Chapter 9 – Talented Genius of the Sogres family (1)
I slowly stood up.
And I told the boys.
“Step away from there right now.”
They squinted at my words and tilted their heads.
“What?”
“Step away from there. Can’t you see now what’s under your feet?”
Upon those words, the taller of the boys looked at his feet and suddenly chuckled.
“Ah. Grass? What is this?”
“It’s a flower. A flower carefully cultivated by a gardener.”
“Whether it’s flowers or grass. It’s a plant.”
The guy smiled as if he was dumbfounded.
The little one next to him joined in.
“Is this guy now telling us that we stepped on the grass?”
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s absurd. Hey. What are you going to do? Are you going to punish us for stepping on a bit of grass?”
“Well. We are guests. We are the sons of Count Tyren, who were invited to this castle!”
As expected, they were guests.
“We are the sons of Count Tyren. I’m Digron Tyren, and my brother here is Denar Tyren.”
If it’s Count Tyren…
Is this the Count Tyren I know?
That noble who was defeated by on the battlefield and beca a prisoner.
“It doesn’t matter how noble a family is in the southern field; you’ve probably heard of the Tyren family na, which has a great reputation even in the capital.”
I rember Count Tyren was very ugly back then.
After finding out that I was not from a noble family, he never admitted defeat and I rember how he behaved very rudely, saying I used a cowardly move or stole soone else’s swordsmanship.
I wondered where that attitude ca from, and it ca from his father.
Anyway, I don’t know how good their reputation is.
The south is a bit far from the capital, but does that an the Count of Sogres is really a family that should be ignored?
“Brother. No matter how I look at it, it seems like you’re scared?
“But. It’s normal for people to act like this just by hearing the na Tyren. Hey! Since you ca as a guest, this ti I will generously forgive you. Tell then how to get out of this damn garden!”
Instead of answering, I looked at them in silence.
Then, a guy nad Digron suddenly started coming towards .
“Hey! Can’t you hear ?”
As expected, this is a guy you shouldn’t talk about.
“This bastard is ignoring my words now!”
Co on.
I looked at Digron’s face as he grabbed by the collar.
“Hey, don’t you bow your head? Are you crazy? What kind of bastard is going to look like that! This is Crazy…”
“Puaj!”
The mont Digron’s hand rose, I hit his head on the nose.
“Brother!”
And then he hid among the bushes that I had seen beforehand.
My mother told .
It is said that the basics of hiding start with knowing the location.
Even if it seems that there is no need to hide, always look carefully at any place and find a hiding place in advance.
Those are the basics of hiding, and I faithfully followed those instructions and hid perfectly among the bushes that ford the walls of the garden maze.
“Nose, my nose! Blood, blood! I’m going to kill this bastard!”
“Brother! The blood…”
In addition, here you have to add fast movents.
No matter how perfect you find the place, it’s useless if you hide at a speed slow enough for the other person to notice.
“Let go! But where did this bastard go!”
“Good, he was there a mont ago!”
As a result of learning these teachings, they couldn’t find at all.
Of course, the fact that this garden is my area also influences.
“Find him! Right now! I’m going to kill him!”
By the way, do you have an anger managent disorder?
Is it possible for soone to get so angry after starting a discussion and then getting hit in the nose?
Once you hit, you should be prepared to be hit.
That’s fighting, and, moreover, it’s the law that applies to war.
However, instead of those laws, it seed like he had lived only by the laws of the world that he always despised.
“Where the hell is this bastard!”
I hid among the bushes and only moved after making sure they passed.
“Over there! Go this way!”
“Ah, okay, brother!”
And at the mont one fell, a fleeting thought crossed my mind.
The magical power flow I mimicked before.
If I could mimic the flow at will, couldn’t I compress it to have tangible power?
It was a hypothesis, but it was worth trying.
If possible, even if it doesn’t have much power, it will be enough to punish them.
I focused my magic with my hands among the bushes where I was recently hidden.
“Appear.”
I confird that the magical power compressed into one and slowly took shape.
I never thought this would happen.
“Where the hell are you?”
And at that mont, his younger brother turned his back, heading to a completely different place from where I was hiding.
Whoosh
I shot a bullet that compressed the magical power flow from my hand.
“Ah!”
A scream exploding from the back.
The guy fell face down among the bushes and ended up in an unpleasant posture with his buttocks raised.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The guy started trembling, and soon he ca out, but his face and clothes were disheveled.
I looked around with a confused expression, but was there any way to find him?
“Ah, brother! Shit! Th-there’s sothing here!”
I wanted to kick him, but I persevered. Because I have to find his older brother soon.
I silently compressed the magical power flow in my hands again and waited for Digron to co.
“Denar, what’s going on?”
“Bah, soone just attacked on the ass…”
And at that mont, that guy appeared and started smiling.
“Get out right now; I’m going to kill you…!”
“Ugh!”
The second compressed magical bullet flew out and hit Digron’s buttocks.
Ah.
Was my aim off?
It seems like it hit between the two bones, not on the buttocks.
“Quaaaay…”
I tried to ignore the growing sadness.
But even for a mont.
The guy shouted with so much rage that it made no difference to the pity I felt.
“Damn! I’m going to kill you!”
And then sothing unexpected happened.
“Answer my call!”
This guy was a summoner like my younger sister.
I don’t think he’s as genius as my younger sister, who summoned a wyvern at the age of 16…
“Crumbling.”
That wolf summoning seems so violent that it doesn’t fit at all with this beautiful garden.
In contrast to the black fur, the one with white fur on the forehead showed sharp teeth.
Is he crazy, or did I provoke him too much?
What’s certain is that the summoned beast, ‘Gendfu,’ is fierce enough to destroy even a well-kept garden bush in an instant.
“Brother!”
“Noisy! What the hell… How dare you mock , Digron Tyren, like this? If it were our family, we would have killed you on the spot!”
The guy gave an order with an evil expression on his face.
“Gendfu. Find him imdiately by sll!”
I toyed with the javelin tied to my back.
The first thought that ca to mind was my father’s skills.
If that were the case, I was sure I could subdue Gendfu in an instant before he found and attacked .
Good.
“This kid. You won’t be able to hide anymore!”
But the solution ca from an unexpected place.
Sniff sniff.
As I tried to grab the short spear and pull it out, I made eye contact with Gendfu, who had found my location.
He found among the bushes and stopped for a mont at the mont we made eye contact.
Then he stared at …
Under the tail.
“Kkiing, kiing.”
Then, his tail swung gently from side to side, and he found among the bushes.
Then he started licking my hand with his tongue.
“W-what!”
That seems to be my reaction.
What happened?
I extended my hand as a demonstration.
Instead of shrinking or showing caution, Gendfu raised his head.
“That’s right, that’s good.”
I ca out of the bushes and patted Gendfu on the head.
“Hehe.”
He was a perfect puppy, wagging his tail, licking my hand, and caressing my cheek.
“Haha. Do you like it when I scratch your chin?”
Only then did I rember the fact that the beasts my younger sister often summoned were particularly friendly to .
In that case, I think it was probably because he slled familiar and was so kind of blood relationship.
Because it wasn’t summoned with the intention of attacking the enemy in the first place.
But in this case, where we are not blood relatives or anything…
“What are you going to do! Uh, how could Gendfu…?”
“Well. I think I know how you usually treat your summonings.”
This probably happened because his affinity was low.
“Nonsense! How can a summoned family mber betray their master?”
It’s possible.
The affinity between this guy and his summoned beast seems to have hit rock bottom.
In comparison, my natural affinity with summoned animals is, according to my younger sister, at an incredible level.
The result of combining these two.
“Did that guy regularly beat you?”
“Kkiing, kiing.”
Probably.
Digron had a face that literally lost everything in the world.
I shrugged and replied.
“It seems like your familiar likes more than you.”
“Nonsense.”
Anyway, how did that happen?
This is what Gendfu did when he made eye contact with and lowered his tail.
Similar…
Should I say I felt like I lost the will to fight for a mont?
I think it’s better to ask my younger sister.
“Do you want to continue?”
I asked the guys.
There was no way I would get an answer.
Collapsing.
As if reading my emotions, Gendfu turned his head to the other side and growled softly.
“Brother…”
“Ha, shut up! I’m going to cancel the summoning now!”
“Eh….”
“I told you to shut up… What kind of sll is this!”
I covered my nose at the lingering sll.
“Aaah!”
Ah.
Not only did he step on it, but he even urinated.
I guided them very kindly.
“For your information, the bathhouse is in the first basent of the main building.”
“This bastard… You’ll regret this!”
For a guy who says such things, I’ve never seen him make regret.
I sighed as I watched them flee, forgetting even to cancel the summoning.
“Kkiing, kiing.”
“Haha, boy.”
While patting Gendfu’s head, I felt a new sense of surprise.
I can’t believe I’m suddenly handling a summoned familiar like this, even though I’ve never summoned one before.
It was a coincidence for many reasons, but it turned out to be an obvious fact that I could handle summoned animals.
“If my little sister finds out, will she be very happy?”
Anyway, what is this Gendfu?
Naturally, it will be canceled over ti, but it can’t just be left alone.
This is because this is a garden where people co and go from ti to ti.
“Shall we try?”
After thinking about it a lot, I ca up with a thod based on the theory my younger sister told .
“I said it’s important to break the bond with the summoned beast.”
For an summoner, canceling the summoning is as important as summoning.
It was said that breaking the bond at the right mont and properly conserving the summoning magic were the qualities of a good summoner.
But Gendfu and I are not linked.
It’s related to the guy who ran away with his younger brother who urinated earlier.
“And if I bring mine?”
I looked closely at Gendfu.
Then I noticed a very thin thread extending from his head and heading in the direction Digron had just fled.
That’s it.
“Traces of a link.”
My magical affinity is so high that I can even see things like this.
Considering that mages and summoners do their best to understand the flow of magical energy, I feel truly blessed in terms of talent.
“All right.”
Carefully, I overlaid my magical power on that weak magical power thread.
Then the straight thread split into two, and one end connected to .
“It’s so simple.”
This connected with Gendfu.
“Kkiing, kiing.”
The boy rubbed against more affectionately than before.
He almost pounced on and licked , so I could examine the magic thread only after I barely managed to pull Gendfu away.
The magical thread that had split into two branches now only had one left, connecting it to . And I imdiately felt slightly dizzy.
“My magic is still draining.”
My younger sister said that the amount of magical power consud when summoning is considerable.
There is no bigger problem with simple summoning, but it is said that maintaining it is a asure of a summoner’s skill.
However, the amount of magical power shouldn’t simply be large. Should I say that using it efficiently is important?
I was like that too. Because you’re keeping a summoned beast without even attempting the summoning spell. To use an analogy, should I say it’s like running instead of walking?
“Still, I think you’ll be able to keep it up for quite so ti like this?”
But unfortunately, it seed like I would have to return him now. We can’t have sothing so frightening in the garden.
“Kkii….”
It is said that summoned beasts instinctively read the mind of the summoner; I guess it’s true. Gendfu licked my hand as if telling he didn’t want to leave.
“Sorry, see you next ti.”
I patted Gendfu’s head, and, naturally, cut the magic thread.
Then Gendfu slowly beca transparent and soon disappeared. The place where those eyes full of regret seed to shine.
“Do you think I’ll be able to see you next ti I summon Gendfu?”
I’ll have to ask my younger sister later.
Anyway, I never thought I could do sothing like this just because I have a great affinity, even though I had never tried a summoning spell before.
I thought of trying to summon him next ti.
Of course, I haven’t even been issued the essential code yet.
“This is the place, father!”
“Yes! Why does this place look so much like a maze?”
“I an! Everything is here now!”
At that mont, there was a commotion in a corner of the garden.
After a while, Digron and a man who seed to be Count Tyren, unable to wipe his bloodied nose, appeared.
Hmm.
He seems to have gained more weight than when I captured him.
Peace is good.
I silently watched as Count Tyren approached.
Then he ca in front of and made a terrifying expression.
“I am Mogard Tyren, the head of the Tyren family in the capital and lord of Tyren County.”
It was a voice that tried to convey a lot of dignity but wasn’t very majestic due to the strong tremors in the neck.
“As a guest today, I tried to endure it as much as possible, but when I heard that you made my son’s face look like this and even forcefully took away the summoning, I couldn’t bear it any longer, so I ca here.”
Count Tyren asked .
“Please identify yourself.”
I replied.
“My na is Dain Sogres, the youngest son of Count Aken Sogres, the Master of the South, and the head of the Sogres family.”
Count Tyren’s face distorted at my response.
