Deep Conversation – 3
When I returned home after a long time, my house was neatly organized than I expected.
Perhaps Uncle Ben is taking care of it again. I don’t have to.
I went out to the backyard with my friends.
It’s the back yard where I once met Caled.
I said.
“great. I think you can call me here.”
“… … .”
“Ardwin?”
“brother. I’ve been thinking, why don’t you just call your brother a soul?”
I tilted my head.
Ardwin scratched his head and continued speaking.
“When I met Ressel and Grade, or when I met Neril and May, I had no choice but to lend my body. Because the older sisters couldn’t talk to the soul.”
“… … .”
“But hyung speaks well with Trail hyung’s soul, right? Even with the souls of other warriors.”
“It is, but… … .”
“Then I think it would be better to leave. Somehow, I think my brother would like that.”
I couldn’t help but admire Ardwin’s thoughtfulness.
Although he was still young, he was more considerate than an adult.
I shrugged.
“It’s just me thank you.”
“like. Then, Trail-hyung, come over here too.”
Trail Hiccups.
[uh? why me… … .]
‘I can not hear you. It’s fine. Last time, it was just a simple greeting, so let’s chat with the party members for a while.’
[What can I say?]
‘For now, I’ll have to go back to talking.’
Trail coughed.
[Because I don’t like this at all.]
‘It’s because you can just do it the way you did for me.’
[…] … .]
‘You know that. All my party members are good guys. I’m sure you will melt well too.’
The trail was silent for a moment.
However, he answered seriously whether he had made up his mind soon.
[okay. Don’t risk my everything.]
You talk like you’re going into some final battle.
I nodded to Ardwin.
he cast a spell.
And at the same time, I brought the soul of Trail into my body.
Soon the trail opened its mouth.
“Nice to meet you.”
“yes? It’s not the first time.”
“ah. Yes. okay. Because I tend to gossip when I’m nervous. Anyway, see you soon.”
“So it’s not the first time. Anyway, let’s go in.”
Neryl smiled softly and led them into the house.
So I was left alone in the backyard.
No.
It was only me and my father left.
Ardwin summoned his father’s soul and cast a spell that allowed him to see the soul.
So I could see his soul.
The appearance of the original souls are all similar, so it is difficult to distinguish them.
But I was convinced by a strange feeling that is hard to explain in words.
“… … .”
That the blue soul that shimmers in front of my eyes right now is my father.
I said.
“How much is this?”
[…] … .]
“father. Can you hear me?”
[Yeah, yes.]
I tilted my head.
“It’s not the reaction I was expecting.”
[…] … There was a soul I met recently in the underworld. That friend told me about what happened in Haspil recently.]
“… … .”
[You told the lord what happened between me and Diane.]
I did.
Are you saying you already know what happened?
I sighed lightly.
“I didn’t call you to ask about it.”
[Made. I… … .]
“no. Don’t make excuses. Because even my mother did not make excuses in the trial.”
[I wanted a child.]
“I told you not to make excuses.”
I stared at the soul.
“Your mother abused her because she couldn’t have children? At that time, there must have already been a son named ‘Maid Mohan’? oh I’m not the real son, am I?”
[…] … !]
“You mean you didn’t think of me as a child.”
[Oh, did you know?]
“Besides, even if that were the case, that cannot be a reason for abuse. You also got married knowing your mother’s condition. Regardless of that, he said he would cherish and love him for the rest of his life.”
Father’s soul remained silent, not sure what to say.
I cooled the heat on my head and continued.
“Again, I didn’t call you to talk about the past.”
[then?]
“Like I said, I know you are not my biological father. Where did you take me? What happened that day?”
[…] … .]
“Tell me please.”
He did not open his mouth easily, perhaps because of the wretchedness.
I thought it might be like this, so I came to my house on purpose.
I said looking around the backyard.
“I learned how to chop wood from you here.”
[…] … !]
“But as I was weak, I missed the axe, and the ax barely fell right in front of my feet. You came running to me out of fear.”
[…] … .]
“I remember looking at my uninjured feet and hugging me tightly saying I was lucky.”
The soul shakes lightly.
I spoke with the softest expression on my face.
“At least for that moment, you probably thought of me as your own son.”
[I always did.]
“Yes. I will believe that. So no worries.”
[What?]
“Even if you learn the secret of your birth, I will continue to regard you as a father.”
Perhaps this is the reason why my father can’t open his mouth easily.
At least I was loved by both my father and mother.
That point cannot be denied.
But why didn’t they love each other?
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Many years have passed, but it still pierces my heart.No matter how brave he is, it seems he can’t do anything with the human heart.
Soon the father said.
[Our estate has the highest mountain on the continent.]
“Mount Baharma.”
And the core of the Demon King of Destruction.
[On that day, hunting was wasted for a week, and his livelihood was in danger. So I headed to Baharma Mountain, not my usual hunting ground.]
“… … .”
[But suddenly it rained. I couldn’t go up or down, so I decided to spend the night in a cave.]
“no way?”
[okay. Deep inside the cave, I heard the cry of a baby.]
Dad takes a deep breath.
[At first, I thought he was an abandoned child, but in fact, looking at it now, it is strange. Because no one dares to go to the highest mountain on the continent to abandon the baby.]
“… … .”
[Besides, baby… … So you didn’t really put yourself in the manger. There was no blanket to wrap the child in, not even a single piece of clothing. He was literally naked.]
“Where is that cave?”
[If you go up the middle of Mount Baharma, there will be a tree that stretches high into the sky. The tree is slightly curved. If you go 300 meters in the curved direction, you will see it.]
great.
I’ll have to go there first.
I decided I had heard enough.
But the father’s words weren’t over yet.
[Dian said which one came first.]
“what?”
[I mistreated her, and that she started meeting my friends.]
“… … ?”
[Which of the two did you say comes first?]
I felt like I had been hit hard in the head with a hammer.
Seeing that I couldn’t answer, my father said in a self-congratulatory tone.
[Perhaps he said he couldn’t handle my abuse and started seeing my friends for comfort.]
“Is that not the case?”
[Well.]
“Well. Don’t even think about going overboard like that!”
[I really don’t know. Diane knew my friend well. That friend was a guy who worked in a tool shop, and I had to often get the tools I needed for hunting from him.]
“… … .”
[Sometimes he delivered an order to our house. Maybe it was delivered when I went out hunting and was away.]
“… … .”
[Since at some point, Diane has been talking about that friend often. It was mostly a compliment.]
I clenched my teeth.
“It’s all my father’s guess.”
[okay. So I said I don’t know. Which one was first?]
“… … .”
For a moment, I thought of the eyes of the battery.
father’s abuse.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mother’s wish.You will be able to see which of the two came first.
“… … .”
But I decided not to check.
Whichever came first, the father died and the mother spent decades in prison.
This work is now over.
But apart from that, I couldn’t help but lament.
“I grew up in a house full of lies.”
[There is nothing to say about that.]
“Now it is. Thank you for your words.”
[But there was only one truth.]
He spoke softly.
[We loved you.]
“… … .”
[This is the truth. Maid.]
For a moment, my vision seemed to spread before my eyes.
I bowed my head and raised my voice.
“Ardwin!”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
My father’s soul was clouded as if Ardwin had heard it inside the house.It will return to the realm again.
I said.
“I’ll have a drink when we meet later.”
Father laughed lightly and replied.
[Don’t come too soon.]
The sunset was when I finished talking to my father.
We decided to stay at home for a day.
I said only the important parts of my conversation with my father.
“The caves of Mount Baharma. They said they brought me there.”
“A cave?”
“uh. There is a tree that will be a marker, so it will be easy to find. Let’s go up early tomorrow morning.”
“yes. By the way… … Hmmm. it’s nothing.”
Serena turned her end of words vaguely.
Perhaps he was curious about the ‘different content’ conversation with his father.
However, to protect privacy, he even avoided Ardwin, but he seemed to think he couldn’t ask.
I shrugged.
“I have nothing else to report.”
“Well, I wasn’t really curious.”
“It’s written on your face. Not just you, everyone.”
Then the companions smiled vaguely.
Neryl changes the subject.
“By the way, how are you doing today? This house is small.”
“Like when you are homeless, you have to sleep around in the living room.”
“okay. But Maid, you go to the library and sleep.”
I opened my eyes wide.
Neryl spoke in a soft tone.
“This is a place where many of your memories remain. You can spend one night alone, soaked in memories.”
“Neryl.”
Without realizing it, I grabbed her hand.
She lightly ran her finger across the palm of my hand.
“It must have been a place where a lot of things happened. But today, I want to bring back only good memories.”
“Well. I don’t think it will be easy.”
“Made.”
“I don’t know if you are by my side.”
Neryl’s eyes widened at those words.
I kept saying seriously.
“Last time I was May, I was there. Pay off your debt.”
“Wait, are you all right?”
“I’m asking you.”
She nodded slightly.
Everyone smiles warmly.
Except for one.
“Come on, wait a minute.”
Ardwin exclaimed with a blushing face for some reason.
“Doesn’t the soundproofing look bad here?”
“… … .”
Quang.
Xenia blows honey chestnuts on Ardwin’s head without mercy.
“Small crab.”
the next morning.
We climbed Mount Baharma.
Exactly, it flew.
The view of Baharma from Agril’s back was spectacular.
Serena opened her mouth.
“It’s ridiculous that a place like this is the core of the Demon King of Destruction.”
“By the way, I didn’t get the Jewel of Destruction. I’m sorry.”
“Isn’t it normal to not get it in the first place? It is said that normal warriors do not carry the Demon King Jewel.”
“Because Maid is not an ordinary hero.”
“Now I just have to stop talking.”
Anyway, how long did the search go on?
Offense said.
“That’s it.”
Where he pointed, there was a tree that stretched out into the sky unusually among the dense trees around him.
However, what happened to the alternative variety, it had a strange shape that was as large as that but curved as flexible as a reed.
As I turned my gaze in the curved direction, a cave came into my eyes.
gulp.
Xenia swallowed.
“That’s where you can find out about Mr. Maid’s identity.”
“It was wrong in two ways.”
“yes?”
“For now, this is just a bait to summon the Impelium. I am not trying to reveal my identity.”
“But it is.”
“Besides, are you stagnant? I’m just an ordinary warrior who wants to retire. The word identity should be used for a Velocian or an Impelium.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
My companions were staring at me.It’s as if the seeds aren’t being eaten.
I slowly averted my gaze and said.
“Anyway, let’s go down.”
“Ah yes.”
Xenia returns Agril.
Landing with Neril’s magic, we diligently walked towards the cave.
It was a bit inconvenient because there was no road because it was completely cut off from people, but after struggling for a few minutes, I was able to enter the cave.
“It was nice to come in, but what do I do now?”
Neryl’s voice echoed through the cave.
I know.
I thought that if I came all the way here, I would still feel something.
[How about sleeping? You always met Impellium in your dreams.]
‘It’s not necessarily like that. I met him when he was awake when he was fighting Ardin.’
[Well.]
‘But since there is no other way, shall we go to sleep?’
It’s still morning and I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep.
After all, it’s magic… … .
uh?
All of a sudden, their faces darkened.
Soon after, a brilliant light enveloped us.
I exclaimed hastily.
“Everyone stuck to me!”
“You don’t have to. Because it’s all over.”
“Who are you?”
“It’s already been a few times, but I feel sorry for such a question.”
next moment.
In front of us was the room where I once had a conversation with the Impelium.
Well-appointed and beautiful room.
A gentle breeze blew through the slightly opened window. swaying curtains.
Soft looking beds and carpets.
And nine mugs. nine?
… … .
why nine?
I glanced around.
All my party members were blinking there.
