CH 103

: It's getting dark (1)

In the evening several wagons entered the Welton Street mansion.

It was the carriage of the aristocrats living near Heis.

They entered the mansion under the guidance of the attendant.

The faces of the nobles were not bright. All the determined faces harbored a certain determination one by one.

"Come in."

The servant opened a door somewhere.

What unfolded inside was a splendidly decorated banquet hall.

Today is a fun banquet day. However, the faces of the nobles were not those of those who came to enjoy the banquet.

"Come, everyone."

Earl Wellton, who had been standing on the podium with his back to the entrance, unpacked his back and turned around.

He smiled at the guests and said:

"You have worked hard to come this far."

Today is a banquet

But it is not a banquet for pure enjoyment.

"Everyone seems to have a sad expression on their faces."

The Count nodded as if he liked it.

"That's right, cancer. The enemy we will have to deal with will be that great."

Today's banquet is a small meeting for the well-being and peace of the Eastern aristocracy and even the kingdom.

It was a gathering of those who made the great evil Zenithism their enemy.

* * *

The banquet began.

There were mouth-watering foods, and the scent of fragrant liquor lingered, but no one paid attention to them.

Earl Wellton was very pleased with their appearance.

He smiled, and placed his hand on the shoulder of his brother-in-law, Viscount Ballet, standing next to him.

"Today is a banquet for Viscount Ballet from a distant land."

Formally it is.

"As a member of the same Eastern family, as you all know, he is my best friend, and he is just like a brother without sharing blood."

"I'm embarrassed, brother."

"Are you quietly listening?"

Although the Viscount was embarrassed, the Count spoke with joy and lifted the glass upwards.

Then he spoke with a slightly serious face.

"The Viscount Ballet is here today for one reason."

Everyone gathered here knew it.

Nevertheless, the Count dared to speak up.

"The present times are not very bright. As we all know, the Zenith Church attacked Apton and my wife's hometown."

The nobles of all the kingdoms who first heard the news were outraged.

In particular, the Eastern nobles were greatly outraged by the evil deeds of the Zenith Church.

"Not only that, but my father-in-law, Marquis Belle, and my eldest son, Jamie, were about to get in trouble."

The expression of the nobles was distorted. It had been over a month, and they were still angry.

"But they came back safely, and now we are in a situation where we are putting pressure on the Zenith Church."

The Kingdom of Seldam, the various allies, and the forces that did not have good relations with the Zenith Church.

They were all working together and pressing.

But everyone knew that the Zenith Church would not admit sin.

"There will be war."

within a few years. maybe in a few days.

Zenith is one of the main axes of the 12 gods that rule over parts of the continent.

There will be a huge war involving the entire continent.

"That's why I'm here today."

He couldn't gather the entire Eastern Nobility.

There was neither time nor space for that.

Instead, he secured the legitimacy of the banquet with the consent of Count Simon, another leader of the Eastern aristocracy.

"Earl Simon agrees with me and has sworn to always be with me. So do I. We have a great enemy ahead."

The Count looked around the crowd with a determined face.

"So the Ballet family, those gathered here, and even the Eastern aristocracy will always be together, and today's small party will be a cornerstone for everyone's harmony and for the future!"

The Count tilted his glass in the air.

"Let's toast to the mace of justice upon the wicked hordes."

"Blessed be Earl Wellton!"

"Glory be to the Kingdom of Seldam!"

The nobles at once raised their cups high and pretended to clash.

Then they all drank without a drop.

The banquet began.

* * *

Jamie was chewing jerky in a corner.

Because it is a high-quality jerky eaten by nobles, the texture is soft and it is not as tough as the jaw will fall off.

'It's different from the jerky I ate in my previous life.'

The jerky I ate at that time was like a piece of stone with only horse meat and no seasoning. It was not chewed properly, and the fishy smell was so severe that it made me nauseous.

Anyway.

I just heard that there is a place like this today.

'Did your father really say that so late?'

The intention was to focus on the training, but if you had informed me in advance, I would have prepared my mind.

The bow tie that tightened the neck felt cramped.

Fortunately, today's seat is a seat, so the nobles did not bother. Everyone was gathering around the earl and talking with serious faces.

Hey!

Then I heard a familiar tomboy's voice next to me.

Jamie didn't answer, just chewing the jerky.

Hey!

Then the girl, Ash, cried out again.

Jamie sighed with an annoyed look on her face and turned her head.

Unlike usual, in a cute dress and with her hair braided to the side, Ash smiled softly and spoke.

"Are you seeing it now?"

"What's going on?"

"What must happen to your friend?"

And Ash naturally takes the next seat.

It was already a tiring place, so I wanted to spend some time alone. It was also impossible.

Ash asked, leaning closer.

"You said the Count decided to teach you the sword?"

Huh. That's how it happened."

Jamie answered, keeping a little distance from Ash.

Then Ash hugged her body again and congratulated her.

"Congratulations!"

Jamie frowned at the girl who was approaching too much today.

"Why all of a sudden?"

what? Just congratulating my friends."

Ash said, 'Cancer! Not like that!' He snorted like an uncle. I couldn't believe it was an 8-year-old girl.

Jamie asked again, widening the distance.

"But what about Miss Rebecca?"

Rebecca was not seen in the banquet hall.

As Jamie looked at Ash with a quick look on her face, she suddenly pouted her lips.

Then he opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.

"Why do you put sheep on your sister?"

What?

"Why are you attaching a sheep to your sister and calling me ya?"

What nonsense is this?

Jamie was momentarily speechless.

With that or not, Ash continued what she had to say.

"She treats me harshly, but she treats me kindly ."

"I'm talking to you, so call me ya."

"Are you calling me a sheep because I don't let my sister go?"

Is that what you call a question now?

But the opponent is a child. Children often say things that don't make sense.

Haven't you felt a lot while living with this body for 7 years?

"Why are you talking nonsense? I didn't say anything, how do you call me ya?

"It's not ."

Why. Shall I call you sheep too?"

"Hey, sheep don't get along with me."

In the first place, it is not appropriate to call the person '~yang' in the state of the horse.

I didn't even point it out like that.

Instead, I decided to listen to what she had to say.

"Since I was little, I heard a lot of people saying that I look like a boy In addition ."

In addition?

"My sister is elegant, feminine, uh ."

"So you're saying you're envious of a feminine older sister?"

"Boo, I envy you! My sister is very pretty, kind, and has a good personality, though. Well, you, too, like my sister!"

At those words, Jamie looked at Ashe with a blank look.

Ashe covered her mouth with both hands, thinking she had made a mistake.

Jamie sighed inwardly.

Even if you are mistaken, you are firmly mistaken. I don't know why I'm making this mistake in the first place, and it was ridiculous that I had to explain something to a child.

'Even if Rebecca is Jane's reincarnation.'

personality is so different It only looks like Jane.

So there was no emotion.

Before that, Rebecca was only ten years old. No matter how old Jamie was, what was inside was a mighty warlock who had returned after over 60,000 years.

Unless you're a terrible pedophile, there's no way you can't have feelings for a child.

"I don't like it."

lie.

He's very adamant about the kid's subject.

But it's not that it isn't.

"Why would I lie to you like that?"

"Yeah, that too. Don't you really like my sister?

okay.

thank God.

It was a very small whisper.

The problem is that Jamie was whispering right next to him.

If it were another child, I would have asked what it was, but the sound was so loud that I couldn't hear it properly.

'Something was strange.'

Sisters in pairs.

Jamie has a headache. That's the problem with being popular.

'The real problem is that they are both too young.'

Actually, there is a bigger problem than this.

That's Jamie herself.

A castrated warlock unfortunately does not feel love. Even if the Ballet Sisters were really attractive and big, that wouldn't change.

Anyway, Jamie pretended not to hear and asked Ash about Rebecca.

"So where did Miss Rebecca go?"

"My sister is sick, so she is resting in her room."

"Did you look okay before?"

"I went out for a while and then came back and suddenly I started to have a fever."

Maybe it was because my face was red and all that was because I wasn't feeling well?

'Of course, I thought it was because he liked me.'

You mean it was a mistake?

Disappointment just creeps in. Fortunately, no one knew about it.

But even this was an illusion.

Jamie didn't know. The reason Ash's body suddenly weakened is because of himself.

* * *

The banquet is over.

I didn't do anything, and I was mentally exhausted.

This was a lot harder than the training I had been through for a few days.

Jamie opened the door and half untie her bow tie when she found a pink squirrel lying on the bed.

Benna turned her head hard and greeted Jamie in a dying voice.

"Master, I'm here ?"

It is a voice that also loses the power of the listener.

While Jamie was training hard, Benado rolled and rolled like crazy in Gremia.

Thanks to this, the muscle pain accumulated and accumulated over the course of several days, making it impossible to move.

[Tttttt. I am so weak.]

Meanwhile, Philion was displeased with the weak Bena, but his voice did not reach Jamie.

"More than that, what happened?"

"I have decided to start teaching from my father tomorrow."

Oh oh. congratulations! Ouch."

I only raised my voice a little, but my whole body screamed.

Bena sighed and turned her head back to normal.

This posture is the most comfortable. I also feel less muscle pain.

Jamie looked at Bena like that and shook her head. Originally, I would have been yelling at what kind of harshness she was, but knowing her training ground, I stopped nagging.

"How are you?"

"What is that Hehe.

Bena smiled awkwardly, and Philion clicked his tongue again and answered in a very disapproving voice.

[It's been a while! You should have a different mindset, but this guy is too round, so that's a problem!]

Of course, Jamie didn't hear it.

Bena didn't have to deliver Philion's words. Instead, I asked Jamie, who was changing clothes.

"Where else are you going?"

Huh. Visit.

"What kind of visit?"

"You don't even know that. Anyway.

Jamie went outside again and pressed her finger on Bena's waist.

"Ke-e-e-eek!"

The squirrel screamed at the pain of muscle aches.

To work hard. Don't listen to what I said in vain."

"I know hey."

Jamie smiled and left the room.

I headed towards Rebecca. I don't know why I suddenly have a fever, but if I had a normal body, I could treat it myself.

Jamie clenched her fist, looking at the token in her left hand.

'The days of living and living and using the divine power are coming.'

But Jamie's mind completely changed as soon as she arrived before Rebecca.

"Jamie is here."

The expression of the Viscount Ballet sitting in front of her daughter was not very good.

Jamie looked at Rebecca without even thinking of saying hello to the Viscount.

A little girl with a bald head. The girl, who couldn't even sit still, looked at Jamie and started to smile brightly.

"Confucius."

Only then did I know

the identity of her disease.

It's nothing but .

'Love sick!'

It was a mental illness that could not be cured even with medicine.
