Episode 173. Those left behind (1)
“Did you hear that? “I heard that following Axilium a while ago, something amazing happened in Brenu as well?”
“Have you just heard that? “Isn’t it rather slow to hear news from you?”
A bar where residents gather to unwind after a day’s work.
A common story is coming out of the mouths of dozens of people.
“Who in the world would have thought? The 13-year-old youngest member of the duke family, who had just gotten rid of the fishy smell, was actually the assassin of the terrifying Mist… … .”
As is usual with rumors, they are always distorted and added to.
An assassin belonging to the Mist.
A warlock who summoned a devil dragon to Axilium.
He even owns an evil magic sword that is said to collect the souls of a hundred people with one swing.
Rumors about Sian Berthe, the youngest member of the Duke of Berthe, spread uncontrollably every day and were on people’s lips.
“Thank goodness. The owner of the sacred sword that only appeared in legends personally appeared to catch that guy. I guess he gave in to the power of the holy sword and ran away?”
“Hey friend, how can you survive in this world if you’re this naive? Don’t you still know that this was spread by the imperial family to cover up the truth?”
“Well, what does that mean?”
“Something happened in the middle of the street, and not only the imperial army, but also how many ordinary people were watching the scene? They all said together that the entire imperial army was defeated by just one boy! Even the owner of that holy sword… … .”
The eyes of the people around me who were listening to the story opened brightly.
“No, don’t be kidding? “How can one person attack everything?”
“Would you like to bet with me? What kind of stories are being exchanged among the continent’s top intelligence merchants right now? Ah, there’s no need to do that. “Just run from here to Brenu, stop by anyone and ask, and I’ll tell you!”
At that moment, the bar owner started posting new wanted letters he had received from the Knights Templar on one side of the bulletin board.
Including the wanted letter for Sian Wert they were talking about.
“He did really great things with that pretty face.”
“Who doesn’t? The speed of that family is truly incredible. Duke Berthe, of course, and the daughter of that family were said to be incredibly beautiful, right? “Pretty sister got a huge spike stuck in her chest!”
“Looking at how it looks, it really looks like it would collapse if I touched it.”
A tall man who was looking at Xian’s wanted letter said while stroking his beard.
“why? Maybe you don’t know? If you catch that little boy, won’t you let him marry that family’s daughter? Giggling… … .”
In the midst of the frowning conversation between the three men, a dark blue-haired woman sitting at the bar table stood up.
“I really enjoyed the meal.”
After paying normally, three men stared at her as she left the bar.
“and… . Did you see the face? “It’s been a long time since I saw such an incredible beauty.”
“shit. Should I have at least tried talking to you? It feels a bit wasteful to just send it away… … .”
“Arthur. I’m glad I didn’t run away from your face… … ?”
The moment when the mouths of the three chattering men suddenly stopped.
Before they knew it, a dark blue-haired woman who they thought had left came to their table.
While they were blinking in confusion, a tall man spoke with a sinister smile.
“Why, miss? He said he didn’t have enough alcohol… … .”
-bang!
The man’s head fell headlong into the table with a loud sound that resonated in his eardrums.
“W-what did you do… ?”
-bang! bang!
The men got up one after another in shock, but they also had a deep deep kiss with the table.
I was so overwhelmed by the unimaginable strength that I didn’t even feel the chance to resist, and instead of waking up, I frothed at the mouth and fainted.
“after… … .”
A woman sighing deeply, as if her anger had not yet subsided.
She held out her fat pockets to the owner who came running after hearing the sound.
“I’m sorry for making a fuss. “Please use this as compensation.”
She had an incredibly pretty and beautiful face for a woman who had subdued three clumsy adult men at once.
The owner who took it so suddenly couldn’t even say that he wanted to do it.
The woman who was about to leave suddenly stopped in front of the bulletin board with the wanted notice.
Then he seemed to be looking at someone’s wanted notice,
-Ahh!
I immediately took off Sian Bert’s wanted notice that was posted in the most visible place and left the bar.
Like waves that become calm after a storm,
There was only silence in the bar.
After leaving the bar and turning the corner of the alley, the woman leaned against the wall helplessly and immediately collapsed.
A small sob faintly heard amidst heavy breathing.
As if she didn’t want to shed tears, she tightly clutched the wanted notice in her hand.
“draft… … .”
Soon she came to her senses, got up from her seat and headed towards the road again.
Her body was headed towards the north, where the cold wind blows.
Towards an unknown land where humans are not very welcome,
Duke Berthe’s eldest daughter, Ellis, took a firm step forward.
* * *
The office of the Garam Society, where five-colored magic stones shine brightly.
Two weeks had passed since the Brenu incident, and work to deal with the situation was busy.
Strangers from other countries came to the land of a clear empire and caused a stir with magic.
This was a very sensitive and important incident that could easily lead to a war between the Usif Empire and the Garam Kingdom.
“The compensation requested by Prince Ruinel is larger than expected. It would be difficult for us to fully bear this. It seems like the royal family has no intention of supporting it at all… … .”
“Does not matter. At this level, we can make up for it all with the funds we collected while exploring the Auram Society. Just pay without any objection and be done with it.”

Regens gave orders to handle it as is, as if it didn’t matter as long as the situation could be ended.
“What’s going on with Lunav?”
Then he immediately asked about his granddaughter’s whereabouts.
“Well, they say it’s in the academy’s laboratory right now…” … .”
“laboratory?”
Regens frowned at the unexpected place.
“yes. Since fully recovering from the internal injuries sustained in Brenu, I have been spending almost all of my time in the laboratory. From what I heard, he even advised me not to look for him unless it was something special… … .”
Regens immediately kicked off his chair and stood up.
The place he headed to was, of course, the laboratory of the institute where Lunav was located.
The moment I opened the tightly closed door of the laboratory, ignoring all the greetings from the academic society members,
“You came. grandfather?”
Lunav, who was there, welcomed him in a calm tone.
Her eyes were not on Regens, but on the various tools in the laboratory.
“What have you been doing all this time?”
“As you can see, I was looking at the laboratory facilities and other research materials. Focusing on things related to the experiments that will be performed on me in the future… … .”
Regens looked quite embarrassed by her unusual appearance.
Anyway, Lunav took out a piece of paper, wrote something down, and handed it to Regens.
“This is a revised plan for my experiments that will be carried out gradually. Please review and proceed accordingly.”
At this, Regens could not believe his eyes.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“I think we need to make some adjustments to the materials used previously, such as magic crystals and powder. Please check the supplier again. “If you check the places I wrote down, you will be able to find quality items.”
“Is it because of that boy?”
“… … .”
Lunav could not bear to refute no.
“I checked your condition while you were unconscious. “The heart curve is gone.”
“You checked it well.”
“It must have been taken away by that boy… … .”
“I didn’t mean to. “To be honest, I still don’t know why Senior Xian took it away.”
Lunav shrugged and said as if it was no big deal.
“I admit it. “The abilities you showed me that day were far beyond my expectations.”
“… … .”
“I won’t say that it was thanks to the academic society’s experiments. I know that in addition to what you have accomplished yourself, that boy has had a great influence. Your current magic level is at least 6 stars. Even that reached a level almost similar to 7 stars… … .”
Lunav was silent for a moment.
Unlike usual, Regens waited quietly until she opened her mouth.
“Definitely, I felt the wall that day. “I think it’s no exaggeration to say that it was the most reckless thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
That day, Lunav, who had sent Xian away from the academy members, used all his strength to stop Regens.
However, it was impossible for her to handle the magical power of the head of the Garam Society and a 9-star great sage on her own.
It’s a shame because Regens, who was worried about her, showed his strength at the end.
If I hadn’t done that, I might have suffered such severe internal injuries that it would have been impossible to manifest mana for a while and I would have passed out for several days.
“I don’t know how it will sound when I say this, but I think I saved my grandfather that day.”
“What does that mean?”
“If Grandpa and Senior Xian had really become attached at that time… … . “Grandpa probably no longer exists in this world.”
“… … !”
Regens’ pupils shook greatly.
“Not only my grandfather, but no other person in this world would have been able to match the senior of that time. “If you think about it, I think he saved the lives of not only my grandfather, but all of the academy members who were there.”
Lunav’s still calm eyes were full of sincerity without a single lie.
The true, natural strength that I confirmed as I hugged Sian’s body for the last time.
It was so deep and enormous that it was impossible for humans to possess it, and the end could not be guessed.
“I don’t think that its power is based solely on the divine weapon called the Demon Sword. “There must have been a lot of hard work from the senior to perfect that power.”
Beyond simply liking a man named Sian Bert, greater interest was now being focused on the source and value of his power.
“Magic was the driving force and survival tool that made weak humans masters of this land, right? But I realized it when I felt Senior Xian’s power. “We humans still have a long way to go before reigning as the true owners of this land.”
In her eyes, Xian’s heavy back, shrouded in fog, flashed clearly.
“Just as the society has been using me in the name of the future of humanity, I also plan to use the society from now on in the same name.”
Regens was very confused, but it didn’t feel all bad.
The eyes of his granddaughter he is looking at now,
A person who burns his will to achieve one goal,
Because he had the eyes of a true human.
“Let’s take a look. grandfather. “It will be a very fun journey.”
There was a faint smile on Lunav’s lips.
