[Abduction 7. In the New Continent (1) ]

“…I see. It is a wish.”
“yes. Sita was born from drinking my dream. Perhaps other dream birds are like that.”
Ronan nodded. He returned to Baren’s office after meeting with Sheeta. Sheeta, who had returned to her original form, was dozing with her head stuck through the window.
“Ppa woo woong… Ppa woo…”
Upon hearing the secret of the dream bird, Baren was overjoyed like a person who had fulfilled his lifelong wish. He closed the notebook, recording all the information.
“A question that has been shrouded in a veil for a long time has finally been resolved. I really don’t know how to thank you for this.”
“What is gratitude? The professor and Secret did everything.”
“Still, it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for student Ronan and Sheeta. If there is anything you want, please tell me. I will repay you with all my heart.”
“I want it…then can you give me just a few more magic scrolls?”
Ronan asked. I had a hard time falling in, but I enjoyed the time I spent with Sheeta, who had turned into a human. Somehow, it seemed like a rehearsal for raising a child to be born soon. Baren nodded happily.
“Of course it’s possible. But could you give me a little more time? Because it is such a difficult magic, it takes more time to make it.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as I can take it. Even now, we are having enough fun.”
Ronan grinned. The greatest advantage of a peaceful time was that there was no need to rush everything. After taking a sip of tea, Varen pointed to the egg on the desk and said,
“Then how are you going to do this?”
It was left behind by Abel. Baren continued with a serious tone.
“If you want to take measures such as sealing or destroying, I will help.”
“Destruction?”
“yes. First of all, it’s not an ordinary dream bird’s egg. If its existence is known to the public, there will be an uproar.”
The smile disappeared from Varen’s face. I never thought that a proposal to break an animal egg would come out of that mouth.
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. Now that the traces of Nebula Clazie are being erased one by one, that egg was the only legacy Abel left behind and the seed that could bring about a new disaster. Ronan, who had been touching his chin, opened his mouth.
“no. Just leave it alone.”
“What do you mean?”
“I will take responsibility for it. I believe that you will keep the secret about the egg.”
“That’s it, I’ll be sure to keep my secrets… but are you sure you’re okay?”
Baren asked in an anxious voice. Ronan stood up. Picking up the egg, he nodded slowly.
“I know what the professor is worried about. If you planted beans and the beans grow, you will be worried that one day that egg will break and a second Abel may come out. However, Sheeta did not call Marfez, her biological mother, her mother.”
“That is true. Did you say you were called a successor?”
“yes. I don’t know exactly what it is, but Sheeta likened a transmitter to a person who provided a home for them. As the saying goes, Abel has no influence on beings who will one day be born here. The important thing is what kind of wishes Al accepts and drinks with emotion.”
The egg left behind by Abel still showed no change. No one knew what was pulsating inside that frisky shell.
“There is no sin in the child to be born. Of course, since the successor is so young, it can be unsettling. I know. Still, the fact that I don’t step on this right away and break it…”
Suddenly, the moment of his last conversation with Abel flashed through Ronan’s mind. On the white sandy beach where the red sea lapping, he clearly heard Abel’s will. He laughed while dragging his horse’s tail.
“That bastard also said he was sorry at the end.”
“…indeed. Then I won’t stop you.”
Baren smiled. In the first place, there was nothing to say if Ronan, the discoverer of the egg, came out like that.
After that, the two of them were in the middle of a conversation about this and that. profit. The door to the office opened and a familiar man and woman walked in. Balus opened his mouth.
“…I’m home.”
“oh. Valus.”
Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Balus’ face was haggard, like someone who hadn’t slept for three days. Elizabeth, her face flushed like a beet, bowed her head behind him.
“That… Sir Ronan. So… I must be Ronan-sama’s child…”
“Yes, lady. Has the misunderstanding been cleared up now?”
“…yes. sorry.”
Elizabeth muttered. Judging by the expression on his face, Balus seemed to have done a good job explaining it. Suddenly staggering, he braced himself against the wall for balance.
“What are you okay?”
“…I thought I was going to die. After all, you lifted me up into the air, saying that I might be one with that scoundrel… Uhhh… I was really scared.”
Balus muttered sobbingly. Elizabeth’s face grew even redder. I got older and matured, but I couldn’t leave my fiery personality anywhere.
“Ahhh…so I said I was really sorry. The damage you suffered this time will definitely be compensated in the name of Akalucia…”
But he was never a bad kid. It was evident from the fact that he was doing his best to placate the utterly frightened Balus. It was fortunate that Schlieffen and the descendants of the nobles who divided the country were well-informed.
Suddenly, the words of Nabi Rose passed through my mind. Did you say there are things that only women can help women with? Scratching his head, Ronan called out to Elizabeth.
“Ezebet. Follow me for a second.”
“…yes? Oh yes.”
Elizabeth flinched. The terrified voice seemed to think that Ronan would be upset about the misunderstanding. Ronan, who took her to the corner of the office, opened his mouth.
“Ezebet. If you’re going to stay on the island for a while, go see Adeshan. Preferably right now.”
“What about your sister? Why all of a sudden?”
“okay. I recently had a baby. It would be great if you could go and celebrate.”
“……What did you say?”
Elizabeth’s face hardened. It was as if she hadn’t even heard of it yet. right! Suddenly she snapped her fingers. At the same time, seeing the translucent curtain enveloping the surroundings, Ronan curled his lips in admiration.
“Since it’s called Silent Magic, you’re a good kid. I instinctively noticed that it was a secret.”
“Wait a minute. Wait. What did you just say? I must have heard wrong?”
“I told you Adeshan had a baby. This time, he is really my child.”
“That that that that that…!”
Elizabeth, who covered her mouth with both hands, froze. She barely came to her senses and ran out of the office shouting Adeshan’s name. As the sound of the stairs stopped, her voice resounded in Ronan’s head.
[congratulation! For now!]
“Come.”
Ronan giggled at the expected reaction. Baren and Sheeta Balus looked at Elizabeth and Ronan alternately with suspicious expressions.
Judging by her personality, it was clear that she would make a fuss about naming her child herself, but it was expected which of Nabi Rose and the name she gave would be adopted. Ronan, who looked out the darkened window, turned around.
“Then I’ll go soon. See you again.”
“Ah, would you like to?”
It was a day with a lot of work. Baren, who stood up, shook hands. Ronan, who had also said goodbye to Balus, was about to return. He accidentally glanced at the corner of the office and spat out a curse.
“Fuck. I forgot this.”
The sealing stones Sheeta had spat out were scattered on the floor. An ominous red light was seeping from the amulets attached to it. Alas, Varen grabbed his mane and said.
“Hey, I forgot too. You said it was an item Sheeta brought from the New World, right?”
“yes. Something terrible was being sealed…”
Ronan frowned. If they had committed it so grandiosely, there would have been something regrettable going on in the New World.
‘The owner has to clean up the dog’s poop.’
Ronan, who was organizing the plan in his head, sighed. It bothered me to leave my pregnant girlfriend alone, but since Elizabeth was with me, it shouldn’t be a problem.
I just need to stop by the house and leave right away. It was the moment he woke Sheeta and was about to go out. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on Sheeta’s cheek.
“hmm? This is…”
“Have you missed it?”
A few strands of tulip-red hair were tangled in the black fur. It was long and shiny, and I felt a strong sense of deja vu. Ronan, who was examining his hair, snapped his fingers.
“This is Asher’s hair… Aha.”
It seemed like he knew why Sheeta had gone to the New World. On the day he graduated from Phileon, Marya proudly declared that she would advance the Caravel Merchant to the New World. And Asher said he would accompany Marya as an escort for the guild.
“Did you visit Asher and Marja?”
“Knock it!”
Sheeta shook her head as if affirming. It seemed that he had been playing in the new continent with the two of them. All of a sudden, my heart went blank. Ronan let out a sigh of relief and muttered as if talking to himself.
“what. Then you don’t have to go.”
“hmm? Aren’t you going?”
“yes. Asher has that child, so there is no need to go all the way to me. He will take good care of you.”
said Ronan. The current Asher was one of the best wizards on the continent no matter what anyone said. He would have the ability to deal with whatever came out of the broken seal.
“The only thing Asher should be afraid of is Marja. So don’t worry, Professor.”
“Wow, I know the strength of the Asher student, but…”
Baren dragged his words. It was true that the tension dropped when Asher was there. Ronan, riding on Sheeta’s head, concluded with a smile.
“Do not worry. There will be no problem.”

“Stop this…!”
It was a full moon night. Asher was running away by flying between the sheer cliffs. At a distance of five hundred paces, several footsteps were following him.
A narrow road ran under his feet. Asher, who suddenly felt that he was dying, turned his back and screamed.
“Huhhhhh! Oh don’t come!”
At the same time, Asher stretched out his arm. An unseen hand pushed a rock resting on the cliff. bang! A boulder rolled down the cliff and blocked the path. After confirming that the footsteps had stopped, Asher opened his mouth.
“Aren’t you following me now?”
His back was all wet with sweat. I didn’t feel popular anymore. Asher was about to breathe a sigh of relief. Shish way! Dozens of figures soared from the top of the rock blocking the road.
“Hehehehe!”
Asher’s face went white. The shadows of the masked men with their backs to the moon cast over Asher’s face. In their hands, swords they had never seen before were held one by one. The one who seemed to be the leader pointed to Asher and shouted.
“Seeing that they use suspicious magic, it is clear that they are spies. Kill!”
