Chapter 89

Kaden slowly approached Shion and handed over the letter.

Zion guessed who sent the letter and took it slowly.

Harnette just watches the scene, seized with tension.

“It sounds like you are telling me to choose a purple shrine.”

“It’s because you don’t have enough faith in me… Did you learn how to draw well?”

“I learned, but not very useful.”

It wasn’t to the point of being very unusable.

Even if the movement speed is faster, it will be useful.

However, I hadn’t gotten used to the footwork yet, and I didn’t know if I could apply it to my swordsmanship.

“… The purple shrine uses a bow. It won’t help you.”

“Even if you use a bow, you will be prepared for close combat. The purple shrine looks better to me.”

“You mean you only want to learn skills related to fighting?”

“Then what else can I learn? I cannot be your disciple.”

Harnette quietly overhears the conversation and flinches at the moment.

Needless to say, becoming a disciple of Cettinos Quasar was not an easy task.

He himself became a disciple as a member of the Rivdad Society, but otherwise he would have to go through a difficult process.

“Can you be so merciless? Are you underestimating me?”

“I have no intention of underestimating. The title of Cetinos Quasar must be acknowledged. But I don’t see anything more than that. I have a goal that I pursue on my own.”

Shion calmly replied, conscious of Hanette beside him.

To be clear, I didn’t want to be taught by any of the Cetinos quasars.

If it was a golden swordsman, he would think about it a little bit, but if the conditions didn’t follow, he just gave up without hesitation.

For him, there was nothing more important than Hanette’s growth and the alliance with the main character.

“A goal is… … .”

Kaden smiles as he instinctively finds the target.

As expected, Shion Regiard had romance and was well qualified to become his disciple.

Only those who have noble and sincere feelings can do the right thing.

If he had come to the remote area with his beloved, he would have made that resolution firmly.

“It’s a bit unfortunate, but… It would be right for me to give up.”

Kaden burrows into the darkness and even erases its form.

Even though I couldn’t take him as a disciple, it didn’t mean that my interest was gone.

If something happens to happen later, I might be able to invite you again.

“I will wait until tomorrow morning. Until then, you can accept the reply letter. After that, you will have to send it yourself, right?”

Kaden finally disappeared after saying that.

Shion senses that the presence has disappeared and belatedly reaps the acid rain.

“What happened? Are you a disciple?”

“It’s no big deal. I just turned it down.”

“Why are you turning it down? The Cetinos quasar will teach you a good technique… … .”

“Just because it’s good technology doesn’t mean it’s good for me. For example… What do you think it will be like if your sister learns the sex law?”

“that’s… … .”

When I thought about it, it didn’t seem that Zion’s words were wrong.

Just because he was a silver phantom thief, he couldn’t teach Shion swordsmanship.

At least if he knew how to increase the amount of mana or use mana efficiently, wouldn’t Shion have tried to learn it somehow?

“The purple shrine is the same. It’s better than the silver phantom thief, but I don’t know if it will help me. If you want to know for sure, you should check this letter.”

Zion looks down at the letter and infers its contents.

He probably wasn’t trying to warn himself or punish himself.

However, it would be a bit embarrassing if it contained instructions to join the knights under his command or to receive instruction.

“Are you getting attention?”

“If it were me, it would have received less attention.”

“… Could it be that I am also included?”

“Your sister isn’t normal either.”

“Well… … .”

Hannette pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The daughter of the Duke of Adelaira, a disciple of Setinos Quasar, a wizard with the title of a mage, and the fiancé of Shion Regard.

No matter which way it was approached, other parts were bound to be highlighted.

“So what are you going to do?”

“In this case, you just have to politely decline.”

“Can you really do that? It’s the Cetinos Quasar.”

“We are the children of dukes and marquesses. I can’t touch you carelessly.”

“… … .”

Harnette had experienced it herself, so she couldn’t help but know.

The fact that nobles couldn’t call her a foolish young lady in front of her and that the blue sage respected her was only possible because her father had the title of duke.

If the title of duke had not been granted, would the lords of castles in the remote areas have come out to meet them one by one and tried to provide convenience?

‘Is that what you’re thinking? Is that right?’

* * *

Theroden Castle, the barracks of the Silage Knights.

Enritte comes out alone from the barracks and looks up at the night sky.

Although it looked dark, it had a deep blue color.

Stars interspersed between them constantly twinkle, creating a cozy landscape.

‘It’s going well.’

I already had a conversation with Shion Reggieard about concluding an alliance, and Hannette Adelara gave a positive opinion.

After seeing the battle of the Knights of Lihines, Serran Silages and the Knights decided that it would be better to maintain friendly relations.

Perhaps tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the definite results will come out.

‘Combining the Knights into one… … .’

Enrite had been thinking about him all along, but she felt it was too early.

Alliances are temporary, but once merged, they cannot be reversed.

Above all, a hasty merger could have ruined things.

‘He handles the acid lane well. I’ll be able to see the magic sword of flame soon.’

Until then, I was worried, but Shion Regiard worked beyond expectations.

If he hadn’t lost his sanity despite wearing full-body armament, it would have meant that he had become the true master of the acid rain.

Hanette Adelaira has just started using the flame magic sword, so wouldn’t it be possible to show its true value later?

“… Silver, how long are you going to hide?”

Arriving at a place where no one goes, Enrite murmured quietly.

Then, light footsteps spread out along with faint magic power.

“I was going to wait until you came to a quieter place.”

Caden leaned against the wall and replied leisurely.

Enrite slowly turns her back and meets Caden’s gaze.

“What happened to you this time?”

“Oh, I didn’t come to see you. Since you were here at the moment, I wanted to say hello.”

Enrite immediately recognized the purpose of Kaden’s visit.

It was probably that someone more valuable than himself had a business.

“Did you come because of Shion Regard?”

“Oh, you know?”

“I can’t know. Didn’t you tell yourself you were interested?”

“I just gave you a letter from Jasaek. Why did you send the letter?”

Enrite is a little surprised and questioning.

The silver phantom thief had already said that he would take Shion Regard as his disciple.

If the purple shrine sent a letter personally, wouldn’t it have a similar intention?

“Are you trying to raise Shion Regard as a disciple?”

“Well… maybe a little different? He said he would keep it for a while.”

“… Aren’t they the same thing?”

“I thought the same way as you, but it seems a little different. If it wasn’t for you, it wouldn’t be.”

Enritte thinks about him and then shakes it off.

He couldn’t intervene with the purple shrine.

Because he was a member of Setinos Quasar and also his colleague.

However, if that caused problems in the alliance with Shion Regard, wouldn’t it be better to step in directly?

“Didn’t you also come to meet Shion Reggierd?”

“Because of purple, we had a reason to meet.”

“Didn’t you say you would take them as disciples?”

“Well… that would be a bit difficult I’ve already said no.”

Enrite was relieved internally, but did not show emotion.

Shion Reggieard was a swordsman, so he would show a lot of interest in swordsmanship and magic.

However, the silver phantom thief only focused on stealth and speed, so its value was relatively low.

“Should I listen to you now?”

“… Are you asking why you are with Shion Regard?”

“It seems like we’ve become quite close while I’m gone… … .”

“We are preparing to form an alliance with Shion Regard.”

“What are you going to do with an alliance?”

“I can’t stand up and fight, so I’m trying to get a strong ally.”

Enritte was open about her goals.

As long as the existence of the demonic sword is not mentioned, there is no problem even if the overall flow is revealed.

In addition, since he could only use the Holy Law when he was human, he had to secure allies who could fight together.

“If you’re looking for a strong ally, can’t you approach Setinos Quasar and the other knights?”

“… You are strong, but you cannot help but be entangled. The other knights move according to their own circumstances. It doesn’t help me.”

“hahahaha! It’s pretty straightforward.”

Kaden laughed and took it for granted.

Enrite spoke only the theorem, and many Cetinos quasars, including himself, could not deny it.

In the first place, Setinos Quasar was a knight under the direct command of the king, and he would only act for the kingdom of Alain.

The other knights pursued their own interests, so Enrite wouldn’t act the way he wanted.

“I don’t think His Majesty the King will help me. You too.”

“I haven’t heard from you asking for help yet.”

“If it’s a mission given by His Majesty the King, we can request support. But it has nothing to do with him, so I have to deal with it myself.”

“You live a very boring life, too. Could you try talking to me?”

“You and I are bound by the Cetinos quasar. I couldn’t ask for more.”

“Hmm… Could blue or purple help you?”

“Maybe I can help you for a moment. But what I need is not a moment.”

Enrite answered coldly and did not even give a word.

Setinos Quasar was stronger than anyone else, but escaped fate.

If we join forces, we may be able to annihilate the 3 demon kings and the 4 great disasters, but we cannot destroy the immortality they possess.

Even if he told me the secret about the magic sword, could he not be swayed by desire?

‘Human beings have no choice but to be swayed by desire.’

Not everyone made the right choice just because they became the owner of a demonic sword.

Those who threaten this world, those who want to rule over humans, those who are possessed by madness, those who blindly believe in the power of the demonic sword and are conceited.

That’s why he tried to find another countermeasure while aiming to collect all the demonic swords.

‘Shion Reggieard might be the person I’ve been looking for. Aren’t you suppressing the acid rain?’
