127. The party of warriors I raised restrained me (4)
127. The warrior party I raised restrained me (4)
“… It’s all over.”
Soon I will open my eyes.
I imprison the demon king of greed in my body and bring him home.
The plan was risky, but it succeeded because he believed in the warrior party.
“Now there are four Demon Kings left. I don’t know when it will end, but it feels like I’m reaching the end little by little.”
“Has it been a little over a year? If you look at the time period, it was knocked down early.”
Minerva nodded her head in agreement with what I was saying.
As the grid disappeared and this dark space was collapsing, Minerva’s body also gradually faded.
“Jun-woo will open his eyes now. Goddess is off work now! I’m going to the library, so take care of the rest, fighting!”
“Fighting?”
That’s a call to cheer up…
Now it’s time for a break, so why are you telling me to cheer up?
Minerva’s words of unknown meaning.
With those words, Minerva waved at me and left work.
“… What is it?”
Anxious.
Why are you doing that?
To be honest, the current state of the warrior party was not good.
I watched the warrior party from Grid’s point of view, but they all seemed to be broken somewhere.
‘Luna and Hare, who were with me, are alright at least a little, but… ‘
Especially.
Saten and Estiya.
The condition of the two is very strange.
‘As soon as Saten saw Luna and Hare, she tried to kill her… Estiya touched the holy water again… ‘
Saten is getting thinner as if she didn’t eat her rice on time.
Estiya doesn’t study what she’s told to do, but rather draws.
When I disappear, the party of warriors creaks as if the gears have gone off track.
‘Are you still a kid… ‘
Children who get lost without an adult to rely on.
What should I do first when I open my eyes?
The answer was already embedded in my head.
‘Of course, that method would be nice.’
With such a light thought, I began to wake up in a dark space with a light.
***
‘… That would have been nice.’
Why?
Am I unable to move?
I tried to provide ‘compensation’ for the difficult times.
I couldn’t.
“… Hey guys.”
“Yes, mister!”
“Yes… Oh, uncle… !”
“Could you loosen this rope?”
I can’t move, I can’t do anything.
Unfortunately, however, the warrior party didn’t seem to want to loosen the rope.
“That, more than that… ! Uncle, your body is fine… ? Yes, the wound is fine… ?”
Hare stutters.
Your tone and way of speaking are very different from when you were dealing with Grid.
Hare has a very different face when she is with me and when she is with other people.
She groped for me as she turned the conversation around.
“It’s cheap, you got a lot of scars from fighting… Oh, you must have been sick… I’m fine, mister… ?”
“Your body is fine, so go ahead and get a rope-“
“Yeah, but! Wounds can’t be left unattended… ! I-I’ll get the first-aid kit… !”
Hodadak-
Hare said he would bring a first-aid kit and ran out into the hallway.
‘Looking at the lack of a door, it’s Estiya’s room’
When I open my eyes.
Where did the owner of the room go, and only Luna and Hare remained?
I heard such a question, so I asked the yellow chick in front of me.
“Luna.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Where is Estiya?”
“He threw away saten… not! I went to lie down in my room!”
As if that statement were true.
I heard Estiya’s voice from Saten’s room next door.
-Go away! This cat! I’m going to help your master! Why are you mad at me! Bar, don’t set your claws up! You child! Ugh, aaa!!
Estiya’s screams resonated with a thud.
‘Am I being assaulted by a cat? How weak is Estiya?’
Estiya is engaged in a fierce battle with Kkamnyangi.
I decided to leave Estiya alone.
He spoke to Luna again.
“Luna.”
“Yes!”
“Why didn’t you loosen the rope? I wonder why.”
“Ummm… “
Luna pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something.
If you want to talk, just say it.
Why do you hesitate to answer?
“Luna, just in case… Did you plan anything while I was unconscious?”
“Gee, it’s a plan! I didn’t come up with such a grandiose plan!”
“Then, are you saying that something not grandiose was made up?”
“Ugh, ugh…” “
You’re too sloppy.
Luna said, ‘This isn’t it… ‘ She groaned.
Then, as if she had made up her mind, she approached with a loud cry.
“More than Caught! I can’t! Mister! Answer my questions truthfully! If you lie, they will never let you go! Got it?!”
“Hmm… If you have any questions, I’ll answer them even if you loosen the rope.”
“No! It’s a threat! Be still!”
It’s a threat.
Things are going well.
If this is the ‘reward’ that Luna wants, then I’ve been thinking about playing with this situation for a while.
“Don’t answer me. Just ask me what you’re curious about.”
“Then, feel free to ask questions! Mister! Uncle, why did you torment us!!?”
“Explain in an understandable way.”
“Why did you give us hard work! You can deal with the demon king of greed later! This time, the uncle was too hasty! By putting the devil in your body! How painful it was for us to attack you! Why did you do that!?”
It must have accumulated a lot.
When asked to explain, Luna began to pour out her displeasure like a rapid-fire cannon.
I didn’t expect that there would be so many complaints about this incident.
I asked, looking straight into Luna’s blue eyes.
“Do you think I gave you a hard job?”
“Sure! There was no need to overdo it this time! It was very dangerous for the demon king to enter your body! If you have magic and you can’t control it, we will definitely lose!”
The risk is great.
Given Luna’s stability-seeking personality, it was understandable that she was dissatisfied with that part.
However, she just couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t loosen the rope to ask such a question.
“It sure was dangerous.”
“Right! It was hard for us too! You misjudged that-“
“However, I won’t entrust you with anything you can’t do.”
“… To?”
“I thought you guys would be able to do it enough, so I asked the demon king to handle it. If it’s my fault, then I can say it’s my fault for trusting you.”
“… Eh?”
Luna replied as if my words were being buffered.
Her fair skin was dyed red, giving off a somewhat shameful aura.
Then she asked if she wanted to check again.
“I-you believed us?”
“Yes.”
“Where do you believe in us? I’m a warrior, but Hare isn’t very strong. It’s true that it’s faster than me, but it’s not destructive!”
“You have good physical abilities, but Hare is smarter than you. I don’t know in battle, but I’m much better at grasping the overall situation.”
If 10 people were to be Luna, ‘one person keeps getting together and there are 10 people!’.
Hare answers 10 people without much interest, saying, “People have gathered.”
The two had different views of the individual and the whole.
“There is a difference in speed between opening one piece and one at a time. That’s why Hare is quick to judge the situation, and that’s why he can fill in your shortcomings.”
“Time! They have different eyes!”
“I can see that.”
Since I saw such a movement in the future I saw, it was also because I believed in the two.
If luck overcame the demon lord, I would never throw two people to the demon lord.
“In the first place, Luna. If that’s how hard it is, you’d better hit the hero right away.”
“I didn’t become a hero because I wanted to do it too! I want to quit if I can!”
“Even though the world would end if you quit?”
“… I’m sorry, I’ll just be brave.”
Crumpled-
Luna shrugged her shoulders.
Apparently, Luna was beaten so badly by me that she seemed to have misunderstood.
She must have understood why I pushed through though, since she didn’t lie.
‘I just want to meet him soon… ‘
There’s no need to talk about such useless things.
Because the warrior party has to run properly until all the demon lords are killed.
When I found out about my death, it had to be after all the Demon Kings were annihilated.
“Is that enough of your question, Luna?”
“Yes, a little impressed… not this! Not a bad answer!”
“Then, now the rope-“
“I haven’t solved it yet! More questions remain! Let’s see… “
Luna pulled her paper out of her pocket.
She seemed to have written down the question in case she forgot it.
However, it did not happen that she read the questionnaire.
“Oh, oppa is awake! What a nice lunch!”
Estiya greeted brightly.
Is it because he had a desperate fight with a kkamnyangi?
Her face was marked with claw marks.
“… Your face is scratched a lot.”
“Gwa, it’s okay! If you apply holy water, it will be better! More than that, brother, don’t wake up! I need to take a break!”
“No, rest is fine now. So the rope-“
“Quiet! I am the doctor! Patients calmly follow the examination!”
Moan-
Estiya dragged me from sitting on the floor and put me on the bed.
From noble mtl dot com
She couldn’t do it on her own, so Luna had to help.
Estiya seemed to have no intention of releasing me at all.
“I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking… “
“It’s okay! You don’t have to think about your brother! From now on, I will protect you!”
From today!
I’ll protect my brother!
Estiya shouted confidently and held my hand.
“Brother, lie down in bed for the time being and get some rest! Brother, you need to get some rest! Leave everything to us and rest!”
Estiya smiled brightly and forced me to rest.
At the end of Estiya’s words, it felt like something was missing.
‘Something… ‘
Relax for the rest of your life.
She felt a sense of déjà vu saying that.
