9 Menosorpho (7)
“Frondier is in danger!”
Lishae Mansion.
That’s what Cybel said as soon as he met Elodie.
“Oh what?”
Of course Elodie didn’t understand.
Everything was so sudden.
To begin with, Elodie had barely ever talked to Cybel. All I did was say hello when I saw him face to face.
Since we are so famous, we only know each other’s names.
However, someone I have never had a conversation with comes to my house and mentions the name of ‘Frondier’.
“What are you talking about?”
“So…”
When Elodie questioned, Cybel briefly conveyed the whole story.
“──Hmm.”
After listening to Cybel’s entire story, Elodie touched her lips as if she was thinking.
Meanwhile, Cybel seemed to have calmed down a bit as she explained.
“Of course, I don’t know if Frontier is in danger right now. Just because you’ve selected a target doesn’t mean you’ll cause harm right away. But just in case…”
“No.”
Elodie shook her head.
“It’s probably dangerous now. Frontier.”
“what?!”
“If Indus really targeted Frontier, they wouldn’t miss a situation where Frontier is alone.”
“How do they know? “Frondier is alone now.”
“There is a guy among them who tames animals. “Because he must have been caught in that surveillance net.”
Elodie was aware of the eyes that were watching her from before.
At first she didn’t even notice. Because it was so faint that it couldn’t be detected with mana detection.
But if it lasts not just for a day or two, but for weeks and months.
You feel the ‘gaze’ before you sense the mana.
‘I was reluctant to kill animals and didn’t do anything, so I left them alone.’
I can’t believe you’re doing such a bothersome thing.
Elodie’s eyes sank.
“Then what should I do? “Where did Frontier go?”
“That’s the problem.”
I don’t know what Cybel was expecting.
Even for Elodie, it was difficult for her to guess where Frondier might have gone.
Now, even if we look at it positively, we can’t say we’re friends.
It might have been a long time ago.
‘…A long ago.’
When I thought about it like that, a place came to mind. The Roach family’s separate cabin where the two played together as children.
But did Frontier really go there? It’s a place I haven’t looked at in years.
Memories of the past come to mind.
My immature self said to Frondier, ‘Fron~ Fron!” The “Ah”
you were talking about .
I suddenly felt bad. I’m not very excited about saving Frontier either.
Die, Frontier.
“Why are you doing this?”
“no. “Shall we go first?”
“Do you think you know where it is?”
“Roughly.”
At Elodie’s words, Cybel’s face lit up.
Elodie saw that for a moment.
Is Cybel this happy that she was able to find Frontier?
…To Frontier or not to Frontier.
It’s because Saibel is too kind.
“Okay what should I do? Are you taking a car?”
Cybel fidgeted as if showing his impatience.
Elodie grabbed Cybel’s waist.
“no.”
“huh?”
“This is faster.”
and.
“Huh? Wow!!”
The two flew.
Cybel screamed as she saw herself moving away from the ground in an instant.
“What is this?! Flight magic?! ‘wing’?”
“No, it’s slightly higher than that.”
“Waaaaaaat!”
Elodie held Cybel and flew toward the cabin.
It was a memorable first flight for Cybel.
And that feeling.
‘It’s so heavy…!’
The body is heavy due to the wind and gravity.
Because she doesn’t fly on her own.
It was not comfortable for a first flight.
* * *
“That’s how I came. Ta-da, it’s amazing, right?”
Cybel said, drawing a V with a proud expression.
I answered.
“…uh. It’s really amazing. thank you.”
I had no choice but to say that.
I’m just thankful that she was so worried about me that she ran around in a situation where it wasn’t clear that I was in danger.
But when Cybel heard my answer, he became dazed again.
“──Huh? No, it’s not that big of a deal…”
Something creeps into the voice.
Why is it not a big deal?
Isn’t it amazing? You just boasted to yourself.
“What about that kid?”
Elodie asked after seeing the child I was carrying.
“The younger brother of one of them.”
“Why are you here?”
“I am both my hostage and their hostage.”
“huh?”
They both tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand what I was saying.
I said with a bitter smile.
“They made this child act like crying and called me out, but when the child came close to me, one of them shot an arrow.”
“what? “He’s your colleague’s younger brother?”
“okay. Well, not a colleague. “It looks like he’s a hired mercenary.”
After answering Cybel’s question, Elodie’s eyes immediately turned cold.
“…Can I shoot an arrow too?”
“no.”
“why? “They shot that one too.”
“If you shoot, everyone will die. “What about one foot?”
The arrow fired by Elodie is the ‘storm’ of ‘Rudra’, one of the five gods.
If you shoot something like that, not only will people die, but the terrain here will change.
When a person who is new to this area visits the area while looking at a map, the area changes to the point where they say, ‘Screw you, this map is crap.’
“So are you okay now?”
Cybel asked in a worried tone.
I shrugged.
“Well, since there’s Elodie.”
“what? Are you planning to leave all the work to me?”
“There’s no need for that. Their goal was to turn me into a murderer and bury me. That only works if I’m the only one here. Having Elodie around puts them at a disadvantage. “Even if Constell’s teachers don’t believe me, they will believe yours.”
I can sense that Serf’s continued use of this kid is intended to turn me into a murderer.
Serph was probably trying to make it seem like I kidnapped this kid by now.
If I were the only one here right now, it would have been easy for me to let people know that the ‘good organization’ called Indus had a bad opinion of me.
‘Maybe that’s what Serf was aiming for when he tipped off Cybel. If I let Indus know that I was targeted, people around me would naturally think there was a problem with me.’
However, Elodie has a reputation above that of Cybel, and above all, she has the strength to defeat even all of them.
“The problem is, honey. “I’ll have to wake you up first.”
I put down the child I was carrying.
Elodie put her hand in front of the child’s face.
The light of mana emitted briefly and the child slowly opened his eyes.
The child looked around blankly.
“…ah.”
He must have realized the situation when he checked my face.
He is looking at Cybel and Elodie with scared eyes.
“don’t worry. “Because they are my colleagues.”
…I wondered if these words would reassure the child, but fortunately, he seemed relieved.
I asked.
“Now that I think about it, I don’t know your name. What is your name?”
“…Rockbell.”
“You are Grobel’s younger brother, right?”
The child nodded slightly.
My body is shaking. Confusion and fear will still be coursing through your body.
“You can just send it to them. “One of them is his older brother?”
“If you send it back like this, you will become a hostage again.”
“…no way. “I wonder if my brother will leave it alone.”
Of course, Grobel won’t let that happen.
…Probably any Serf I know.
“Then let’s get moving. “Isn’t it best not to meet them?”
Even though Cybel said so.
I shook my head. Elodie probably thinks the same way.
“late.”
It was as if my words were timed.
“──I’ve been looking for it for a while.”
That eerily friendly voice was heard again.
Because there is a Tamer spying next to the Serph. Running away is useless anyway.
Serph’s voice was heard but not seen. It’s hidden deep inside the forest.
Before we knew it, the sounds of popularity and footsteps increased. It seemed like they were hiding and surrounding us.
“Don’t move. Frontier Cybel.”
Elodie spoke lowly.
With her mana sense, she could at least roughly know their location.
Considering Elodie’s tense state, it would be safe to say that their siege is complete.
“──Serf Daniel! “Give up now!”
Elodie shouted.
“Now you know it’s pointless! It’s impossible to frame Frondier! “I will be the witness of the Frontier!”
Elodie speaks well.
Although I said this a while ago. anyway.
“Yes. I guess that was wrong. “I didn’t know that Miss Cybel would go to this extent.”
Serph still speaks while hiding in the forest.
Do you really not want to be seen?
“So I’m going to kill you all here.”
“…what?”
Elodie questioned Serph’s words as if she couldn’t believe her ears.
Yes, that kind of guy.
The purpose of ‘Indus’ is to increase the influence of the common people. Although it contains a more dangerous word called ‘revolution’ behind it, on the surface Indus is still on the side of justice. The ‘revolution’ is still too early for them.
However, Serf Daniel’s personal goals are different.
‘Aristocrat hater. Serf Daniel.’
A serf who is later branded as a famous criminal in the Etius game. The reason he initially joined the Indus was to use it as an appropriate excuse to kill the nobles.
And little by little, we build up our track record within the Indus and join in the revolution that will one day break out.
Serphs usually do not step forward.
The type of person who chooses a ‘false leader’ to show to others and acts secretly behind the scenes.
‘The problem is that this is just prior knowledge.’
I’ve never fought a Serph while playing Etius. In the end, the revolution failed and Serf was captured by the investigation team and sent to the ‘Tavon Wall’. I heard that Ridwi Urfa, the head of the family there, had a hard time.
I don’t know his abilities or skills.
‘But can Serf still beat Elodie?’
Serph’s face is invisible, but his voice is extremely calm. As if he was confident of his victory even in this situation where Elodie was present.
how?
There really are only a handful of people who can beat Elodie.
“Rockbell.”
Serph suddenly called Rockbell’s name.
Rockbell, who had been cowering next to me, suddenly stiffened.
“Stab the frontier.”
Phew!
“…!”
──The situation was later.
First of all, the pain was so intense that I lost my mind.
Is it the side?
Was he stabbed by a knife?
As he was falling down, what he saw were the panicked eyes of Cybel and Elodie.
On the other hand, it was Rockbell standing there holding a dagger, completely out of focus.
* * *
Submerged consciousness.
I struggled to wake up from my sinking consciousness.
What an idiot.
Do you faint after being hit with a knife?
wake up!
Wake up!
A huge bubble of unconsciousness rushes in, barely holding on to a single thread of consciousness.
And all kinds of past memories come rushing in.
──I hate Elodie.
──Why do you make things difficult for me by being next to me?
─Why are you always smiling in front of me?
─Why are you always so kind to me?
─Yes, I know. That’s because you have spiritual powers.
─Because he has so much power and talent, he naturally laughs when he sees someone like me!!
Is this a memory of Frontier?
The disgust, inferiority complex, and unpleasantness he had turned my insides upside down.
Yes, because I am Frontier.
It was as if a hole that had been forcibly blocked had been opened. His memories pour out like mud.
─Die, Elodie.
-Fall into everything and die in despair.
─This is my truth.
─These are my honest words without lies.
Frontier’s memories gradually become clearer.
A scene played like a movie film before my eyes.
Frontier met someone at the cabin.
Wearing fluttering robes, you can’t even tell their gender.
He told Frondier something, and Frondier interpreted the ancient language as if he were possessed.
Fragments of that interpretation come to me as if they were being instilled in me.
Frondier trembled with joy as he finally looked at a spell that had been interpreted.
─With just this, Elodie’s divine power…!
I even felt that joy and joy.
It’s as if I, not Frontier, hate Elodie.
Just like I want to get rid of Elodie’s divine powers.
Like I’m really happy with the plan.
…however.
“shut up…!”
So naturally.
After all, I am not a frontier.
Since I am not a frontier, I always had a feeling of guilt in my heart. Because I took Frontier’s life away.
Regardless of whether he is lazy or incompetent, his life is all about him.
No matter how his life ends, it will have its own value.
But if Frontier tries to kill someone.
If you try to put an innocent person in misery.
I also have nothing to hide anymore.
Frontier interpreted the ancient language. To eliminate Elodie’s divine power.
But none of that matters to me.
I must have studied hard just because of my hatred for Elodie. I just use it according to my taste.
‘I’ll write down my memories of interpreting ancient language.’
This is how ‘Frondier de Roach’ will live from now on.
Because I will struggle with all my might in a world destined for destruction.
Give up, Frontier.
You are the worst villain.
I replayed and replayed Frontier’s memories endlessly. I put all his knowledge into my head.
It wasn’t about learning new knowledge. I absorbed the knowledge quickly, as if recalling a memory I had forgotten for a while.
I remembered what Daoud said a while ago.
-Then there is a possibility that this magic circle is an ‘ancient language.’
I told you so.
They say Menosorpho is made up of ancient languages.
The rules for arranging symbols and patterns are ancient.
After absorbing all of Frontier’s knowledge, I faced Menosorpho’s magic circle in the workshop.
‘…I see.’
I get it.
What is Menosorpho? How to use it.
The moment I realized everything,
I opened my eyes.
