16-4 Part 3
The Village that Burned with Revenge
- The Burned Demon -

「We did it, we did it!」
「How about that, did you see my
exploits, Shinza!! Wahahahaha, delightful, delightful, this is why
firefights with you are irresistible!! Mu, what is this, I can't see anything
through the steam!?」
It seems yielding to curiosity and climbing up immediately
was the right answer. The pool I built had turned into a scorching bath. The
burning giant became a hot stone, evaporating the water in the waterway. But
there is no limit to a waterway connected to a river. Until the burning demon
completely changed into an unexpected existence, sultry steam enveloped the
town of Enes for what felt like 4 or 5 minutes.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇
When the water vapor cleared, a strange figure was sunk in
the water. It was a human that had become a pitch-black cinder. The figure of
the burning demon was gone without a trace, leaving only a far too tiny
remnant. The cinder doesn't move. It looks dead.
「Kukuku... Well done, Shinza.
That is exactly why you are Wagahai's Apostle.」
「Yeah... But, what was this in the
end?」
「Umu. I have hunted numerous monsters
as well, but I have never seen such a thing even once. It was plenty worth
devouring, though, wahahaha, it was fun, Shinza!」
We all gathered and looked down at the water surface where
everything had ended. Zirant didn't answer immediately. She seemed
hesitant to answer the question.
「Wagahai cannot understand it either. But, this might have
originally been a human...」
「A person changed their appearance
into a burning demon? That's just like a fairy tale or a story from the other
world.」
「Well, not knowing just means we
don't know, and that's that! Oi,
everyone! We took it down!!」
Belatedly, Kachua and the tank group came over to us.
Since Sigrun ran off towards them, I casually turned my eyes to Zirant.
I started wanting to complain a little.
「I had a hard time. You could have
helped a little more.」
「Hoh... But didn't you, when was that
again... didn't you evaluate Wagahai as being intrusive?」
Come to think of it, Zirant had a grudge-holding
personality... The young girl smiled faintly, looking somewhat pleased that she
could retaliate. That gesture of being overly confident in one's own beauty
gives off a massively overstretching vibe when Zirant does it. But that
exactly is like the Zirant I know.
「It's a fact that you are intrusive,
isn't it. You are a guy who makes arbitrary secret maneuvers in places I don't
know about.」
「That is also because of love.」
「You've got some nerve saying that...」
「It is not a lie. Right now, I even
feel affection for you. For Wagahai to be Wagahai, your existence
is necessary. As long as you are by my side, Wagahai is not an imitation.」
「...I see. I don't understand the
meaning, but it doesn't feel bad.」
「Ashley, you truly did well. My blood boiled for the first time in
a while too, fufufu...」
The young girl who was convinced she was a peerless beauty
threw both arms around my neck, made eyes at me, and then disappeared from the
world while laughing provocatively. If you weren't there, I would have suffered
a severe burn. I'm the one who was saved, Zirant.
Sigrun and Kachua
are also reliable, but we can't stay together forever. If so, you are precisely
my partner. Thanks to you, there are no more nights of being frightened by
assassins. There is no way I am not grateful.
Thus, I became a pale blue glowing firefly as usual, and
received the rewards of the grand adventure brought by the bizarre book. It was
after witnessing a burning demon. No one cared if a person glowed a little.

『Now, the problem is what comes after
this. It seems Sigrun has a brilliant idea for you.』
Sigrun, huh...? It's definitely nothing good anyway. Also, I will answer this without falsifying anything. I have no interest in the Empire's disturbances. Once I see the conclusion where Georg-aniue and Atomina-aneue live peacefully, I intend to travel the world seeking unseen worlds and gourmet food. The gateway to the Coastal Provinces, Salzland. And at its furthest end, Port Ake, I want to go there. If possible, on Carral Hez's ship.
