The Necromancers
Ch. 5:Welcome, Sir!

On the way home to Farihiora City, Regard and a long blonde girl, Shilphonia Autheurus spoke to each other.

"Are you sure you're letting Stephani settle into your body?"

"Yes, he has fought so far for my sake so I don't want him to refuse my request."

"That's why you wanted to establish yourself by following me huh."

"Yes." Yeah."

Sighing softly at Shilphonia's words, Regard did not at all expect that someone would go with him on an adventure with him.

Regard admits that Shilphonia has abilities and powers that exceed reasonable limits so she can accept them, but what makes him still object is not because of the existence of Shilphonia but the existence of Stephanie which he still can not understand.

"Don't worry, sooner or later you'll understand it later."

"I hope so."

Although he himself objected to Shilphonia's words, Regard was convinced that one day his words had a point so he deliberately agreed with her.

"Oh yes Shilphonia, may I call you by the name of Shilph?"

"Shilph?"

Shocked to hear it, Shilphonia's face flushed red, her previously calm demeanor becoming panicked and anxious over her new call.

"Calm down, Shilph! I deliberately called you by this name because I had trouble calling your name long."

"That's it."

Laughing at Regard's words, Shilphonia herself was embarrassed by his attitude. He who should have understood the meaning of Regard's words had completely misunderstood.

The intention of the Regard that Shilphonia is expecting is that Regard accidentally called his new name Shilph as a close relationship from their friendship, but it seems like it was just a mere feeling.

"Well, you may call me by the name of Shilph."

"Thank you."

Silence happened between the two.

Shilphonia who was confused as to what topic to talk about could only glance at Regard in silence without saying anything. Regard was the same, he had no idea what topic he could talk to her about.

All in all, Regard was alone stunned at the beauty possessed by Shilphonia. Starting from long blonde hair, a pair of red eyes, white skin, and has an ideal body that is large chested, thin body with a slender waist, as well as having an enlarged buttocks makes Regard sure he is a beautiful figure that can be idolized by anyone who sees it.

Although Regard was stunned at her beauty, he realized that Shilphonia was not a human but an angel so he decided not to think about it further because it would harm Shilphonia and himself.

"By the way Shilph, why are you locked up in the Sylvia Ruins?"

"That's..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's actually a secret that's not allowed to be told, but since you want to know about the reason why I'm locked up in the rubble, I'll tell you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I decided that."

Smiling at his words, Regard with a puzzled expression did not know what to do. Should he be proud and happy to hear the true story of Shilphonia? Or did he feel guilty for forcing Shilphonia to tell him why she was locked up in the Sylvia Ruins?

Shilphonia explained to Regard everything without any secret.

Hearing his explanation, Regard nodded and understood.

He had known the truth about Shilphonia's feelings of being hurt by her futile struggle, a struggle where there should be no problems there were problems from the very beginning she was assigned. That was why Shilphonia who defied the will of the Elders made her turn into Stephani, a figure that was at odds with her personality that destroyed a portion of the Sky Palace and killed some of her friends of the same race, the Angels.

However, everything changes when the Elders are angry which causes Shilphonia to be required to descend to earth and bear her title as Fallen Angel Stephani in the ruins while waiting for the arrival of someone who can free her.

"I'm sorry for Stephani's attitude during the previous fight."

"It's okay. I think it's a natural thing."

"Knew?"

"Yes. Protecting yourself and holding on, I would have done the same thing as if I were in the same position as Stephani."

Smiling at the words from Regard, Shilphonia was glad she understood them.

The guilt had completely escaped from within Shilphonia which left her free without thinking about the feelings of objection and coercion which Regard had in bringing her to Farihiora City.

The Regard POV

Entering the city gate, Shilph and I rushed towards the Adventurers Guild.

"Do I have to register as an adventurer?"

"Yes, you can do it if you want. But if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Hearing my words, Shilph fell silent and pondered.

Perhaps for him, entering the Adventurers Guild as an adventurer was extremely difficult to do.

Moreover, Shilph was an angel who had defied a rule set in the sky making him fall to earth as a Fallen Angel so I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't want to do so.

"Master, you're back!"

"Master!?"

Without me noticing, Sasaki ran and jumped at me.

He hugged me tightly. So tight, I found it hard to take my arms off my body.

How else, he might be worried about my condition all this time so I'll let it go for a while.

"I knew that Master would be safe so I couldn't possibly be saddened by your passing."

"Yes, thank you for worrying about me."

"....."

Right, I have to explain this to Shilph so he doesn't misunderstand.

For a few minutes I let Sasaki hold me, she stopped him and let go of his embrace and stood up.

"I'm sorry for my exaggerated attitude."

"Yes." Yeah."

Alright.

"Sasaki, can you explain your whereabouts to her?"

"His squad?"

Noticing Shilph's appearance, Sasaki was shocked. He was silent for a moment and turned his eyes towards me.

Her expression that looked sad and panicked made me believe that she was afraid that I would forget her so I replied to her attitude by shaking my head in response.

"Thank God."

Sighing in relief, he immediately drew closer to Shilph and began to explain.

As long as he explained about his past and the reason why he could be with me, I decided to report the mission to the Adventurers Guild so that they could map the Sylvia Ruins for other adventurers in exploring the place.

"good. Here's the reward, sir!"

"Thank you!"

"Yes, I thank you too. Thanks to you, the other adventurers can explore the ruins safely without any danger in it."

He's correct. The only danger was the existence of Hellhounds inhabiting the deepest floor in the Sylvia Ruins.

But, he's gone so I'm sure there won't be another monster as strong and powerful as the Hellhound anywhere else. Even if there is, I've been eradicating it since the beginning.

Back at Shilph and Sasaki's place, I'm sure they've finished talking to each other.

The sight of those waiting for my arrival made me feel like they were getting closer to each other.

Come to think of it this is a unique condition. Sasaki has a talking friend aside from myself, I hope she can be happy with the presence of her new friend, Shilph nearby.

"Hows it? Are you done reporting?"

"Yes, I'm done."

"By the way Shilphonia is, are you unwilling to register as an adventurer?"

"I-it's how to say it yes."

"He didn't want to register because he didn't want to be restrained by the affairs in the Adventurers Guild, Sasaki."

"Really, Mister?"

"Stop calling me Master, it'll make people misunderstand our relationship all along."

"Yes, you're right."

Oh gosh. It's really hard.

If I were in the same situation as everyone else, I might end up happy for having two harems in my new life. But I don't feel anything at all.

As long as I have not been able to take revenge for what befell my family, residents, and residence, I have not been able to be happy and happy in life now.

Is correct.

My only hope is to take revenge for what Stahark did to me.

In doing so, I can live a better life than the present one that only focuses on avenging him.

"Oh yeah, Arthen, I'm getting new information about another incident that happened in Fairy Forest."

"Fairy Forest?"

"I think I've heard it before."

"Are you sure you've heard of it?"

"Yes. To my knowledge, Fairy Forest is a forest inhabited by the Elves in it that protects and maintains their habitat strictly and firmly to be inaccessible to anyone who enters the forest."

Sounds pretty dangerous if we go to Fairy Forest.

Especially if we meet a group of Elves, I'm sure we'll be taken hostage and interrogated by them. If we answer that frankly, we will be released alive. If not, we will be killed by them.

Imagining over what would happen, I undo the intention of coming to Fairy Forest.

To be honest I could have destroyed and destroyed the place, but since I didn't want to cause trouble to anyone, I decided not to face any race in the future.

"May I know about what happened?"

"Yes. According to some of the information I heard in the Guild Hall, they said that the Fairy Forest had been attacked by the demon and Stahark forces."

Staharks?

That monster...

I've found her.

"alright. We're going to Fairy Forest soon to do the hunt. What do you think, Shilph?"

"That sounds good."

"But, Arthen.. if you do something bad to them, you won't be able to be–"

"Don't worry, I'll do anything to get back to this place again later. Leave everything to me!"

"Moon..."

Never mind. Don't look at me with such a hopeful look.

I can't look at her for too long because it would hurt my heart. The reason was that I had absolutely no intention of taking the initiative to do bad to them.

Well, if I were required to do so, I would do so if I were in a desperate situation. I don't know what way I'm going to use it, I'll make sure I do everything to get back to Farihiora City, my new hometown.

I promise you over it.

"Before we go, we'll buy clothes first."

"Eh... eeeeehhh?"

Buying clothes is needed so I care more about Shilph's appearance to look more beautiful than she does now.
