Seizing the opportunity, Roxy turned to Kishirika, half-crouching down and asking with utmost respect, "Your Majesty! May I ask you another question?"
Ask away, ask away!
Kishirika patted her chest and assured them.
"Your Majesty, where is my disciple, Rog Greyrat, now?"
You mean this?
"Wait a moment!"
"As for Luo Ge, Luo Ge is..."
Kishirika continued to observe carefully with her magic eye, and after a while, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Oh, we've found Luo Ge!"
Kishirika burst into laughter, as if she had seen something amusing. "Hahaha... This guy is just sitting in the tavern all by himself, spacing out. Did he have an upset stomach last night?"
"He's in Krasma town... If you go find him now, you should still make it in time."
These words were spoken.
Roxy's heart skipped a beat.
Does Kishirika mean that Luo Ge is currently nearby? You see... their next destination is Krasma, the northernmost town on the Demon Continent.
The distance to the target location is actually only about twenty miles.
If they hurry over there, it will only take them a little over an hour at most.
" Roxy?"
Elinalise looked at the stunned Roxy and called out softly twice.
But Roxy seemed not to hear her at all. She hurriedly thanked Kishirika, "Thank you... Your Majesty... I was disrespectful to you just now."
"It's nothing, it's all I deserve."
Goodbye then.
With her back to Roxy and her group, Kishirika walked away into the distance, accompanied by her loud laughter.
Then, because of the sandstorm, she covered her head and coughed violently a few times.
Seeing such an abstract scene, the three of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought. To be honest... none of them had expected that the legendary Demon Emperor would be so abstract.
Just as the three were hurrying towards their destination, Krasma Town.
Meanwhile, the tavern in the city center also began its new day of business.
Not long after Nanahoshi woke up, Demon King Badigadi also returned.
He seemed to be in a good mood; his imposing figure blocked most of the view as soon as he entered, making it difficult for him to go unnoticed.
"Your Majesty, you're back?"
"Yes, I'm back!"
" Nanahoshi are awake too, hahaha..."
Good morning, Your Majesty the Demon King.
Following Luo Ge's example, Nanahoshi placed his hand on his chest as a greeting to the Demon King.
Badigadi nodded to the Nanahoshi, then quickly looked at Luo Ge and said, "I've already borrowed a boat. If you're in a hurry, the three of us can set off right now!"
That's wonderful!
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Demon King. I am truly grateful for your care."
In the end, Luo Ge couldn't help but exchange a glance with Nanahoshi, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes.
Luo Ge was overjoyed because he could finally return to Millis and tell Paul and the others where his mother, Zenith, was.
The reason Nanahoshi was happy was entirely because she didn't want to stay in the harsh environment of the Demon Continent anymore.
This place is so resource-scarce... to be honest, it's practically uninhabitable.
Therefore, the two acted very quickly... They didn't bring anything except the essential supplies for sea travel.
A few minutes later, they left the tavern and headed towards the westernmost port.
Luo Ge had no idea that just as they left, just as they were leaving the tavern...
The other three also entered Krasma Town at the same time. They were none other than the search and rescue team consisting of Roxy, Elinalise, and Talhand.
Upon arriving in this remote town, the first thing the three of them did was to ask around for information.
Unexpectedly, just by making a casual inquiry, they obtained the information they wanted with remarkable ease.
The demon being questioned by the three was a local resident. At first, he was uninterested, but when he learned that the person the three were asking about was actually a human boy named Luo Ge Greyrat, he became interested.
The demon's face immediately filled with awe, and he pointed in the direction of the tavern to explain the situation.
"... Great, I'll be able to see Luo Ge soon."
However, when Roxy arrived at the tavern, the tavern owner told her that Luo Ge had recently left with the Demon King.
When Roxy heard the news, she felt like the sky had fallen. Had she missed it? Had she really missed it all?
Upon hearing this sudden and unexpected shock, Roxy almost collapsed to the ground, her body going limp.
"Excuse me!"
"Where did they go? How long have they been gone?" Roxy, who quickly realized what was going on, hurriedly asked.
She stared intently at the tavern owner with an extremely urgent look in her eyes.
The tavern owner didn't think much of it, then pointed to the left after exiting. "That's the direction... That human swordsman went to the seaside with His Majesty the Demon King. I heard... they're preparing to take a ship to the Millis Continent, they've probably already set sail..."
However, Roxy couldn't listen anymore. The moment she received the information, she rushed out of the tavern.
Seeing Roxy's eagerness, Elinalise and Talhand exchanged a glance, both revealing knowing, amused expressions.
They've seen it all along... Despite Roxy's seemingly indifferent attitude towards everything around her, she seems to show special care for this disciple.
On the main street of Krasma, a very strange scene soon unfolded: a Migrudia demon girl, holding a magic wand, was seen running frantically along the way.
Hurry up.
We need to be quick.
Roxy's blue twin braids swayed in the wind as she used all her strength to speed up her pursuit, wishing she could sprout angel wings to run even faster.
She had been separated from her disciple for seven years since leaving Buena Village, and thought they were long gone.
But I never expected that I would see that disciple I was so proud of again in my lifetime.
As she ran through the streets, memories of her time with Luo Ge in Buena Village began to surface in Roxy's mind—her most beautiful and precious memories.
This time.
No matter what happened, she was determined to catch up until she could personally confirm that the other person was still alive, even if it was just to catch a glimpse of them from afar.
arrive.
We're almost there.
I don't know how much time has passed...
When Roxy finally arrived at the seaside port, she was exhausted and panting heavily. As a magician, she was naturally physically weak.
Even though she was exhausted, Roxy didn't care at all. She just kept looking around with anxious eyes.
People were coming and going around...
After looking around, Roxy noticed a ship slowly sailing away into the distance, getting further and further away.
When she heard people around her talking about how the ship was heading to the Millis Continent, Roxy felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Could it be?
Was he destined to miss his disciple this time?
Roxy clenched her fists with great resentment, her expression filled with stubbornness and unwillingness.
Just as Roxy's face was filled with disappointment as she squatted alone on the beach, drawing circles with her hands and muttering to herself, she suddenly heard the sound of two people arguing behind her.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're such a hassle! Dragging your feet so slowly!"
"Ugh... Do you think I want this?! Can't I have short legs? Can't you be a little more understanding of girls? No wonder you can't find a girlfriend."
The Demon King Badigadi, watching the two bickering and arguing non-stop since they set off, couldn't get a word in edgewise.
In particular, as the two argued, they would use a language that they couldn't understand at all. It was neither human language nor Demon God Language, and it seemed to belong to no language system in this world.
While Roxy was still squatting on the ground drawing circles with her hands, she was immersed in a world of utter disappointment, unable to extricate herself.
The bickering behind me vanished in an instant, as if the surrounding air had frozen.
Roxy seemed to realize something, then she quickly got up, lowered her head, and ran away. "Sorry... I'll move aside right away."
But just as she finished speaking and turned to run away, a shocked voice came from behind her.
"Huh?"
"... Old? Teacher!!"
