Episode 123. A gem in the palm of your hand.
With a bright smile that Verdin had never seen before, he hugged the griffon and spun around in place.
“It’s been a while, Gridori!”
Gryphon smiled and was happy to join us.
“Keeeeeeek!”
Even though they were meeting for the first time today, they couldn’t hide their joy as if they were meeting best friends after a long time.
“how have you been?”
“Keeeeek!”
“Yeah, I’ve been doing well too. “You don’t know how much I’ve prayed because I missed you.”
“Kkieek!”
“what? You thought the world would fall apart when I disappeared? “I feel that way too without you.”
Brunhild looked at the two in turn with sharp eyes, then licked his front paw and monologued.
“too bad.”
Siegfried tilted his head, pinching his nostrils with his little finger.
“what?”
“Verdin, you have never welcomed me so warmly before.”
“Isn’t that because you’re not wearing panties?”
“Even though I translated all the grimoires stolen from Glazer this time into human language. “I didn’t even say thank you.”
“Then try wearing red panties this time. “That guy has terrible hobbies, so you’d be crazy to see something like that, right?”
“How much effort have I made so far for Verdin… . I also like it when you hold me like that and spin me around… .”
“Or maybe a little flashier gold panties-”
Sssssssssssssssshhhh!
Brunhild returned to his human form and planted his fist in Siegfried’s jaw.
Pow!
“f*ck off, you perverted old bastard!”
Verdin, who was talking with the griffon, looked surprised and asked Brunhild.
“Is there a problem?”
“Oh, no. “It’s nothing.”
Verdin thought it was really nothing and turned his head. Brunhild must have been annoyed by his reaction, so he walked up to the side and asked about the griffon.
“This guy is a divine beast that cannot be found anywhere. How do you know?”
“An old friend.”
“Old friend?”
“yes.”
Verdin thought it was a mistake.
If you say this, doesn’t that mean Brunhild will know your secret? It would not be a stretch to infer this much from her extensive knowledge.
But Brunhild just nodded, as if in agreement.
“I see.”
I guess he’s not interested because he doesn’t think deeply about it. Verdin was able to sense her state of mind right away.
“Anyway, Mr. Brunhild, what do you know about the Divine Beast?”
“Because I raised it too.”
“Shinsu?”
“Yeah, but it’s not as cute as Gryphon. “Well, he was a pretty good friend.”
“okay.”
“… Verdin.”
“yes?”
“Would you like me to teach you magic?”
“Later. “I have something to share with Gryphon right now.”
“When will I tell you?”
“I’ll be back a little later.”
“A little later, when? “I want to tell you now.”
Brunhild asked, his eyes sparkling like shining stars in the night sky.
Verdin could not read her intentions and tilted his head.
Let him stand quietly without saying anything. Brunhild suddenly made a humorous expression and raised his voice.
“I-I feel like it! “If you learn it right now, I’ll especially teach you my secret spell!”
“Mr. Brunhild.”
“huh?”
“I’ll tell you when I’m done talking with Gryphon. “Please wait a moment until then.”
“Oh, uh, yeah… .”
The conversation is over.
Brunhild trudged over and sat down in front of the window. She said a small monologue as she looked at her forget-me-nots that came into view.
“Damn you griffon bastard. “Verdin is my student.”
Siegfried suddenly turned his face towards Brunhild with a serious expression.
“You understand, Verdin, he’s been like that since he was young. All I know is “You’re a very poor quality bastard.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, Brunhild, I have urgent business to do right now, so can I ask you one favor?”
Brunhild turned his head and looked at Siegfried.
“what?”
“It’s nothing special.”

“What?”
“… But I’m really curious. “Can I just check if you’re really wearing no panties?”
Quang!

An explosion erupted from Verdin’s room. At that moment, Valentine, who was walking down the hallway, was startled and found his room.
thud.
“What happened?”
The room in Verdin that caught his eye was completely covered in ice, as if a wizard had visited it.
“Wizard?”
Verdin shook his head and answered.
“ah… . No, sister. “This happened because my gryphon couldn’t control its strength.”
Verdin glared at Brunhild, who had turned into a cat.
“Shinsu?”
She glanced at the griffon and then smiled.
“It looks like Gryphon knows how to use magic.”
“Yes, a little bit. “I guess it’s an animal that feeds on mana.”
“Eating mana?”
“That’s right.”
Verdin paused for a moment as if thinking about something, then nodded his head slightly and answered.
“This time, when I visited the library at Ruines Academy. “I’ve read about this.”
“Oh, I can’t believe there was information about Gryphon written there.”
“you’re right. “It even had instructions on how to find this guy.”
Valentine came closer and said, stroking the Griffon’s head.
“It is an animal that knows how to use magic and swallows mana. “The power we need has arrived just in time.”
“Of course.”
“It’s as if someone had anticipated and planned all of this.”
She continued speaking with a smile.
“Anyway, Verdin, you really seem to like pets.”
“A pet?”
“So, not only do you have birds and cats, but you also have three dogs in the room.”
Her eyes turned to the three knights sitting quietly in the corner of the room.
Bichon, Chihuahua, Collie.
They were lowering their heads with expressions of fear.
“ah… . no. “They are not pets, they are knights from the west-”
The Bichon jumped up from his seat and came in front of Valentine. Then, she lowered her head so deeply that it almost touched the ground, and Misung spoke in a loud voice.
“It is an honor to meet you, Lord Valentine. I am Baron Gerard’s guard knight from the Kingdom of Aryuk, in the western part of the continent. “It’s called a Bichon.”
“Was there a beastman village in the west?”
“yes? Ah, we are not the beast people.”
“You’re not a beastman?”
“That’s right. “All three of us are just humans.”
The Chihuahua and Collie stood next to him and greeted him politely like a noble.
“It’s called a Chihuahua.”
“It’s called Collie.”
Valentine gave me an embarrassed expression that I haven’t seen since I was born.
I took the initiative to explain things to them before misunderstandings deepened.
What happened in the Legion after Rothschild overturned the territory of a man named Baron Gerard?
Additionally, Glazer recruited high-level mercenaries from the Adventurer’s Pavilion and even targeted them from the tower.
“It has become clear that Rothschild and Glazer joined hands.”
“Yes, sister. Besides, Glazer can’t pay the request fees to high-ranking mercenaries right now.”
Sigh.
Verdin unfolded the contract written between Glazer and Bichon.
“It seems like the Adventurer’s Coffin Master has been replaced through Rothschild and the method of paying the request fee has changed.”
“… I don’t know whose brain this plan came from. “It’s a very dangerous operation, like a double-edged sword.”
“Of course.”
“If we lose the war or don’t win the war on time, we won’t be able to raise the commission fee.”
Valentine continued, reading the contract with a puzzled expression.
“High-ranking mercenaries who haven’t received their commission won’t sit still.”
“I think so too. So I think the key to this war is time.”
“hour?”
Verdin lightly stroked the griffon’s head.
“… Yes, time. If we succeed in defending our borders for a week after the war begins. “The enemy will definitely have problems with supplies.”
It is said that the number of high-level mercenaries alone exceeds a thousand, so Glazer can never keep them tied down for more than a month.
“So we are not in an all-out war against them. “As long as we succeed in blocking the supply route.”
“… … .”
“We will be able to take down not only Glazer but also Rothschild in one fell swoop.”

Pentagram, a group centered around the apostle Baphomet.
Two of them, Freddie and Bonnie, headed to Pablosa Ruines Academy.
“So that means Strange is no longer targeting us?”
Freddy asked as if asking.
Bonnie, who was walking ahead, answered.
“Okay, I guess you and I worked it out well through conversation.”
“It wouldn’t have been such an issue.”
“I don’t know that either. However, that guy who appears to be Verdin’s subordinate even promised not to kill us… .”
Freddie, who arrived at the entrance of Pablosa Ruines Academy, tilted his head.
I felt a strange feeling from the point where I crossed the canyon into the forest.
“what?”
Squeak, squeak, squeak-
The iron gate protecting the entrance to Pavlosa Academy was making a clanging sound as it repeatedly opened and closed in the wind.
Bonnie stretched out the two dolls she was holding in her arms and lowered her voice.
“Can’t you see the guard? Could it be that someone attacked the academy?”
“No way. What kind of crazy person attacks an academy where children of nobles from all over the continent gather? “If that happens, there will be more than one enemy.”
“is it.”
“of course.”
The two walked cautiously into the academy. Not only was there no guard guarding the entrance, but the ancient weapon known throughout the continent, the magic stone statue ‘Golem’, was also nowhere to be seen.
‘What happened?’
The two were confused, but couldn’t stop walking. This is definitely the place where I decided to meet Matteo Ricci.
“No, that’s ridiculous.”
Freddie looked at Pablosa Ruines’ building with an expression of disbelief.
“… “Freddie, is there something wrong with my eyes right now?”
Bonnie was right next to him, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Pablosa Ruines Academy is said to have an invincible defense that has never been defeated by enemy attacks since ancient times.
The place was already in ruins, as if it had been attacked by someone.
Coo coo coo coo.
A young man’s soft voice was heard from the clock tower above the collapsing wall.
“Hello, it is an honor to meet you.”
Freddie and Bonnie looked up and looked in the direction the voice was coming from.
There, a man with numerous scars on his innocent face was smiling brightly.
“I think this is my first time seeing you in person. Let me introduce my self… . “I came to hunt you under orders from General Albus.”
He raised his hands above his head.
-Keeeeee!
Hundreds of gargoyles hiding inside the clock tower flew up at the same time.
“Captain of the 1st Papal Order, Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel. “I am the person selected as the fifth general to fill the vacant position of Monestier.”
