Ambitious vision.

A woman stood proudly in the moonlight.

“Whew… I made it too flashy”

The black-haired woman patted his shoulder.

He sat on a ‘small hill of his own making’.

“Oh my. The moon is unusually pretty today”

The black-haired woman. Baldina smiled brightly.

I looked up at the sky.

A large, round full moon was shining golden.

“By the way, what should I do with this”

It’s also a good idea to take a break and breathe in the fresh night air.

Belated worries began to creep in.

That would be true.

Because the area around Valdena was completely scorched earth.

Being torn here and there, broken, and turned over.

This is truly the scene of a disaster.

Baldana, the center and the culprit, rubbed the tip of his nose with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“It’s still hard to control your strength”

She looked at the ‘little hill’ she had created.

A crooked shape with a bunch of lumps.

When viewed from a distance, it looks like a very large stone tomb.

Looking closely, its true form was made of torn flesh.

If a normal person had seen that bizarre and grotesque sight, they would have fainted.

Baldana wondered what to do about the disaster he had created.

“Should I burn it all”

No good, sharp numbers came to mind.

Baldana eventually decided to burn everything down.

He gathered firewood and scattered it around the masses.

“Oops, I almost forgot”

Before lighting the fire.

Something occurred to Baldana and he put his hand between the flesh.

After a few shakes, she soon pulled out a head the size of a watermelon.

“Kik. But you’re not a very filial son. I’ll send you back to your mother”

What she pulled out was the head of friendliness.

It was a truly horrible condition, with one side of the head sunken in and the eye socket ruptured.

“I hope your mother likes this”

They were crazy women with no sense of camaraderie, but they were still Olivier’s cherished subordinates and food(?).

If I receive this, I might go on a rampage and destroy the church.

Baldana burst into laughter at the thought of her glaring at him with her eyes wide open and cursing.

Baldena prepared a sack, put the head of Uhosung in it, and set the flesh on fire.

Flesh was burning, giving off a terrible smell.

Baldana was momentarily stunned as he looked at the burning corpses with black smoke.

Gulp-

“… I’m hungry”

Suddenly, I remembered Hild’s words telling me to eat and move around.

If Hild saw this, she’d call me a crazy bitch.

Only after the body has been completely burned and reduced to ashes

Baldina went down to the village.

“I wish there was rice left”

The boat is screaming for food.

Baldina walked through the village, clutching her hungry stomach.

“But it has changed… ”

Baldena muttered as she walked around the village before going to Hild’s house.

Suddenly, I remembered when I first came here.

A backward village with nothing.

If there is something suitable, get it, or if not, go to the place where you met Hild and picked it up as a symbol to loot.

That choice was the most important turning point in her life, next to becoming a warrior.

I really do a lot of bad things

I’ve done a lot of things I shouldn’t have done.

I was given an unintentional education by Hild.

After reflecting on herself, she returned to the village where Hild was.

Telling ridiculous lies,

He asked to be attached to this village.

Fortunately, the village needed a strong, courageous man who could lead.

Baldana willingly took up the role, taking the lead and working to develop and stabilize the village.

Rumors and techniques I heard over the shoulder while doing warrior things. Anyway, I did whatever was helpful.

Thanks to this, a sturdy fence was built on the outskirts of the village.

The townspeople gathered their strength to form a vigilante group. Recently, they were even pushing forward with a plan to trade with the city using local specialties such as potatoes.

All of this was thanks to Baldina’s hard work.

“… I’m so proud”

Even if you work hard in a tiny village,

There was no way anyone would know

Baldena felt as proud as when he first completed the warrior’s work.

At that time,

But back then…

Because I worked really hard.

Even though I walked quite slowly

Before I knew it, I had arrived in front of Hild’s house.

“Ugh… ”

Baldana frowned and headed for the back door.

Normally, Gerald and Anna would occasionally prepare a late-night snack.

But now that Hild was here, she felt a sense of fornication. She was filled with guilt and regret, and it was both welcome and uncomfortable to see Hild.

When Baldana put his hand slightly on the back door and tried to pull it,

“What are you doing instead of sleeping”

“Kiheung”

Hild’s voice was heard right next to me.

Baldana chewed her tongue and let out a grotesque scream(?).

“What was that weird sound just now? Did you make it?”

“Hey, Hild, what are you doing up at this hour without sleeping?”

Baldana asked with a red face.

Hild answered calmly.

“I can’t sleep”

“Oh, is it because it’s too bright? Or is it because it’s too noisy?”

“No, I just couldn’t sleep. Did you do something?”

Hild’s eyes narrowed for a moment.

Baldana waved her hand, startled by his gaze.

“No! No! I didn’t do anything!”

“Hmm, something’s suspicious?”

“Ji, it’s true. I won’t lie anymore! ”

“That’s a lie from the start”

“… Heeing”

The dead Baldina lowered her eyes sullenly.

There was silence for a brief moment.

…

Valdena found the silence a little difficult to bear.

“Hilde. I’m sorry”

“What? What kind of accident did you have?”

“No, that’s not it. I’m sorry for everything that happened before that…”

Hild didn’t answer.

Silence has fallen once again.

But fortunately it was shorter than the first one.

“A road was built”

“Huh?”

“There was no such thing when I was there”

“Ah, you mean the main road in the center? I guess it would be better to have it there if carriages and such are going to be running later… ”

Hild nodded.

“Well, that’s true. The carriage is nice to ride. You even got the potato chip recipe, right?”

“That’s not like he saved me, he just threatened… no, he persuaded someone he knew to help him”

“I see that most of the men are carrying swords. Did you teach them?”

“I didn’t teach you. I just taught you the basics. I’m not fit to be a teacher”

“You’re not a good teacher. You’re a warrior who made a name for yourself with the sword”

“, thank you”

Baldena twisted her body, not knowing what to do, at the thoughtless compliment from Hild.

What should I do in this situation?

What should I say, what expression should I make?

Hild chuckled as she watched Baldana writhing around alone.

I saw that Valdena was broken like that

I guess the correction I did that day was really effective.

“Tell my father I said thank you”

“Huh?”

“Your mother also said that you worked hard and that she was happy because she could sleep peacefully thanks to you”

“Ah, no, I… I just… ”

“I am grateful too. As a child”

“Yeah”

My heart was pounding.

Just a word of thanks.

Why is my heart thumping so much?

Baldena couldn’t look Hild in the eye.

I was so nervous that I thought I would faint if I looked into his eyes.

“You didn’t eat, did you?”

“Huh? Hey, you mean rice? I ate it”

“You say you won’t lie, but you are lying?”

“I really did. I really ate it”

Watching Baldena rambling on, Hild went inside for a moment and came out with a plate covered with a cloth.

“Eat this”

“What is this?”

“It’s a rice ball”

Hild took off the bundle.

There were three deliciously folded rice balls sitting there.

Gulp-

Baldana swallowed.

“Didn’t you say you ate it? I’m fine”

“Each is tuna mayo. Kimchi pork, ham vegetable flavor. Mom and Charles put all their effort into making it, so it’ll be delicious”

Tuna mayo? Kimchi pork? Ham and vegetables?

What is that? What is that thing that looks delicious just by its name?

Baldana reached out for the rice ball as if possessed.

Then he came to his senses and hit me hard in the face.

Taaak-!

“Mi, what are you doing, you crazy bitch?”

“I’m okay. Really”

Baldina opened her eyes wide and shook her head violently.

“Hey, really”

Why are you being so stubborn in a place like this? You’re so foolish.

“Eat it. You look hungry. Even if you’re a warrior, you have to eat to live”

“Okay, it’s okay… ”

“Are you really okay?”

“It’s really okay”

Hmm- Hild, who had been hanging on to the end, picked up the plate and came up to Baldena’s nose.

At first glance, the rice seemed to be warm, indicating that Hild had kept it so that she could eat it while it was still warm.

The unique, savory and sweet smell of rice rose with the warmth.

Baldana unconsciously wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

“I’ll really ask you three times for the last time. Nothing more”

“Three times… ”

“Eat rice”

“Okay! It’s okay!”

“Second. Eat”

“Really okay… ”

“Now if you refuse, there’s nothing left. Eat. Baldena”

“… ”

Valdena was silent for a moment.

She avoided his gaze, her eyes darting around.

“Ah, I guess you’re sincere. But wouldn’t it be rude to keep rejecting me?”

Baldana said and secretly took the plate.

“Phuheup”

“Ah, no, I was thinking of sincerity… ”

“Okay, eat it with sincerity in mind. I brought you some water too. Be careful not to get sick”

“, thank you”

Baldana, with his head bowed, sat at an outdoor table and gently squeezed a rice ball.

“Why are you eating outside instead of inside?”

“Aren’t you all sleeping? What if you wake up”

“Okay, do whatever you want”

Hild opened the front door.

“Valdena”

“… Huh?”

Uhm, well then.

“Thank you for your hard work. It looks good now”

Hild went inside.

I stare blankly at the spot where he disappeared.

I took a big bite of the rice ball.

Is this tuna mayo flavor?

“Yeah, it’s delicious”

The night deepened
