episode_0129

Ian and Mercy went out together.

Ian Ryeong’s Arogant City where the Fruit Warriors and Kati went together.

Galatea and Mallion took the baby for a walk outside through the side gate of the castle wall.

It was a peaceful freedom that I had felt for the first time in a long time.

Even though Ian was present, they were not detained.

However, it is inevitable that people will notice you.

Ian’s prisoner acceptance policy was not yet complete.

Since they did not know what the future would hold for Galatea and Marlion, they had no choice but to be cautious.

I know that Lescentimants live underground, but I haven’t been able to visit them.

I felt sorry for even meeting him.

“Mumma!”

The baby soon started babbling.

They coo loudly as if they are happy to be outside.

Galatea and Marlion looked down at the baby and smiled happily.

I should have shown scenes like this more often.

Wide open grass fields and low hills.

And the granary area is slowly turning golden.

The farmland in any direction other than here would be a different color.

The mountains in the distance are green, but they are probably getting ready to change into colorful clothes to welcome fall.

They both wanted to show the baby a lot of things.

Although I wonder which parent would do that.

“Mummamma!”

“Yes, mom is here.”

The fact that they had not yet decided on a name for their baby was a concern for both of them.

A name is an innate stigma.

Just as a baby cannot choose its parents.

Most beings are unable to name themselves.

So, I wanted to decide more carefully.

“Babubu!”

The baby’s eyes lit up as he looked at the bed.

“Sleep? Should I follow that?”

“Boo!”

Galatea held the baby and walked after the dragonfly.

Marlion followed him.

It was a peaceful day.

“Honey.”

Galatea softly called to him.

“Huh?”

“If Ian’s plan really succeeds. Can we live in peace in a place like this?”

Among people.

Form a society.

Plowing the fields or harvesting crops.

At night, I also drink alcohol at a bar.

Like an ordinary person.

“… It might be possible.”

Marlion smiled happily.

Galatea couldn’t see him because she was looking ahead, but she knew he was smiling.

Just be happy for a moment.

Guilt prickles my heart again.

Le Sentimient.

They were her original sin and victims.

I know that asking for forgiveness is a luxury.

However, selfish feelings continue to build up.

“The name.”

Marlion blurted out.

“Yes.”

“How about asking Ian to build it for you?”

“To Ian?”

If it weren’t for him, would the child have been born?

Just because I was born, would I have been able to live in this kind of scenery with any hope?

A child growing up in an isolated place may ask these questions.

Why are we the only ones in the world?

Even if Ian’s plan doesn’t succeed.

At least these three were able to live in the warmth of people.

“… huh. I think it’s a good idea.”

I decided to ask Ian when he got back.

“Buu?”

How long did you walk?

It came out a little far away from the castle wall.

“Oh my, the dragonfly ran away?”

Galatea said, looking at the baby tilting his head as if it was cute.

But the baby’s gaze was fixed somewhere in front.

Somewhere in the darkness of the forest that covers the mountain slopes.

“Huh? Why?”

Galatea looked up and felt uneasy.

We’ve come too far.

The dungeon around here has not been completely cleared.

Still sometimes… .

-Ssssut.

A huge shadow came down, trampling on a small tree in the forest.

It was a ‘forest troll’ that appeared in a D-class dungeon.

Abnormally short legs and contrastingly long arms.

The arms dragging on the floor had bulging muscles, and the thick wood was lifted like a blunt weapon.

“Gurgling… .”

Unfocused eyes found a family.

“Ugh, sob! Wow-!”

The baby started crying.

Not far away.

It was enough to provoke the troll.

A troll approached, dragging a tree.

It was slow, but because of its size, the distance narrowed in an instant.

The troll wasn’t even alone.

‘What do we do?’

Galatea was worried.

She can deal with it alone.

‘Should I leave the baby with Marlion?’

And what if you get caught by another troll?

I don’t have the confidence to deal with multiple people at the same time.

‘I will carry the baby, and when Marlion goes to ask for help… ?’

The baby’s safe, Marlion’s safe.

Neither can be guaranteed.

The distance from the troll was very short.

The moment when you can’t make a decision and feel powerless.

“Get down.”

A low voice commanded.

That voice growling like a bear was familiar.

Without asking, Galatea pulled Marlion and fell to the floor.

Be as careful as possible to avoid hurting the baby.

Then, something passed quickly overhead.

-thud!

Wait a moment for the heavy collision sound to spread.

Footsteps approached quickly, passing them as they slumped on the ground.

“Kkeui profit-!”

The troll’s screams spread.

In the gaze of Galatea and Marlion who raised their heads.

Ramnus and his companions were seen ruthlessly tearing apart the trolls.

‘Les Sentimants… .’

These were children who had been betrayed by themselves.

A bear paw brimming with black energy pierced the troll’s torso.

Rhamnus, who had wiped off the blood, turned around and made eye contact.

“Ra, Rhamnus… .”

“It was done for us.”

Rhamnus said, wiping away the blood.

“In order to stay here, I cooperate with Ian’s plan. It means that the purpose was not to help you. So, don’t be mistaken.”

“Puh-huh!”

Another prisoner next to Rhamnus.

The female avian beastman with gray arms and gray wings laughed.

“As soon as I saw them leaving, I followed them.”

“What… !”

“The captain is also very shy.”

“Shut up-!”

The avian beast fluttered around and taunted Rhamnus.

“Shy~”

“Trich! Just come down! Tear it to death-!”

Looking at the bear chasing the bird, Galatea burst into laughter.

Along with the laughter, tears also flowed.

It was tears for no reason.

However, at least I could tell that the tears were not from sadness.

“Sheesh! Going back!”

Rhamnus, who was chasing Trichy, ran away first.

“It’s not cute.”

Trichy came down and clicked his tongue as he looked at the place where Rhamnus had run away.

She came up to Galatea.

“Galatea.”

“Yes… .”

Trichy, who had been quiet, looked at the baby in Galatea’s arms and sighed.

“Ha… . I have to say what I have to say. We didn’t forgive you.”

“… … .”

“But we can’t stay like this forever.”

“Sorry… .”

“No, don’t even apologize yet. I’m not ready to receive it.”

“… … .”

“Still, the kid is not guilty of anything.”

The child may be confused and hurt by the conflict between them.

Still, they are descendants of the same race.

“So. Wait a little longer and come apologize. Because we are preparing too… . Come before the baby gets too big.”

“… !”

“Ah, talking like this isn’t my aptitude… . Have you decided on a name for your child?”

“Oh, not yet… . I’m going to ask Ian for a favor.”

“Okay.”

Trichi grinned as he looked at the whimpering baby.

“That’s not bad.”

I can’t go back or start a new relationship.

However, it may be possible to improve tangled relationships.

If in this land.

In Ianryeong, whenever a monster appears, beastmen appear to help.

Such rumors were spreading quickly.

***

The man who took over as guild master after Penny.

Contrary to my expectations, ‘Hans’, the former submaster, was very friendly.

No, this is beyond friendly.

“I was waiting.”

He was truly loyal.

Upon arrival, the response was so extreme that people were quickly summoned and welcomed, so much so that it was even suspicious.

‘Are you planning to catch me off guard and stab me in the back?’

That’s what I thought.

I asked Marie vaguely, but she said she knew little about Hans.

However, it is said that he is not a very nice person.

He’s the guy who looked after Felix.

“If Philip wants, I can offer up my seat at any time.”

So this is not loyalty, but flattery and fawning.

He seems to be a person who knows how to cling to power in order to survive.

‘Are money and the desire for recognition the motivation? ‘I like it because it’s intuitive.’

Since he is the person who looked after Felix, he is not a trustworthy person.

But that was okay.

I’m going to bring Penny in to compete, and I’m going to have Marie watch over her.

“In the first place, the Manager Guild is your descendants gathered together and established under the banner of Philip. Now I can finally say that I have found my owner.”

You have great flattery skills.

“I’m going to bring Penny. Are you okay?”

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it seems like it has been confirmed.

As expected, Hans’ eyebrows twitched.

“Philip. Don’t you know the personality and truth of the girl named Penny?”

“But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth using.”

“Haha… . As expected, you are wise… .”

It’s surprisingly servile.

He looks like a pretty sturdy warrior, but he doesn’t act like that.

It’s nice that I’m easy to deal with.

In the end, Hans was unable to come up with an opinion opposing my argument.

It was decided to select someone comparable to Hans and Penny and report to them within a few days.

Naturally, Hans’ authority will be excluded from making the personnel decision, and Marie will review it.

‘Things will turn out surprisingly easily.’

*

“It will be surprisingly easy, right?”

Marie said on the way back.

She seemed to think the same thing.

“Is this Philip’s power? Why didn’t you reveal it sooner?”

“That’s right… .”

The moment I was about to answer, something buzzed in my pocket.

It was a burn mirror.

The transparent crystal ball emits white light and vibrates slightly when a signal is received.

“That’s it? Burn beads? Crystal mirror?”

“Image mirror.”

“Ah! anyway. Are you saying that if both sides have it, they can talk to each other? I heard it’s expensive.”

“It’s expensive… .”

It’s really expensive.

It is natural because it is a technology that integrates cutting-edge magic engineering.

I spent 70% of my own money on each item for myself and my companions.

“Me too!”

Mercy laughed and took it out of her pocket and boasted about it.

“Oh! I’m curious, Ian. Let’s see what to do with that. It keeps ringing.”

When I touched the image mirror, an image immediately appeared in the crystal ball.

You can see the faces of the fruit warriors gathered together.

Behind him, there was also Kati who stuck her head out.

-Ian!

Vivian in the mirror sang brightly and smiled brightly.

-Today’s dungeon is finished.

Lucia waved her hand and said.

“Thank you for your hard work. There is no afternoon training, so get some rest.”

– When is Ian coming? ?

Helena asked hesitantly.

“I’m going back now too.”

“Yo!”

Marie suddenly stuck her head out from the side.

“Can you see me? Vivian? Helena? Lucia? You can hear it, right?”

-number of animals!

Vivian greeted me first.

-It looks good! I can hear you well.

“Oh… . This is a really amazing item.”

-Ma, are you with Ian?

“Yes. Because of manager guild work.”

-okay!

-Oh, by the way, Ian. The deacon quickly found me earlier.

“Do you mean me?”

-yes. We were first connected because it was an emergency, but we were in the middle of a dungeon… .

If there are a few problems with video mirrors, this is one of them.

If someone contacts you and you don’t answer, you can’t confirm that they came.

This means that no missed call history is left.

“I understand. Let me make the connection.”

-yes. all right. Come carefully.

“Well, I’m going through the portal.”

-See you later… .

-Please come quickly!

Kati’s glaring face appeared for a moment and the connection was lost.

“Hmm… .”

From next to me, Marie glanced at me with a mysterious look.

“It’s popular?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“You must really enjoy life. I can’t wait to see the pretty warriors like that.”

“Okay then! Ian This guy is a very lucky man!”

Mercy agreed and added from the side.

“… Please keep an eye on the manager guild.”

“Nyye nyye.”

Ah, this Helena is similar in height… .

It’s so disgusting that I want to hit it with honey chestnuts.

But considering Marie’s personality, I couldn’t bear to do that.

Regardless of her strength, she is a scary woman… .

*

I contacted Charles and he said that Galatea was attacked outside.

It was a time when I was gone and even the Fruit Warriors and Katy were gone.

Moreover, because Galatea’s identity had not yet been revealed, they were unable to request support or escort from the garrison.

Fortunately, thanks to Lescentimants’ intervention, no one was hurt.

“If you’re frustrated, tell me.”

I met Galatea and Marlion in the office with Charles.

The baby in her arms looked around the office as if it was fascinating.

“I can go out with you. It’s about a walk.”

“No. It’s a bit of a bother, isn’t it?”

“It’s really okay. If you’re afraid that your family time will be interrupted, you can follow along without being seen.”

“It’s really okay! Well, you don’t have to worry that much.”

“Hmm. Still, I’m glad there were no injuries.”

Since the existence of Lescentimants is gradually becoming known, should the disclosure of his identity be brought forward?

“Me, Ian.”

Marlion called politely.

The look of a man with his clenched fists resting on his knees is strong.

“Please tell me.”

“Unless it’s rude. Could you please name my child?”

I forgot to say something for a moment.

Did I just hear wrong?

name?

I?

The half-baked answer came out too late.

“… Yes?”

Marlion’s determined eyes looked at me.

When I looked at Galatea, she just smiled without saying a word.

There was no answer, but it was answered enough.

These two people are sincere.
