Chapter 1325 – Grindel
Hachii was a great person.
That’s what I thought when I saw Grindel’s direct relatives, who were far removed from the sensibilities of ordinary humans, look at me with a face full of goodwill and respect.
“Hmph. Poor guy. I thought he left the house, but he went looking for Hachii.”
A middle-aged man. The man, probably the intangible father, raised the corners of his mouth as if satisfied.
“Welcome, Hachii. You’re welcome.”
Shooooo. The rock they stand on comes down towards us.
As we get closer, we can see the people standing next to the head of the family in more detail.
A tall man with a good appearance and a strict appearance.
A man with a dirty look and a wicked smile on his face.
Likewise, she has a pretty face, but she smiles as if she is looking down on others, so it is clear that she has a dirty personality.
And a beautiful woman in a wheelchair.
A middle-aged man. There are a total of five people including Grindel’s current matriarch.
“But Hachii, even for you, it’s hard to tolerate two violent acts.”
The matriarch says it is difficult to tolerate words, but still speaks softly with eyes filled with kindness.
But, two violent attacks?
While raising his eyebrows, the good-looking man who couldn’t seem to be impatient bursts out!! I jumped.
Shoo! Quaaaaang!
Even though he fell from a fairly high place, there were no visible injuries.
It didn’t seem like he used any special magic or energy, but he had considerable physical ability.
He gave me a big smile.
“Haha. Hachii. Are you ruining the ordeal by doing it for the first time after coming back?”
He stared at me with a voice full of interest… But then his face turned into a puzzled one.
“But you. Were your eyes that bad? Did you have any health problems?”
“…”
No fuck.
Why do these Grindel kids keep messing around with other people’s eyes?
At that moment, a woman who seemed to have a dirty personality floated down to us and came down next to us.
Above the Colosseum she didn’t look at me. People standing in front of the entrance. To be precise, I looked at Miss Orute.
“Anyway, an intruder came to Orute and Oru, so what are you doing without stopping it? Even if you knew it was Hachii oppa, it’s hard to tolerate it~?”
There was sadism in those eyes.
Orutega tsk. As she clicked her tongue, her temperamental eyes turned grim.
“Ha? Are you tongue-tied just now? Orute? You idiot?”
The angry woman glared at Miss Orute, and Miss Orute did not avoid her eyes.
“It’s been a while since I wanted to teach you… Today is a really good day, so Neiru will be patient~”
The angry woman glanced at me, then she stared at the incorporeal figure next to Oh Lute.
A new emotion appeared on his face.
There is a feeling of belittling and ignoring the intangible, but beyond that…
…
This is… Um… To put it bluntly, a female gaze.
I think they’re probably cousins. Okay. In a fantasy world where incest is common, love between cousins is not uncommon.
However, her incorporeal form seemed to have no interest in the temperamental woman at all.
This guy was staring at me and no one else.
…Why does this bastard make me feel bad?
“What are you talking about, you idiot?”
When I raised my voice without realizing it, the intangibility was in vain. I came to my senses.
But Grindels also noticed a sense of discomfort.
“…Who are you?”
A well-built man made a threatening voice and I said with a grin.
“Who are you, Hachi?”
“You bastard…!”
Swish with a fierce face. Man putting his fist back.
Crash. Sreung!
“!”
Me. And then the intangible knife touched his neck.
My knife slightly dug into his uvula, and the intangible dagger was placed deep as if it would cut at any moment.
Intangible grinned.
“Hey, hey. It’s been a while?”
“…Tofute… You bastard…!!”
A handsome man. This bastard. I thought he put off the conversation with the intangible for a while simply because he was happy to see Hachii, but now I see that he didn’t want to pretend to know the intangible.
The unconcealed fear of the intangible was revealed in its eyes.
Seeing the rice cake gnashing its teeth and glaring at the intangible, I raised my voice to lighten the mood.
“Hey, I’m Hachi. Don’t you recognize me?”
It was a sincere favor, but his face was greatly crumpled.
“…What is this frivolous guy? Tohute.”
It’s really amazing.
He seems like a high-ranking person among his immediate family, but he doesn’t know me?
“Is it your business? Put your fist down. If you don’t want to be chased.”
“You you…”
I feel a little sorry for Tteokdae, who is so scared by the intangible that he can’t do anything.
In the meantime, mate. Match. Applause was heard.
When I turned my head, I saw a man with a wicked smile as his default. In other words, the temperamental man approached Muhyeong with a smile on his face.
“It’s been a while, huh? Tofute-san.”
“Yeah. It’s been a while. Do base.”
Tohute was displeased, but the man seemed to be so happy about this reunion that he couldn’t bear it.
There seems to be a fear of intangible things like rice cakes, but on the other hand, there is also a hint of admiration.
No matter how you look at it, it seems clear that both of them have been beaten by Muhyeong in the past.
“Mr. Kaiji, put your fist down. Mr. Tofute is an opponent you can’t beat even when you are at your best, right?”
“…Don’t talk nonsense. I’ll steal a base.”
A man who speaks loudly but lowers his fist.
That moment. Squeak above his head. Squeak. I hear the sound of wheels rolling.
I raised my head and said, Oh. I was impressed.
A beauty in a wheelchair was flying in the sky.
That’s interesting.
I thought it wasn’t just a wheelchair, but it’s a flying wheelchair.
A woman who breaks the laws of gravity and approaches us by rolling a wheel.
She smiled and her intangible nature was in her eyes.
“Welcome, Tohute. How long has it been since this?”
Who is this person?
He looks slightly older to be a cousin, but too young to be an intangible aunt.
Also. She was also the woman that Muhyeong was ignoring the most.
“Cha-am.”
When the intangible showed no reaction, the woman placed her hand on her cheek with a look of disappointment on her face and let out a sigh of relief.
“In the past, he was a truly unique child who tried to live up to expectations just like our Dohute.”
“Dofute?”
The woman smiled brightly as the intangible reacted for the first time.
“Are you finally feeling up to talking? My son.”
…Son?
This person. An intangible mother?
I looked at the young woman in surprise. No. The intangible mother gently touched her own leg.
“I felt sorry for my mom back then. You deserved to do such a cruel thing.”
At the end of her words, her voice became wet and she spoke, looking at her incorporeal form.
“Will you forgive her mother now?”
“Under.”
She snorted and clenched her fist, as if being intangible didn’t kick.
And.
Bang.
A sound and a loud mana that made me think the surroundings had stopped for a moment.
The matriarch hit the floor with the cane she was holding and stared at us with her cold eyes.
“…Indeed. They look alike.”
When the head of the household saw me, her face immediately relaxed slightly.
“A wizard with spiritual magic. Welcome.”
I feel that the people around me have changed when I hear the word “Spirit magic.”
What is this guy? It was a look that said, but now it’s a mysterious look with a mix of emotions.
This time, the matriarch turned to Nelf, who was standing like a sack of barley, and lowered her head.
“I’ve been going through an ordeal, so I’m only now able to say hello. I’m very sorry. It’s been a while, miss.”
“It’s been a while since I saw you, matriarch.”
Nelf tried to lift the hem of her skirt as if she were wearing a dress, but was startled and bowed politely.
Hmm. The response is more lukewarm than I expected.
Grindel is currently under a lot of pressure from Hwaikatsu, so I thought Nelf would be looked at unkindly. The attitude of the head of the family is cruel.
The mother, who was intangible and intangible, did not show any particular reaction, and the temperamental woman and the temperamental man seemed to be displeased with Nelf.
“You just made the guests who had been visiting for a long time stand still. Dofute. We will resume the ordeal at a later date.”
The young boy was startled for a moment by those words, but then stood up, bowed, and spoke in a dignified voice.
“Yes, matriarch.”
The matriarch no longer paid attention to the child.
Muhyeong stared at the boy, then looked at the head of the family and said.
“What? You just had another child? You guys are such a happy couple.”
Tteokdae got angry at the sarcastic voice.
“You bastard. Be careful what you say to the head of the family.”
“What are we going to do?”
Intangible wiped the smile from her face and looked straight.
“Are you serious?”
While no one, including Tteokdae, could open their mouths, the head of the family walked away as if she was not interested.
“I’ll see you at the restaurant, miss. I’ll do my best to serve you.”
The rest of the immediate family followed the head of the family and disappeared.
She was wondering what to do with the injured boy, but when the angry man flicked her hand, the boy called Dofu Terra came to her mind.
The child and I made eye contact.
Child.
Looking at it, it resembles about 20% of the intangible, but that’s right.
That kid. The gaze of the guy called Dohuter turned to the incorporeal figure for a brief moment.
Intangible did not look at the child.
On purpose.
Soon, wizards belonging to the Grindel family came down and guided us to the room.
I didn’t have any expectations about the accommodation because I thought guests wouldn’t come often to such a remote area, but surprisingly, it had good facilities for a famous hotel.
There’s even something similar to a hot spring.
Is it a hot spring while looking at the snow field…!! Joe, that’s good…!!
“This place hasn’t changed. I’ve been here often, but it’s always a great place.”
Judging from Nelf’s remarks, it seems that this is a building built to entertain Waikatsu. If Faikatsu is your opponent, it makes sense.
“Nelf. Can you feel anything around here?”
“Yes…”
Nelf made an innocent face.
The reason she was included in her selection investigation team was because it was related to her home family, Faikatsu, but she also had expectations that she, with Faikatsu’s Ryunar, would be able to detect the presence of people from her home family. .
What. It was just a little bit of anticipation.
I waved my hand and smiled.
“It’s okay. They say you’ll be full after the first drink.”
“Ah. According to our proverb, the dragon dies at the first sword. It was the same thing, right?”
Nelf was interested in a proverb from my original world.
Will the dragon die with the first sword? I too am starting to become interested in the proverb here.
I nodded and asked about the scene I saw earlier.
“Anyway. What was that? Why did you throw a child to the monsters?”
At my question, Nelf erased her interest and looked at her intangible figure with an uneasy look on her face.
“That’s right. What on earth is that? Intangible brother?”
“…”
Muhyeong, who was sitting on a chair, crossed his legs and tapped his feet without answering.
“He possessed an incredible level of magic at such a young age, but what was he doing against such monsters? Isn’t that suicidal?”
I feel the same way.
Behind that monster wave, there were powerful monsters that could tear even the barrier like a piece of paper.
The matriarch called it an ordeal and said this again.
Hachii. Did you interfere with the ordeal again? Called.
Again means that crazy thing happened often.
There was also a brief mention of the incorporeal ordeal in the carriage.
I glanced at the intangible and the guy opened his mouth.
“It’s literally an ordeal. You have to meet certain conditions there to be officially recognized as a direct descendant and a strong candidate for head of the family.”
Nelf made a face that said nothing.
“You decided to kill people. There are also conditions for dealing with that number of monsters?”
Nelf sighed and continued with his question.
“What are the conditions?”
“What do you think it is?” “…If I had to guess, it was structured so that stronger monsters appeared the further back you went. That’s a kind of time limit… Also, Grindel mainly uses wide-area magic…”
Nelf, whose last words were almost like a mutter, spoke in a loud voice.
“By any chance, eliminating a certain number of monsters at once with a single spell within a time limit. Is that the condition?”
Only then did the intangible turn its head.
“You’ve always been smart.”
It was correct.
The condition for passing the ordeal is to kill a certain number of monsters at once with a single spell within the time limit.
“How many do I need to get rid of at once?”
In response to Nelf’s question, Muhyeong calmly raised both his hands and spread his fingers.
“Ten?”
“A hundred horses.”
“…It’s crazy.”
Nelf made a face of genuine disgust.
I also agree.
Because Kaitz and Uri are powerful at a human level, it is difficult to kill 10 of them with general wide-area magic or skills.
But there are 100 of them.
Moreover, the monsters that appeared in the trials were of a very high level.
There seemed to be a lot of people with skills, etc.
“Already area magic is often classified as high-level magic and requires a very high level of concentration. There are not many magicians who can maintain their composure when monsters are coming from all directions, and besides, for a child like that…”
“As difficult as it is, the person who passes the test is definitely talented.”
The intangible spoke as it stood up and Nelf frowned at his eyes.
“Brother. Aren’t you worried? That kid was your brother’s…”
“I don’t even consider them my parents.”
Muhyeong stopped talking and his eyes were sharp.
“So you don’t have a younger brother.”
“…”
Nelf opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, and the door opened at just the right moment.
“The meal is ready, miss.”
It was an awkward atmosphere, but it ended up going well.
“Let’s eat first.”
We followed the wizards to the restaurant.
…I’ve been feeling it for a while now, these wizards. He is polite to Nelf, but treats him like a person with no intangibles.
Ignore half of it.
Half fear.
…It’s a family I don’t like. Thing.
Tingling.
“…”
I felt that feeling again.
“Hey. It’s hot, so I’m going to go outside for a little while.”
“Sure.”
The wizard frowned at the intangible answer and tried to say something to me, but I shushed him!! The highway moved and I came out.
And then I ran towards the warehouse I saw earlier.
I quickly reached the front of the warehouse, and I was thrilled again as if I had guessed the answer! I felt a strange sensation.
“Hmm…”
On the outside, it looks like an ordinary warehouse…
That time when I was stroking my chin and thinking.
Bvbbbb.
“…”
I heard a strange sound.
What?
…Flapping wings?
I reached out to the doorknob and applied force, but the door did not budge.
Is it fun?
Coo coo coo coo. This time, I spilled some lunar into my hand…
Sudden!!
I looked back.
“Hey~ I have a good feeling~”
A decadent-looking woman with her hair tied on both sides. The angry woman was looking at me with her signature disdainful smile.
“Oh, excuse me. I thought I heard a strange noise from here.”
“Huh. A hero’s friend doesn’t ignore even the smallest things.”
For a moment. What?
Who is whose friend?
“Hmm~ Mr. Dre.”
“Yes?”
What.
Why are you coming?
I backed away when she came closer, but ended up being cornered by the door, and she stretched out her hand and stomped! I hit a wall.
Oh my! It’s powerful!
She said to me who was confused.
“Why don’t we mate?”
