The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 164



Back to Adenia (2)

“No, what’s going on with this quest….”

When I saw the notification window, I couldn’t help but mutter with a frown on my face.

“There is no such thing as a middle ground?”

It was ridiculous. No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. If I fail, all life will be lost.

“This fucking….”

Isn’t this just too much?

If it were a quest I know, then I wouldn’t know, but how could I clear this quest that is shrouded in mystery and doesn’t even give a single hint? Since all life is lost, I can’t not clear it.

I couldn’t contain my despair and absurdity, so I had to sit there and whine for a while.

Was it strange that I looked like that?

[Dad, why are you just sitting there all alone and muttering in frustration instead of going?]

The tweet in my arms poked its head out and asked with a curious look.

“···It’s nothing.”

From noble mtl dot com

Feeling momentarily embarrassed, I decided once again that I would one day teach this little bird some manners and consideration, and started riding again.

That’s what it was.

[Dad, aren’t we going south? It seems like it’s getting colder.]

Tweety asked me a question out of the blue, and I was in a bad mood so I answered curtly.

“So, should we go south or north?”

You stupid bird. Isn’t it common sense that the spring breeze is cold?

****

After riding for two days towards Adenia in the south, we arrived at the outskirts of a city where we could feel the presence of people for the first time in a long while.

The cityscape seen from outside was a landscape I had never seen on my journey with the pilgrims, and this was natural.

Because, the journey with the pilgrims took many detours to stop at major cities, and the route I had chosen now was a kind of shortcut that led directly to Athens.

‘I’ve been riding a horse for two days…’

If my guess is correct, this city should be a warm city named Airen.

That’s what it was.

“Welcome to Eustace, the gateway to the North and the city where the cold winds begin.”

No it wasn’t.

[Dad, is this a real person?]

What the fuck.

****

Since I needed to rest for a while, I entered the city and booked a room at the most expensive looking hotel, and lay on the bed, lost in thought.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t understand it.

“No, I clearly came out through the south gate···.”

How did you manage to get north?

As I sighed deeply and lamented, Tweety, who was sitting on the chair in a polymorphed form of a girl, laughed out loud and said.

“My dad is tall and has a lot of heights.”

“···.”

A sharp assault of facts from the birds, like a knife being stabbed into the heart.

I was so upset that I regretted something I hadn’t done in a long time. What on earth was going on in my head at that time that I ended up rescuing that annoying bird with only a mouth and suffering this humiliation?

I was just thinking about why I brought him here.

“for a moment.”

Realizing that I hadn’t just saved him, but had brought him here because I really needed him, I jumped up and grabbed Twit’s shoulders.

“Tweet, can you grow up?”

“huh?”

What if Tweety could just fly away carrying me like a monster in a game?

It was a very possible story. Because Twit was a spirit being, and he had been harvested for quite some time, and he was learning magic from time to time, and he was also eating excessive amounts of food.

As expected.

“Can it grow? Very big.”

“huh!”

In response to my question, Tweetie shrugged his shoulders confidently and began to use his polymorph magic.

“Ohh···!”

Was the spirit really a spirit? I felt my heart pounding as I watched the flow of mana and the coordinated movements of the magic circuits, which were different from those of humans.

Paat.

A splendid light suddenly burst out. I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them with great anticipation.

“···.”

The tweets in my field of vision had really changed a lot, and had really grown in size.

“how is it?”

“···.”

“Mommy, your heart has grown so much!”

Only certain areas.

“Tweet.”

“yes?”

“Come here.”

“yes!”

Exactly!

I lost my patience and ended up having to hit the little tweeter on the head with a hammer.

****

Late at night when the moon is deep.

[I hate you, Dad… You always tweet at me with harassing tweets…]

I was walking towards the inn’s stables, carrying a warty bluebird on my shoulder that was chattering nonstop.

Why did you come out instead of sleeping?

Just before falling asleep, a thought suddenly occurred to me that I could drastically reduce the time it would take to return to Adenia.

‘Wouldn’t it work?’

The method I remembered was the 9th circle magic ‘Teleport’ that the Master used.

It was a magic I could not have even dreamed of before, and in fact, I had erased it from my mind.

It was worth it. The complex magical formula for teleportation was impossible to understand for anyone with a basic understanding of magic, and it also required an amount of mana that was beyond common sense.

but.

‘It’s me.’

It wasn’t me. Thanks to my Celestial Eye, I had already understood the complex magical formula for teleportation that the Master used.

However, I just couldn’t make up my mind because I didn’t have enough mana.

But, come to think of it, I was currently in a situation where I could use the mana-boosting technique called Mana Burn to its extreme.

[Dad, where are we going now?]

“Where we started.”

To be precise, in front of the southern gate of Eltican, the capital of the Elders Kingdom.

I would have liked to go all the way to Adenia in one go, but no matter how much I used my Mana Burn, I knew I would not have enough Mana to do that.

‘Above all···.’

The only southernmost coordinate that remains in my head is in front of the southern gate of Eltican. That’s because I had memorized the coordinates by looking at the map before leaving. Well, I hadn’t looked at any other coordinates before that.

As I was walking, lost in thought, I arrived at the stable before I knew it.

Ugh, ugh.

The pure white horse, Seraphi, which had been given as a gift by the Pope, was eating feed voraciously even though it was late at night.

[Something like a carnivore is gathering food even at night.]

“···Isn’t that something you should be saying, when you were sniffling and munching on cheese jerky just a moment ago?”

When I asked with a glare, Twit answered in a haughty voice and turned his head to the side as if he was upset.

[I’m a daughter and she’s the one talking!]

“···.”

As I was looking at that sight, I thought to myself.

Is that a plausible answer?

“Okay, let’s give it a try.”

Whatever. I started to raise my mana and use my mana burn to the limit.

The inflated mana took shape one by one into magical circuits in accordance with my will. The hundreds of circuits that took shape began to intertwine and intertwine with each other.

‘This is better than I thought.’

It’s really tough.

Perhaps because I was handling a huge amount of mana, cold sweat was running down my forehead and all over my body, and my arms and legs were starting to tremble a little.

“···!”

I completed all the magic formulas on the verge of exhaustion and shouted the starting words with a shiver.

“Teleport.”

Pee-pee!

At the same time, me, Twitter, and Seraphi were engulfed in a bright pillar of light.

****

Today is the fourth day since I started riding nonstop from the southern gate of Eltican.

“at las···!”

Seeing the lovely scenery of Adenia for the first time in a long time, I shivered and trembled at the thought that I could finally rest.

“We’ve arrived!”

Even after successfully using the teleport, I went west on the four-way path I arrived at and got eaten by a bird,

If you fall off the saddle and eat mud,

Although there were some minor hardships here and there, it arrived on the scheduled date anyway, so it was only natural that my heart was filled with excitement.

“Thank you for your hard work!”

I stroked Seraphi’s forehead and praised her for her hard work.

Seraphi was a friend who deserved this kind of treatment from me. Because, this friend ran without rest for four days without sleeping a wink.

To be honest, I did feel a little sorry, but that doesn’t mean I just made them work too hard.

I, a good person, did my best to take care of Seraphi. While eating dry food on the saddle, I occasionally gave her acceleration and strengthening magic, and even when she dozed off on the saddle, I cast awakening magic just in case she collapsed.

I wonder if he was touched by my consideration.

Dad, you should just kill me.

Seraphi had conveyed to me through her tweets her determination to be immortal even in death, and I was so moved by her determination that I had no choice but to provide Seraphi with more food and various magics than usual.

“Okay, let’s go for now.”

Late at night, I was momentarily moved by the view of Adenia, and then I started walking.

Because I was away for a long time.

First, I was going to go to Malik’s cabin and ask him if anything had happened and if he knew anything about the old contract.

“Then I’ll have to get a really good night’s sleep in the dorm.”

I missed my warm, fluffy bed.
