I’m a Mother-in-Law, But I Don’t Want Family Conflicts Episode 81

 

For someone who had found a person to send outside, Orb’s expression showed signs of tension.

 

“Wait here for a moment. I’ll show you something interesting.”

 

‘What does that mean?’

 

Before I could ask why she couldn’t just let us meet like this, she had already gone outside the rock.

 

As I tried to follow her, I realized that a transparent barrier had formed around the rock.

 

‘I’m trapped.’

 

I could see outside, but I couldn’t get out.

 

Did telling me to wait mean I should hide here and watch her meeting with Rohan?

 

I poked my head out and looked in the direction Orb had gone.

 

After walking about twenty steps, she opened her mouth toward the hill full of flowers on the opposite side of the sea.

 

“….”

 

‘I can’t hear.’

 

Perhaps because of the distance, her voice sounded faint.

 

I could tell her first words were ‘come out,’ but I couldn’t hear what came after.

 

‘Besides, there’s no one there.’

 

In the direction she was looking, on the low hill, there wasn’t even a shadow of a person, let alone Rohan.

 

Just as I was wondering who she was talking to.

 

“…!”

 

Rohan suddenly appeared out of thin air.

 

As if he had been wearing an invisibility cloak, he suddenly revealed himself… and then charged straight at Orb.

 

And he swung the sword in his hand without hesitation.

 

Crash-!

 

The sword stopped right in front of Orb’s eyes.

 

A transparent barrier like the one spread around the rock had blocked the sword.

 

The impact was so intense that it shook the air, making me unconsciously step back.

 

Rohan glared at Orb and slowly opened his mouth.

 

Perhaps because of his characteristically rough voice, his words came through clearly.

 

“Where is Wilhelmina?”

 

…It was a voice that somehow sounded familiar.

 

* * *

 

The moment Wilhelmina fell into the lake, Rohan realized that an unpleasant magic power had swallowed her.

 

It was spatial transfer magic, known to be impossible to recreate without a special treasure.

 

“Wilhelmina!”

 

Shouting her name, Rohan also jumped into the lake.

 

But the unidentified magic power had already sent Wilhelmina halfway to another world.

 

To grab hold of her fading body, Rohan forcibly used magic.

 

Ominous magic power flowed from his shoulder to his fingertips.

 

The recoil was considerable since he used it without preparation, but he gritted his teeth and moved his magic power.

 

The moment his fingertips touched the hem of Wilhelmina’s clothes.

 

[Oh my, an uninvited guest…]

 

A flustered voice reached his ears, and he moved through space together with Wilhelmina.

 

And when he opened his eyes, what greeted him was neither Wilhelmina nor the owner of the voice.

 

A colorful sky, gorgeous flowers on the ground that matched it, and before he could be captivated by the beautiful scenery, the beings in front of him emanated killing intent.

 

“Intruder.”

 

“Eliminate, the intruder.”

 

‘This is…’

 

The enemies with unpleasant appearances like enlarged joint dolls rushed at Rohan without hesitation even as their companions fell.

 

Rohan drew his sword and defeated those emanating killing intent.

 

“Automatons with no souls… I see, so this is the Fairy Realm.”

 

He recalled the information he had read in the forbidden books of the Venice Ducal House.

 

The Fairy Realm, a Western Secret Realm said to be inhabited by an Evil God that bewitches humans.

 

Automatons that drive out intruders, a sky without night, gorgeous flowers that cloud one’s reason… everything was exactly as written in the forbidden books.

 

In the Western Region, they call this place paradise, but Rohan didn’t believe it.

 

It was foolish to judge immortal beings by human standards.

 

‘Did a fairy take interest in Wilhelmina?’

 

He recalled her figure throwing sandwiches to an invisible presence.

 

According to Wilhelmina’s words, the Lake Fairy had received a gift of sandwiches from her.

 

‘Such beings try to return as much as they receive. They brought her here to give something in return.’

 

Though it might sound like a fairy tale at first glance, remembering that those involved with fairies didn’t meet good ends made this absolutely unwelcome news.

 

If it were a fairy steeped in human affairs like Nata, it would be fine. They follow human rules and morals.

 

But he couldn’t expect such things from beings of another world.

 

They only shared the name ‘fairy,’ but the residents living here were beings that transcended human common sense.

 

‘I need to find Wilhelmina.’

 

Rohan raised his right arm where he could feel pain.

 

Due to forcibly using spatial movement, the engraved tattoo was emitting intense heat.

 

Though he felt pain as if thousands of needles were piercing his arm, he drew up his magic power again as if such things didn’t matter.

 

Crackle-

 

‘I should be able to use it one more time at this level.’

 

Judging his condition by looking at his right arm that sparked in response, he moved his steps toward the other side of the hill.

 

Though his destination wasn’t decided, he could instinctively know where Wilhelmina was.

 

Like a wolf would, it was an ability he had possessed since birth.

 

“Intruder-!”

 

He encountered automatons several more times on his way.

 

As if there was a rule that they were summoned near uninvited guests, they appeared without any sign of presence.

 

Rohan defeated them in an instant and moved forward.

 

When the number of destroyed automatons exceeded ten, he discovered the sea.

 

The hill where he stood and the sea were separated worlds.

 

A faint barrier divided the boundary, making it impossible to properly see with his eyes who was standing on the other side.

 

‘Wilhelmina’s scent.’

 

However, the Enhanced Smell possessed by the Wolf Descendant was exceptional.

 

He realized that Wilhelmina was over there on the other side.

 

A wall of this degree wasn’t something he couldn’t cut through.

 

Still, it could be a trap, so just as he was about to cautiously advance toward the beach, a girl’s voice was heard.

 

“I know you’re there. Come out now.”

 

The moment he heard that voice, cold sweat ran down his spine.

 

Though Rohan had won victories on countless battlefields, the presence emanating from the voice’s owner was more intimidating than ten thousand enemy soldiers.

 

To shake off the feeling as if a messenger of hell was calling him, Rohan swung his sword and split the wall.

 

When the wall disappeared, he faced a girl who was looking at him from atop the sandy beach.

 

Pure white clothes of unknown origin, peculiar hair with tree branches growing from it, and an innocent face.

 

‘A Fairy.’

 

The moment he realized her identity, Rohan kicked off the ground and leaped.

 

The sword that had defeated the Automatons now flew toward her neck.

 

Crash-!

 

However, the sword was blocked by a transparent barrier.

 

‘She didn’t even chant a spell.’

 

For Magic that seemed carelessly made to block Rohan’s sword – it was defensive power so formidable that his comrades would have widened their eyes in shock if they had seen it.

 

Rohan glared at the Fairy with her leisurely gaze and slowly opened his mouth.

 

“Where is Wilhelmina?”

 

“If you want to ask questions, shouldn’t greetings come first? How barbaric.”

 

“I have no greetings to exchange with an Evil God.”

 

“…That’s a nickname I haven’t heard in a long time. How did you know I was the Fairy King?”

 

The reason Rohan thought of her as the Evil God, the Fairy King, was simple.

 

If she had been an ordinary Fairy, he thought she would have been cut in half by that strike just now.

 

There was only one Fairy in history who possessed such tremendous magical ability.

 

As if reading Rohan’s thoughts, she frowned as if finding it absurd.

 

“Your judgment is quick, but your reasoning is simplistic. The complete opposite of Wilhelmina. All you Wolf types are like this.”

 

‘As expected, she has met Wilhelmina.’

 

When he split the wall, Wilhelmina’s presence suddenly disappeared.

 

On the other hand, he could faintly sense Wilhelmina’s scent from the Fairy’s body.

 

The Fairy had definitely hidden Wilhelmina.

 

“Though you’re a human from the Eastern Region I’ve met after a long time, it’s unfortunate. You’re an Intruder. You cannot receive hospitality.”

 

Tsk tsk, she clicked her tongue exaggeratedly and raised the corners of her mouth.

 

“I cannot answer your question either.”

 

“…”

 

“But if you grant my request, what you want…”

 

Crack-!

 

Rohan swung his sword with even greater force.

 

With a sound like breaking glass, cracks began to appear in the barrier.

 

The fairy who had been speaking calmly widened her eyes.

 

“Wait, hold on.”

 

“You have only one answer to give. Tell me where Wilhelmina is.”

 

“So if you grant my request…”

 

“I refuse.”

 

Anyone with their wits about them wouldn’t make a deal with a fairy.

 

It would be better to trust the Emperor who constantly lied.

 

Rohan’s sword slowly penetrated through the cracks in the damaged barrier.

 

Sensing that breaking through the barrier was only a matter of time at this rate, the fairy made a proposal in a flustered voice.

 

“No, being called an Evil God was ages ago! I’ve become quite nice lately. Ask the other fairies around.”

 

“…”

 

He didn’t know many fairies, and he had no intention of being fooled by such theatrics.

 

Rohan wasn’t deceived by the fairy’s expression.
