Chapter 383 - Episode Twenty-Nine - Each One's Movement (2) (Side: Gizel)

“We took a very long way around, but somehow we got here ……”

Gizel, Shibi, and Lil, the three Marren tribesmen, had finally arrived at the Russell village, where Lark, the lord of the f.a.ge territory, lived.

It was already the time of day when the color of the sky was changing from dusk to dark.

Gizel was hurrying them along, so the journey was quite a hard schedule, and Shibi and Lil were exhausted.

“We’re finally here where Abel-san is at, huh. You’ve given us a lot of trouble, haven’t you? We should also ask Abel-san to help us search for Firo-san, who has wandered off.”

Shibi said wearily.

“Not yet, Shibi-san. Brother Abel might run away again, so we catch him be surprise ……”

Gizel’s shoulders twitched at Lil’s words.

Shibi covered Lil’s mouth with his hand as quickly as he could.

“Mhmm”

“W-Wait, Lil-chan, don’t say anything that will provoke Gizel-chan’s trauma ……”

Shibi whispered to Lil

Lil nodded her head and made a cross with her hand.

“…… It’s okay, Lil-chan. I’m sure my brother was just a little startled. He just can’t come back because he doesn’t have the face to show.”

Gizel said to herself.

“Y-You’re right. …… I’m sorry I said something weird ……”

Lil’s twitchy smile is the only way to cover it up.

“Yes, that’s right. That’s what Sim-san said to me. So it is. Sim-san always tells me the right thing to do, so it must be true.”

Gizel hugged the grimoire in her hands and said with a look of ecstasy

“…… Shibi-san, are you sure that grimoire is safe?”

Lil asked Shibi in a whisper.

He gently looked away and pretended not to hear.

“Shibi-san?”

To be honest, Shibi also felt something disturbing about the grimoire sim.

However, he had no idea what to do about it, since Gizel never listened to him and she always carried it with her or couldn’t find it anywhere when she couldn’t see Gizel.

However, he thought that if he could meet up with Abel, he would be able to take it away and have it burned down, so there was no need to rush into action.

At any rate, Shibi was confident that if Abel would take a look at it and if he found it dangerous, he would dispose of it on the spot.

“A-Anyway, let’s look for Abel-san? There’s a guy coming from over there. Let’s just ask him!”

Shibi said and walked forward.

There were three sorcerers coming from the front.

They were all wearing robes of the same color, and it was apparent from their appearance that they belonged to the same organization.

There were two men and a short woman who looked like a Noir.

“I can’t believe the Commander ran away …… I thought he wasn’t interested in humans. He was an amazingly talented sorcerer, personality aside, but I wonder if he’ll be okay here.”

“…… I think I’ll be fine with him not coming back for another month, since he’s already on it.”

One of the men said, and the other responded in a small voice.

When Shibi overheard the conversation, he had a bad feeling about it.

“W-Well, I understand how you feel, but when I saw the vice-deputy commander Alta-san crying that all development of the territory had been stopped, I couldn’t stand it. Oh, but did you find a lot of handover doc.u.ments?”

“…… Ah, I helped, but I couldn’t decipher any of it.”

The Noir woman interjected.

“Oh, I knew it ……”

“He believes that if he can understand it, others can understand it, after all……”

The three of them let out a sigh in unison, and silence enveloped them.

“…………”

Shibi listened to the three of them talking in bits and pieces, and had already lost most of his interest in asking questions about Abel.

In all likelihood, the three of them are talking about an excellent sorcerer, but he has a personality problem, he doesn’t seem to be interested in people in the first place, and he believes that what he understands, others understand as well, so I could only think that Abel was the annoying “Commander” who ran off with a woman, abandoned the territory and ran away.

He wasn’t sure yet, but he was pretty sure of it.

Shibi stepped back as far as he had stepped forward and met up with Gizel and the others without asking any questions.

He didn’t want to hear any more about the “Commander” they were talking about.

Not only had they moved further from Russell Village in the f.a.ge territory, where Shibi and the others had finally arrived after much effort, but they had also clearly eloped.

It was a taboo subject for Gizel, no matter how hard he tried.

He doesn’t know what he should say to her.

Inwardly, he was thinking to Abel, “Seriously, please stop it already”.

He’s getting to the point where he can’t easily forgive him by cutting cross.

“Shibi-san, what’s wrong?”

Gizel asked curiously.

“Nothing, u-um, I, I just have a very bad feeling about this. For today, let’s just get an inn and rest! That’s what we should do! I beg you, please do so!”

“…hmm? Could it be someone from the Commander’s hometown? The atmosphere, or more like, their appearance looks a lot like him.”

The trio sorcerers happened to be coming towards Shibi and his friends, and they called out cheerfully from the other side.

This was the moment when the Abel = Commander theory was clearly confirmed in Shibi’s mind by their comments.

Shibi felt dizzy and held his head.

“Brother …… are you talking about my brother, Abel?”

The sorcerer man smiled shyly as Gizel closed in on him.

“So you’re his sister. I had no idea that the Commander had such a beautiful sister.”

Shibi was secretly reminding him not to say anything unnecessary.

“It’s just a shame that the …… commander took a girl and ran away. There was no mention of where he was going, and there was no telling when he would be back.”

Gizel’s expression quickly disappeared.

Shibi covered his face with his hands.

“When did this happen?”

Gizel asked in a cold voice.

“Eh, ah, no, it was just three days ago …… Oh, by the way, there is a girl from the Marren tribe who came to see the Commander, just like you girls. I think her name is Firo. Do you know her?”

“Ohhh, so Firo-san arrived here first.”

Shibi breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought the situation was terrible, but it was better that Firo had been found.

“…… When did this Firo-san arrived at this village?”

“Uh …… about a week ago?”

The air in the room froze.

It was clear that Abel had met Firo before he left the f.a.ge territory.

“Well, you can ask her about the details. Since you’re here, I’ll show you where that girl is.”

“…… Thank you very much. Please take me to where Firo-san is.”

Gizel replied to the man with a doll-like smile.

Shibi watched clearly as Gizel’s fingernails dug into the grimoire Sim.
