episode_0135

I looked at the body that Juul had thrown away.

The transparent crystal ring was the most expensive looking thing, and the money was a few copper coins and silver coins.

There are only various daily necessities and miscellaneous items.

They say he was a puppet targeting me in the first place.

All three were wearing crystal rings in common.

I took only the crystal ring and put it in my pocket.

Outside the window, the smell of blood and internal organs stung my nose.

Right now, I saw several roaches as I was dusting off the corpse like a scavenger, but what happens if I spend the night and leave?

Paris, a wheel, a bear, a fox, a wolf, an eagle… It will be complete hell. I just hope things like that don’t come into my house.

At the same time, doubts arose.

‘Why did you kill him?’

The Jules I saw were not people who killed people for personal reasons. What on earth did Jules see that made him do that?

What did you see that made a person crush another person like that? Before we knew it, Jules, who was completely wet, opened the door and entered the house.

“Somehow, it seemed like there was no way one towel could do it all. Come here.”

I pulled the leather blanket to the floor, laid it on the floor, and lit a fire in the stove. Jules approached me without a word and sat down on the leather blanket, shaking out her hair from the fire.

I was reluctant to question the person who came in after washing up, and I felt like the atmosphere would get weird if I made eye contact for no reason, so I collapsed into the fire without saying a word.

“When you were crying on the wall, they were making a fuss.”

You speak first.

Because I was looking at the ceiling, I couldn’t see Jules’ face.

“Why?”

“Purple smoke was staring straight into your face. I don’t know why they listened to your parents, but it’s probably not a good reason.”

…Are you saying you were interested in my father and in me being his son? Was Jules watching that?

“When you were crying and disorganized, solid purple lines covered the sky. It was twisted together like a giant rope and shot at you.”

It is said that he tried to pierce my mind when I was distracted by the amount of water after realizing that I had no problem with just a few strands.

“Did you know that the dragonia on the castle wall also helped you at that time? But even the almighty Dragonia couldn’t help it. In the end, it penetrated into your ears.”

“I’m immune anyway.”

“No. The gaze within the ‘veil’ you covered smiled at you. An arm came out from within the tent, hugged you, groped you, and began to crawl out.”

Jules’ mood became ugly.

“I thought I shouldn’t wait and see.”

Thanks to the restrictions of the ‘veil’, it means that they remained silent and could not bear it. I didn’t even know that Dragonia helped us.

So, soon I will be wanted.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

“Good job.”

Now that we understand the circumstances, we need to find out the cause. Circumstantially, the hallucination is looking for ‘Dantalian’s agent’.

The good news is that my family abandoned me.

And that I accepted that. The possibility that ‘hallucinations’ would devastate my family became less and less likely.

‘I don’t know anymore.’

Now I don’t even have to think about it.

“You smell like dead people.”

“I brought it because there was a unique item.”

“If you take something like that, you will be cursed by Pluto.”

Wasn’t it Jules who did the damned thing, not me?

“I ask you to try it. Are you saying you’ve already been taken by Pluto? Don’t wake up the soul carelessly~ You said that and you gained weight?”

“Are you talking about seeing a ghost?”

“Yes.”

If Jules said it, doesn’t that mean that Julias was also destined to die by Pluto? Otherwise, the ‘soul’ itself might have been released from prison and tried to kill Julias someday.

That day, I definitely felt a physical force from Sorshei. Jules snorted and lay down with me.

“There will be no other servant who receives attention and is hated by servants like you.”

Do it or not, it doesn’t matter.

“Why? Can Pluto take revenge on me?”

“Okay. Pluto personally executed the demi-human who received the grudges of numerous demi-humans.”

There are definitely people who do things that inevitably lead to resentment. Would a servant really understand Ain’s situation and execute him? no.

It’s a popular rumor, and it all probably happened because the ‘soul’ was released.

“Wow, you are a great agent.”

I got up from my seat.

“If you sleep today, go home.”

“And you?”

“I have to live here.”

“You’re not even an adult yet.”

Jules seems to want to take me with him.

“Probably not.”

I denied it.

Jules looked at me like that and eventually smiled.

“······Why is this kid so clever?”

It looks like he decided to send it off with a smile.

“Do you know that now?”

I smiled slyly and climbed onto the bed.

With this, my last relationship has come to an end.

*

“What the fuck.”

I usually don’t swear, but I couldn’t help but swear. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of cockroaches were crowding around and eating the corpses.

“Do you see that? That tragedy committed by Juul?”

Juul couldn’t stand it anymore, his tail puffed out like a fox’s.

“···I’m sorry.”

“It’s a shame that the house was sprinkled with the alchemist’s elixir, otherwise my house would have been covered in roaches.”

I let out a forced sigh.

Jules tries to clean up the corpse, which is littered with wheels.

The wheels didn’t really matter.

“Don’t do it. Just leave it.”

“But──” “I’ll take care of it.”

I held out the dragon’s poison powder to Juul, who was looking at me.

“Take it.”

Jules eyes narrowed.

He must have realized that I was trying to completely cut ties. Yeah, that’s too blatant.

“This? Why?”

“Because pests cannot enter our house. People camping should carry these things with them.”

“I don’t need it.”

“Then give me a break.”

I only feel sorry for Shir.

However, shouldn’t I live my own life too?

Juul eventually accepted the disgusting powder.

“So far, it was still quite fun.”

I meant it. I enjoyed my time with Jules.

“I had fun too.”

I was glad that Jules thought so too.

“···Let’s take a look.”

“If I happen to pass by later, I’ll stop by.”

“Yes.”

Jules begins to climb the ridge.

I looked at Jules until his back disappeared. Then, when I made eye contact with Juul, who was looking back, Juul waved his hand as if it was awkward.

Eventually, Juul disappeared over the ridge.

“Phew.”

It feels like the party is over.

The silence and loneliness you feel when your friends leave after a housewarming party.

So I wanted to enjoy luxury.

I poured water into the bathtub and set it on fire.

There will be some soot, but this is the last time anyway.

What I do is self-destruction due to stress.

I know it’s wrong.

‘But what should I do?’

There is no ‘Jeon Si-hyeon’ or ‘Rian’.

Therefore, ‘Ri Si-hyeon’ cannot be established. Now that I have cut off all ties, I am no longer able to establish myself as a human being.

So, it doesn’t matter if I die. It’s not a nuisance.

‘What did I do wrong?’

I don’t know. I think I worked really hard.

In the next life, let’s live smartly, not hard. That’s all I think. After turning off the fire, I lay down in the moderately warm water.

In it, he cut his wrist with a karambit.

“······!”

it hurts!

Blood is seeping out of my wrist.

Arteries are deeper than veins.

Therefore, if you pierce between the ulna and radius, the blood will come out to the point of death.

The reason we didn’t do that is because the karambit is shaped like a claw, making it unsuitable for stabbing. Because it hurts when you hit it with something like this. Of course, a person dies just by cutting a vein.

It just takes a little more time.

‘that’s interesting.’

If it had been in the past, I would have screamed in surprise.

Now it was just a wound that could be healed with just a drop of the Precious Blood I received from Amor.

So there is no sense of crisis.

It was refreshing.

I guess people have died from even small wounds like this.

“Now, let’s go to the next life…”

When I die, my corpse will melt and this bathtub will turn into rotten human soup. If someone cares about me like that, that true person will discover the Precious Blood.

‘······I hope it’s Juul.’

I just received it from that person.

Actually, I wanted to give him blood in addition to the disgust, but I couldn’t because I thought he would have noticed if I had done so.

With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes while looking at the sun. Even when I close my eyelids, the sunlight tickles my eyes.

How many minutes passed like that?

By the time I was starting to get tired.

The sunlight that penetrated my eyelids disappeared.

I realized it intuitively.

The thing standing before my eyes is Jules.

······Shameful.

I pretended to be dead and closed my eyes and stopped breathing.

“Humans think that carnivores react to the fishy smell of blood, but it is different.”

“Blood itself has a scent. It smells like perfume from the moment it comes out. It’s a very sweet scent for us carnivores.”

“The smell of blood that humans refer to is the fishy smell that occurs the moment blood mixes with skin oil. This is terrible.”

“It was so poisonous that during the war, people used to send signals by rubbing the blood into their palms.”

Damn it.

“Blood mixed with the oil of your skin, and a foul bloody smell spread far away.”

“······I didn’t know that.”

“Do you usually wash it?”

Jules sat down next to me.

“When I smelled the blood, the musty thing was venous bleeding. It takes 20 more minutes to die.”

“So?”

“Why do you want to die?”

To die and be reborn.

This time, I will be faithful to my filial piety and live happily.

However, I cannot say this to Jules.

“Puberty.”

Kick! I laughed, but Jules didn’t laugh.

I feel so embarrassed.

“You’re not old enough to experience something like that.”

In the bathtub, which was red with Juul’s blood, the dragon took out a syringe. They are going to inject me.

“The engraving is engraved, so no one but me can use it.”

“······Really?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Do you want to go sick? Or do you want to go comfortably?”

“Where are you going?”

“Okay. Let’s go sick.”

Eventually, what Jules brought was a tourniquet.

He plans to force me to live. It’s obvious that it will hurt.

In the end, I ended up injecting myself with the Precious Blood before Juul approached me.

*

Jules didn’t say anything, and I also lay on the bed in silence.

How long has it been like that?

“Why did you try to commit suicide?”

Jules cried.

···Why did you try to commit suicide?

You just have to accept it.

I told Jules the story of the two families I couldn’t protect.

“······So, I lost both my family members. I want to feel comfortable now.”

Because I was reincarnated.

Jules snorted.

“Stupid guy.”

───Stupid guy?

“You should have respected your mother’s choice.”

…So, you should have let your mother die?

Omanjeong fell. Although I made many mistakes, I never did anything to deserve criticism.

“What did you say just now?”

“You can struggle because you’re human, right?!”

“Do you know what freedom fears most?”

“It’s about choice and regret.”

“People are brought to the judgment table just because they are alive.”

“But time doesn’t wait. In the end, you have to choose something and accept it.”

“What if I make the wrong choice there? Well, you could do it wrong! Because we’re people!”

“Who knew?! The bastard who created this world, the Creator, is a psychopath who openly tries to screw over his creation───?!”

“But you say I’m stupid?!”

“Stupid.”

Jules got up from his seat and approached me.

“You were so sad when your parents tried to disappear, leaving you behind, but you don’t think about the people left behind in the world where you disappeared.”

“I thought I had everything sorted out. Before Juul popped out.”

“Is it the end if we don’t know?”

······It was such a mean feeling.

But I never thought he would come back after smelling blood.

Eventually, silence fell in the house.

“So, what are you going to do?”

I tried to raise Juul by telling him that whatever happens, happens.

“How about something like this.”

Jules, sitting on the bed, looks down at me.

“Let’s be precious to each other.”

······what?

“I will love you, and you love me too.”

“What a piece of shit───.”

I tried to stand up, but was pushed down by just one finger.

Slurp-

“I will be the foundation for you to stand up again.”

“In return, all you have to do is love me.”

What is this person saying now?

Don’t we suddenly become precious to each other, love and be loved?

·

·

·

This sounds like bullshit.

I think that’s bullshit, right?

Have you received a confession now? In this situation?

·

·

·

No, confession is excessive self-consciousness.

Are you kidding me? Why now?

no. This person’s eyes are sincere.

They are sincerely saying that.

In this situation.

“Pfft!”

It’s strange.

It was so strange that I burst out laughing.

A contagious and unfamiliar smile appeared on Jules as well.

“How old are you like this?”

“You must be over 20 years old.”

That’s right.

Almaengi is one year older than Juul.

There is only one year difference between me and this amazing person.

“People live to be happy.”

“That’s right.”

“So, most unhappy problems are solved the moment you become happy.”

I laughed at the sophistry.

Who provides free happiness to others?

···Jul was already blazing at me like a snake.

Ah, I see. It’s this person.

The person who always provided me with free happiness.

What on earth does this person see in my ugly appearance that makes him love me?

I do not know.

Still, I felt like I wanted to lean in a little bit now.

“When is your birthday?”

“In 2 months. Just 60 days later.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“At that time, it hadn’t even been that long since we met. When is Juul coming?”

“I don’t know.”

······is it.

Because this person’s life wasn’t easy either.

“Then my birthday will be 60 days later.”

Jules shrugs and jokes.

“Quuk! is it so. Let’s do it on the same day.”

Jules smiled and untied her hair.

Silver hair pours down on me, covering the surroundings like a curtain.

The face with its chin raised and its downcast smile was very alluring. First, I tried to stand up.

Kuuk!

But Jules pokes my chest again with his finger.

Fluttering─

I just fell apart.

“I’ve lost a lot of blood, so if I stand up now, I’ll collapse.”

“No. Are you okay?”

“They say it’s not enough.”

Jules kissed me and started giving me free happiness.
