031. Vacation, Blackfire Mansion (2)
Come to your senses, you have to answer well here to be comfortable in the future. The opponent is a family that worships demons. It’s not clear yet, but the atmosphere it gave off was unusual.
Sieg’s spirit was so great that even the slightest mistake seemed unacceptable.
The ladies-in-waiting who were busy at Sieg’s words and my mother, who was frantically cutting the steak, stopped all at once.
momentary silence.
The first person to speak after that was my mother. A voice like a jade marble echoing through the quiet dining room.
“Oh! Aren? Son, when did you come?”
“… … ?”
“I just found out while drinking wine. Dude, it’s still quiet.”
“… … !?”
What is this conversation flow?
“I’m sorry, son. Please understand. My mother said it was because she was very hungry. Other local food is really bad, I want it because it doesn’t suit my mouth.”
“You don’t know that there will be wars around you if you just eat, right?”
“Oh ho ho! Honey, shut up.”
The mother raised her knife and glared at Sieg.
Sieg curled up his tail with a giggle.
“… … Go ahead, have a meal or something. you.”
“I’ve heard everything from Aren.”
My mother, Delina Blackfire, put her chin on her chin and began to stare at me. A benevolent smile was a bonus.
Delina was a cold-looking beauty befitting the Blackfire family, but her actions and words were close to blunt.
“Aren. I’m sorry for saying something different all of a sudden. yes, talk to me You saw a demon, what the hell do you mean by that?”
The flow of the story was chaos itself.
After exuding a lot of force like a minion of the dark lord, what? When did you come?
Then, is the reason why you haven’t spoken at all because you didn’t even know I came to eat? I’m full of energy.
What is it?
I’m confused, but I have to answer.
If these people are still worshiping demons, the demon attack itself will be welcomed, but on the other hand, they will regret that their resurrection is blocked.
The opposite… … I honestly don’t know.
It was rather strange that the exterior of the mansion and the family’s past and not worshiping the demons.
To make matters worse, the flow of the conversation itself was chaotic, making it hard to judge.
I thought about it for a while, but it seemed better to be honest.
“I didn’t see the demons myself, but one of the magic professors used the power of the demons.”
I just heard something like that happened at the academy… … . He started talking like someone who had heard the story while passing by.
I said that it was related, or that it was a big deal to attack demons, while thoroughly excluding personal sentiments.
Who appeared when and where, and who fought. What was the damage and what happened after that? Same facts only.
At some point, the attendants were paying attention to my clear explanation.
Unlike the immature new cadets, this is Blackfire’s mansion.
It may be a sensitive or interesting subject for them. It may be an event that shakes their daily life to the root.
As I continued my explanation, I checked the air currents in the restaurant. If there was even a little bit of a strange feeling here, I thought I would catch it right away.
But it wasn’t too hard either. They didn’t even flinch.
Sieg, Delina, and the attendants.
He seemed to hide his emotions thoroughly.
“The truth of the incident is still being investigated by the academy. We’ll find out over the holidays.”
I have finished explaining everything.
I watched Sieg’s reaction. It was a face full of trouble. What will this man say?
I calmly sliced the steak and put it in my mouth. As if nothing happened.
There was wine next to it.
I don’t like alcohol, but a sip at such an aristocratic mealtime would be fine.
But it wasn’t alcohol. sweet
‘It’s a grape drink.’
Unfazed, I put the glass down.

Keep reminding I am someone who has lived here for 20 years. You have to get used to the little things.
I am used to drinking grape juice instead of wine.
“Well. It happened.”
After thinking for a while, Sieg opened his mouth.
It’s a tense moment.
The words that came out of his mouth completely exceeded my expectations.
“Aren, be careful too. Demons should never come close. I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”
“… … ?”
“Yes, Aren. Are you not hurt? Really, what is the world going to be like? When are the enemy demons?”
for a moment… … This is Blackfire Mansion, right?
Confusing.
If there was even the slightest hint of demon worship, I was going to cut my losses immediately, but I didn’t expect this kind of development at all.
I wondered if I was skillfully lying to Diamon’s admirers. However, I couldn’t think of any reason for them to deceive me, their child.
Not even the child I picked up.
What is it really?
“Aren? Got it? When writing, try to avoid the letter ‘e’ as much as possible.”
Delina emphasized once more.
I can’t be this crazy.
A member of the most famous family as a worshiper of Diamon told me to avoid the demons. If you just listen to them, it seems that they have completely withdrawn from the demons.
“It’s your grandfather’s will. Don’t seek demonic power again. When he was young, he clearly saw how the demon worshipers spoke… … I will have to follow Even being born is a miracle. You should thank the first host.”
“I don’t know why demons are interested in things like that. There are so many interesting things in the world. Right, honey?”
“then! I was about to tell you, Aren. Father and mother are about to go on another trip in two days. I heard that the Goat Cheese Festival in Eastland is so much fun!”
“And you intend to stay in the capital for a month? How about it, isn’t it fun just thinking about it?”
“… … yes.”
uh… … Well.
Let’s organize our thoughts.
Yes, these people, no Sieg Blackfire, have been born and raised in this gloomy manor all their lives. Delina is from a different family, so even so.
After all, this man had never dreamed of outside air in his life.
So, everything in the world is new, and it’s fun.
Traveling happily, eating delicious food, and enjoying festivals. all new experiences.
I’ve been locked up for at least 40 years, so I won’t have enough time to enjoy things I haven’t been able to do… … .
demon worship? Even if it was me, I would have given it to a dog.
In other words, these people are petit bourgeois who just want to enjoy the world. It’s not like the demon’s pawn.
The impression of this mansion has been my complete illusion until now.
“But Aren. Keep this one thing in mind. The identity of our family is black magic. You have to carry on.”
Delina shook her head as if in sympathy.
It feels like all the troublesome things are being passed on to me… … ?
“Just be careful not to get caught. I hope you get good grades and raise your honor, but the priority is our family identity. got it? It’s okay to have bad grades. It’s just a saying to do well.”
“Black magic is not illegal at the academy.”
I wondered if this person really didn’t know what to say, so I checked again.
“Oh, so? What this is, I should have been to the academy to know. Ahaha! The rules are more generous than I thought.”
“When is the time, pay attention to the child, you.”
“This is of interest. Isn’t that right, Aren? Yes, whatever you do, you’ll do just fine. Abby believes in you.”
No matter how you look at it, there didn’t seem to be any impure conspiracies or secrets surrounding the mansion.
If that is acting, they are Song Kang-oh and Jeon No-yeon in this world.
They were just idiots who didn’t know much about the world.
He didn’t even seem interested in his son’s grades. The words spoken were light and formal.
They believe in me enough to make me think that I am a good parent.
“ha… … .”
For some reason, I let out a sigh.
“yes? son? Why are you suddenly sighing? Are you sick? Annie, take care of Aren.”
“Yes, madam.”
Annie stroked my back with a worried hand.
no, i’m not sick I’m so dumbfounded.
“I’m a little tired.”
It’s over for now, but it seems necessary to look after they empty the mansion.
“Um, so? Well, we were tired from traveling too. Bill Glish? The meal will end with this. Please clean it up.”
“Yes.”
Billglish beckoned to the attendants. Then the waiting attendants moved in perfect order.
Delina stretched and rose from her seat.
“Uh- I ate well. I’ll go up first and wash up. animated film? Can you get me some bath water?”
“Yes, madam.”
Delina disappeared like the wind, and I was left alone with Sieg.
“How is life at the academy?”
Contrary to the harsh image, Sieg was warmer than expected.
“It is fun.”
“Is that so? Good thing. I was worried that you would go and adapt well. Wasn’t there such a thing as bullying?”
“It was a lot.”
“okay. I can’t help it. Originally, life is alone.”
not. Is it harsh?
Sieg jumped up from his seat. He grabbed my shoulder and said softly.
“I heard that from the second semester, I will go on an external mission. Is that right?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, then I was informed that I needed a personal weapon. Well, I’d better give it to you now. Follow me.”
From the 2nd semester, I will go out on an external mission.
Then, the academy provides basic equipment, but the quality is so bad that the cadets don’t use it often.
For this reason, it has been an unspoken custom to do the most important weapon at home.
I saw the back of Sieg as he strode away. Although he looked bold, he had a graceful gait.
* * *
“Come to think of it, this is a place I’ve never shown you before.”
Standing in front of the door at the end of the first floor, Sieg said in a solemn voice. There was a chill at the door.
“It’s a place where treasures passed down from generation to generation are kept.”
Whoa. It’s nice to hear that
Blackfire had quite a long history in terms of setting.
As it was a wealthy family, it was expected that the treasures accumulated over a long history would be considerable.
Sieg opened the door.
Contrary to expectations, the secret room did not appear immediately. When I opened the door, I saw an endless floor and an old staircase.
wheein-
A cold wind blew in. The true identity of the chill was coming down from below.
“let’s go.”
Following Sieg down the creaky wooden stairs, they arrived at an underground cave.
The underground cave was much larger and deeper than I had imagined. It can accommodate hundreds of people.
Sieg picked up the torch and continued on his way.
“Isn’t that right, Aren?”
Aren- Aren- Aren-
The voice echoed.
“yes?”
“This underground cave. It is a cave made by humans to hide when the black dragon still flies in the sky.”
As soon as he said that, he stopped.
A torch lit up an old, large iron door.
Contrary to what Sieg had said, a black dragon was engraved on the iron door, and I felt that it was sealed with strong magic.
“Isn’t it fun? That black dragon became the symbol of our family.”
Sieg took a small dagger from his pocket and bled his finger.
“This door can only be opened by the enemy of our Blackfire. Our blood is the key.”
As he touched the door with his bloody hand, the cave began to tremble like a lie. The heavy iron door slowly opened its mouth.
The acrid smell of stale air stung his nostrils.
coo coo coo… … .
The space inside the door was not an ordinary room. Rather, it was wide enough to believe it was a dungeon.
“This is where you will have to manage someday. Take a good look at it.”
Sieg squeezed my shoulders tightly and walked ahead.
All sorts of items were lined up on the left and right sides of the vast space. Various weapons and magic tools were clearly rare items even at first glance.
However, the house itself was wrapped in a veil, so I didn’t know what kind of items they were all about.
Most of them were things that even I, a veteran player, had never seen before.
Unfortunately, Sieg passed them all, so it didn’t look like they were allowed to me yet.
I licked my lips with regret and continued on my way. The place Sieg was headed was the center.
The center of this secret room was a very heterogeneous space.
Even though it was a dark space where you could barely distinguish objects by holding a candle, it was shining brightly as if there were lights.
The closer I got to that place, the more I realized that there was an object emitting light alone, rather than a simple light shining on it.
“Aren.”
Standing tall in front of the brilliantly shining object, Sieg spoke quietly.
“Yes.”
“If you’ve read Necrotula, you know that, right? The fact that the first patriarch of our family was a crusader.”
“I know.”
every know Because my specialty was ‘descendant of the swordsman’.
“You weren’t just a Crusader. He was the noblest among the Crusader, and the sword saint who reached the pinnacle.”
Saying that, Sieg put his hand on the shiny object.
Then, I gently place the object on my hands.
“This is the sword he used in his lifetime.”
The object on my hand stopped emitting light, revealing a dizzying figure.
It was terrifyingly sharp, and it felt sacred enough to suffocate.
“The legend built with this sword alone builds a mountain.”
Sieg ran his hand over the blade and said the name of the sword.
“The invitation called this sword the Purifier.”
“Purifier… … ?”

Type: Holy Sword
Designation: Purifier

As I said the holy name, I began to see information about the holy sword.
