Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 225
◈ 225. [STAGE 9] Arrow leaving the protest
chin!
[Kureha caught Damian's hand reaching out to hold [Black Queen].
“damian.”
“…….”
“The evilness felt from this gun is not normal. Really, it's okay?”
“Let go. right now.”
“I heard His Royal Highness even stopped him. This…….”
“I told you to let go!”
A harsh voice that did not usually come out came out of Damian's mouth..
“I have to go see my class! Let go!”
“……damian.”
“With this gun, I can meet my dead class again... … What's the problem? I meet the class, you get rid of that snake, it's better for everyone.?”
“…….”
Kureha slowly let go of Damian's hand..
“Just remember this. Damian. There are people here who cherish you too.”
Without even listening, Damian reached out and grabbed the Black Queen..
“……Just remember that.”
Wow!!
An aura several times darker and more evil than before enveloped Damian's entire body..
《There you go, Damian..》
I heard a voice inside.
《ruler. let's go dream.》
The voice seemed to be Orlop's... … It seemed like half of it.
《This time I'll make sure you have such happy dreams that you'll never wake up..》
Hearing that sweet voice, Damian lost consciousness..
***
When I came to my senses, I was at the top of the mountain..
Damian looked around blankly..
It was a low, small mountain where dawn broke. On the other side, an endless land spread out beneath the wide sky..
Damien realized his situation now..
It was dawn that day when I escaped from the orphanage and climbed to the top of the mountain..
‘Something… … I feel like I've been through a lot…….’
Damian ran a hand across his headache-inducing forehead..
My mind is cloudy. Accidents don't go well.
But no matter how much I look back, I can't remember anything other than escaping the orphanage and arriving here..
Did something else happen??
“Damien, promise me.”
At that time, I heard a familiar voice next to me..
I turned around in surprise and it was half..
Dark tanned skin, short hair like a boy. Both cheeks are scarred.
The face of the girl Damien loved was right in front of him. Damien quietly blinked her eyes..
“huh? promise? some promise?”
“I decided to adventure all over this outside world..”
Ban smiled brightly.
“Let's see the whole wide world in our eyes.”
Damian looked blankly at Van's dazzling smile.,
“……no.”
I shook my head.
“let's not do that.”
“uh? huh?”
“Let's not do adventures or anything like that..”
“what……?”
“Don't become a mercenary looking to make a quick buck, and don't go south hoping to see the end of the world..”
“Damian? What are you talking about??”
Damian himself didn't know what he was talking about. However, he clearly knew that he should not go on any more adventures..
Damian approached Van, who was blinking inexplicably, and carefully held her chin with both hands.,
kissed.
“……?!”
Ban's face turned bright red in surprise. Damien slowly parted his lips and smiled faintly..
“I'm sorry all of a sudden. But if I didn't do it, you would have done it anyway.?”
“You, you, you, you……!”
“If you go north from here, there is a big city. There would be a lot for us to do there. Let's start there.”
Damian reached out and squeezed Van's hands..
The girl's hands were warm.
“I quit adventuring, I quit dangerous things like swords and healing magic... … Let's live quietly and peacefully, class.”
“…….”
He looked at Damian with half-blank eyes, and then answered with a grin..
“……If you want to do that, I will. damian.”
Ban's fingers dug into Damien's hand..
“Because wherever I am with you is fine.”
“……huh!”
The boy and girl held hands and ran down the mountain..
Their faces were overflowing with hope..
***
And so, a new life began.
In a corner of a bustling city, the two began to build a life..
I stayed in cheap accommodation and did odd jobs. Cleaned the alleys, washed dishes in restaurants, turned on street lights and delivered letters..
I shouted at customers at the stall and peeled potatoes until my hands were blistered. I endured my hunger and saved an eye-sized amount of wages..
Because their income was poor, the two always had to tighten their belts..
But happiness was everywhere.
Damien did his best to cook with the leftover ingredients he got from the restaurant. Even with hard bread, wilted vegetables, and crumbly meat, it couldn't have been that delicious..
I didn't have money to go to the theater, so I sat on a tree branch outside the theater and watched the play. It was so moving that it brought me to tears..
When we walk through the city center holding hands after work late at night. Even if your body smells like sweat and your hands smell like fish,.
Every day was beautiful.
Because the boy and girl were sincere, they were soon recognized..
Damien was smart and quick at calculating, so he was able to get a job as a cashier at a nearby shopping mall, and thanks to his cheerful and affable personality, he became a regular salesperson at the mall..
It's been a long time since I forgot about healing magic and the sword..
I was happy even without that.
***
Time has passed.
The two became adults. Both Damian and Ban have become indispensable people in their respective workplaces. My pockets were still poor, but my youth was young and fresh..
And one fall festival day.
pop! Bubble bung!
That autumn night, when people poured out into the square and held hands and danced, loud singing sounded from all directions, and fireworks exploded in the sky..
“let's get married.”
Damian got down on one knee in front of Van and proposed..
He held out a ring made of cheap silver and looked so nervous that his face turned red and looked like it was about to explode. Half in tears, Damien proposed..
Ban was looking down at that stupid face with a smile on his stomach.,
“……huh!”
I accepted, wiping the tears from my eyes..
The two put the rings on each other and kissed. The citizens enjoying the festival all around cheered and whistled in unison and gave their blessings..
There was no time for a wedding. After registering their marriage, the two began their honeymoon..
I couldn't afford to buy a house, so I rented a small, shabby room. She cleared away the cobwebs, pushed away the mold, and applied white wallpaper..
I picked up furniture that my neighbors had thrown away, repaired it, and painted it. It turned out to be a pretty decent new home..
The two had a great time holding hands and falling asleep every night on a moth-eaten bed..
On the weekends, I dressed up in my rare street clothes and went to a small theater in a back alley to watch a one-act play. I ate out on the way home after finishing..
When considering cost-effectiveness, I always had to go to stores that were cheap and had a lot of food. I was grateful to be able to live this kind of life..
And, a few months later.
“They said I was pregnant..”
When Damian came home from work, Van, who was waiting at home, cried and said.
“I'm pregnant, Damien.!”
“……!”
Damian, who had been frozen in a daze, ran up to Ban and hugged him. Ban screamed in joy as he clung to Damien's body..
“It's our child, it's our child! I'm becoming a mother!”
Time went by in an instant.
Ten months later, the midwife came to the house, and Damien bit his molar at the door while hearing Van's screams of pain..
Mite… … ! mite……!
The child was born safely..
“It's my son…….”
Ban, who was touching the blood in his arms with a pale face, asked with a grin..
“What should I name the child??”
“Ugh, I didn’t have anything in mind.…….”
“You're always like that…….”
Van grumbled and winked at Damian..
“So why not name it after the person you admire the most??”
Damian blinked blankly. the person you respect the most?
‘The person I respect the most…….’
A man's name flashed through my mind. Damian blurted out without realizing it..
“Then, the child's name is…….”
***
Time has passed.
The child grew like a tree..
They were both busy raising children and working at the same time..
However, because they both needed income, they did not give up raising children or working..
The child who cried for half the day was soon crawling, standing on his own, and starting to walk..
The day the child walked on two legs for the first time, Damien held his son in his arms and ran around the city, showing off to the whole neighborhood..
Half of me was embarrassed, so I covered my face with one hand and hit Damien on the back with the other, but then I ran around with him..
“flattery! Irma!”
the child started talking.
The child was weaned from the breast and started to eat baby food. A tooth sprouted between the child's exposed gums. Her hair grew shaggy and had to be cut..
Time has passed.
Before I knew it, the child was seven years old..
Since Damian and Van suffered from not receiving a proper education as children, they promised to give Aiman a proper education..
The child, who loved books from a young age, stood out even after entering school..
Every day when our child received an award certificate, Damian and Van would brag to the neighborhood, saying that our son was a genius..
The family of three used to go on picnics on the weekends. We packed a lunch and brought a mat, and went on a picnic to the park and the river..
Time has passed.
When the child turned thirteen, he entered a boarding school. The proud son entered the dormitory, telling him not to worry, while Van and Damian quietly shed tears..
Time has passed.
Damian continued to be promoted within the top ranks. Since he had already worked for nearly 20 years, his standing within the top was high..
Ban acquired a commercial building and opened his own store. She had some debt, but her store was doing well, so she was able to repay it quickly..
It was at this time that I left the semi-basement house I had grown fond of and moved to a nice mansion on the outskirts of the city..
Time has passed.
After graduating from school, my son was accepted to the city's city hall as an administrator..
On the day the acceptance was announced, Damien and Van hugged their son like they did when they were young and took a walk around the neighborhood to boast about it..
The son was embarrassed and covered his face..
Time has passed.
My son was promoted. He bought a house near city hall and started living on his own..
Before we knew it, the wrinkles on Damian and Van's faces had increased considerably..
The two still held hands and went on dates every weekend. We went out to the main theater in the city and ate at a nice restaurant..
Time has passed.
The son brought a beautiful young lady to introduce her. She said she had already promised to get married..
Since Damien and Van couldn't have a proper wedding, they decided to hold a grand wedding for their son..
Many people came to my son's wedding. Everyone clapped and showered flowers, congratulating the young couple on their new union..
Damien and Van held each other's hands as they watched this scene..
“Should we have a new wedding??”
“What is this old man saying so carelessly?.”
Although Van scolded Damien's proposal, the two actually had a new wedding at dusk some time later..
Keep it a secret from your son and new daughter-in-law, and just the two of you quietly.
“A wedding at this age, really.…….”
In a quiet temple where the dusty sunlight falls.
Even in her wedding dress and wrinkled face, she was half beautiful. She smiled brightly and said.
“You really like me, old man.!”
Damian hugged Ban without saying a word and kissed her lips..
Time has passed.
Time has passed.
……Time has passed.
***
Lying in bed, Damian waited for death..
Ban, who was sitting on the chair next to him, squeezed Damien's hand..
“I was happy, honey.?”
“then. I was happy.”
Damian muttered, looking at the ceiling with eyes that couldn't see clearly..
“What kind of happiness can you enjoy more than this?…….”
“…….”
“you were happy, honey?”
When Damian asked, Van smiled faintly and answered.
“Well, I couldn't be happier..”
The two held hands for a moment and did not talk at all..
A peaceful silence filled the comfortable bedroom..
At that time, there was a commotion outside the bedroom door. I heard children laughing.
“Ah, it looks like my son is here..”
Ban quickly ran out and opened the door..
“father!”
The proud son, who rose to mayor of the city despite being from a commoner background, came into the bedroom with his grandchildren. Damien welcomed his son with open arms.
“Welcome, my proud son..”
And Damian said his son's name..
“……ash…….”
The moment you spit out that name.
“uh?”
A faint moan escaped from the corner of old Damien's mouth..
In my cloudy mind.
It was a vivid ripple-like sensation..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
My son stood in front of the bed and smiled..
A young and handsome young man with jet black hair and sparkling jet black eyes..
Ash said-.
- damian.
- Are you going to just sit there and wait for me to die??
