Flillian, I want to live.

Phelan replied with a smile.

Chapter 52: Mom is the best in the world

After resting for a few days, the group, having prepared all the supplies, set out on their journey again.

Following the winding path along the mountain stream, this time, Fulilian chose a somewhat remote mountain village as her destination.

"Lady Fulilian always chooses some bizarre places as her travel destinations," Fearon reached out and stroked the silver hair ornament Fulilian had chosen for her at the jewelry store. "Is she collecting some strange magic this time?"

"Well, not this time."

Fulilian turned her head and looked at Philen who was standing beside her.

"Come to think of it, wasn't our original goal to visit the last member of the Brave Squad, Warrior Mr. Aize?"

Gutel, who was standing on the other side of Philen, glanced at Fulilian and spoke in a somewhat sarcastic voice.

"But because someone is always attracted to strange magic, we are only halfway there now."

"If you are not satisfied, you don't have to travel with us."

Fulilian smiled disdainfully and replied with a look of disgust.

"What do you mean by you? Leave Philen to me now, and you can go wherever you want by yourself!"

Guter turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Fulilian.

"Feren is the disciple that Haita personally entrusted to me. Of course he has to follow me."

Flillian replied nonchalantly.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

Philen stretched out his hands helplessly, holding down Gutel and Fulilian's heads one by one, and trying to smooth things over.

"Cut~"

"Humph~"

The two people whose heads were held down turned their heads to the sides in dissatisfaction, like quarreling children.

"Ugh……"

Seeing these two old guys who were getting worse and worse, Philen couldn't help but show a melancholy expression on his face.

Although I was the one who was taken care of in the team at the beginning of the trip, as time went on, the two guys' lazy nature gradually exposed themselves. Unknowingly, not only did the work of waking people up, cooking, and changing clothes every morning fall on me, but I also had to act as a peacemaker from time to time to reconcile conflicts like before.

How on earth did these two guys manage to live for over a thousand years?

Philen couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands holding down Gutel and Fulilian.

"Ouch, Philen, are you angry?"

Feeling the strength in Philen's hand, Gutel raised his head and looked at Philen, who had a melancholy look on his face.

"Ah, sorry..."

Philen quickly released his hands from holding the two men down.

"Well……"

Gutel held his chin with his hand, staring at Philen closely as if he had discovered a blind spot.

"Is there something on my face, Master Guter?"

Philen touched his cheek with his hand and asked with some concern.

"I didn't even notice that you, Philen, are taller than me and Fulilian."

Gutel was a little surprised at how fast Philen grew. After all, when he was in the royal capital, Philen was about the same height as her, but now, he was much taller than Fulilian.

"After all, I'm already sixteen years old," Fieren, who had just celebrated her birthday, felt inexplicably proud upon hearing this. "I'm a big sister now~"

"big sister……"

Gutel looked at Philen's straight chest, then turned his gaze to Flillian's chest on the other side, which was as smooth as a steel plate.

"She's really a big sister."

Guter nodded in approval.

"kill you."

Noticing Gutel's gaze, Frielian calmly uttered the harsh words.

"Even though we eat the same thing, is this really all you'll ever do in your life? Fulilian~"

Not paying any attention to the death declaration issued by Frillian, Gutel continued to attack Frillian with a smile.

"Then you are not as good as me?"

Fulilian turned her head and looked at Gutel Road, which was as flat as an airport.

"Demons will stop growing at a certain point. Their juvenile bodies are just a disguise to protect their survival~"

Guter replied with a sneer.

"Oh, doesn't that mean you're hopeless? At least I'm still firmly in favor of growing up..."

Fulilian retorted with bared teeth.

"Ah...alright, alright, you two, stop arguing..."

Philen once again placed his hands on the heads of the two people who were arguing.

Sure enough, my self-awareness just now was not wrong.

Philen looked at the two people who had deceived their minds out of anger again, and thought secretly in his heart.

I'm more than just a big sister now, I'm actually a single mother with two naughty kids...

Twenty-seven years after the death of the brave Sinmeier.

Central Kingdoms, Glazer Forest.

“Ah, ah…don’t…”

A group of uninvited guests arrived in the originally peaceful mountain village.

Even the strongest blacksmith in the village could not withstand a single round from the opponent.

Although his opponent was just a short and cute loli girl with twin tails.

But with the giant axe she wielded, no one could be her match.

"Tell me, where is the seal?"

The pink-haired girl expressionlessly placed the giant axe in her hand across the neck of the blacksmith who had just been knocked down by her, and coldly asked the same question she had been repeating to everyone since she entered the village.

"Seal, what seal..."

The blacksmith shook his head tremblingly, not because he wanted to keep his mouth shut, but because he had never heard of the seal.

"..."

The girl slowly swung the axe.

"Please wait a moment."

Just when the blacksmith was about to become a ghost under the girl's axe, an old voice suddenly sounded among the terrified villagers.

"Ok?"

The girl stopped the battle axe in her hand and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Among the crowd that automatically parted, a hunchbacked old man with his hands behind his back slowly walked out.

"Ahem..." As the oldest man in the village, he looked up at the pink-haired girl with horns on her head and said, "I think you are looking for the place where the great demon Guval is sealed?"

"Do you know where his seal is?"

The girl put away the giant axe formed by magic power in her hand and stared at the hunchbacked old man wearing a straw hat.

"If I take you and your companions somewhere, can you spare the villagers here?"

The old man turned his head and looked at the man in black clothes and sunglasses who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded as if watching a show behind the girl, and several mercenaries with fierce faces standing beside him.

"My mission is to find the seal as quickly as possible. Killing you is not a necessary condition."

The girl opened her mouth and replied coldly.

"Then please come with me."

The old man turned his back and walked slowly into a mountain road covered by bushes.

Chapter 53: Never Trust Party B’s Plan B

On a cliff covered with lush weeds, stands a half-kneeling stone statue.

Unlike the big demon like Gutel who is close to and imitates the appearance of humans, the demon in front of him obviously retains an appearance closer to that of a monster, and seems to be disdainful of using disguise to protect himself.

"The corrupt sage Guval was a great demon who wreaked havoc on this land eighty years ago, committing all manner of evil. It wasn't until the brave Lord Xinmeier and his group arrived here that he was sealed away."

The hunchbacked old man who brought the few people here stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the eyes of the stone statue that was looking down at him with a proud attitude, and slowly explained to them the other's origins.

"It's bigger than I thought."

The man in sunglasses who had stopped Gutel at the beach in the trading city of Barum walked to the bottom of Guval's stone statue with his hands on his hips, raised his head and looked at the huge body of the demon in front of him.

"Hey, boss, this is different from what you said before."

The mercenaries' complaints could be heard from behind the man.

"Ms. Linie, they're right. A statue this big wouldn't be possible to carry with just a few of us."

The man pushed up his sunglasses, then turned his head and looked at the silent demon girl beside him.

"The additional commission has been paid to you. Do you want to cancel the contract?"

The demon girl named Linie turned her face away and replied coldly.

"How can you say that? I'm paid to do things, but that's my principle. Since I promised your boss, Ms. Aura, I will naturally help her complete the commission."

The man lowered his head, revealing his eyes from under the sunglasses that slid down his nose, and looked at Linie beside him with a bit of grievance.

"Then take him to Master Aura."

Linie opened her mouth and repeated the purpose of their coming here this time.

"At this point, the original plan is naturally not feasible, but I have a plan B. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"

The man scratched his hair, which was as messy as a hedgehog, and said to Line with a smile.

“Plan B?”

Line blinked, a puzzled expression on her face.

"That's right. Although it might be difficult for us to transport the statue directly, but..."

The man stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone statue in front of him, as if sensing something.

"But what?"

Linie tilted her head and asked the man.

"However, if my feeling is correct, after eighty years, the seal here has become quite unstable. Even if we don't come, this guy will be able to break free from the seal on his own."

The man analyzed the seal that the hero and his companions had placed on Guval.

"so what?"

Linie then asked.

"It's simple. Although the statue can't be transported, what if I tell him I can remove the seal on it and let him find your Miss Aura on his own?"

The man smiled and expressed his thoughts.

"Well... it's not impossible."

Linie closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with the man's workaround.

"Then it's better to do it today~"

After receiving Linie's approval, the man activated his magic power without delay.
