I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 89. Everyone makes mistakes (1)

The front gate of the Sephira State Boundary Fortress.

The gatekeepers were nervous at the appearance of a tramp with a giant sword over his shoulder.

The tramp made a gesture of surrender and handed out his business card to the gatekeeper. Seeing the name Keter written on the business card, the gatekeeper asked cautiously.

“What is your relationship with Master Keter?”

To the knight’s question, the tramp said in a polite tone.

“I am Keter-sama’s subordinate, Gyro. I came here because you invited me to Sephira.”

This news was delivered to Keter’s exclusive butler, Zach, who met Gyro to confirm the facts.

“This signature on the business card is definitely the boy’s.”

Gyro easily stayed in Sephira under the pretext of being Kether’s guest.

The first day went smoothly. Although Gyro’s appearance was that of a vagabond, he had a soft tone and polite manners.

The incident happened the very next day.

The gyro, which had been fine until yesterday, suddenly started having seizures.

“Kuaaa!”

Gyro’s screaming voice was full of ferocity. It was like the roar of a wounded beast.

In order to stay sane, he stopped drinking the poison he was drinking, and the withdrawal symptoms were relieved.

Even though he was a guest of Keter, he was an outsider, so there were always soldiers watching him. The soldiers fired blunt arrows to subdue the rampaging gyro.

Whether you shot to subdue or to kill, it practically didn’t matter. The power of the soldiers’ arrows couldn’t pierce even the air currents of aura that Gyro spouts from his body.

“Kwaaa!”

Zyro, who became a beast, lightly lifted the sword and struck it down. It was a devastating blow to the bare ground, but the aftermath was terrifying.

A hole larger than the giant sword was formed, grass was pulled out by the shock wave, and the road was smashed. Even soldiers who had been away for a long time fell and were injured.

“What kind of power is this?”

Of course, Sephira did not look down on Gyro. I could infer that he was from a knight just by looking at him, and since he carried a giant sword lightly, he assumed that he was a 2-star knight.

However, his majesty, which he actually showed off, rivaled that of a 4-star knight.

It was so clear that soldiers alone could not stop Gyro, so the Holy Knights were immediately dispatched.

When the knights filled their arrows with aura and started shooting them, Gyro finally responded to the arrows. He swung his giant sword like a windmill and fired all the arrows.

The knights of Sephira saw their arrows bouncing helplessly, but they continued to shoot without giving up.

did it all day until the gyro is exhausted.

‘Total seven hours, 62 people.’

It was the amount of time it took for the tired Gyro to collapse and the number of articles put in.

“Redeem!”

No matter how much Keter’s guests are, there’s no way I can stand still when they’re making a fuss like this.

But I had no choice but to let it go. This is because a barrier was created from the giant sword that Gyro had inserted into the ground just before fainting.

This barrier created an area protected only by Gyro, and no matter what the Sephira knights did, they could not penetrate it.

In the end, Gasilius, the commander of the Galactic Division, arrived at the scene, looked at the situation, and said.

“Leave it like this. Destroying the barrier puts us at risk.”

Gasilius noticed that Gyro’s sword wasn’t just big, it was a demonic sword.

Also, this barrier was not built to protect Zyro himself, but to protect Sephira.

“Listen, Gyro made moves to avoid people. There was property damage, but no loss of life. He is keeping his reason.”

“It is true that no one was hurt, but the damage to property was carnage level.”

“… You’ll have to ask Master Keter for that.”

This was passed, but no one knew when Keter would reappear. Officially, Keter was supposed to be away on a mission.

Gyro’s runaway continued after that. Even when I was fine, I ran out of control, and when I wanted to be okay, I ran out of control.

“Sir Gasilius is waiting for the young master to return. He came and checked every morning. Today too.”

Keter, who heard the circumstances, nodded with a satisfied face.

“I am doing well.”

“Aren’t we getting along well? Please expel them quickly. Everyone is anxious. I’m afraid that if this happens, the good image you’ve worked so hard to build will all collapse.”

He was infinitely merciful to Keter, but he was strict Zach to everyone else.

“Don’t worry, did you do anything else?”

“There are still a lot of people who are looking for you, Bocchan. Like Sir Gasilius, whom I mentioned earlier, Elder Leganon is also looking for you very vehemently.”

“Oh right. Before I left, someone who was doing Gantt or something came. Didn’t they do anything?”

“It’s not them, young master. Even if the person in question is not in front of you, you must be polite. please. And Sir Gant only checked to see if the young master was there, and didn’t do anything to me.”

“It’s a pity. I was going to go find you right away if you did something stupid.”

“Rather than Sir Gasilius and Elder Leganon, I think it would be better to visit the head of the family first and report to him.”

“Is your father looking for me too?”

Basil, whom Keter knew, couldn’t ask for a report from him. Sure enough, Zach shook his head.

“no. This is my personal opinion, but the young master is receiving the attention of the head of the household. I thought it would be good to continue this trend and gain trust.”

“So, report where I came from and what I did to my father?”

“If you are a member of Sephira, you should. Even if you don’t report directly to the head of the household, you must tell your partner, Luke, or your butler, me. From servants to knights, and even the eldest son, Master Hyssop, he never misses a report. Of course, this does not mean that we will monitor your every move, just to know with good intentions.”

What Jacques said was perfectly correct. Keter knew about it, but that was Sephira’s circumstances.

“If I want to speak, I speak in detail.”

“young master. It is the patriarch, not the young master, who is in charge of this family. I would like you to consider that point… … .”

“If I don’t like my way, my father will tell me to leave. Don’t worry, I’ll leave even if you tell me not to leave then.”

Since the other person was Deacon Zach, it was Keter who would have eaten chestnuts instead of replying if others had said this.

Zach, who knew this well, did not express his opinion recklessly.

‘Brother Keter is like the wind. If you try to suppress it, you really can leave Sephira and stay.’

But since I couldn’t just leave it alone, I tried to talk about it when I had the chance.

“I understand, young man. Do you need anything?”

As if waiting for those words, Keter held out the tooth from her breast pocket.

“Please take care of this kid. As for the side, it hates sunlight and likes blood. Not animal blood, human blood.”

“huh? young master. What are the characteristics of a vampire? … .”

Scared to place the jaggery in Zach’s hand, Keter jumped out the window.

* * *

My partner, Luke, was supposed to follow Keter right away, but he knew where he was going, so he didn’t follow right away and told Zach.

“The other side is fine. vampire… I think he is, but he listens well and is gentle.”

“If you look closely, it looks cute.”

“Sorry Dad, I should have helped earlier.”

When Zach told Keter about the rules unique to the Sephira family, Luke was unable to step forward. It wasn’t because of fear. It was because he didn’t know if he deserved to be part of the story.

Zach said while stroking the back of the well-mannered side with his fingers.

“no. It would have been rather counterproductive if you had also stepped in. I’m fine, so follow me.”

“Even if Keter seems reckless… Of course, in real life, it’s reckless, hahahaha. It was pretty believable.”

“Looks like a lot of things happened in Lawless City.”

“It was definitely the longest week of my life, and it was the most difficult moment. Other people probably won’t believe it?”

“If you have a chance, talk to me tonight. I wonder where Master Keter grew up.”

“yes. I’ll see you tonight.”

While living in the liqueur, Luke did not speak privately with Keter. But I often heard the story of Keter and Daat.

I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop. We went together, and Keter didn’t care much, so Luke didn’t think much of it.

‘I only brought portable weapons. It must have been taken to give it to Blacksmith Vulcanus.’

Like Keter, Luke stepped on the window railing and jumped, only to be startled.

“Ugh, uhh!?”

With only a slight strain on my knees, I was higher than the top of the building.

It’s because my body felt so light when I came back from receiving double gravity from the liqueur.

It wasn’t only that, the amount of oxygen coming in through my nose and mouth was so great that it seemed like I was breathing with my whole body.

Whoops!

Unlike Keter, who landed silently, Luke landed smashing into the ground.

“Was I really this strong?”

It didn’t matter even if I jumped several tens of meters and fell from that height. It felt like landing on fluffy bread.

“The hard work is worth it.”

Luke felt proud. Even just walking, my body moved forward. Even now, how fast would you go if you decided to run? It was Luke who suddenly became curious.

“The smithy is always hot.”

Feeling the heat of the forge, Luke went inside and found Keter.

“Old man-! Do you know what this is?”

“Countryman. where did you get this from? give it away I’ll have to check to see if it’s real.”

“Uh huh. why would you do this Can you see it?”

Keter grabbed a stick the size of a finger with a strong grip. Then a longsword came out of his hand.

Vulcanus, a natural blacksmith, could not hide his excitement.

“Ohh, what a portable weapon! That’s right, but did you bring it to show off?”

Luke sneaked in midway and took a seat next to Keter. Vulcanus confirmed that it was Luke and turned his gaze back to Keter.

“We need to apply the technology of making portable weapons to bows and arrows. You know what it feels like?”

“I was wondering what you were talking about. country boy It’s easier said than done. If the skill can be learned just by disassembling portable weapons, why would portable weapons be made only in the Empire for decades? It is a structure that is automatically destroyed when it is dismantled beyond a certain level, and even the smallest clue of the manufacturing method cannot be found with only the destroyed remains. Give up.”

“Inspired. Don’t give up so easily. I won’t allow it.”

Keter held out another stick. It was a stick that looked bigger and heavier than the Empire’s handheld weapon.

“What else is that?”

At first sight, Keter showed through actions rather than words.

It was a weapon he received after rescuing the Birang tribe in Hakoz Village. It was the source of portable arms.

When the aura was injected into the stick in Keter’s hand, it transformed into a two-meter long sword.

“This, this? no way!”

Even when he saw the rare portable weapon, Vulcanus, who was calm, looked at it first.

“Give it to me, country boy! I want to touch it with my own hands!”

Having lived for hundreds of years, Vulcanus was also well aware of the origins of portable weapons.

Birang metallurgy, shape memory alloy. That was the core technology for making portable arms.

And now, what Keter showed me was the weapon of the Birang tribe.

“You want it? You want to dismantle it piece by piece and see how it was made, right?”

“of course! Come on! I’ll make you a portable weapon as you wish. I can make armor as well as bows and arrows without any problems!”

“Who are you going to make it for?”

“Of course, I will make yours first.”

“After that?”

“what… I’ll make basil’s too. You won’t need him, but as a souvenir.”

“No, no.”

Keter waved her index finger proudly.

“If the old man learns the technique of portable arms, who is it thanks to?”

Vulcan wondered what else Keter was talking about.

“What do you want to hear? It is thanks to you, but understanding and applying it is not something anyone can do.”

“Anyway, didn’t I provide it?”

“Yeah, let’s do it. It’s all thanks to you. So, what?”

“It’s mine.”

“huh?”

Both Vulcan and Luke wondered what Keter was talking about.

“Ownership of portable weapons made by the old man belongs to me.”
