Chapter 269
dawn.
The time when only the moonlight still illuminates the world.
Stella wakes up.
Wake up after 13 hours.
Maybe it’s because he slept soundly for the first time in a while, but his complexion is incomparably better than before.
“… … hungry.”
Is it because the condition has returned to some extent? An appetite that had never been thought of so far is slowly poking its head out.
Stella slowly got out of bed and headed for the kitchen on the first floor of the mansion.
“miss!”
That’s how you get to the first floor.
The butler, who was on duty on the first floor, ran to Stella with her eyes wide open.
“The body… … Are you feeling better!?”
“yes. are you okay.”
As if the butler was genuinely relieved, he wiped his chest.
“Fortunately, the. I’m so glad.”
“sorry. Just because of me… … .”
He sincerely apologized to the butler who must have suffered because of him.
“it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about it at all. Compared to my worries, the young lady’s heartache… … .”
The butler stopped talking and kept his mouth shut.
The expression that made a mistake.
I shouldn’t have said anything reminiscent of Luan Palatia in front of Stella now.
to make such a mistake
“are you okay. That thing now… … .”
Stella laughed Betsy.
An expression that doesn’t show the core of the heart at all.
It looked like it had all been washed away.
The butler’s expression was genuinely moved.
“You have grown… … .”
They were truly moved by the image of Stella, who overcame her heartache and grew even more.
“… … Ahaha.”
Stella smiled with a mysterious expression. The butler is now making a grand illusion.
The reason Stella is getting better now isn’t because her heartache has healed.
Because the cause of the wound has disappeared.
‘… … I can’t tell.’
The fact that Luan Palatia’s true identity is Shin Ha-yul is a top secret among top secrets.
The only people in Binosugar who know that are Stella and Sein.
I can’t say that even though I’m a butler.
That’s why I didn’t deny the butler’s words.
Even if it stings my conscience a little, it’s neat to pretend that I’ve grown up.
“I must deliver this good news to the head of the household as soon as possible.”
The butler, deeply moved, said such a thing.
‘My mother must already know.’
Even Sein knew that the true identity of Luan Palatia was Shin Ha Yul.
Of course you know that Stella will be fine.
then… … .
“I’ll tell my mother myself.”
“ah! That would be great. All right.”
The butler smiled heartily.
Stella’s appearance completely returned to her normal state made me smile.
“Is your mother in the room?”
“no. Right now, the head of the household is in the underground training ground.”
“… … An underground training ground?”
“yes. Today, I went to the underground training ground with Shin Ha-yul… … He hasn’t come out since.”
“With Shin Ha-yul… … . So are you still with me?”
“no. That’s not it. Shin Ha-yul passed away a long time ago.”
“ah… … . okay.”
I thought I could talk about things I couldn’t do before.
I’m a little sorry.
“Then we should go underground.”
Originally, I was going to go see my mother after lightly solving the problem.
My mind has changed.
‘I care too much about what my mother is doing.’
What is the reason for a swordsman who has already peaked at the training ground for about 10 hours?
What the hell are you doing at the training ground all this time?
I care.
I care so much.
“That, not now.”
“No?”
“There was an order not to let anyone in unless otherwise stated.”
“me too?”
“I said everyone, so maybe… … .”
“… … is it so?”
Curiosity grew.
What the hell are you doing, why did you even issue a congratulatory order?
“I do care, but… … . I can’t help it if it’s my mother’s order.”
“… … yes.”
Curiosity is curiosity.
An order is an order.
As long as the head of the Binosu family told them not to let anyone in, that order must be obeyed.
Stella licked her lips in regret.
Beep!
It was then that the watchman’s radio beeped.
It’s not even an ordinary beeping sound.
A beep indicating the contact of the head of state.
This radio was from Sein Binoche.
– Ask them to come in.
“… … ?”
Sae-in tells me to come in without giving.
A question mark appeared in the butler’s head.
―Stella doesn’t care. you may come in
Only then did the butler, who had completed his assessment of the situation, widen his eyes.
Sein Binoche was fully aware of the current situation here.
‘There is no way to check this place in the underground training ground… … How?’
As the underground training ground is literally designed for the secret training of the Binosuga clan, nothing is connected to the outside world.
There is no way for Saint Binoche to know the situation here.
But how on earth do you know the situation here?
-What. It’s a pretty exciting training right now. It’s just that the senses are sharper than necessary.
Sein smiled a little.
-Oh yeah. butler. Get your clothes properly organized. The Binosu family’s butler would not stand a chance when he was in such a state.
“How are my clothes… … . ah!”
As soon as the butler checked his clothes, his eyes widened.
He had just come running hurriedly, and his clothes were quite disheveled.
“This… … how… … .”
-I told you. My senses are a bit sharp right now.
Goosebumps ran through the butler’s body.
I was surprised that my thoughts were read, but what was even more surprising was that my senses were sharp.
‘Sain-nim’s sensing ability has grown even further. It’s also incomparable to before.’
Detecting outside energy inside the underground training ground with mana barriers for secrecy.
It was an acrobatics impossible for Sein before.
“… … What are you doing?”
Stella, who had been quietly appraising the situation by her side, opened her mouth alludingly.
Stella also noticed that something had happened to Sein.
-If you are curious, come and see for yourself.
Sein smiled.
that was the last radio
“I’ll be back.”
Stella handed the walkie-talkie to the butler with a dazed expression.
Then, as if possessed by something, he moved to the underground training ground.
“mother. I’m here… … .”
What did Stella see when she arrived at the underground training ground?
“This… … .”
“Did you come?”
The figure of Saint Binoche, who was lying sprawled on the floor, breathing heavily.
“What is this… … .”
“Oh, you mean this?”
It was a panoramic view of a completely destroyed training ground.
A training ground made so strong that it cannot be damaged even with moderate high-circle magic.
Such a training ground was torn like a piece of rag and was in a state of being crushed.
“just. I swung the sword with excitement, so it ended up like this.”
Sein, who was sprawled on the floor, smiled with a refreshing expression.
“I’m sorry, but I think I’ll have to train elsewhere for a while.”
“no… … that’s not the problem… … .”
Stella looked at the training ground again with a blank expression.
If ten typhoons compressed to a size of 1/1000 were released here, wouldn’t it look like this?
“really… … What did you do?”
“I didn’t do anything.”
While Sain was lying down, he raised his head further and looked up at Stella standing above him.
“just. my past… … I just looked back at Binosugar’s past and myself.”
Sein smiled brightly.
It was an innocent smile like a child receiving a present from Santa on Christmas.
“What is that… … .”
Stella tilted her head at the words that she couldn’t understand.
“Be happy. daughter.”
“… … ?”
Sain looked at Stella’s blank eyes and smiled sincerely.
“you and I… … And we can be even stronger.”
“… … ??”
The question continued to grow in Stella’s mind.
* * *
dawn.
Following Mimir’s advice, I entered the page of the sixth trial.
I asked if it would be better to go in after a little more preparation.
I just said go in now.
The preparation is enough for now.
The moment the page of the sixth test opened, everything was ready.
They said it was better to go in now.
so i just came in
Until now, I’ve never been harmed by listening to Mimir.
As long as Mimir asserted that, it was right to follow him.
Well, honestly, I wondered what kind of exam and what kind of examiner would be waiting for me on the page of the sixth exam.
What new world and knowledge will await me?
With that thought in mind, I entered the page of the sixth test, full of excitement.
“hmm. I was waiting.”
But what is this?
On the page of the sixth test, a person I never imagined was waiting for me.
“Come on. The bonnyeo welcomes you.”
Long green hair that goes below the waist.
A splendid robe that seemed to assert that she was a princess to anyone’s eyes.
“First, I should introduce the original girl. Her original daughter’s name is Mimir Bel by Tenor. She is the only direct descendant of Leigh Belle by-tenor, the founder of the bi-tenor style you are acquiring.”
Mimir.
she was waiting for me
“What is your name?”
It’s like you don’t know me at all.
Like I don’t know at all.
Such is Mimir.
“My words. Are you listening?”
“uh? uh. I’m listening… … .”
My head was complicated.
I can’t understand the situation at all.
what’s going on now?
“Hmm. It’s a very friendly tone from the beginning. How about manners, did you even sell it to the warlocks?”
Mimir glared at me with his ax eye.
Seeing him make eye contact with those sharp eyes, I felt relieved for some reason.
‘The Mimir I know is right.’
I felt like everything was different except for my appearance. That expression is just like the Mimir I know.
Because of that, I immediately felt at ease.
“… … Smile even after being sold. He is a strange fellow.”
Mimir looked at me with the look of a rare animal.
“okay. I’ve read it in a book. I’m sure people like you are masochists… … .”
“no.”
I quickly denied it because it seemed like there was some serious misunderstanding.
“A strong negative is a positive. understood.”
“… … Because it is not.”
“hmm. Was it a reverse i get it. I’ll leave it like that.”
Mimir nodded a couple of times with an expression of understanding. It was a look he didn’t understand at all.
“therefore… … .”
“Let’s stop talking about this. It’s because her original daughter doesn’t have the hobby of poking at the wounds of others.”
“… … .”
something doesn’t make sense
It’s a world apart from the usual Mimir.
Isn’t that the real Mimir I know?
“Aren’t you acting?”
“performance?”
Mimir frowned slightly, not knowing what he was talking about. It was a reaction that was too natural for her to be acting.
“You just say and do things that I can’t understand from one to ten. This kind of person is the successor… … . You are worried.”
Mimir frowned with a serious expression on his face.
It is an expression of worry about the future.
“So will I be able to pass this test?”
test.
At those words, my head suddenly went cold.
okay. It’s about understanding the situation, first of all, you need to focus on the exam.
For details, go to the page of the sixth test and ask Mimir.
That’s how I ended up organizing my thoughts.
“but. That’s not something for her to worry about. If you fail the test, that means you were just a man.”
Mimir smiled with a rather cold expression.
“Then we will start the test right away.”
Mimir muttered with a solemn expression.
“From now on, go to the place I am talking about, receive recognition from the people there and come back.”
“… … admit?”
“okay. She is accepted if she comes to her with her recognition.”
Mimir grinned.
An expression that said, “If you can get recognition somewhere, come and see it.”
It looked like he was confident that I would never be recognized.
As I looked at that expression, I felt a surge of emotion.
It hurts my pride like this.
“Where should I go?”
“The great forest to the east. Greenwood Forest.”
“green… wood?”
“okay.”
Speaking of someone who lives there… … .
no way.
wouldn’t it?
“The wizard of the forest who is hiding there. Elena Law Greenwood. Get acknowledged by Elena.”
“… … .”
… … right?
‘What’s really going on?’
The already complicated mind became even more complicated.
