Helmut
Episode 319
“It would be a good idea to change your appearance first. Too much attention… … .”
Alea furrowed her brows. Even if the magic that attracts people has lost its effectiveness, the appearance that does not resemble that person does not go anywhere.
Moreover, Helmut is standing next to her. When the two stood side by side, the contrast was as clear as black and white, making them stand out even more.
At the entrance to the city, in a deserted place, the two changed their appearance.
Helmut became a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, similar to the old Hyde, and Area’s hair color became light purple, and her expression became quite normal.
It was natural that there was a difference in the changes between the two. Because the magic you cast on yourself can be stronger with less magical power.
“This also stands out… … Duke Fidelis might be able to detect stronger magic than this. “I should have changed my appearance a long time ago.”
Area muttered as she lifted her robe and put it into subspace.
The clothes worn underneath were luxurious travel clothes and were not very noticeable.
But at the moment, it didn’t seem like it would be of much use because Helmut, who stood out more than any other clothes, was by his side.
Helmut asked her.
“Is there somewhere you want to go?”
“Yes.”
Surprisingly, the answer came right away. And the moment he heard her answer, Helmut’s brow twitched.
“bookstore. Fidelis is a city ruled by a family of wizards. Because the city follows the lord’s inclinations. Of course, the bookstore within the territory will be quite large. “I wonder how bookstores in this area are different from other areas?”
‘Why am I curious about that?’
Helmut was truly curious.
He was the type of person who made it mandatory to sit at his desk and read a book, not the type who enjoyed it.
If he had to choose between reading a book for 10 hours or swinging a sword, Helmut would happily choose to sweat and swing the sword.
However, it wasn’t that I didn’t know that Area liked things like studying and books. Although she had half forgotten.
“Let’s go quickly.”
Area looked slightly excited. She didn’t seem interested in hearing any other opinions from Helmut. In fact, she didn’t seem to have much interest in what was happening in Green Cana.
If we had to be honest, it was Sian’s and Rodril’s business, so it wasn’t her business.
Even if he stays for a while, Area doesn’t necessarily have to be on his side.
“… … okay.”
Helmut nodded impatiently. Area knew exactly where bookstores were located in these cities.
Soon they entered a large bookstore in Fidelis. The bookstore was quiet, but the staff seemed very busy as someone was giving instructions and asking questions.
Inside the bookstore, where the walls were filled with books, the smell of paper was in the air.
It was a bit dark inside, with some light blocked to prevent books from getting damaged.
Area quickly fell in love with reading. Soon books were piled up in her basket next to her, one by one.
Helmut watched her for a moment, and then he also looked through the book.
Elaga yawned on Helmut’s shoulder.
[Why are you reading something like that? It smells strange. It’s a nice day, so why not go outside for a bit?]
That’s exactly what Helmut wanted to say.
But he also knew that what Area preferred most was the type of date where the two of them would sit side by side and read a book.
In this respect, tastes are truly different.
After some time, an employee approached and spoke to Helmut.
“customer! “You are not allowed to bring animals here.”
His eyes looked as if they were accusing him of, ‘This person has no concept!’ Before Helmut made a move, Elaga spoke to Area first.
[Hey, Area. Animals are not allowed here. I have to go out, so you take care of this weak guy. Understand?]
Elaga’s eyes sparkled brightly. It was a chance to get out of the bookstore.
Anyway, he was there to protect Helmut. He didn’t think there was much danger here.
Area took her eyes off the book and glanced in that direction.
“Of course.”
The eyes showed no concern at all about what Elaga, who was freed, would do in the village.
[Then don’t wander around talking about topics you’re weak on, just stick here! Good luck! Phew!]
“… … .”
Elaga walked out of the bookstore, earning a bit of envy and anger from Helmut.
Sunlight was pouring down. It was a nice day for a walk.

“The weather is really sunny today.”
Teresa reached the downtown area. Some people who recognized her bowed their heads and greeted her.
She was the daughter of Duke Fidelis, walking proudly in a wizard’s robe. In this Fidelis, she is like a princess.
Fidelis not only had good security, but she could defeat most people on her own.
‘The problem is that Black Hawk will establish itself in Fidelis.’
They also said that they are being educated to strictly follow discipline in order to be reborn from yin to yang.
But where would that place go? It is a group that originates from hoodlums, thugs, and criminals. Because of that, it was certain that it could be grasped from above.
‘I promised, so I can’t help it, but I’m worried.’
But Blackhawk’s business wasn’t important right now.
Teresa thought about Green Cana and Rodrile.
I didn’t know that Rodril, who cared about the people of Green Carna, would be quite upset right now.
‘is not it? They are wizards too. And Sian too.’
As Teresa was walking down the street, lost in thought, Elaga was puzzled by the change in the situation.
He was a beloved figure in Green Cana. A pretty, fluffy cat. He was upset because no matter where he went, they couldn’t give him anything to eat.
Among them, there were only a few foods he could eat.

‘What kind of situation is this?’
But here, in Fidelis, it was completely different. When he wandered around a fish shop, he treated him like a stray cat and started throwing stones at him, so the kids chased after him and tried to catch him.
“and! It’s a thief cat! Catch it!”
“Let’s catch him and hang him!”
“Let’s take off the fur too! “I’m making a scarf!”
“What does a cat taste like when roasted?”
Elaga, who was suddenly chased by young humans, found the current situation to be absurd.
‘These pea-sized things!’
Even though it has the appearance of a cat, its physical abilities do not go anywhere, so a single strike with its front paw could knock its head off.
However, he was able to come to the human village on the condition that he not cause an accident.
My hair stood on end. It’s not because I’m afraid. It was a situation that stimulated her instincts.
Elaga is the ruler of the Forest of Pahe and the central area. He had never been chased like this by a small object since he was a child he couldn’t even remember.
‘It’s not something a monster would do to tolerate something like this.’
Isn’t throwing stones definitely an attack? Elaga thought as she ran, flexibly avoiding the slings.
Regardless of whether the opponent is a child, it would be enough to make them pay by tearing their whole body apart.
A ferocious spirit bloomed.
What he found cute was Sarah, not the violent human children swarming around.
Elaga thought she liked human children quite a bit, but today she realized that wasn’t the case.
‘It’s true that Helmut was cute.’
When I took a quick look, the surrounding area was all walls, so there was no place to climb.
Elaga decided to outrun them as soon as they got out of here.
“There, catch it!”
“What are you guys doing over there?”
The moment I turned the corner, a sonorous voice rang out. The children paused.
Teresa, who instantly grasped the situation, asked in a dignified voice befitting a duke’s daughter.
“Abusing animals within the territory? “Which house do you belong to?”
Teresa’s face was known throughout Fidelis. Her children, who witnessed her, flinched at her pale face.
“She’s a witch!”
“A witch has appeared!”
One child shouted first and turned his back, while Teresa’s expression turned cold.
“Who is the witch? Spoiled things. “I will find out who your parents are and make them pay a painful price for this.”
A nobleman and a wizard. It was a condition under which one could punish without hesitation even if the other person was a child.
Teresa was especially known for her personality at Greta Academy.
But no matter what she muttered, Elaga liked her.
‘Hmm, a human helping me. It feels new.’
He looks like a wizard and has reddish-brown hair. She was quite a beauty. Elaga stood in front of her and made her noise.
“Meow.”
In an instant, Teresa’s expression softened.
“Oh my, how. What a pretty cat. The fur is really neat, but who raised it? How did it end up in a place like this? Are you okay? Let’s see.”
She stretched out her hand and gently picked Elaga up.
Elaga, who had accidentally allowed the woman’s touch, looked at her in slight confusion.
“Meow?”
“Yes, yes. Where is your master? It’s not abandoned, right? “Would you like to take a look?”
Teresa held out her hand towards Elaga. By reading her memories from Elaga, she was going to find the owner of this white cat.
But immediately, Elaga felt a sense of danger and jumped out of her arms.
A wizard will feel a repulsion when casting a spell on Elaga. It is a repulsive force that cannot exist in an ordinary cat.
Fortunately, Teresa was not at the level where she could see through Heike’s spell.
Duke Fidelis would have immediately noticed that Elaga was no ordinary cat.
‘Oh, he was a wizard, right? ‘I almost got into big trouble.’
This woman. She seems to be a rumored sorceress within Fidelis, as the children are screaming at her and calling her a witch.
Teresa asked anxiously, approaching Elaga who quickly distanced herself from her.
“Oh my, where are you going? “Do you know the way home?”
Elaga thought for a moment and then answered.
“Meow!”
“You mean you know?”
“Meow.”
“Does the cat understand? that’s interesting. Then, do you want to go first? “I’ll watch your back.”
I went for a walk anyway. There was still time.
As Teresa moved her hand, Elaga began to move forward.
Teresa tilted her head but followed Elaga. Elaga headed straight to the bookstore.
I’ve already taken off the crane once. I didn’t feel like wandering around town anymore.
In the meantime, there were people who saw Elaga and tried to touch him, but when they saw Teresa standing behind her and rolling her eyes, they immediately pretended not to notice and pretended not to notice.
went on the road
Elaga, who had been moving forward bravely for a while, stopped at some point. Teresa asked.
“Are you all here? But here… … .”
