Episode 635
Alcicle clucked his beak at this shocking fact.
“Well, don’t lie. There’s no way you two would do that. “There’s no way you could have gotten married just because you were so absorbed in carnal desires…”
“I’m sure the head of the family said it himself.”
Lee Han said harshly.
Often, when I talked to the matriarch, love stories would pop up without even asking, which was quite painful.
“Does true love make magic stronger?? “I thought love was something that got in the way of magic…”
“You and the principal think alike?”
“Huh, how can you say that, Wardanaz? “What did I do so wrong?”
Alcicle looked hurt by the verbal abuse of a junior wizard with outstanding talent.
“…I just said it because it occurred to me without much thought. sorry.”
“I am different from Gonadaltes. Of course, Gonadaltes could have said something similar. But it’s completely different. “Even if it is for the completion of great magic, I will marry after confirming the other person’s intention.”
‘Isn’t this an insult to the principal, calling him someone who will kidnap her?’
When Alcicle thought more seriously about marriage than expected, Lee Han became curious and asked.
“Do you have someone you’re talking about getting engaged to?”
“There are people who have come forward with stories. that’s right. Wardanaz. Would you like to hear it? “You might be a good judge.”
‘shit. ‘I need to change my habits.’
Without even thinking about it, Lee Han regretted what he had just done.
If you keep losing control of your curiosity and throw words, you end up digging your own grave.
I was tired of the matriarch’s love story, but how much more boring would I be of the story of Alcicle’s fiancé?
‘And does my advice have any meaning here?’
Even though he could give advice on things like magic or business plans, Lee Han couldn’t use his skills to think about who Alcicle should become engaged to.
At best, the question that comes to mind is ‘Does the other person like sardines too?’…
“One of the people the family is talking about right now is the daughter of the Arba family. The Albatross beast family. Traditionally, penguin and albatross people think this is an advantage as it increases their chances of giving birth to outstanding children.”
“……”
Lee Han had to suppress the feeling of wanting to cover his ears.
‘It’s biological knowledge that isn’t really curious.’
It’s an imperial rumor about the compatibility of penguin beastmen and albatross beastmen.
When I looked next to me, my junior was already dozing off.
“okay.”
“The other person the story came from is the lieutenant of the Sebing Magic Tower. “As he is a person who focuses on studying the cold element, it would be good for us to focus on topics together.”
“and. “I’m really, really happy.”
Lee Han answered pretentiously and then paused.
Even if he heard it, it was too insincere.
‘Did I speak too roughly?’
But Alcicle was happy.
“yes? “I’m glad you think highly of me.”
“……”
Lee Han felt sorry for no reason at that reaction.
‘I’ll have to think about it more seriously.’
“The last person I spoke to was Sir █████.
“…What language was that just now?”
“ah. You won’t hear it with your own ears. It’s the name of a spirit. It’s a spirit with a connection to our family. I’m thinking about making a contract with this spirit. The advantage is that it is a cold spirit, so it helps with my magic.”
The forms of contracts with spirits in the empire were more diverse than expected.
There were ordinary types of contracts, such as those made by Einrogard’s students, but occasionally there were wizards who made unusual types of contracts with powerful spirits.
The most unusual contract among them was that of a marriage contract.
The jealous spirits wanted to monopolize the wizard, and if the wizard wanted to borrow the spirit’s power (or fell in love with the spirit), even if it meant risking it…
In this way, a strong contract is made.
“Spirits are good partners. really. Do you know that you made a contract with that spirit? “Here are the squirrel and sparrow spirits.”
“?”
Alcicle was slightly embarrassed when Lee Han suddenly boasted about his spirit.
It was not a rare or rare spirit, but just an ordinary low-level spirit.
‘Uh, what do you mean?’
“Well… they’re such cute and smart kids, aren’t they?”
“Yes?”
Lee Han had the happiest expression upon entering the mansion. I don’t know what Alsicle said, but he was relieved that he had answered well.
“So which of the three looks best?”
“hmm. Pengelin. “Which of the three were you happiest when you met?”
Lee Han asked a standard question.
To be honest, it was annoying to ask this, but I couldn’t ignore it after hearing everything.
“huh? “I’ve never met you?”
“yes?”
“I’ve never met you. “I’ve only heard of all three by name.”
“……”
Lee Han was deeply frustrated.
Alcicle was a stranger than I thought.
‘Should I just tell them to choose using foresight magic?’
The person who helped Lee Han, who was worried, was the amorphous demon that had gone out earlier.

The devil returned with sardines and spoke to the kitchen in a tired voice.
-I brought it.
“Oh. Devil. “I’ll be inviting some friends soon, so can you help me?”
-……
The devil twisted his body, cursing himself for pulling the dice eye low.
Why did I choose the dice so low on a day like this?
“Pengerin. “I’m worried because the dinners at our mansion aren’t actually very diverse.”
Alcicle nodded, not even noticing that Lee Han was changing the topic.
“As expected, because there aren’t many people?”
“yes. “To begin with, most of them are outside, and the few knights and servants who are there don’t like to eat luxuriously…”
Although the family was not without food, they did not have a lot of things and were mostly frugal.
When a friend like Kainando came over and I prepared it the way I usually eat, I was sure he would ask, ‘This is an appetizer and there’s a separate main dish, right?’
‘But does it matter now?’
Alcicle thought as he looked at the grim scene outside the mansion.
I think I should worry about other things first rather than preparing a dinner for my friends who are coming…
“All you have to do is go to the village and find something useful. “When I came here, I saw that the village was quite big.”
-Damn penguin…
The devil muttered and prepared to leave.
If you’re going to order it, order it all at once and split it up like this!
Alcicle was embarrassed and explained.
“No, I didn’t mean to ask you to do that.”
“Aren’t your words too harsh than that? “But you’re still a guest!”
At Lee Han’s shout, the amorphous demon completely cowered.
-I was wrong. Wardanaz. Please don’t extend the sentence.
“Be careful going forward. Anyway, Pengelin. As you said, I will go to the village and buy something useful. Junior. You have finished studying up to this point. “I’ll take a test when I get back.”
“Well, can I buy groceries too…”
“no.”
The demon had no face, but it looked longingly at Eandurde.
I felt like I could give up my soul if I could be that kid.
“wait for a sec. Wodanaz.”
“yes?”
“Are you going to town with that devil?”
“yes. it’s okay. “I can’t buy it because I’m bound by a contract.”
‘That’s not the problem.’
Even though it was a devil bound by a contract, it was not used as a substitute for luggage when going to the market.
How scared would the villagers be if they saw it?
Alcicle was about to point out something, but stopped.
I came as a guest, but it was a bit weird to interfere too much with the other family’s traditions.
“Um… okay… have a nice trip.”
“yes.”
Lee Han walked out the front door like a devil.
While the two were walking down the path in silence, Lee Han suddenly remembered the conversation from earlier and asked.
“Demon. Would you rather have a fiancé who can give birth to outstanding children, someone who is good at studying magic, or someone who can give you strong powers?”
-I may not know much about wizards, but the best way to get engaged is to be with someone you care about and love.
“…!?”
* * *
Alcicle took care of Eandurde’s studies (this Gorgon half-blood kid constantly tried to escape and do other things) and waited for Ihan to return.
‘Isn’t the head of the family coming?’
When I looked at the front door of <Exploration Room>, I saw that there were no more calls. It was obvious that he was busy with extraterrestrial exploration.
Although it was unfortunate, Alcicle thought that it could not be helped. In fact, he had made this sudden visit and it was quite a surprise just to see Madam Raya Na Wardanaz.
Squeak-
With the sound of the first floor door of the mansion opening, someone came inside.
Alcicle stuck his head out to see if Lee Han had returned. Eandurde quickly crawled under the table to escape.
“?”
An unfamiliar spirit that I had never seen before was walking into the entrance of the first floor. Alcicle blinked in surprise and then came to his senses.
‘No, it’s not a spirit!?’
At first, I thought it was a spirit because the energy of nature was so strong, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a spirit.
The other person was a living person.
Earth spirits were playing in each strand of hair, and small thunder spirits were playing around on the bridge of the nose and eyebrows.
Alcicle was surprised to see the temperamental thunder spirits playing without hurting people.
Not even a decent spirit wizard could show such high affinity.
The other person put down the large leather backpack he was carrying. The old backpack was so full that it looked like it was going to burst at any moment.
Alcicle was nervous because he didn’t know what would come out of it.
“…?”
What came out inside were old miscellaneous items.
A porcelain cup with a tooth missing and cracked, an old stone tablet with mangled letters, an arrow with a rusted point and a broken flag…
The other person began to carefully put them down one by one and manage them. Dozens of spirits stood by and helped with the task with all their might.
Alcicle was surprised once again by that appearance.
It was surprising that all that came out was miscellaneous, but it was truly amazing that the spirits devoted themselves to their work without any complaints.
And that too without any magic or commands!
‘How is that possible? There’s no way that’s possible with just affinity. It’s definitely something like an artifact…’
Eandurde slipped out from behind Alcicle, who was staring intently, and knocked over a chair.
bang!
“?”
The unfamiliar guest raised his head and looked at Alcicle. Alcicle, whose eyes met, stopped.
“Uh… um… I am Alcicle of the Pengerin family. “Who are you?”
The other person lowered his head without answering. Then I went back to managing the miscellaneous things.
“I’m here. Mr. Pengerin.”
“!!!”
When Lee Han’s voice was heard, Alcicle shouted urgently.
“Wardanaz! excuse me! There’s someone I’m seeing for the first time! “It seems like a spirit disguised as a person…”
“Uh, brother?”
“…???”
Arsil Wardanaz, the second son of the Wardanaz family, greeted Lee Han warmly.
“What brings you here… Ah. You came to congratulate me on completing my first year at Einrogard? no. “You shouldn’t have to do this… I’m sorry that you seem to have come such a long way.”
“??”
Alcicle was embarrassed to see Lee Han talking to himself.
While I was talking with my second brother, Lee Han continued to talk alone.
“Whoa, Wodanaz. Is this what Arsil is saying? “Can’t you hear me?”
“It’s close to spirit language, so you won’t hear it well. “I can hear it because I’m also related.”
“for a moment. “Can humans speak spirit language?”
“My brother used to do it…”
“……”
Seeing Wardanaz calmly making noises that would make imperial spirit wizards or linguists faint if they heard them, Alcicle keenly felt that he was once again in the territory of a certain family.
