Episode 362 Interrogation (4)
Arua Raven turned his back again.
Even the mont I took my eyes off him, the man was looking at .
With eyes that are so lonely yet pitiful.
“…….”
Feeling like a sharp object is digging into the inside.
‘Why are you looking at like that… I’m the one who was betrayed…’
Evil spirits are the ones who deceive the whole world.
I learned that from a young age and saw countless cases like that as I grew up.
You saved because I was dangerous?
‘…It can’t be that……’
He shook his head.
As if turning away from the cry in your heart and engraving it in your head as the answer.
The man just said sothing he wanted to believe.
There must have been other ulterior motives.
Don’t be fooled here.
Thinking so, he takes a heavy step.
Turbuck.
Every ti I took a step, the monts of exploring with him passed by like a kaleidoscope.
The beginning is the bloody citadel where he first t.
[What the hell is that guy! Why are vampires in a place like this……]
[Run at the ti of whining, Dwarves.]
A vampire that appeared as a guardian in the crack on the 1st floor.
The man naturally led the crowd and, literally, threw himself into a struggle and finally won.
But…
‘The holy water I used at the end… I must have known it because it was actually an evil spirit.’
In the end, it is like this.
If you look at each one, you will find yourself being deceived and deceived on the back of your precious mories.
How stupid and easy I must have looked to that man.
Turbuck.
Of course, as a result, he owed his life to that man in the Bloody Citadel.
However, Raven judged calmly.
‘…But it’s not like they sacrificed themselves to save us.’
Otherwise, he would have died too.
So the man risked his life and fought.
Turbuck.
The next scene that ca to my mind was when I was trapped in the crystal cave on the first floor.
A hopeless situation in which knights and large clans used us as discards and escaped through a portal.
The day that man beca the city’s hero.
[Then what are you talking about!]
[Speaking again—! Everyone stop—!!]
The man honestly conveyed his voice, and the explorers who were pointing their swords at each other gathered their strength.
And the breakthrough started.
[I’m going crazy.]
[I can’t go any more. I’m sorry.]
The man advanced even as the warriors who had crossed the line of death collapsed and lost the strength to move forward.
[Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaa!!]
The man took on the most dangerous mission in the most dangerous place and fought more desperately than anyone else.
But Raven judged.
‘That’s also… that’s why you live too…… that’s why it’s just like that……’
He took a step.
Turbuck.
Every ti I took a step away from the barbed wire, the things that happened with that man. To be precise, it reminds of the big and small help I received from him.
Every ti Raven thought.
‘Because this isn’t that difficult.’
‘It wasn’t until I risked my life.’
‘…If it’s that much help, I’ll give it a lot.’
Most of it was sothing that could be skipped over and over again.
But…
[No way… Did you co all this way because of ? Through that fla?]
[I was taking a walk.]
What happened on the day the imperial capital was burned.
[What are you doing? I want to take this whole boat …?]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhis
and rescue your colleagues first.
And it happened just a while ago.
[You… your back…!]
Even the act of blocking the magic that was shooting at her with your whole body.
‘But… you said it was for yourself…?’
Raven was able to find it before long.
I tried to deny myself, but it beca increasingly difficult to do so.
‘It can’t be… it can’t be……’
I rember it clearly even though it was an urgent situation.
The man struggled in pain to the extent that the veins stood on the neck pole, but he held on carefully, hugging him so as not to injure himself under it.
There was no point in deceiving yourself any longer.
I tried to deny it several tis, but
[Raven, you were dangerous. So I asked for it.]
Those words were unmistakably true.
***
Aweso.
Beyond the iron bars, the door on the other side of the aisle closes.
“He’s gone.”
“Yes……”
Raven finally left.
The expectation that he will co back and open the iron gate ans that we must now abandon—
“The Devil.”
huh?
Looking to the side, I see Erwen with her head down and her gaze fixed on .
“…was it a demon?”
Yeah, I said why are you still?
I guess I was shocked by this too.
Well, from his point of view, he might be angry.
It would look like I didn’t tell you because I didn’t trust myself.
“Erwen calm down. Explain everything—”
“I knew this woman, but I didn’t.”
“I an—”
“I said I could understand everything. I did…!! Why did you only fool ! You don’t trust ? How am I going to believe you?”
Oh, I don’t think this is the first ti I’ve been so upset…
I looked sideways at Alia, hoping for help, but Alia just shrugged her shoulders and averted her gaze.
It’s my karma, so you’re telling to take care of it?
‘It’s fortunate though… I guess it’s because they don’t seem to really care about being a demon…….’
Is it because I just saw Raven with my own two eyes, who couldn’t accept that she was a demon and left?
On the one hand, I feel dizzy at Erwen’s life-threatening appearance, but on the other hand, I feel relieved and grateful.
Well, that’s that, and this is this.
‘How can I calm down…’
It didn’t take long to worry.
“What is that woman, Raven! Even though she kept it so thoroughly hidden from !
Took.
“……?”
Erwen snatched his wrist before he had more seizures.
And…
“Erwen would have acted the sa way if you were there.”
I said it with all my heart.
Well, if it were Erwen rather than Raven, I would have done the sa thing.
Was it hard to believe easily?
“That’s a lie… you didn’t tell beforehand… you thought she was more trustworthy than .”
“What……? Why are you thinking like that?”
“Yeah… Because I’m like this… Because I only ate those essences… I’m treated like a crazy bitch…” I
didn’t know I was thinking that in my heart.
Apparently, Erwen himself thought a lot about his condition and felt a sense of sha…
“Erwen, that’s not true.”
“Then… why did you keep it only from …”
After that, you said you would explain.
I sighed inwardly and said.
“Because I wanted to protect you.”
For so reason, the answer ca from Alia’s mouth.
“Recycling makes sense.”
what is he
As I looked at Erwen, ignoring it roughly, a reaction ca out after a short period of ti.
“……Uh yes?”
Shoulders flinch and tremble after a ti difference.
“ ?”
Okay, the voice seems to have cald down a bit now…….
I hurriedly continued my explanation in case I misunderstood sothing on my own again.
“You saw it too. Raven questioned Alia.”
Even if there is a gift of Auril Gavis, it cannot be prevented from being applied in such a way.
So, I wanted to reduce the number of people I knew as much as possible.
Of course, this was also for myself, but it wasn’t a decision I made purely for myself.
“I wanted to make a corner for you to escape if one day I was in trouble because of my being an evil spirit.
“…….”
“So you’re saying that Rain Wales cared for more than that woman…? I only hid it from myself on purpose. To… protect … .”
“Uh…”
I shifted my gaze to Alia involuntarily.
Then Alia smiled and nodded as if she was worried about sothing.
It’s okay for him, so he seems to have to start with the probation…
After that, how reliable he is.
“Yes, that’s why I hid it from you.”
“…Yeah!”
Soon after, I said sothing positive, and Erwen clenched his fists in great joy.
Then, as if to show off, he straightened his shoulders and stared at one spot, then raised the corner of his mouth.
It was where Alia was.
“…That pisses off a bit.”
Alia frowned, but Erwen didn’t care and turned her attention back to .
“I’m grateful for your feelings, Mister… but don’t do that again. I wouldn’t want that to happen to leaving you alone and leaving alone, right?”
Saying that, Erwen glanced over the barbed wire where Raven had left.
“Because I’m different from that woman who has been saved many tis and doesn’t know grace.”
uh so…?
“So just trust ! OK?”
“Okay…”
After the rough tidying up, Alia, who had been watching, interrupted the conversation and changed the subject.
“Rather than that, what are we going to do now?”
Oh, that……
I need to prepare soon.
“First, pack your luggage.”
“load?”
“You can’t leave your equipnt behind, can you?”
I went to the place where I collected the loot items from the lighthouse keeper and crouched down. Then, after gathering the equipnt in a wide-open robe, he wrapped it like a bundle, tied it up, and wrapped it around his neck to tie it well.
It’s called the Barbarian Pedestrian Mode.
Just in case you didn’t know, I thought I’d keep it like this and put it in the subspace when I got a chance.
“If you’ve got everything, tell . What are you going to do now? You must have planned sothing.”
Soon after, Alia asked again, and I shared a plan B that I had only organized in my mind.
I waited patiently until the ti ca.
how much ti had passed
rattle.
The doorknob at the end of the hallway turned and opened slowly with a squeaking sound.
And…….
Took.
Raven, who had left, showed up again.
without anyone accompany them.
“Alone.”
“What kind of plan is this… By this ti, you should have already reported to the higher ups.”
Alia and Erwen stared out of the cage holding their weapons as if on alert.
At this, the approaching Raven frightened and stopped.
“Why did you co alone?”
Raven gave a small answer to my question. ”
I’m going to check.”
Conversation from about 7 ters away. Maybe
because of the voice echoing in the aisle, the sense of distance is all the more real.
But…….
“What?”
Raven didn’t answer my question.
It just stopped. As the distance between Raven and the cage was shortened,
the
expression hidden in the darkness beca clearer. A
complex expression that cannot be determined by any single emotion.
There is only one thing “…Couldn’t you have reported it?”
I
asked for confirmation, and Raven responded with silence this ti as well.
Tumbling,
walking without stopping.
Until a single barred barricade was placed between them. It didn’t take a long ti.
“…….”
“…….”
Raven peered at through the cage with clear blue eyes, and I also looked at him without saying another word.
How long had it passed since then? Knock.
Chuck.
Raven silently took out the key from her bosom.
What kind of change of heart had there been?
Apparently, until just a while ago, the walls of my heart were firmly closed, and whatever I said didn’t work
. ?’
It’s a plausible reasoning.
Our combat power must have been reported. If
we beca enemies on the ship, we could be in trouble, so they might pretend to help right now and arrest us in the city. That’s why…
”
.. “Why are you doing this all
of a sudden?” I asked straight away.
“What you’re about to do now is, like you said, betraying everyone who follows you.” Even as I
asked, I focused on Raven’s eyes.
Tell the truth or lie. No matter what I said, I thought it would be obvious if he had no talent for acting, but…
Raven just laughed at my actions. “Why
are you
laughing…?”
Rather, it was a self-deprecating laugh tinged with bitterness.
If so, what is the reason?
“I just wanted the situation to be similar to before.”
Huh?
“If I hadn’t known that Mr. Yandel was an evil spirit, I wouldn’t have asked that question.
” …….”
I was speechless for a mont.
However, Raven did not hesitate to act, as if he had already finished organizing everything and ca back
.
The key
went into the lock. “I think my answer is
the
sa .
”
”
“So I decided to help for now. I don’t care about the aftermath.”
“So…”
The key turned with a clang sound.
And…….
“Co out quickly. I have to listen.”
The door that had been firmly closed opened.
