I Am the Madman of This Family

Chapter 119. I am (3)

I’m sorry, I’m sorry

You mean you still don’t believe me?

Even if you give it to me for free, I doubt it. You are capable. It is also prestigious. If you don’t explain it, you really won’t accept it.

“Because I need it, because I need it.”

“I also need something else. Don’t hesitate and speak quickly.”

Paneer said in a tone that he knew that. Anyway, even if I say it, it’s an inspiration that doesn’t know how to make it pretty.

“Sephira needs a head of household and elders. I know that you are still working hard day and night. It’s like pouring water into a bottomless pot, so it’s just invisible. By the way, isn’t your age too old? I’m worried about when you’ll fall. Look at it now.”

no, these people? It’s a compliment, but why are you looking at me like that? My story isn’t over yet.

“Elder Leganon seems to be blown away by even the slightest breeze, and Elder Panir seems to be sweating after fighting for a while. My father’s dark circles under his eyes will soon reach his knees. How can I not be worried?”

Miles asked, ‘So what about me?’ look at it with a look you are that

“Mile hyung is a bonus. If you can’t be alone, you’ll feel bad.”

The ability of sorcery is more difficult to learn than magic. Not only the talent required, but especially in terms of patience. So, compared to witchcraft, magic is relatively easy to learn.

I don’t think this is a reason enough to understand, but I still see only clever evil with a face that is not clear. It’s very tempting to eat evil with your eyes.

Damn, I didn’t mean to say that.

“I am also very grateful. I know. The things I’ve done so far would have been absolutely impossible if it had been from another noble family. They probably protested, foaming at the mouth and trying to block me by restricting my actions. But my father believed in me as he promised. In particular, I thought teaching Anise-hyung or Tarragon-hyung would be quite sensible.”

“There is no up or down in learning.”

Leganon old man helps. I don’t feel any discomfort in the way he treats me, as if his change of heart has been quite significant.

“Critically, I’m not such a bad guy as a squirrel gathers acorns, to take away the hard-earned grandparents’ seed money.”

“Kuh, squirrel. Even if you make a comparison, you make it very interesting.”

Grandpa Leganon laughs whenever I say something. Has your laugh code broken since then?

“I don’t like being treated like a pauper.”

“All right. If you don’t want to eat it for free, pay for it. I will only accept 250,000 gold.”

When he said he would accept the money, Paneer quickly stretched out his arm and took a rejuvenation pad.

Subsequently, both the father and the elder Leganon secretly took care of the rejuvenation band. Lastly, Miles also took the Shenzhen Dan.

That’s great. Is it so hard to get the elixir for free?

There are no tricks.

Because I’m grateful, because I did a good job, I give it a prize.

And I’m not a nerd who just says thank you, and ends with a good job. Isn’t it human nature to reciprocate when you’re grateful?

More than anything, you can buy it for 500,000 gold at the Rejuvenation Center outside, but 50,000 gold at the liqueur.

Elixirs that only work for the elderly are not popular among liqueurs. Everyone dies before they get old.

“Wouldn’t you be urging me to go back later and repay this favor?”

Paneer’s inspiration persists until the end. Not only for me, but for others as well, so I want to be like that.

“I don’t say such things in a trivial way, but I want to hear at least a few empty words of thanks.”

“… thanks. Don’t eat well.”

Anyway, even if I want to hate it, I can’t hate it. Thank you for giving me a lot of tea.

Grandpa Leganon and my father also thanked me. Lastly, Mile hyung too. I didn’t give it to you to hear that, but it feels good to hear it.

“Is there anything more to say?”

He nodded at his father’s words.

what do i have to say No news is good news, I think Sephira is doing well now.

I was the one who laid the groundwork for me, but my father and family members who believed in me so I could play an active role also played a big role.

Sephira’s unique atmosphere, which doesn’t fall into arrogance just because the situation has improved, also plays a part.

“doesn’t exist.”

“Ask me a few things. How far did you plan to go in the Southern Sword Tournament?”

No, you’re asking something obvious.

“It’s number one. It will be the southern sword, no, the palace.”

“Confidence is good to see. However, being number one is not always an advantage. All attention will be focused can you afford that? You and our Sephira.”

It seems that not only my father but also Leganon thought the same thing. He looks at me with a rather serious face.

I know what you’re worried about

It’s a nuance that makes you wonder if you’re showing too many things at once, or how about a decent 2nd place.

“Didn’t you decide to stop acting ambiguous? If you decided to give it a shot, then you should hit it as painfully as possible, or would you need to hit it lightly while watching?”

“Hot hot! You say what you like yes, that’s right If you’re going to hit me, hit me hard!”

Paneer agrees with my words. It’s because words work when it’s like this.

Originally, I thought my father would take care of politics, but now that he has said it, I will have to tell him to the end.

“Don’t worry, I’ll destroy all those who quarrel. We need to show that there are not only decent gentlemen in Sephira, but also madmen.”

At my words, my father burst out laughing.

From noble mtl dot com

“Whoops, even though I’m worried, I feel reassured.”

“basil. I agree with Keter’s will, but you don’t intend to leave the fate of the family to this child who hasn’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony, right?”

At Panir’s words, the father shook his head.

“no. I just believe in and support Keter’s heart for the family. If you don’t believe in me as a parent or family head, who will devote yourself to Sephira?”

“Hmm, I asked because you seem to be weak against Keter.”

“I care for the other children just like Keter. However, since Keter seems to live with her heart outside her body, it only draws more attention and worries her.”

“It’s you. Tsk.”

“Keter, speaking of coming of age ceremonies, do you know the day you were born?”

shrugged. No matter how good my memory is, I can’t remember the moment I was born.

“If you don’t mind, let’s make it January 1st. As a commemoration of a new beginning for both Sephira and you.”

“I like it. January 1st.”

I don’t know if it’s an ambiguous date. If it’s January 1st, it’s easy to remember, and it’s just right.

“There is only about a month left before the competition. I plan to leave ahead of schedule and settle in first, so Keter, you should prepare in advance.”

He roughly nodded. It’s me, because I’m always ready.

* * *

After the family meeting, the time of vacancy came.

Anis and Tarragon, who were confirmed to participate in the competition, continued their training in their own way, even though their training with Keter was over.

Keter, on the other hand, had a languid daily life. After a hearty breakfast, he took a nap under the warm sunlight, played with the sidekick he brought from Liqueur at noon, and taught Catherine archery and horse archery in the evening.

Catherine learned the art of archery, which is activated with materialization-type magic, like sucking water from a sponge. Basically, he had a high intelligence and an open mind, so he had a talent for magic.

Nine days have passed since then.

Since dawn, there has been a series of busily moving groups. The 5th squad of the Galactic Division drove horses and carriages and lined up in the garden.

After a while, five people gathered in front of the carriage. Keter and Catherine in light colors. And they were the three brothers, Miles, Anis, and Tarragon, fully armed.

“Keter, why did you bring Sir Catherine?”

To the question of Miles, who was chosen to be in charge of this journey, Keter shrugged with Catherine and said,

“I can’t get stuck in the image that Sephira only has dull men.”

“uh? Was it that kind of role? I heard you teach me more about magic archery.”

Katherine, who followed, is startled.

Keter loosened her shoulder strap and opened the carriage door.

“Humor and humiliation. You should be proud of something cool and beautiful, why do you let it rot? is not it?”

As if to show that he wasn’t expecting an answer, it was Keter who got on the carriage first.

Katherine looked at Miles with a puzzled look. Anyway, it was true that Katherine also wanted to personally visit the Southern Sword Tournament.

“If a competent knight like Sir Catherine goes along, I am welcome.”

It wasn’t word of mouth. Everyone in Sephira knew that Catherine was competent, and Miles especially liked Catherine.

This is because he showed meticulousness in his work, not missing details even in parts that could be considered trivial.

Catherine happily bowed her head in gratitude.

“hehehe, thank you.”

The wagon was large enough for 8 people to ride.

The group boarded the wagon in order of age. The commander of the 5th squad of the Galactic Division closed the door of the wagon and spoke through the window.

“I am Didos, the 5th Squad Commander of the Galactic Division, in charge of escorting this journey. The destination is the direct territory of Eslow, where the Southern Sword Tournament is held. The goal is to arrive at 2:00 p.m. without a stopover in between. Sir Miles. If there are no abnormalities, can we leave?”

Although he had already checked once, Miles checked the condition of the party once more. All of them had flushed faces, half mixed with tension and anticipation. Except for Keter, half-lying and yawning leisurely.

The state of the Galactic Knights outside the wagon was also checked through the window. Two coachmen, four fronts, three backs. All ten people, including the leader Didos, confirmed it.

No one came out to see them off. In order to avoid nobles who would obviously sabotage, the departure schedule was kept strictly secret.

“Let’s go.”

At Mile’s end, DDoS sends a signal to depart. A whip sounds and the wagon starts rolling.

Catherine begins to practice the ‘manifestation magic’ she learned from Keter, and Anise meditates. Tarragon checks the equipment.

Miles opened a thick book. It was a book containing maps and history of the Eslow Territory. It must have been the book I was reading, so I start reading from the middle.

And Keter was leaning against the window, looking out. Miles glanced at him and smiled.

‘Keter must have been to a big city for the first time. At times like this, he’s also like a younger brother.’

In reality, he was just sleeping with the wind blowing, but as the representative of the party, Miles burned more responsibility.

* * *

There were two people watching from a high window as the carriage was gradually moving away. It was Basil Gazoo and sous vide general butler.

“Are you concerned?”

At Sous-vide’s question, Basil smiled faintly.

“I am always worried. I’m prepared every day, but it’s hard to hide my worry that my children will go wrong.”

“There can be no problems. But I think you can do it. Master Miles is wise and improvised, and will lead the party well. Sir Didos, who has a lot of experience, will also protect the youngsters no matter what problems arise.”

“hmm.”

Basil nodded in affirmation and looked up at the sky.

Keter proclaimed that her son would become the Sword of the South.

Basil could not stand still. As I had told Panir, I had no intention of leaving the fate of my family to Keter.

“General butler. Have you heard of the Guardian of Sephira?”

“… yes.”

“Is it true? The legend says that there is indeed a guardian who protects Sephira from the shadows.”

“It is all true.”

Basil has never seen it, but Subid has seen Guardians. It was a very long time ago, but it left an unforgettable and strong impression.

“Is he in the sanctuary?”

Sanctuary of Sephira.

It is a place with a ‘sacred tree’ planted by the first family head. It was also a place close to the graves of successive heads of Sephira.

“His name is Endymion, and I’m not sure if I can meet him because he said he’s going to the sanctuary. Why do you want to meet me?”

“I have a question, but I think only he knows.”

Basil had a sense of incongruity he had felt for a long time. It was about the arcane archery that had been handed down to Sephira since ancient times, the zodiac sign.

“There is a flaw in the zodiac. Something is missing. I tried to unravel its secrets, but I realized that I could never reach them from a human point of view.”

It cannot be denied that even with the zodiac lacking the essence, it is an extremely advanced technique. But Basil wanted to get his hands on more possibilities than that.

Because I’m greedy

Because I have ambition.

You have a reason to be strong. In order to adapt to the times, we must start evolving even at the risk.

“I have to solve the secret of the zodiac sign.”

Kether in her previous life saw the zodiac and realized that it was an imperfect skill. So, referring to the zodiac sign, he created his own archery technique, ‘Heaven and Earth Infinite Palace (天地無弓)’.

But that was only possible because it was Keter.

Basil, the head of Sephira, could not easily give up the zodiac. No, there was no reason to give up. This is because the zodiac sign was the origin of the Sephirah.

Sensing Basil’s will, Sous-vide brought the coat and said,

“I will take you to the sanctuary.”

So, Basil headed to the sanctuary to solve the secrets of the zodiac –

Small holes began to form in the causality of the dark destruction that engulfed Sephira.
