Mission No.5 A world only for you (12)
Of course, as Ewald said, Rahaf did not cover those bright yellow eyes. Instead, he was glaring at Elif with eyes that would kill him at any moment.
Ebalt must have felt Laharp’s gaze as well, so he lifted up Elif’s body, which she was holding like a princess, and pressed it closer to her chest.
However, Ewald remembered that Elif’s treatment was urgent. Her wet blood flowed from her hand as she held her.
And Rahaf’s keen sense of smell did not miss the scent of the blood.
At once, Ewald’s teeth were roughly meshed.
“Don’t get your appetite back.”
“… It’s been a long time since we met, don’t insult me, Ewald.”
With a hard tone, LaHaf revealed this.
Of course, that did not pose a great threat to Ewald. No, let alone threats, it only boosted Ebalt’s temper.
Now, Ewald’s companions are not Rahaf, but Elif and seven others. Ewald did not allow any gaps for traces of the past with Rahaf to penetrate.
“How did you live?”
However, Rahaf threw a question in a delusional voice as if he was not interested in Ewald’s reaction.
Ewald tilted his head in strange emotion, took a step back, and opened his mouth.
“I lived roughly. Going through something like this and that.”
“… I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
Ewald quickly surveyed the battlefield.
Ewald, having grasped at a glance all the way from Dvahur, whose wrists were still under Rahaf’s feet, to Felix and then to Spea Eccrine, threw a smile tinged with cruelty at Rahaf.
“I heard you’re raising a guy named Felix.”
In an instant, Rahaf’s expression strangely distorted.
Either that or not, Ewald looked at Rahaf with the same expression as he did while examining Felix’s movements.
Although he had been watching and traveling with Laharp for decades, Ebalt had never experienced a human named Felix, so Ebalt was on edge.
Of course, they were prepared to cut off one or two of Felix’s limbs if they showed any signs of being strange.
It is also within Ebalt’s options to suffocate him if he decides his men are in danger.
Laharp nodded his head, throwing words of approval.
“I am raising it.”
Ewald began to intimidate Rahaf with a relaxed face.
“Then I will only ask for a few things. Listen carefully.”
Laharp tilted his head at Ebalt, casting a curious glance at him.
“If you can listen.”
“That is none of my business.”
With a long smile painted on his lips, Ewald quickly opened his mouth.
“Get your feet away from the dwarves stepping on them.”
“That’s about it.”
Gently removing his foot from Dvahur, Laharp jumped up behind him.
Dvahur, who wielded an ax in the space and messed around with it, finally let out the swear words and moans he had been holding back, and spat out curses that he couldn’t tell whether it was directed at Rahaf or Ewald, and Ewald looked at Rahaf with a bitter smile. Has been fixed.
“Is that Felix over there?”
Ebalt clicked his chin and pointed at Felix, and Laharp, who glanced at Balt to see where Balt’s gaze ended, simply nodded his head.
“Tell that bastard to be a bit dented. Before it gets screwed up.”

Laharp nodded his head.
“Felix, be crushed.”
Felix’s face contorted in an instant. However, Felix nodded his head with a gloomy expression as he could not continue his words at the sight of Laharp smiling calmly at himself.
Although he didn’t like it, Ewald nodded his head first, judging that it would not do any harm to the crew and survivors if it was distorted that much.
However, Rahaf’s sharp words flew right away.
“Put down that rotten b*tch.”
“… What?”
Ewald, who was standing there holding a ‘rotten b*tch’ named Elif, blinked at Rahaf’s sudden request.
However, Ewald, who soon came to his senses, smiled meanly for some reason.
“Is this the kid who fell to Kswice because of you?”
“But what?”
Rahaf crossed his arms awkwardly and turned his cold eyes to Elif.
In those eyes, Ewald had to put on a smile that didn’t seem like anything.
“I sat there talking bullsh*t.”
Ewald slowly moved his feet to the left in a large circle around the lah harp.
Like a sunflower looking at the sun, Rahaf was staring at Ewald, who began to circle around him, with eyes that were difficult to describe.
However, most of his eyes were on Elif, who was in Ebalt’s arms.
He didn’t know when he had fallen, but after walking next to Shu Pea, who had a ferocious expression on his face, Balt checked his safety along with Eccrine.
Despite being swept away by the flames and pinned to the ground, Speaa swayed between the still-breathing dwarves, applying bandages, and when she checked the face of Ewald, who approached silently, she mercilessly frowned and screamed.
“What? Were you alive?”
“… Howdy.”
“What is ‘Yeo’ and ‘Yeo’! I thought I was dead because I was stuck in Kswice!”
However, in contrast to the harsh words, Shupea’s face was filled with a thin smile.
Seeing the smile at the end, Ewald had to smile awkwardly.
“… Look at me.”
Ewald, who changed his posture from a shy smile to a smirk, quickly put the elf in his arms to the floor.
Although Shupea grumbled, she pulled Elif’s body and examined the wound. Meanwhile, Balt moved quickly away from his men.
It was then that Rahaf’s gaze fell away from the rest of the crew.
Anyway, she didn’t even pay attention to anyone other than Ewald.
From the moment Elif was handed over to Spea, Rahaf’s attention was fixed on Ebalt.
“I’m glad you’re doing well.”
Ewald, with her bottomless bottom, took her gaze away from Lahalf for a moment and let out an embarrassed voice. Then, Laharp, who was looking at Balt’s face, nodded her head with a small smile on her face.
“That’s right. You should be fine in the future.”
Ewald still couldn’t look at Rahaf. It seemed that if she met her eyes now, her true feelings would be revealed.
Rahaf smiled silently, still looking at Ewald.
And Felix’s molars broke out as he looked up at Rahaf.
“Ewald.”
Ewald’s eyes reflexively returned to Rahaf. He let out a short breath to see if her mind had calmed down, and waited for Rahaf to speak.
And Laharp opened her mouth.
“I’ll ask you one thing.”
Ask?
In this situation, Ebalt nodded her head and accepted her words as Laharp pondered what to ask for.
“Try.”
“My dog bit a person and I want to apologize.”
“… Uh?”
Didn’t you hear it right?
“I’m sorry, Ewald.”
For a moment. Ewald couldn’t believe the words that came out of Laharp’s mouth.
Did Rahaf say he’s sorry?
It must have been quite a shock, so Balt stared at Laharp’s face for a long time and shook her head with a confused expression.
“… Isn’t that what you did?”
“Because it’s true that my dog was bitten.”
Laharf lowered his head slightly, then raised his eyes and opened his mouth.
“Then save Felix.”
Who do you want to save?
Ewald made a bewildered expression at the request of Laharp, who jumped out of nowhere, then she changed her expression to a completely distorted face, revealing her fangs.
“Do you think the word ‘so’ is timely?”
“Since I apologized, let Felix live.”
Even if I spit it out in my stream of consciousness, I would not say such a thing. However, Rahaf showed atrocities by tilting his head.
“This is the first apology in my life, is that not enough?”
“It’s a rare scene, but it’s not very valuable. It’s not something that can be done with just an apology.”
Rahaf’s face quickly darkened.
“… Is there anything you want?”
“Is there anything you can do for me?”
A bit of a cruel smile came over Ewald’s face. In contrast, Rahaf’s face became a little darker.
“What do you want me to do for you?”
* * *
“Pretend you didn’t see this much.”
Felix, who was trying to escape, was tortured to the point of breaking his bones, but Balt tied Felix tightly the same way he used to tie Usbel, and his mouth filled with ridicule.
Felix drew his dagger and tried to confront Ewald, but he had to sit down without a single sound from Laharp’s blow that mercilessly shattered his ribs.
However, Felix was still expressing his ill will toward Ewald.
Felix, who knelt down in front of Ewald, looked like he had the world’s resentment in his body, but his face glared at Ewald was fiercely twisted.
While looking down at it, Balt licked his lips.
“You’re a bad friend.”
Anger slowly lifted his head from Ebalt’s chest. However, Ebalt tilted his head at the fact that, strangely, his anger did not grow.
Obviously, Shuheim Dvahur was completely destroyed and the crew members were injured, but I naturally thought it was strange that I wasn’t angry anymore.
Was it because Rahaf shattered Felix’s ribs, or was it because he promised to receive ‘something’ from Rahaf? Ewald calmly suppressed his puzzled mind and looked down at Felix.
“Are you saying you just sent this guy away!”
However, Dva Hur’s position is completely different from Ebalt’s.
Dvahur, who danced wildly while holding on to a huge ax with only one left arm – and his wrist was also tattered – spit out curses that only Dwarves could understand high up in Kazelheim, and with superhuman patience the curses rose to the pit of the stomach. Spit it out.
“It’s ugly.”
“Is it?”
Ewald and Rahaf looked side by side at Dvahur, who was performing an ax dance with the momentum of snapping Felix’s head at any moment.
The first to speak was Rahaf.
“I want to hear from you.”
“In this mood right now?”
Ewald turned to Rahaf with a bewildered face.
“Rahaf.”
“I am listening.”
Laharp, whose bright yellow eyes twinkled and a cruel smile on his lips, moved his sweet tongue at Ewald.
“Tell me, my love.”
At once, Ewald’s expression frowned.
“Don’t make that giant goat sing a hymn.”
Ewald completely crushed Laharp’s heartfelt words to the bottom and opened his mouth.
“I recommend getting out of here right now.”
Rahaf’s eyes, similar to those of a beast, became sharper than ever. But Ewald pulled something lodged beneath his chest up to his throat.
“I can’t say for sure what will happen if you stay here any longer.”
Rahaf’s face was completely distorted. The bronze beer mug in her hand crumpled with a terrifying sound.
However, Ewald’s gaze, not caring about such things, looked straight into LaHaf’s eyes, which had cooled down.
“Because if you disappear now, I won’t pursue you.”
“… Aren’t you going to kiss me?”
For the first time, subtle emotions appeared on Rahaf’s face.
However, Ewald, who was the object of that emotion, looked straight into Rahaf’s eyes with an expression that would cut anyone off with a knife and opened his mouth.
“The time we traveled together is over.”
“… Ewald.”
Ewald’s head turned to the floor.
Countless memories ran through Ewald’s head.
However, Ebalt, who had shaken off all lingering attachments to those memories, looked at Laharp with a bitter smile and put the chain in his hand on the table.
Rahaf’s sharp gaze confirmed the chain Ewald had put down and the end of its extension.
Felix, twisting his body at the end of the chains, came into Laharp’s field of vision.
Rahaf looked at Ewald with a very miserable smile.
However, Ewald tried to avoid Rahaf’s gaze and stood up from his seat.
“Rahaf.”
As soon as his own name leapt from Ewald’s mouth, Laharp quickly raised his head, with an indescribable feeling of anticipation in his chest.
And Ebalt, whose expression was full of sorrow, said goodbye to Raharp with his eyes dripping with bitter water.
“I had a great time meeting you.”
