The Forgotten Creator's
From Village to Village

Upon arrival at Lapang Village, we were greeted by one of the residents there—the same people we met on the road before. "How about the young?"

We just looked down, ashamed to admit what we did that made others angry and hurt. But it looks like Artex is ready to accept ridicule from the citizens here. "After we got there, we realized that the witch there had been manipulated by her brain, and we didn't have time to help them. We even killed them."

"Oh, so yeah." This father responded to Artex's statement with his smile, not with anger or resentment. "So, what's going on there?"

Seeing his response, we were very surprised. "Ehh?! How can your reaction be so calm? Though I have openly confessed to the act of murder!" artex.

"Not happy or anything. It's just that I can't be mad at you for the reckless actions you've taken. I just came here about two weeks ago. I was invited by my son to stay here."

"Oh.... I was ready to accept the reality. I thought I'd be judged by the citizens."

"Not to worry. As long as you don't disclose this information to them then there will be no problem. Remember to always be optimistic if you make a mistake. Never complicate the mistakes you have made."

"Ahh,. okay."

Right now we are contemplating wrongdoing even though we know we will commit more murders.

"Then I go first. Take good care of yourself. See you soon." The father quickly moved away.

We could only study his words while leaving the village feeling guilty.

...~Π~...

After arriving in the city—the place that had been planned to meet, we saw Virie and Nena were laughing cheerfully. We approached him and asked him what they were laughing about.

"Ah, Den apparently. We were just talking about the book we were reading, look at the rabbit's behavior so funny." Virie Vocabulary.

I just smiled and ignored him.

"By the way, where did you end up? Why are your clothes so dirty?"

"ah! I was out for a walk and accidentally fell." I'm trying to dodge.

"Oh, so yeah."

Nena replied, "Master, can we eat now?"

"Sst shh shh.." I covered her mouth with my index finger, "how many times have I told you not to call me by the word 'Master."

"Hmm? Then what should I call you?"

Virie immediately whispered to Nena afterwards. Nena nodded. "Then, Papa, can we eat now?!" said Nena cheerfully.

The more upset I was made. "Other than that! Please just pick up my name! Or better to add the word 'brother' to make it more formal."

"But Mom told me so."

"Who else is that 'Mother?! If you want to call Papa, just tell Artex."

Artex looks at me cynically. "I don't want to keep hearing your complaints. I want to clean my body immediately."

"Then I'll rent a room for us." Sahut Virie's.

"No need. Just stay at my house. It costs too much to stay at the inn once." Artex Reply.

"All right." Virie agrees.

...~Π~...

Upon arrival at Artex's house, we were both quick to clean our bodies that had been bathed in blood. I also forgot to wash my clothes.

Virie and Nena are cooking in the kitchen for dinner. The noise of a frying pan that was colliding with the spatula enlivened the atmosphere of the house.

After taking a shower, we were treated to some dishes that had been prepared by Virie. We are happy to have them together.

...~Π~...

The next day Virie and I left the house of Artex. Inevitably Nena also had to walk, there was no reason for Artex to take care of her.

Even so he volunteered to come with us on the grounds of continuing his journey in search of someone he was looking for. I am happy to invite him to come with us.

Finally we went to the next village to continue the purpose of our journey. We walked through Lapang Village and had a chance to meet with the fathers yesterday.

"Where are you going now, young man?" ask the father.

"We are currently traveling. We rested first and today we intend to continue." My answer.

"Do you want to find something problematic again?"

"Of course not. We just happen to know that information from someone."

Virie says, "Did you do anything yesterday?"

"Something? We're just helping this father catch an eel in his field." Although it doesn't seem realistic, at least I can think of an excuse.

"Yes, I was greatly helped by both of them," the father responded once "if there were no one where I might be able to finish it in a day."

I'm really grateful to you, sir. My respect in my heart.

"Good then," Virie seemed happy "I thought you were putting yourself in danger again."

"Just calm. Even if she's putting herself in danger, someone's gonna help her." Looks like he gave us advice—no, maybe reminding us to help each other. "Then, be careful on the road."

We continue our journey. We passed through the abandoned forest that we entered yesterday. In order not to arouse suspicion, I acted unconcerned about the forest.

After walking for quite a while, Virie directed us to enter the forest. The atmosphere was so beautiful, filled with colorful flowers. The sky is illuminated by blue light making the atmosphere cooler.

"Oh, so blue!" that was my first response to the forest.

"Beautiful!" looks like Nena likes it.

Virie replies "They use the power of Sapphire to change the color of the incoming light."

"That rare sapphire huh?" Artex.

"I don't know what the Sapphires are, but the water spirits always have their stash. I don't know where they're looking for him."

"What is Sapphire for?" my many.

"Sort of," replied Artex "usually I use it to concoct potions. But all the experiments I've done have always ended up failing."

"It's so sorry."

"Just calm. I always mix it into gold coins for my needs."

"That's the name for sale!"

Artex laughed.

"By the way, how much longer are we gonna be?" I asked Virie.

"We just got in here. The village of Arvi is still a few hundred meters ahead." replied Virie.

Hearing him, I immediately turned my head back and right, the white light from outside was still visible even though it was small. Perhaps because I rarely went outside other than school, I felt as if walking anywhere seemed far away even though it was just to the supermarket.

Now I keep my mouth shut so that my anxiety does not make the journey longer. It didn't feel like fifteen minutes later we finally got to our destination. Wait, that feels so much to me!

"Bring us before the King!" virie told one of the village guards.

"Well, Princess Virie!" guards too.

We walked into the place where the king was guided by the village guards.

After arriving, the guard told us to be quiet before entering. He went inside and after getting an order he directed us to come in.

I saw a lot of aquariums on the sides of the room. I assume if they are a fish collector to display aquariums of different sizes.

"Just tell me what your purpose is to come here." King Saying.

"Thank you for your attention." Reply Virie. "But, can I tell you a story before I give my main purpose?"

"Please."

Virie began to tell me again about the previous Demon King. "With this, I as a representative of Urias Village invite Arvi Village to ally."

"Let me postpone your offer. I still have doubts about the threat from the man you call the Demon King about the war. Not that it means to be arrogant, but my forest has been protected with a high-level magic barrier. Not even three kingdoms would be able to break through the barrier."

"I'm afraid you'll say that. But it's not just the magic they use, the armed forces they deploy to overcome this."

"Then I will send my army to defeat them."

"I doubt their level of strength. Not to mention that he had not only deployed one soldier, even a hundred dared to he muster just to crush a single village."

Isn't he overreacting? Even I've only found at most three enemies at a time. Well, even though Zack fought a lot of bull demons with my robot gundam.

As they chatted, I planned to take Artex out of the room. But when I turned to look at him, he had already disappeared from his chair. I wanted to ask her whereabouts to the guard who had been standing near us, but she also disappeared.

"Excuse me, let me out for a second." My speech.

The man who had been chatting with Virie had immediately cut off his conversation. "Who are you?!"

Uh, is that right? I've been sitting here for a few minutes and you haven't noticed?

Virie tried to explain "I apologize for my indecency. This person was the main figure in the formation of this ally. He was instrumental in the ambush on the front troops."

"What does that mean?"

"It can be said that he is a legendary hero who played an important role in saving our world."

I interrupted Virie's words "Please don't hesitate to call me, I'm just an ordinary person who happens to be hit by a disaster."

"I'm sorry then. I don't know how great you were until you were glorified by the Princess." Said the king.

"Yes, it's okay. By the way, I want to go outside for a while. There's something I want to do."

"Please."

...~Π~...

I'm walking around looking for Artex. So many twists, I was exhausted. Is this a tree or a castle? So broad! I wanted to use a skateboard, but I remember not to be too flashy. Even though I can't use it either.

After walking and walking, I finally found him. But he seemed to be covering something up his shirt. "Oi, Artex! Where have you been?"

"Oh, Den. I've been kidnapped by a crazy woman."

"Crazy woman?"

"Yes, he's a very dangerous man to me. I can barely fight it."

"What are you doing there?"

"I just kept quiet because I was tied up. But while tied up, he chanted a spell I had never heard of at all."

"Wuoh, is she a witch? But wouldn't it be good if you found a clue to your curse?"

"The thing is I've never heard of such a spell."

"Huh? What's it like?"

"I don't know how much I remember. It's obvious he said the word 'like'."

"'Like'? What kind of spell is that? Uh, but I've never heard a single spell so I don't know either."

"Eitherway. Because I don't understand I just decided to cut the rope with a knife in my stomach and then run here."

I muttered, "Asuka Inai? Kamani asu? Karambit Hasu?"

In between our silences, suddenly an unknown voice appeared from behind. "Wait, Mr. Artex!"

"Damn it, now he's the one who's coming directly." Artex.

In my heart I said, Eh? A girl like this she said crazy? Even the president would marry her if he saw her. But I forgot whose president.
