(EP.126)Queen #1
126 – The Wise Queen #1
aaa
It rained like a hole in the sky.
In this kind of raining situation, even the tough wild animals that live in the forest will hide in caves or roofs.
Having been busy walking around, I also found a hut where I could take shelter from the rain for a while.
It was a hut with rotten wood, ragged doors, and smashed windows, but it’s still wiser to hide under a broken roof than to wander around and get wet.
Even though Ira didn’t like it, saying, “You dare me to hide under that shabby roof?”
However, Aira, who had no other way, ended up entering the narrow hut with me.
profit.
The hut had a simple structure with a dining table and a bed in one large room. To exaggerate a little bit, it feels full when Ira and I walk in.
smart-.
Rainwater was seeping in through the cracks in the old roof, but compared to the rain pouring from outside, it is a charming level.
“Still, it’s okay on the inside. Tae-oh, I found it well.”
“I thought it would rain in the evening.”
He took off his wet Angmar’s robe. It seemed that it was not waterproof, so it was completely soaked in water, and every time I squeezed it, it spewed out a gourd of water.
“Hehe-.”
I was wearing wet clothes, and the wind asked me through the crevice of the door, and my body trembled.
I’m going to catch a cold
But now, there was something I had to take more care of than my body.
squeak, squeak.
Ira was treading on the wooden floor in mud and rain-soaked women’s loafers. I don’t know if it’s fun or dissatisfying that it squeaks and squeaks every time it happens.
“Ira-sama, is there anything wet or dirty?”
“no.”
Ira’s answer was concise.
In fact, her body was not wet with a single hair from the rain that had just poured down. I don’t know exactly why, but I’m just wondering if there must have been a magical action.
“But now I see that the shoes are dirty.”

Creak, squeak-, creak.
Oh, the thing that was moving my feet on the wooden floor was trying to shake the mud off my shoes.
slurp.
“How dare you stick to the muddy subject, clinging to the queen’s body, trying not to fall off.”
squeak squeak.
However, the task of wiping the mud off the shoes seemed far-fetched.
Aira was gifted with magic and tyranny, but in everything else, she was inferior to the average person.
squeak, squeak. wiggle wiggle.
I had to quickly open my lips because I was afraid that the hut would collapse at Aira’s kick if I stayed like this.
“I will clean it. Put your feet this way.”
I took out a wet handkerchief and knelt in front of Aira, wiping the mud off her shoes.
But as I was wiping, I noticed that Aira’s stockings were also wet to the ankles.
Even for an archmage named Aira, it seemed unreasonable to completely protect herself from the pouring rain.
“The stockings are wet. May I take it off?”
“Yes.”
I took off Ira’s shoes and pulled down the stockings that ran up to her pelvis.
Pale white thighs and rain-soaked soles are exposed like a swan’s neck. It was very cold to the touch of my feet.
“I’m going to make a fire, so I think it would be good to dry yourself a little.”
“okay.”
I broke the old chair and put it in the small fireplace in the corner of the hut.
When a flint placed nearby was chopped and bounced with a sharp dagger, sparks sprang up, but it seems far from igniting because there is no such thing as hay.
If Aira made a fire with her magic, it would have ignited easily.
swipe.
I glanced over at Ira, and she was just sitting on the table, waving it back and forth as if showing off her long legs.
Doing nothing and just playing.
this is the queen
The queen is still
If I too become the great king of Angmar someday, I will do nothing and let everyone else do it. Then I have to make Aira do all my annoying errands.
In my head, the image of me acting as a servant to Aira is drawn and then erased. It must be said that there is a part that I can’t imagine well, so the scene doesn’t come to mind.
“Tae-oh, what’s wrong?”
Then Aira spoke to me.
I wanted to ask him to help make a fire, but the embers came to life and I was able to save my words.
As the dry firewood burned, the cramped hut was instantly enveloped in a dazzling warmth.
It will take a while for the air to warm up, but it is still warmer than I thought, so it feels like my body is melting. Only then was I able to look around a bit.
A hut that people have not been able to reach for a long time.
“Who would have lived in a place like this?”
When asked to appease the enmity, Aira laughed huhu-huh.
“Tae-oh, there’s no way people could have lived in a place worse than a dog house like this, right?”
“okay.”
* * *
Even after a long time passed, the rain showed no sign of stopping.
Kwarreung, Kwarreung-. Whew-.
Rather, it was to the point of terrifying that thunder and lightning struck and the wind blew and shook the hut as if it was about to collapse.
“Only like this, it will be difficult to get out.”
I looked up at the sky through the crack in the door. The world was so dark that I couldn’t tell if it was late afternoon or night.
profit.
After closing the door, I had no choice but to make more firewood by smashing furniture I saw nearby. If we go on like this, we may have to spend an entire night here.
If I had a roof and a wall, I wouldn’t mind spending enough nights. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen like a variable if Aira spent a day in such a shabby place.
It seems to be quite peaceful now, but after a while, Aira, who soon became bored, said, “How dare you let me stay in a place worse than this doghouse, Tae-oh gospel death penalty!”
“… … .”
But Ira was very calm.
It’s been a couple of hours already. Even the most patient person would feel bored and frustrated if he sat still and avoided the rain.
The Aira closed her eyes without saying a word, so she had no idea what she was thinking.
“… … .”
“… … .”
each other’s silence for a long time
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Quarreung-.
Thanks to this, the sound of rain and thunder falling outside the hut seems to be particularly loud.
The feeling of relief that I am staying under the roof to avoid the storm outside, and the tension that a woman under one roof is so dangerous that it cannot be compared to a storm fills my heart.
What the hell is Ira thinking?
As I recently felt, Elgar and Mirna had their own principles in their actions.
Elgar has high self-esteem, pride for her family, and a little affection she holds for me. Mirna is an example of religious faith and high self-esteem.
The more I looked at what Ira was thinking and deciding what to do, the more I couldn’t understand it.
Shrimp, Shrimp-.
What, now that I see, Ira was sitting at the table and sleeping. To be able to fall asleep in this chaotic situation, should it be said that she has a big wall like a queen?
While Aira was asleep, I wanted to check her condition, so I activated the «Shipman».

It’s good to get down on your knees and pay your respects to the Queen of all things.
It is better to bow your head, kiss the tip of her toes, and ask for mercy and affection.
A fatal truth is hidden from everyone.
I like cute things. New!

“… … .”
As I unintentionally looked into her condition, I couldn’t help but be quite surprised. It was noticeable that several levels had risen between the last time and now.
Also, the item of talent was open.
「Talent 《Genius》: Anything can be easily achieved with little effort. Instead, the probability of meeting a tragic fate is greatly corrected.”
That’s right.
It seems that Aira’s outstanding talent was literally genius. No matter what I do, it absorbs quickly like a sponge.
I wondered if it was because of this talent that Ira suddenly reigned as a tyrant and a dark army.
In case Tae Oh Gospel was a rogue, secretly hiding behind people as in the original story. When Tae-oh swung Aira back and forth at will.
Aira, who was a genius, easily accomplished her achievements as a tyrant, and thanks to that, the probability of meeting a tragic fate was increased, so it must have been added to the clock.
“Hmm.”
Even so, the probability of meeting a tragic fate is increased.
I don’t want to keep running towards the bad ending because I have this kind of talent.
I felt like I knew a little bit about why I suffered.
“Hmm-.”
Then I suddenly became curious.
While even the immense talent of “genius” has been revealed, what is that one last talent that is locked up?
I lifted my finger and pressed the [Lock] item. Then a letter appears in front of my eyes.
“In order to unlock a locked item, you need to further increase your understanding and intimacy with the target.”
Just like this.
“-.”
At that time, Aira flinched, so I hurriedly turned off the activation of the Simplian. However, contrary to how nervous I was, Ira put a soft smile on her lips.
It looks like you’re having a good dream.
slurp.
Then the eyelids moved, and finally, the black eyes met me.
“I closed my eyes for a moment. It still hasn’t stopped raining. I had a very pleasant dream.”
“What kind of dream did you have?”
“I went on a picnic with my sisters. But my second sister, Penelope, dropped her shoe in the mud and tried to get it out—”
After talking, Ira smiles. However, Aira’s face quickly lost her smile and cooled with a sense of detachment.
It’s not because of your mood that you look sad. When I wake up from a dream of the sweet and kind sisters, the reality is in a gloomy storm.
Sometimes I dream of eating Coke and chicken, and when I open my eyes, I get depressed.
Ira said.
“Sister Penelope was about to get married. Penelope unnie in the dress was really prettier than anyone else. They must have been good brides, good wives and mothers.”
“… … .”
I listened to the story. When I focused on Aira’s languid voice, neither the wind nor the thunder could bother my ears anymore.
Of course, Aira’s story must end in tragedy. And, my expectations were right.
“At the wedding, Sister Penelope died bleeding. In the eyes, in the nose, in the mouth, in the ears… .”
What Aira said was a story I knew too.
Was it written in the records of the Angmar officers as ‘Blood Wedding’? It was a terrible event that the new bride Penelope suddenly complained of pain and spit out blood.
It’s a story about the cause of poisoning, assassination, etc., but eventually fell into a labyrinth.
However, Ira opened her heavy lips and added a few more words.
“I didn’t know then. But now, who killed her sister like that? I think I know what made them so terrible.”
“Are you saying you want to know the culprit?”
“okay.”
