40 – I lived thanks to you

From nob le mt l dot com

My body froze at Chloe’s question.

This is a book written in the language of the elves?

He slowly turned his gaze to check the title of the book in his hand.

Now that I see it, when I got the note from Ellis, the language she read was different.

Come to think of it, Duke was also taken aback when I picked up this book.

He was also taken aback by the fact that I could read the language of the elves.

I made a mistake.

There are very few people who can read the language of elves.

That’s because elves don’t interact with humans and live in hiding.

But I, from another world, could read the language here.

I didn’t know it could even read the elven language, though.

I put the book back, ignoring Chloe, who was still looking at me.

Then he turned his head to look at Chloe and said.

“Why do I have to tell you that?”

After answering that, I left the library without saying a word before I could hear Chloe’s answer.

Kung.

As the door to the huge library closed, the lights went out, revealing a dark hallway.

All you can see is the moonlight shining through the window.

Because it is past midnight, all the lights are off except for a few small lanterns.

On the way back to my room, I blamed myself for my mistake earlier.

To get rid of Chloe’s interest, I went to the quietest library and read a book.

But, of course, the book was made in the language of the elves, and I read it as if it were natural.

Just because you read the language of the elves, it won’t happen that Chloel finds a weakness.

Because reading the language of another race is not particularly sinful.

But I couldn’t forget Chloe’s face looking at me in the library with even more interest.

What I was trying to get rid of interest in, ended up drawing more attention.

“Whoa.”

Unbeknownst to me, a deep sigh leaked out.

I went up to the second floor and arrived in my room, and threw myself on the bed.

When I finished reading the book and met Chloe’s eyes, my heart was beating so fast that I thought it was too late to sleep.

However, as soon as I lay down on the bed, miraculously, my mind immediately became at ease and my eyes began to close.

Kung.

With the library door closed, Chloe, left alone, took out the book that Rail had read a while ago.

The language written in the title was an elven language and he himself could not read it.

There are only languages that cannot be read even if you open the book.

The only thing Chloe could understand was the occasional picture.

However, his fiancé, Rail, read the book written in the language of the elves casually.

When Duke first heard that Rail was in the library, when he visited the library, Rail was already reading a book.

When she sat right next to Rail, Rail didn’t even notice her.

She thought it was ignoring herself as a part at first.

That would be the case, since the book Rail was reading was made in the language of the elves.

But she didn’t take her eyes off her book, even after an hour passed and her midnight passed.

And she turned the pages of the book steadily.

Rail seemed to understand the contents of her book, sometimes she pressed her teeth with her lips as if in her rage, and sometimes she felt sad, with small tears in her eyes. It was a mess.

It was a look that I couldn’t bear to think of as acting.

When her book turned the last page, Rail’s eyes finally turned to herself.

Rail said she really didn’t know that she was next to her, and her pupils could be seen twitching.

He really didn’t even know he was by his side and kept perusing the book.

That’s while reading an elf’s book that others don’t even dare to read.

It was a tremendous amount of concentration, something he would never have even attempted.

Chloe was curious.

How rails can read the language of the elves.

“By the way, rails. How can you read a language?”

However, the reply was extremely cold.

“Why do I have to tell you that?”

The eyes of the cold sunken rail didn’t seem to have any intention of telling themselves.

And thump. With a sound, Rail left the library.

The reaction of the cold rail made Chloel more interesting.

That’s why I wanted to know.

What is in this book?

I want to sympathize with what Rail read and showed various emotions on his face.

Chloel stood up with the elf book.

And he approached the librarian who was dozing at the library entrance.

“Find someone who can decipher this book.”

“Oh, miss?”

Chloe left the library after giving the book to the librarian who woke up.

I woke up.

When I opened my eyes and got out of bed and checked the time, it was early morning.

Even if I go to sleep past midnight, I wake up at this time automatically thanks to my physical training every morning.

I got up from my seat and warmed up by stretching lightly.

On days when I didn’t get enough sleep, my body still feels a bit tired.

However, strangely, I did not feel any fatigue or stiffness in my body even after not sleeping for a long time.

Why is my body not tired?

While thinking about that, my gaze shifted to an artifact hanging in the room.

Artifacts that all help with sleep and fatigue.

Only then did I realize that the quality of my sleep had improved thanks to this artifact.

I’ll have to buy some similar ones when I get home.

Thought so, I looked out the window.

And then, when I checked the outside, my eyes widened.

Is it winter already?

It was snowing white from the sky.

It must have been snowing since dawn, and the garden floor was covered with snow.

It’s common sense not to step out of the blanket on a cold day, but my body was already dressed and ready to go out.

Now training every morning has become a routine.

After taking my non-slip shoes and completely prepared, I opened the door.

“… Did you wake up young master.”

“I’m thinking of going to exercise for a while.”

“In this weather?”

When I said it as if it were natural, Duke put on a slightly embarrassed expression.

And I checked the non-slip enchanted shoes, and confirmed that I really wanted to go outside.

Come to think of it, I don’t know if there’s a place to exercise properly nearby.

I asked the Duke before leaving the mansion.

“Is there a place nearby where I can relax properly?”

“I don’t know how the young master warms up, but…. I’ve heard that monsters live in the northern forest not far from here.”

“It’s a monster….”

I thought for a moment.

Fenia said that she had nothing to teach me for the time being, and she said she would teach magic when she wanted to.

It seems to me that he just said that because he was tired of teaching every day.

It’s rare to learn magic from Fenia lately.

So I had no choice but to improve my skills while using magic myself.

And the fastest way to improve your skills is practice.

If it’s the monsters in the north, it won’t be too difficult for me to deal with alone.

It kills two birds with one stone as you can exercise while catching monsters and improve your magic skills.

“Okay. Thanks for letting me know.”

“Are you sure you want to go there?”

“Yes. I’ll be back before lunch, so don’t worry.”

“… All right. Young master. Then proceed carefully.”

You doze off like that. Leaving behind Duke, who bowed to me, I immediately moved to the northern forest inhabited by monsters.

*

Finally, we arrived at the northern forest that Duke told us about.

It was a little colder than usual because I was wearing thin clothes that were easy to move in, but it wasn’t unbearable.

And I really like these shoes that don’t slip on snowy roads.

It felt like walking on flat ground with nothing.

I think I’ll have to buy one of these when I get back home.

As I entered the depths of the forest, immersed in such miscellaneous thoughts, I heard the voice of a person who broke my thoughts.

I speeded up a little and moved to the place where I heard the sound, and there was a man surrounded by monsters that looked like tigers with white fur.

The man must have been quite tired, sweat on his forehead even in this cold winter.

“Ha ha, ha ha.”

Then he exhales heavily and holds his posture.

Beside him, he could see two corpses of fallen monsters, as if he had already died.

It seems that I accidentally caught a group of monsters and then got surrounded by the group.

The number of monsters is four.

If the guys rushed at the man at the same time, the man seemed unable to escape the attack.

So I raised my magic power and made a blue bullet.

And that moment when I was about to fire a bullet at the monsters.

“Fire up.”

With the man’s chanting, hot flames rose above his hands, and the flames divided into four were fired at the monsters.

Fire-!

The hot flames start to burn the bodies of the monsters.

Those who caught fire rolled over in the snow to put out the fire as if in pain.

However, the flame created by magic couldn’t be extinguished so easily.

In the end, the two completely burned monsters fell to the ground.

“Did the two miss… ….”

However, unlike the two dead monsters, the two monsters that avoided the man’s magic still looked at the man.

No. The death of another colleague seemed to intensify his temper.

And that was the moment when the man raised his mana in order to use magic once again.

Taat-

They jumped straight at the man, perhaps thinking of killing him before using magic this time.

It’s dangerous.

Men’s casting speed is slower.

I made a quick blue bullet and fired it at the two tigers that were running towards the man.

Taang-! Bullets flew with the sound of bursting air.

And the bullets got stuck right in their heads, Kwajik-! With the sound of their heads exploding, they fell to the floor.

As I arrived in front of him, roughly removing branches in the forest with my hands, I met the man’s eyes.

“Thank you for your help.”

The man thanked me and bowed his head.

He looked about the same age as me.

And short black hair and thick dark circles, probably from a bad night’s sleep, caught my eye.

When the guys rushed at the guy a little while ago, I judged that the male cast would be slower.

But before the bullets exploded their heads, the magic that had already been cast was rising in his hands.

Moreover, the man’s chanting a moment ago was different from what I’ve heard so far.

Fenia explained that once his understanding and proficiency in magic increases, he can use magic with a chant that is comfortable for him to sing.

That meant that the man in front of me was a person with enough skills to subdue them without my help.

“It’s okay. I was just doing the right thing.”

I answered the man’s thanks in a normal way.

It was because I didn’t want to make the man uncomfortable by revealing that I was an aristocrat.

And casually handed him over and asked.

“My name is Jinwoo. Nice to meet you.”

Then the man smiled and took my right hand and introduced himself.

“My name is Gilbert and I live in a nearby town. I lived thanks to you. hahahaha.”
