Chapter 353 - A Story of a Certain Village (11)(Side: Gizel)

Finally, we can see the village It seems we took a bit of a detour along the way.

Gizel wiped the sweat from her forehead and said so with a smile.

It was a much longer walk than she had anticipated, but at last here was her brother Abel, the purpose of her long journey.

The fatigue they had experienced up to this point was now a thing of the past.

The search party for Abel led by Gizel had finally obtained conclusive information about Abel and had visited the Fage territory ruled by Baron Lark.

Gizel and her team were once misled by false information and headed to Lugart City, but they somehow managed to return to Asshim City, where they found a strange item for sale.

Thats right, its an Ortem.

At first glance, Gizel could tell that it was not made by Abel, but she thought that he was involved in some way, so she searched for its origin.

Finally, she overheard the battle between the high priest of the Levi church and the white-haired sorcerer in the Fage territory.

This time, she made sure to corroborate the story so that she wouldnt be deceived like last time.

The more she heard about it, the more she couldnt think of anyone else but her brother Abel himself.

I didnt expect the story to go so smoothly. Im grateful that Abel-san had done something spectacular.

Shibi crossed her arms and nodded her head in relief.

Shibi was also very tired from the unfamiliar journey.

Compared to the early days, when he had been frightened every time he was surrounded by strangers, he was much more tolerant, but the feeling of wanting to go home was getting the better of him.

Ill ask Abel-san to give up and come home. If Abel-san walks around too much and makes people think that all the Marrens are like that, it will be a crisis for the entire Marren tribe.

Shibi cowered deliberately and said with a half-smile.

What do you mean, Shibi-san? You think Brother is some kind of problem for the Marren tribe?

Gizel looked back at Shibi with a cold voice.

Forgive me, spirit of our ancestors.

Shibi crossed his hands with a straight face.

Gizel glared at Shibi, but then quickly turned around.

Then she lets out a small sigh, and her eyes narrow with anxiety, instead of joy.

Will my brother come back with us obediently?

Its okay, Big Sister Gizel! Abel-san and Big Sister Gizel were very close, werent they? Im sure he just went out on a whim and couldnt come back! My love fortune teller says that my Big Sister and Abel-san is a perfect match!

Lil clenched her fists and bent her elbows to cheer Gizel up.

But

And Big Sister Gizel is very beautiful! Im sure youll be fine! I can guarantee it! Im also a fortune teller of the Liefel family who assists the chief! Im very confident about my fortune telling results!

Thank you, Lil-chan.

Gizel smiles back at Lil.

Ehe~! Big Sister Gizel praised me!.

Lil hugs Gizel.

As Shibi watched the scene, he looked back at the path he had taken.

By the way I know its a little late, but is it really okay for Firo-san, the one who got sidetracked, to stay like this?

Yes, there was a bit of trouble on the way from the Asshim City to the Fage Territory, and we got separated from Firo.

Since there were no carriages to the Fage territory, we had to accompany the caravan to the Gobel Village, near the Fage territory, and from there we had supposed to go on foot.

However, there wasnt much room, so we were divided into three groups, Gizel, Lil, Shibi, and Firo, and each group was put in a different carriage.

So far, so good.

However, the caravan was unlucky enough to encounter a magic beast disaster monster panic of Foggs, and engaged in a battle with a large number of foggs.

Gizel and the others used magic to fight back and succeeded in escaping with minimal damage.

However, because of this, the carriage was scattered all over the place.

In addition, one of the merchants who lost a lot of money traced it back to the fault of another merchant and demanded compensation, which caused a lot of trouble in the company.

There were those who left without permission, those who changed course without permission, and even those who went ahead on their own without permission.

To top it all off, due to the effects of the monster panic, a mutated species of fogg appeared, wielding a powerful poisonous gas, and chased after the caravan at high speed.

Gizel, Lil, and Shibi succeeded in reuniting as planned in Gobel Village.

However, Firo was the only one who did not show up even after three days.

Perhaps the carriage carrying Firo had stopped coming to Gobel village for some reason.

But Gizels trusted grimoire, Sim, urged her to go ahead and leave Firo behind, saying, We dont have much time.

Its okay, Shibi-san. Besides, theres a possibility that Firo-san might be in the Fage territory first, you know? Sim-san says its better to go ahead.

Gizel hugs the grimoire Sim as she says this.

I dont know

Firo-san also have money, so shell be fine. Sim-san says its okay. Im sure shell come after us soon. Ill meet up with my brother and then well wait for her in the Fage territory.

But that grimoire doesnt tell us anything about Firo-sans condition

It will be fine.

Gizel said, and opened the grimoire.

The pages were empty, but the words were written in spirit language.

Im sure this Firo kid will slip through the cracks. Youd better leave her behind while you still can. I was betrayed by a girl like that when I was human. Besides, you shouldnt be wasting your time here.

Sim-san also seems to have gone through a lot. Can I hear about it in the future? About story when you were a human

Sim spelled words again.

Okay. But I still can only remember a few things from when I was human. If you became happy, Im sure Ill be able to remember a lot of things, too.

So, Gizel, please dont become a bookworm like me. I want you to be happy for me as well.

Thank you very much Sim-san! Ive come this far thanks tof you, Sim-san! You taught me magic, gave me tips on how to strengthen my body, talked to me about my problems, and even listened to my complaints ! Sim-san! Ill definitely make you and brother happy, for your sake!

Gizels tear drops to the grimoires page

That grimoire I wonder if its really okay to leave it like that

Shibi looked at Gizel anxiously and muttered in a small voice

When they entered the village, Gizel and the others immediately decided to call on a middle-aged man working in the fields to find out more about Abel.

Excuse me! Do you know the man named Abel who captured the High Priest of Levis Church in this village? Id like to meet him right away !

Eh, Abel-san? You cant find Abel-san here in Palgas Village. Hes in a village farther to the front, didnt you stop by on the way? Why did you have to go to this remote place on the edge of the continent first, ?

What ?

Gizels expression froze.

No way! Weve been walking here for days and days with great difficulty! Hey, Big SIster Gizel! Two days, just two days, lets take a break for a while, okay? Right? Abel-san wont run away!

Lil collapsed in tears and grabbed the hem of Gizels dress.

Are you guys are Abel-sans relatives? They all have the same white hair and red eyes.

Haaaa~ its not this way, huh. U-Um more importantly, are there any travelers who came before us by any chance?

Shibi was disappointed, but asked the man if he had any clue as to Firos whereabouts.

Hmm? No, but that guy is at ?

The man looked around at Shibi, Gizel and Lil and seemed to be pondering something.

Do you have any idea!? One of us got lost, and I think shes probably pretty panicked! Can you take me to Firo-san!

That guys name is Firo, huh? Really, I didnt know what to do with her either. She started screaming, I didnt get lost, the others are the one that got lost

Im sorry, I didnt mean to cause any trouble.

For a long time, the Marren did not leave their secluded village and lived peacefully with their relatives, so the whole family was in a state of communal disorder.

Gizel and the others had gotten used to the long journey, but they were not sure they could stay sane when they were left alone in a strange land.

They could have gone crazy and said something strange.

Firo-san, so you really were here first

On the way to the mans house, Gizel muttered to herself.

Gi-, Gizel-chan ?

As I recall, he was here in the morning Ohhhh, there he is! Traveler! Your friends chased after you!

A tall man in a dark cloak walks up from where the guide points.

The horns on the head extend out like a demons horns.

The blue crystalline stone that shines on his forehead, characteristic of the Doom tribe, is more impressive than the ruthless blank stare beneath it.

Hun, youve finally arrived. If it had been any later, I would have left you behind. Oh well, its only a small matter now. At last, I have succeeded in capturing the footsteps of the abominable Red Stone. Now I can finally bury her. I must end my familys fate before a new era begins. Hang on to it with all your heart. The red stone is guarded by the Count or the Counts prepared pawns

It had to be Melzef, the head of the Doom tribe that I had seen before in the Lugart City.

Marren youve observed us twice before from afar. As I thought, youve been following me on royal orders.

Meleseph wrinkled his brow and glared at Gizel and the others.

Why does this guy always shows the personality of a Big shot, but is lost?

Shibi muttered and held his mouth with his hand.

He sensed Melzefs gaze intensifying and hurriedly made a cross with his hand.
