Trash of the Count's Family

Drip. Drip.

Black liquid continued to drip from the temple's ceiling.

Crackle. Crackle.

On the other hand, thunderbolts were slowly gathering and getting stronger on top of Cale’s hand. …A sea of fire!

He could hear the cheapskate’s excited voice.

He heard the voices of the Wind Elementals at the same time.

‘The dead mana is starting to flow out faster! Soon it will go boom! Boom! It will explode!’

‘We are at our limits! Lasting a whole week was already us giving it our best!’

‘This is bad! This is very bad!’

The dead mana that had been dripping drop by drop was starting to flow faster and was now falling as a small stream.

Cale unintentionally shared his feelings.

“…It is much louder than I expected.”

‘Wow! I think he really can hear us! He said we were loud!’

‘We are kind of loud! Right? Sorry. These guys are always like this.’

‘Kahahaha! Let’s make it even louder for him! It's been a while since a human was able to hear us!’

‘…Voice…can hear it… A friend… A friend…is someone who… Listens to their friends’ voices……’

“Haaaa.”

Cale started to frown.

However, his eyes were quickly looking around at his surroundings.

He looked toward where the altar had stood as well as the path that connected to the exit.

That path was already half-submerged in dead mana.

Crumble. Crumble.

The black marble started to fall apart.

‘It's breaking! Everything is going to be destroyed! Sob, it is so sad! Everybody is going to die, what are we going to do?!’

‘The people on that island that smells like alcohol will all die. So will the fish! And the plants! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! The poor fish! Waaaaaaaaah!’

“…This is driving me nuts.”

Some of the Wind Elementals started to cry.

Their loudness was no joke.

Cale looked at the top's whip in his hand even during this urgent situation.

‘Did I pick up something useless? Forget strong allies, I just feel like I have more baggage now.’

Cale’s expression slowly changed back to his stoic expression.

He heard the thief’s voice at that moment. …Ahem, hem! You won't hear the voices of the Wind Elementals if you let go of the top's whip!

The thief awkwardly added on. Let’s not destroy it.

‘Hooo.’

Cale looked down at the whip in his hand.

He opened his mouth to speak.

"Shall I break it?”

‘Gasp!’

‘Gasp! H, he said he’s going to break it!’

‘Maybe we were too loud!’

‘Children, this is why I told you to be quiet.’

‘D, don't break it! I want to chat with humans!’

‘Hooo.’

The corners of Cale’s lips twisted up.

The Wind Elementals seemed to want to prevent a situation where they could no longer talk to Cale.

However, he didn’t know the reason why. Cale, these Elementals will be reliable allies for you!

‘Allies?’

Cale started to smile. He then put on a warm expression.

“Hey Wind Elementals, you guys were the ones who protected me here for the past week, right? Thank you.”

A bright smile similar to the one Alberu Crossman would have when speaking to the nobles was on Cale's face.

‘……Uh, yeah! It wasn’t hard though! Sure thing, no big deal!’

‘Wow! He said thank you! He said thank you to us!’

‘I'm relieved… It doesn’t look like he’s going to break the whip. Anyway, quiet down a bit!’

It was at that moment.

Crack.

Crack, crack!

A large crack appeared on the temple ceiling.

‘Gasp! There’s a hole in the ceiling!’

He could hear the Elementals screaming.

Cale heard an odd noise at the same time.

Oooooooong- ooooooong-

The temple was shaking. Cale could feel the area shaking more than before. That gave him the confirmation he needed.

‘It's going to break soon.

The black mountain will explode.

This dead mana storage facility will explode.’

The temple shook once again as if to prove that this was indeed the case. The Wind Elementals started to get even more exaggerated.

‘What do we do?! We don’t know how to purify dead mana!’

‘…I'm so sad. Sooooob.’

Some of the Elementals quietly started to look toward a person.

It was the only living person on Wind Island.

Cale Henituse.

He was staring at the hole in the ceiling.

“…Wow.”

The marble had cracked and fallen off of the temple ceiling.

On top of that was transparent glass.

Cale could see inside the glass.
