CH 287
“It was so cute, that little Bear. If Lars had been a certified tamer, do you think he could have taken him home?”
“I think it would have been difficult because his parent would have come with him. Besides, if we went back to Illuminate town, he’d end up in a tamer’s facility, which would be pitiful.”
“I see ……”
“Well, you could always ask Norma-san to buy you a bigger house then, right?”
“Don’t say that so easily, Teacher ……”
“I’ll pay for a new house too ……!”
I gently rebuked her as her eyes lit up, and we raced down the main street toward the estate. There are few people on the street, so we soon arrived at the house on the hill.
“I’m sorry, I need to speak to the lord, so can you let me through?”
“I’m sorry, sir, but I’ve been told not to let anyone through today ……”
“I’ll take responsibility. If the minister says she’s here, you can’t just turn him away. I don’t care if I have to go through forcefully, though?”
“Ah, yes ……”
The two gatekeepers looked at each other in bewilderment as they tried to figure out what to do. In fact, I understand that the lord is busy with his work, but this is an emergency situation for us, so Basleigh-sensei is not being reckless.
— But, it seems that time was moving faster than we thought. The gatekeeper was reluctant to open the gate, when we heard the sound of breaking windows and explosions coming from the house!
“What was that!? …… I’ll go, you guys can follow later!”
“I’m counting on you! So, Makina-chan, don’t worry about it! Do it!”
“What!? I understand! …… Yaaaaaaaaah!”
At the same time, I’m using levitation to go past the gate, I can hear Makina yelling. I jumped in the direction of the sound, leaving the other side to myself for now, and saw smoke rising from one of the windows on the second floor.
“There it is ……!
I jumped up at once and went into the room, only to find that my bad premonition had come true.
“Lux!”
“Uh, guh …… L-Lars ……! Please …… help me ……”
“Gugu ……”
In the corner of the room, Lux is bleeding while protecting Zanbia. And Zanbia was lying on the floor with a wound that was not light. Only Sonia, who must now be condemned, and the three remnants of the Clan stood between them. I didn’t know they were already taking action. ……! Did the ones who escaped report it? No, there’s only three of them, so we were probably faster than them.
So, it’s possible that Sonia took this moment to make her move. She was probably planning to let Birdie and the others take care of us, but she didn’t expect to get hit in return, did she?
“Son of the Lord of Gust!? For you to come back, what were Albatross and the others doing!?”
“It’s all right, Sonia-sama! I don’t know what kind of magic you used, but you’re a foolish boy to show up here all by yourself, die.”
“You’ve now shown your true colors! .”
“Whoa, I can’t get too close carelessly, huh!”
“Just stay put there, Lux, are you okay?”
I approach Lux and stand in front of him while restraining him with the Fire Arrow. Then, relieved, Lux slumped to the floor and exhaled.
“I-, I’m saved …… I haven’t missed a day of training since I graduated, but these guys are strong …… they might be tough even for you. The others are, not here yet, huh …… ha …… ha …….”
“You don’t have to talk. .”
I use Fire Arrow with my right hand and Healing with my left to heal Lux.
…… In fact, on the way back from a visit with Himmel-san, Lux appeared in front of the carriage and we were able to meet.
According to Lux, he left the mansion with Naja, but Sonia harassed him relentlessly, so once he went to protest to his father, Zambia, Sonia took out the medallion and was about to do something with it, so he took it and disappeared.
After that, they had been unable to contact each other, and Lux had been monitoring the mansion, which seemed to be the right thing to do.
While I was thinking about this, Lux, who was now able to move, pulled Zanbia to me and I treated him. But–
“Your left eye is ……”
“Yeah, it looks like it’s been sliced open and I can’t see anything …… but the pain is gone. Thank you.”
It seems that my healing does not bring back the lost eye, and Lux’s right eye is not shining. Damn it …… Is it because I didn’t have many chances to use recovery magic that [Super Jack-of-all-Trades] was not able to improve it ……
He kept on shooting magic at the humans in the clan, hating himself for not being good enough. They don’t care about the magic, they just slice through it and come closer and closer.
“Tch, Sonia-sama, this guy’s a problem, the amount of his magic is unbelievable. The situation’s going to get worse and worse.”
“It’s no use, back off for now!”
” “Yes!” “
When he stopped attacking me, I stopped my magic, drew my sword, and readied myself. If we stay here long enough, Makina and the others will come from the back, and no matter how strong they are, they’ll be no match for Makina and Fath-san.
Then, as he staggers on his feet, Xavier pushes me aside and opens his mouth.
“What’s wrong with you, Sonia? Are you being instigated or manipulated by someone ……”
“I’m sane, though? From the beginning, okay? Yeah, the first time I met you was when I was attacked by a monster on my way back from the castle. It brings back memories.”
Zanbia smiled at Sonia and continued.
“What are you trying to say ……? But if you kill me and kill the son of the Gust territory’s lord, the country will not stay silent! And now the Minister and the Inquisitor are here too. I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but don’t do anything stupid!”
“…… If you’d just handed over to the position Varnish, we wouldn’t be in this much trouble ……!”
“Why …… Why do you want Varnish to be the lord so much ……!”
“It’s obvious, isn’t it? In order to obtain power, it is quicker to become a lord. Especially if he’s your direct son, the eldest son. “
And then she smiles with a charming smile. However, the next word Lux said froze the place.
“Eldest, huh. How dare you say that, Sonia ……! Are you saying that knowing that Varnish is not father’s child? Or did you raise a child you didn’t even know who’s is?”
Happy New Year! (At the time of writing ……)
I’m hoping to do a lot more this year, so please bear with me!

“Ah, Happy New Year!?”
Ohhhh!? It’s because your shouting in the mountains!?
“I think it would have been difficult because his parent would have come with him. Besides, if we went back to Illuminate town, he’d end up in a tamer’s facility, which would be pitiful.”
