Chapter 392 - Episode Thirty-Eight - The King of Destruction (1)

For a period of time, the port city of Radam was in turmoil.

It was no surprise. A powerful sphere appeared in the sky and suddenly unleashed indiscriminate petrification magic.

I pretended to be ignorant and immediately left the scene, and in the end, the ident.i.ty of Sim was not known.

Although it was some kind of mysterious demon attack that caused a great deal of commotion, the s.h.i.+ps departure was delayed by only two hours because there was almost no harm done and it was a matter of great importance to the merchants profits.

Im sorry, even though you came for me, s.h.i.+bi, and Lil-chan. Id better get going.

Lil, who is a Marren from a family of fortune tellers, was glaring at me with a scowl.

I dont think weve ever met before, but she didnt seem too happy about it.

s.h.i.+bi also let out a deep sigh.

I understand whats going on but what will I say to Gizel-chan when she wakes up

I dont have a choice, you know? As I said before, Im currently being eyed by Peter, who controls this country, Kudor, the guardian G.o.d, and Count Julem, who is meddling in politics here and there. Im sorry, but Im going to have to leave this country until the heat dies down.

I dont know about the people themselves, but I do know that Abel-san has been hurling fireb.a.l.l.s in all directions as usual. Ahhhh in the village, it would have been just the Karlco family, but since you went out, you keep picking fights in a strange place

s.h.i.+bi looks at me with disgusted eyes.

Its not that Ive done anything wrong, you know?

Its just a result of them coming from the other side and pus.h.i.+ng us into a corner.

Just in case Ill leave you with three guard Ortems, so please try to stay as far away from me. Count Julems group may come again.

I respond by lightly tossing the Sim stone into the air and playing with it.

I picked up the stone and put it in my pocket.

To be honest, I could have just crushed it and thrown it away, but Ill keep it just in case I can use it for something else.

Once again, even though its for the second time, thank you, Elia-san.

I said goodbye to Elia for the second time.

I wanted to do the same for Shame, but in the midst of the mysterious demon fiasco, I realized that she had disappeared before I knew it.

I tried to find her, but I had no clue whatsoever. I thought she would show up while I was having a discussion with Gizel first, but she never showed up until the end.

She was a strange person too.

I wondered if she had some urgent business to attend to.

I hope she wasnt involved in something strange

I heard a voice from inside the boat telling me that it was time to leave.

I stretched a bit and looked towards the city.

Abel-san, Big Sister Gizel is resting at the inn, so she cant come. Ive already said h.e.l.lo, so Im going back.

Lil says with narrowed eyes.

Oh, yeah

In the two hours before the s.h.i.+p sails, I told Gizel face to face what I thought and where I was at.

I was prepared for the possibility that she would insist that I follow her Gizel seemed to think that Sim had used her to almost kill me, and she backed down easily, as if that was still on her mind.

But the fact that I clearly denied Gizels wish and the heartbreak caused by Sims betrayal seemed to have exhausted her mentally, and she said she was going to rest in her bed at the inn right away and didnt even come out to see me off.

Big Sister Gizel said it very clear that she would not go to see you off because it is too painful.

Lils voice was cold.

I, I see I-, Im sorry.

No, Its not like apologizing to me will do anything is what I feel, though.

Tha-, thats right

This girl is scary

No, I know its mostly my fault, but

Both Mea and Elia look terribly uncomfortable.

When I was about to board the s.h.i.+p, I saw Gizel from a distance, half-hiding behind a wall, watching me.

G-Gizel!

I ran to Gizel without thinking.

I saw Lil glaring at me with a horrible look on her face.

Bro-, brother

Gizel looked at me with tears in her eyes.

I gently placed my hand on Gizels head.

Im sorry, Gizel. Im sure Ill be back before too long.

Yes, brother. Ill be waiting for you forever.

There was a little silence.

Um are you sure you dont want her to follow you?

Its not that I want to take her with me, but I knew that Gizels personality would insist on it.

You might regret that later. But for now, I cant seem to separate the two.

Gizel looked behind me.

From some distance away, I could see Mea looking at me anxiously.

Y-, Youre right. Im sorry

I bowed my head.

As I was about to board the s.h.i.+p, s.h.i.+bi stuck out his thumb and pointed his arm at me.

Its okay, Abel-san! Ill make Gizel-chan happy!

s.h.i.+bi

I thought about it for a moment, and then gently made a cross with my arm.

Sorry, I still dont want s.h.i.+bi to be my brother-in-law.

Why! It wasnt to be a flow you would say no! So why!

I also dont like the idea of s.h.i.+bi-san getting together with Big Sister Gizel.

L-Lil-chan!?

-This is how I left the port city of Radam.

The only thing left to do is to board the s.h.i.+p and head for the Galshard Kingdom.

There, Peter cant reach me, and Kudor cant make a move.

The only problem is Count Julem.

Sim had spilled the beans that Gillemeims research is being done in the Galshard Kingdom.

I was not listening too closely because I was too busy with that, and now that I think about it, I think it was a shame, but Anyway, there is no doubt that they have roots in the Galshard Kingdom.

However, that much was expected beforehand.

I dont know if the Great Spirit Sim, who seems to be Count Julems companion, will see it as a loss to get involved with me now that Ive defeated him and back off, or if hell mark me even more and attack me harder.

As I walked on deck alongside Mea to take a look at the ocean, I was called out from the side.

Mea-chan, Abel-chan.

I looked over to see Shame leaning her back against the deck railing.

Hey.

What, so its Shame.

I smiled and let it go, then remembered the obvious: I was supposed to leave her in Radam.

What is Shame doing here!?

Shame-san, where have you been when I thought I couldnt find you!?

Both Mea and I were indeed surprised.

I thought she had suddenly disappeared, but I had no idea that he had gotten on the boat first.

Fufu~n, I wanted to surprise you. I secretly told them about it and they agreed to let me in. Ive always wanted to go out of the country, and Im worried about what Abel-chan might do out there.

Shame looks at me with a meaningful smile on her face.

I-Its not like I plan to do anything strange.

But, are you sure about it? Shame-san, you said that you couldnt use magic that well, and theyre out of escort role so it must have cost a lot of money.

Its okay, I had a lot of money. And Im just going to do what I want to do.

Shame smiles cheekily.
