139 – A touch lurks on the island (8)
It is a weapon that flies at such a speed that even Chester, who has excellent intuition and instinct, the hero Urgo, and even the people at the top cannot react.
bang! The moment he heard that sound, Chester realized that he was lying face down.
‘uh?’
A very small iron ball, riding on terrifying momentum with the power of gunpowder, burrowed into the human stomach.
“… … !”
That was all, but not even a scream could come out of Chester’s mouth.

Looking at it objectively, even though it was a small iron ball, the size of a fingernail, stuck in her stomach, she felt a shock as if she had been hit by a giant’s fist.
“Chester… ?”
Chester collapsed immediately after the loud noise, and Monia, unaware of the situation, approached Chester with confused eyes.
On the other hand, Urgo, aware of the gun’s existence, turned his head to look at Rotin.
Rotten is looking at Chester with a distorted, extremely distorted face.
There was no trace of that figure that always smiled coolly and moved with a confident face, and there was a man with a broken heart buried on the floor.
His eyes saw Monia, who was approaching him with Chester and trying to hug him.
Rothin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut without saying anything, and began to approach Chester with his lips quivering with anger.
Urgo grabbed Rottin’s shoulder.
“Rotin. It gets ugly. Stop it.”
Two men were fighting a duel amidst many circumstances and emotions, and from the moment they intervened, it was ugly to the point of ugliness, but Urgo tried to stop Rotin.
Of course, none of the worry in Urgo’s voice entered Rottin’s ears.
“shut up. Give me the knife.”
When Rottin glared at him, Urgo silently handed the cutlass he was holding to Rottin. Then he stepped back and watched Rottin’s back as he approached Chester.
The feelings that arose when I saw Chester and Monia that night come back to me. I thought there was no way my heart would be shaken by things from the past.
But at the same time, Urgo wasn’t alone like he was back then, and he couldn’t be stopped because it was a decision made by his master, Rotin.
No matter how he behaves like that now, to Urgo, Rotin is a benefactor who helped him avenge his family. He couldn’t be suppressed by force.
“Whoa.”
While Urgo let out a sigh filled with secret feelings in his frustrated heart, Monia, who saw Rottin approaching, bit her lip and stood in front of Chester to protect him.
– What are you going to do?
A young warrior who was looking at it from behind asked the black wind with an angry expression.
The Black Wind also saw Chester collapsed, enraged at the interruption of Chester and Urgo’s duel.
– Chester asked me to keep an eye on this. So watch.
– But Monia could get hurt.
– Well. I get it. then intervene
The people at the top held small stones in their hands so they could intervene at any moment. It can be thrown quickly, and it rolls a weapon in its grasp that can kill lightly enough.
“Ouch… !”
Chester tried to stand up, clutching at his bleeding stomach. However, in a situation where he had already reached his limit, he was hit with an intense shock that shattered the tension at once and pounded his whole body.
Shaking legs prevented Chester from standing up properly, and he slipped on the sand and fell again.
“Chester!”
The moment Monia involuntarily turned to Chester, Rottin stabbed the cutlass and held it close to Monia’s neck.
Those who flinched their arms watched the situation again as the cutlass stopped near Monia.
“Black!”
When the blade suddenly thrust into the nape of her neck, surprised Monia hesitated and stepped back, and Rottin took a step closer to her with the cutlass on the nape of her neck.
“Why?”
And so I asked.
“Why why! why! why? Why are you looking at a butler like that? why? you, you, you can’t You can’t do that! That’s not you!”
“Yes? suddenly that no, huh?”
Monia, who did not understand the sudden words of Rottin, frowned, and Rottin, who saw that, chewed his lips.
“That day, that night, you weren’t like that. It was beautiful like a well-made doll. Only one in this world, beautiful and special! That kind of woman!”
“what… … .”
“It was beautiful! It’s not smiling flatteringly at others, it’s not pretending to be close to someone in order to stab someone in the back, and it’s not about putting others down and praising yourself by making fun of your tongue! It’s not like I’m giggling at the common flattery people around me! just be bold! beautifully! cleanly!”
Rotin looked at Monia.
“But what now? Why why? Why do you look at a butler like that? why? why? Why!”
that’s not funny bullshit Rotin’s inner heart said. In fact, this Monia is also beautiful now, and she didn’t fall in love with it even more.
Actually, isn’t that what you want to say?
What Rotin wanted to say was simple. Why are you saying it’s not you? Why do you send those feelings to someone other than yourself?
But Rottin couldn’t bear to say that. He did not have the courage to face the miserable reality of being betrayed and heartbroken after having had a crush on his own accord.
“Why did you become so normal!”
“… … .”
Monia looked at Rotin with bewildered eyes.
What is this lunatic who suddenly appears and speaks incomprehensible words?
On the other hand, Rotin had to grind his teeth desperately to suppress the ugly feelings, inferiority, and defeat that were brewing inside him.
why? Why does Monia love someone else! Why! Why not yourself but someone else! why!
Rotin has experienced many things while wandering the world.
I know how colorful the feeling of love can be, and how complex and bittersweet stories can be made.
The story of a man who was straddled on two legs and then one day fell in love with someone sincerely and was stabbed in the stomach while trying to cut ties with others.
The story of a prostitute who died of jealousy of a man who fell in love with her sincerely because of saying nice things to her while sleeping with another man every night.
There was a man who succeeded in reversing his life by marrying an aristocratic woman with nothing but love, and there was also a noblewoman who married a commoner man and ended up in ruins.
I know of an old man who died after being betrayed by love and living alone for the rest of his life.
It is love that can make someone happy while dooming someone to endless misery.
yes.
Know.
I knew it from ‘the story I watched’ or ‘the story I heard from others’.
However, Rotin never thought that he would become a party to such a love story.
A young lady whom he had loved for more than ten years was abandoned by his family in an unfortunate accident and abandoned on an island. In less than a year, he fell deeply in love with his butler and became a man’s woman.
It was as Urgo said.
ugly
If this is the case, doesn’t Rotten himself become too ugly?
A young boy who embraced his unrequited first love screamed inside Rottin. The scream shook Rotin. A terrible demon born of a mixture of negative emotions whispers behind his back.
I expected a child to play in a clean snow field that no one has polluted, but when I went to the snow field, I felt like someone was already leaving footprints everywhere and looking at me.
This could not be put into words.
Thoughts do not connect, thoughts do not advance into words, and rationality and reason have long since been trampled on and disappeared.
Emotions swirl. It looks like it will explode.
Is this the love that was trampled on, the love that was crushed without even starting?
“uuu!!”
Suddenly, a cry like the roar of an animal flowed from Rotin’s mouth.
Monia suddenly came and made strange noises by herself, then suddenly saw the screaming man and backed away in fright.
While he is unconscious, he grabs the fallen Chester and moves backwards to quickly retreat from this place.
“Whoa… . Whoa… !”
Monia dragged on and looked at Chester.
Chester, clutching at his stomach, didn’t lie still, wondering what he was thinking, but continued to breathe deeply. Taking a deep breath, I look at Rotin.
“Just, just lie down!”
Monia knows. Taking deep breaths like that was a ritual that allowed Chester to catch his breath and give strength to his body before he could move properly.
However, Chester did not listen to Monia’s words and calmed the body’s confusion and mental agitation caused by the unknown attack, and squeezed the power as much as possible into the weak body.
‘I have to stand up.’
There’s no way that lunatic would back down like this. I will definitely wield that cutlass in my hand.
I had to stand up before the blade was pointed at Monia.
Chester quietly whispered a favor to Monia, then tried to get up somehow with her help.
Eventually, defeated by Chester’s stubbornness, Monia helped him get up.
‘Stand up.’
First, stand up and stand on your own two feet. If that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t matter.
Chester continued to move his legs, even though his punctured belly hurt terribly deep down in his tummy because of the abdominal muscles that moved with every movement of his legs, and it felt like someone had shoved melting wax wax into his stomach.
Sometimes I slipped on the sand and collapsed again, sometimes I fell forward because my knees gave out, and I still want to get up.
‘can do. can do. You’ve already done it a few times. right. you can do it. let’s recall You fought a bear. let’s recall Even then, you just wanted to collapse. You still got up and you won can do.’
Focus your mind and move your body. The trembling was suppressed by squeezing my thighs with my hands to the extent that my legs hurt.
no strength However, it’s okay.
Blood pours. It didn’t matter though.
I didn’t have the strength to lift the machete, so I let go. The weapon is gone, but what?
Even if everything else disappears, evil and evil remain in the heart.
One step, two steps, move carefully… Chester finally stood up.
After standing up, Chester pulled out his knife made from the island’s minerals.
Chester’s claws shining brightly in the sun’s light. Chester’s Horn. Chester’s Fang.
His last remaining weapon along with evil and kang.
My vision was blurry. The world seemed distorted. It was hard to breathe, and every time I moved I felt a throbbing pain as the wounds opened up all over my body.
Each step was as penance as if walking on a path dotted with thorns, but Chester moved.
When I moved, the sand splashed and entered the wound near my ankle, causing terrible pain.
Sobbing, Rottin looked at Chester approaching him.
The moment he saw the cheeky butler approaching him, standing as if to protect Monia, the devil’s voice whispering behind Rotin grew stronger.
“Why.”
The jealousy of an ugly man who had his own expectations but was betrayed at his own pace fueled him.
“Why you! Not me!”
In the end, Rotin threw the words out of his mouth that he never wanted to say and rushed at Chester.
“Haaa.”
Chester let out a small sigh and looked at Lottin, who charged in and brandished the cutlass, and put the knife in front of him.
My whole body hurts, my head is dizzy, but my senses are surprisingly upright.
It is difficult to tell whether he is walking properly because his eyes are shaking, but a straight line of sensation informs him that he is moving straight.
That’s why Chester lowered the sharpness of all his senses as much as possible and focused only on that one line that bloomed in his heart.
He put his life on top of that single sense created by the mingling of the hunter Chester’s reason and the instinct of a creature he had kept deep down since he was born, and faced the rushing blade.
