A Sword Master Childhood Friend Power Harassed Me Harshly, So I Broke Off Our Relationship And Make A Fresh Start At The Frontier As A Magic Swordsman - 116 80

Welcome back. Do you have any new information?

Noelia and Susana greeted me as I returned from gathering information.

”No, not particularly ……. However, the human hunting seems to have subsided, and I didn’t see any suspicious figures in this vicinity.

‘I see. ……’

So, have Noelia and the others made any progress?

I had Noelia tie a letter describing the current situation here to the demon bird’s leg and have her fly me to Yuguhanotes.

Since the distance between this Devon village and the Yuguhanotes is quite far, they can’t share sight or hearing, and it seems that they can only do their best to tell you where to go.

However, he had managed to succeed in his long-distance mission by receiving various advice from Sinzia, the user of the emissary magic.

”Yes, I can say that there was. The messenger I had sent to your father came back with a letter.

Noelia, who had been forced to concentrate for a long time, looked a little disheveled.

I’ve been forced to concentrate for the past ten days or so.

There wouldn’t be a single moment of rest so as not to break the connection with the messenger.

I’ll need to rest for a while to get in shape.

It’s a good thing that you’re able to have a good idea of what to expect.

It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for when you’re in the market.

‘That’s good to hear. I’m sure you’re quite tired from the long-distance messenger magic, so Noelia should take a break and rest for a while. You look a bit pale, you know.

I took the letter Noelia was offering me and bent down to her short head position and looked into her ice blue eyes.

‘No, this much is fine. I’m an adventurer myself, so my condition is–‘

Noelia had fallen toward me as she said.

‘Look, you’re wobbling around like this, and you need to get a good rest. I’ll continue to gather information for you.

‘S-Sorry. I didn’t expect to wander off like this: ……

”Noelia is also licking her emissary magic! Concentration of the mind is more taxing on the body than consuming large amounts of magic, so you should rest for a while like Flick said!

Before I knew it, Cinzia, who had been dwelling in my cloak, was circling above Noelia’s head as she jumped out.

‘Master Cinzia is right. Susana, will you prepare Noelia’s bed?

Yes, I’m already prepared.

Susana opened the door and there was a futon on the bed provided at the back of the room.

‘Then I’ll carry it up there. Is that okay?

‘What?　Oh, oh, um!　It’s okay!　And I can walk by myself!

‘No, in his current state, he might collapse on the way or something. Let me carry him.

I picked up Noelia, who was leaning against me, a little too forcefully and carried her to the bed at the back of the room and put her down.

Noelia, lying on the bed, turns bright red and mutters to herself.

‘Oh, thank you ……. And, but I’m also a good adult at least, so sometimes I feel …… embarrassed or something.

Sheesh: …….

This might have been the kind of response I would have given to a younger kid.

Come to think of it, Noelia was the same age as me.

When I thought of that, the thought came to me that what I had done was very embarrassing to her.

”Gee, I’m sorry!　But you look a little tired, so take care of yourself–

I know, sir. Master Fricke is a very gentle man. Yes, he’s a gentle man.

Noelia looked sad for a moment and then hid her face under the covers as it was.

‘I’m really …… sorry.’

I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I quietly closed the door to the room with Noelia’s bed and walked out.

”Master Flick, please don’t mind me saying that that was just Miss Noelia’s embarrassment. I am not accustomed to interacting with the lords of my generation.

Susana was throwing comforting words at me as I stepped outside.

‘Is that how it’s supposed to be?　Didn’t my actions ruin her face or something?

I wasn’t expecting that. ‘Yes, it’s all right. I have served by your side all my life, and I can assure you of that.

I found myself feeling a bit relieved that Susana had assured me that Noelia wasn’t offended by my actions.

‘Oh God, you’re so stubborn! You’re young, it’s momentum. Momentum. I’m sure you can get away with it. Ah!　Don’t eat it!　Dimol, let me go!

Syntzia, who was flying above, said something to me, but I could see her being preyed upon and taken away by the swooping Dimol.

‘Well, Noelia-sama is off, and I must tell you the contents of the letter sent to me by your husband.

Susana and I moved into another room and decided to examine the contents of the letter brought to us by Lloyd the frontier count.

When I read the letter that was handed to me, my hand trembled at the fact that it contained a tremendous amount of facts.

The contents were very briefly written: …….

It seems to mean that there is a high probability of Gilet’s involvement as far as it goes.

The fact is, since the frontier count is also under surveillance, the details will be provided to those who are familiar with the facts discovered over there.

This is …… a serious matter for the kingdom, after all. ……

Yes, Sir, you have long been suspicious of Lord Giles’ call for a reduction in the Abyss Walker budget, but if he was the one running the Abyss Walkers, it makes sense.

But no way, he’s the head of the Kingsguard, and his father is a great noble …… who is even the vizier. No matter how corrupt the aristocracy is, that’s still ……

Since the Radcliffe family was originally the aristocracy that benefited the most from the Great Raid, it’s not surprising that that family would try for a second time: ……

Susana, who was familiar with the affairs of the aristocracy in many ways, wrinkled her brow and was indignant.

Normally you wouldn’t think of causing chaos in the kingdom and taking advantage of that chaos to increase your own power.

Moreover, the Radcliffe family is the second largest aristocrat after the royal family.

The king has a lot of trust in them, so why …….

I’ve learned that the backbone of the kingdom we live in is secretly shaken.

”Anyway, until someone arrives who knows more about the situation, we’ll continue to gather information, and in some cases, we may have to do something about the mine as well.

I suppose so. I don’t think we can leave it at that, and I don’t think the Radcliffe family will have an easy time crushing it if they find out that the frontier county is involved in this situation.

As I was talking to Susana like this, I heard the village suddenly become noisy.

‘Oh, hey!　Marko!　Marco’s back!

I got it fixed up, but it’s a mess!　We need to get that wound looked at right away!

“Get me Chief Eugene!　Also, go get Master Fricke, and ask for some recovery magic at once!

The voices outside grew louder and louder, and soon the door of the house I was in was knocked on, and the villagers were calling out to me with their blood on their hands.

Mr. Fricke, there’s an injured man here. Could you take a look at him at once?

I’ve been working as a Tsuji healer, healing villagers’ injuries and illnesses with the recovery magic that Noelia had taught me.

The healing process was a good lubricant for gathering information, and the villagers were becoming more and more open to talking to me.

I’m going to take a look at the wounded man in the village. I’ll see what I can do. Susana, see to it that Noelia is okay.

‘Yes, sir. If you ever need to treat an injured person in earnest, please bring them here.

Yeah, okay. I’m out.

I opened the door with a thump and decided to go check on the injured man in response to the villagers’ call.
