chapter 149
149. Organize and prepare (2)
“Did you enjoy it?”
“Fun… ?”
Friel repeats me.
Behind her, I see Elisa, who looks at me and shows quite a bit of embarrassment on her face.
Well, even at the shooting range, you must have thought of my words as nonsense from a man with no blood in his head. If she was like that, it wouldn’t be surprising to see her now.
“It’s fun… Yeah, it was pretty fun. You, not only have a strong scent, but you also have a clear understanding of spirit magic.”
“Scent… ?”
Silently accepting Shione’s wary glare and voice coming from behind me, Friel slowly approaches one step at a time.
However, since Shione’s eyes are wide open, it was difficult to approach too much.
She stops her steps neatly, as if blocked by a wall, as she somewhat closes her distance.
“I never thought that a human being, and a man in particular, could perform such a high level of acrobatics.”
“It’s an honor to see you favorably.”
“That’s why I’m more curious. Is it okay if I ask you something?”
“I am happy to answer any kind of question that I can answer.”
“Good. If you do-“
The goblin’s eyes are shining.
“I wonder how you learned spiritism.”
“That means… ….”
“Did you have a teacher or did you come this far by self-taught? Can you tell me?”
The blond ear-blind comes to ask, lowering her voice.
Well, once she gets into her shoes, she’ll be curious.
Whereas the spirit’s energy can be accumulated and accumulated through innate talent, or a deep scent can be felt through its affinity.
In addition to being born, a lot of trial and error and practice are indispensable for handling that spirit. It is all the more so when it comes to the kind of fancy technology that was just shown.
‘If it was Friel, he would have investigated my background just by looking at it.’
That’s how you showed me greed with special toys and trophies.
If it was the greed of a goblin, he must have done some background research on me.
Certainly, that bastard could not have found a teacher, so you must be wondering how I am skillfully handling elemental magic.
Even if she said that, she must be well aware that the original owner of this body is in no condition to seek her mentor.
I would have asked for her confirmation of her own thoughts.
‘… It’s troublesome.’
I’m self-studying here again, what is it?
I think the longer she speaks, the faster she will expand her expectations of me and the volume of unwanted attention.
It was at that moment that she kept her mouth shut for a moment and thought about the answer to her question.
The moment when Sione and Elisa approach behind us, and soon time will push my back and encourage my answer.
“A ball of fire rose from here—”
A familiar woman with silvery white hair appeared out of nowhere.
Sia Bell Cia Nella looks us in the eye with her sharp-edged sword.
This situation where Friel and I stood quite close, and Elisa following Friel with a hard expression.
And Shione, who is still immature in hiding her emotions, and even when she tries to cover them up, little by little the discomfort of planting them leaks out.
Siabel frowned at the current scene.
“… What kind of situation is this?”
A large number of people could be felt behind her as she said that.
Muscular women who ran neatly and swiftly in stride reveal themselves snoring.
“Siabelle! Is it a raid?”
“I will follow, please order!”
“Oh, wait a minute, those guys over there… ….”
The eyes of the knights are directed towards us.
“Uh… hmm… …. I guess the answer will have to be postponed until later.”
Friel came out for a moment and looked at the shady shoppers, then nodded softly to her.
First of all, it seems to be clearing up their misunderstandings.
* *
“Haa… ….”
Siabel let out a suppressed sigh.
“So, all of the fireballs that just exploded in the sky were caused while I was having a conversation with Mr. Friel Arielt about spiritism. You mean this?”
“Yes, it is.”
“I’m glad, I’m so glad. Right, Ray?”
“… ….”
Siabelle makes a weak laugh and laughs wildly.
She continued with her right hand, brushing her bangs that covered her eyes.
“I am again. Should I call it a lightning strike in the dry sky? Suddenly, the blue sky above the site of the count’s residence was shining red….”
“… ….”
“I thought there was an attack by the remnants of the remaining cultists.”
“… Sorry.”
“Sione, you are the same.”
“Yes, yes…… ?”
“No one said anything to anyone in the gymnasium, and if you saw him use such great magic, you should have stopped him. What if I just stare at you? Do you know how surprised the soldiers at the gymnasium were thanks to that?”
“Ooh… ….”
Siabelle pulled on both of Shione’s cheeks.
Her cheeks stretch like glutinous rice cakes.
It wasn’t until Sia Bell let go of her cheek that she stretched to her side that Shione stroked my cheek and made a sullen expression.
“Since he showed off his spiritual skills so splendidly, there must have been quite a few servants looking outside from the mansion. Is there someone who can tell me something for me?”
Sia Bell then asked the workers and child Nel to explain her situation, who would have been surprised by her driver who approached her.
Siabelle’s gaze, which was watching her back as her knight left, finally moved away from me and Shione.
She calmly gazed at our accomplices, Friel Arielt and Elisa.
Fortunately, that blonde ear-wield seemed to be able to read her mood and situation. Her usual sad smile was erased, and she was facing her with her static expression.
Siabel was staring at Friel, then she opened her mouth slightly.
“You said you were here to give advice on elemental magic to a member of my family.”
“Yes, the energy of the spirit that I feel from him is not unusual. She wanted to help, albeit in a small way….”
And in the end.
A sassy elf. After a while, that stiff neck that didn’t know how to go down would bend and bow her head.
“I didn’t know things would grow this big. I will take this opportunity to apologize.”
Sia Bell couldn’t say anything to Friel, who came out as the author, and she just raised her head again.
“If you tell me in advance about spiritism, I will arrange a separate table for you.”
“Thank you, young lady. However, the advice for the next elemental art is not from the Count’s… I think it will be after getting on the carriage road. There will be nothing for the young lady to worry about in the future.”
“… ….?”
Sia Bell tilted her head gently to her side.
Matcha Road.
Yes, the elves, including Friel Arielt, came from the Great Forest.
It is impossible to stay forever in a foreign county’s family.
It is a fact that it is decided that they will once again go on a faraway horse-drawn carriageway.
“A carriage road?”
Why on earth do you say that you will have contact with Rei about spiritism even after you get on the horse carriage road?
It’s like saying that Ray went to the Great Forest with them.
Siabelle’s expression, which had softened in front of Friel at the lack of information, stiffened again.
“Looking at the reaction… It looks like you haven’t heard from the headmistress yet.”
“Yes. Could you please briefly explain?”
“I asked the head of the count family for help. The head of the household accepted my request, and Lady Sione Cianella and her exclusive servant, Ray, went to the Great Forest with us.”
“Um.”
“To talk more deeply here—”
Friel’s pupils roll.
Her green eyes contain several knights lined up behind Siabelle.
“It’s a pretty important story. There are many eyes to see and ears to hear. I think it would be good to hear the rest of the story from the family head.”
“… Let it be.”
After saying that, Sia Bell took a few steps away from Friel and looked around her for the last time.
Everything is over and the situation has been sorted out. There was no reason to stay here any longer.
Sia Belle once again bit her knight into the gymnasium, then she gave Friel her brief bow of her head.
“If you do, I will go first.”
“Yes, see you next time.”
Friel finally responded to Siabelle with a small smile.
Sia Belle turned her body and came towards us for a moment.
“Shione, Ray. I think it would be good for us to have a separate talk next time. I’ll send Brontë separately later.”
“Okay, sister.”
“You know, we have to keep an eye on Ray so he can’t use this kind of elemental magic again, right?”
“… I will never miss it in my eyes.”
“Good.”
Only then did she show her usual mischievous smile and slowly moved away from her seat.
As her model became smaller and disappeared far away before she knew it, the elves who had been quietly contemplating the situation began to move again.
“Whoa… I was surprised by the sudden arrival of knights. I think it would be better to plan for the future rather than using spirit magic following this atmosphere for no reason…. I’d like to end it like this for today. Did you enjoy Ray’s spirit art?”
“… It was nothing. It is too much praise.”
“It’s too much praise. If another elf sees your spirit art, they’ll say the same thing. Maybe that’s why—”
Friel naturally crossed her arms.
“I’m really looking forward to the time after riding the horse carriage road. If you enter a forest road with fewer people, you will be able to use spirit magic more freely. I’ll be looking forward to it.”
“… ….”
“Now then, shall we go in and prepare for the future? The situation in Daesoorim is the situation. Young Ae and Ray also have to diligently prepare.”
“That word.”
“We elves will be leaving the county within five days at the latest. We will run non-stop through the royal capital to the Marquess of Calia, so the remaining five days.”
Friel loosened his arms.
She creates a warm and gentle tone like her saintess while being greeted by her sunlight that overflows over herself.
“Please organize the remaining work at the count’s house and prepare for the expedition.”
Only 5 days left.
We must prepare to fight far away with those suspicious dwarves.
