The Witch Of Ruin's: The Precious Person In My Life (The Witch of Destruction)

Special 3: Getting Lost in Hirotsuki

The next morning we continued on our way back to the capital, Hirotsuki.

We set out early in the morning before the sun was shining, the merchant's uncle said that early in the morning it was a very suitable time to leave because we would not queue for the chek point.

Hirotsuki is a mountain town that is guarded directly by a natural fortress in the form of a canyon that is quite steep and also a wide river.

The merchant uncle also said that we should be careful of certain people, as hirotsuki was a gathering place for samurai from all over Takagawa. So avoiding is a very good thing.

We had to part with the merchant uncle midway as he was going to head to where his partner was, whereas we were going straight to the king's palace.

But the main problem is............

“ Shit........I got lost again!! Shin-senpai and kisui-san have they arrived first to the king's palace!? “ (Rey )

(Because of not paying too much attention to the road, Rey so often lost when he walked alone in the crowd.it can be said that this is the second time he lost besides the Gransillia incident).

I was separated from them before because I was carried into the company of people. But who would have thought that I was lost again.

I thought about what onee-chan said before. If he knew I would get lost again maybe he would punish me with an amphibious crowd!!! It's gruesome......

(Rey has an exaggerated sense of phobia to amphibians such as frog relatives and also Salamander ).

...‘ What is clear is that I must immediately head to the king's palace quickly ‘ ...

I kept walking down a busy street in the middle of the city, a lot of people were passing me by which made me confused!? 

Added because there are many roads that make me so do not know which way to go!!!?

“ Wait.......Wait.......Wait!!! “ 

“ huh!? “ 

The loud scream of a man was heading towards me.

“ !!! “ suddenly just a child running towards me and hiding behind me.

“ Brother Please save me......... that person wants to do evil to me!!! “ said a boy with a chonmage hairstyle to me.

“ Uh!? Whataaa!!! “ (Rey ).

Suddenly there was a big man emerging from the crowd, he paled in front of me with a slight gasp.

“ Young man..... Can you hand the brat over to me!!! Hah hah hah hah “ said the big-bodied uncle to me.

“ Brother don't listen........ that person wants to do evil to me!!! “ Said the boy behind me.

“ do not listen to him..... the boy is good at lying “ said the uncle again.

I don't understand what's really going on but I know what to act like.

With initiative I also began to hold the boy behind me tightly and began to run away from the big-bodied uncle.

“ shttt “ “ Air Magic: Wind Levitationon “ by running fast enough towards a corner. I started to activate the aerial footing magic to jump to higher ground.

I kept running on the roof while carrying the boy. From a distance the uncle who stood up to us seemed to still continue searching here and there while shouting something.

“ Young Masteraaaa!!!!!! “ the uncle's screams from a distance.

[In place of Shinjou and Kisui ] 

Shinjou and Kisui had arrived near the King's palace, they had managed to meet Kisui's grandfather Irumoto who was currently in the palace's kitchen.

“ How could that annoying Kohai get lost in a time like this!? “ (Shinjou )

“ do not complain much shin-kun..... we must quickly find Rei-kun, Mainna-dono said if he easily lost “ (Kisui )

Shinjou and Kisui simultaneously continue to search for Rey's whereabouts in the city center. Shinjou continued to nag because his insolent cohorts could get lost in a time like this.

“ Is it a child!? “ (Shijou ).

Shinjou continues to equate rey with ‘ little children ‘ because he argues that only a child can get lost when they are gathered together.

Regardless of this, they continue to search for Rey at some point in the city center. But they still have not found any trace of his whereabouts.

The two of them continue to search for rey's whereabouts elsewhere, hoping that rey can be found by them. 

“ huh!? “ 

Until one day they saw a big-bodied uncle who also seemed to be looking for someone.

The uncle looked so anxious with a lot of sweat pouring down his face.

“ Ano~paman!? What is uncle looking for? “ said kisui started greeting the uncle.

“ I'm looking for someone......... if I can't find him!? Then your majesty will behead me!!!! “ said the uncle with an anxious expression.

“ Uh!? Waita minute! Your majesty!? That means!!!! “ (Kisui ).

After meeting the uncle, Kisui and shinjou were seen being impressed by what the uncle said. The uncle mentioned something about the noble which meant that the uncle was a bodyguard of the King.

Prihain with the uncle, Kisui and shinjou ask more questions about the situation.

The uncle explained that ‘ His young master or prince of takagawa country ditched his private lessons and wandered around the city without an escort ‘. He had actually managed to find the prince, but the prince instead ran away from him and got the uncle into trouble.

The young prince also called himself a bad person in a crowd of people, and caused misunderstandings in people around.

“ I understand uncle...... in other words , the prince who ran away made uncle a trouble for now “ (Kisui )

Kisui understood the siatuasi experienced by the uncle.

“ True........ The young master was indeed quite naughty, whereas before he was a pretty good boy, he became quite determined and good at lying on the grounds of wanting to become a hunter oni “ said the uncle.

Kisui and shinjou seemed to understand what was happening, in other words. Information about the failure of the recent oni attack in the village of Fukuo caused the young prince to want to become a hunter oni.

And also the information that mentions about the emergence of ryuuzuhide recently made the prince so excited about it. The information should have been kept sufficiently strong that no one but the oni hunters and kings would have known about it.

But because a negligent oni hunter made the information leak and reached the ears of everyone in the palace.

Coincidentally the uncle said that, the young prince was very fond of the stories about Ryuuzuhide the first oni hunter and was very crazy about the figure of himself.

“ yosh....... Alright, if uncle does not mind... we will both also help uncle find young Prince ” (Kisui ).

Kisui, who saw the uncle with enough sympathy, offered to help him find the prince who had run away.

“ Be-really!!? “ “ Thank you very much for your help miss “ said the uncle looks relieved.

“ It's okay uncle.... we also happen to be looking for someone, we can help each other to find him “ (Kisui )

“ Uh!? Wait a minute, Kisui.... shouldn't we be looking for Rei-kun !!! nor are we looking for something completely different!!! “ (Shinjou )

“ Doesn't It doesn't matter Shin-kun.... I'm sure we can find him too, after all my essence said it!! “ “ and also if the prince disappeared suddenly then this country will definitely be chaotic no!! Let's find them “ (Kisui )

“ Uh!? I won't say if you're cracking your weird instincts!! “ (Shinjou )

Shinjou had criticized Kisui for entrusting his strange instinct, but he also confirmed that the prince of this country had disappeared!  It will cause a stir.

They were all finally together to search for the person they were looking for even though what they were looking for was a different thing!!!
