Episode 121 Dark Clouds (5)
I stand awake for a mont and look ahead.
Misha also went back and there were two people in the room where no one thought there would be.
Misha and Erwen.
‘There’s no way the two of them know each other, so did Erwen co to visit and et by chance?’
As soon as I entered the room, as a habit, I analyzed cause and effect through the given circumstances.
But that was all.
Kwak Kwa Kwam-!
Unlike the damp outside air from the pouring rain, my small one-room room feels cool for so reason.
The room was full of questions.
‘what? Why is he so upset?’
We’ve been close together for months, and I can tell just by looking at their expressions.
Misha is very, very angry right now.
It is incomparable to the ti when I was caught eating all the at and secretly throwing away the carrots.
Seeing that even the hair on her tail is slightly swollen, she seems to be wary…
Strangely, Erwen is the sa.
‘……Is he really crying?’
I have tears in my eyes.
It’s not that I’m shedding tears, but should I say that I feel like I’m trying to hold back?
Rather than crying out of sadness, it’s more like an expression of enduring it with trembling in resentnt.
‘Did they even fight?’
Based on the information presented, I ca to a conclusion.
Apparently Erwen and Misha had a fight.
Well, I don’t know why either.
I don’t think either of you were the type to be so emotionally confrontational with soone you t for the first ti.
rattle.
As soon as I closed the door, Misha and Erwen’s eyes turned to at once.
Perhaps it was because of the sound of rain and thunder, but it seed that he only felt the presence of people after closing the door……
It was Misha who opened his mouth first.
“Oh, Bjorn is here? Here’s your guest.”
Misha grinned and greeted as usual.
For so reason, the eyes weren’t smiling at all.
And that was the mont.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa! Mister…!!”
Erwen pours out the tears she has been holding back and jumps at .
I dodged it with my reflexes.
Wasn’t that the picture I was thinking of?
Erwen, who landed with a balance like an agile character, asked while biting his lips.
“Is it because of that woman…?”
what is he
For so reason, the atmosphere seed to have changed a lot from the last ti I saw it, but…
well, how much ti has passed since then.
“Is it because of that woman?”
“Oh nothing!”
When I ask again, wondering if the two really had a great fight, Erwen flinched and shook his head.
After that, I glanced at one spot as if I was paying attention, and at the end of that gaze was Misha.
“Why did Bjorn co now?”
Misha, whose eyes t, approached with quick steps.
“You went out in a hurry and nothing happened, right?”
A voice mixed with a nasal that I can’t get used to at all.
I got goosebumps for so reason, but he answered my question once.
“No big deal. Charon was accused of being a looter, but I went and said a few words and it all ended well.”
“Hey, that’s right. You had a lot of trouble.”
Misha patted on the cheek as she said sothing lethal.
Normally, I would have tapped my forearm or back.
At this point, I had no choice but to ask.
“What the hell… why are you doing that?”
“Why is that? It’s a complint for a job well done. A barbarian can’t be considered a stranger.”
I involuntarily tilted my head.
Not only was that not what I was asking in the first place…
That answer itself is full of contradictions.
“Why? Barbarians and beasts are on good terms, aren’t they?”
……is it?
Well, I’d say it’s better than a fairy who’s an enemy.
“Here’s the towel!”
I was trying to say sothing more, but Misha jumped up and put a towel over my head.
“First, dry your hair. You’ll catch a cold.”
“Ah uh… that’s right.”
I was suspicious of sothing, but I wiped my hair and moved my gaze to Erwen. I’m a guest once, but I can’t just leave it unattended.
“Did Erwen visit you first?”
“Yes? Ah yes…”
When I said, Erwen shrugged and averted his eyes.
when to run
Did you feel the distance by avoiding that?
“Anyway, that’s great. I thought I’d visit you anyway—”
“Yeah? You were trying to find one?”
“……however?”
“Really? I’m glad. I thought you might have forgotten …”
I responded with a smile at the atmosphere that had changed after just a few words of conversation.
“It’s a colleague I t on my first labyrinth exploration, but I can’t forget it.”
“Isn’t that right? To say that it was only aningful to wasn’t it?”
huh?
Even though I felt a strange sense of incongruity, I was overwheld by Erwen’s earnest gaze and nodded.
“…Is that so?”
“Yes! It was like that, as expected!”
I don’t know what happened, but Erwen’s complexion suddenly brightened at my answer.
Social life should be about this, so I decided to ask what I was curious about.
“Anyway, it’s been a while. So how have you been?”
“? Are you curious about how I’ve been?”
“however……?”
“Then I’ll tell you!”
Soon after, Erwen recited nonstop the things that had happened during the parting like a bird chirping.
Most of them were stories related to the labyrinth.
Climb the floors with your sister, defeat monsters, and absorb new essences. Oh, did you usually lock yourself in your room and practice day and night?
“Look at this! Now I can handle all the four great spirits! Three of them have even finished blooming!”
“What? Three?”
“Yes! I worked really hard!”
To be honest, I was a bit surprised too.
No matter how much I grew up as if I was raising my sister’s sister, it was difficult to see it as an achievent achieved in a few months.
‘Is this a talent?’
It is different in many ways.
If I beca stronger with high-end essence and equipnt, this person is close to really developing his abilities through training.
‘It’s not even been a year, but it’s a bow fairy that succeeded in blooming with three attributes…’
This is definitely precious.
If all the four major attributes can bloom, ‘that’ will beco possible in the latter half.
‘If it wasn’t for Jeop-sister, I would have been able to put her in as a colleague.’
It’s a pity that I feel like I’ve lost so talent.
I just decided not to say anything stupid.
It’s not like he’s going to form a team right now anyway, and there’s no way he’ll abandon his family anyway.
“Anyway, it’s fortunate that I was busy with training. I thought I couldn’t co because I moved accommodations. Actually, it was ti for you to focus on growth rather than .”
“Oh, it’s not like that…”
“Yeah, Bjorn is right. If it’s not even a year old, should he start looking for his own way to live?”
Misha, who had been silently listening to the conversation, stood up and wrapped her arms around Erwen’s shoulders.
Then Erwen stiffened and—
“Yeah…”
He nodded weakly.
Is it because of my mood that I seem to notice Misha?
I suddenly rembered the atmosphere of the first ti I entered the room, so I belatedly asked.
“Oh, so what happened to you two while I was gone?”
Actually, it was sothing I was curious about from the beginning.
However, at my question, Misha naturally tilted her head.
It’s like you’ve been asked a strange question.
“Huh? Nothing happened?”
“Nothing happened? I thought the two of you were fighting—”
“Nyaha! There’s no way we’re fighting. How close we are. Right Erwen?”
“Yes Mr. Karlstein…….”
“What is Mr. Carlstein. Just call sister.”
“Your sister…….”
It looks like Iljin unnie is taking an innocent female student down an alley.
It seems like there’s definitely sothing, but…
as long as they keep their mouths shut, it’s hard to hear the answer they want just because they’re asking.
‘I’m going to find out what happened later……’
I passed the two and opened the window wide.
The sky where the dark clouds receded before I knew it. Sunlight shines and glistens on the wet streets.
Therefore, I issued an order to celebrate twenty thousand guests.
“The rain will stop. Now then, both of you, go out. I’m going to wash up and get so rest, too.”
For so reason, fatigue was creeping in.
***
After leaving the uncle’s room.
Erwen was in a difficult situation.
“Huh? Are you heading this way too?”
“Yeah, how about that?”
“Then go first. I’ll go a little later.”
It is the sa direction as the beast woman.
Well, fortunately, this woman didn’t seem to want to go with either…
“Then you go first. I’ll go later.”
“No. You go first.”
This is the biggest headache.
Are you leaving later?
how do you believe that
For so reason, as soon as he disappears, he seems to turn around and go to his room. From the looks of it, it was clear that this woman had the sa doubts as herself.
“Haa……”
Erwen and Misha sighed at the sa ti.
“Then shall we go together?”
“Yeah, that would be better.”
On the way back, there was only awkward silence.
No one talked to them first and they just focused on walking.
That’s natural.
He said that nothing happened to him, but it wasn’t really like that.
[well? Don’t you already know what that ans?]
Upon hearing that, Erwen felt as if a screw was coming loose from his head. My heart was beating like crazy and I couldn’t stand it any longer.
So, without realizing it, the words ca out.
[This naughty cat…!]
For the first ti in his life, he spat out swear words at others.
Even that was not enough, and when I ca to my senses, my hand was touching the dagger at my waist.
Then Erwen knew.
[I guess you have a problem with your head?]
If it wasn’t for that one word, it would have been after swinging the dagger that I would have co to my senses.
The beast woman was strong.
Not because of my mood, really.
A fairy with a naturally sensitive spirit can feel the spiritual power of others.
‘Twice as much as … maybe even three tis as much.’
There was a big difference in spiritual power.
It ans that more high-grade essences were absorbed. It could also be felt through the montum or posture of the exhalation.
The mont I realized this, I felt dizzy.
Mischa Karlstein.
this woman is the enemy
But you can’t fight and win.
That is to say, it will be taken away.
Sothing that was precious this ti as it was then.
yes it is stolen
Feelings separated from reason raged.
The mory of a certain mont engraved in his brain paralyzed Erwen’s thinking.
Buried in emotion, his mouth moved on its own.
[Please don’t take it away……. Please…….]
Miserable begging.
Sothing I would never have said if I was sane.
Those words flowed out one after another.
[What…?]
The beast woman, who had been staring at her coldly, opened her mouth as if she was dumbfounded.
Erwen also knew in his head how ugly and grotesque he would look now.
But…
I had myself who thought that if I could protect sothing precious, I could do even worse. No, he might have been on his knees and begged, pouring out tears.
rattle.
If it hadn’t been for the uncle’s arrival just in ti.
[Aaaaaang! Mister…!!]
Erwen shook his head as if to shake off his thoughts.
It was an embarrassing mory that I didn’t even want to think about.
For so reason, it is difficult to think rationally when the uncle is involved.
‘……She must have looked like a strange woman, right?’
Erwen glanced at Misha, blushing with sha.
She was now standing at a fork in the road.
“I’m over there now, where are you going?”
“Fortunately… it’s the other way around.”
“Umm, that’s right…”
The ti to break out of the awkward silence ca, but both of them stopped and looked at each other, unable to move their feet.
The first to speak was Misha.
“You… are you going to co tomorrow too?”
“By the way.”
“Haa… I’m really…”
Mischa touched her forehead as if she couldn’t believe she was in a situation like this.
It was the sa with Erwen that didn’t feel real.
Until I ran to this place, I was just thinking about eting and having a good laugh with Mr.
“Anyway, I’ll go. You go properly, too. Okay?”
“There……”
“Huh?”
Erwen grabbed Misha as she was heading to the other fork in the road.
I had sothing to say.
Although I really don’t like it.
“……Thank you.”
“Thank you…?”
“You didn’t tell the old man what happened earlier.”
“Did you pull out a knife and try to attack ?”
“Yes……”
Erwen lowered his head and Misha let out a big sigh.
“Okay, let’s make a promise.”
“A promise?”
“Even if he said he wouldn’t co anyway, he’ll co. So, I’ll keep it a secret from Bjorn when the two of us are together. That… you’re probably the sa as … but I don’t think I want to bother you with sothing like this. ”
“……great.”
“Then I’ll go. Do you really have to go ho properly?”
“yes.”
Soon after, Erwen separated from Misha and headed to the inn.
It was quite a distance, but it didn’t feel long, perhaps because it was so complicated in my head.
When I opened the door and entered, my sister greeted .
with an expression of concern.
“Erwen.”
“Sister…….”
Erwen collapsed into her sister’s arms.
“Did you et that person…?”
“Yeah. He really was alive.”
“Is that so…? That’s good.”
She pampered herself in her sister’s arms for a long ti, as if comforted.
And I got my heart together again.
“Unnie, I will beco stronger.”
“Being stronger…?”
“Yeah. What’s strange?”
“No, I don’t want to practice anymore…”
Erwen tilted his head at her sister’s aningful words.
Why did you stop training yourself?
Well, when I just found out that the old man was alive, the years spent training in my room felt aningless…
“I have soone I must defeat.”
Rather, Erwen felt a roaring desire more than before.
“So please help a lot in the future, sister.”
If you don’t want to be the one who gets stolen.
It’s enough to be the one who steals it.
