It felt so good that I was ‘dying.’

    I can’t even remember properly from the middle. What’s certain is that if Shir hadn’t continued to give him holy blood, he would have definitely died.

    Of course, it’s easy for him to try to kill me.

    He poured out obscenities and moans full of affection into my ears, making sure to measure my body’s erogenous zones.

    Groots finally died last night.

    It lasted a long time in extreme conditions. Most of the poison has been neutralized.

    “Time flies so quickly. I have to go back already.”

    Does time go by quickly?

    “···I wish you were dead.”

    Shir, who was washing himself off from my curse, glances at me. There was a sarcastic smile on his lips.

    “What’s wrong? How much I like you If you really hated it, you wouldn’t have done it.”

    “Even if you like it, don’t do it.”

    After two days, the ego to judge disappeared.

    I don’t even remember how many times I did it, but I’m sure it was over a hundred times.

    Trapped, crushed, bitten, lifted…

    I drank liters of Shir’s clear blood.

    There is no swelling or bruising, and even if the bite wound is torn, everything heals right away.

    That further accelerated Shir’s crazy behavior.

    My head still feels fuzzy.

    It’s like I’m on drugs. Did I do it because I liked it or because I didn’t like it? I don’t know anything.

    Anyway, no matter what happens from now on, I will never go to the hunting festival with Shirwa. Shir drew out his own clear blood and handed me a syringe.

    “Your finger, why didn’t the wound heal right away?”

    “I didn’t want to do that.”

    Shir said it as if it were obvious.

    However, Amy said that wound recovery is not something that can be controlled. It’s strange that that was possible.

    “···Can you control that?”

    “Yes. It was possible.”

    I need to find out more.

    “What color does this look like?”

    As I held up the syringe, Shir tilted his head.

    “····Syringe?”

    “P.”

    “It is the red color of passion and love.”

    ‘is it.’

    There is no way that Shir could come to his senses after he shed what looked like transparent blood. The ability to make something that should normally be visible invisible.

    It’s mental interference.

    Shir is Venus’ representative and Venus’ totem. The problem is that we do not know why transparent blood flows.

    “What is it? Do you want to drink my blood too?”

    “It’s nothing.”

    He placed the Precious Blood on his waist and stretched.

    Shir looked down at the damp leather blanket.

    “···Should I throw this away?”

    “Of course. Look at the smell of chestnut flowers.”

    Although it is smoked, it is untanned rawhide.

    If you throw it into the water, it will fall apart and be eaten by crabs or fish.

    Plop!

    The skin was thrown into the river.

    Shir put on his underwear and moved Groots, who was out of rigor mortis, back and forth, and started pulling him with one hand.

    Kill that monster with just one hand.

    “····How can I pull it?”

    “I can do as well as my aunt.”

    That’s not a lie.

    I cleaned up my torn clothes and cleaned them up.

    “Sir, why don’t you learn how to write songs from Jule?”

    “···Gokdo?”

    “You’re immortal. I’m strong and don’t get tired. If you make it heavy and long and swing it, even Groots will be cut in half, right?”

    Shir stroked his chin and looked at me.

    “Is that so?”

    “Try it. It’ll definitely be cool.”

    “Um······.”

    Shir rolls his eyes and groans.

    “I’ll talk to you.”

    *

    The evening of the last day of the hunting festival.

    It is time for most of them to return.

    Hosott, who had just finished hunting and was carrying a deer on his shoulder, ran into Shir and groaned.

    “Shir?! ·····What is that?!”

    “With Groots.”

    “Oh, no! How did you catch it?!”

    “Me and Sihyeon caught it together.”

    I answer proudly without thinking about anything else.

    Hosott looked back and forth between Grootsrang and his deer, then began to run ahead at a slightly faster pace.

    The dirt on the path that Shir is walking on has fallen off under the weight of Grootslang, and the sentry is staring blankly in this direction.

    “Isn’t that Shir?”

    A sentry is looking this way and whispering.

    “What is that… Younggang, what is that?”

    Old Hosott looked this way, and after staring for a while, his eyes widened.

    “With…Groots!”

    “Yes? Don’t they live in the Deep South or Southeast?”

    “You idiot! Look at those tusks and nose! You can feel it just by looking at the head!”

    Dennis, who was sitting in the tent due to the commotion, glanced over and groaned.

    “Ri? Sur…?”

    “How have you been?”

    “I am always doing well. By the way, that’s…”

    How are you doing? Your face is very damaged.

    “It’s with Groots.”

    Caw?!

    Tinchy screams.

    He was frightened by the smell of Groots.

    Thanks to Tinch’s flapping wings, a lot of dust rose up.

    “Wow! Calm down!”

    Dennis alternates between hunting and ranching.

    Because I was so busy, I didn’t even see his face when he left for the coming-of-age ceremony.

    “It seems like you had a great adventure, but you seem very tired. Tell me the story later.”

    “Sure.”

    “Go in and rest.”

    “····· Sur? Sihyeon?”

    Jules’ extremely happy voice came from the village. At the entrance to the village, villagers were sticking out with crossbows.

    Did you smell it?

    ‘But what if there’s a backlash?’

    Juul tilted his head in this direction while holding the curved sword.

    I felt like I couldn’t understand the whole situation right now.

    It was quite a grand welcome ceremony.

    “I went there.”

    *

    “Grootslang settled in the mountain?”

    “Yes. If Shir had not noticed, the cows would have all died.”

    “There may be a need to patrol Namsan on a regular basis.”

    The priest didn’t say anything, but Juul and Heilang’s eyes were extremely murderous. What’s important is that it’s directed at me.

    Ask Shir.

    Ask Shir!

    “Sihyeon. You did a really good job. For those of us who rely on our sense of smell, we have a blind spot with Groots hiding in the ground.”

    I suddenly turned my head to the priest.

    “If it weren’t for Shir, I wouldn’t have even dared to do it. And───.”

    I looked at Juul, avoiding Heilang’s gaze that was staring intently into my eyes. I needed another topic to distract myself.

    “I think it would be good if Shir had his own personal sword.”

    “Gokdo? Why do you recommend a sword over a crossbow? I hope you can explain why I can understand it.”

    Perhaps because she is a mother, she reacts sensitively to her daughter’s stories. I wonder if I brought it up for no reason, but I thought it would be a good idea to let you know.

    “Shir dragged Grootslang with one hand. And since I didn’t have a weapon, I hit Grootslang with my fist. If I had a sturdy weapon, it wouldn’t have taken this long.”

    Heilang shakes his head.

    “Unless it is a fairly large creature, everything can be solved with a crossbow.”

    “You can’t cause instant death, right? A month ago, when climbing the mountain, Hueso, one of the village members, was almost killed by an ogre. Even though I hit the vital spot, I almost died after that. If it weren’t for me, you would have died.”

    Heilang stares at me.

    I was speechless because it was like looking at a child.

    “I will refer to your thoughts. And please know, it was Huso’s own fault due to his temper. If it had gone as originally planned, it couldn’t have happened that way.”

    ···I thought so.

    Why is Hyuso so angry despite being the child’s parent?

    It made no sense to attack such a large person.

    “Okay.”

    “You deserve to be praised for what you did, but Hae-soo’s rule is to come down to the village and report and then hunt together. Just be aware.”

    “I will engrave it.”

    It was a scolding tone.

    There’s no way I wouldn’t know that.

    That’s because it’s all shriveled up. But I couldn’t think like this while making eye contact with Heilang.

    Thanks to this, he was avoiding the gaze of the three hosots and lowering his head. At the same time, the sound of creaking hinges broke the silence.

    “Mom! Oh, Sihyeon is there too?”

    Shir smiled and opened the front door and entered.

    “···And, I feel sorry.”

    ···Did you know everything?

    “No.”

    “Huh? mom? Aunt?”

    “You·····.”

    Juul stands up, sticking out his fangs at Shir.

    Wow!

    However, the heilang got up faster, ran towards Shir, and struck his ear.

    “Shir! I’ve known you since you were talking in your sleep, but I never thought you’d be like this since your coming-of-age ceremony! ”

    Heukrang is considerate in its own way.

    Shir’s head turned to look at me blankly, and there was only confusion hidden in his eyes.

    ” I thought I wouldn’t get sick if I washed up──?! How can such a shallow number work??!”

    Shir, who was caught by the collar, received exactly ten more blows in that position. My eardrums burst and blood flowed out of my ears, my gums were touched and my eyes were bloodshot due to burst blood vessels.

    Blood is flowing from the nose.

    When Heilang let go of his hand, Shir fell down and looked at me. I was lost.

    I was afraid of the future and waved my hands.

    ‘I didn’t say a word. Really.’

    “I guess I’m an adult too! We also caught a very large sea animal! Great, my daughter has grown up so well?! Now, take your things and get out of the house!”

    As soon as I came in, I was hit without even hearing an explanation, so I guess I was upset. Venom began to creep up from Shir’s eyes, and he eventually glared at Heilang, who was glaring at him.

    “It’s good, but what should I do!”

    ······Why do you talk like that?

    Or is it possible to say something like that because the other person is a parent?

    Thanks to this, the atmosphere became harsh.

    “What do you say about what someone likes?! Young guys don’t listen and eat away! It’s a bad habit! Bad habits! You probably said that until the dust gathered in your ears, but why are you doing such a thing!!!”

    It is said that Lee Jong-ae violated the village rules before that. Now I finally understand.

    It is the last day of the hunting festival.

    I was anxious when the children who went on their first hunting trip did not return, and I heard that Shir had dragged me to Namsan.

    Naturally, I guess I realized what I had been through.

    “They say you should win love!”

    “You crazy bitch—!!! Is winning rape??!”

    Heilang gritted his teeth and lifted his collar again.

    chin.

    Juul grabbed Heilang’s hand and quietly stared at Shir. There is a sparkle in my eyes. That’s what Jules did when he was really angry.

    “Shir.”

    The tone is nothing short of flat.

    Nevertheless, Shir’s complexion hardened.

    “···Yes.”

    “Don’t speak to Sihyeon before she forgives. Don’t even think about approaching me. Don’t even think about raising your voice to those around you. Don’t even look at it.”

    “······.”

    “I think you understood what I meant.

    Sihyeon is not a slave. It is an honorary United Line. You trampled on one person’s human rights. If you disobey me, I will send you to prison. This is the minimum courtesy you can show since you are my brother’s daughter. If you were a stranger, you would be dead to me.”

    Shir trembles and looks at me.

    Shir must have had some thoughts of his own. Until Jules glared at me in anger.

    ‘I thought I was right.’

    When I think about it, it is a matriarchal society.

    Having power meant taking responsibility. It is a place where women are superior both socially and physically. I knew, but I didn’t know that Heilang would apologize to me.

    The priest was looking at Shir without saying a word. Hosot is not a hereditary system. They rise to the top through the votes of their tribe members, and as such, they must be sensitive to external opinions.

    I guess I should keep my mouth shut about today.

    “Let’s go.”

    “Yes.”

    I set out to learn, following in Jules’ footsteps.

    As Jules said, Shir did not look at me or talk to me.

    “Are you okay?”

    “It’s quick. Didn’t other people hear what I just said?”

    “No, I told you to listen.”

    What did I tell you to listen to?

    “Yes?”

    “The chief must be fair to everyone. As it is, what Shir did was something he would have nothing to say about even if he were expelled from the village. It’s a serious crime.”

    I don’t understand.

    Shir is the daughter of a chieftain.

    In that case, it is right to be sensitive to that.

    There is no way he could not have foreseen this situation.

    “Why did you do that to me?”

    If Shir had had an idea, he should have said something like leaving a time gap on the way back. If I had just behaved like that, I wouldn’t have become homeless. Why is that?

    “It’s my fault. I knew Shir liked you since I was little, but I thought you just needed a friend. I didn’t know it would blow up like this.”

    Perhaps a rumor will spread that Shir is heterosexual. Maybe my thoughts didn’t reach that point. Unknowingly, he came out to an unspecified number of people that he liked me.

    Was that your intention?

    But why would you need to come out if it would put you in a bad position? ····I don’t know.

    “Are you hungry?”

    “No.”

    “We need to distribute game. They say Groots is the guy you and Shir hunted together.”

    “I don’t like it because it feels like I’m campaigning. Jule will do it for you.”

    “···Even if I do it myself.”

    “Half of his nose is mine. Give it to Denis, Felix, Heinrich, Dberg, and anyone else who wants it. Juul eats the rest.”

    “···Yes. Go in and rest.”

    After about a week, forgive him with the implicit promise that you will not go to the hunting festival together after that.

    It’s true that I was definitely raped, but I don’t feel like it’s particularly shameful and that I want to commit suicide.

    “I’ll go in first.”
