Chapter 668 – 668. Fighting Pride (2)
The moment they tried to attack each other right away.
Erin and Gerard intervened between Siete and the nine-tailed fox.
“Master! No!”
“Miho! You must be patient!”
This is the Duchy of Armitas.
If something happens because of the commotion, of course the knights of the Armitas family will be dispatched.
If the matter escalates to that extent, of course it will go into Eleanor’s ears, but it is only natural that the duke’s family’s reputation will be undermined.
Erin, who had to stop that much, thought of a way to dry the poem in her head.
As soon as she had her flash of idea, she put it into her mouth.
“Master! If you make a fuss here, Hyun-i will get into trouble.”
“…”
At the persuasion of Erin, who whispered in a small voice, Siete hesitated to pull out the mistletoe and fight against the nine-tailed fox.
Currently, the lord of this territory is Eleanor, and her husband is Eunhyeon.
Erin’s persuasion that harming Eleanor meant that Eun-hyeon was in trouble was not without grounds at all.
Although she always flirts with Eun-hyeon, as much as she cares for him, her disciple, she wanted to refrain from acting that would get in the way of him.
Siete relaxed her grip on the mistletoe.
“Whew…”
Erin let out a sigh of relief as the threatening atmosphere eased.
“Go back.”
“Yes, yes!”
Siete turned her body around and exited the store.
“Yes, Gerard. Then we’re done…”
Erin hurriedly followed Siete, bowing her head slightly to Gerard to greet her.
“Haha. Yes. Miss Erin. See you later.”
“Joy.”
Erin left the store with Siete, leaving behind Gerard, who had a small wry smile and an expression of understanding, and the nine-tailed fox, who shyly turned her head away and turned away.
“Come on, Master.”
“What.”
“Is that elixir that good?”
“It’s good.”
Not only that elixir, but the elixirs currently filled with both hands of Erinn are also elixirs with similar effects.
“… Where are you going to use all these elixirs?”
“I was going to eat.”
“… Why?”
Erin showed a puzzled reaction.
Siete did not need an elixir.
Her true strength is not the overwhelming physical specs.
The greatest strength of Siete is the extreme of her exceptional talent and skill trained with her senses.
She grows the specs of her body while taking the elixir, so it’s not that she doesn’t see the effect at all, but the effect is so low that it’s not efficient.
“…”
However, Siete didn’t tell me why she bothered to gather her elixirs and raise her own body spec even a little bit.
-I’m asking for Hyun.
Illyana’s words to ask for Eunhyun in case of an emergency were a direct trigger.
Siete never said that.
Arriving at Siete’s house, Erin put the elixirs she was carrying on the table.
“All these… How would you like to eat it?”
Innumerable elixirs are different types of elixirs, and their efficacy is as diverse as the type, and the way they are taken is also very different.
It is the right way to eat by maximizing efficiency through precise methods and procedures rather than eating blindly.
It would already take a whole year just to take this many elixirs in their own way.
“There’s someone else who’s supposed to take care of the elixir, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Oh, I see.”
It was Illyana who decided to manufacture the elixirs Siete had purchased, but Erin, who did not know that, nodded his head without much concern.
“Go and see. I had a lot of trouble today.”
“… Omg!?”
When Siete suddenly praised her hard work, Erin reacted in disbelief with a fright.
In a sense, it is natural to be astonished that she, who has a personality as prickly as her nine-tailed fox, encourages him.
“… What kind of expression that is?”
Seeing that Erin’s reaction was not to her liking, Siete narrowed her eyes and glared at her.
“Oh, nothing! Just… It’s so surprising that you tell me that you’ve suffered…”
“Joy. Do you not know why you had to wait on me today?”
“Uh, yeah… Instead of not having Hyuni… Wasn’t it?”
“What are you looking at me for? You see him as an unkind teacher who asks him to do chores like this, who is usually very busy.”
“…”
Erin shut her mouth tightly.
At the end of the day, ‘Huh? Aren’t you?’ Almost came out.
If that was the case, she would surely have told Siete about her mistake while listening to her cold eyes.
“It is a punishment that you had to follow me around today.”
“Pay?”
“You didn’t mean to shut her mouth after summoning me at will, right?”
“… Huh!?”
Erin was startled and her shoulders twitched.
She belatedly recalled how, inside the ant nest, she suddenly summoned Xie Te and asked her to capture the ancient witch beast, making her excuse that Eun-hyeon ordered her to do it.
It is clear that she is the fault she did herself.
I still get a cold feeling in my back when I think of the look in her eyes at that time.
“I forgot.”
“Oh no! Not really!”
To be honest, she had completely forgotten about it, but Erin was in desperate denial.
She said, “All right. She doesn’t want to scold her, so go back now. I think I should get some rest today.”
“All right…”
◆ ◆ ◆
“Ha. I’m tired…”
Perhaps it was because she had been following Shite all day, her body and mind were both tired.
She trudged her limp body toward her ducal residence.
“I hope Hyun-i will come soon…”
It’s only been a day since she ascended to the divine realm, and she’s already about to miss it.
She had been told that perhaps she would be back by tomorrow, but the day felt too long for her to wait for that tomorrow.
“Ah… I want to be held in Illyana-sama’s arms and stroked all day…”
Next to being touched by her Hyun Yi, Erin, whose hobby was to flirt with Illyana and her other wives, was very hungry for that touch right now.
“Oh, lady. Did you have a good trip?”
“What were you doing today?”
When she led her weary body to the front of the duke’s mansion, the soldiers guarding the front gate of her mansion found her Erin and greeted her.
“Lol. I’m here. Uncles!”
Erin, like Eleanor, is the wife of Eun-hyeon, but unlike Eleanor, who is in a high position that cannot be looked up to, she is a commoner, so she is familiar with the soldiers.
In addition, the unique pheromone of gumiho makes people open their hearts easily and builds familiarity.
In particular, thanks to her cute appearance and mature body, Erin was a popular figure not only in the adventurer’s guild, but also here.
Listening to Erin’s answer with a bright smile, the soldiers smiled and opened the door to her mansion.
“Come on in. Miss.”
“Yes!”
Accepting the courtesy of her familiar soldiers as if she were her own brother, she entered the ducal residence with dignity.
As soon as you enter the mansion, the first thing you need to do is tell Eleanor, the owner of the mansion, and Illyana, the highest-ranking woman among her wives, that you have returned.
Slightly pondering who to go to first, she moved her steps toward Eleanor’s office.
“Miss Eleanor. I have been.”
As she stood in front of her office and knocked to announce her own presence, Eleanor’s gentle voice came from the room.
“Huh. Come in.”
“Excuse me… Uh?”
When Erin entered her office, she noticed that a passenger had entered her room first, and she put on a bewildered expression.
“Oh? Hi?”
Erin paused at the shocking visual of her sitting on the couch, chewing with her mouth full of sweets from her plate on her stomach.
In the office of the lord who runs the dukedom of Armitas, aside from being extremely rude, the appearance of the subject showing that behavior is shocking.
A girl wearing a pure white priestly robe, who seemed to be younger than herself, had a divinity in her appearance, and she did not feel the elegance of a high-ranking priest as she ate sweets spread out on her sofa.
Soon after, she immediately lowered her head in a hesitant agitation.
“Hello. Anies.”
“Huh.”
Agies smiled and focused on eating the sweets again.
‘… He somehow looks like an old man.’
It was an impression that came to Erin’s mind.
However, it was also because of the position and ability that Agnes possessed that she could confidently take such a light attitude in the office of this ducal family.
Contrary to the impressions that came into her head, the miracles of divinity that Agnes exerts are real.
Maybe it was because she had seen and experienced it firsthand.
Erin couldn’t relax her nerves, no matter how lighthearted and uncle-like Anies was.
“Under. The more I look at it, the more angry I get.”
“… Yes?”
When Anies suddenly looked at her and made an expression that he didn’t like her, Erin asked back nervously.
As soon as she met her, she just said hello, but she didn’t understand what the hell she was doing wrong.
“Eunhyeon. The guy who is sick of this fortune. It’s not enough that she has multiple wives, so the more you see them together, the more beautiful they become.”
“…”
It was a grumble mixed with her praise of herself.
Erin asked what the hell she was worried about, looking at Agies with a weak expression.
“Yeah… Agnes-sama, why are you here… ?”
“Well, I was just bored so I came to play… There but It’s not that there was no business at all.”
“… ?”
She put on an expression that Erin couldn’t understand at her cryptic answer.
“Originally, Eunhyun had something to do with him. He’s been away for a while now. So, in a car that lost its purpose, I just gave Illyana some blessings and sat down here to eat snacks.”
“Aha.”
Erin gave her expression of understanding.
Right now, Eunhyeon is taking a rest after following Belldandi to the divine realm.
Eun-hyeon, who is spending a different time with the flow of providence different from this place, plans to return to the summer world after taking a vacation of about two years.
Erin, who understood her situation, wondered what Agies’ business was.
“What’s your business with Hyun-i?”
“Hmm?”
Agnes glanced at Eleanor, who was sitting at her desk.
What that gaze meant was a question to confirm in advance whether there would be any problem if she told this story to her outsider, Erin.
Eleanor laughed and nodded her head.
“Are you okay.”
Like herself, Erin, Eun-hyeon’s wife, is not a light-hearted person to brag about even when she hears her story.
Rather, I was thinking of asking for help from Eleanor’s side so that Erin could be with her Eunhyun or herself.
“Hmm. It would be fine if you said so.”
Anyes gave her a small nod and lifted her body from lying on her sofa to face Erin sitting across from her with a serious attitude.
The appearance of the old man who ate sweets was nowhere to be found, and the dignity of a priest serving God began to flow from Agies’ serious behavior.
Erin gulped down her saliva, overwhelmed by the aura of Agies, even though she was dumbfounded that elegance works like a switch being turned off and on.
“Actually, it is. Our grandpa is not far away now.”
“… Yes?”
Erin asked back with a puzzled expression, not knowing what she meant.
Even if he said that he was her grandfather, it is natural that Erin, who knew nothing about Agies’ family relations or the people around her, would not understand what she was saying.
It was Eleanor who looked at Erin, smiled bitterly at her, and added an additional explanation.
“Anes. If you talk like that, Erin and others won’t understand.”
“Oh, don’t you know him? What must be As for my grandfather, I mean the highest-ranking priest in our temple.”
“The highest priest in the temple…”
The temple Agies was talking about here was not the temple branch of the kingdom of Pernias.
Not the Temple of Vesta spread across the continent, but the Great Temple that oversees all of those temples.
It meant the main school located in the center of the capital of the Holy Nation of Erenia.
And, according to Erinn’s common sense, only one priest could come up with the highest rank in the main school.
“Church, Pope… Sir… ?”
“That’s right.”
Anies nodded his head as if he was correct.
“Our Pope. So, Grandpa didn’t have much time left to live. So… Before he suddenly left, he said he missed Eun-hyeon.”
The reason Agies came to Eunhyeon was to deliver the message of the Pope of the Temple of Vesta.
