Chapter 113

“…”

I looked at Ihelm. His appearance had changed quite a bit since the time I met him in Bercht; now, he was skinny and pale.

“Did you go on a diet?”

“They said that it is hard to avoid the happiness of others. The world is boring. It feels like I’m eating moths with every breath.”

Ihelm offered a sour smile as he tried to provoke me. I saw the mana fluttering next to him with my Vision.

“You’ve grown quite a bit even though you say that.”

“…Don’t pretend you know something. What do you know?”

The Ihelm I knew was not a very special Named. Of course, in pure magical talent, he was superior to Deculein, but he was far short compared to many other powerful Named. But now, his mana purity was beyond my expectations.

“Hmph. But it’s amazing. I have whiskey, brandy, vodka, tequila, and all the drinks I could ever want to be brought in from the archipelago, but my magic insight is clearer than ever.”

Ihelm tilted his head, watching me with his red eyes.

“Is this also thanks to you? Deculein, Head Professor.”

“Probably. It seems that I have a talent for enlightening other people’s magical talents.”

“…Haha.”

Ihelm chuckled. But soon, his face contorted viciously.

“Deculein. I still don’t understand you, snake bastard. What are you going to do with Luna’s daughter?”

“…”

“Rather than kicking her out of the tower, you accepted her as a teaching assistant? When you had the chance to expel her, too.”

I buried my back in the chair without saying a word. Conversely, Ihelm pushed his upper body towards me.

“I thought about it a lot. If you resembled Decalane, one could have guessed about you accepting Luna’s daughter. But you don’t look like Decalane.”

─Then.

As consciousness sounded the alarm, a certain voice rang in my mind. It was Idnik.

-…I thought you would kill that child. Because the first person to discover that child was Decalane.

Ha-!

Ihelm’s sneered.
