159. Don’t worry!
“….”
Taking in the sunlight filtering through the window, listening to the sound of even breathing coming from the side.
What happened to me at dawn, what did I finally do?
With no place to escape or escape, I knew very clearly.
“Yes….”
Black and red hair untied, body with red marks left here and there.
It’s not too sweet, even the soft skin that exudes a strange scent.
Until a while ago, he was the one whom I respected and respected as my teacher.
Now, after mingling with me, they were sleeping soundly in the same bed.
That look was very awkward, but also very exciting.
“Did it happen…?” .”
“Ah. Did you wake up? I’m sorry, Master.”
“… Yet… You can still call me by my first name.”
“… I understand, Yeonhwa. Sleep a little longer I must go downstairs.”
“Why? Are you even worried about the disciples?”
“Yes. I was with Master all night, so why not wonder what happened?”
At my answer, Master gave a very small smile as if he couldn’t stop it.
“And, I want to tell you the truth.”
“What are you talking about?”
“To not be able to fight for a while. So now everything depends on you guys. I believe in you Like that. As Master said, I will try to trust them completely.”
“… Can you really do that?”
Of course, I replied and shrugged my shoulders.
With my current state of health, I can’t help anything no matter what I do.
It’s fortunate if you don’t get in the way, and it’s fortunate if you don’t get treated as baggage.
If I intervened, it would only harm the disciples and warriors.
From now on, I was thinking of entrusting the details to the students while holding the big frame.
Those who run in the field catch change more sensitively and seek change.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t go to the site for a while, so it was only natural.
“Get some rest. I’ll be back soon.”
“No. Go and have a nice talk. After I wash my head, go down slowly.”
I smiled at Master’s reply.
And that was the moment I was about to open the door and leave the room.
“Hyunah.”
I turn to the voice of Master who suddenly calls me.
Immediately after that, something seemed to fill my vision, and something warm touched my lips.
“… Don’t forget.”
“Eh, yes?”
“You are the man who took all my beginnings. So, do your best.”
“….”
“Why is there no answer? Can’t you? Are you not able to keep your promise again?”
“No. Absolutely not. I will, Master.”
My answer gave Master barely a sense of relief.
Leave Master like that, I slowly went down to the first floor.
While going down, I remember what happened yesterday and my face gets hot.
I wonder if he said something strange because he was drunk with the atmosphere or swept away by his desire.
I was worried that I might have pushed Master too hard.
I didn’t mean to ask, but I tried not to.
Anyway, if the time comes later, I think I should ask in passing.
“Master!”
When I went down to the first floor, it was as expected.
A situation where Garam, Xenia, Lily, and even Iris are all gathered.
Looking at the faces, I don’t know what happened between night and dawn.
He also said that their lodging was a bit far from my room.
Not even my students who will be lodging in cheap buildings with no soundproofing.
Above all, they would have focused only on the ‘outside’ in preparation for possible external attacks.
“To think everyone has been gathering since early in the morning. I’ll sleep in or sleep in.”
“Yes? Master. It’s almost noon now.”
“Garam is right. Rather, I came as late as possible to ask Master to get some rest.”
“Ah… so? My body was so tired that I slept soundly and woke up, so my concept of time seems to be blurred.”
At my words, Garam and Xenia came to my side flapping around.
Then he asked if he was really bad.
Telling Lily next to her to take a quick look, she fluttered.
“Sisters. Please calm down. First of all, there was no big problem with Master’s body. A seemingly major injury. Unless the two of you are stabbed and cut.”
“Hey, hey. Lily. That was really irresistible. If you emphasize it like that, this ambassador is very sad.”
“I feel a little unfair about that too. You couldn’t help it? Garam would have cut more painfully.”
“… What is this elf talking about now? Does it hurt to be cut or does it hurt to be stabbed?”
“Of course it is electronic. The stabbing goes in only this much.”
“How are you? You’re sick How big is your spear? That much.”
It’s a start again. Anyways, these things are all about arguing every now and then.
When we do get into a fight, we get along well and fight back to back.
I can’t understand at all why I’m so impatient because I can’t eat it normally.
“Garam, Xenia. If you are going to fight, go out and fight.”
“Hot! No, Master! I will stop!”
“Me too!”
“Don’t ever fight, don’t say things like that. I do not wish for it and do not expect it. Still, I hope we get along a little bit better than we do now. It’s this master’s wish, can you grant it someday? Yes?”
Garam and Xenia nodded eagerly at my words.
But it’s not as easy as it sounds, it’s clear that there is still a fight to be made.
Why does Master say to me, ‘I promise only in words, don’t!’
I could understand why he was so upset about my broken promise.
“You two, please stop. You have news to tell Master.”
Are you going to give me any news?
“Oh, that’s right. The youngest is right. Master. I got a call from the north.”
“From Gerard and Iris? What did you come Maybe the North is pierced….”
“No. I hope so. They said they gave up on breaking through the defenses and retreated. And never stray near the perimeter again. It seems that the damage is so great that it can no longer move.”
I was able to breathe a sigh of relief at Garam’s words.
What if the north side of this yard, where you managed to catch the fragments of the second demon, broke through?
That was the news that there might be another powerful enemy there.
I was really worried about what to do when something like that happens.
Fortunately, the warriors of protection and fighting did their part.
“I am glad to hear from you. I wondered what would happen if the north collapsed.”
“It is said that new defense troops have been added in the central area this time. It seems that Daisy has been working hard, so the nobles in the central area have sent a number of enlisted soldiers.”
“Daisy? It’s not that good around words that he persuades people, isn’t it?”
“If you don’t release the soldiers immediately, I’ll close my eyes and use magic around here! I was shouting.”
… You said that you would use Buster Call in the prettiest way possible.
If I were a noble, if I heard that from a magic hero.
I will give up my enlisted soldiers right away and find a way to live a long and quiet life.
“Thank you for the good news. I think I’m feeling a little better. Actually, I had something to say.”
My disciples straighten their posture as if they would listen to my words.
“Actually, guys. This master may not be able to fight for a while, maybe for a very long time.”
As soon as I heard that, Garam, Xenia, and even Lily.
The three warriors kick off their chairs and stand up, their eyes wide open.
Only Iris was looking at me with calm eyes.
“What do you mean? Master?”
“You can’t fight?! Seo, are you sure you have a big problem with your body?”
“I’ll take a look right now. Master. Right Now….”
“No, no. Everyone calm down. Lily once. It’s not an injury you can do anything about. This is because it should be seen that the inside of the body is injured, not the outside.”
“Inside” Means….”
“The thing that is like a heart to creatures and a mana heart to wizards, which is operated with a bet on it, is broken. I need to heal that, but I think it will take some time.”
He explains the details to his disciples.
Actually, since they are not of this world, they couldn’t reach the ‘enemy’.
He paid a price because he wanted to reach it by force.
Thanks to that, I am now in this state, and now I am weaker than the warriors.
After that, I stopped talking for a while and looked at the disciples.
“I heard that Master was someone who could not fight hostility from the start… ?”
“No, this is nonsense. Master no more….”
“This may not last long, or it may last longer than expected. That’s why your Grand Master scolded me yesterday. You warned me, but I ended up using it and harming my body myself. He was a bad guy.”
“Master….”
“I felt sorry for leaving the work to you. So this time I tried to help you guys move forward together, but somehow this teacher seems to have to stop for a while. I’m sorry, disciples.”
After saying that, I lowered my head.
Really, with all my heart, I felt very sorry for my disciples.
There are still more enemies left, but now there’s nothing I can do.
“As I said, I can’t help anymore. I can’t come forward Even so, I intend to challenge you guys to fight. A really bad sign. It’s because I’m standing behind and telling others to step in. If you have any complaints about him….”
“No.”
The first to speak was Iris, not Garam or Xenia.
He looks at me with a determined face and continues his conversation.
“I’m rather happy.”
“Are you the youngest?”
“What are you talking about?!”
“Sisters. Master wants to rely on us. That’s what you believe in. Until now, if we had just tried to live up to Master’s expectations, now all that remains is to show the fruits of our efforts and live up to that belief.”
After saying that, Iris looked at me.
“We will live up to that trust and that expectation. Master. I will definitely show you that you can do well without a master. So that I can confidently say that there is absolutely nothing to worry about.”
“… Me too. Master. If you really say that to us, this is not something to be dissatisfied with. Rather, I will answer that I am happy. Doesn’t that mean they view us as beings that we can trust and rely on?”
Following that, Lily flashes her gentle smile.
“… I don’t know anything else, and I’ll make sure Master takes over for us and we won’t get hurt again. Let it go. This time, I will definitely defeat the hostility without difficulty.”
“Please trust and watch over me, Master. We will get through it wisely.”
I was able to smile when I finally heard what Xenia and Garam had to say.
These are still disciples who have some unreliable corners for me.
At the same time, they were also warriors who had the duty and power to protect this world.
– Wait a minute. –
Okay, just a minute. Please do me a favor, warriors.
