The cabin returned.
Agnes asked the returned Deltan.
Deltan nodded.
“Uh, my work here is done.”
Actually, I didn’t finish the work as smoothly as I thought.
This is why my head got hot and I screamed in anger at the fact that the Spirit King was a member of the hall.
No, even if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have been able to get any more information.
‘Even the Spirit King didn’t seem to know much about magic.’
The magic flower in Agnes’ heart seemed to be something that even the Spirit King did not know for sure.
The same goes for sources of other quest materials.
-I can not say.
-It is such a promise.
I don’t know what the promise was, but one thing was certain.
They hope to complete this quest on their own.
Deltan’s eyes sank.
‘Do not be ridiculous.’
You will never play into their hands.
Deltan was not a generous person who would easily suffer from such a thing.
‘When we get back, we’ll start by collecting information.’
From what I heard, they were talking about dimensional selection or something like that.
As the scale is scale, the scope of investigation was clear.
‘Myths and legends page.’
Especially mythology.
Among them, it was necessary to first find out about the gods who have influenced the present world.
‘The closest thing is… .’
Lastoria, the state religion of the empire.
He is the owner of Cargo, who is currently away.
If the group that the Spirit King, the will of the planet, belongs to, it would be correct to say that he is also in the hall.
“Deltain?”
Agnes asked while her thoughts continued.
Deltan looked at Agnes with an ‘Ah’ sound.
“Why?”
“What is the schedule?”
“Right now.”
Agnes’ head tilted.
“Right now?”
“Yes. Oh, before that, just call on your spirit for a moment.”
Agnes made a ‘hmm’ sound and tapped my left rib.
OK.
[yes!]
A snowball burst out from under Agnes’ ribs and took the shape of a human face.
There was something quite bizarre about having a human face underneath the chest.
“… .”
Deltan was dazed for a moment, looked at Hornlake with bright eyes, and asked.
“There is something you need to do.”
[You?]
How dare you?
It was an expression like this.
Even if I die soon, a spirit is still a spirit?
It’s funny to me to act so calmly when Agnes used to be like a chair under me.
When the Deltan let out a laugh with that kind of expression, Agnes ‘slapped’ Hornrake’s forehead.
[Keuhook… !]
“Without the hair.”
[B-but… !]
The evil thing that stole my master!
Although she appealed with her expression, Agnes didn’t even blink.
The coldness broke Hornrake’s heart.
“Answer without talking nonsense.”
[Ugh… !]
Hornrake looked at Deltan with squinted eyes.
Deltan narrowed his eyes at the ensuing skit and then asked a question.
“I’m leaving here now. With that woman.”
[So?]
“This woman planted a mental barrier in her head.”
The flower of elemental magic, mind protection.
In fact, it was most certain that the Deltans were involved and trained, but there was not much time.
‘You can practice while you’re at it. First, while moving, borrow the power of that spirit.’
Still, since he is a direct descendant of the Spirit King, he will make enough to last until he arrives at the island.
“No time. Quickly.”
When Deltan gave an order with his chin, Hornrake let out a laugh, ‘Huh!’
The rebellious mood did not last long this time either.
When Agnes placed her hand on Hornrake’s cheek and stroked it once, she rolled her eyes and spat out a snowball that was supposed to be snot and saliva.
[Keuhook… !]
Deltan looked away at the unpleasant sight.
*
Preparations for withdrawal were quick.
I didn’t bring that much luggage to begin with, and the luggage I brought with me was all put in the sedan, so it was only natural.
“You should go now.”
Entrance to the village.
The chief who came out to see him off had a distraught look on his face.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
Anyway, now that he has learned the true nature of the spirit that has been worshiped for generations, he probably has a lot to think about.
Horn Lake was in hiding from the moment the chieftain arrived.
For a moment, the thought of ‘Is this contract okay as is?’ flashed through Deltain’s mind, but he quickly shook it off.
‘It’s none of my business.’
In the end, it was someone else’s business.
“I owe you a lot. If you happen to stop by the empire, please contact me. I’ll help you as much as I can.”
“I will remember it. Come on, Orga. You too, say hello.”
Orga was hiding behind the chieftain, sticking his head out.
In fact, as a Delta person, I was unconscious the whole time, so I didn’t have a chance to become friends, but that wasn’t the case with Agnes.
Since it was Orga who spent the most time with Agnes while they were at the cabin, the two became close enough to wave hello.
“I’m doing well.”
“Princess too… !”
Immediately after finishing the greeting, Deltan spoke to Gerhart who approached him.
“Are you ready?”
“Finished.”
“Where are the hunting dogs?”
Waiting below “. Killing the demons on the path.”
Are there still devils left?
The Delta man had been grinding his teeth for so long that a disgusting feeling arose inside him.
“… Eggplant.”
It seemed like there was a need to clean the path along the way.
*
Grumble!
The flame burns and turns the snowy field into a sea of water.
During this series of events, there were the devil’s terrifying screams and Kaltara’s excited cheers.
“Refreshing!”
Final cleaning before departure.
After Deltan finished, he got down in front of the sedan and got into the car.
“Good job.”
“The hard work is.”
“Now it’s really going back. Well, I realized something. If you travel for a long time, you get tired of it.”
“Not a trip.”
“It was a trip for me.”
Deltan glanced at Agnes.
When he just woke up, he was doing something out of place, but he seemed to have regained his normal self.
‘… no.’
Maybe he’s pretending to recover.
Her shamelessness was starting to show less than before.
This is because clues obtained unintentionally led to the discovery of some emotional fragments in her words and actions.
My heart sinks slightly.
The gaze took the form of examining Agnes’ expression.
Agnes laughed mischievously at that.
“Why are you looking at me like you’re licking me like that?”
“I’ve never done that. And the metaphor is shallow.”
“You don’t have to pretend otherwise. If you just say the word, I can actually make you lick it.”
[Gasp!]
A scream was heard from somewhere.
Agnes frowned and grumbled at that.
“I want to separate it.”
Hornrake was currently assimilated into Agnes’ body to replace her mental barrier.
So, you can hear all the conversations happening right now.
It wasn’t a good situation for either of us, but there was nothing we could do.
“I’m maintaining it until I can build a mental barrier on my own.”
“Even after entering the system?”
“If possible.”
Agnes pouted her lips at the Deltan’s harsh words.
Then, he slowly approached and leaned against Deltan.
Deltan’s brow furrowed.
“Why expectations? The seats are spacious too.”
“Because this is my place?”
“Do it in moderation.”
“Do it in moderation.”
Tuk.
Agnes placed her hand on the back of Deltan’s hand.
And then I put my fingers between his knuckles as if clasping them together.
“This is what I’m holding on to.”
Agnes’ eyes widened.
The eye smile that appeared while drawing a gentle arc was so strange that Deltan frowned and looked away.
“… Rotten bitch.”
It’s been a while since I said those words, but my expression wasn’t as fierce as before.
‘As expected, it was better not to know.’
It was good to keep my distance.
It was much easier to deal with her when I didn’t know her very well.
Now, I feel like I’m having a hard time trying to treat him like before, so I’m reluctant to say anything.
“Deltain. My face turned red.”
“Don’t be a damn thing.”
“It’s true.”
Agnes giggled and rested her head on Deltan’s shoulder.
Deltan sighed and said.
“Gerhart. Let’s go.”
“Please cover your ears.”
“Ah.”
Perfect!
Deltan snapped his fingers.
Blue mana floated in Gerhart’s ears, and eventually seeped into his ears.
Gerhart spoke with a more relaxed expression.
“I will leave.”
He wanted to ignore his master’s affectionate behavior.
*
Unlike the way we came, there were no major changes while returning to the island.
If you look at the biggest reason, it was like that.
Horn Lake thickened Agnes’ mental barrier so there was no time delay caused by the demon.
Of course, the Deltans got angry at Agnes’ prank, and there was a battle due to the demons rushing to camp, but it wasn’t a big deal.
Two weeks like that.
“Now it’s a system.”
Agnes said as she looked at the city walls of the archipelago blurred out the car window.
There was a strange sense of regret mixed with joy in the voice.
Deltan asked that.
“When you whine about wanting to go home, when are you acting so regretful?”
“Home is nice, but now I have to be away from you.”
“What?”
“I liked sleeping with you.”
Startle.
Deltan’s shoulders trembled slightly, then he took a deep breath and controlled his expression.
There was one remaining red flag.
Agnes burst into laughter at that expression.
“Are you embarrassed?”
“Shut up.”
“Actually, you’re good too, right?”
Agnes poked Deltan’s cheek with the tip of her hair.
Then he added:
“Should we just live together?”
“Bullshit.”
“I’m serious.”
“You need to relearn the concept of chastity.”
“I don’t think this is something someone who broke my chastity would say.”
[Click … !]
Hornrake screamed, but no one heard him.
She was a complete loner.
Such trivial words continued.
“Count, you have entered the system.”
Before we knew it, the sedan arrived in front of the castle gate.
The inspection was conducted briefly, and Delta Inn dramatically shortened the inspection time by lowering the car window.
“Meet the Count of Hebron!”
“Uh, yes.”
After the guard stiffened and returned the salute with a wave of his hand, the Deltan said:
“Do you have any newspapers?”
I asked this question because I thought I needed to know some simple news in advance as I was away for two months.
The response that came back was bizarre.
“Uh… .”
The guards began to panic to the extent that anyone could see.
His trembling eyes glanced towards Agnes.
What kind of reaction is this?
The frowning Deltan asked again.
“No?”
There is “!”
chuck!
These words are spoken out loud while keeping the back straight.
Deltan stretched out his hand.
Then the guard, who was panting, handed Deltaman the newspaper he had left in the corner of the checkpoint.
“Good luck.”
“Take a look!”
The car window closed and the car passed through the gate.
‘What’s going on?’
Deltan opened the newspaper, wondering at the suspicious reaction of the guard, even considering the cancer.
and.
[Scoop! Duke Levadeine’s remarriage! The opponent is the 7th princess?!]
[There is information that marriage talks are taking place between Duke Levadein, a lover who once rocked the system, and Her Highness Elina von Lebroke, the 7th princess. The exact source is unclear, but it is considered a fairly credible rumor in aristocratic society. In some… .]
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
“… What the fuck is this.”
Deltan mumbled that without realizing it and immediately looked at Agnes.
“… .”
Agnes was looking down at the newspaper with dull eyes.
