EP16. Spear of Cadeus

As Shaun walked down Calderon, he saw Levy snooping behind him and asked a question.

“Why? What did you leave behind?”

“Kyungi won’t follow me…”

“Well, since he lives here, he will stay and live.”

“No! You said you were going to come with us.”

He didn’t know this at all, but Levy said it anyway, so Sean decided to go ahead with it. Even if he has a nasty side, it’s not that I don’t like it, it’s definitely helpful.

“Shall we go back to the forge now?”

“Um… Should I?”

Just as Levy was contemplating what to do, he heard the sound of running from afar, hurting the snow.

It was a very familiar sound. I had been listening to it all the way back to the smithy looking for the meteorite.

“Kyun!”

Kyuk, who was running in the form of a wolf from afar, found Levi’s group and headed for them.

Levy warmly welcomed Kwyn, who returned just in time. She returned as a little fox and licked Levi’s cheek in return for an answer.

Looking at her, Elsa patted Sean on the side and whispered.

“Are you not jealous anymore?”

“Why would I do that to a fox that is not even human?”

“That means you will be jealous of people.”

Sean imagined for a moment at Elsa’s words. However, since Kyun is a female, it is only in the imagination of a woman. What if some woman clung to Levi’s side and acted friendly?

That’s not much of a problem, but isn’t it normal for cheek licking to look weird if it’s not a beast in the first place? If he did, there was a good chance Sean would frown on him. It will never look good.

It’s ambiguous to call it jealousy, but it won’t make you feel comfortable.

“・・・・Don’t say anything strange.”

Sean, upset by his useless imagination, only grumbled at Elsa.

“Then, Kyun is here too, so let’s start now.”

“Yes. Let’s go!”

Levy moved her steps again, holding her in her arms.

“Kyu-ah. We ask well.”

“Queup.”

After answering her girl, the fox stuck her head out and looked at the scenery behind her footprints for a while.

Calderon had a cold blizzard as always.

She slowly closed her eyes, thinking of her own old friend.

So beside her new friend, the fox fell soundly asleep.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Fortunately, I didn’t run into any monsters when I came down.”

“It’s a little regretful, isn’t it? I was trying to test the performance of the sword.”

Sean said while looking at the sword hanging from his waist. Although there was little difference in appearance from before, in reality, it was embarrassingly superior compared to most famous swords, so it was not strange to want to try it.

“Monster, won’t you come face to face anytime? There is no need to test it in the dangerous Calderon.”

“Yes, yes.”

If you think about it, there were quite a few dangerous situations in Calderon.

When he met Cyclops, he surely couldn’t have survived if Kün hadn’t helped him in time.

It was the same in the battle with the golem. Unaware that the golem reflects her magic, he might have been pierced by Levi’s beam and killed if Kün hadn’t avoided her bite.

Thinking that way, I realized all over again that Küng, who had fallen asleep in Levi’s arms, was the savior of his life.

“Then let’s stay overnight in the village like we did when we came and leave the next day.”

“Good.”

After coming down from the mountain and entering the village, an old man appeared and greeted them as before.

“Welcome. These are the people I saw a while ago.”

“I’m on my way to meet the elder at the blacksmith’s shop.”

At Elsa’s answer, the old man raised his eyes in surprise for a moment, then replied with a warm smile.

“Looks like you got the equipment too. Great.”

“Can you arrange a place to stay for one night like last time?”

“Of course. Come here.”

The old man who guided me to the same room as the inn where we stayed before going up the mountain soon lowered his head and said.

“Is the old man at peace?”

“Hmm. You are very correct.”

“I’m glad. The Calderon is so steep that it is difficult for us to climb it. I have no choice but to wait for it to come down from above.”

At the old man’s words, Shawn asked him.

“Wait for him to come down, does that mean Taihu climbs up and down the mountain himself?”

“No. There is a lady who goes to and from the mountain in place of the elder.”

“Really? Where is that woman…?”

Sean, who had no memory of seeing the young woman in town, asked a puzzled question.

“My lady is not staying here. She stays on top of the mountain. I know she usually spends a lot of time with the elders.”

“Uh… We’ve never seen anyone else in the forge.”

“Well, I don’t know that far. Maybe it overlapped with the time when the lady was absent because of her circumstances.”

Soon, Shawn nodded her head in agreement. Seeing that she is called a young lady, it is true that she is a young woman, but if she stays with Tae-ho as a friend even though there is a big age difference between her and her, isn’t she an ordinary person even if she is called a young lady?

I wanted to see it once, but it was already late, so I had no choice but to promise the next time.

“Then I hope you rest in peace.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

After the old man left, the group unpacked their belongings and began to rest.

Just in time to wake up from her slumber, Kün yawned loudly and Levy playfully put her fingers in her gaping mouth.

When her yawn was over and she felt a foreign body closing her mouth, she immediately opened her mouth and spat out her fingers.

“Hey.”

And Sean, who was watching such a scene in disbelief, just said to Levi.

“If you bite it, it will bleed.”

“It’s okay! Kyun doesn’t bite me. I don’t know about Sean.”

“That’s right… It sounds plausible.”

It was still too early to go to sleep, but there was nothing to go out and do. Therefore, we decided to spend the remaining time and talk about our future schedule.

“Um… Then, what will Elsa do?”

“What do you mean?”

“From now on. Will you join us on the way to Vitalua?”

Currently, a splendid window was hidden on Shaun’s back, wrapped in luxurious fabric.

According to Taeho’s request, Sean intended to deliver this spear to Cadeus in Vitalua.

Of course, Levy will be with Shawn, and Küng, who followed Levy, will accompany him.

Then what about Elsa?

She said Sean’s question with a slightly disgruntled look on her face.

“This is disappointing. Are you sure you don’t want me to be with you?”

“・・・・Yes? No!”

“Shaun. Too bad. How could you do that to Elsa!”

When Levy joined in and took Elsa’s side and scolded Sean, he expressed his resentment.

“Because it is not. I was just asking…”

“Whoops, it’s a joke. Don’t believe it won’t happen, of course. And, of course, we intend to be together. Wasn’t it the same for me who received the equipment from the elder?”

Levy said with a smile at Elsa’s answer.

“Good! hehehe.”

“I like it too. Do you hate Sean?”

“····No, of course it’s good.”

As Sean replied, he stared at Elsa for a moment. Noticing his gaze, Elsa smiled viciously and began teasing the boy again.

“Oops. Your eyes are so hot I can’t imagine having two women at the same time…”

“Shaun!”

“····Please don’t keep swearing!”

At Levy’s cry, Sean tried to avoid his gaze. Then he managed to bring out the question he had barely wanted to ask.

“I have a question, but… What the hell is Elsa doing?”

“Your question is very subtle. What do you want to ask specifically?”

“You know what I mean by the question. I don’t know if it’s the right expression, but the way he speaks is very classy, he knows a lot, he has a strange overflow of money, and even Taeho seems to know Elsa.”

Combining these points, it would be hard for anyone to call her an ordinary adventure. In particular, isn’t it too strange that Taeho, the owner of Starry Sky Blacksmith, who is definitely visiting for the first time, knows an adventurer?

Then there was only one answer that came to mind.

A woman named Elsa has an identity that she is hiding something before she is an adventurer.

It was too curious a topic to simply ask and move on. Now that it has been confirmed that the future journey will be together for a while, maybe this is a great opportunity to ask questions.

As if Levy had the same question, and maybe she was curious about what Elsa would say, she was still waiting for her mouth to open.

As Elsa faced the intense stares of the two, she smiled as if she was embarrassed.

She then let out a small sigh and she finally opened her mouth.

“Yes. She thought she would have to tell me someday.”

She replied with a sweep of her beautiful red hair.

“Tell me who I am. I am····.”
