Trash of the Count's Family

On, Hong, and Raon’s eyes opened wide. The children averaging nine-years-old subconsciously looked toward Cale’s back. They were receiving some good news in the middle of the battle.

“Hooooo. That was faster than I expected.”

The fake Hilsman also seemed a bit shocked as he looked at Cale’s back.

They had located Duke Deruth earlier than he had expected.

They then heard Cale’s voice as he calmly started speaking without turning around.

“…You believe you located it?”

Beacrox and Lock couldn’t help but flinch, even though Cale’s tone was not a scolding one.

“It is not the actual location but a hypothesis?”

“That is right, young master-nim.”

Beacrox, whose expression had quickly turned back to normal, gave a short explanation about what had happened.

“The Molan Household was investigating different parts of Puzzle City when my father suddenly felt an abnormal breeze and moved in that direction.”

“Breeze?”

The fake Hilsman tilted his head, but the children averaging nine-years-old nodded their heads with sparkles in their eyes.

“We followed the direction of the breeze and found a house. The breeze did not leave that area.”

The breeze that brushed around Ron… That was created by a Wind Elemental.

Cale was capable of communicating with the Wind Elementals with his golden top’s whip.

However, other people could not communicate with the Wind Elementals even if they held this golden top’s whip. But the Wind Elementals had a way of leading people without using speech.

That medium was the wind.

The Wind Elementals had thoroughly searched every nook and corner of Puzzle City. They led Ron, the human holding the top’s whip, to the suspicious location as soon as they found it.

“So, did you find it, Mr. Beacrox?”

Lock anxiously asked Beacrox.

“No. We located the house, but we are currently observing it from a distance.”

“…Ah.”

Lock nodded his head as if he understood.

‘It is the right decision to proceed extremely cautiously if Duke Deruth-nim is really imprisoned in that house.’

Beacrox’s gaze that had been stuck on Lock for a moment headed toward Cale’s back. He could see Cale’s hand slowly moving.

Baaaaaang— baaaaang!

Loud explosions rang out every time he moved his hand and rocks turned into dust. Beacrox quietly observed Cale’s back as Cale stood there without saying anything else before he started walking.

He walked brusquely until he stopped right next to Cale.

‘…I knew it would be like this.’

Drip.

He could see drops of sweat on Cale’s forehead dripping down his face. More beads of sweat were forming one by one as well.

“My job is done in about fifteen more minutes.”

Beacrox frowned after hearing what Cale was saying while looking like this. He then noticed Cale’s hand that had a handkerchief wrapped around it like a bandage.

The handkerchief was full of dark red dried blood. Beacrox did not like it, although the injury on Cale’s palm seemed to have closed.

‘In some ways, he really is trash.’

The way he did not listen to the people around him telling him to stop getting hurt and to take better care of himself was the same stubborn kid who acted like trash in the past.

“I think you can turn the mana disturbance off now, nya!”

Raon added to Hong’s comment.

“That’s right! Human, let’s turn the mana disturbance tool off, and then I will stop that monster with my magic!”

“I’m not so sure.”

It was rare to see Cale stall like this without giving a direct response.

“…It will be quite troublesome if the bastards who messed with my father run off.”

It would be very troublesome.

He wanted to save his father and capture all of these abductors.

“But there’s still no reason to push yourself too hard, nya.”

Cale looked down after hearing a voice.

On, who had walked up to his feet at some point, smiled at him. The silver kitten’s gold eyes were calm.

Tap, tap.

On tapped Cale’s leg with her front paw before pointing to the side.

“It is over here, young master-nim.”

Beacrox handed the golden top’s whip in his hand to Cale.

“…You brought this with you?”

“My father told me to do so.”

Beacrox repeated Ron’s message word for word.

“I cannot hear the voices of the Elementals, so I can only hypothesize that the location the Elementals told us about is the right place. I am sending this with my son as you may hear something else from the Elementals since you can speak to them, young master-nim.”

The hand wrapped in a handkerchief grabbed the golden top’s whip without any hesitation.

Cale felt a breeze brush past him at that moment. He then heard multiple voices.

‘Cale Henituse, we found some houses! The wind flows underground through all those houses!’

‘Cale, long time no see! Anyway, each house has a door leading underground.’
