The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

47 – Farewell at Dawn (9)

When we returned to the guild, Leana was humming and cooking.

Ornette is standing next to him and watching.

“Are you okay? Have you been to the hospital?”

“Ah, I got better all of a sudden after taking the divine treatment!”

When Leanna asked, Celestine babbled.

“Really? Divine power is really amazing.”

Leah I said that and she went back to cooking, but she wasn’t the hornet next to him.

Ornette stared at Celestine with eyes that didn’t know what he was thinking.

Feeling burdened by that gaze, Celestine hesitated, avoiding her gaze at me.

“Can I go wash up…?”

“Yes, but you are here.”

I stopped Celestine, who was about to run out the back door.

“Are you really sick?”

“I don’t know how to lie!”

“Yes, yes. Go and wash it.”

As Celestine passed the kitchen, Ornette suddenly spoke up.

“That fat woman is lying.”

Just about to open the back door, Celestine stiffened.

“What are you talking about, all of a sudden? A lie?”

Leanna asked, but Ornette didn’t say anything.

Just staring at Celestine in silence.

Celestine began to sweat profusely as she met her deep blue eyes.

You can see the darkening of the back from sweating so quickly.

Along with that, the normally invisible halo blinked abnormally.

I’d be embarrassed even if I were the same since he’s been accused of being a liar and there’s no explanation.

In addition, the opponent is not another person, but a wizard who resembles Orléans, whom Celestine is afraid of.

In the yard where even the illusion magic was performed earlier, I suddenly pointed out with a finger that I lied.

I pushed the back of Celestine, who had hardened like a stone statue.

“Go and wash up.”

“Hueeng…”

Celestine whimpered and ran out the back door.

As the back door closed, Ornette turned her gaze back to the kitchen counter as if nothing had happened.

Leah met her eyes with mine and I shrugged her shoulders as if I didn’t know what she was talking about.

I couldn’t figure out what it was talking about either.

You said you lied all of a sudden.

Could it be that he has the ability to distinguish between true and false?

I asked, but he doesn’t know.

What the hell do you know?

And all that evening, Celestine avoided Ornette.

* * * * *

The next morning.

“Where’s Ornette?”

They sit around a round table on the first floor and have an early breakfast, but Ornette is nowhere to be seen.

“He’s still sleeping.”

Leana answered as she put the food on the plate in front of me.

“I went in and woke him up, but he showed no sign of getting up?”

“Did you sleep late last night?”

“You brushed your teeth in the evening with me and went straight to your room. You must have slept for at least eight hours?”

“Then you must be sleeping a lot.”

“I’m not going to commission you right away anyway, just let me sleep.”

“Okay. If you wake up later after we’re all out, cook me some food.”

“Don’t worry.”

Celestine opened her mouth cautiously, looking back and forth at Leanna and me as she munched her mouth full of food.

“By the way. Is he still in the guild?”

“For the time being. And if you don’t mind, I’ll stay.”

“Huh?! Why?!”

“It’s a wizard. It’s really difficult to get a wizard into a guild. This is a heaven-sent opportunity.”

“Is that so…?”

“Is it because you said you lied yesterday? Or because you’re a fat woman?”

Then Celestine flinched and leaned her back against the backrest as if trying to pull her away from me.

“Oh, no? Not at all? It’s just that I look so much like that wizard back then…”

“You’re a good liar. That’s probably not what made you feel uncomfortable with me.”

Celestine stiffened as she saw Ornette coming down the stairs.

Ornette walked slowly and sat down in a chair without looking at anyone.

Celestine pulled the chair as far into her as she could with sweat dripping from her forehead and the bridge of her nose.

Then a pleasant scent came over me.

“It’s delicious.”

Ornette said nonchalantly after eating soup full of mushrooms and vegetables.

“Thank you for saying that.”

Leanna smiled and served the food on Ornette’s front plate.

Ornette didn’t say a word until the meal was over.

Because he doesn’t speak much, anyone would misunderstand him as dumb.

From noble mtl dot com

Orléans had a personality that didn’t say unnecessary things, but it wasn’t to that extent.

That guy was really good at greetings for smooth interpersonal relationships.

Celestine ate a lot while keeping her head down and watching Ornette.

From there, two questions arose.

I exercise with me every morning to lose weight, but will I really lose weight?

I told you not to starve and exercise. I’ve never told you to eat as much as you like.

And what about yesterday’s lie, why is it reacting like that?

Of course I didn’t ask. It’s obvious that there will be an uproar.

After finishing our meal, Celestine and I packed our cloaks and weapons and left the guild.

Leah I tidy up her round table, and the spout floats back to the floor as it slides.

I asked if I was going to sleep better, but there was no specific answer.

I was just leaving the alley when I saw Clemence walking from the other side.

“Huh? Mr. Leonard, Mr. Celestine!”

Clemence, who spotted us, waved his hand, puffing out his dimples.

“I was on my way to the guild anyway.”

“Will you give me a request?”

“No, unfortunately, it’s not a request. The wizard asked me to meet you, so I’m going to deliver that message.”

“Really? That’s great.”

It’s unexpected to have an appointment in one day.

“Then when should I go? Do I have to wait a week or so?”

“Are you okay this afternoon?”

“Afternoon? So soon? Wizard?”

“You showed great interest in the relic of the High Wizard.”

Hmm, this is going smoothly.

“The mayor was against it…”

Clemence added hesitantly.

* * * * *

Around the time we promised to meet the wizard.

I took Ornette to the City Hall.

I went to the guild just in time for lunch, but I forcibly woke him up and dragged him out of bed.

It seems like he sleeps a lot, but it’s kind of troublesome if he’s like this.

Ornette looked around the lobby of the city hall with nonchalant eyes and asked.

“Is this the wizard’s house?”

“No, it’s City Hall. Do you know what City Hall is?”

“I know. I know all the basic elements of society, so there’s no need to be too blank.”

“Yes. I’m sorry.”

Clements met us in the lobby and guided us personally.

“Hello, Mr. Leonard. Uh, who’s next to you?”

Clemence was taken aback when he saw Ornette staring at him with sea-blue calm eyes.

“I’m sure you decided to meet only one Mr. Leonard…”

“That’s right. This is the relic of the high wizard I mentioned.”

“Ah, an artifact… Is it…?”

Clements, who was bewildered, snapped his fingers knowingly.

“Are you the daughter of that high wizard?”

“Yes? Ah, yes. Something like that.”

“Um, I see. Come this way.”

Clements led the way up the stairs.

“You two really need to be careful what you say today.”

As we walked down the hallway on this floor, Clemence repeatedly cautioned us.

“Because you’re the only wizard in our city. In fact, even the mayor is a bit shy.”

“Wizards are always like that. They’re the kind of people who don’t eat cheap soup.”

“Shh!”

Clemence was frightened, putting his finger to his lips and making a fuss.

Hearing that, Ornette had an indifferent expression, as if she had no interest.

The innermost room on this floor of City Hall is where the wizard lives.

From the splendid intaglio engraved on the door and the very expensive-looking statues standing on the left and right sides, it was possible to know roughly what kind of character it was.

Ornette stared at them with an expression that showed no special emotion.

“Is everyone ready?”

Clements knocked on the door with a rather nervous expression.

“Magician…! The guests we were supposed to meet today have arrived…!”

Then the door slid open without a sound.

Clements smiled awkwardly and began slowly backing away from him.

“Then let’s talk.”

Then they ran away in a hurry.

“Let’s go in.”

I put my hand on Ornette’s shoulder and entered through the open door.

“It smells awful.”

As soon as he entered the room, Ornette covered his nose with the sleeve of his robe.

Scented candles, not stench? I guess something like that.

It was dark in the room.

The sunlight coming through the dark red curtains turned into a grotesque color, and the scent of incense was so thick it obscured my vision like fog.

This is the city hall wizard’s room?

If you come in without knowing anything, you’ll know where the brothel is.

“There’s something over there.”

Ornette pointed through the thick smoke.

When I squinted my eyes, I saw a human figure under the dim candle light.

It was too dark to see her face, but she was definitely a woman.

Lying obliquely on a long sofa, wearing nothing but bizarre underwear.

When I saw that, I burst out laughing.

That’s a town hall wizard? My taxes, b*tch.

I was so dumbfounded that I was about to stand still, but the wizard slowly reached out his hand.

Then he flicked her finger.

“Close up.”

Huh? What’s the voice

Isn’t that a bit strange? sh*t, what is it?

“Why are you putting a seal spell on the door?”

Ornette, who had been quiet at that time, opened her mouth.

“What do you mean, that?”

“I locked the door with magic.”

The moment I heard that, I grasped everything and strode across the room.

The wizard was lying down with a deep smile until he approached the sofa.

Seeing her face up close, I cursed and reached out my hand.

Somehow, he said his voice sounded familiar.

“Isiste, you b*tch!”

The year that ate my request fee!!
