Episode 456

“Hehe... Hehehehe.”

A boy with a cute impression, who was smiling eerily, had a sinister expression on his face.

“How dare you treat me like this, Neltarid-nim’s faithful servant. You will have to be determined.”

The boy’s name was Kane, who called himself Valkyria and said that he was a servant of a god who served an unfamiliar god called Neltarid.

The boy looks very young, at most 10 to 13 years old, but everyone knows he doesn’t go through that normal way of growing up.

Actually, he was born only a day or so ago.

The boy poured a little light into the reagent using the power of his unique light.

Then he smiled grimly again and held up his ordinary potion bottle.

“Okay, it’s done. If you smell or drink the scent of the activated solution, the effect will be revealed, right? Where should I check?”

Among the reagent identification methods, there is a method of distinguishing by smell.

After opening the cap of the potion bottle and holding it up to his nose to check the smell, his face showed little satisfaction.

Perhaps because of that, the blue wings on its back flap nonstop.

“Kane.”

Then the door burst open and a blonde girl burst in, and Kane hid the potion bottle he was holding in his hand with a startled face.

And then he smiled awkwardly.

“mother! You are beautiful!”

“What is he...”

Illina smiled, as if she was embarrassed but not offended.

“How are you?”

“Hmm... I don’t know much about human aesthetic sense, but one thing is certain. Your mother is the most beautiful in the world!”

At Kane’s answer, Illina scratched her cheek with a blushing face.

“Can I find out...?”

“yes?”

“Nothing. Please wait quietly here today.”

Although he was given the name Kane de Falan, he had problems entering the public sphere.

That’s why Illina didn’t reveal Kane’s existence to the outside until it was confirmed.

“Thanks anyway, but what were you doing? What are those potions?”

Looking at the various potions and herbs sold in the Mage Tower, the Alchemy School, and the temple, Illina suspiciously looked at Kane, and he smiled awkwardly and waved both of his hands.

“Oh nothing! Do not worry. mother!”

“Hmm... yes.”

It was doubtful, but it seemed like he couldn’t dig out more, so Illina said hesitantly and left. Kane let out a short sigh.

“Khehehehe...”

Then he started to laugh sinisterly again.

Because of the lenses Davey made, the usual blue eyes without pupils were covered by the blue pupils of normal human eyes.

“I’ll feed him water with this! Khehe... Khehe... Khehe... Cool! Cool cool!”

The guy who couldn’t control himself and smiled soon started coughing as if he had heard a sarcasm.

The guy, who had been coughing painfully for a long time with tears in his eyes, soon turned his head.

Then a figure similar to him appeared in the mirror.

[How do you finish it? Aren’t you excited?]

“Um! Like it! I like it! A recipe for such a reagent.”

[okay. With that, you’ll be able to scold that nasty human being with your mother.]

“But it wouldn’t be nice if it was too much.”

[Hey, don’t you believe me? We are the servants of Neltalid, the God of Harmony! There’s no way I’m going to let you know how to hurt someone, right? And you tried to kill that human at first too.]

“That’s because you were trying to hurt your mother.”

[Excuses.]

“But there are no Valkyria other than you and me?”

Kane asked like a child, and the figure in the mirror nodded.

[Unfortunately, yes. I can’t tell you anything right now, but when time passes, I’ll tell you everything then. One thing is for sure, our species has already gone extinct once.]

“But you still remain, right?”

[Because I am your only friend. trust me buddy Even if the entire race goes extinct, I will protect you as much as I do.]

At that, Kane stretched out his hand towards the shape with a bitter expression.

Then the figure stepped back and said.

[Now go back. Neltharid-sama’s power supports you in many ways. Even though all Valkyrias are dead, don’t forget that we still have helpers.]

Looking at the shape that disappeared along with those words, Kane looked at the vial in his hand.

It is a potion that makes you tickle for 2 hours just by eating it. The effect would be able to immediately scold that nasty human being.

Kane’s eyes flashed as he clenched his small fist.

As was the case during the swordsmanship tournament, the magic tournament is also held under the auspices of the Three Empires.

With the Palan Empire hosting this magic tournament, Crown Prince Salivan entrusted this task to her in order to get Illina out of the empire and build her position. If an accident doesn’t happen, it will be a great achievement.

one day before the start of the competition.

As the participating teenage boys and girls entered the banquet hall and watched the scene from afar, I was able to meet an unexpected person there.

“Brother!!”

Seeing the green-haired little girl hurried over as soon as she saw me, I hugged her and stroked her hair without hiding a smile.

“Winry has grown up a lot.”

At my words, he groaned and rubbed his head in my arms.

“Why did my brother change like this?”

“Can you recognize it?”

“Maybe I won’t recognize my brother.”

Even though my face value went up to my twenties after the metamorphosis, Winry recognized me right away.

“It’s been a while, Davey. I’ve been busy, so I haven’t been able to properly contact you.”

“It’s been a while, Julis.”

“What should I do.”

He broke into a cold sweat when he said it with a playful laugh.

“I think it would be like stepping on a new sprout, even as a joke.”

“So I am not participating.”

There is no interest in massacring civilians without reason.

“I just want to see if Winry is doing well and enjoy a tournament I haven’t seen before.”

During the swordsmanship tournament, the tournament was canceled in the middle due to the rampage between the vampire Shari and the 7 princes of the Baltiz Kingdom.

That’s why I decided to watch it this time.

After Ulysse left, only Perserk and Illina were left in a useless silence.

“Maybe the boy hurt Winry?”

“It can’t be. Don’t overdo it.”

If that really happened, it would be a different story, but the odds of that happening are probably low.

In fact, the boy said that during the sparring, he had never bullied anyone, only hitting with overwhelming skills.

“mother!!”

Then, from a distance, a small boy wearing a robe quickly ran toward Ilina.

“Kane?”

“mother! You are here!”

I clicked my tongue briefly at Kane clinging to him like a baby bird looking for its mother, and he immediately glared at me.

“What are you looking at, human!”

“Die?”

“Ugh!”

Illina stroked his head as he instinctively shrank.

“I told you this guy Davey was a dear friend. Should I apologize?”

“Ha, but.”

“hurry.”

Unexpectedly, Illina’s tone made Kane cry, and then he took out a small bottle of medicine from his chest.

It was a fairly expensive mana potion.

“joy! Eat this!”

Illina giggled as she shyly held out the bottle to me.

“Are you shy?”

“Oh no!”

“Davey Ai is giving it to you, aren’t you going to accept it?”

At that, I silently accepted the bottle he handed me.

I think I saw the corners of his mouth go up for a second.

At the same time, mischief flares up in Perserk’s eyes.

“Is the mana flow in the bloodline that Ilya Davey healed okay?”

“Ah...well. He was active at first, but now he has become quite dull.”

I nodded to Ilina’s answer.

“Then you should drink, not me. Your total mana is insufficient. It’s quite expensive, so you drink it.”

At my words, Ilya took the bottle with a half-suspicious face on her face.

“Will it really work...”

“It will be enough.”

“Ah... uh mother!”

“Why Kane?”

Cain showed a restless expression as he opened the cork and saw Illina smelling the scent.

“That’s...”

“Why is it happening?”

“Oh no. So...”

“It’s bland.”

That was the moment when he was about to bring the bottle to his mouth.

“Aaaaaaaaa!!”

Frightened, he flew up and snatched the bottle from Illina.

Then he began to swallow himself. Instinctively, Perserk’s mouth goes up and his face turns blue in my face.

“Ugh...”

And then.

The effect was evident at once.

“Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!”

Illina’s expression twisted grotesquely as she couldn’t stand it and rolled on the floor and started laughing.

“What is it?”

“What are you kidding me with? It’s the size of a rattlesnake.”

“Cook-Cook.”

At my words, Kane couldn’t stop laughing even though he was crying profusely. Even so, he glared at me as if he were going to kill me.

Embarrassed, Illina tried to calm him down, but the effect didn’t go away.

“Davey! What do you do!”

Seeing her helpless look, I shook my head.

“What am I...”

Because there was no reason to do it.

It was then.

Seeing the familiar mana start to move from the banquet hall, I immediately started walking with my expression stiffened. Perserk, who was wearing a black and white dress, seemed to feel the same as me, and miniaturized his body and sat on my shoulder.

A banquet is not a place where magic is performed. It is a place where sprouts who will contribute to the future of the continent cross borders and build friendships

.

Mana moved.

That’s Winry’s mana.
