chapter 33
Chapter 9 Menosorphs (7)
“Frondier is in danger!”
Lisa’s mansion.
Those were the words Cybel spoke out as soon as she met Elodie.
“Oh, what?”
Elodie, of course, did not understand.
Everything was so sudden.
At first, Elodie had hardly ever talked to Cybel. When we meet face-to-face on the way, it’s all to say hello.
We know each other only by name because we are so famous.
However, the person whom he has never talked to comes to his house and mentions the name of ‘Frondier’.
“What are you talking about?”
“That, so… … .”
When Elodie interrogated, Cybel briefly delivered the story.
“──Hmm.”
After hearing all of Cybel’s story, Elodie touched her lips as if thinking.
Meanwhile, Cybel seemed to calm down a little while explaining.
“Of course, I don’t know if Frontier is in danger right now. Just because it’s a target doesn’t mean it’s going to cause immediate harm. Still, if you don’t know… … .”
“Nope.”
Elodie shook her head.
“Maybe it’s dangerous now. Frontier.”
“What?!”
“If the Indus really targeted Frontier, they wouldn’t miss a situation where Frontier was alone.”
“How do they know? That Frontier is alone now.”
“Some of them are taming animals. He must have been caught in that watch.”
Elodie knew the gaze that had been watching her before.
At first, she didn’t even notice. Because it was so thin that it could not be detected by mana detection.
But if it’s not a day or two, it goes on for weeks or months.
Before sensing mana, he feels the ‘gaze’.
‘I’m reluctant to kill animals, so I didn’t do anything special, so I left it alone.’
Doing such a tedious thing
Elodie’s eyes narrowed.
“Well, then what? Where did Frontier go?”
“That’s the problem.”
I don’t know what Cybel was expecting.
Elodie It was difficult for her to guess where Frontier had gone.
Even if you look good now, you can’t say that you’re close.
I don’t know if it was a long time ago
‘… … A long ago.’
As I thought about it, there was a place that came to my mind. A cottage, an annex of the Roach family, where the two played together when they were young.
But did Frontier really go there? A place I haven’t looked at in years.
Memories of the past come to mind
The immature self told Frontier, ‘Fron~ Fron!” The one who roamed and chatted,
“ah.”
I suddenly felt bad. Rescuing Frontier is not at all exciting.
Die, Frontier.
“Why, why?”
“Nope. Shall we go right away?”
“Do you think you know where it is?”
“Roughly.”
At Elodie’s words, Cybel’s face turned red.
Elodie looked at it for a moment.
Cybel is so happy that she can find the Frontier.
… … To Frontier, or to Frontier, no.
It’s because Cybel is so kind.
“Okay, how are you doing? Are you driving?”
Cybel was restless, as if showing her impatient mind.
Elodie grabbed Cybel’s waist.
“no.”
“yes?”
“This is faster.”
and.
“Huh? Wow!!”
The two flew.
Cybel screamed as she saw her move away from the ground in an instant.
“What, what is this?! flying magic?! ‘wing’?”
“No, a little higher than that.”
“Wow!”
Elodie flew towards the hut holding the cybel.
It was a memorable first flight for Cybel.
and that feeling.
‘Wow, it’s heavy… … !’
The body is heavy because of wind and gravity.
Because she’s not flying by herself.
It wasn’t pleasant for a first flight.
* * *
“That’s how I came. Voila, isn’t it great?”
Cybel said while drawing a V with a proud expression.
I answered.
“… … uh. Really great. thank you.”
I had no choice but to say that.
I can only thank her for taking care of me and running around in situations where I wasn’t even sure I was in danger.
But when Cybel heard my answer, she became dazed again.
“──Uh, huh? No, it’s nothing… … .”
Something creeps in the voice.
Why is it not a big deal?
Isn’t that great? You just brag about yourself.
“Who is that kid?”
Elodie looked at the child I was carrying and asked.
“The younger brother of one of them.”
“Why are you here?”
“It’s my hostage, and it’s their hostage.”
“yes?”
They both tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand what I was saying.
I said with a bitter smile.
“I had this kid play the crying smoke and called me in, but as he got close to me, one of them fired an arrow.”
“What? Are you your colleague’s younger brother?”
“okay. what a colleague I thought he was a hired mercenary.”
When he answered Cybel’s question, Elodie’s eyes quickly became cold.
“… … May I shoot an arrow?”
“no.”
“why? I shot that too.”
“If you shoot, everyone will die. What is one foot?”
The arrow Elodi shoots is one of the five gods, Rudra’s ‘Storm Poetry’.
Shooting something like that won’t just kill people, it will change the terrain here.
When a person who is new to this area visits the area while looking at the map, it changes to such a degree that they say, ‘This map is stupid.’
“Then are you okay now?”
Cybel asked in a worried tone.
I shrugged.
“Well, there’s an Elodie.”
“what? Are you going to leave the rest to me?”
“You don’t have to. Their purpose is to turn me into a murderer and bury me. That only works if I’m the only one here. If there’s Elodie, they’re at a disadvantage. Even if Constell’s teachers don’t believe me, they will believe you.”
Serp’s continued use of this little boy makes me feel like he’s trying to turn me into a murderer.
Maybe by now Serp was trying to make it look like I had kidnapped this child.
It would have been easier if I had been here now, and to let people know that the ‘good organization’ called Indus was looking at me badly.
‘Maybe that’s what Serp pointed out to Cybel for. If I let people know that Indus has targeted me, the people around me will think I have a problem.’
However, Elodie has a reputation that is higher than that of Cybel, and above all, has the power to win even if all of them attack.
“The problem is boy. You should wake up first.”
I put down the child I was carrying.
Elodie put her hand in front of the child’s face.
After a brief flash of mana, the child slowly opened her eyes.
The child looked around blankly.
“… … ah.”
When I looked at my face, I seemed to have realized the situation.
He looked at Cybel and Elodie with frightened eyes.
“don’t worry. They are my colleagues.”
… … I was hoping that this would be reassuring to the child, but luckily it seemed to be.
I asked.
“By the way, I don’t know your name. What is your name?”
“… … Rockbell.”
“Are you Grovel’s younger brother?”
The child nodded slightly.
body is shaking Confusion and fear will still mix your body.
“You can just send him to the guys. One of them is his older brother?”
“If you send me back like this, I will be held hostage again.”
“… … no way. Shall I let him go?”
Of course, Grovel won’t leave it alone.
… … If it’s a Serp I know, maybe.
“Then let’s move. Isn’t it best not to meet them?”
Cybel said so.
I shook my head. Elodie must have thought the same.
“late.”
In my words, it’s as if the timing was measured.
“──I’ve been looking for it for a while.”
The unpleasantly friendly voice was heard again.
There is a tamer who spies by Serp’s side. Running away is useless anyway.
Serp’s voice was heard, but not seen. It’s hidden inside that forest.
The growing popularity and the sound of footsteps. They seemed to be hiding and besieging us.
“Don’t move. Frontier, Cybel.”
Elodie said lowly.
If you can detect her mana, you can get a rough idea of where they are.
Judging from Elodie’s tense state, it can be said that their siege is complete.
“──Serf Daniel! Give up now!”
Elodie exclaimed.
“Now you know it’s useless! It’s unreasonable to frame Frontier! I’ll be a frontier’s witness!”
Elodie, you’re good.
Although I said it a while ago. Anyway.
“Yes. That must have been wrong. I didn’t know Miss Cybel could do this much.”
Serp still speaks while hiding in the woods.
Do you not want to show up for a while?
“So I am going to kill you all here.”
“… … What?”
At Serp’s words, Elodi asked as if doubting his ears.
yes, that’s the guy
The purpose of ‘Indus’ is to increase the influence of commoners. Behind it, the more dangerous word ‘revolution’ is contained, but on the surface, Indus is still on the side of justice. The ‘revolution’ is still too early for them.
However, Serp Daniel, his personal purpose is different.
‘Aristocratic hater. Serp Daniel.’
After the game of Etius, Serp is branded as a famous criminal. He initially joined the Indus in order to have a proper justification for killing a nobleman.
And little by little, he builds up a track record in the Indus, and goes along with the revolution that explodes someday.
Serp usually doesn’t come forward.
He decides on a ‘fake leader’ to show to other people, and he secretly steals from behind.
‘The problem is that this is just prior knowledge.’
I never fought Serp while playing Etius. In the end, the revolution failed, and Serp was captured by the investigation team and sent to ‘Tayburn’s Wall’. I heard that the owner of that place, Reidwe Urpa, suffered hardship.
A situation where he doesn’t know his abilities or skills.
‘But, anyway, can Serp defeat Elodi?’
Serp’s face is invisible, but his voice is so peaceful. Even in this situation with Elodie, as if he was sure of his victory.
how?
There are only a handful of people who can defeat Elodie.
“Rockbell.”
Serp suddenly called out Lokbell’s name.
Rockbell, who was crouching next to me, suddenly hardened.
“Poke the Frontier.”
Whoops!
“… … !”
──The situation was later.
First of all, for me, the pain was so intense that I lost my mind.
flanks, yes.
Stabbed by a knife, Rin, Gun-
While they were collapsing, what they saw were the bewildered eyes of Cybel and Elodie.
On the other hand, it was a figure of Rockbell standing with a dagger completely out of focus.
* * *
drowsiness consciousness.
From that sinking consciousness, I struggled to wake up.
a sick bastard.
Do you pass out because you got hit with a knife?
wake up!
wake up!
A huge bubble of unconsciousness comes rushing in, and it barely catches the consciousness like a thread.
And all sorts of memories of the past are rushing in.
──I hate Elodie.
──Why are you making it hard for me by my side?
-Why are you always smiling in front of me?
—Why are you always kind to me?
—Yes, I know. It’s because you have the power.
―Because you have so much power and talent, you naturally laugh when you see a guy like me!!
Is this Frontier’s memory?
The hatred, inferiority and displeasure he possessed overturned me.
Yes, because I am a frontier.
It was as if a hole had been forcibly blocked. His memories pour like mud.
—Die, Elodie.
– Fall into everything and die in despair.
-This is my truth.
– These are my honest words without lies.
Frontier’s memories gradually become clearer.
A certain scene was played in front of my eyes like a movie film.
Frontier meets someone in the hut.
Wearing fluttering robes, it’s impossible to tell the gender apart.
As he whispered something to Frontier, Frontier interpreted the ancient language as if possessed.
Fragments of that interpretation come in as if injected into me.
At last, seeing a spell book that had been fully interpreted, Frontier trembled with joy.
—With this, Elodie’s divine power… … !
Even the joy and ecstasy I felt.
As if I, not Frontier, hate Elodie.
Just like I want to destroy Elodie’s powers.
Like I’m really happy with the plan.
… … But.
“Shut up… … !”
too casually.
After all, I am not a frontier.
Since I’m not a Frontier, I’ve always felt guilty in my heart. Because I stole Frontier’s life.
Either way, lazy or incompetent, it must be his whole life.
No matter how his life ends, he’ll be worth it.
But if the frontier tries to kill a person.
If you want to put someone innocent in misery.
I also have nothing to hide.
Frontier interpreted the ancient language. To destroy Elodie’s divine power.
But that doesn’t matter to me.
I should have studied hard because of my hatred for Elodie. I just use it according to my taste.
‘Memories of interpreting ancient words, I will write them down.’
Because ‘Frondier de Roach’ will live like this from now on.
I will struggle with all my might in a world destined for destruction.
Give up, Frontier.
you are the worst villain
I re-restored Frontier’s memories, re-recorded, and re-recorded endlessly. He put all his knowledge into his head.
It wasn’t about learning new knowledge. As if recalling a moment I had forgotten, I quickly absorbed the knowledge.
I remembered what Dawood said a while ago.
– Then there is a possibility that this magic circle is an ‘ancient fish’.
That’s what I said.
Menosorpo is said to be composed of ancient languages.
Those signs, patterns, and rules of arrangement are said to be ancient words.
After absorbing all of Frontier’s knowledge, I faced Menosorpo’s magic circle in the workshop.
‘… … I see.’
I get it.
What is Menosorphos. how to use it.
The moment you realize everything,
I opened my eyes.
