168 – On a stormy night (3)
I was very excited at the thought of eating curry. Like a person who belatedly realized that there was no food, the desperate warrior was stuck on the floor for a while.
What is so lamentable about not being able to touch the younger me?
I felt sorry for him and wanted to let him touch it once, but seeing the surrounding furniture being crushed like snacks by the hero’s spirit, such a frivolous thought soon went into place.
”Huh, uhm… Wow…”
”brother. He cries.”
The saintess’ sarcastic finger was pointed again at the hero, who finally started to cry in anger.
Pointing a finger at someone then i can’t use it
If it were me, I would have stopped right away.
Now that his tongue was cut in half, if he recklessly opened his mouth in this state, there was a risk that the situation that had improved so long could get worse again, so he firmly suppressed the words that were about to leak out.
”now! My head hurts, so let’s stop talking about this and get rid of what’s right in front of us! Hey Big Team! because it bothers me Hero, put some in the next room for a second!”
nod
The big team, silently nodding their heads at Apis’ unholy order, dragged the hero, who was sitting on the floor lamenting over his untimely situation, as if he were unloading his luggage.
”Salvation is… Are you saying there is no salvation?
Even in the midst of sobbing at the deathbed dripping with lingering regret, watching the hero being dragged along obediently, my heart felt a little sad.
Sooner or later, when my body returns to normal, whatever the hero wants from me, I will do as much as possible.
”Ahhh…”
It seems that all tension in the body has been released since the hero left the room.
Suddenly, the nun, who let out a breathless moan, sat down on the spot where she had been standing.
”Hey, are you okay…?”
At first glance, it was unusual to see the nun holding onto my heart and breathing heavily one after another, to the extent that Apis spoke with concern.
Well, when you think about it, it was a very natural thing.
Right now, the nun’s mind and body must be in the same state as if she went in and out of the dragon’s mouth for a while.
Rather, it was better not to faint.
”I thought I was going to die… Welna… sister. I thought I was going to die…”
”Are you cold? Shall Welna hug you?”
It was quite a sight to see a grown adult hugging a small girl while trembling all over, but this time, the situation was the situation, so I decided to just skip it.
”Clean! Wow!”
”That’s right. That’s right.”
Who is the older sister and who is the younger brother?
Seeing the saintess gently stroking her hair to soothe her sniffling like a child having a nightmare, I naturally thought of that.
”Hey~ Did you see it again? You know how to openly beat that hero, not anyone else! Even the victors who get into a poison puddle without changing their face color can’t do that!”
Apis, who grinned and trembled loudly, praised the nun infrequently.
Apparently, Apis seemed quite pleased with the spirit of the nun who fought against the hero without running away.
That was something I also agreed to.
If it had not been for the nun’s cold-hearted response, no one knew how the hero who coveted me and the saintess who wanted to protect me might have collided.
Sister’s work deserved to be praised as a feat that went beyond mere mediation of a fight and contributed greatly to peace in the world.
”More, thanks Sarah. Shunyeo…”
I couldn’t stay silent forever after wearing such a huge favor, so I expressed my gratitude with my short tongue.
”Wow, that’s an overstatement. Rage’s priest. Again, I didn’t do anything. What would have happened had Apis-sama not intervened in the middle…”
Could it be that I have not been able to shake off the fear imprinted in my bones?
A beautiful trembling was permeated in that reply.
Her breathing was harder than usual, and her complexion didn’t look that good.
More than anything else, her defensive stance, in which she turned her back to me and tried to hide her expression, clearly showed how tired the sister was right now.
It must have reached its limits in many ways.
Now she desperately needed a break.
”Shoo. Taking a little break… Eh, how is it…?”
At that very moment, the clear vision was blurred in an instant, and a sense of exhaustion suddenly came over me, as if the waist and legs, which had been standing upright, had all disappeared.
”Le, Rage’s priest!”
By the time the worried voice of the nun calling me gradually faded away like that of a dream, the thin string of consciousness that connected the body and spirit had already been cut off a long time ago.
◈◈◈
”How about taking a little break? In-laws talk to others and sit down…”
Apis lifted Reiges, who had suddenly lost consciousness and almost collapsed face down, with a barely-there car.
The wild behavior naturally reminiscent of a bully holding an old bag in his hand.
However, from the figure of Apis, who carefully wrapped her arms around her hips and hugged her so as not to put any burden on Reiges’ small body, her thoughtfulness, which she rarely showed in front of others, was overflowing.
”Apis!”
”Oh, don’t panic. It would only be that the accumulated fatigue came belatedly. Come to think of it, this guy said he had been hanging out with mercenaries a while ago. I forgot about it for a while because of the young face…”
The physical wounds had already healed, but the mental fatigue from the unaccustomed interpersonal combat and the saintess’ runaway was still accumulated in Reigis’ body.
If he was in perfect condition, it would have been a burden that could barely keep him conscious, but it was too heavy a burden for Reiges now, whose upper limit of physical strength was far lower than usual due to the aftermath of his smaller body.
”Anyway, I still don’t cover my body. Look at me, I would have been beaten all day and just ran away like a mouse. It’s obvious without looking at it.”
”Mugueuss…”
”Now, wait! Wait! Apis!”
Beltane let out frightened words at Apis, who was terribly harassing Rage’s little nose with the tongs made by bending his index and middle fingers.
It was an action that was concerned about the saintess’ reaction, but it was also an action that came from her true heart.
Is it because of the innate nature? Or is it because of his brother’s problem? Although the exact cause was not known.
Beltane had a particularly weak temperament for children.
The story that women with fuller breasts have better maternal love was a myth even in this system.
Anyone who had ever encountered the person named Beltane was certain to reexamine the truth of the rumor.
Beltane’s gaze hurriedly twisted toward the saintess.
It was because what hurt Reiges recklessly was a land mine that touched the saintess’s wickedness, and the saintess’ mental age was not mature enough to understand that there was no malice in Apis’ actions.
‘what·····?’
However, at that moment, immediately after encountering the saintess’ expression that was so different from what he had imagined, a large question mark floated in Beltane’s mind.
”·····?”
The face of the saintess, who was supposed to be inflamed with anger, was indescribably calm.
Where is that?
Immediately after meeting Beltane’s eyes, the appearance of him gently tilting his head like a curious cat even made him look as innocent as a being who pretended to be savage like a fight.
No matter how mischievous it is, it’s a situation where Reiges is being harassed.
If she had been a saint from the past, it would have been unimaginable.
Furthermore, I heard that the saintess even tried to brutally massacre the mercenaries who attacked Rage’s not long ago.
Could it be that the saintess now understands that this is nothing more than a prank between her colleagues?
It was the car that was chewing on Beltane’s shocking accident.
”Hey, take this.”
”·····Yes?”
”What are you doing. Get this guy soon. From now on, I have to go out to find those thieves who jumped out with the holy sword. I’m also sorting out the garbage around here. Oh, don’t tell the hero, he’ll get into trouble if he sets up.”
”Ah, yes, yes!”
Beltane carefully handed over the sleeping Rage from Apis.
The series of actions were as holy as a saint who was bestowed with holy water.
His body heat, which was transmitted through the loose fabric covering his entire body, was as warm as the sun, and the thin eyelashes that swayed along the texture of Beltane’s breath contained demonic powers that made you inadvertently place your finger on it.
From the soft and fluffy hair that touched the skin, even a pleasant scent that could not be described in words was emitted.
cute. no, it was lovely.
This was the first time she felt intense affection, as if her heart was being squeezed, by someone other than her own sister.
new liquid new liquid.
His whitish breath, barely audible, was swaying as if igniting the flames in Beltane’s thoughts.
”Then keep an eye on him while I’m on my way back. I know you know, but I try not to touch the hero as much as possible. Looking at that tail, the situation itself seems to be understood. just in case you don’t know If your saintess works hard, she can do that much, right?’
”Yes, four! All right!”
”Oh, and also, wash your body a bit. Because I just took a little look at it. The smell of sweat, the smell of blood, and the smell of mud were just spectacle.”
”Hut! Yeah! ·····Yeah?”
News like thunder from the blue sky fell on Beltane’s ears.
The appearance of Reiges in action! Yanggaenggat-nim drew it! Santa exists! Everyone!
