Talent-Swallowing Magician Chapter 41

Episode 41

Invitation from the Neresta family

Kanoi near the ecliptic.

Blue lion.

A righteous person who is generous and fair to those under him, and who cannot tolerate injustice and always practices justice.

So, the man who was respected not only by martial artists but also by the people was slowly opening his eyes.

“… ha!”

The breath he exhaled was mixed with the worries and worries that had been bothering him for so long.

“Father… ji?”

Isabelle looked at her father cautiously.

For the first time, my father’s eyes, which had been distraught due to suffering from hyperlipidemia for the past few months, became solid.

I could see my own worry-filled face reflected above those pupils.

“Do you recognize me?”

“You’re doing too much.”

“… ?”

“Is there a case in this world where someone doesn’t recognize their own daughter?”

Isabelle was hugged with tears in her eyes as the blue lion, Hermann Weil, laughed.

“father!”

“haha. That guy too, Won. “Why should a grown woman be so foolish?”

Hermann quietly comforted the back of his daughter in his arms.

At that time, Chen and Ed quietly approached and bowed their heads.

“Master… !”

“I’m glad you’re feeling well.”

“Thank you both for protecting Isabelle so much.”

Hermann nodded and smiled bitterly as he looked around the empty surroundings.

“The reason there aren’t other guys is… “Is it because of the foul?”

Hermann had been in a coma for some time, but he had not completely lost consciousness.

Even though I couldn’t open my eyes, sometimes when I came to my senses, I could vaguely hear the conversation between Isabelle and Chen, so I had some idea of ​​the current situation.

“sorry. We should have paid more attention… “Ugh!”

“But if they find out that their lord has opened his eyes again like this, the knights of the family will soon have no choice but to think differently.”

“no. My body hasn’t returned yet. It is far from enough to claim that it is a ‘lion’. “This only makes it easier for fouls to prey on you.”

“… !”

“… !”

A bitter smile appeared on Hermann’s lips.

That doesn’t make you want to get up right away.

Even though he is her real brother, he is the one who messed with my daughter and her family. No matter how big-hearted he was, he wasn’t enough to forgive something like that.

The problem was my current physical condition.

A lion must never show weakness.

It was an absolute rule laid down by the Golden Lion that only the strong could occupy that position.

“Father, then… !”

“okay. I think we need to call the agenda. “I tried to stay out of their hands as much as possible, but now that it’s like this, I guess I can’t avoid it any longer.”

Isabelle clenched her fists as she pulled away from Hermann.

Blue Hawks.

Their sworn brothers, consisting of a total of six people, were martial artists who practiced justice by wandering around the continent together before Herman, a young man, ascended to the rank of Blue Lion.

A nickname given to him because when he encounters a villain, he has sharp eyes like a hawk and quickly defeats him.

Nowadays, they are leading lives that have nothing to do with the sword, such as establishing their own school or raising a family.

It was clear that if the big man Herman was called, he would step forward and return to active duty at any time.

“Please contact them separately.”

“Jonmyeong!”

“I follow your orders!”

Chen and Ed also looked bright because they knew their strength well and left the place with their heads down.

Since we didn’t know when or how Paul would come out again, we had to move quickly at least at the moment.

There was also an intention to allow the father and daughter to have some time together.

“But how on earth did you wake me up?”

As Hermann watched them leave, he turned to Isabel and asked.

In fact, he just felt that it was an opportunity to calm down when his previously violent magic suddenly calmed down, and he still didn’t know the exact reason.

“Elric helped me.”

“Elic?”

Hermann tilted his head.

Although he had been in a relationship with many people, none of them used that name.

I was wondering if he might be a hermit who is not well known to the public.

At that moment, the bridge of Isabel’s nose turned slightly red.

‘hmm?’

Hermann could feel his daughter’s mood changing slightly.

Has this child ever been like this?

He also had a fiery love affair with Isabel’s mother when he was young, so he knew very well what this meant.

However, I was quite surprised because it was my first time seeing this kind of behavior from my daughter who has a calm personality.

“He… !”

Isabel looked slightly excited, but began to explain in a calm tone about what she had experienced with Elric.

and.

‘Hoo.’

As the explanation continued, Hermann’s eyes also grew larger.

The Elric that exists in her story is very cool, splendid, and just – but if Mephisto and Sean heard it, they would ask ‘Who is that?’ He was a hero like no other in the world.

“In today’s turbulent world, is there a young man with such a desirable attitude?”

Hermann stroked the tip of his chin with satisfaction and then suddenly stood up.

“Why are you waking up suddenly?”

“I have to go.”

“Where? You’re not feeling well… !”

“How important is health? “If it is true that there is such a talented person, we should at least visit the Black Snowfield.”

“… !”

“And you said you would heal my body too? “Then shouldn’t we go even further?”

* * *

That time.

A righteous(?) young man.

“Ah Okay. Sorry. I won’t do that again. So… ! No, so don’t swear. huh?”

I was sweating in front of the communication crystal ball where nagging comments were pouring in.

“huh? Oh no! Why am I frowning? It’s not like that, really? sister. So calm down and listen to me… !”

Elric tried his best to soothe his sister, who was reflected in the crystal ball.

My sister’s anger, which had been aggravated by phone calls for the first time in a while, seemed to show no signs of subsiding.

“her!”

Mephisto just watched from the side with his arms crossed and only laughed.

『A being that can embarrass a naked bastard like that. I have no idea where Mervinger will end!』

The Elric that Mephisto had seen so far could boast that no matter what Mervinger was born in the future, he would never be as good as him.

I guess I’ll have to change my mind starting today.

I heard that Elric has a sister, but I never thought he would be so worried!

Even though Elric tried to soothe his sister’s anger, each time he came back with nothing but disgust.

『Anyway, just wash your neck there and wait! I’ll cut off the carriage going there right now. If you run away, will you really get lost? okay?”

bang!

“sister? sister!”

Elric called out to his sister, but the crystal ball, which had already been turned off, had no intention of turning on.

Even though I keep trying to communicate with the operator, there is no response.

Judging by Nui’s personality, it was clear that she would come straight to the imperial capital.

Qarring!

It felt like a thunderclap was ringing in Elric’s head.

My complexion naturally became pale.

“Tsk tsk! So I did that, right? Please contact me in advance. He said all he had to do was send a letter. “It’s a good thing.”

Sean clicked his tongue and shook his head as if he was disgusted.

Actually, have the events related to Elric been a bit chaotic so far?

Even if Elric’s hometown was located in a remote corner of the countryside even in the Empire, there was no way reporters hoping for a scoop would have left it alone.

You probably don’t know, but you’ve probably been there several times.

So, no matter how much Elric had told her in advance, Sister could not help but feel impatient.

And instead of contacting me often and comforting me, I acted irresponsibly for nearly two months as if I were barely a person.

It would be strange not to get angry like that.

‘Rather, you are amazing. Because you still stayed still. It means that you trust Elric that much… . If that guy was my brother, I would have killed him right away, really.’

Elric, who had a lost expression on his face, was only able to force his head to turn towards Sean after a while.

It looked exactly like a broken mechanical doll.

“My dear friend, Sean! I have a favor to ask… !”

“huh. no.”

“You didn’t listen to the end of what I said!”

“It’s obvious even if you don’t listen. “I guess they asked me to hide it in a villa somewhere.”

“Of course you’re my best friend! “It’s understood even without saying anything!”

“huh. So I don’t like it.”

“why!”

“I don’t want to be taken away by your sister, too.”

“You bastard! “Are you going to abandon your precious friend just to live alone?”

“Can you speak straight? Did I contact you often? “Who do you think is to blame for your sister not having come to the imperial capital before?”

Sean had had the chance to see Elric’s sister a few times, so he knew very well what her personality was like.

In normal times, she was such a gentle and gentle person that I wondered if there really was a woman like that, and that I wondered if she and Elric were really siblings.

He was also a dedicated person who gave up his own dreams for his younger brother’s wish to succeed as a wizard.

As Sean, who had a sister who lived up to her pride and was always unlucky, I could only envy him.

There were times when I was afraid of Elric’s sister.

Right when Elric had an accident.

Just as a normally quiet person can be scared when he or she gets angry, Elric’s sister fell into that category.

“iced coffee… !”

Elric sat down on the floor with a lost expression.

“It’s a good thing to be self-employed, right?”

Sean clicked his tongue indifferently.

* * *

After Sean conveyed Elric’s intentions to the family.

An invitation was immediately issued inviting Elric to dinner.

This was because anywhere near Neresta Street, no matter how close a friend you were, you could never enter without a formal invitation.

So, Elric received it and was heading to the ‘Hill of Fog’ where the Neresta family was located.

Then Sean asked Elric if he had contacted his sister, who was probably very worried.

Elric belatedly remembered that he had been putting it off due to the current situation, and hastily contacted his hometown through the wizard of the Neresta family.

Of course, quite naturally, the result was the same as now.

“hey.”

It was long after the communication ended that Elric came to his senses.

His two eyes were solemn.

“why?”

“I have decided.”

“what?”

“It’s going to jump.”

“what?”

“It’s going to fly.”

Sean’s expression was cruelly distorted.

“Are you crazy?”

“If it’s the same whether I die now or later, I’ll find a way to live longer!”

“Shut up, you bastard! Then sparks fly at me again!”

Sean said he was going to get into big trouble and ended up jumping out of his seat.

Elric had already made up his mind.

“It will take time for you to reach the imperial capital anyway… In the meantime, I’m going to the north. “You just accuse me of sneaking away.”

“Why the North again?”

“I have something to see.”

The Temple of Flowers was in the north.

Sean gritted his teeth.

“Just bounce. “If you do that, I will tell you about all the things you have been doing without your knowledge.”

Elric’s criminal record while being a person with broken character was quite deep.

Of course, many of them were eliminated before they became known to their hometown.

“shit! “Are you still friends?”

“Didn’t we break off relations?”

“You damn bastard… !”

Elric clenched his fist, but Sean only snorted while lifting his chin high.

“Anyway, just do what you want. At that time, I also decided to soak you. Carol, watch his every move carefully.”

“yes. “I will.”

“shit!”

When Elric, who was next to him, nodded with his eyes shining, he realized that there was no longer any way out.

Before Karl was Sean’s secretary, he was a ‘shadow’ specially raised by the Neresta family.

The ability to fool Professor Verlux all this time was not something anyone could do.

In addition, Karl was one of the victims who always criticized Elric.

『What kind of person is this person called Nui?』

Is it because of that? Mephisto became even more anxious as he was so curious about the existence of his sister who was immobilizing Elric and Sean.

In any case, for him who dreamed of resurrection, the more he knew about his archenemy, Mervinger, the better.

and.

Elric said as if sighing.

[…] It’s just normal.]

“hmm?”

[That’s why it’s scarier.]

『… ?』

Mephisto tilted his head as he did not understand what Elric meant.

Either that or not.

Elric frowned, then looked at several stacks of documents piled up on the seat across from him. Next to it were invitations and letters with various sentences stamped on them.

Slowly. As the carriage shook, the document tower also shook.

“These are all things that came to me?”

“uh. This is a business proposal, this is a scholarship invitation, and this is an invitation. Hey. “Our Elric, you’re a popular guy now, aren’t you?”

These were love calls sent from all over to the ‘Hero of Lascent’ and the ‘Operation Peac*ck’ whose stock prices are currently on the rise.
