Chapter 120. Baby Baby Mabel 2021.03.27.
The place where the traitors were gathered was an unused room in the headquarters. I saw three men collapsed with bubbles indeed in the room that was sealed to prevent them from escaping.
“Keep it off…!”
In a serious situation as if I was going to run out of breath at any moment, I sat down on the spot and poured out my holy power. Light powder scattered around me, brightly illuminating my vision. It was quite a beautiful sight to see the hazy light swimming around, but I couldn’t concentrate on it. The divine power used to maintain the barrier surrounding Aidan, the divine power used to subdue them earlier, and even the consumption of the divine power poured out now.
‘it’s hard. I think I’m going to die!’
My head was spinning and my eyes were dizzy at the divine power that quickly escaped. As I closed my eyes tightly, I poured out my holy power. But it was strange. It was a pure power that even Abelardo’s God King recognized, but the condition of the three men did not improve. His gasping for breath had gotten better, but his condition was still bad.
“Is Mabel okay? Cold sweat…”
Oscar came running late and wiped my sweat with a handkerchief.
“It’s better not to overdo it, Master.”
Aidan said, looking at the three men coldly. Then, the rest of the guild members who were crouching in groups of threes and threes trembled, saying ‘Hee-ik!’
“If you want to get rid of it right away, that means it’s important information. I can’t let them die…!”
I only got up after pouring in my holy power to the end. As I stumbled for a moment, Oscar and Aidan supported me at the same time.
“Thank you.”
Oscar and Aidan stared at each other. I tilted my head and turned my gaze back to the men. Casey, looking at the men who were sloppy, scratched his cheek.
“Oh…. It’s really amazing, lady, that you saved this. It’s normal to die. Look at the magic twist.”
“Why magic?”
“This is, therefore, forbidden under the law.”
“The ban of the age? what is that?”
Casey let out a deep sigh. He didn’t seem to want to talk about the subject.
“It would be nice to move first. I don’t think those traitors are going to die right away.”
The eyes of the guild members who saw me saving people were still wide open. I pointed my index finger at them.
“Shh.”
“Ugh…”
“I know you won’t see anything good if you go around talking!”
“Huh!”
I kind of peacefully (?) shut their mouths. I wouldn’t be able to write a slave contract anyway and leak the secret.
. . . After entrusting Franz with managing the new slaves, we gathered at the nearest Casey’s office.
“The prohibition of speech is literally putting a ban on words.”
“Are you making it impossible to talk?”
“yes. If you bind a specific statement with a taboo and make a statement, it will lead to death. This is also evil magic, so it is designated as taboo magic in Ermano. It is next to impossible to perform this magic.”
As soon as I heard the word forbidden, the first thing that came to my mind was, of course, Veron Arthur Devlica. As well as the ruthless way of doing it whether or not it is a burden to the PC electron.
“But you haven’t asked anything from those three yet.”
“Probably because he signed a slave contract. He must have almost lost his life due to the conflict between the prohibition of the spirit of speech and the manifestation effect of the slave contract.”
“Hmm.”
I fell into trouble again with the explanation that fit perfectly.
“Until now, he acted as if he didn’t care if it was revealed that it was Devlin’s work, so why is he suddenly trying to keep his mouth shut?”
“Couldn’t they be holding information they never want to know?”
“But there’s no way I can find out anything like this.”
“yes. You saved me for no reason.”
“Ehh.”
It was only a waste of my divine power that I poured into it. If it had been poisoned, I would have been able to detoxify it with divine power.
“Should I handle it?”
Aidan, who had been quiet all along, asked me. I firmly shook my head.
“You don’t have to get your hands dirty, Aidan.”
If he was to live like this, he was destined to do so. I even signed a slave contract anyway, so I couldn’t escape.
“It should be used as a role of transporting materials brought from Devlin.”
“Whoops. If that’s the case, I’ll roll hard.”
It seemed that the discussion about the aftermath of the traitor and the commotion of the day was over.
“Then, let’s go back as soon as the body returns to normal!”
Perhaps because he consumed too much divine power, his body did not gain strength. He leaned over to Oscar, who was sitting next to him, and sighed. As I stroked Yang’s head, he growled and fell asleep.
‘weird. It seems like the time has come for the effect to end…’
Even after half a day, it seems like a long time has passed, but I still looked the same as I was 14 years old. Oscar realized that too, and his expression grew serious.
“Didn’t you drink too much?”
“no. I only drank as much as the bottle contained.”
Casey, who heard our conversation, tilted her head and headed for the medicine cabinet containing the elixir.
“huh?!”
A strange cry was heard, and then Casey came running like crazy. Then he raised and released my arm and began to look around.
“away.”
“Casey. impolite.”
Aidan and Oscar resolutely dropped Casey from taking a closer look.
“No, that’s strange…”
Casey tilted her head.
“Why are you doing that?”
“In the medicine cabinet… the medicine is the same?”
“…ok?”
“Three growth elixirs. Everything is there.”
“…?”
We are all bewildered. I couldn’t believe Casey’s words at all, so I brought an empty medicine bottle from the trash can.
“Look at this. it’s written It’s called a growth leap.”
It was clearly written on the label as ‘growth elixir’.
“That… was a test growth elixir made of fake Veneno that has been circulating on the market lately…?”
Almost as soon as Casey finished speaking, Oscar jumped up and grabbed my shoulder.
“Mabel. Vomit!”
“What are you talking about, Oscar? More than half a day has passed since I drank!”
While I calmed down the excited Oscar, Aidan calmly grabbed Casey by the collar.
“A side effect experiment?”
“I don’t know, that’s me. I mean, I made this just for testing! You put it on the bottom row in the first place, so why did you drink it?”
I glared at Casey.
“That’s because my height only reaches that far!”
“ah…!”
Perhaps understanding, Casey smirked. I felt like I was being teased, so I hurt my pride.
“Casey….”
“Ah, is there something special? From my point of view, it seems to be about extending the duration.”
“Then I’m glad.”
The desire to quickly return to the imperial castle and rest was like a chimney, but I could never go back in this form. I passed the time by eating the cookies Franz brought. So, when the day started to get dark, the incident happened.
‘Why am I suddenly so dizzy?’
I was just sitting there, but suddenly I felt dizzy as if everything around me was spinning. I felt everyone staring at me as I frowned and touched my forehead.
‘Is it going back to normal?’
I was more dizzy than usual and my body was having a hard time, but considering it was a side effect, I could tolerate it. However, the reaction of others was not serious.
“Mabel you…”
“Are you okay?”
“Ah, miss.”
[Mabel…]
The three of them and one of them looked at me with surprised faces. As I tilted my head, I felt that my field of view had drastically lowered. Also, the clothes I was wearing became loose.
‘It must have returned to normal!’
I smiled broadly at the thought of finally being able to go back to my room and grabbed Oscar’s arm.
“Let’s go to Otsuka Jibe!” (Let’s go to Oscar’s house!)
No, wait.
“Are you Mom?”
what is the pronunciation Unable to grasp the situation, I looked down at my body in bewilderment. The body of a fourteen-year-old was absolutely not. That’s not even the body of a nine-year-old. It’s true that you’ve gotten younger, but it seems you’ve gotten too young…? Looking back at it now, the clothes that were said to have shrunk and become baggy were not just baggy. I slowly raised my head with a bewildered face and met Oscar’s eyes.
“Oh, Otsuka. how about me?”
As he smiled, Oscar’s eyes furrowed. But it wasn’t a frown in the unpleasant sense.
“Baby baby Mabel….”
“Otsuka!”
“You’re so cute…”
Oscar started stroking my cheek with a dazed face. Suddenly, when I was touched by Oscar, I screamed ‘Aaaaaaaaaaaa’. Either way, Oscar just patted my cheek. . . .
“Cayce. (Casey. What are you going to do with this?)
“Kuhmm…”
“Casey.”
I called out once more, but Casey only slightly averted my eyes. I was now struggling to change into a child’s clothes that a guild member named Dean had saved. There was no one to change it for me, so I had to do it myself. I’d guess he’s probably about two years old. It was only a few years ago that I liked that I was free from short tongue sounds, but to come back with this beggarly baby body!
“Huh, Igo and Moya. I’ll take care of my body…!” (Huh, what is this? Give me back my body…!)
I grabbed Casey by the collar (it was near his stomach, if you say so) and lamented bitterly. Casey replied with an awkward smile and his arms in the air awkwardly.
“Probably will be back in a few hours. Do not worry too much.”
“Don’t be rude. How dare you!” (Don’t be funny. How sure you are!
)
Taking it one step further, Casey even laughed at me when I was younger. I let go of the collar and leaned on the sofa sullenly at the wizard who was not helpful at all.
“Damn it. Jibe Moka…” (Failed. I can’t go home…) Perhaps
as my body grew younger, my mind grew younger as well, and suddenly I felt a sense of sadness.
[Even if I don’t go home, Mabel won’t die.]
Yang’s comforting words didn’t comfort her at all. With tears in my eyes, I thought of my father who would be waiting for me.
“…I miss Daddy.” (I miss Daddy.)
“But if Mabel goes back to that look, I have to tell my father everything that has happened.”
“Uh oh.”
I couldn’t tear down what I had built up until now. If he knew what I was doing, I’m sure he wouldn’t sit still. On top of that, if they found out that I was getting younger because I drank the wrong elixir, they might ban the distribution of Veneno.
‘Because my father’s overprotectiveness is serious.’
After much thought, I came to a conclusion. After all, there was only one option.
“Let’s wait and see.” (For now, let’s wait.) The only
problem left was getting permission from my dad to let me sleep out. Oscar’s complexion turned blue.
***
Mabel and the others moved to the guild’s second hideout, the Easty Mansion. Oscar delivered the message to the attendant with the heavy task of allowing him to stay out. The attendant was very nervous and carefully recited the words Oscar had left.
“< --so Mabel fell asleep, so I took care of him for the night." Esteban's face hardened. “Tell me again.” “< So Mabel fell asleep and stayed the night… >.”
Knock knock! Esteban’s chair tipped over and he fell violently. Impressions were still harsh.
“Sleep out and sleep out…”
For Mabel, who is small, precious, soft, and warm, it was too dangerous outside the royal castle. Furthermore, Mabel’s status was emperor. No matter how good the escorts of the nobles were, they could not be sure of their safety in preparation for an assassination.
“Nonsense. I will have to bring it myself.”
Esteban’s announcement made Gustav tearful. . . . With hot milk and cookies in front of them, the brother and sister and Aidan had a last snack time before going to bed.
“Mabel. Are you going to sleep after eating all this?”
“I am not a child. (I’m not a kid. I’ll sleep a little longer.)
“You’re a baby Mabel right now. You should go to bed early.”
“Syro.”
It was at that time that Mabel, who was rebellious at being treated as a baby, was going to sleep late, and said that she would sleep late.
“His Majesty the Situation eats it!”
“…!”
Esteban stormed in without warning.
