4.
After successfully cursing Syrpy.
Unlike Syrupy, whose complexion was considerably darkened, a bright smile bloomed on Noah's lips. It was because I finally found a guide in the desert..
By the time the conversation is over.
“So, is the business over??”
“Yes, thank you Count for your cooperation..”
At Istan's words, Noah bowed his head respectfully. But then, a blonde girl who had been silent all of a sudden stepped forward..
“huh? Ibella?”
Noah asks questioningly.
but no answer came back.
Ibella just took a hard step with a hard face and approached Syrpy..
“Sylphy.”
“Lee, Isabella?”
“I heard Everything, even the fact that you're from a heathen, and that you came here for a purpose..”
A calm voice scattered in the air.
On the other hand, her eyes were burning with complex emotions. Afterwards, she took a deep breath and asked, narrowing her eyes..
“However, I have only heard this through others, so I will ask you directly..”
“that, that's it…….”
“What I said earlier is true?”
Ibella calmly asked Syrpy, who was trying to evade the answer with a pale face..
A strange feeling of pressure weighing down your body.
Seeing a feeling similar to the pressure he felt from Istan, Syrpy could only nod his head in silence with a pale face..
“……okay. I see.”
actually it was weird.
The first time she felt a sense of incongruity was during summer vacation, when Estan left a message asking Sylphy to deliver a letter..
「It's because I've had a pretty close relationship with the Ludhina family since they were in the desert..」
At the time, I just assumed that Sylphy's family was in the desert and passed on. But if you think a little deeper, this doesn't make sense..
Because Count Deorg's family is the only one guarding the border with the desert. Ibela sighed and looked at Syrpy..
“So, approaching me and Ulan must have been planned from the beginning..”
“That's not it! never!”
Syrpy hurriedly denied it..
Ibella reflexively looked back at Dillia and she nodded wordlessly. It meant that Sirpi's words were not lies..
It made me feel a little better, but it didn't really change my mind. So, I was about to say something, but then I turned around..
“sorry for interrupting.”
“ok no.”
Noah shook his head..
I could understand why Ibella suddenly intervened. Isabella and Syrpy had a very close relationship in this episode, so.
‘however…….’
Shirpy is actually a heretic who can be said to be the Empire's nemesis. It's natural to feel anxious. Maybe you feel betrayed.
So Noah shuts his mouth..
Afterwards, a voice suddenly broke the silence in a somewhat awkward atmosphere..
“One last question.”
It was Ulan.
He, who usually kept his eyes on the abyss, looked at Syrpy with a nonsensical face, as if he had not read the current atmosphere at all..
“I want to ask what Rudrick's family is..”
“oh that's…….”
“I'll explain instead.”
Istan who intercepted Sirfi's answer.
He soon summarized and delivered the story about Rudric's family, and Ulan, who heard this, muttered with an interested face..
“amazing Are there two more like that?.”
The moment the low voice stopped.
Sylphy suddenly shook her shoulders..
Judging from the answer he just gave, Ulan sounded as if he had seen Rudric's family in person. So he asked cautiously.
“Hey, that's why I'm asking. Have you ever seen Rudric's family in person??”
“there is.”
“yes? Gee, really?!”
Shirpy is startled.
Surprisingly, Istan was the same..
Rudrick's family, which has been revealed so far, is a mysterious bird, a poisonous snake, and a white wolf.).
Among them, Goose and Venomous Snake are in the desert, and Ulan said he has never been to the desert..
‘then…….’
there is only one answer.
It means that he personally saw Baekrang, who is said to have been sealed in the academy. In response, Istan immediately asked back with a hardened expression on his face..
“when? where did you see?”
“I saw you at the dorm yesterday.”
Ulan replied without hesitation..
Istan immediately frowned at the absurd answer. because he thought he was joking.
“In this situation, such a joke…….”
“I'm not kidding. Call me if you don't believe me.”
Ulan interrupted Istan and shook his head. Then he lifted his foot and stamped it on the ground, talking to him into the air..
“come out.”
A calm voice scattered in the air.
Did you find this situation absurd? Shirpy burst out laughing as if he was full of spirits..
“Ha, don't be kidding me. Baekrang hiding in the fog isn't some kind of dog next door, and there's no way she'll come out saying that.…….”
In the meantime, Syrpy closed his mouth..
It was because the forest was suddenly covered with thick fog. Moments later, dozens of wolves howled were heard from beyond the fog..
“……uh?”
Syrupy's eyes became wide..
I deserved it.
According to the records of Rudrick's family, it was said that whenever Baekrang appeared, the howls of wolves could be heard along with the fog..
and at that moment.
[Grrrrr!]
A huge white wolf emerged from Ulan's shadow. The being called Rudric's dog by the Lords of the Abyss.
It was the White Rang of Mimu..
“……!?”
The moment he saw this, Syrupy widened his eyes..
His mouth was so wide open that he showed no sign of closing. The white wolf in front of me had a shape that perfectly matched the record..
“I really!? no how……?!”
She can't speak properly.
On the other hand, Istan instinctively judged that it was Rudrick's family at Sirfi's reaction. Then, I was immediately intrigued..
‘king of demons.’
A monster that is said to be impossible to fight unless you are a master. Recalling this, Istan poured out a strong murderous intent toward Baekrang..
Then an immediate response came.
[gurrureung!]
Huge eyes glared at Istan..
Although he reacted with murderous intent, he did not shrink at all. Rather, he even snorted as if it were funny, and Istan's eyebrows twitched..
then.
perok!
“just stare.”
Baekrang's head turned with a dull sound. Ulan swung his palm and hit Baekrang on the head..
[Greung! greung!]
Baekrang retorts as if he was unfair.
But now, without Perticia, there was no way Ulan could understand that..
In the end, Baekrang fell face down on the floor with a sullen look on his face. Shirpy had a dazed expression as if he had been tamed by Ulan..
“Mmm, this is definitely amazing.”
Istan bursts with admiration.
Even to him, it seemed that Ulan had perfectly tamed Baekrang. So, as if curious, I turned to Ulan and asked..
“Can you tell me the whole story?”
“Got it.”
It wasn't particularly difficult.
Ulan explained how he first met Baekrang. In the process, it is also revealed that Syrpy pulled her stake and tried to unseal her..
“Well, that's when I pulled out the stake.…….”
“grow.”
Syrpy was at a loss for words again..
I feel like I've been taken away from the table that I prepared. I felt even more absurd when I heard that the stake was simply pulled out by force..
“……Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Ludrick's family, the white wolf hiding in the fog.
With the purpose of entering the academy ahead of him, Syrupy smiled dejectedly. And as time passed, her laughter gradually turned to crying..
“Ugh, ugh! hi! Aaaaaang!”
Sylphy sits down and wails.
She couldn't stop crying like an unhappy child. Such a mournful sob lingered in the forest until a long time passed..
5.
some time after that.
Ulan and Istan returned to the academy with Sirpi, who was completely stunned..
Afterwards, when I threw Syrpy into the dormitory.
A person waiting for Istan in front of the building appeared. It was his henchman.
“Sir, we are ready to depart..”
The servant, accompanied by two horses, bowed his head respectfully while holding the reins..
Meanwhile, Noah and Ibela looked surprised at the word preparation for departure. Ulan also asked back, somewhat surprised..
“hmm? Are you going back right away??”
“That's right. As long as there is a new leader, it is impossible to leave the front line empty..”
An army of seething demons.
Here, even the pagans who gather due to the birth of a new religious leader. The current situation in the desert was literally just before the storm..
“then the fight?”
“I'm sorry, but I'll postpone it until later.”
Istan let out a deep sigh..
It was a natural reaction. He wanted to fight against Ulan more than anyone else. But now there was something far more important than that..
Assignment as a Knight of the Empire.
holding the southern front. It was to fulfill the mission of the Deorg family. Just as he was about to mount the horse, he suddenly looked back at Noah..
“Come to think of it, did you guys say you were leaving after winter break started??”
“Yes, I think that would be a good time.”
Noah silently nodded..
In my heart, I wanted to leave right away, but there were many things to prepare in many ways. And Ulan also had a reason for delaying his departure..
“There are still things to solve.”
“Yes? what is it?”
“I'm talking about the watchful eye..”
Last week, at the time of the student body president election.
Iris and Camilla said in unison that they felt an unidentified stare. And Ulan has not yet grasped the identity of this gaze..
“i have to find it.”
So I set my eyes on fire.
Meanwhile, Ybela and Dillia tilted their heads at Ulan's words..
“but the problem is…….”
“You said it was already solved?”
The unidentified gaze that I felt all the time.
Iris and Camilla concluded that the identity of that gaze was Elvin, the rival candidate. In fact, after Erwin was arrested, his gaze disappeared..
“I still care.”
To put it bluntly, it is the instinct of a warrior..
Before leaving for the desert, I thought that I had to find out the identity of the gaze somehow..
When you keep insisting on this.
“Oh, don't worry about that.”
Noah smiled brightly as he listened to the story..
As if there is a way to solve the problem.
“I've got a solution.”
“really?”
“Yeah, you'll probably know what I mean by the end of the final exams..”
A meaningful smile bloomed on your lips.
He didn't elaborate on the solution, but Ulan didn't hesitate to ask. Instead, he just silently nodded..
“Well, then I'll believe you.”
Because it was the words of Noah and no one else.
By the time the conversation about the unidentified gaze was over, Istan also got on the horse and finished preparations for departure..
“Then I'll excuse myself.”
After exchanging farewell glances with Ibella, Istan turned his head..
Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something he had forgotten, he looked back at Ulan and his party and said,.
“Later, when you head to the desert, stop by the southern front for a moment. I will prepare the necessary items for the trip.”
“yes, thank you for the favor.”
“and…….”
He was silent for a moment and looked at Ulan..
It was with a grinning smile.
“At that time, I also ask for sparring.”
“welcome any way.”
Ulan also laughed coolly..
After a hearty goodbye, Istan rode his horse straight to the front door. Noah's eyes twinkled as he watched his back disappear quickly..
‘With this, the desert side is solved.’
I heard the story I wanted to hear from Syrpy, and further secured her as a guide..
In addition, the situation in which Istan's cooperation was obtained.
With this, it is safe to say that preparations for heading to the desert were virtually complete..
‘The remaining problem is…….’
The only thing to do is to solve the situation Perticia is in..
Noah gazed intently at the western sky, remembering Perticia, who had not been able to come here due to Rimmer Jen Lapidis' call..
It was in the direction of Perticia's accommodation..
