115 – Fast forward
“Whh.. What’s going on!!”
The scene the servants saw as they rushed out into the hallway, driven by the screams,
The outer walls of the guest room shattered and people in suspicious robes.
And it was someone who was wiping his hands on top of Charlie’s body.
Golden eyes revealed between the robes that were disheveled due to the violent battle,
They turned to a middle-aged man who seemed to be the most senior among them.
“Welcome back. I think we need a new room.”
“…Yes?”
“I’d like a meal too. Can you guide me?”
“Ah.. I see!”
As it is an unnecessarily spacious mansion, are there enough rooms for guest reception?
Soon after, the middle-aged butler started guiding us to the place, shaking his legs.
Let the rest of the servants who were not named approach Charlie who is crying on the floor.
“Are you alright?!”
“Potion!! Bring the potion!!”
Charlie, who couldn’t even make a sound in front of us,
She yells at you to bring her an expensive luxury item, the potion.
‘… It’s a shame.’
I just slightly misplaced her bones.
The bones are not fragmented,
You wouldn’t even need a recovery spell, let alone a potion.
Even though he himself cried out in pain,
Eris, who was much younger than her, must have suffered worse.
“… Tsk.”
She followed the butler upstairs, wondering if she should have just broken her arm.
The butler showed us to a much more luxurious and spacious room than before.
‘…Really, all of them are disgusting.’
“That… This is the largest room in the mansion, excluding Charlie’s room.”
Even her own room is bigger than this.
‘It’s truly the standard of a digger.’
I wanted to go on a rampage one more time and take away even Charlie’s room, but
Since she thought it was the room he used to live in, she didn’t like it no matter how spacious it was.
The top priority was to look at Eris’ condition right now.
“Go ahead.”
“Yes. I’ll serve you the meal right away.”
“Uh. Be sure to knock when you come in.”
-Quaang!!
As soon as you enter the room, She
She sat down at the table and opened her mouth to Elena.
“How is she?”
“That’s…”
A voice so gloomy that, without the robe, her droopy ears could be seen in her eyes.
… I guess it’s not very good.
“Is it very serious?”
“Mana is already spreading inside the body. Purification is possible with Anis-sama’s power.”
“It’s possible, but?”
“… I don’t know. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this… First of all, I restrained it from spreading further.”
“Good job.”
According to Professor Bergen, she said that two weeks had passed since Eris lost contact.
2 Weeks.
“…”
When she turned her head and met her eyes with Eris,
The big eyes typical of children were trembling anxiously.
Through the shabby clothes,
Innumerable mana threads of ominous color flowing through the patterns engraved on the collarbone.
“Did you say Eris?”
Awkward!
From noble mtl dot com
… Why are you so scared?
At that time.
– Smart smart.
When I opened the door at the sound of knocking,
A maid was standing in front of the door with a tray of food.
“I brought you the meal you ordered!”
“Yeah…But. Why are there only four plates?”
“…Yes? There are four people in the party…”
… I had a lot to say,
She knew it was useless to take out her anger on the maid, so she quietly opened her mouth.
“Bring more.”
“How much more do you want…”
Her I think about the state of Eris’ body that met her eyes just before.
Unlike her gun-like eyes, her slender arms that trembled like an aspen tree,
She sees her skinny for so long that she hasn’t eaten properly.
“… Bring three more servings. A high-sugar dessert to cheer you up.”
“Yes.. Yes! Got it!”
– Bang!
“… Ha ha.”
– Dripping.
At dinner a little while ago,
Neither Grade nor Elena could have had a proper meal because they were paying attention to me and Charlie.
Needless to say that Sungjin was with Eris when she got lost.
Place a plate of luxurious-looking soup and steak on the table, She
Sat down.
And then.
– Swoop.
“… Eat it.”
The dishes and utensils in front of me,
I pushed towards Eris.
“…Yes?”
“You’re not hungry. Don’t eat too quickly. My portion will come soon, so don’t worry and eat.”
“…”
– Knock.
She was swallowing saliva while staring at the tidal wave of food in front of her eyes.
Eris was still looking at the plate and me alternately with anxious eyes.
“…Why is that?”
Are you afraid it might contain poison?
It’s poison. If you burn it with Elena’s flame…
At that time.
“Rye. Snow…”
“Snow?”
Elena smiles bitterly and points her finger at the inside of her robe.
Ah.
Only then did I realize what I was sitting in front of Eris.
Iron armor with blood spattered from the battle with the mercenary a while ago,
Eyes with golden eyes that shimmered between tightly folded robes.
‘… It’s just scary.’
Hurrying up the mana in the eye to cancel the fantasy eye,
I took off my robe.
“…! A vampire…?”
“Sure. What did you think I was?”
“…For.”
I think Charlie overheard the black dragon or something.
“… There’s no way dragons exist in this world.”
“You are…”
“Huh?”
“What are you…?”
It seemed like we were still wary of belonging to Dimension like the strange guests who came last time.
In this case,
It would be better for Eris to come up with the most reassuring name.
“Professor Bergen sent me here.”
“…!! Uncle?!”
“Yes. I’ll call you if you want.”
When the name of Bergen came up,
Eris’s complexion visibly brightened.
Then he carefully looked this way.
“…A martial arts competition.”
“Right.”
“Uncle’s disciple…?”
“How did you know that?”
“Wow!”
I wonder if it wasn’t a lie that I usually keep in touch with Bergen?
I started recognizing my face at once.
At the same time, let’s take off our robes so that Elena and Grade can eat comfortably.
Eris’ exclamations continued.
“…High elves!”
Until the last time Seong Jin-ha took off his robe.
“Finals!”
“…You’ve seen a lot of martial arts videos.”
No matter how much you intuitively observe the martial arts competition,
Most of the people were so preoccupied with the battle that they couldn’t recognize them even when they were actually in front of them.
For a while, Eris looked at us with bright eyes like celebrities. She
She looked at her plate once again and soon she started gulping down soup and water.
“…Eat it slowly.”
“Keep…Thank you… Kkeuk..!”
Maybe it’s because I’ve been relaxed for a long time,
Shedding tears like chicken droppings.
“…”
She rested her chin on her chin for a moment and silently watched Eris eat her food.
Black hair that has been tangled here and there because I haven’t been able to manage it for a while,
Traces of restraint are sparsely visible on her arms.
Awesome.
At the same time,
It was a scene that made my teeth gnash.
Although Charlie’s narcissistic extravagance may not have kept her from living a wealthy life,
Even so, if she had grown up like this, she would have followed Bergen to the academy and lived a normal life.
‘If only she could have come a little sooner…’
The belated regret made her heart choke.
Even I, seeing Eris for the first time today, feel this way,
How much does Professor Bergen think of this child as her own daughter?
-Click.
Eris frantically took a picture of her eating and sent it to Bergen.
At the sudden sound of the shutter, everyone around looked at us with suspicious expressions, but
Eris kept stuffing the bread from her soup into her mouth as if she couldn’t even hear her shutter sound.
“… To send to the professor.”
“Ah. I see… By the way, it’s okay if I don’t eat rye? Would you like some of mine?”
“No. I ate a lot earlier. Eat comfortably.”
And after a while.
-Titling!!
-… Thank you. Don’t be afraid to answer for this. Please take care of yourself, everyone.
Professor Bergen has arrived with an sincere thank you not like a middle-aged tsundere.
And soon after, additional meals and desserts arrived, and after a hectic meal,
Time passed and the dark night was approaching.
**
– Hurry up!!
“Keep it off…!!”
“… Be patient.”
Elena and Eris were burning the contaminated fairy mana in their bodies on the bed.
Originally, Elena’s flame was able to identify and burn her Pia.
In the case of Eris, she had to burn the mana that spreads throughout her body,
She says that no small amount of pain follows.
“…”
It’s good that you brought Elena.
The hero’s mana of light was too much.
If it weren’t for Elena,
By now, you must have been thinking about whether to return to her academy for Eris’ sake.
Of course, if I had returned to the academy in my current state,
The original purpose of intervening in the war would have been foiled.
After patting Elena on the shoulder, saying please take good care of Elena, who is looking at Eris who has fallen from exhaustion with pity in her eyes,
I walked out onto the terrace of a needlessly large room.
Maybe it was difficult to see Eris like me there,
Grade and Seong Jin-ha were breathing in the air, exuding a bit of awkwardness.
“…Are you here?”
“What are you doing here?”
“Just. Seeing Miss Eris made her feel a bit distraught.”
“That’s right.”
I am confused as well.
I think it’s more because it’s nighttime, so I’m in a state of shrinking both psychologically and physically.
Still.
‘… The moon is pretty.’
Let’s approach Seong Jin-ha, who was staring blankly at the sky without saying anything.
“…You.”
“Huh?”
Seong Jin-ha came to talk to her.
“… Have you been fighting like this all along?”
In a slightly darker voice,
As if something was bitter.
The profile of Seong Jin-ha asking me a question as if reproaching himself,
She seems to have been quite shocked by this incident.
‘It’s frustrating again.’
Now, to enter the main character’s mental growth scene,
It’s never too late.
“Hey.”
“…?”
“Does it matter now?”
“Is that important…”
“Anyway, you’re fighting right now. With me.
In the time to worry about unnecessary things, get a little more sleep for tomorrow. Because you’re busy.”
Therefore,
I will boldly skip the growth scene.
The guy who looked at me blankly after hearing my words for the first time,
As if he understood something, he nodded briefly and went inside.
“…Rye.”
“Why?”
“hahahaha… No. You’re nice.”
And soon after, Grade, who was watching the conversation, smiled bitterly and went inside,
My body started to get chilly, so I went into the room.
Although Elena was still treating Eris,
Moving to the table where Grade and Seong Jin-ha were sitting, he opened his mouth.
“Now, let’s start discussing what to do tomorrow.”
“…A lot to do.”
“Originally, there’s nothing to do when things are definitely decided. We have to find them, so there’s a lot to do.”
– Kkeuheuup…!!
“…We’d better get Charlie as much information as possible about her organization first.”
“But did an executive in the organization tell a guy like Charlie anything helpful?”
“That’s the problem.”
-Hey…Hey…
“Then, why don’t we wait here for the next gang?”
“…That’s too dangerous. Then, when the real executives come, it’s over.”
“Then…”
-Hey…
So let’s hold on to her head with Grade and drown her in agony.
– Talk tok.
“Huh?”
Elena came over quietly and she tapped me on the shoulder.
“…Why?”
“Hey… Eris said she had something to say.”
“Eris?”
Come to think of it,
It seems that I could hear Eris’s voice from time to time during the meeting.
Since she was under treatment, I thought it was just a scream and passed it over lightly…
“Hey…”
Now I see,
Eris was coming this way, holding her by the collarbone, her tears welling up.
“…Why? If it hurts a lot, wash first and go to sleep…”
“That’s not it. He said he needed a clue about the organization…”
“Huh?”
“I’ve heard. In prison… Strange people talk.”
Anyway,
The answer must have been closer than I thought.
