Chapter 106 – Slowly, but a Little Suddenly (5)
Out of the store, Theo Rad raised his hand to check the position of the brooch and raised his sights.
The whole view of the square comes into the light brown pupil. On the street in front of a large fountain that symbolizes the prosperity of the Earl of Pelgaroin, a stone structure reminiscent of a triumphal arch stood proudly. The fact that part of the pillar is made of pure magic stone makes me admire every time I see it.
This stone structure, said to have been completed before the University Mage Tower was even established in the empire, had various names, but recently it has been commonly used as a ‘warp gate’.
The name was given because, no matter how far away, it was possible to move in an instant to any space with a similarly structured warp gate installed. For reference, if you use a magic circle with set coordinates, you can also use it as a form of return.
Of course, I don’t use it often. Because the materials needed to drive the magic circle or gate are quite expensive.
Incidentally, since the warp gate itself is a high-class building that can only be built by investing an astronomical amount of money, it is difficult to find it except for the customs office of the islands, the frontier adjacent to the Devil’s Land, or the plaza of the county of Pelgarin. Was
In short, the existence of a warp gate in the territory itself is a display of wealth and the same as revealing the status of the family.
Just when the Pelgarin family was feeling great, the elf, having finished shopping, opened the store door and walked out.
He was wearing a choker with a cat’s paw-shaped ornament around his neck. Theo Rad, puzzled by that, raised his hand and pointed at the choker.
“Didn’t you say that it was inconvenient?”
The elf didn’t answer. It was just staring straight ahead without any reaction. The elf’s ears were burning red unlike usual, but unfortunately Theorard didn’t notice it.
‘…… What are you looking at?’
Theorad, who had been still for a while, followed the elf’s gaze, but there was nothing special. Only street vendors selling waffles for children and lovers come into sight.
‘Do you want to eat waffles?’
There is a point. It seemed like they liked sweet food when I saw them eating sweets and eating candy without difficulty in the wagon. Besides, in the past, he didn’t get angry because he stole the pudding.
‘There’s nothing I can’t buy you, like waffles. But it’s strange. I should just ask him to buy it.’
Looking at the usual elf behavior, it’s incomprehensible shyness. Could this be part of acting? The moment Theorard was seriously thinking, the elf caught his breath and looked up at Theorad.
“Master. Are you really okay?”
“Yes? I am OK. There’s nothing I can’t buy you, like waffles.”
“Yes? Waffle……?”
What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden? The elf, who blinked blankly, sighed and continued.
“It’s not a waffle. This choker, made of Al Qaera cloth, is quite expensive. The bill will go to the Deharm Mansion soon, and he is asking if you are confident that you will not regret buying a slave.”
“What else do I say? Don’t worry about money. Since the goods received from the imperial family are considerable, it is okay to overspend for the time being.”
“Aren’t you thinking of collecting them?”
Since when did you worry about your family? Conversely, it was absurd to hear such a statement from an elf who had almost ruined the family’s prestige.
What’s the point of being angry? Theorard replied with a smirk.
“Even before I received money from the imperial family, I had accumulated enough money to run the family for the next five years. In that situation, an unwanted amount of money came in, so wouldn’t it be normal to give back to society?”
“It’s a return.”
“Okay. You don’t know, but I’ve already donated about half of the money I received to the needy. It was a lot of money, so the chamberlain did some hard work for me.”
“It makes no sense. With that money, I could have made my family a little more prosperous.”
“It is not wrong. The prosperity of the Hana family is my happiness. On the other side…….”
Theorard’s eyes stare into the distance in the plaza. A boy dressed in a patchwork jacket is seen holding his sister’s hand his and heading towards the jewelry store. In her grime-stained hands her, she was holding an expensive accessory that the chief chamberlain had given out the other day.
“…… Giving can make everyone happy. If I am greedy, it is only a happiness, but if I give up greed, the happiness of heat is born.”
However, this did not mean distributing goods randomly. In order to promote the continuous development of the family, goods that were not lacking were loaded, and goods that the family could not afford were generously donated to the less fortunate.
That is half of the money received. However, the elf still couldn’t understand. To be precise, I couldn’t tolerate Theorad who was genuinely happy to help others.
‘You weren’t like this…….’
The elves that the elves know, the distant past, was not such a good person. It was a fleeting meeting, but at that time, Theorard was clearly a villain somewhere out of place.
So he made a promise. Because I thought it was something I had no choice but to win. Because he decided that by then he would be able to shake off all guilt and erase humans and demons from the world.
‘But why, you keep…….’
Memories that I thought were certain didn’t fit together like a broken mirror as the days went by.
From the rain magic to the current donation. Did Theorard, who was only five years old, really mean it?
Theorad of the young days is definitely…….
‘He was a good kid.’
In the confused mind, all things are twisted. He began to raise his head in suspicion that what he firmly believed to be the truth might in fact be a lie.
‘What if…….’
A large hand suddenly came into the elf’s field of vision as he was repeating the words he shouldn’t have contained. When I looked up, Theorard was smiling kindly.
“Catch it. While you’re out at the plaza, let’s go get some waffles.”
“…… You don’t even have to hold hands. I am not a child.”
“Ah, that’s right. I didn’t mean to be treated like a child. I apologize.”
The moment Theo Rad spoke shyly and was about to withdraw his hand his, the elf grabbed Theo Rad’s hand and grabbed it. Power goes into the tightly held hands.
“Only today…….”
Who is talking to whom Theorard smiled lightly and nodded his head. Although it was only a day of peace, the elf’s attitude was not bad.

Meanwhile, the castle of Count Pelgarin.
“…….”
In her room her, Esily sat at the desk by the window and calmly wrote the letter. As he changed his handwriting and wrote letters, Shili’s eyes were filled with a clear desire for improvement.
“Five! My lovely lark!
I understand well what you said about lions being the most feared of all animals.
Don’t worry either! I tipped off the lion and he said that larks do not count as prey.
They say it’s annoying to catch and there’s no reason to fight against it at the risk of bloodshed, what?
On the contrary, he even expressed his favor by saying that he would like the lark to clean his teeth. Come on, I’m not a crocodile, and it’s not even funny to build a symbiotic relationship.
So don’t worry too much. If you’re worried that another lion will appear in your dream, don’t mind sending me a letter.
I will personally deliver the lion’s words to my lovely lark.”
After completing her correspondence, Seeley put down her pen her. She changed her handwriting and changed her content into a love letter, so even if someone intercepted her in the middle, her intentions her would not be known.
She is like a smokescreen in preparation for her unforeseen danger to her. She needed to be careful, as contacting the rebels and agreeing with Princess Benelia’s plan was an obvious act of treason.
‘My older brother Fred would understand what I’m trying to say.’
In fact, it was something that the officials in the room could not have known. After checking her correspondence her once more, I rolled up her paper and stood up from her seat her. She went straight to her cage and pulled out her copybook that was stuck inside her and tied her letter to her ankle her.
Afterwards she walked to the window and then she tossed the loot up. Paddeuk – The Jeon Seo-gu, who has found freedom of wings, flies far away on the wind.
She stars at it for a while, and then a sudden gust of wind blows up her witch hat.
“Oh…… !”
Surprised, Silly stepped back from her, and the witch, who appeared by raising her altitude her, smiled mischievously. The witch riding on her broomstick was Dre Meth, the president of an adult goods store and the head of a poison union.
“Mrs. Why are you making such a worried face?”
“Dremes? Why is this…….”
“Why? Countess Pelgarin’s family has a customer who accounts for a large portion of our store’s sales.”
You mean Maldon. Ashley let out a deep sigh.
“When will Brother Maldon come to his senses? Not noble at all…….”
Shili hurriedly changed her words.
“I didn’t mean to disparage adult stores. So, that’s…….”
“Done. Because there is nothing wrong with what you said. Does it make sense for a son of a prestigious aristocratic family to have sex with slaves every single day?”
Dremeth stuck out his tongue at Maldon’s memory of her face her.
“Looking at the things I buy, it seems like they are all screwed into the holes of slaves. I like it because I buy a lot of things, but my perverted nature deserves criticism. When she visits the room once, she sees the faint juice from the hole of the fainting slave…….”
Dre Meth stopped talking and shut his mouth. Because she had her face her flushed red with Esily clutching the hem of her skirt her.
‘I’m afraid someone isn’t the supreme lady…….’
It made me laugh out loud to see her so embarrassed about even the slightest obscenity. In a way, the inside is white enough to be said to be one drink higher than Theorad.
‘It’s a true match made in heaven.’
With a small chuckle, Dremeth turned the backpack on his back and pulled out two books. Although she had talked a little bit earlier, her real purpose in finding Esily was in sales.
“Stop being shy. Now, look at this.”
A question mark appears on Seely’s face as she quietly raises her head.
“What is it?”
“It’s a location note. To put it simply, you can think of it as a two-way communicator.”
As for the location note, Esily knew it well. This is a special book published by the Witches’ Association. By infusing magic into the pages of the book, you can connect to the many-to-one communication system built by witches and talk to each other.
For reference, all users are displayed as anonymous, so you don’t have to worry about your identity being discovered.
It was a little less functional than the crystal ball used in the Mage Tower and the Imperial Family, which enabled video communication, but even this much was good enough.
However, the location note is not a proprietary product. There was a system in place so that only those who were recognized by the Witch Association could use it. It is said that books that are not approved by the association are illegal.
By the way, Dremeth, who has a bad relationship with the association, brought a location note? As Esily looked at her with a puzzled expression, Dremeth shrugged her shoulders.
“I stole it when I stopped by the turbulence of weaving. They have a lot in stock, so you probably don’t know about one or two?”
“…… Is that a crime?”
“It’s Sam Sam. Because those children first treated me as an asshole. So will you live or not? If I had this, I’d be able to keep in touch with Theorad even if I’m far away.”
“But that’s illegal-“
“Don’t like it.”
As the Dremeth put her book down and pretended to fly away, Essily sprinted up and grabbed her Dremeth by the hem of her skirt. It was an act that didn’t feel the slightest bit of dignity, but there was no other choice.
Essili’s blue eyes sway as she gazes at Dremeth while holding on to her window.
“Everything, keep it a secret from others…….”
Amidst her heavy breathing her, Essilie’s face her flushed with embarrassment.
“Because I will live…….”
