(EP.367) Tear #1
367 – Unwrapped Paper #1
“Even now, hands and feet are tied up and treated like criminals, but in the future, our mage, Yggdrasil, will destroy the world… .”
“Okay, go to jail quietly. And somebody gag this guy’s mouth. Who caressed so carelessly to consign a wizard? Who is in charge?”
-I, the person in charge is Elgar.
“Don’t talk back to me!”
Elgar handed over the wizard Roland to the soldiers and frowned. Patience is running low as the rebels have been clearing up for several days already.
How long do I have to keep doing this? Elgar didn’t know. It just feels like a cat catching rats that pop out of nowhere.
‘I’m not a mouse-catcher, I’m a lion.’
I wanted to complain like that, but there was no one to listen to Elgar’s complaint.
At that moment, I saw a fairy waving in the distance from the alleyway. For a moment, I mistook him for someone else, but she was Stella.
“What, it was Professor Stella.”
“Who did you mistake? More than that, Miss Elgar and the Black Robe Revolutionary Corps have all been captured. I caught Porpori, who was the leader of the organization’s actions, and locked him up, so he blew up.”
“That’s good.”
Elgar responded appropriately to Stella’s explanation. With that, a slight gritty silence began to drift between the two. Elgar hated this silence.
‘I’m still awkward with this girl.’
It was better to become a cat that catches mice, so I thought it would be good to go hunting other rebels. Then Stella opened her mouth.
“So, it has already been three days since the untitled festival ended. Now that I think about it, time has passed so quickly. It took over three months to prepare.”
“Yeah, what.”
“But the whole world is buzzing. Bars, alleys, and markets all talk about that. The world is changing.”
It was just as Stella said.
It’s been 3 days since the ban ended.
The world had not yet escaped from that day, and, rather than the day of the festival, it was raising its voice and talking about that time.
Even the soldiers of the Lioness did the same.
– What will happen to us in the future? It was already a rumor that Lady Elgar and Sir Tae-oh were good friends. What is our affiliation?
-Shhh, it’s soldiers like us. You don’t have to worry about things like that, just do what you tell them to do.
-But. The world will change. Maybe we will have a chance to advance from the bottom of the military… .
Elgar, who had been quietly listening to their story, could not bear it and frowned.
“Even if you gossip behind me like a mouse, can you hear everything? If it’s an army of lions, speak up in front of me.”
The soldiers were startled by this, and then each dispersed in their own way. stupid guys. I didn’t like how everyone was so excited or nervous that they didn’t know what to do.
It wasn’t just the back alleys, the market or the Lioness’ soldiers. The kingdom of Angmar itself was sobbing like boiling asphalt.
Elgar could never have imagined what the melted kingdom would look like. It’s probably the same for everyone. I can’t stay still.
Then Stella asked.
“What will happen next, we?”
“I don’t know, professor. Isn’t that something the professor should know better than me? You are an intellectual.”
At Elgar’s question, Stella only shook her head.
“Politics is not my major.”
“It’s a good excuse.”
“But even thinking about it now, my surprised heart cannot calm down. I don’t even know how the story happened. I don’t know what to do next. Maybe that Tae-oh… .”
As if Stella was about to tell a story, Elgar opened her lips as if waiting for her to break her luck.
“I have nothing to explain. Ask them directly.”
Stella narrows his impression on him.
“I know. So what is he doing now?”
At that question, Elgar raised her head. A high spire that seems to have reached that sky. There must be a half-elf lying somewhere in Sandora’s City Hall. It’s already been three days since he didn’t come to his senses.
“You do a lot of work yourself, and you let other people do the work for you.”
If he wakes up, you have to say something.
I didn’t even get angry because it was such a natural procedure.
However, it was the other party that Elgar was concerned about. My cousin Aira, who should have been the main character of the non-titled festival.
For the past three days, he’s been acting like… .
* * *
I felt something warm and heavy pressing on my chest.
Thanks to this, when I opened my eyes, I found a small, warm, brown bundle of fur lying on my chest, curled up.
Dog squirrel
Why does this guy come up on my chest every time he sleeps?
hard to breathe
I tried to get up to put him down close to the bed. Soon I felt a strange pain and frowned.
“Ugh.”
My whole body was sore as if it had been minced with a tonkatsu hammer.
A chain of pain followed, making the muscles and joints connected to the palm and arm throb with just one finger lifted.
Thanks to that, instead of getting out of bed, I laid myself back on the soft pillow and looked around. Slightly open windows and sunlight pouring in. Blowing wind and fluttering curtains.
From the ceiling, the bed, and antique carpets and stuffed animals hanging on it, it seemed that this was the dormitory of Sandora City Hall. Why am I lying here?
I roll my head to recall the memory. But I soon stopped dwelling on the past in my throbbing brain. It was a muscle pain felt in the head.
Perhaps because I was overworked with my body and head, I could hardly move or think at will.
Is your voice good?
Open your mouth and try to say something.
“———.”
My throat sounded like an old tree being split by a woodpecker’s beak.
It’s a little bit like I’m saying, but the fact that the half-fairy’s characteristic beauty, which was my few strengths, is split like this makes even me frown.
Of course, I know why.
Maybe it’s because I overworked my neck.
It must have come to pass while trying to imitate Lioness’s Lioness with an unkind feeling. My body and head suffered from pain for the same or similar reasons as above.
Right now, I didn’t think about overusing my body, just thinking about surviving and winning. So I ended up winning the bid. I vividly remember that time when I lifted the crown high.
yes i won
By the way.
What happened after that?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Nothing came to mind. His head was throbbing like a heavy stone was on it, and he was not in a state where he could recall normally.
I feel like my whole body has been ripped to pieces
Is it the recoil equivalent to the 100-year lifespan consumed while using the ultimate hierarchical Taeo-Nova? That’s what comes to mind right now. Now that I see it, my eyes are so stiff as to fall.
I’m upset
Rather, it made me laugh at the very desperate state of my body.
“… … .”
silent laughter. Guess I was awakened by the shaking of my chest and stomach, or the dog squirrel Kengkeng, who had been crouching on me, slowly got up.
ㅡ kkkkeng… !
As he barked, he heard something reach-jumping in the distance. Soon the door swung open and I could see her orange hair swaying dynamically.
“Ah-! Woke up! I opened my eyes!”
“You will open your eyes… ! This body tartare is also going to be seen… !”
“I want to see Purpur too… !”
“Gar… !”
In an instant, Imps filled my room.
As I don’t know how this happened, I just close my eyes. Then the dog squirrel Kengkeng got off my boat and scrambled onto Marmar’s shoulder.
“comrade! are you on your mind? It has already been three days since the untitled festival ended!”
It’s been three days?
“But I said that my condition was not good! They say that things like muscles, joints and magic circuits are tattered! I can’t even speak!”
The loud voice was crazy, but Marmar was accurately diagnosing my condition.
“Of course I didn’t find out, but Sandora’s best therapist did! They say it will take at least a month to get better! In addition… .”
“Comrade Marmar, this is not the time to be talking like that… ! This is to congratulate our new representative Taeonoi on winning the championship… !”
slurp.
Imps pulled me out of bed. Now that I see, my body is wrapped in bandages and looks like a mummy. Hands, legs, and chest. Maybe it’s wrapped around his face too.
“Ugh.”
Despite the Imps’ soft fern-like touch, muscle pain always came. Even when you touch your fingertips, your throbbing pain will stop and tears will come out.
“Ugh.”
“Then everyone will rinse off… !”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, if I get something like rinsingarae now, my consciousness may blow away again. So, as I was struggling desperately, someone coughed in front of the door, “Uh-huh.”
“Imps, I want you all to leave for a moment.”
That calm voice was Mirna. Then the Imps looked at each other’s faces, laid me down on the bed, and rushed out.
Mirna approached me and said.
“Really, the busyness of the Imps… , I’m out of my mind Of course, it’s probably not the same as Sir Tae-oh, who only came to his senses now.”
“… … .”
“I heard you broke your neck. It would be difficult to talk. They said that not only the neck, but also the muscles, ligaments, and bones were not strong enough.”
It’s a story I’ve already heard from Imps. In the first place, I know my condition better. My body was broken all over the place.
Even if it gets better.
I wondered if I could go back to the way it used to be.
“It was really reckless. Tae-oh’s match. I’ve seen it all. Recorded on crystal crystal. To survive like this is enough to call it a miracle.”
That’s right.
Something was recorded.
Of course, what I was curious about was the outcome, not the content of the game. So I wondered what happened in the end. I would definitely have won. But, perhaps because he was lying in a hospital bed, he didn’t realize that much.
First, she slowly opened her lips.
“Uh, uh.”
“How was it? That’s what I’d like to ask. I’m going to give you a glass of water for a moment, so please drink at least that to make you thirsty.”
Mirna scooped lukewarm water on a spoon and put it around my mouth. As I swallowed it, I could feel the liquid rushing through my body from my esophagus to every nook and cranny. The interior is a mess too.
However, after drinking water, his condition improved considerably.
“… therefore. How is it?”
At my question, Mirna stares out the window.
“A lot has happened since Sir Tae-oh fell.”
“… three days.”
“Yeah, it’s been three days already. It will take a while to explain each one, but the one you want to hear the most is probably the story of the Queen.”
“… … .”
“The Queen is now stationed in the North Woods beyond the Claris Grand Wall. Together with the soldiers, we built a stronghold beyond the wall.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, why did it suddenly happen?
As I frowned incomprehension, Mirna rummaged through her arms and pulled out something. It is a tiny crystal ball.
Shh.
As he stretched it out, colorful brilliance came from the crystal ball and something was projected onto the wall.
