episode_0520

Suddenly! Grrr!

“Keuugh…?!”

My intestines are pouring out like they have exploded.

I knew it would be like this.

So, I pretended to be as embarrassed as possible, stepped back, fell, and crawled.

“···Rita?! No, it’s you.”

I glared at him venomously.

However, Mana Rita skillfully began to open the lock with a wire.

My intestines, which had burst out, slurped back into my stomach as if I was inhaling noodles.

“I expected that this was all your fault.”

I went to Rita.

I could see him slowly withdrawing his dagger, but it didn’t matter.

Because I was going to give up an arm or a stab wound.

When I got that close.

“Kyaak─?!”

Rita attacks me like an animal.

The dagger cut my outstretched arm.

At the same time, the other arm grabs my leg and tries to subdue it.

puck!

I gave up my arm and stomped on Rita’s hand that was aiming for her foot.

Okay—!

In an instant, Rita’s hand bones were shattered.

“Aaaagh──?!”

Rita swung her sword like a child, but everyone caught it and overpowered her.

The hands that should have been tattered with defense marks are already neatly attached.

I overpowered Rita and took the weapon away from her and kicked her.

“You can’t kill me, and even if you do, I will come back.”

“······Monster!”

“Let’s just talk instead of doing something violent like this.”

I laughed at the hallucination behind Rita’s eyes and pulled up a chair and sat down.

“Do you remember what I said? If you love someone, you should be able to say the words you wrote for them.”

Now I plan to throw the bait again.

“As you know, I have died. Do you know what happens to people after they die?”

Rita wasn’t concentrating on the conversation, but the hallucination behind her must have been different.

“It comes back to life. My memories of my past life have been erased. That’s why I don’t have a hand in murder. You can’t enlighten everyone, so you can give them new life.”

That justified my murder.

Of course, that wasn’t something that could be justified.

Rita’s excited expression subsided.

“We know that too.”

The main body was revealed.

The Grand Duke Widow also seemed to have some insight into the whole story of reincarnation.

They also probably take death lightly, saying, ‘If I die, I’ll live in the next life!’

‘Because I did that too.’

However, my thoughts as someone who has brought death to others are different.

“But try to approach it philosophically. That’s not you.”

“The next life is a perfect stranger.”

“Love, children, thoughts, wisdom, blessings… Everything you have achieved will eventually disappear.”

“Even if you are reincarnated, you are ultimately mortal.”

“Moreover, I was reincarnated as a termite. Before the servant turned me back into a human, I had no intelligence.”

There was nothing on Rita’s face.

Like a corpse.

‘It’s working well.’

When people are stressed, their expressions disappear and their eyes narrow.

I don’t know how many fantasy novels of this type I read when I was young.

I remembered the lines of the ‘absolutes’ that appeared a lot there.

“When you die, you will forget the Grand Duke Widow, and the Grand Duke Widow will forget you when he dies.”

“From my point of view as an immortal, you are like annual insects.”

I looked at them arrogantly and pitifully.

“I feel sympathy for the bugs that will freeze to death when winter comes.”

“Even though we are only small creatures, don’t we live hard?”

“People tend to show mercy in their footsteps to count the bugs.”

“But it’s a different story if a bug suddenly flies into your face or interferes with your farming.”

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the hallucination.

“That’s a pest.”

“Of course, the bugs just lived as they were given.”

“But what farmer would just watch bugs coming in and out of his granary?”

“···You’re arrogant.”

It made me happy to see that he was arrogant.

It seemed like he was acting well.

“Of course, I’m not saying you are bugs.”

I waved my hand and rolled my eyes with laughter.

“To compare… you are rats.”

“The problem with rats is pollution.”

“Mold grows in the urine and feces contaminated by rats, and they gnaw on trees and sacks.”

“The point is that it bothers people.”

He smiled brightly with an expression filled with disgust.

“Of course, rats and bugs also have a story.”

“Farmers will still consider bugs to be bugs. But rats are disgusting.”

“Tread everything you see to death, and release hunting dogs to exterminate the seeds.”

I glared at the talking rats.

“Actually, I wish you would all disappear. I don’t even want to worry about it.”

Funny enough, I can see hope on their faces.

It is learned through memories of reading people’s emotions.

“But not the widow Grand Duke.”

“···You are the one who started this.”

“Me?”

He clicked his tongue and laughed.

Because there was no bullshit like this.

“The Grand Duke of Widow kept quiet when his son drove a stake into the saint’s heart, but when his son died, he became angry at me.”

Their members are also human.

If so, you probably remember clearly what the Black Death is.

“Do not insult the Grand Duke.”

I shook my head lazily at them.

“What’s more, they’re trying to brainwash you and the man to death and offer your souls to Dantalian to win their favor.”

“This is about implementing justice. 애초에 쥐새끼는 그년밖에 없었다고요!”

“Even the trouble you guys are causing is ultimately her fault.”

Rita’s eyebrows furrowed.

All men are the same.

No matter how strong the person you are arguing with is, if they cross a line, they will react.

“Assuming the person does not die, the methods of torture become very diverse.”

“You can put it whole in the mill and grind or grind it all day long.”

“I will capture that bitch, make her immortal, and kill her thousands of times every day.”

─Ask.

“You guys will catch that bitch, take a peek at her memories, and come see her quickly.”

“From now on, if you remove the enlightenment given by the current Dantalian’s widow, you are not even bugs.”

“Once the brainwashing is lifted, you will quickly find your own life.”

And show me what you have.

I looked at Rita with sympathetic eyes.

“If you die and are to be reborn as a human being, you will be reincarnated as an insect or an animal for at least 10,000 years.”

“Don’t waste your present, every day is precious.”

“I will come to save you soon.”

Just as I was about to get up from the chair.

Rita started giggling and laughing.

“Hahaha…! Ahahahahaha───!”

“Is the situation you are in interesting?”

“Are we bugs? no! We are poisonous snakes!”

Rita shook off her smile and glared at me fiercely.

“It looks like this gal who stuck with your uncle is close with your younger siblings!”

─I asked.

‘But you stuck with your uncle?’

I silently looked at him with my eyes slightly wide open.

─That Alex?

When I came to my senses, I saw Rita smiling brightly.

It seemed like he interpreted my surprise in a different way.

“Stupidly, the assassin exchanged a greeting letter! There was an address written in that greeting letter!”

“···You’re talking shit. Did you think I would care about kids whose faces I can’t even remember?”

“Is that so? If so, let me kill you.”

I glared at Rita fiercely.

“Ahahahaha───!”

Rita giggled and laughed at me for a long time.

How much did you laugh like that?

Rita, who was tired from laughing, looked up at me subtly.

“We are holding something precious to each other.”

“···So let’s do it like this.”

“I will leave with you, Grand Duke, and never appear before your eyes again.”

“You just have to have a happy reunion with your younger brother.”

I glanced at Rita with narrowed eyes and an expressionless expression.

“···Are Stella and Damian married?”

“Yes! I did! The two families are getting closer to collapse thanks to the missing mother and father!”

“Did you also touch their families?”

“No. There is no use in looking for it. Because everyone around them has forgotten them.”

At least I felt a sense of relief.

“···I haven’t caught the Grand Duke Widow yet.”

Rita gestured at the nobles locked in the iron cage.

“If you are looking for it, please contact us through them. I warn you, never touch the Archduke.”

“···You guys should know this. I don’t leave rats alive.”

Rita’s expression was tense due to the false warning.

“Wherever I am, the moment I see even a single hair on you, I will find you and kill you all.”

“I understand that you have accepted it.”

The expression disappears from Rita’s face.

Just for a moment.

Toaduk… Toaduk… Toaduk…

Rita looked up at me with her eyes wide open and tears streaming down her face.

“Is it my fault…?”

“No.”

Despite my immediate denial, Rita’s face frowns and tears flow.

“It’s my fault…! Alex told me not to contact you…!”

I had to comfort Rita for a long time as she started to cry.

* * * * * *

“The story went well.”

“Really?”

Edeline and Sir were looking at Rita with uncomfortable expressions.

“···Isn’t that what I think?”

“Don’t think strange thoughts.”

“Isn’t that a strange thing you said?”

Of course I had nothing to say.

Shir boldly hugged me in front of Rita and asked me harshly.

The eyes are still staring at Rita.

Rita trembled and lowered her eyes.

“What did you say to your uncle?”

“I didn’t say anything. Because I came out alone like I was possessed.”

I’m rather glad.

He cares about his people as much as I do.

If Alex finds out about this, things will quickly get worse.

“Don’t go back. Because if I do that, my uncle might kill me.”

“······!”

“I’ll make up excuses for you, so just take a break.”

Now I also have to think about what to do.

“But what does it mean that the story went well?”

“I knew from the beginning that the two of you were kidnapped.”

“···What?”

“That you were brainwashed. It’s all acting.”

Rita looks at me blankly.

“···That’s acting?”

“Yes.”

I left the stunned Rita behind and looked at Shir.

It looks like he has no intention of falling.

I picked up Shir, who was biting me, and sat down next to Edeline.

“Why on earth is he like this?”

Edeline glanced at Sur, who was chewing on me.

“Do you know that the hosot smells the soul?”

“Yes. Because of that, I had to manage it a lot.”

Even now, I can’t breathe just thinking about that time.

“Even a very small amount of other people’s body odor can cause emotional or physical changes in the host.”

Shir is pinching me.

Edeline glanced at Shir, then looked at me.

“The smell of the soul is ultimately a smell. It vaporizes and spreads like sweat.”

In other words, it means pheromone.

“But why eat it?”

Shir bit me and shook his head.

“Animals are extremely sensitive to this smell, but if they chew the flesh containing the smell before it vaporizes, the raw liquid of the smell flows out.”

“This is why you put your nose to the skin and smell it.”

“Furthermore, Ain’s sense of smell is more sensitive.”

It was like that.

When I first went to Root Village, the taster even tried to smell the dragonia’s perfume by putting it in his mouth.

“To quote my colleague Horsot Dragonia, who studied this, it is called ‘the feeling of becoming one’ with the other person.”

“That is why some hosots choose the funeral culture of eating the deceased.”

So, what I’m saying is that you don’t eat because you really want to.

I want to become one.

‘Isn’t that what it is?’

Both physically and lexically.

Shir showed his desire to become one with me by chewing on my flesh.

Jureuk─

Continually licking the blood flowing from the affected area.

“···Some go on from here and reach the perversion card.”

“For those who do not know this structure, eating meals feels like a spiritual experience.”

“But most of the time it involves biting and squeezing out the sweat glands. If even the flesh is eaten like this, the condition is serious.”

Edeline looked at Shir coldly.

“I heard so?”

Shir, who received Edeline’s gaze, looks up at me curtly.

‘It’s against the law to look at me like that.’

It’s so cute I can’t help it.

I pressed down on Shir’s head and held it close to his neck.

“Still. A person must have one or two flaws to be human. Isn’t that right?”

“······That’s right.”

“There is a proverb like this in Hosot. They say married couples smell the same.”

However, the scary thing is that I recognized this fact.

And the two people who are listening to this story are not that simple.

Sigh!

Shir, who plunged the blood sword into my heart, began to lust after me violently.

However, it seems that this scene was too difficult for Rita to understand.

“Mi, are you crazy…?”

“I’m not crazy, but I hear this often.”

Shir begins to wiggle his hands excitedly.

His anxious body pressed against me and somehow dug deep and adhered to me.

It was a bit embarrassing.

“We’re not really like this! Why is he like this in front of people…?!”

“The feeling of becoming one may be interpreted differently depending on the other person.”

“Sihyeonaaaa…♡”

His dilated pupils were trembling, and his cheeks were flushed as if he were drunk.

Even though he is smiling brightly, his clear eyes are making a direct request.

─Let’s do it right away.

I can’t refuse. The taste was too good for that.

So much so that if I refuse now, I will remember it for years to come.

‘I was wondering why on earth you get so excited after eating me.’

Metaphorically and lexically, we were eating at the same time.

I had no choice but to head to the bedroom with Shir in my arms.

“Rita, you can rest here. Edeline, I’m sorry. This is what the kid looks like. Is it okay?”

“It’s okay.”

“Yes. See you tomorrow──Ugh?!”

Shir covers my mouth and burns.

The eyes are bright.

Rita ran away from me as I headed toward the bedroom.

Even I would run away if a woman kissed me with a knife in my heart.

I had to step into the bedroom with such a crazy woman in my arms.

“Kyaaa~♡?!”

“You should really get scolded today.”

Shir, thrown on the bed, makes a fuss and tempts me with a coquettish attitude.

The appearance is so beautiful that my anger subsides.

I felt like I had been deceived by a sly fox.

‘This scandalous supporter.’

So, on the bed, let’s scold him for being deceived.
