134. Wounds leave indelible marks (2)
On the way home, there were citizens poisoned with holy water.
People walked past them as if they were used to it, and walked towards their respective destinations.
I also passed them and talked to Hare.
“In their eyes, a drug dealer and a holy beast will look the same.”
“My, even when I lived in a bad alley long ago, my grandmother told me not to associate with people like that. She told me not to talk to someone whose eyes were open and whose pronunciation was muffled… “
“So, are you not friendly with Estiya?”
I’ve never seen the two of them talking alone.
Over the course of two years, Hare became quite close with Luna and Saten.
Unfortunately, she gave off an air of alienation from Estiya.
“Do you hate Estiya?”
“That, that’s not it… ! Just… It’s just Estiya, I don’t get along with him… “
“Absolutely not Hare,” She pouted.
“The subject of the words doesn’t fit… I’m not sure what he thinks… I’m speechless… Also, it’s annoying that she talks to the uncle while calling him an older brother… “
“Hmm.”
Okay.
Estiya’s arrogance has skyrocketed lately.
“But I don’t mean anything bad, you understand. He is such a child from the beginning.”
“… Yes, I understand, Mr. I will understand.”
To say that she is nice with her own mouth.
Hare, unlike the first time I saw her, has learned how to put a steel plate on her face properly.
She bent her back slightly, so I stroked her head lightly and said.
“Go and put the ingredients in the kitchen. I’ll stop by the training ground for a while.”
“Yes… ! I’ll be there first… ! Please come quickly… !”
Are you happy to be praised?
Hare ran excitedly toward her kitchen.
Although she has been staying at home in the capital for two years.
This mansion was too big for us.
“The security is so thorough, and there are no eyes on the surroundings, but… “
It’s always uncomfortable when you’re moving.
Irina knows our circumstances.
Walking inside the mansion she rented, I headed towards the training ground where Luna would be.
It was clear that he would be training at this time.
“One hundred and eighteen! One hundred and twenty!”
“Luna, are you swinging a sword?”
“One million and twenty one! A million and twenty-two!”
“… “
Looks like the units have been changed to ten thousand.
Is it because of my mood?
“One million twenty-three!””
Glance-
Luna glanced in my direction and stopped her sword.
Then, she waved her hand at me as if she was happy.
“Oh, mister! Welcome! I was so engrossed in training that I didn’t even notice!”
“… It looks like the number unit just increased.”
“Ki, it’s because of my mood! Anyway! What did you come for?!”
“I’m going to have lunch soon, so get ready to finish training.”
“Okay! Rather than that, what’s for lunch today?!”
“Stir-fried pork.”
“I’ll be right there! Don’t eat it all first!”
Hodadak-
Luna quickly swung her sword through the air.
Her speed was much faster than before, and her destructive power was excellent as she carried strange sword skills.
She made a flamboyant movement as if there was a demon king in front of her eyes.
“One million twenty three, four five!”
Luna wields her sword diligently to fill her quota of swordsmanship training.
Even at a glance, her swordsmanship has improved a lot.
According to the growth of her body, she learned the right swordsmanship for her own body.
‘Her height, and her muscles are well attached. The image of a girl who only ate potatoes in the countryside has long since disappeared.’
Light blonde hair and clear blue eyes.
The grown-up Luna’s appearance was also to the point of being mistaken for her son of a high-ranking aristocrat.
Even with my help, talent has played a role in achieving such growth in a short period of time.
What I do for her is the effect of her mental growth.
‘Now, even without me, he’ll go forward on his own.’
Thinking about that empty seat, I left the training ground and headed for the kitchen.
There, Hare was preparing the ingredients in advance.
“Hare, thank you for always helping me.”
“N, yes… ! Thank you for your appreciation… !”
“Yes.”
If I finish all the things I prepared.
Days like this will end soon.
I was even more convinced when I saw the screen in front of me.
[Jun-woo, all the answers about the devil came out. Two are in the capital. Please finish eating and come to the library.]
[1. I go to the library.]
[2. I don’t go to the library.]
A problem you don’t even have to worry about.
I chose option 1 without hesitation.
***
We moved our residence to the capital and set the rules of the mansion.
First, don’t fight each other.
If there is a fight, resolve it with words as much as possible.
This rule was created after Luna and Saten had a fistfight.
The second one doesn’t bother the old man.
Because someone kept knocking on my door during my sleeping hours, or strange attempts were detected.
This is a rule made with Hare’s opinion.
And the third one is always having a meal together.
No matter what happens, we eat together and share what happened during the day.
There are children who are close to each other, so these are the rules I made.
So if you ask me if the results were effective…
‘It’s not non-existent, there was.’
Was the vague answer.
“Mister, I brought them all… “
Hare brought Estiya and Saten down the stairs.
Estiya rubbed her hand over her eyes as if she had just woken up and walked away.
“Hmm… Oppa, what’s for dinner tonight… ?”
“It’s still lunchtime, Estiya.”
“Wake me up in the evening… I can only eat one meal a day!!”
“So, what is the result of you eating only two meals a day?”
While the other kids are growing up.
You grow as tall as your little finger.
The parts that should grow do not grow.
“You really want to eat just one meal when you see nothing but a bleak future?”
“That, you draw well! Why is my brother fussing with me in the morning! I also studied the bible hard! Look Carefully!”
Estiya put holy power on his hands and moved his arms as if he were dancing.
I made a pattern in the air like that, and it instantly covered the space with light.
“Come on! It’s a healing aura! The wounds of those around you are healed! How is it that I haven’t grown up like this-“
“Put this away and get out of the way.”
Took-
Saten shoved her from behind as if Estiya was getting in her way.
“Kek-“
“Would you mind not getting in my way?”
“Everyone, you almost got hurt! You black hair!”
“Can you get hurt when you have a healing aura?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yeah, that’s true… ?”
Estiya was logically persuaded.
Saten passed her and headed to her table where her food was set.
Compared to the past, when only her bones were left.
Her condition improved very well.
“I still lack muscle, but… It got better though.”
“… I’m sorry, but please don’t look at me.”
Saten turned her head away and refused to make eye contact with me.
In terms of her personality, I could see that she had become a bit picky.
‘Even though I’m still lacking in emotional expression, the range of emotions I feel has expanded.’
I can’t control my anger yet.
In other parts, the facial expression is a bit obvious.
I turned my head coldly even in the case just now, but seeing that my cheeks turned red, I felt embarrassed.
It must be because I stared at Saten’s body too hard.
“Saten.”
“Yes?”
“Unlike Estiya, it is fortunate that she has grown to a moderate height.”
“Are you kidding me? I grew taller, but in other parts-“
“The other part?”
“… No, forget it I didn’t say anything.”
Saten pulled her black cardigan over her shoulders more forward.
She must have felt ashamed again, and her face turned red.
I decided to speak harshly to Saten.
“More than that, Saten.”
“… Yes.”
“Apologize to Estiya for what just happened. Pushing at will is wrong-“
“Okay. Stop talking I don’t want to be scolded by the uncle. I know my fault.”
Saten stood up, biting her lip.
Her eyes reflected her self-loathing.
She knows she too.
She can’t control her emotions, and this happens all the time.
I know Saten’s feelings, so I decided not to question her.
“I’m sorry, Estiya. Also, she couldn’t control her emotions.”
“Hmph, excuses all the time… Fail to control in front of Luna again! It’s melon!”
Estiya grabbed Saten’s outstretched hand, stood up, and ran toward her seat.
At the same time as receiving her apology, her self-indulgent personality was seen at a glance.
Should I say that I am optimistic?
Should I say that he is noisy because he is free-spirited?
I was really confused about the distinction.
“Sit down and eat, Estiya.”
“Okay! Brother than that! Is that teacher coming today?”
“I will come. I will come until you reach the right level.”
“Hey, the class is annoying.”
Estiya put the stir-fried meat into his mouth as he complained about the class.
Today’s menu seemed to be to my liking, so I started eating with my mouth shut.
Saten muttered, furrowing her eyebrows.
“… Seriously, I eat vulgarly. It has no dignity.”
“What! What is dignity!”
“Look and learn. With a fork and knife like this-“
“Why do you need a knife to eat beef stir-fry! All you need is a fork!”
Wow-
Estiya opened her mouth wide and put the stir-fried pork into her mouth.
It was an action that caused Saten to sigh.
“… This is why I hate religious people.”
“Hey, I hate a high-nosed idiot like you more, right? Always act like you know everything. In fact, everything was wrong.”
The two continued their fight with their eyes wide open.
Hare asked in a tone worried that the sacred mealtime would turn into a fight.
“Ah, mister… Would it be okay if we didn’t stop fighting… ?”
“It’s okay.”
“Yes… ?”
“Originally, children grow up fighting.”
To be together at mealtime like this.
We even fight while mixing words.
If it was like before, we would have been stuck in the corner of each other’s room and would have ignored each other without even talking to each other.
“Still, I don’t have feelings for you, so it should be fine.”
“Sa, Saten has no affection from the beginning… And uncle… “
Hare stopped her fork and said strongly.
“We are no longer children… “
“… I see.”
I’m already that old.
On the other hand, I agree with Hare’s serious words.
I had no choice but to immediately withdraw that opinion.
“What, what! You said you’d be back soon after training! Why is this the only stir-fried pork the man said! What it this! You said you wouldn’t eat without that meat!”
“Haa… “
As expected, the hero party was a child whose body had only grown.
“Luna.”
“Yes!”
“Sit down and eat. If it’s not enough, I’ll bring more.”
“Yes… “
Still, if I had to add one more word.
It could be seen that ‘horse’ is a child who listens well.
‘I hope you listened to my last words’
Having such a small wish, I shared this noisy meal with the warrior party today.
