Chapter 516 – Unemployment and Mountainous Problems

000

Everyone in the party came to their senses, and after a sumptuous breakfast and lunch prepared by Tamamo, they left the building.

In the end, even then Galatea’s appearance her has n’t returned to normal, so if you’re in a bit of trouble.

In front of the building, Kuzunoha and Banguidae were talking.

“Cleon-sama.”

Her Aine her, noticing Cleon’s presence her, first turned her head towards her and bowed to her, then her her Kuzunoha looked at her with her hand on her waist.

Soon, with her arms crossed, she turns her head with a ‘huh’.

“… Aye. Last night, was there any damage outside the brothel?”

“Yes. It’s thanks to Cleon-nim and the Yohos. This grace, how should I repay it all?”

Looking at Aine, who bowed her head deeply, Cleon shook her head approvingly.

“I’ve talked about it with Tamamo, but fighting the remnants of the empire is more of a ‘must do’ for me. Regarding the reward I talked about before, there’s no need to force myself.”

At Cleon’s words her, Aine raised her head with a surprised face.

“That… You can’t do that. Our Bangwidae considers it their creed to repay the grace they received. So, please don’t be burdened.”

“Hey, what the hell is that reward?”

When Quon talks like that and tries to ask a question to Bangwidae, Layla sneakily looks back at Quon.

When Quon and Layla’s eyes met, Quon said ‘ah’, blushed as if he knew something about her, then nodded her head.

“That’s right. Cleon…”

“…That’s why I’m saying it. I have no intention of taking on such a thing…”

When Cleon, who immediately realized what Quon was thinking, answered that, Aine turned to those two and shut her mouth for a moment.

“…I see. I understand. I’m going to step back for now, so I’ll see you later. Cleon-nim.”

“No. You don’t have to-“

Before Cleon finished speaking, Aine and the half-ghost bowed their heads and disappeared like the wind.

“It’s really fast.”

When Lila whistles and blows her whistle, Cleon sighs as he puts his forehead on her head as if it hurts.

“Are you worried about a popular guy?”

“Don’t tease me… You hate it too, don’t you?”

“Well… I’m honestly not jealous.”

At Cleon’s words her, Ryla also slightly blushes and pouts her lips, and Kuzunoha clears her throat and announces her presence her.

“Ah, ah, sorry. I showed a strange appearance.”

“Not at all. It doesn’t matter. Considering the spirit that brother has, it’s impossible to cover it with just one woman.”

Kuzunoha then looked at Cleon’s lips and then licked her own lips.

“Oh no!”

When Amelia steps forward as if to protect her Cleon from Kuzunoha, Kuzunoha sticks out her tongue and pulls her left eye with her index finger.

“I’m excited. I don’t have any intention of forcibly taking that brother away from you guys. Yes, I’m grateful for the help, but…”

“Whew.”

When Amelia shows an openly relieved attitude, Kuzunoha looks at Cleon and talks.

“What is this kid like?”

“…No comment.”

Cleon answered and dodged her question.

Kuzunoha stares at Cleon while frowning a little, but then shakes her head and talks.

“Well. Anyway. I’ve thought about it a bit. What to do next. I’m still not in the mood to fully forgive Tamamo-that guy. If that’s the case, being in the brothel any longer is just embarrassing to both of us.”

“Are you thinking of leaving the brothel?”

“Yeah. Hakumen’s Magatama- I need to do more research on how to deal with this, though.”

After answering Cleon’s question like that, Kuzunoha talks while looking at Cleon.

“Still, I’m worried about going out of brothels without a job. I asked that ‘noble woman’ earlier to try to get a job.”

“…What did you ask?”

She seems to have said something, something absurd, so when Cleon asks her head her shyly, she talks.

“Please let me enter the ogre ligaments.

Cleon looked at her words with a slightly dazed expression, and then she shook her head.

“I must have been rejected.”

“That’s right! They said that anti-ghosts would have to undergo a demonization operation. I replied that it was a bit impossible, but they said no…”

The way she put her hands on both her waists and puffed out her cheeks her, indignantly, had the expression of a 15-year-old girl who looked a little down on society.

“That’s too bad…”

When her Cleon speaks appropriately to appease her, Kuzunoha’s eyes sparkle as she sees such a Cleon.

“So, I’ve been thinking of another job!”

“—I have a very foreboding feeling, but can I listen to it?”

“Wait Cleon. I have that ominous feeling too.”

When Layla said that she agreed with Cleon, Quondo gulped nervously next to her.

“Brother! Bring me to your party too!”

001

After the voice of “No!!” Loud enough to resonate throughout the brothel, the party trudged back to the headquarters of the Amryong Company with their tired bodies.

There was no Kuzunoha behind them, but neither Cleon nor Laila nor Kuondo or Sasha. And even Amelia looked tired.

Clearly, Kuzunoha’s explosive remarks her were the cause of being so tired after spending the night on a comfortable soft futon.

All she said was that she wanted to put herself in Cleon’s party.

Of course, everyone except for Cleon and Quon raised their voices against it, so Kuzunoha let her go on the spot, but-

Cleon, too, was not in favor of accepting her into her party her, so rather, it was fortunate that her others opposed it.

“I don’t know what young people these days are thinking…”

As Lila sighs and grumbles as she frantically puts her hand to her forehead, Quon smiles troubledly.

“Is that so…”

The reason why Quon could n’t speak bitterly about her or voice her dissent her was because he knew very well that Quon herself had influenced her expression her to a large extent.

Perhaps, it was an attempt that resulted from thinking about ‘what I want to do’.

Unlike Banguidae, who gave up enlisting, it seemed like he hadn’t given up on joining the party, so I’m still worried.

“Uh, anyway. Wouldn’t it be something to be so vehemently opposed to? At least, while we’re in the East, it wouldn’t be bad to act together…”

“For that, it’s too dangerous to get involved in our affairs, Quon. Soon, because of the Five Elements, a group of inspectors will come from the kingdom.”

“Ugh… That’s right… Sorry, I may have been careless.”

At Lila’s words, Quondo nods and admits that his words her were a mistake.

“Anyway. The most important thing now is how to wake ‘Lilim’.”

When Cleon said that, Layla nodded and then pointed at Cleon.

“No. That’s true, but it’s also a problem with Galatea and Caliburn. That sword.”

While saying that, Layla’s finger moved her and pointed at the gray sword hanging from Cleon’s waist her.

If you look closely, the black sword is covered with irregular white stripes, and the sword has an unstable shape.

Galatea and Caliburn at the same time.

It was both a demonic sword and a holy sword at the same time.

In a strange situation where two presences were felt in one sword, Cleon could not properly control the sword, where even the body became one.

If you inject even a little power into it, it will be violently amplified and returned, to the point of snapping Cleon’s fingers.

In addition, even Galatea and Caliburn, who are internal personalities, do not respond properly, perhaps because each other’s personalities are mixed.

If it continues like this, perhaps- the personalities of the two might be completely mixed.

It was a situation that I was reluctant to think about.

“I know the cause. Yesterday, Galatea copied Caliburn’s power, absorbed the resonant Caliburn – no, integrated it? Your power is special, so be careful when using it.”

“I thought I was paying close enough attention…But I wasn’t enough.”

Cleon nodded her head, feeling Lyla’s words keenly.

Indeed-Cleon’s power jumps significantly when Galatea takes full control, but as her disfavor her continues, she slows down in resolving the situation.

If you don’t find a way to fix this condition, you’ll be at a loss as to what to do when you have to fight another enemy.

“I have to find a way until the Five Elements system starts… Haa, I’m really busy.”

“Cleon, is there any way to guess? I’ve never heard of a holy sword and a demonic sword merging into one, but…”

Cleon also shook her head at Quon’s question, and Sasha shut her mouth for a moment before she spoke.

“Perhaps-as before, when Mr. Galatea was pregnant with Caliburn, did she not have a nucleus conceived within her?”

“Eh!? Was Caliburn born by Galatea!?”

When Amelia speaks loudly, as if shocked by Sasha’s words, Sasha turns to Amelia and talks.

“That’s right! Caliburn was originally someone else’s holy sword, but Galatea-san absorbed the core, and then with the magic of Cleon-san’s semen-“

“Sah, Sasha. Maybe you’re talking too sensitively in broad daylight…”

People on the street turn to her in surprise when the word ‘semen’ comes out of Sasha’s mouth her.

Sasha blinked her eyes for a moment, then blushed and bowed her head in embarrassment.

“That… What did you do at that time?”

“I waited inside Galatea for Caliburn to finish regenerating… When Cleon was in a critical situation, Caliburn popped out.”

“But Galatea at that time couldn’t even take the form of a sword, and she was like a pregnant woman with a really bloated stomach. She might be a little different from now.”

At Cleon’s answer her, Layla nodded her head as well.

“In that case. I’ll have to look through the books… But I can’t even go to the Academy’s Forbidden Library- ah~!”

Then, as he screamed while covering his head, Cleon shut his mouth for a moment.

“No… Regarding swords, maybe it’s best to ask someone who knows a lot about swords. A blacksmith… Or something.”

At Cleon’s words her, Leila tilts her head.

“…Magic swords and holy swords? Is there anything an ordinary blacksmith can know?”

“Unexpectedly.”

While saying that, Cleon recalled the image of him in his head of her.

“Well. Maybe nothing is better than having no clue… Is it all-night?”

Laila said that as she stretched out, and Sasha raised her voice as she clasped both of her hands.

“Boo, sure. Everything will be fine!”

“…That’s right, if Sasha says it, that’s for sure.”

After looking at Sasha like that, Kuono smiles a little, and finally passes the threshold of the dark dragon shop and goes to the inn.

“Innis. You must have been watching Emma closely.”

“Since Schrödinger is there, there should be no problem. Yesterday the store was closed, so Illenu must have been there too.”

“Ah- Come to think of it, I have to find a way to break Emma’s curse- Ugh!”

Lila has so much to do! As she raised her voice, Amelia looked at her with a wry smile.

And, when you finally open the front door of the inn.

“Fiat!”

With a cute voice, something jumped out of the front door and jumped into Cleon’s arms her.

It was heavy to the touch, and the height reached her own waist her.

And, soft skin and apron-like cloth.

“Eh, Emma…?”

Cleon looked down carefully to see if he thought it was Emma, ​​but-

There, her hair with brown hair and a white bridge pointed into it.

And, on the wings of a bird on the back of her, both feet are the paws of a lion.

Cleon’s expression hardened in an instant at the presence of a girl he hadn’t seen before looking up at him with cute golden eyes.

“””Ah.”””

When Amelia, Sasha, and Layla all open their mouths at once, as if they remembered her the moment they saw her.

Cleon turns to the three behind her.

“Ah~! Come on, Papa! Master! You were guarding the house just as you were ordered!”

Then, Innis walks out from the inside and greets the group with an expressionless expression, and Emma peeks out from underneath.

“…Lyla.”

“Uh, uh… Sorry. I completely forgot to tell you.”

“Yeah, actually yesterday… Gonzalez-“

While saying that, Cleon looked down at the girl in her arms her, and shut her mouth for a moment due to the ‘Griffon’ energy he felt from her.

“Is this Gonzalez?”

“…Yes.”

Amelia also answered without hesitation, but her expression remained dark.

“Pit?”

Looking at Gonzalez, who tilts her head at her own name being called, Cleon talks.

“Sasha.”

“Yes.”

“You’d better change your name.”

Sasha was silent for a moment at Cleon’s words her, then she nodded her head in agreement.

“I-I thought it was… A male… Me too.”

“Yeah… Me too.”

── In a situation where it seemed that there were not one or two problems to be solved, something happened that overturned their common sense.

“A gryphon that knows how to polymorph. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, so am I… “

Hearing Lyla say that while complaining, Cleon nodded her head, guessing at her struggles her.
