Chapter 106. Recorders (3)
‘What crazy! Maybe now?’
Jin and Siris reflexively reached their waists.
Talaris, on the other hand, shrugged as if it happened often, but a bitter smile spread across his lips.
“…A human who was sealed a thousand years ago is beyond the power of ice and me. don’t be too surprised On one occasion, more than half of the seal was broken.”
There was only a crack, but Elona remained motionless with her eyes closed in the pillar of ice.
Thalaris reached through the rift. Then, the energy of all ice flowed out and penetrated the crack. The ice pillar gradually regained its original shape.
Talaris looked very tired just from repairing the rift.
“Are you okay, mother?”
“Okay. Hehe, I don’t know if I worried my son-in-law for nothing. haha.”
Siris doesn’t get annoyed by his son-in-law’s constant jokes and looks worried about his mother.
“For a thousand years, this woman has never tired.”
“…Does your father know about the existence of Elona Ziple?”
“Know. When we were young, when we didn’t know much about our situation, we didn’t even bother to wake her up and have a fight.”
“Your father?”
Talaris burst out laughing as Jin asked, wide-eyed.
“Shiron at that time only hoped that a strong enemy would appear to appease him. The fact that if this woman woke up, there could be a big repercussion in the world, it was a matter of no importance to the four fathers in their youth.”
It was around that time that Thalaris became friends with Chiron. After mixing swords with Shiron, who visits the Secret Palace every time, at some point, they came to understand each other.
“Of course, now your father has come to his senses and is taking responsibility for his powers.”
“Is that responsibility related to the Black Sea?”
“Listen to Shiron directly. If you still don’t know about Shiron’s work, it must be because he has an idea.”
“All right.”
“jin.”
“Yes, Mr Thalaris.”
“Starting today, you will also participate in keeping this seal.”
Then Siris opened her eyes wide and looked at Thalaris.
“mother? Jin is a foreigner… No way. Are you doing this because you think you’re a real son-in-law?”
“then?”
“You have to say something that makes sense…!”
“Anyway, no matter how much I make fun of my daughter, I never get tired of it. I’m kidding. I just think that Jin’s ability will be of great help in maintaining this seal. There came a time when it was too much to handle alone. I can’t hand over ten thousand ices to you already.”
It was something Siris had never imagined. The fact that her mother might try to rely on Jin for something.
That much hurt her heart that she couldn’t help her mother, but she couldn’t help it. If it was her mother’s judgment, then she had to follow it.
Siris, who organized her thoughts for a moment, held out her hand to Jin. Jin stared blankly at the hand and grabbed it.
“I want you to know that this is not an alliance between Secret Palace and Runcandel. This is an alliance between Secret Palace and Jin Runcandel.”
“I like that one even more.”
In fact, Siris also didn’t hate it when Bigung stayed close to Jin.
Having lived as the only daughter of a non-gungju, she was not used to the relationship of ‘friend’. Jin was the only person similar to her age friend.
‘I’m sorry you tricked me when we first met. He’s not a bad guy though.’
Except for the first meeting, Siris had a good impression of Jin ever since. Otherwise, he would not have participated in the operation to steal the compass.
“Oh my, that looks great. Two people. daughter how Mum, can you clear up your seat? Would you like to have some quality time for just the two of us?”
“You don’t have to, mother.”
“huh. See you later, daughter.”
Booong!
Mort opened the white dimensional door.
Talaris rode the motte and returned to the secret palace outside, leaving the two of them behind. Suddenly, Jin and Siris are not the only two. With the three remaining, including Elona, in the pillar of ice, they had no choice but to stare blankly at the spot where Talaris had left.
In an instant, an awkward atmosphere flowed between the two.
“…My mother is a bit peculiar, so I’d appreciate it if you could understand, Jin.”
“of course. Compared to my father, he seems to be on the average side.”
After a conversation, another silence passed.
‘It’s inconvenient.’
‘uncomfortable.’
A few seconds later, the two opened their mouths at the same time.
“excuse me.”
“Siris.”
“hmm.”
“Talk to me first.”
Jin quickly went on his back. Because I really had nothing to say.
“…by any chance.”
“yes.”
“Do those guys transform too?”
“Transformation…? Who are those guys?”
“The prisoners you brought. They are also Butterfly runes… no, just like your black dragon. It was about transforming into a disgusting human being.”
A bloody laugh was about to leak out.
However, Siris would be embarrassed if he did so, so he managed to hold back his laughter.
“No, those friends are really beastmen, not dragons. Only dragons can transform.”
“I’m glad.”
“If they were all dragons, they would have been quite reassuring.”
“I still get goosebumps sometimes when I think that the cute cat I saw at the banquet is that black man. How much you fawned over me at the banquet hall.”
“Haha…”
Siris narrowed her brows as if it was absurd even thinking about it again.
“Even until the banquet was over, he did not leave my side. I held you in my arms when I went to watch you fight a duel with a guy named Bouvard.”
-oh! It sounds like you really did well to attend this banquet. I never thought I’d be able to meet the successor of the secret palace at such a close distance! Nice to meet you, Siris Endorma, right? I’m Beradin G….
-Get out of here.
– Oh old.
– By the way, watch out for that cat. He’s the one who scratched my face haha. He’s a very ferocious guy.
Siris recalled the conversation he had with Beradin at the time and told Jin.
Beladin, how is that guy doing now? My heart felt heavy at the thought.
‘It’s frustrating because there’s no news. It seems Dante hasn’t heard anything yet. Not only should I invite you to Hylan’s banquet, but I should also ask you to go to the Ziffle banquet.’
In the midst of many thoughts, Siris continued to talk about the banquet in Runkandel.
Except for Jin, she didn’t have many memories of her growing up, just like she doesn’t have many friends her age. It has always been trained only through training and missions.
So even Siris herself was not aware of it, but the banquet at that time remained as a special memory to her.
Suddenly feeling that fact, Jin met Siris eyes.
He, too, had passed all of his childhood and youth without any memories from his previous life.
‘Unlike me back then, Siris-sama has achievements in growth. He must have been bored.’
Maybe even lonely.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I just don’t have a place to look. Mr. Siris.”
“huh.”
“Come to Tican often. Now that we are allies, Siris-sama is also my colleague.”
He had considered Siris as a colleague from before. However, she didn’t seem to think of herself that way either, so she didn’t dare to say it out of her mouth.
“Going out to play is something I’m not used to.”
“I did too.”
“But it doesn’t sound too bad. Thinking of playing makes me feel a bit excited.”
Siris is cold and unfeeling in most situations, but not disingenuous.
Ever since she was born, as the successor to the secret palace, she has always lived a devoted life, but she is also a human being and a girl who is not yet twenty.
Of course, there are times when you want to interact with others and just want to play without thinking.
“I’m glad you think well.”
But why don’t you slowly let go of your words? It’s strange that you’re the only one who keeps using honorifics.
Siris swallowed the words.
It was because if you talk comfortably with each other, you will naturally get closer to Jin, but if the speed is fast, confusion will arise in your mind.
“Anyway, I don’t know when my mother will open the door.”
“You should be here today. Until then, let’s chat a bit.”
“I didn’t expect that words like that would come out of your mouth.”
“I like it.”
* * *
It was the next morning that Talaris opened the door.
Until then, the two of them just felt that the time had passed as they stayed up all night talking about trivial but pleasant things.
Talaris noticed that it was a bit disappointing, but the two felt that they were having fun.
“My dear, have you come!”
As soon as Jin got out of the Secret Palace, he found Tikan. The problem with the small beasts was solved, so I had to stop by Tikan and then go back to the Garden of Swords.
“By the way, how were you contacted? Butler Petro said that the master was absent, and Lucas said that the master had not yet come out after entering the secret palace.”
“Have you contacted me? why?”
“A guest has come.”
“customer?”
“That Aria Owlheart…”
“Where is it?”
“It’s at Mr. Latri’s tea shop.”
Even though it was morning, the line was long.
Jin went straight into the kitchen through a secret passageway leading to the teahouse (it was installed recently because there were too many customers) and was able to see Valeria sitting at one side of the table.
And as soon as I saw her, I swallowed a laugh inside.
‘You’re using the golden tongue products very well.’
The dyed black hair and makeup that made him look older than he was five years old were very natural.
Jin sat down in front of Valeria.
“I didn’t know you would come this far. You said it as if you didn’t need it, but you use the products well.”
“not bad. I would make a lot of money You said you got the second aura orb?”
Valeria had the attitude that she would not say a single word of regret. Jin expected that, of course.
“okay.”
“Show me once. Check out what it is.”
“Aren’t there too many eyes here? Don’t change your seat.”
“This is a spot that can only be seen in the kitchen. The Dragon of Truth in the kitchen will be yours, so it won’t matter. I think the same goes for the magician who lost that magic.”
The reason Valeria didn’t want to move was because she thought it was much safer this way.
“You know everything. Even if Veris knew about the flow of magic, it’s a top secret that Latri-sama is the dragon of truth.”
Regarding Latri, I found out by checking the records.
“My existence was also top secret. Show me a recorder or something. Check to see if it’s broken again this time.”
Jin took out the aura orb he got from raiding Joshua’s villa in his arms.
Valeria didn’t think much of it and straight away performed the record magic, but as she said, no one saw it in the tavern.
Blue magical power wrapped around the marble.
After a while, Jin was able to confirm Valeria’s old habit of shifting her eyes to the left once again.
‘Are you confused about the beads? what?’
The blue magic of record magic has disappeared.
“how is it? Is it broken again?”
The answer I heard from Valeria the next moment was completely unexpected.
“…I don’t think this belongs to Solderlet, does it?”
