by fnovelpia“What came to mind, Elisabeth?”
Eugene and Jeanne immediately focused on Elisabeth and asked.
“It was a unique pattern. I think it’s a shape created as the Drake’s energy inside Brother, and the energies of me and Priscilla interacted.”
Elisabeth’s answer was quite a high-dimensional concept.
Drake’s energy was not just simple energy, and when that energy interacted with Priscilla’s spirit energy, Elisabeth’s magic power, and divine power, it revealed its form.
However, the way it appeared felt like a magic circuit being drawn as if making a prophecy.
It was sent like an implication, an inspiration, to Elisabeth, who is excellent in related magic abilities.
“Is it a concept that is difficult for us to understand what kind of shape it is?”
“Yes. Honestly, it is, Brother. It was such an intuitive form that it was conveyed as a feeling, but I don’t think I can reproduce it.”
“Hmm… Then, is there any possibility that it will negatively affect Eugene’s body, Elisabeth?”
“The form in which the energy appeared to me is not aggressive itself. Rather, it should be seen as a form of telling something. If it was going to harm Brother, it would not have been conveyed to me, but would have appeared to Brother in a violent manner first.”
Prophecy, code, that was the feeling Elisabeth received.
Therefore, although she cannot determine its identity, its tendency has been determined.
High-dimensional magic acts like a living thing with its own will.
Therefore, it tends to achieve actions suitable for its purpose.
If the purpose was to harm Eugene, it would have struggled to avoid being detected by Elisabeth, who is an obstacle to that purpose.
“Well, if that’s the case, it’s a relief… Actually, Drake also spoke as if he was doing me a favor by helping me.”
“He did?”
“Yeah. He said it was helpful, so there’s no need to feel bad?”
Eugene, having heard Elisabeth’s words, thought it was credible because it was consistent with what Drake had said to him when he left.
“Thanks to that, I think I have something to do, Brother. I need to find out what that mysterious pattern is. The fact that I, who am quite proficient in that area, cannot grasp it immediately means that the apostle is no ordinary apostle. It’s related to Brother, so I can’t delay it.”
Elisabeth is returning to the Magic Tower because the Drake special quest is over.
However, her work was immediately created.
If even the energy of the Demon God is involved, the prophetic pattern she recognized will never be a useless pattern.
Since it is related to her brother, Elisabeth will tenaciously cling to it and find out the truth.
“Why does that sound like you’re going to a dangerous place?”
“Hahaha! Maybe? Because there may be limitations with only the information from the Magic Tower, Brother.”
Eugene Schneider made a worried expression at Elisabeth’s words.
Elisabeth seemed to be in a good mood at that sight, and she gave a charming smile.
“….”
And Jeanne silently watched the scene.
“It was a meaningful collaboration. The result was perfect, and the process was perfect.”
The next day.
The Drake special quest was cleared, the quest team was disbanded, and the camp was cleaned up.
Victoria, the leader of the Imperial Knights team, shook hands with Jeanne, the leader of the Red Fox Mercenary Corps, and shared her impressions.
“Likewise. And I learned a lot. I was really impressed by your ability to manage this huge party.”
Jeanne, holding Victoria’s hand, sincerely conveyed her thoughts.
This quest involved a large number of people in this remote place.
Above all, Victoria was in charge of not only the battle but also the detailed administrative coordination.
It was Eugene Schneider of the Red Fox Mercenary Corps who caught Drake, but it was clearly Victoria of the Imperial Knights who created the foundation.
Jeanne witnessed it by participating directly, and in her eyes, Victoria was flawless and experienced, as if she was unbelievable for her age of 21.
“You flatter me. The colleagues who were with me were so excellent that I didn’t need to think about anything else.”
Smiling…!
Victoria gave a very rare smile at those words.
“And Squad Leader Eugene.”
After shaking hands with the other members of the Red Fox Mercenary Corps, Victoria stood in front of Eugene.
“I would like to say once again that we may see each other again soon. The situation of single-handedly killing Drake is not a normal thing. But I will try to respond so that there are no difficulties as much as possible.”
Then she said something quite meaningful.
The Drake special quest was over, but the relationship with Eugene was not, it seemed.
The investigation into Drake’s corpse will be carried out more specifically at the Imperial Knights level.
This inevitably means that an investigation related to Eugene, who caught Drake, will also be conducted.
However, Eugene is a member of the joint party centered on Victoria, so
Victoria, who was the general manager, is promising to prevent anything difficult from happening to him.
“I was prepared for it. If I’m not going to be a hero, I should be as careful as possible.”
Eugene answered coolly.
The easiest way to avoid stray bullets is to gain fame.
Since he caught Drake, he should become famous as the mercenary who caught Drake.
However, Eugene refused to put his name at the forefront.
Because he doesn’t want to let people know about the stats of the Sword Seeker.
“That’s right. But too bright a light will eventually be revealed.”
Victoria, who is not a fool, naturally has many questions.
However, Eugene and the Red Fox Mercenary Corps were engraved on her as quest colleagues who risked their lives to carry out the quest.
Therefore, she readily accepted Eugene Schneider’s wishes.
“Yes, I think so.”
Smiling…!
Swish…!
Eugene smiled in response to Victoria’s words and looked down slightly.
‘As expected, it’s not that sword.’
He saw the sword that Victoria was wearing on her waist.
The sword Victoria summoned from the weapon inventory when fighting Drake,
Eugene seems to have had that sword in mind.
“Hwaa~ I still can’t get used to it, Priscilla~ Such a tall and slender Priscilla!”
The Red Fox Mercenary Corps began to return to Pangea.
At the point when they left Enklema on horseback and entered the vast plain,
Since there were no more dangerous situations, Marie couldn’t help but admire Priscilla.
Whenever the Red Fox Mercenary Corps moved like this, Priscilla would ride in a cart or sit on top of a carriage if there was one.
But Priscilla, who is maintaining her true form, is elegantly riding her horse alone and accompanying them.
Marie finds it difficult to adapt.
“Well, it’s because I can’t act like before with this body.”
Priscilla replied in a rather dignified tone to Marie’s fuss.
“Look at that. It’s not just the appearance. Priscilla’s personality has also changed. Priscilla, who always called me a shabby guy, has been waving her hand at me since this morning, and yesterday morning too?”
Thomas also joined Marie’s fuss.
Priscilla’s dignified tone of conversation was not just for now.
It is an overall change over the past few days.
‘It’s natural to have a partner. I’m an adult now, hahaha…’
It is Priscilla’s state of mind that she has elevated herself from a kid to an adult by getting a partner.
It can be seen as Priscilla’s extraordinary change, who had a great fantasy about her partner, rather than an Elven tendency.
“…..”
Jeanne listened to the noisy stories behind her and went forward silently.
“…..”
Eugene too.
There are two of Eugene’s harem women here right now.
But he hasn’t revealed it to the other colleagues.
He seemed concerned because it was still in the early stages.
“I was surprised to see the magician so bright.”
At that moment, Jeanne spoke first.
It seemed to be referring to the magician, Elisabeth.
“Yes?”
Since they are now in a relationship as the leader and the squad leader, Eugene also reacted using honorifics.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen such an innocent magician. It’s been difficult to see her since she started studying magic in earnest.”
After Jeanne found out that Elisabeth and Eugene had gone all the way, she thought she had done something big.
Certainly, there was a different dimension between simply forming a harem and having her younger sister mixed in there.
But watching Elisabeth yesterday and today, her thoughts changed.
Elisabeth looks so happy.
Then that’s all that matters.
“Yes. I will create more things to make her happy in the future. Captain.”
Smiling…!
Eugene finally smiled with genuine relief at Jeanne’s words.
A very unexpected bomb was thrown, but as expected, the sisterhood of the Orléans women was truly strong.
“Wow~~! My sister and the uncles are coming~~!!”
After traveling for three days, the Red Fox Mercenary Corps finally arrived in Pangea.
To be exact, Jebodang near Pangea,
They have reached the Jebodang mercenary village they created.
Mina, who had been informed of their return through a messenger pigeon about two days ago, told the children of the mercenary village about the fact, and the children had been eagerly waiting since the morning of the third day.
Finally, when the Red Fox Mercenary Corps’ procession appeared in the distance, Margaret couldn’t contain her joy and shouted cheerfully.
“Hahaha! You guys! Uncle Eugene is back!”
The children’s cheers were heard, and they began to jump around.
They have come home.
What could be happier for a mercenary than clearing a quest and feeling the warmth of their nest?
Eugene responded to the children’s cheers with an energetic appearance, as if the arduous journey of three days was meaningless.
“Margaret, did you play well with your older siblings?”
“Yes! Uncle! I helped out with the work here and played well!”
“Uncle Eugene, I’ve grown taller! I think I grow taller when I sleep here!”
“Joan of Arc, give me that! I’ll carry it for you!”
“It’s okay… This is heavy, Charlotte.”
The horses and carts headed to the stables and warehouses, and the executives of the Red Fox Mercenary Corps were surrounded by children and moved inside the mercenary village.
“Huh?”
Eugene and his colleagues, who had arrived inside the mercenary village, were wide-eyed.
“What has increased so rapidly???”
This was because the facilities of the mercenary village had been completed far more than they had expected.
“So, a pretty older sister with this kind of hair came. She mobilized a lot of people and made that, and made that, and made that!”
Then Margaret began to explain the situation, making wild gestures with her hands and feet.
A stranger came for the first time, and the stranger carried out the construction like the wind.
“This kind of hair…?”
Eugene had someone in mind from Margaret’s hand gestures.
“It’s been a while, Red Fox Mercenary Corps.”
Later, when they went further towards the mercenary village hall, a truly welcome face greeted Eugene and his party along with Mina.
“Guild leader Vivian!”
It was Vivian Saint-Pierre, the guild leader of the Alexandria Pieta Merchants Guild.
