Episode 574
-It won’t be easy to become friends with a difficult race like the Sirens.
Giants were not a race that was easy to get along with, but that was largely due to their physical characteristics.
There were no people as simple as giants if they could endure such physical characteristics.
However, Siren was very temperamental.
It could be seen just by looking at the fact that among the various races living in the vast nature of Einrogard, there were very few races that were friendly with Sirens.
– Well, I became friends with a giant.
The boy in front of me had a history of becoming friendly with giants, and was a boy with a rare friendliness.
Sometimes there was a wizard like this.
A wizard who becomes a friend of nature with a warm heart and good soul instead of subjugating nature with cool-headed wisdom and powerful magic.
Usually, these wizards were loved by the essence of nature, that is, spirits.
-Perhaps you will be loved by the spirits as well?
“Uh, well, um, I’m kind of on that side.”
Lee Han slipped one hand into his sleeve and deeply stuffed the baby basilisk. The dozing basilisk hissed in protest.
-It’s good that you’re friends with the Sirens. Please go and do me a favor. The giants are trying to pass through the passage, so I need your help to avoid unnecessary collisions.
“yes. All right.”
Lee Han answered confidently.
The spirits’ conscience prickled a little as they answered, but not the Sirens.
Because we were really close.
Of course, there was a bit of a misunderstanding when we first met.
Because I thought it was an aquatic creature that had to be caught for Professor Lightning Walk’s test.
But after that, we defeated Mac together and solved the Skeleton Principal’s rainstorm picnic together…
‘This is how close we are.’
Unlike the spirits, these were really close friends.
Lee Han was confident and went down the aisle.
* * *
“Are you there?”
-♪↗♪↗↗!
-♬♩↗↗↗!
The Sirens, who were singing on the cool rocks of the underground passage, screamed and jumped into the water as soon as they saw Lee Han.
with a splash!
with a splash!!
“…uh. I think you saw it wrong! I am not a suspicious person. “I’m that first-year student from last time!”
Lee Han thought the sirens were mistaken, so he called loudly again.
“This is the wizard I defeated like Mac last time!”
The sirens in the water quickly moved their fins to find deeper water.
I felt the determination to get out of here as quickly as possible.
“You looked at the wrong person! This is a wizard who joined forces on a picnic on a windy and stormy day! Don’t you remember? “He grabbed the back of Professor Lightning’s neck during the test…”
Lee Han, who was about to speak, stopped.
This was an anecdote that, to put it bluntly, was not good.
“Don’t you remember?”
quiet.
“oh. Is there any Siren I met? “If so, please tell me.”
quiet.
None of the sirens responded, remaining silent and not coming out of the water.
As Lee Han continued to sing, he realized that the sirens’ vigilance was stronger than he thought.
“Please just tell me.”
quiet.
“…If you don’t tell me right away, I will fill this underground passage with lightning.”
Lee Han came out to demonstrate his skills.
As Perkuntra’s symbol flashed like a flower on the back of the hand, the sirens trembled at the presence felt from the symbol.
As a member of the same spirit’s blood, he had an intuition of how powerful the spirit that the magician had contracted with was.
Of course, Lee Han really had no intention of calling Perkuntra.
‘If a siren who knows me comes, the misunderstanding will be resolved.’
The sirens here don’t know who Lee Han is, but if a siren who knows his face appears, the misunderstanding will be resolved…
Sigh!
“!”
How long has it been since I spoke? The Siren popped her head out from the water.
It appeared so quickly that it made me wonder if it had just been hiding in the water and came here, rather than coming here after hearing news from afar.
It looked familiar, so it was the siren I met last time. Lee Han greeted warmly.
“nice to meet. How have you been?”
-……
“How are you?”
-……
“There is no need to answer verbally. “You can understand just by nodding your head.”
Still, the Siren did not respond.
Instead, he just glared at Lee Han with very dissatisfied eyes.
‘Maybe I was mistaken?’

Lee Han was puzzled.
I didn’t know that the Siren in front of me right now might not be the Siren I met with Lee Han.
Maybe I was mistaken because she looked familiar, but in fact, she might be a siren I’ve never met before…
“I would have asked the Siren I met to come. If you keep being uncooperative like this, I have an idea. “Don’t play around and tell the news quickly!”
Lee Han pointed his cane and warned.
Then the Siren pointed to herself very slowly.
“it’s you?”
Nod.
“Then why didn’t you answer?”
Siren shrugged her shoulders.
Lee Han didn’t understand, but he just did it.
There were many more urgent problems than that.
“Siren, wait a minute. What should I call you? “I was out of my mind last time because I was in the water.”
Siren looked at Lee Han with her arms crossed.
There was contempt mixed in those eyes.
It was a contemptuous question that the human race could even pronounce the Siren’s name.
“ah. “It must be a difficult name to say.”
When the other person didn’t answer, Lee Han came up with the idea on his own.
Among the rare or unusual races of the empire, some had their own unique languages and communication methods.
Don’t sirens also communicate through song instead of the common imperial language?
Racial differences had to be respected.
“Then, may I give you a nickname for the human? So that I can call you in the future. hmm. Cainan Island. “What about Gainando?”
Siren frowned and took out a stone tablet.
And then, in a hurry, he wrote ‘Partenope’ in crooked handwriting.
“Partenope. Right. Anyway, Parthenope. “I think we’ve become quite close since last time, but I trust our friendship and have something to ask of you.”
-????????????????
Parthenope pursed her lips, not understanding what was being said.
I could refute nonsense if I heard just one line, but when I heard several lines at the same time, I didn’t know where to start to refute.
“I’m trying to take the giants through the passage, but can you help keep other races or monsters nearby from coming? “If a fight breaks out, the passage could collapse.”
Siren, who was writing, dropped the slate.
Lee Han kindly picked up the stone slab and returned it.
“Are you listening?”
Parthenope was hastily trying to write no.
But suddenly a question occurred to me.
Is this wizard in front of you someone who will just walk away when you say no?
-……
Absolutely not.
If uncontrolled giants rush into the underground passage…
The image of a shattered and collapsing underground passage clearly appeared in Siren’s mind.
I will help you!!!
“thanks.”
Lee Han was pleased with Partenope’s answer.
As expected, Siren’s answer did not disappoint Lee Han, as they had become close friends.
It was different from the spirits.
* * *
-eww. It’s a fisherman.
-It is not a fishman, but a type of mermaid. Ikurusha was like that.
-What’s the difference between the two?
-uh…
-difficult. Let’s just call it fish.
The giants splashed through the submerged waters of the underground passage.
The water was quite deep, but it was still enough for giants to walk through.
The Sirens took charge of each spider-web-like side road next to the underground passage, trying to prevent anyone else from entering.
-♬♩♩♩♩…
-♩♪♪…
When they heard the sad song of the Siren, the giants were disgusted and covered their ears.
-eww! hate!
-The fish sing, I feel dirty!
‘Do you feel it instinctively?’
Lee Han was amazed at the giants’ reaction.
Although it wasn’t as strong as Lee Han’s, the giants’ resistance was famous. It was clear that that resistance was what made the siren’s song respond in that way.
Of course, like the giants, the sirens were very displeased.
The descendants of spirits who take pride in singing cover their ears and say, ‘Ugh! There is no way to look kindly on giants who say, ‘I feel dirty!’
The sirens looked at the giants with contempt.
“Can’t I stop singing?”
Parthenope, who was pulling the ferry in front of Lee Han, kindly gave him advice.
Lee Han, who saw the Siren pretending to strangle herself with both hands, regretted asking for no reason.
‘You really hate giants.’
Unlike Lee Han, Siren really hated giants, and Lee Han couldn’t help this.
If I intervened for no reason, Lee Han could have incurred resentment.
“Um… can I sing?”
-???
Partenope looked at Lee Han in astonishment.
I had no idea what this wizard was thinking.
At this rate, I became afraid that I might drink the transformation potion and hide among the Sirens.
Because the crazy wizard could do anything.
Lee Han, who sensed the meaning in his gaze, excused himself.
“It’s not just a song.”
Ipadur the Bard and the Skeleton Headmaster.
Lee Han walked around with the two and worked hard to learn the basic structure of music magic.
Although the results were still insufficient to call it ‘magic’, I was able to sing a few songs that still have effects.
“I thought it might be able to stop the Siren’s song at least a little since it contains magical power.”
Partenope did not stop him. He nodded as if to say, if you want to try it, go for it.
Lee Han, who interpreted the meaning as cheering, cleared his throat and sang.
“Once upon a time, there was an oak with a hoe. The oak’s field was flooded by heavy rain. Let’s go to the field, to the field…”
-?!
Parthenope was surprised.
Surprisingly, the song of this young wizard was crowding out the song of the Sirens!
The Siren’s song that had been influential around the giants was losing its power and disappearing into an echo in the distance.
Partenope blinked and listened several times, but the phenomenon did not change.
-Wizard! Wizard!
“oh. Does it work?”
-I’d rather sing a fish song!
-The lyrics are so unpleasant!
“no…”
Lee Han was taken aback by the giants’ reaction.
I was surprised that it worked, but I never thought people would hate it because of the lyrics.
Why?
“Aren’t the lyrics good? ah. It could be because you don’t know what song this is. It is a song about a legendary orc farmer, and it is a moral lesson about how he perseveres in plowing his fields despite all kinds of natural disasters and even gives up on the devil…”
-I hate work songs!
-If the wizard keeps singing that song, we won’t walk!
The giants stopped and grumbled.
Lee Han felt unfair.
‘It’s a good song.’
But I knew it worked, so all I had to do was change the song. Lee Han tried a few more memorable songs.
The song of a dwarven mason who didn’t stop swinging his hammer even when his fingers shrank (the giants jeered), and the song of a librarian who collected so many books in his mansion that his bed disappeared and he ended up sleeping on them (only one of the giants liked them). …
“…Oh, there goes the knight, he is killed by an arrow, he is killed by a mace, he is stabbed to death by a sword, he is killed by a spear…”
-Good song!
-I wanted something like this! Wizard is the best!
-The knight dies! The knight dies!
-The knight gets stepped on and dies! The knight gets hit by a sheep and dies!
“……”
The giants seemed to like it and sang it excitedly, even changing the lyrics.
Let the giants with loud voices sing a song with all the wrong pitch and tempo so that the passage trembles. The sirens watching the side road covered their ears and closed their eyes.
His expression looked so painful that he wanted to take his own life.
“…If it had been a different song, it would have been different.”
Lee Han made an excuse to Parthenope.
Maybe it’s because giants only like strange songs, but if it had been a song about an orc farmer, the sirens might have listened to it okay.
