51 – Memories of a Drunk
“….”
My head hurts as if it would break. I feel a burning thirst in my throat.
Enlil groaned and slowly rose from the bed.
Then he checks the surrounding scenery and lets out a sigh.
“Ah….”
The structure of the room is blurry but familiar nonetheless.
It hasn’t changed much from when I left. It was the same place as when I was a child.
It seems that the villagers managed to hope that he will return one day.
I really feel like I have returned to my hometown.
Although it is not the place where you were born, there are people who gave you a new life.
If you don’t call this place home, what would you call it?
A water bottle is placed by the bedside, as if it had been prepared for drinking.
Enlil hurriedly poured a glass of water and filled it down his throat.
When cool water fills the inside, the cloudy head finally becomes clear.
As a bonus, the conversations from last night were also included.
“When there are only two of us, I take off the title of Instructor… Can I call you by my first name?”
“Well then… Leone? Boo, can I call you? Did you give me permission? Leone?!”
“Then, Leon! Can I lie on my knees for a bit?!”
“I’m not drunk either!”
“….”
Enlil got up and fell back on the bed.
And then I blankly stared at the ceiling and then whimpered! And pulled over the blanket.
“Yaaa!!”
I’m not drunk, I’m not drunk! You were so drunk!
The guy who barely drank alcohol took everything he gave him, so of course he got drunk!
If that’s the case, I’ll go in and wash up and go to sleep, why are you there next to the instructor….
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, Enlil. Do whatever you want. Be careful instead. The villagers here may not think of anything, but when you go back, there are overflowing people who will say all kinds of things with just one thing.”
‘Thinking about it… I don’t think Instructor Leon didn’t particularly like it either… ?’
Called. Obviously called by name. Called Leon. Forgot the instructor’s title.
Maybe he was drunk and changed his memories of the time to his liking?
No, no. It wasn’t that messed up. This is for sure.
At his own request, Rion clearly replied, ‘Do whatever you want.’
“Rion. Leon….”
Wow, I must be crazy. Really commit Just because you drank a little alcohol!
I’m glad the results are good though. No, it’s a good thing!
It’s a little closer. So that that person doesn’t get far…
“… This will leave a scar. Just get some treatment.”
A memory that suddenly comes to mind, the wound left on Leon’s arm.
Because he is the one who uses the sword, he immediately recognized that the injury was a sword wound.
It is a part that can never be produced by oneself. It must be assumed that someone else paid for it.
Rion said the wound was caused while preparing for swordsmanship.
That means you got injured while sparring with someone.
Who in the world did such a wound and didn’t say anything?
“Right. Come to think of it, the owner of the tower also got an effective hit in that area.”
A word I just unknowingly uttered in the spirit of alcohol. It crawls out of the unconscious.
Why did he say that at that moment?
Unbelievable imagination, something without even the slightest possibility.
What I just said could have sounded completely different to Leone.
‘… Still, it’s rare. How is it right there?’
I’m really curious when you think like this.
Who the hell made the same attack in the same place as you?
I think I’ll have to look for it when I go back to the academy.
You never know. Might be of some help to you.
Rion is overwhelming in terms of mana practice, but swordsmanship… Well.
Didn’t even Rion say that he was injured while handling the sword?
Smart-
“If you wake up, get ready and come out. The villagers are waiting.”
Enlil’s body springs up at the sound of a voice coming from beyond the door.
When the hell? Since when have you been waiting beyond the door?
“School, Instructor?”
“… Yesterday, I called you by name. Are you sober now?”
“That, that’s it! So I….”
“Whether it was the courage to borrow alcohol, or whether it’s going to continue, whatever it is, come out quickly. The children in the village were really just impatient to hear your story.”
Come to think of it, I certainly have similar memories.
I have never seen them before, but they have brighter eyes than anyone else.
Perhaps he was growing up listening to the story of Enlil to his parents.
There is a really great warrior in our village, and he will come back one day.
For the sake of the world, fierce battles with beings of chaos every time.
Today, armed with courage and sacrificial spirit, vigorously wielding a sword, something like that.
So when he came face to face with the children, Enlil couldn’t help but laugh.
It seems like he said he would tell the hero’s story tomorrow.
The trap was that he had completely forgotten about it until now.
“If you say you don’t remember anything, the kids will cry out loud.”
“Lord, I’ll prepare and go right away! Please wait a little longer!”
This fool, fool. As expected, I shouldn’t have taken it and drank it like it was given to me!
Nagging at himself yesterday, Enlil hurriedly got out of bed.
*
“… So that’s it. Because this older sister swings her sword like this!”
“Hiyaaa!!”
Enlil had a knack for telling stories.
At first, he was just a parent, but soon he came to his senses and told his story.
Not only the children, but also their parents, and even Leon were listening intently.
To be precise, I should say that Rion is retracing her past with Enlil.
‘Come to think of it, it was like that then.’
‘Hey. It’s not that. At that time, it was entirely me who watched.’
‘I couldn’t have been scared. Because I’ve never been sincere.’
You wouldn’t even dream that the main character of the work you are working hard on is right in front of you.
I wondered what if I exaggerated or reduced it, but that’s not the case either.
Should I just say that the problem is just telling the facts that you know wrong?
“Then finally, for the first time! On the arm of the owner of the tower like this!”
Leone flinched involuntarily at the gesture of her swinging her sword.
It feels like her arms are starting to hurt again.
If it had been a little deeper, it would have been a real big deal, maybe?
“Sister! Please punish that bastard!”
No… I’m the owner of the tower, but I haven’t done anything bad.
The magic beasts who ran out of the tower messed around with it.
“Cheer up, sister! I could!”
It’s hard for me too, kids. It is said that he is the owner of the tower, but in reality he was confined in it and forced to become a hermit and loner for over 100 years. It’s a little, no, a little too unfair.
“Thank you, kids. Ah! Excuse me! Can you see the one sitting over there? Leon… Instructor! You are the one who helps me Thanks to him, I was able to fight the owner of the tower in a real sense! Now, applause!”
At Enlil’s sudden words, the children waaa! And clap.
I’m not joking or teasing you. Enlil is seriously doing that now.
Should I say that he is spending his inner feelings of gratitude with his children?
The problem is that Rion is both Rion and the owner of the tower.
Thanks to that, even while receiving applause, it was said that something was very strange.
“… What is embarrassing applause?”
Wow! After barely tearing off the thing that surrounded it once.
Rion grumbled so much at Enlil who sneaked up next to her.
If you get applause, don’t you feel sorry for the warriors who died in the tower?
It is said that he died at the hands of demon beasts, but he himself did nothing.
In any case, the tower must be considered to be under Leon’s control after all.
“Why? It’s nice to see. If you look at it like this, you really hate getting attention.”
Of course I can’t help but hate it. Then, if his true identity is revealed, who cares?
“What? So it’s not you that’s embarrassing, it’s me, so it doesn’t matter?”
“Eh? You never meant that!”
“I can’t. I tried to be patient, but I can’t go any further than this.”
A little revenge for the drunken clinging to you yesterday.
In order to unleash her original curiosity, Leone headed to the village elders.
“Old man. Unlike now, Enlil used to be very troublesome. Is that true?”
“Huh? How did you know that don’t talk How surprised I was when I went all the way to the forest where monsters might come out to catch a bear!”
“Lee, Leon?!”
“There are so many other things! I wonder why I was so afraid of that lightning strike….”
“Climbing up a tree to become a bird and then being locked there for three hours and crying!”
“There was also a time when I blew up an entire small warehouse while playing with fire. Cancer cancer….”
What is this? What happened to you, so you can come out sober?
When the bewildered Leone looks at Enlil, she lowers her head, saying, ‘Kee-ying!’
Oh my God. Unlike now, she was a great troublemaker when she was young.
“I see now that you are really….”
She was such a great guy, Leon, who was about to say that, stopped.
“Why is that?”
“….”
I hope I feel the wrong way. I hope nothing ugly and shady will come to this warm place.
Anyway, the world seemed to want to f*ck him up until the end.
“Enlil. It’s a witch That, too, is quite a number.”
These aren’t the ones roaming around. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have noticed.
They came here with only one purpose: this village.
“Ah… !”
I wouldn’t know if it was just one or two monsters, but it’s very dangerous when many of them attack.
No matter how enlil it is, it is difficult to win a quick match against a large number of monsters.
In the meantime, if even one of them invades the village, a terrible disaster will unfold.
‘If it wasn’t for Enlil, I would have just used the power of the main body to drive them all out.’
Lion clicked his tongue and presented the most reasonable opinion.
“Let’s entice. As far away as possible from your hometown, from your village.”
