She Professed Herself The Pupil of The Wisemen

V1 ch18

After arriving at the objective, Mira looked around the flower field with surprise.

"What is this?"

She muttered while looking beneath her feet. The flowers there bloomed with strength.

"I wonder as well."

Galet was also surprised at the same sight of the flower field. It was just yesterday that monsters have roughened the place. The outer part of the flower field should have been stomped all over and stained with splattered blood. However, no matter how one looked there, were no absolutely no signs of that, and all that spread in there was a scenery of vivid colors.

"What is it? Is there a problem?"

Reinard who wasn't there yesterday, stared at the beautifully and proudly blooming flowers examining them, and asked.

"Yes, although rather than it being a problem, it is something mysterious. The herd that appeared yesterday had been fighting each other on this field yesterday. And back then, this flower field looked like a battlefield, roughened horribly and covered with monsters' blood. And what was enigmatic, was that this applied only to the outer ring, but——"

In the middle of explaining, Galet paused for a moment, returning his gaze towards the flower field.

"As you can see, there is no sight it has been roughened or even leftover blood."

As far as they could see, the flowers swayed on the wind like a pure maiden, rustling quietly. It was hard to imagine that in a place like this, just yesterday, there were several hundred monsters killing one another.

"I see..."

"Certainly, that is mysterious."

Reinard and Joachim took a look around at the flower field and muttered. Mira too, following their lead took a look around.

And after confirming that there were no defects on the field, Mira felt something was off and her sight stopped. On the large white pillar shooting into the sky, in comparison to its upper part, the bottom was dyed in black like a piece of paper dyed in black ink. Mira put her attention to that part, but considering she did not confirm how it looked before, her memory of it was ambiguous. The discomfort she had when seeing it was so slight, that if someone told her it was like that right from the start, she would believe it.

"Mira-sama, did something happen?"

Noticing that Mira furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at one point, Galet called out to her. Hearing his voice, she ceased her focus and looked away from the white pillar.

"It might be my imagination, but I feel like that pillar turned blacker."

"The pillar?"

When Mira muttered almost to herself, Galet heard those words and squinted as if to look far away, confirming the middle of the flower field.

"Now that you say it, I feel like that is the case...but the noxiously-looking field left too strong an impression so I can't remember it well."

"Right? I don't remember well how it looked yesterday. Mm, I can't tell whether it changed or not."

Losing the intent to recall how it was, Mira just looked up at the highly towering pillar as she said.

"It appears this place is safe, but I wonder where the monsters are."

Reinard who had no interest in the flower field itself, vigilantly stared at the forest around them to look for the herd of monsters. However, there was no signs of them, there was only wind shaking the quietly-rustling branches and leaves.
