ââNo, thatâs Amazing, brother! All by yourself, you got that Live Fogg! Haha, maybe itâs good even if itâs just brother, with this.â
Augen laughs vigorously.
I like being praised, but I canât help but feel embarrassed when Iâm told so directly.
It seems that Nelgliffe and Augen are the types of people who can praise others straight from the front.
Iâm sure they are straight-hearted.
Iâm embarrassed, but I donât feel bad about it.
âReally, I was surprised too! I didnât think you could cut both ways faster than the response time of Live Foggâs wardsâ attack detection! Iâve never heard of anyone finishing off the Live Fogg in this way before! Thatâs Abel-san for you! âŠâŠ Can that weapon eject so fast?â
Sophia asks this and that strongly.
âN-no, thatâŠâŠ Maybe that Live Fogg was the only one who was troubled.â
âNo, brother is awesome. If brother were to officially join our church, it would be an awesome helpâŠâŠâ
Augen said with a sigh and cowered his thick neck.
âIs there something that troubles you so?â
âYeah, thanks to the Four Great Priests, the Levi Church is becoming more and more unified. The conflicts have calmed down, but there are still many groups that are opposing the new Levi movement. There are some troubled people among the new Levi followers who are exploiting domestic changes to their advantage and strangling the poor. Oops, thatâs not the right thing to say to people from other countries, forget it. When I talk with brother, I canât help but slacken offâ
For him to accidentally slipped up, I guess Iâm more trusting than I thought.
For my part, Iâm grateful for that.
But itâs nice to be praised so openly.
In the Marlen village, I was seen as the problematic children, and every time I stepped into town, I would get in trouble for my achievementsâŠâŠ I donât think Iâve ever been given an honest compliment like this before.
At any rate, it looks like I can trust Augen.
Or perhaps it was since the incident with Marias that made me too wary of the Levi Church itself more than necessary.
âAbelâŠâŠ arenât you letting your guard down a little bit too much?â
Mea whispers over to me from the side with a small voice in my ear.
âItâs okay, itâs okay âŠâŠâ
I chuckled and whispered back.
âOh, Augen-san. Iâm a bit interested in the Levi Churchâs activitiesâŠâŠâ
A thin hand reached out quickly from behind me and quickly closed my mouth.
I turned around to see Meaâs face pale and shaking her head.
âNo, no âŠâŠ I was just curious. I was wondering if he usually does this kind of helping people.â
âNo, you canât! Thatâs probably the one that wonât be able to turn back! Mea has a very bad feeling about this!â
âŠâŠ Well, sure, it was probably a good thing not to mention it unintentionally.
I donât want Sophia to go off on me again.
I fooled around by returning an affectionate smile to Augen, who was curiously looking at me and Mea.
Kamla jumped over the steps and landed near the river and began to carefully peel off the Live Fogg that was stuck to the tree.
âUm, was it okay to crush it? You know, the organs are hanging off of the FoggâŠâŠâ
âWell, it may degrade a little, but it wonât be a problem. I just need to get it back and protect it with magic.â
With that, Kamla swept his fingers through the wood chips and dirt that clung to Live Fogg and stuffed them into the vial with the magic circle painted on it.
In addition, he covered the vial after collecting the organ-like things that had fallen to the ground.
âRoughly how many people can be saved in that Fogg in one piece?â
âWhat? Oh, oh, âŠâŠ Ummm, I donât know much about it, but âŠâŠ five people, I guess. Itâs a pain in the ass, and it canât be used to treat only a specific number of people. I think I will be mainly used to relieve the condition of seriously ill people. It depends on the outcome, and I donât know much about it.â
Kamla placed his index finger on his forehead and mouthed this in a thoughtful manner.
The formulation must be difficult.
However, even though itâs a legendary elixir, itâs still that good âŠâŠ
Itâs a great thing to think that it can deal with anything, even a demonic curse, butâŠâŠ if you were looking at those Levi followers, I might have been expecting too much of a more outrageous item.
After all, there would be no point in cutting off the source of the disease.
While Iâm buying time with the power of Livegrass, I have to somehow pull out the spirit user who is controlling the disease demon and beat him.
We also need to consult with Nelgliffe and have him seriously search for the main culprit.
âWell, letâs get back as soon as possible. And Iâm sure Nelgliiffe-sama will be surprised. Abe âŠâŠ would be surprised if he found out this early that weâre back.â
Kamla said, and tried to put the vial of Live Fogg in his pocket.
âIâd like to try something, can I borrow it?â
Kamra glanced over at Augen, then his expression relaxed and he laughed.
âYeah, good. I donât know what youâre planning to do, but âŠâŠâ
Kamla took the long way around and walked up the cliff and handed the vial to me.
I handed the vial to Mea next to me and waved my wand.
âTransportâ
In the center of the floating magic circle, the Ortem of the World Tree appears up.
The World Treeâs Ortem was called out, and it shook by itself once.
The Ortem of the World Tree now contains Hamelin.
Once again, I take the vial from Mea and strongly push the Live Foggâs belly, which is inside and touches it to the long, yellow-green, slender tube.
It is an organ called the demon gut, which is closely related to magic power.
I poured the magic power into it and searched for the magical properties of Live Fogg from the reflected magic power.
The magic power flows through different conditions, and when the information is complete, they form a magic circle and give instructions to World Tree Ortem.
A light lit up in World Tree Ortemâs eyes and it began to move while bouncing.
That reaction meant that World Tree Ortem had found the target safely.
âAlright! Weâve succeeded!â
âUm, Abel-san? What isâŠâŠ?â
Sophia asked frightenedly.
âI had Ortem record Live Foggâs magical properties! Now we can search for it with greater accuracy and wider area than we did when we were chasing the traces of teleportation magic!â
More to the point, with the power of Hamelin pushed into the World Treeâs Ortem, it should be possible to attract demonic beasts with specific magical powers.
I donât know how far Hamelin can go, but depending on how itâs used, it could add something to the mix.
ââŠâŠ Huh?â
âFrom that reaction, they should have already detected three of them! If we can catch five or so of them, the state of Palgas Village will probably be pretty good. If we do well, we might be able to get at least eight of them! If we can enlist the help of other followers to engage in a full-scale investigation, we should be able to cure the village of the disease in no time at all!â
I explained confidently, expecting the three of them to praise me verbally again.
But Sofia was pale and just fluttered her mouth open and closed like a goldfish on the verge of choking, and she didnât speak.
âHuhâŠâŠ?â
âTha-, that will be a problem. âŠâŠâ
Sophia squeaked out in a small, mosquito-like voice.
âDi-, did I do something wrong?â
âAbel, you seeâŠâŠ erâŠâŠ there are people still suffering like this, so why donât you take this home with you first!â
Kamla convinced me so with sweat on his forehead.
âIt will take a few days to move and âŠâŠ now, even if itâs a half-day stretch here, itâs not muchâŠâŠ Oh, um, by any chance, itâs a bad idea in a religious wayâŠâŠâ
Somehow Sophia and Kamla are acting strangely.
Live Fogg seems to have a section that is considered sacred, and I wonder if overfishing is still a bad idea.
âCalm down, Sophia, Kamla. Iâm sorry, brother. Theyâre just surprised when they heard that they could get more than one Live Fogg. If youâre serious about it, of course, weâre going to help you. Hey, you guys too, right?â
Augen patted Sophia and Kamla on the shoulder and laughed out loud.
âWell, as expected, I donât think itâs going to work that well, but âŠâŠ if brother says so, itâs worth a try.â
Once Augenâs permission was granted, the five of us began to move after the World Tree Ortem.
