Endless Memoir by Seraph Wedd (7 ebook reader txt) 📕

She was also the only one who wholeheartedly supported my plan on fighting as an Oracle.

“Aneue, it has been so long.”

“Ahh. You really have grown up. The last time I saw you was three years ago right? Time sure flies.”

She said while giving her sweetest smile. I slowly parted from the hug after some time and then properly greeted her on her safe return.

“Welcome back, aneue. I’m glad that you returned safely from your mission.”

“Ahh. I’m back. But as soon as I got back, I heard that you are leaving. Looks like we won’t be meeting anymore after that too. This may be the will of the Gods telling me to be independent at long last.”

She smiled bitterly after saying so. I felt my chest tightening after seeing her lonely expression. Thinking back, just as I treated her as my only ally, she too treated me as her only sister, her only sibling, and pampered me as much as she can.

Honestly, parting from aneue was the hardest part of my decision to act as an oracle. If I could just request for her to be my guard too, then I would gladly do so. But as the captain of the order, she cannot leave her duties that easily. That’s why she can’t come with me.

As we won’t be seeing each other for a long time, we chatted to our heart’s content. During the chat, the topic suddenly shifted after I said the name of the village I was told to go through the oracle of the Gods.

“Mujyara? The one at the south end? I hear it was attacked by demons last week but they managed to defend it successfully. The request for additional sentry for guarding the border reached me too.”

“It was attacked…? How many demons managed to slip past the barrier?”

This is the first time I heard about this. But still, the barrier of the village should still be functioning perfectly…

“Based on the reports, there are 10,000 demons that attacked. Majority of them were just low class demons but there were quite a few middle class demons mixed in too.”

… That’s quite a large army even for demons. Still 10,000? And they still managed to defend the village despite that? If I recall, the population of the village ranges around 500 so they managed to fight an enemy 20 times their number?

“The report also mentioned that the defense of the village was mostly done by four villagers. If I recall correctly, they are 2 girls, 1 woman, and 1 boy. The boy was also the hot topic here at the capital as the latest demon hunter. I think his name is…”

“Nazo… Right?”

“Ahh. That’s right. He was the one who claimed to have dealt with the Elder Treant alone. A man equaling an army. But apparently, he isn’t a Hero… But still, it’s quite rare for you to be this informed.”

I chucked upon seeing aneue’s surprised face. Then, with a slightly impish smile, I told her one thing that I haven’t told to anyone as of yet.

“Actually, the particular man that was mentioned within the oracle I received… Was that man named Nazo.”

I turned my head towards the window, staring at the far end of the blue sky. Smiling towards the future that was yet to come.

However, I didn’t know. That in the far off future, our paths would cross each other through means that I didn’t expect.

It was 13 days then before the fateful event that would lock the future of Nazo and his party.
