Chapter 377 - Episode Twenty-Three -Attack of the Doom Tribe (3)

“Huh!? Abel-chan, what are you talking about? Are you serious? You’re kidding, right?”
Peter gets up from his seat and grabs me by the shoulders.
“Calm down, Peter-sama!”
Myunhi stands up and stops Peter.
“…… I’m sorry, Peter-san, but this is an important conversation, so please keep the volume down.”
I crossed my fingers in front of my mouth and made a batten to admonish Peter.
I was visiting the “Dwarf’s Lair” tavern in Fage territory with Mea, Peter and Myunhi.
In fact, it would have been better to borrow the basement from Lark again, since it was important to talk about it, but it was a bit over the top there, and I felt bad asking Lark to prepare it for us, so we decided to go to the tavern.
There was a risk of the story leaking out, but the more we discussed it, the more troublesome it became.
“B-B-But, do you understand? It’s not like you want to go into hiding at this time of year! No, no, no, of course not! You’ve built all those weapons in the Fage territory, and now you want to throw them all away and go into hiding somewhere else for a while!? We don’t know when Count Julem is going to make his move, you know! And on top of that, the reason is you don’t want to see your sister? You’re belittling that monster a little too much! You’re family, aren’t you? Why don’t you just reconcile with her!”
It was a surprisingly good argument.
I’ve never seen Peter this angry before.
The next moment, he could have grabbed me by the chest.
“Are you trying to destroy the world with your sibling fight, Abel-chan? Count Julem is really not a guy who can handle such a situation! I beg you …… I don’t want to put it this way, but I’ve invested so much money in Abel-chan as the kingdom has, you know Okay?”
“Yes ……”
“You don’t want to offend God Kudor, do you? The god Kudor is letting you go because he sees you as a force to be reckoned with, you know? If you betray him like this, it’s not strange if she does anything to you, you know?”
“That’s right ……”
I couldn’t even make a single sound.
Rather, why did I think it was okay to leave the Fage territory for a while?
“Please …… Can you please not do anything unnecessary at this time? I’m not sure what Count Julem thinks of Abel-chan, or how much he knows about you in the first place, but …… if you throw your duties away now and go into hiding, you will definitely be at Count Julem’s mercy.”
…… It’s not that I can’t come back, I just have to use high-speed movement magic to get there faster.
Since Kudor is a spirit, he can be summoned, so there is no delay in communicating important information.
But I can’t help but understand Peter’s point of view that he wants to kill any eventuality.
“In the first place, Abel-chan moving at this time itself may be a plot by Count Julem. I wonder if this Firo girl is real? Isn’t she actually a fake?”
“It’s not possible. …… You’re thinking too much. It’s Firo we’re talking about, after all.”
“Isn’t that girl being manipulated? It’s possible that she’s being unintentionally manipulated by Count Julem, just like me.”
“No …… that’s not possible.”
When it comes to Count Julem, Peter seems to be reading too much into it.
But it’s no wonder.
At the first contact, he was forced to bend his life from Pope to a lich-like monster, and at the second contact, he was told that Count Julem had been right in resurrecting Kudor.
Any normal person would have been broken-hearted at that point, and would have become a coward.
Even though you have the hope of finding Kudor, the fact that you still have the will to stand up to Count Julem is quite a strong mentality.
“…… It can’t be helped. I’ll help you as much as I can, no matter how trivial the quarrel is between you siblings. So, please don’t do anything unnecessary. “
Peter let out a deep, exhausted breath.
“Yes ……”
Inwardly, I thought that if I met Gizel in her current state, Count Julem would be no more, but it would be difficult to convince Peter, so I decided to give up trying to persuade him.
“I see…… I thought that as long as Abel-chan and God Kudor were there, I could get away with it by force, but if he’s attacking that way …… Hah ……”
As Peter looked up at the ceiling of the store, he muttered to himself.
“…… I understand that Peter-san wants to suspect everything, but please don’t blame Count Julem for my family’s problems. “
Mea was uncomfortably sipping on some water from the store.
I don’t think she was thirsty.
She’s been drinking the little bit of water that’s left in her glass, little by little, to cover up the fact that she can’t hold it.
“If you’ll excuse me, shopkeeper. I was told that you have a daughter of our people here. ……”
I heard a voice from the door.
I thought it was a strange turn of phrase, but I didn’t know who it was referring to.
But the moment I heard the voice, Mea’s eyes widened and her face lifted toward the door.
So I somehow guessed that it was someone Mea knew.
“Mea, do you know them?”
I said, looking back toward the door.
A group of robed Doom Tribesmen was standing there.
“Uncle Dafne ……?”
Mea muttered.
The man at the front of the Doom tribe looked at Mea, and then at his companions.
“…… There’s no doubt about it, Mea-sama …… no, it’s Redstone.”
He turned to Mea again.
“H-How, no way, why is Uncle Dafne is ……”
She is in a state of shock.
Mea had previously been so stressed that the mere knowledge that she was being followed by the Doom tribe had caused her to have physical problems.
We should have avoided staying in one place.
I got out of my seat and stood in front of them.
“What do you want with Mea now? I’ve heard about it from Mea. The Doom tribe is so backward that the whole tribe harasses her just because she doesn’t have magic crystals when she fell.”
The man who seemed to be the leader of the group stood in the front and poked the floor with the tail of the spear in his hand.
A sharp sound echoed through the store, and the entire place fell silent.
“Marren tribe, huh. You may be different in form, but you will always stand before us, don’t you? It feels like fate. In the history of the world, we have been defeated by the Marrens three times …… However, you should not underestimate us. I don’t have the hobby to surround you and torture you, there is also this difference in numbers. I’m not going to mess with you if you don’t turn on me.”
This is the man that Mea referred to as Uncle Dafne.
“…… We’re going to cause trouble in the store if we do it here. Can we go outside? There’s no way you’re getting away with this, anyway.”
I make sure that the Ortem that I used to protect me is still on Mea’s feet.
They can’t break through it if they don’t do anything unusual, but ……
“I’m sorry, Peter-san, but that’s it for today’s discussion.”
I got up from my seat and stared at Dafne.
He was in his mid-forties and had a rather dull appearance.
When he poked the floor with his spear tail earlier, there was a tremendous sound.
He don’t have a large body, but he had a tremendous amount of physical strength.
