I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 255

#When I returned, the family was ruined (256)

‘Cruma.’

It was one of the numerous high-ranking spirits of fire. He had relatively low power among high-level spirits.

This was the reason why he was in charge of Area 8, which could be said to be the outskirts of the Land of Fire. Just as human society was divided into the capital and the provinces, the spirit world was also the same.

By the standards of the human world, Zone 8 was not an ordinary region, but rather a secluded rural area. The numbers below were only zones 9 and 10, but by the standards of the human world, it was practically a slum-like area. A virtually lawless zone where it is common for spirits to attack each other to gain power.

Number 8 is at least a noble person. Because secluded rural estates were generally peaceful. The only things that happened here were pastimes such as the spirits having petty fights with each other.

That’s why Cruma couldn’t help but be surprised by the news he heard a little while ago.

-This human came in! And suddenly!

-human? Could it be that this is the creature I know? You know… one of the races that dominates Middle-earth…

-Yes! That seems correct! It was exactly the same as what I heard from my mother.

The lowest level spirit who holds the position of lowest soldier in Zone 8. This guy was the lowest of the low who had never seen a human being. This means that he is a rookie who has never signed a typical contract. It wasn’t strange. The soldiers in this area were generally at this level.

In any case, this report was the kind of thing that couldn’t be ignored. Is it common for humans to appear in the spirit world?

It was something that may or may not happen once in hundreds of years.

It was also an instant for the report to be sent to ‘Ifru’, the highest-level spirit in charge of Zone 8.

An army was immediately organized, led by Iprou. I don’t know anything else, but one thing was certain. A human capable of infiltrating the spirit world must have great power.

If a weak human had been lucky enough to enter this place, he or she would have died as soon as he or she was revealed.

However, according to reports, no matter how much time passes, humans continue to sit in their seats looking fine.

There was no doubt that he was a master of considerable skill even in the earthly world. This was why Ipreu organized a large army. If a person had visited the Land of Fire with an unfavorable purpose, it would not have been surprising if a demonstration of force had occurred.

Soon, the spirit army opened the fire passage. The troops led by Ipru crossed through the passage.

The first thing they saw was the figure of a human sitting calmly on the ground. At most, only one person. Looking at the huge greatsword on his back, the general looked like a knight.

An army of over a thousand spirits surrounded humans. Despite this, even the most common embarrassment did not occur to the human eye. There was only an overly calm expression, as if looking at an ordinary natural phenomenon.

He was a strange human being.

It was Ipuru who could not bear the silence.

―…Who are you?

“Ethan.”

―Ethan? Are there any other identities?

“The Duke of Ardan.”

―Ardan…

At those words, the spirits, including Ipuru, opened their eyes in surprise. Ardan was a fairly famous family in the spirit world. This was because the fire spirits were the only human family in charge of blessings.

Besides, Ardan…

Ifru recalled a rumor. Recently, I heard that a group of humans are wandering around the monarch’s residence. Surprisingly, it was….

‘I said they were humans invited by Lorotia herself.’

It was a rumor I heard directly from the spirits in charge of the Fire Palace. Among the list, there was clearly the head of the Ardan family.

―…Is this the person who was invited by the monarch?

“right.”

―But why did you come to Zone 8 and not the monarch’s land?

“Zone 8?”

―…Numbered according to the elemental density of the Land of Fire. This is the area with the eighth highest spirit density out of ten areas.

Ifru kindly added an explanation. It was a knight who was expected to have been invited by the monarch. Even if it was a top-level spirit that was not to be feared, it had to be shown a certain level of respect. Ignoring him could have been seen as ignoring the monarch’s authority.

“Right.”

-You did not answer the question, human.

“The answer is simple. “I didn’t receive an invitation from Lorotia this time.”

―…!

-Huh-up!

―How dare you insult the monarch’s name in an informal language…!

-Have you ever seen such an arrogant person…!

Gossip!

Ifru didn’t dare add anything, even if it was for the sake of saving face, other normal spirits were different. They were spewing out their thoughts without hesitation.

Not only did he not know that a human named Ethan was directly invited by the monarch, but he also did not feel the need to be careful about what he said to the human. Some spirits were even spitting out angry words, as was their nature.

Cruma, a high-level spirit, was one of them.

-Yes, you guy! How dare you blaspheme Lorotia’s name! I guess I just want to die!

The word ‘Lorotia’ was ringing in his head a hundred times louder than the word ‘invited’.

How dare you say the great monarch’s name in an informal language to a human being?

As the head of the security branch of my 8th district, I punish you…!

[Kruma, stop.]

Ifru? why…!

[Didn’t you hear what that person said? ‘Didn’t you say ‘this time’ you weren’t invited?]

Kruma asked back with a red face, as if he was exasperated by Ifru’s whisper.

[What does that have to do with anything?]

[You fool! Please do what you think! What you mean is that the monarch personally invited you to the palace before!]

[…Yes? I didn’t hear it clearly, but…]

[Unlike you, who are in the lowest official position, you can talk and eat together with the monarch, and maybe we’re all in the same relationship!]

[Huh!]

We ate and talked together with the respected monarch! Are you saying that you share things without hesitation?

Could it be that they are close friends or perhaps even lovers?

In that case, the lowest-ranking provincial head of the local government was not the kind of person who could dare to lower Chidogon.

Wouldn’t it be great if you were to be offended by a single word from that person?

A fireball fell on Cruma’s forehead. It meant he was clearly nervous.

―Um…this human?

[Eight! noisy! You just keep your mouth shut! I’ll solve it!]

[…Old.]

The upper-class spirit, whose strength was rapidly diminishing, quietly retreated behind the soldiers. Ifru sighed.

The reason why Cruma came to such a secluded area is because of his high level of skill, but the decisive factor is probably his very fiery temperament even among the fire spirits.

―…I’m sorry, Ethan.

“No, I don’t care. “I guess I was just doing my duty considering I was an intruder.”

―Hehe… Your heart is as broad as that of the monarch. After all, he is a human being who shared a private meeting with the monarch.

If you paint your face like this, you won’t say anything about the rudeness that happened in Area 8.

As long as it was possible to prevent unnecessary sparks with a light public attack, it was an Ipru that could do as much as it wanted.

―So, may I ask why you came here even though you were not invited?

“Do Lorotia and I have to be invited to come? “I thought not.”

―…Is that so?

I had nothing to say when the person who had been invited directly, not once but many times, said that.

Isn’t it really possible to think like that?

The biggest problem was that even the monarch could think that way.

This meant that if you kicked out or clashed with people for no reason just because you were in charge of public security, there could be a big problem in the future. Since he had risen to the highest level of spirit, Ifru had a distinguished career.

Of course, I also had the knowledge of how to resolve this situation.

-I guess so. That’s why I came to this secluded area, number 8. Well, without the monarch’s invitation, you won’t be able to move directly to the vicinity of the palace. Because it is a thoroughly guarded place.

“So that’s why I arrived here.”

-That’s right. If you don’t mind being rude, may we treat you like a treat? I will deliver the news directly to the monarch. You will probably receive a reply right away in about half a day.

“Right. Then, will you tell it to Lorothia? “If you avoid me, there will be chaos in the Land of Fire.”

―That’s what I’ll tell you… huh? What did you just say?

“Do spirits also have dark-eared entities?”

―….

Ifru’s face hardened. When we inferred human speech, we were able to find out several facts.

first.

Humans visited this place without permission.

second.

There seems to be some kind of conflict between Lorotia and humans. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been invited here long ago, or you wouldn’t have said ‘avoiding’.

third.

Humans seem to be full of the will to cause trouble whenever possible.

Ifru’s face started to wrinkle as he came to a conclusion in an instant. He urgently sent a whisper to the human.

[…Do you realize that this could be extremely disrespectful to the monarch?]

The monarch was an absolute being and a being who had to be perfect. This was the absolute truth. To freely make threatening remarks to such a being…

It was an issue that could have undermined the monarch’s status.

If this person had never been invited by the monarch, he would have immediately spewed out extremely high-temperature flames.

Ethan responded to those words with a cold smile.

[Speaking of that rudeness, it happened here first. The one who offers the apology will have to be your monarch.]

[…How dare you.]

[Let me give you a piece of advice. It’s okay to fight, but it would be better to tell the story. What I am going to talk about will not be too damaging to your great monarch.]

In a short period of time, many thoughts passed through Ifru’s mind. It is certain that there will be a fight. Because he dared to say something insulting to the monarch.

‘…but.’

It would be better to leave the news. Even for the security of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, if just in the unlikely event that what that person says is true, wouldn’t it be beneficial to the monarch as well? He secretly whispered to a spirit.

[Cruma!]

[Old!]

[Tell it to the capital right now. The grade is special. The content is… a human named Ethan wants to meet the monarch.]

[Old!]

[…Oh, by the way, please convey this information as well. The human said that he did not come to talk about losses to the monarch.]

[…I understand.]

Cruma, who was showing a shocked face, eventually ran out in a huff. It is the name of a superior. Even though he was impatient, he couldn’t protest. Soon, high fever began to slowly burn in the bodies of the fire spirits, including Ifru, surrounding Ethan.

It was clear hostility.
