Selena furrowed her brows in confusion as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.
He opened his mouth slowly, as if choosing his words.
“What do you mean by moderation?…”
“It is literally moderation. “If it’s something that can be reported, do it. If not, don’t do it.”
Selena’s eyes widened at my words. Anger welled up in those eyes.
“…Are you telling me to betray Mangot now?”
“You make that decision.”
It was a shameless statement. Selena shot me an angry look.
I received that look in silence.
Selena responded sharply.
“Do you think I will comply with that? “You’d rather kill me.”
“Why am I killing you? It just gets your hands dirty. If you reject my offer, go to Mangot and tell them this. ‘Bring in a better guy.’”
“….”
Anyway, this is my ‘punishment’ for Selena. It is not a question of whether to follow or not. If she doesn’t follow, Selena will only be ‘replaced’.
However, Selena did not open her mouth yet. I can see traces of that worry, too.
“…How do you know whether I will hide the report or report it in full?”
Selena did not refuse. Rather, I asked.
Doubts were already forming in Selena’s mind.
“I do not know.”
“…yes?”
“You may find out in time. But even that won’t matter.”
Selena’s head tilted. This probably means that if I don’t know, how can it be punished?
“Selena. “Do you remember what I said?”
“What?”
“Your name.”
Selena’s mouth fell shut.
I asked again.
“Have you checked at Mangot?”
Selena did not respond this time, but was looking at me as if she was somewhat resentful.
Is it unpleasant because I feel like I am acting according to my thoughts? However, there are facts that cannot be denied.
“I couldn’t do it. “You can’t trust Mangot.”
Selena is the child of a noble family with the last name ‘Vanier’. Mangot, a gathering of outcasts, will not let Selena go to her family.
Especially since it was Mangot who killed Selena’s father in the first place.
Of course, Selena wouldn’t know because she didn’t tell him that she killed her father, but she would still know that Mangot wouldn’t let her go.
In other words, Selena currently has no means of finding out whether what I said was false or true.
Then I went back to the bed and sat down on the end.
“Selena you have to make a choice.”
I put my hands together. The fingertips of both hands were glued together.
I heard somewhere that if you do this, you can gain the other person’s trust, but I don’t know how it actually works.
“I won’t get involved in whether you actually report it or not. Anyway, in the future, you will find out even if you don’t like it. But you will miss your only and final opportunity.”
“…an opportunity?”
“A chance to find out who you are.”
Selena trembled. That wasn’t a surprise. I heard something I was trying to ignore.
“If you are loyal to Mangot, you will be safe, at least for now. I will end my life in Mangot without any problems. “But.”
I saw Selena. Her eyes were already shaking without any reason.
“Selena, if you help me, I will take you to my family in my name. “So that your life gets back on track.”
“…What does it mean to take on Frontier’s name?”
“Don’t you know? “My name is ‘Frondier de Roach.’”
It may sound loud, but in reality, how difficult is it to take a child to his/her family?
Rather, Selena’s presence at Cape Bay makes this simple task so difficult.
…More than anything.
Mangot’s method of killing the father and using the daughter as their ‘horse’ does not suit my temperament.
“….”
Despite saying this, Selena did not open her mouth. It would be natural. Either stick by my side or abandon me. There is too much burden on both sides to make a choice right now.
“…Well, nothing changes either way. You will report as usual and I do not know what report you are sending. “I understand silence as positivity.”
“If you say yes, I have no answer.”
“That’s what I mean to know. “I won’t hold you accountable.”
I prepared a corner for Selena to escape to.
“So, to commemorate you being on my side, I’d like to ask you something.”
I am proud of my shamelessness. At this level, wouldn’t it have reached the level of art?
I said to Selena, who couldn’t even open her mouth to say anything and rolled her eyes here and there.
“How far did you report it to Mangot? “Try answering with a lie.”

I headed to the accommodation where Aten and Saibel were staying.
To thank Cybel for joining forces to block the barrier, and especially for lending Cassian to Cybel.
The two were quickly spotted. It was in front of the entrance to the mansion.
However, the expressions on both of their faces were unusual. As soon as they saw me, their expressions hardened.
And then he walked towards me.
“…Uh, hi. “I came to say thank you…”
They both looked at my face without reacting, as if they were listening to me. Is it correct to say that I looked into it?
Cybel glanced at Aten, and Aten nodded and placed his hand on my shoulder.
Faaah!
Aten’s hand on my shoulder glowed.
This light and this feeling are somehow familiar.
‘Ah, it’s Healer’s ‘Mana Care’.’
A technique that penetrates one’s mana to determine the opponent’s physical condition. I heard Aten used this before when I fought Renzo and fell.
Is Aten already able to freely use mana care?
“…hmm.”
Aten made a short noise as if confirming, then looked at Saibel and nodded.
“It looks like there are no injuries.”
“──Ha.”
After hearing Aten’s answer, Saibel sighed deeply. It was a sigh of relief.
…I see. Are you worried? Because I couldn’t tell you when I left the barrier. I was so insensitive.
“Um, I’m sorry. “I wasn’t trying to hide it.”
“Hey, you bastard———!!!”
My words were swallowed up by Cybel’s incredible force. Aura bloomed from all over her body.
Is Cybel now able to control Aurors even with heightened emotions? Really amazing
“How did you get the idea to cross the barrier on Cassian? So you’re saying you’ve been thinking that since I brought Cassian here? Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen a kid so excited about wanting to die!”
It was no time for idle thoughts.
I feel a similar sense of life in Cybel as I did in Elodie.
But this time it’s my fault, so it’s hard to argue against it.
“You’d rather run away! “I would have been relieved if you had escaped to the center on Cassian, you idiot!”
“No, no matter what, I didn’t run away.”
“That was better, you idiot! you idiot! I was cured a hundred times a thousand times, you idiot! You idiot! “You idiot!”
Are there only two swear words that Cybel can swear? I wanted to ask, but I held back.
Cybel squeezed my shoulder. The aura was flowing and its power was incredible. There was no pain because he had no intention of hurting me, but I felt an unknown weight.
“…still.”
Saibel said. The moment she uttered those words, the aura within her fell asleep instantly.
“Still, I’m glad.”
“….”
“I’m glad….”
I felt a little more guilty at this moment than when Cybel was angry.
Suddenly, Cybel raised her head. Her fascinating face caught my eye up close.
Lips pursed as if they had something to say. The eyebrows came together as Cybel lightly pushed me and walked away.
Saibel said as she turned around.
“Ah, I feel refreshed after shouting. I got tired. “I want to go in.”
And here I entered the mansion without even looking back.
“….”
“….”
And where Saibel left, only Aten and I remained.
“Uh um. Aten. I’m sorry to you too. “I should have told you in advance.”
“…are you okay.”
Aten said it was okay and his expression was calm.
…But Aten’s expression is always like that, so I’m not sure if he’s really okay. How can Aten be okay when Cybel is so angry?
“…But that’s it from next time. “I wish you would tell me in advance as you said.”
“Sorry. “I feel like it will somehow stop me.”
“I will stop it.”
Aten responded immediately. As if it were natural.
“But even if you try to stop me, I will go with you. “I told you I could follow you, right?”
“…huh. It did.”
That’s what I said when I was at Constel. I allowed Aten to follow me.
Even though I was positive, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Aten is a princess. I don’t know where I will be heading in the future, but I may be heading to a more dangerous place than I am now.
Will I be able to take Aten to a place like that in the future?
-Won’t you stay by Aten’s side?
Empress Fili once said that to me. He said he didn’t feel any foreboding about the future with me.
However, since Aten is the princess, I wonder how long that will be possible.
“Because I am the princess.”
Aten said. It was a remark that seemed to read my mind. When I was surprised, Aten laughed.
“There are things that are possible because you are the princess. Just like I came here today.”
“….”
“Then I’ll go in too. “I’m glad you’re safe, Mr. Frontier.”
Aten entered the mansion with gentle steps.
Left alone, I exhaled lightly.
There are more people who believe in me and care about me. It was a huge step forward for the human sloth Frontier.
However, I am only now realizing that the weight is heavier than I thought.

The next day.
As I climbed the wall, the strong wind still pushed me.
But this time I didn’t wear thick clothes. It was similar to the outfit I wore when I first came here.
Penelope’s cloth, which had already returned to its original state, was worn as a tie. There was no need for thick clothes.
“I thought you ran away.”
Sanders spoke. I smiled and nodded.
“That’s not entirely wrong.”
“What are you talking about? That’s very wrong. “After all, didn’t you save Tavern?”
“…Not yet.”
I answered and took a deep breath.
My body trembled slightly. Of course it wasn’t because of the cold because Penelope’s cloth was there.
The reason your body trembles is because of tension.
I looked around the audience.
“….”
All the troops guarding Tavern were lined up. They were watching me.
I told Ridwi that we were starting the ‘restoration’ of the barrier, but Ridwi called them all together.
Selena, who was next to me, whispered.
“If this many people see it, it would be meaningless for me to hide the report.”
It was half teasing.
“are you okay. Even if I get caught by Mangot.”
“Hmm, really?”
Anyway, ‘restoration’ can get caught. Rather, I will be seen as a more ‘useful guy’ to Mangot.
If I become competent in functions other than combat, Mangot will consider controlling me, even if only by force. It’s better to leave it that way for now.
The important thing is to hide the fact that I am getting stronger. If all the weapons I have are revealed, Mangot will try to kill me right away.
Fortunately, Selena didn’t see me using Excalibur in front of the barrier. She said she thought the traces of destruction in front of the wall were done by Ridwi.
For now, that’s enough.
“Everyone gathered together? Then let’s get started.”
Ridwi, the person who brought everyone together, said.
I had a lot of things I wanted to say, but I kept quiet because I felt like I would be thrown in jail if I did.
Seup hoo.
Taking another deep breath, I placed my hand on the barrier.
There would be no such shame in failing in front of so many people.

After confirming that Penelope’s cloth glowed.
I started ‘restoration’.
