The Guardian Knight of Affection-Starved Young Ladies

47 – The Young Master (05)

048.

“That is…”

Eyes spinning round and round.

When asked a difficult question, most people either lie calmly or.

They tend to avoid eye contact.

Those who have nothing to hide and are not good at lying to others usually do so.

In that sense, Sinat can be seen as a very honest and straightforward person.

Instead of lying to Kallen, he avoids eye contact and delays his answer.

“Uh, it’s difficult…”

But Kallen is just as puzzled.

If you ask whether the question posed to Sinat is ‘difficult’, there wouldn’t be many who could nod in agreement.

“Is it difficult to say what you were doing then?”

“…Kal! You shouldn’t interrogate people!”

Pretending to be stern.

Sinat, forgetting to stutter, pointed his index finger at Kallen.

“You said it was nothing at that time.”

“…”

The sight of him making a stern face with an innocent look could be said to be the ideal of many men, but.

Kallen is not the type to care about such things,

To resolve the forewarned danger to Sinat, it was something that had to be done.

Kallen clenched his index finger with his hand and lowered it.

“Tell me.”

In Kallen’s serious demeanor, Sinat couldn’t help but comply.

Lowering his head towards the hand that held his, Sinat whispered in a small voice.

“Spirit magic…”

It was after returning from Rakatus and before heading to Hiatt.

When Sinat hugged Kallen, there was a prickling sensation felt at the back of his neck.

At that time, Sinat brushed it off as nothing, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

“Spirit magic, you say?”

“Yes… Kallong attached a bit of mana to it.”

“Why?”

Flinch.

Sinat was momentarily taken aback, as if that single word was a verdict.

He quickly shut his mouth and was flustered.

“Ka, I was afraid Kall would get hurt.”

“Hurt?”

“Ugh…”

As if confessing a thoroughly hidden secret.

Sinat whispered with a face that was gradually turning red.

The explanation that came out was something that surprised Kallen.

Since he hadn’t reached the third rank, he couldn’t use full-fledged spirit magic,

But the spirit was the main entity.

In other words, it was said that spirit magic, which doesn’t really depend on the contractor’s ability, could be used.

Of course, its versatility and power couldn’t be compared, but it was possible to create a one-time magic shield.

That’s what Sinat’s words meant.

“You got hurt in Rakatus…”

At some point, Sinat placed his other hand over the one holding Kallen’s.

Holding Kallen’s hand tightly with both of his.

It was clear that she was telling the truth.

So.

Sinat was worried about Kalen, who had gone through a tough time in Lakatus.

He used spirit magic to create a kind of shield for him.

“Is it possible for second-tier magic to do that?”

Contract attribute magic can be said to be different from the other five system attributes.

It is not about using magic by oneself, but about receiving the spirit magic of the contracted spirit.

Therefore, it can be said to be unique,

But no matter how you look at it, it’s hard to believe that second-tier magic can do something so amazing.

Kalen knows this better than anyone.

Even with his already messed-up body, he used second-tier combat attribute magic.

It wasn’t something he did to die, but he didn’t hope to be safe either.

The thing that prevented such a situation was the shield that Sinat had created.

The fact that it was spirit magic was something Kalen found hard to accept.

“I don’t know either. Grandpa was very surprised at first too.”

Sinat said that the little spirit could use many other spirit magics as well.

Come to think of it, Sinat’s spirit is an extraordinary existence.

Even the great mage Blamia had never seen it before, only heard of it in ancient books.

Could it be because of that, even though it’s only second-tier, it can use such great magic?

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you… But I had no choice. I was afraid you would act more recklessly if I told you I did that.”

Blamia had also said it before.

Your body is still unstable, so take better care of it.

Sinat cherished those words more than Kalen himself.

Of course, when Kalen didn’t take care of his body, for some reason, he always ended up in life-threatening situations.

Life and wounds.

A choice that isn’t even worth weighing.

From noble mtl dot com

Even though Blamia had said those words,

Kalen couldn’t do anything about it on his own.

However, Kalen wasn’t the type to complain in front of someone who cared for him.

“…Thank you.”

“Yeah…”

I came to find out what had been done to the back of my neck, but I ended up learning something I never expected.

Even now, seeing Sinat’s state wriggling unnaturally, it seemed there was something left unsaid.

Whatever it was, Sinat had saved Kalen once.

Secrets have their reasons.

Sometimes, it might be better not to know.

Respecting Sinat’s feelings, Kalen decided to bury the yet unrevealed truth.

Having said this much, it seemed like the reason Sinat thought it was ‘dangerous’ was unrelated.

Above all, it might just be my own delusion.

“Alright. And don’t overdo it.”

Having found out everything he wanted to ask Sinat,

Kalen turned his body towards the next step.

He didn’t forget his concern for Sinat, who seemed to be overdoing it lately.

The place where Kalen left.

“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible, Kal.”

Sinat whispered, hugging his hands shyly with a smile.

In a voice that Kalen, who had disappeared far away, couldn’t hear.

*

Sinat reached out towards the third dimension.

While Blamia calmed his chaotic mind.

Kalen also began to come up with his own answer to the danger foretold by the spirit.

A short stick-like staff spins in the air.

In Kalen’s mind, unconsciously spinning the staff, only one fact remains.

It is certainly related to the spirit.

To delve a little deeper, it is related to the spirit called the lord.

And something related to the seal that the spirit guards.

For example, a monster or something like that.

No matter what possibilities and thoughts come to mind.

Nothing else comes to mind except that.

The danger foretold to Sinat.

The pattern engraved on the spirit’s back, probably highly related to that spirit.

For now, thinking that way was the best option,

and at the same time, it was an incredibly accurate thought.

The key was that the spirit of Sinat had chosen Kalen himself.

Why not Blamia, who was called the Great Mage, but himself?

What came to mind was the time before heading to Lakatus.

It was when Sinat tried to convey an apology to Blamia and break through the second dimension.

At that time, Sinat encountered an unknown monster in the spirit world.

It is an undeniable fact that he blocked it with his unique constitution and mental image.

A constitution and mental image different from others.

Blamia was superior to anyone else, but also the same as everyone else.

He was a person heading towards the end of a predetermined path.

On the other hand, Kalen was still at the beginning of the path.

But he could also be seen as a person heading towards the end of the path.

The path that no one has taken means that the first person to stand on it is the end.

Kalen was convinced that the reason the spirit had chosen him and informed him of the danger was there.

Was it because he engraved the pattern on his back and showed his mental image?

Although he did not yet know the specific dangers that would befall Sinat,

just this clue made him feel relieved.

It is better to know a little than to know nothing at all.

Kalen grabbed his staff and leaned back.

He would rather face a visible danger, no matter how huge it was.

Whether he killed the danger or threw himself to protect Sinat.

That was much more confident and comfortable for him.

He didn’t like that everyone was trembling in the face of unknown pain that could strike at any moment.

The initial Sinat, Eliana, and Selassia.

It was all difficult, but somehow, if they squeezed out all their strength, it was resolved.

Like this, drying up.

It means that the fear from the unknown did not choke them.

Sinat must have been exhausted both physically and mentally to inherit the position of head of the family.

In such a situation, could he protect Sinat safely?

It was like a question Kallen was asking himself.

In the end, it was like that.

Receiving grace from the old man and the lady of Dranus.

Heading to Rakatus and Hiato to repay that grace.

All for Sinat to properly inherit everything from Dranus.

This task is just part of that process.

Such a slight relief.

Although it wasn’t intentional, he saved Eliana and Selacia for the name of Dranus.

Sinat would also be with them,

But not as a pure and lively girl.

He just needed to save the lady named Sinat Dranus.

Thinking that way made him feel at ease.

Beyond the meaning of repaying grace.

Now, to protect those who have become precious to Kallen, and to repay the warmth they showed him.

Just repeating what he has done so far one more time.

The dark eyes looking at the delicate girl in the makeshift training ground.

They just sank low like that.

“Haa… Haa…”

The cabin is nice.

In very old memories, he lived in a very large house.

Now he knows that it was the mansion of the Dranus family.

But still, Sinat liked the cabin.

Because there was a grandfather who loved him.

And he liked the bed in his room, much cozier and snug than something unnecessarily large.

One day, a very, very wonderful man named Kallen came, a friend.

After saving him, he liked it even more.

Getting to know Kallen was even better.

So at one time, he thought it wouldn’t be bad to live in this cabin forever.

Actually, it seemed that his grandfather’s thoughts weren’t that different.

However, opportunities come without warning.

A proposal from Lakatus.

Everything started from that.

Kallen cares for others but neglects himself.

When that repeated, I think I made up my mind.

With the old memories of my grandfather, parents, and brother together.

I wanted to bring the boy named Kallen closer.

Of course, I know that’s not possible.

But somehow, I felt that this boy might do it.

So I hurried.

Honestly, it’s embarrassing, but studying magic was boring and difficult.

But I’m not a fool, so I know that I have to work even harder because I let it go.

The growing impatience stemmed from there.

Even this time, I can tell.

If it weren’t for the mana of the Kalryong I attached for surveillance, it would have been a disaster.

So before Kallen neglects himself and gets seriously hurt someday.

To the happy times.

To the dreams that can no longer be dreamed.

To trap him in my own dream.

Hoping we can be happy together.

The indigo eyes beautifully illuminated by the moonlight.

Sinat tried to study magic again today, reducing sleep.

At the moment of raising mana to bring Kalryong from the spirit world.

-Creak.

The wooden chair Sinat was leaning on fell with an ominous sound.

Another sound occurred simultaneously.

-Thud.

The girl, whose vision darkened,

Fell along with the wooden chair.
