From No Body To Hero
Episode 27's

"Wow!!!"

Everyone looked delighted after seeing the sea before their eyes. The breeze blowing through their hair and clothes. The salty aroma also helped calm their minds.

"What if we see your house first?"

Kleio said that when he was wearing an ordinary white shirt and straw hat that many people always wear on the beach.

"Yes, let's see your house first!"

Anton looks excited. They all agreed to stay in their new home.

****

"......"

Bern was speechless at how big the house looked to him like a luxurious villa from a month of modest homes.

"Leo, this is no simple house...."

Bern said it made everyone hold back their laughter.

"No, it's simple from the corner of my eye. I'm sorry, I grew up in the palace, so I'm a little confused by the simple you mean."

Bern stopped arguing with just one argument. There was nothing he could do if Kleio wanted to do it. In the end, Kleio was still his boss.

"So, where's my room? And who's going to finance all the employees here?"

Bern asked and Kleio smiled.

"I pay them. The employees here are all homeless people who have no direction to go. So suppose I'm trying to help them with a place to live."

If so, Bern had no right or reason to refuse. There is no need to reject someone if they intend to help others.

They were sent to their rooms and packed their things. They'll all be there for 2 weeks.

.

"Leo, are you sure to stay here?"

Bern asked with worry.

"Don't you like me being here?"

Bern shook.

"I'm not calm to see that 10 out of 15 bags you carry are paper work."

Kleio laughed mockingly at Bern's concern. 5 of them belonged to Uen, so his was also only 5. Only Zion rejects the right of inheritance in light of which there is no work.

"Uen said he'd be here any minute. So half of this paper is his work. You don't have to worry."

Kleio said that casually. But there was no one in the room who could consider it trivial at all.

'That's still 5 big bags.'

They were more willing to fight with demonic beasts than to do all that work.

"Do we need help?"

Anton asked in a joking tone. Where could he possibly want to do that even if he was the heir to the Baron family.

"Wanna try?"

Kleio said that and provided documents on the month's earnings in terms of debt repayment, investments and so on.

Alastair took that and looked at it with Althea who was on his shoulders.

{What the hell is this? I don't understand at all.}

["Let's not underestimate the crown prince's future ability."]

Both gave in within seconds.

Steven who saw the numbers just turned away as if he was not interested.

Anton easily said the numbers and income were also the loss rate that was almost achieved that month.

"You really have the blood of a merchant."

Kleio praises Anton and Anton just raising his nose looking at Steven as if he won. Steven looked at her with an annoyed face.

Bern is not interested in doing such a job. So he just kept quiet to see them all having fun.

****

"Vivacious..... The south coast is the place with the best views!"

Zion said that cheerfully. He still did not change even after a month of not meeting. Uen and Zion take another class for a month where they are in private classes until they have no time to see each other.

The third queen also did not allow Zion to go somewhere without Uen by her side. Uen is also a very busy man to make Zion overwhelmed want to where other than the palace.

"Hey, there's a pretty girl there."

Anton says that and Steven is certainly moving forward. As a man, flirting with a beautiful woman is natural.

"Me too...."

Zion was arrested by Uen.

"The common people are not on par with you. All you can tempt is a girl from a noble family."

Zion showed a rejection of that expression.

"The girl from the noble family is not attractive! They're all so cold!"

Uen massaged the trunk of his nose.

"You don't even give them a chance to talk to you when you admire Bern too much. You even bought all the games related to him and even paid a fortune just to make a doll that looked so much like him."

Everyone stared at Zion in disbelief.

"What's wrong with admiring him? She's a witch just like me. He also saved our lives in the black rain forest!"

It seems Zion's admiration for Bern can't be contained anymore. Bern smiled and patted Zion's head gently.

"Amagine it can, but you have to find your own way and don't compare yourself to others. Be yourself that you can be proud of in the future."

Zion looked pleased with that simple touch. For them, touching Bern without any need to be very tight, what else Bern touched them.

They always kept their distance between Bern as he always sat at a fixed distance. Not too close, not too far. It makes them not calm to touch it.

That was also the reason Althea more often sat on Alastair's shoulders than the owner.

Anton and Steven go teasing some beautiful looking women and girls and come home disappointed.

"Bern, what if you're flirting with someone?"

Bern quickly shook his head showing his unwillingness.

{Bern can't do that! He is a holy man! Don't fuck her with that fucking j*lang woman!}

Alastair nodded in agreement to that and Bern only smiled wryly there. He had no intention of building a romantic story when he was 40. It's not good to be with a young girl when she's very old.

"Are you still a man? You're not interested in something like this."

Bern quickly turned away from them avoiding the subject of the conversation.

****

Bern sits leisurely by the beach with Alastair, whose head sits on Althea, watching Anton, Steven and Zion search for shells in the receding sea water.

Although unlike the beaches of his former world where many people take a relaxing bath, it is still fun.

"Aah.... This is not fun.... Why are there no shells at all?"

Anton complained while sitting next to Bern.

"I just found a rock."

Zion sitting in front of Bern looked weary.

"I want to flip this whole beach!"

Steven angrily began digging in the sand while being observed by Alastair and Althea who were curious about his actions.

"Of course you can't find him. The south coast is in a food shortage crisis."

Krakum!!!

Those who were looking for the clams felt that lightning had struck their brains and wanted to throw Kleio into the sea.

"Why didn't Brother Leio say it from the beginning!?"

Zion looked annoyed at Kleio.

"You didn't ask."

They could only be patient with the behavior of those two arrogant people.

"This beach looks fine, so why is there a food shortage crisis?"

Bern asked and Kleio nodded in agreement with his observation.

"Actually this is still a mystery. No one knows why fish and all food sources from the sea are disappearing. Even plants such as vegetables withered and livestock one by one died of unknown plague."

Bern began to find awkwardness in all of those things.

"Aren't there supposed to be nobles who will be sent to investigate this?"

Anton asked and Kleio nodded.

"The "noble responsible for this was none other than the western region's noble. The southern population asked for help in the western region because most of the nobles in the southern region were subject to the nobles in the western region. And the one who was sent was none other than Ailen Theor."

Steven pounded the sand after hearing that.

"Don't that mean those nobles want to remove Ailen from his position?"

Uen nodded in agreement at Steven's assessment. How genius Pon Ailen, carrying out such a mysterious task like this was a bad thing.

"Western nobles are really sneaky."

Anton and Zion can only curse. There was nothing they could do to help him.

"This is also beyond our power as princes. We're too young to solve a mystery like this."

Uen complained when he saw some complaints from the locals that sounded unreasonable.

"Geek!!!"

Bern suddenly groaned in pain and everyone gasped to solve the topic.

["Sister! What's going on!?"]

Alastair frantically asked Althea when supporting Bern who was curled forward.

{Ah, has he ever lost his grimoire?}

Alastair heard it asking the same thing to the others. Quickly, they nodded.

{This happened because the grimoire wanted to tell its owner that he was nearby. Grimoires is a book of life and death witches where can only get one grimoire during his life.}

Bern's eyes started to darken hearing that. But he immediately took away his anger. There was no point getting angry when that person was not in front of him.

Soon, the pain disappeared and Bern stood up.

"It seems a mystery this time has something to do with Satan's organization."

Everyone's face turned dark. There's no readyapon in there unless Althea doesn't know the organization. But hearing how Alastair was in control, Althea knew how bad the organization was.

"My grimoire was taken by the witch who controls you."

Bern tells Alastair at the beginning so he doesn't lose control later.

Alastair's anger got bigger hearing that. The one who killed his friend, he won't be able to forget it.

Pat's.

Bern patted Alastair's head gently.

"Control your anger. Anger will only be useless. Don't lose something valuable again just because you control your anger."

Alastair heard it carefully and tried to control himself.

['Right, I can't let anger control me.']

Bern smiled and patted his head once more before stepping forward.

"[The vibration across the ocean, sound is communication.]"

A white mana surrounded Bern as if he was dancing and opened a screen in front of him. It shocked Aalstair and Althea who did not know Bern could control mana without a magic wand.

It is still fascinating even though others have seen it many times.

It was seen that people were passing by for a moment before the person in the brown robe appeared. That person was Ailen who was trying to cover her silver hair.

Ailen flinched looking at the screen and was instantly serious because Bern would not do something like summoning her with magic just for fun.

-"What do you want?"

Ailen asked without a stale base.

"Can we meet? It's about the job you're doing."

Ailen gasped at hearing that.

-"What does it have to do with my job that I have to see you?"

Ailen looks alert. Of course, a friend could be the one to stab him if he is not careful.

"Of course it has something to do with me. I have to get my grimoire back."

Only with that, Ailen knew that his duty had something to do with Satan's organization.

-"Where?"

The call was over and Ailen walked in with lighter steps. He felt everything would be fine after hearing Bern would help him.

'This will be a difficult mission.'
