003. The hero of dark fantasy was possessed by romance (3)
rattle- rattle-
The wagon swaying and making noise.
‘it’s hard… … .’
Serena’s waist and hips were tight and her body was sluggish, so it was difficult to bear.
The ride comfort of the wagon she had been riding and the military wagon she was riding now was completely different.
It’s like the difference between a pillow stuffed with fluffy duck down and rolling barefoot on a gravel field.
I thought I’d stop by the village in the middle to take a break, but
Zeke didn’t seem to think so at all.
In the villages that I occasionally passed by, I only stopped by to buy simple snacks or to wash my body.
At that time, he cursed at ‘the general who ate deliciously’.
‘What is that? What did you enjoy?’
Serena was hard to understand, but I could guess that he wasn’t relaxed.
And that he doesn’t like this situation either.
It seems that sleeping in the wagon wasn’t something he really wanted to do.
‘Um, are you a fallen nobleman? In fact, he hasn’t even laid a finger on me… … .’
That day, Serena opened the carriage door, determined to reject his heart.
But Zeke was snoring and sleeping as if he didn’t care about her.
To be honest, I felt relieved, but at the same time, it was a huge wound to my pride.
So far, it is doubtful that all the voices of those who praised their appearance and personality were lies!
Serena had to cool her hot face by glancing at Zeke’s sleeping face by herself.
Suddenly, I remembered something my mother once said.
– Our Serena is so cute and smart, but I’m worried that her delusion is a bit severe. So, where did you hide the book? It’s a book Serena shouldn’t read yet.
– hehehe, did I hide the book?
– It’s under the bed. where… … . This, so much!
– Oh no!!! As much as the lower half of the heavy northern part, please!
‘Ugh… … .’
Now that I think about it, it is clear that, in fact, I was crazy that day.
No matter how emotional I felt in front of a campfire at night,
No matter how much I met the northern nobleman I longed for,
No matter how much he has a look that directly hits his taste
Even though he saved me from almost being trampled by the goblins!
‘no! That’s enough to misunderstand!’
Thanks to her father, Serena was almost immune to men her age.
A man who gives her a masculine and rough feeling,
A chance meeting with Zeke Kleiman was bound to be considered special.
In the meantime, I’ve been piling up like a mountain,
The appearance of the male protagonist in romance novels overlapped with Zeke’s face.
“Sup-.”
swallowed saliva
‘Oops. delusion again. Let’s stop.’
Anyway, the expectations and misunderstandings of that day were enough to make the clothes that covered my body cool every night.
‘I didn’t even think of it, Instructor! I couldn’t get ahead by myself, so I went all the way to the stars… … . Tea, embarrassing. It’s all because of the novel!’
Serena’s face reddened at the thought of that day again, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
I concluded it with my own misunderstanding and misunderstanding, but there was still something strange.
Anyway, he’s so careful that I wonder if he’s really interested in me.
‘Do you hate me? No, can it be… … ? Originally, it was said that men are the ones who lose their senses when a beautiful woman like me is in front of them. Perhaps… … Do you like men or something like that!?’
I grew up being loved by my father, mother, and older brothers.
Serena never dreamed that someone hated her.
Except for one person.
‘Ah, Iriel Justia. Except for that woman.’
Serena even had the stern thought of doubting Zeke’s taste.
Then it dawned on me that he had no money.
The delusional circuit began to run hotly.
‘Instructor is keeping his distance to the point where I’m embarrassed.’
But what if it’s because you’re sorry that you couldn’t arrange accommodation because you didn’t have money?
And now the fact that he is a fallen aristocrat without money or power
What if it was because she was ashamed to be in debt to a classy woman like me?
‘In addition, they said that northerners are not good at expressing their inner feelings. They say it coldly, but in fact it’s warm.’
If so, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
Serena nodded in broad generosity.
“Ugh! Instructor!”
big, big Serena cleared her throat and called out to Zeke, who was making a sad expression in front of her.
Zeke’s dynamic eyes turned to Serena.
“Are you still unwilling to accept my help?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t have any money?”
“… … .”
Zeke looked at the girl in front of him displeasedly.
‘What? Are you quarreling?’
It was absurd.
What is a jjuguri insectivore who has not paid for food even once?
I wondered where the hell the conscience had gone.
I was still sick of the money that ‘himself’ voluntarily donated to the military.
Hearing that made me feel bad.
The moment I was about to get angry. Serena added.
“Then, let’s do this.”
“What do you mean?”
“Just arrived at Ramielli. Just give me money and I won’t force anything. To be honest, I want to serve you in my mansion like a chimney! Instructor doesn’t seem to want that.”
How is Serena? Is this okay? His blue eyes twinkled with a confident expression.
Zeke’s expression rotted.
‘It’s really annoying!’
Zeke really wanted to do something with this slimy leech.
In the meantime, I’ve already had dozens of conversations like this.
‘Ah, I think I really saved you for nothing. Give me a refund for abandoned dogs.’
Apparently, until this woman reaches her destination,
No, even after arriving, it seemed like it would keep sticking like this and not fall off.
‘Ha, it’d be nice if we could just take care of each other and go cleanly.’
“Huh-huh. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’ll definitely repay the instructor!”
“If you want to give it that way, give it now.”
“Originally, Ciela is managing all the money, so I don’t have it now! I’ll go to the mansion and give it to you!”
Serena offended Zeke with a proud expression.
Quick.
Blood vessels protruded from Zeke’s forehead.
‘Oh no, yes. If you’re so confident, let’s check it out. How clean the soul is.’
Zeke glared at Serena.
Then, he gathered the mana around him with his eyes.
There was nothing like this to distinguish the purity of the soul and the purity of the nature.
＜Eye of Judgment＞
It was a bit unreasonable because it was no longer the Dave continent overflowing with mana.
As it is the technique he used the most when identifying enemies to slash
I was able to use it somehow even with a small amount of mana.
‘What, what is it, boy?’
But soon. Zeke couldn’t help but put on a dumbfounded expression.
anger.
A halo spread from Serena’s back and filled the carriage.
Overwhelming innocence to the point of blinding.
A soul that seems even sacred at first glance.
Could a person’s disposition be this pure?
Goosebumps grew on Zeke’s arm.
It was a light that had never been seen in the world of dark fantasy.
Because it was a world where angels and saints were all busy falling.
‘Ah, no, that’s not the point.’
Zeke closed his gaping mouth in surprise and analyzed her light.
[ Gratitude 30%, innocence 25%, goodwill 10%, coming 10%, weak liking? 5%, 5% duty, 3% responsibility. sympathy 2% ]
I was bewildered.
I couldn’t find a single piece of the emotion that Zeke was wary of.
‘Oh, um… … . really… … ? I can look forward to it… … ?’
The way Serena looked at her was slightly different from before.
And suddenly my eyes went black.
dump.
* * *
“You killed an angel! You killed the hope of this Dave continent!”
“No!! Angel, that bitch has already fallen!”
“lie!! Do not lie! You are always!”
“Oh, why don’t you believe me! You ate the chicken well together earlier! Magi says it’s very special!”
The bitch called the saint in front of me ripped off the wings of a fallen angel and made chicken and offered it to her.
He gave off a very fucking glow.
Even when the angel told me that he was already a fallen being, he didn’t believe it.
There were signs of deterioration little by little this year.
Still, he was born with a good temper and tried to drag it out somehow.
Again, it looked like this.
The saintess raised her divine power and raised her sword with her blonde hair and golden eyes shining.
And Zeke, who was facing him, also put his hand on the sword at his waist.
“Ha, fuck. Are you really going to do this? do you really want to see blood? Knowing what would happen if I got a knife!”
“Do you remember the girl you killed before?”
“Shangnyeon. Don’t speak carelessly.”
“Zeke… … . You are really… … .”
flash-
“Ugh… ! Ugh. Huh.”
Inside the carriage, Zeke opened his eyes and jumped up.
It was early morning, not yet dawn.
Zeke’s back was damp with cold sweat, and his whole body was shaking.
‘Ha, fuck… … . Is this the aftereffect of the eye… … . Looking at my physical condition, I can use it once a month… … .’
Perhaps, although I’m not sure, it’s the low mana of Ropan that’s the problem.

Maybe it was because he used the eye of judgment while the fatigue from catching the goblin hadn’t fully recovered, but his physical condition wasn’t good enough.
Because of that, it seemed that after returning to Earth, I even dreamed of a dark fantasy world that I had rarely dreamed of.
Zeke calmed his still beating heart.
‘Of course, that year’s dream… … . Well? This… … .’
Suddenly, he felt something wet on his forehead and put his hand to it.
A wet cloth was touched.
It was the cloth wrapped around Serena’s arm.
Zeke stared blankly at the girl sleeping across from him.
Serena was crouching like a squid in the cramped space of the carriage.
This girl shouts with bright blue eyes that she must repay the debt of her life.
It was annoying, but yes, it was very, very annoying.
to be honest
It was also true that I had a bad feeling in the back of my heart.
I just pushed it away because I didn’t believe it.
So Zeke might have wanted to check it out even if it was a little overbearing.
Zeke did not use this ability well against humans in the previous world.
I was afraid of expecting too much and being disappointed.
Because Serena is stubborn
I used it on purpose, but what I confirmed was the shining soul.
The clear light was still good to my eyes.
Thanks to that, I fainted and lost shape like this.
but,
‘Can I really trust you… … .’
No matter how good her soul was, it was hard for Zeke to believe it without a single doubt.
The harsh and painful experiences of the past have made solitude natural.
In the previous dark fantasy world, the demon king ruled the entire continent.
Of course, even with such a gloomy worldview, not all monsters exist,
When you do heroic things, whether you intend to or not,
Inevitably, to save people who are in pain.
To be honest, I would be lying if I said I didn’t expect Zeke at first.
A classic story of saving a woman in crisis, expressing gratitude, and blooming hope… … .
However, when they rescued them, most of them were humans who asked for the bundle or the elixir.
Among them, the saintess was trustworthy, but in the end, she too was broken and corrupted in a miserable world.
But this is a romance fantasy.
Although there are monsters, there is no demon king who dominates the continent.
And neither is that madman.
In addition, due to the nature of the genre, the good and the bad will be clearly distinguished in their own way.
Serena was clearly a ‘seonin’ among them.
‘Yes, this is not a dark fantasy. It’s a romance fantasy.’
Zeke realized that he was still caught in the shadows of the past and couldn’t get out.
‘but… … . Even so… … . A broken human being like me, with such a clean soul… … .’
As I looked at Serena with such a disturbed heart, Serena slowly opened her eyes.
“Hmm? did you wake up? Are you all right?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
When Zeke said that, Serena laughed bashfully.
“lol. thank god. I was helpful this time.”
Suddenly, the sound of laughter reminded Zeke of a girl he couldn’t protect from a dark fantasy.
It seemed to be because of what the saintess had said in her dream earlier.
To him who became sharp after being used and betrayed by people
The girl who brought me this and that and laughed.
– Mister, are you feeling better now? hehehe, eat this. I got it from the mountain earlier.
– go away.
– Hey, I heard all the growls! Hi-Hi. now. Eat this and cheer up!
Even when I hear the voice telling me to go away, I keep coming
The girl who held a handful of dried fruit in his hand.
However, a few days later, the girl was taken away by the demon king.
He was forcibly injected with demonic energy and became incapable of being human.
Zeke killed the girl.
“Instructor?”
Serena made a puzzled expression.
Zeke’s mouth opened slowly.
“thanks. And I’m sorry… … .”
“to?”
“Still, I don’t need these things.”
Serena was surprised by Zeke’s thanks and apology and ran away from sleep.
I never thought I’d be the one to say that
During the day, he glared at his face and made a surprised expression.
Zeke suddenly passed out.
Serena was so shocked that her heart dropped.
Because he was lying in the carriage, sweating and suffering.
Serena wipes his sweat until nightfall
He unwrapped the cloth wrapped around his arm and poured water over it to cool his hot head.
Serena is looking at Zeke with a dumbfounded expression.
Zeke tied the wet cloth back to Serena’s arm with his usual sullen face.
‘uh… … . uh… … !?’
Serena’s face flushed.
