There are three main paths for those who have magical powers, and the most representative of them is the elemental wizard.
Those who can transform their magic into fire, water, and brain, and can interfere with the atmosphere and the earth.
Of course, there are usually very few people who have all the possibilities.
Just like whether you are born with magical powers or not, the transformation into what kind of character you have and where you can intervene are also innate qualities.
Hwareuk!
A small flame was ignited in the web of Erbet Arachne, which was lined up, and the flame, which flickered for a while, began to spread out, turning the entire web into a fiery line as if he had found the direction he needed to go.
Tap!
The spider’s web, which could not withstand the high temperature, breaks along the way, and the young Erbet Arachne, who rushed to them, hurriedly fell to the floor and hid themselves in the snow.
Wrath!
However, the rushing flames swept the surroundings like a tidal wave, devastatingly burning the babies hidden in the snow.
Without even expressing the pain of death that burns and crumbles, it evaporates like a handful of powder that melts in water and disappears cleanly following the spreading water vapor.
At that, I naturally raised the corners of my mouth and expressed my joy at the fact that all the mismatched patterns of the baby Arachnees that had been floating around in my mind had disappeared.
Kwajik!
However, for a short while to enjoy the lingering afterglow of that joy, an adult body that was about 3 meters tall by horribly cutting down the hard northern tree——mother Erbet Arachne, rushes in viciously.
Since Erbet Arachne is a spider, she has three pairs of eyes, and the color of her eyes changes according to the emotions she holds.
Among them, I heard that if you can extract the eyes of Erbet Arachne, which turn blue when you fall asleep in sorrow, it will be a material that can be sold at a fairly high price to collectors.
“Does even a speechless monster have maternal love?”
Looking at the blue eyes of Erbet Arachne, who seemed to be waving, I straightened the folded sleeves.
Ferzen only has extreme obsessive compulsive disorder, but his emotions have not dried up, so he has a body that can fully empathize with the grievous grief felt over the death of his child… …
Also, when those mismatched patterns came to mind, I couldn’t understand why the mother Erbet Arachne was angry.
Because, at least from Ferzen’s point of view, it wasn’t a creature born, it was simply a defective product.
Whoops!
The filth swings like a group dance, embraces the mother Arachne, and spreads wide along the movement to avoid it.
The pulsation of the flame was as beautiful as a flower that has passed through winter and has reached spring with buds blooming, so when the mother Arachne’s movements slowed down and the flames began to contract as if the flowers were dying, I felt a strange regret.
Tap!
As the body of Erbet Arachne, who was burning without even a single word of resistance, began to fall off with sparkly sparks, I took out a piece of cloth, wiped my glasses, and put it back into my pocket.
The 27th head of the Brutein family–Bavaria von Griel Brutein was an elemental magician of the same Euclid class as himself, so it was necessary to consume considerable mana to minister to him and realize his abilities during his lifetime.
So, with the heavy fatigue that weighed on my body, I took a bow to the 27th head of the family, moved him to a coffin, quietly put him into the space, and got on the carriage.
“… … ”
Perhaps due to the effect of a sudden stop, Euphemia is breathing with her head leaning to the right.
Then I let out a light sigh, shifted to the left, and said, “Go.” He let out a single word and closed his eyes for a moment.
* * * * *
“Brutein… … No, I guess I should call him Prince Ruerg now. Are you going to die earlier than that? It was four days ago that you stopped by our estate for a while.”
“I cannot disobey the call of the imperial family.”
“exactly… … ”
It didn’t make sense to be homeless, so I decided to stay for a day at Baron Roberon’s estate, which arrived in the evening.
‘That’s a big deal.’
Ferzen doesn’t know anything else, but he doesn’t have a meal with more than three people.
It’s okay if I starve myself, but I couldn’t force it on Euphemia, so I didn’t turn down the dinner that was recommended, but honestly, I was already worried.
“Five… … It’s out. have a good meal. We don’t know anything else in the North, but we prepared what we loved because we were confident in our wine.”
“is it.”
Ignoring it so I gave a short and short answer, and I glanced at Euphemia, who was sitting next to me.
‘I hold the knife in my left hand, and the fork in my right hand… … ‘
Ferzen is ambidextrous.
He’s right-handed, but he’s acquired ambidextrous ambivalence.
‘In this case, I hold the knife with my right hand and then hold the fork with my left hand. the problem is… … ‘
The baron and baroness sitting across from them.
Fortunately, the baron sat in a position symmetrical to himself, holding a knife with his left hand and a fork with his right hand, just like Euphemia.
Then, if the baroness started eating with the same knife and fork as herself, she could fill her stomach with alcohol and food and fall asleep without any problem.
“… … ”
But to the extent that such earnest plea was in vain, the baron’s wife held a knife in her left hand and a fork in her right.
‘under… … ‘
At this point, no matter what I did with both hands, it was impossible to create the correct symmetry.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
My stomach turns upside down, and I get short of breath.I tried to suppress this seizure-like seizure by biting my lips, but the reaction caused a throbbing migraine in my head, and I had no choice but to frown.
‘alcohol… … ‘
Yes, in times like these, all you need is alcohol, isn’t it?
After pulling out the cork, he took the wine poured by the attendants into a glass and gently sniffed the fragrant scent, brought it to his mouth and passed it down the back of his neck.
“Uh… … ”
The alcohol content is quite high, so my throat is burning hot.
Even after I drank a few glasses, I noticed that I was getting a little drunk, so I put down my glass and started eating.
Of course, there was no time to really appreciate the taste.
* * * * *
Despite the fact that they were in the same space, Euphemia continued to eat silently with her head bowed in the conversation as if she was treated like a stranger.
Even the servants standing around to serve, they seem to be much more sophisticated than they are now, so they instinctively shudder and shrug their shoulders.
‘ah… … ‘
Traces of stitching the torn part with a needle.
The color is turbid even after being thoroughly washed.
I feel particularly humble and ashamed of my own footsteps, which I have lived with like a vicious, hard-working, and best-loving person today.
And the moment she felt ashamed of herself, not others, of the life she had lived herself, her heart swelled up in her heart.
Wouldn’t it be more comfortable if he could damage the honor of the man sitting next to him by acting frivolously and not conforming to the etiquette?
First of all, he was his wife.
With that in mind, he turned his gaze to the side, but Euphemia was quickly broken.
No matter how frivolous, vulgar, and wretched he was, sitting next to him, it seemed that he could not defile that man’s self-righteous arrogance.
To be precise, the third parties would never see him and himself as a married couple.
Perhaps because of such thoughts, this man also left himself in a shabby state.
As an object that enhances one’s value, it is probably the present self that is worse than the small ring that is worn on the hand.
“Know the subject. 」
All of a sudden, the words of Ferzen that were uttered in a cold tone came to mind, and Euphemia felt that her self-esteem was falling even more.
“Eupemia.”
“… … !”
And at that moment, Euphemia trembled and raised her head at Ferzen’s softly calling her.
“Is your stomach full?”
There is a strong smell of strong alcohol.
I wondered when this man had been drinking so much that he was so drunk, but I immediately noticed that he was making a very unpleasant expression as he was sitting right next to me, so Euphemia answered with a trembling voice as much as possible.
“Ah, yet… … ”
“is it.”
Thinking that if he was drunk with an unpleasant feeling, he would inevitably think of himself as an emotional outlet, and Euphemia replied that despite his bloated stomach, he forcibly continued his meal.
Of course, even after that, Ferzen kept asking Euphemia the same question.
And each time, Euphemia repeated the same answer, hoping that Ferzen would fall asleep completely drunk.
“Hey, it looks like you’ve been drinking a lot. Lord Ruerg.”
“I see… … ”
“Thank you for enjoying the dinner I prepared for you, but… … If your body is hurt, it’s a sabotage. You have to go down to the capital at the call of the imperial family, so I’d like to get up after doing this.”
“Don’t do that… … ”
With a pale complexion, Euphemia looked at Ferzen, who raised her body.
It feels like your mouth is drying out.
“Eupemia… … Lend me your shoulder.”
“… … ”
His body staggered as if he was about to fall, but at the sound of his pronunciation, Euphemia came closer and supported Ferzen.
“Black!”
As the weight of a strong adult man was completely focused on himself, it was naturally quite difficult for Euphemia, who had been doing hard work.
“Joe, be careful… … !”
Clang–!
Ferzen, who staggeredly touched the vase placed as an ornament in front of the stairs leading up to the hall of the mansion, smashed it.
“ah… … ”
Baron Roberon, who followed him anxiously and anxiously, sighed with a contemplative face, but knowing that Fersen was the second son of the Brutein family, he had no choice but to weep inside.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. After all, this vase is a pair with the one next to it… … It’s only going to go down in value a little bit.”
If it is a piece of work as a pair, in fact, it loses its value completely when one side is broken.
However, Baron Roberon, who struggled to deny that fact, called his servants and ordered them to remove the fragments of the broken vase.
“A couple… … ”
And after hearing those words, Ferzen stopped walking up and slowly approached the vase next to him.
Immediately after, Baron Roberon couldn’t help but—
Clang–!
He lifted the vase and threw it coolly to the floor.
“… … ”
“baron.”
“… … ”
“If it’s a couple, wouldn’t it be beautiful to die together even if they die, and to live together even if they live? In that sense, when one side is broken and loses its value, isn’t it possible to restore the same value when both sides are broken?”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe it was actually acting that was drunk.As much as I could feel it, Ferzen’s words were not twisted.
But can you explain this situation without getting drunk?
From the standpoint of Baron Roberon, there was never enough resentment to be hated by Ferzen, so it only caused more tantrums.
“baron. Am I asking?”
“Oh, you are right… … It is a word.”
“okay… … I’m happy because it’s aesthetically pleasing. The expenses will be billed later to the Bruteins.”
If he had done anything wrong, it would have been a bit of bad luck, with his wife not holding a knife and fork the way Fersen had hoped.
“… … ”
And Euphemia, who watched all of this, saw Ferzen calling her with a gesture, approached her with a paler complexion, and bowed her trembling body to support her.
Cheeky!
Then, when they entered the room assigned by Baron Roberon and were left alone in the pitch-black darkness, Euphemia had the illusion that he was strangling himself with his gaze.
I love this novel.
