Chapter 94 - 94. Signal Flare

Eisel sits still for a long time with her face reddened, then she manages to pull herself up.

Jetto got up from the floor and brushed off her coat.

"It was dangerous."

"..."

Eisel still couldn't lift her head.

Meanwhile, Sierra clung to Zeto's shoulder and glared at her Eisel.

'Thoroughly calculated movements... It's not normal either.'

Even if Jeto cheated, he couldn't cheat himself, Sierra thought so.

Jetto was not particularly accelerated.

'Why didn't I catch it?'

He just had a small doubt as to why Aisel hadn't caught Muster.

Eventually, Eisel, who was lowering her head, opened her mouth first.

"I'm sorry I realized just before that I shouldn't kill him..."

"...It could be. Then, shall we change the method?"

Soon, Jeto will say that and move on.

Meanwhile, Yuri and Lucia, who were secretly watching them from the other side of the forest...

"Yu, Yu, Yuri! It's on fire! Fire! If you do this, the forest will burn down...!"

Lucia, with an urgent voice, struggled with her arms noisily.

Embers were crackling around Yuri, who was staring blankly at Jeto and Eisel.

This was unconscious.

Magic is not so easily influenced by emotions, but since she was born with the talent for fire magic early on and grew up eating elixirs related to flames such as 'Salamander's Tail', her aptitude increased as much as possible.

Therefore, Yuri's flame magic had to be seen as being greatly affected by emotions.

In particular, anger became a good firewood.

Yes.

Yuri was in a very angry state now.

It was a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time.

She had met Jeto earlier and spent time with him, and 'anger', which she had naturally forgotten, was burning inside her.

I had to put up with it.

She couldn't be ugly in front of Jeto.

She had no other cause in the first place.

It would be close to coincidence.

A man who can be called just your best 'friend'.

Last night, he got entangled with a woman who was reading a book like "101 Ways to Captivate a Man"...

'...Is it a coincidence?'

Yuri suddenly remembered what she had heard from her own father, Xerath.

'I mean love. If you miss the time, it's pretty exhausting.'

At the time, Yuri didn't know why Xerath, who had been asking about Eisel, said such a thing.

'Wouldn't it be okay if Miss Aisel and Jeto were whispering love in front of you?'

But now it seemed to make more sense.

Nothing was wrong.

For some reason, her anger rose.

After confirming that Zeto and Eisel were standing up, Yuri took a deep breath.

"...Whoa."

Then, as if to quench the burning anger, gray smoke leaked out of her mouth.

Yuri was confused.

She wonders if she really likes Jeto.

Whether it's her own selfish possessiveness.

It was because she felt that there was a big twist somewhere, very different from the kind of love she had seen in fairy tales since she was a child.

So I was really confused.

***

"Beep!"

Muster climbed on top of Zeto's head and let out a cute cry as if he was excited.

"You caught it so easily..."

Eisel looked up at Muster and said.

There was a hint of sadness in her voice.

"...I heard Muster likes honey a lot."

Jetto said while feeding Muster, who was on top of his head, a piece of honeycomb dripping with honey.

This was the knowledge he learned while playing 'Monster Trainer' in the game.

Although there were some twists and turns, Eisel and Jeto successfully captured Muster.

As a bonus, Zeto also found out how to control the waves of feeling.

If you gather energy and send a wave, it spreads that far, but there is a delay in the information returning, and the information is not very detailed.

Conversely, if you spread the waves narrowly, it was a feeling that you could know in detail.

The maximum range of the wave was quite wide.

Jetto guessed that investing skill points would lead to wider and more detailed information.

Then, Eisel, who is looking at Muster with bright eyes, enters Jetto's field of vision.

So he held out her beehive to her, which he was holding in her hand.

"Can you give it to Miss Aisel?"

Muster confirmed that her beehive had passed to Eisel and quickly jumped from Zeto's head into Eisel's arms.

Eisel focused on Muster with her mouth slightly open because the muster on her body was cute.

She was weaker to cute than she thought.

Her hand trembles slightly as she holds out a piece of her honeycomb.

Soon, Muster cries and eats the beehive.

Both the excited Muster and the cautious Eisel were cute, so Jetto puts a smile on his face.

Now, class will end early as we go back to Edward. Those who couldn't catch Muster still had to wander the forest.

On the way back to Edward with Muster, Eisel grabs Jetto's arm.

"It looks like class ended early... Would you like to have lunch together?"

Eisel tilted her head slightly and asked him.

Muster, who was riding on her head, was tilting her head as well.

Jeto pondered for a moment.

'I was thinking of going to learn a skill...'

It's about a meal.

Time was ample.

'Do you want to eat Herald's curry?'

He still wasn't used to the spicy taste of Harold... But it seemed like he hadn't been able to spend time with Eisel lately.

That was the moment he was about to answer Eisel.

Jeto, who was about to open his mouth, suddenly turned his head backwards.

Through his senses, he felt the presence of those who were approaching them at high speed.

Eisel follows him and turns her head.

It wasn't long before she felt their presence.

Before long, they approach Eisel and Jeto.

A bluish-haired girl among them opens her mouth as she gasps.

"Hey... Yu, Mr. Yuri... Slowly... A little..."

It was Yuri and Lucia.

"Huh... Uh... Mr. Jetto, Mr. Eisel!"

Lucia soon found Jeto and Eisel, and her eyes widened.

She smiled brightly and waved her hand as if she was having a hard time.

Unlike Lucia, Yuri, who was next to her, had an indifferent expression.

'I barely got it.'

Lucia was just happy to meet Zeto and Eisel by chance, but this was Yuri's intentional approach.

"...Is it a coincidence? We ran into each other at a place like this. We were just on our way to catch up."

Having said that, Yuri held Muster in her hand.

After confirming that Zeto and Eisel had captured Muster, Yuri desperately caught Muster and chased after them.

"Beep..."

Muster, who was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Yuri, let out a somber cry.

"Kyaa-!"

At this, Muster, who was on top of Aisel's head, muster sensed the danger of his own kind, and gave a hiss.

"...That's right. It's a coincidence."

In line with that, Eisel, who had a sullen face, said.

'Why am I interfering?'

Eisel barely resisted the urge to click his tongue.

Yuri left Eisel's answer behind and immediately approached Jeto.

Then he puts his arms around Zeto's arm.

This time, it was an arm that meant not to miss it.

Because Yuri was ahead of her mind, she was unknowingly pushing her breasts into Zeto's arms.

"Jetto. Let's eat together after class."

Yuri, who had asked Jeto, was not looking at Jeto, but Eisel, who was next to him.

Soon after, Aisel also crossed his arms around the remaining Zeto's.

"Um... Jetto was supposed to eat with me."

Eisel glared at Yuri.

'Don't disturb me and go away.'

Aizel said so.

"That was when we were alone... Now that I've run into you like this... I wonder if you can ask Zeto again."

Yuri, noticing this, asked Jeto softly.

"..."

Jetto said nothing else.

[Why are these bitches doing this as a group...! Done. Take it all My son, she ate the elixir yesterday, so let the original daughter cook for her today. ]

She blamed Sierra for being a mess.

In the hectic situation that happened out of nowhere, Jeto managed to catch the creeping voice of Lucia who was muttering, 'I... I'm hungry too...' On the other side.

"Haha... Then, why don't we all eat together as 'four'...?"

Jetto answered them with a smile as bright as he could.

This was the best option for him.

"Joe, good...!!"

Soon, Lucia's face suddenly brightened.

***

A woman in a spotless white dress enters the room, which had been reeking of acrid stench.

Ecclin, the vice-captain of the Silver Wing Knights who had been waiting for her, opened her mouth.

"...Saint."

In response, Bernice gives her a faint smile.

"Ecclin, I'm not late, am I?"

"As you commanded, I kept my breath."

The black blood unique to the demon tribe splattered on Ecclin's silver armor.

"...Thank you for your effort."

Ecclin lowers her head at Bernice's words.

Information that there was a black magician who would curse a specific person for money came into the knights, and as a result of investigation, it was the work of the demons.

Demons who cursed were not very common.

Most of them specialized in melee combat through magic or physical enhancement using demonic energy.

Bernice had personally asked that demon, so he had ordered him to live for a while.

Following Ecclin's guidance, Bernice enters the room.

"Heo-euk... Heo-euk... Cool...!"

An unpleasant black liquid was pouring out of the mouth of the demon who was gasping for breath with both arms cut off on one side of the wall.

"...I'd like to talk to you two for a moment."

Bernice, who was looking at the demons, turned his head and said.

At Bernice's words, Ecclin and his members immediately leave the room.

Bernice approaches his demon and bends his knees to meet him at eye level.

She gazes at her demons.

The demons knew very well who the pure white woman was in front of her, and what kind of existence she was a 'saint' to the demons.

Then, overwhelming fear comes to the demons who face Bernice's left eye that seems to be sucked in.

At that time, when a kaleidoscope was quickly passing through the demon's head, Bernice, who had tilted her head, asked him a question.

"I heard that it deals with curses."

"..."

The demon barely nodded her head.

He didn't want to answer her, but he felt the pain of her divine power emanating from her, burning his skin.

"Then... Do you know about the curse engraved on the heart?"

"..."

When the demon does not answer again, Bernice increases the strength of his divine power.

Demons were often like this.

They were easier to interrogate when they were still in human form.

"Kuaaaaah!!!!!!"

Then, the demons scream in pain.

"Answer?"

A short word from Bernice, who had temporarily absorbed divine power.

The demon's mouth, which had been trembling violently, finally opened.

A little time passes.

Bernice walks out of the room.

"...Could you retrieve the horn?"

At her calm voice, a young knight who has just joined the knights enters the room.

The demons were burnt to such an extent that it was difficult to recognize their shape, and smoke was rising.

The member covered his nose at the terrible smell and retrieved the horn.

Ecclin, who was leaning against the wall, asked Bernice, who walked out with a calm expression.

"How is it?"

"Um... But I did get some."

Bernice said with a bright smile.

I got the answer as I wanted.

But the question was not resolved.

Bernice, who left as it was, patted her lips and thought about it.

'There is only one curse engraved on the heart... Is the curse right?'
