Episode 253 Five Stars (1)
The iron-blooded swordsman Baskerville’s quest.
Everyone could guess without even opening the scroll. It must be to deal with the vicious monsters of the Western Front.
What are the crazy hounds who live only on blood, interested in anything other than getting blood on their teeth?
That was the public perception.
But Bikir chose it nonetheless.
‘I need to go home.’
It was because I was on my way home from work anyway.
For Bikir, who hates the Baskervilles, going home doesn’t feel like going on vacation.
However, it is worth looking at how much the Baskervilles have been organized at this time.
After the death of Andromalius, who was wearing the outer skin of Set, Vikir was interested in how many demons would remain.
‘It would be nice if I could also solve the quest.’
It’s Hugo’s seal. Just ask for it.
To be honest, it was a task to eat raw.
* * *
Bikir reassured all his worried friends that hunting monsters was his specialty.
Bikir, who had always received good grades in Introduction to Mamulology, and had a record of bringing a large amount of gnoll leather a while ago, so his friends soon agreed.
At dawn the next day, while everyone was asleep, Bikir left the magic tower and moved while thoroughly hiding his movement route.
When rankers from the academy set out to carry out tasks for the second leg of the league, reporters, paparazzi, headhunters from various guilds, or other people with bad intentions were bound to follow them.
Bikir looked carefully to see if there were any demons among those who followed him, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he went home.
Of course, there was no such thing as being chased because he was a Bikir who was good at hiding his movements and erasing traces.
Early morning full of hazy fog.
When Bikir bought a train ticket to go to his hometown.
“… … !”
Bikir was able to spot a familiar face.
A white-haired girl sitting quietly in the back seat of the train at the next platform, looking out the window.
It was Sinclair.
Bikir was now standing on the opposite platform from her.
‘Are you going east?’
Bikir, who had hidden behind a steel frame sticking out of the platform due to the unfinished construction of the platform, poked his head out and looked at Sinclair.
Sinclair was silently gazing at the gloomy dawn outside the window, unaware that Vikir was looking at him.
She is on a train going east. And there are few famous families in the East.
‘Was the task Sinclair chose belonged to Quo Vadis?’
Clearly, from the standpoint of the Quo Vadis family, discussing ways to effectively eliminate heresies and cults was the main content of the task she chose.
The direction Sinclair is currently heading is completely different from Quo Vadis Street in the west.
For what purpose she boarded the Eastbound train so early, only she herself would know.
“… … .”
Bikir didn’t bother digging into the secret Sinclair was hiding and turned away.
It was just the right social distancing.

Hugo’s appearance after a long time was quite different from Vikir’s memories.
Originally, Hugo was a cold-blooded animal with cold eyes and a thin impression, always sharp as if he were being cut.
but.
“Heh heh heh-”
The sight of Hugo right in front of her was making Vikir quite confused.
He looked plump from what he ate so well, and he wondered if he had grown his mustache back, and then he braided it like a little girl’s hair.
At the end of his beard hung a clumsily tied ribbon.
“It’s been a while, son.”
Seeing Bikir, Hugo spoke in a solemn voice.
But that attitude didn’t last long.
“Do you see this? The Pomeranian braided it. Maybe it was tied so beautifully. There is no doubt that the Baskervilles are prodigies that will not exist again in history. It is truly a gift from God.”
Hugo smiles while holding a sleeping Pomerian in his arms.
Bikir looked around without speaking.
“… … .”
Hugo’s office, which was originally very bleak, has also changed a lot.
The floor, which was made of black stones, was covered with a soft and colorful puzzle-type mat.
It was a structure designed to prevent a child from getting hurt when he or she falls, while allowing the child to sit down and play puzzles from time to time.
Celestial body-shaped mobiles and luminous star stickers are attached to the ceiling to glisten.
A scene from a trendy fairy tale was drawn on the pink curtains, in which a witch princess wields a magic wand to beat and kill monsters.
There was a large picture book with imperial letters attached to the wall, and swordsmanship textbooks and other books that were filling the bookshelves were all replaced with children’s storybooks.
And the biggest change of all.
“Are you here, young master?”
It was the outfit of the Barrymore deacon who had brought the car.
He was wearing cow-patterned pajamas all over his body, something like a kotoure attached to his nose, and holding a rattle in his hand.
Of course, the Pomeranian is not at an age to be happy with these things.
“He’s giving his granddaughter, who may not have been able to enjoy even the basics among the barbarians, all the overdue things that he should have done as a grandfather.”
Seeing what Hugo said with a solemn expression, Vikir had no choice but to nod with a timid expression.
In fact, the papers he was handling now also looked like administrative work for the Baskervilles, but in fact they were all Pomerian-related.

Housekeeper Hugo Les Baskerville ㊞
Bikir glanced at the contents of the papers and turned his head.
‘… … What did I just see?’
It was clearly stamped with the seal of the family head. At least within the Baskervilles, that seal was like the seal of the imperial emperor.
Before returning, I still have fresh memories of standing up on guard duty and fighting against enemies, staying up countless nights to protect the document with that seal.
But the contents of the document with the official seal were like that… … .
Shaking my head-
Bikir involuntarily shook his head from side to side.
at that time.
Vikir suddenly felt Hugo’s gaze staring at him.
‘Oops!’
Anyway, I was too careless.
No matter how stupid he looks now, he is definitely a sword master, the swordsman of the empire, the owner of the Baskervilles, and the king of all dogs.
Bikir once again tightened the tension. And he waited for Hugo’s mouth to open.
Eventually, Hugo, who was looking at Vikir seriously, opened his mouth.
“okay. It’s time to give the student from the academy the task of Baskerville.”
Five-star difficulty, worst quest ever.
It was to fulfill the special order given by the head of the Baskerville family.
Apparently, Hugo had no intention of just looking at Vikir as his son.
‘Monster hunting? factor assassination? Carve out a change?’
Vikir didn’t know what the quest he would receive, but he decided that it wouldn’t be as easy as he thought.
And before long, Hugo’s mouth opened.
“Give me a task. that’s right… … It’s ‘parenting’.”
Bikir doubted his ears.
“… … parenting?”
“okay. parenting.”
“Parenting (肉牙). Do you mean fangs made of meat? What kind of teeth are those… … .”
“What are you talking about? Eh. parenting word. taking care of children.”
Hugo clicked his tongue and lifted the cloth he was wearing once.
The sleeping Pomeranian began to whine.
Hugo said with a worried expression on the world.
“I’m worried that this guy is so sullen these days. don’t laugh at all In the past, when I showed you my beard braided, I laughed a lot.”
“… … .”
“Just in case, I called all the doctors in the West and tried to check the pulse, but everyone said there was no problem. Like quacks. My granddaughter isn’t smiling, so what’s not wrong now? I was about to slit everyone’s neck, but I barely endured it because Barrymore’s butler tried so hard to dissuade him. Will she be able to make this guy laugh?”
Hearing Hugo’s words, Vikir recalled the contents of the cover of the task scroll in his mind.
鐵血劍家 / Difficulty [★★★★★]
Is this a five-star difficulty level? Was parenting really that hard?
Bikir sighed and stepped forward.
And at that moment, Pomerian exquisitely opened his eyes.
“Ugh? uh! Samchun! It’s Samchun!”
“… … Not Samchun, but Uncle.”
Vikir held out his hand, and the Pomeranian opened its arms wide. and… … .
“Oh oh! laugh! My granddaughter laughs!”
Hugo also began to laugh broadly. It’s because the Pomeranian laughs as soon as he sees Bikir.
at the same time.
… bang!
Butler Barrymore in cow pajamas behind him nodded happily and slammed Hugo’s seal on the task scroll.
A confirmation that all tasks have been completed.
It was the moment when a five-star task that no one in the academy dared to challenge was cleared in an instant.
