I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

8. Bianca del Castana – 02

And, she opened her eyes. All around, it was still dark. I rolled my eyes and looked around, and I saw Cain sleeping soundly next to me. Looking at Cain’s face with her eyes closed, Bianca tried to lift herself up slightly, but the pain in her lower abdomen involuntarily caused her to frown.

‘…Ah, come to think of it…’

I lost my mind. Last night, after lying on the bed with him, she put her body on top of each other. An affair between a man and a woman was an act accompanied by pain, perhaps because it was the first time, but more than that, it felt good. No, it was a happy thing. That’s right. For a woman, there could be nothing happier than making love with the man she loves.

“…Ah, well…”

Bianca slowly raised herself, holding back the pain in her lower abdomen. The blanket she was covering slipped down, revealing her naked body in this little cabin.

However, Bianca just didn’t think much about revealing her naked body next to Cain who was soundly asleep. Anyway, even just a moment ago, I showed every inch of my body in front of Cain, so what is the reason to feel ashamed now?

Glancing at the spot where he had just been lying, he saw clear bloodstains on the bed sheet. Looking at the bloodstain, Bianca somehow felt better. Those bloodstains must be clear evidence that a woman named Bianca del Castana dedicated her first to a man named Cain von Estel.

Bianca walked out the cabin door, roughly wrapped in the dress Cain had ripped off her body just before they made love. Looking up at the sky, it felt like the moon and stars in the night sky were shining brighter than ever. It was clear that she was looking at the same night sky as before, but the landscape reflected in her eyes was completely different from before.

…The reason is probably because her own consciousness of looking up at the night sky has changed. Not too long ago, she just didn’t like this world. However, the emotion Bianca felt while making love with Cain today succeeded in changing her consciousness a little.

It is unlikely that it will be resolved at once, as it is a lump that has accumulated over 30 years, but at this moment, for a woman named Bianca del Castana, it is clear that a change of heart has occurred. There was no Perhaps this is what can be called ‘love’, Bianca gently closed her eyes.

And, that was the time.

“…Well?”

Something is felt. She senses the presence of a rude intruder who has forcibly dismantled the barriers that Bianca had built to form a comfortable nest with Cain, and invaded this place with dirty feet of dirt.

‘…No, they were ‘intruders’.’

When I concentrated my senses, it was not one but two who had invaded the barrier. In addition, the momentum emanating from them was by no means something to belittled. Few people on the present continent have the power to raise awareness of Bianca del Castana, who possesses one of the five most powerful weapons. In addition, on the surface, there were only three people who would follow Cain and himself, who had gone on a honeymoon trip, to this place.

“Saint, Ariel Thiers. And Iris el Devhart, Princess of the Empire. Probably these two.”

At first, he suspected that one of the intruders might be Kyrie el Denaris, but realized that the chances of Kyrie coming here were extremely slim. This is because Bianca and Kirie made several oaths to the World Tree. Among them, there was an agreement to keep each other’s whereabouts a secret from others, so it would be safe to say that the possibility of Kyrie visiting this place was extremely rare.

“By the way, those women are great women too.”

Bianca murmured that with a wry smile in spite of herself. He didn’t mean to say that he had kidnapped Cain and brought him to this place, but he lost his temper at the word ‘milk month trip’ and finally chased them all the way to this place.

“…Then, how should I treat the rude guests who broke into other people’s nests in the middle of the night?”

If it was like a fair amount of night guests, she would have personally stepped forward and served the guests without worrying, but unfortunately, the ‘guests’ who came to their nest today were bigwigs that Bianca could never take lightly.

Their status was also their status, and they were sure to be formidable enemies whose personal might was not to be underestimated. Moreover, seeing that Ariel and Iris, who are not on good terms enough to make even the word dog mates look like a very close and friendly relationship, came all the way here, it seems that the two of them were not enough to be angry at her, so their eyes turned upside down. It seemed. A great sense of crisis came over her, thinking that she could bury her bones here today.

And, as if to congratulate her on the accuracy of her judgment, a ferocious and ferocious roar echoed in all directions.

“…an invitation, yes.”

Just now, the disparate life that caused the inside of the barrier to vibrate was an unmistakable signal of invitation. It was also an outright temptation, whispering that instead of hiding next to Cain like a rat, come here and risk your life.

“…huh.”

While she sneered, she quietly moved her steps to the source where the gigantic life force had just been shaken. Anyway, if it didn’t come from the other side, I planned to hit it from this side. She wanted to refrain from fighting Cain to the death with other women and sparking fire at him. It was Bianca’s theory that ‘home help’ as a wife was not limited to simply handling household chores.

Crossing the open meadow in front of the cabin and moving toward the entrance of the barrier that protected the nest she and Cain stayed in, right in front of the place where the space itself had cracks like cookies, a woman pointed towards Bianca. The appearance of revealing a terrifying life comes into the eyes.

“…under?”

The moment the woman’s image was engraved in his eyes, an embarrassed voice escaped from Bianca’s mouth. It wasn’t enough that Bianca broke the barrier she had set up while planning a cozy home with Cain like a cookie, and the main character spewing terrifying murder at her even at this moment was a completely different person than she expected.

Currently, the woman standing in front of Bianca’s eyes is not the first servant and shield of the goddess, who boasts the strongest defense power in the human world due to the ‘protection of light’, and is not Saint Ariel Tier, but possesses the ‘Sword of the Sky’ and is the most proud of mankind. Not even Iris el Devhart, the sharp sword. The identity of the woman was something that Bianca hadn’t factored into her calculations for even a moment.

Looking at the figure of a girl with white hair and purple eyes, a bewildered voice came out of Bianca’s mouth.

“…witch?”

****

About 15 minutes before Aria and Bianca face each other.

“I found it. This must be the base where Bianca del Castana is hiding like a rat.”

Arya had a very cold face and was pointing with her finger in the middle of a deserted field where nothing seemed to exist at first glance. In Arya’s left hand, she held the branch of the world tree she had received from Kyrie, and in her right hand, she was holding a splendid platinum tie pin.

Needless to say, the tie pin Arya was holding was one of the gifts Bianca del Castana gave to Duke Estel as a bribe. When Bianca del Castana presented a tie pin to the Duke of Estelle, she put various magics on the tie pin for her prospective father-in-law, including preservation magic and cleansing magic. Until then, the tie pins had remnants of her magical power.

Aria, who felt the cuteness of Bianca del Castana from the first time she saw the tie pin, thought of using the tie pin the moment she heard about the efficacy of the branch of the world tree from Kyrie. It was a moment when she didn’t like it at all when she showed all sorts of fawning in front of Duke Estelle. Also, there was no other item where Bianca del Castana’s magical power still vividly remained.

Retracing Bianca’s residual magic within the tie pin, Aria and Iris finally succeeded in grabbing Bianca del Castana by the scruff of her neck.

“…Huh, this is true. There is no place to be bold. There is no place to be really bold.”

Iris only clicked her tongue as she realized where Bianca del Castana had kidnapped Cain and hid. Surprisingly, the place where Bianca del Castana was hiding herself like a rat was in the middle of a deserted field a few kilometers away from the main town of the Duchy of Estel.

No matter how much it is said, criminals tend to reappear at the place where they committed the crime, but to think that they were living in front of the Duchy of Estel after carrying out the daring task of kidnapping. At this point, Iris was only beginning to get confused as to whether Bianca had a lot of guts or was really just insane.

“…huh. I think that gloomy woman just wanted to create a honeymoon atmosphere with Cain. It’s a fact I’ve felt since I first saw her, but she really is nothing more than a woman who smells like sandalwood in a gutter.”

“…..”

Iris stared blankly at Aria, who was hurling curses and curses at Bianca. Obviously, when I first saw Aria at Lumentium, she was a cute girl full of innocence, but it seems that her mouth has become very rough in the past few months. In addition, the two bright and pure eyes were filled with poison and murder. Apparently, the saying that if a woman harbors resentment, there will be frost even in May, doesn’t seem wrong.

“Anyway, that bitch Bianca is kidnapping and imprisoning Cain with a barrier here, you mean?”

“Yes, that’s right. Currently, it refracts the air to keep it from being noticed by others, and builds a barrier with invisible elasticity.”

“…To put it simply, Bianca del Castana has set up an invisible barrier around here, can I understand it like this?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Arya nodded in agreement with Iris’ words, and Iris slightly frowned as if something were troubling her.

“Hmm, breaking barriers isn’t my specialty… Plus, invisible barriers are tricky.”

The ‘Sword of the Sky’ that Iris wields has the mighty power to cut all existing materials in this world. By interfering with the world itself, even for a moment, the will that embodies her image itself enforces its own laws on all substances that exist within the range of the slash.

However, paradoxically, the power Iris wielded was so strong that delicate tasks such as breaking barriers were located in the opposite realm of hers. If he swung his sword wrongly and even Cain, who was in the barrier, was split in two, wouldn’t that be the case?

“Boundary parfait is Bianca del Castana, that girl’s specialty. But this time, the girl has set up such a barrier and is stuck inside like a slug, so everything has become very funny.”

That’s how Iris was at the moment when she was struggling with how to pierce this barrier by any means.

awesome-

From somewhere, I heard the sound of something breaking. As an analogy, should I say it’s similar to the sound you get when you crush a cookie with too much force? When Iris turned her eyes to the source of the sound, she saw a crack in the space in front of Arya, as if a window had been shattered.

“…Ha, you set it up pretty solidly in the fodder, right?”

Arya muttered in a sarcastic voice, then punched the cracked space with her fist as if to catch a fly.

Clink-!

As soon as Arya’s fists touched, a sound like something breaking glass was scattered, and the space itself was shattered. As a result, a part of the barrier also collapsed on its own, and at the same time, a hole was created that seemed to allow one person to pass through.

“…Gee, nonsense…”

Iris let out a groan as she watched the phenomenon that happened in front of her eyes. Iris didn’t know too much about magic, but she could see how absurd Arya had just been.

The barrier was a magical structure that had no place to be delicate. It might be possible to break the barrier itself by giving a huge shock, but the act of destroying only a part of the barrier like Arya did must be an unheard-of miracle. 10 years from now, even Bianca del Castana, who was called the world’s strongest wizard, was unable to destroy part of the barrier!

“Princess. That’s it. Let’s go in.”

Arya, who didn’t even care what expression Iris was making towards her, gestured towards her in a tone that seemed to blow away the cold. There were so many things I wanted to say, but in the current situation, it was not important, so Iris didn’t say anything and followed Arya and entered the inside of the barrier.

When Aria and Iris entered the barrier, inside the barrier, unlike the outside, there was an open meadow. Apparently, it seemed that Bianca del Castana had put a lot of effort into the barrier work to live with Cain.

“It looks like the space inside the barrier will easily exceed 10 km. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to split into two and put each other’s goals first?”

Iris smiled bitterly at those blatant words that seemed to declare that she no longer needed the princess’s help because she had achieved what she had set out to do. Anyway, he didn’t need Arya’s help anymore, so he was a common man.

“Right. You are right. Then I’ll make finding out Cain’s whereabouts my top priority. Arya, what are you going to do?”

“I only have two things to do here. One thing is to rescue Cain from this place and bring him to a safe place. And one other thing…”

A terrifying demonic spirit burned in Arya’s eyes, and soon the terrifying life force shook the entire barrier.

“It’s trash cleaning.”
