“Tongue, my brother got stabbed!”
“Liam!”
-Liam run away!!
Liam, who was delighted, froze for a moment as he saw his brother’s face overlapping with Logs’ urgent call.
“Why, why are you like that, bro!”
“Run away quickly…!”
Kukukukukuku—!!!
“You noticed right away that I’m not dead.”
The tentacles that emerged from the severed section joined together and attached themselves to the head that had fallen off. He was back to his previous state perfectly, so fast that I couldn’t even think of stopping him. Damn, I never thought I’d see that ability again.
I was tearing my hair out on the inside, but I didn’t show it on the outside. I spoke with as calm an expression as I could muster.
“I know because I’ve met people with similar abilities.”
“Similar… Oh, I see. You’re the one who killed Aster among those uncivilized heretics!”
“It was in the newspaper, but you pretend not to know.”
“Hahaha!! Don’t worry about the details, I’ll just get to the point. I’m interested in you.”
‘…I don’t have any.’
Can’t you just disappear from here?
This is the type of enemy that has fought Aster before.
But it’s a completely different situation than Aster’s time.
At that time, I was able to use the devil’s power freely, but now I was not in a position to use black magic.
That means I can’t beat him now.
The inverted cross drawn on the man’s pupil appeared right before my eyes.
“You look like you don’t like it.”
I was surprised at his sudden closing of the distance, but this time too, I responded to his words naturally and without showing it.
“Of course.”
“But you better not hate it too much. I don’t think you’ll mind our offer either.”
“…What is that?”
“Are you curious? But I wasted too much time, so the 10 warriors came. So I hope we can talk more leisurely next time.”
I said goodbye to him in my heart as he leisurely disappeared into the portal.
‘Please, let this be our last meeting.’
I immediately checked Liam and then checked where the saint was.
“Saint!!”
There, Ruggs and Stella, panting behind them, approached the saintess first.
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
“Don’t blame yourself too much, it was an unavoidable accident.”
Russis nodded at her answer.
“Thank you for forgiving me… I will deploy stronger soldiers around here in the future.”
While this conversation was going on, Stella, who was comforting Blondie, spoke to Ruggs in a sly way.
“Senior, should we chase the inverted cross that just ran away?”
“Anyway, we’ll just chase and fight. For now, we’ll deploy personnel to restore the orphanage.”
“Okay, sir.”
Stella’s gaze, which had been gazing at Ruggies, turned back to Blondie. At first glance, her two legs were shaking so badly that it seemed difficult for her to stand upright.
Stella bit her lip in anger at the inverted cross that had made her like this.
But Stella quickly calmed down and placed a hand on Blondie’s head.
Stella smiled at the helpless Blondie.
“It’s too dangerous here, shall we go out, kid?”
Blondie nodded without answering her question.
I was watching the scene from afar and I approached Liam and said.
“Don’t you have to go too, kid?”
“Not a kid…”
I was disgusted that the once confident Liam had become so dispirited. Perhaps that was why Liam shouted in anger.
“Ah! I’m not a kid!!”
“Who said what?”
“Profit!!”
When I raised both arms to try to get away, Liam couldn’t say anything in return and just clenched his fists.
I know he was trying to express that he was angry, but to me, he just looked like a barking puppy.
I burst out laughing at Liam’s trembling fist.
“It’s normal to see you getting annoyed. Let’s go back quickly.”
“Just sleep…that…”
Liam grabbed my arm.
“Why did you tell me to run away when you were just fighting that bad guy?”
“Out of the blue.”
“I just suddenly got curious.”
I couldn’t guess the intention of the question at all, but I burst out laughing at his expression that seemed to demand an answer.
“If you live, the saintess won’t be sad.”
“…Then my brother could have died!”
“Why are you suddenly getting angry over something weird?”
“Think about the people who will be sad when you die!”
Liam, who said such righteous things for his age, must have said those words out of concern for me. However, his words of comfort were poison to me.
I spoke to him with my mouth shut.
“Ugh…Unfortunately, there’s no one here…”
“…Why aren’t you here! I’m here!”
“Oh…”
His words, more comforting than any other words, calmed the tears that were on the verge of welling up in me.
“I feel good hearing that, thank you.”
“Thank you…? No, seriously… Ouch!”
I weakly grabbed Liam’s cheek as he spoke like a cuckoo.
This is enough.
The more I listen to it, the more it sounds like nagging.
And at this age, I don’t want to be nagged by a child.
“Okay, stop it.”
“Come on.”
I couldn’t hear it clearly because it was a duck mouth made for me, but it probably said, ‘Let go of this.’
That scene was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh and hold my stomach as I let him go.
“Hey, don’t laugh!”
Liam started laughing louder, his cheeks flushed.
“This profit!!”
Someone approached me as I was laughing like a madman, like an endless loop.
“Did you say logs?”
“…Yes.”
He was a 3rd class warrior Ruggs.
“Thank you for saving the saint.”
I swallowed at his thanks.
Maybe Kadirana Sarah would have accepted the greeting well, but not me.
It was too dangerous for me to stay with this guy for too long. In the first place, who would want to stay with someone who could kill them like an insect?
First of all, it’s not me.
“It was nothing. And please take care of this child.”
I quickly left the place, leaving Liam in his care after receiving his brief thanks. I could hear about the saint’s condition from Lina later.
I glanced at the saint on my way.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that the Saintess, who was being supported by Stella, only had minor injuries on her body, like bruises.
And then, as I was trying to look straight ahead, Stella appeared in my sight.
She was somehow giving off a murderous aura as if she was going to kill me. West, did I get caught?
I shook my head slightly. No way, let’s go with confidence.
I ran out of the orphanage, ignoring the gazes of the soldiers who were cleaning up the area as best as they could.
As I reached the entrance.
I saw so many children.
Some were crying, some were fidgeting.
There was so much emotion going on between them.
And then I saw the nuns and children comforting them.
Among them, the first ones I discovered as I walked out of the entrance were Sarah and Kadira.
The two of them said something to the children they were comforting, and then ran to me. Ah… This day has finally come for me.
I prepared to accept the words I had been waiting for, as they came out of Sarah and Kadira’s mouths. And then I heard their voices.
“How can you leave Cecilia behind!!” / “Really, no matter what, you have to bring Cecilia with you!”
“Throw it away?”
“Where have you been so far?”
“Uh…that…”
“9 I heard everything from Warrior Stella, you ran away alone? ”
We fight all the time, so why is it that our breathing is so good only when you curse at me?
“I said I didn’t run away… If I had run away in the first place, would I have walked out of the orphanage entrance? ”
“Ah…that…is right.”
The two of them, who had never offered any consolation to my bitter reaction, were looking perplexed today for some reason.
‘Oh, the reaction isn’t bad?’
I continued, hiding my playful smile.
“Yeah, that could be misunderstood. But… I think it’s safer to go alone with 10 warriors, so you shouldn’t criticize me for going alone…”
“…”
Sarah and Kadira began to look at each other without saying a word. What is it?
Were the two of you this type?
Whatever, is this fun?
I laughed to myself and didn’t say anything. The two of them noticed that the mood had turned sour and their expressions darkened.
If you tease me any more, I’ll really hit you later.
Oh my… I’ll let you off just this once.
I said, showing them both fake movements.
“Just kidding.”
“…”
“…No kids, I’m joking. Why aren’t you responding?”
“…”
When I looked closely at the two who were not responding, I saw that they were looking somewhere else, not at me. What the heck.
Sensing something odd about him, I immediately turned my gaze. And then I could see that a beautiful woman was approaching us.
‘Wow…this is crazy.’
The reason I was impressed wasn’t because of her looks.
I unconsciously let out a sigh of admiration at her enormous size and attitude that contrasted with her dainty appearance.
But my admiration didn’t last long. I quickly turned my gaze away from her slowly walking towards me.
I don’t know why, but I felt like she had the aura of someone as fierce as Sarah. According to my data, someone who exudes that kind of aura could be angry just by looking at them.
‘I’m glad I realized it quickly…’
I let out a sigh of relief and turned my gaze back to the two of them.
“…Why are you guys suddenly like that?”
Kadira and Sarah didn’t answer my question and just looked at me with bewildered expressions, not knowing where to look.
Still, I wouldn’t have been surprised at this level. But Sarah’s expression was more serious than Kadira’s.
She swallowed dry saliva and was sweating profusely. Then, like a cat preparing to run away from this place.
I could sense a tremendous amount of tension and concentration from her.
That was the moment when I decided I had to escape from Sarah’s mind.
The woman who had frightened Sarah was already standing in front of her.
“Eww!!”
With Sarah’s scream, the woman quickly flew her arms at Sarah and smiled brightly.
“Got it!!”
“Leave it alone, sis! The kids are all watching!!”
“Why! Even though there were other kids, you hugged me without any problem.”
“No, that’s not it!”
Sarah glanced at me sideways and then pushed her sister away again.
“Anyway, come down quickly!”
“Oh my… It’s been a while since I’ve hugged Kadira, shall we?”
“Huh? That… Okay, wait a minute… ”
She ignored Kadira’s opinions and hugged Kadira.
Unlike Sarah, thanks to Kadirara, who was quietly being held, I had the opportunity to look straight at the woman’s face, and I didn’t miss the timing and looked at her.
And then I remembered that I had seen her in a newspaper article.
Sana Hilita.
She was the youngest knight in charge of the 10 Warriors and was the older sister of Sarah, who was next to me.
And then the scene where I first met Sarah came to my mind.
‘So that’s why there was a personal rest area…’
“I’m a 10-year-old warrior, so aren’t you avoiding me too much these days, Kadira?”
“That’s not it…that…”
Kadira also looked at me sideways like Sarah. Sarah too… If you don’t say anything, I won’t know.
I sighed and looked at Sarah.
Sarah kept talking to me with an urgent look on her face.
Of course, I didn’t understand what she meant, so I looked at her more closely.
But before I could notice the shape of her mouth, Sana, who was suspicious of the two’s strange reactions, turned her gaze to me first.
Sana and I looked at each other’s faces in silence.
And the first person to react was Sana.
“Just sleep, black hair…you!”
“Hello, I am Logs Avance…”
“ Sarah Urin’s Shangnom’s baby !! ”
“Yes?”
Only then did I realize that Sarah and Kadira had been trying to save me, but too much time had passed for me to receive their favor.
“Hey, it’s nice to meet you.”
Sana approached me, holding the handle of an oversized sword.
The person who saved my life at that time was Sarah.
“Oh, sis!! I’ll explain later, so let’s go in for now.”
“What are you doing, Sarah! Have you forgotten why your sister became a warrior!? Seriously, in a second, I’ll snap that little brat’s neck in half… !”
I nodded my thanks to Sarah, who dragged me into the orphanage while screaming at me. By the way.
The sisters have very similar personalities.
As I came to my senses while watching Sarah disappear, Kadira was glaring at me as if she had something to say to me.
I turned my head and asked Kadira, “Why?”
Kadira’s sharp words pierced my ears.
“So live a good life.”
“…”
That’s not me…
Well, I never thought it would be easy to get rid of it.
Although I consoled myself by saying that, it was natural to feel depressed at the thought that I still had a long way to go.
Then, I heard Kadira’s voice in my ears once again.
“I’ll ask next time and get angry, I’m sorry for misunderstanding.”
“Oh… Now you know how to apologize, you’ve grown up, Kadira?”
puck!
“Evil!!”
“A joke.”
“Who would hit me again right after apologizing?”
“It’s here~”
“…”
Logs didn’t show any discontent, but his eyes were filled with discontent.
Kadira ignored his gaze and turned her gaze elsewhere. Then, with a red face, she spoke to herself.
‘I was going to apologize and say thank you when Sarah wasn’t around!!’
Everything is ruined because of Logs!!
Of course, the object of that apology and gratitude was Logs.
