【Chapter 161】

“That thing is totally hot. But it kept chasing after me.”

The baby lizard that had been nestled in my arms poked its head out. Then it glared at the carnivorous flower with innocent eyes.

“Hot?”

“Now that you mention it, it does seem a little hot?”

When Lucas crossed his arms and took a step closer, the startled carnivorous flower backed away.

As if this wasn’t the reaction it expected, it seemed flustered and looked around nervously.

It probably didn’t expect us not to feel hot like the baby lizard did.

But certainly, as we approached near the flower, I could feel the heat.

‘Are there many carnivorous flowers like this emitting heat throughout the island, making it impossible for animals to survive?’

The spies too, and the chameleon that died earlier as well.

“Hmm, brother.”

“What?”

“If we ever escape, we should collect one of those carnivorous flowers as a sample. There seems to be a lot to research.”

“…I’m certainly curious. A flower that emits heat. If we brought it to the North, it would be useful as a fireplace substitute, wouldn’t it?”

The carnivorous flower was startled by our conversation with gleaming eyes and began trembling.

Surely a plant couldn’t understand words.

Though it probably didn’t know exactly what we were talking about, it seemed scared by our calm attitude and atmosphere instead.

‘Oh. This is fun to tease…?’

My desire to research it was sincere, but since its reactions were so clear, it was also entertaining.

It would be fine to mess with that guy a little.

It almost killed innocent animals and this little lizard friend too.

“…Brother. Since the carnivorous flower came to us on its own, shall we capture that one?”

“!”

When I raised the corners of my mouth smoothly and narrowed my eyes, the carnivorous flower jumped up, felt threatened for its life, and ran far away.

See, you don’t want to die either, so why do you torment others.

I hope you learn many lessons from this opportunity.

‘Hmm. This should be enough.’

I was watching the carnivorous flower moving away with a satisfied gaze while petting the lizard when it happened.

Thump thump thump-!

The guy who had been running away using its stem roots like an eight-legged ghost suddenly started coming back toward us.

And at full speed at that.

“What’s with that guy? Should I just freeze it?”

Brother beside me roughly rolled up his shirt sleeves and prepared to unleash his ability.

But something was strange.

‘…The carnivorous flower is breaking out in cold sweat?’

Though it had no eyes, nose, or mouth, anyone could see it was seriously terrified.

“Why is it acting like that? This is the first time I’ve seen a flower that wants to die rushing toward me.”

“…Right. It looks like it’s being chased by something…”

CRASH-!

Before I could finish speaking, enormous ice pillars shot up into the sky with a tremendous explosion sound from behind the carnivorous flower.

“!”

…That’s.

“Come behind me, Aisha.”

Brother’s voice, which had been playful, suddenly dropped low, and his large hand grabbed my arm and hid me behind him.

The carnivorous flower also came trembling behind me…

“Why are you hiding here?!”

“!!!”

Lucas shouted angrily.

Then the flower that had been dripping cold sweat swayed its body.

That gesture looked exactly like it was doing a dance of repentance.

Well, well, if this wasn’t an urgent situation I would have kicked it out…

“Ah, whatever. Hide as you please!”

At the same time as shouting, one huge, pitch-black man brushed past us.

No, more accurately, it was closer to being thrown.

CRASH!

The man who slammed into the tree behind us slid down to the ground.

“Sedric, why are you suddenly like this? Did you drink alcohol you don’t usually drink…”

The man raised his head while grumbling.

Then our eyes met.

They were pitch-black pupils like ink.

When his black hair, indistinguishable from his pupil color, caught the sunlight, it began to shimmer with a beautiful blue light like a mermaid’s scales.

“…You are…”

Though I was uncertain because his appearance had changed so much from when he was young, I soon realized there was only one person in this world with black eyes and hair.

“Aebin?”

When I muttered unconsciously, he spat out the blood pooled in his mouth and his lips curved up brightly.

“Aisha, long time no see! You remembered me?”

I stared blankly at him greeting me cheerfully.

Why is he here?

‘But why is he so bloody?’

That’s when it happened.

Crack! Tap, tap-

The ground and trees around Aebin, who was sitting on the ground, began to be covered in ice.

Some things collided and burst due to the force being too fast and strong.

Sharp ice fragments scattered in all directions.

The moment the ice that had been mercilessly freezing everything headed toward Aebin at full speed as if targeting only one place-

“If you heard a loud noise, you should have quickly run away, what are you doing just staring blankly! Are you really from the Croste Family?”

Through the dense trees, Sedric burst out with cold air while shouting.

I didn’t know what he had been doing, but his left shoulder and arm were discolored to a deep purple and hanging limply.

But without showing signs of pain, only breathing roughly, he ran to Lucas’s side.

“Lucas. You must protect the princess.”

“…!”

“!”

Then he stood as if to shield me from Aebin and spoke.

Who’s protecting whom? Sedric protecting me?

I had strong doubts, but now wasn’t the time to question that.

Because Sedric’s rough breathing, the ice chunks filling the surroundings, and his limply hanging injured arm were telling the whole story.

“…Aisha. Go further back.”

Lucas, seeming to have the same thought as me, took an attacking stance.

“…Pfft, hahaha!”

Then Aebin, who had been slowly getting up, burst into low laughter as if it was absurd.

“All the ice users have gathered. Ah, really. You guys are so overprotective that it’s hard to even see Aisha’s face.”

“Who are you to meet my sister. You poisonous frog.”

Lucas glanced at Sedric’s injured arm and asked.

“Don’t tell me you’re the one who made this guy’s shoulder like this too?”

“Lucas, are you protecting Sedric right now? The guy who rammed Aisha with a carriage?”

“That’s a family matter, so don’t interfere and get lost.”

At his words, innocent-looking black pupils turned toward me.

“I don’t want to?”

I don’t know what it is, but there’s only one thing I’m certain of.

Aebin, who appeared out of nowhere, wanted me.

When I stepped back, burdened by his intense gaze, Aebin scratched the back of his neck as if feeling disappointed and picked up the dagger he had dropped on the ground.

“Look. Before I even get a chance to have a conversation with Aisha, you guys look at me like I’m a bug, so Aisha misunderstands.”

As he gripped the dagger and flexed his hand with force, thick black liquid flowed down onto the blade from between his fingers.

It was a poison ability.

No, I shouldn’t express it so simply.

That was the ‘protagonist’s ability.’ Which means—

“So, the ones interfering aren’t me, but you two brothers, right?”

It meant the most powerful ability in this world.

Aebin’s black hair fluttered in the wind as he leaped toward the brothers in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh—

It was an incredible speed.

To the point where I wondered if a dagger could be such a threatening weapon.

But the same was true for Sedric and Lucas.

“Lucas. To the left.”

“I know without you ordering me around!”

Having easily dodged Aebin’s first attack, they split into two directions and ran, creating sharp icicles on the ground from both sides.

I found myself stepping back and watching the fight between the three men, swallowing nervously.

At first, I could distinguish who was who, but as their movements of dodging and attacking each other became faster, it gradually became difficult to tell who was whom.

‘Lucas and Sedric are both incredible fighters.’

To be able to stand up to that Aebin to this extent.

I became so impressed by the two’s combat abilities that I forgot about the situation.

However, I still felt worried.

Although the time hasn’t come yet, in a few years Aebin would develop tremendous abilities enough to defeat our father.

“I’m going to tell the higher-ups everything about you, Sedric.”

Even now, Aebin didn’t lose his smile while facing the two men.

Unlike Lucas and Sedric who were fighting with gritted teeth, it meant he wasn’t putting forth all his strength.

What can I do?

I’m also an ability holder.

Of course, in terms of skill, I wouldn’t even be able to cause mutual damage in that fight, but there might be a way I could help…

I was anxiously lost in thought while looking up at the hot sky.

Ah.

I remembered.
