A girl lying on the bed covered with wounds.
Yuriana Hare.
She slowly opened her eyes on the bed where she was lying on as if she had passed out.
“… It hurts.”
Saten That b*tch.
Where’s he really attacking you when he’s wrong and doesn’t even look at you?
Hare grumbled inside her and confirmed the presence of her around her.
Familiar smell, nostalgic smell.
Hare jumped up from the bed and shouted.
“Mr. !? Oh, why are you here… “
“I woke up but you weren’t there so I looked for you.”
“Tea, I found it…” ? Me… ? Lol… I’m kind of happy… “
Hare covered it with her hand, not wanting to show her embarrassing face.
She had to keep her eyes on the figure of the old man, so she moved her finger slightly.
When she saw it, she remembered something she had forgotten.
“Oh, right… ! Mister… ! You passed out from the shock yesterday, but are you feeling well… ?”
“My body is fine. It’s just a shock to the head for a moment. And you better see your body before mine.”
Tak-
The uncle took out the arm of her hare which he had hidden under her blanket.
Then, frowning at her, he carefully observed her wounds.
Hare’s face quickly turned red at her shame.
“Ah, mister… It’s embarrassing if you focus too much on my body… “
“What’s so embarrassing about just looking at your arms? More than that, this wound was scratched by something sharp. Who was your opponent?”
“My, my opponent… ?”
“Yes, Hare. Who did you fight with to get hurt like this?”
Hare met her uncle’s eyes with her eyes trembling.
She had his eyes straight and sharp and seemed to be asking questions to confirm, not to ask questions.
‘Mr. Mr. Mr.… Should I say I fought Saten… ? Yeah, but that’s against the rules… !!’
What should I do?
If you think of it as a child who broke the rules again.
My image you have is ruined.
‘Oh, what should I do… ?’
Hare racked her brains to see if there was a good answer.
Your uncle could have asked the question already knowing the answer, or he might have been to Saten’s room first.
In a situation overflowing with doubts instead of certainty, what answer should I give to give the uncle an impression of being a ‘good kid’?
After such troubles, Hare opened her mouth with a melancholy expression and spit out her best answer.
“If you look at the wound, you will understand. My wounds are not from the demon king, mister… “
“Yes, it is neither the shape of a whip nor the wound of a sword. That much I know.”
“Right… These wounds don’t come from those weapons… Because my wounds are magic… “
“Magic.”
A man whose eyes become sharp all at once.
I couldn’t hide it anyway.
Hare decided to tell the truth.
“… Yes, it’s magic As you predicted, these wounds were from Saten.”
Saten spread her arms to show her scars.
It was full of wounds as if cut by sharp glass.
“After defeating the demon king… Saten and I fought… Sorry for breaking the rules, mister… “
“No, there is no reason to apologize to me. People who break the rules get punished. Apologies to Saten.”
“… “
Penalty.
When Luna and Saten fought and got punished, I laughed quietly behind my back.
It’s a penalty.
Kkaduk-
‘… No matter how Saten crossed her line. Should she have endured then… ?’
By the way, he’s kissing the old man in front of me.
How can I put up with that?
I can’t stand it.
While Hare was biting his nails in anger, the man got up from his chair and walked towards the door.
“I’ll just get up, so get healed when Estiya comes. If you are told to pay for treatment, ignore it lightly. Got it?”
“… Yes.”
“And, one last question. Why did you and Saten fight?”
“Why… do you mean… “
“I wouldn’t have fought because I just wanted to fight. There must have been a reason.”
“… “
Should I tell you the truth?
For a moment, Hare was troubled.
‘The lips of a sleeping uncle… Saten secretly stole it… ‘
She knew exactly that if she said this, Saten would be very upset.
If you want to get revenge on her unresolved heart, now is the right time for her.
However.
‘Even if I tell Mr. It’s not a reason for me to come forward and fight… ‘
I can get suspicious for no reason.
I haven’t made up my mind yet.
Scared of being rejected by her uncle again, Hare decides to hide her truth.
“… It’s just that Saten is mad at what she’s saying. I couldn’t stand it because they provoked us saying that it was good that we were born in a good family.”
“There seems to be a good reason.”
“Yes.”
“… Then, rest in peace. I will go to Saten once.”
The old man believed Hare’s words without any doubt.
I’ll go and check with Saten, though.
Hare believed that if her brain was smart, Saten would give an answer similar to her own.
Although they fought, the two knew each other well.
It was because they were of the same kind with the same smell.
“Oh, right… Before leaving, mister… ! I have something to tell you… !”
Hare stopped the man who was about to leave.
The old man nodded her head as if to say something.
She said, “You told me to apologize to Saten… I guess I won’t have to… “
“… What do you mean, hare? Are you saying you won’t reconcile?”
“Oh, no. It’s not… It means we don’t have to apologize to each other… “
Better than me.
Because Saten was more injured.
“I won, man… “
“Yes, I understand. Get some rest.”
Bang-!
Lee Jun-woo closed the door to Hare.
Then, he headed straight to Saten’s room.
“… Bluff. You are still young.”
The opponent was hurt more.
That bravado was a method I used a lot when I was a kid.
A bluff to keep parents from worrying.
Lee Jun-woo opened Saten’s door to check whether Ha-re’s words were bluffing or not.
“Saten, it is me. Don’t go in.”
“Yes, come in.”
The moment I opened the door and entered with such a small horse.
‘… There’s not much difference.’
It’s the same. What?
It didn’t seem necessary to compare the two people’s conditions.
***
“Saten.”
“Yes.”
“Take a look at my face and tell me.”
“Yes, I am talking.”
“… It’s not looking at the face, it’s peeping.”
Saten doesn’t want to see my face.
She answered, avoiding my eyes as much as possible.
“You’re still watching. Wouldn’t it be enough just to see it?”
“… Yes, do as you please.”
Stubbornness is unnecessarily strong.
Through such a thought, I grasped the true nature of Saten.
The wounds from Hare’s dagger and traces of magic.
The extent of the wound was not severe, and with Estiya’s treatment, it seemed that it would heal without a single scar.
‘Still, did you set the right direction after taking revenge… ’
Contrary to scars.
You look good again.
Saten with a relieved expression while being blown by the wind blowing through the window.
After taking revenge, Saten was finally freed from the memories of the past and seemed to be in a free state.
To the point where he can set the direction by himself even without me.
The eyes looking out the window were clear.
“It’s good.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden, mister? Are you saying you’re glad I was hurt?”
“No, not that. It is said that it is fortunate that the revenge was successful.”
“I see, I misunderstood.”
Fishik-
Saten let out a faint smile.
“It’s all thanks to you. The reason why I was able to take revenge was also possible because you protected my body, are you feeling okay?”
“As healthy as you can see.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Saten took her gaze away from her window and began to scan me.
Saten watched me with her sharp eyes as her hand stroked the kitten as it licked her wound.
“Certainly, there are no injuries. What a relief.”
“I would have just said I was healthy. Don’t you believe me?”
“I can’t trust you when it comes to wounds. You deliberately hide your scars.”
“… “
You are sharp.
Did you draw conclusions after analyzing my words and actions?
Saten’s words were sharp enough to take me by surprise.
Anyway.
I decided to bring her up about fighting to divert the conversation.
“By the way, Saten. Nothing to say about the rules, right?”
“You mean the no fighting rule?”
“Yes.”
“I won’t say anything about that. I was prepared to fight in the first place.”
I was prepared to fight.
When you bring up another child about her family.
I was already prepared for a fight…
From noble mtl dot com
“… As I always say, control your anger. It’s not good when your heart is so cold and your head is hot.”
“I know. But I can’t help it. Emotions lead you to act, and when you come to your senses, you have already acted.”
“… That means you should try.”
“Yes, I will try my best. By the way, uncle. Have you met Hare?”
“I met you before coming to your room.”
“… Is that so.”
Saten furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure.
That’s for a while.
She raised her eyebrows again.
“Well, Hare is on the first floor. The order may be first. So how was it?”
“What.”
“The appearance of Hare. Did I win?”
“… “
Were you thinking the same thing?
Saten said she thought she had won, proudly puffing out her chest.
“Looks like you didn’t even feel shocked about my appearance because you saw Ha-re first. Since she came after seeing a rough appearance in front of her, it must be natural. I understand, mister.”
Saten poured out with a rapid-fire cannon.
I lowered my voice and calmly cleared the air.
“Saten.”
“Yes, mister.”
“No matter how much I look and think about it, you guys are in the same state.”
“What is that… “
“That sounds like a draw to me.”
“… “
Saten frowned at her as if her pride had been hurt.
Maybe both of them deny the reality of a draw.
Looking at the satin that dyed her face red because her bravado was exposed, I thought to herself.
