Chapter 9 Menosorphs (5)
I opened the door on the floor.
The basement you could see was quite large.
I jumped down.
Thump, it was quite loud, but it had no effect on the body.
I looked around the basement.
The place had not been cleaned, and dust was rolling around, and a musty smell stung my nostrils.
Does this basement, only Frontier know?
At least, it seems to be a place unknown to the people who clean this place.
I looked around the basement. The structure did not look very different from the upper floors.
I held a book on the table in the left corner.
In the book that I naturally got my hands on,
‘The Diary – Frontier de Roach’
it was written
In an instant, my heart pounded.
I slowly opened the middle of the diary.
May 2nd
It’s not cold even when it’s raining. Is the cold completely gone?
Elodie boasted that because of her divine power, she was neither hot nor cold all year round.
got a little hot
… … .
June 14
hot.
Elodie persuaded me to go to the valley.
You’re not hot either.
I was just pretending to be pissed. I know everything.
A story from my childhood.
It’s a long time ago, so it seems that Elodie is friendly to Frontier.
‘The fact that the diary is here, did the old Frontier live in the hut?’
As a frontier with no confidence, he might have been better off staying here than watching him at home.
I flipped through the pages and stopped.
A very short line.
I looked at the sentence like a nail in my eyes.
December 26th.
Completed the interpretation of the ancient language.
“… … ?”
ancient?
Did Frontier interpreted the ancient language?
I looked at my diary again.
Certainly, Frontier kept records of ancient languages on a regular basis.
─Ancient words sometimes have different meanings, even though they are made up of exactly the same letters. The meaning of each is not the same at all, but different. Realizing that, I was very tired. Arguably, this language was not created for communication.
“… … What’s this?”
Frontier was interpreting the ancient language and completed the interpretation?
Interpreting the ancient language means that Frondier found the ancient language somewhere.
Where are you?
I read the diary again from the front.
October 21st
terribly cold
Still, Elodie goes out in light clothes.
slowly getting bored
Does Elodie know how I feel?

November 4Tired of laughing
I’m tired of saying it’s okay.
I’m tired of this situation where I have to say I’m fine every day.
damn it Mr. X. damn year.
please shut up
An ominous energy is felt in the diary.
There are more and more frequent days of profanity against Elodie.
In this thick diary, as time goes by, Frontier’s hatred for Elodie grows.
‘Did Frontier hate Elodie?’

No, this is not a matter of dislike.like hate

November 11Five gods who love Elodie.
Why Elodie? why five?
At least one of them was allowed to come to me.
Read at noblemtl.com
No you don’t have to I don’t have to have confidence.But having someone like that by my side is painful.
Get it off, Elodie.
go away.
disappear in front of me
Don’t laugh like that in front of me.
“Five gods… … .”
Elodie is loved by the five gods.
A Frontier with no power or talent.
Frontier’s sense of inferiority seemed more serious than I had imagined.
December 2nd
After a while, the interpretation of the ancient language is complete.
When that happens, everything is over.
My sense of inferiority and this melancholy.
You won’t be able to see Elodie’s thoughtless smile any more.
Elodie will be in the same situation as me.
“What?”
Is Elodie in the same situation?
What’s the relationship between the interpretation of the ancient language and the Elodi?
Did you discover something while interpreting the ancient language?
‘Nope. If you look at the diary, it seems that you have learned the interpretation of the ancient language because of Elodie.’
My head accelerated rapidly.
Even if I don’t want to, my thoughts flow one after another and drive the thought forward.
Ancient language, interpretation, Elodie, five gods, the same situation.
‘… … Using the ancient language, I tried to do something to Elodi’s divine power.’
Judging from the way he speaks, it seems as if he was trying to destroy Elodie’s divine power.
But it probably has failed, or is pending.
Looking at the year of this diary, it was three years ago.
A story long before entering Constell.
When I was playing Etius, Elodie was handling the powers of the five gods well, and the invisible was Frontier.
I was trying to do something to Elodie, I don’t know what it was, but it didn’t work out.
After that, he became a ‘human sloth frontier’ and just slept in Constell.
… … frontier. what the hell were you trying to do
It’s just an incompetent character!
That’s enough to bother me!
‘It’s only then that he’s completely a villain… … .’
thud-
Then I heard something crashing. It was heard from above.
Instinctively, tension ran through my body.
Soon after, a loud voice was heard.
“Ah, ah, Iboshu, Master, are you there?”
A low-key voice amplified with mana.
It’s rude to use the word Bocchan.
“I came to know everything. young master.”
‘… … enemy?’
Calm your pounding heart and catch your breath.
“It would be better if you just come out quietly. If you don’t open this door, you’re going to burn this house down, right?”
… … what are you guys doing Are they the ones with a grudge against me?
All Frontier looks pathetic, he probably wouldn’t have done anything to earn a grudge.
Or is it the ‘Roach family’, not me?
“It’s okay, guys. Get it out of the way.”
Whether he was alone or not, he heard a voice that seemed to be directed towards his subordinates.
soon after
Quad Duck!
The stomach was noisy as if an earthquake had occurred with a terrifying pounding sound.
perhaps arrows.
You said you were going to burn it, so is it a fire arrow?
preparation is thorough.
I can’t do this unless I’m convinced from the beginning that I’m here.
I quickly looked around.
Even if they don’t know that I’m in the basement and not my house, I’m sure they’ll be found if the hut is torn down anyway.
Before that, something needs to be dealt with.
‘Weaving… … !’
I started putting everything I could see around me in the studio.
Each time, I was able to check the structure of things.
‘If it is an outbuilding of a noble family, it must be there.’
I found a bookshelf while looking for it like this.
A button installed under some books on the bookshelf, and a stream of magic power that follows it.
“This… … .”
I walked over to the bookshelf and pressed down on the books Mana was facing.
Then the bookshelf slipped and moved to the side. And there was a passage that could fit one person.
──I found the way out.
If you just run away from here, first of all,
“young master! We didn’t just come! I have a present for you!”
what are you saying that guy
A moment to ignore and move towards the escape route.
“Because we have one child!”
That’s where my feet stopped.
I rolled my eyes in unbearable displeasure.
“This child, from now on, I will throw the sword into that house. It will ride very well.”
It was a lie, I thought.
But a faint cry is heard. It was definitely a boy’s voice.
“If you run away, the master will be branded a murderer starting tomorrow. If he killed a child by arson, wouldn’t that be a pretty bad crime?”
assholes.

Now I know who these guys are. No, I know who controls these guys.He is not the enemy of the Roach family. They’re not that simple.
Indus, an organization that wears a shell for the common people.
Those greasy things got me.
“Whew… … .”
After taking a deep breath,
climbed the ladder

“Hey, light the fire in moderation. All you have to do is break the door.”
Serp, who was watching, warned.
Just take out the frontier and that’s it. It is difficult to die from suffocation.
“Well, isn’t this the equivalent of being caught?”
They are following Serp’s orders, but they are not members of the Indus.
It’s just a mercenary group that Serp saved with a large sum of money.
They had no idea who they were touching, or if it was the Roach family. I was simply ordered to ‘burn the hut and get the man inside out’.
“Yes. It’s a black man that will come out on its own. You even threatened with Erla.”
One of the Indus members, Grobel, was chattering.

Next to him was a much younger boy, laughing.“Brother, did I do well?”
“Oh, you did well. My younger brother’s acting skills are improving day by day.”
Grovel smiled as he stroked his brother Rockbell’s head.
“Brother, but am I really in there? To that burning house?”
“No, I’m just saying. That frontier crawls out like this. But if I crawl out, do I have to postpone it again? Alright?”
“yes!”
Grovel reassured Rockbell.
Serp, who was listening to that, thought.
‘But if you don’t come out, you won’t be able to learn.’
By now the house must have been full of smoke.
If you were an ordinary human with no power, it would be obvious that you couldn’t stand it and run away.
Even if there is an escape route prepared in advance, it will be branded as a murderer who killed a child, can we ignore that?
If a noble family like Roach commits the murder of a child, a path worse than death awaits.
Probably sent to ‘Tayburn’s Wall’ or something like that, where it rots until it dies.
rattle-
“Ah?”
Then, the door opened.
From there, Frontier appeared.
“Are you really out?”
Grovel was surprised, but Serp was still thinking about it.
Frontier is lazy and incompetent, plus he is a noble. The way they think is obvious.
Even in this situation, I think you will be safe.

Now that I have done what I was told, I am not responsible for what happens to the child, and I will not die because I am a noble.He came out with such an idle thought.
“Oh my gosh. nice to meet you My name is Grovel.”
Grovel opened his mouth.
“If you obey our words, you won’t be able to see the bad things.”
“Serf Daniel.”
Frontier interrupted Grovel.
Grovel got a little upset, but kept quiet.
… … By the way, how do you know Serp Daniel?
“Serf Daniel. Answer me. Are you deaf?”
Huh, Serp smirked.
Still do not know the situation and position?
Serp, who had been silent behind him, finally opened his mouth.
“I was surprised that you knew me.”
“Why are you shutting down from behind?”
“You speak. I just don’t go too far.”
Serp speaks calmly.
It met Frontier’s eyes.
lazy eyes. Even after coming to this point, the eyes are drowsy and sleepy.
With that relaxed expression, Frontier.
“You are the initiator. Serp Daniel.”
He said it as if he was saying something natural, as if he was correcting it with the right answer.
“──What do you mean by that? The man in front of me is the leader named Grovel.”
“Oh yeah. Is it such a concept? I get it. Then just skip it.”
Frontier waved his hand in annoyance.
What is that negligent look? as if he knew everything.
Serp felt uncomfortable for a while. But it didn’t show on his face.
always smile
As an Indus member, you must do so.
“Before I do your favor, let me make one suggestion.”
However, there was no end to Frontier’s arrogance.
A tendon grew on Grobel’s forehead.
“Master, is your head full of water? You might be able to offer something like that.”
“That kid over there.”
Frontier pointed to his brother, Locbell, who was next to Grovel.
Oddly enough, Rockbell continued to cry as soon as Frontier came out.
said Frontier.
“Send it to me.”
