【Chapter 95】

 

Same time. Main castle corridor.

 

“No.”

 

“Do it.”

 

“No.”

 

“I said do it! You need to smell it and find that guy called Bibi!”

 

Crackle.

 

Sparks flew from Lucas and Kail’s sharpened, pointed eyes.

 

“But the smell is too terrible. This is worse than the poison that woman forced me to take before!”

 

Kail realized something was wrong from the moment the guide pulled out the sock.

 

‘Terrible smell.’

 

Before he could even track the scent of the white, long cotton ball, something dark and damp had overwhelmed him.

 

That sock was a weapon.

 

Even the most powerful monster would run away if it encountered that sock.

 

“I won’t do it! It smells!”

 

Making a huffing sound, Kail completely turned away from the sock.

 

His sense of smell was already sensitive, and if he smelled that odor up close, he might die.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“…Um, Y-Young Master Lucas?”

 

The person who had been standing silently in the middle spoke up with a timid voice.

 

It was the guide.

 

“What?”

 

When Lucas asked, he glanced at Kail who had turned his head away sulkily and whispered quietly.

 

“By any chance, is K-Kail… like a cat person…?”

 

“Well, something like that. You can think of him as half monster, half human.”

 

“Ah. S-so that’s why his sense of smell is sensitive.”

 

“Why?”

 

Lucas asked again, but the guide didn’t answer and was lost in thought with a contemplative expression.

 

Then, as if he had decided something, he clenched his trembling fists and suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth.

 

“K-Kail!”

 

“What?”

 

“T-the sock is here, but you can smell it from far away, that’s really a-amazing!”

 

And he gave a thumbs up.

 

Lucas watched this scene with wide eyes. He said he was a monster trainer, so was he trying to train Kail?

 

It was quite a brave action for a crybaby. If only his extended thumb wasn’t shaking like an aspen leaf.

 

However, Kail stared at the trembling thumb and raised his eyebrows.

 

“Don’t you see Lucas hyung is also covering his nostrils? This isn’t because I’m amazing, it’s because your sock is amazing.”

 

This was trouble. Kail was unexpectedly smart.

 

‘What should I do?’

 

Lucas was deep in thought, flustered by the sharp observation.

 

“L-Lucas.”

 

Another whisper was heard.

 

“S-sorry, but could you uncover your n-nostrils? K-Kail doesn’t seem to believe my compliment.”

 

“…Huh?”

 

Lucas, who was still covering his nose with his fingers, flinched at the unexpected request.

 

When he turned his head, he saw the brave boy with furrowed eyebrows holding the sock and looking at him.

 

‘Honestly, I don’t want to uncover it…’

 

The guide was right.

 

If he didn’t uncover his nose, Kail would absolutely never smell it either.

 

There was no choice. Even that crybaby wasn’t giving up, so he felt he should do his duty as the young master of Croste.

 

“…Okay. I got it.”

 

Finally, Lucas uncovered his hand that was blocking his nose.

 

“It doesn’t smell at all, right?”

 

“Ugh.”

 

The guide asked while holding out the sock, and at the same time Lucas grimaced and collapsed on the spot.

 

But he was the sole heir of Croste.

 

Even if he collapsed, he had to complete his assigned mission.

 

“Yeah. Doesn’t. Smell. At all.”

 

At those words, the guide’s expression brightened.

 

“See, s-see! Only K-Kail can smell this o-odor!”

 

Did their earnest wish get through?

 

Kail, who had been glaring at them with sharp, pointed eyes, finally turned his head.

 

“…Really?”

 

“O-of course! And if K-Kail tracks down Bibi’s scent and finds him, A-Aisha will be really happy.”

 

“Oh? Really?”

 

Right then, at the mention of Aisha’s name, Kail’s ears perked up like a rabbit’s.

 

Lucas, who was lying collapsed while barely holding onto his fading consciousness, suddenly thought.

 

‘I should have mentioned Aisha from the start…’

 

Kail would step up for anything involving Aisha.

 

If he had said this from the beginning, he wouldn’t have needed to smell it and collapse…

 

Regardless, the guide continued to persuade Kail.

 

“O-of course! A-Aisha is the lady of the Croste Ducal Family. If you solve the problem that occurred in the duke’s mansion, K-Kail will be praised as a h-hero!”

 

“Gasp. Hero?”

 

Finally, Kail, surprised by the word ‘hero’, quickly approached.

 

Kail had learned in his lessons with the tutor that ‘hero’ was a very good title.

 

“Aisha will praise me as a hero?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“Then I’ll try it! Give me the sock!”

 

Kail immediately snatched the sock from the guide’s hand and smelled it.

 

The claim that it didn’t smell at all was a lie. Nevertheless, without complaint, he detected Bibi’s scent among the terrible foot odor.

 

And Kail, who had been sniffing the air—

 

“Over there!”

 

He pointed in one direction. The startled guide ran toward that direction in a hurry.

 

“B-Bibi! I’m coming!”

 

“I’m coming too!”

 

Kail, who was about to follow him, hesitated and looked down.

 

His gaze fell on Lucas, who had lost consciousness.

 

‘Lucas hyung is heavy. Should I leave him behind?’

 

Anyway, if Lucas lay in the corridor, passing guards would take him to his room.

 

But.

 

‘O-of course! A-Aisha is the lady of the Croste Ducal Family. If you solve the problem that occurred in the duke’s mansion, K-Kail will be praised as a h-hero!’

 

“…I’m a hero.”

 

Kail, recalling the guide’s words, muttered solemnly.

 

In class, he had learned that heroes never abandon people.

 

That’s right. No matter how heavy Lucas was, heroes save people to the end.

 

“Heave!”

 

In the end, Kail shouldered the collapsed Lucas and followed the guide ahead, dragging legs longer than his own.

 

They didn’t know.

 

That the destination they were running toward following the scent was the ice cave where Aisha was.

 

* * *

 

“…Who are you?”

 

In the ice cave where I should have been completely alone.

 

The being I had mistaken for a ghost out of fear was now sticking its face right in front of mine.

 

“It’s Bibi, you little thing. Haven’t you been calling my name this whole time?”

 

The moment I confirmed what I was looking at, my fear turned into bewilderment.

 

“Yes. That’s true, but…”

 

At a loss for words, I eventually closed my mouth.

 

This monster was directly calling itself Bibi…

 

A small weasel monster scolding me in human language. Is this normal?

 

And how old is it to have such a grandma-like voice?

 

As I stammered and couldn’t say anything, the grandma monster’s eyebrows rose at an angle.

 

It pretended to cross its arms with its short hands that couldn’t even reach.

 

“Oh my, oh my… This dazed child. Looking like this, could you even survive a day in the ice cave?”

 

Oh dear. Now she’s even nagging me.

 

I looked at Bibi with curious eyes.

 

“…Oh, but. Grandma…”

 

“It’s Bibi!”

 

“Yes, yes. Bibi. When did you learn human language?”

 

When I asked, Bibi’s black bean-like eyes opened wide.

 

“Human language? What are you talking about! No matter how much you ignored what I was saying, this grandma kept shouting earnestly, so you finally came to your senses!”

 

Huh? It’s not that my mind is doing something strange?

 

Blink blink.

 

I slowly blinked my eyes and stretched my round cheek with my fingertip.

 

“Ow.”

 

Since it hurt, it doesn’t seem to be a dream.

 

‘…Then am I understanding monster language?’

 

How on earth?

 

Naturally, this was content I had never seen even in the original story.

 

But.

 

‘Save Aisha! Don’t harm people, follow Aisha!’

 

Suddenly I remembered Kail’s voice that had echoed in my head. When I had been forced to obey Pose Duke’s commands due to black magic.

 

It was a situation where Father and I could have been in danger.

 

‘Suddenly Kail’s voice echoed in my head and the black magic was broken.’

 

Come to think of it, hearing Kail’s voice was strange, but his command was even directed at monsters, not me.

 

It was very strange, but I was too frantic at the time to pay attention to it.

 

‘Could this be related to that incident?’

 

“Hmm…”

 

Who should I ask about this question? Should I tell Father when he comes later?

 

It was when I was lost in thought, stroking my chin.

 

Something dropped onto my knee with a thud.

 

When I came to my senses and looked down, it was drool.

 

“Child, now slowly give me some b-bread. This grandma is hungry and cold.”

 

Drooling steadily, Bibi was holding out her thin pink palm to me.

 

Oh dear.

 

“Please eat. Grandma Bibi.”

 

She looked ready to pounce on my face again if I didn’t give her bread, so I took out the bread from inside my jacket and gave it to Bibi.

 

Bibi quickly grabbed the bread and began eating it ravenously.

 

I watched Bibi and casually struck up a conversation.

 

“By the way, Grandma Bibi.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Why did you come here?”

 

Pause.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Grandma Bibi’s body, who had been militantly grinding her front teeth while eating, stiffened.

 

After thinking for a moment, Grandma Bibi glanced at me with a face that seemed unsure whether she should tell me.

 

Then.

 

“…I ran away.”

 

“What?”

 

“That Guide kid got locked up in a room because of me. I thought it would be better for that kid if this grandma wasn’t around, so I ran away.”

 

She muttered as if it was nothing special, then started eating bread again.
