239 – [4] Swarm of Magical Bandits
#239
A person with two faces.
Or a person who acts as if they have forgotten the past.
I don’t know what this person is called, but it was clear that he was very heterogeneous.
In general, people tend to be influenced by things that happened in the past.
If strong action was taken, there was bound to be a backlash.
If you have a healthy mind or can afford it, you definitely had to do it.
“Well, they are a close-knit family.”
Except for the top 100% mentally healthy, of course.
Anyway, the person in front of me…… In many ways, it was like a thousand birds.
“Thanks to my daughter, mom is in a good mood even though she’s under a lot of stress these days. Who would have thought she would grow up so well~”
“I understand, Mom. “Stop saying that in front of her friends.”
“Could it be that my daughter hates her mother? “Are you saying she’s all grown up already?”
“Because it’s not. “Aren’t you being like that too since yesterday?”
“But mom likes our Shannon~”
It’s as if he doesn’t even think about the past, as if he doesn’t care what other people think, and as if he’s just happy.
It felt like I was consistently pursuing my way without distinction between good and evil.
For someone who pursues such a My Way, his unmasked face was strange.
The dark circles were deep, as if he was exhausted, and his eyes were extremely bloodshot from fatigue.
The fact that I could see those things even though I was some distance away could be interpreted to mean that I was more tired than I imagined.
I stared at Shannon’s mother sipping coffee, wondering what on earth was causing her to look like that.
I had no idea how long I would have watched Shannon and her mother bickering like that.
Shannon chose to intervene because she was being bullied by her mother.
“Hmm, over there?”
“Huh? Right! Look at my nerves! “There was a guest here, and he was only saying what he wanted to say.”
“… ….”
“Okay, what should I say first…” … Oh yeah! You said you were my daughter’s friend, right? “I heard she is from Korea. Thank you so much for being my daughter’s friend.”
“Yes?”
“Even though she was my daughter, she wasn’t without a mysterious part. So I was really worried, but I’m really glad. “It’s amazing that talented kids like you are Shannon’s friends.”
“Oh, but-“
“And I did something really cruel to those friends, right? I apologize for being too harsh earlier. “It’s clearly my fault.”
“… ….”
“If I had known that they were my daughter’s friends, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place. “I guess I was too sensitive back then.”
Words flowed out like rapid fire.
English words are enough to overload the brain.
It flowed into my ears non-stop.
Unsurprisingly, speaking quickly did not have a very good effect on creating an atmosphere.
She had no idea what her intentions were or what she was thinking.
To put it simply, it means that you can’t follow the emotional line.
Why are you saying so quickly that something is so urgent?
“Hey…… Even if you speak slowly…….”
“No, I wouldn’t say it’s sensitive because there’s accumulated stress. I was beside myself with that and used the water ball right away. I should have been gentle with you as soon as I noticed. “I’m so crazy”
Ajumma, someone won’t eat you.
You can speak slowly while building up.
She almost wondered if this was a ploy to make her forget how rude she had been.
However, I vaguely caught an action that felt plausible.
That is, he often glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
They say being suspicious of people is a bad habit, but the behavior of the person in front of me was so strange.
It was finally time for me to have doubts.
Shannon cried and covered her mother’s mouth.
“I’m sorry, everyone! Because my mother has a very impatient personality…… !”
“Uh… ….”
It would be polite to say it was okay, but I couldn’t do that.
This was because she only understood half of what she had heard so far.
Well, thank you for playing with her daughter.
Are you sorry for being harsh to us?
Nothing came to mind except these two.
It seemed like there was something detailed, but it wasn’t recorded in her brain’s memory.
“Mom, speak slowly…” … ! I can’t understand it, and other people can’t understand it either…… !”
“Oh really? Guys, did I speak too fast?”
I stayed still without moving anything.
Instead, I tried to be careful but polite as possible and say it was a little early.
“I liked it just right?”
This idiot, where has the will to fight gone?
The platinum-blond-haired beast sitting next to me gave a strange answer.
I held on tightly to the buttocks of a thousand birds.
Her body trembled and her teeth clenched hard.
“Ugh, sir…… !”
“Huh? “Did you say something, platinum-blond friend?”
“Oh, no! But our English skills aren’t that good. “It’s too fast, but can you speak a little more slowly?”
Our English is a mess.
If you talk that fast and too much, you’ll end up with overhead.
I answered instead of a thousand people.
Shannon’s mother nodded her head as if she had finally realized her mistake.
“Then let me explain again from the beginning. You said they were my daughter’s friends, right? “As you can see, I am Shannon’s mother.”
It was then.
An ear-splitting voice struck the office.
aaang—!
Siren sound.
From Noble mtl dot com
But it was incredibly big.
As if there was some kind of danger.
I tilted my head to the side as questions piled up.
“Have these bastards finally appeared!”
At that time, Shannon’s mother quickly stood up.
She then put on a mask while speaking.
I tried to leave the office with the magic wand that I had left aside.
Not only I but also Cheonma-ri was taken aback by the sudden action.
“Guys! “Stay here for a moment!”
Words were not kept.
I followed her out of her office, trying to somehow understand the current situation.
Of course, if I went alone, something might happen, so I took Cheonmae with me as well.
When two people suddenly left the office, the other person had no choice.
Shannon followed us out.
Once we left the guild office like that…….
“What is it? “Nothing happened?”
There were no problems.
The siren was just blaring.
However, other people who heard the sound came out one after another onto the street.
The once empty streets became crowded with villagers, each carrying something different.
And Shannon’s mother was looking for something in the middle of the street, as if filled with anger.
If you look at his expression or eyes, he had an attitude as if he were going to rip a person to pieces and kill them.
I was wondering why on earth he was doing that.
That’s why I thought it might have something to do with the fact that they acted forcefully and in a hurry toward us.
I approached her right away.
“These knights…… ! Huh? “Guys, why did you come out?”
“No, I was wondering what was going on.”
“I’m really, really sorry. Isn’t it a bit dangerous here now? So, can you come into the office for a moment?”
I shook my head saying it was okay.
Perhaps it was because of that, her expression became somewhat distorted.
He immediately motioned for us to follow him and stuck to the wall of the guild office/warehouse.
“This is what adults say. Come into the office with Shannon—”
“We also have the ability to take care of our own bodies. And wouldn’t you first tell us what’s going on so we can follow along?”
You can make a more certain decision if you know the context.
Furthermore, we were adults attending the academy.
Even though I was old enough to be protected by adults, I was not.
No matter what, she had a reason to act independently.
“Oh my…… “That’s right.”
Contrary to expectations, it was acknowledged right away.
Shannon’s mother continued to look around her, rolling her bloodshot eyes back and forth.
“SS.”
“Yes?”
But the answer was not cool.
SS, there were so many meanings contained in the two letters S.
However, it can be said that there is only one meaning that is often used.
For reference, S class never meant twice the size.
“SS guys are running around in the deep south of Ireland.”
“Wait a minute. “What and where are you wandering around?”
“Two weeks ago, there was a government warning that the Schutzstaffel Knights had infiltrated the southernmost part of Ireland.”
Schutzstaffel.
SS in short, SS in translation.
If we say that Nazi Germany is a bastard that is a collection of human malice and hatred.
These people were like beings who extracted only the extract from the jjamtang and brewed it.
So, it was a spicy Nazi.
They may indeed be bastards, but this was always their reputation in their past lives.
Not only were the Nazis alive and well and living a nice life, but their reputation in this world was even worse as they were serious about destroying the Earth.
They had a bad reputation, especially among people who had to deal with them.
“By the way, do you know what the Schutzstaffel Knights are?”
“The SS Knights know it well. “Aren’t they sadists who often massacre, rape, and plunder hunters in the name of racial purification?”
They are truly crazy bastards.
The average skill of the affiliated squire is equivalent to that of a female high school student.
There was also a ‘habit’ of moving around in droves like a swarm of magic bandits.
For hunters, it could be said to be a huge threat along with warrior candidates.
In the game, they appeared as a kind of golab enemy along with the warrior candidates.
Of course, unlike meat shields, they were much more difficult to deal with.
“But those guys are in this town now?”
“I don’t know exactly where it is, but it’s clear that it’s wandering around the southernmost part of Ireland. “Because of that, several guilds exploded.”
The guild exploded?
As the opponent was the opponent, I couldn’t even guess what the explosion meant.
“Ah, the explosion means that everyone is dead. “They invaded the guild office, killed all the hunters, and ran away.”
“How is that possible…” ….”
“They say they use the disguise and make-up magic of the Appearance School. Because of that, they cannot be arrested, and even if they are caught, government personnel end up dying, and hunters are mobilized to ensure security, and the vicious cycle has continued for two weeks.”
Isn’t this something that could lead to war?
Are you really saying this because Ireland’s weight class is small?
Then, even if they were truly crazy, they were truly crazy.
If things come out like this, there is bound to be action from the allies, and the atmosphere at the diplomatic table is bound to worsen.
But when I thought about it again…… If diplomacy was good, it could not have been Nazi Germany.
They were doing this damn thing because they were true mercenaries whose only goal was annihilation, massacre, and conquest.
“Isn’t there a war?”
“Germany’s weight classes are also weight classes, and they’ve often made this mess since long ago, so…….”
Not even once.
The one and only in history, the worst untouchable, literally JOAT.
“Then what did the government do when something like this happened in the past?”
“I figured it out over the course of a few weeks.”
If you were to rank the country based on its quality, it would be a country buried somewhere in the bottomless pit.
I now think I understand why German immigrants are discriminated against.
But why didn’t I know about this news…… Oh, I haven’t really watched any Irish news.
This was the result of not paying attention to what was going on in the world because I was so preoccupied with dealing with the cartel.
“Is this explained now? “Because of that, everyone has been staying vigil for two weeks.”
“Ah… ….”
“So, can you please go into the safe office? “The siren went off because it meant that the Irish government sensed something dangerous.”
Anyway, it was a shocking situation.
I thought maybe this was why they were picky, but even if that were the case, it was honestly an excessive treatment and a change in attitude.
However, it was not an issue worth keeping in the current situation.
I put my thoughts about this aside for a moment.
“We can fight too. “We once captured a sword expert at the academy.”
“But it might be different from those guys. Moreover, there are villagers and guild hunters—”
Beep!
The sound of the siren has changed.
It felt like it had changed from an urgent notification to an announcement that wanted to convey something.
Sure enough.
The noise stopped and the sound of someone clearing their throat was heard.
– “Ah, the siren just now was a warning about an unknown object launched from Germany. SS It’s not a warning, so you can rest assured.”
First of all, they say it is not a warning.
I don’t know what it means exactly.
“Can I not go in now?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway…… “Well, the Germans fired a very large magic missile again.”
She scratched her head.
However, when I looked back at the word magic missile, I realized that I had heard something similar somewhere.
“Nuclear?”
A certain northern prince pig frequently shoots out loud, saying he will turn it into a sea of fire…… That’s it.
The thing about infiltrating the SS Knights and f*cking with them, as well as the missiles, was very similar.
Not a North Korean monster, but a poisonous monster.
A reality that feels strangely familiar.
I cautiously asked Shannon what this was.
“Super large magic missile? It’s an annual event. German kids do that all the time.”
“You do that all the time?”
“Yes, if you want it to be a little more peaceful, shoot it periodically into the English Channel and the North Sea.”
“Why on earth…?” … ?”
“I see. Well, some say it’s because the European continent is starving…… Some say that the Grand Swordmaster, who became the new President in a coup, is doing this to preserve his authority…… Or, some say it’s because we messed with the prisoners…….”
It’s not Juche’s nuclear bomb, but the Fuhrer’s magic bomb.
The world of Europe was truly complex.
I felt the unfamiliar scent of my hometown and the unique stress I felt in such an unexpected place.
I sighed at the warmth of the burning peninsula.
A miserable reality where seriousness and triviality are mixed.
I looked at Shannon blankly for a moment, saying that I had lived in a place like this.
“Cheer up.”
“Mr. Xian? Yes?”
Poor Shannon.
This was all I could say in Hell-Europe.
