My Daughters Have Regressed

179 – Debuting in the Social World Is Difficult! #9

179 – Making a social debut is difficult! # 9

“It’s noisy.”

As I was tearing off a large crab leg and eating its flesh in the banquet hall, I felt a strange commotion that made my hair stand on end.

The location of the disturbance is a villa located about 50 meters away from the adults’ banquet hall.

It was clear that something had gone wrong.

Soon Salome, who was talking among the crowd about ‘what is good wine,’ also frowned slightly.

Then he came to my side and asked.

“You felt it too, right?”

“Uh.”

“Is this something Brigitte did? Brigitte, you didn’t even show up at the banquet hall, so where did you cause trouble?”

No wonder Salome was so suspicious. The reason she made me so upset was because she had a magical energy similar to that of Bridget.

But the difference was that the evil karma was a little richer.

She is a mage with magical powers similar to Brigitte and rich in evil karma─.

As far as I know, there was about one person.

“Valdesne, the devastated wizard.”

“… What? That monster? “Wasn’t your party the one who killed him?”

Salome was embarrassed.

Valdes, the devastated wizard.

He was a monster who drove people into despair with overwhelming firepower on the battlefield where the fate of Pandemonium and humanity was at stake.

I kept his soul in the shadows, but it was lost on the day of the Great Destruction when Nocturne was resurrected.

I didn’t know where it went so I was looking for it, but I never thought I’d come across it in a place like this.

Should I step forward?

While I was thinking that, someone shouted.

“It’s an invasion by demons! “The devil has invaded Ordor’s banquet hall!”

“It’s Valdes, the devastated wizard! The wizard devastated Valdez has appeared! Quickly, send in the royal family’s anti-horse soldiers and subdue them!”

“This guy has appeared in the villa, so make sure the children’s safety is your top priority!”

Who is it?

Salome said while I was frowning slightly.

“They are members of the Valuntari royal family. They are relatives of the Ordor royal family and are the royal family of a neighboring country. They are capable people, but… , Aren’t you responding too quickly?”

Salome was right.

It’s Valdez’s magic that was confused with Salome and Brigitte.

They clearly identified the ‘object’ and ‘place’ as if they had known in advance that this would happen.

And you brought anti-horse soldiers, who are effective in dealing with wizards, to this Ordor capital as guards at the right time?

It was quite intentional.

I don’t know what kind of relationship they had with the impoverished wizard Valdez, but it seemed like there was something that could be called a conspiracy or a plot.

Were you planning on using Valdes to overthrow the Ordor royal family?

No, I don’t think that’s the case.

The proof was that the people of the Valuntari royal family also looked embarrassed.

It’s probably a plan that can be called the ‘worst’ even for them.

Zek-.

Then Salome grabbed my arm.

“Shouldn’t we go quickly too? “There are also our children in the villa.”

“There’s no need to rush. “There is Morumoru.”

It was like that.

There were a lot of children in the villa, but there were also a lot of Morumoru.

Morumoru is a creature so powerful that even Nocturne was tied up for a long time.

Although the devastated wizard Valdez was a difficult opponent, he was not difficult enough to break through the Anvils’ defenses.

# # # #

━Death. Puppet. Control.

Valdes chanted the magic of three syllables.

The simple name of the chant is as follows.

━The play of death.

The play of death.

It was Valdez’s specialty his, a necromantic technique that spewed out the fog of death and then controlled the people who lost their lives as a result of it like puppets.

With this magic, Valdes once reigned over death itself in a battlefield with many soldiers.

The children gathered in this banquet hall will have absolutely no means to resist this death magic.

━Come on, dance, kids.

All the children screamed and tried to run away at the words of the undead Valdez, who had nothing but hatred for the living.

But for some reason, the door to the banquet hall was closed tightly and could not be opened!

━This banquet hall was tightly closed with my barrier. Using your deaths as a sacrifice, I create a new body and aim for ‘transcendence.’

No matter what he looked like, Valdez was ultimately a wizard who sought the truth.

Even in this situation, like a wizard, he wanted to acquire the truth called ‘transcendence’.

‘I was lucky.’

When he died while serving the devil and had his soul stolen by Judas, Valdes was frustrated. However, on the day Nocturne was resurrected, he too was resurrected through a shadow.

Because the technique resembled necromancy, Valdes was able to free himself from the spell that was being manipulated.

Although the soul was freed, it was sealed by the Valuntari royal forces stationed near Phrygia.

But in the end, it was resurrected like this.

‘I can only say I’m lucky.’

Even though he had nothing left but his soul, Valdez was extremely cheerful.

He is now only a few steps away from transcendence.

━Meow.

━Crumbling!

However, not everything went according to Valdez’s plan.

Because strange creatures were protecting Valdes’ instant death magic.

It was a strange-looking hairball.

━What is it?

It was a truly strange creature.

Two years ago, when Valdes roamed the battlefield, these creatures did not exist.

It looked cute, but its arms were so strong that it was rather strange.

“Morumoru, it’s a hydro pump!”

Then the little girl shouted.

It was a girl with black hair.

However, his magical power somehow resembles someone that Valdez knows.

“Is she the daughter of the dark wizard Brigitte?”

Fuuuuu-.

A strong stream of water spurts from the anvil.

The cutting power of that water pressure was enough to cut rocks.

Soon the children who were watching also shouted.

“Boosty! “It’s all capital letters!”

“Chicorito! Vine whip!”

Grumbling.

Snap-!

The anvils unleashed a powerful attack.

It was a child’s joke story, but it was so effective that Valdez’s soul had a hard time maintaining the reality it had barely realized.

‘In order to deal with the children, we have no choice but to use the magical energy invested in the barrier. But there is Brigitte outside the barrier. If you don’t pay even the slightest attention to maintaining the barrier, Brigitte will break through the barrier.’

A difficult situation in many ways.

However, luck was smiling on Valdez as well.

━Astarosa, is it nearby? I can feel your insidious energy. Instead of just watching, why don’t you help me? As one corner of the same three pillars.

Valdes noticed that Astarosa was nearby.

With her help her, it will somehow be possible to escape this place.

Seuseuseuk-.

Soon, a devil woman hiding at the party appeared.

“Valdes, why should I help you?”

━Like you, I went from a human to a demon. Therefore, they are one of the few who may know how to return from a demon race to a human being. You must be curious?

In fact, while fleeing on the day of her great destruction of Astarosa, she encountered a troop of the Balun Tari royal family.

And I witnessed them sealing Valdez in a gourd of anti-horse.

Astarosa, who wanted Valdez’s knowledge of her, made a deal with the Baluntari royal family, and she was forced to play the role of a ‘villain’ who would appear at the right time and be defeated appropriately.

Soon, the anti-horse soldiers of the Valuntari royal family will break through the barrier and appear.

At that time, Astarosa’s role was to successfully defeat him and raise the prestige of the Valuntari royal family.

Of course, Valdez did not know the details, but he seemed to know very well that this situation was a ‘trap’.

‘Someone deliberately released me into this place full of creatures called Morumoru. I know I can’t harm my children. They are trying to use me in some kind of play.’

In many ways, it is a crisis itself.

At that time, a girl with very long blue hair stood up and shouted.

“What… Everyone, don’t panic! The anti-horse soldiers of the Valuntari Kingdom will arrive soon! “I’m trying to hold on until then!”

Neva.

Valdes quickly realized that the girl named Neva was deeply involved in this trap. If that child and his family want him to act like the ‘devil’, they have no choice but to do so.

━… You looked at me so disrespectfully.

Valdez gathered his magical power with the intention of destroying his own soul.

It turned into a small bead between Valdez’s bony palms and eventually became a spear of death that pierced everything.

━Piece through and die.

Paat-!

Spear of death.

It was ejected towards Neva.

It was so fast that space was distorted.

Neva closed her eyes tightly and watched his short life like a beacon. The moment I thought he was going to die like this

━Meow.

Something jumped up and blocked the space between the Spear of Death and Neva. In the end, the Spear of Death failed to hit Neba and disappeared in the air.

Instead, one Morumoru suffered serious injuries.

“What… Morumoru… !”

Neva was really surprised.

Because I didn’t think that Neva’s Morumoru would save Neva.

This was because Neva did not give Morumoru much affection.

However, Moru Moru thought of Nebara as a friend who needed to be protected, and in the end, she received a terrible magic instead.

Sssss-.

━Meow…

The anvil of Neva was reduced to powder as if it were disappearing.

Seeing that, Neva felt very regretful, ashamed, regretful, and sad.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been a little closer to her.

I wish I had brushed her fur a little more, fed her, and walked her with her!

It was too late to regret it.

━It’s great karma. Did you say morumoru? As I defeat him, my body begins to overflow with power. Haha!

Valdez laughed and shouted wildly.

Morumoru is a life created as an ‘artificial devil’ to lead people to transcendence.

It was natural that she could obtain high karma when she defeated such an anvil.

Pajik, Pajijik-.

Valdez’s body began to be enveloped by what looked like black lightning.

It’s a desperate situation no matter who sees it.

Clink-!

Sigh-!

Something broke through the window and barrier and became lodged in the pillar.

It was a silver arrow.

Paaang-!

Perhaps because a small hole was created, the barrier itself soon broke.

In the midst of all the chaos, something black rushed into the small banquet hall.

“Cecily, are you okay?”

She was Garot.

Demon Hunter Garot.

To be honest, Cecily, who was a bit scared, felt so relieved when she saw Garot that she wanted to go to the bathroom.

“You’re wearing a dress!”

Garot looked very noble.

But Garot clicked her tongue and pulled the hem of her skirt with her hand, tearing off her skirt.

It was to make it easier to move.

“I thought things were a little more peaceful these days. But to me, this is more fun. Cecily, I may not be the cultured mother you hope for.”

That was probably a good thing for Cecily right now.

I just hope that the scary villain wizard in front of her will disappear.

Garrot’s eyes now turned to Astarosa in the corner.

“You.”

“…”

Astarosa did not particularly open her mouth.

Even if she had opened her mouth, Garot wouldn’t have had time to listen.

Valdez started firing magic indiscriminately.

“Brigitte! There is! “Unfold a barrier so that Valdes cannot escape outside!”

Garot shouted.

Bridgette, who soon entered the banquet hall, nodded her head.

“I will do it even if you don’t tell me!”

Paaang-!

As Brigitte pounded the floor with her staff, an intense black barrier was created in the palace.

Valdez used his strength to tear this barrier, but its strength was on a different level from Brigitte’s barrier he had known before.

━You’ve become stronger, little wizard.

“Who calls you a child! Guys! Hurry and run outside the barrier! Naru, Cecily, Hina! You guys lead the kids!”

Naru, Cecily, and Hina were children who had experienced all kinds of battles. They began to lead the children skillfully, and eventually all the children escaped outside the barrier.

Now, the only people left in the barrier are Astarosa, Valdez, Brigitte, and Garot.

Brigitte took a deep breath after seeing that the last child had escaped outside the barrier.

It was Walpurgis’ breathing method.

“After…”

━Are you planning to kill me? Brigitte, only I know how to remove the curse of immortality that has been placed on you? Astarosa, only I know how you can return to human form!

Valdes was a mean man.

Even in this situation, he figured out a way out.

Of course, Brigitte did not fall for this story as she had become stronger and stronger through various experiences.

She just pointed her wand and lightly cited a spell.

“Hell’s flames.”

Grumbling-.

Valdez’s soul burned.

The flames of hell so powerful that even the soul can be burned.

It burned Valdez’s very existence and caused him extreme pain.

━Geuaaagh, ugh! V, Brigitte you bitch!!!!

“We are. From that day on, I fought to the death against an opponent much stronger than you. If I’m going to give you a hard time now, I might as well bang my head against the wall.”

━… What?

Valdez felt a sense of danger that even his soul would be destroyed.

He gave up his life and transcendence at this moment.

The only thing he did was to bring despair to more people.

Valdez’s fingertips, filled with pure malice, were aimed at the hunter who seemed defenseless against magic.

And he fired a death ray – a death beam.

━Die!!!

Jeee

The Death Line flew at high speed, overheating the atmosphere, and hit something.

It was not a hunter, but the body of some kind of devil.

“Cough… Sister…”

Astarosa, who was hit by a beam of light instead of Garot, was pierced through his chest and blood spurted out from his mouth.

Looking at that, Valdez sneered.

━Stupid bitch. Once a person becomes a devil, he cannot return to being human. To die without even knowing that. Haha—!

Valdes was in a good mood.

Wouldn’t it be a truly great deed if one could kill even one more person right before one’s death?

It was then.

Seuseuseuk-.

The space in front of Valdez seemed to be distorted, and a scary man appeared.

Valdez was a dying soul, but when I met his eyes, I felt like my breath was taken away.

“Valdes, you have more grit than I thought. You go to “Abyss Land.”

Judas held Valdez’s burning soul in his hands

She then went into her her own shadow her her her.

「Abyss Land」.

Valdez, who had often heard legends about the place called hell, was horrified because he knew what would happen if a soul fell there.

━Cha, I’d rather kill you! Ahhh!

Gooooo-!!!

Soon, pitch-black hands emerged from Judas’ shadow and dragged Valdez’s soul into the deep abyss.

That was the end.

No, it’s not over.

“… Uh… Sister…”

Astarosa was bleeding and dying.

A situation where the heart was pierced.

If she were a normal person, she would have died already, but the reason Astarosa was able to survive was because she became a demon with strong vitality.

“Stupid guy. Even if you hadn’t hit me instead, I could have easily avoided it!”

Garot scolded her younger sister.

Still, she desperately blocked the hole in her body with her palm her.

Of course, it was useless.

“I’m sorry, sister… At that time…”

“You idiot, don’t say that. You can still buy it. You have an orb that you received from her saint. If you use it, you can save people! It can heal injuries!”

Astarosa had the jewel of a saint.

According to the original timeline, when Garot was pierced by her demon lord’s attack and suffered a serious injury to her stomach, Astarosa would have used the power of the orb to heal her.

Of course, in this timeline, the fully grown Cecily came and healed Garot, so she didn’t have a chance to use the orb.

Therefore, the orb must still contain enough ‘miraculous’ power to save people.

However, the woman who lived as Asta shook her head.

“Because I am not human… I can’t receive the miracle of healing…”

It was like that.

Astarosa was a demon.

Because she was consumed by evil karma, her divine power of light was actually poison.

Soon Garot shed tears.

“I’m sorry sister. Her older sister was so stubborn about her … If only I was a little stronger … If she protected you from demons then…”

It was the moment when the shell that was tightly wrapped around Garot’s heart was broken.

Dina, living as Asta, was very sad and happy at the reconciliation with her older sister.

Now she thought she could close her eyes in peace.

Of course, that didn’t happen.

Well-.

Judas cut her own wrist with his fingernail her, causing her blood to pour out.

It was unusually black blood.

It touched Astarosa’s wound and healed her wound.

The divine power of light was poison to the demon Astarosa, but the blood of Judas, born from the sacrifice of Nocturne, contained extremely evil karma, and it gave Astarosa new strength.

“… “What, I’m not dead!”

Astarosa shouted.

Not only did Astarosa not die, but her tail her got longer and the horns on her forehead grew like a deer.

No matter how you look at it, it was not an ordinary situation.

“On the contrary, it is full of strength!”

“…”

Garot felt a little embarrassed for crying so hard just now, but it was still good. Garrot now hugged Astarosa.

As Cecily, Naru, and Hina embrace each other.

Sisters were good.

# # # #

“Was it resolved well?”

The children continued to look in the direction where the annex was located with a worried heart.

It’s a shame that Morumoru protected the children, something really big would have happened.

Zek-.

Neva also looked at the anvil in her hand.

Because Anvil Anvil was a powerful being, she was not destroyed by Valdez’s blow, but in the end, she became smaller than Neva’s her palm her her her her.

She was very small and looked very pitiful and pitiful.

━Meow.

But Anvil Anvil twirled on her her Neva’s her palm her her her or rubbed her her own soft body her her her against her her palm her her her her. It was very tickling, but it seemed like Neva would cry rather than laugh.

“…”

Princess Neva has a determined expression as if she has decided on something.

She soon slowly approached Naru.

Cecily and Hina were wary, saying, “What are you doing?” Or “You’re a naughty child.” But Naru instead took a step towards Neva and asked.

“Why?”

“How to increase the size of an anvil… I wanted you to know…”

Nod-.

Neva bowed her head to Naru.

She was extremely embarrassed to have to bow her head to Naru, whom she thought was her archenemy, and who had shown disrespect to her in the first place, but she couldn’t help it.

“I lost…”

Neva eventually admitted her defeat.

It was the first defeat she acknowledged in her life.
