107 [2-41] Gazin Hakume is like a warrior from Dongguk... (1/2)

When Tracy is summoned by Everis and enters the workshop, she finds the room in a strange state.

It was a messy room, littered with junk-like artifacts.

The whole place was illuminated by a vague, light green light.

The light source was not hard to find. It's a huge artifact in the middle of the room.

Inside a cylindrical, glass-like container.

Rene was floating in the glowing light green liquid. Her eyes are closed, and she looks as if she has died peacefully.

Rene's lustrous, fresh, white naked body, without a stitch of hair, is wrapped by her softly spreading silver hair. The silver hair shone like light itself in the liquid that was emitting.

”Hey, is this a situation where it's okay for me to enter the room?

”Well, I'm sure the princess won't mind. Just sit down.

Everis seemed to suggest a chair to a quizzical Tracy, but Tracy, unsure of which chair was which because of the mess of strange objects, decided to stand.

”What's with the nice aquarium?

I heard that when you got stuck in the fight the other day, you hurt yourself instead of taking care of yourself.

Yeah, I saw that.

The body can be replaced, but the body was damaged as well. I'm recovering fast because I feel like I'm about to fight.

...... Isn't it possible to melt five healthy people in this liquid?

Nice try.　That's 10.

Ew. ......

I don't know the details, but it's supposed to be a blasphemous recovery procedure.

It's true, we're nearing the end of the war.

Noachurio's army has no choice but to retreat.

The Marquis of Edfelt will announce the crown prince in time before the Noacurio army retreats, impressing Noacurio's backing and gaining the cooperation of the lords. The Noachurian army would probably leave right after that, but if he could get the word of the lords before that, he could get the flow going.

However, if Noachurio's army retreats, Rene will attack the Marquis of Edfelt.

He will destroy Teiracaines and take out Lord Marks and Crown Prince (to be) Gislain.

The only countermeasures the Marquis could take would be to recruit adventurers or ask friendly lords to contribute troops to fill the holes in the Noa Curio army.

However, even if the army returns, there is a good chance that the Holy Beasts will still remain.

As a side note, around the time of the withdrawal of the Noachurian army, the lords who were anti-Hilbert are planning to install another crown prince. It is said that the Second Knight Commander Bertil is involved in this move and has been connected with the Gilesh Hattar Federation.

However, as a researcher of ...... magic, it is really interesting. If you do mind-reading for divine magic, you probably see the god more clearly than the person who has the god in their mind. I didn't know that, either.

I don't know how you could see such a thing and not have a mental breakdown.

”God's enemies, huh?

Tracy thinks to herself.

Tracy's faith is weak. It's so weak that it could defeat a mallard. She thinks that God can't conveniently help her when she's really in pain.

Even so, Tracy thought that gods (excluding evil gods) were somehow good, benevolent, and worthy of reverence.

But listening to René, he seems to be an incomprehensible monster.

Maybe it's because Rene is an undead enemy of God, or maybe it's just that way.

By the way, Tracy, what is it that I called you here for?

”Oh, what is it?

When Tracy changed her mind and decided to save her troublesome thoughts for later, Everith threw in an even more troublesome topic.

You know, you look like that at your age .......

Didn't they give you a couple of bad pills when you were a kid?

Everis smirked, his eyes shining with curiosity.

It was a very private topic, and the fact that he had been able to find out about it was a shock. But Tracy didn't let it get to her, and at best, she responded in a relaxed manner.

Half of it is true. The other half of the reason I'm pretty is because of my efforts.

”Well, excuse me. Can I ask you something about your situation?

Well, it's nothing to hide.

My father, ...... well, he's my father, but he's a sorcerer who lives in hiding in Ciel-Teira.

A sorcerer. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

Women, in particular, are called witches.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm one of those people. I'm sure you'll agree that this is a great idea.

There are gender-specific spells, right?

Yeah. I don't know who the buyer was, but... I don't know who the buyer was, but I guess being a thief was part of the order, and that's where I learned it.

But my father was killed by the Moon Eaters while I was still a child. Congratulations!

It's not something to hide, but it's also not something to talk about. It's not something to hide, but it's not something to talk about. That's why I've only talked about this to a few people.

My relationship with Everith and Rene is that of a servant and a servant. That's why I feel that I can talk about it like this without any hesitation.

I don't have any grudges against the Moon Eaters because we never had a father-son relationship, but they're only interested in killing evil sorcerers, so they won't help the remaining me.

I've had no choice but to live my life on the sly. I've been trying to get into everyone's head with my charm and pretty face. I was trained to be a thief and became an adventurer.

I like it. I like it. It's nice to have a girl who is a bit of a bitter sweet with a hard upbringing when you think she's a spoiled sweetie brain. I like witches like that.

I like witches like that.

The purple crystal eyes of Everis shine, and Tracy sags like a balloon rat stared at by a fire python.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. She can at least sense the difference in power just by her presence. If she wanted to, she could always make Tracy a basket case.

”Well, that's all right.

You know you don't have long to live, don't you?　I've been thinking that you're not very sensitive to life threats.

Tracy, as expected, was shocked by this.

She was confronted with the fate of her life, which she had already been aware of.

I'm sure you can see that.

...... Hey, how many more years do you think I'll live?

”I don't know exactly without a test, but I'd say ......5 years.

That's it. That's about right.

I was well aware that my body was failing.

I knew very well that my body was failing me. I had the appearance of a little girl, but my body never grew. I don't know what effect the potion I was given as a child is having on me, but there is no way this kind of recklessness is good for me.

”What if I told you I could prolong your life?

Tracy gasped.

...... It was always a mistake to express such a blatant reaction.

Evelisse's mischievous grin deepened.

A devil's grin, playing with people?　No, no, nothing like that. It's just a playful thing for Everis. That's why he's simply enjoying Tracy's reaction.

It would be cool to be able to say, ”If I'm not going to be released and used to destroy the world, I'm going to die gracefully!
