265. Nirva’s Sky
“welcome.”
Diona and Ares enter the Ren family mansion. Hayoon, dressed in a neat suit, was waiting there.
“Ugh.”
Dionner’s brow furrows slightly as he sees Hayoon. In order to hide it, I scratch my forehead with my hand pretending to be itchy.
Dionner, who grew up watching only neat nuns while living in a cathedral, was a very conservative person who did not understand that women wear formal pants.
“……”
When Ares saw this, he could barely hold his breath. It was supposed to be hidden from Ha-yun, but her eyebrows had already noticed that Dioner was uncomfortable.
“Have you eaten?”
“I haven’t done it yet, but that’s fine. The soldiers are waiting at the dormitory, so we will eat there together.”
The answer itself was the image of an unrestrained commander with his subordinates, but it was simply because of his personal greed not to stay with the Ren family for a long time.
From the request to accompany Ares, to the suit pants worn by the owner, Hayun Ren.
Dioner’s impression of the Ren family was the worst of the worst.
“All right. Then let’s talk right away.”
Hayoon, unwaveringly, ordered the maids of the mansion to serve tea and light refreshments, but Dionner refused them as well.
In the end, the three of them sat around a table with nothing and had a conversation.
Dionor asked bluntly.
“I heard that you saw a wanted man two weeks ago when the light of Nirva disappeared.”
“It’s Lynn. That’s right. It’s probably because of the motivation of Aos.”
dreaming.
Once again, the words that stimulate Dionner’s planting come out.
“Aios.”
Dionysus silently chews the name Aios. I felt so disgusted that I wondered how far this bastard’s academy’s school ties would go.
“haha……”
For nothing, Only Ares smiles awkwardly and glances at Hayun. Please pay attention to deliberately stimulating Dioner’s heart.
It’s the subordinate who gets hit by it.
However, Hayun continued to speak with the same smile.
“Thanks to that, I was able to recognize Lynn. If he had seen Ares, he would have noticed right away.”
“……ha.”
In the end, the hot sigh I had been holding back came out without me knowing. Dioner bowed his head slightly and looked at Ares, but Hayun was still only smiling artificially.
“Before I tell you, I have a question for you.”
“Well, what are you curious about?”
To Dioner, who answered tiredly, Hayun asked something a little out of the way.
“I heard about the size of the Paladins. He came with a large army.”
“It can be seen as an expedition to save the continent.”
An answer that feels impatient. Hayun nodded her head in satisfaction.
“Actually it is. It must have been quite difficult for you to come to Nirvana, but is your morale and condition okay?”
Why the hell are you asking this?
It was Dioner who rubbed his chin with such an expression, but Ares intervened in the middle, fearing that the atmosphere would become more serious.
“Yes, our paladins are training every day, so this distance was not a big problem.”
“That is very fortunate.”
“Relief…..?”
This time, Ares looked a bit bewildered, but Hayoon waved and said it was nothing.
“Then let me explain the situation when I saw Rin.”
Dionner, who was finally able to hear what he wanted, corrected his posture and began to sit down and listen.
However, the content itself was nothing special.
It was over when he informed me that Rin was standing at the top of the clock tower recently built in Nirva.
The amount of information to the point of being in vain.
There is a possibility that Rin has already fled out of the city, and if so, this expedition will inevitably fail.
Dionner wanted to be irritated, but he couldn’t ignore the growth of the Ren family and the value of his name, so he had to hold back and swallow his words.
In the first place, no one gave me this much information during the past 3 years of 6 expeditions chasing Rin.
In the end, the two paladins leave the mansion with feeble steps. At the last entrance, Ares cautiously asked Dionor.
“Is it okay if I talk to the family head for a while?”
“What? Do you know that this is your private time?”
Dionner, who had no intention of giving time to share memories with his alumni, showed off his accumulated irritation, but Ares skillfully answered.
“It seems they are hiding something. It is also questionable to ask about our power. I’ll take a look.”
“……”
“I don’t need more information to make this expedition successful.”
After contemplating for a moment, Dioner made eye contact with Ares, frowned and nodded.
“Ask for any information.”
“All right.”
Dioner goes out of the Ren family. Ares approached Hayun who was seeing him off.
“What are you doing?”
“done. No need to be polite.”
Ha-yun, who understands that he wants to share a conversation, shrugs his shoulders and asks.
“why?”
Ha-yoon throws off her pretentious smile and returns to her usual cold expression. The temperature difference was so great that I wondered if it was the same person who answered as if it was annoying.
“Tana? I heard you’re working together?”
He deliberately intended to lighten the mood by offering a different topic, but Ha-yoon felt rather rejected.
“Why do you ask that?”
“……”
“Ha, I locked myself in my room because I didn’t want to see you. To Tana, you are a dark history.”
Because she was Tana, who always followed behind her back when she liked Ares, she didn’t want to see Ares after she became an adult.
By now, wouldn’t he be kicking the blanket over himself, thinking of himself at the time?
The words “It’s the same for you” came out of Ares’ mouth, but he swallowed it again.
However, Ha-yoon crossed her arms, saying she was annoyed openly, as if she read it from her expression.
“I pretended to like you because of my uncle.”
“Yes, I did.”
It was Ares who had already been explained before, so there was not much emotion. I brought up the past to make the conversation a little easier, but it only made me feel worse.
In the end, Ares gave up trying to get an answer and asked directly.
“More than that, is that really the end of things about Rin?”
“Then did I hide Rin?”
“no?”
“……”
Hayun twists the corners of her mouth towards Ares, who comes in openly, and smiles with a fishy smile.
“I don’t know.”
I didn’t say yes, but I can’t say no.
Ares was sure.
I know something more about Rin.
“Go away.”
bang.
However, Hayun immediately turned around and went into the mansion. Ares, who was standing in front of the door, clenched his fists and turned around.
Even if I said that I was on the same side, I wouldn’t believe it anyway because my boundaries were so high.
‘Besides, time is not the only time.’
Now that you know that Hayun is hiding something, you can ask Dioner to visit the Ren family while you stay in Nirva.
There are still many opportunities to talk.
With that in mind, Ares turned away.
Ares turned to Dioner, who was leaning against the wall outside the mansion. Dioner urged him to report immediately.
“Did you get anything?”
“Nothing has been found, but suspicions have grown. It seems that the Ren family is hiding something.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
In order to contact Rin, a smooth relationship with the Ren family is necessary. It was Ares who explained it that way, but Dioner shook his head.
“No, it happened.”
“Yes?”
“What do you have to wait for? She is now hiding the wanted person the whole continent is looking for. Isn’t it enough to overthrow the family itself?”
“Ha, but if you touch the Ren family like that, the aftermath will be serious! Besides, not sure yet!”
“Did you hear what I said? The whole continent is hiding the existence it is pursuing. There is no problem with at least one family that has been on the verge of extinction and is now growing again.”
That was terribly true.
Ares didn’t know it would come out like this.
I didn’t even think about it, and I didn’t even expect the guts of a narrow-minded commander named Dioner.
“Then let’s go right away and prepare the paladins. Go straight to the Ren family. If it were now, even that arrogant headman would not have expected it.”
“……”
“Ares, if you’re going to ask me to take a look at you because you’re the motive of the damn Aeos, I’ll slap you on the neck right now.”
Dioner, who presses horribly.
In fact, the level of Dioner was not a problem for Ares, so he did not feel a lot of pressure.
Rather, Ares began to fall into a sense of shame.
‘I made a mistake.’
I wanted to do well.
Like Daniel McLain did, he wanted to help by solving the case skillfully.
But it failed.
I didn’t know that my boss would come out so boldly. A raid on the Ren family right from the big city of Nirva.
‘sh*t!’
Clenched fists and twisted lips.
The moment when you blame yourself for ruining yourself and think about how to avoid the situation.
“uh?”
the world is going dark
It was not like the sun was hidden in the clouds.
Darkness falls, swallowing up all of Nirva’s light.
The entire city became noisy in an instant. Citizens’ voices spread everywhere, but it did not spread into a dangerous commotion as it was a situation that had already been experienced before.
Rather, Dioner runs around and turns his head as if poking around.
“It’s a boy! He’s still here in Nirva! Ares! Go to the knights right now…!”
It was the Dioner who was giving orders right away, but it felt strange. Ares blankly staring up at the pitch-black sky.
“What, what are you looking at…!?”
Dioner, who raised his head in line with Ares’ gaze, couldn’t help but be surprised.
“I, that one!”
Fluttering black robes and long black hair.
The rain-drenched eyes staring at something were as beautiful as jewels.
Rin appeared in Nirva’s sky.
