Eros Paradise 389

Chapter 389 – 389. The Sage’s First Grand Order (13)

– One –

Dalgrak, moongrak.
Widely.

“…”

Seven men and women sit around a table and chairs made of wood and continue their meal quietly using wooden utensils and teacups.

Of course, even the forks, knives, and spoons were all made of wood.

As can be seen from their materials and the sophistication that transcends common sense, they were all created by Monohorn.

It was only limited to plants, and it was safe to say that Monohorn’s superpowers had already reached the realm of creation and destruction.

“So, Monohorn. What happened while we passed out? What on earth is Estrus so worried about?”

Squeak.
Widely.

Demosi asks, putting the fork and knife down on the tableware.

As if Octopoda was equally curious about it, his gaze naturally turned to Monohorn and Estrus.

The question was answered by Monohorn,

“Ooh, ooh…”

“Ugh~”

Ada and Estrus were restless,

“Huh…”

Again and again
Drip drip.

Urmama started to weep.

Bennison didn’t seem to have the exact context yet, judging from the fact that he just rolled his eyes and surveyed the atmosphere.

It must have been because she was overly preoccupied with pouring out the passion inside her, while she was trying to soothe Estrus’ heat all night.

“… Did something really happen…?”

“What’s going on, Monohorn? Please don’t hide it and tell me.”

Before the two people’s expressions were stained with self-blame and shame,

“Well, it’s really no big deal. So,”

Monohorn calmly states what happened the day before.

As they listen to the story, the Octopoda couple’s eyes begin to tremble relentlessly.

As soon as the story of Monohorn is over,

“Did you say that wasn’t a big deal, Monohorn?”

“… I don’t know what the motive is to make us take things too lightly, Monohorn.”

With stern expressions on their faces, the couple began scolding Monohorn.

After learning why Ada and Estrus were restless and why Urmama was crying, it was because she thought Monohorn’s complacency had caused trouble this time as well.

“Hey, brother, sister.”

Then, Mono Horn holds out her palms, motioning them to calm down.

“Yes.”

“Is there anything else to say, yet?”

They look at Monohorn with sullen faces.

The two were in the mood to nag Monohorn for a long time, but they did not stop Monohorn from speaking.

“Actually, my older brother and my sister may have been caught in the tracking technique as well.”

“Huh, huh up…!”

“That, like that…”

As if they hadn’t even thought of that, the two’s expressions turned pale.

It was an unconfirmed fact, but the mere possibility that they might have been targeted terrified them.

“And I only judged that what I was hit with was most likely a tracking technique, and even that is mere speculation. None of us are experts in magic or witchcraft, so we can’t find out for ourselves. There is no means of diagnosing the condition.”

“Is that so…”

“Uh, uh…”

Suddenly, the Octopodas start to feel intimidated.

I couldn’t even rebuke Monohorn for its complacency.

No, that’s the wrong thing to do

He clearly understands the situation he is in and is considering alternatives extremely rationally.

When they tried to waste time arguing about the past, Monohorn was already preparing for the future.

I was ashamed.

How they tried to easily rebuke him, and how they acted in fear.

“If I had Margarita, I would have liked to have her read a little bit of the past without complicating things, but I can’t do that now, so I guess we’ll have to work it out ourselves.”

“Why don’t you rather visit a mage or shaman, or kidnap a high-ranking mage or shaman from the enemy camp one by one?”

After hearing Demoshi’s opinion, Monohorn shook his head.

As if he hadn’t thought of it, Monohorn rejected her offer almost immediately.

“Looking for someone is unconditionally disadvantageous because it means giving up the advantage of the terrain. Besides, if what I’m caught on, and what my brother or sister might be caught on, is really a tracking technique, then Regal won’t be able to see clearly where I’m going.”

“Ah…”

“And most of the places outside the Wilderness are well within the Regal’s influence, so if they’re determined and try to sabotage us, let alone succeed in uncovering or disarming the sorcery, they could be far more dangerous than they are here.”

“So… That’s likely to be the case…”

“Lastly, I don’t think it makes much sense to kidnap a wizard or shaman from the enemy camp. You know very well that their loyalty is the product of extremely unnatural emotions created by brainwashing. In the current situation, information They might even try to kill themselves before torturing them to get them.”

“Yes…”

Gearko Demosi lowers her head and makes her blush.

Rather than the fact that she had been completely refuted, it seemed that she was unbearably ashamed that she had been of no use to Mono Horn.

“I’d rather wait safely until Margarita and Jose return…”

Octopoda blurts his tongue as he proposes an opinion.

It was because he realized that if the tracking technique was applied in the first place, hiding somewhere could not guarantee safety.

Monohorn looks at him and smiles.

“Forget what I just said. Is there a realistic alternative, Monohorn? Do you have any proper means to discern whether it’s a tracking spell or a curse?”

“Yes. Simply the three of us,”

Swoop.
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck.

Monohorn’s fingers point sequentially at himself, Octopoda, and Demosh.

“We’ll just have to keep our distance and take our positions in different places, and see how the enemies come out. Sister Demosi is paired with Brother Benison, and Brother Octopoda with Estrus, each here and here,”

Shudder.
Tok, tok.

Mono Horn points his fingertips at two points on the map.

A map of the unexplored land appeared on the top of the table, but before I knew it, my colleagues were naturally accepting it.

“Wait at these two points. I’m here with Ada and Maman.”

Took.

Monohorn points to another point.

When the three points were connected, it was the shape of an isosceles triangle stretching left and right, with the Octopoda couple sitting at the lower vertices on both sides.

Naturally, Monohorn, Ada, and Urmama take their places at the top vertex.

“I’ll wait around here. If you do this, we’re all within range of Estrus and Benison-san, but we’ve got enough distance, right?”

“I see. Waiting at a distance from each other like this, then we just have to see where the enemies are coming from?”

“Yes.”

Monohorn nodded, making eye contact with everyone.

It was a simple idea and a simple solution, but by showing an unshakable appearance with a confident tone, it makes everyone feel at ease.

“And if it’s something like a curse, I’ll be the most dangerous because I’m directly hit, so sticking next to Ada will be a little safer. And if Octopoda-sama or Demosh-sister starts to develop symptoms, Estrus or Benison-san You can come running right away.”

“Okay~! I’ll be looking closely!”

“Benison will work hard too!”

The Honeywet couple answered with a strong voice.

It is an undeniable fact that they suppress their anxiety and try to pretend to be cheerful.

“If you stay as it is for a few days, if you’re sure it’s not a curse or something like that, if it’s nothing more than a tracking technique, and if I’m the only one caught by it…”

Monohorn fell asleep and stopped talking, making eye contact with everyone one by one.

A subtle uneasiness begins to creep in everyone’s eyes.

“I’ll be away for a while then.”

As soon as Mono Horn finished her words,

“No, that’s nonsense!”

“It’s not possible!”

“No, I do not want!”

A backlash began to erupt.

Monohorn had to sweat for a long time to appease them.

– 2 –

Stras-Ayla’s bridge in the late afternoon.

An old man who seemed to be a sorcerer was having a private meeting with Regal.

“Did it get hooked properly?”

“That’s right, Your Majesty. However, it’s a pity that only one was caught, even though it was clear that there were multiple intruders.”

“Hmm… Since the test subjects noticed the joint chanting too quickly, there was no way to do anything there…

“According to Your Majesty’s words, I am very fortunate.”

Regal smiles in satisfaction.

As advised by the head butler, Regal carved a shamanistic mark before attempting to capture them.

Which,

“Is the detonation of the mark possible at any time?”

“It is so. However, in that case, the marked test subject will surely die, so please use it as a last resort.”

It also served as a specific curse function.

However, until the caster, Regal’s sorcerer, detonated the curse, it was just a sorcery that informed the target’s location.

“Um… That’s a bit unfortunate…”

Whoops, whoops.

Regal strokes his chin.

Whoever it is, each and every one of the test subjects nestled in the northern wilderness is excellent.

Even if you look at all the available combatants in the unit of people with special abilities that you have trained yourself, you are sure that no one is more powerful and superior than those wild test subjects.

Even if the available combatants of the unit with special abilities lifted the limit all at once and rushed towards those wild test subjects, I am sure that there is a high possibility that this side will be annihilated.

Therefore, Regal

Lick.

“Hmm…”

Even if it was only one, I wanted to capture that wild experiment.

His greed ran rampant.

Just for that, to make up for the loss caused by Absinthe’s death, Regal was even planning to replace all of its numerous privates in the North.

‘I think it would be perfect if they were the ones who deal with plants…’

Regal licks his lips.

His eyes are shining

He burns with desire.

Uneasiness and fear set in the old shaman’s face because he had never seen such a maddened Regal for the first time.

Again.

Regal’s eyeballs turn toward the shaman.

Flinch.

The shaman’s body stiffened.

It was like a frog facing a snake.

Facing the desire emanating from the shaman’s body, that is, the earnest desire to escape from this place,

Food.

“Um, sorry. I’ve been thinking about it for a while.”

Regal lets out a silly laugh.

“No, Your Majesty. How could Your Majesty say such a thing to an insignificant believer…”

Swoop.

The shaman lowers his head.

He was extremely terrified.

He was afraid of being purged by the Regal for seeing something he had to pretend he didn’t see.

As Regal peers into those hearts in detail, he feels the satisfaction of having a small psychological edge.

It comes back as a sense of superiority over the opponent, and layers are piled up in the individual history of Regal.

The human being called Regal is being completed as an existence like a sedimentary layer of superiority.

“By the way. There’s something I want to ask you.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Ask me anything.”

“Can’t you trigger a part of the curse you put on the test subject, so that it only gives you pain so that you don’t die?”

“That, that’s…”

– 3 –

“Honey!”

To Margarita’s screams,

Jump!
Srureuk, Chaeng!

José pulled out the longsword he had left beside his bed and said,

Shashak!
Poof!
Tup!

“…”

He holds Margarita in her arms and stares at her in all directions.

With all the muscles in her body tensed in her naked body, she exuded a force that would cut anyone who approached into dozens of pieces.

“Honey…”

Squeak.
Water.

Margarita comes naked to José’s chest.

Then, Jose

Squeak.
Visor.

Putting her longsword down on the floor, she relaxed her expression.

Relax her muscles and carefully turn her body.

“Did you have a nightmare, my love?”

Woo woo woo.
Pat, pat, pat.

He hugs Margarita and soothes her.

Only then, when he notices that her face has become excessively pale, Jose senses that something serious has happened.

“Ooh, ooh…”

“What’s going on? Did something big happen?”

“Huh, huh…”

Margarita weeps quietly.

Jose waited in silence for a long time.

May she calm down, may she open her mouth.

“Ooh, our monohorn…”

When Monohorn’s name came out of her mouth, Jose’s face hardened.

“… What happened to your brother?”

“Huh, Mo, I feel sorry for Monohorn… I feel sorry for him, what should I do…”

Margarita tells José about the monohorn situation in a voice mixed with tears.

Since he is far away, when he finally reads his situation and informs Jose, Jose’s face also turns pale.

“…Is it impossible to cast a mark and a curse on your sister’s body?”

“I-I don’t know… I need to read the past of the shamans under Regal, but that’s not yet…”

To be honest, it was unreasonable for her to read the past of Regal and his shamans.

They were at the northern end, and the Cuelvos were at the southern end.

Due to the restrictions of distance, it was only belatedly to learn about the events that happened in the past.

Of course, being able to read such a situation from a distance in the absence of communication facilities or ultra-long-distance communication tools was miraculous.

But that didn’t mean she didn’t feel helpless.

This is because she can only know the events that happened, and she has no way or ability to solve the problems Monohorn faces.

“If I could, I’d like to take the shaman with me when I go home, but…”

“If that’s the case… It’ll take too much time to go back. Besides, you have to be a high shaman to even dare to try Haeju, but what’s wrong with a shaman like that…”

“That’s why… Honey… How can I help Monohorn…?”

“Um…”

Jose gets into trouble.

‘Tennessee brothers? Or the Freedom League? Unless they…’

She recalls the mercenary troupe she was involved in, Maru Narae.

However, it is a group composed only of warriors.

Since they wander all over the continent after accepting a request, there are people who are knowledgeable among them, but none are good at magic.

Even that information is nothing more than a gift.

‘Not even there. Umm… I have no choice but to pray that Ada can help me, or that I can provide at least some defense…’

Jose’s face collapses.

Tup.
Swoop, Swoop.
Chop, Chop!

Rub his face roughly

Take heart

It is not yet time to break down.

“My love.”

“Yes, honey…”

“Isn’t your brother frustrated or in pain?”

“There was no sign of that.”

Hearing Margarita’s answer, Jose nodded his head with a stiff face.

“Your brother has already prepared a countermeasure for it, or you don’t know about it now, or the situation is one of the two.”

“Ah…”

“So, solve the task given to us as quickly as possible, and return to my sister without resting. Depending on the measures my sister has made, whether to give strength or inform her of the current situation, I think it’s important for us to return quickly.”

“Yes, got it.”

Jose did not mention the worst situation, that he might have to see Monohon on the way in time.

It is because the fear that, after speaking about it, it might turn out to be the truth was nestled deep in the heart.

An anxious and anxious late autumn night passes by.
