Chapter 28 Return (2)
As night fell, Selena returned to Cape Mant.
I was prepared to punish him for threatening Frontier, but there was no such thing.
It is said that Frontier passed out after reaching the wall.
Thanks to this, Selena was able to get through today without a hitch.
“Jay.”
“Mr. Hagli.”
Selena turned to the voice behind her and bowed her head.
“Is there any progress?”
“… … Frontier has crossed the barrier. He accompanied me. I think I’ve at least gained the trust to put my back on it.”
… … would it be
I told the truth without a single lie, but is Frontier really like that?
what will he think of me No, did you believe it in the first place?
… … no. So do I.
Do I believe in Frontier?
“Frondie has crossed the barrier. Jay, give me a detailed report.”
“… … Yes.”
Selena told Hagley of her trip to the lake as she remembered.
Sacred Forest, Lake, and even Excalibur.
“You got Excalibur? Frontier?”
“No, he didn’t get it… … .”
Selena didn’t know how to describe the scene. But once you open your mouth.
“Excalibur was in the lake, and Frontier went into the lake and came out after a while. It was empty-handed back then.”
“Then you didn’t get it.”
“… … But then it came into existence. sword.”
“… … got a sword? A place where there is nothing.”
“That’s right.”
Hagly patted her chin. It was hard to believe.
“That sword truly looks exactly like Excalibur… … No. I can’t figure it out.”
“… … Yes. Because I have never seen the real thing.”
“Then it is most likely a fake. Excalibur is a famous sword that chooses its master. Frontier can’t have it.”
fake.
For some reason, Selena was nervous at that word.
He also declared that to Minyu, the woman of the lake. Looking at the sword that Frontier made. ‘That’s fake!’
How was Frontier back then?
She smiled surprisingly brightly, and nodded her head as if she agreed very deeply.
-Yes. It’s fake.
Didn’t you answer that way?

Now, does the word ‘fake’ have any significance?‘furthermore.’
Besides, Frontier flew away first (which was surprising), so I didn’t see Selena.
When she arrived in front of the barrier, the battlefield was already shredded.
There was a crater that looked like a meteorite had fallen, and the corpse of a monster was spread outside.
It was also the story of the periphery, and in the center there was not a drop of blood left, let alone the corpse of a monster.
Who did that?
It doesn’t make much sense for Frontier to do it, and if he doesn’t, it doesn’t make any more sense.
“Jay. I know what you are thinking.”
Selena shook her head at Hagley’s words.
“The demons in front of Tayburn’s wall have been destroyed. It has already spread here. Are you thinking about how it happened?”
“Sorry, I’m sorry. I couldn’t see the scene at the time.”
Selena broke into a cold sweat as she answered.
The information power of Mangot is also great. It’s an incident in the north that hasn’t even been a day yet.
Besides, even Hagly herself, who knows exactly what she is thinking.
“Don’t worry. Mangot is already considered to be the work of ‘Leadwi von Urfa’. That’s the only thing that can be done.”
“… … okay.”
“Although now in decline and retired from the front line, Reidwe was once an archmage worthy of the ‘Zodiac’. Had it not been for the injury, I would have stood shoulder to shoulder with Zodiac Heldre.”
It hasn’t completely declined either. Saying that, Hagly seemed to have convinced himself.
‘… … Was that destruction done by Reedwee?’
Yeah, I guess that’s right. There’s no way Frontier can do it. Thinking about it that way puts my mind at ease.
“Is the report over?”
When Hagli asked, Selena said yes, and bowed her head deeply.
… … There was something I couldn’t talk about.
It wasn’t just the traces of a huge annihilation in front of the wall.
Did not report the ancient language. Perhaps Frontier is the most important thing for Mangot, and it is the number one priority with Selena next to him.
-Your name is Selena de Vanie.
-If in doubt, go to Mangot and tell him this. whether it is true or not
Frontier’s words do not leave my head.
how does he know My mother, father, and my full name.
‘No, what are you talking about? It must have been a lie I spit out anything to get out of that situation. Surely.’
… … However, then why?
Why can’t you tell Hagley about this yet?
If ever it’s true If I could know where I was born.
If only I could meet Mom and Dad.
‘Then Mangot.’
Can I really meet you?
Shall I send myself, who was raised as an assassin, to the nobles easily?
… … Mangot, a group of exiles, indeed.
* * *
It was morning when I opened my eyes.
Actually, I woke up because my mouth and face were very stuffy.
There was something on his face. No, I had something in my mouth.
“What is this… … .”
I opened my mouth and heard it was cloth. wide and long fabric. I stared at the very familiar shape.
“… … Ah, Penelope’s cloth.”
Come to think of it, it was the last thing I had in my mouth before it disappeared. It looked like it was covering my face while performing shape regression.
“Ok.”
I got up.
Looking around, I saw that it was a room in the mansion I was staying in, Lisa.
Yesterday, while trying to ‘restore’, I just passed out. It’s on my finger of five stupid things I’ve done here.
[You have succeeded in weaving a new ‘Legendary’ grade.]
[The level of the unique skill ‘Weaving’ has risen.]
[The ‘Restore’ function has been disabled.]
[Restoration: Return the target to its previous state of damage. However, the original material or replacement material is required before it is damaged. Mana consumption varies depending on the target’s size, grade, and damage level.]
I saw this phrase when I was going out of the forest.
The function ‘restore’ that was locked in weaving.
Just looking at the description, it seems similar to the ‘reduction’ that Aten implemented before.
However, reduction is close to a miracle that the target is limited to ‘living things’ and mana itself turns into matter.
So, even if it is Aten, there is a chance of failure. At that time, the mana I consumed was returned to my blood and flesh, so even if it was the first time I tried it, the probability of success was high.
Conversely, true ‘reduction’ can heal the body defects of the opponent even with Aten’s own mana. It’s not a necessary character for the main character’s party for nothing.
‘Restoration, on the other hand, feels like a time-limited rewind.’
Restoration returns the object to its pre-damage state. However, the original material must be present.
For example, if the statue’s arm is broken, that arm should remain. Excessive weathering, wear, and changes in the state of the material cannot be restored.
My restoration of the barrier was canceled on the way, but if I had done it to the end at the time, it would not have been restored as it was when the barrier was built.
Somewhere old, there must have been cracks left. It’s okay if the years pass and it’s just a piece of stone, but if it turns into dust and scatters and turns into mana, it can’t be brought back.
“But we still need to restore it.”
I turned my gaze to the window.
-It looked peaceful outside.
Hell, I did that in front of the wall, but there’s no way the monsters will come again. There will be no numbers in the first place. I was a little worried, but I don’t think it will be too late to restore the barrier.
… … but
“Selena.”
“yes.”
I called Selena, who had been standing still in front of me for a while.
Selena was sitting still. No, I don’t know if he was sitting upright or kneeling. His posture is perfect, but his body has been shaking since before.
Just looking at it, I’ve never been seated.
“What are you doing?”
“… … He, on a break, is.”
“Who is trembling in pain?”
“no. Very, very comfortable posture.”
Hmm.
I got up and walked over to Selena. Then he grabbed both shoulders and pressed them tightly.
“… … !”
“I’m glad you’re comfortable. Then I have something to talk about.”
“No, if you let go of your shoulders… … .”
“What. important story. If I hold my shoulder and talk like this, you will hear me well.”
“Even if you don’t, I’ll listen to you.”
“What are you talking about. Even now, you close your eyes and turn your head away from me.”
“This isn’t because I didn’t hear it, it’s not… … .”
Selena’s face twitched. Still, he was forced to maintain his posture.
It’s fun, but let’s stop now.
“I get it. I’ll talk, so stand up and listen. It’s uncomfortable to look down on.”
“Ah, thanks, ah, no, I see.”
Selena staggered to her feet. It was not cool at all to get up with numbness in my legs.
Selena must be accustomed to torture, but she’s only doing that to her knees. How many hours have you been sitting there?
“Why is there one sitting position that doesn’t suit you like that?”
“… … I’ve heard it helps to organize when you have a lot of thoughts. It definitely helps. I’ve been doing this for about five hours and I can’t think of anything else.”
… … No, it’s because it hurts. It’s a posture to meditate on.
Five hours anyway. I looked at the smartwatch.
The time is 11 am. Even though I slept for a long time, I’ve been here since 6 o’clock.
“So, let’s talk about… … ?”
“It’s about your punishment.”
I spoke plainly, but I could see Selena’s expression hardening.
Well. He seems to be moderately afraid of me. Or acting like that.
“You threatened me with a knife to my neck. If it’s the same, even if I kill you here, ‘Mangot’ will remain silent. ‘Ancient fish’ is nothing more than your imagination.”
“… … .”
Selena bowed her head.
“Mangot wants my ‘ancient language interpretation ability’, not me. Selena’s words came out of your mouth. But are you really worth more than that old-fashioned ability to interpret? Is your life worth that much on Mangot?”
“… … no.”
Selena shook her head quietly. I saw her face.
… … I can’t see Selena’s expression on her face. Selena is an assassin trained in Mango. Maybe his acting skills are good too.
If it was Empress Philly, it would be possible to see Selena’s insides, but I don’t have the talent or skill to read other people’s insides.
Over the past few days, I seem to have gotten to know him a little bit.
The facial expressions and tones of when you were sacrificing yourself, the way you looked when you were protecting yourself, the way you spoke after letting go of yourself, and your crying face imagining torture, all of them remain in my head.
however.
If it’s Mangot’s assassin, it could all be smoke.
In the first place, Mangot and I are trying to use each other in a relationship. Of course, Mangot believes that I will be proud because I am just playing Mangot, but no one is as scared of Mangot as I am.
“Selena.”
So I decided.
“Report about me to Mangot in moderation.”
Make Selena On My Side
“That is your punishment.”
Selena will not be able to deny this.
i’ll make it that way
