92 – Unspeakable circumstances

Although they got there in one go thanks to Ophelia’s abilities, the way back to Hugo’s mansion had to follow somewhat primitive methods. Even if you get hold of Seira, who is a teleporter, there is no way you can immediately move to Lien.

In the rickety carriage, Seira gave a magic lecture to Siron to kill time.

“Teleportation is by no means an all-purpose magic.”

“Uh, I know.”

“Really? Then do you know that you need to know exactly the coordinates of where you are, and that you need to know the exact coordinates of where you want to go?”

“No. I don’t know that.”

“What… isn’t fun.”

However, Seira’s lecture is cut off midway.

Unlike Seira, who passionately preached about magic, Siron did not focus on her, perhaps because he had no interest whatsoever. I’m just watching the scene moving to a place where teleportation is possible.

‘What a strange kid.’

Seira felt sad for some reason and pursed her lips.

There was something about Shiron’s attitude right now… It seemed like he was only responding appropriately so as not to interrupt the conversation.

No matter how well-educated a noble child is, as long as he is human, he is bound to harbor curiosity about the unknown. Even more so if it is magic that completely ignores the laws of the world, like teleportation.

‘It’s not just the attitude that’s strange.’

Seira rested her chin on her hand and stared at Shiron.

‘The information I know is full of holes. It’s so shallow, as if I picked it up somewhere.’

Seira analyzed the conversations she had had with Siron so far. But this was not out of suspicion. The power of prophecy is an ability that even Seira, who has lived for hundreds of years, has never heard of.

It was natural for Seira, who had the temperament of a scholar to some extent, to show curiosity.

“I suddenly got curious. Can I ask you something?”

“No. Don’t.”

“…They say you have the power of prophecy. So how far can you see?”

“I told you not to do it.”

Shiron stared at Seira with full annoyance.

While traveling from the Macal Mountains, where the Dawn Castle is located, to Elmo Canyon, Seira’s mouth did not rest. Siron also felt the need to become closer to Seira, so he answered her questions half-heartedly, but telling her about the power of prophecy was another story. I didn’t want to expose the base.

“Why do you keep so many secrets about such a child? Can’t you just tell me?”

However, Seira was not one to flinch just because a child was glaring at her. She said, crossing her arms as if complaining of heartache. Thanks to this, our hearts came together to create a provocative scene.

“I also took a Mana oath. You can’t even use Mana, so you can’t swear. Don’t you think this is unfair? Huh? Try saying it clearly. I have a heavy mouth.”

“Yeah. I’ll never tell you.”

Siron raised one corner of his mouth and tried to sneer… but ended up failing. This is because Siron’s mind was filled with mixed emotions due to disappointment.

‘This woman. It’s completely different from the game. ‘Isn’t it too bad for a night’s pay?’

Did you say that people have to experience it for themselves? The Seira I experienced over the past few days was a shocking person in many ways.

The liberated atmosphere shown in the game was nowhere to be found, and even though she had been around for 500 years, she was better suited to the word brat than Lucia.

‘Lucia still tried to act like an adult. ‘Why do I look so young even though I’m over 500 years old?’

“Ugh.”

“What? Why are you sighing?”

“I can tell you this. It’s because the way you look now is completely different from what I imagined.”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Seira said, crossing her legs alternately.

“Honestly, isn’t it pretty?”

“…what?”

What is he suddenly saying again? Siron looked a little dumbfounded. When Shiron, who had always had a calm demeanor, became embarrassed, a faint frown appeared on Seira’s face.

“Let me guess why I sighed.”

“…”

“I was excited because I was prettier in person than I was in your prophecy. It’s clear.”

“What kind of bullsh*t is this all of a sudden?”

“Don’t pretend it’s not true.”

Seira shrugged her shoulders and closed one eye.

“You glanced at my breasts earlier. You thought no one would notice, you sweet little boy. I can see that you’re blushing, so you’re right.”

“Oh sh*t.”

Shiron covered her face with both hands. But this is not to cover up the blush. I felt a little dizzy, so I decided to wash my face dry.

Siron’s face never got hot.

“Bocchan. We have arrived.”

While we were continuing this stupid conversation for a long time. Yuma, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, said.

Elmo Canyon.

It was a place where there were still unexplored ether mines.

Seira got out of the carriage before Shiron got off.

“As expected, Yuma. I arrived exactly where I wanted? Indeed, your meticulous personality will survive even as time goes by…”

“you.”

Yuma frowned and stopped Seira from speaking.

“Don’t act friendly.”

Yuma passed by Seira and walked to Siron’s side. Yuma continued speaking while adjusting Shiron’s slightly disheveled clothes.

“From what I heard, you tried to cast a mind control spell on the young master, even though it failed many times. I still don’t trust you. If it weren’t for the young master, you would have already died.”

“Yuma. I’m fine.”

“Master, I am so anxious. Why did you take a woman like that as your companion? Her magic skills are definitely better than mine, but her personality is sloppy and her clothes are extremely frivolous.”

Yuma turned his head and glared at Seira. It seems as if he can freeze the opponent with just his gaze.

“Your morals are also somewhat strange. You choose to become slaves and enjoy serving powerless humans. Isn’t this… a perversion?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Oh, no!”

“What isn’t it?”

Yuma, who had finished arranging Siron’s clothes, stood up straight. Yuma, who was about a knuckle taller than Seira, opened his eyes sharply.

“Didn’t you just… spew out vulgar remarks to the young master, such as saying he saw my breasts, or calling him cute? Even the most frivolous child among the guardians of the Dawn Castle is so disrespectful that he doesn’t care what he says in front of you.”

“…”

“At least, if you are a lady, if you are not a prostitute, refrain from using your words and actions. Wouldn’t someone who stands next to a hero be unable to do even that?”

As Yuma’s criticism poured in, Seira couldn’t bear to refute, so she kept her mouth shut.

There was certainly nothing wrong with what Yuma said. Looking back now, Seira may have loosened her reins a little.

However, she never enjoyed entertainment with evil intentions.

Become a slave, serve your master, and when a crisis approaches your master, reveal your identity and offer a helping hand.

Although a mind control spell was cast, it ended up only happening once at the auction house, and at the end, everyone shed tears of gratitude for Seira.

The person who bought it was happy to have solved the crisis, and Seira felt good to be praised by people.

‘Isn’t it a good thing in the end because there is no loss to either side?’

But Seira couldn’t bear to say that out loud. The way he was able to do it was because the slave act of hiding his power was easily forgotten by people.

But now, the child named Shiron remembered all of his actions.

“Kid. Stand here.”

Since she didn’t want to use that as an excuse to make fun of her, Seira quietly prepared to teleport.

Shiron looked back and stared at Yuma.

Since there was only one person who could accompany Seira’s teleportation, Encia left for the mansion first. Now it was time to say goodbye to Yuma.

“Yuma. Thank you.”

“No, of course it has to be done.”

Yuma gave Shiron a warm smile, coloring the cold expression he had made a moment ago.

Seira couldn’t bear to join in on the two’s greetings.

It wasn’t because I was dumbfounded by Yuma’s conflicting attitude, but because I was seeing Yuma’s expression for the first time in my life.

‘Where is the poison going? I’m just acting like a mother.’

“Take a deep breath. You’ll feel a little queasy.”

A hand with fluctuating mana touched Siron’s shoulder.

*

The place we arrived was a corner of the mansion.

Siron stepped forward with a slightly unsteady foot and placed his hand on the wall. I couldn’t control my body properly because of the dizziness, but I gritted my teeth and tried to stand upright.

The work did not end just because we returned to the mansion.

Shiron wiped off the cold sweat and looked at Seira.

“Now, do as I said yesterday.”

“…okay.”

Seira activated Polymorph and took on the appearance of Elise.

“And lift the mind control I placed on Siriel.”

“…I heard you didn’t walk other than that time.”

Siron calmed his breathing and walked slowly.

“Is there anyone strong in this mansion?”

“…there is.”

Seira said, concentrating her energy. The energy located in the center of the mansion was as powerful as Yuma.

“Good.”

Siron walked towards the main building, not the separate building. I need to meet Hugo and talk about the backlog and what to do next.

“But isn’t it too much of a hassle? I wonder if we really need to do this.”

“You don’t know, but I feel a great debt of gratitude to my uncle. He is like a father who took care of me, so how can you behave like that?”

“…That’s right.”

Arriving in front of Hugo’s office, Siron took a deep breath and knocked.

-Come in.

Permission came from the other side of the door with a heavy voice.

“It’s been a while since I saw you, uncle.”

Siron bowed to Hugo.

“What brings you here this time?”

Was it because he disappeared from the mansion without saying a word? Hugo’s voice toward Siron seemed somewhat cold.

“I’m planning to leave the mansion for a while.”

“Is it because of the bill?”

“The bill?”

“Yes. Well, you wrote a lot.”

Hugo held out a piece of paper to Siron. It was an ordinary card usage statement. But since it wasn’t important right now, Shiron quietly put the paper in his arms. Since it was a debt with no set deadline, I had no intention of paying it back right away.

More than that.

“Don’t worry. I can pay it all off on my own anyway.”

Siron spoke confidently to Hugo. And Seira, who had been standing behind her, came forward. A shadow fell over Hugo’s face as he looked at Seira, who had always looked like Elise.

“Who? You?”

“I am Seira Romer. The seeker of ten thousand demons and the greatest magic…”

match!

Feeling the burning pain in her butt, Seira quickly turned around.

“What. What! Why are you hitting me!”

“Why are you so arrogant? Don’t you speak up?”

“I-I’m over 600 years old! What’s the point of a human being hundreds of years younger than me…”

match!

“Don’t talk back. Why are you talking rudely when I’m talking politely?”

“…”

Hugo watched the conversation between the two with a puzzled expression. Judging from the form of their conversation, the relationship between the two seemed unusual. I put a lot of weight on Eldrina’s request to punish my nephew, but it was all in vain when the situation turned out like this.

“Uncle.”

“…okay.”

“Anyway, I’m going to leave the mansion for a few years. I’ll be back by the coming-of-age ceremony. Don’t worry too much. And… um…”

As if choosing what to say, Shiron licked her lips.

“Do you have any questions?”

I was going to talk about Hugo’s death, but I needed to prepare my mind more than I thought.
