13 – First Hugs

“…… !”

Wheek!

As if he came to his senses instantly.

She hurriedly opened her eyes, and White swung vigorously with blue light in the blades of her hands.

Kaang!

“…… Disciple?”

But that bloody attack was blocked by Ashera’s index finger.

The index finger she held out was filled with pure blue mana.

“…… Asherah?”

Seeing Ashera’s appearance beginning to appear in the blurry vision, White finally erased her bloody expression.

Then, just after that.

“…… Asherah!”

“Aww!”

She lunged at her Ashera and hugged her tightly.

How could I not be surprised by such a sudden contact with White?

“Ha ha ha…… ?”

While putting on a bewildered expression, Ashera’s cheeks turned red from her embarrassment.

…… What?

Is the disciple holding me now?

Is this me?

A disciple?

“My, disciple? What is this?”

As calmly as possible, Ashera asked as if muttering.

“…… Ah, Asherah.”

I don’t know what the hell she was thinking, White just blurted out her name, making her eyes watery.

“…… Disciple.”

At that point, did you feel something?

Ashera bit her mouth tight with a look of concern.

-Master! Look at this, it’s a unique magic I created!

“… ….”

What she remembers is the time when the boy of her one day said those words to herself with a bright smile.

‘…… White, who was like that, happened to be like this.’

…… What the hell have you been through

Ashera’s expression began to sink into a slightly gloomy expression.

“Ashera, Asherah… ….”

“… ….”

What happened and what kind of sight did you witness?

She clearly remembered the appearance of her own apprentice, who had changed from a certain point in her life.

Can you tell me?

‘Can’t I alleviate that worry, even just a little bit? Disciple.’

Ashera’s eyes slowly began to take on a gloomy light.

“Ashera… ….”

“…… Whoops.”

…… That’s it.

“Disciple.”

Ashera had a bright smile on her face.

That was a smile as if the goddess of beauty had descended.

“…… Ashe-“

Towards Ashera, White tried to lift her head.

Just then.

Wow!

“…… !”

A lightning bolt of pure blue light struck White precisely.

“…… Where do you call the name of a sky-like master carelessly? Do you want to be beaten?”

Ashera spat out those words with a slightly bloody smile.

“I’m sorry. Ashe-“

At that, White unconsciously tried to say her apology.

Shoot aaa!

“… ….”

What attacked him this time was a huge waterfall of water.

It was a very cold waterfall that seemed like it would freeze.

White, who had become like a rat soaked in water in an instant, corrected his words with a somewhat confused expression.

“…… I’m sorry, Master.”

“Right, it should be.”

It was only then that a sincere smile appeared on Ashera’s face.

And after that.

“… ….”

“… ….”

A strangely uncomfortable and ambiguous silence settled between the two for a moment.

What should I say first?

White glanced at the golden demon king lying a little away, thinking about things that were difficult to explain.

‘…… No, I didn’t. Really tight.’

As for the thoughts Ashera had in mind, the resolution was much different.

-…… Asherah!

“…… Um, umm.”

Remembering the image of White running towards him with a bright smile on his face.

Woe!

Ashera slowly dyed her face red.

With the nape of her neck flushed red, Ashera’s eyes began to shake with a look of bewilderment.

‘Disciple, can’t I…… ?’

“…… Ah, ugh.”

At one possibility that flashed through her mind for a moment, Ashera covered her face with her hands.

But one thing is clear: the face that can be seen through the gaps between her fingers.

Because it was the part that was blushing like a blush.

‘…… Me, what should I do?’

Ashera rolled her eyes in confusion.

“… ….”

However, I can’t keep this uncomfortable silence forever.

Ashera only quietly rolled her eyes to examine White’s expression.

She seemed to have no intention of opening her mouth first, her own disciple.

Then what should I do?

I have to say something to ease this uncomfortable atmosphere.

It will be her own role.

“…… Disciple-“

So, Ashera opened her mouth and tried to spit out something roughly.

“That way! The traces of mana have been cut off over there!”

“…… !”

It was about that time when a man’s grave voice resonated loudly.

The expressions of White and Ashera hardened at the same time.

“Master.”

“…… Yes.”

Ashera nodded once at White’s call, and in an instant she erased the emotion of agitation from her expression.

It was obviously surprising that a grown-up disciple hugged him tightly.

It wasn’t impossible for Ashera to block out that level of emotional agitation.

Rather simple.

If she hadn’t been able to control her emotions to that extent, there would have been no way she would have reached her highest level.

“…… Whoa.”

Ashera changed her expression gravely and quickly grabbed White’s hand.

After that, I immediately started chanting some magic.

「Silent」

「Hide」

Ugh-

According to the two magics, the sounds around Ashera and White disappeared.

Saaa-

At the same time, the shapes of the two began to slowly change into a blur.

From noble mtl dot com

And right after that.

“…… This!”

A few wizards dressed in luxurious costumes have arrived near White and Ashera.

Of course, they didn’t notice the existence of the two people.

“… ….”

There was only one existence that did not fall under Ashera’s hidden magic.

‘…… Oops!’

Ashera remembered the unexpected part of her and hardened her expression.

“… ….”

White also carefully turned her head in one direction, with a puzzled look on her face.

…… White’s eyes captured the image of the golden demon king lying down without even realizing it.

“Absolutely. The gold demon king, he himself.”

“…… Dead?”

A middle-aged man with a pattern of the Clifford family carved near the left chest of his costume muttered with a look of bewilderment.

“Who the hell is that golden demon king…… ?”

The man’s expression sank into a serious expression.

This was no light matter.

It was dispatched in a hurry because the runaway mana was detected in the golden tower.

If the sight we were facing was the death of the golden devil.

…… If known, it was an issue that would at least turn the continent upside down.

“… ….”

“…… What shall we do, Captain?”

“Wait a minute.”

At the subordinate’s cautious question, the leader bit his lip lightly.

…… At this moment, the most important decision you have to make is yourself.

As long as Duke Teikan Clifford, who is the leader of the 2nd Wizarding Corps of the Clifford family, is not here, only his own judgment will have a meaningful effect.

“… ….”

A line of cold sweat ran down the leader’s cheek.

All sorts of thoughts and random thoughts were swirling around in my head and disappearing over and over again.

It was such a serious matter, and it was a situation that required the right judgment.

…… As the leader of the Clifford family’s wizards, he had handled countless serious issues.

The death of one demon king who occupied the throne of the ’12 demon kings’ was never inferior even if compared to those things.

No, on the contrary, it’s more than enough to take an overwhelming blow.

“…… Are you sure it’s dead?”

It was difficult to come to a conclusion, so the leader started talking like that.

One of his men cautiously approached the fallen golden demon.

“… ….”

There was a tense silence all around.

“Captain, this is… ….”

Soon, his subordinate opened his mouth cautiously.

“I’m sure he’s dead. The beating of the heart and the activity of the brain are completely stopped.”

“…… !”

The captain’s eyes widened beyond that.

…… Are you really dead?

To whom is the golden demon king?

“…… What the hell is going on here?”

The leader kept his mouth shut in confusion.

“──.”

At that point, a small, unnatural wind blew up.

The leader, who was concentrating on the golden demon king’s corpse, didn’t notice such an unnatural sign with a single difference.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Just keeping their mouths shut, White and Ashera quickly left the spot.
