Chapter 80

Still, just in case, I told him to keep an eye on the tea for now, then opened the drawer.

“I found something too.”

When I took out the flower from the drawer, Kaisis frowned as if he recognized it.

“That flower… isn’t that the flower we saw at the Hunting Competition?”

“That’s right. This flower is called Pimpis, and it’s been spreading tremendously throughout the Holy Kingdom recently. I think there’s a connection between Masu Transformation and this flower.”

Then Louis Sauver looked at the flower with a frown.

“Didn’t you say before that the flower seemed to be a medium for Masu Transformation? Then we need to find out where it blooms.”

“I think we should.”

It was when we were nodding and getting up.

“Ah damn, I’m going to get a neck disc!”

Louis Sauver complained it was too heavy and took off the necklace.

Then his hand slipped and he accidentally dropped the necklace…

“Achoo!”

At that exact timing, Louis Sauver sneezed and ended up stepping on the necklace.

At that moment, the pendant attached to the necklace broke and some unidentified blue powder leaked out from inside.

What is this?

When I dabbed the powder and smelled it, it was exactly the same as the Pimpis flower’s scent.

It had the same fragrance and color as the Pimpis flower. It was definitely Pimpis pollen.

“This seems to be Pimpis pollen.”

As I muttered, Kaisis, who had been deep in thought, suddenly took the flower I was holding and cut it with his sword.

We couldn’t help but be surprised when we saw the cross-section of the cut flower.

The pattern that had looked like flower designs or geometric patterns we saw at the Hunting Competition was identical to the flower’s cross-section.

This confirmed that black magic and Pimpis flowers were definitely connected.

We really needed to find out the flower’s true identity.

* * *

Whenever we had time, we searched every flower shop and questioned them about Pimpis flowers.

But everywhere we went, we only got answers saying they didn’t know anything about Pimpis flowers.

Just when the clues about the flower were becoming increasingly mysterious.

“Miss, a letter has arrived.”

“Come in.”

The maid who entered the room politely handed me the letter.

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw the sender of the letter.

“Hazel?”

Anyone could know the Count’s Mansion address, so receiving a letter wasn’t strange.

But I didn’t expect Hazel to send me a letter first.

The fact that she liked me enough to give gifts and even send letters made me feel ticklish inside.

“You may go.”

When I dismissed the maid, she went outside.

I opened Hazel’s letter.

I wonder how she’s doing?

Until then, I thought Hazel’s letter would be an ordinary letter with just greetings.

But what was actually written in the letter was…

“What is this…”

It was serious.

[Hello, sister.

The situation is serious, so I’ll skip the greetings and get straight to the point.

My foster parents are acting strange.

They bow to a strange-looking magic circle every day, and they say I have to do it too.

But it doesn’t seem like an ordinary magic circle. It gives me an ominously bad feeling. Plus, I overheard what my foster parents were saying at dawn.

They’re going to use me as a sacrifice…

I don’t know exactly what kind of sacrifice, but I’m scared.

Please help me, sister.]

It seemed to be written hastily, as the handwriting was all scribbled.

It looked like she wrote it quickly to send the letter without being caught by her foster parents.

But a sacrifice?

Bowing to a strange-looking magic circle and offering sacrifices.

This is…

“Black magic?”

I could only think it was black magic.

Regular magic didn’t require offering sacrifices. It used the unique mana within the mage’s body.

But black magic was different.

Black magic sometimes gained more power by using human lives as the price.

I hurriedly got up from my seat.

If this letter was true, Hazel was in danger.

* * *

Kaisis and I took a carriage to the village where Hazel was living.

Since Hazel had written her home address at the end of the letter, we were able to arrive directly without getting lost.

I hurriedly jumped out as soon as the carriage stopped.

A red brick house.

It was the house at the address Hazel had given me.

I hurriedly knocked on the door. However, not even the slightest sound of people could be heard from inside.

If there were people, it would be normal to hear at least small sounds.

But the inside of the house was completely silent as if it were empty.

As I continued knocking on the door, someone came out from the house next door.

It was a woman of considerable age.

She came out with an irritated face, seemingly bothered by the knocking sound, but when she saw my attire, she was startled and bowed her head.

“How did a noble come to this place…”

“I came looking for a child who lives in this house. Are they not here now?”

When I asked, the woman hesitated saying “Well…” then soon confessed the truth.

“They fled in the night yesterday.”

“Fled in the night?”

“Yes, there was a commotion in the middle of the night, so I came out to see, and they were taking their luggage and the child somewhere. Just like people being chased by something…”

If Hazel’s letter to me had been discovered, it made sense that they would hastily flee in the night.

I was rumored to be a holy mage after all.

If they knew she had asked for help from someone like me, from the perspective of black magic followers, they would have no choice but to run away.

“Do you know where they went?”

“I don’t really know that much either…”

The woman shook her head.

I bit my lip, thanked her, and returned to the carriage.

Hazel, where on earth did you go?

That’s when it happened.

With a humming sound, I felt something in my pocket vibrating.

I hurriedly put my hand into my pocket.

What was in my pocket was none other than the stone Hazel had given me last time.

What was it called, the 【Saint’s Stone】?

“What is that?”

Kaisis asked, looking at the stone.

“Hazel gave it to me before, saying it reduces damage from black magic. But it seems to have other mysterious powers too.”

It was vibrating while emitting a mysterious blue light. Soon, a blue beam of light extending from the stone pointed somewhere.

What if this was pointing to where Hazel was?

I hurriedly got out of the carriage and held out the stone to the coachman.

“Please go to where this stone is pointing.”

I had brought it just in case, but I never thought it would be helpful in this way.

I handed the stone to the coachman and then got into the carriage.

Before long, the carriage began to depart.

I waited for the carriage to arrive, hoping that Hazel would be safe.

How long had we been traveling like that?

I felt the carriage come to a complete stop.

“Miss, the carriage cannot go any further from here.”

I looked out the window. The place where the carriage had stopped was at the entrance of some mountain.

There was no path, so we could go no further by carriage.

I got out of the carriage and received the stone back from the coachman.

The light emanating from the stone was pointing up the mountain.

After instructing the coachman to wait, I looked up at the mountain together with Kaisis.

I could feel an ominous aura.

“Are we going up, Master?”

“We have to.”

Hazel was up this mountain. We had to go up.

It was when I was preparing to climb the mountain. Suddenly Kaisis reached out his hand and lifted me up.

“Master’s attire is not suitable for climbing mountains. So I’ll carry you up.”

The tips of Kaisis’s ears were red as he said this.

Kaisis began climbing the mountain with large strides while carrying me like a princess.

It was a fast pace.

“I could climb up on my own feet…”

“No.”

Kaisis was firm.

Kaisis carried me and climbed deep into the mountain with large strides, following the light.

I looked in the direction the stone was pointing.

Before long, some kind of cave appeared.

I could see the beam of light gradually weakening. It seemed like this was the place.

“I think you can put me down now.”

Kaisis put me down.

The beam of light was still faintly pointing toward the inside of the cave.

I concealed both my and Kaisis’s appearances with invisibility magic.

“Let’s go in.”
