Chapter 121

Each of them was extremely strong, and only the elves could survive... As far as he knew, they were all women, of course, not including Celia.

But compared to the details of the "legend" he recalled, Rabinie was betrayed by his childhood friend, and his face was instantly dyed red with shame, and he stamped his feet in excitement:

"——No! If you say nonsense again, I will..."

"Okay, okay~ I know you are all good children, don't quarrel." Although he was at the door of his own house, he could only stroke the two girls with one hand each, trying to calm them down: "Good boy~ Good boy~"

"Don't treat me as a little kid's father! Wu" Rabinie glared at him angrily, but did not slap his (hand) away. Connie squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

He comforted her for a while, then looked at his house which was lit not far away, and asked curiously:

"By the way, are you guys here to play today? If possible, can you tell me... how the people inside are feeling now?"

"Yes, yes~! I know!" Connie raised his hand as if to answer a question, but Rabinie showed a gloating smile and continued: "--Flilian and Philen are very angry now, you are finished!"

"Uh, is Yubel adding fuel to the fire with you? This is really a bit unkind, isn't it?"

"Yubel accepted the commission of the association and went to the empire. She also said that she would be back soon and asked you to wait for her here."

"....Really? Well, let's just ignore her." The strange rumors made him a little annoyed, so he simply gave up caring about the weird girl. The woman turned and said puzzledly: "I can understand that Philen is angry, but why is Fulilian angry?"

"... This..." Rabinie's expression suddenly became strange, which made him guess: "Because Philen is very angry? So Fulilian is also angry?"

"No, no, no, actually... woo?!" Connie wanted to help him explain, but Rabinie suddenly blocked her mouth and quickly pulled her home, even turning back at the end to show a meaningful smile: "You will know immediately after you go back~! We will go back today."

"It's almost dark, how about I take you..."

"——No, no~ Go back quickly~"

Rabinie directly rejected his kindness and forcibly dragged Connie away, leaving him standing there blankly.

Although he didn't understand what happened, he couldn't figure it out at this moment, so he could only go home to see the situation.

..............................

..............................

Although it had been about a week, the house still looked the same as when she left. When she opened the door, she could still see the familiar lazy elf, sweeping the floor diligently with a dejected look.

Based on past situations, it must be that Philen wanted to train her and half-forced her to do housework.

But when the door was pushed open from the outside, Fulilian subconsciously looked up.

At first, she thought it was Connie or Rabinie who forgot something and walked back again.

However, when she saw the familiar figure, Fulilian's expression was dull for a moment, then she silently raised the broom in her hand and walked towards him briskly, with a smile on her face:

"Finally back, Ash... I've missed you so much these days."

"--Wait a minute! Why don't you move? Explain why you raised the broom? You look like you're going to hit someone?" Ash instinctively felt the danger and subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

"What's the problem? Aren't we friends? You don't want to be on guard against me? Come here, I'll show you something good." Fulilian emphasized the friendship and quickened her pace, without any intention of stopping.

"Don't be like this. I'm a little scared. What's the matter? Can we sit down and have a good chat?"

"No!" Fulilian snorted and threw the broom directly at his head.

Ash, who was walking backwards, dodged sideways and spread his hands in frustration: "——So why? You want to beat me up, you have to give me an explanation, right?"

"——You didn't even give me a chance to explain, and now you want me to explain to you??"

"Sorry, what are you talking about? I don't understand you at all!"

"I felt the same way not long ago!!"

"When did I not give you a chance to explain?"

"It's all because of you that I was almost killed! And twice!——Twice! Do you know how I feel now? When I see you, I can't wait to kill you, you bastard who has no reason to cause trouble for me!"

........

Ash was running away in front of him in a daze, and the originally stable V Flillian was in a state of confusion, and even got so excited that she picked up a broom and scolded him while chasing him and waving it.

The two of them chased each other in the courtyard for a long time. Philen opened the door when he heard the noise, but after seeing that it was Ash who was being chased, he closed the door again without any expression, leaving him outside to be chased by Fulilian with a broom.

"What bad things did I do? Why are you so angry?" He jumped onto the roof with tears in his eyes. Fulilian rolled up her sleeves and waved the broom below to scold:

"If you have the ability, don't come down! Are you pretending not to know what you did?"

"No... Although I may have done a little bit of improper things, you should at least tell me what it was?"

It was like being driven to the roof by his mother. He felt bitter when facing the unexpected situation. He even couldn't help wondering if she found out that he was a demon.

It was at this time that Fulilian finally calmed down a little. She slapped the front end of the broom on the ground and raised her head with strong dissatisfaction: "Zanze, Lyellen... You know these two people, right?"

"Of course, but... did they offend you? But they are all good children, unlike you. It should be you who made the mistake first, right?"

"——What good children? Those two lunatics want to kill me one by one!!"

"Uh... No? Why?" Fulilian's inexplicably aggrieved and angry answer made Ash feel very confused and even doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

Fulilian's funeral·The journey officially began: Chapter 48 The harm of smuggling goods·Zanze: Please go through the main door next time·Fulilian cried again

Yash, who was lying on the eaves, listened to Fulilian's strange remarks below and always felt... very confused!

He even suspected that he was innocent enough to compete with Dou E.

In the courtyard, Fulilian, who was leaning on a broom, just looked up and glared at him: "Don't play innocent, think carefully! What did you say to fool people!"

"...Did I say anything?"

Could it be that he had sowed discord between the two parties, ah, no, the three parties? ——Ash was a little suspicious for a moment, whether he had said something bad about Fulilian to Zanze and Lyon.

But he didn't care? He didn't have that impression, so he couldn't help but look down x-on:The broom girl was confused:

".....I really still don't understand, and even if that's the case, it must be because you have had some grudges with them that I can stir up trouble, right? If so, what does it have to do with me?"

"You...want to take the responsibility away from yourself now?"

"You misunderstood, what I meant was that they had a grudge against you, and even if you want to find someone responsible, you should find Celia, right? Why are you looking for me? Aren't you bullying an honest person now?"

"——What kind of an honest person are you?" Fulilian almost laughed out of anger: "It's clearly your fault, and you still don't admit it now?"

"Then you At least tell me where I went wrong!"

"Zanze was not harmed by you, so he was easier to convince, but Lyeren..." Fulilian stared at him with a depressed expression and let out a long breath:

"In general, it was probably for no reason, saying that he wanted to leave a bad reputation for killing me, and wanted to add another name to the history of Celia's disciples... At first I didn't understand what he wanted to do, but after thinking about it, I realized that he just didn't want to be forgotten by Celia."

"Isn't it very simple? You just tell him directly... tell him, um..." At this point, Ash suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly became weird.

Seeing this, Fulilian narrowed her eyes unconsciously: ".... You thought of something, didn't you?"

"That's not the case... You explain it to him... He will understand, and you were there when Celia said what she said about her attitude towards her disciples, weren't you?"

"Yes, I understand, I know, Celia will not forget her disciples, and that's how I explained it to her..." Thinking of the grievance she suffered the day before, Fulilian gritted her teeth: "- But! He doesn't believe it!"

"Why?"

"He said what I said was exactly the same as what you said to comfort him!!... In Celia's eyes, Volame was also a failure, and she always said that it was a failure that she cultivated on a whim; but in fact, every disciple she accepted on a whim, their personalities and favorite magic, she still remembers them clearly today, and she has never regretted it."

"Yes, yes, isn't it better to say this?"

The inexplicably familiar words, heard from others, just missing a small part, made Ash's eyes wander unconsciously when he agreed.

It would have been better if he hadn't said that. Once he said that, Fulilian's emotions could no longer be controlled. She became excited and her blood pressure soared:

"--That's what I said! But it didn't work! That guy didn't believe me at all! At first I thought he didn't trust Celia... Later, when the Magic Association was already both sides, Celia was alarmed and ran out. That's when I realized--it was all your fault!"

"How could it be..."

"Why not! You bastard! Just comfort others? Why did you add something at the end: 'Especially me!' And you said that Celia told you in person?" Speaking of "Especially me", Fulilian's teeth were about to break.

"Is there...what's the problem?" Just by looking at her angry expression, Ash could probably imagine what she had been through. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly but politely, and his hands unconsciously gestured in the air:

"I just added a little bit of personal opinion to the truth...but there is no law that says that when passing on a message, you can't add a little personal opinion, right? Compared to those rumors, I am already very restrained, right? After all...how could I know that he would do that kind of thing?"

"——What a little personal opinion! Just because of your little personal opinion, others don't believe me at all! They think I am lying too!"

Flilian excitedly threw the broom up and flew up to fight him in close combat.

This directly hurt him, and he quickly jumped down from the other side and hid directly in the room. He also slammed the door and let Fulilian keep banging on the door, just like a gangster blocking the door, saying that he would keep blocking here if he didn't give an explanation.

Until night fell and it was time to eat, Fulilian, who was sitting cross-legged in front of his door and blocking him, was temporarily dragged away by Philen, but... she had already jumped out of the window and escaped.

..............................

..............................

In the gorgeous boudoir of Zanze's home.

The girl who was still reading elegantly, at this moment when the sunset just went back and the moonlight just sprinkled on the earth, suddenly felt something and looked at the window suddenly.

The overly long hair also began to wriggle as if it had gained life, ready to go.

But under the windowsill, a hand was stretched out and shook, indicating that there was no hostility, and then the head popped out from below.

"Master Ash...? There should be a no-fly barrier here, why do you..."

"So I climbed up." He said as a matter of course without destroying the no-fly barrier, and he climbed over the window sill and sat directly on the window sill.

"Haaa..." Seeing this action, Zanze just tilted her head in a daze, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Ash didn't wait for the other party to come back to her senses, and put his hand on her head, with a hint of helplessness, and asked:

"Zanze, do you have anything to say to me?"

"....What?" Zanze blinked slowly with a strange look on her face.

"No, why are you more innocent than me?"

"....Did I do something?"

"I don't know, because I want to know what you did to Fulilian?"

"........"

Hearing this, Zanze finally woke up, but he slightly moved his eyes away, lowered his head, and fell silent.

This gave him a headache just by looking at it, so he simply said nothing and just kept shaking the hand on her head, causing the petite girl to be shaken.

After a while, it suddenly became like a toy. After he fiddled with it for a while, Zanze's head was dizzy. With a dazed expression, he took the initiative to beg for mercy:

"Wait...wait a minute, Master Ash, although I opened a hole in Fulilian's stomach, I should have apologized to Fulilian?"

"But you also implicated me and Fulilian chased me with a broom!"

For a magician like Fulilian, it is extremely dangerous to get close to a warrior, and it is also dangerous to get close to a melee magician like Zanze. Zanze approached unexpectedly, and he would not be surprised even if he could kill Fulilian, but...

After a brief complaint, Ash finally sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, you should tell me the specific situation? I believe you are not the kind of bad boy who will hurt people casually."

"This..." Giving her a chance, Zanze looked embarrassed instead, as if he didn't know where to start.

But Ash stretched out his hands and pressed her face, pulling her over, causing Zanze to look at him with a distressed expression, but also forced to realize that he had to give an explanation.

However, when the words came to her lips, she suddenly fell silent, her eyes flickering, as if looking for the right words.

After struggling for a long time, she finally lowered her eyes and said only one sentence:

"....Lyrne told me the way not to be forgotten..."

"The way not to be forgotten..." Ash repeated, trying to understand the meaning.

"He said that he wanted to take the infamy of killing the magician in the Demon King's team. I was a little anxious and took action first. No, but...! I just attacked, and Flyllian told me that you are actually the same as Lady Celia. You are not frank in your words, and you will not forget in reality, and you are not willing to remember others in this way, so..."

.......

Although he was a little embarrassed and his voice was getting lower and lower, Zanze still told the whole story honestly.

But Ash felt mixed emotions after hearing the content. He just stared at the girl in front of him, shrinking like a child who had done something wrong, and couldn't help but sigh:

"....Lieren is dull and extreme, but how come you were led astray..."

"I'm sorry..."

"No, think about it, you're also quite dull...it doesn't seem strange if you think about it this way."

Zanze apologized, and he subconsciously added.

Zanze remained expressionless for a long time, but he couldn't help it in the end, pursed his lips and protested softly: "...will it?"

"...You really don't have any self-awareness."

"I should be considered normal."

Although she said so, her eyes were still downcast.

"But didn't I say before that I would never forget you?"
