Chapter 253 - A Story of a Certain Village 9 (Side: Gizel)

The four members of the Marren Abel search party, Gizel, s.h.i.+bi, Firo, and Lil, had finally left the city of Lomarn after receiving information about Abel.

The adult group was finally cut off.

Gizel was annoyed with the adults who were so frightened of the outside world that they didn’t move an inch from the inn, but she waited for them, believing that one day they would make a comeback.

Just as Gizel thought, the adults began to go out here and there, driven by necessity and curiosity to purchase daily necessities, and they gradually began to improve their reclusive nature.

So far, so good.

However, when she learned that the adults were planning a sightseeing tour of the Marren tribe and Nefersia, the Capital of Water without telling Gizel, she finally reached the limit of her patience.

Nefersia, the Capital of Water, has unique buildings and many huge waterways throughout the city.

It is said that this was once to prevent the invasion of magical beasts, but now the magic field has settled down and the city is completely peaceful.

However, that doesn’t mean it has gone to waste. The unusual cityscape attracts people’s attention, and the unusual experience of traveling around the city on a small boat has made it one of the three most popular tourist destinations in Dinrat Kingdom in the last ten years.

There is a huge lake nearby, and it is said that the water dragon Neferu, a magical beast called the guardian G.o.d of the Capital of Water, appears there.

The water dragon, Neferu, is very gentle and does not get angry if you touch its head, and if you ride on its back, it will carry you to the other side of the lake.

The reason for the revelation was that while Gizel was taking a walk in the middle of the night, worrying about this and that, she happened to discover the group of adults in the back of the inn with pamphlets in their hands, fussing about how cute it was, how fun it would be, and how they could brag about it to their son.

“Gizel-chan …… this is not good, let’s go home …… I’m sure they’re in a lot of trouble out there right now …… and they’re counting on us to make the money …… and I’m sure Zele is p.i.s.sed.”

“…………”

Gizel, holding the grimoire sim, turned her head away from s.h.i.+bi.

Gizel was rather angry at her father for abandoning the search for her brother and indulging in the water dragon.

“It’s okay. Because if they can move that much, they can make money if they want to.”

Lil, who was reclining on Gizel’s shoulder, rubbed her cheek against her shoulder and said.

She had become my sister so much.

“Hmm …… I don’t know …… but ……”

“Rather than that, s.h.i.+bi-san. You are sure where my brother’s whereabouts are, right?”

Gizel looks at s.h.i.+bi with the eyes, “If it’s false information, there’ll be consequences.”.

“Tha-, that’s definitely true, because many adventurers have said it.”

Of the four, s.h.i.+bi is the one with the strongest connection to the outside world.

Gizel’s success made all of them famous, and since they were recruited at that time and wandered from place to place in a good mood, their faces became wider to some extent.

“I heard that there was a white sorcerer named Mr. Mountain. I heard that he disappeared around the same time as the Gaston incident, though …… There was a time when a large number of Lomarn adventurers went to the Royal Capital to watch the arena, and he moved to another city at that time.”

When Gizel heard this, she exhaled in satisfaction, and puts her arms around the grimoire sim.

I was thinking that maybe he didn’t visit the Adventurer Support Center here because he didn’t get any results when I asked him to look into an adventurer named Abel at the adventurer support center, but Yamasan is a mysterious word that Abel likes to use from time to time.

I’m almost certain it’s my brother himself.

Gizel and the others did not know anything about the Gaston incident.

Only that the residents of the Lomarn City would occasionally mention the name.

If they try to ask too much about it, they either look disgusted or smile amiably.

It seems to have something to do with the “Gaston Adventure Book” that is discarded in large quant.i.ties in the corners of the city and the “Gaston Buns” that are sold in large quant.i.ties, but I don’t know anything more than that.

But I knew that it was a gloomy incident that the city would like to forget, so I avoided exploring it too much.

“Finally …… finally, I can see my brother now ……”

On the way to our destination, we visited the a.s.s.h.i.+m City, halfway between the Lomarn City and our destination, to replenish our food supply and to get rid of the fatigue of traveling by carriage.

Gizel was walking through the market with Lil for a change of pace.

At that time, they saw some suspicious people.

They were all wearing dark cloaks with magic-like symbols around the edges, and they were carrying long spears on their backs.

All of them had two sheep-like horns growing out of their heads and a blue crystalline stone on their foreheads.

There were about ten of them in all.

A man who seemed to be the head of the group was at the center, and the others were kneeling and bowing their heads.

One of the kneeling people opened his mouth in the same position.

“Melzef-sama, we have received confirmation! There is no doubt about the information you gave us!”

Gizel turns her attention to the man called Melzef.

He looked to be around forty years old. He is tall and well-built.

“Then I guess we don’t need to stay long in a.s.s.h.i.+m. Get ready to go after Red Stone as soon as possible. Perhaps an engagement with the Count is inevitable. Be prepared.”

“Yes!”

The group of sheepskin horns clearly stood out from their surroundings, and the people around them were looking at them in fear, wondering what was going on.

Melzef narrowed his eyes and turned his head. All at once, they all looked away.

Gizel looked down as well.

“Our appearance is still very eye-catching ……”

He tapped the ground with the sole of his shoe and clicked his tongue, as if somewhat unsettled.

Then he stroked his own horn with his fingertips.

“So it seems ……”

“There’s a high percentage of Norcs in this country.”

It was not the sheep’s horns that caught my attention, but rather their blatantly suspicious appearance, their strangely uniform movements, and Melzef’s loud voice, which I did not seem to pay attention to.

“Melzef-sama ……”

One of them, who had remained silent, said with difficulty.

“What’s the matter, Defne, tell me.”

“Are you sure you want to kill Mea-sama? That talk before is a story of a fairy tale 500 years ago. And Mea-sama is Melzef-sama’s ……”

Melzef’s eyebrows twitched, and the next moment, he held the spear on his back in his hand and thrust it right into the side of Defne’s face.

Blood flowed from the man called Defne’s ears, and Defne grunted, holding his ears as he lowered his head.

The others showed no particular agitation in response.

They remained on their knees, unmoving.

“I will gouge out both your eyes the next time you make some nonsense about that Red Stone being my daughter. That thing is my daughter, you say? That thing is a demon. I knew I should have killed her the day she was born. If the Kudor Church hears of this, they will destroy us this time. Before that happens, we’ll take care of it ourselves.”

Gizel pulled Lil’s hand and left.

There is no doubt that it is better not to get involved with them.

“B-Big Sister Gizel ……”

Lil stared at Gizel’s face horrified.

“…… was the original intention, but this city, let’s leave early. I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that your brother is headed to a less crowded area of the city,……, and the destination won’t be covered.”
