Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

But the highest priority right now is not this matter, but the remaining magician.

Shuul developed a strong "interest" in Kolis's "magic" that could resurrect the recently dead.

......

A few minutes later.

There was a violent explosion in the forest.

Smoke and dust rose up, and a huge crater suddenly appeared on the grass in the forest. It was the terrain caused by the explosion just now.

Xiuer stood at the edge of the pit, and opposite him stood a girl with a big orange braid on her head.

The explosion just now was not caused by Xuer, so the answer is obvious, it came from the girl opposite.

And Xiuer happened to know this visitor.

"[Question] Volame, why are you here?"

In fact, Xiuer had already located Volame based on the bracelet device on her hand at night, and also found out her movement trajectory - she was heading straight for him.

Then how did Volame know the coordinates of Shul?

Of course, it comes from the device on his wrist, which is specially made by Xiuer and has most of the auxiliary functions. Of course, it also has a positioning function. The bracelet's database contains his personal coordinates specially left by Xiuer.

"Well, I think you should understand, Sister Xiuer, right?"

Seeing that Xiuer did not show any "surprise", Volame was not surprised, because her impression of Xiuer was just like that, a person with very stable emotions.

Several years have passed since the girl's home was saved.

Women's bodies grow earlier than men's. The short little girl back then has now grown into a graceful lady. Well, it seems that the word "lady" does not apply to Volame.

Looking at the other person with her hands on her hips, looking very proud and confident, and the big hole in front of her that she had made with her own hands, she didn't look like a "lady" at all.

"..."

In response to this, Xuer did not reply immediately, but instead probed the pit again, and finally confirmed that the demon magician whom he deliberately left to the end was dead.

"Don't worry, I won't hold back against the demons. After all, you once taught me that against the demons I should just use all my strength, right?"

Volame was very proud of his actions in dealing with the demons, and had no idea that his actions had ruined Shuul's original plan.

Although his plan was disrupted by an acquaintance, Xuel did not complain. After all, he had collected enough data on the magician's "restoration magic" from Belisar before.

The reason for leaving the opponent to the end is just to force out more magic.

Being killed by Volame is fine, but for Xuer, it doesn't matter.

And based on the memories he had obtained from the three warrior demons, it was enough for him to construct a roughly clear "storyline".

These guys were most likely sent by Shulahat to die on purpose.

The disobedient subordinates were sent to die and eliminated, and Xiuer was the "knife" borrowed to kill people.

It's really strange. Why does Shulahat have the courage to plot against me?

In this regard, due to the lack of key intelligence, Xuer was unable to accurately deduce a specific answer and could only rely on "guessing".

Could it be that the other party has some magic that can counter my own?

Regarding this, Xuer had no idea.

And because of Volame's arrival, he will not worry about possible problems in this regard for the time being.

"[Suspicious] Do you want to join the traveling group?"

After much thought, this is the only reason that is most likely.

"uh-huh."

It seems that he was right.

"So, is that okay?"

As if to increase the probability of Shul agreeing, Volame winked playfully, adding a bit of "cuteness" to her.

She is still the same little girl from that year.

Volame in the original novel has such a personality. Now the person in front of Xuer is an individual who has not had that tragic experience, which makes her heart more innocent and more "cheerful" than the original novel.

His hostility towards the demons comes only from his parents and Shuul's education.

Xiuer does not comment on whether this is good or bad, and he does not regret what he has done.

In the face of Volame's request, he certainly had the right to refuse, but in the end, the "human nature" in his heart made him make another choice.

"[Application approved] Volame, you have become a 'companion'."

"Okay~"

......

----

......

After a day of "torture", Takson got a chance to breathe from "Xuer"'s hands. He instantly relaxed his whole body and lay on the virtual grass in a very sloppy posture.

He was covered in blood one second, and looked brand new the next.

This is the benefit of the battle field, which allows Takson to stay in the best condition anytime and anywhere.

However, the physical exhaustion has recovered, but the mental fatigue is not within the recovery range, which also shows that the training in the battlefield is not continuous.

There will still be time for Takson to "rest".

"what......"

Takson lay on the ground, calmly gazing at the virtual stars in the sky.

He had recovered from his physical fatigue long ago, and now he was just relaxing his mind.

We have been training in this battlefield for a long time. Judging from the fact that the environment inside the battlefield is synchronized with the outside world in real time, it should be night now.

Takson, who was on the scene, could not learn the news from the outside world on his own. Everything was transmitted by Xiuer.

He looked at "Xuer" standing in the center of the field. During the beatings he received that day, he once again deeply realized the gap between his teacher and himself.

"[Reminder] Takson, your mental state has reached the stage of 'extreme exhaustion'. Rest is necessary for you now."

A clone of Shuul, different from the "Shuul" in the center of the field, appeared beside him.

"Yeah, it's time to get some sleep."

"Hello, teacher..." Takson used the communication device placed in his ear to establish communication with Xiuer.

The communication was not connected, and the moment he made the call, a "door" opened in front of him.

Similar communications between the two have always been like this. Since Takson has always been by Xiuer's side, this means of long-distance communication can only be regarded as a way to inform Xiuer.

When he walked out of the "door", the first thing Takson saw was an extra figure.

The orange-haired woman immediately brought back memories from a few years ago.

"when did you come?"

There were no violent emotions, but the words were filled with suspicion about the third party.

"Oh? Brother Tuxen, you still remember me."

When Volame heard the other party's question, the smile on his face became even wider.

"Of course I remember. Your name is Volame, isn't it?"

"That's right. It seems I have left a deep impression on you."

It's more than shallow...

Takson underestimated it in his heart. It was because of Volame that he had a misunderstanding with his sister Xiuer.

"So you suddenly appear here now, are you thinking...?"

Takson's expression was somewhat funny. He looked at Xiuer, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and his tone was full of confusion.

"[Notice] Volame has joined the team and is now a companion. Please be friendly to your companions, Takson."

"Ok."

The matter is clear. Since Xuul has agreed to Volame's joining, Takson will not have any objection.

After all, he didn't hate Volame, he just felt a little lost when he thought that he and Xuer would no longer be alone on the next journey.

However, although he was very unhappy, after all, the other party was a younger sister than him, so Takson would naturally treat this new companion kindly.

"Then welcome the newcomer. I hope we can get along well in the future, Volame."

As the most mature-looking person on the team, Tuckson took the lead in showing kindness.

"Well, please give me your guidance, Brother Tuckson and Sister Xiuer."

Xiuer nodded in response.

And Tucson also showed a sunny smile.

There was no joining ceremony. It was just the same as usual, as ordinary as the greeting between the older brother and the younger sister next door.

In this way, Volame joined Shul's team.

After this little episode of teammates joining in, Xiuer immediately made plans for the next trip.

"Demon King's Castle, Sister Shuul, why are you going there?"

After hearing Xiuer's plan, Volame immediately asked the doubts in his mind.

Because she knew that Xiuer was very powerful, she was curious about the purpose of Xiuer's trip.

Unlike the curious Volame, Takson, who had never objected to Xiuer's decision, did not say anything. Anyway, he was satisfied as long as he could stay by Xiuer's side.

"【Answer】The purpose of this trip is just to confirm one thing."

"one thing?"

"[Affirmation] To verify a hypothetical conclusion."

"Sister Xiuer, you are still like this. You like to say things that are hard to understand."

After hearing Volame's words, Takson, who had been silent, continued:

"That's just because you don't have much contact with the teacher."

"Then can you understand, Brother Tuxen?"

"Well, I can roughly understand..."

Takson scratched his face guiltily, because he couldn't guarantee that he really understood the words the teacher said. He always understood them by using his own substitute words.

However, as a disciple of Xiuer and a senior of Volame, he naturally wants to maintain the momentum of his senior.

"Eh?"

It seems that the atmosphere in the coming days will be more lively than usual.

Seeing the two disciples getting along with each other, this idea came to Xiuer's mind.

......

Chapter 53: Conspiracy?

"So, this time, Teacher, you want to find a demon named Shulahart?"

"【affim】"

Takson didn't know why Xuer had to travel all the way to the Demon King's City to find a demon named Shulahat, but since the teacher wanted to find the other party, it must be that the other party overestimated his own abilities and provoked the teacher first.

Someone who knew his teacher's character well immediately came up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise Xuel would not have run so far to kill someone.

As for whether it is true or not, Takson doesn't care.

Although Volame fully agreed with killing the demons, she was still quite curious about why Xuel specifically went to find a demon.

"Sister Xiuer, have you seen this demon?"

Xiuer glanced at the girl beside him, then at the young man behind him.

Unlike the apprentice who had already convinced himself, Volame's eyes were full of curiosity.
