6. Proof of Existence (35)
Senior Elsie, who was barely freed from the battle, was breathing hard.
The focus in those eyes was about to blur. I couldn’t even breathe and had to face the monster’s attack, so it was rather strange not to be able to do it.
He must have saved his life thanks to his many practical experiences.
The blood flowing down the corners of his mouth was pitiful. A handful of blood seeping out through the disturbed breathing was evidence that Elsie’s injuries were still intact.
It was fortunate. Because the first person to be freed was Elsie-senpai.
Yuren and Celine still looked relaxed. Of course, as time goes by, Millie will become those two, but the fact that she can endure it was important.
Against the monster that the two of them matched, the two of them were passing the training. We expected Yuren’s performance, but Celine’s propaganda was unexpected.
You’ve improved your skills a lot.
While I took a deep breath, a look of resentment appeared in Elsie’s blue eyes.
It seemed that he couldn’t overcome his anger.
The small body stood on the ground with trembling legs. Electric charges were bouncing from both hands.
“I dared to water this Elsie Rainella… … !”
The window made of lightning was getting bigger and bigger. The power was unknown, but at least it was certain that it was magic enough to prepare with great effort.
It must be the feeling of wanting to feed it somehow.
However, Elsie’s wish did not come true.
“No!”
Elsie-senpai’s body stopped at that urgent shout.
Senior Elsie and I turned our attention to the source of the sound. Yuren stood there, swinging his sword like a flash of light, blocking the limbs covered with jet-black magic.
“The ‘contract’ must be fulfilled! Do not interfere, you never know what will happen to you!”
Freshly, in the dark, a thick ship came to mind.
A bloody-lit girl was waiting for me with open arms. The halo of light shimmering in those golden eyes created a meaningful atmosphere.
After hesitating for a moment, senior Elsie met my eyes.
I shook my head slightly. Then Elsie-senpai clicked his tongue and rummaged around in his arms.
It looked like he was trying to find a healing potion.
The girl’s languid suggestions continued.
“Now, shall we fulfill the contract? For more than one minute, you have to hug her ‘sincerely’.”
“No,” a moan leaked out of my mouth.
An awkward condition was attached. ‘Sincerely’ was a condition that I voluntarily spit out, so it was impossible to even withdraw.
In the end, I had to move on to the hairy girl.
Kang, Kang, Kang!
There was a constant sound of blades colliding next to me. It was the sound of Yuren and Celine blocking the monster’s attack.
It was around the time I had the girl in front of me.
The girl asked without erasing the smile on her face.
“Would you be okay with just one?”
My body stopped.
The eyes filled with complicated feelings turned to the girl. She was a sinner who had done terrible things, but she was also my lost sister.
A family abandoned by us.
It was a woman who had been captured by the Dark Church. Of course, he was subjected to all sorts of terrible experiments. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle that kind of power.
As if the conflicted gaze made her feel better, the girl asked again with her burning eyes.
“Is it okay if I don’t save those two? You could add a trade condition… … .”
“Don’t listen, Ian!”
It was Yuren’s screams again.
Even while he was out of breath, he was constantly focused on the conversation between me and the girl.
“That woman is a merchant! There is no way a merchant could make a deal without profit… Keugh!”
Of course, I was speechless as soon as the girl waved her hand.
Bloody threads began to surround Yuren as if they were dancing. As the solid lines clung to the limbs of the faceless monster one by one, the speed of his punches and kicks increased incomparably.
The power would have been the same.
I couldn’t help but struggle again.
Certainly, one senior Elsie was not enough. On my own, there was little chance of turning the tide of the war.
Should there be any additional conditions?
It was then that there was a bang, and an explosion resounded from somewhere.
My gaze, startled, turned to a certain point. There, I saw a faceless monster trembling with arms crossed.
What overwhelms it is an ax of such size that it feels intimidating just by looking at it.
Battle X.
Celine swung the ax one after another with all her might until her eyes were bloodshot.
Bang, bang, bang!
Kuk, kek, kueek!
At first, the monster’s body, which seemed to be holding on, began to dig into the ground and get stuck. After three or four more strikes with the axe, half of the body was buried like a stake in the ground.
The monster struggled with its arms, trying to escape somehow.
However, it was not Bol Seline over this, and a cool blow followed as if hitting a flying ball.
Fuck!
The silvery oblique line that simply cut the neck was extended high. The monster’s head and blood splashed across the sky.
Celine shouted in the dripping blood.
“We are fine!”
Right after that, Celine’s body hit the ground and was shot at Yuren.
The corner of the girl who was watching this trembled with displeasure.
“Ah, it was a favorite toy… … .”
“I don’t need a new deal.”
At most, it was an avenue opened by Celine.
I couldn’t make it meaningless, so I declared again with a firm voice.
“Let’s fulfill the contract like this.”
“Chit,” the girl clicked her tongue. Even so, he could not hide his anticipation, and he only opened his arms again with slightly flushed cheeks.
“Then, give me a hug.”
I let out a deep sigh.
It was a younger sister whom I hadn’t seen in a long time. I didn’t know that we would have such an emotional reunion again.
Did I deserve it?
I hesitated for a moment, but it was pointless to ask such advice now.
I quietly and forcefully held the girl in my arms.
A beating heart sounds. Since the condition of ‘seriousness’ was attached, I decided to consider the girl as my sister for now.
It must have been painful and difficult.
So obsessed with family. It hurt my heart to see him yearning for love while hating and resenting me.
I thought I could understand why he had accepted my trade offer.
The expression ‘sincerity’ may have had a decisive influence on the girl’s intention.
He was a child who had never been loved by his family.
Love and affection are unbelievable. Because it was the kind of thing that could be made up at any time.
Therefore, it was necessary to set the condition of ‘sincere’.
Unlike people, contracts are trustworthy.
In silence, the girl’s soft body filled my arms.
hahahaha.
The girl’s breathing became somewhat rough. The hazy eyes and embarrassed face, it was the appearance that I myself did not realize the identity of this emotion.
1 minute like that.
Was it long or short? I gradually separated from the girl without even realizing the time.
The girl had been stunned for a long time.
The slightly heated cheeks, lost focus, and excited breathing only gave us an idea of her condition.
At least he didn’t look bad.
Before the afterglow of the hug had evaporated, the girl muttered blankly.
“… … I can’t.”
What are you talking about, before asking.
The girl took a step. Those golden eyes staring up at my face with their hands behind their backs, a color that was inundated with intense desire.
To the extent that the expression madness would be more appropriate.
Every time I inadvertently took a step back, the girl took a step and kept her distance from me. From then on, the incoherent murmurs began to follow.
“I should have… I can’t do without my brother I want to have it, I want it, I want it… By all means… yes!”
Clap, clapped her hands, and the girl’s face turned bright.
It was an attitude that reminded me of a good idea. In fact, the pupil was seized by a strong desire and still could not see the shadows.
“Let’s make a ‘contract’!”
My eyebrows narrowed at the bright suggestion.
It was nonsense. Even more so, if the target of the transaction was me, there was no point in talking about it.
My head was immediately shaken.
“No matter what I say, I can’t sign a contract… … .”
“I will save you!”
As if to be patronizing, the girl smiled brightly and placed her hand on her chest.
“All! Instead, you will be mine.”
As if our fate had already been decided.
If you don’t accept this offer, you will die.
The girl said so.
*
“Ian… thanks. I will never forget your sacrifice.”
“Don’t be mean.”
At the end of the moment, I obtained it by saying that it was a problem that I could not decide on my own.
As I returned to the arms of the group, Yuren pretended to wipe away the tears and placed a hand on my shoulder. Just hearing the words said that my sacrifice had already been decided.
Of course, I just dismissed this as a trivial joke and passed it on.
To be honest, I wanted to get angry, but there was blood and dust all over Yuren’s body. He was also a person who was buying time on the front line.
There was no one who wanted to raise his voice to a comrade whom he had to trust and entrust his back to.
Rather, it was Celine and Elsie-seniors who were outraged.
“Are you crazy, senior?! Jokes have a time and a place… … !”
“My master?! No way! Can’t you see those eyes?”
At Elsie-senpai’s words, the party’s gaze shifted slightly.
The girl was staring at me with dreamy eyes.
Ever since you were hugged by me, ever since.
Senior Elsie trembled as if just imagining it gave her goosebumps.
“My master is going to be eaten, it’s dangerous… … .”
Despite the objections of the two, Yuren only let out a moan.
He said in a slightly tired voice.
“Then what are you going to do? Our power is objectively not good for that woman. That woman is one of the ‘Seven Sins’.”
“Seven Sins?”
It was a phrase I had heard many times before.
After what happened at his territory and other attrocities of the dark church… I dont think she deserves to live….
