Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

150 – I said it was nearby…

“Hmm… “I hope it went well.”

Manwol took the margin and sighed heavily. Thanks to Eugene’s help, he had a lot of energy to spare, but he was exhausted from reaching the deep northern snowfields.

For Manwol, who spends all of the day and most of the year stuck inside the magic tower, climbing a snowy mountain was like a huge adventure.

I’m exhausted. I’m tired. it’s hard. I’m sleepy…

Manwol, who was watching Eugene’s disappearance from afar, muttering the few words he couldn’t get out, opened his heavy mouth and asked the empty space.

“what do you think about it?” Manwol turned her head. “crescent.”

“… … … .”

“… Don’t hide there, come out slowly. Eugene would have caught it anyway.”

“… … … .”

Manwol’s gaze followed the goddess and Krystal across the snowy field where white tree branches had fallen. The snow powder that had accumulated deep on the ground started to flutter like a wave with a small vibration, and then, like a well-baked hotcake, it drew a circle and popped open.

A shadow crawls out of a small entrance. Manwol was not embarrassed and waved her hand at her. It’s been a while since I wanted to see her face, but unfortunately, her outfit was so special that I couldn’t make eye contact with her. She was wrapped in a blanket from head to toe, unable to get her hands out, staggering around precariously as if she would collapse at any moment. It was the first of the phases of the moon, the crescent moon.

Manwol said as he took a quick look into the hole where the crescent moon rolled out.

“what? “Did you dig an underground tunnel this time?”

There was no answer.

“I was worried because you were whining about being cold because you were pouring all your magical power into Hyeoncheon Majin.”

Having said that, I wasn’t particularly worried.

“Is it warm inside? “They say if you sprinkle water and light a fire, it gets warm.”

Actually, I don’t know much about accurate information.

“Anyway, if it was cold, you shouldn’t have told me~ I would have brought clothes and other things from the Magic Tower.”

I didn’t bring it, though.

There was hardly any emotion in the waddling movements of the crescent moon as it looked at the full moon fluttering alone. She scolded sharply.

“… … … full moon. Noisy.”

“… … yes.”

“… … “Did you spend the new moon properly?”

A slightly younger, but extremely cold voice rang coldly from between the thick blankets.

Manwol shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Hmm~ maybe? “I just sent it somewhere nearby.”

“… … around?”

“Uh, nearby.”

“If it’s nearby… … Some extent?”

“Yeah… … ”

To a simple question, Manwol tried to answer loosely, thinking that Crescent Moon was asking her about everything, but suddenly she remembered something that came to her mind and her expression hardened.

“… … Ah, I made a mistake.”

***

The full moon of the Magic Tower. Who is she?

Man-wol walks around naked in the magic tower, sometimes runs away from home in the name of entertainment without saying anything, and is not even contacted for a while. Sometimes, Man-wol is more prone to crying out loud than the Sanghyeon-moon twins, but even so, I still feel for her. There was never any doubt about his magical abilities.

An overwhelming amount of magical power that would make you nod even if you were born for magic. And the skill with which such innate magical power is used as if it were natural is so perfect and flawless that it rivals the pinnacle of a magic tower.

The talent to understand margins as their essence, not as a structure, and to utilize them instinctively rather than calculatedly.

As someone who walks the same path of magic, it must be clearly pointed out that there are aspects that make one feel awe.

This is the space-time magic that Manwol casted himself.

Although he admitted that he was less precise than the members of the DC family, there was no reason to disparage Manwol’s space-time magic.

At first, I was optimistic, but after an hour, my doubts began to rise. It was another hour later that I became angry.

‘… … This crazy b*tch. ‘Where did you drop me?’

I would definitely have told you to send it near the 5th Holy Sword.

I thought it was only the Magic Tower’s information network that knew the location of the Fifth Holy Sword, and sure enough, she had sent Sanghyeondal to receive information from time to time, so she immediately casted a spell. It was good up to that point.

A cold sweat began to break out.

Did I choose the words wrong?

The fact that he brought up the ambiguous word ‘nearby’ to Manwol was a failure. Even though her social skills are comparable to mine, I am an asshole for expecting to know the context of her conversation or what she thinks. She should have at least taken into account that Manwol’s language skills would have been shattered.

The only intelligent beings she usually communicates with within the Magic Tower are Ha Hyeon-dal, who is crazy from battle, Sang Hyeon-dal, whose brain is clearly severely damaged, and Crescent Moon, who speaks extremely quietly. She has lived similarly for hundreds of years, so she can’t blame anyone even if what she thinks of as ‘nearby’ refers to a radius of several hundred kilometers.

“But what are you going to do if I send you to a random system?”

I opened my eyes after reciting the words one, two, three, and the first thing I saw was none other than a huge city.

Under the sky where the sun has just disappeared, the lumpy lights of gas lamps begin to emerge one by one instead of the dim starlight.

It must have rained until late afternoon, so the paved roads were soaked with fishy rainwater, and the sky was covered with clouds, so not even the moonlight shone through. A rattling sound was heard in the hazy fog, and suddenly a carriage came out. I thought it was just rain and fog, but the dampness and thick feeling, as if I had chewed dust and sand, made me feel nauseous.

The unpleasantly sticky air characteristic of thick smog stuck to my lungs and I had no intention of letting it go. Sometimes, when I went near the river, the foul smell coming up the sewer mixed with the fishy smell would wet my nose.

“… “This is no place for people to live.”

I suddenly remembered my father’s words while frowning.

I have visited the islands countless times, but the first one was when I accompanied my father to the last never-ending banquet of the previous emperor. At the time, I remember that I didn’t even have time to see the imperial capital properly because I used teleportation in accordance with my mother’s advice not to let my child breathe bad air.

Anyway, the air is terrible.

I wandered through the crowd for a while, wading through the heavy air that weighed down my prayers, and in the end, I couldn’t find a single guard wearing a sword, let alone the 5th Holy Sword. In the end, it was around this time that I decided that there would be no harvest at this rate and threw myself on the table of a nearby restaurant.

“hmm… Signature tomato pasta… And I would like some rye bread, please. Oh, vegetable soup too.”

“What would you like to drink?”

“Do you have any alcohol?”

“Sure! Beer, wine, and whiskey or cocktails. Our store handles all types of alcohol available in the empire. “Just say the word!”

“Then any brand is fine. Please give me a beer.”

“Aha, yes! I’ll give you the best one! Let’s see… Then pasta, bread, soup and a beer. yes please wait for a moment… ! I’ll bring it to you soon… … ”

“The strongest whiskey here. Straight. When it comes to food, I ask you to choose the most popular food you can eat. Hey, what are you going to do?”

“noisy. “Please take a seat first.”

“… under. “Even though I ordered it for you, it’s still damned.”

As soon as I raised my head to the sound of a chair being dragged across the old wooden floor, I sighed at the sight of a familiar face.

Although they were hidden by a deep hat and a traveling coat, anyone could tell that they were a man and a woman.

The problem is their identity.

I momentarily forgot to control my facial expressions and buried my face on the table.

“… … oh. … customer?”

“It’s a group. “Can we sit together?”

“… … ah! sighe… ?”

The waiter, who had healthy freckles and a bright smile, began to notice me. When I gave her a small nod, she said, “Thank you. “She will be back in a moment.” Leaving a brief greeting, she hurried back to her kitchen.

“… … … .”

“… … … .”

“… … … .”

“… … “Why are you looking at me like that?”

The crown prince frowned and asked. I too was at a very uncomfortable moment.

“What are you doing, you guys?”

“It’s not me. 3rd star… … …

The crown prince almost accidentally mentioned the title ‘Hero of the Third Holy Sword’, but later realized his mistake and changed his words as if swallowing it with water.

“… “This woman said she should come.”

“What nonsense? “If you suddenly barge in and cut off what’s being said, how can I understand you?”

The hero of the 3rd Holy Sword laughed darkly and ticked.

“You guys talk like shit for once. “I said I just expected that kid to come here.”

Just then, the fruit snack ordered by the hero of the Third Holy Sword came out. She put an unknown tropical fruit in her mouth and swallowed it.

“That blood relative woman who is following you around. “You were torn apart by a five-star sword, right?”

The hero of the Third Holy Sword mentioned Undine. I don’t know where the information came from, but I didn’t know that it was meant to provoke me. It is also cumbersome to respond one by one.

When I got no answer, he must have found it refreshing. She held her stomach and started giggling. Although the restaurant was noisy, she did not attract attention because the crown prince had cast a silencing spell in advance.

“Phukkeut…” Off to school… That overbearing expression… Just because he got his strength back by breaking the magic seal, he keeps copying and pasting that old expression on his face… ”

“… “You know like a ghost that the seal was broken.”

“I know. The power of the holy sword used to seal your magical power. I came back to the Third Holy Sword. By the way, the face plate is quite thick, right? If you think about it, you broke the contract you made with our warriors, right? “I thought I had some regrets about the Academy, but I don’t think that’s the case at all.”

“… … … ..”

“Even if we kill the 5th Holy Sword and eliminate the 6th Holy Sword and the Hwangseong one by one, you are no different. A contract is a contract. When the seal is broken, you will no longer be able to live your life as before. “I don’t know what you were thinking when you broke the contract, but you think I won’t be able to be a teacher?”

“… … … .”

“What do you think, Crown Prince? In a way, you’re one of the people who would have held that kid’s leash, right?”

“… … Noisy. “It doesn’t taste like cigarettes.”

The Third Holy Sword and the Crown Prince continued to say trivial things, but I did not pay attention to them. Just in time, food and drinks came out.

It’s none of my business what they say.

When you’re done with your work, go back.

All you have to do is remember that.

I tried chewing the meat with beer, but it had no taste.

It felt like I was chewing a dry cloth in my mouth.
