My Villains Episode 107
27. mountain villa(3)
As I look around the mountain cabin in a daze, I hear Ellen's voice..
“Why are you fooling around alone? I feel like a jerk.”
The guy who said that lifted up slightly and landed on my arm. I shook my head as I held Ellen in my arms..
“……No, no. Let’s go in and rest quickly..”
“huh. My legs are still numb.”
“uh? Why are my legs?”
“I don't know either. Is it because I rode the carriage for too long?.”
Well, the car shook quite a bit while riding the dizzying mountain road.…….
“Let's go quickly. I'll give you a massage after eating..”
“……“It’s annoying.” “Why bother? All I have to do is lie still..”
I left behind the guy who was turning his head with a sullen expression and spoke to Ute Kwai..
“Quickly bring the spotted dog. Take a bundle too.”
“The bundle was very big. It's time to catch up.”
“…… I'm warning you in advance, if you touch it again, you'll be beaten to the point where you're on the verge of being kicked out..”
Utequwai smiled, holding the trembling bundle at his side..
“A whole young wild boar is very delicious if you eat it roasted. The flesh is so soft. The meat juice flows out and the flavor is moderately rich. Why don't you know the taste??”
“Crazy guy. Give it to me, dude!”
As I snatch the bundle from Utequai, the delicate piglet snuggles into my arms and meows..
Then this time Ellen suddenly frowned..
“Why don’t you get rid of that little pig? “It stinks!” “The smell is permeating my body, so why are you making such a fuss??”
“……“It’s annoying.” I gave a coin to the young stable keeper, left Spotted Dog in his care, and entered the mountain cabin. The lodge was quite clean and spacious considering it was located in the mountains..
We rented two rooms for four pieces of silver, but there were no household items, so we had to lie down on the blankets we brought. Well, I liked it because there was just a little dust and no bad smell..
1I was also satisfied with the fact that there was a bathroom in the corner of the floor. After paying a few coins, the workers at the lodge provided me with hot water. Thanks to this, Ellen and I were able to take a bath in warm water for the first time in a long time..
After finishing the bath, I went up to the room, and Ellen, who was drying her hair, looked at the bundle in my arms and looked cold..
“I washed it with that hairball again.?”
“why. What's wrong?”
“What are you going to do if you get sick?!”
“I always wash it so soft and fluffy, but what kind of illness is it??”
I lifted the front paw of the dozing bundle and pointed at Ellen..
“that's right! Why is my sister always being mean to me??”
“What is your sister?,”
“Then I'll call you ajumma! Do you know how clean I am? They even cover their poop and urine well.!”
Ellen shook her head in astonishment at the voice imitating a pig..
I tied up the bundle and roughly wiped the armor I had taken off with a cloth. And I left the lodge wearing only a breastplate, vambrace, and shin pads..
Ute Kwai was washing himself at the well in front of the lodge. He has a unique appearance and size, so he doesn't seem to care at all even though people will stare at him. It's quite shameless.
I took Ute Kwai and headed to the tavern. The loud singing voice became increasingly clearer..
“I am like a river! Flowing - I don't walk down the old road-”
The candles in the candlesticks on the wall and the iron decorations on the ceiling brightly lit up the room..
“Chains can't bind me-”
There were eight large round tables, and the boards on the floor had been recently replaced, so there wasn't a single bruise in the corner..
“Keys too! I don't need it-”
And soldiers and mercenaries.
They were tapping their beer glasses on the table, stamping their feet, and singing at the top of their lungs..
“Someone like me! find-”
And, a woman was dancing on the table in the center. She was a tall woman with very long arms and legs..
“Do something naughty-”
Light body movements, light hand movements.
The rhythm of clapping hands, tapping heels, and stamping feet is so exciting..
“There's a lot of work to do, but!”
A dance that is both vulgar yet luxurious, and funny yet mysterious. Lightly tanned skin and dripping sweat steal attention..
Youth shines brightly.
“Just have a drink! Drink it - three!”
In an instant, the woman's eyes met. Light brown eyes. I took a deep breath..
Ellen, covered in a robe, glanced at the dancing woman and frowned..
“Are you from the Nudein tribe? “It’s vulgar.” Over the years, I have had many conversations with many people, including Ellen. Since there was nothing else to do during the long journey, we just chatted to kill time. Thanks to this, my common sense has become quite rich..
‘The ‘Nudein people’ was one of those common sense words..
The Nudein are said to be a nomadic people who began wandering Middleworld around the time the ancient empire fell. When I heard the story, of course I thought of gypsies... … . The Nude people were very different from the image I had imagined..
““Falling in love is-” The drinkers’ songs and the women’s dances continued. It was a new dance move that suited the new rhythm..
“Sweet, trap！”
The hair flowed softly..
Her hair, tied in a high bun, was decorated with three or four rings and red cloth..
“In my heart, when it fills up-”
Is this Nuden’s traditional clothing? The woman was wearing a type of clothing I had never seen before..
Large ring-shaped earrings, a red band wrapped around the left forearm, cloth clothes that expose the waist and legs, ankles and bare feet with rings fluttering..
“Young man, be careful.!”
The woman was attractive. His facial features were refreshing and his smile was bright. Her eyebrows were straight and her bright brown eyes sparkled like stars..
Her arms, legs, and abdomen were fully exposed, and the flickering light gently sculpted the valley carved out by her muscles..
“Throw away the cross-”
When I stretched out my arms and bent my back, my abs were revealed, and when I lifted my feet, my thighs became elastic and tightened..
And even lightly tanned skin. He had a beautifully trained body reminiscent of a fitness model or athlete..
“You'll fall into the abyss!”
Until I sat down at an empty table, I couldn't take my eyes off the dancing woman. Her charm alone was enough reason to lose my attention, but I had more reasons than that. Because then, something hit my shin under the table. Then,
“Ugh,”
Ellen, who was sitting next to me, was making a groaning noise and clutching her feet..
“……What are you doing??”
“Ugh. You, you're wearing gaiters?”
“Shin braces? huh.”
“Ew, why are you wearing that? You didn't wear any other armor.!”
“Why are you giving me a promotion? I kicked you out.”
Ellen, speechless, huffs to herself. I sighed and grabbed his foot and pulled it onto my thigh..
“No, where did this guy who can't even walk get the strength to open the joint??”
“It hurts a lot?”
“Just a moment, just a moment. Until then,”
I ignored his resistance and took off my shoes to check his feet..
“It was loud, but it didn't seem like he was hurt at all.?”
“So, I said it was okay, you idiot… … Faint voice. Ellen's face, revealed beneath her robe, was bright red..
I guess I still can't get used to touching bare skin. It's not easy to be cute when you're always shy..
Ellen became quiet, and as Nomi Jung approached, she ordered food. I ordered a lot of things and ended up paying five pieces of silver..
The cost of using a mountain lodge is also crazy, reminiscent of the siege of South Harbor. If you stay here too long, you'll quickly become a beggar..
Since I spent a lot of money every time I stopped at a village during my journey, my wallet became considerably lighter..
The money left now... … About twenty gold coins and sixty silver coins..
Of course, this is a large amount of money, and there are diamonds if you can, so there is no need to worry right away. However, I feel like I wasted my money and I reflect a little..
As I was putting away my money bag, someone came up to the table and started talking to me..
“hi. Can I sit down for a moment??”
“uh?”
The person who spoke like that was none other than the woman who was dancing.!
While I hesitated due to the unexpected situation, Ute Kwai was observing the woman closely. Ellen remained silent and had a stiff expression on her face..
“Mmm-”
The woman sat down across from him before even hearing the answer. She tossed her gray hair behind her shoulder and looked at me intently. Then he suddenly asked a question..
“Where have we seen this before??”
“ huh?”
““Have you and I ever met?” The woman who asked that was smiling. It was a nice smile to see.
“Um, no. I feel like I’m seeing you for the first time.”
“right? Well, there's no way I wouldn't remember a face like that..”
Playful tone. The eyes were full of curiosity..
“‘that kind of face’?”
“huh. It's just my taste. You're so handsome, you.”
“......uh?”
It was a mantra I had never heard before in my life, and I couldn't help but be taken aback. Kim Seung-su's face was a bit short of being handsome. Even since becoming Phoenix, there has never been a woman who approached me so unhesitatingly..
Well, there was Daria, but she wasn't the type to throw a fastball like this.…….
Seeing that I couldn't find the words to reply, the woman was grinning loudly..
“But what if you stare at me with that face? You almost fell off the table..”
“Ah, well. sorry. I feel like he looks a bit like someone I know.”
The woman who giggled for a moment said.
“I didn't mean to get an apology. But who is that ‘acquaintance’??”
“huh?”
“A person who looks like me. It's a girl, right? Yes floating‘?”
……What is this? Do men and women who meet each other for the first time have this conversation? Ann has a strange personality.?
“huh? pretty?”
No, no. This might be the life of good-looking guys. It's not strange, it's just an unfamiliar situation..
Yes, it's a matter of adaptation. The process of getting used to life as a Phoenix,
“Since you smell like sweat, why don’t you just turn it off??”
Ellen, who had been silent, cut off my worries and shot at the woman..
The woman's expression hardened for a moment and she smelled her arm. And then he smiled awkwardly..
“Hmm, I don't think it smells bad..”
“It might be okay for the Nudein, but it's disgusting for us to handle. Lose your appetite
Stop it!,”
“Hey, that's too harsh..”
Ellen glared at me at my dissuasion..
“What's so harsh about talking??”
“How can you be disgusting to someone you meet for the first time? Also, it doesn't smell bad, why is that?.”
Ellen blushed at my words and turned her head..
Well, it seemed like I was unintentionally taking the side of a woman I had never met instead of Ellen. I can't help it.
I looked back at the woman and smiled slightly..
“Hey, I'm sorry. My group felt a little uncomfortable hanging out with strangers..”
The woman who was smiling as if she was interested tilts her head as if she doesn't understand..
“ Hmm?”
“It was nice to meet you. See you next time when you get a chance.”
At the obvious invitation to congratulate the guests, the woman with a slightly cracked smile shrugged her shoulders and stood up..
“……Well, okay. I don't know if I'll ever see you again.”
Just as the woman was about to turn around,
“Oh, wait a minute..”
“ hmm‘?”
“Can I hear your name??”
I looked him in the eye with a question. The woman narrowed her eyes and asked back..
“In times like this, it's not polite to reveal your name first.?”
“ah. I'm Nick.”
“Knicks? It’s Nyx… … The woman savored my pseudonym for a moment and then smiled..
“That's a strange name.”
“you?”
“……‘Atilia’.”
“atilia?”
That's probably not the name?
When I frowned, the woman frowned..
“why? There's a problem?”
“No, no. Nice to meet you, Atilia..”
“……me too. then.”
The woman who introduced herself as Atilia looked at me for a moment. Then he turned around and went back to his colleagues who appeared to be Nudeans..
As far as I know, her name was not Atilia.
Atalanta. Arcane Hunter Atalanta.
that was her name.
