230 – They Say It’s Not Over Until It’s Over! #5
230 – They say it’s not over until it’s over! # 5
The veiled shaman looked around the scroll.
Soon, she chanted a strange spell into a glass bead similar to the size of a child’s head: “Yalubalu rise.”
Wooooow-.
Shining glass beads.
The shaman of the veil said.
“Do you want to know the location of the treasure? Then pay up. I will accept one gold coin as a reward.”
Gold coin.
It refers to a coin made of gold and was quite expensive.
Naru, Cecily, and Hina were daughters of wealthy families in their own right, but she had no business carrying gold coins.
“Naru, there’s no money in your pocket! “Erzebet buys most of the things Naru needs!”
“There’s no need for me, Cecily, to carry around money or anything like that. “If Cecily wants something, people will support her.”
Naru and Cecily were children who did not need to carry money.
In fact, it was the same for Hina.
However, Hina liked ‘money’.
And there was a gold coin in her pocket that she had recently received from her father instead of New Year’s money.
Hina really liked this gold coin.
She cleans and polishes it with her handkerchief once before going to bed.
“Hmm…”
Hina realized today that she was the only one among her sisters who had an idea about money.
So what should I do?
Should I offer Hina’s precious gold coins to her shaman to find her treasure?
A gold coin taken out of one’s pocket and held in one’s hand.
And Hina, who looked back and forth between her shrine maiden and her sisters, finally made a decision.
“Money… It’s a tool for a purpose… ! If I let the tools control me… That’s not possible… !”
Good!
Hina raised her tiptoes and placed a gold coin on her table.
Then, the veiled shaman took the gold coin with a graceful gesture and began reciting a strange spell into her glass bead again.
Pang-!
A glass bead that finally caused a very small explosion.
When the transparent inside began to turn pink like a ripe peach, the shrine maiden placed the bead in Hina’s hand
“Take this. The second hint of the treasure you are looking for can be found through this glass bead.”
It was a very cool glass bead.
Hina said that she had exchanged a mysterious treasure for one gold coin. Even though she doesn’t like money, Cecily likes pretty jewelry, so she said, “That’s a pretty bead!”
Naru, who likes to break ceramics with a genius sense for art, also took notice, saying, “It’s a glass bead that looks easy to break!”
Of course, Hina held her beads in her arms as if she were protecting them from Naru and Cecily.
“… You can’t break it!”
So what should I do with these glass beads?
Hina wanted to ask the veil maiden how to use the beads.
However, when I moved my gaze from her beads and looked at the shaman, the shaman had disappeared from the hut, as if she had never existed in the first place.
“… Where did it go?”
Hina tilted her head as she looked around her cabin.
Then Naru said.
“We’ll meet again later when we return to the mansion!”
“…”
Instead of answering Naru’s story, Hina looked into her bead.
It was a bead that felt somewhat familiar.
I felt like her heart and soul she she were doing the memories more than her head her her her. It is most likely an “Artifact” That operates using magical power.
Hina took a deep breath and then recited her magic like she had learned from Brigitte.
“Guseul, beads…”
Wooooow-.
A bead that emits pink light.
Hina asked with great curiosity.
“Where is the second hint to find the treasure?”
Sussssseu-.
Soon something strange began to appear in the beads.
It was a bird with black fur and a white belly.
“Penguin?”
As Cecily asked, the bird’s name was penguin.
Why does the marble show a penguin?
Soon the intuitive Naru shouted.
“Couldn’t you say go visit the penguins? Let’s go to the zoo!”
The only place near Frisia where you could see penguins were at the zoo. Naru, Hina, and Cecily hurriedly headed to the zoo to see the penguins.
And when I finally arrived at the zoo’s penguin enclosure, I saw penguins waddling on the snowy ice.
“Cute!”
Naru shouted.
Naru liked penguins.
No, actually Naru liked most animals.
But I didn’t really think that the penguin was a hint.
While everyone was feeling puzzled, someone approached the sisters.
It was a huge penguin.
To be precise, it was a person wearing a penguin-shaped doll suit.
“Garot!”
Naru shouted.
Soon the person dressed as a penguin doll trembled and shook her head.
“I am not a Garot, but a ‘Treasure Hunter-Penguin.’ You guys seem to be treasure seekers, since you have marbles, right? “I can help you.”
“Oh wow… !”
Naru was happy, raising her hands high.
It seemed like I had come to the right place.
The treasure hunter penguin said.
“There are 100 animals in this zoo that I have lost. I want you to gather all those children and put them in this enclosure. It will be easy to recognize the animals because they have yellow ribbons tied to their feet.”
“Good! Hina, Cecily, let’s go!”
Naru took the initiative and ran somewhere to find an animal.
Hina also followed Naru, holding her glass bead in her arms.
Now all that remains is Cecily.
“…”
Cecily opened her narrow eyes at the story of the treasure hunter penguin.
Jiii-.
Cecily looked at the penguin doll clothes with narrow eyes.
When the penguin was nervous, “What?” Cecily said.
“Can I hug you once?”
Cecily also liked penguins.
Because penguins look cute and soft.
Soon the treasure hunter penguin and Cecily hugged each other.
# # #
Naru, Cecily, and Hina caught animals scattered throughout the zoo.
Rabbits, squirrels, deer, etc.
The problem was that the animals were widely scattered in the “Safari” Corner.
The “Safari” Corner was a place that opened not long ago, and it was a course where all kinds of wild animals were released into a large area like a real forest, and you could ride around in a magic car and tour.
It is difficult for children to run around a large area and capture animals.
“I can’t do it. Hwiik-!”
Cecily put her her fingers her her to her lips her and whistled. Then, deer came running from somewhere and gathered around Cecily.
Cecily climbed on the back of her deer.
Naru and Hina also rode on the deer with Cecily.
A situation where three sisters all ride on one deer.
While the guests on the safari course were looking at it and thinking it was cute, Cecily drove her deer.
“Let’s go!”
Swish-.
Taking the noose out of her hand, Cecily was soon herding deer and skillfully catching the animals. Already, 99 animals were captured that way.
There was only one last one left, but there was a problem.
This was because the last remaining animal was unusual.
“Everyone, can you see it? That is the legendary octopus bird. It is a creature created to the Phrygian Zoo by Judah and his family, and was hatched from an egg of God found in a pyramid in the desert.”
As the female safari guide explains, the last animal was an octopus.
Even Naru, Hina, and Cecily were in trouble because they couldn’t capture the bird because it flapped its wings and ran away even when a person got even a little closer.
What should I do?
It was a time when both Hina and Naru were in trouble because they had no solution.
Cecily seemed to remember something.
“Moving stealthily and attacking your opponent is the basics of hunting…”
The hunting method she learned from her mother from a young age.
That began to emerge in Cecily’s memory
Cecily didn’t go hunting because she didn’t want to sweat or get her clothes dirty, but now for some reason she felt itchy and wanted to go hunting.
Zek-.
Cecily took off her shoes and headed to the mud-filled hunting ground.
Cecily moves stealthily, raising her tiptoes toward the octopus nesting in the middle of the mud.
━Cecile Bigi, cat steps!
Cecily was able to approach the octopus and hug him by the neck without making a single sound. The swan-sized octopus struggled at first, but soon became calm.
“Gotcha! This Cecily succeeded in hunting the legendary bird that no one could catch! “No hunter can hunt better than Cecily!”
Cecily exclaimed, feeling happy.
The children soon put the last game into the cage, and “Treasure Hunter-Penguin” Praised them greatly.
“Very good! All 100 fish were successfully caught! But it ended up being really messy!”
Zek-.
The penguin took out a handkerchief from his arms
He tried to wipe the mud off Cecily’s face with it, but Cecily shook her head.
“You can just wash it later!”
This was behavior that was uncharacteristic of Cecily, who was always picky and concerned about cleanliness and neatness. Watching that, her sister Hina said, “Cecily, grow up…” ” “You did it…” ” !” He exclaimed.
Then Cecily responded bluntly with a grin.
“Because I’m 7 years old now!”
These children were indeed 7 years old.
Come on!
The children hugged each other with bodies covered in dirt.
This time, Cecily didn’t get angry about getting her dress dirty.
The treasure hunter penguin gave the third hint to the children.
“Follow the eight-colored bird.”
Pot-.
A hunter penguin who flew the octopus he caught back into the sky.
Soon the children were flapping their beautiful wings and running to chase the bird flying in the sky.
The eight-colored, mysterious bird flapped its wings gracefully as if matching the speed of the children.
When the strange process continued for about 20 minutes, the place where the children arrived was a run-down street in Frisia that used to be called 61st Street.
The 5-story building is the tallest in this place, which has now been redeveloped and is filled with all kinds of research facilities. An octopus bird sat on top and cried loudly.
The children stood in front of the building.
When Naru knocked on the door, it immediately opened and someone appeared. She was a woman wearing a suit.
“Ouch! “Mom!”
Naru raised her hand.
Then the woman in the suit shook her head.
“My name is Brigit, your servant. The master is waiting for you, the guests led by the eight-colored bird. Then inside─.”
The children followed Brigitte into the building. The building was full of all kinds of magic tools and strange-looking scientific experiment tools.
What caught Naru’s eye the most was the countless jars lined up. These jars were so cool that I was filled with the desire to break them.
“This place… “It’s a place where jars are made!”
Naru shouted, like someone who had finally realized her truth.
As Naru said, this was not a place to make pots, but the workshop of the terrifying mad scientist “Cinderella.”
Brigit, the servant, said.
“My master, ‘Ash Covered Cinderella’, was actually a kind-hearted girl more than anyone else, but after being mistreated by her stepmother and sisters who were not related by blood, her mind became abnormal and she went crazy.”
Zek-.
The children finally arrived at the top floor.
The children were able to see a girl with gray hair looking down from the window on the top floor. He looked like a cool scientist wearing a white coat.
However, her eyes covered by her glasses she were cold, and the syringe in her hand was scary because the needle was very thick and large.
Because children are instinctively afraid of syringes!
