“Whoo! Thank you for your hard work!”

“You had a hard time too.”

By the time training ended, the sun was high in the sky.

The children seemed to have decided to rest in the village because Mira was not feeling well.

Because I was rolling in the scorching sun, I had no desire to go outside, and I needed to tell Jules what I had said with Amy before I forgot it.

It was also time to learn how to write.

After learning a few more elven words from the priest at the learning center, I headed straight home to find Zul.

As expected, Jules was taking a nap lazily.

“Jul, give me some time.”

I whispered into his ear, and he started trembling.

“I’m sleepy now…”

“You have to do it right away.”

“Okay…”

As if he didn’t want to get up, Jules closed his eyes and turned his head towards me. Although he may be dozing off, he is not a person who will listen half-heartedly.

Amy released some information she brought. Jules, who was lying down, suddenly opened his eyes. About halfway through, he sat down on the bed and started looking at me seriously.

I also needed to remember this, so I wrote down Immortal’s weaknesses in an essay.

“Maybe the other party doesn’t know Shir’s information yet.”

As I thought about it, something was unclear.

Amy was the first to come after hearing the rumors about me spreading around the walls of the large intestine.

It’s true that the other immortals also heard information about me and started prancing around like hyenas.

Not because of Shir, but because of me.

“I think they might mistake me for Amor.”

“···I will tell this to my sister and father.”

Juul might get over it, but there’s no guarantee that other people will.

“Body odor varies greatly depending on what you eat. The fundamental part doesn’t change, but you’ll have to take it in person to know for sure.”

“Immortal will return in the evening.”

Perhaps, Immortals will polymorph into elves that look most similar to humans and start asking around.

The base of action is from the Rhine River, which serves as the demarcation line.

Maybe you can disguise yourself as an elf and infiltrate Ymir’s tomb. I’ve heard a few times that there are secrets planted in public.

Additionally, it is obvious that an investigation will inevitably come into play here as well. I’ve been to Jule and Ymir’s graves a few times, and I’ve also been to the court.

My identity will be clearly identified.

A human slave beloved by the white wolf.

Even as a target for arrows, he defeated the wall guards.

Under the watchful eye of Dragonia.

────You might think, ‘Amor.’

The board laid out very well.

Shir never puts himself in danger.

“We need to be wary of merchants who come to this village to sell goods. I feel sorry for the Siren, but any giant eagle that wanders around for too long must be caught and killed.”

It is said that the nomads of Mongolia and Tibet, especially the Morgen people of Thailand, have eyesight similar to that of eagles, or even better. Therefore, giant eagles are also dangerous.

“Okay. Shir came and said that Immortal had visited. I think I should do that too.”

“We have to decide how to dispose of the immortal before it returns. We need to discuss it with the priest and Heilang right away.”

Jules jumps up from the bed.

“Let’s go.”

*

Sunset before it gets dark.

In the distance, I saw Amy pulling a small cart down the river. How did they do it? It looked like they had completely swept away all the alcohol in the village.

She spots me from a distance away and puts her strength on her feet.

As soon as I saw her, I flipped out.

···Drop! Grumble! Come on──!

Soon she served a cart full of alcohol in front of me.

“I went!”

“Oh, are you here?”

I naturally approached Amy and looked at the cart.

I don’t know what they did, but the cart was full of alcohol. How on earth did they roast and boil people?

“Wow, that’s amazing, isn’t it? I never thought I would even receive distilled liquor.”

“······Right?”

There is no such thing as wine, fruit wine, or bad alcohol.

How on earth did you do this?

“You are resourceful. I like it very much.”

I selected a few quality drinks in advance.

Jules is going to be crazy.

“You said before that you felt the waves of immortality in the colon wall, right? I have a question about that.”

“Yes. Ask anything!”

“That means you know that I am not Amor?”

“······.”

” Since Amy is competent, did you find out who the real Amor is?”

Silence fell.

I looked up at Amy.

She was in a panic.

He started to back away from me.

“······I got it.”

At that moment, Amy turned around and ran away with all her might.

Of course, I couldn’t even take a single step. Jules, who approached her like a ghost, was suddenly standing behind Amy.

“Heeek───?!”

Amy quickly ran away and hid behind me due to Jules’ evil energy. Dennis also came out of the tent, pulling the bowstring.

“I wish I didn’t know…”

He patted Amy with an indifferent expression.

“Oh, I won’t tell anyone about Amor’s identity. Think about it. That’s what I told you, right? Because I completely trust Seolrang and you────.”

“Whether Amy trusts me or not, I don’t.”

Amy trembled like a puppy, as if pleading.

“Now, the time has come to make a big decision that will determine Amy’s life.”

“Yes…?”

“Either die, or become my slave.”

“Why are you doing that all of a sudden? First of all, calm down. The reason I gave you all the information and the words you could understand was because I wanted to gain credibility!”

“Answer me.”

“I’m not a fool, do you think I said that for no reason?!”

“Are you thinking of selling Amor’s information and obtaining the blood from a man called ‘Father’?”

“I am the one who helped Amor escape, so what shame do I have to negotiate with my father?! You were so excited!”

“You can change your appearance. How does the person called ‘Father’ recognize you?”

Finally, Amy takes a deep breath.

His eyes were closed as if in resignation.

“······Even if I were to become a slave, I would not be able to receive the Precious Blood on a regular basis. Because it wouldn’t be worth it to me.”

“You will be able to survive.”

“So, somehow, I will end up dying in prison later. The direction you gave is somehow connected to my death! One way or another, I’m going to die! I don’t want to die. Even if all living things in the world die and turn to dust, I will survive till the end───!”

Amy lunged at me, pushing me away.

Pop!

At the same time, Dennis’ bow did not pierce Amy’s lung.

Amy used her hand as a shield to block the bow.

Amy, using me as a shield, put an arrow at my neck and started to back away.

Juk·i·ji·mal·ah·yo.

He mouthed a warning to the two.

“Don’t come any closer! If he comes, I will kill this guy!”

Ttuduk! Tdu-duk-duk–!

Amy polymorphs.

By the way, it seems like there’s something Amy doesn’t know.

Quick!

Arrow shafts are not made of ironwood.

“You have to hold the arrow short.”

“What?!”

Thump!

Amy, who was caught by Jules and thrown, flew away.

I think I’m a little angry.

Bang──!

“Ah black…?!”

Amy, who was thrown against the wall like in a boy’s cartoon, fell down. Eyes filled with astonishment roll down. By the time those eyes reached Juul, who was walking with great strides.

“No, I will be your slave! I will be your slave!”

Amy raised her hands.

*

Amy, who was locked up in a cage, was receiving a lot of attention from the children and various hossots who flocked to her.

“Is that really immortal?”

“It just looks like a human?”

There are many reasons.

First of all, Amy is very friendly to the village people. Amy could speak Hosot like a local.

There’s a bundle of stories there.

These three seem to be a plus factor for the village people. Especially for young children.

‘Before the Great War, we all lived together.’

Even I was listening to Amy’s story.

At the same time, it was clearly proven that the reason I was not popular in the village was simply because I was shy.

‘What can I do? ‘Oh my goodness.’

The five children and the other children, who always lacked stimulation, sat down on the mat and began exchanging trivial questions and answers with Amy. In particular, he answers Shir’s questions very warmly.

Most of what Amy tells us is stories about Drekkar or folk tales.

Even though I gave an example, he was the one who listened to my request.

I unilaterally locked up that person. This is very human-like behavior.

No matter what kind of person that person is, what is important is their outward behavior, not their feelings.

“Has the frame been made?”

“I already made everything for lunch. I’ve even covered it with a cloth, so take it away so no one can see.”

Schwein keeps his eyes focused on the bars and turns his face towards me.

“Is that the immortal? Being immortal and changing your appearance at will?”

“Yes.”

“He just seems like a human. That’s true, but didn’t you just grab her because you wanted her as a bride?”

Schwein glances in my direction with a suspicious gaze.

I thought it might look like that.

“When I first met that person. I thought it was my parents and hugged their backs. But there was no answer, so I looked up and saw that he was looking down at me.”

“What are you talking about? I heard you hugged my back?”

“My neck was turned backwards. My body twisted and turned back and forth. Then, he asked me who I was.”

“What? Haha!!!”

What was so funny? Schwein, who was laughing cheerfully, got up from his seat, groaning like an old man stretching out.

“That was a complete monster?! I have to go. The picture is in there.”

“Thank you.”

Juul reported the series of situations to the priest and Heilang and discussed them in front of Amy. At this point, I could just move it without the mice or birds noticing.

It’s a picture frame the size of my torso.

I held it carefully, afraid of dropping it, and opened the door to the workshop.

Amy was answering the three’s questions with a smile, and the children were looking at the three who stood up hesitantly at the appearance of the high-ranking people.

Anyway, secretly to the side───.

“Why are you so excited and cautious?”

“───?!”

Shir is sitting at the table and smiling with a mischievous expression.

That sight was very disgusting.

“Calm down. I’m just asking, right?”

Who on earth did you learn that from?

“I learned it from you.”

driving me crazy.

Now we can go beyond emotions and even read thoughts.

“I don’t know, anyway, quietly…”

“Sihyeon! Come here!”

Caught!

“Please keep this until I return. Never show it to anyone.”

Shir tilts his head and accepts the picture.

“What is this?”

“Image.”

I recklessly left the painting to Shir and headed to Jules.

“Wow…!”

Shir exclaims in admiration from behind.

Shir, who received the picture, took off the cloth and took a look.

I rushed over to Juul in case Juul noticed.

I used to like drawing people.

If you were to draw a picture of a person, what would you draw first?

It’s the face.

Yes. Even though I couldn’t draw the body, I was confident in drawing the face.

“Why are you doing that?”

The eyes of Heilang and the priest are fixed on me.

“From what I heard, the Immortal said you were the reason it came here.”

My heart sinks.

···Amy blew it honestly. Lying here may backfire.

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I heard many unbelievable stories from Juyul. Drekkar is preparing a surprise invasion of the South, or Immortals are gathering.”

I started to get nervous.

Just as Amy gave us the worst possible situation, this is also the worst possible situation for me.

If these two decide to expel me────

“Thank you so much for the important information.”

“······.”

Thank you?

This is not a rational judgment.

Shouldn’t we be told to leave town immediately?

why? Why not expel them? Maybe they haven’t yet come to the conclusion that the war is going on because of me.

‘There’s no way that father and daughter don’t know that.’

Wouldn’t it be followed by the saying that there is nothing we can do about it?

Like a death row inmate, I waited for the order to banish guests.

I was unconsciously holding my breath in anticipation, but the spirit of congratulations that had been waiting until I recognized it did not go away.

Just looking at me.

‘You will accommodate me?’

Could it be that the other person invades the South because of me? Your village is in danger because of me…?

“You’ve been receiving nothing but help since you saved Shir. It’s to the point where I feel bad about just receiving from you.”

The priest gently strokes my hair along the grain.

Heilang glanced at the priest and then looked at me right next to him.

······I see. I was recognized.

“The reason I called you is to decide what to do with that immortal.”

I feel like I received a birthday present.

Amy was looking at me with an emotionless expression.

A talent that is difficult to use and that it would be a shame to throw away.

‘It’s right to keep it.’

In the end, the only way to recognize an immortal is physically. However, Amy can easily recognize the immortal through the wavelength.

Being able to find out who you are by wavelength without even looking at it means that at least the inside of the village becomes a safe zone.

‘It’s worth it just for that.’

However, I don’t know what to do right now.

“Wouldn’t it be better to lock it up for now?”

Heilang shakes his head.

“We can’t keep them locked up in a place like this forever. Manpower is also consumed for surveillance.”

In the end, there is no choice but to kill it or take it out.

The first button was inserted incorrectly. As expected, my father’s words about being courteous and ethical to others were not wrong.

Since the relationship has become sour, there is no choice but to put it back together.

When I looked away from Heilang, I shifted my gaze to Amy inside the cage.

As I approached Amy, who was avoiding my gaze, Heilang made way for me.

“Amy. I know why you came here.”

“Why? You held me here, right?”

The eyes looking at me are just cruel.

I’m half serious. If I were to reveal Amy’s intentions here, it would be a mistake.

That’s why I can’t spit it out.

“There’s no way I don’t know Amy’s shallow numbers. Actually, it doesn’t really matter if you leave. Whatever happens in the future, it will happen somehow.”

You must have known from the beginning that I was not a Eucharist.

Amy was targeting Shir from the beginning.

Therefore, he wanted to enjoy eternal life by being subordinate to Shir.

Finally, a sorrowful expression began to appear on Amy’s face, asking her to please shut up.

“I’ll give you a chance. Work for the village.”

─Catch it.

Otherwise, you really have no choice but to kill. We haven’t even started forging armor yet. The most important thing is to make time.

Just as a bee kills a scout wasp, you must kill every Immortal that comes here. For that to happen, that person’s help is absolutely necessary.

Amy, who looked into my eyes in silence for a long time, eventually avoided eye contact and lowered her eyes.

“···That would be better than being trapped here and dying.”

good.

“Amy will become a slave to the village. The treatment won’t be bad. As you may have seen earlier, no one in this village treats slaves rudely.”

“So you locked me here?”

“It’s Amy’s fault for holding a weapon to someone’s neck.”

As it was, Amy was dead.

It would have been torn to pieces and eaten.

That’s what it meant to attack others in the South.

“You must serve the village and not harm the village people. You can’t hide anything, and you should always be proactive in helping people. Just don’t do anything that will get the elf living outside in trouble. Do you understand?”

“Yes. Do you have any advance money to give me?”

As the story ends on a positive note, Amy also regains some composure and throws it lightly.

“Your freedom. And… you know, right?”

When I opened the latch using the bundle of keys hanging next to the iron bars, Amy burst into laughter, as if she had no idea the key was there.

*

After the whole series of events was over, Shir quietly approached me with the painting.

And───

“···Can I draw it too?”

He asked me with bright eyes.

It feels strange, like I’m looking at an old Sur.

It wasn’t that it was bad. I just felt like I was guaranteed that the grain would be shriveled.

“I’ll draw it later.”

“Are you going to draw it better than this?”

“That is my masterpiece.”

I took the picture from Shir, who was pouting, and turned around.

‘It’s already night.’

The place where Amy rested became an abandoned house where children mainly stayed.

Deberg must have liked Amy so much that he supported her with various items. I’m sleeping in a sleeping bag now.

The night sky is dark.

I am fifteen years old today, and it has been 14 months since I recovered my memories. In the military, you are now a sergeant.

It’s strange how time goes by so quickly and yet so late.

The broken candle light seeped through the window.

Jules was waiting for me inside the house.

When I opened the door, there was a sweet smell.

“What is that smell?”

“Something for us to eat.”

Jules smiles happily and welcomes me.

What are we going to eat?

···I opened the lid of the mead, filled a fairly large cup, and set out a meal. Mainly focusing on things I enjoy eating, such as grilled sirloin and bird legs and wings.

It has a light yellow color like mead, and looks sweet and delicious.

“I’ve had that since a while ago, what is it?”

Jules’ eyes showed interest in the picture frame.

“This is a gift for Jule.”

It’s not much, though.

He removed the covering cloth and showed the picture.

“······.”

Jules takes a breath.

“Isn’t that… me?”

“Yes. It’s Juul.”

It’s the masterpiece of my life.

I proudly held out my drawing, and Jules carefully accepted it.

As if his dark adaptation was poor, he held the picture under candlelight and looked at himself in the picture.

“····I haven’t prepared anything.”

“Please do it next time.”

“····Thank you.”

I feel embarrassed for no reason because Jules’ voice is shaking.

It is a work of art that took over 30 hours of editing and editing to draw.

It felt like everything was compensated by those words.

“If you are grateful, please do better in the future.”

“Okay… I will.”

I didn’t mean it seriously.

Well… it’s good if you do well. You should eat it before it gets cold.

And so, an enjoyable meal began with sweet and bitter mead.
