117 – Yeo-Nan
“J..Earth?!”
Certainly, the air itself that touches the skin feels a little different.
Is it because the mana in the air is less than Merhem?
I don’t know how to feel.
“Lea.”
So I turned on the illusion and called Leah’s name to look around her.
-…
“…Lea?”
Lea didn’t answer.
‘What is it?’
There were several times when Leah practically didn’t answer,
At least, there was never a time when I didn’t even feel Leia’s mana like this.
At that time.
-That’s natural, isn’t it?
Miss Anis approached me in confusion and opened her mouth.
Of course?
What the hell…?
– Leah is a fairy of ‘Merhem’. And this is not Merhem.
“Then no way…!”
It wasn’t a time like this.
“Grade! Look around for a moment to see if there is anything. Be careful because there might be people!”
“Huh? I see.. What is it? Are you going with Elena too?”
“…Because I left something behind.”
Turn her body around and go through the gate you just passed through again.
‘…Found.’
Fortunately, I was able to spot Leah squatting right next to the gate.
“Is that… Leah?”
Elena, the first time I see her after changing into her ladylike form, puts on a puzzled expression on her face, but…
From the pattern on her wrist, Leah’s mana also felt normal.
‘It doesn’t seem like the contract is going to end.’
I never even thought about Leah.
Let’s approach Leah, who is staring blankly down at her floor, as if she hasn’t noticed that I’m back yet.
-Why… Did you abandon me again? Lie… Why? You just came to see me again…
“…”
She was constantly muttering to herself with a broken appearance.
This is bad.
“Lea.”
-Why… I just wanted to be by your side…
“Leah!!”
-Eh… Huh?!
Her Tears The figure of Leah crying like a child with her runny nose covered.
She thought she would be okay because she has shown a lot of maturity lately.
The condition is more serious than I thought.
-La..I?
“Why are you crying like this?”
– But.. hehehe! Rai is… Jade is…!
It seems that the fact that Jade left herself and left for Earth in the past left her with severe PTSD for Leah.
From noble mtl dot com
I thought that even Lai, the reincarnation of Jade, might have abandoned herself and left for Earth,
In a short amount of time that can be called an instant, the mentality went out.
“…Lea. Why am I abandoning you?”
-… You’ve already thrown it away once.
It’s hot.
“I couldn’t help it then.”
Even that’s what the great first hero, Jade, did.
I can never make the choice to give up precious relationships for the sake of other people I don’t even know.
“…Calm down for now. Huh?”
-Hey…
‘I’m going crazy.’
As there is no information about this gate,
There was no time to leisurely soothe Leah like this.
Another fairy floating next to Elena, who tilted her head as if it were strange to hear the conversation between Leah and I,
I gave Anis-nim a look of salvation.
-… HELP!!
I tried to look away with a furrow between my brows as if I was bothered,
Since Anis-sama also knew about the current situation, she had no choice but to slowly fly in front of Leah.
And then.
-…Lea.
– Yes?
He opened his mouth with a benevolent voice befitting the oldest among us.
‘That’s right.’
-Are you aware of the urgency of the current situation? What you are doing now is to hinder Rai’s expedition.
Unstoppable stone fastball.
But Leah knew that too,
She quietly lowered her head and began to listen to Miss Anis.
-I don’t know what happened in the past… But now is now. Don’t act like a child anymore.
-… But Anise-sama! … No. Sorry. Mr. Anise. Lie.
-Yes. And…
Huh?
-If you twist it, wouldn’t it be enough for you to perish as well? Chuckle
Lea’s eyes go cold at Anis’ bold self-harming gag.
‘… Huh?’
As if thinking seriously about something,
Lea, who had been immersed in thought for a long time,
-Sueuk.
My eyes met.
“…Lea?”
-… Just kidding. Take care of yourself and go. I’ll be waiting for you here
-Continued…
I feel uncomfortable about something, but
First of all, it was more important to grasp the situation on the other side, so I waved to Leah and moved toward her gate.
“… Why are you talking nonsense?”
-Of course it’s a joke to lighten the mood. I don’t know if they think so too.
“…”
-Ugh!
Let’s go through the gate again like that.
At the same time as Leah’s mana ran out,
Grade and Sung Jin-ha caught my eye.
“…A surprise.”
“Did you come back? Did you bring your things?”
“Uh. So. What’s the situation?”
“I don’t think there are any guards left… I think there’s an observation device that doesn’t feel mana.”
Observation equipment that doesn’t feel mana?
“…Follow me.”
Let’s follow Grade to the outskirts of the mountain path.
– Wiing.
“Eak.”
A familiar type of monitoring mechanism,
The product of science, CCTV, was filming the outside.
“…CCTVYes.”
“CCTV?”
“By the way… I’m shooting outside, not inside?”
The moderately piled walls and barbed wire,
And even CCTV.
It was like looking at a modern military security zone.
Of course, the military existed on the ‘Earth’ of this worldview.
However, this side’s army is similar to the government’s secret service to hide the gate,
Mainly, people with abilities in the district or staff in charge of gates were referred to as soldiers.
In case of emergency,
Through physical examinations, talented ordinary people are called in and actual military training is conducted.
As for why you know so much about it,
In this episode, the main enemy of Merveus along with Dimension was the human army.
“… I don’t think you’ll have any problems getting out.”
Because the surrounding area was quite thick with trees and bushes,
Ordinary CCTV will not be able to confirm the entry and exit of civilians.
Then, that CCTV is most likely a thermal camera.
“Elena. How far can you make a fire?”
“Fire…?”
Even if that’s not the case, hiding in a thick bush like this is,
For those of us who deal with food, it was too easy.
**
At that time
“Now… Please wait!”
After Lai and his party left,
Fire fell on the feet of the Reflecain family, who were barely breathing.
Late afternoon.
A man calling himself an executive of the organization came to the mansion again.
Charlie, whose recovery has been delayed due to the cast on his arm, quickly runs into the waiting room.
“Hello.”
A gruff voice greeted Charlie.
“Oh…! It hasn’t been long since you left…! Do you have any other instructions?”
“… It’s been a while since you left? Well… It’s been a while.”
From the outside, it looks like a completely young girl,
But because of the last incident, I decided to stop judging them by their appearance.
Even if it’s a pink-haired kid who is constantly eating cookies like that.
“…hahahaha.”
It was right after I felt with my body that the organization was a monstrous group of only psychos.
However,
The words that came out of the pink-haired girl’s mouth were like thunder from the sky to Charlie.
“I’m here to find the kid the mole entrusted to me.”
“…Yes?”
“You know that girl. I heard that the mole finished the first baptism?”
“Eh… No. That’s it.”
How can it be that such a crappy organization can’t communicate with each other this much?
Even so, Charlie, who is strong and weak, couldn’t complain to them, so,
She smiled as bright as she could and rubbed her throbbing right arm against her left, opening her mouth.
“Oops… I guess it didn’t get delivered? That child was taken over this morning. The Black Dragon took over.”
“…A black dragon?”
“Yes. You have golden eyes…”
Right after the name Black Dragon came out of Charlie.
– Mr. Ik.
The corners of the mouth of the girl in front of her rose to the point of being bizarre.
“…Hey!”
“When?”
“That… He came yesterday morning and left this morning…!”
“I see… Have you finished cleaning the room the black dragon used?”
“Ah.. The workers are still repairing the walls on the second floor… Yet.”
“So…?”
**
As the start of the recent war approaches,
Dimension executive.
The pink-haired girl has a bored expression on her face,
He visited the Refleka Inn family to do a favor for his colleague.
Not exactly by ‘request’,
By ‘transaction’ though.
In the first place, there was no such thing as loyalty or strong friendship among Dimension executives.
“…It’s annoying.”
The mole guy,
Should I just kill him?
No.
I ate a guy I didn’t like the other day,
Wasn’t he scolded by him?
“Ha ha.”
Let’s pour the high-quality cookies brought by the maid into her mouth,
Soon, a vampire man with a cast on his arm hurriedly entered the room.
‘…? Why are you wearing a cast?’
Anyway the man is wearing a cast,
Whether it was a broken neck or not, it wasn’t my part-time job, so I told the business right away.
The mole has come to pick up the child he left behind.
However, an unexpected answer came from the man.
Just a moment ago,
Couldn’t it be that the golden-eyed man named after the black dragon disappeared with his little boy?
‘…?’
The first emotion I felt was embarrassment.
Is this guy deliberately playing a prank on me?
No,
For that reason, the talking Pomse was too desperate.
Then…
– Mr. Ik.
“Take me to the room he used to live in.”
At my command, the man seems to have doubts for a while,
After looking down at his arm, he immediately rose from his seat and led me to a room upstairs.
“I do.”
“Go away now.”
“…Yes. If you remember something, please talk to the servant again.”
-Kiik.
-Jerebuck.
It was definitely a warm room that had been used by someone a while ago.
– Sniff.
But the smell was not one.
The musty smell of dust in the dungeon,
Even the fresh smell of grass.
It was clear that at least one person was not staying in this room.
And.
– He hesitated.
Among the numerous beds in a needlessly large room.
The girl’s steps stopped in front of the bed at the end.
“…Aha?”
– Swoop.
The girl climbed onto the bed and buried her face deep into the pillow.
-Seueueueu…
This smell was definitely familiar.
Other people may be confused, but
With her unique sense of smell, she has a certain smell that cannot be mistaken.
“…Brother, are you doing something interesting?”
-Ahahahaha… Ahahahaha!!
On the bed where the warmth of rye remains,
A pink-haired girl hugging a large pillow.
‘Black Dragon’.
Fredrica’s laughter echoed.
