“First, I should introduce you to our Moonlight Wolf Association! sir! Have you ever heard of the legend of the wolf? A wolf is a symbol that realizes all noble and noble revenge with sharp, cold teeth! Our association came together and formed an organization under the leadership of King Lang, the king of wolves!”

“The purpose pursued by our association is simple! To achieve all the revenge in the world! We can help you take revenge yourself, or we can take revenge on you! Everything is up to you! We’re just here to help!”

“Anything related to revenge, we provide! It’s completely unpaid! It doesn’t matter what form of revenge you take, it doesn’t matter how you take revenge! For example, one way is to become great so that you don’t even feel revenge on the person you’re seeking revenge on! Looking at the customer’s perspective, it seems like he would be more interested in revenge for !”

“Ah, this is a business that looks like charity work! He wholeheartedly helps someone achieve revenge, which could be their life’s goal, without receiving a single penny! But our association isn’t doing this for business! Just to make your revenge a success! So I ran!”

“How did you run? How did I know you were seeking revenge? In fact, the famous Archangel Uriel also belongs to our association! Did you know that Uriel has the power of clairvoyance to see all things?”

“Anyway! Just tell us and we will help you get revenge anytime! That’s what we gathered together for! With the belief and ideology of realizing all the noble revenge in the world!”

I shout in a high voice to the barbarian who is looking at me with sullen eyes. This is because the higher the voice, the more trust it gives.

Why am I doing this? Of course, it was to open the door to dialogue with King Nio.

King Nioh loved Saint Irowel. Saint Irowel is killed by a group of monsters under the Dragon King Endros. Nioh may not know that fact, but it is highly likely that Nioh harbors hostility towards the monster hordes or the Dragon King Endros.

Later, Nioh hunts the Dragon King Endros with Merlin Gregory. Perhaps that too is an effect of hostility.

Oh, by the way, Merlin Gregory is the wizard who stained the latter half of my past life with seizures. Merlin Gregory, a magic genius never before seen in history, who reached the 9th circle and earned the title of great sage.

In his previous life, he died by my hands, and upon his death, he cast an irreversible magic on me and suffered a seizure for 24 hours.

In this life, I intercept Nioh. Of course, we need to make sure that Merlin Gregory and King Nio capture the Dragon King Endros together so that causality is not affected.

With that in mind, I excitedly waved the bait towards Nioh, as if tempting him.

“That… .”

“Yes? What did you say? Please speak a little louder!”

“I will not take revenge… .”

what.

“I will not take revenge… No work… .”

The slurred voice goes against my expectations.

What is this?

“Something like revenge… It’s harmful… .”

There is nothing special about the barbarian gaze that gazes at me. This means that there was no interest or even interest.

“Rather… .”

No, that’s not it.

Savage eyes that seem to be interested in ‘something else’.

“Did you just say something…? ? Can you speak… ?”

“What do you mean?”

“This is my first time seeing you since ‘Her’… ! One who knows how to speak!”

The barbarian’s voice is alive. He grabbed my gloved hand with a look of great anticipation on his face.

Then, he shook it up and down.

Bung bung bung-!

Wow, it’s such an overwhelming force that you can’t even think of resisting it. The bulging blood vessels and bulging muscles that looked as if they were about to burst were not just decoration. Is this the power of the native barbarians who grew up eating in the forest? I feel like my hands will be crushed.

But I can’t resist shaking his hand. Because the barbarian is truly happy. Just because I can ‘speak’.

“‘She’ said what I should do… ? When guests come… Let’s bring it inside the house… ah! Come in! I will treat you… !”

A barbarian who pulls me into a hut, spouting awkward language. The force was so strong that I was helplessly dragged away without even being able to say anything.

“Eat a lot even if you don’t have anything prepared! ah… Isn’t this… ? Should I ask first if he is hungry?”

The savage who entered the hut asked me to sit down on a creaky wooden chair. It was a chair that wasn’t very elaborate. To the point where I thought it would be better to sit at the base of a tree than to sit on a chair like this.

Of course, I didn’t refuse the favor. Perhaps because I knew how to speak, the barbarians were quite friendly to me. Contrary to his blunt first impression, there is a smile on his face.

When I sat down on the chair, it made a creaking noise and rattled. Oh, is it okay to treat guests like this now? I tolerate it because he is Nioh.

“But, can I ask you something?”

“Of course! Please understand even if my answer is poor… ! It’s been ten years since I’ve had a conversation with someone… !”

“Well, I just need to figure it out on my own… Why did you bring me into the house? You’re not even going to take revenge?”

As if there were so many miscellaneous things in the small hut, the savage unfolded a wooden table he had taken from somewhere and placed it in front of me. Then, he placed another chair across from me and sat on it, squatting down so big that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get used to it.

I put my hand under the table and smoothed it with my fingertips. It is a fairly old and worn-out table. It’s as if it’s been used for at least a dozen years.

“I just want to talk with you!”

“What are you talking about?”

“‘She’ said that… ! People must talk to someone… ! If you don’t have anyone to talk to, you should at least talk to yourself… ! That way you won’t forget the language!”

“Wait, wait a minute.”

The same words are repeated over and over again.

“You keep mentioning ‘her’ earlier. Why are you doing that?”

“Because ‘she’ is my teacher!”

“… if. That person called ‘her’.”

There is one person who is expected to go.

He was probably the only human who entered the Demon Forest during this period and came into contact with Nioh.

“Are you talking about Saint Irowell?”

“Do you know Lowell!”

A big smile spreads across the savage’s face. It’s a reaction as if hearing a happy name.

“Do you know Irowel too? nice to meet! Really nice to meet you!”

Wow!

The barbarian grabs my hand and shakes it again. Oh, my arm feels like it’s going to fall off.

“… ! Do you know Irowel? I know because I’ve had some help in the past! that… So, could you please let go of my hand… ?”

“Ah! It’s been so long since I’ve met someone that I forgot! Irowell told me to always control my strength when shaking hands!”

“Ha, you are very excited. I guess you also have some ties to Irowell?”

“Everything! But you also received help from Irowell? As expected, Irowell is beautiful!”

The language of barbarians is poor. If you have a good heart, you are expressing that you are beautiful.

First, my job is to find clues in those awkward words.

Just now the barbarian clearly said you too.

The basis of connecting people is to create common ground. By doing so, a consensus is formed.

Found it, consensus. I never thought a word I threw away would come back with such good luck.

“A long time ago, I was passing through a mountain valley in the Corinth region. At that time, I was an ordinary merchant.”

“What are you talking about now…? ?”

“You seem to be interested in Mr. Irowell, so I’m trying to unravel what happened with Mr. Irowell. Don’t you like it? Well then, well.”

“Oh, no! I don’t hate it! Anything related to Irowell! I want to hear as much as I can!”

“Right? Okay, then let’s start again. It was when I was passing through the mountain valleys of the Corinth region, and at that time I was just a common merchant.”

The Corinth region that was used to lure Beatrice away a hundred years ago will be used again. If I actually pass by there in the future, I’ll have to throw in some money. I keep being indebted to people I don’t even know.

“A summer day with a gloomy rainy season… The forest in that weather is terrible. The ground is soggy, the rain is falling, and there is no place to take shelter. In that place, I was walking hard to get to my destination. But was it halfway up the mountain? Suddenly, bandits appeared!”

“Bandits? Ah, I heard it from Irowel… . They are robbers who take something from people by force.”

Perhaps because he is a Nio who lives in the forest, his reaction seems as if he has no experience of meeting bandits.

“Yes! Those same bandits appeared in front of me, who had no power whatsoever! I was helpless, all the money I had was taken away, and I was captured with both my arms held down by those guys! But didn’t God abandon me? Just when I thought everything was over, a woman was coming up from the other side of the hill!”

“No way, that is Irowel… ?”

“That’s right! Both I and the bandits could recognize them at a glance! That person is Saint Irowell! Since he was the most famous person on the continent, it was impossible to not recognize him! Anyway, I felt lucky in the midst of danger, so I immediately screamed and wanted to be rescued by him!”

I am a talented storyteller. There is nothing more enjoyable than tricking others into following your tastes. That’s why I’m happy now.

“If you are a saint, you will naturally possess greater divine power than anyone else on the continent. It wouldn’t be a task to deal with a few bandits like that. The bandits must have felt the same way, as they trembled when they saw Irowell.”

“But the bandits were not fools. They must have realized that I was about to scream, so they immediately took out a small, cold pocket knife and held it to the back of my neck. I naturally hid my tied hands by crossing my shoulders.”

“And then he whispered to me secretly. ‘Smile.’ It is said that the saint’s divine power can heal everything in the world, but it cannot bring the dead back to life. The bandits put their swords in a position where they could kill me at any time, and smiled heartily at Saint Irowell. Just like normal friends.”

A savage like that… He lets out a short sigh. Okay, now it’s Irowell’s turn to act.

“One! Saint Irowell was a great person! He looked at us strangely for a moment as we met him on the mountain path, and then approached us to ask us for directions. The moment you reach the distance you can reach if you stretch out your arms! Something moves at the speed of a beam of light! It moved and the bandits flew away screaming!”

“Ooooh! Did Irowell do this?”

“Who else but Him could show such divine authority! Of course, it was Saint Irowel who did it! Anyway, even though it was a short relationship, I owed my life to Saint Irowell, and to this day, I live with gratitude every day! This is my story!”

match-!

To express my gratitude for listening to the whole story, I put my hands together and clapped once. The barbarian seemed to have quite enjoyed my story, and his expression was full of excitement.

“That’s right! that’s right! This is Irowel I know! Irowell does not ignore the suffering of others!”

When I saw that, I opened my palms that were facing each other. With my palms facing upward, my arms spread out to my sides, I gently kiss my mouth.

“Then now.”

“Hmm?”

“Can you tell me what kind of help you received from Saint Irowell?”

It’s time to move on to the main story.

“Umm… Am I saying… ? Me and Irowel… .”

The bright smile that had always been on the savage’s lips disappeared. The savage man stroked his bushy beard for a moment, then opened his mouth with a faint smile.

“When I first met Irowel… I saw her as prey and pounced on her.”

… Prey?
