The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 138

Chapter 138: The Illusory Clan

Beneath the hat was a girl with black hair and brown skin. Amber-colored eyes shone in her still youthful face as they caught my gaze.

“…Who are you?”

I asked, ready to draw my weapon at any moment without putting my hand on the sword at my waist. In response, the bow carried by the girl faintly glowed.

“Please calm down. We have no hostile intentions toward you.”

Another voice besides the girl’s spoke up. Aria and the others were on guard, but Ruskdite released a small flame to calm them down.

“Ruskdite?”

“Calm down, Aria. That girl seems to have a similar relationship to us.”

With mutual restraint and being in the town, we relaxed our guard just a little. Then, the voice spoke again.

“The owner of the Chaos Crusader, I have something to discuss with you.”

“Discuss?”

“Lowd Solitas. There is someone who knows why he appeared in this era.”

“What!?”

“I’d like to discuss that and more. Could we talk in a more relaxed place?”

“…Fine.”

I hesitated for a moment, then took the girl with me to the inn.

—

When we reached the room, the girl sat on the bed without hesitation. Then, the voice from earlier spoke again.

“Let’s start with introductions. Although the girl over there seems to be visible to you.”

Immediately, the bow carried by the girl began to glow faintly and untied itself, revealing a human-sized eagle behind her. Covered in feathers and with plants and trees growing all over its body like feathers and horns, it was a beautiful eagle as if created by an artist.

“I’m Eir Seed, and this is…”

“…Shurin.”

The girl murmured and took off her hat. Although taken aback by her long pointed ears visible through the gaps in her casually flowing hair, we introduced ourselves.

“I’m Berg.”

“I’m Aria, and this is Ruskdite.”

“I’m Serena, and this is Truutier.”

“…It’s surprising to see our kin gathered like this.”

“I agree. I had long thought that the Illusory Clan had been extinct.”

At Eir Seed’s murmur, Ruskdite looked at Shurin with her chin resting on her hand.

“Illusory Clan… Are you an elf after all?”

Elves were said to be a legendary race that existed in ancient times, possessing vast magical power and superior senses, and were believed to be immortal.

“The Shurin clan is called so. I don’t know what happened to the other clans besides her…”

“Don’t know?”

“Both Shurin and I were sealed away for a long time and woke up about ten years ago.”

“Sealed away…”

“Our situation, Lowd Solitas’s situation, and the fact that we were looking for you… The story will be long, but is it alright?”

“I don’t mind. More information is always better.”

As I answered, Eir Seed nodded slightly and began to speak.

“We want you to meet someone. That person is the one who awakened us… and the one who sealed Lowd Solitas.”
