79 – 26. I have a dream that grabs me by the nape.(2)
I overslept a lot.
Thanks to Ruirin, she woke up right after daylight.
I looked around, but I couldn’t even see the teacher pulling his nose.
When she asked the person she met in the hallway, she said she went out early in the morning.
“You are also diligent.”
You should sleep well at times like this.
Her nominal request was finished when she arrived here.
She said that as long as she doesn’t want to live here, if she wants to leave this place, it’s reasonable to think about accepting another request.
In that sense, I was looking for a way to share the path with my teacher when he left, or to be on top of him.
Even if it doesn’t seem like it, her teacher was quite good at telling and teaching, and was very considerate.
To such a subject, even thoroughness that does not easily allow backsliding like Hogu.
Her vigilance was as good as that of any wild beast, and her intuition was keen.
She doesn’t know the world, but that doesn’t mean she’s not stupid enough to accidentally trip her feet.
“Anyway, it looks like nothing really happened.”
No matter how hard she shuts her mouth, when a man and a woman get entangled in her body, there is no choice but to make a sound.
Even though heat and warmth are blocked, sound cannot be blocked.
Since it is a sturdy stone wall, will it be soundproof?
That can’t be.
A pair of a man and a woman lock themselves in a room in a luxurious inn or even a cheap inn?
Well then, you have to use the noise of male and female activities as a lullaby to make a difference.
Even if even men and women are okay, do you witness the rugged men and fluffy hair entering the room with sad eyes?
… This, in another sense, was not good for my mental health.
But it’s full, so I can’t change the room?
It’s very crazy and crazy.
Is that why you can’t sleep?
Not really.
Because that and this situation are different.
“No matter how much it is said to be a knightly training journey, isn’t abstinence from alcohol another matter?”
The fact that his master was drinking and he didn’t even get close to the aristocratic subject woman, to be honest, I can’t help but say that he was comfortable in the position of accompanying and guiding.
Because there were some people who couldn’t let go of that goddamn lust and always had accidents.
Besides, it was even more irritating to treat myself as an object of lust and babble.
In that sense, the teacher was dignified and dignified.
A well-bred aristocratic boy himself.
Just.
There might be a problem with being vigilant even in a place where you need to relax like this, just like the outside.
If you’re being chased in full swing, that might be the case, but I haven’t had any emergencies so far.
So he is trying to solidify his faith as a religious person? That’s not it.
A knight with strong convictions?
Not even that.
“… This is not the time to be like this.”
I need to find a job.
Otherwise, your pockets will soon become lighter.
Because he eats a lot, he must have had a lot of expenses for food.
If he had just eaten like his teacher, he would have been able to save money and settle down somewhere.
‘On the other hand, if I don’t have the pleasure of eating, how can I live?’
It’s all about living.
It is not that Ruilin herself is particularly young and stays away from drinking and singing.
In the first place, where is one or two guys who are weekly at their age?
Those who grew up under strict parents are forced not to drink. Orphans like us, whether they are 3 or 4 years old, stop drinking whenever they see it in front of them.
Just what flavor do you eat?
It’s good for a while when you’re drinking, but you quickly forget it, and your head hurts when you wake up.
Besides, even in a place where safety is guaranteed, how can you be certain what will happen if you become defenseless?
There is no one to trust in the world.
A goddamn world where even the people you trust will betray you overnight.
If you don’t want to be beaten, you don’t have to create the situation itself.
… If you look at it in that way, the teacher would be a good example in just that way.
“Um um um.”
In that sense, the master and himself might be relatively compatible as adventure companions.
It was also useful to be able to dissuade myself from running out of control.
I searched the branch of the Edenrevan Regiment and looked at long-term requests or dispatch and expedition-level requests, but nothing special came out.
Even if it’s not a nearby request, it’s only going to go far away.
This also had a variety of schedules, so it seemed like a rough coordination was necessary.
“It’s impossible right now.”
I’m more hungry than that.
As we headed towards the restaurant and ate as much as we could, even a simple meal, our eyes widened.
I only had hard bread, cheese and milk, but maybe it was because I ate even that well.
Rather, there was no soup or anything to make the bread soft, so I chewed it thoroughly and soaked it in milk over and over again.
“… ….”
From noble mtl dot com
I am hungry for meat.
Leaving the branch building, Ruirin didn’t bother looking for Kariel.
It’s not a baby bird that cries in search of some parent bird.
As a result, she was looking around the first floor to gather information and habitually listen to find out any work.
“Hmm.”
There were more armed people than yesterday, albeit a small number.
That’s all light armour.
It’s the top, it’s an escort, it’s a traveler, it’s more than a pilgrim… How to say
“Come to think of it, this is also a pilgrimage site.”
In the Kingdom of Metran, the existence of Grandeus was a monumental existence that even spread rumors that it had defeated Rueld.
How much more did the most outstanding knight and warrior in the country of knights, a foreign knight heavily armed with noble chivalry, defeat him with a knight’s sword?
… I just felt proud.
It was a topic I wasn’t really interested in.
I’ve been here several times, but yesterday was the first time I actually held a sword.
To that extent, to Ruirin, such a symbol and something commemorative, all felt useless.
“I thought graves were for the living.”
Then what about those who died without graves and fell prey to beasts?
Are those that have been bitten and rotted by the earth, what kind of race and status they are, and they will suffer misfortune due to the gap between the rich and the poor?
“It makes no sense.”
If a good person dies, it’s just a corpse.
Even a bad guy is just a corpse if you search for it.
Death should be equal.
The capricious atrocities of the living that make even death unequal.
But the deceased is silent.
In the end, it’s just that the living use and eat the corpses of the dead as they please.
What she heard from her elderly teacher, who knew a lot, if not even her sage, reminded her that it was not worth solving her questions about her life and death.
I told you to train well and earn money quickly at that time, right?
“Huh?”
In one of the crowded merchants, when he saw Leo and Lucy, he inadvertently turned towards them.
“How are you?”
“Huh?”
The two of them were in the middle of a conversation with a tall, young man with a beard.
For Ruilin, who approached and greeted her first, the man’s eyes lit up with a happy face.
“Who is this pretty little lady?”
Brown hair grown disorderly.
A man with a beard, who wore a wide-brimmed black hat over his teeth, showed interest in the girl who had a new presence.
There was a lot of goodwill in his dark blue eyes.
It’s not a favor without reason.
That’s….
It must be the kind of interest that men only become kinder to women.
In Louis Lin’s silver-tinged eyes, as if she was familiar with even that, her feelings of approval were projected.
“This is Ruirin. And… Ruirin, wasn’t there anything special yesterday? Oh, this is our colleague, Dake. Is this the first time you’ve seen it?”
Let’s lay the groundwork for Leo to introduce and talk first, so the two of them could easily introduce each other.
“Your expression is not good. Do you have any concerns?”
“Hmm? Is it that obvious?”
When the man named Dake scratched her beard and asked an exaggerated question, Lucy Lee kicked him in the calf out of habit.
“Ah! This damn witch lady! If only her appearance was ugly anyway, she went right into revenge!”
“How come you were born pretty?”
“If you don’t speak well!”
Lucy Lee crossed her arms triumphantly at Dake, who was half-joking and half-serious.
“Oh, it burns my throat. Any good pubs? Let’s talk about it while we’re still there.”
“How do you find a good place in a place like this? It just goes where it is.”
Asked Louie Lin, pointing her finger at herself.
“Oh, by the way, Dake oppa? Can I participate in the party where the three of you break up?”
“A relationship with a pretty lady with a guaranteed future is always welcome. More than that, my brother… It sounds very good!”
“Dake….”
Leo gave me a glare with pitiful eyes, but he didn’t care.
“And it’s not even that secret, is it? If secrecy was really essential, I think you guys would have managed to restrain it well? Is not it?”
“That….”
Rusiri slightly hardens her face while looking at Leo and Dake alternately.
Continuously, Dake teased his mouth in a pinjanju tone.
“Oh, we have similar names, but we can’t even get along? It would be perfect if I had a sister.”
“Because you are a few hundred times closer than you?! Is that right, Ruirin?”
“Sure! My sister and I have a close relationship where we can always live together under the same roof!”
Then Dake ran her tongue out in an exaggerated way.
“What? Were you two already in a relationship? Could it be that you are separated from each other in life?”
“Luciri? Are you awesome When did you become so close?”
“… Leo? Why are you admiring it?”
There are two inns, but there is only one place in town that can be called a bar.
The four of them naturally moved to a place that doubled as a bar and restaurant and sat around a round table in the corner.
“What about Segina and Levane?”
When Leo asked, Dake just shook his head.
“If you don’t know, I don’t know either. This is because I came right after I took care of the work I was given.”
“Since we haven’t joined yet, we don’t know anything in particular.”
Then Dake babbled as if grumbling.
“Yes. It won’t be easy to find an unknown hero.”
“A warrior?”
As Louie Lin looked her eyes at the three and expressed her question, Dake turned to the two and asked.
“You didn’t say anything to my little girl?”
“Because we met for the first time yesterday.”
As if to further explain Lucy Lee’s answer, Leo briefly explained the circumstances of yesterday.
“It’s not even the size of a city, is it? Is there such a filthy organization even on the scale of a village like this?”
“Don’t underestimate me. If it gets a little bigger, will this become a small town?”
“How big is it? Double? Three times? If so, wouldn’t there have been a checkpoint added to the area as well as the trading post?”
If it were the size of a city, would Jarl, the lord of this region, have left this place alone?
The fact that the village headman openly oversees the big and small events in the village is only possible because of the size of the village.
Of course, this is neither their property nor their property.
In addition, in a city, a governor or a mayor would have been sitting as an acting deputy for a small city-limited lord.
“Rather Leo. Did you find out anything about the demon lord?”
“Not at all.”
“Didn’t the elder tell you to go here and ask someone?”
“So I was looking at asking questions, but they didn’t cooperate.”
“Who are you?”
“A sword.”
“I heard that before, but why is your name like that?”
“The name is not a sword, but a real sword. Knife. The sword you wielded.”
“What?”
Dake widened his eyes wondering if he had heard something wrong.
What do you mean by that?
“A real sword? What kind of joke is that? Lucy Lee? What Leo said, is it true?”
“… How do I know?”
“Aren’t you a proud witch?”
“What does a witch need to know? It’s okay to be proud.”
When Rui Lin tilted her head, not knowing what it was, Leo held her temple, as if she felt unfair inside.
“Why does everyone not believe me? How many times have I told you!”
“No, no matter how strange it is.”
“You said the same thing last time, right? The elder told me to go here and ask the sword!”
“Didn’t you say that you should ask a guy with that name? But did you mean to ask the real metal? Just because a horse is a horse, how is that different from saying that a horse that rides and a horse that talks is the same?”
“… Ha. You can’t even hear what I’m saying.”
“No. Not that. You should have said that correctly! Didn’t you have a long time in your heart too? You said you were convinced by coming here? Rather than Lucy? You said that, but didn’t you hear anything?”
“…… Joy!”
“Why? Leo heard it, but are you sure you didn’t?”
“No! I fell for treating someone as a narrow-minded woman!”
Leo felt resentful inside, but Dake’s words weren’t completely wrong, so he kept quiet.
I really didn’t know that I had to ask Geom.
I thought I would find out right away if I asked because it was a unique name, but how embarrassed I was when they said there was no one like that.
So I didn’t know what to do and just went to look at the stuck sword.
“Anyway, the sword told me to turn off, and I heard it clearly. And once the sword has spoken, you mean I can talk to you, right? Isn’t it?”
“… ….”
“… ….”
Luciri and Dake shook their heads in unison.
“You must be very tired.”
“Yes. I’ve been called here and there for almost a year without a day off, so it’s crazy… Oh, must it have been more so since the Witch of the West Wind is right next to it?”
“Here you trip me up?!”
Ruilin was stuck somewhere else.
“Witch of the West Wind?”
“Oh, didn’t you know? What about our little girl?”
“… Because I never told you I never said anything.”
“You learned to introduce yourself backwards.”
“Isn’t that something to be proud of? Since she’s a witch, all ignorant people are treated as vicious witches. Do you know that I am not embarrassed?”
It was a word that clearly felt sadness.
Is that why?
As if somehow acknowledging the injustice, Dake nodded her head broadly.
“That’s right. But we know better than anyone that you are vicious and reprehensible….”
Boom!
“Keep it off!”
The table rocked once, and Dake’s upper body collapsed.
“Dake. Let us speak straight.”
“I only speak the truth….”
Boom!
“Kkeek.”
Everyone is dying.
At that time, screams of various kinds erupted from the other side of the bar.
“Aagh!”
“Kyaat!”
From noble mtl dot com
“No, there are so many f*cking rats!”
It’s scary that there’s a commotion across the street.
“Kyaaak!”
Thanks to the rats rushing this way, Lucy Lee lifted her legs up on her chair and let out a shrill scream.
“Why! Why a rat!”
Not just one, but dozens.
Unknowingly, they came and went as if they were stirring on the floor of the bar, eventually disappearing through the cracks in the walls and ceiling.
… Even though it was a short time of less than one minute, the inside of the bar was left out in the aftermath.
Of course, there were quite a few people who didn’t seem to be bothered by such a reaction or had any special inspiration.
Among them, there must have been a rat that got inside his pants by riding his leg, and thanks to the rambunctious man standing up and dancing madly here and there with an elongated scream, laughter burst out all of a sudden.
And a case has been added here as well.
“The picture is nice.”
“Lord, kill me?!”
Rusiri had to surrender herself to Leo’s arms without realizing it.
Her face, belatedly realizing her own ugliness, quickly turned red like a carrot.
“Why are witches afraid of mice?”
“Dake! Why won’t you let go of your mouth?! Did you get a terrible disease that would make you sick and die if you shut up?!”
“No. But if you can’t see pretty girls, you’ve got a dying disease.”
“… ….”
The atmosphere became tense for a while.
“Still, since I’m like Leo or me, I’m dealing with your nasty heartworm, but I can’t thank you for this.”
The table was shaken again, and Dake slammed his face on the table again, making a porridge.
“… It’s kind of like this relationship.”
Ruirin readily agreed to Leo’s words.
“You are having fun.”
“What is fun!” “Where did you see this?!”
At the same reaction, Ruirin clapped her hands in amazement.
Leo asked again.
“By the way, what about Riel?”
“The teacher said he went out early in the morning.”
“Really?”
Unless the town is very large, you will find it quickly if you look for it.
… If so, you’ll have to think of a reason to find or join them first.
Before that, let’s point out one thing.
“Did you just talk about the demon king? What do you mean by that?”
For what I’ve heard in passing, the smell of money?
Anyway, it was a number that smelled more dangerous than that.
