Helmut
Episode 313
Like Elaga, who enjoys cat life, Igrel was also finding her own pleasure.
Pink hair and crimson eyes. Her visible beauty was noticeable even from a distance.
Plus, she is an incredible beauty. It’s hard to find one in a rural village like this, or even in a city.
“wow!”
Every time Ygrel passed by on the road, exclamations came out from those around him. There was also someone who bumped into her as she was coming out of her alley and knocked her basket out of her hand.
Naturally, a great deal of whispering followed.
“Who is that woman? Are you Rodril’s guest?”
“You should have seen it yesterday! “The guests who came this time are no joke!”
“I heard they were all handsome men, pretty women, and had extravagant eyes?”
“Yeah, everyone did that except for Xian.”
The last one sounded particularly sad to the person involved.
The outpouring of exclamation became annoying, so Igrel finally grabbed one person and asked. He really grabbed him by the back of his neck.
‘What kind of woman has such a strong grip!’
Ygrel asked vaguely. It was a half-threatening tone.
“Why do you make such unpleasant noises at people?”
“Oh, no… … “Because you are so beautiful.”
The young man answered in a foolish tone. He always cheered loudly, and when he was actually grabbed by Grell, even his ears turned red.
“Beauty? “So are you interested in me?”
“How dare I… … .”
The corner of Ygrel’s mouth lifted up.
“You’re a spineless male. “If you had such a beautiful female, wouldn’t you want to possess her?”
The young man thought that no matter how beautiful the other person was, it was not right. The attitude is so bold that it’s even scary.
“Could it be that I’m not your type?”
“Ah, uh… … ! She is a beauty who overcomes the barriers of taste… … I’m married! My wife and child… … !”
The young man, who was neither a wife nor a lover but only a woman he had a crush on, took a non-existent wife and child on a whim and attached them to him.
“Hmm, really? “You don’t mess with an owned male.”
Ygrel let the young man go. No, I threw it away.
thud! The young man who was hit on the butt was so frightened that he quickly jumped out of his seat and ran away. It was as if he had been lifted and released from the hands of an enormous being.
“It’s boring.”
Ygrel clicked his tongue. Maybe it’s because it’s a small town. He is a male with no ambition and is corrupt.
Since ancient times, strength grows in a highly competitive environment. It would be nice to go to a city full of humans, but for now I had to stay here.
‘That’s not fun. Where should I look for another guy?’
Somehow, Ygrel was closer to the purpose of ‘defeating humans’ rather than the purpose of ‘seducing humans’.

Elaga, who had been playing in the village all day, placed something down in front of Sian’s door.
At that time, Sian’s younger sister, Sienna, who had just opened the door and came out, let out a loud scream and ran back inside.
The whole family heard her screams and ran out the door.
Sian, who came out of the house, frowned and picked up what Elaga had left.
“Elaga, what is this?”
What Elaga put there was a rat corpse.
A very large and plump rat that looks like it lives in the mountains.
It must have died as soon as it was struck with its front paw, but it didn’t appear to have any scratches.
[I heard that cats show their s*x by catching game. I caught it while I was staying here. Since it is given to you by the customer, please be grateful.]
Ella responded in an arrogant tone.
Elaga was sitting there leisurely, as if waiting to see whether Sienna would run away screaming or not.
Xian said, shaking the rat corpse.
“no… … I think you’re a real cat. You don’t have to give me these things. “Sienna was surprised.”
[Isn’t it the right size for humans to eat? Everyone liked it when I brought them game.]
Elaga asked curiously. She was like that when she raised Helmut, but she was also Ella, who hunted and supplied food to mother and daughter every day.
It wasn’t that easy to find food in the forest of Pahe, so I was happy to catch something that looked soft.
It was Elaga’s pleasure to see humans eating the game they had caught.
Xian touched his forehead.
“Usually humans don’t eat rats unless they’re about to starve to death, right?”
[okay? Then let me go.]
At that moment, the rat that was being held in Xian’s hand suddenly began to struggle and show its teeth. Snap!
“Wow!”
Xian was shocked and let go. The rat that landed on the floor ran quickly and disappeared somewhere. Elaga meowed dissatisfied.
[I knocked it out to the best of my ability and brought it back fresh, but tsk tsk. What do you choose about the human subject? I will eat whatever you give me.]
“What are you talking about? Stop making remarks that ignore humans.”
My shocked heart cannot be comforted. Isn’t biting a rat and placing it in front of your house almost like a curse?
It was a good thing that there was no need to fill the corpse with a dead rat.
[You, Helmut’s friend, are climbing higher and higher? I’m ignoring it because I think I’m safe! I’m going.]
Meow! Elaga snorted and walked away quietly. She seemed to be going to sleep in a basket she found conveniently near the village.
Elaga had completely adapted to cat life, and her habits got worse because everyone told her she was pretty.
Helmut, who came running after hearing Sienna’s scream, looked shocked when he saw the series of scenes.

Anyway, he was the one who decided to manage Elaga. He had an accident, but it was a minor accident.
Xian saw him and waved. For some reason, he had a strange smile on his face.
“Hey, did you have a good time with Helmut?”
Helmut immediately denied it.
“It’s not a date.”
“okay? I know that? The forest around here is teeming with spirits. A spirit mage would have a general idea of what’s going on around here. Of course, it wasn’t my intention to find out. I just heard that you and Area walked into the woods together. The atmosphere was really nice, right? “If that’s not a date, what is?”
“It’s not a date. “I guess the spirit lied to you.”
“Wow, Helmut. Spirits don’t lie. “You’re so good at lying so calmly now.”
“I’m just going.”
You can avoid unfavorable conversations. Helmut immediately turned his back as if there was no need to say anything more. But then,
“Helmut, just a moment.”
Terra, who was with me, caught him and stopped him.
“Is there a problem.”
“Good for you. “You have a place to go with me.”
When she glanced at Sian, he quickly entered the house and closed the door. Sweet. Only then did she open her mouth.
“Come with me, let’s go meet the earth spirit of Rodril, who made a contract with me.”
She added with a smile on her face.
“My spirit wants to see you.”
Helmut hesitated for a moment. He was traumatized by being called somewhere alone.
The hurt inflicted by someone you trusted can last such a long time. Even though she was the mother of her friend Xian, she couldn’t let go of her guard.
But the Helmut of then and the Helmut of now were different. At that time, Helmut was so weak that he could not protect himself.
If Helmut had been intact at the time, Helmut would have broken through the trap and escaped.
“It’s not far from here. If you don’t trust me, you can take the sword. And if something happens, your guardian won’t know about the disturbance. “What are you worried about?”
Terra spoke in a soft tone. She also understood Helmut’s experiences.
“no. “Let’s go.”
Helmut obediently followed her. Because the sword was always worn at the waist.
Terra walked ahead, not through the village, but along the small path that led behind Sian’s house.
I must have walked up for about ten minutes. Helmut suddenly felt a strange sensation. His vision brightened and the air suddenly became clear.
As if I had suddenly stepped through a door and entered another space. Dizziness that feels like your senses are twisted and your limbs are being crushed.
And in the next moment, Helmut realized. He knew he had entered the realm of something.
My hand automatically went to my waist. Helmut barely resisted the urge to draw his sword and swing it.
Terra gazed thoughtfully at him and whispered.
“It is a space for spirits. “It may be unpleasant, but please bear with me.”
Her soft voice relieved the tension. Helmut blinked.
The creepy feeling that had taken over him disappeared, and his surroundings came into view.
A clearing in the forest. Light was shining through the lush leaves. A soft and dreamy light. The light seemed to fall from the sky, illuminating the large stone monument in the middle of the clearing.
A pattern carved in the middle of the stone. Helmut immediately recognized that the softly shining thing was a letter meaning the spirit of the earth.
“The spirit wanted to see you. I guess there is something you want to say. “Seeing as how he wanted to call you here, it seems like he wanted to tell only you without telling me.”
“I am… … “What should I do?”
Helmut looked down at the tombstone glowing with soft light. Spirits are not beings from the material world, so they are different from monsters like Elaga. But this enormous energy… … . The most powerful creature Helmut had ever seen was Elaga.
However, he has never encountered a being whose power surpasses him.
‘Lumen said that.’
It is said that the sacred barrier is the lumen itself. It was a similar feeling to the one he felt from Lumen.
This earth spirit is perhaps a divine being similar to Lumen. Isn’t it said to be the most powerful spirit on earth?
“Put your hand on the headstone. Then he will tell you.”
Terra looked a little worried. She had never brought anyone here who wasn’t an elemental mage.
It was a situation I had never experienced before, where the spirit of the earth came forward and called someone like this.
Spirits can only speak to spirit wizards.
Therefore, when you want to convey your will to someone, you speak to them through a spirit wizard.
Calling someone to the space where the main body resides and talking to them directly means excluding the spirit wizard who should be in the middle.
Even Terra could not understand the intention.
‘why… … .’
However, spirits are not beings with evil will.
Terra believed that the Earth Spirit would not harm Helmut.
And even the earth spirit she had contracted with could not harm Helmut unless she wanted to.
And Helmut’s moving hand stopped on the tombstone. She was quiet.
