Chapter 5 Culprit Memory Loss

                                                   5.            Culprit Memory Loss

Karos teleported to the town where Saint Cecilia was living, but we couldn't detect is exact location where he is hiding. Here Demons are restricted from entering as it is one of human occupied village. I asked about this to Astra, then She showed her guild ID card which indicated below:

Name: Lucy Ferdinant           Job:   Legendary Witch                                                                                                  Rank: S                          Element: Fire, Water, Earth, Light, Dark, Void, Ice

What are you Astra Wales or lucy Ferdinant?? I asked her.

She replied to Rei, I grew up in this town with my grandfather house. My alias in this town was Lucy Ferdinant. I reached S rank last month; I can switch into my witch form using his bracelet.

Her long silky red hair turned into twin tail, and she wore a black robe and hat attire. Her look was mature and beautiful compared to the demon princess dress she used to wear in the palace. had a staff which can transform into any weapon she wishes.

Then the weapon merchant Brad asked "Lucy Chan, I didn't see you for long time where war you. Is that guy your apprentice "

Yes Brad, He is Masato Rei, a photographer who like to learn fire magic. You see my grandpa is a Fire Wizard right. He saw my Witch Academy assistant recruitment and joined as a newbie. By the way we came here, did you see any guy with demonic aura with specs. Here is the poster issued by Heroes at the frontier

Lady Lucy, this man he went to the firecracker factory, you can catch him if you go now. A brown robed man came along with him.

Rei, come fast we should catch him as early as soon as possible before he escapes.

OK Lucy San I will try to capture the photo of the robe man and freeze him using my camera snapshot skill.

Lucy San used her magical staff and cast ice spikes with poison magic to attack the robe man who made her mother bedridden for long time.

I tried to take photo of him, but he fell into a burrow that connect to a dungeon, which made my aim to miss.

I checked the photo I took and saw that the ice spikes imbued with poison was a successful hit and the blood starts to come out from the fresh wound.

Then Lucy and I started to follow the fresh blood trails left behind by the robe man.

Then we saw Karos writing something on the wall of the caves and writing something "Mission accomplished Goodbye Young master".

Then he opened his magical bag and took a bottle containing purple potion and started to drink the potion and after drinking that he groaned in pain and he fell on the ground laying unconsciously.

Then I took my water bottle and poured some water on Karos to wake him up.

To our shock he woke up and asked us, "Excuse me do you guys know the way to go to Demon King's Castle"

Then Lucy asked, "Why did you poison my mother, who asked you to do it?"

Then he said," I don't know are you miss and I don't know your mom at all I am a new employee hired by Demon king Wales. Today is my first day."

We got shocked to see Karos has lost his 5 years of memories when he was working at Demon King castle and Lucy came to know that this potion can erase person's memories who consumes it.

Then we heard an echo inside the cave, "Ahh Princess and Photographer, you can't catch me still It is not time for you guys to face the great evil Mr. Robe Man."

Then Lucy said, "We failed to catch the culprit, we will wait and see after we form a better trap to lure him in."

Like this our plan to find the Robe man ends here but I got a little hint from my previous knowledge, but I don't have a proof to accuse him.

I smiled seeing Lucy, better I will wait for my chance to come and plan well for Saint Cecila's bright future now I can bring the love story of Saint and Hero in a successful manner.
