Chapter 878 – The Conditions for Assistance Are…

000

Aine’s younger sisters had no choice but to wait for Lila, who disappeared without listening to their ‘wait!’ Calls.

At first, she just watched the scene blankly, but when Sasha and Amelia, who were next to her, apologized on Laila’s behalf, she soon came to her senses and had no choice but to wave her hands that it was okay.

＂I will apologize on your behalf…＂

＂Layla is someone who has a bit of that side to her… ＂

Although she couldn’t say it directly in front of her, Sasha agreed that they were influenced to a large extent by Lila’s side.

“Are you okay! Rather, we should be sorry! What can I say… I feel like it has become a form of urging…”

To Sasha and Amelia, when Zwei lowers her head, Dryne folds her arms and nods her head as if she understands.

“Yeah, Lila definitely had a different personality than the other party members… She seemed like a hot-tempered person. Oh, of course she doesn’t mean bad? Should I say she has good acting skills…”

“It’s dry… It’s rude anyway.”

She is the second-born child who gives love to her youngest child, but seeing as she does not deny it, it seems that she feels the same way.

Of course, Sasha and Amelia also agreed, so they couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.

“But Lila is amazing. Most of the things she says she will do actually happen.”

“Not all of them are like that… But most of them are like that. Especially after coming to the royal capital, I should say that he became like a wizard in a different sense…”

Of course, Lila has made countless mistakes and failures on her way to this point.

As Amelia, she had only heard of Lila through rumors and stories before coming to the royal capital. Even so, Sasha knows that Lila was bullied by Cleon once, so she can make objective comments and evaluations about her. There was

After having a happy conversation with the girls who have formed a consensus for a short while-

Not even 20 minutes after Lila goes to pick up Aine, a portal opens in her garden once again.

＂I’m back! Sorry, I waited a long time, right?”

“Oh, no! … You probably didn’t hear what I just said, right?”

When Zwei spoke quietly as if he was anxious, Sasha and Amelia avoided looking at Drayne.

＂Hey! This is where Lila lives in the Eastern Country!”

However, at the same time, at the sound of a woman’s voice coming through the portal after Layla, the two people’s eyes naturally turned to Layla.

She looked surprised as she saw the tall green haired woman pop out from behind her.

＂Beh, Mr. Ventuna?!＂

“It’s been a while, Sasha! And Lia!”

Although she greeted her in a friendly manner, Sasha and Amelia seemed to not know how to accept her sudden appearance.

Naturally, she would turn her gaze to Lila as if demanding an explanation, but when Lila came into her living room and snapped her fingers, Ventuna answered, ‘Yes, yes.’

The two people she carried on her shoulders were put down in her living room.

Naturally, it was Aine and Quartz who had lost their minds and were left to rest at her house.

＂Sister!＂

The two people who saw that quickly ran over and looked at the two people lying on the ground. As Aine had the trait of being a half-demon, her wounds had fully recovered.

However, in the case of Quartz, something was broken, and a rope was tied to the injured body, which was a measure that could not be taken on a patient.

Of course, at first, Dreine and Zwei would not have recognized that the woman placed with Aine was Quartz.

That’s because, although the atmosphere of Quartz itself remained, he looked decades younger than the Quartz they knew.

However, upon looking at her closely, she was able to find the remains of her benefactor in her face and that she was their elder.

＂Quar, Quartz? Is this a beautiful girl who has a somewhat cold appearance but also possesses exquisite beauty…? “Are you really our elder, Mr. Quartz?”

When Dry Ne says that, Zwei also nods her head.

＂These trained muscles, and the scars here… There’s no doubt about it. This is an old man. Just like your sister said, you have really become younger…”

Of course, it was clear that the thing that did that was an enemy to be hated.

“Well, why are you still tied up with a rope even though you’re so injured? If you don’t release it…”

While saying that, when Zwei tried to untie her rope, there was someone who stopped her.

＂Wait a minute.＂

The one who spoke was none other than ‘Ventuna’.

“… Now that I think about it, who is this person? Another colleague of Cleon? “

When Zwei questions Lila, looking a little warily at Ventuna, who blocks her, Lila shrugs her shoulders and answers.

“I’m not Cleon’s colleague… I should say I’m a businessman doing business in my hometown.”

＂That’s too much! Is it okay to end the description of her friend like that?”

“So, is that setting still continuing?”

Ventuna rebelled against Laila’s cold attitude by puffing out her cheeks.

Draine and Zwei looked at each other for a moment and then-

＂You were Laila’s friend…＂

Immediately, she recognized and accepted her as her friend.

“No, did you just hear me talking about him?”

Of course, Lila reacted as if she was dumbfounded by the attitude of those two people.

＂Seeing that Lila accepts that attitude, I guess you are her friend. ＂

“He also seems like a very close friend.”

I don’t know where to look, but Lila was sighing with her hand on her forehead.

＂Rather, she is that woman ─＂

＂It’s Quartz.＂

“─Yes, it is better not to untie the rope that is tied to Quartz’s body. The woman on the other side… You, sister? Was it Aine? Before she fainted, she said that there was a possibility that her brainwashing had not yet worn off, and that she might attack again once she was able to move her body.”

She respects Zwei’s opinion and corrects the part about calling her that woman. If Ventuna explains to it that way, the two sisters will look at Quartz at the same time and look worried.

＂Then… Does this mean that maybe the brainwashing won’t go away forever, and we might have to leave it like this…?＂

＂Smoke… Se? Because I don’t know that either. Lila, don’t you know anything?”

As Ventuna said that, she passed the baton to Lila, and Lila seemed to be thinking as she muttered at her words.

“If it’s brainwashing through magic, I can undo it by looking at it later… But it’s the exiled church. Also, wouldn’t it be bothersome if I used technology from the original world or something? At that time, I had no choice but to ask Artis to analyze it.”

The two people who heard Laila’s words let out a small sigh.

In any case, there is nothing we can do about it right now.

“… Then, we’ll go and move Quartz and my sister to the mansion. Even if I keep it here, it would be a nuisance…”

As Dryene said that and held her quartz side, Zwei also nodded her head and carefully hugged her Aine.

“It’s not really a nuisance or anything like that. Treatment will be easier in your mansion than here.”

“If anything happens, please come to our mansion right away.”

After hearing Laila and Sasha’s words, the two sisters bow their heads once again.

“… Thank you again for helping us rescue the elderly man.”

＂This grace must be…＂

＂Okay, okay. Next time, don’t repay Cleon with your body, but think of another way.”

Layla spoke while waving her hand, and at those words, Ventuna looked at Layla with an expression of shock.

“What!? “So you’re saying they’re all in a relationship with Cleon?”

＂Should I say they are two…＂

In response to Ventuna’s question, Lila pauses for a moment and looks around.

He pointed his finger at each person here, and finally pointed at himself…

＂The only people here that are like Cleon are you and Gonzales out there.’

＂──.＂

Ventuna couldn’t help but look shocked once again at Lila’s words.

Sasha and Amelia’s cheeks blushed, and González pricked up his ears and raised his head in response to his name being called.

“I didn’t call you.”

When Lila said that, she rolled over to sleep again.

“What. It’s understandable to make that expression. I have some suspicions that Cleon may be the incarnation of the wind spirit. Still, being kind to other girls… Wait, are you listening, Ventuna?”

As Ventuna continues to maintain a serious expression, as if her shock once received is not going away easily, Lila wrinkles her brow and asks her.

“Wait, are you listening, Ventuna?”

“… I’m on the same level as that Griffin…?”

“Ah, that’s the part where you’re shocked.”

Lila felt a little uneasy as something struck her differently than she expected.

That’s why, thinking that it would be better to quickly find a way to resolve her situation rather than keep her here, she took her to her own workshop.

At that time.

＂… Lila went, right?＂

By speaking out, she is a girl who reveals herself.

Brown skin, green hair, purple eyes.

She was Galatea no matter how she looked, but her appearance, wearing an oversized black t-shirt, had shrunk to that of a girl of about 7 or 8 years old.

And next to her, a girl with blonde hair wearing a white shirt with the same design, holding Galatea’s hand tightly.

Likewise, Caliburn is now about 5 to 6 years old.

＂It looks like other people are gone too~＂

She also spoke in her young voice, and Amelia and Sasha looked nervous and nodded at her.

“Good. Then, as I said earlier… Move Cleon to the room. Let’s start when you’re ready.”

“Are you really going to do it?”

When Sasha asks a careful question about Galatea’s words, which seem to indicate something about her, Galatea nods her head.

“Of course. You hope Cleon recovers quickly, right? We don’t want to remain in this disorganized state.”

‘Isn’t it just that Galatea’s pride is hurt by her being in her child form…?’

Sasha was a little suspicious.

＂Amelia, are you okay~?＂

“I’m fine. Because I’ve already made up my mind.”

When Amelia nodded with her stern look on her face, Caliburn gave her a knowing smile.

“Indeed. Floating above are the remains of the original world.”

Ventuna looked up at the sky from Lila’s workshop and looked at Vajra floating majestically above it, with an expression of admiration.

“It’s so huge and beautiful that you can see it even from here. Of course, I want to add it to my collection.”

“Ha!? Did you follow me for that purpose!?”

Layla raised her voice as if she was dumbfounded by Ventuna’s words, and Bea became restless as she looked at Layla like that.

“La, Lila, calm down. Professor, please say something too…!”

She was asked by Bea to calm her down, but Anatis was concentrating on examining Ventuna from a distance, with her hand on her chin.

＂Is this a spirit that gained human flesh… This is precious.＂

＂Wow…＂

Bea reacts with a bit of despair at Anatis’ curiosity.

＂It’s a joke, it’s a joke. Anyway, all you have to do is rescue the person who is representing the power source over there and prevent the fortress from falling at high speed and crashing to the ground, right?”

As Ventuna said that, she seemed to be thinking about something as she rubbed the ends of her bangs.

“Okay. If we just resolve that, the battle against Asteris against this damned exiled church will be over. Do you have any ideas?”

When Lila asked her a question in a tone that seemed like she was half looking at her and not expecting much, Ventuna smiled and brushed her bangs.

And, she confidently answers Laila.

“Of course. Ventuna can handle a fortress like that.”

“Yes, I guess so. There is such an easy way… Ha!?”

Lila was astonished by her Ventuna’s confident words, and of course, so was Beatrix, who was listening quietly.

“… Hehe. But there is one condition~ If Lila agrees to this. She can do anything ~＂

“… Well, what is it? I’ll tell you in advance, it’s the key to our family…”

When Lila asked back with an anxious expression, Ventuna quietly opened her mouth with a smile on her face.

And – the words she uttered shocked everyone in her studio –

At the same time…

＂…＂

Anatis made a huge face and glared at Ventuna.
