126 – When a woman harbors resentment
The next day.
The torrential rain stopped.
I came out of the inn to do photosynthesis for the first time in a while, and I was walking around the city lightly.
“Whew…”
It’s a little better now that I’m out in the sunlight.
Although I didn’t see a single person while I was walking around.
…Is it because of the Busan atmosphere and morning sunlight?
Well,
Because it’s strange that a vampire like me wants to be in the sunlight in the first place.
Just like a water cat that likes to take a bath.
Soggy.
… Last night was a big deal in many ways.
I think I managed to solve it well with Adela…
-Won’t you… Give me a little time to organize my thoughts?
The problem was Veronica and Elena.
Later, when Adela asked why she visited Veronica,
She replied that the reason I became a hero was because of the holy sword Veronica kept.
It was a situation that could be misunderstood.
It was exposed to the holy sword kept by Veronica, the first human,
She didn’t say anything to Adela, her guardian, even though she knew that she had become a warrior after that, which made her parents angry.
But what?
It wasn’t like that…
Only poor Veronica felt sorry for her.
I still felt a bit bad about cheating this time, so I went straight to Veronica’s room after I broke up with Adela to apologize.
‘…?’
In the room, Veronica, who was supposed to be there, was nowhere to be seen.
Even after 10 minutes of taking out a chair from the table and sitting down…
‘Did you go to the bathroom?’
Even after 30 minutes.
‘…’
When he didn’t come after an hour,
I finally got up and returned to the room where I first woke up.
-Kiik.
Grade covered the plate to keep the soup from getting cold, but
It was around the time when I was eating cold soup, perhaps because of the rainy and chilly weather.
– Smart.
‘Who are you?’
The person who opened the door and came in.
‘…Rye.’
It was a high elf girl looking at me with tears in her eyes.
‘Sorry… Me. I said something harsh to Rai’s sister…’
‘…’
‘I know… I know… That…’
‘No. Didn’t you get angry instead of me?’
It was good even if it wasn’t a situation to get angry.
Anyway, the foundation started from worrying about me,
At least I need to thank Elena.
Even if I apologize to Banter later.
‘Thank you. Elena.’
To make Elena feel safe,
She smiled as brightly as she could and she laughed.
**
…When I think about it after another day has passed, it seems to be shrinking a bit.
Let’s go.
“…I ended up walking around without thinking.”
Pertia checkpoint.
Go all the way along the wall to the entrance,
Guards and reinforcements from the guild were moving the collapsed materials together.
– aaah!!!
-Why on earth are stone bricks being used these days…!
-Cheer up a little more!
… You have a lot of trouble.
“Oh.”
Just arrived at the checkpoint,
There were a few things worth checking.
“Can you come in?”
In case any guard or guild member knows my face…
At that time.
“… Huh?”
Fortunately, contrary to my worries,
A person who could guarantee my safety was just passing through the entrance of the checkpoint.
‘…Should I say fortunate?’
Before the man who was talking with the guards entered,
Let’s move quickly and reach the entrance.
“…Did you move all the sieve?”
“Yes. The remains of the guards were sent to their families. The bodies of the enemy soldiers…”
It looks like we’re talking serious things,
I don’t think the timing to intervene will come if it’s not this time.
“…The head of the school.”
“Then… Er. Kyat!!”
The burgundy hair flowing through the wizard’s hat fluttered up and down,
Veronica screamed like a girl.
“…?”
“Who…”
Veronica, startled, turned her head away and met her eyes with mine.
“…!!”
When our eyes meet,
Like a child caught doing something bad, he opened his eyes wide for a moment, then stood still and stared at me.
– Damn…
… I don’t know why,
Today, I feel like my conscience is being stabbed by Veronica’s gaze.
“…Are you going inside?”
“Uh…Huh? Huh…”
“Good. There’s something I’d like to check, too… Can I come in with you?”
After that, Veronica didn’t say much,
She quietly turned her head and started walking toward her entrance.
Follow Veronica and go outside through the half-destroyed entrance.
“…”
On a clear morning like this,
The devastation of the battlefield was revealed more and more.
A stone bridge with bullets stuck here and there,
Bloodstains splattered on a piece of broken wood that was a toolbox.
The pieces of metal from the broken swords and spears are stepped on and snarled at every step.
-Suddenly.
Let’s cross all the bridges while listening to the sound of water flowing in the lake.
‘…Here it is.’
Where the dirt floor begins.
Deeply fanned circular bottom.
And the bottom line drawn in a semicircle.
…It was the place where I stood to defend the bridge.
By the way.
“…? This is…”
Focused on the hollow floor,
It was studded with tiny flower buds.
“It’s a memorial flower. The remaining guards brought it.”
“…”
“And also, it means respect for the heroes who protected them.”
A hero.
I don’t remember doing anything worthy of being called such a grandiose name.
It would have been absolutely impossible if I had been alone in the first place.
-Jerebuck.
Let’s cross the oval line,
Immediately, I continued to move along the uneven floor with countless footprints and rainwater pooling on them.
‘Yes.’
I was able to find what I wanted.
-Crackle!
Do you know that you are abandoned,
An oval-shaped marble that emits small sparks to appeal to its existence.
Anyway,
If I hadn’t been here, no one would have seen it.
The owner of this guy is about to capture Adela for interrogation, She
Like a doll with her thread cut, she cuts her own life, she says.
“… Leah.”
-The house will be full at this rate.
“Even if you try, there’s only one marble.”
-…
With Leah’s little grumbling,
The bead placed on the wrist gradually disappears.
“Ha ha.”
With this, the goal was over.
Wake up stretching like that,
The moment I was about to return to Veronica, who was staring at me from afar.
‘Wait.’
Something strange passed through my mind.
Sup…
Smell.
No matter how diluted and run off by rainwater,
There was no smell of blood, which must have been soaked deep in the mud.
It was a place where the blood of hundreds of people was shed.
Suddenly,
At the time of the transaction with Frederica, the last words he said lingered in my head.
After several fierce battles,
As if satisfied, Frederica readily asked me for a ‘suggestion’.
And just before parting.
-…Anyway. Since the war started. Because the plan is complete.
With meaningful words.
-Please… Don’t give up and make me happy. Warrior.
The figure vanished from sight with its huge wings and an evil smile.
‘Now that the war has begun, the plan has been completed.’ La…
“…”
Certainly,
From here, the development will begin to flow in a completely different conception from that in the novel.
Dimension made its appearance in earnest,
Because the alliance between Merveus and neutral powers started in a more favorable situation than before.
‘… Let’s try it.’
Apart from that,
Veronica also needs to know about the abnormal symptoms you just found out.
Go up to Veronica, who has been looking at me with affectionate eyes since earlier.
“Director… Maybe.”
“You mean the smell of blood, right?”
From noble mtl dot com
I already knew that.
“…Yes.”
“Even if you make a face asking how did you know… Everyone will know if he suddenly drops his head to the ground and approaches with a serious expression.”
“Ahahahaha…”
“We are also investigating the missing blood in our own way. … It’s such a bizarre thing that we haven’t made any progress.
… More than that. “
…?
Veronica, who was explaining to me in a businesslike tone,
He swallowed in one gulp as if he was nervous somewhere.
“…To me. Do you have something to say?”
In contrast to the trembling voice,
He started looking at me with calm eyes.
“…Ah.”
Come to think of it…
I forgot about it because we met in such an unexpected place.
“Sorry!!”
“…What are you sorry about?”
Oops.
Judging from the fact that that line came out, I must have been really angry this time.
“That… I’m afraid that if the principal finds out, he’ll get caught up in it… In case things go wrong…!”
“…”
“And that… My sister misunderstood me for a moment yesterday… I’m sorry. I told you well, so next time…”
In order to relieve Veronica’s anger somehow,
He started to confess his sins in a hurry.
Veronica, who stood still and listened to my apology for a long time.
“…Yes.”
With the way you feel the chill of the harsh winter,
“You… Always have been.”
He spat out words that sounded like a death sentence.
“… This matter is over. Let’s talk about it again.”
Jerbug.
“Enter carefully!”
It’s dead.
No matter who sees it, the anger is not relieved,
The figure of Veronica who gets more angry and avoids the seat.
I tried my best to apologize, but
It seems that it was not enough.
Still, Veronica was quite certain about public and private affairs,
As Veronica said, she won’t treat me with personal feelings until this is over, but…
“…”
The future is starting to look bleak.
It’s not about the future of what’s to come,
The future after destroying the bad ending.
“Ah…”
What can I do?
Even if you get scolded by Veronica later,
What I have built up.
“…But.”
What do we do now?
As soon as Veronica checks the scene and returns,
A countermeasure meeting will be held.
Things that are happening are unusual and important events,
The results won’t come out in at least a day or two.
At that time.
-Tiriling!!
Let’s answer the call when the smart watch rings.
“Hello…”
-Rye!!!
Elena’s urgent voice came over the line.
“…Huh? What happened…”
-Eris is… Eris is…!!
Click.
-Paat!!
A call from Elena that Eris is in a strange state.
Although the aftereffects still remained,
Responding to Elena’s cry that time is running out, I arrived at the inn with all my might, even strengthening her body with mana.
“…!”
Then, at the entrance of the inn,
I was able to meet an unexpected person.
“…Professor Bergen? How is this…”
“Now that’s not important…! Come on Eris…!!”
Certainly, Professor Bergen is right.
I followed Professor Bergen, who started running ahead, and entered the room.
“…Rye!”
Then there,
The image of Elena sweating profusely and doing something towards Eris with Anis-sama’s flame.
“…Kkeuheusss!!”
With a painful expression,
There was an image of Eris holding onto her heart.
“What the heck…”
“The erosion is progressing too fast…! I was doing a purification ceremony…!”
“… Leah!”
Looking at Eris’s body through the illusionary eyes,
A trace of ‘baptism’ that was embedded near the heart.
The ominous aura that spread inside Alice’s organs,
It was disappearing in a blur.
‘…This.’
The result of looking at some of the guys who have been ‘baptized’ with fantasy eyes.
In order for these guys to accept the power of fairies with human bodies,
Creates a ‘room’ to confine the fairy’s power within the body.
Unlike Elena, who had such a ‘vessel’ innately,
Forcibly carved into the chamber, the power of the fairy that was engraved spreads through the body and flows through the body, amplifying the user’s power.
“Keep ha…Ah…!”
As a result of Eris’ continued suppression of her power spreading inside her body with Elena’s flame,
The power of the fairy in the room was weakening, and Eris’ physical activity was coming to a standstill.
“…”
Gulp.
There was no workaround.
If left as it is, the runaway fairy’s existence will be purified, and Eris’ organs will also be stopped.
That said, it was a situation where you didn’t know what would happen if the runaway fairy’s power left the body to walk.
To put it simply.
A battery that will continue Eris’ physical activity.
I needed a fairy.
But where are the fairies…?!
At that time.
-The house will be full at this rate.
Suddenly a little while ago,
Lea’s grumbling passed through my mind.
What is currently in the pattern on the wrist,
It wasn’t just one marble and Leah.
