Chapter 109: In My Life

Things went faster than YN had anticipated.

Subaru went along with Wilhelm to inform Ram and Emilia about the letter. After that, they immediately crushed the Witch Cult's intelligence network.

With the destruction of their backup plans, and the seizure of their means of communication, a set of "conversation mirrors," a real and actual pair of metia, were recovered. YN and Subaru alike had been thoroughly surprised by just how much they functioned like video phones.

But from there, the two split.

Participating in a handful of splinter groups to thwart and dispose of the Fingers before they had a chance to become a vessel for Petelgeuse, YN with a few members of the Iron Fang were making quick work of it.

Ultimately, all was going well.

Ricardo: Whoa there bro! Thanks! That one almost did me in!

Having utilized Algol's acute mana control, the Yang magic YN was using let him deliver a powerful open palm strike to a remaining robed adversary. Nearly getting the drop on the wolf-like demi-human with a dagger to the back, the Witch Cultist had been launched into the trunk of a nearby tree.

His outstretched arm still having a haze of heat rise from it, YN felt his mana ramp back down. Exhaling an equally hot breath, he regained his composure.

YN: Are you alright?

Ricardo: That's something you should ask that fella over there.

Using his thumb to point back to the Witch Cultist that was slumped over, Ricardo gave his honest observation on the last strike.

Ricardo: You really can pack a wallop when ya want, huh? 'Would have been real interestin' to see you give the White Whale a punch like that.

Between the bouts with various cells and Fingers, YN had asked about how the fight with the White Whale unfolded, and in truth, he wasn't so sure how effective he could have been.

If I had gone, Algol would have never been revealed to me, meaning my combat usage would have been just as good as bait, just as Subaru had been.

Letting his thoughts mull away as the Witch Cult adversaries, now fallen, were being looted, YN heard the familiar sound again.

*ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum.*

Halfway expecting another sudden entity to cross his vision like what seemed to occur every time this new sound only he heard went off, nothing happened this time.

*ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum.*

Faint, it seemed to be coming from a nearby bush.

YN: Huh.

Walking over, Ricardo eyed YN's fascination with the brush as he walked over to it. Hand held out, he pushed a few branches out of the way to a familiar sight.

???: HMMM! HMMM!!!

A young man had been tied up to a pole, bound by his feet and hands and was gagged. Wearing a green tunic, a burlap bag was also stuck over his head.

Removing the sack from his head, YN was reintroduced to a familiar face.

Otto(heavily muffled): YN-san!

Quickly untying the gag, YN set the merchant's voice free.

Otto: Oh thank goodness!! I'm free!

Ricardo: Whoa what's going on over here!?
