I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 193

193 – Side Story 2. The Story After, Milia (1)

The story after that, Milia (1)

After spending the first night, which wasn’t the first.

The next day, Tina woke up in a sober state, not drunk on passion, and felt an indescribable sense of shame.

Things happened last night that were beyond imagination. She got drunk on dragon’s blood and messed up her hair more than she wanted, but instead, her mind became clearer.

After everything was over, I put my clothes back on, but, well… … .

‘Have I been walking around like this until now?’

It occurred to me later that maybe my clothes were a bit too revealing.

Since she values ​​activity, it was natural for her to wear clothes that were comfortable to move in, but when she thought about Jim’s touch last night, she felt her exposed body parts getting hotter.

That’s why Tina folded her wings and hid her entire body.

There was a moment when I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her looking like she was covered in a blanket.

Jim looked Tina in the eye with a relatively serious expression and said.

“Tina.”

“Huh? Uh, uh, yeah. Why?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to slowly return to the Demon King’s Castle?”

“That, that’s right?”

They take it for granted that they will return home, as if they had completely forgotten that they were locked up.

That was normal and expected. Tina had just been acting strangely, drunk on desire.

Jim nodded in satisfaction, once again remembering that Tina was the conscience of the warrior party.

A soft atmosphere spreading gently. It finally felt like the two of them had become a couple, not just friends. Yes, this moment when their hearts connected.

Pot!

“Uh… …? Jim? Where did you go?”

The luggage disappeared right before Tina’s eyes.

***

The view changed in an instant.

From an underground cave where soft light streamed in, to an unidentified laboratory where soft light spreads out.

Did I lose my mind?

In the meantime, did someone kidnap me again?

No, that can’t be true.

I was clearly awake and talking to Tina normally. Moreover, if I had fainted, there was no way I was healthy.

But now, I was still in the same physical state as when I had talked to Tina, and the cool sensation of sitting on the cold cave floor still remained.

And if I had been kidnapped, there’s no way Tina would have stayed still.

So what is this?

How should I accept this situation now? No, there is a force that makes this situation possible.

“No, but that’s… … .”

The first thing that came to mind was the power I had accumulated during my time as an ascetic, the power of a celestial being that could transcend space.

But that’s nonsense.

The power of the gods has already disappeared and has melted into this land, changing the world.

Even though I erased the fleeting thought from my mind, the anxiety that ran through my back still lingers.

“load.”

Because I vaguely understand where that anxiety comes from.

So I couldn’t turn around even when I heard a voice behind me.

It was a familiar voice.

Surely I should not be able to recognize the voice of the woman I love?

“I finally found it.”

An overwhelming presence that reaches behind your back.

The corners of my mouth loosened for a moment at that cozy feeling, but the moment I thought of the owner of that presence, my breath was taken away.

One who twists the laws of this world.

Seekers who dare to challenge the power of God in human form.

Wizard.

“You missed me, right?”

Milia Asrin.

***

There is something called impression.

No matter how impartial you try to treat people, you can’t help but interpret the same behavior differently depending on their personality.

There may be a first impression, and it may be a judgment based on past experiences.

Here’s an example:

Jim thought Esmeralda was a hero and the most dangerous of them all, but he also thought she had character.

That is why there were many cases where she judged that she would not kill the remnants of the Demon King’s army.

In that sense, Tina is a person who shows absolute trust.

Even though she went berserk this time, Jim still trusts Tina.

I will continue to believe in you.

There is no malice in her actions, only misunderstanding.

That’s why I was able to persuade him so well this time too.

… … Then what about Milia?

In a way, I have absolute faith in Milia.

Yes, the belief that I should never be left alone with her.

“Milia.”

“Yeah, Jim.”

Milia, who had been hugging Jim from behind, fell to her knees at Jim’s call, took a step back, and raised her head.

Jim then turned around and carefully asked, observing Milia’s expression as she looked up at him with a blank expression.

“What the heck is going on? How, how did I get here?”

“Umm… … .”

How on earth did he do it? How did he get himself here?

Although it is similar to the power of a god, Millia is still a magician. Rather than using the power of a god, she must have chosen a method that shakes up the world’s principles.

However, as far as Jim remembers, there is no such thing as magic that can summon someone to your position.

‘I know you’ve been using space magic, but… … .’

I know that Millia learned spatial magic. When Jim worked as a porter in the past, he complained that his luggage was too heavy, so she learned it all of a sudden.

Spatial magic is difficult to learn and handle.

It is difficult to judge because there are so few known uses for it… … .

‘To invite others into your presence, rather than yourself… … .’

Is that even possible?

Magic basically revolves around you. The reason why spatial magic is difficult is because you have to forcefully connect the space you are currently in with another random space.

In the case of subspace magic, it is better to create a space that does not exist.

To jump through space, you must also understand the space you want to go to.

So it’s difficult, and even before conquering the Demon King’s Castle, Millia couldn’t handle the magic of teleportation.

Even if he had learned the magic of teleportation in the meantime, how did he figure out where the luggage was?

“I summoned the luggage by mixing curse magic with space magic.”

“A curse?”

“huh.”

“What kind of curse?”

“like this.”

Millia placed a rag doll on Jim’s hand.

It was the most common form of curse doll that came to mind when thinking of a curse.

“I used Jim’s hair here to target and bring Jim back when I used spatial magic.”

It was a creepy story. The fact that Millia uses curse magic?

No, it was the fact that she had a lock of Jim’s hair in her possession.

Why on earth? For what purpose? Jim tried to maintain his composure, pretending not to notice the cold sweat running down his back.

Because I realized from past experience how Millia would react that it could be dangerous to say something careless in a situation like this.

“load.”

“yes?”

“Have you been kidnapped?”

“yes?”

Not an escape?

Jim swallowed the words that were about to burst out and waited for Milia to speak.

“If he had run away, how could I not have found him? It must have been someone cunning and terrible who had kidnapped and held him captive.”

“Rain, similar.”

I was kidnapped.

He was also arrested.

Tina did it, and Garnet did it.

Of course, I ran away, but I didn’t ask about that part, so there’s nothing to feel bad about.

Anyway, if Milia also thinks she’s been kidnapped, things might work out well.

Jim swallowed hard and prepared to convince Millia.

but…….

Phagec!

“uh…….”

Jim, who was reaching out to Millia, couldn’t help but jump back as sparks flew as if something invisible was blocking him.

With that spark, the area blocking him was suddenly revealed in the darkness, and he could see a magic circle of the same color as that spark shining beneath his feet.

“Why? You don’t want to leave here, do you? You like being with me. I can do whatever you want.”

“… … .”

From noble mtl dot nete

Jim, who was watching the magic circle slowly losing its light again, could not raise his head and could only remain silent.

Now that I think about it, Millia didn’t say a word about being summoned to save Jim.

No, if he was just trying to save Jim in the first place, there would be no reason to summon him in such a dark and confined place.

Yes, Millia Asrin.

“You don’t have to be afraid anymore. You don’t have to bear the weight of a crown that doesn’t suit you. Just live here happily with me.”

she is…….

“I’ll take care of everything else. Let’s just be happy.”

I just wanted to lock up the luggage more firmly than anyone else.

Jim raised his head.

And before the magic circle that was supposed to imprison him completely lost its light, he was able to see Millia’s face.

“I just found out.”

Behind Milia, who was looking at him with an expressionless face and holding a cane.

“In the first place, if you lock me in a place where only I can see it, there’s no need to be anxious.”

The black tentacles were writhing.

“You are mine now.”
