E3 Chapter 22

: the laid back life in the Great forest [2]

[N POV]

Within Gustav's house, the village chief

It's a house on top of a tree and the largest house in this village.

It's a three-story building constructed from wood on top of a tree.

They wondered if it would be okay if something like an earthquake hit, but it didn't even shake a bit when the adults were running around inside.

They are the Dedoldia race.

The Dedoldia race patriarch, Gustav.

And his son, warrior leader Gyes,

The one Rudeus saved from the smugglers was Gyes's second daughter, Minitona.

It seems the eldest daughter, Rinia, is studying in another country.

And then there was also a daughter of the Adoldia race mixed in with those we saved.

The Adoldia race patriarch's second daughter, Terusena,

A dog girl with big breasts

There were plans to return to the Adoldia village, but the rainy season started up on the way, so she'll be staying here for three months.

Incidentally, even among the beast race, it seems those with the blood of the Dedoldia can be sold for a high price to a certain country's nobles.

In particular, children who can be trained easily are aimed at often.

A certain country's nobles.

‘It sounds like a story I've heard somewhere!’ Rudeus thought.

"The nobles of Asura can't afford to be lax with stuff like this!"

'The Eris-girl over there!'

'Why are you saying it is unrelated to you!'

'There are likely people with a mouse-like family name related to this from the start!'

‘I've never heard anything along those lines from the butlers and maids at Eris' house, but there’s a possibility that they were abducted like this. ’

Sauros Boreas Greyrat is a good person, but he has a slightly different viewpoint.

‘Yeah, for the time being, I'll keep quiet about this.’

It's better to say nothing at this time.

Just as Rudeus thought that Eris had just happened to remember something and showed him the ring she was wearing.

"Come to think of it, do you know Ghislaine? This ring is Ghislaine's. "

She can't speak in the Beast God's language.

Therefore, it was in human language.

The only ones here who can use the human language outside of Ruijerd and myself are Gustav and Gyes.

"Ghislaine…?"

Then Gyes made a grim face.

"Is she still alive?"

"Eh?"

That voice was filled with disgust.

A voice, as if he was going to throw up.

Then a single word.

"She was the disgrace of the family."

Those words were just the start of Gyes's bashing of Ghislaine. In the human language, which Eris could understand.

Then he told us how much of a failure she was, how inappropriate she was as a younger sister, and such. Gyes had a voice filled with indifferent emotion.

Since Ghislaine had saved Rudeus's life before, it was a subject that he couldn't listen to anymore.

It seems she did some rather mean things when living in this village. However, that is talk from when she was a child.

The Ghislaine they know is a clumsy person who gives it her all.

Someone who does everything carefully and puts her heart into it.

She's not a person who deserves to be talked about like this.

Rudeus respects Ghislaine as a sword teacher and a magic student that he can brag about.

That's why, somehow or other...

'Please stop it.' Rudeus thought, trying to stop himself.

"That ring is also something she got from our mother after recklessly acting out. There really was no meaning to it. She was an idiot who only knew how to break things. "

"You--"

"Shut up! What do you know about Ghislaine!"

BAM!

Interrupting Rudeus’ words, Eris started screaming at them in a loud voice. In a voice loud enough that I thought the house would break, the Dedoldia family faces were frowning.

Claude kicked Gyes out of the house, and he suddenly flew out. Then, he shrugged and came out of the house to pick up the injured Gyes. Claude threw him on the hard floor.

The only ones who understand human language are Gustav and Gyes.

The other few who heard Eris suddenly start yelling and throwing Gyes were dumbfounded.

I thought Eris would start acting out violently, but Claude acted violently.

However, Eris just made a mortifying face, and tears started welling up in her eyes. Her fists were shaking with anger, but she didn't move to strike.

"Ghislaine is my teacher! She's the number one person I respect! "

‘I know.’

How well do Ghislaine and Eris get along together?

She is the one that Eris trusts the most.

far more than Rudeus.

"Ghislaine is amazing! extremely amazing! If I need help, she will quickly come to my rescue! extremely fast! And extremely strong! "

Eris started yelling out all sorts of words she didn't know herself.

Even if you couldn't understand why, the meaning was understood with that bitter voice.

At the very least, she said everything I wanted to say.

"Ghislaine is... hikku... egu... To say something... like that... hic. "

Eris continued to give her best not to strike them while her tears started to flow.

‘That's right, you shouldn't hit Gyes here.’ Rudeus then glares at Claude.

Ghislaine was hated for her violence in this village.

She would always act violently as she pleased.

If Eris were to strike him, it would prove Gyes's words.

That means you and she are the same.

Gyes started to panic as he watched that. When he remembered Claude’s kick beside him, that still healed him.

"No, but..." It can't be that Ghislaine has... respect? How could that be? "

After Rudeus saw that, he calmed his anger.

"We should probably stop talking about this topic."

I proposed that while embracing Eris.

Eris looked at me like she couldn't believe it when I proposed that.

"Why? Rudeus? Did you hate Ghislaine? "

"I like Ghislaine as well."

But...

"The Ghislaine we know and the Ghislaine they know are different people with the same name."

Then Rudeus looks at the confused Gyes while saying that.

He would probably change his mind if he met the current Ghislaine.

People change as time passes.

Since Rudeus is the one saying it, there's no mistake.

Eris couldn't accept it.

However, she did, for the most part, let go of it.

"No, has Ghislaine really become such a respectable person?"

"At the very least, she is someone I respect."

After saying that, Gyes made a face, lost in thought.

Claude, who had finished his healing, slapped Gyes in the back.

"He’s someone I’m indebted to." Even if Ghislaine is a bit of an exhibitionist, looking at the people here, she might be better. But, hearing you mocking her like that, I'll undoubtedly kill you on the spot if you’re someone I don’t know. "

After hearing that story just now, it seems like all sorts of things happened between him and Ghislaine.

Those must have been things that he felt could never be forgiven.

The relationship between blood is relatively severe.

especially since it's a blood relative.

Some things are unforgivable, no matter how many years pass.

"Since that is the case, will you apologize?"

"I'm sorry about that."

What a soothing atmosphere it's become.

‘In any case, Ghislaine, huh.’

They had forgotten about it this past year, but she should have gotten dragged into that teleport.

‘I wonder where she is and what she's doing in the world.’

‘Since it's her, I imagine she's off searching for Eris and me…’

Rudeus regrets being unable to gather information in Saint Port.

"Now tell me, how does Ghislaine get out of the forest when she’s a child?"

Claude suddenly asks Gyes and glares at Gustav. Since Gustav is Gyes's grandfather, he should know something more than the younger Gyes at that time.

There, they tell the story of a young and wild girl no one can deal with.

Ghislaine was already a prodigy when she was small.

She was someone that couldn’t be chained and feared by the villagers.

Claude snipped their story, and Ruijerd also agreed with his remark.

"You fear a girl, no, a warrior better than you... How cute... "

"You do know that if she can already do something that great since she had her child, it can also be possible for her to become stronger than Gyes right now… no, she’s already stronger than Gyes. Right now, you do know what the title of Sword King is entitled, right? "

From what Claude said, both Gustav and Gyes had sadness in their eyes.

"For a weakling that was defeated by a mere Saint to be a smuggler, you had a stupid brain, eh..."

"Leaving aside the fact that the one who keeps the small Ghislaine is the former Sword God, Gal Farion, aside. Are you sure you guys are the village strongest and the village chief right now? "

"Please, it’s already the past. We can never know what the future holds because what we see that day is a human monster in human skin...." Gustav suddenly said

"She’s still a damn child, though." sigh... I guess the only one who knew the meaning of what a family is in this room was just Ruijerd and me, huh...."

Claude said while looking at Ruijerd.

He can already see the agreement in Rudeus’ eyes towards what the Doldian did to Ghislaine. Although he despises what they choose, Rudeus accepts it as the best option.

Eris is just too young to understand the meaning of abandoning such a young child while she’s still too immature.

However, Ruijerd, the last in his race, sends his disapproval-filled gaze toward them just like Claude.

"Sigh... I am too lazy to have a debate... Just so you know, the monster in human skin you all feared is no more. The one that’s in your memory is The Swords God Style, Sword King, Ghislaine Dedoldia. Someone that can easily destroy the smuggling rings encroaching on your territory, not just once or twice... "

"Bear it in mind that your past choice is a mistake… I believe that a family is something that must be protected no matter how bad they are, unless they wish for your demise... "

With that, Claude left the house while Ruijerd sighed and sat down.

The melancholy in his expression can be seen in everyone in the house.

He is the last of his race.

The spear in his hand is something his child gave to him.

As the last person in the race, he can only reminisce about the past and drown in the sorrow...
