Chapter 387 - Episode Thirty-Three - Gizel's Attack (4)

“How did you find this place ……? Did Firo tell you?”

I asked Gizel, trying to appear as calm as possible.

There was no sign of Firo in the Marren tribe’s group.

But if she had visited the Fage territory, she would have been able to meet up with Firo, who had veered off.

And if I had been able to meet up with Firo, it would make sense that Gizel would have been able to figure out where I was going.

Firo said she would let me go, and I didn’t tell her where I was going.

But if she had known in advance that I was planning to escape, it wouldn’t have been surprising if she had been able to figure out where I was going based on my movements.

It is possible that Firo gave Gizel and the others some kind of hint, even if she did not speak.

“Firo-san betrayed us, so we left him behind.”

Gizel said as if to throw up. It was a rather harsh statement.

In my mind, the image of Firo sitting triangularly on the bed of the inn like an abandoned puppy, straying alone from the Marren group, came to mind.

I see …… they managed to meet up but were left behind, huh.

“My brother’s location was told to me by Sim-san, the spirit of the grimoire.”

Gizel stroked the grimoire in her hand.

“The grimoire’s spirit ……?”

It’s a bit too suspicious.

A spirit with an ego is an aggregate of microscopic spirits that have gathered together in a directional manner, using their intense desires and obsessions as a substitute.

In short, they are demons that are doing evil in various places as they desire.

However, as is the case with the Hamelin and Din Eaters, even the highest-ranking demons often have only the ego of a beast.

Zolomonia and Dantalion class demons are those that have lived hundreds or thousands of years and have continued to expand their spirit bodies and magical power.

But it is hard to imagine that such demons, though not all of them, have a sense of value that would be supportive of a human being, or even an individual.

It’s hard to believe that such demons, though not all of them, would have such a value for a human being, or even an individual. In my opinion, the grimoire spirit Sim seems to be a very suspicious existence.

As an artificial spirit, Altamir is not a naturally occurring demon, so it is somewhat different from an evil being born from lust and obsession.

This is why she has a sense of decency despite being a demon. …… Huh, did she have one?

For some reason, she is held up as a person of character in the alchemy division, but in my opinion, I don’t think there is much difference between us.

I often hear from the members that Alta-san is gentle unlike the leader, but that’s because she’s not that enthusiastic about educating the members in the first place.

In the first place, a person who would risk contraindications to replace her body with a spirit body for the sake of knowledge, isn’t it no exaggeration to say that she was born with desires and obsessions as a substitute?

“She’s just an evil spirit, even if you don’t think about it ……”

In my mind, the image of Altamir raging with a Magiphone in her hand was too much for me.

I shake my head and shake off the image in my mind.

I don’t care about Altamir right now, my thoughts are distracted.

“Sim is good at divination, you know. I’ve heard he can only use it when he’s in good shape.”

Divination ……

Most of this kind of magic is used to detect disasters by asking spirits about disturbances in the magic field, or to check if they are lying from the flow of the target’s magic power.

Other than that, the Marren tribe sometimes divined the destination of settlements or good omens, but usually, no matter how much they analyzed the magic field, they couldn’t tell more than that it was pointlessly circulating magic and presenting irregular results.

There were traces of complication and concealment in the formulas as well.

In short, they are all just grandiose fortune tellers.

I don’t have the ability to pinpoint a person’s location, and if I did, I’d do everything in my power to learn it.

…… I’ve only heard bits and pieces from Gizel, but no matter what I think, I don’t think the grimoire Sim is a legitimate entity.

But how did Sim find out that I was here in a flash with a fortune-telling technique that should only be as effective as a fortune teller?

“It’s okay, brother. I’m …… not angry at all. You just got a little startled and suddenly jumped out of the village and couldn’t stop yourself, right?”

“N-No, er …… I think I wrote in my letter that I …… Er …… don’t see you as a love interest ……”

“Don’t worry, brother. I understand.”

Gizel quietly shakes her head and smiles at me.

“Gizel ……?”

…… Did she really understand?

Maybe I should have trusted Gizel and talked to her instead of running away.

No, but then I wouldn’t have met Mea, and the Fage Territory would have been taken over by the Levi Church, and the Levi Church would still be ruled by the fake Levi Meds, and I’m sure Sateria would have lost her temper with Meds somewhere along the line and been killed.

Thinking about it that way, it may have turned out all right.

“…… I’m glad. I’m glad that Gizel understands ……”

“It’s okay. I didn’t get that letter in the first place, after all.”

“Hm?”

“It was never there, brother. That’s why father, mother, or anyone else in the village, no one knows. If brother takes my hand, I’ll forget it too. That’s why that letter was never there. Now, let’s go home, Brother.”

She didn’t understand me at all.

No, I know that it is impossible for her to understand.

That’s why I left the village, because I realized that it was impossible.

It’s just that Gizel’s ideas were more correct, more like common sense, and my ideas were wrong.
