Episode 60

The appearance of a proper Shinsu was amazing.

The overall shape and long snout were reminiscent of a wolf, but the size of a garden, the mane that crossed the back, the pure white fur that glistened in the sunlight, and the purple horns towering above the head contributed to creating a mysterious atmosphere.

“… Shinsoo! How can you tell outsiders!”

“What’s the problem with entrusting it to the ancestors who helped me?”

Similar to Bestla, but with slightly different telepathy.

“However… !”

“stop. Because of this incident, I have no choice but to sleep for a long time, and I have chosen him as a guardian for that.”

“Then our elves… .”

“Looking at how this happened… , I’m a little skeptical if I can entrust the protection to the elves.”

Natasha bit her lip at Shinsu’s answer.

Even from her point of view, the elf’s response to this incident was disappointing.

‘If Reinhardt didn’t support me… .’

In the following, a situation that may have happened, she hastily erased her imagination.

“He purified me, warded off evil, and protected the forest. So the qualifications are sufficient.”

Natasha looked at Julius for a moment in response to the decisive answer from the Shinsu, and answered with a shy expression.

“… Even if the egg has no choice, we will protect it while you sleep.”

Shinsu stared at her and nodded.

“Leave it to me.”

In response, Natasha sighed in relief.

After answering, the divine beast ignored her and handed the egg to Julius.

“Thanks to you, I was able not to fall. It can’t be said as a reward, but if you could be the guardian of this child… .”

“Yes, I will! I will definitely become the guardian of the young divine beast.”

Julius nodded his head without thinking.

[Stop the warlock trying to corrupt the divine beast, and save the divine beast within the time limit! (completion)]

‘Crazy, the question mark reward is the egg of the divine beast?’ He remembered the supporting actor who dealt with the divine beast, Hae-ryong in the original work.

The power that was terribly powerful and the ability to cause tidal waves.

‘You must get it.’

If I could only receive this, it was an advantage even if I couldn’t strengthen the ‘Rainbow Magic Eye’ through the power of the divine beast.

“I beg you. and… 》

Shinsu, who looked at Julius with warm eyes, turned to Allen.

As soon as the divine beast’s eyes touched, Bestla moved arbitrarily and floated in front of Allen. Allen quickly grabbed the handle of the sword, whoever it was.

“Who are you looking at? I wanted him first, right?”

I couldn’t read Shinsu’s expression accurately, but… , maybe he was smiling bitterly.

“For you… , I already have a path to walk, so I’ll give you this instead.”

“Shin-soo, that’s… !”

drip-

The remaining elves shouted in amazement, but Shinsu didn’t seem to mind, and took off the only horn and blew it out.

“Don’t resist. There is no malice.”

The purple horns turned into powder in an instant and flew to Allen.

‘Should I avoid it?’

No, I’m not going to repay the favor.

Allen tensed and inhaled the purple powder that was coming through his breath.

The moment the powder is absorbed into the body through breathing.

“… This!”

The senses are expanded.

Instead of the pulsating magic in the core, the external magic began to circle around her body like a wave.

According to the will in the sense of sense spread, the external magic naturally adapted. Allen realized that he could use magic at will at any time in sync with his inner magic.

“Wow… , the body of a giant and the heart of a dragon. Now to the sensibility of the phantom species? Don’t you have a chimera?”

It was a new sensation, and it was a blessing.

However, it was a short while before he tasted that sensation, and his five senses were suddenly amplified, and a huge pain struck him.

“Allen, Allen? what! hey! what is this… !」

My vision expands like crazy and my head turns dizzy.

The sound of falling leaves turned into thunder and hit my ears, and all kinds of smells mixed in the breath I took, causing me to vomit.

Her skin sting as if it had been cut by the wind, and she couldn’t feel anything on her tongue due to her sensitivity above a certain level.

“Wow… !”

Allen’s face turned white at the ideal of the five senses that supported his body.

“Hey, it’s still early.”

As if Shinsou had not expected it, he breathed once more, and Allen breathed in a breath of purple and other turquoise.

“Hey, huh… .”

Allen, who took a deep breath several times, was relieved at the feeling of returning to normal again.

‘More than a certain amount of sense is rather close to a curse.’

Shinsoo apologized sombly as if he was sorry.

“I’m sorry. I had no intentions, so please forgive me.”

“it’s okay. I know it wasn’t intentional.”

“The sensitivity is blocked. If you can afford it, you can use it, so from now on, there will be no such thing as this.”

As Shinsoo said, as he slowly recalled his senses, he felt his five senses gradually become more sensitive.

As far as he can handle it.

‘Still, it’s several times my usual sense… .’

I had no idea how much power it would contribute if used well.

Allen smiled and thanked him.

Julius, who was happy with a slightly subtle expression, was annoying, but he wasn’t embarrassed because he had expected it to some extent.

‘Is the unexpected thing on my side… .’

I was just trying to find the traces of my brother through the ordeal of the divine beast, but I didn’t think I would get such a reward.

After that, Shinsu tried to bless the knights commander who came after the search. But he refused, saying he didn’t want to mix even a single impurity with him.

The elves were astonished to see that again.

“sorry. Shin-soo.”

However, the knight commander did not give up his opinion.

The elves would have already shouted arrogance, but thanks to their help, they respected his choice.

Soon enough, Enelia, who had finished what Allen had asked, stood by him.

“… thanked. Confucius.”

“no. Princess Natasha. We can only hope that our relationship will be restored.”

“I will do my best to resolve that matter.”

Allen left the forest for the last time to say goodbye to the elves.

Julius stole Natasha’s back with eyes full of regret until the end, and Camilla stared at Julius as if determined.

Allen shouted while watching Enelia asking questions to Linbell, who had a different mood.

“Return to the Territory!”

Time to go back to the mansion.

‘Now in a few months… .’

Finally, the time has come to head to the academy.

A tombstone is erected for the dead.

But the dead don’t need tombstones.

Tombstones are for the living.

To commemorate the dead, to remember the living.

If so, who is the tombstone of the living for?

“Happy birthday, Confucius Julius!”

“I’ve heard of the feat in the forest! That you were really great… .”

shoot-

Allen walked alone down the dark hallway.

Outside, it was pouring with heavy rain. Dark clouds devoured the light of the sky greedily.

“Confucius, with the jewels carved in our estate… .”

“I don’t know what Julius-sama would like, wine made 200 years ago… .”

The noise of the banquet hall was heard in the distance.

In the dark hallway, there was nobody but Allen.

“Ho, maybe the egg next to him is the one of the rumor… .”

“The story that Confucius Julius has changed is really surprising… .”

to the place he’s headed.

“Hahaha, thank you very much. everyone.”

It has already been over a year since I returned from the forest of divine beasts.

Meanwhile, rumors spread and things in the forest spread around the area, and many nobles were interested.

“Thank you to everyone who came to the banquet to celebrate my birthday.”

To the extent of attending an invitation from a family that had been neglected in the meantime, using Julius’ birthday as an excuse.

“As we approach the end of the year, we wish you a Happy New Year, always good… .”

Their purpose is not purely to celebrate a birthday, but it doesn’t matter.

The purpose of the family is to let them know that they are still alive.

The flower garden that I had arrived in after a long time was still full of flowers in full bloom.

A damp wind brushed his face, and it was in a corner of a familiar path.

small stone tower.

A place I built myself right after I returned home, and I come back to it many times when I am in the mansion.

But was it because of the strong wind?

“… It collapsed.”

Allen knelt down on the floor. He didn’t mind getting dirt on his clothes.

Then he began to slowly build up the stone tower again. The stones submerged in the light pile of dirt were covered with moss and smelled fishy.

What does this action mean?

Allen smiled bitterly, erasing the thoughts that came to her mind. Shortly thereafter, the stone tower was erected again.

“… There is not much time left to see this.”

crooked. Allen looked at the stone tower that looked like it was about to collapse.

no name

No bodies, no relics.

even advice.

It is just an empty cry that has no meaning, no meaning, no value.

It’s just to remember him who died in his memory.

Even if it’s just an act of self-satisfaction. Allen opened his mouth as if I was really speaking to my brother.

“… my brother.”

This is not my real brother’s grave.

He didn’t think his lost brother was dead, nor did he give up on getting it back.

Still, Allen spoke up. She couldn’t stop talking.

“It has already passed like this.”

I saw you in a forgotten dream

“A lot has happened during that time. There were some new resolutions, and some new realizations.”

Is that real or fake? Or maybe it’s an illusion of ordeal.

“How are you? you’ll be fine I can’t remember, but… If it were you, you would.”

Maybe it’s a terrible delusion.

“A lot of nobles have come to visit us this time.”

nevertheless, even so.

“Isn’t it your birthday today?”

Wouldn’t it be a little unfair if no one really congratulated you?

“So it’s a gift.”

He took off the stopper of the wine he was holding.

“It’s my favorite drink. I hope you are satisfied.”

Allen forcibly raised the corners of his lips.

Maybe it was because he had been outside for a long time, and the water droplets on his face felt a little hot.

“For Julius-sama’s sixteenth birthday!”

“for!”

Behind the dripping wine, the voices in the banquet hall spread like ripples.

The spilled liquor mixed with the raindrops and seeped through the stone tombs.

“Wow! Congratulations!”

Allen opened his mouth, savoring the cheers in his ears.

I believe you will be alive. always, ever

“Sixteenth birthday, sincerely… .”

So, please… .

“Congratulations.”

Until I kill him, I hope to find you.

I sincerely hoped

Then, a sound was heard.

The sound of hurried footsteps. Allen’s eyes turned coldly to where the sound was heard.

The window corridor on the second floor of the mansion.

Allen wiped the raindrops off his face, triggering his senses. Her black seal moved at high speed.

‘Who is it? Knight Commander? Enelia or Linbell?’

Maybe it was one of the guests who came to the family this time.

However, before Allen’s senses could reach, someone quickly disappeared into the banquet hall.

Allen stopped his sense of touch that had reached just before the banquet hall.

“… You are one step late.”

It is a great disrespect to sense the body of the nobles.

There was no way for the escorts they had brought there to be allowed to look after their masters, so we had to end it here.

Allen got up from his seat.

Now it was time to go back to the usual.

A self that always showed perfect appearance and was full of leeway.

The first Confucius of the Reinhardt family.

Beneath the gray-painted sky, gray stones were washed away by the heavy rain.

A stone tomb for Allen.

Time passed like a flowing stream.

Winter, which dyed the world white, has passed, and spring, when new life has begun to sprout, is approaching.

Allen met Arcanthus, who had come to the city after completing his organization.

“… It’s a little late to organize the organization. sorry.”

The Arcandus we met again was different from before.

Unlike his previous appearance when he was drunk, he wore a neat suit and lowered his head in a modest posture with his intelligent eyes exposed.

“You have a very different attitude than before.”

“Since you are nominally my master, shouldn’t we share the public and private life?”

Still, he added a word.

“… Unless you want to be bitten by a crazy dog.”

Allen grinned at the sight.

Enelia, who was with him, looked at him with an annoyed expression, but Arcandus snorted as if to say something, and didn’t even care.

Allen certainly thought this was more fitting.

‘It’s better than hiding your plans by fully bowing down.’

Arcanthus raised his bowed head.

“What can we do?”

Allen brought him back to what he had told Soned and Karik.

It is said that illegal black trade has recently occurred in the territory, and it is difficult to catch it because it is carried out in secret.

“I’ll just have to get more information from the two people you’ll be working with.”

Arcanthus nodded quietly.

I expected to take on such chores. Wouldn’t it be strange to leave the manpower you’ve gathered at the end of the day?

“and… The most important thing you have to do is gather people.”

“A person, you say?”

As Arcandus cast his doubts, Allen said lightly.

“You just have to do what you normally do.”

“Isn’t it good to attract people who have a grudge against Julius?”

Perhaps he sensed something from Allen’s words, Arcandus gave a stiff expression.

“Where are you going to use them? .”

Could it be that they suffered the same damage as Julius again?

‘if not… , depending on their treatment, you might think about how to use them.’

Arcanthus was clever enough to dare to deceive him in front of him.

But Allen waved his hand to answer whatever he thought.

“You just have to do it as usual. If you find those who have been harmed because of Julius, help them.”

Allocate people to the right places and train them accordingly.

“You just have to wait.”

“When, I mean… ?”

I have no intention of using them as a force for battle.

“Preparation for the future, you can think of it that much.”

Arcandus had not yet fully penetrated Allen’s intentions, but nodded.

It seemed he didn’t want to tell me anyway, so it was better to do what he ordered.

“Then, what is the name of the newly created organization… .”

“You know that… .”

“Wait a minute!”

“I’ll choose the name! Let me decide!”

When Allen stopped speaking, Arcandus gave a puzzled look.

“Anything… ?”

“No, I just came up with a good name for a while.”

Arcandus nodded his head at Allen’s words.

“Oh, is it? If so, what name… .”

“Sk?ll, let’s do it!”

“Squall would be nice.”

“Squall, the wind that blows and stops suddenly… It sounds like a good name for our situation.”

Arcandus immediately agreed whether Allen’s, or to be more precise, Bestla’s naming skills were good.

“I will do it in that name.”

“Let’s take a break this week and start working next week. I will introduce the two people I will be working with soon.”

Three days have passed since the conversation with Arcandus was over, Soned and Karik met.

After putting them face to face with Arcanthus, Allen summoned them separately and opened their mouth.

“How did your request go, are you ready?”

Before going to the forest of divine beasts, I had secretly contacted them.

“Yes, there were things that were kept, so the preparation itself was easy.”

Allen looked at the mansion where Julius was staying with a smile on his face.

“Do as planned.”
