53. Shadows in the Wind (2)
On the other hand, Ryu Derek, who was chasing after Baek Yu-seol and Hong Bi-yeon, hid from behind and could not erase his slightly surprised expression.
‘What’s so fast?’
If you were an ordinary freshman, you would encounter monsters or monsters in persona on the way or be swept away by extra stories.
It would be normal to waste time standing up.
However, Baek Yu-seol was progressing in the direction of clearing all the myths and legends it encountered in the shortest time or finding a shortcut and ignoring it.
The speed was so fast that if I didn’t chase after it with my eyes wide open, I would have missed it.
‘I’m pretty sure he’s crazy as the rumors say.’
He was well aware of the fact that he was an exceptionally outstanding first-year student. But it would be like that. It is only after seeing it in person that you can see how crazy Baek Yu-seol has a history.
I was able to realize for myself.
As a senior, I tried to give ‘a little help’ to Baek Yu-seol if there was even a slight gap, but this situation, where there was no need for that, was not very pleasing to Ryu Derek.
‘no. It’s still okay.’
He stared into the air, looking at the guideline message.
[The Tale of a Certain Yokai]
It is certainly. Baek Yoo-seol is still me
I couldn’t even get close to the gi. It is questionable whether the analysis of the phenomenon was properly completed in the first place.
‘The legends and legends that occur here are related to the place.’
For example, let’s say that there is a myth about walking around in a city wearing a red mask. Can such a ghost story be transferred to the forest or the countryside?
It can’t be.
Although it may be a few stories that are independent of any location, most stories revolve around a specific place.
In other words, the theory of Baek Yoo is the biggest factor in Persona Gate.
In order to find the tale for Lear, I had to wander around looking for a ‘slum village’ rather than a downtown area like this.
‘This story… … It is believed to have occurred in a rural area.’
Lyuderik slowly read the forgotten story in the guideline message.
[The villagers saw the leaves falling and said it was the season of fireworks. ■It was a bit unusual for Lee to hear. It was because it was too chilly for the fireworks to bloom in the fall when the leaves fall.]
There were still a few letters missing because I couldn’t fully interpret it, but I had no problems reading it at all.
‘Baek Yuseo. Couldn’t you have interpreted it to this extent?’
It can’t be.
The Ryu Derek family is the successor to the Ryu family who attacked the 9-risk Persona Gate over the past 20 years.
It was enough to say that the interpretation of Persona was well-done, so no matter how good Baek Yu’s theory is, he can’t have a better calculation formula than himself.
there will be no
Even Hong Bi-yeon and Van Di-yeon, who are called geniuses, have yet to come up with a guideline message, don’t they already fully understand the ending?
‘Like that further, Yuseol Baek.’
Let this old man help you.
‘Well, but why are you going so slowly all of a sudden?’
Baek Yu-seol, who had been in a hurry up until now, for some reason slowed down and walked side by side with Hong Bi-yeon to break through the gate leisurely.
No, I’m not really relaxed at all.
Previously, I felt like I was forced to pass through the story precariously, but now I feel like I am attacking in the most stable and perfect way possible.
‘… … It’s definitely great.’
On the contrary, the reason why the current rumors of Baek Yu seem more terrifying than before is probably because Ryu Derek was a prudent scholar.
‘But waiting is boring.’
As I watched the little pigs contemplating something with Hong Bi-yeon face-to-face, somehow my stomach twisted.
The reason is probably because Princess Heung Bi-yeon is quite beautiful.
‘I’m tired of waiting… …
Ryu Derek forcibly took his gaze away from Baek Yoo-seol and read the guideline message down.
I couldn’t check it all the way through because I was chasing after Baek Yu-seol, but now that I have some spare time, I’ll be able to read it completely.
[In the season of fireworks, there was a child in that village.]
[A terrible brother who doesn’t know if he’s a human or a monster
The child with the sieve… in the village… … .]
… … When Anella opened her eyes again, it was in a forest where a cold wind was blowing.
To put it bluntly, it wasn’t that she was lying in the forest, but she tried to decorate it as much as possible like a hut, but it failed completely.
“Ugh••••••••?”
Anella got up by grabbing her head
looked at the pile of planks with perplexed eyes.
“I’ve made this kind of thing a house now… ?”
The shack, which seemed to have been put together poorly by a child, looked so precarious that it was fortunate that it could barely escape from the wind.
But what was more unusual was that the shack was full of daily necessities and garbage. In other words, someone who has lived here has lived in this garbage house for quite a long time.
“Who lives in a place like this… …
Having said that, Anella realized that her situation was not much different from that of the owner of this shack.
Because it was none other than Anella, who was living in the ruins of a country that had already fallen apart, nesting in a perforated ceiling that could barely escape the rain and wind.
‘It’s done… … Where are you?’
I try to remember the last time.
The sky has turned black.
Witch King.
stolen amulet.
‘and… … Did I jump?’
From then on, my mind wandered and I couldn’t remember anything.
Anella got up slowly and walked along the forest path.
The black sky is as bright as if it were a lie. I heard that the autumn sky is high, and I thought I could understand the words of adults I didn’t know when I was a kid.
“Oh, it’s hard.”
The forest road was rough and there were hardly any traces of people walking, so it took a long time to go down.
I was genuinely curious as to who the hell was thinking of building a shack and living in a place like this.
Had it been like that for two hours?
Anella encountered a dirt gravel road in the countryside and walked along it with a welcome expression. A creek flows next to it, and rice is bowing down in the paddy fields.
It was a peaceful village.
The chirping of the sparrows sounds like a song.
“uh’?”
There was a person nearby.
Some grandmother had dropped the fruit and put it in a basket, but Anella couldn’t get past the sight and ran to her in haste.
“Grandma, I will help you.”
She grabbed the fruit and was about to put it in the basket, when suddenly Grandma threw a potato into her head.
puck!
“Kek!”
“Hey, this monster crawls down, asking where is this place!”
“Yeah, yeah… ?”
“I can’t turn it off right now!”
At the same time, Anella stomped on the fruit she was holding with her shoes and exploded.
“I got something disgusting! Disgusting!”
puck! puck! Puck puck!
She wasn’t stepping on Anella, and she was crushing all the fruits that Anella was holding, but for some reason she felt pain as if her heart was exploding like that fruit.
“Why why… …
“How do you pretend to be human when you’re not even human! Get off it right now! ！!!”
When the old woman shouted, the villagers flocked from here and there, and they each ran towards this place with pickaxes and shovels.
“The Beast Year has come!!”
“Get out of here right now!”
“Come on, wait! I’m not a monster… !”
Anella, who was about to speak, got caught in her throat.
‘no?’
really?
Anella is a black demon, not a human.
The word ghost is… … not so accurate
I didn’t say it, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Because I couldn’t deny it.
“go away! right now!”
“Get out of town!”
puck! Whoops!
Beaten with stones, potatoes, fruits and eggs, Anella sprinted out of the place without looking back.
Although she could no longer hear the shouts of the villagers, she did not stop.
ran for a while
By the time she, with her superhuman physical abilities, was out of breath to the tip of her chin, the sky looked yellow and she was completely exhausted as if the world was spinning.
Due to the limitations of his body, he was forced to stop.
dump!
Anella, who fell to the floor, twisted and twisted her body, lay in a large position and looked up at the sky.
“Uh-huh..
A laugh for no reason leaked out.
“It’s pretty…
Stars twinkle in the sky
It’s been a really long time
She raised one hand to cover her eyes and shook her head from side to side.
‘Yeah, I’m not human.’
Until now, with the help of a horse control technique, he hid the fact that he was a horse man and blended well into human society.
If it had been the original, I wouldn’t have been able to even get close to humans.
This is normal.
Despised by humans and feared
A rewarding, such a disgusting existence.
“ha••••••
Now, there is no need to be terrified again. I don’t know why the suppression technique was released, but didn’t you live with this in mind?
“Uh-huh, let’s go back.”
Anyway, the mission is finished.
I found out about the witch’s movement and even saved my life, so I can’t say that this mission was a success.
Anella thought so, got up from her seat and walked along the gravel road.
walking and walking again.
So when the sun comes up again
“..to?”
When she woke up, she was back in the village.
“Mom, monster… … ?”
About ten villagers are looking at me.
For a moment, they looked like teenage students wearing Stella’s school uniform, but they returned to the form of farmers in their 30s and 40s who were mistaken.
flinch.
When Anella stepped back, the peasants clamored in panic.
“What, what? That’s a monster.”
“What should I do? kill?”
“It’s so ugly… Dude, do you have to fight?”
“It is certain that this is the forgotten tale…
“Mom, I don’t know! Just attack!”
Farmers instantly aimed their pickaxe or sickle at Anella like a staff and fired flames and ice picks.
Whoops!!
Whoops!!
Why does magic come out of farm implements? Anella could no longer afford to ask such questions.
Although hated by humans, Anella did not want to harm humans, so she just frantically turned around and ran away, and the villagers followed her.
“hey! The monster is running away!”
“Follow me and kill me!”
“crazy! too fast!”
“no!”
Physical abilities incomparable to humans
Anella, who sprinted again with her power and fled, arrived in front of Ongdal Spring in a forest and collapsed.
“Ha ha ha… …
With her face buried in the sand, Anella forced her to breathe heavily.
What were you so afraid of that you ran away?
Yes, Anella was afraid.
Were you afraid of human attacks?
funny sound. That’s just itchy. Even if it is hit by farm implements, it doesn’t mean that the devil will die.
but.
Being hated was so scary.
to the point where my stomach ache.
to the point of tears.
to the point where my heart explodes.
“Ugh•••••••
Anella was not weak enough to be hurt by the impact of the fall, but for some reason she was afraid to stand up again.
Even though I knew that I would never get up if I didn’t get up like this, I couldn’t get any strength into my body.
‘I, I, why… …
Do I have to suffer like this?
‘Because I’m a black man… … ?’
Anella smiled self-consciously.
‘Ah, yes.’
It is natural for me to be hated.
‘Cause I’m not human
Because I can’t be human.
‘this… … After all, it’s my destiny.’
It was unusually chilly, and even the soul felt cold in the night wind, and Anella closed her eyes.
The starlight was no longer visible.
…man, witches, and this… What a shitty fate.
