Although they got there in one go thanks to Ophelia’s abilities, the way back to Hugo’s mansion had to follow somewhat primitive methods. Even if you get hold of Seira, who is a teleporter, there is no way you can immediately move to Lien.

In the rickety carriage, Seira gave a magic lecture to Siron to kill time.

“Teleportation is by no means an all-purpose magic.”

“Uh. I know.”

“Really? So, do you know that you need to know exactly where you are and the coordinates of where you want to go?”

“No. I don’t know that.”

“What… It’s not fun.”

However, Seira’s lecture is cut off midway.

Unlike Seira, who passionately preached about magic, Siron did not focus on her, perhaps because he had no interest whatsoever. I’m just watching the scene moving to a place where teleportation is possible.

‘What a strange kid.’

Seira felt sad for some reason and pursed her lips.

There was something about Shiron’s attitude right now… It seemed like he was only responding appropriately so as not to interrupt the conversation.

No matter how well-educated a noble child is, as long as he is human, he is bound to harbor curiosity about the unknown. Even more so if it is magic that completely ignores the laws of the world, like teleportation.

‘It’s not just the attitude that’s strange.’

Seira rested her chin on her hand and stared at Shiron.

‘The information I know is full of holes. It’s so shallow, as if I picked it up somewhere.’

Seira analyzed the conversations she had had with Siron so far. But this was not out of suspicion. The power of prophecy is an ability that even Seira, who has lived for hundreds of years, has never heard of.

It was natural for Seira, who had the temperament of a scholar to some extent, to show curiosity.

“Something suddenly occurred to me. Can I ask you something?”

“No. Don’t do it.”

“…They say it has the power of prophecy. So how far can you see?”

“I told you not to do it.”

Shiron stared at Seira with full annoyance.

While traveling from the Macal Mountains, where the Dawn Castle is located, to Elmo Canyon, Seira’s mouth did not rest. Shiron also felt the need to become closer to Seira, so he answered her questions half-heartedly, but telling her about the power of prophecy was another story. I didn’t want to reveal my bottom line.

“Why do you keep so many secrets about such a child? Can’t you just tell me?”

However, Seira was not one to flinch just because a child was glaring at her. She said, crossing her arms as if complaining of heartache. Thanks to this, our hearts came together to create a provocative scene.

“I also took the Mana Oath. You can’t even use mana, so you can’t swear. Don’t you think this is unfair? huh? Please tell me calmly. I have a heavy mouth.”

“Yes. I will never tell you.”

Siron raised one corner of his mouth and tried to sneer… but ended up failing. This is because Siron’s mind was filled with mixed emotions due to disappointment.

‘This woman. It’s completely different from the game. ‘Isn’t it too bad for a night’s pay?’

Did you say that people have to experience it for themselves? The Seira I experienced over the past few days was a shocking person in many ways.

The liberated atmosphere shown in the game was nowhere to be seen, and even though she had been around for 500 years, she was more suited to the word brat than Lucia.

‘Lucia still tried to act like an adult. ‘Why do I look so young even though I’m over 500 years old?’

“Ugh.”

“What is it? Why are you sighing?”

“You can tell me this. That’s because what you look like now is completely different from what I imagined.”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Seira said, crossing her legs alternately.

“Honestly, isn’t it pretty?”

“…What?”

What is he suddenly saying again? Siron looked a little dumbfounded. When Shiron, who had always had a calm demeanor, became embarrassed, a faint frown appeared on Seira’s face.

“Let me guess why I sighed.”

“…”

“More than what you said in your prophecy. I exhaled with excitement because my real self was pretty. It’s clear.”

“What kind of bullshit is this all of a sudden.”

“Don’t pretend it’s not.”

Seira shrugged her shoulders and closed one eye.

“You glanced at my chest earlier. Who knows? This cute little guy. It’s true because I see your face blushing.”

“Oh fuck.”

Siron covered his face with his hands. But this is not to cover up the blush. I felt a little dizzy, so I decided to wash my face dry.

Siron’s face never got hot.

“Master. Arrived.”

While we were continuing this stupid conversation for a long time. Yuma, who was sitting in the coach seat, said.

Elmo Canyon.

It was a place where there were still unexplored ether mines.

Seira got out of the carriage before Shiron got off.

“As expected, it’s Yuma. Did I get to exactly where I wanted to be? Indeed, my meticulous personality fades over time…”

“You.”

Yuma frowned and stopped Seira from speaking.

“Don’t pretend to be friendly.”

Yuma passed by Seira and walked to Siron’s side. Yuma continued speaking while adjusting Shiron’s slightly disheveled clothes.

“I want to hear it. Although you failed many times, you tried to cast a mind control spell on the master, right? I still don’t trust you. If it weren’t for you, Master, you would have already been dead.”

“Yuma. I’m fine.”

“Master. I am so anxious. Why did you take such a woman as your colleague? His magic skills are definitely a bit better than mine. His personality is sloppy and his clothes are extremely frivolous.”

Yuma turned his head and glared at Seira. It seems as if he can freeze the opponent with just his gaze.

“The morals are also somewhat strange. They choose to become slaves and enjoy serving powerless humans. This is… perverted, isn’t it?”

“Oh, no!”

“What isn’t it?”

Yuma, who had finished arranging Siron’s clothes, stood up straight. Yuma, who was about a knuckle taller than Seira, opened his eyes sharply.

“Didn’t you just… pour out vulgar remarks to the still-young master, such as saying that you saw his breasts and that he was flattering? Even the most frivolous of the guardians of the Dawn Castle is so disrespectful that he does not speak in front of the master.”

“…”

“At least if you are a lady, refrain from speaking or doing anything unless you are a prostitute. Should a person standing next to a warrior be unable to do even that?”

As Yuma’s criticism poured in, Seira couldn’t bear to refute, so she kept her mouth shut.

There was certainly nothing wrong with what Yuma said. Looking back now, Seira may have loosened her reins a little.

However, she never enjoyed entertainment with evil intentions.

Become a slave, serve your master, and when a crisis approaches your master, reveal your identity and offer a helping hand.

Although a mind control spell was cast, it ended up only happening once at the auction house, and at the end, everyone shed tears of gratitude for Seira.

The person who bought it was happy to have solved the crisis, and Seira felt good to be praised by people.

‘Isn’t it a good thing in the end because there is no loss to either side?’

But Seira couldn’t bear to say that out loud. The way he was able to do it was because the slave act of hiding his power was easily forgotten by people.

But now, the child named Shiron remembered all of his actions.

“Kid. Stand here.”

Since she didn’t want to use that as an excuse to make fun of her, Seira quietly prepared to teleport.

Shiron looked back and stared at Yuma.

Since there was only one person who could accompany Seira’s teleportation, Encia left for the mansion first. Now it was time to say goodbye to Yuma.

“Yuma. Thank you.”

“No. Of course it is something that should be done.”

Yuma gave Shiron a warm smile, coloring the cold expression he had made a moment ago.

Seira couldn’t bear to join in on the two’s greetings.

It wasn’t because I was dumbfounded by Yuma’s conflicting attitude, but because I was seeing Yuma’s expression for the first time in my life.

‘Where is the poison going? I’m just acting like a mother.’

“Take a deep breath. You’ll feel a little queasy.”

A hand with fluctuating mana touched Siron’s shoulder.

*

The place we arrived was a corner of the mansion.

Siron stepped forward with a slightly unsteady foot and placed his hand on the wall. I couldn’t control my body properly because of the dizziness, but I gritted my teeth and tried to stand upright.

The work did not end just because we returned to the mansion.

Shiron wiped off the cold sweat and looked at Seira.

“Now, do as I said yesterday.”

“…Okay.”

Seira activated Polymorph and took on the appearance of Elise.

“And release the mental control I had placed on Siriel.”

“…I didn’t walk other than that time.”

Siron calmed his breathing and walked slowly.

“Is there a strong person in this mansion?”

“…there is.”

Seira said, concentrating her energy. The energy located in the center of the mansion was as powerful as Yuma.

“Good.”

Siron walked towards the main building, not the separate building. I need to meet Hugo and talk about the backlog and what to do next.

“But isn’t it too much of a hassle? I wonder if I have to go this far.”

“You may not know this, but I feel great gratitude from my uncle. You are like a father who took care of me, so how can you behave like that?”

“…That’s right.”

Arriving in front of Hugo’s office, Siron took a deep breath and knocked.

-Come in.

Permission came from the other side of the door with a heavy voice.

“Long time no see. Uncle.”

Siron bowed to Hugo.

“What brought you here this time?”

Was it because he disappeared from the mansion without saying a word? Hugo’s voice toward Siron seemed somewhat cold.

“I would like to leave the mansion for a while.”

“Is it because of the bill?”

“Bill?”

“Okay. Wow, you wrote a lot.”

Hugo held out a piece of paper to Siron. It was an ordinary card usage statement. But since it wasn’t important right now, Shiron quietly put the paper in his arms. Since it was a debt with no set deadline, I had no intention of paying it back right away.

More than that.

“Don’t worry. I can pay it all off on my own anyway.”

Siron spoke confidently to Hugo. And Seira, who had been standing behind her, came forward. A shadow fell over Hugo’s face as he looked at Seira, who had always looked like Elise.

“Who? You.”

“I am Seira Rohmer. The seeker of ten thousand demons and the greatest magic…”

match!

Seira turned around at the burning pain she felt in her buttocks.

“What. what! Why are you hitting me?”

“Why are you speaking informally? Don’t you speak loudly?”

“Me, I’m over six hundred years old! What kind of respect do I have for a person who is hundreds of years younger than me…”

match!

“Don’t talk back. I speak politely, so why are you speaking informally?”

“…”

Hugo watched their conversation with a shocked expression. Judging from their conversation style, their relationship seemed unusual. I put a lot of weight into Eldrina’s request to scold my nephew, but as things turned out like this, it was all in vain.

“Unclefather.”

“…Okay.”

“Anyway, I’m planning to leave the mansion for a few years. I’ll be back by the coming of age ceremony. Don’t worry too much. And… um…”

Siron touched his lips as if choosing what to say.

“Do you have any questions?”

I was going to talk about Hugo’s death, but it took more mental preparation than I thought.
