Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 45

Chapter 45

“I didn’t think he’d run away . Abel, now you’ve done it . ”

Abel’s father, Zele, sat back while he said so .

When I woke up, there is no sign of Abel .

The inside of the village is in an uproar searching but still couldn’t find him .

There’s not a piece of single sighting news .

I thought that he might have been involved in some kind of incident because he didn’t leave any letters, but I’m sure he was against the marriage because of the timing .

In addition, the mysterious junk that Abel called the Ortem Trolley is also gone .

There were traces of a pushcart-like thing that had been moved in some parts of the village, which led to the exit of the village .

Abel must have left the village during the night .

The traces are not so solidly left .

If he already left the village, it will be difficult to find them .

If you don’t know where you’re going, you can’t follow it .

Zele let out a deep sigh and then watched his daughter, Gizel, through the gap between his fingers .

When he heard that Abel had escaped, he had been wary that Gizel would go on a rampage, but there was no sign of it .

Gizel is lonely, but not distraught .

Zele was relieved, but he felt something that didn’t add up .

In rebellion against his own marriage, the brother he loved so much ran away at night .

I’m sure there are a lot of things to think about .

You never know when it’s going to explode if you keep bottling it up .

I’m afraid to provoke her now, but if there’s something she’s hiding, it’s better to make her throw up what she knows .

“Gizel, I’m sorry . I can’t believe that Abel……”

“Father, um…… If brother comes home, please don’t blame him . ”

“Hmm?”

”My brother isn’t a very strong-willed person . Something happened a little bit and I think he was surprised . Maybe he will come back sooner than you think . At that time, don’t ask any question, and welcome him back . ”

”It can’t be that way . Abel had broken the rules and left the village . It’s also been attracting a lot of attention, such as running away before the marriage… I wonder what those around me will think if they don’t find fault with it . No, I don’t know what the other families are already thinking… . ”

Zele thought of speaking at length, but he loses under the stare of Gizel’s eyes .

Gizel is the biggest victim this time . And that girl is asking to forgive him, so it may be strange that he would kick himself because she wants him to forgive her .

“well… we’ll do that if he returns . If he returns by himself, that is . ”

“I’m sure he’ll return . ”

If Gizel is thinking positively, we should refrain from watering it down .

However, with such a firm declaration makes us want to question the basis for it .

“… However, well, Abel left with his own will . Will he return that easily . ”

”First of all, brother doesn’t have any physical strength . He has no lasting patience or perseverance when it comes to anything but magic . He may not be able to withstand the changes in their environment and come back . If you want, he might break down on the way and come back . I’m sure he’ll have wounds all over her body then, so let’s give him a warm welcome . I don’t want to pursue where he’ll be hurt . ”

” Hmmm…… That’s true, well, that might be true . ”

Zele was at a loss to answer for a moment, as his a.s.sessment was much worse than he had expected .

I thought that she might have feelings for her brother, who had abandoned her and run away, but Gizel’s expression was no more than her sister’s concern for her brother .

“… If early, let’s see . He may come back before sunset . ”

Somehow, she sounded so certain about it .

Maybe there is a reason for this .

”If he doesn’t come back by tomorrow… . . I would like my brother to return on his own if possible, but I will look up the map and pick him up from here . If you go to the Chieftain’s house, you may also find the map that brother used as a reference for his night escape . Once you know that, you’ll see where he’s going . I have an idea of what kind of places my brother would like to go . ”

The map isn’t that accurate .

The scale varies greatly depending on the person who wrote it and the time period .

Depending on which map you look at, your impression of where it’s close and where it’s far away also changes .

Conversely, once you know which map Abel consulted, it’s certainly not difficult to narrow down where he’s going .

Gizel is well versed in Abel’s tastes .

“But it is the law of the village that one should not go out without knowing…”

“I don’t care about the law! I don’t know what will happen to my brother if we leave him outside! Brother, he’s not very strong mentally!”

“This law is heavier than the others . It has been said that if a Marren tribe were to leave the village without thinking, they would surely regret it . ”

In fact, they said, there has been a young man who has left the Marren village in the last few years .

However, the young man had returned within a month .

He used to be an imposing and energetic man, but when he came back, he had become suspicious and was also shaking .

Ever since that one incident, it has been rumored that those who break the law will be cursed .

“It’s just a superst.i.tion . If he might come back soon, I wouldn’t be able to chase him down for making too much of a fuss . Even if you hurry to catch up with him, you won’t be able to catch up with him if you don’t know the direction . But if we’ve waited all day and he’s not back, then we should go find him!”

“However, I can’t say certainly even if we could narrow it down . It will take dozens of days to find him . If you go to that much trouble… . ”

“… But, but!”

Gizel, who hadn’t shown any signs of being distraught since Abel disappeared, finally came here with tears in her eyes .

I know that Zele is stubborn himself .

However, the search is not something that can be taken lightly .

It’s out of line and a complete family feud . There’s no way we can ask others to help us .

If there’s a good chance he will come back naturally, as it stands, I’d have to bet on it .

Gizel would not be convinced .

But this, I’m not going to let it pa.s.s .

“………I understand . Yes, that’s right . I said something I didn’t understand . ”

“Huh?”

… is what I think, but she easily backs down .

But I wonder why . I have a bad feeling about this .

Giselle stood up quickly and turned to leave the room .

“Wa-, wait Gizel! Don’t tell me you consider to leave the village to follow behind!”

”No, I’m not as good at magic as my brother, nor do I have anything else I’m good at . I don’t even know the common sense of other places . If I go out there, I’ll be back soon enough . ”

“…Well, that’s also true . ”

It is true that Abel can forcefully push through anything with his magic, so he may be able to live outside as well .

But Gizel is not like that .

She seems to know that, so she won’t do anything reckless .

“I have some business to attend to, so if you’ll excuse me . ”

After saying that, Gizel bowed her head and walked out of the room .
