84 – Kiera looking back on life
My mind was confused for a moment, but then I realized.
‘Did the lost power God spoke of mean Kiera? ‘
It reminds me of what Belkran said earlier.
-The girl’s strength is not hers. you are still the owner It has changed into a power that can only be used by being a girl.
Kiera’s power is originally her own.
Do you mean leave it beside you and eat it?
‘Does God think of Kiera as my familiar?’
Does this mean that we should not part with each other?
It’s absurd.
First of all, I released Keira’s dog collar.
“thank you… ”
Perhaps relieved to have been rescued, Kiera slowly closed her eyes and passed out.
The floor gave off an incomprehensible musty smell, and her body was covered in scars.
I could guess that he had suffered unspeakable pain from being treated badly.
He even had a knife stuck in his chest.
I wanted to catch it and pull it out, but I decided to leave it alone because I was afraid that my life would be endangered.
Wake up and ask or something.
“Who kidnapped you?”
Maru thought about investigating the house, but gave up.
This is the Witch’s Village.
If there is a fuss, it only complicates things.
The witches might run into it, and if they tried to deal with it, they might get killed, and the decision was made to get out quickly and find out through the official channels first.
“I never thought I would be able to save you.”
Maru carried the fainting Keira in the arms of the princess and went outside.
After a while.
A giant monster soared over the village.
Surprised witches screamed and rode their wands to chase, but no one could catch up to the monster’s speed.

“Whoops, we finally arrived. It is already evening.”
Maru flew across the sky above the royal capital.
On the ground, the people of the royal capital came out and cheered when they saw him flying in the sky.
Rumors spread about the invasion of the demonic castle, so everyone knew that the monster was Maru.
After arriving at the palace, Kiera was moved to a hospital room.
***
“Did you hear that? The prince came back earlier, but he said he brought the injured Kiera. Kiera-sama must have been through a lot of hardships.
“Has the hero ever been hurt? Where did you get hit?”
barracks.
While the soldiers were chatting, Natalie happened to pass by and overheard their conversation.
She stopped abruptly.
“Hey, peppers there. what did you just say Maru bringing Kiera?”
“Huh, gasp!”
“Ahh… !”
The soldiers were terrified when they saw her exuding a formidable presence.
“What do you mean Maru brought Kiera?”
“Joe, the crown prince said that he brought the injured Kiera-sama back!”
“Are you sure?”
“I-I know that!”
“Why do you want Kiera… ”
Natalie frowned and moved on.
“Did that bitch have another accident?”
To Natalie, the existence of Kiera is just an impurity.
I didn’t like the reappearance of the unclean.
She headed straight to the hospital room where Kiera was lying.
And the moment I arrived at the hospital and checked Keira lying on the bed, her expression changed to disapproval.
“Damn it, it really is.”
Why did Maru bring him?
It was nice not to see you for a week.

Just in time, I found Maru in the hallway leaving the room while having a conversation with the high priest.
“You say you can’t pull out the knife stuck in your chest?”
“Yes, it seems that the sword is enchanted. It is impossible for us unless the caster directly removes it.”
“okay.”
“Eh, Maru!”
“uh? What are you doing here?”
“Ki, Kiera is here… ”
“Did you come to visit me?”
“Oh, no, not that… ”
Natalie hesitated and asked a small question.
“Kee, what happened with Keira… ?”
“There was nothing. why?”
“Hey, where did he get hurt?”
“There is something like that. Should I tell you?”
“Oh no! Nope! me, i just… Kiera and… won’t we meet again? Kiera is a bitch, so I’m afraid she’ll cheat on you again… ”
Maru laughed.
“Don’t say anything strange. My head is on top.”
“thank god.”
Natalie smiled reassuringly.
“I am going back to my room now. you go back Oh wait. How did you get into the palace again?”
“I decided to help with rice and barracks. please accept it again… ”
“Aha. Good job then.”
“Me, over there!”
“yes?”
“Hey. that, that… ”
Natalie hesitated before opening her mouth.
“It’s been five months since I quit drinking and taking drugs and didn’t go to a brothel. Al, just to let you know… ”
“Wow, that’s great. Somehow, his face looked good.”
Maru grabbed her hand and turned her arm over.
Natalie winced as she held her hand.
“The lines on the arms look the same as before. Aren’t you going to sleep now?”
“Yes… Because I’ve decided to listen carefully to whatever you have to say. I will listen very well… ”
She made a shy face.
And as if looking for praise, he glances at me like an obedient puppy.
However, despite her active courtship, Maru was indifferent.
‘Is it PTSD? Every time I see Natalie’s face, it reminds me of her anger.’
When it was the same party, I had to listen to it every day.
“Hey you pig! Move fast! Don’t you eat quickly? You eight-pound bastard who only knows how to cook!”
Honestly, even if I want to be nice to Natalie, I’m reluctant to become close again, and when her tension is released, I’m afraid that the indolence and intimidation will be revived and the relationship will go back to the way it was before.
Once again, the word “pig” will stick to my lips casually.
I just liked it the way it was.
It’s best to be polite and face-to-face with each other.
Anyway, Natalie is not that important to her, and if she leaves, she’s just a being that she can easily let go of.
I deliberately made a bitter noise.
“Be nice to me or not. What do you do after getting hurt? Every time I see you, it reminds me of how you cursed at me every day.”
“Hee, hee!”
Cuddles.
Natalie trembled, wrapping her arms around her body.
“Okay, I was wrong… !”
“I apologize. Anyway, go in and rest. I’ll just go.”
Maru waved his hand and left immediately.
Left alone, Natalie lowered her head and put on a sullen expression.
When will Maru’s anger be resolved?
She thought that if the efforts she had made so far were not enough, she would have to give something more.
If I could take out my heart and leave it to you, I would take it out.
Is there anything comparable to it?
It was Natalie who was deeply troubled.
***
When I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room.
Kiera was lost for a while, not knowing why she had come to a strange place, but soon remembered Maru.
He saved her, she was relieved, but with a bitter expression on her face.
“This is the second time I was saved by my older brother in the face of death… ”
After that, I spent a boring time in bed.
When I was lying in my thoughts, the priests would come and take care of me, and when the time came, they would feed me, take me for a walk, talk to me kindly, and give me a bath.
Perhaps because of the dagger stuck in his chest, the hero’s strength has not returned yet, and as a result, his physical and mental recovery has been slow.
The mind could not escape the shock of the torture, and the body was left with traces of pain.
His left arm was paralyzed, numb and unable to move.
It was evident that it was caused by the experimental drug that the old witch had forced her to eat.
‘It’s my karma. I should have lived a good life… ‘
In the past, he would have had a great resentment towards the witch who ruined his body and immediately thought of revenge, but now he felt liberated.
That painful and painful week became an opportunity for her to look back on her life.
Childhood.
As he died and came back to life in a terminally ill life, the preciousness of life, in other words, self-love became more intense, and he fiercely pursued the money and honor that he so wanted to enjoy in his poor days.
The result of living only thinking of me and caring for me was miserable.
Her warm boyfriend left, she lost a colleague, and in the end, she almost lost her life after being caught by an unknown ugly witch.
“Sobbing… !”
Suddenly, tears were running down my chin.
Is it right to live as before?
Could it be that you are walking on the wrong path?
Am I a social misfit?
I felt weird.
Is there any other warrior who has the power of a warrior and is ruined like this?
The most pathetic warrior was himself.
“ha… no… ! no… ! Whoops! Whoa… ! haha! ha!”
My heart ached from the intense frustration, making it difficult to breathe.
He clutched his chest and let out a heavy breath.
I felt like I was going to die of suffocation.
“Miss Keira!”

Just then, the door to the hospital room opened.
The priestesses rushed in, stunned, and laid Kiera on the bed, soothing her with divine aura.
Kiera quickly regained her composure and soon fell asleep.
Another day passed like that.
***
the next morning.
Keira was staring out the window blankly.
‘What should I do next… ‘
Should Maru get away from him as he wants and give up the power of a warrior and live as a normal person?
Or should I live my life doing things I couldn’t do for Maru?
Thanks to Maru, I lived and died twice.
It was only now that the sense of duty to repay him began to wriggle.
smart.
A knock was heard.
“Come on in.”
Keira’s eyes widened the moment the door opened and she saw who had come inside.
“brother… ”
“Does it still hurt a lot?”
Benzaris stood next to Maru, who smiled warmly.
“I heard everything. You fought Galatea and this sister put a dagger through your chest. I came to pick you up.”
Venzaris glared coldly at Kiera, her expression hardened.
