【147】
While the two of them clashed, the small wooden boat shattered into pieces.
Following that, the pathetic raft that the Wizard and Mint Belarion had been clinging to was also destroyed.
Everyone except Elzen was swept away by the current and drifting, and somehow…
I finally understood why the Emperor had no choice but to respect Fasayen.
Because Fasayen was the only one skilled in naval warfare…
“If everyone gets soaked in water, they lose their strength. The very possibility that enemies could invade through the Sea. For that reason alone, the Emperor needs the Fasayen Navy.”
“I see. Father, that’s amazing!”
I raised both thumbs up, and Father beamed with pride.
“At this rate, Elzen will end up acquiring both flags, won’t he?”
“Given the terrain advantage, that’s likely.”
“And Mint Belarion isn’t able to use any significant power either…”
Though shadows do lose their strength in the Sea, or so I’ve heard.
Anyway, as it became certain that we would win, my attention shifted away from the competition itself.
It was toward Blake, who was absent from this place.
“Father, Blake still hasn’t arrived. The competition will be over soon.”
“Perhaps he’s ill.”
“That wouldn’t be good. Can I visit him later to check on him?”
A friendly competition wasn’t just about winning or losing.
Directly witnessing and feeling the true capabilities of the opposing household through this competition—that indirect experience was also a form of education.
But the sole heir of Isthel wasn’t even showing up to watch. This was definitely strange.
At first, I thought he was just running late, but he hadn’t appeared for hours now.
“Well…”
Father, however, drew out his words meaningfully.
“He might show up for the next competition. Or perhaps he’s already returned to his Territory.”
“Still, if a friend is ill, you visit them to check on them.”
I spoke brightly, but Father still seemed skeptical.
Besides, returning to his Territory?
No matter how I thought about it, that didn’t seem likely—
‘Mother, why is Father acting like that?’
Confused, I tilted my head, but Mother also remained silent for a moment.
Then—
Quest!
Finding the Lost Puppy
The Flame Spirit King, the Earth Spirit King, and the Water Spirit King have given you homework!
✔
Find Blake Isshel’s whereabouts without anyone noticing
✔
Provide Blake Isshel, who is starving, with a meal
✔
Cheering for the imprisoned Blake Isshel to escape within 24 hours
Reward upon success
★Well done★ 3 stamps
Cautions
Stage 2. If you cannot find him before the Sea ends, you will part ways without saying goodbye.
“What?!”
A Quest suddenly came to mind, and the caution section contained such an overwhelming statement that I couldn’t help but cry out.
‘A goodbye? What are you saying right now?’
And the deadline is absurdly short, isn’t it?! What do you mean by imprisoned?
[The Flame Spirit King ‘Flammeus’ is reading the room.]
[Actually… this was the only time I could manage while avoiding causality. Well, I don’t have time for a long explanation, but… you can accept this Quest or refuse it.]
I was frozen in confusion, but I couldn’t just stand there.
Because right now, my Older Brother Elzen had just caught a Dragon and hurled it into the Sea!
No, wait!!
I need more time, Older Brother!
‘Please. Don’t be so capable.’
I hurriedly read the sentence attached below the cautions.
[This Quest has no penalty upon failure. However, there is a penalty upon success.]
[Penalty: The small wrath of causality]
[Henceforth, it is unknown how causality’s retaliation will return.]
“Rasifer!”
Three seconds.
In exactly three seconds, I made my decision and called out.
The name of the person who could help me fastest in this situation.
‘I don’t know what’s happening or how, but…’
A few sentences crystallized in my mind.
‘Blake is in trouble. That’s why he couldn’t participate.’
He’s even starving!
Could there be anything more important than this?
And I’m not afraid at all to receive a reward for helping a friend.
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ lets out a sigh.]
[I knew my daughter would do this. I don’t know what retaliation might come, but Mother will help. I thought you would grieve more over parting from Blake without even saying goodbye.]
That’s right, Mother.
Father seems to know what happened to Blake, but I’m certain he won’t tell me.
‘It must be something bad. Something so bad that I shouldn’t know about it.’
I grabbed Rasifer’s hand and sprang to my feet.
[Stooooop! Wait! Just a moment, young contestant! ( ꒪⌓꒪)!!!]
But that was when it happened.
With a ding, Upiros appeared.
[You mustn’t be discovered. In other words, you cannot ask Rasifer Laximon for help. If you tell anyone, the probability of causality noticing this situation increases.]
“…!”
[According to causality, Blake Isshel is in a situation where he cannot receive any assistance right now.]
What’s that supposed to mean?
That’s… that’s too much.
[If you absolutely must seek help, please purchase a Helper Usage Right ticket legitimately through the Eden Shop! ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )]
…Is it just me, or are the Quests becoming increasingly cruel?
Though I cooled down for a moment, I quickly accepted it.
After all, I had plenty of valid seals left to use anyway.
[Very well, let me explain the detailed conditions of the Quest.]
[Special Clear Condition Activated!: Move Stealthily.]
[With the purchased Helper Usage Right ticket, you may have only one helper. If anyone other than your helper discovers this, the Quest fails. o(≧∇≦o)]
This is not something to announce so cheerfully!
“Shu?”
“Oh, no. Wait a moment, I’m going to the bathroom.”
“Huh…?”
“Just a moment!”
Feeling the urgency, I pretended to head to the bathroom and slipped away from my seat, hurrying toward a secluded corner. Then, I quickly snapped my fingers.
‘Here it is. The Helper Usage Right! This is new.’
Do you need assistance?
Helper Usage Right
5 seals per ticket!
The person whose name is written on this ticket must help you without fail!
You may receive various forms of help without worrying about causality’s attention.
It’s essentially an exemption from probability.
Warning
Time Limit: 1 hour
‘Incredibly expensive!’
But I didn’t hesitate.
I’d been collecting and saving seals for important matters.
And this is exactly such a matter.
‘I’ll buy it.’
The moment I purchased the ticket, I rummaged through my bag and pulled out a pen.
Thank goodness I always carry the bag Elzen gave me.
[🙂: 8 ▶ 3]
[Grape Board Progress: 9/30]
I glanced past Upiros’s status notification and returned to my seat as if nothing had happened.
At least no one had caught on so far.
“Shu, you called for me earlier. Why did you call?”
“Oh, that… it was sudden….”
“Sudden?”
“I want an apple pie with a moist interior and crispy exterior! And sweet potato gratin, and perfectly roasted chicken, and marinated octopus cooked just right. Oh, and onion soup and butter and bread too!”
As I rattled off my wishes in rapid succession, Rasifer’s violet eyes widened in surprise.
‘Right, Rasifer doesn’t know how much of a glutton I am.’
But moments later, Rasifer let out a soft chuckle before breaking into genuine laughter.
“That’s adorable. Are you hungry?”
“Mm-hmm. I couldn’t wait for mealtime.”
“Got it. Should I conjure it with magic?”
“Yes, please.”
There’s no time to go all the way to the Kitchen.
Before my eyes, as my fingers fidgeted, a yellow checkered tablecloth materialized.
And then all the dishes I’d just mentioned appeared arranged in exquisite splendor.
Rasifer had merely flicked a single finger.
Rasifer truly is a remarkable Wizard.
‘With abilities like that, finding Blake should be easy for him.’
Since I’ve already written Rasifer’s name on my Helper Usage Right, I can ask him for assistance.
Only, Father and my Older Brothers mustn’t know.
‘I wonder if he could stop time for just the two of us, excluding everyone else?’
As I racked my brain over this, I belatedly noticed that the people around me were staring at me with astonished expressions.
