Episode 196.

Before I knew it, I was in a place that wasn’t the royal palace.

A wide meadow with no end in sight. It’s a place I’ve seen before.

That person in front of me too.

“Enekra?”

The green-clothed witch spun around.

“Lustier… That’s Lustier’s child.”

It seems like he doesn’t recognize me. It certainly seemed to be a different entity from the Enekra I had seen before in Mystilia. First of all, the impression was very different.

Unlike back then, when he had his hair down and was wearing old, tattered black clothes, Enekra was now wearing a more calm and neat green outfit.

It seems appropriate to call her a witch in the forest. He also looked much younger.

Could this be what it looked like when the Book of Enekra was written? Like the will of Enekra that resided in Mystilia, the will of the time may also be embedded in the grimoire.

“Yes, that’s right. My name is Sarah Lustier. She is the princess of the Lustier Kingdom.”

“Lustier Kingdom… Then you are Luke’s descendant. The fact that you were chosen for my book… Huhu, yes, I see.”

The young and beautiful Enekra smiled happily. I felt like I knew what she was happy about. So I felt a little heartbroken.

He probably thinks of me as a joint descendant of Luke and himself. But that didn’t happen. A discord broke out between the two, and King Luke tried to kill Enekra, and the reality is that Enekra left a curse of hatred towards Lustier forever.

There’s no need to talk about it. The green witch in front of me right now is probably not Enekra herself. It’s just a remnant of will that remains.

“But… where is this place? Why was I called to this place?”

“Definitely you were chosen for my book. But surprisingly, it appears that another qualified person has come into contact with it. I am a body prepared to prepare for situations like this. As a member of the great witch, I plan to judge fairly who is more worthy of my power.”

uh…

In the situation just a moment ago, Carmel had never touched the grimoire. This is something I can say with certainty because I was paying special attention to it.

Could it be that using a spell from a grimoire or coming into contact with the mana contained in a grimoire counts as touching the book? There is no other way to think about it, but…

Moreover, no matter where I looked around, there was no sign of Carmel.

“Then where is the other owner? Is the selection being done in another space?”

“No, I’m trying to bring him here. But compared to you, I am putting up a lot of resistance. This guy has a bit of a temper…”

Well, since an unknown black magic has attacked, it would be natural to resist if you can. The reason I couldn’t resist and was obediently dragged in was because I didn’t have the mana to do so.

“Whoa, it’s finally over.”

The moment Enekra said that, black magic bloomed next to him. Carmel’s appearance appeared in the black magic that was like a smoke screen.

“Haaa, haaa… Tsk… W-this place…?”

Carmel seemed surprised that she had suddenly been dragged somewhere other than the royal bed. But it was nothing compared to Enekra’s astonishment.

“Well, you… are my descendants… right? But… what the hell…?”

It is no wonder that Enekra is surprised. Carmel was wearing the same clothes as when she was in bed a little while ago.

A blindfold is placed over both eyes, both wrists are handcuffed behind the back, there is a patch on the chest that shows countless tentacles writhing around, and a thick, hard dildo is inserted into the butt hole.

A perverted appearance, as if every inch of the body was treated like a toy. It is natural for Enekra to be shocked.

“Who, who are you…? Where are you, Sarah…”

Carmel herself seemed to be confused as to whether she could establish the queen’s dignity in this way. I didn’t think the story would progress like this, so I removed Carmel’s eye patch.

“Uh, um, hello, mother?”

“Sera…! W-what is this place…? Could this be you too…?”

“No, I was also forcibly brought here. By that person, the witch Enekra.”

I pointed to Enekra, who was looking at Carmel with a puzzled expression. Carmel’s eyes opened wide when she saw that.

“Enek…Cra…? Enekra, the great witch, the master of the black things…?”

“Ugh, umm… yes, that’s me. But you… what on earth are you doing? prostitute? No, even prostitutes wouldn’t behave so lowly… How did my descendants fall to this level…”

“Ugh… no! Due to some circumstances, it looks like this now…! Until now, I have been faithfully following Enekra’s magic instructions! It’s true!”

“Hmm… If you look at the fact that he was chosen as the master, it seems that he is not lacking in qualities… However, his appearance is very noble.”

When Enekra snapped his fingers, Carmel’s appearance changed. Dressed like a witch similar to Enekra. This look also suits very well.

This is not a real space anyway. Perhaps it is a world where only the spirit is embodied. The reason why Carmel’s clothes were like that was probably because she perceived her condition to be that way.

Carmel, who was now dressed in decent clothes, stood in front of Enekra, bowed slightly and spoke.

“I would like to formally greet you, Enekra. I’m Carmel. I am the queen of the Lustier Kingdom and your distant descendant.”

This is the first time I’ve seen Carmel show such a polite attitude, not just pretending. However, Enekra had an even more incomprehensible look on his face.

“Queen…? Of course I thought they were sisters, but I guess that wasn’t the case. One was called queen and the other was called princess. However, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in age. hmm. I think there must be a story. What kind of cider is it?”

What’s going on? Carmel and I briefly exchanged glances and then nodded. And they answered with one voice.

“They are an ordinary mother and daughter.”

“We are in a romantic relationship.”

Hmm… Carmel glared at me horribly, as if she had been betrayed.

But you just said queen and princess.

If you say you’re a lover there… it’s a bit strange.

As expected, Enekra looked even more confused.

“Mother and daughter? Mother and daughter, but lovers? Then, could it be what it looked like at first…? Ah… wow, does the kingdom’s sexual indulgence extend to this point…? Ah, Luke…”

Enekra touched his head as if he was dizzy. There is no need to add here that it is okay because she is a stepmother.

I cleared my throat and changed the subject.

“Kuhm, Enekra. Isn’t that what’s important now? There remains a mission to determine the owner of the grimoire.”

“ Determine the owner of the grimoire…? Could it be Enekra’s letter…?”

Carmel opened her eyes wide again. It seems that Carmel also did not know about the situation when she had two owners.

“Yes, that’s right. Well… I won’t ask any more about the dirty sexual ideas of your time. To be honest, I don’t really want to know… In that case, let’s proceed with the determination ceremony in earnest.”

Enekra had a solemn face and radiated magical power. Mana came up on the ground and drew a magic circle under Carmel and me’s feet.

“This is…?”

“Well, don’t worry about it for now. The first step in the discernment ritual is asking questions. After hearing your answers, I will determine who is more worthy of being the owner of my grimoire, 『I, the master of the dark things, a collection of dark magic that manipulates the human mind, painstakingly written by the great witch Enekra herself』. Nora.”

Enekra asked, pointing at me with his finger.

“First, Sarah. Sera, why do you want to obtain a powerful object called a grimoire?”

“Because it requires strength.”

The moment I answered, the magic circle under my feet glowed green. Is this a magic circle that can confirm lies?

“Power… That’s an ordinary answer. So why do you want power?”

This time I answered without the slightest hesitation.

“To obtain my mother and Carmel. That’s all I want.”

This time, the magic circle glowed green. Enekra was not embarrassed this time because he had heard it once. I just sighed softly.

“Phew, I understand. It’s the truth without any lies. Then Carmel. This time I will ask you. Why do you want my grimoire?”

Carmel hesitated for a moment. He even lowered his head as if thinking about something. And spoke carefully.

“Enekra… I don’t want Enekra’s book anymore.”

At that moment, the magic circle beneath Carmel’s feet glowed red. Enekra shook his head and said.

“It looks like you lied. There is no penalty for doing so, but… it would be better to answer honestly, Carmel.”

“No… I really…!”

Perhaps Carmel’s words are sincere. She must have thought that by telling me the story of Princess Sera, she could really give up the Book of Enekra.

But giving up is the same thing as wanting something.

“If he truly didn’t want it, he wouldn’t have maintained his status as the owner and wouldn’t have been brought here. You still want my strength. Don’t lie to yourself and be honest.”

Enekra in his youth had the dignity of a great mage. As Carmel, who respects her, she must be even more irresistible.

Carmel looked at me for a moment and then began to speak.

“Okay… I-I wanted to be helpful to Sarah…”

“Yes?”

This is my first time hearing it. I looked at Carmel in surprise, but she was avoiding my gaze.

“Sera, be quiet. Carmel, can you explain in more detail? Now you and Sarah are competing for the right to become the owners of the grimoire. If you really wanted to help Sarah, wouldn’t it make sense to give in?

“That’s true… But… If Sera’s magic surpasses me… I’ll have no way to help her… ”

Carmel was trembling as if she was so embarrassed to reveal her inner feelings. With a bright red face, without even looking in this direction.
