Love Letter From The Future chapter 351

5. Bread and dagger (49)

The feelings Avian had for me were clear.

fear and hate.

Either way, it was a mindset that a colleague who would entrust his back should not have. Especially when the two of them are left alone in an unfamiliar remote area.

Of course, this was just my one-sided point of view.

To Avian, this was not an enemy camp. Rather, it should be said that it is a place where comrades are waiting to be rescued from the hands of evil villains.

She was a girl who once claimed to be my maid. However, it was not a sincere cooperation, but only the result of succumbing to repeated violence and pain.

It meant that there was no reason to be obsessed with me.

Rather, I don’t know if you want to take revenge on me.

As evidence of that, Avian’s face was clear and bright.

On the contrary, my complexion was getting serious.

Hmm, I swallowed my saliva and thought for a while.

In fact, I wasn’t particularly afraid or anxious.

His restraint was at a level where he could throw it away, and his injury had improved a lot. He had the confidence to escape this place alone.

But there are a few things that bother me.

First of all, I didn’t know where this place was.

The place that even the Yurdina family couldn’t find was the elven village. It was normal when I didn’t even know the direction, let alone the location.

I was just thinking that it must be somewhere in the salivary glands.

Therefore, even if I escaped the village, the possibility of safely returning to Yurdina City was not high. The coniferous forest was a place where the road was complicated and many dangers lurked.

I needed a guide.

And secondly, fighting wasn’t always the right decision.

This was in the middle of enemy territory.

I didn’t know what kind of monster was lurking there. For example, what would happen if you encountered more than one enemy of a similar level to that snow leopard demon?

At best, escape was the best.

Not to mention if you encounter an enemy stronger than that.

In that case, it was better to find a workaround.

There was only one problem.

How to get Avian’s cooperation?

Avian was an elf. I just hid my pointy ears to disguise myself as my maid, and the position itself was different from mine.

Even worse, his feelings for me were the worst.

He saw only a future in which negotiations would be difficult.

The evidence soon surfaced.

“Kuh, aha… Ahahahaha!”

An exhilarating laugh echoed through the warehouse.

It was the first time I knew Avian could smile like that.

My eyes widened to the elf girl. Then the blue pupil facing me.

It was a look that even felt madness.

“How dare you assault me as an inferior human being?”

The sound of grinding teeth tickled my ears. The trembling body revealed the size of Avian’s hatred.

The girl screamed as she struggled with her whole body tied up.

“Good! Now both hands and feet are tied, what do you do? We elves will never forget our grudge, and we will surely return more than the pain I suffered… … !”

At the same time, Avian raised the corner of his mouth as roughly as possible.

It looks like it wants to threaten me somehow, but it just looks cute when I see it. Since he was an elf, he had a pretty appearance and was small in stature.

Above all, Avian was making a crucial mistake.

They didn’t seem to be afraid of me being tied to a rope.

My heart was just calm.

I was just a little taken aback when I first opened my eyes. Having crossed countless dead lines, my mind was tempered like steel.

Avian’s threat was not even funny.

On the contrary, I even looked for clues in Avian’s threat.

The key to getting through this difficulty.

If Avian didn’t want to cooperate with me, I could force him to cooperate.

like it always has been.

The corners of my mouth smirked and drew an arc.

“yes? I look forward to that.”

“Heh, bluff… Sooner or later, the price for such a human being who dared to touch an elf… … !”

“My last companion is an elf, it’s an honor as a noble of the empire.”

At my words, Avian’s body flinched and trembled.

And blank eyes turned to me.

It seemed that he had forgotten an important fact in his excitement.

So I decided to revisit this.

“Your necklace, don’t you remember?”

It was only then that Avian looked down at his neck with an oh-oh-oh look.

You can’t see it, but you must have been aware of its existence.

It was an accessory that looked like a choker. It’s hard to tell them apart from the outside, but the Ji necklace was a very dangerous item.

A binding device that explodes as soon as the designated person memorizes the starter word.

It even had a function to detect the magic around it, and it even exploded if a designated person was not detected for a certain period of time.

It was the crystallization of the imperial family’s technological prowess.

And the people designated for that necklace are me and Neris-senpai, only two.

“If I die, you die too.”

In other words, Avian’s life and death rights were still in my hands.

The complexion of the elated girl suddenly turned pale.

She stuttered, trying hard to deny me.

“Hey, my people are here! I’m sure they’ll release this necklace too… … !”

“You elves? That necklace forged with the advanced technology of our empire?”

I giggled and burst into laughter.

It was nonsense.

I could tell just by looking at the way they were using the primitive oven. After hundreds of years of warfare, the decrepit Elves were alienated from civilization.

I didn’t have the ability to remove that necklace.

“You know that? But I have lived in the human world.”

There was not even a need for an elaborate rebuttal.

At that brief persuasion, Avian’s face grew pale.

Elves originally have a strong attachment to life.

The ‘cult’ seemed to be changing the values, but it took time for the thousands of years of tradition of the tribe to change from the root.

Besides, didn’t Avian have a reluctance to socialize from the beginning?

I calmly waited for Avian to respond.

A heart that has already been broken once.

Trees and human psychology were not different. Once it was broken, it would break with less force after that.

The only variable is that sometimes the human mind is stronger than an old old tree.

After thinking for a while, Avian gritted his teeth.

With a determined look on her face, the girl shouted.

“Lord, die!”

It was a trembling tone.

It was clear to anyone that Avian was afraid. Even so, I let out a faint exclamation at that firm determination.

The courage of a hero is different from the courage of a coward.

Obviously the latter was more difficult.

In my heart, I raised my evaluation of Avian.

“You, you are so strong and vicious… How many of our people have you already killed?! So, I’ll sacrifice myself. Your threats won’t work!”

killed the elf

Even dozens of lives.

When I realized that fact again, a throbbing pain arose in my chest. Suddenly, I remembered the scene when I faced ‘me’ from the future.

Hands drenched in blood.

I still had some awkward spots. I’ve taken countless lives so far, but it’s just that the opponent is a personality.

Of course, there was no time to be immersed in sadness now.

I silently listened to Avian’s continued struggles.

“If you understand, calmly organize the last moments of your life… … !”

“Why would you die alone?”

Avian’s eyes widened at my calm tone.

I decided to show you the proof because I was staring blankly at it, as if asking what that meant.

I lifted my tied wrists so Avian could see them.

After that it was simple.

It only gave me strength once.

Then, the rope made an ominous sound as if it would break at any moment.

Avian’s eyes began to tremble violently.

“A lot of people die besides you. dozens? hundreds? How many people will die to subdue me.”

It wasn’t sincere. I was not bloodthirsty enough to slaughter elves.

But more than that, the effect was certain.

Abyan was speechless at the unexpected threat.

He just swallowed dry saliva and looked at me with different eyes.

Those eyes were somehow familiar.

It was the look in his eyes when he first succumbed to me.

There’s not much left now. Sensing this, my tongue moved more menacingly.

“I’ve been taken away from my arms, but I’m confident that I can kill any number of people with my bare hands. Then you can steal the weapon… After that, you know?”

And then I deliberately gave a sullen smile.

To be honest, I didn’t want to fight. The feeling of killing an intelligent being was the worst. Even if they did fight, the killing was to be minimized.

But if you show weakness now, you lose.

Avian had to be completely broken. I continued acting that didn’t suit me that much.

“What do you want to do?”

At my relaxed voice, Avian’s eyes turned to me again.

Perhaps he was still hesitating, but his eyes were pitiful. At the same time, the fear of me seemed to be revived again.

As soon as our eyes met, he hurriedly lowered his gaze again.

It was a matter of time.

My threats were for my sake, but also for Avian.

Avian would want to live.

No one wants to die. Even those who commit suicide do not die because they want to die.

But life must have been difficult to handle.

So I gave Avian an excuse.

It’s not your fault. It is the result of rational choices.

It was a wonderful condition to satisfy the feeling of affection for the same people while saving his life.

“… … uh, what?”

Avian couldn’t deny it.

“What, what should I do… … ?”

Hearing the honorific words that came back, I smiled.

done.

Only then did I present a detailed plan to Avian.

Hopefully Veneta’s advice is still valid.

*

The two elves, a man and a woman, were looking at each other with disapproval.

It was in the middle of looking down at me and Avian. The two, who would be classified as good men and women wherever they went, had very troubled faces.

There were several reasons for this.

First of all, one thing he noticed was that Avian was an elf.

And another unbelievable statement that came out of Avian’s mouth.

As if he had no intention of hiding his headache, the elf man pressed his temple and asked again.

“therefore… You’re a spy dispatched to the south, but you came all the way here entrusted to that human man whose true identity was revealed? And did that man lose his mind while fighting the Witchbeast?”

“Yes Yes. Yes… … .”

Saying that he was a spy, Avian was even printing fake tears from his eyes. It was quite an immersive performance.

Unless you are an expert, it was difficult to determine the authenticity.

Naturally, the same was true of the two elves.

The two made eye contact for a moment, then went to a corner and whispered to each other. It was a scene that has been repeated over and over again.

And the ending was all the same.

Eventually, the two returned to us. It was to ask the question again.

The elf woman drew attention with a clearing of her throat. Pom, with his fierce eyes, looked like he was going to threaten me.

A cold voice escaped from between his lips.

“and you… do you have memory loss? Who the hell are you?”

It was a tone full of disbelief. Hey, I wondered if ‘memory loss’ would sound too lousy.

But what can I do?

There was no such thing as a reasonable excuse anyway. In addition, even if Avian and I insisted, there was no way to verify it on the other side.

I just looked down at the ground without saying a word with my stupid eyes.

long time to do that.

“I don’t know… Who the hell am I?”

Tak, the elf man ran his hand over my face.

Yes.

I decided to postpone amnesia.

In order to blend into the village of the elves, at least for a moment.
