Chapter 215: Gifted Education
After that, Cortina and the rest took Donovan and returned to his mansion in Raum. After confirming that his father was, in fact, not inside, they planned to set out towards the Stolla domain.
That said, Maxwell was involved in this so they would return here when the night ca, as they have been doing until now.
“Good grief! What the hell is wrong with the Stolla domain! The lord had a nasty personality but his subordinates aren’t any better!”
Cortina ranted in anger while slamming her wine cup down on the table. It appeared that Donovan’s father’s influence was too big in the mansion of the Stolla domain, preventing their investigation from going smoothly.
“There’s a limit to how noncooperative soone can be. They just keep showing us these harmless locations. I’m fed up already.” “Look, Cortina. Didn’t you only start investigating it today?” “But co on…”
She was acting far too listless now, showing how much she was drained from it. Since Donovan was cooperating with them, they couldn’t act too high-handedly. Having said that, giving in could lead to missing their target.
Holding back in that regard would only make their work harder.
“A violent struggle with monsters is way easier. This is why human opponents are so…” “You say that, but you were the one who has the most experience in dealing with humans.”
Maria noted in exasperation. Cortina tended to be away from ho lately, so Maria took her place and stayed here. In that regard, the village’s situation was a bit worrying, but they seem to have left soone in their stead there so it was fine for the ti being.
Having said that, this house didn’t have enough room for Lyell and Maria, so Maria was currently sharing the room with Cortina. At first, she apparently planned to stay in Finia’s room, but Cortina realized that Finia would not be able to relax in that situation and dragged her to her room.
Incidentally, Lyell was sleeping on the sofa in the living room. It was a woman’s household, so he had to suck it up and deal with it.
In the first place, he could’ve just stayed with Maxwell, but insisted on sleeping under the sa roof as . Moreover, as Kabby also occupied my room, I denied him. Besides, I had the equipnt there that I’d rather he did not see.
“That’s sothing else. Is there a need to hold back when you know the other party is your enemy?” “Also, honestly, what is the point of accompanying you? There’s no enemy to be found.” “We have you just in case. I’m not much of a fighter, you know?” “Can’t you deal with so random Adventurers yourself, Cortina? Besides, Maxwell’s with you too.” “Well, I guess you have a point… But what’s your real intention?” “I wanna stay and play around with my daughter for once.” “I’m definitely bringing you with us.”
Cortina delivered a rciless reply to Lyell who was throwing a tantrum. Following that, she downed the wine in her cup and turned towards Maria. Finia imdiately went to fill the cup as the perfect attendant she was.
“Reminds , how is Cloud doing?” “It seems there is so discomfort left in the right arm, still. It would probably stay that way for so ti.” “You healed it, didn’t you?” “The wound has been completely healed. This is more of a ntal problem. Sothing only ti can heal.” “Cloud, huh…”
Hearing Maria and Cortina’s talk, Lyell muttered with an unfocused gaze. Lyell had been inford that he was the root of the current incident. As a result, I also ended up suffering a serious injury, so he probably had sothing to say about it.
“I can’t admire that he dragged Nicole into danger… But I praise him for protecting Michelle with his life.” “Indeed. And it was due to his good observation that we managed to discover this incident, so I don’t think we should be putting all the bla on him, don’t you think?” “Ah, no, I’m not particularly angry at him. It is a problem that Nicole got involved, but, ugh, how should I put it?”
It seed that Cloud’s standing hadn’t really fallen in his eyes. I was a little relieved to learn that. I’d rather not see my forr comrades blaming my current ones, if I can help it.
“Right… He still lacks the power required to beco Nicole’s comrade.” “But he’s trying his best, you know?”
Lyell declared that after making up his mind, but I answered with a bit of an objection. Because I thought he was taking the conversation in a direction where he’d try to pull him away from my side with that reasoning.
Lyell, however, answered with sothing completely different from my fears.
“There are tis when trying your best is not enough. Like this ti, if you hadn’t made it in ti, he would be dead.” “But if he didn’t do that, he wouldn’t have been able to save Michelle, either.” “That’s right. And that’s the problem.” “That?”
Lyell pointed at with a smug face. That honestly pissed off a bit. He overlooked my displeasure and continued his speech.
“His judgnt was not wrong. He thoughtlessly headed into danger, but the way he dealt with it wasn’t bad. The problem was his lack of power to accomplish what he planned to do.” “Well… He’s still a kid.” “If he plans to be an Adventurer, being a child or not is irrelevant. If you throw yourself into danger while lacking power, what awaits you is only death.” “Well, yeah.” “So, everything would work out if he had that power.” “Co again?” “If Cloud is weak, we just have to make him stronger. I’m saying that I’ll train him.” “Co again!?”
Actually, Lyell and Maria were visiting Cortina’s ho thrice a week. They have dinner with us together, chatted so, and then went back to the village at nightti. Putting it differently, they had so spare ti until the nightti.
“I’ll use my spare ti and… No, I’ll get Gadius in on this as well. We will train him together. If we do that, his lack of ability should get resolved.” “W-Well…”
Honestly speaking, this was more than Cloud could ever ask for. I wasn’t that good at using a sword. As for a tank, I’ve never even attempted it. Having masters of those two fields teach him was an opportunity that’d probably never co again in his life.
Moreover, being a Half-Demon, he was limited in the choice of teachers. This was a much better option compared to training under who specialized in threads.
I acknowledged Lyell’s decision. But it was not for alone to decide.
“I’ll ask the person himself for now.” “Please do. It is better to teach him before he develops bad habits.” “That’s a good idea! If Cloud becos reliable, I can safely leave Nicole in his hands.”
Maria joined in on Lyell’s conversation. Despite knowing that Cloud was a Half-Demon, she did not hold a bad impression of him.
The World Tree Religion wasn’t very fond of Half-Demons, but Maria herself seed to view them as victims of the disaster that happened in the myths. Not to ntion, she knew in my previous life, so her outlook on Half-Demons changed multiple tis.
When it ca to Cloud’s ability, it seems that she wanted to help sohow but couldn’t for so ti now.
Following that, Lyell headed to Maxwell to talk about involving Gadius. And like that, the plan to give gifted education to Cloud had started.
