After being saved, I spent the day like a rehabilitation treatment.

Actually, there was no need to do that, but it was mostly because Kylon kept his distance and watched me get better, so I couldn’t do anything. I still don’t understand why he was so worried.

Wounds heal anyway. If there are no wounds, there can be no scars. I don’t know if the aftereffects are mental or physical, but I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like that.

Just because you’re prepared doesn’t mean the pain will go away, but because you were prepared, there was no PTSD or anything like that left. Plus, unlike before, it not only saved me, but also eliminated the cause, so my heart felt lighter.

“Why do you keep telling me not to go out?”

But now it was the limit.

I guess I felt suffocated because I was prevented from going out. I wanted to walk around on my own feet, eat what I wanted to eat, and buy what I wanted, rather than living a life where I would buy things for myself if I asked.

After all, if a saint is not affiliated with a church, she is just a simple girl.

Kyleon scratched the ball and pointed out the window.

“They killed the king and it became chaos. They were looking for the culprit.”

“Huh… ?”

Oh, that’s right. Killing the king is a big problem.

“Well, even if the president dies, war will break out… ”

“Was it?”

“That’s why the world war happened, right?”

“I didn’t know… ”

“Oh, that could be possible.”

When I answered absentmindedly, Kylon waved his hand and changed the subject as if it was nothing. It seemed like he wanted to say that it wasn’t important.

I understand that it is a historical story, but unfortunately, since I do not have the background knowledge, I feel like I am incompetent for not understanding even when you tell me the key words.

All I know is stories about games.

Before I could even swallow the bitterness, Kylon grabbed his chin and started mumbling. I couldn’t hear him well, so I leaned my head forward and listened.

“I need to run away, but I’m worried about where to go… ”

“You still don’t know what you did?”

“I don’t think so. Since that happened while I was here and gone, they think I’m a prime suspect and are looking for me. It wouldn’t be strange if they put me on the wanted list right away, but I guess they can’t announce it yet because they’re afraid of causing confusion.”

“Then how did you know I was looking for it?”

“Ah, I saw soldiers coming over there checking faces, so I ran away.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud knock on the door.

“Uh, what? How did you know?”

“You didn’t chase me because you saw me running away?”

“Well, I ran hard, but this is a bit disappointing… ”

Kylon watched the door break down as if it was nothing. He really wasn’t thinking much of it, but he was startled by the sight of soldiers suddenly rushing in as if it was a crime.

Eek. I grabbed onto Kaylon’s clothes, too scared to open my mouth. He shook it off and turned around, wrapping his arms around my waist and running.

The sudden feeling of floating made his legs freeze. Despite his body being stiff from not being used to the feeling of not touching the ground, Kylon jumped over the window frame without any trouble.

“Eh. Eeee?!”

“Stay still. And relax your body.”

Kylon blurted out the words nonchalantly and ran forward without thinking.

When it got to this point, I realized that although it was like a game, unlike a game, I was acting freely. If it were a game, even if the king was gone, I would have acted as if there was a king.

The game where you can leisurely train your assistants and have sex with women on your way to defeating the Demon King has suddenly become a game where you have to kill the king and run away. I thought it was a erotic game, but it actually turned out to be something you would see in an action/thriller genre, so either way, it’s bound to be disconcerting.

“Heh, heh… ”

“I think I’ve gotten away with it… It’s definitely faster to run than to take a carriage.”

“My side hurts… ”

Kylon’s feet were certainly fast. His stride was so wide that it seemed as if he could run all the way to the village at the end in one breath if he let himself be carried.

But hanging with my waist wrapped around me was painful. My sunken waist felt like it was going to break, and my stiff body was left curled up and trapped in a dull state.

As he groaned and groaned, Kylon sat down on a nearby rock and began to think seriously.

“I guess I should start by taking care of this fucking country first?”

“What…? Why are you suddenly raising the difficulty… ”

I don’t want to say something cliche like, “Take care of that badge of warrior.”

People need to be people. Even if it’s a game, if you can’t leave this place, it’s only natural that you have to treat the people here as people.

What happens when those people judge us for our merits rather than for being warriors and saints?

“You can’t keep running away and living… ?”

“So you’re saying you’re going to uproot that sprout? You just have to get rid of the people chasing you.”

“No, that’s… is that how it is?”

I was speechless.

I wanted to say that I couldn’t live by running away, so I shouldn’t commit any more sins. It was obvious that the moment people turned their backs on me, I would have no place to go.

Kylon immediately took out his armor from his inventory, put it on, and grabbed his sword.

“Huh, huh?”

“I couldn’t help it earlier, but it’s easier this way.”

“Ah, wait a minute… ”

“It’s okay. After we solve this, let’s do something dirty like we did before.”

No, even if you say it so refreshingly…

Kylon sat me down in a corner where no one would come, told me to take care of myself, and ran off the same way he had come.

I think he didn’t even feel like fighting before because I was nearby. Now that I’m here, he’s saying he can swing his sword with ease, but no matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but wonder if that’s right.

Maybe I should just follow suit. If I start killing people in front of people, I’ll really have nowhere to go after that.

“Let’s go.”

Even if it’s a little slow, it’ll be fine as long as it’s not too late.

The place where I had been with Kylon until just a moment ago. As I reached the royal capital, the sound of crying could be heard from all over the place.

The surroundings were in ruins and the half-corpses lying around the man standing upright were creating a spectacle. The merchants were afraid of their property being destroyed and were unable to run away, so they just stuck their heads out, their gazes stinging.

“Kaillon… !”

“I didn’t kill you. I just made you unable to follow me.”

“If you act like this while showing off your bravery, the backlash will only grow. Let’s go back.”

“… I want to listen to everything you say. But I can’t go back, so there’s nothing I can do about it now. It’s not like we could just meet in the original world, and it’s not like the story ends with “I lived happily ever after after killing the Demon King.” ”

Kylon gripped the sword tighter, as if he had no intention of letting go. Kwak. A loud noise was heard from the hand that was wrapping around the hilt.

“If we have to live like this here, we will eventually have to change the environment. Just like we were helplessly tied to the environment.”

The moment I heard that, I couldn’t say anything and just kept my mouth shut.

People are inherently unable to escape their environment. No one can completely endure the pressure of an environment bigger than themselves. Usually, they get caught up in it.

But Kylon wasn’t like that. He had the strength to go against the current and not get caught up in it. That’s why he told me.

“Do you want to live happily with me for a long time?”

“… Yeah.”

Upon hearing that, Kylon smiled brightly and finished swinging his sword.

“I won’t kill you. You all have families. But don’t stop me, I’ll root out all those bastards in the palace.”

“In the end, you’re going to kill me.”

“They’re not like that.”

As he said that, Kylon wiped the blood off his sword. It didn’t just feel like a Japanese sword, but it was also strange to see him wipe the blood off with one hand while holding a large sword.

It felt like I could strangle someone with one hand.

“Let’s go.”

He glanced around. The warriors who had lost their will to fight were busy embracing their wounds, and the merchants around them were unable to step forward for such soldiers.

I, who was hesitating, grabbed the hem of Kaylon’s clothes.

“The medical facilities here are poor… ”

“What? No. Why would you do something like that? Even if you’re called a saint, you don’t have to act like one, right?”

“No, it’s just… It hurts my heart to see you in pain. It’s okay if you say you won’t fight, right?”

When I asked him with a pleading smile, Kylon sighed and looked at me quietly.

“If you say you’ll do what I want.”

There’s something secretly cute about the way he speaks bluntly. If it were before, I would have been scared and shook my head because I didn’t know what he would do, but now that we know each other’s feelings, I know he won’t do anything difficult, so I think it’s easy.

“Please take care of me then.”

I reluctantly grabbed the dagger that Kaylon offered me. Even though it was made of this much metal, it was heavy, and I felt anew how great Kaylon was.

These people were clutching their wounds and bleeding profusely. They weren’t really dead, but they looked like they would live a life of discomfort if they weren’t treated in time.

He went to the people in need first and cut their wrists.

“Uh… Huh?”

“Stay still.”

Pouring blood into someone’s original wound is crazy. You can tell just by looking at the expression on the person next to you.

He looked at me with a face of astonishment, but the expression on his face was a little different. He was amazed at my body healing its wounds with its enhanced regenerative power, as if it had been given an expensive elixir.

“This is, that… you are a sex… ”

“It’s better to stay still.”

When I brought my finger to my lips with a smile, the soldier who didn’t know what the gesture was shut his mouth.

After all the wounds were healed, I lightly wiped my wrist. There was a little blood left, but no wound. I gently turned the sword around, and Kaylon put it in his inventory.

“Why do you look so displeased…? Didn’t you want me to treat you?”

“No, why would you smile like that at a complete stranger? I wondered if there was a fox there.”

I saw Kylon grumbling, and I was so shocked that I elbowed him. Bang! The clear sound of the armor made me hold my elbow and shed tears.

“Huh.”

“Hey, why are you hitting an armored person with your bare hands? Are you okay?”

“Cold… ”

“This idiot.”

As he said that, Kylon quickly put on his armor. I punched Kylon in the side with my fist and turned his head around, and he hugged me from behind as if he was counterattacking.

“Caught. I have to go keep the promise I made earlier.”

“Huh…? Weren’t you going to Wangseong?”

“That’s that, and this is this.”

As he said that, Kylon picked me up and headed towards the inn far away. This time, I felt like I was really going to get attacked, so I became extremely nervous.
