134 – Repayment (1)
To be honest, it was half a gamble.
For a swordsman who mainly uses the sword technique, the most difficult enemy is one who fully understands the interval required when using the sword technique.
Once you draw your sword, it takes time to return it to its sheath, so if you miss the first shot, there will be a gap until the next shot.
If the opponent was someone who fully understood the spacing of the firing technique, it would be disadvantageous in many ways, such as measuring the distance outside the gap and leading the opponent to miss the attack, or narrowing the gap significantly so that the firing technique could not be fired.
In that respect, Bukkake could be said to be my worst enemy, as he completely understood the gap between my firing techniques.
Not only did he completely understand the interval, but he also had better physical ability than me through doping, so I had no choice but to take a gamble.
Baldosul Agito.
This is an anomalous technique where the side of the sheath is opened like the maw of an animal and the katana is pulled out to the side to strike the enemy.
In order to use this technique, you must hold the sword sheath differently than usual because your fingers will be cut off if you hold the sword sheath like you normally do.
A Bukkage with excellent observation skills may have realized this and changed the shape of the nanga into an attitude, increasing the width and length of the blade to the point where it was impossible to hold it all with one hand.
As a result, his attention was focused on the extended blade, and he did not notice that I held the sword sheath to expose the side.
“The subjugation is complete.”
As a result of unexpected luck in a gamble with no idea what would happen, the operation was a great success.
After returning Nanga and the sheath to their original state, I guided Nanga and spoke to the two people who fell to the floor and turned into bubbles and disappeared.
“There was no fight like that, but it was close. “If my luck had been a little worse, I would have been lying down right now.”
“Damn… !! Even if I die, it’s because of this guy!! If this was going to happen, it would have been better for me to die then… !!!”
With a miserable death, Bukkake turned into a handful of bubbles and completely disappeared from this world.
And when the bukage disappeared, I made eye contact with Baekjeongnam, who was holding him from behind.
Baek Jeong-nam, whose cut section was slowly turning into foam, looked like he was going to die at any moment, but just before he died, he glared at me with bloodshot eyes and shouted in a bitter voice.
“This…” Traitor!! “You stab me in the back like this?!!”
“If anyone hears it, they will misunderstand it. “Since when were we colleagues?”
We only briefly cooperated against a common enemy that suddenly appeared, but were never colleagues.
More than anything else, the reason I came here was to subdue the Baekjeongnam who killed many knights and took over the castle, so what kind of betrayal is this?
“Or were you just expecting something oblique, like a swinging bridge effect? “Did you think that if we cooperated in the face of a strong enemy, it would be as if we didn’t fight to the death just a moment ago?”
“Yes, you… !!!”
“Don’t blame me even if it’s a mistake. “If you have anyone to blame, blame it on your stone-headed man who arbitrarily judged me as a colleague.”
“Ugh… !!”
Baek Jeong-nam tried to say something to me, but before he could, his heart collapsed and he was unable to continue speaking until he turned into foam.
In this way, the battle of the possessed man between Baldo, ninja, and Taekwondo ended with Baldo’s victory.
As acknowledged by the writer who sent us here, a message window appeared in front of us announcing the increase in the rank of Baldosul.
[Baldosul: Agito]
[Grade: S++]
[This is a technique that minimizes the friction that occurs when firing and strikes the enemy’s weak points with enhanced power. Considering that kicking is a surprise technique, it may be the most ideal kicking technique.]
[You have succeeded in acquiring a derived skill that is higher than the level of the basic skill.]
[The level of footmanship increases.]
[The grade of derived skills, whose grade increase was limited due to the lack of base skill grade, is increased.]
[Baldo Art] [Grade: SS]
[A technique to instantly draw a sword from its sheath and strike the enemy, poor bastard….]
Whether it is tough or not, there is no change in the fact that we won. It is always the loser’s role to complain about being cowardly or petty.
If someone were to choose between being an honorable loser and a poor winner, I would without hesitation choose the latter.
“Then…” “It’s all over now, so you can come out!!”
When I spoke to those who were watching the fight hiding behind the ruins of the collapsed castle, they slowly got up with a somewhat shaken expression on their faces.
“What? “Why do you look at me like that?”
“No…. I think that’s a bit cowardly….”
As Jessica spoke as a representative, the other drivers nodded in agreement.
“What kind of cowardice…. Then you could have cut them both down, but you should have just cut down the demon side and let him live, right? He should have fought again then?”
“It’s not like that, but…” . Was it good for something to be like this? . Same thought….”
“What kind of nonsense is that?” !!”
I was about to shoot back and ask if this was nonsense, but the sudden pain in my chest silenced me.
Extreme chest pain struck my body, as if my heart was being pressed down by a large rock.
I can’t breathe well. As I unconsciously got down on one knee, a startled Jessica quickly ran towards me.
“Hey, Ian!!!”
My breathing becomes increasingly rapid and I begin to feel dazed. The last thing I saw, right before I lost consciousness, was Jessica’s face, covered in blood, with tears streaming down my face because I was so embarrassed.
*****
The ceiling is an unknown ceiling.
I felt a sense of relief when the introduction that often appears in old novels became a reality.
When I opened my eyes and saw an unknown ceiling, it meant that someone had taken care of my injury and treated me.
“Ugh… !!”
“Mr. Ian!! “You’re awake!!”
As I got out of bed with my sore body, a familiar voice rang in my ears.
When I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I saw Hori smiling with joy, with a creepy bruise on one cheek.
“Horiya…. “How long have I been sleeping?”
“It’s a week today!! “I knew you were safe, but I was worried because you didn’t wake up!!”
“I see…. “But why are your cheeks like that?”
“Oh, this is…” To Jessica….”
When I heard what he was talking about, he said that on the day I collapsed due to side effects, Jessica slapped him, saying it was all Hori’s fault for putting in useless side effects.
“… Even if it’s true, it’s cheap. But did anything happen while I was sleeping?”
“Yes, first of all….”
During the week I was unconscious, reinforcements from the royal family and other estates arrived.
They came here out of curiosity, saying they would defeat the Baekjeongnam who occupied this castle, but when they heard that I had already defeated the Baekjeongnam, they dispersed to kill the barbarians who had spread all over the place.
Now that the royal archmage has gone to repair the collapsed wall, there is no need to worry about barbarians invading.
The only thing left to do is to sort out the rags that have spread everywhere, so it is safe to say that the situation is almost under control.
“I heard from the maid here that some people in the territory call Ian a hero! How does he feel being a hero?”
“Well…. Even when I suddenly hear something like that, I don’t feel any emotion….”
What great inspiration would there be if you suddenly heard something like, ‘Starting today, you are a hero.’
Even more so when you consider that the reason it happened was the fight with that idiot.
“They say that since supplies are being sent from other territories, it may be difficult for now, but it will only take a few years before it regains its former power.”
“Good. But the fact that you’re here means you’re taking care of me?”
“Yes! That’s right! “Not only was I there, but Jessica was there too, and she just went to wash her face!”
“I see…. You take care of me….”
I was touched for a moment by the fact that he stayed by my side and nursed me for a week….
‘Wait a minute, doesn’t that mean they also took care of my toilet and urine?’
When I thought that, I began to feel a foreign body sensation in my lower body that I had not felt before.
When I carefully lifted the blanket that covered my stomach, I saw that my half-naked lower body was littered with tools to facilitate the disposal of urine and feces.
“… ….”
I turned my head to look at Hori in an unbelievable reality, and Hori blushed and spoke briefly.
“That… I was surprised that it was bigger than I expected….”
From noble mtl dot com
“… ….”
I want to die. There was no way I could just lie still and look at Hori’s face, so I removed the tools stuck to my lower body and went outside under the pretext of getting some air.
I left the room, but since this wasn’t my castle, I didn’t have anywhere to go, so I just wandered around the hallway aimlessly.
I don’t know how long I walked, but when I suddenly felt the cold wind blowing, I walked to a place where the wind was blowing, and saw Jessica leaning on the railing with an open terrace and a wet expression from the flowing water.
“Jessica….”
Perhaps it was because I looked like I wouldn’t be able to see her for a week, so my voice calling out to Jessica was weak.
However, Jessica raised her head and ran towards me with an expression of disbelief.
“Hey, Ian… !! Are you okay now?!”
“Everything is okay now, except for my torn dignity.”
When he smiled at Jessica, who tilted her head, and pointed to her lower body, Jessica blushed and avoided her gaze.
“Seeing as you say things like that, I guess it’s really worth living now.”
“Okay, but what were you looking at here?”
“Just…” “I was looking at the scenery outside.”
As I stood on the terrace with Jessica, the view of the castle, which must have been spectacular, resembled a battlefield as it had suffered terrible injuries from a fight a week ago.
At least now, the castle owner has returned and repair work is beginning on the castle, but it will be a long time before the castle regains its original appearance.
“Why were you watching this for no reason?”
“What do you mean, it’s for nothing? “Did you really think I was sad when I saw the collapsed castle?”
“Huh? “Wasn’t it like that?”
“No. Of course, it would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel that way at all, but it ended easily considering the barrier was broken, right?”
So, he said that we must look ahead for the sake of Young-min, who has no one to lean on, and that there is no such thing as a time of frustration.
If she were an ordinary young lady, she would have been frustrated or shed tears, but the way she looked forward without giving in was somehow cool.
“Jessica is somehow cool.”
“It’s cool…” . “There are other compliments such as ‘beautiful’ or something.”
“Then should I say it’s cute? You used to do that often. Cute Jessica… do.”
“That’s it!! “When I think about that time, it still makes my blood boil, so don’t ever say the word cute!!”
“Really? Too bad…. “Jessica is really cute.”
“Really again!!”
Jessica patted my chest with a blush on her face, but perhaps out of consideration for me who had just woken up from her hospital bed, there was no force in her fist when patting her, so it just seemed cute.
“What do you think? I found this castle again. “Isn’t it cheap to think of it as repayment?”
Jessica paused for a moment and blushed her head strangely when she mentioned the story of compensation she once had.
Then, her lips trembled and hesitated, and then she seemed to have made up her mind and asked me.
“…… So, I want something in return. Is this it?”
“Huh? What can I say? Why are you really allowing it?”
“…… No. Instead, I’m trying to do something different.”
“Anything else?”
While saying that, Jessica came closer to me, so close that her chest touched my stomach, then lifted her heel and turned her face towards me.
“… Uh? Uh?”
While I was panicking about something, I felt a soft touch on my cheek and heard the sound of flesh hitting flesh and falling.
“…… Jessica?”
“… ….”
Jessica turned her head to him, and even his ears turned red, as if he had no way to hide his embarrassment even after what he had done, so even without looking, he could easily guess what his complexion was like.
“Hey, this is enough, right?! Well, I’ve repaid you enough, so now if you call me cute… Wow!!”
The moment Jessica turned her head and was about to leave, for some reason, my hand was roughly grabbing Jessica’s soft breasts.
As her breasts are grabbed, her eyes meet Jessica, who reflexively turns her head in embarrassment.
An ambiguous look that is not rejection, but not acceptance. In this situation where I could easily be accused of being a rapist, I trusted my intuition and kissed Jessica on the lips.
Holy!
Unexpected
