Chapter 382 - Episode Twenty-Eight - Each One's Movement (1) (Side: Gizel)
“A-Abel-chan and Mea-chan have disappeared!?”
The day after Abel’s disappearance, Peter let out a strange scream when he heard about it from Euris at Lark’s residence.
“Ah, yes …… I also have a letter that seems to be from Abel-dono. Lark-sama has also told me that I should give this to Peter-sama.”
Euris held out the letter.
Peter stumbled on the spot, and his aide, Myunhi, quickly supported him.
“P-, Peter-sama, get a grip!”
“That bean sprout, you’ve done it in this complicated time ……! Is it possible that he doesn’t understand his own importance!? Or did he do this despite knowing it!? Is he stupid!”
Peter’s face turned red and he made a clenched fist.
Myunhi snatched the letter from Euris and unfolded the paper.
“I’ll read it out for you, Peter-sama.”
“I’m not a kid! Give it to me, Myunhi!”
Peter takes the letter from Myunhi and looks down at the paper.
In the letter from Abel, after a long and excuse-laden apology, he wrote that he would not be able to handle Count Julem, and that he would be hiding with Mea from the Doom tribe for a while.
“Ahhhhhh, do you know how much money I’ve invested in ……!”
Peter’s hands were shaking and trembling.
“Doesn’t he understand? Is he stupid!! If you leave Count Julem alone, you never know what he will do to you!! I’m trying so hard, but why does no one understands me! No matter where you try to run, it’s useless! Count Julem’s damage won’t be limited to the Dinrat Kingdom! Did he forgot that Count Julem has been trying to control the Riveras Kingdom with the fake Levi!”
Peter put his hands on his head and scratched his hair.
“Pe, Peter-sama ……”
When Myunhi called out to him, Peter stopped and looked down.
“…… When I think back, I’ve done a lot of bad things too. In the first place, Abel-chan told me that he wanted to leave this place for a while because of his hometown. At that time, I should have tried to find out his mood instead of denying it outright. I could have just faked it or sent him to a territory under my supervision.”
Peter exhaled a deep sigh.
“…… I also wanted Abel-chan to owe me something, so I made the mistake of checking on Mea-chan. It was a big mistake. It might have made him distrust me more. The fact that I tried to kill Abel-chan once before at the Kudor’s Cathedral must still be lingering in his mind”
“W-What should we do, Peter-sama ……?”
“…… We’ll have to find him and convince him somehow. God Kudor also said that the situation would be completely different with or without Abel-chan. For now, we’ll just have to offer the release of Penrath as a condition and see how Abel-chan reacts. Let’s play it down a bit. I’ve realized that I can’t use the whip against Abel-chan. If he really gets his way, no one will be able to stop him.”
At that moment, a small piece of paper fell out of the letter Peter was clutching.
It seemed to have been stuck on top of each other. There was a second letter.
“Pe-, Peter-sama, in there!”
Peter hurriedly picked up the second letter.
“In order for others to be able to activate the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl, I will write down here how to decipher the encrypted mobile magic formula it. However, since it is a weapon that could blow up a part of the country, I will avoid writing too much about it. Alta-san and Peter-san should be able to decipher the encrypted mobile magic formula engraved on the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl based on the rules described here.”
Peter’s expression softened slightly.
As long as we can move wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl, we can be prepared for any emergency.
When Peter once asked Abel, “Which is stronger, this or you?” he replied, “Of course it’s much stronger than me in the flesh”.
“I-, if we have that, it can be a force to be reckoned with! It’s Abel-sama’s masterpiece.”
Myunhi stretched her head from side to side to look at the letter and let out a sigh of relief.
However, Peter’s expression immediately clouded.
“What’s this code ……?”
At the end of the letter was a monstrous document filled with tightly packed symbols.
Even Peter, if he was not conscious of it, he’ll think that it was just a pattern on a letter.
However, from the flow of the letter, there was no doubt that this mysterious text, which could only be regarded as a harassment, was a method of deciphering the coded mobile magic formula of the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl.
“P-Peter-sama, can you understand ……? It seems to be written in a way that Altamir-sama or Peter-sama can understand it ……”
“Altamir! Go and get Artamir, Myunhi!”
The decision was immediate.
Peter looked at the symbols and understood that this was not something he could do anything about.
In other words, he could not understand anything else.
I didn’t have much hope for Altamir either, but I couldn’t not take any action.
“Ah, yes! However, if it’s Altamir-sama, it might be faster to call her using the magic cell phone Magiphone developed by Abel-sama.”
Myunhi takes out her Magiphone and presents it to Peter.
“You-, you’re right. I was so upset.”
Peter had received from Abel a prototype Magiphone, a magical cell phone, for communication within the territory.
Abel had explained to Peter that it was a special offer for investors, but in reality it was to increase the number of victims of the storm of phone calls and e-mails from Altamir and to distribute the response.
“Altamir, I need you at Lark’s mansion right now! Abel-chan has escaped from the Fage territory!”
He told Altamir as soon as he made the call.
There is a short silence, and then a voice that is much weaker than Altamir’s normal tone.
“Lo-, Lord Peltaire …… Abel, did he leave ……? N-No way ……”
“…… I understand you’ll be lonely, because you guys had a funny way of getting along. But it’s true. I want to take action, and I want to do it now ……”
“Even though I said we’d increase the number of units, expand the functions, and use the magic wave tower to communicate anywhere in the country!”
“…………”
Peter was taken aback by Altamir’s unexpected words.
“I can’t move anything without you! Leave your brain at least!”
Peter hung up the phone and held his head.
“Is the Dinrat Kingdom …… really going to be okay ……”
