Chapter 106 - EPISODE 106 – DEPARTURE FOR THE FRONT (2) (1/2)
Terms used in this chapter:
Pyeong – a Korean unit measurement of area and floor space. 1-pyeong is equivalent to 3.3052 m2 when converted to the unit measurements used globally. Pyeong is usually used for real estate floorspace. Examples are an average house having 25 pyeong and a studio apartment having around 8-12 pyeong.
“Sho exciting, sho exciting, eheim, eheim, sho exciting.”
Inside the tent of Jude and Cordelia after the meeting.
While Cordelia acted cutely upon seeing the new items from Blade Song that was on the floor, everyone else smiled.
“They’re all travel-related items.”
“Yes, it’s for our cause after all, so it’s justified.”
They needed help to cross the Sky Roof mountain range – that was their justification, so they couldn’t ask for items that had nothing to do with that.
If Jude had only focused on ripping him off, the wild gods would not have cooperated with Jude from the very beginning even if Blade Song had agreed to it.
“They’re all new items that are quite useful.”
Adelia nodded at Cordelia’s words.
“You’re right, they all look useful.”
They were referring to the three new items that Blade Song gave them.
The items were ‘Mysterious Canteen’, ‘Black Wolf Skin’, and ‘Cozy 1-pyeong.’
“To explain this…it’s something like a space expansion canteen, a transformation skin, and a tent that can be easily used anytime and anywhere?”
When Gaël asked everyone, Jude nodded his head.
“Yes, they’re all useful items.”
Unlike Cordelia’s bamboo canteen that was the size of her forearm, the Mysterious Canteen could hold enough water to fill several bathtubs. And if one wore the Black Wolf Skin and chanted the spell, they would be able to transform into a big black wolf.
Lastly, the Cozy 1-pyeong was a small ball that when thrown, would become a tent around 1 pyeong in area size.
“It sounds like some kind of shelter creation spell.”
Adelia said as she stared at the Cozy 1-pyeong that had the shape of a ball made of leather.
Just as she said, it was an excellent magic shelter with many additional functions.
And the last one was an ancient medicinal drink.
Gaël and Adelia didn’t talk much about the specifics of the ancient medicinal drink.
Because it was an item related to Jude’s growth rather than for traveling convenience.
“Sho exciting. If Jude drinks this, he’ll grow stronger.”
Cordelia said with an innocent-looking face.
She was happy to see Jude get stronger since she helped him replace his equipment and so on.
Jude knew that Cordelia had more of a ‘raising a game character’ mentality, but it looked completely different to Gaël and Adelia.
‘Sigh, you love him that much?’
‘You really love him.’
She loved Jude that much to act and say it like that.
Gaël’s eyes were filled with happiness while Adelia also smiled as if she had no choice but to concede.
“Anyway, Jude, can I talk to you for a moment?”
Gaël told Jude when he had finished arranging their newly acquired items.
They had already discussed about their future plans, but this was to clarify some things.
“Yes, older brother.”
“Then let’s go out for a while and walk.”
Having said that, Gaël spoke to Adelia to excuse them for a moment and left the tent with Jude hurriedly following him.
“Eh…?”
But why do they have to go out?
Cordelia blinked her eyes as she looked back at Adelia before she unconsciously flinched.
Adelia was staring at her with a sharp look.
“U-unnie?”
“Let’s talk a bit too.”
Adelia grabbed the wrist of Cordelia who reflexively tried to get away, but she sat close to her younger sister and spoke.
“Cordelia, I’ve already told you that Lord Gaël and I will be moving separately from you.”
“Yes, but?”
“Jude and you will be going to the Sky Roof mountain range alone.”
“Yeees.”
Are you worried about the Sky Roof mountain range because of its rough terrain that even barbarians are reluctant to approach?
“Cordelia.”
“Yes, unnie.”
“You have to be careful.”
“Yes, I’ll be careful. I’m good at mountain climbing. I also have a Winter Protection so it wouldn’t be very cold for me.”
“No, not the mountain and the cold but Jude.”
“…Eh?”
Be careful of Jude? Why?
Cordelia tilted her head with an innocent face and Adelia frowned.
Adelia lamented the fact that she had to leave her gentle, kind, and innocent sister to a black-hearted man like Jude.
“So…”
And she whispered to Cordelia.
As Cordelia blankly listened, her face turned bright red.
“Got it? You should be careful, okay? You’re definitely engaged, but it’s still just an engagement, okay? You’re not married. Plus, you’re both minors. You understand what I’m saying, right?”
Adelia strictly warned Cordelia, but the latter thought she heard wrong.
No, what the heck are you talking about?
“No.”
Me and Jude?
M-me and Jude?
It was something unimaginable for her.
No, he’s definitely my fiancé and we’re engaged, but to do something like that with Jude…that’s something unimaginable.
“What do you mean by no?”
“No…that, that…that’s right! W-we’re not like that?”
Me and Jude?
Aren’t we just teasing and harassing each other?
Cordelia felt a strange sense of relief at the excuse she struggled to create, but not at all for Adelia.
She asked, snorting as if she found it absurd.
“Look at you. Then what in the world is between you two?”
“Eh?”
“I can’t live without Jude. I belong to Jude and Jude is mine.”
Her straightforward words made Cordelia turn even more red.
“N-no…that, that’s right…”
She couldn’t deny that because she had already said that.
In fact, the situation would have passed if she just said yes and that she would be careful, but Cordelia couldn’t say it well because her reasoning stopped. She then chose to counterattack to get over the situation.
“U-unnie too!”
“Eh?”
She just screamed that, but Adelia’s expression changed.
Cordelia, a combat genius, instinctively pierced that gap.
“Unnie, explain! Y-you and brother-in-law, Gaël!”
This time, it was Adelia’s face that turned red.
At any rate, Cordelia and Adelia resembled each other because they were sisters.
‘G-good. Counterattack success.’
It was when Cordelia breathed a sigh of relief.
“That…we…ahem, ahem, first of all, we’re both adults…”
Adelia slightly turned her head and quietly spoke while Cordelia blinked her eyes.
No, what the heck is unnie talking about now?
You’re both adults?
Adults?
“Wait a second, what is unnie’s relationship with brother-in-law Gaël?”
There was definitely a pink atmosphere between the two, but they weren’t like that when she first saw the two.
Cordelia hurriedly asked as she pulled her arm, and Adelia pretended to be a bit ignorant as she said with an indescribably sweet face, which was something her subordinates in the royal capital would have never imagined her doing so.
“Ah…with Mr. So-and-so, I’m not in a relationship, not in a relationship, not?”
