141 – Beautiful Girl Golem (2)
Naturally following Tsumei, we arrived at the academy’s main building, the dean’s office on the top floor.
[…] … Ha?! You put a spell on me?]
Flügel’s shout rang out from none other than that place.
Tsumei, who was feeling prickly, immediately lowered her gaze.
“Angry, I know it’s something to be angry about. Flügel, but can you please understand how your aunt feels? Yeongsan-ejedo, you’ve already left the academy twice, so I’m just worried…….”
Then he starts making excuses. However, when Flügel’s gaze was not kind, her eyes turned very sad.
“…… In fact, you are in danger. “How do you think I felt when the magic tool that tells me your condition suddenly lit up in red?”
[…] ….]
Furthermore, this time Flügel did not give a particularly harsh response.
As I said, it’s probably because I can’t guess Tsumei’s mood at the time.
A magic tool that simply indicates the status through colors. In other words, this would mean that the information that Tsumei can know is limited to just the change in color.
They wouldn’t have been able to figure out the exact situation on the other side and whether Flügel was properly safe.
[…] … Grump.]
As if the anger that was about to rise had subsided all at once, Flügel could only let out a small growl. He didn’t get more annoyed than that.
After giving her a gentle pat to ease her mood, I looked back at Tsumei.
I roughly understood the question of why she was there to meet me and why she immediately checked on Flügel’s condition upon meeting her.
The magic tool turned red, probably because Flügel had just been attacked by Duke Blake.
Putting aside the fact that a spell was cast without even telling the person involved, I was rather surprised in other aspects.
So I decided to ask about him right away.
“Still, didn’t you manage to fly straight to the island or something? “If you’re the dean, you definitely deserve it.”
And when I said those words, Tsumei, who had been squirming, tilted her head and turned. However, that expression felt very subtle.
Is it because I feel like my nuance has strangely turned me into an impulsive dragon?
“Well, I tried to do that too.”
“Ah.”
Apparently that wasn’t the case.
Tsumei scratched his horn with an expression of humility.
“…… Just as I released my polymorph and was about to fly into dragon form, Helena stopped me. She was sweating profusely, which was unusual. “She tried to persuade me somehow.”
And succinctly talk about what happened at the time. Helena’s appearance, along with Jibril’s presence behind her.
The moment her name was mentioned, I blinked and turned my head.
Just then, a white-haired girl wearing a black maid’s uniform, who was standing calmly behind Tsumei, let out an awkward laugh.
According to Tsumei, it was Jibril who called Helena and stopped her from acting unexpectedly.
‘…… But, why the maid’s uniform? ‘Do you want to do a maid cosplay?’
Putting aside the momentary doubts that arose, I turned my head towards Tsumei.
She made an embarrassed expression, as if she was embarrassed.
“Anyway, that’s why Helena tried to hold me with magic… …. Was I losing my mind just a little bit and going wild? At that point, the magic tool responded again.”
“…… “Did you go on a rampage?”
“Hmm! The magic tool has turned green again. Was it roughly a little less than 6 hours ago?”
Tsumei finished the explanation like that, trying to ignore my hesitant question.
And then he once again gave an apologetic glance at Flügel and then turned to me and asked.
“…… So Dante.”
As if it was his turn this time.
She took on a somewhat serious attitude.
“What happened? In the system.”
“… ….”
I didn’t give an answer right away. First of all, it wasn’t a short enough story.
Instead, I looked at Tsumei’s expression and complexion.
And when I finally checked her eyes, I found that, surprisingly, she had remained quite calm.
He didn’t show the slightest sign that he felt bad for me for taking Flügel with him and putting him in danger.
Quite strangely enough.
‘Still, I thought you’d be a little angry.’
She just seemed like she wanted to hear the story.
Literally, ‘What happened?’
I raised my head and exchanged glances with Beatrice, who was playing around with Jibril, who was wearing a maid’s uniform.
She blinked for a moment and then nodded her head.
A nod indicating that it is okay to talk about the Holy Grail.
“…… To begin with, a man named Duke Blake did this.”
So I decided to tell everything.
Everything that happened in the islands that day.
*****
The story is over.
“…… Okay.”
After a short silence, Tsumei shook her head a little heavily.
“So something like that happened.”
“… ….”
“Duke Blake, that bastard was a warlock… ….”
After telling her story as it was, I waited for Tsumei to organize her thoughts. Quietly.
And it was no different for Beatrice and Jibril, who were joking around a while ago.
From noble mtl dot com
Yes, Tsumei’s spirit at this moment was so cruel and cold that it cannot be easily described-.
Also, it was truly gloomy.
“…… Phew.”
I think about a minute has passed since then.
It felt like 5 minutes had passed.
Tsumei, who had been pouring out her murderous words just a moment ago, soon shook her head with a light exhalation.
With that very cute gesture, the space soon regained its original atmosphere.
“In my heart, I want to go to the Duchy of Blake right now.”
“… ….”
Isn’t it?
“If you say it right, burning the land wouldn’t mean much. “The duke must have already disappeared from the sun.”
“…… Sure. “If he had stayed in the castle, I wouldn’t have come back without doing anything.”
Towards Tsumei, who seemed to have calmed down a little, I nodded in agreement.
And that wasn’t wrong.
Duke Blake. It’s not that I didn’t look for him.
Of course, the same goes for Eve and the Emperor.
What does it mean that you couldn’t find it? Isn’t it simple?
That bastard has already hidden her body.
It is truly abominable. This means that there is nothing that can be done right away.
“Ha… ….”
Tsumei let out a long and heavy sigh.
The emotions contained within never faded.
How much anger can the existence of a warlock who intended the destruction of Flügel and amplified the curse from the beginning bring about in Tsumei?
To be honest, I didn’t even want to imagine it.
I’m probably just barely holding on to it even now.
That must be true.
“…… “I got excited for a moment.”
Of course, if there were a few more reasons for such patience, the fact that Flügel was in good condition right now probably played a big role.
‘If not, the system would have already burned down. ‘I can guarantee this.’
There were other reasons.
Tsumei turned her head.
Even so, as if she was just about to get her words out about him, she looked at her Beatrice and spoke a little cautiously.
“…… I am indebted to you, Beatrice. “There would have been no obligation for you to take risks in order to use the Holy Grail.”
Soon, words that could not be properly organized slowly flowed out of Tsumei’s lips.
Her story was lengthy, but of course its purpose was gratitude toward Beatrice.
Immediately, Tsumei stopped her words and looked at Beatrice, and as an bonus (?) I also turned around and touched her lips.
“…… Thank you both. “I’m glad you guys took on the role of guardian even though I wasn’t there.”
“Um… ….”
And I couldn’t help but look embarrassed at such a sincere thank you.
Is it because it was an unexpected greeting?
I didn’t think they would hold me responsible, but I thought there might be some level of resentment buried there.
In the end, I couldn’t say anything and just nodded briefly.
It was my own way of receiving greetings.
But.
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Tsumei’s next words were a topic and request that I could not have expected.
Her blue eyes looked at me calmly.
“Flügel, can you give it back to me for a moment?”
“Wow.”
I had no choice but to swallow my breath without realizing it.
Suddenly, my eyes began to waver.
In addition, I wasn’t the only one who was embarrassed, and at that moment, Flügel, who was leaning on the sofa next to me, was shocked and poured out words of protest.
[I, aunt? No! That’s not allowed! I’m going to stay by Dante’s side?!]
Then, the flugel tries to bite the body. Tsumei, who was so intense, had an indescribable expression on her face.
It could be said to be the expression of a slightly hurt parent.
In the awkward silence, Tsumei soon raised one of her hands to calm her situation.
“I don’t mean it that way. Who steals it? “There’s no way I would do something you wouldn’t like, Flügel.”
[…] … Huh? Then?]
“It’s nothing else.”
In response to Flügel’s questioning question, Tsumei lowered her hand and at the same time shifted her gaze slightly to the side. No, is it below?
While everyone in the audience was blinking, I was the first to let out a small exclamation of ‘Ah’ as I suddenly realized something.
So, is it okay now?
The ‘thing’ in the basement.
“…… He said he used the Holy Grail. “Then, in any case, the Flügel curse would have subsided, and even if it wasn’t completely cured, it would certainly have been purified to a large extent.”
Everyone looked like they didn’t understand Tsumei’s words. Not only Beatrice and Djibril, but also Flügel, who was involved, of course.
So, I decided to listen.
“Are you trying to transfer your consciousness?”
“That’s right.”
And Tsu Mei immediately nodded his head.
She looked strangely satisfied.
It looks like he is somewhat proud, and should I say that he is looking forward to the results that await him in the same way?
“Let’s go, Flügel.”
That is to say.
“…… “Because there is a gift I prepared for you ten years ago.”
It was a look that could be said to belong to a creator or inventor.
