138Th Chapter. Anonymous
“Are you Imma. Kalinya?”
“Uh?”
“That’s right! Don’t be coy! If you make that high-pitched voice with that face, do you think I’ll fall for it!”
“eee······.”
“Sir, Lord Michael Jackson! Calm down!”
Hwak stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl’s cheek, but was stopped by the Paladins.
At first, I was skeptical, but now I’m sure.
That guy is Kalida.
“Where exactly did you find this guy?”
“In the middle of the passage leading to the rainwater tunnel, among the torn flesh of a woman.”
“······.”
As expected.
This guy has to be Kali.
Kali, who was resurrected by the 10th-order magic, Resurrection, was in a ‘perfect state’.
I don’t know how a mental state that is restless and obsessed with the emotions and stubbornness of the time of death can be called perfect, but I’ll call it ‘perfect state’ anyway, borrowing Luna’s words.
In that state, Kali’s body is immortal.
No matter how much it is cut or injured, it is a body that regenerates endlessly.
When I cut off the girl upper body from the guy’s spider body and separated it, it split into two, the spider body and the girl body, and regenerated.
At that time, I thought I had turned that girl body into dust with my Iron Blood Storm Strike.
It seems that the tiny piece had the energy to regenerate, so it regenerated into this childlike form.
“Do you know this child?’
“I do. I know her well. This guy is acting right now. He’s actually good at talking and not this naive. I’ll take her.”
“Hmm······. I understand······. Just fill out the paperwork. It’s just for the record, so don’t be too upset.”
“······.”
The Paladins looked at me and Mijeong next to me and clicked their tongues with suspicious expressions.
It seems like they’re misunderstanding something strange.
Still, once the paperwork was finished, I was finally able to take Kali.
“Ooh?”
But even until the moment this guy came out, he continued to act naive.
In the end, I held his hand and came out, but the guy kept looking up at me with bewildered eyes, making me feel like I was kidnapping an innocent child.
“Put this on.
Mijeong threw me any clothes she was wearing, so the size was about right.
However, the problem is······.
“Uh?”
“Hey······. How long are you going to do that······.”
The guy is still acting naive even though he’s in a hotel room with just us.
All he says is “Uh.”
He pretends not to understand what I’m saying and keeps tilting his head.
He just flutters the clothes I threw at him and plays with them.
Has his intelligence decreased?
“Hmm······.”
I put my hand on his head and examined it, but I couldn’t feel any magic at all.
No, I can feel it.
It’s just a small amount that even ordinary people have.
There is no trace of the enormous magic that Kali exuded.
I don’t feel any special abilities or aura at all.
Just in case, I decided to take a closer look at his physical condition.
“Hey. Say ah.”
“Ah······.”
“Spit out a spider web.”
“Uh······?”
“Can’t you do that? Then make your hand like this. Bend your middle and ring fingers. It looks like a spider web will come out of your wrist, doesn’t it?”
“Ooooo······.”
“I guess not.”
I checked his body thoroughly, but it’s definitely true.
This is the body of a human woman.
There is no trace of the characteristics of a spider monster, a complete human body.
The more I look at it, the more puzzled I become.
Is it right to see this as Kali?
Or should I see it as something other than Kali?”Is this a side effect of resurrection······?”
One thing is for sure, this girl now has a complete human body.
And she has lost all of Kali’s memories, including her language skills.
Also, it is clear that she has lost all of her traits and abilities.
In this way, she is no different from an ordinary girl.
“······Eugene. What are we going to do with this?”
“I’m going crazy.”
“······Can’t we just kill her?”
“What? What are you going to do with this?”
“······Nothing.”
Mijung turns her head away from me.
It seems that even Mijung doesn’t know what to do with this.
It is definitely a byproduct of Kali.
However, it is difficult to treat her as the same person as Kali unless she inherits Kali’s memories and abilities.
I can’t blame this girl for Kali’s sins.
That doesn’t mean I can figure out how to use it.
She has been reset to the level of an idiot who can’t even speak or tell right from wrong······.
If she were a little more intelligent, I could send her to work somewhere and make money.
“Should I leave it to Cornelia? No. It’s too dangerous.”
For a moment, I thought about passing it on to Cornelia, but I decided to stop.
What’s wrong with Cornelia?
It would be like suddenly having a child out of wedlock.
Besides, it’s not like this girl is safe yet.
It’s possible that I just didn’t notice it, but there’s a low but definite possibility that Kali’s personality is still alive inside.
So it’s too risky to leave it to Cornelia.
“I’ll have to take her with me.”
“······Eugene.”
“Why. What.”
“······Nothing.”
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
Do I have to take her with me?
I can’t just throw this on the ground because it’s annoying.
Killing her is even more disgusting.
“Eu······ Jin······.”
“······Oh.”
“Huh?”
At that moment, the girl said, her lips trembling.
My name.
She looked at me and called my name.
It doesn’t seem like she just blurted out a word she heard.
It’s clear that she recognized that ‘Eugene’ was my name and said it.
“She seems to be learning to speak quite quickly. Is she quite intelligent?”
“In······ tel······ ligent?”
“Yes. She might be useful. Maybe she has a talent for magic or sorcery.”
You never know.
For all I know, she might have the talent of a great magician or a master sorcerer.
It’s entirely possible, since she was born with the body of Kali, who was once one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
“The problem is that she’s very clumsy······.”
However, the question is how to take her with me.
For the time being, Mijung and I are stateless, so we are often questioned whenever we go anywhere.
This girl is stateless and can’t speak properly, so she is very likely to be suspected of kidnapping.
“There’s no other way. I’d better reveal your identity to the Vatican and leave your treatment to the Holy See.”
There is no other way.
If I reveal that this girl is something that came out of the Four Heavenly Kings, Kali, the Vatican will take care of her, whether by raising her or whatever.
They will also be on their guard to some extent, so I don’t have to worry about her suddenly revealing her true colors and hurting people.
“Let’s go.”
“Ooh······.”
“Let’s go?”
“Ooh······.”
I take her hand and try to drag her away, but she shakes her head and resists.
Until now, she has been following me obediently.······
It’s as if she has noticed where I’m going.
“Ooh!”
The girl finally sat down and grabbed my pants, clinging to me.
This is inconvenient.I was just sure that it would be a hassle when exploring dungeons or fighting.
In the end, it was the moment I put my hand into his armpit and lifted him up.
“It’s not going to work if you’re going to be a nuisance. Let’s go.”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
The guy sneezed loudly and suddenly disappeared.
All I had in my hand were clothes that had peeled off like a husk.
I was bewildered when the guy disappeared without a trace.
“Woo?”
“……?”
“……?”
Something cute made a sound on the back of my hand.
I wondered what it was when I saw something black wriggling.
A tiny spider the size of my finger joint was looking up at me.
This guy…
I thought he was a pure human being.
As it turned out, he was a monster that could transform into a spider.
Of course, that would be the case if it was a byproduct of Kali.
“You pass. I guess it’ll be fine if you keep carrying me around like this.”
“Woo!”
If it’s a tiny spider, I can take it with me anywhere.
The guy danced around, wriggling as if he was happy.
For some reason, Mijeong puffed out her cheeks as if she was a little dissatisfied.
“……What’s your name?”
“Name? I don’t have one.”
Name.
If we’re going to be together, it would be better to give him a name.
“……Then, can I… give you one?”
“Do whatever you want.”
“……Mijeong, number 2.”
“No, no, no. I’ll just make one up.”
I forgot about Mijeong’s terrible naming sense for a moment.
I don’t know how many times I’ve blown up when I left her to name something.
The Spear of Longinus, the Iron Blood Storm, the Magic Sword…
Oh, the Spear of Longinus was my creation.
Looking back at it, it seems like a really cool name.
“Nameless. Let’s call him Nameless.”
“……Ugh. That’s lame.”
“You shouldn’t say that.”
Nameless.
He has no name.
I decided not to give a proper name to this guy who had split off from the body of the Great Druid Kali.
“It’s time to leave Cologne. I’m sure a lot of attention has been focused on us since we caused such a commotion…”
It’s time to get to work.
.
.
.
“Gasp?!”
Thud.
I sat up with a pounding heart, feeling dizzy.
It had been 24 hours since she had fainted from magic exhaustion, beyond magic exhaustion.
“Saintess. I’m glad you’re safe. But first, a basic examination-“
“That’s fine. More importantly, you… Haah. Where did the man who caused all this trouble go?”
“Are you talking about Lord Michael Jackson? He has already left Cologne.”
“……”
My heart sank.
How did we meet again?
We finally met, but when I opened my eyes, he was gone.
Unable to believe it, Jill ran out of the hospital like a madman.
I visited the cathedral, met the bishop, and asked the leader of the Holy Knights, but the answer was the same.
Eugene had left Cologne more than 6 hours ago.
“Ah…”
Eugene left, just as he said he would.
I wondered if he would change his mind…
Such expectations were in vain, and Eugene was like a single sword.
“I thought I could catch him…”
From Noble mtl dot com
I thought I had eaten my heart out.
I was determined to catch him somehow if I had the chance, even if Eugene hated me.
But that was Jill’s mistake.
In fact, there were several opportunities.
When Eugene was exhausted from magic and stretched out, he could have been restrained instead of injecting him with magic.
Instead of saving Zenon, he could have tied Eugene up with that magic.
However, Jill could not do so.I was more afraid of being hated by Eugene than I had imagined.
Having already been abandoned once, I was even more terrified of it happening again.
So I let him go.
This time, I gave in.
I let Eugene go.
“You’re not coming back again, are you?”
Eugene looked very busy.
But I wasn’t sure he would come back to me even after he was done with his work.
Even he must have thought that he wouldn’t want to come back to such a bothersome woman.
Jill returned to the Briem mansion, sobbing.
Cornelia was nowhere to be seen, having left the room.
Jill went to her room, her eyes red with tears, and began packing her things.
She had caused Cornelia too much trouble in Cologne.
It was time for her to return to Hameln.
Thinking so, Jill opened a drawer and her eyes widened.
“Huh? My, my dagger!”
The dagger was gone.
The ceremonial dagger.
The dagger she had given to Eugene in her previous life was gone.
Jill’s frantic search for the dagger came to a halt.
Her eyes fell on a note lying on the desk.
Jill approached it as if in a trance and opened it, her hands trembling.
-I’m borrowing the dagger.
Borrowing it.
That meant he would come back to return it someday.
It was a promise of a future meeting.
Eugene was not gone forever.
He would come back someday.
To give me an answer to my confession.
