Chapter 232
Chapter 232. I'm just a passer-by elemental sage (3) + Yes, I'm the elemental sage (1) Arell glared at her like that.
“What are you going to do?”
“You have to prepare a speech to clear up misunderstandings about spiritism.”
If it's a speech, I'd like you to leave it to me.
Feeling motivated, she said confidently.
Even though I'm eager to do it.
It was also Arel who ruined it again.
“...Haa, this lady doesn't know much about the world.”
As Arel looked at her with pity, Fena was moved.
“There’s no way people’s perceptions can change with just a few black letters on a piece of paper, right? It’s normal to just pick your ears and pass through the words of a noble person, you bastard.”
“Then what should I do?”
For some reason, it's embarrassing to be treated like an immature person, but now that I've heard it, it's not wrong.
Pena shrugged her shoulders slightly and asked.
“Because the way the world works is surprisingly simple.”
Arel smiled and said.
“It speaks more than words.”
“Practice....
You say very difficult things in an easy way.
Fena barely held back the grumbling that rose to the back of her throat.
This is what he is talking about in practice.
Show off your spirit magic several times in front of the public.
That way is just to help.
Wouldn't it be natural for them to acknowledge it as they gradually built up a track record of spirit magic being harmless?
Arel insisted on this and called Dia, instructed her to assist and escort Pena, and sent her out together.
Do you feel anxious if you send it alone?
It was a decision made under the judgment that there would be no problem if D.A.
Fighting with bandits a while ago is part of that.
For a good deed to publicize the image of a practical combat and elemental sage.
“How was your first real fight?”
“…I don’t know what to say.”
Pena responded that she didn't know what to say.
It's not that he's indifferent to murder.
However, it is not clumsy enough to show mercy.
There is no such thing as guilt.
It is also because they have seen the evil they are about to do.
Even so, I can't help but feel nervous.
“It is natural.”
Dia said in a calm tone to Pena, who was trembling with tension.
“Everyone is afraid when fighting.”
“Yeah… that’s right.”
“In that sense, mediocre bandits are just the right opponents to learn in real combat.”
Even if you wipe it moderately, no one will say anything.
No, rather thank you.
Bandits are a good way to get some decent hands-on experience.
It's not wrong.
Agreed.
“Before I came to Fahilia, I also wiped out bandits and collected travel expenses to earn transportation expenses.”
Dia nodded and spoke as if recalling a longing memory.
“It was a good way to make money when I ran out of change.”
“That’s right.”
“Remember Pena-sama too. If you run out of money at your destination, just find the nearest bandit and deal with it. Then you will have money.”
“That's it!”
Pena, who is already on the dark side of the world, seemed to believe Dia's words obediently.
If Arel was nearby, he would have said something ridiculous, but he is not here right now.
“By the way, Dia is also having a lot of trouble because of me.”
Even if you don't, there's usually not a lot to do.
Even not so long ago, it was said that he was wandering around the kingdom because of an epidemic.
Nevertheless, instead of taking a break, he said as if he had no respect for her who had to teleport with Pena one by one, but Dia just bluntly brushed it off.
“This is Arell's instructions. There's nothing called hardship, so don't worry about it.”
... huh.
“It's all because Arell-nim's will.”
“That’s right. Yes, a lot of work.”
Having recently understood that Dia would blindly follow Arel's orders, Paena brushed aside that part casually.
Isn't it proof that I've gotten used to living there?
On top of that, compared to Arel, Dia was speaking with enough common sense.
“excuse me? How can something like this go wrong...
Pena sighed heavily as she flipped through the script she received from Arel.
How embarrassed I was to read this in front of bandits just a moment ago.
However, while forcing these lines, Arel said this.
‘Wouldn't it be memorable if I had a good form and a plausible line!' Because of the exceptional emphasis on ...., Pena eventually had no choice but to follow.
To be honest, I'm sure this is Arel's prank.
Because he must have been smirking when he handed it over.
“Wouldn’t it be better not to do this? To be honest, even I am a little embarrassed.”
Carefully asked for personal wishes.
However, Dia firmly shook her head.
“This is Arell's instructions. You must follow.”
“but.”
“This is an order.”
“Yeah... I can't help it.”
If I refused any more, it seemed like they would force me to recite a spell.
It seems that my side is not here.
It's not that you don't know your position, so you have to do what you're told to do.
“Haha, how did my situation turn out like this?”
Contrary to complaints, there is no dislike on her face.
It was embarrassing to step out a little, but I didn't particularly dislike what I was doing.
In fact, I felt a little satisfied.
I had never thought of using my power to help someone before.
For her, spiritism was something she had to hide.
It was never written in front of anyone.
“I’m glad you seem motivated. So today, let’s go around a few more places.”
Dia treats her like nothing and memorizes a teleport spell.
“... How many places are you going to go to?”
“I will go around the whole kingdom once.”
“...Can you go back today?”
It seemed that it would be around sunset when I returned to the castle.
“Are you going to eat?”
For once, I saw him asking with hope.
Around that time, strange rumors circulated in Ernesia Kingdom.
It is said that girls who use strange powers appear one after another from various places and help people without receiving anything in return.
Suddenly appeared and defeated the bandits.
It suddenly appeared and wiped out a group of monsters at once.
Suddenly, a strange creature appeared and healed the collapsed bridge.
A duo of unidentified girls wearing robes threw away ingredients from a restaurant...
Various rumors were heard.
What they have in common is what the girl who did not always reveal her face did.
And another thing is that the girl has strange beings under her command.
The people who witnessed her actions in that appearance expressed their curiosity little by little.
“Isn’t it magic?”
“I hear you breathe fire and handle rocks? So, is it magic?”
People naturally thought it was magic, but gradually there were people who questioned it.
“…It won’t be magic. Hmmm...
I've seen it for some reason, but it's probably... spiritism?”
Starting with someone saying the word, stories about spiritism began to flow from people's mouths one by one.
“Come to think of it, I’ve seen that girl before. Come to think of it, when I used that strange power, the spirit muttered something.”
“Wasn’t that just some weird bullshit?”
It was small talk that would have brought tears to the eyes of the princess herself.
The people who noticed about spiritism shared puzzled opinions whenever the topic came up.
“But that’s what elemental magic is all about. It's just like that in the Holy Land. Didn't you say you were dealing with some kind of devil?
Does anyone go to church there?”
“huh? But what I saw wasn't it? It was just an odd looking lizard and an earthy dwarf, nothing like a demon.”
“Well, we're not really Zelnians, so it doesn't matter?”
“More than that, it was amazing to see him fix his leg. Isn't it more convenient than magic? If that's the case, I want to learn too. Do you think things will be easier?”
Among the people who witnessed Pena's actions, the story became the main topic for a while.
And the main character of the rumor was at first an unknown wizard, but at some point... he
was called an unknown elemental sage.
Little by little, people began to wonder about spiritism and show interest.
after about a month.
I received the final report on Pena's whereabouts from Dia.
“Fortunately, it seems that you did as you were told without any complaints, right?”
What I'm currently looking at is a crystal ball that looks similar to the communication tool I usually use.
However, the use is different.
The light emitted from the crystal ball is output as a single image, showing how Pena uses spiritism to the thieves.
In addition, the image of doing various things is reproduced as it is.
This video was filmed by Dia while Pena was fighting.
It is a magical tool for recording images that was conceived in the same way as the development of a printing device that scans pictures.
We call it a ‘recorder' for short.
All appearances reflected on the built-in mana crystal for a certain period of time are recorded and output as video information.
Its advantage is that it is easy to operate and can be used anytime, anywhere.
“great job. Isn't Pena whining?”
“no. Princess Pena also obediently followed.”
“Still, you did a good job. You'll be tired, so it's okay to rest for a while. How about it?”
“no.”
After congratulating him for the hard work, Dia calmly refused, saying that it was nothing.
“By the way, Arell-sama, is this alone really changing your perception of spiritism?”
“Well, that makes me a little suspicious too.”
Even though I was the one who ordered this, I have some doubts about that.
I'm not so ignorant of the world as to think that a good deed can change my perception.
The only place that was active there was the kingdom of Ernesia.
It can't have a big effect.
“Then why did you do this...?”
“It's not like I'm making fun of Pena. I need it for now.”
Precisely, it means that this alone is not enough.
“Well, I made you half-joking with that dialogue book.”
Behold the numerous blanket kicks stamped on this record ball.
Later, if you're bored, you should play it once and play with it.
Other than that, everything else makes sense.
For Pena... to change her perception of spiritism, even if it's cumbersome, she has no choice but to imprint it on people little by little.
“It is true that things like this do not change the world. but.”
I affirmed with a mischievous smile.
“Humans are not creatures that forget so easily...whether it be good or bad. Even if it's a very small thing, someone remembers it. That is the way of the world.”
Yes, I am the Elementalist (1) The Imperial Palace of the Merman Empire.
center of the palace. The audience room located in the largest and most splendid castle.
Normally, it's just a place to meet the emperor of the empire, but this time, the inside of the audience room was slightly remodeled to welcome special guests.
A number of guests could sit on chairs and tables, and on the wall side, the nobility of the empire stood quietly and waited.
come.
And on the throne, the seat of the emperor, Eilan, the current emperor of the Merman Empire, was sitting solemnly.
He waited for the guest he was supposed to greet in the audience room, perhaps in order to appear as confident as possible
. Enter Nelvenia!”
A cry was heard from outside the audience room announcing a visitor.
The emperor nodded, “Mm!” and the door opened, and the envoys from the Holy Land entered.
Simple escorts and priests dispatched as envoys.
The most notable among them is a white woman walking slowly.
Saint Nelvenia of the Zelnian Holy Land.
She walked through the audience room with a natural smile and a graceful gait.
