166 – Until death do us part(1)
I fully understand what you mean.
In the end, it didn’t mean that Clu or Clara’s mother and daughter were running rampant without any countermeasures. But rather, Hans’s heart became more urgent. It was because the leader of Banjo was Levil.
Unexpectedly, there was not much information about Level. At most, he is a new demon king who leads the demons. And that he is cunning beyond imagination, and that he takes good care of his people.
Of course, that was enough at the time. How much do you care about the final boss in Yagem in the first place? At least, the story would be different if the final boss was a heroine who could be attacked.
Anyway, the guy named Level is more cunning than I imagined. Not one or two people fell for his candy-coated whispers. In fact, even Helya from the original story fell for her twist.
In other words, it was Hans’ idea that no one knew what Revil would do to Clara Cluna and her mother and daughter. It was a year ago that he contacted Banjo and started full-scale activities.
If so, he was Hans who forcibly thought that he would still be at least safe. After all, it was true that there was no time. Hans hurriedly finished his preparations.
“Are you going to go to them right away?”
“Of course not.”
“There may be another way.”
“What?”
“For example, finding other colleagues first.”
This was advice from the heart. No matter how much the banjo against the ancestors is active. It is clearly the territory of demons, and it is a hell where you can lose your life if you do something wrong.
It’s really unfortunate. For now, it is most ideal to gather the other colleagues first, and then retrieve Clu or Clara’s mother and daughter. If you can’t hold out until then, there’s nothing you can do.
Even if Elder Macennis is an elf. It was absolutely true. Didn’t Hans even get killed by the ancestors? However, Hans replied as if he was dumbfounded.
“Isn’t it natural to help the most critical colleague first?”
“I see, I made a mistake.”
Captain Makenis smiled and nodded his head. He is the general manager of the Royal Knights. You probably know all too well the seriousness and danger of this matter. Nonetheless, he chose it.
To help comrades in the most dangerous situations. That’s why he is recognized by them. He must have been able to become the captain of the Royal Knights. I seemed to know a little bit now.
‘Damn it, please be safe.’
However, it was contrary to what Elder Makenis thought. Now, Hans couldn’t even afford to think about that. After holding out there for only three years, he was finally granted freedom.
And there are many things I want to say to them. However, parting in this way was a no-brainer on this side. But now what? No wyverns, no scrolls.
“Are you going there? With those limbs like hell.”
“So how many times do you say that?”
“Then let me help you.”
“Are you helping?”
“Yes, even if you look like this, you have a good understanding of magic.”
He hit the ground with the staff that Elder Macennis was holding. Then, a huge magic circle was drawn at the feet of Hans and Lua. The magic circle was shining light green like a forest.
Is it teleport magic? Hans nodded his head. With this, it seemed like it would be easy to get to them. At that time, after looking at Hans for a moment, Elder Makenis opened his mouth.
“Please save them.”
“Of course not.”
“Wait a minute, this is…!!”
Lua tried to stop it urgently. She had nothing to do with Captain Makenis, who had already been given permission by Hans. Besides, Hans had no intention of stopping it either. Right now, 1 minute and 1 second is a waste.
There was no way I could delay here any longer. As Lua’s words were put to shame, Captain Macennis immediately used teleportation magic. The green light of the magic circle swept over them.
After a very short time, I opened my eyes to the forest. However, it was not an elven forest. If the elven forest is an image of a general forest. This was a truly twisted forest.
Not only weeds, but even trees and insects. They were the first things I’d ever seen. It was on the lookout for intruders who suddenly broke in. Seeing that, Hans stuck out his tongue.
“Where is this place?”
“That’s why I stopped! You don’t need to know where you’re going at least!!”
“Because it was sent by Elder Makenis. I have no choice but to trust it.”
At Lua’s words, Hans chose a good excuse in his own way. In fact, there was no way that Elder Makenis would send them anywhere. It must have been somewhere related to them or nearby.
At least, Hans wanted to believe that.
* * *
I searched and searched the forest all day. Cluna Clara, let alone find her mother and daughter. He couldn’t even find the right way. In the end, Hans and Lua had no choice but to choose homelessness.
Unexpectedly, Lua liked it. This is the first time I’ve been sleeping outside. And that meant Hans had to do it all by himself. It was a pity that I brought the equipment.
If it wasn’t, I would almost start bivouac right away. Hans sighed and set up the tent. There were also food items brought from the Elven Village. This is already a little vague to write.
“The fruit is filthy and tasteless.”
“It might be poisonous.”
“It’s twisted, but it’s an apple. It’s just that it doesn’t taste very good.”
“I see.”
In addition, clinical trials have already been conducted. He caught a passing monster and put the fruit in its mouth. Most of the berries were not poisonous. However, the banana-like fruit was very serious.
“If I had eaten that banana, I would have been in trouble.”
“The monster died in less than 3 seconds.”
“Yes.”
Hans frowned at the filthy taste of the fruit. He chuckled and put it in his mouth. He had no choice but to conserve food. He thought about roasting and eating monsters. I gave up on that idea.
First of all, it was because the smell was so disgusting that I couldn’t eat it. On the other hand, Lua was good and she was sucking the blood of monsters. Hans said with a tired expression.
“Is that blood so delicious?”
“No, it doesn’t taste good. But I can’t help it because I’m hungry.”
“I see.”
Lua continued to look at Hans in silence. But Hans lightly ignored that gaze. It was because he had been sending that gaze from time to time. 3 Years ago, in that tunnel.
‘Thinking about it, I got a lot of help from that kid.’
I don’t know if it was intended or not. A topic that comes up every day and every day. If you try to face them again, they run away. I stopped laughing because I looked like a cat.
Thanks to that, I was able to put down the burden on my heart just a little bit. Hans chose to trust his colleagues. The belief that you will survive without me. In a way, it sounded very irresponsible.
That was also the reason why Hans could trust his comrades. But Lua didn’t understand that. She doesn’t know the details, but according to her mother, she was betrayed by a colleague of hers, she said.

“How can you still trust your colleagues?”
“At least I don’t feel betrayed.”
“Why? They hypnotized you on their own.”
“People sometimes go astray. Especially in difficult situations like now.”
I was confused at first. And I wondered why, and there were times when I hated it. But as time passed, what remained was longing. He wanted to see everyone again.
“So you mean you forgive them all?”
“It will be determined according to the story.”
“How could that be?”
“That’s what forgiveness is. Very difficult, yet easy.”
Honestly, even Hans himself wasn’t sure. He just wants to meet and hear the story. Perhaps it will be decided after that. Hans let out a sigh. First of all, meeting
That time when I was forced to put the last tasteless fruit in my mouth and chew it. Hans felt familiar. The time when Zaerkan appeared every night and had nightmares. Similar to that but…….
At the same time, that sense of a different dimension. Hans raised his head. In a world where everything has stopped, where the color is dyed gray. She was there She was sitting on top of Lua and laughing.
“How did you get here?”
“Time. Why did you show up again, bastard?”
“No, just. I thought you might need my help.”
“……I don’t need your help anymore.”
“Really? I don’t think so.”
Her body was taken away from her by her. Except for the black eyes. The two pupils, divided into red and black, were fixed on Hans.
“For reference, the next thing I’ll take is the heart.”
“You’ll die if your heart is taken away.”
“It’s not like that either.”
“What do you mean?”
“Maybe we’ll find out sooner or later. There’s no turning back.”
The time when Hans was trying to reply to the appearance of time, which was casually talking out loud. Time in front of her disappears in an instant. Instead, Lua is blinking her eyes.
“Hans? Has something happened?”
“No, nothing.”
Hans coldly shook her head from side to side.
I don’t know what you’re thinking.
It won’t go the way you want it to.
