Mission No.6 Greed (4)
“… Why is this written in this report?”
“I don’t know. Because I didn’t write it.”
After checking the report several times, Lafon lifted his languid face.
A word that appears only once in the entire report.
-It is a metal that can be used for the defense of Capoteron.
Lafon let out a deep sigh and shook his head. This is why Ewald stretched out with Capoteron in his mouth.
Lafon, who confirmed once again that his words did not come out of nowhere, opened his mouth in a tone that gave up everything.
“… I like it. I will tell you the location of Capoteron.”
“It’s good.”
Ewald nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
However, Lafon, who was drooping in his chair, corrected his posture and sat down, raising his gaze toward Ebalt.
“But what are you going to do with capoteron?”
It is a voice filled with deep concerns and doubts. Ewald glanced back at Lafon while organizing the items in his backpack.
“Well, that…”
With those words, Ewald drew a fresh smile.
“I’ll tell you later.”
* * *
“Master, master, you must be careful when you go. By all means, by all means. You don’t have to pick up that sh*t-like metal, so come back healthy. Sure.”
“Okay.”
Ewald slightly pinched cute Usbel’s cheek.
“I’ll be back in a month.”
I don’t know if it will take a month, but I’ll have to schedule it well enough.
Ewald pushed away Usbel, who was clinging to the crotch of his pants, and made eye contact with the investigators one by one.
“Given the distance, I think you can come back within two weeks.”
“… It’s a long way away.”
2 weeks round trip… Doesn’t that mean it’s only a week to go down?
Ewald, who had a lot of experience wandering around, but had never been so deep beneath the ground, felt his heart rate rise subtly and smiled involuntarily.
As expected, the incarnation of wanderlust and reverse marshal, the adventurous Ewald Kitsuka.
“Go. I won’t be there when you get back, so say hello here.”
Zelena carried a backpack similar to Ewald’s and gave Ewald a faint smile.
Now it was time for her to go back and do her own thing.
While quickly retracing her short journey with Zelena, whom she hadn’t seen in a while, Balt nodded her head, creating a smile similar to Zelena’s.
“If we live, we will meet again.”
“Don’t look for it.”
After speaking like her joke, Zelena turned her body to the other side of Ewald.
But she had only taken three steps and Zelena tilted her head and turned behind her towards Ewald.
“If you have a chance to come to Doublea Kingdom, come to Malton Mountains.”
“The Marlton Mountains?”
Ewald furrowed his eyebrows.
“… How long is that mountain range, and are you telling me to find it?”
Ewald had to put on an absurd expression at Zelena, who threw the hard labor to find her in the mountains that lined up along the coastline of the southern continent to the point where it was disgusting.
But Zelena shook her head once slightly and turned back on her way.
“You will know when you come.”
“… It might be late?”
“You should come soon.”
Zelena waved her hand and opened her mouth without looking back.
“I’ll figure out how to find the stolen Schheim.”

“May the lamp of Tosap shine before every step.”
Lafon prayed for the blessing of Ohisa to each and every one of the people on the road. Of course, Supea stepped back, saying she didn’t want to see Valkier and Tosaf fighting over her, but Lafon responded calmly.
“I hope that Tosaf will be the messenger so that Valkier can take care of his precious daughter one more time.”
“… It puts it together well.”
He said so, but Shupeaa let a smile cross his lips.
Having carefully checked his equipment and supplies, especially food and drinking water, Ebalt slit the neck of his rucksack. Shupea, who stared blankly at it, pointed out that there were too many items compared to the backpack.
“I don’t think they will fit in there?”
“Okay?”
Ewald replied, and stuffed whatever he could get into his backpack.
“I don’t think it will be long…”
At first glance, the sword hilt, which was longer than the backpack, suddenly disappeared in front of Speaa’s eyes.
“… Mister, what the hell is that backpack?”
“It’s a backpack. A backpack connected to another space.”
Ewald, who casually introduced the ‘national treasure-level artifact’ as if it were nothing special, quickly stuffed the items into his backpack and jumped up from his seat.
“Then I will go.”
* * *
It is the fourth day since leaving Kaselheim. Ebalt, who created drinking water with magic, rinsed his sticky hair with water and shook his clothes.
It’s insanely hot
“Isn’t it always this hot when you go down underground?”
Elif, who was ready to throw off his clothes without Ewald, brushed off his sweaty clothes.
Adele, who was originally speechless but didn’t want to say a word because of the heat, took the water that Ewald gave her and poured it over her face.
Spea is sprawled on a stone floor.
“If you sleep in a place like that, your mouth will go back.”
“At this temperature?”
From noble mtl dot com
At the temperature on the day of the murder, even if her collar was only brushed, Shupea could only shake her breath, not having the energy to shake her head.
Ewald, who glanced at Spea, who was wearing layers of priestly clothes that looked the hottest among the members of the expedition, thought about whether he would collapse from heatstroke and watch the nether world.
“Mister, water.”
“OK.”
Shupea, who was handed over the canteen while lying on the floor, poured water on his face.
With a cool sound, Shupea’s drenched face regained its tranquility.
“Wow, as expected, only the face needs to be refreshed.”
“… But aren’t you hot?”
To Ebalt, who was staring at him with a very worried expression, Shupea shook his head.
“Are you okay. You just need to cool your face. It’s not because I’m hot right now, it’s because I’m having a hard time.”
Do you believe that it is not hot when you are wearing a priestly uniform that looks like something you should wear in winter?
However, Shupea, who came back with an expression that had become lighter after having water sprayed on her face, stood up with a roar.
Ewald threw a serious word at such a spaea.
“If you can’t wear Elif clothes because your heart is empty, how about wearing it with your eyes closed? Who sees it here?”
“… Are you making a fuss?”
“I’m afraid I’ll fall.”
“This is a priestly uniform.”
After giving an answer that didn’t make any sense at all, Shupea spread his arms wide to the left and right and jumped up cheerfully.
“One suit is enough for all four seasons. It doesn’t ask about the weather, it blocks the cold, and it blocks the heat. Didn’t Mr. Peddiem deliberately take care of it for him to go on a pilgrimage?”
Was there such a function in the priestly uniform?
Elif seriously contemplated whether there was a way to steal that priestly robe and put it on, but he had to end his delusion with a helpless sigh, as if the chest was somehow stuck.
However, at Elif, who stopped her gaze near her chest and sighed, Shupea cursed for a long time.
Ewald, who stared blankly at it, caught his breath and stood up from his seat.
“Let’s go again. We still have a long way to go.”
It was clear that everyone wanted to rest a little longer. But Ewald, impatient, waded through the hot, sticky air to reach the men.
“Stop fighting and pack your things.”
Ewald, who had approached the two of them with the momentum to grab at their backs, turned his gaze to Adele, who was sitting across from him.
“Adele, let’s go.”
Adele didn’t budge.
“Adele?”
Adele was sitting on Odokani Rock with her body turned toward the path that Ewald had made for the magic lights.
Ewald, thinking that he was too tired to answer, walked towards Adele scratching his head.
“Hey, lady. I have to go.”
But this time there was no answer either. Feeling strange, Ewald grabbed Adele’s shoulder.
“Adele?”
Adele collapsed into Ewald’s arms like a broken puppet.
* * *
“Lysa.”
Pieces of light floated in front of Ewald.
Wherever his eyes were directed, the connecting lines of light began to illuminate the path by driving away the darkness clinging to the dim space.
Ewald checked the breathing of Adele on his back and moved his steps.
“Is Adele okay?”
I don’t know. He had no injuries whatsoever.
He’s not even sick.
He may not have talked about it because he is so reticent Adele, but at least it is Adele who did not have any problems as a result of checking when leaving Kazelheim a few days ago.
However, Adele was carried on Ewald’s back as if she were dead and did not respond to any external stimuli.
He of course he was breathing hard so I guess he wasn’t dead. He’s just lying there so quietly that he doesn’t even know what to do with it.
In the end, Ewald, who decided that he had to go down on his back, passed the backpack he was carrying on his back to Shu Pea and trudged down Adele on his back.
Even so, Ewald’s back was soaking wet as he was carrying a person on his back in the temperature where sweat was dripping down.
Although in a state of fainting, Adele was also sweating profusely, so the boundary between the two closely adhered to each other so that you could feel their skin.
It was to the point where I could feel every single thing, even the strange feeling behind my back.
Elif and Spea, who were following Ewald, were overcome with strange emotions as they watched Adele, who was drenched in sweat and whose contours were getting clearer.
“Hey, should I just take that off?”
“Yes? But if you take it off…”
Elif opened his mouth hesitantly.
“It’s more raunchy.”
“I’m not talking about stripping.”
“Wouldn’t it be more erotic to take off your clothes in the first place?”
Shupea’s face heated up with a pop.
I didn’t say it with that in mind, but that natural Elif threw a mental counter at Shu Pea and hit her head to make her blush.
“Nu, nu, who said that with that in mind…”
“… Keep talking if you want to follow with duck steps.”
Ewald, whose annoyance soared to the top of his head at the thought of saying all sorts of nonsense, growled mercilessly.
Hot sweat ran down his face and tickled Balt’s cheek. After lifting Adele up once, Balt shook his face roughly.
At that moment, Adele’s creeping voice penetrated Ewald’s ears.
“Don’t go.”
“… Huh?”
“Don’t go, Justi.”
Are you talking in your sleep?
Ewald took an interest in Adele’s uncharacteristic behavior.
However, long tears flowed from Adele’s eyes as she sat on Ewald’s back.
“… Don’t abandon me.”

“Lahaf.”
“… Oh my gosh, surprise.”
Rahaf, who was not surprised at all and said that as usual, stood up from his seat and met Felix’s with his yellow eyes.
As if he had recovered enough to move, Felix stood in front of Rahaf as before.
“You look like you’re curious about something.”
“I just want to ask you a few questions.”
At this point, La Harp nodded his head with the nuance that he knew he would come.
“But I need you to answer my question first.”
And Rahaf brought out the word he had been waiting for.
“Why did you try to kill Ewald?”
Felix read the color in Rahaf’s eyes.
It was a cool life.
Felix closed his eyes at LaHaf, who asked RaHaf the same question he had implied when he was leaving Kazelheim, even to the point of killing himself.
“It’s because I heard that if Ebalt-sama doesn’t die, Belzedeus will use his body as a vessel and resurrect.”
“… Okay?”
However, Rahaf’s reaction was lukewarm.
Embarrassed again, Felix opened his closed eyes and looked at Lahalf, but Lahalf had already retrieved his gaze from Felix.
Sitting quietly, she lifted up the book she was reading and spoke without looking at Felix.
“Why do you carelessly listen to bullsh*t?”
Rahaf’s personality would have crushed Felix, who tried to kill him, even if Ewald hadn’t died.
But she was waiting for Felix to speak without resorting to any violence of her own.
“I heard from the elf.”
“Elf?”
She averted her gaze from Felix, but Rahalf, who reflexively looked at Felix at the elf’s words, furrowed her eyebrows.
Then Felix opened his lips heavily toward Rahaf, who began to feel a little uneasiness.
“Laser Palasea, who sealed Beelzedeus to Ewald-sama.”
Rahaf’s face contorted.
“She said so.”
