Chapter 1372 – Baekgye
I told him not to have anything to do with Yohoshin for a while, so I told him not to meet Claire’s family. Also, I was curious about Waikatsu, so I think he sent me here because he was ignoring me.
Unlike gods, Shinsoo does not appear in its original location, but in a completely different place. It is also possible to let go.
“It doesn’t seem like you came through the warp gate or Principal Renea’s magic. What route did you take to get here?”
“Warp gate?”
“Yes. The headmaster has installed a warp gate connected to the academy.”
“Oh…”
The original warp gate is a magic tool that costs a lot of money.
Even so, there is a distance limit, so you can usually only travel the distance between regions, but Faikatsu is very, very far away from Cerce.
Ms. Lenea’s form chews away all realistic problems. It’s crazy.
That’s it. The White Demon Lord had a suspicious look on his face.
For some reason, I didn’t think I should tell this man about Shinsoo, so I just told him about it.
“It just so happened that I was like that. I’m a stranger, right?”
“Uhm…”
To some extent, no, about strangers and the secrets of this world. Baek Ma-ju, who seemed to know deeply, nodded her head as if she was convinced by those words.
Now it’s my turn to ask a question.
I asked L, who was staring at me from a distance that would fit about one person next to me.
“Why is El here?”
“Ah. That’s…”
“Uh, uhuh, uh, should I just say I wanted to come?!?! Hehe.”
Unlike Baekmaju, who tried to answer something, L tried to explain it with an embarrassed expression.
I asked Baekmaju with a glance, and he continued speaking.
“I desperately searched for traces of Waikatsu for nearly two weeks.”
But nothing was found.
So, feeling like I was grasping at straws, I decided to try an experiment.
“Experiment?”
“It was a complacent thought that the power of the same teenage family might have some effect.”
I think it was a pretty good experiment, but Baek Ma-ju seemed genuinely embarrassed.
Wizards are people who are the pinnacle of science in the fantasy world, so do you think they thought the same way as Moon?
I apologize to the liberal arts department.
Anyway.
“So you brought El from Greize?”
“To be exact, she volunteered that she wanted to be of help to Master Dre.”
Resource?
When I looked at El, she looked away again as if she was embarrassed.
“She volunteered for the uncertain experiment, saying that Master Dre probably had a lot of work to do, but she wanted to ease the burden even a little.”
I felt something off about Baekmaju’s words, but I didn’t say it now.
Now is the time to say hello to El.
You have to say thank you properly.
That way, the person you help will be happy and want to help you again.
“Thank you, El.”
“Oh, no. Hehe.”
Elle wiggles her fingers, looking really happy. If she keeps an expressionless face, she is too pretty to talk to, but her shy face is artistically cute.
I’m around. I asked as I looked around Faikatsu’s mansion.
“What were the results?”
“There hasn’t been any results yet. Nelf and Elysia. I’ve only tested it with the two of you, so I’m thinking of inviting others as well.”
“Has Nelf been here too?”
“Yes. I asked permission from the principal and myself.”
I thought for a moment and said.
“Could you please call me Nelf again?”
Baekmaju caught my eye at my words.
“By any chance, can you guess something?”
“Yes. I also have something I want to experiment with.”
“Okay, I’ll contact you right away.”
Baekmaju immediately requested support from Frunar Academy.
Frunar Academy is in full swing.
It will take about an hour since I have to contact Nelf during the break and get his permission.
In the meantime, I decided to look around the mansion.
Maybe I can find something on my own.
But near this mansion. There are so many people.
It also feels like a very strong mana.
“Are you here with the wizards?”
“Yes, that’s right. The magicians under my command from the White Tower, the magicians of at least Pleon rank drawn from each magic tower, the priests and paladins from the Holy Kingdom, and lastly, the knights from the Kingdom of Voltin near Waikatsu.”
Why are there so many…?
Looking at him with bewildered eyes, Baek Maju smiled bitterly.
“This is not a force for simple investigation.”
“I guess so.”
When I thought about it carefully, I understood why there were so many people and why there were people like the Kingdom Army who at first glance had no idea why they were here.
Heart. Blizzard. Grize. And it is said that the teenage families, excluding Brave, are scattered and sealing off the dangerous area.
Just as Void was sealing the magic stone forest where Rope-chan lived, Winte was sealing the forest of darkness, and Hest was sealing the land of odor. There is a danger zone that Faikatsu has also sealed.
Since the entire Waikatsu disappeared in one night, shouldn’t someone have to block the dangerous area instead?
At that time, Baekmaju lamented.
“In just the past two weeks, I have truly felt the hard work of the teenage family, descendants of heroes.”
“It must have been very difficult.”
I comforted him verbally about his troubles and asked.
“What is the dangerous area that Waikatsu is sealing off?”
“Oh! I know! Me!”
El came closer to me.
A very nice scent emanates from her in her school uniform, and the sunlight shining from her window makes her blonde hair even more dazzling as she stands in the dark room.
For a moment, you will be amazed by the fleeting beauty.
Trying not to show my admiration, I asked L what she was looking at.
“It’s not a dangerous area. It’s a species!”
“Tribe…?”
“Did you say it was the Ma Bing tribe? The White Night tribe? Was it something like this? They say it was a race that fell under the true Demon King a long time ago!”
It’s not a region, it’s a race. Okay. It could be so.
I walked around Waikatsu, listening to El explain various things.
The place where Waikatsu lives is a castle that looks like something out of a fairy tale book, with an overall white interior that stands out.
Many parts of the castle are made of ice-like crystal, making it very dreamy.
The entire castle is dark now. Wouldn’t it be much prettier than usual because it shines so brightly?
I walked around the castle, climbed on top of the castle wall, and said hello to the people watching from afar, as well as the wizards and knights who were shocked when they recognized me.
Among them were the holy knights of the cult of fanaticism. When they found me, they grabbed me and praised me so much that I listened to them for 30 minutes out of disgust.
Gwangsingyo was sad to see him leave, so I waved him off and cried.
Hehe. People. Really. To overdo it.
[Drehem… I will praise you a lot in the future…]
[Kid. It’s a bit harsh to admit it.]
Shut up.
People originally grow with praise and recognition.
After about 30 minutes, Nelf appeared.
There were beads of sweat on his cheeks, as if he had rushed over.
“Hello, instructor! Huh. “Huh.”
After waiting for her to catch her breath, she resumed the conversation.
Nelf asked.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Nelf. Do you know ‘white world’?’
Nelf shook his head.
“No. This is my first time hearing it.”
Nelf’s big eyes were filled with his expectations.
My status as an outsider helps because I listen to it seriously and don’t just take it as nonsense.
After reading the book, I realized that if there is any absurdity in Elunar’s proverbs, ask a stranger. Or, ask the stranger you asked yesterday again today. The answer varies. There is a proverb that says:
Strangers are disliked, but at the same time, they are recognized as cheats.
“According to a reliable source, Faikatsu, you are in that white egg place.”
“Hoo. Baekgyera.”
The white horse next to me showed great interest in what I was saying, but I ignored it for now.
Now I have to check if my guess is correct.
“First of all, Nelf. Would you like to try using Faikatsu’s Ryunar?”
Since she hates Faikatsu’s power, I thought her expression would be a little grim, but Nelf calmly raised her power.
Faaaaa
A bright mist-like white lunar enveloped Nelf’s entire body.
According to what White Demon Lord said earlier, he used Faikatsu’s Ryunar in various places in the Faikatsu mansion and checked to see if there were any unusual reactions.
Maybe. Ryunar alone is meaningless.
Aunt Grindel said that the moment she took out the tales to show off her power to Faikatsu, they disappeared, and the Turtle God also spoke with a similar nuance.
In other words. The conditions are Faikatsu Ryunar and divine power. It means two forces at the same time.
I woke up Ryunar.
Both Ryunar and divine power are the same in that they are all-purpose powers that can change into anything, but there is a difference.
While Ryunar is a naturally wandering power, divine power is a strong assertiveness.
If I were to express my feelings, Ryunar is the basis of this world. It’s default. The feeling that spiritual power is a personal property.
I transformed Ryunar into divine power and held out my hand to Nelf.
Uh? I said to Nelf, who was looking at my outstretched hand with an expression on his face.
“Can you hold me?”
“Ahh…!”
Elle next to me slightly raised her voice with an envious look on her face.
And Nelf… Was staring down at my hand expressionlessly.
Why, why…?
My hand. Does it look dirty…?
[The rumor about Drehem is so bad that it seems bad to normal women… Ah. I just decided to raise him with praise.]
Shut up. You evil dragon.
Maybe it’s a physiological aversion.
“There. I thoroughly cleaned my palms. I also applied soap and got in between my fingers…”
“Oh, no! That’s not it…! I’m sorry Miss Meichi.”
Oh oh. This is a refreshing reaction.
Actually, this is a normal reaction, but why does it feel so fresh?
“This is work, so it’s not strange behavior. Then…”
Nelf took a deep breath and placed his hand on top of mine with a solemn look on his face.
No. It’s not something to be that nervous about.
This too is just a guess. There is a high probability of failure.
From the beginning, the members of Faikatsu said that they disappeared as soon as they felt the divine power. This means that there was no contact with Aunt Grindel.
Trying to hold hands is something you never know. This is because I thought that the moment I touched Ryunar’s divine power, I might move to a place called White Eggs like other Faikatsu people, and if I did, I might be able to go there with him by holding hands.
Sigh.
Nelf’s hand was placed on my palm.
Pure white, very cute hands.
The moment I held that hand, Nelf must have been tickled and said, “Hiya…!” He had a cute voice.
Chuaaaaa-!!
“Uh?”
“…?”
Nelf and I looked to the side at the same time.
There was a small hole in the air that looked like it could be used as a hole.
The scenery visible beyond the void… Was all white.
It’s a snowy field.
Whiooooo…
It even flows into the snow from beyond.
And a special point.
Inside… I can feel many presences.
They are not members of Waikatsu.
Because this is the presence of a monster.
Sigh-!
Without any time to do anything, the door closed again.
Silence.
We soon looked at each other and spoke urgently.
“Nelf. Let’s try one more time.”
“Yes, yes!!”
The white horse watching us contacted us somewhere.
“I’ll give you a white horse. Please tell everyone to gather right away.”
Nelf and I continued to hold hands while many people watched.
The hole, which grew bigger each time I grabbed it, soon became large enough for one person to fit in if they bent down, and it lasted for 20 minutes.
“Oh oh.”
“What kind of phenomenon is this…!”
The wizards showed interest and used magic to replenish Ryunar and mana to Nelf.
Thanks to this, I was able to focus on work for several hours without getting tired.
But. The hole does not get any wider than this and the duration does not increase any further.
The limit has been reached.
I thought about going in here with Nelf and investigating the surroundings a little, but there were too many uncertain risk factors.
Even if you can get in here, there is no guarantee that you can get out. No, there is a high possibility that you won’t be able to get out.
Because the people at Waikatsu haven’t come out yet.
The wizards expressed their opinions.
“How about increasing the output of the two Ryunars further?”
“They say this is the maximum output right now. And I think Dre’s output is so strong that it can’t go any higher than this?”
“Hmm. Then how about increasing the contact area…?”
Nelf’s face blushed at these words.
Increasing the contact area means doing something more advanced than holding hands.
It must be embarrassing for a girl in her prime.
“Nelf. Are you tired?”
I was called in suddenly and had to squeeze out Lunar for hours, and since I was holding hands with a man in front of people, it must have been mentally exhausting.
This is a sufficient achievement today.
There was nothing until now, but didn’t they learn about the existence of the White World and discover the supposed entrance to it?
The moment I was about to say, “It’s tomorrow, let’s just withdraw.” Nelf’s eyes were full of determination.
“Try it one last time.”
Then he spoke in an awkward voice.
“I will apologize to Ms. Meichi later… If it is okay with the instructor, the contact area…”
It seems so innocent that he can’t bear to continue speaking.
I am welcome.
After checking to see if I could smell anything, I opened my arms.
Nelf glanced around and made eye contact with El. Elle was making an envious face and then cleared her throat “Loudly.”
Seeing her, Nelf’s expression became much more relaxed, as if she had gained some courage.
[Perhaps it’s obvious that even people with fiancés do that, so if it’s something I do, it’s okay. Isn’t that how you feel?]
Be quiet, you idiot.
Don’t talk like L is bad!!
“Eh, eh…!”
Tup. Nelf fell into my arms.
You’re quite small in stature.
Most of my acquaintances have big breasts, so they rarely hug Slender’s body type, but I quite like it.
However…
“Nelf. Ljunar. Ljunar.”
“Ah, ah!”
Nelf, who had hugged me without even lifting Ryunar because he was embarrassed, belatedly helped Ryunar up with an embarrassed look on his face.
I also gained strength…
Giiiiing.
This time there was no sound of the portal opening.
However, we had moved to a different location.
“Uh?”
That’s when Nelf made a curious voice. I was looking to the side.
Something with a small, child-like body sitting on a chair.
She is wearing a robe, top and bottom, similar to what a wizard would wear, and her face is full of darkness.
In other words. Other than the two white lights that appear to be eyes, there is no face at all.
And so it was said.
“Hey… Finally, the people who came through the regular route have arrived.”
