Helmut
Episode 306
“You decided to go to Sian’s house?”
The next day, Area woke up and checked while looking at her forehead, which was distorted due to a hangover.
She had completely lost her memory of last night. She has no recollection of what happened.
Helmut met his sharp gaze, asking why he had decided without asking him.
Isn’t this something you can decide for yourself?
A feeling of dissatisfaction similar to that of being oppressed by Darian sprouted, but Helmut responded without showing it.
“Yeah, I heard it’s not far from here.”
Area looked for a useful spell in this situation, but couldn’t think of one.
You can get rid of a hangover by using magic. But the problem was that I couldn’t concentrate to find and use that magic.
Since I don’t enjoy drinking in the first place, it was my first time being in this state. The snake liquor was really strong, and Alea was paralyzed by the thought of even having to use antidote magic.
‘It’s the first time I’ve ever felt this disheveled.’
Shaking her head, Alea remembered something else instead of a magic spell through her headache.
“… … This is the east side of the sacred barrier. Then it won’t be far. Green Cana’s… … Rodril, that must be the place.”
“Did you know about Sian’s family?”
Area shook her head.
“Xian is a spirit wizard. A spirit wizard’s abilities are not inherited through bloodline. They are more strongly influenced by their bloodline than a typical wizard’s family. And Xian can handle spirits of all attributes. That’s an amazing talent. A talent you can never have if you were not born into a family of powerful spirit wizards. The downside is that there is nothing special about it. So I had a guess. Sian must be from a family of spirit wizards. “It’s also a case where both parents are spirit wizards.”
Area added.
“And it’s rare for two spirit wizards to get married.”
“It may not be common, but even if spirit wizards were rare, the marriage history wouldn’t have been so rumored.”
Helmut is not very knowledgeable about the common sense of the human world, but that was a bit strange.
“Because Xian will also have to enter the Forest of Pahe together. I should have known about him. “I didn’t look into the details, but I guessed it.”
So, it means that they didn’t trust Xian, so they even did a background check and made him join because they were afraid that he might get caught in the back. It was quite an area.
“But why did Sian invite you?”
It wouldn’t be strange if Sian was the only one involved in Helmut’s affairs.
But attracting family was a different story. From the beginning, he almost ran away from home after writing something like Asuka or a will.
Jumping into the Forest of Pahe could be an achievement for the temple.
Of course, it wouldn’t have taken a great deal of friendship or determination for either Asuka or Xian to take that risk.
They are similar as friends in that they both tend to do things without thinking.
“I’m not saying I’m going to let them join the group. “They say it doesn’t mean anything.”
In a very normal tone, Sian proposed to visit his house as if he were inviting a friend to go out to play.
‘I didn’t know about you. And you don’t know anything about me either. So, let’s find out from now on. ‘It’ll be fun.’
That being said, there was no particular reason to refuse. She was curious too. An ordinary human family that you have never seen before.
No, it’s not normal. Because a family of spirit wizards would not fall into the category of ordinary people.
Area nodded.
“Of course he did it without thinking, and as long as the temple doesn’t notice, it’ll be fine. Spirit wizards are masters of stealth, so even if they get caught, they will be able to escape.”
Moreover, although it is still too early to be discovered, isn’t there a tremendous amount of power on this side?
If it was Ygrel on the left and Elaga on the right, I didn’t think they would lose even if they squared off against the temple.
No matter how much the sacred power is in opposition to the demonic energy, even if the sacred power of the temple were to be gathered, it would not be as good as the sacred barrier.
“But this cat… … what?”
Suddenly, Area’s gaze shifted to the white cat sitting on Helmut’s lap. It was a cat with fluffy fur and as pretty as a doll.
Area, whose memories were lost, had no idea that it was Elaga.
‘It’s cute.’
She reached out and stroked the head of the cat, who was sitting on Helmut’s lap, yawning with its mouth wide open.
“Nyan!”
A cute cry came out of Elaga’s mouth, as if she had now completely adapted to her cat appearance.
Helmut felt awkward every time, but unlike Sian or Asuka, who made blatant strange expressions, he didn’t show it.
Elaga stretched out on Helmut’s lap, purring like a cat. He looked more like a cat from birth than an actor.
No, leopards are also cats after all, so it’s natural that they look that way. It was only reduced in size, but it was perfectly adapted.
“I don’t think I saw you last time I came, but did Antiol also have a cat?”
Then the cat raised its head and answered.
[Who will raise it? How dare a human being raise this body.]
It was the first time I had seen Area so surprised. After a moment, she asked incredulously.
“Mr. Elaga?”
Only then did my paralyzed senses return. A faint sense of magical energy. And in the middle of it all, there is a huge demonic energy gathered together.
The white cat yawned once and answered by licking his lips.
[Okay, leave off your name and call me Elaga. Helmut can’t act like a rat and act so distant towards me, right?]
“When did I say it was like catching a mouse…” … .”
“I am not a rat.”
Helmut answered seriously, and immediately a scolding came from Elaga.
[Helmut, how come you, a monster, understand jokes less than me?]
“… … .”
[Anyway, you’re going to that guy named Sian’s house to hang out, right? I’m also curious about the human village, so I’m going along.]
“Are you saying Elaga will go to the human village too?”
[I don’t eat humans. And I’m afraid that you, who are so weak, will go somewhere and end up in trouble alone.]
This part made me wonder what Xian’s parents would think about the ruler of the Pahe Forest area going with them.
And that wasn’t the only thing we did together.
*
“Hey, I heard you’re going to Sian’s house. “I’m going with you.”
“I want to go with you too.”
Asuka naturally joined in, and Charlotte also raised her hand.
Now that we’ve returned from the Forest of Pahe, Charlotte, who may be in contact with Rinosa, was a target of attention, so of course we had to be together.
“I already sent a message saying you guys are going together.”
At that time, Ygrel suddenly intervened. Wearing luxurious traveler’s clothing that clung to her body, she looked like an aristocratic woman hiding her identity.
Her spotless white skin had brightly colored hair and her facial features stood out.
“It must be fun because it’s a human village.”
Igrel, who had been immersed in the new game of imitating humans since yesterday, even started studying.
I came here after seeing the crystal ball containing the image of a noble woman given to me by Heike.
Movements now feel completely natural. Her attitude and posture were close to those of an elegant noblewoman.
“Should I go and seduce a human man? “A human village, that’s interesting.”
“It would be difficult if you went to someone else’s village and did that.”
Sian grumbled. Elaga was upset, she said.
[Don’t go and cause unnecessary trouble and you will stay here.]
“Elaga too. “Wouldn’t it be troublesome if the magic was broken in the middle of the village?”
Xian, who did not like the idea of these two dangerous monsters being together, reacted negatively. Still, isn’t it his hometown? If their identities are revealed, it is difficult to know how to explain them.
“If you don’t get excited and release demonic energy, the magic won’t wear off, so don’t worry. “My magic isn’t that shabby.”
Heike narrowed his eyes confidently. Her gaze shifted to Ygrel.
“Even if you have transformed, the characteristics of your physical body have not gone anywhere, so you can fight without using demonic energy. But be careful. Even if you hit it with your bare hands, you could kill someone. In the human world, taking human life is strictly regulated. Even if the opponent is your enemy, you have to be patient for now.”
Ygrel burst out laughing.
“don’t worry. “Because I prefer to keep the things that attack me alive and cause them pain rather than killing them right away.”
[As for personality.]
Elaga clicked her tongue.
Although it was a long time ago, Igrel fought against countless monsters until he came to dominate the southern region.
Although he may appear to be a mindlessly curious monster, Ygrel’s essence is that of a cruel and overwhelming predator.
“Well, there won’t be any trouble in our village.”
Sian glanced at Igrel and Elaga as if anxious. But it had already been decided regardless of his will.
“Ugh, I want to go too.”
Sera was disappointed that she could not go because she was called a spirit wizard, but since she was not close to Xian, she had no reason to join.
And even at Sian’s house, it was difficult to accommodate so many guests out of nowhere.
Susan comforted Sarah.
“Now we must go our own way.”
Susan and Sarah knew that they were a burden to Helmut anyway. They had decided to leave the forest of Pahe and find their own lives.
After securing the family’s hidden assets through Antiol, they decided to move to Baden and find a place to live. Serah also needs to prepare to enter Baden’s academy.
After thinking for a while, Helmut wrote a letter. It was a letter addressed to Ethan Kudrow.
“You can just say that Helmut introduced me here. “I’m healthy, too.”
Since you won’t remember Helmut’s handwriting, Archmage Antiol’s assurance and Sera’s sword skills will serve as proof.
Although she did not teach Darian’s swordsmanship, Serah’s swordsmanship is similar to Helmut’s in some ways. Because Helmut taught her one of the basics thoroughly.
‘Ethan Kudrow knows nothing, so he can be trusted.’
That’s why I was able to write the letter.
Susan asked with a calm smile.
“So is this a breakup?”
She found vitality after leaving the forest of Pahe. Susan’s complexion was bright as she planned her second life.
“I will stop by Baden soon. “I hope you are doing well.”
“I’m healthy, Helmut. “Thank you so much.”
“Me too… … Thank you.”
I really mean that. There is no doubt that Susan and Sarah were able to recover more quickly.
Susan smiled softly. Sarah’s eyes filled with tears.
“Helmut, when can we see each other again?”
“If you enter the academy and take the top spot.”
“Then I’ll see you soon.”
It was a reaction that I couldn’t tell what kind of confidence it was. But certainly, after seeing Sera’s skills, Helmut thought it was a possibility.
“Elaga, please come anytime.”
“I’ll comb your fur! “You look so cute now.”
[Okay, once this guy can take care of himself.]
It was something that felt so distant. Elaga also made her own choice. He believed that Helmut, who had a temple as his enemy, needed him more than Susan and Sarah, who would settle down in Baden without any problems thanks to his sponsorship.
And if Helmut goes on a rampage, Elaga is the only one who can stop him.
“Bye.”
“Everyone, stay healthy!”
That’s how one breakup took place first.
