The Necromancers
Ch. 25:New Members

Hmmmm...

Upon awakening, Regard saw that he had been in the chariot.

In the car, his friends smile at him waiting for his consciousness so that they do not disturb the deep sleep he enjoys.

"Regard!"

"....."

Nearby, Shilphonia hugged her body. The relentless tears streaming down his cheeks made Regard sure he was the only one who worried and worried about his condition as long as he was unconscious.

"Is he conscious?"

"Not yet."

"He still takes a long time to be conscious from his long sleep."

Noting that Fenrir's body had been transformed into a full-fledged human being, Regard believes this has something to do with the actions they have done to him to make him look like a human being.

But, he didn't want to ask anything.

The most important thing for Regard now was that he could enjoy some rest time along the road inside the train until he arrived at Resihei City.

•••••

"He was defeated and vanished?"

"Yes. It's all thanks to the help of someone great."

Throwing a large bag of coins in one arm, Veru proudly announced that Fenrir had been defeated.

The mayors of Resihei and Kanae who knew it was impossible to happen wondered who could defeat and cripple him.

Regardless of the cold weather causing them to be difficult to fight, there was another possibility that the Fenrir was the strongest race beyond any race.

That's why they don't believe what happened.

Yet...

"Look at this!"

"....."

The pool of blood mixed with the snow surface was successfully carried by Veru using a transparent plastic bag to make them realize it was not a lie.

Veru did not tell about where Fenrir was. If he explains that Fenrir was brought in by Regard, his previously made agreement will be lost causing him to no longer be trusted by him.

That was why Veru remained silent hiding the facts.

If any one of them is aware that Regard did it, either way, Veru hopes that the forecast will not happen.

Elsewhere inside the inn, Regard who was waiting for Fenrir's consciousness made the three of them who were outside his inn room peek out from behind the door with anxious and worried expressions over Regard's condition.

Regard had been unwilling to eat and drink at all since they arrived in the morning two days earlier. Instead, he was just waiting for Fenrir to come to his senses so that he could enjoy the food and drinks that were in the inn.

"Are we going to let it go on like this?"

"There's no other choice, right?"

"That's right. If Regard had decided on something, he'd be hard to talk about."

The three of them who understood his nature could only resign themselves to a state that hoped Fenrir could soon realize.

"....."

"Yo, you're aware of it."

Waking up from his sleep, his gaze turned around the room then looked at the bewildered Regard.

"Where is this?"

"You're in Resihei City."

"Resihei City? You mean the city where humans are?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Hearing the words he did not want to accept, Fenrir clasped tightly onto the blanket that covered his body.

Regard who understood his hatred had not disappeared from his heart, held his arm and smiled at him. Fenrir who saw her was shocked at the sincere smile directed at her.

"Everything's fine. If you want to be with us, we can bring you better than your previous life."

"Better?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Turning his gaze towards the door, the three girls who had previously peeked, panicked and tried to escape but failed.

"Hurry here!"

"Good."

The three girls entered the room.

Fenrir who was paying attention to him, wondered why Regard bothered to bring them into the room.

"Explain to him what I've been up to!"

"Good."

The forward Shilphonia explains in detail what happened to Regard, herself, and the two girls nearby.

While waiting for Shilphonia to finish her explanation, Regard decided to go to the ground floor of the inn to immediately consume food and drinks to satisfy her stomach from hunger.

Since two consecutive days of not eating and drinking, Regard relied solely on the blood supply in the small glass bottle he prepared under certain conditions.

Sitting on a chair on the ground floor, with a sandwich and warm tea on the table, Regard ate it voraciously. After eating a sandwich, Regard went on to eat grilled beef which was applied a special sauce on the fat part to make it taste good.

I hope he can take it.

The only thing that worried him was that Fenrir was unwilling to accept the present reality.

The fact that Regard can be trusted by him because he himself met Fenrir in his past that made him always tell the whole incident of his past.

But, Regard was sure the case would be different against the three girls in his room.

Be it Elves, Angels, and Humans, the three of them were still difficult to accept easily without any special approach so Regard guessed this might take quite a long time later.

Although he thought it would take a long time for Fenrir to open his heart to them, Regard's current hope is that he will accept it which speeds up the friendship between each other.

•••••

The Regard POV

It would feel really annoying if I were to constantly rely on Shilph to be certain that he would be annoyed and resentful for my absence in his explanation.

Well, worst-case scenario he would lecture me so much so I wasn't surprised at his attitude.

Knocking on the door many times, I entered my room.

They all looked at me with confused faces, except for Fenrir. He who looked at me with a sad expression ran towards me then hugged me.

"You're really going through a tough past huh, Regard."

Wait for. Why do you even sympathize with me?

Directing a glance at Shilph, he shook his head as if signaling that his efforts in convincing him had been in vain.

As soon as I looked at Reita, she was the same. This happened to Friya, who was just like Shilph and Reita shaking her head as if their efforts had resulted in failure.

"You must be sicker than my past, right? Come here for a minute!"

Wh-wait! What the hell are you doing?

Unconsciously Fenrir put both of his arms to my face, pointed my head towards his flat chest, and hugged me.

His actions in doing this were indeed completely unexpected. Like a mother who loves her child, I knew she would act like that to me.

Never mind.

Giving up is better.

What's left is how do I convince them that I'm not interested in things like a small chest or a big chest?

That's what needs to be thought about.

The fenrir calmed down, sitting on the side of the mattress.

Although the marks on his body were invisible thanks to their help, I'm sure he felt strange seeing himself as a human being.

"Did you bring me here for something?"

"Yes. I want you to change your point of view from the past you've been through."

"Changed? No kidding! I can't forget anything about the mistakes they've made on us."

Shilph who suddenly approached her, hugged her tightly.

He currently understands the pain experienced by Fenrir but in a different case.

Shilph who was betrayed by the existing reality of the elders made him thrown to the face of the earth, while Fenrir himself he was betrayed by humans who initially can be trusted to have pounced on him secretly which made almost all his family disappear, except himself.

"Take me off!"

Thrashing about due to Shilph's large chest, Fenrir tried to let go of his embrace.

Unfortunately he was unable to do so.

The more he refused to be hugged, Shilph's face seemed to be pleased with him trying to approach him in a strange way as he usually does.

Really great for a girl like her.

"Are we going to start our activities as usual tonight?"

"no need. We'll start in a few days."

"Activity? Is there something you're used to doing?"

Releasing his tight embrace, Shilph nodded at Fenrir's question earlier.

"Every night, we have a duty in executing criminals in the city so that the victims don't lose those closest to them."

Waitaminute! Wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to explain it right now?

Ughhhh...

It seems too late.

Fenrir who looks enthusiastic in both eyes that shine brightly, certainly he looks forward to the moments where he will rampage at night.

Never mind.

It is better to explain to them that The Necromancer's night operation was canceled because we could not continue the execution while with Fenrir.

There is a possibility that he will go on a rampage that causes the criminals to die mercilessly in an instant which causes us to be glimpsed by the Royal Knights because of his rampage that could damage a portion of Resihei City.

That scenario I can imagine right now.

Uncle Veru who will scold and lecture me takes time to get away from everything that takes a long time.

"We'll do it another time because I've set up some cloning in every place and corner."

"All right."

"If it wants you then..."

"Yes, we can't refuse it."

Thank you for your understanding.

"....."

What's with a look like that?

As if looking at me with a clear face, his gaze seemed to tell me to take him on the hunt at night.

Honestly, this would be a high risk to invite him to hunt at night to reduce the crime that spread in the city.

Moreover, with the hatred and tantrums that Fenrir had, sooner or later, our traces will be known to the Royal Knights who are likely to do something to us for having acted far away without their knowledge.

"You must not come because you still need time to be able to accept the advantages and disadvantages that exist in the viewpoint you have."

"All right."

His withered ears on his head signified he was forcibly accepting my words.

That nice.

If he refuses and acts as he pleases, I wonder what it will be like. But as long as he obeyed it, it was safe and good for me not to stop his rampage forcibly because it was troublesome to do.

"After you've opened your heart to other humans, I'll take you on a night hunt. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Once again, he hugged me tightly like a pet I had before. I don't know where he is now, I hope we can meet again after returning to Farihiora City.
