Chapter 334 - Episode Thirty-Four - Old Pen's Progress (6)

I was hanging on to the afternoon session of making the wooden dragon, but I was not in the mood.

But I was too preoccupied to do any work or give any instructions.

During the lunch break, I gave in to the temptation of discussing magic with Mea, who had come to check on me, and I had neglected her.

The members of the alchemist division were whispering in delight, saying, ‘The leader is being churlish today,’ but I can’t bring myself to be angry now.

Altamir, perhaps feeling responsible for Mea’s disappearance, said, “…… should we go check on her soon? I’ll see how I can follow up while you’re not here,” he suggested.

However, Penrath was walking around the workshop with his eyes in a pan, harshly evaluating the workmans.h.i.+p of the other members of the group, and building my work in that way.

Normally I would be very grateful for his help, but now that he’s doing it, I can’t help myself.

It was hard to find the right moment to leave the square.

-The incident happened less than an hour after we resumed making the wooden dragons.

As I was wondering what to do, Peter suddenly appeared in the square with a dozen or so of his men.

“I’m sorry to bother you.”

I had never seen him with anyone other than Myunhi in this village before, but it seemed he had hidden them somewhere.

He’s not to be trifled with.

As soon as Peter arrived, he said, “Get started,” and clapped his hands.

His men spread out and surrounded me.

Thinking what was going on, “Eh, are you going to help me?” I asked, he had his men hold me down and begin to restrain Penrath.

Even I, a slow learner, could sense it.

Somehow, Peter had learned about Penrath and was trying to take him out of the territory.

“Penraaaaath!”

I reach for Penrath desperately, even as Peter’s men hold me down at every joint.

Penrath’s small body was pinned down from both sides, and he was dragged in front of Peter, almost unable to move.

“Abel-sama! Although it was a short time, I was happy to be by Abel-sama’s side! Please, please, please don’t forget about me…!”

Penrath shouts with a face wrinkled with tears and snot.

Peter looked at his face from close range and nodded slightly.

“Take him away!”

“Penraaaaaaaaath!”

Ignoring my shout, Peter turned his body around and started walking.

He is followed by Peter’s men who are holding Penrath down.

“I never thought that Penrath Bonge, a top-ranked sorcerer, would be in my territory before I knew it …… I don’t know whether to praise you for neutralizing that Penrath without anyone knowing, or punish you for bringing him into your territory and welcoming him.”

Peter shakes his head and turns his back to me.

Why, why does Peter know about Penrath?

He hadn’t noticed him at all when they pa.s.sed each other once.

I’m sure Peter didn’t know what Penrath looked like in detail.

But it’s okay.

I still have my hand.

Peter owes me a debt, and I’m sure he has a lot of things to ask of me.

I’m the only one who can communicate with Kudor whenever he wants.

In the first place, Peter is the kind of person who has given me special permission to use forbidden magic and forbidden alchemy in order to ingratiate himself with me.

This time, it’s just a tactic.

It’s just a performance to show that I’m serious about taking this sorcerer with me.

There’s no way Peter would want to confront me now.

“Peter-san! All right, I know you want me to do something for you again! That’s it, right! Really, you’re really good at tactics, Peter-san! Yes, yes, I lose! It’s my defeat! So, What can I do for you, sir! Is it Levi, the water G.o.d? Or the earth G.o.d Garuja?”

Peter looked at me with a puzzled look.

“No, this one is really too dangerous to joke about. He’s one of the ten most dangerous people in the world when it comes to the demon brain Penrath of Riveras Kingdom.”

“Peter-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!”

Leaving me behind, Peter had his men take Penrath away and walked off at a leisurely pace.

After a sufficient distance, Peter’s men release me from their bonds.

But they all had their staffs at the ready, and I could easily imagine that if I tried anything, they would try to beat me with them on the spot.

A sorcerer is powerless if he is unprepared.

“Penrath …… Penraaaath …… that’s too much …… “

I collapsed and fell to my knees on the spot.

Peter glanced back at me, then whispered to Myunhi beside him.

“Hey, Myunhi, did I do something wrong?”

“No, I know that you are a man of many means, but I think that you are right this time, all things considered.”

“Isn’t that right? I’m sorry I asked you such a strange question. I don’t know why I was so anxious.”

d.a.m.n you, Peter, you have betrayed me not once, but twice.

Mea, who had heard the commotion and returned before I knew it, hugged my sobbing shoulders.

“Don’t worry, Mea will stay by Abel’s side for a long time! Okay! Okay! I’m not going away!”

“Mea……Mea……”

I hugged her back while crying.

For a moment, Mea’s eyes blinked wide in surprise, but then she quickly narrowed her eyes, smiled kindly, and gently rubbed my back with the hand that was around my shoulder.

“Ehehe ……”

“Oh, Mea-chan, you’re here. Thank you for the information, you’ve been very helpful.”

Peter turned around and waved his hand in the air.

“Peter-san!?”

I was. .h.i.t in the jaw by Mea vigorously standing up, and I fell to the ground.

“How could you! Why! You said you’d never tell!”

Peter puts his hand to the tip of his lips, which are colored venomously with elegant gestures, and smiles as he leaves.

“…… As expected, don’t you feel sorry for him? Why did you do what you did? I would think that Peter-sama would be grateful to you if you were to tip him off about Abel’s misdeeds ……”

Myunhi looks back at Mea slightly, her mouth twitching.

“It would be nice if it always worked that way, but you can’t rely on a single precedent and expect to be lucky enough to get such a pinpoint situation. I don’t believe in jinxes. The world is a logical place, and you can’t change the arrangement of the pieces because of them.”

“Haha ……”

“It’s more important to kick Abel in the s.h.i.+ns as many times as possible to keep him in a bit of a funk. It’s clear from this incident that if he gets carried away, he’ll be in big trouble, right?”

“Peter-san …… Peter-san! You Queer! You’re a black-hearted, lying, disgusting Queer!”

Mea’s eyes were filled with tears as she blamed Peter.

When I looked up, my eyes met hers.

“I-It’s not me, Abel! M-Mea would not do that! That’s just the Queer’s lie, okay? Okay?”
