(EP.150) Aspect #3
150 – New Aspect #3
To be honest, I didn’t like the word fate or inevitability.
This includes things like buying stocks and fortune-telling.
For me, the world does not flow along a set road and rail. Because I thought it was just to show the results that changed according to my choices.

Choices and consequences of free will.
A series of unexpected coincidences.
That was my definition of the future.
If you don’t think that way and you come to affirm that it’s fate. Being abandoned by my mother since I was a child and being alone becomes a sound like fate-inevitability.
Who is inevitably abandoned?
Because of that, I thought that my values formed in this way would not change unless something really big happened.
and.
What happened to me until recently was a series of events that I dare call great events.
“Ira-sama, are you okay?”
I sprinted towards Queen Aira. The mana barrier spread around her is seen cracking and cracking at the bolts of her crossbow.
Ark’s Three Stones – An arrow that pierces through the mana barrier that was not damaged or destroyed even by Verdonas’ repeated attacks.
“Ugh.”
Aira snorted as if intrigued as she looked at the black cloak she saw above the tree in the distance. Then, with a snap of your finger, the bolt flies back in the same direction it flew.
Phishung.
Pavat.
The shadow on the tree jumped into the air, avoiding the attack. After a while, it landed lightly on the floor, but I didn’t feel any weight at all.
It feels like a black cougar has landed gently in the grass from a high wall.
– That guy is a hunter.
-Are the hunters attacking the queen now?
-Uh, hey, come this way… !
The roaring crowd was repelled and a man in a black cloak approached the queen.
When the bandages and cape wrapped around him ominously fluttered, and those black eyes and Aira’s black eyes stared at each other—.
I started to think that maybe fate really exists.
A warrior and a demon king.
Is the villain hunter and the villain destined to meet in the end?
“Who are you?”
Aira asked the hunter leisurely first.
He was so confident that he couldn’t even think of talking while looking up at a man who was about two heads taller than himself.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, in this case, it must be said that the hunter, who is not withdrawn from Queen Aira, and stands upright, is great.
“… … .”
The hunter was silent.
Without opening her bandaged lips, she just looked down at Ira.
I knew instinctively that he was figuring out whether it was okay to kill Ira or not.
Because the hunter, the main character in the story, was such a man.
A psychopath who just hits and kills villains for the sake of the reader’s entertainment.
When I came to that thought, my hair stood upright. Then my mind was filled with the thought that I had to protect Ira somehow.
I thought that if Aira were to be killed here and now, many things would be thrown into chaos and out of control.
It made me angry at the thought that everything I had protected might be destroyed.
So I pointed my wand at the hunter and shouted.
“You rude bastard over there!”
Then I saw black eyes turning towards me.
Both children and hunters looked at me. For a moment, my eyes felt dizzy, but it wasn’t to the point that I couldn’t stand it.
I shouted loudly through the stinging gazes.
“Do you know who you dared to shoot arrows at!!! This is clearly a provocative, treacherous act towards the Angmar royal family!!!”
When I shouted loudly, strangely courage arose. I added a few words, fueling the will that seemed to boil from my lower belly.
“It would be better to put down your weapons, bow your head to the Queen, and apologize… !!!”
woo oh oh
The audience fell silent for a moment at my story.
Everyone doesn’t seem to be fussing, they’re just blinking, trying to see where the situation is headed. Surprisingly, it was Ira who opened her mouth first.
“Okay, Tae-oh.”
“yes? Are you okay?”
“Hide behind me.”
Aira tried to hide me behind her. Then he asks the hunter.
“What is your name?”
“… … .”
The hunter didn’t open his mouth. Only his black eyes, visible under the bandages, blazing as if he was saying something.
“Come on, wait! Wait, I’ll pass! for awhile-. What are you doing there now!”
Then someone appeared, breaking through the crowd. She was a person who wore a monk’s signature navy blue attire, and was an impressive beauty with long blonde hair and blue eyes.
This is Miriam, the Priestess of the Hunter Party.
She quacks as if she knows everything.
“Mr. Hunter, what if you act your way? Oh, what about this? I’m really sorry.”
Also, seeing Miriam nodding her head towards us, Ira seemed to have lost interest and said, “Huh… .” and made a slightly weak voice somewhere.
“It’s cool.”

People talked about what happened today all day long.
All day long they’ve been murmuring that a bounty hunter from outside the Ark has attacked Queen Aira.
“Outside the door, outside the door! Whoa-! Buy a newspaper! newspaper!”
“Hoenoi, give me a newspaper.”
“Teo Gospel, thank you every time. hey hey… !”
The newspaper that had just been printed also had the story of Queen Aira’s attack written on it.
“Queen of Angmar, Aira von Tarantera, is attacked!”
“The culprit is a bounty hunter hired by Professor Stella Belhawk, and the church and the Arc authorities are investigating the relationship—”
“Irna, a spokeswoman for the Belhawk family, claims that they have nothing to do with this case—.”
If the state and the state were connected, it would be a very big problem that could lead to war as a diplomatic matter.
The attack of the queen is a major event that is recorded in history books, so it is natural. It’s unavoidable that the world is going crazy.
“Tae-oh, there’s a mandarin duck over there.”
However, the person being attacked was spraying food on the fish in the pond as if nothing had happened.
A leisurely artificial pond. Standing on the bridge, looking at the sparkling water surface. Then, Ira frowned.
Did you feel bad about the attack that happened earlier?
“No, looking closely, it was a duck, not a mandarin duck. Thunder duck.”
“A mallard?”
“No, Thunder Duck. It sounds like thunder.”
– Kreung.
“Look.”
For Aira, it seemed more important to Aira whether that bird was a mandarin duck or a duck than before.
Watching the giant fish flapping around and eating food, I decided to solve my unbearable curiosity.
“You just sent it away without any issues. Are you really okay?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about hunters. Didn’t you attack Queen Aira?”
“ah. It did. It happened.”
Ira spoke like a person recalling an event from the distant past. In Aira’s mind, it felt as if the job with the hunter had been erased and did not remain.
But I was different.
I usually keep a distance from the main character’s party and keep an eye on the east side, but they crossed the line first.
I was in the position that I had to take action somehow, because if it were like this, not only Ira, but also my safety and the world itself would be in chaos.
There’s no guarantee that this won’t happen again.
But Aira continued to feed the fish.
“Tae-oh, can’t you just interrupt your long-awaited holiday with something like that?”
“Is it just that?”
“Isn’t anyone injured?”
That’s right though.
As I filled with dissatisfaction on my face, Aira threw all the food she was holding into the pond. Then the fish that were feeding under the bridge began to make a fuss.
Flutter, flutter.
After looking at it for a while, Aira opened her mouth.
“Tae-oh, not long ago. When you and I are in the rain together Did you protest or demand compensation against the sky that soaked your clothes and my shoes?”
“no. But what is this all of a sudden?”
“Huhu-.”
At my words, Ira laughed as if she had heard a funny story. Then he stroked my head with the hand that had just touched the fish feed.
“Tae-oh, there’s something you don’t know. That’s amazing. The man I met earlier is like rain from the sky. It’s like a natural disaster that is hard to understand with human understanding.”
“A natural disaster?”
“okay. The rain that no one falls and the ground that shakes. I’m not asking for clarification or protesting an exploding volcano. because it doesn’t make any sense That man earlier was a disaster with a human body.”
Aira’s words were quite piercing the center.
A disaster in the human body.
But suddenly, while I was in Korea, Ira also remembered that someone called her that way.
“Your expression is unsatisfactory. Don’t you like me stroking your hair with your hands on food?”
“no. That’s not it. Anyway, I was wondering if it would be right for it to end like this without proper punishment.”
“If it’s a punishment, the Ark’s board of directors will decide. It was the old Hynax that took over their identity.”
“It is.”
Ira was remarkably calm.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been living comfortably at the arc recently and my heart has broadened. Isn’t this enough to be able to return home?
I came to this arc with a plan to make Aira a wise queen, or even an ordinary person… .
taken from noblemt l
Giving up her position as a queen and living in a foreign country while enjoying the holidays with a sense of seclusion and leisure seems to have a great effect on Aira.
“… … .”
I don’t know why Aira is feeling so uneasy when she has calmed down her judgment as I had planned. Maybe it was because I felt calmer than I expected.
Ira added a few more words as I was immersed in thought.
“And, he didn’t mean to kill me. The tip of the bolt was blunt. It was a non-lethal bullet.”
“Is that really true?”
“okay. Of course, even if he intended to kill me, he wouldn’t be able to inflict even a small wound on me by himself.”
You didn’t mean to kill me.
Maybe it’s just Ira’s opinion.
In reality, the hunter just looked at each other after facing Aira. Thinking about it now, the hunter didn’t kill Aira in the original episode in the first place.
After defeating Aira.
He didn’t kill or hurt Aira directly, he just left him alone. It was in the end the angry people’s will to kill Aira, not the villain hunter.
Seeing that, I’m a little skeptical.
Why didn’t the hunter kill Aira?
A huge boss about the size of Aira would give you a lot of experience.
Have you ever had less experience than you thought?
Maybe Aira wasn’t the villain I knew. I suddenly had a thought. There was no other way to explain the hunter’s behavior.
Or maybe there was another reason why it couldn’t be killed, but nothing was specifically described. At least that’s what I remember.
“Then why did you shoot the queen with a crossbow?”
“It must have been something you wanted to try.”
“A test?”
“Like the tea knight Verdonas who wanted to test his strength against me. I think he was wondering how far his skills would reach.”
Although Verdonas is not a tea knight, but a windmill knight. It must be said that he left only that much impression on Aira.
“Tae-oh.”
Then Aira called me. Aira was putting the flying bird on her hand and stroking her chin with her finger.
—Pirreuk.
I don’t know why the animals follow so well.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Looking back, it seems like I’m getting along very well with my cousin, Elgar, now.”
“… Yes. It’s more like Elgar training me than being friendly.”
“Last night. Actually, Elgar knocked on my door. The two of us had a long talk. Do you want to hear what we talked about?”
“… … .”
Push.
It felt like an arrow from a crossbow flew into my heart.
Feeling more tense than at any other moment today, sweat began to well up on my clenched palms.
“… What did you talk about?”
smart 👸 is scarier then crazy and stupid 👸
