I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess chapter 76

76 – Imperial Capital Ethelmarion (4)

The gloomy sky cast a greyness all day long.

The rainwater seems to be pouring down, and the dirt on the road starts to cry.

A boy coughed in the rain.

Rainwater so cold that it wouldn’t have been surprising if it turned into snow.

Every time a drop of water hit the boy, his body temperature was lost, but he could not hide from the rain.

It was because he had something he had to do.

“Angel, angel. Are you listening?”

– I’m listening, good boy. What are you curious about?

Clumsy hand gestures broke the ground.

Even when hidden pebbles stung his feet and broken tree branches cut his flesh, the boy did not stop.

Soon, a hole the size of a human head appeared in the ruined garden.

“Am I, after all, an unlucky child? “I see something ominous.”

– That’s not true. You just have a little more friends than others. Do you remember the hunter in the village?

“Of course. “He’s the guy with the blue tattoo on his left arm.”

– You’re smart. Then do you remember that the hunter had a hawk as a friend?

“Hawk! I saw it too. “It was really cool to see it flapping its brown wings and crying.”

When the story about animals came up, the boy smiled brightly.

The boy was much more familiar with animals than with people.

Until now, everyone who has treated him kindly has been animals, and everyone who has treated him kindly has been human.

The rain kept falling and water got into my eyes.

Every time that happened, the boy wiped his face with his arm.

– What you see are just some unusual friends like that hawk. Just because others can’t see it, you can be a friend, right? Rather, they are children whom you must be friends with. I’m sure I’ll be lonely without you.

“But she said Mom was sinister. So did her dad.”

– It’s really sad, but not everyone in the world is as good as you. Look. What those people did.

The bright expression did not last long.

When the boy looked down again, the puppy with golden fur was dead.

It was a puppy that I had raised with great care.

As much as she was not loved herself, she poured all her affection into this child. She named her

Leo, and when she had food, she always shared it.

Perhaps because he knew he was taking care of him, Leo also followed the boy well. He even greeted me in a hoarse voice.

Leo, who was like that, died today.

Did you scream before you died?

Even if it were an animal that couldn’t speak, it wouldn’t have been without fear.

Even looking at the bizarrely twisted neck, the question was not resolved.

I could only guess that it was a painful death.

– He’s a good kid. Do you think your dog did something wrong? To the point where you have to go through something like this?

“No! That’s absolutely not the case. “There is nothing wrong with Leo.”

I wanted to at least return my neck to its original state before laying it down.

I don’t know how on earth I broke it, but I couldn’t return it to its original state.

I couldn’t touch it because I thought the head would fall off if I did so.

– Yes. Bad people tricked you. The ‘ghosts’ you see are just a few mischievous friends. But I never play a mean prank on you.

“I see…… Thank you, angel. After all, the only angel I have is an angel.”

– The people of this village and your parents have been mean to you, but I am always on your side.

The boy covered himself with dirt.

Every time a lump of dirt covered Leo, the boy shed tears.

Maybe it’s not tears.

Because it’s raining now. You might be mistaken because you got wet from the rain.

However, the boy’s eyes and heart hurt.

– Oh my, an uninvited guest has arrived.

The ‘angel’ tapped the boy on the shoulder.

Even though the angel was invisible, he sometimes called the boy like this.

When the boy looked back, someone was crawling on the muddy floor.

The boy looked at his man with sad eyes.

To be exact, I was looking underneath the man’s body.

The rocks I brought for Leo were dirty.

“Eh, Eric.”

“Someone said it was Mr. Brown. What’s going on here?

“Please…… Please save me. Please.”

Unfortunately, the man. Brown’s wish was one that even a boy could not grant.

It’s easy to break a toy, but it’s hard to fix it.

His body was already in an irreparable state.

If his legs had been fine, he wouldn’t have had to crawl, but it seemed like Uncle Brown didn’t know what state his body was in.

A person whose waist is cut off cannot be alive.

No matter how young the boy was, he knew that much.

Moreover, the angel said.

They say that all the people in this village are ‘bad people.’

“Angel. “I guess my friends missed it while playing with it.”

– It seems so. Then wouldn’t it be a good boy to give it back to its friend?

“It’s okay. “It’s already coming there.”

The boy smiled brightly.

“It’s okay to take it back.”

“Ugh, no! Please, please save me. Ahhhhh!”

– It’s also amazing.

Uncle Brown went back the way he came.

When he came, he crawled, but when he came back, it was an instant.

He left a long handprint where he was roughly dragged.

A person has 10 fingers. And his marks were 11.

Why is there one more? Ah, that’s because I have brains.

The boy covered the dirt for the last time.

We covered Leo with a thick blanket to keep him from getting cold, and piled stones on top of it so he wouldn’t be confused when he came to visit later.

The boy on his knees put his hands together and prayed.

“God, please don’t let our Leo get sick in his next life. “I would be so happy if you could be reborn and become my friend.”

– God will definitely hear your prayers.

“I’m so glad I have an angel.”

“Each!”

– It seems like it rained too much. Wouldn’t it be better to go home and rest?

“Ugh, that would be better, right? “I will do whatever the angel tells me.”

– That’s right. You’ve never had a bad time doing what I told you to do. A child who listens well is a good child. I care about you very much, good boy.

“Yes. “I will be a good boy.”

The boy walked briskly.

It was always a quiet village, but that wasn’t necessarily the case today.

A black silhouette was swaying throughout the village.

Even the quiet villagers were particularly noisy.

It was because the boy’s ‘friends’ were having fun.

An arm was rolling around on the floor. It was an arm with a blue tattoo.

I could also hear the screams of the villagers.

The boy didn’t care. Because they had nothing to do with him anymore.

– Kyahahahahaha!

– Give me that too! Give me that too!

– Is this guy crying? Is this guy smiling? Is this guy crying?

– Looks like fun! I’m happy too! Are you happy too?

An unknown person was dancing back and forth in the sky.

It was so far away that I couldn’t see the face clearly.

The boy’s friends enjoyed stealing people from each other, sometimes giving them away, as if they were playing ball.

Then a fight broke out.

Quad Deuk! Something tore in the sky.

From Noble mtl dot com

Blood poured down on Eric’s head, and a familiar face appeared.

– There was blood on Eric!

– He did it! I didn’t do that!

– I did it! He didn’t do that!

He was the boy’s father.

My father said he had a cursed child and he was drunk every day.

He hit the boy whenever he smelled of alcohol. Angel called his dad a bad person.

When he saw his father’s face, the boy’s eyes became glassy.

“I told you not to talk to those damn things. You were wrong. You were wrong. Don’t hit them. If you were wrong, you should be punished. You drank too. Why are you even doing this? It’s all because you gave birth to a cursed child. I should have killed you during the league, but then this is mine. It’s a mistake. We decided to raise them…… “

– Is it a child? It’s cold outside. I have to stop going in.

“Oh, sorry! I guess I was thinking about something else for a moment. “I’ll just go in now.”

– Yes. I have to leave here tomorrow, so get some sleep.

The angel added quietly.

– I will organize all the future matters.

[Northern Mountains Garrison Report]

# Rating: Important

# Discoverer: Ranger ‘Zimmer’ of 3-2 Post

# How it was discovered: Discovered during a reconnaissance mission

……

# Report contents

– An incident occurred near the northern mountain range in which a village of about 30 households was wiped out.

– Judging from the blood traces at the time of the incident, it is assumed that all village members were killed.

– Considering the fact that there are no bodies left behind and the traces of destruction are not believed to be human, it is reasonable to view it as the work of a monster.

– Check red feathers throughout the village.

……

#Special details

– All buildings in the village were destroyed, but only one house was preserved in good condition.

– Considering that the house was located in a corner, it is assumed that it was not attacked because there were no people inside.

– Additional searches were conducted as there was a possibility that there was one survivor.

– The survivor is presumed to be a boy based on the size of the footprints and the extent of the dents.

– A platoon of rangers searched the area, but no further tracking was possible, and it was tentatively concluded that he was killed by another monster.

# Conclusion

– It has been confirmed that the high-risk demon beast ‘Red Feather’ has begun attacking nearby private houses.

– Request to raise the risk level of ‘Red Feather’

– Request for subjugation order of ‘Red Feather’
