EP16. Cadeus’s Spear (5)
After that, it was a breeze.
The rumor that Ninevea’s famous black snakehead is dueling over a woman quickly spread throughout the city.
A considerable crowd of spectators gathered in Nineveh’s public square, and there was no turning back.
“Why did things happen like this…”
It was like a dream to have had a happy time eating lobster earlier. The most absurd fact is that the person who actually raised the matter has a very calm attitude.
“Aren’t you worried about Elsa?”
“Hmm? If you win, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
“No, what if I lose?!”
“Couldn’t she be confident?”
“Of course not…”
Apart from that, shouldn’t we think about what if? What would you do if you lost, did you blindly propose a deal?
Elsa looked at Sean, who was sighing, and she just teased him with a mischievous smile.
“I believe in you too. Well, if her wife doesn’t trust her husband, who will she trust?”
“·······.”
Elsa is on her left, but her gaze keeps glancing to her right.
Surely, Calderon must have escaped a long time ago, but for some reason, is it because of the simple energy that I keep feeling the chill?
Seeing Levy’s shadow cast over her face, Shawn exclaimed in fright.
“Don’t keep saying weird things! Others misunderstand!?”
“Whoops, there is no one who doesn’t know that you and I are a couple.”
“They aren’t married?!”
Obviously, I kept adding words to clear up the misunderstanding, but the longer the story went on, the stronger the chill. If this happens, truly unexpected disasters may occur.
Elsa also wondered if she had completely forgotten about that, she said as she stroked Levi’s hair.
“My lady is upset about what happened. Hurry up and release your anger.”
“····Isseng. Don’t call me a lady!”
Levy glared at her, nervously slapping Elsa on her hand. It wasn’t that she disliked the word girl.
However, in the course of the rumors being distorted, Levy, who was next to her, was known as Sean’s younger sister, so the expression Elsa’s lady was used to tease.
In other words, Elsa still seemed unwilling to stop playing this prank. Rather, she was teasing Levi more.
“It looks like the audience has gathered, but let’s stop chatting and start.”
The pirate, who had been waiting leisurely across from her with her arms crossed, stood up and said. Behind him was a crowd of men who were quite dirty, filthy, and savage. Anyone who saw it could easily guess that it was his subordinate pirates.
Hearing that, Shawn also walked forward with a serious expression. Finally, when the two players faced each other, the reaction of the audience around them was intense.
The reaction was split in two. Pirates and sailors cheered for the black fish and booed Sean.
On the other hand, the young women and pirate-hating civilians supported Sean and despised the pirates.
In particular, the background of the duel was very stimulating, so it was a fight that drew everyone’s attention.
“Take care of your wife. hehehe!”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. She’s too much for a guy like you.”
Many women screamed in cheers at Sean’s provocation. Isn’t it a scene that every woman has dreamed of at least once?
But only one. She wasn’t happy at all, but there was also a girl who was far away from it, but no one knew who she was.
Elsa, who was slightly sidelong, smiled and shouted at Sean with all her might.
“Honey! Cheer up! Don’t lose to pirates like that!”
Sean looked at Elsa with a bewildered look. What is surprising is that everyone in the room is waiting for an answer to come out of his mouth. Even pirates and Levi’s.
Shaun’s eyes met Levy’s glowing eyes for a moment, then he flinched and opened his mouth cautiously.
“····That, yes. I will win.”
“Not enough! Please reassure me with sweet words!”
Are you trying to see the end? I was afraid that if I continued like this, all the relationships I had built up to this point would be headed for catastrophe.
It may not have anything to do with it, but why does it suddenly remind me of the scene where Levy used her magic to blow her ice pick at Wendy?
Ignoring Sean, I decided to duel the pirate right away.
But isn’t this ignorant pirate brat provoking with a laughable smile?
“Why but? Could it be that you are not afraid? Come on, reassure your wife. hahahaha!”
It was an atmosphere where a duel wouldn’t start without spitting out the words. Finally, after running his hands over his face and washing his face dry, Shawn exclaimed in an evil voice.
“····Wait! I will definitely win and come back for you!”
“Please call me by the nickname you used to call me!”
A nickname? It was getting more and more gradual. I don’t even call my real lover Levi by nickname, but calling him by nickname for such an absurd play.
Unsure of what to call it, Sean hesitantly called it with a lack of confidence.
“… Honey?”
“Issang!”
I think I heard familiar anger from somewhere, but it must be an illusion. However, it seems that Elsa is still not satisfied.
“Other than that, there’s a nickname we used to whisper when we were alone!”
“I will go crazy.”
Shaun muttered in secret for a moment, then muttered after thinking for a long time.
“····My love?”
“Hmm, not bad.”
“It seems that the tone has changed somehow.”
As soon as she questioned her pirate, Elsa immediately switched to her acting tone, waving her hand and exclaiming.
“Thanks to you, I felt relieved! Thank you, my love!”
“·······.”
Sean had no choice but to keep an eye on Levy. Contrary to expectations, the girl had a peaceful smile on her lips. And that made him even more frightened.
What kind of ending will he face after this duel? I decided not to think about the future right now. After all, there is nothing good about thinking ahead of the terrible darkness of the abyss.
“Are childish love confessions finally over? It was very heartbreaking just to hear it.”
“I will never look at you. You damned bald-headed squid.”
Shaun decided to channel his anger on another target. On the other hand, he made fun of people’s physical characteristics, and Danny Pirate also harbored formidable anger.
The duel between the two could never have a good ending.
“When the gloves fall, it’s the beginning. Baby.”
“It’s classic.”
Shaun and the man glared at each other, and as soon as the glove fell off, they both ran forward.
The hook in his right hand closed the distance towards the boy’s neck without hesitation.
However, Shaun’s sword, which was pulled from his waist at some point, immediately stopped the hook from advancing.
A contest of strength continued for a while.
‘This guy, what power…!’
From noble mtl dot com.
Unlike his size, the one pushed back was the pirate. Confused by Sean’s unexpected power, the pirate immediately changed his plan and walked the bridge.
I don’t know anything else, but the battle experience is yours.
The pirate, who was so confident, tried to take the battle to his advantage with his skill.
However, instead of stepping back calmly, Shawn lowered his balance and swung his sword.
I barely escaped being hurt by backing away in panic. However, the boy’s sword just grazed the clothes, and without the slightest mercy, the fabric was torn sharply.
If you allow the attack, you will be defeated. The pirates began to feel uneasy when they realized that the difference in their skills was greater than they thought.
Don’t panic. A pirate always has the worst possible move in mind.
The time has come to use the stinger you’ve been keeping in your back pocket. First, as before, pretend to aim for the guy with a hook, induce a contest of strength, and then immediately throw a poison dart at him.
It is a very strong anesthetic poison of jellyfish, so any opponent cannot lift a finger the moment it is hit. Besides, the stinger is so small that no one will notice it except for the men nearby.
The pirate, who made a plan and laughed meanly, immediately gave another strong hook.
Sean, who had been calmly examining the scene, reacted in the same way as before. Seeing Sean try to block it with his sword without avoiding it, the pirate was confident of victory in his heart.
Denggen.
And the pirate’s hook was cut in vain.
“…”
“If you surrender, your life will be spared.”
At some point, the pirate, who had been staring blankly at the sword attached to his neck, slowly raised his hands up and spat out.
“…Surrender.”
A moment later, as the situation was assessed, thunderous cheers resounded in the square. It was such a neat victory that even his subordinates could not bear to be distracted from the battle and became dumb with honey.
Undaunted by the joy of his victory, Shaun calmly put his sword into the scabbard of his waistband.
“You did a great job! Honey!”
Elsa couldn’t believe she was acting.
Sean’s expression collapsed in an instant.
“····Uh, yes. Thank you····?”
“Thank you for fighting and risking your life for me…”
It was a very beautiful scene. The flow of the story was so touching that even tough sailors who always admired manliness would have tears in their eyes.
It was no wonder that the audience naturally wanted the best finish.
“Kiss me! Kiss me!”
“Come on, answer me with a kiss!”
“Are you going to leave a woman who wants love alone?!”
Unsurprisingly, Shawn did not comply with their request. It was as hard as a stone statue, but it did not show any movement.
Actually, it hasn’t been a problem so far. People’s demands were just because they misunderstood that they were a real couple. It was a reaction that would have come out enough if you didn’t know the truth.
But this may be a real problem. It was quite a problem for Elsa, who was listening, to suddenly close her eyes and slowly bring her face closer to Sean.
Shawn pulled his head back in fright, but Elsa’s lips were still moving forward.
And in the end…
“Shaun is mine!!!”
