Chapter 19.
#19.
Puff.
Putting on an old hooded cloak, I hurriedly moved.
The name of this city is Sasgauni.
It is said to be the second largest city in the Kingdom of Argentina.
Because it was such a big city, I could still see many people even in the early morning.
If you openly show your angel wings in a place like this, it will definitely be dangerous.
At worst, the Emperor might find out where I am.
So I needed a way to hide my wings.
That was the hooded cloak I was wearing right now.
‘I picked it up from the road in a hurry, so it’s very old, but…’
But it was covering my wings perfectly.
If someone else sees it, it will look like you’re wearing a backpack behind your back.
You wouldn’t even imagine having wings on my back.
Isn’t this the perfect camouflage?
After praising myself inwardly, I giggled alone and moved on.
It was then.
Growling–!
A roaring whistle was heard from the ship.
‘Come to think of it…’
I haven’t eaten a single meal since yesterday morning.
Sniff.
At the same time, I can feel the delicious smell.
What kind of food is it?
His mouth was salivating.
‘Is it a chicken? No. It could be pork.’
It was the smell of grilled meat.
No, even sashimi was good.
Everything is good for me right now.
Even if it’s filthy, tasteless, and ugly looking food.
I felt like I could enjoy this freedom and happiness of being able to choose my own food as a sauce.
“Heungheung.”
So, I followed the smell with joyful steps.
Did you walk like that for a while?
A store caught my eye.
It was a chicken skewer shop.
At that time, as if the preparations for the business had just finished, several chicken skewers with seaweed flowing out were on display.
“Ah…!”
When I saw that, I exclaimed.
Damn it.
Saliva in his mouth ran down his neck.
This is it.
This morning.
I hurriedly ran there and shouted with my tiptoe raised.
“Hey, hey!”
“Huh?”
At my cry, the man who was frying chicken skewers inside turned his back.
“…Are you an adventurer? What happened?”
“Ah…”
You called me an adventurer, right?
Not a slave?
I was so happy for no reason that tears welled up in my eyes.
Everything was felt through the skin.
This air.
This smell.
This reaction.
Everyone was screaming that I was free.
“—-!”
I clenched my fists and let out a silent cheer.
“…?”
Then the man at the yakitori restaurant looked at me with strange eyes.
Oops.
This wasn’t the case.
I came to my senses at that gaze and pointed at the chicken skewers with my hand.
“Well, that’s just one yakitori… No, two… No, just three!”
“Chicken skewers..? Are you saying this Hmm…The price is three shillings. Will there be any money?”
“Everything, of course!”
I nodded and opened the wrapping cloth Ariera gave me.
Inside the cloth was a heap of gold coins.
I roughly counted the chicken skewers before they came to the store, and the number was about 150 gold.
I was thinking of using this money to solve everything.
“Here.”
After looking at the gold coins for a while, I took out one and handed it to the uncle.
“…”
The man who received the gold coin looked at me for a moment.
Why are you looking at me?
Feeling uncomfortable about something, I grabbed the hood and pressed it down.
Then the sticky eyes of the old man fell.
“Here is change and chicken skewers.”
“Wow, wow…”
Along with those words, silver coins fall into the hands of the excellent people.
I hurriedly put it inside the wrapping cloth and took the yakitori.
“Oh, goodbye.”
Then, he bowed his head to the chicken skewer man and left his seat.
No, I was trying to escape.
My steps stopped at the voice of the chicken skewer man.
“Hey. Know this if you are a novice adventurer. This city is not a woman-friendly place.”
“Yes, yes?”
When I turned my head at those words, the man had already entered the store.
‘It’s not a city that is kind to women.’
I felt uncomfortable.
‘Let’s be careful.’
I don’t know what the old man meant by that, but there was nothing wrong with that in mind.
I took out the magic stone from the cloth and put it in my pocket just in case.
Now I feel safe.
As I felt more at ease, the scent of grilled chicken skewers tickled my nose.
I wanted to take a big bite of this right now.
But.
After looking around, I quickly entered a corner alley.
Then he crouched down in a corner and took off his hat.
“Wow…”
Delicious-looking chicken skewers.
After confirming that no one was around, I opened my mouth.
Then, he took a big bite of the delicious chicken skewers.
“Umm…!”
Flavor and greasiness spread throughout the mouth.
It was so delicious.
It was on a different level from the food the emperor had given me so far.
Of course, the taste of the bread and soup made by the best chef in the empire was far superior.
But I didn’t have a choice in that food.
The emperor decided, and the emperor’s attendant threw it to me.
I just took it and ate it.
Because dogs had no right to choose their food.
“Heuk…!”
Tears flowed like an idiot.
It’s just chicken skewers.
“Drink it..!”
It tasted more delicious than anything I had ever eaten in my life.
“Black..!”
Tuktuk.
Shedding tears, she bit into the chicken skewers again.
It was also delicious.
It was so delicious.
Well well.
The chicken skewers went into my mouth over and over again.
I thought over and over again.
‘Will I be able to enjoy this happiness forever?’
How many times can you chew happiness like eating chicken skewers right now?
You can do it.
My happiness.
This is the beginning.
I stood up, clutching the chicken skewers in my hands.
That was the moment.
“Kkeuh…?!”
My heart burned hot.
It seems to have swallowed the molten iron whole.
The heat that spread from my chest seemed to melt not only my esophagus, but also my lungs.
It felt like being roasted alive.
Dalgrak—!
In that pain, the two chicken skewers he was holding dearly tumbled to the floor.
“hehehe..!”
I dropped the chicken skewers and grabbed my chest with my empty hand.
Every time my heart beat, a sharp pain came like being stabbed by a knife.
The front of his eyes were stained bright red.
“Ha ha…!”
It hurt so much.
Tears flowed from his eyes like a waterfall.
Dig–!
At the same time, a bright red light began to radiate from his chest.
“Ahhh…!”
I screamed at him and fell to the floor.
It’s hot.
Too hot.
All the blood seems to have turned into boiling molten iron.
Every blood vessel became hot, and pain came in like a single needle piercing every nociceptive cell.
The cause was that light.
A light emanating from the chest.
My mind went blank.
“Ugh…!”
I think this light won’t hurt me.
No matter how savagely I tried to block it with my hand and scratch it again, the light did not fade.
“Huh.. Please..!”
Rolling across the floor.
The chicken skewers under me were a mess of dust.
It was a chicken skewer that had already fallen on the floor and could no longer be eaten.
And that.
Me too.
“Keah hahahaha..!”
Rolling across the floor, dust and trash were all over his body.
‘What did I do so wrong?’
Is it impossible to enjoy even a moment of happiness?
Tears welled up in my eyes, making them cloudy.
Along with him, his body, which had been writhing in pain, gradually began to sag.
Took.
His hand, which had been scratching his chest, fell to the floor.
“Ugh…”
As if someone had cut off his mental cords with scissors, his body’s strength was drained so quickly that it was futile.
It seemed like something was sucking my strength away like a mosquito.
“Sigh..!”
Miraculously, the pain disappeared when all the strength was gone.
But for some reason, the light didn’t think about fading.
I was angry.
“What! For what reason…!”
I managed to escape from the emperor.
Now you are free.
But what else?
What else is blocking my path?
It was so unfortunate.
It was unfair and unfair again.
Grief flowed through his chest and wet the floor as tears.
In the reality where I could do nothing but cry, I wanted to swing my arms and hit the ground.
But I couldn’t even do that because I didn’t have the strength.
“Huh…”
The sound of crying echoed through the empty alley.
No, there was someone.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jerk off.
Along with the sound of footsteps, drawing paper fell over my body.
“Ah…”
I sighed.
I heard it at the same time.
“I found it.”
A woman’s voice.
* * *
Ragrasha’s red eyes flashed.
Her dark red blood floated through her air in response.
That’s for a while.
“The location of Iris.”
As Lagrasha commanded in her cold voice, the blood began to clump together.
Like a colony of ants, the blood that roamed freely without rules formed a sphere.
A continent is drawn in it.
It gradually grew and a country began to appear.
“The Kingdom of Argentina.”
Ragrasha muttered.
That seems to be the correct answer.
The sluggish blood began to flow again.
And even closer.
Then, I started drawing more and more detailed terrain.
The mountain is drawn.
As the river was drawn, the exterior of the castle next to it began to be drawn.
‘Just a little more…’
This is not enough.
Once the location is completely specified, then Iris’s body can be controlled.
Then everything will be over.
Iris flies on her own and brings her to this place.
Then.
“…”
The emperor glanced to the side.
Small scissors, leash and handcuffs.
With that I will cut off the wings and put a leash around my neck.
Her arms and legs will be handcuffed, and Iris will be chained up in my bedroom and monitored.
Whether she slept or did her errands in her bathroom, everything.
‘You can’t run away from me, Iris.’
Ragrasha let out a chuckle.
In between.
The city that had been drawn by blood gradually began to take shape.
‘It’s a pretty big city.’
It was still not completely known, but it was only a matter of time before we could find out its location.
It must have been.
“…What!”
Ragrasha vomited her flagship.
At the same time, the sphere of blood that had been formed exploded.
Chew–!
In the aftermath, bright red blood was smeared on Ragrasha’s face.
She has obsessive compulsive disorder.
The blood on her body was so horrible and disgusting.
But more than that.
The further impact hit Ragrasha’s head hard.
Ragrasha muttered in a vain voice.
“Did the blood oath… Break?”
Fluff.
Ragrasha sat down on the floor.
