episode_0405

I found Sherry gnawing in front of the trap.

Cutely, I was tickling my fingers as if I could somehow dismantle the trap, but for no reason I felt mischievous.

‘cute.’

He was the smallest among the apprentice knights.

Although the height is average for a woman.

I hugged Sherry’s back.

“Aaagh!!!”

It’s not wide.

It reminds me of Edeline.

“Hello?”

Oh my!

Are you trying to stab me?

I grabbed Sherry’s wrist hard.

“Command. Did you get it?”

“It hurts!”

“So, what is the first command?”

“Ah! ah! ah! City, food procurement!”

Food procurement?

“Thank you, and goodbye.”

The training technicians didn’t just give orders to me.

This was consistent with the idea that my only purpose was to eliminate the apprentice knight.

Tap!

I put a dot on Sherry’s forehead.

“······!”

What I did next was simple.

Traps were set up on even the smallest amount of grass or deer droppings that could literally be ‘edible’.

Some dismantled traps or looted each other to find food.

There was even a case where they went a long way outside the principal to rescue them.

There were also people who risked their lives to hunt moving animals.

Hume went crazy from stress and even attacked me, but I didn’t have to deal with him.

At midnight, assistant technicians go out to look for apprentice technicians.

If there was pigment on it, they took it down to make them undergo hellish physical training.

Like right now.

“Hey. You really end up getting stabbed.”

“Do I have to die just because I get stabbed with a knife?”

Ali shook his head and walked away from me.

It seems like food comes out when you train your body.

Instead, just what you get from the mountains.

People who do physical training are probably eating something like bugs.

Okay!

‘Of course, it’s no different than me.’

It chewed and swallowed the larvae that had been caught and decapitated.

The mistake of people who don’t know how to eat bugs is not removing bug poop.

‘If you eat this, it’s delicious.’

Also, something happened that I couldn’t understand.

Someone who followed Ali and discovered my location was targeting my head.

─Isabel.

I am the only person whose presence I cannot find.

If you circle around an area in a large circle, a trace will appear.

With that thought, I started circling the mountain.

It was to identify Isabelle’s traces, and it was possible to find out that she was on a tree.

But how could Isabelle be following me?

‘This doesn’t make sense.’

Even Jules’ sense of smell can’t catch Isabelle.

In front of me, even those who have received the blessing of a servant who is nowhere to be found cannot hide.

I walked around in a large circle, pretending not to notice, and indifferently looked for traces with just my eyes.

Above the tree, under the tree, behind the rock…

Numerous traces are visible.

‘But I can’t see it.’

The location cannot be specified at all.

It’s such a perfect stomach that it gives me chills.

Could it be a basilisk?

“···Isabel, why are you following people around like that?”

Isabel was eliminated by me the most.

It’s because he attacked me recklessly.

This time, it seemed like he had made up his mind.

“Do you really want to train your body?”

You can’t make the first move.

Because I don’t know where it is.

‘Let’s act leisurely.’

One thing is certain: Isabelle is behind me.

If it wants to attack me, it will either do something like run or jump from a tree, and when it does that, it’s bound to make a sound.

‘There is no need to react first.’

Just keep your ears open and react when the other person enters.

After circling the mountain, I was about to return to the hideout I had made.

─Pause!

‘─Left?!’

You mean it’s already taken place to my left?!

I turned my gaze toward the sound, but there was nothing there.

Sigh!

uh?

Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

“Ah! ah! ah! Why are you stabbing me so persistently?!”

“I finally killed it!!!!”

A fierce roar of victory rang out like an animal, and in the midst of this, Isabel stuck a rubber dagger into my body like the perpetrator of a murder case.

Isabel appeared behind me as expected.

But the sound clearly came from the left.

‘How did they do it?’

That wasn’t all.

─There is no sound.

Of course, I taught it.

Even so, how can one learn secret techniques so quickly?

‘What on earth are you doing?’

This goes beyond the realm of talent.

“Die! I’m dying!”

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

“Ah! ah! Stop stabbing me!”

Even though I’m asking for it, it’s really funny how I look.

It’s like being run over and hacked to pieces by a woman under the moonlight.

Doesn’t it feel like he’s having an affair, ruining the woman’s life, and paying the price?

“······Isabel.”

“Yes.”

“I heard that you enlisted together with Jean.”

“That’s right.”

“So you are friends of the same age as Jean?”

Isabelle’s face, which had been happy, began to harden at just one word.

“Yes. Why are you curious about that?”

It’s sharp again.

What are you going to use as an excuse?

“Actually, I know Abel.”

“Yes, yes?!”

He looks quite surprised.

“We are not that close. It’s just that I haven’t seen you in a long time, so I’m just curious to see how you’re doing.”

“You were doing well the last time I saw you. Your wife also had a child and is taking anti-aging medication, so she is aging backwards.”

ah.

“···Thank you.”

Isabel, who had climbed on top, looked down at me with a smiling face, and then stood up on top of me.

“I thought you might not believe it.”

“Because Dewin is a person whose very existence is unbelievable.”

I have to protect Jean.

I can’t let the couple who lost their eldest son lose their next hope.

never.

“Let’s go down.”

“I’m going to steal everything I can eat.”

Isabel laughs mischievously.

A person who is full of maturity on the outside is said to be fresh again.

“See you in two days. From now on, I will not allow you to set foot on the mountain for more than an hour.”

“Have you tried it?”

Isabel, smiling seductively with the composure of a winner, walked towards my hiding place.

* * * * * *

“You finally collapsed!”

Susan was grinning like an animal and rolling her eyes.

Not only Susan, but most of the apprentice knights are trying to kill me.

“It is a detergent. Wipe it.”

“Thank you.”

I cleaned the armor with a special detergent given to me by the training director.

It cleans well.

When I simply washed off the pigment by running water with my body, I heard someone complaining.

“We cleaned everything by hand.”

‘Then why are you giving me the sanitizer?’

The head of the training center looked at me intently, and then he started walking somewhere, showing me a hint to follow him.

I had no choice but to walk after him.

How long did you walk?

The fire that had been lit in the camp completely disappeared from sight, but despite this, Director Yang continued to walk.

Why do you go this far just because you have something to say?

“I know that you saw Horus.”

“What are you talking about?”

“However, it is an iron rule to report in advance the fact that you have connections with key figures in the enemy country.”

A key figure from the enemy country?

I got goosebumps.

Could it be that Shir came to visit me?

Eventually, the place where the director of the training camp stopped was a shabby warehouse.

“Go in.”

···I can feel the presence of two people.

It was like a beast.

Who are the main figures of the enemy country in the first place?

Sur?

If it had been Shir, the training director would have been out of his mind.

If not, does it mean someone else?

I had no friends.

Of course, no one knew.

I like it─

The annoying sound of the hinge makes my heart race.

Sitting on a wooden box in the warehouse was a female elf I had never seen before.

As for the other person… why is there a presence but I can’t see it?

“Oh, the protagonist of this holy fight of passion has arrived.”

The elf sarcastically speaks in a deep voice.

It wasn’t ventriloquism.

“Who are you? Where is the other one?”

“As long as there are observers, I don’t think they will show up.”

─Basilisk.

As I slowly looked around, a vague outline began to emerge.

The guy was behind the elf.

Two arms were hugging the elf, and the other two arms were resting on the desk.

As if they were lovers.

“This is my first time seeing you.”

He was a noble elf.

Clothes, appearance, even voice.

Should I say it feels like seeing a real nobleman?

I feel like I’m on a different level from someone like me, and it’s annoying.

“My name is Callisto Luna.”

Luna?

Direct descendant of Yunaira Elf?

“I am Dwin Lee you were looking for. Do you have any business for me?”

“···First, I would like to apologize for the unfair trial.”

I got goosebumps.

They know my past life!

“Please don’t open your mouth about that matter or my personal history. There is someone observing.”

After warning, Callisto kept quiet.

The training director was making eye contact with the basilisk, which was transparent and should not have been seen.

“I don’t have any good memories of Yunaira’s elf. Just tell me what you want.”

“···My clan is being driven into battle.”

···My clan?

Why is Luna’s direct descendant?

“What does it mean?”

“My bloodline elves have the power to communicate with and manipulate animals. The White Wolf and her sisters are taking note of this and are trying to have us train sea creatures and participate in the war.”

I don’t know who gave the advice, but it’s an excellent choice.

To think of saving human lives and using the sea water that kills people by training it. Although it is unfortunate for the immediate family, it is a benefit for Yunaira as a whole.

“Is that so?”

Are you disappointed with the indifferent answer?

There was disappointment in the elf’s eyes. However, it is not revealed through facial expressions.

“Please help us.”

“I have no idea how I can help right now. And could you please explain what I would benefit from helping you?”

“To the white wolf…”

Do you want me to speak kindly to Shir?

I? Callisto, who was about to continue speaking, closed her mouth.

“···There is no solution or compensation, right?”

There is nothing I can do and there is no compensation.

I don’t want to do that.

In the first place, if this meeting itself becomes a reflection of personnel, it may not be possible to become a Royal Knight.

“I’ll just get up now.”

Just as I was about to leave the place.

“···This place is stomach-churning! Those two crazy bitches are still listening here and hearing everything!”

Are you saying you’re putting your ear behind a door somewhere?

I looked around, but there was no sign of anything special.

“That’s nonsense.”

The primary goal is to kill Harold.

‘That’s all.’

I stood up.

“To begin with, the white wolf has no sisters. Haven’t you read that book? ”

“Don’t you know that this is all your fault?”

“I don’t know what on earth is my fault.”

I opened the door to the warehouse and went out.

“You ignored my warning. And just as I warned, it came to destruction.”

···Peraku.

The basilisk that disappeared was Ceres’ agent.

“What on earth are you talking about earlier?”

dump!

···The positive intestine collapsed.

─Poison gas!

What kind of crazy bastard is this?!!

Boom!!!

I kicked down the door and ran out.

I pulled out the horn bow from my waist, quickly tightened the string, and took aim at the two bitches.

But they just stood still.

“We can’t lay a finger on you.”

Feraku, who appeared, just glared at me.

Both eyes are full of resentment.

‘What did I do?’

No matter how much I think about it, I have never sinned against them.

“Change location. Dantalian’s agent.”

First, we examined the benign small intestine.

Fortunately, Director Yang Yang was simply asleep.

First, I followed the two and walked out.

Because I had to find out who those ‘sisters’ were.

I walked for a while.

Soon a tree with a white rope tied to it appeared.

Going out here is desertion.

But those who went ahead were so unstoppable.

Eventually, after leaving the principal, I came face to face with an elf sitting on a tree stump, which was a good place to sit.

“Who are sisters?”

“That monster with the black spear.”

“I’m talking about the Centenary Knight.”

Black window?

A sneer appeared on Feraku’s face.

“I only met and dated the most vicious bitches. Do you know that thanks to you, the two enemies, who could eat each other, united all the demi-humans in the South and rose up to annihilate the North?”

Lexi and Shirga? How on earth? To what point of contact?

It couldn’t have been that way in the first place.

That person is a man who spent half of his life serving Drekkar.

But Seth said that Shir had kidnapped Lexi.

…What on earth are you two doing?!

“···I don’t know that fact.”

The corners of Feraku’s mouth began to rise.

“I don’t know. However, in those two years, with the legitimacy, justification, and power of the White Wolf, as well as capital and immortality from unknown sources, they have been recruiting those in power to unite all demi-humans.”

······It’s my money.

2.7 billion Zenarius is being used as military funds.

“Do you know that those two know your every move? You must be listening to this conversation right now.”

‘It’s impossible.’

My power tells you who is around you and where, even if you don’t see it. But it didn’t seem like Feraku was lying to me.

“···How is that possible?”

“This is a puppet show by Mercurius, who likes to watch passionate fights. Being the spouses of two agents, things are going very interesting.”

Spouses of two agents? Lexi? A passionate fight?

After understanding the situation, I burst out laughing.

Why, they told me to go south.

‘They say servants are people too.’

I never knew that the creator would enjoy morning dramas.

However, if Rexie truly became Mercurius’ agent, she could not have been brainwashed to achieve mental change.

─In other words, Lexi set foot in the South on her own.

‘why?’

A person who has been killing white wolves his whole life is next to the white wolf?

Human emotions are not that soft.

Even if there is no reason to hate once, it is the human heart to hate.

“I can’t meet you two, and I can’t guarantee that you will listen to my request.”

Without realizing it, my voice began to tremble.

Let’s calm down. Take a breath first.

“You can come to the south with us.”

“I refuse.”

“Do you feel no guilt towards your family and the innocent people of Yunaira, who were taken to the battlefield thanks to you?”

“It was not I who forced you into battle. Please submit your protest to the White Wolf and the Hundred Year Knight.”

“Please. Please say just one word.”

one word?

Are you telling me to go to Junaira?

I’m sorry, but I have work to do too.

“I belong to this body. You can’t get out of here.”

“Gong’s spouses are already listening to this conversation. You may not be able to hear the answer, but you may hear the Lord’s will and reconsider.”

Because Rexie became Mercurius’ agent.

So, in the end, I’m asking you to say something to Lexi and Shir, who are listening to everything from afar.

‘···Speak into the air?’

I understood what was being said, but there was no way I could become immersed if it suddenly happened like this.

“Are you listening?”

“Yes. I’m always listening.”

It’s an expression that asks you to please say something.

into the air. Speaking into the air…

One-sided verbal communication causes accidents in most situations.

‘What are you asking me to do?’

I wouldn’t know if I was alone, but there are two people watching with serious eyes.

No matter how hard I try, I can’t get into it.

It felt like I was being teased.

“Haa···.”

It’s not my fault, but as long as you say it, it’ll be okay.

This will be okay.

“Shir, I gave up my life to save you, and this is all you’re doing? Killing kids younger than you? Is this what people do?”

“If different species get involved, the only outcome is catastrophe. Moreover, the fact that you like me doesn’t mean you truly like me.”

“You were just made that way. So we can’t meet. I will never appear before you again.”

A child who reached out to me from the first time we met.

And a child who was made to like me.

“It is your heart to start a war, but I want you to watch over me until I kill the king. And after the enemy is gone, reconsider the war.”

It’s been like that from the beginning.

Shir was my friend and will always be my friend.

“Shii, I’m sorry. It would be right to say it face to face, but the situation is like this.”

I have nothing to say to this person.

They set up a house to live together, but at a time when they should have been devastated, they threw themselves into the enemy camp alone and died.

How absurd and heartbroken was I when I found out about my death?

“To Siyi, I thought I would remain a dead person. But it seems that wasn’t the case.”

“In fact, coming back from the dead makes no sense. I didn’t know I would come back. Shii probably didn’t know either.”

“When I returned to Bangora, I planned to leave quietly as long as Shii was living happily. When I saw the empty house, my heart broke.”

“Like Pera Ku said, if you had known in advance that I was alive, wouldn’t you have come to see me?”

“···It’s been such a long time. For Siyi and for me. ···I also have my own life. Shir and Shii must have their own lives.”

“I don’t know why we ended up together with Shir, but I want Shii to keep all the joint property. If you were really listening to my every move, I think you would know why I do this.”

People can obtain information and opinions from outside, but the final conclusion is absolutely subjective.

That is free will.

Therefore, we can recognize, understand, and respect that it is a personal decision.

I didn’t have that.

Because my life was completely taken away by Zur.

“The fact that Siyi liked me, the fact that Shir came to like me, and the fact that I liked them both did not come from free will.”

He was controlled by Jur and the servant.

Whether it was what the servant wanted or not.

It wasn’t my complete intention.

“Si. I was really sorry. I’m doing well.”

2.6 billion Zenarius would be enough as divorce alimony.

“···Stupid guy. You’re saying something that’s going to drive people crazy.”

Before I knew it, Feraku was glaring at me.

“Do you know why I can’t kidnap you and take you to Yunaira?”

“I don’t know.”

“Because those two women told you to respect your free will.”

“······.”

“I said you have a serious mental illness that is pathologically obsessed with free will. You were right. You are a psychopath.”

Am I mentally ill?

Fera Ku’s eyes are full of only despair, frustration, and anger.

“Did you two really do that?”

There would be no need for that.

If you wanted to meet me, you just had to come see me.

“Okay. You just said the wrong thing.”

“If a mentally ill person, not an ordinary person, says something like that, who would accept it?”

“Do you not know that life is a series of events big and small, bound and constrained? It would be the same for you now.”

If that is ‘fate’ then yes.

Title is not destiny.

Even if I tried to explain it, Feraku wouldn’t understand.

When he didn’t answer, Feraku’s expression became frowning.

“······Thank you for your help.”

Following Fera Ku, even Callisto stood up with a shocked look in her eyes.

You don’t know my life.

It’s inevitable to treat something you don’t understand as crazy, but it was an unwelcome look from someone who didn’t understand.

“I just don’t understand why the two losers from the South can’t live without you.”

Pera Ku sarcastically turns around.

Soon the two southern dignitaries disappeared into the green.
