Episode 66. Those Who Call for Death (2).

At that moment, Lily was transferring thick pancakes from the frying pan to a plate.

The girl looked with satisfaction at the plate of layer upon layer of delicious brown baked pancakes, each with its own unique color, and steaming hot. She opened the cupboard and took out a jar of syrup and jam from among the many neatly arranged bottles.

She poured syrup into a small bowl with a handle that came with the plate, and also added some fruit jam that Damier’s chef, Chef Shap, had made himself. Finally, she added some butter cut into small pieces and headed out of the villa after looking at the various types of juice in the storage room.

To ask the owner I’m serving what kind of juice would be good.

“baby…!”

Lily, who was about to call Mabel with a raised voice, took a deep breath before finishing her call and her face turned pale.

Mabel lying down.

And that was because a large beast came into view approaching Mabel.

A beast with an appearance similar to a cat with jet-black fur. However, it was several times larger than the cats Lily knew, and it had pointy ears with hairs that looked like horns on the tips.

I was relieved to hear that no living creatures lived in the Black Forest, and left my young master alone.

Lily’s eyes were moving quickly, and she picked up the shovel that had been placed at the entrance, which could be used as a weapon. The girl, holding the shovel tightly with both hands, which was about to drip down from the cold sweat, slowly walked.

?Lily. If you ever come across a beast, never show that you’re scared. Don’t even turn your back. The moment you show your back and are scared, you’ll be hunted.?

Remembering the way Tariq had taught her about dealing with beasts in Terdam, Lily tried to stay calm and approached the beast little by little.

But Lily was a girl with ordinary physical abilities who had never learned how to erase people’s tracks or walk without making a sound.

– Rustle.

The grass beneath Lily’s feet crunched, making a small sound, and the black beast did not miss that sound.

“Meow-?”

The beast’s head turned towards Lily, its pointed ears perked up, and as she looked into the black pupils of its pale yellow eyes, Lily threw down her shovel and ran towards her master.

I don’t know how I ran. Just thinking about saving my master, Lily hugged the small fallen body and faced the beast.

– Thud. Thud.

Lily felt her heartbeat pounding in her head and her body tremble uncontrollably, hugging the small body in her arms even tighter.

The beast seen up close was even larger than it was when seen from afar. The beast tilted its head as it faced Lily with its yellow eyes and slowly approached her.

Kick. There was no way to deal with the approaching beast. As the black leg lifted, Lily closed her eyes against the pain that was to come.

And at that moment.

“My-.”

– Bam.

A unique cry, a mix of a cat’s cry and a bird’s cry, rang out, and instead of pain, Lily could feel a soft touch resting on her head.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a black beast that had lowered its body as if telling them not to be afraid, as if it had no intention of attacking them. Lily let out the breath she had been holding as she saw its long tail wagging.

After that, Lily carried her master into the villa. She laid her small body on the bed, covered it with a blanket, and when she saw the black beast watching her from the stairs down to the first floor, her heart almost stopped.

For some unknown reason, the beast had no intention of attacking him or the young lady.

“Mya- Mya-.”

The beast, who had been watching Lily looking at him without being able to come down all the stairs, went to the kitchen and cried while looking at the table.

On the table was a plate of pancakes and syrup, and Lily slowly approached, looking back and forth between the plate and the beast before hesitantly asking.

Oddly enough, I had a feeling I knew what this beast wanted.

“Is this what you want?”

“meow-.”

The beast responded with a short cry to Lily, who asked while pointing at the hotcakes. Lily placed the plate on the table in front of the beast and used the chair as a shield to look at the beast from behind the chair.

As if Lily’s business was over, the beast began eating the hotcakes on the plate.

Very… delicious.

“Meow- meowaang-? Meow, meow meow-.”

The plate was quickly emptied, and the beast that had been rummaging through the empty plate soon raised its head, looked around, and stamped its forelegs on the floor.

– Chubby.

With a sound that was not dangerous at all. The beast cried out loud as if to say something, and Lily asked cautiously.

“Do you want to eat more?”

“meow.”

Another short cry came as an answer.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“meow.”

“You’re not going to eat me and the girl?”

“Meow? Meow meow- myaaa-? Meow, meow-.”

An indecipherable cry.

But the beast’s expression and voice seemed to say, ‘What? Why am I eating you? Give me more of this.’

Lily’s tension was relieved by the sight of the beast pushing the plate with its thick forepaws as if it really wanted more pancakes, and she sat down, holding onto the chair.

“ha….”

What the heck is going on… .

Lily let out a long sigh and looked at the beast that was licking its front paw calmly like a cat, while making a sad face. The girl then got up to cook more hotcakes.

Fortunately, a few hours later.

Mabel, who had collapsed around dinner time, opened her eyes.

“Huh-!!!”

Mabel opened her eyes with a start, making a somewhat strange sound. She raised her upper body and soon groaned, holding her head with both hands.

“Ugh… my head… . Headache… .”

Mabel, who had been holding her head and groaning, blinked and looked around as the dizziness that had momentarily overwhelmed her subsided.

Mabel soon realized that she was lying in her room in the villa. She wondered if Lily had carried her here after collapsing, and she could guess that the girl was very surprised. She got out of bed.

“Lily-!”

Mabel opened the door and went down to the first floor, calling Lily’s name. She jumped down the last staircase.

“meow-.”

And then we faced it.

The yellow pupils of a huge black beast that was exactly the same level as his own. The clear purple pupils that met the beast’s eyes opened wide and its small mouth opened.

“Kuaaaah-!!!”

“My-!!!”

– Bam!

As the loud and eerie screams and the howls of a beast filled the villa, Lily opened the door to her room and appeared.

“miss?!”

“Li, Li, Lily!!! That… No, this… ! No!”

Mabel stammered and pointed to the beast as Lily ran towards her, turning around to examine her body here and there.

“It’s okay. He’s not the kind of kid who’ll get in our way.”

Lily comforted the surprised Mabel with a calm and gentle voice, led the child to the sofa, sat her down, and gave her a glass of warm milk.

“What happened?”

Only after the mug of warm milk was in her hands and she had sipped the milk at a comfortable temperature did the real Mabel glance at the beast curled up on the fluffy rug under the sofa and ask Lily.

Lily explained the situation after Mabel collapsed, and after hearing her explanation, Mabel was able to realize that the black figure she had seen before collapsing was this beast.

“This may sound strange, but this child seems to understand what we are saying.”

“Speak?”

“yes.”

Mabel looked at the beast, whose eyes were now closed.

The glossy black fur seemed to glow softly. The short, flat face, large, pointed triangular ears, and long, rounded tail made it look like a feline no matter how you looked at it.

What’s unique is the hair that sticks out like horns at the tip of the ears, and the hair from the forehead to the nose is slightly lighter, giving it a striped appearance. Is it a large body that you can climb on?

Mabel also knew of a beast with exactly the same appearance. A large cat called a ‘caracal’. Although it didn’t have the tan or brick-red fur she remembered, the stripes on its face and the fur on the tips of its ears were very similar to the characteristics of a large cat called a caracal.

And the shiny black fur. Although it was now covered and invisible, the pale yellow eyes he had seen were the same as the external features of a dark elf.

“…Lisa.”

Mabel muttered a name.

At that moment, the pointed triangular ears perked up and the black beast’s eyes, which had been closed, opened them.

Mabel, facing the vivid yellow eyes, once again recalled the name of the second victim, the dark elf twin with yellow eyes.

“Your name is ‘Lisa’, right?”

In the original work, there was no mention of dark elves being able to take the form of animals. In the Black Forest and its vicinity, there were plants, but no animals, including humans, lived.

The only people who made a home here, as far as Mabel could remember, were the second group of victims: the dark elf twins.

Could an animal with the same coloring as a dark elf, with intelligence enough to understand the speech of a person who suddenly appeared in such a place, really be unrelated?

The black beast called Lysa looked Mabel in the eye for a long time, tilted its head, then sat up, curled up into a ball.

“meow.”

A short cry. Soon the small head nodded slightly up and down.

And at that moment, a single black sprout lifted its head from a small mound of dirt outside the villa.

Meanwhile, Kael, completely unaware of the situation outside, was looking at Tariq lying on the bed.

?Oh my, someone has lost their mind…!?

?Fortunately, there is an empty house in our village. I will guide you there, so you can use it as long as you want.?

This was Shabbat, the house given to us by the people of the village of rest. They were strangely hospitable and kind to the strangers who had suddenly visited their village.

“… Stella.”

He seemed to be in pain. Kael let out a short sigh at the sight of Tariq frowning.

He felt a little regretful that he had brought Tariq with him, knowing that he would be affected by this magic, unlike himself, who could have avoided it because he knew how to break it.

Because the inner mirror was a magic that allowed you to face the past and regrets that you had hidden and buried within yourself. Those who were able to free themselves from this magic achieved spiritual growth.

The reason Kael brought Tariq was also related to this.

Because he said he wanted to become strong.

In the original, after escaping from this magic.

The effect was certain, as Lars was able to awaken as a Sword Master by absorbing Tariq’s power.

“I guess it would be more comfortable to move alone.”

Even as he muttered like that, Kael did not leave Tariq’s side.
