#A7
“···okay. “It’s a wish.”
“yes. Sita was born after drinking my dream. “Maybe other dream birds are like that too.”
Ronan nodded. After finishing his meeting with Sita, he returned to Varen’s office. Sita, who had returned to her original form, was dozing off with only her head sticking out of the window.
“Bwauuuung…Bwauu….”
Varen, who heard the secret of the dream bird, was happy as if he had achieved his lifelong dream. He closed the notebook after writing down every single piece of information.
“A question that has been shrouded in mystery for a long time has finally been resolved. “I really don’t know how to thank you for this.”
“What is gratitude? “The professor and Secret did everything.”
“Still, it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for Ronan and Sita. If there is anything you want, please let me know. “I will repay you with all my sincerity.”
“That’s what you want… then can you give me a few more of those magic scrolls?”
Ronan asked. Although she had a hard time missing something, the time she spent with Sita, who was transformed into a human, was quite enjoyable. Somehow, it seemed like a rehearsal for raising her soon-to-be-born child. Varen nodded her head willingly.
“Of course it’s possible. But can you give me a little time? “Because it is a very difficult magic, it requires more time to produce.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as I can get it. “We are still having fun.”
Ronan grinned. The biggest advantage of the peaceful times was that there was no need to rush in everything. Varen took a sip of tea and pointed to the egg on the desk.
“So what are you going to do with this?”
It was what Abel left behind. Varen continued in a serious tone.
“If you want to take action such as sealing or destroying it, I will help you.”
“Destruction?”
“yes. First of all, it’s not an ordinary dream bird’s egg. “If its existence were to become known to the public, there would be an uproar.”
The smile suddenly disappeared from Varen’s face. She had no idea that a suggestion to destroy animal eggs would come out of that mouth.
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. Now that all traces of Nebula Clage are being erased one by one, that egg was the only legacy left behind by Abel and the seed that could create a new disaster. Ronan, who was smoothing her chin, opened her mouth.
“no. “Just leave it alone.”
“What do you mean?”
“I will take responsibility for it. “I trust you will keep the secret about the egg.”
“Well, I’ll definitely keep it a secret, but are you sure it’s okay?”
Varen asked back in a voice filled with anxiety. Ronan got up. He picked up the egg and slowly pondered it.
“I know what the professor is worried about. If you plant beans and they grow, you might be worried that one day the egg will break and a second Abel will pop out. But Sita did not call Marfez, her biological mother, her mother.”
“That’s right. “I heard he was called a legend.”
“yes. I don’t know exactly what it is, but Sita likened the successor to someone who provided a home. What that means is that Abel has no influence on the beings that will be born here one day. “What’s important is whether Al is impressed by what kind of wish he accepts and drinks.”
The egg left behind by Abel still showed no change. No one knew what was pulsating inside that rough shell.
“There is no sin in the child being born. Of course, since the successor is such a bastard, you might feel uneasy. I know. Still, the reason I don’t step on it and destroy it right away…”
Suddenly, the moment of his last conversation with Abel flashed through Ronan’s mind. On the white sand beach with the red sea splashing, he clearly heard Abel’s last words. He chuckled as he trailed off.
“That bastard also said he was sorry in the end.”
“···indeed. “If that’s the case, I won’t stop you any longer.”
Varen smiled. In the first place, if Ronan, the discoverer of the egg, appeared like that, there was nothing to say.
Afterwards, the two people were talking about various things. Sigh. The door to the office opened and a familiar man and woman walked in. Balus opened her mouth.
“···I’m home.”
“oh. Balus.”
Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Balus’ face was haggard, as if he had not slept for three days. Erzsebet, with a blushing face, was bowing her head behind him.
“Uh, uh… Ronan. So… I am definitely Ronan’s child…”
“Yes, miss. “Has the misunderstanding been resolved now?”
“···yes. sorry.”
Erzsebet muttered. Looking at the truly shameless expression on his face, it seemed like Balus had explained it well. He suddenly stumbled and regained his balance by leaning on the wall.
“What, are you okay?”
“···I thought I was going to die. “You ended up lifting me into the air, saying you were one of those thugs… Ugh… I was really scared.”
Balus sobbed. Erzsebet’s face turned even redder. Although she had grown older and more mature, her fiery personality was something that could not be left behind.
“Ah, so I said I was really sorry. “I will definitely compensate you for the damage you suffered this time in the name of Acalusia…”
Still, he wasn’t a bad kid at all. You could tell she was trying her best to calm Balus, who was completely terrified. It was fortunate that Schlieffen and the descendants of the nobility that divided this country were in good spirits.
Suddenly, the words Nabirose said passed through my mind. Did she say that there are things about a woman that only a woman can help her with? Ronan, who was scratching her head, called Erzébet.
“Erzebet. “Follow me for a moment.”
“···yes? Ah, yes.”
Erzsebet flinched. The fear in his voice seemed to indicate that Ronan would be angry about this misunderstanding. Ronan took her to a corner of her office and opened her mouth.
“Erzebet. If you’re going to be on the island for a while, go see Adeshan. “Preferably right now.”
“Uh, to your sister? Why all of a sudden?”
“okay. I recently had a child. “I would be so happy if you went and congratulated me.”
“······What did you say?”
Erzsebet’s face hardened. As expected, she didn’t seem to have heard it yet. Perfect! Suddenly she snapped her fingers. At the same time, Ronan, who saw a translucent curtain surrounding her, curled his lips and admired her.
“Silent magic, after all, you are a good girl. “I instinctively knew it was a secret.”
“Now, wait a minute. Wait. What did you just say? “I guess I heard wrong, right?”
“Adeshan said he had a baby. “This time it’s really my child.”
“Well, well, well, what is that…!”
Erzsebet covered her mouth with both hands and froze. She managed to come to her senses and ran out of her office, screaming Ade Shan’s name. As the sound of her descending the stairs stopped, her voice echoed in Ronan’s head.
[congratulation! for now!]
“OK.”
Ronan chuckled at the reaction he expected. Varen, Sita, and Balus were looking at Erzebet and Ronan one after another with expressions full of doubt.
Judging by her personality, it is clear that she will make a fuss about naming her child herself, and I was looking forward to seeing which of Nabirose and the name she gave her would be chosen. Ronan looked out the window as it got dark and turned around.
“Then I’ll leave soon. See you again.”
“Oh, do you want to?”
It was a day with a lot going on. Varen stood up and shook hands. Ronan, who had said goodbye to Balus, was about to leave. He happened to look at the corner of the office and cursed.
“Fuck. “I forgot this.”
The sealing stones that Sita had spit out were rolling around on the floor. An ominous red light was seeping out from the amulets attached to each other. Varen said, clutching his mane.
“Wow, I forgot too. “You said it was something Sita brought from the New World, right?”
“yes. “Something terrible was sealed…”
Ronan frowned. If it had been committed on such a grand scale, something regrettable would definitely have been going on in the New World.
‘The owner must clean up the dog’s poop.’
Ronan, who was organizing the plan in his head, sighed. It bothered her to leave her pregnant girlfriend alone, but with Erzébet attached, she wouldn’t have any problems.
I guess I’ll just stop by the house and then leave right away. It was the moment when he woke up Sita and was about to go out. Suddenly his eyes were fixed on Sita’s cheek.
“hmm? This···.”
“Pyeol?”
A few strands of tulip-red hair were tangled in the black fur. It was long and shiny and gave me a strong sense of déjà vu. Ronan, examining her hair, snapped his fingers.
“This is Asher’s hair…aha.”
I felt like I knew why Sita had traveled to the New World. On the day he graduated from Phileon, Marya proudly declared that she would expand the Caravel merchants to the New World. And Asher said that he would accompany Marya as a guard to the top.
“Did you go to Asher and Marya?”
“Bwait!”
Sita shook her head in the affirmative. It seemed like he had followed those two to the New World. Suddenly, my heart relaxed. Ronan heaved a sigh of relief and muttered as if he was talking to himself.
“what. Then you don’t have to go.”
“hmm? “You’re not going?”
“yes. There is no need to go all the way to Asher when he is there. “It will take care of itself.”
Ronan declared. No matter what anyone says, the current Asher was one of the greatest wizards on the continent. He would have the ability to deal with whatever came out from inside the broken seal.
“The only thing that bastard Asher has to fear is Mary. So, professor, you can rest assured.”
“Wow, I certainly know how strong Asher is…”
Varen trailed off. It was true that when she heard that Asher was there, her nervousness dropped. Ronan, who was riding on Sita’s head, concluded his speech with a smile.
“Do not worry. “There won’t be any problem.”
****
“Stop it now…!”
It was a full moon night. Asher was running away by flying between the steep cliffs. There were several footsteps chasing him from about five hundred steps away.
A narrow road continued beneath his feet. Asher, who suddenly felt life threatening, turned his back and screamed.
“Hyaaaaaaa! Oh, don’t come!”
At the same time, Asher stretched out his arms. His invisible hand pushed the rock that was lying on the cliff. bang! A rock that fell down a cliff blocked the road. Asher, seeing that the sound of his footsteps had stopped, opened his mouth.
“Are you not following me anymore?”
His back was all wet with sweat. I no longer felt popular. Asher was just about to breathe a sigh of relief. Shhh! Dozens of human figures rose from the top of the rock blocking the road.
“Hehehe!”
Asher’s face turned pale. The shadows of the masked people with their backs to the moon were cast over Asher’s face. In each of their hands was a sword that had never been seen before. The one who appeared to be the leader shouted, pointing at Asher.
“Seeing that he is using suspicious magic, it is clear that he is a spy. “Kill it!”
