Chapter 205

The road to Ragnis’ mansion was by no means a long one, but in the meantime, Seneran really took my soul away with his chatter.

“Is it true that the Marquis of Levien beheaded 50 people for being insulted in the temporary detention center?”

“Is it true that you cut down 300 people in Count Envelde’s mansion and even killed the Count in one blow?”

“Is it true that you dealt with the young lion of Rudra and his 20 subordinates at once who disrespected the Margrave of Levien at the Imperial Academy?”

“Is it true that you fought for two days and nights with a dragon and reached a decision?”

The problem is that the contents are all a bit tasteless, so I couldn’t bear to just pass it over and had to correct it one by one. How come there are no true rumors? He grumbled about that part in the middle of his confusion, but Seneran didn’t quite sympathize with him.

“But I think this is good enough? There was a rumor that you were over 2 meters tall and wielded a greatsword the size of yourself.”

“...I have nothing to say.”

Eventually, exhausted from correcting all the false rumors, I arrived at Ragnis’ house and saw Asilie and the rest outside the front door talking to Lenisa. It was a very strange look. Without Ragnis, I had to stay as it was, and if Ragnis was there, I had to wait inside the mansion.

Fortunately, my doubts were quickly cleared.

“Ah, Lord Eldmia. It’s been a while. Did you have a good trip back home?”

“It’s been a while, Lord Renissa. I got caught up in a bit of an incident, but I got home safely. How did you know?”

“I found out about it in the process of sending a message to the House of Ogatorpe by order of the Marquis.

Lenisa explained that after the Envelde incident, busy days were continuing again. The main factor is Sir Radnell Vandes’ class, but if he hadn’t met Seneran, he would have been able to prepare the engraving contract only after dealing with the cultists.

“I told you to excuse me in front of me so as not to cross paths with Eldy, but you said you can only have guests and be my companion.”

Originally, it was intended to be taken into the house until I arrived, but it seems that it did not happen because Asilie stubbornly refused. I could have just ignored it and went in, but to think they cared that much. He is truly a man of great character.

“If you don’t mind, let’s talk to the Marquis? He’ll probably make time as soon as training ends.”

“No, I was just trying to get help, but it’s okay because I’ve come up with another way. We’ll see you next time.”

After parting ways, Sen, who had only been diligently rolling her eyes for so long, looked back at Renisa, who had been disappearing into the mansion, and belatedly asked a question.

“Oh my God. Eldmia-sama? What kind of life are you living? Where are you really a noble?”

“I’m just living hard. Hey, Merdella. He’s the one who will imprint on you.”

“Yes? Huh? Then why is the Margrave’s Mansion...”

“This person also just lived hard, so it’s a connection I got by chance today. Seneran. You can engrave a seal on him.”

“oh.”

When I looked at it using the Magic City, I could see that the mana flowing from Seneran’s fingertips was supplied to the magic circle like fuel. However, without realizing it for a while, I began to cut off my own mana little by little while refining mana from the magic in my body.

Through that process, the mana flowing from the magic circle flows into Merdella. To be precise, it flowed into her left wrist and left a mark like a tattoo.

It was a very strange sight. Not only for me who can see the flow of magical power, but also for those who can’t. The series of processes continued until Merdela finished reading the parchment, and as soon as she put the parchment down, the magic circle disappeared and ended.

Seneran was the first to speak.

“The contract was neat, but the restrictions on breaking the conditions would never be neat, so it would be better to keep the contract and memorize it while carrying around. Wouldn’t it be unfair if you died by mistake?”

“Are there many cases like that?”

“You would be surprised to know how many academic papers are published on the topic of incidents and accidents caused by engraving contracts. These conditions tended to be in the form of a contract, although they were not very important to me.”

Seneran said, shaking off his hands and turning his mad eyes to me again.

“Now. Shall we proceed with our contract?”

“...Didn’t I tell you while I was coming here? It’s time to kill all the cultists.”

“Did I hear you right? I’m including that. I’ll follow you.”

“yes?”

He is a truly unstoppable human being. I wondered what the hell she was talking about, but surprisingly, the argument that came out of her mouth was valid.

“Because you are confident, you are going to charge into the base of the cultist group, but there are always variables, right? Wouldn’t it be a very reasonable decision to increase the possibility of safe survival by adding to the trip?”

“...What if you die too due to that extreme variable?”

“I’d rather die than have my research possibilities blocked.”

Madness. It was truly madness. Unknowingly, I trembled and clung to Asillie.

Asilie was already aware of how the situation was going and tended to remain silent, but Sen and the rest looked at me with expressions that seemed completely incomprehensible and implicitly demanded an explanation.

Of course, there was no explanation for the lottery tickets that had not yet been scratched.

After concluding the conversation by accepting Seneran’s argument, I sent a unilateral notice telling them not to worry.

Still, from now on, you will be involved in my request, so I was about to start the meal, saying that I would give you a little bit of the cost of meals and lodging, as well as some of the remuneration given by the Holy Light Cross.

“Huh? It’s Eldmia, right?”

Gaendal, Gin, and Rellie appeared behind Ekatrina, who always called me with a pleasant voice.
