I was reincarnated as a famous genius with the greatest talent ever. Episode 102
60. Somehow, it was strange (1)
We took our seats again at my suggestion.
This time it was the room I was staying in.
Although it was somewhat incomprehensible, Delward hid his face with his hood, saying he was not confident enough to see his father yet.
Fortunately, it was during a banquet, and none of the soldiers had the guts to stop Leila, so we were able to safely enter my room.
“Hello, I couldn’t even introduce myself properly. Delward Termion. “He’s Leila’s younger brother.”
Ernest was equally taken aback by the completely unexpected family reunion.
It was truly an awkward meeting.
But soon, when he heard the words ancient beings and ruins, his eyes lit up.
“Oh my god, ancient beings and ruins… … “This absolutely stinks.”
“Is that what you think?”
Ernest was ready to run at any moment.
“Whoa… … “You guys are really fearless, aren’t you?”
I grinned at Delward’s words.
“There’s another kid like that.”
“… … “Are you some kind of troublemaker club?”
I don’t know if he’s fearless, but there’s one guy who speaks in a way that’s not typical of a priest.
“It’s really dangerous… … This isn’t a kid’s game, really. It’s not that I don’t trust you. They’re Leila’s friends, and you know they’re all incredibly talented, but… … “It’s too dangerous.”
I returned those words verbatim.
“Then isn’t it dangerous to go to the Khabarosk Mountains alone?”
“… … .”
Delward seemed speechless.
I grinned and clicked.
“Some things you have to do alone, but sometimes you have to do them together.”
Now is the time.
Of course, even if you go, you can’t go right away.
Because sufficient investigation must be conducted first.
“It’s probably less than moving at the family level.”
“Why can’t I borrow my family’s power?”
I explained to Leila a bit of a political perspective.
“What kind of family is Termion?”
“That’s the best family in the empire.”
“Then the Drenik Empire knows about it, right? And very well.”
“… … .”
If the Termion duchy’s involvement were somehow leaked, the scale of the matter would change.
One more thing here.
“If you move at the family level, information will leak out in some way. The Khabarosk Mountains are claimed by both sides of the empire. “If you get caught up in something pointless, your head will hurt even more.”
Delward agreed.
“that’s right. They say it’s impossible, but there are actually Drenik spies all over the empire. “This is what I learned while living in Drenik.”
I know this well, and on the contrary, the Alteon Empire also probably planted several spies in Drenik.
“So are we okay?”
“We have a cause.”
But we are different.
Because there is a reason for it to be a club.
More than anything… … .
“The Dillon family specializes in exploration.”
We have a scion of the Dillon family, a renowned exploration family and a man who is not good at exploring.
Even if something goes wrong before it starts, just pretend you’re going to explore.
When I explained these parts, Delward looked at me blankly and then suddenly asked.
“… … “You said you and Leila were the same age as her, right?”
“Leila’s birthday is earlier.”
“Are kids these days precocious?” … “I didn’t know that someone your age would even consider political viewpoints.”
Delward clicked his tongue and eventually nodded.
“good. But you must keep it a secret. Even after leaving, while on the way, and even after returning.”
That’s obvious.
“Honestly, I want to save my mother’s life, even if it’s a secret… … Phew.”
I can’t even imagine how severe the pain must have been.
And again, it’s an incredible amount of filial piety.
To cure his mother’s illness, he wandered the Drenik Empire, the most dangerous place for the people of the Alteon Empire, for several years.
Considering that he obtained this information and returned safely, he is clearly not an average person.
Anyway, this was another addition to our exploration itinerary.
Atalia Island during vacation.
After that, if the schedule is set, we will go to the Khabarosk Mountains.
What the two places have in common is the keyword ‘ancient’.
It’s an ancient being.
Is there going to be a golem-like guy that I only see in books?
It looks like fun.

“Anyway, Leila, I’m glad you have such good friends.”
“… … “If you say something like that now, I won’t forgive you.”
Still, unlike before, Layla’s expression seemed to have relaxed a lot.
Delward smiled with relief.
“haha… … I’m so glad. It seems like you’re doing well. By the way, Leila. this.”
Suddenly, he took out a package from his arms.
It was a slightly larger box, as if it had been taken out of subspace.
It was decorated quite classically.
“what’s this?”
Leila asked indifferently, but her expression seemed to show interest.
“Open it yourself. That way, the emotion will be greater.”
“What is emotion… … .”
Still, Leila accepted the box and gently and carefully opened the lid.
Then, beautiful music played, and suddenly a small statue came out of the box and started spinning slowly.
“how is it? Cool, right? “It’s called a ‘music box’ in the Drenik Empire, and it has an incredibly complicated mechanism inside that makes it work.”
“wow… … .”
Layla had forgotten how angry she was just now and was amazed.
Music box.
I remember.
The sight of a soldier in the same squad laughing as he said that he had saved up his salary to buy it and that he was giving it to his daughter.
The soldier survived and was discharged safely.
My daughter would have grown up by now.
“this… … So pretty.”
“right? It’s really great stuff. “I thought of you, Leila, from the first time I saw you.”
“Is this thing powered by a magic stone?”
“no. This is how you wind the mainspring that sticks out on the side. “As it is released, music is played with the force of rotating the axis, and this is how it works.”
Delward then added quietly.
“And it’s custom-made.”
“huh? custom order? ah… … !”
When I looked closely, the statue spinning in the center of the music box looked exactly like someone.
It was Leila.
“how is it? “Isn’t it cool?”
Delward looks very proud.
Do my sisters feel the same way?
“… … “Thank you, brother.”
“Thank you. Let me know if you need anything later. By the way, there are a lot of interesting things made with mechanical devices like this in the Drenik Empire, so I’ll definitely check it out later… … .”
“do you want to die? Are you going there again? it’s crazy?”
I thought Delward’s back probably wouldn’t be left behind today.
Anyway, after a while.
“Okay, whatever. Phew. “I’m leaving tonight.”
“You’re leaving? What are you talking about?”
At Delward’s words, Layla grabbed his sleeve.
“don’t go.”
“I’m sorry, Leila. I bought some time, but I don’t know what will happen next. “You have to show up a little early.”
“… … Are you going like this again? How many years has it been since I last saw you?”
Delward shook his head.
“It’s different this time.”
Then, suddenly, a line of code was called.
It was the code of the communication crystal ball.
“Now that I am planning to stay in the Empire again, please contact me any time. If you ever need me, let me know. “I’ll run right over.”
“… … .”
Layla finally sighed as if there was nothing she could do.
“okay. Instead, you have to be careful.”
“of course.”
Delward grinned.
Coming back after so many years and leaving without staying even for a day means there must be a good reason.
I remember Duke Termion lamenting ‘his immorality’ when asked about Delward.
Maybe there is a story related to this.
or… … .
There are other reasons.
Anyway, the short reunion came to an end and-
“… … Can’t you really just stay for tonight? There are a lot of things I want to tell you… … .”
“Leila.”
Delward bent his knees to be at eye level with Layla and shook his head as if he was truly sorry.
“I’ll come back next time. “It won’t take long.”
“… … okay.”
“And this.”
Delward placed a pouch in Leila’s hand.
“Be sure to tell your mother to eat it. “I tell my story without my father’s knowledge.”
“… … Yes.”
It’s like the medicine that was said to slow down my mother’s illness.
After getting ready to leave, he came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
“Please take care of my little brother, my Dane little brother.”
“Sure. take care.”
“OK.”
If I see you talking about my Dane younger brother even though we’ve only known each other for a few hours, I need to know that you’re a good person.
Actually, since he was so friendly, he was able to stay in the Drenik Empire for several years.
“Ah, a friend of the famous explorer too. “I look forward to seeing your performance on the day we go to the ruins together.”
“Sure!”
It’s time to leave.
“Then, I’ll go.”
“You have to take care of yourself, really!”
“huh. Contact me, Leila.”
Green onions!
Delward jumped up the extremely high wall in one leap.
“wow.”
And disappeared in an instant.
“Drenik’s leaping device.”
Ernest’s eyes twinkled as if he was curious at my muttering.
“Is that a mechanical device too?”
“huh. maybe.”
There are quite a few such mechanical devices that are used for single-use or multi-use purposes. There are semi-permanent items, but they are very expensive.
Anyway, it was an unexpected meeting and an unexpected experience.
“… … .”
Leila was staring at the wall for a long time.
I whispered to Ernest at that sight.
“I’m comforting you.”
“huh? “Where are you going?”
“huh. Please stay in your room for a while. I left something behind. “I’ll be back soon.”
“okay. Come back. “I’ll stay with Leila.”
After seeing Ernest approaching Leila, I looked at the wall that Delward had just jumped over.
ruler.
Which way did you want to go?
Should I put to use what I learned from my mother?
* * *
A man running down a dark alley.
Delward Termion.
His expression was obviously not good.
‘I’m sorry, Leila.’
But it’s not just about the fact that I have to leave without seeing my younger brother, whom I haven’t seen in years, for just a few hours.
‘You’re ridiculously persistent.’
I never would have thought that they would chase me all the way to the Termion duchy in the capital.
They didn’t even notice they went inside yet. That was the feeling. But now that it’s out and moving again, you’ll notice right away.
‘How on earth do you know?’
Delward was currently being chased by assassins from the Drenik Empire.
From the time I crossed the border of the Drenik Empire until now.
The reason is simple.
Just before leaving the Drenik Empire, it was discovered that he was from the Alteon Empire.
They knew that we had been staying for quite a long time, so of course an urgent decision was made to chase them.
‘Luckily, they don’t seem to know that I am from the Termion duchy… … .’
Meanwhile, the decision to go to the mansion was a gamble.
But it worked, and fortunately, they seemed to wander around while staying at the mansion.
‘Good thing I knew about the secret passage.’
But how long can it last?
How long can you resist their pursuit while searching for each and every ingredient that is difficult to obtain?
“Still, I’m glad.”
It might be the last time, but I can at least see your face.
no.
You must not become weak.
If you get weak here… … .
I can’t save my mother.
“can do.”
That was the moment I thought about it.
Peeing!
Delward urgently stopped walking due to a momentary feeling of déjà vu.
“… … this.”
I discovered a wire that reflects very slightly in the moonlight.
Not just one or two.
The forward path was completely blocked.
Delward looked up.
And then, he let out a helpless laugh.
“It’s over.”
Four pairs of eyes emerge from the darkness and look at you.
The fact that the assassin appears instead of being in the dark is no different from the fact that the assassination has already been completed.
“… … .”
They came down in silence and surrounded Delward.
finished.
I didn’t know it would be this quick, but it was over.
“It has a long tail.”
Delward chuckled at the words of one assassin.
“iced coffee. Still, it lasted quite a while, right? Thanks to you, I was able to go sightseeing while crossing the Alteon Empire. “Aren’t you grateful?”
Even though they were laughing softly, the assassins did not react any further and took out daggers from each of their arms.
Delward was resigned.
Right now, my head will be blown off before I even get my hand on the sword handle.
It makes me wonder how I have survived so far.
‘Leyla, I’m sorry.’
A clear moon night.
It was a mood fit for death.
of course-
It doesn’t just die.
Keying.
Delward activated the Drenik Empire’s mechanical device equipped on his arm by flowing magical energy.
If you do well, you will be able to take at least two guys.
Although it will make a lot of noise due to self-destruction.
“Come on, let’s finish this.”
Delward grinned.
But a cold answer came back from the assassins.
“no use. “Just remove the detonator and that’s it.”
“… … “It’s ruined.”
Delward stuck his tongue out.
I can’t believe I was caught right up to the last resort.
This is the way to go.
It looks like he won’t be able to resist and will die.
‘I should have at least apologized to my father.’
Delward thought that far, and the three assassins raised their daggers at the same time –
Phew.
There was a faint sound of the blade cutting into flesh.
“… … .”
Delward closed his eyes tightly.
Anyway, it’s a bit weird to get stabbed with your eyes open.
But it’s strange.
I heard a sound, but there was no pain.
Is it some kind of poison that paralyzes your senses the moment you get stabbed?
‘As expected, is it torture?’
After paralyzing them, they take them somewhere… … .
“Ugh.”
weird.
It wasn’t his own scream.
Phew!
And then the sound comes again.
This time it’s the other side.
Delward opened his eyes.
I can’t feel any signs from front or back.
Those who should be there are down.
“… … !”
The guy right next to there was-
I was panicking and looking around.
Then.
Quad Deuk!
Suddenly, a root sprouted from the ground and tied up the man’s feet.
Delward pulled out his sword without hesitation.
and.
Wow!
It pierced the guy’s heart in an instant.
“It’s big.”
The moan didn’t last long.
No matter how much of an assassin you are, if you get stabbed in the heart, you will die.
“Whoa.”
dump.
After the last guy fell, Delward breathed a sigh of relief.
lived
I don’t know who helped me, but I survived.
Delward immediately looked around.
“As expected, I was being tracked.”
A voice is heard.
be used to.
I’m sure I’ve heard that voice somewhere… … .
“For some reason, I thought you were leaving too hastily and that you were still anxious. There… … “I also feel something else.”
“… … you… … .”
Delward was dazed as he looked at the silver-haired boy who had just walked out of the darkness.
Dane Sogress.
My sister’s… … It was a friend.
Dane said while looking at Delward.
“Let’s deal with these guys first.”
