"Noel was indeed a great wizard, but at the same time a crumb of truth. First of all, I don't even think of people as people. I only see everything as my own magical experimental material. I think you can see that from what Noel said earlier. '
"Hey! I hope you don't put yourself in front of me and tell me about the crumbs of truth or something!
"Shut up, crumbs."
Noel's appeal, Noir withdrew with absolute zero gaze and words. Noel makes a face that he is openly grumpy.
……
Speaking of which, Noel said earlier that people and spirits are no different from 'lizards', something like that. I guess everything is in the same row for him, who is High Elf.
'Noel killed too much. I used my best friend as an experimental material, and I killed my fellow countrymen like mountains for my own experiments. If we keep our hands around this, there will be more sacrifices. The Spirit King turned Noel into a cat that no one could see, and let him go into the field. Yet how could the Lord have picked up Noel? Noel has the curse of the Spirit King. Normally, it can't happen if you're willing to pick it up. "
"In fact, I'm dying. No, I can't use magic, and everyone came without noticing me. I've managed to survive, but just when I wondered if I was going to die, it was Goshzinsama. You picked me up a lot, didn't you? I was frightened when they told me I could throw stones at you again."
"... I don't have a choice not to pick it up because I'm a scrupulous worker. The kitten is suffering. That fact was enough for me. I thought I could get away with it, but I'm glad I could protect it as a result."
Everyone's gaze pours down on me. Speaking honestly while feeling unhappy, Al stroked my back softly to relax.
"Lili is a very good girl. He's my wife's kid, so it's obvious."
"I can't believe you're a good girl..."
I just acted normal. It's not like I can be praised on purpose.
Said Noir with a sinister face.
"When the Lord first attempted the Spirit covenant, he said that the invoked Spirit wondered if he would die of surprise. There's Noel for some reason. There's Noel, who should have suffered and died out of pain. If they are found, they will be captured and turned into experimental material. Because of that fear, I refused to make a covenant with the Lord. Though he has always cared for the Lord that he was sorry to have fled even though he had responded. I can't deal with Noel when he's nearby as an intermediate spirit. Even advanced spirits can be difficult. In fact, in the summons that was there again, I ended up frightened by Noel's signs and no one tried to go. So I raised my hand when I went. I have an unparalleled grudge against Noel. Strong power, too. The deal was to see how Noel was doing. Fortunately, there was no sign of Noel at my time. I could have done the contract without any problems'
"You knew what was going on right away."
"Sasha"
Noir returned the affirmation to Al's words.
Noel complains about the noir he was listening to.
"See what happens," he said. You attacked me first. "
In contrast, Noir replied with a spiral of laughter.
"The moment I saw you, I felt an uncontrollable intention to kill you. Didn't you die for it? Let's just say I'm lucky I'm unhappy, I haven't broken the curse I put on you. Stay put for five more years, and if you can't break the curse, you'll just be a cat. The grudge of our spirits is good."
Yes, and Al raises his hand. I made sure everyone's gaze gathered and opened my mouth.
"Question. How could you not have killed Noel? If you resent me so much, why don't you torture me and kill me?
"A, Al?
I was afraid Al would make me look serious and strange. But Noir seems to agree, nodding loudly.
'I thought that would be better, too. Of course, that's not as good as clearing up our grudges, but it's not bad that this man will cease to exist in the world. But you saw it earlier. - This man is specific. Absorbs the magic of others and can be his own. It's not compatible with our spirits, whose fundamentals are magic attacks.'
Make a face like Al convinced.
"You mean you can't kill them with a normal magic attack? So, you chose to curse, huh?
'That's right. The Spirits attacked, and the Spirit King cursed him by poking at the gap where he was absorbing his magic. Noel tried to absorb the magic, but the Spirit King was one step faster. No matter how much Noel can do that if there is a curse. Noel became a cat and was banished.'
Noir whispers that the explanation is over.
I somehow shifted my gaze to Noel. Noel is as excited as a cat to open his mouth and stretch. After I find out who I am, I don't get the feeling that I'm cute. I don't know, I couldn't help but come up with the word bruise.
Notice my gaze, Noel turns this way.
"Hmm? Oh, are we done talking? So, Goshzinsama, shall we go home to the mansion? I'm hungry. It's time for dinner."
"Noel! You, you're still going to say something about Lili's mansion while they know who you are!
Al stares at Noel. Noel shook his tail.
"Of course ~. Because that mansion is cozy. They're all sweet on me. I can get magic from Goshzinsama, and I wonder if there's any reason to leave."
"In the first place, why did you start talking to the perky? A cat is like a cat, and you can keep it ringing as you've always done."
"That's why you would have done that, right? In fact, at first I was too conscious as a cat to completely forget who I was. But you can put magic into a song called Goshzinsama, right? Thanks to that, I got my memories back one by one. Absorb zero magic. When I went to the orphanage, I was really thankful that they would definitely sing. Perfectly restored my memory, I guess, when Goshzinsama let the magic run wild. I got plenty of magic then. Hey, hey, I've always been safe and alive. I wonder if I'm lucky."
"I wish I had died."
The noir that's been pinching my mouth is too noisy.
But what Noel remembered a lot was that if they told me it was that magical outburst of mine in the end, I couldn't say anything. Because if Noel hadn't absorbed the magic then, he might have halved the mansion, and most importantly, injured Al. I still appreciate that you prevented it, and so I couldn't deny Noel in that sense.
Shut up, Al shook my hand.
"Lili. Now that you know who Noel is, you're not telling me to take him home. You seem to have recovered to the point where you can talk, and then you can live alone."
"What... but"
I understood that the man I saw earlier was Noel's identity, but now I can't leave him alone looking like a cat. And Noel is the cat in our mansion. I also said to my father, mother and brother, 'I will not abandon you' and 'Helping is not a temporary thing'. I wonder if I should withdraw the foreword.
"I... will take Noel home. You can't be irresponsible."
"Lili, are you insane? Noel's not a cat, is he? A fine adult male. I absolutely don't like my own fiancée living with strange men."
Change your complexion Al. Noel said relaxing as he jumped on my lap.
"I love women, but I'm not interested in Goshzinsama, so don't worry. You're just too young to move your forefinger."
You think I believe your words?
Al relentlessly threw Noel off my lap. After Noel rolled around corny, he woke up bodily, boy, and said boo-boo to Al.
"Uh, 'cause I'm serious about it right now without Goshzinsama's asylum. I can't breathe magic, and if my magic keeps diminishing, I'll just go back to being a cat again. I want to avoid that, so I won't do anything extra."
"I guess it would be more peaceful to go back to the cat."
'Everyone would be happy if you stayed dead. I agree. "
Al and Noir are in consignment. Noel distorted his face disgustingly.
"You've created an awfully nasty tag. But the truth is, it's Goshzinsama who keeps me, not you guys. Hey, Goshzinsama. You're not gonna abandon me, are you? Nah."
……
I sighed as I bruised. The conclusion is already drawn. I wasn't willing to change that. I held Noel up and bowed my head toward Al.
"Al, I'm sorry. I'm taking Noel home."
"Lili!"
"It's not like I've been bonded or anything.... just because my brothers will be sad too when Noel is gone. And when I think about it, I, Noel, have helped me twice before. When you run away from a broken door and when you have a magic rampage. You can't do it without it."
"When you run away from a broken door, you mean that time?
Let Al, who tells you to be surprised, snort.
Yes, I've been helped twice by Noel. And maybe it's not a coincidence. Probably generous and helpful. Once I realized that, I couldn't listen to Al or Noir.
"Yes. When I was already caught, Noel rang... and then all the men that came after me fell like they were stuck in something. Now that I think about it, Noel helped me."
"Oh, that one. Yeah, yeah. I used a little accumulated magic to do that. That said, I couldn't do much, but, well, I'm glad they helped Goshzinsama."
Noel agrees with all of us here.
Al looked subtle when he found out I was helped by Noel.
"... yes, what"
