Chapter 24 (2/2)

Using the Separation Barrier shard as a knife, I cut through the ropes binding the children

One, two, three… So there’s a total of seven people

Boyce-kun fro them, but now that I think of it,I don’t know Boyce-kun’s characteristics

Judging frouys’ conversation, the other children have probably been abducted froe being the exception

It’s understandable, but everyone appears frightened

“……Melby”

“Understood You want ht?”

Melby, as invisible, showed herself to the children

Some of children looked at Melby in surprise but the others had vacant eyes and didn’t react

“La la la……♪”

While Melby was soothing the children with her song,

“Edgar-kun, can you deal with one of them?”

Julia-kaasan asks

Of course, it’s about the black-clad men

Having gags forced in theirtheir whole bodies bound and wrapped up, the two black-clad lare at Julia-kaasan and me in turn

As I write ♭ in the air,

“I can handle them both,”

I answer

When I casually raise Black A and B up with [Physics Magic], the black-clad men open their eyes wide in surprise

“Mum, take care of the children”

“Yeah, that’s right”

Muained their co

――We found out about this cave just past noon on the day I returned to the village with Melby

The search of the faeries, ell accustoraphy of the area, was precise On the other side of the mountain, they discovered soers didn’t dare approach

They were certain, due to the children inside

Furthermore, apparently faeries “can’t be seen by bad people” so there was no fear of being sensed by the men

If the villagers had gone to hunt in the forest, theand run away

Anyhow, Julia-kaasan decided to go rescue the children after receiving the information

I offered my help

I thought she would refuse, but Mum readily consented to my proposal unexpectedly

To Mum, I am both her own child as well as her disciple, and it seems that it is natural for a disciple to help their master

And so, Julia-kaasan and I headed to the cave where the men were――with no trouble, we secured the black-cladthe children

The cave was in a location that would take 2 hours to reach froait, so the return trip while cheering up the worn out children was a hassle

It was possible to transport everyone with [Physics Magic] if I felt inclined to, but doing that would cause an uproar so I restrained myself

Then again, Black-Garb A and B were being transported via [Physics Magic] so it really wouldn’t reat a difference anyway……

By the way,it was inevitable that ic] the entire time would consume MP, but I threw them once and reduced their round (dropping theh way of transporting theuys’ crimes, no one reprimanded me

Ah, as you ht expect, I requested and had Melby cure just the burns from《Flame Lance》

The two “evildoers” who couldn’t see faeries seeh

Thus, I harboured slight feelings of guilt for not carrying the children, but the children walked without much complaint thanks to Julia-kaasan and Melby’s efforts

The subordinate(?) faeries that Melby had su

Melby can use [Spirit Magic] so she would iot injured

Before I knew it, Melby started being called “Big Sister” not only from the faeries, but also from the children

And then, when the children learned a few of the faeries’ songs, we finally e

“――Boyce-kun!”

“Aino-chan!”

As we arrived at the village, Aino-chan, who had been tired of waiting, ca over

And――Oh, so you’re Boyce-kun

In contrast with the lively and adorable Aino-chan, Boyce-kun seemed quiet

Somehow, I felt like future Boyce-kun would be henpecked

The spokesman and Boyce-kun’s father (Bolbo-san, I think) and his wife bowed their heads to Mum many times

Beside them, Aino-chan lead Boyce-kun and came before Melby, and they also bowed many times

I think she’s around five years old, but she’s a considerably irl

The re looked after by Riverette Village’s village chief and the spokes

Of course, it was only “for the ties to convey that we are sheltering thechildren, and have people come to claim them

They should have been uneasy being separated from their parents but thanks to the faeries, the children see fun instead

It ood for their parents who, I expect, are worried but it’s better than the as they wait

The black-clad htly and locked up so they can’t escape

Dad’s subordinate knight should be co them over to him

Well, I have [Appraisal] so the black clad ht

I also found out quite a lot but…… I’ll compile that information later

――Like this, although a fewchildren which occurred in Riverette Village (and the neighbouring villages) has been resolved
