Tetem! Where are you?!

As soon as Merc entered the mansion, she began looking for human traces of Mana, but she couldnt discover any. This led her to believe that the Count had most likely burnt alongside the mansion. Hed undoubtedly concluded there was no way out and opted to end his life.

Dont drag Tetem into this for gods sake.

Although Merc recognized it was futile at this point, she couldnt help but be angry with the Count for kidnapping and dragging an innocent young girl into this.

Even after exploring the burning mansion for some longer, Merc was unable to locate Tetem. She discovered a slew of other individuals who had already been burned to a crisp, but Merc deduced by their physique that none of them was Tetem. However, based on this, Tetem was most likely already

Merc could only agonize at her own powerlessness.

So Tetem really is

Merc continued to look for a little longer even after saying that, but it was only a matter of time before the mansion collapsed altogether. And if that were to happen, not even Merc would be safe.

Shaking the suffocating thoughts aside, Merc turned around and headed for the exit before it was too late.

Ouch

Merc unconsciously came to a halt as she felt a sharp pain rush through her nape. She heard faint breathing from a nearby room at the same moment.

Am I imagining things?

Around Merc, the roars of blazing flames filled the air. She couldnt possibly have heard someone breathe. Even if she had, the room where the sound came from was engulfed in flames, with even flaming wood blocking the door.

It was easy to visualize a sea of flames within. Even if Merc checked, she understood it would be for naught.

It bothers me.

Even though Merc knew it was all for naught, she kicked away the flaming wood and opened the way. She was shocked to see that the inside wasnt as bad as she had anticipated.

Did the wood block the flames? Hm?

Mercs attention was drawn to one of the rooms corners, where she spotted a familiar silver hair and rushed towards it.

T-Tetem! Hey! Are you okay?!

Merc asked as she took Tetem into her arms.

Tetem appeared to be unconscious, but there were no visible wounds, and she appeared to have evaded the smoke and flames. She was completely unharmed. Merc was relieved, but she couldnt help but wonder why the soldiers outside hadnt sensed Tetems Mana. It was then that Merc spotted the Magic Stone around Tetems chest.

Wasnt this Magic Stone able to conceal Mana? What a troublesome thing

Merc was relieved to have found Tetem, but she couldnt help but wonder what would have happened if she hadnt. For the time being, Merc dashed for the mansions entrance, Tetem clutched in her arms.

On the way there, the ceilings edges and the pillars began to collapse, but Merc dodged all of them and managed to escape the sea of flames in the shortest time possible.

She was successful in getting Tetem out of the mansion.

What?!

A-A person came out!

The dukes soldiers, who had surrounded the area, were taken aback when the Merc emerged, rolling out of the mansion.

Given the conditions, they had probably believed that no one would survive.

Good grief. I didnt expect it to take so long, given that its you. You sure kept me on my toes.

Only one person came to welcome them in the midst of it all. It was Astard, who had his head tilted to one side. Merc shoved Tetem onto him, chuckling at Astards cheeky comment.

Phew. Im beat. Switch with me.

Hey! What are you Fine. Im glad that Tetem is safe. I wouldnt have had the courage to look the professor in the eyes if we had lost her.

I know, right? Still, Im glad that shes alright.

Count Fonans mansion ultimately succumbed to the flames and began to crumble while the two of them chatted. If Merc had been inside at this moment, she would have been in serious trouble.

Its amazing that you were able to save Tetem under these conditions. You certainly are an Eternal.

As he stood there watching the mansion burn to the ground, Astard murmured something shockingly honest. Due to her exhaustion, Merc was going to dismiss him when her attention was drawn to a familiar word, and she turned to face Astard.

Eternal You said that before too, didnt you? It happened in your room, I believe. What does it mean?

Oh, you didnt know? Since a long time, the Elf species into which you were reincarnated has been known as the Eternals. Their beauty is unrivaled, and their Mana far exceeds that of humans. They also do not age and live lengthy lives. Isnt Eternals a good nickname?

Thats racist.

Merc, who was now an Elf, stated with a bitter smile in response to Astards explanation.

Phew Even though we were unable to capture Count Fonan, we were at least able to get revenge for Doctor Glodel. Tetem is likewise safe, and the professors research most likely burnt along with the mansion, so it never made it to the Empire So I suppose this case is closed.

Merc remarked to Astard, who was carrying Tetem in his arms, while peering out the corner of her eye at the preoccupied Dukes men as if she were a passerby.

Even while Astard nodded, his expression soon became dissatisfied.

I suppose you might say that There are, nevertheless, many unanswered questions.

Unanswered questions?

Thats right. As I previously mentioned, we still dont know how the Count became aware of Tetem. We also dont know how he got past my barrier and kidnapped her while leaving that note. Theres also

Yea, it really does bother me, but the important thing is that we got Tetem back. Even if we dont know the answers to those questions, does it really matter now? We can think about it later if youre genuinely concerned.

I guess youre right.

Whatever techniques the Count had employed, the fact remained that Count Fonans kidnapping and plans had, in the end, failed. It could not have turned out any better.

Should we go back? Kenas probably going crazy by now. Astard said.

Can we? Dont you suppose the Dukes men would want to know what happened?

The Duke already knows everything we do. He can just contact us if the need arises. Id rather go home and let Tetem rest right now, dont you agree?

I guess youre right Lets go.

As a result, Merc and Astard maneuvered their way through the frantic soldiers and went home with Tetem, who remained unconscious.
