My Villains Episode 022
6. broken things(3)
“Haha, haha-”
After leaving the square, we were able to catch our breath only when we passed through the market and entered West Street..
Daria, who was catching her breath, looked at me and asked with a tired expression..
“Ha, ha - poi, it's not hard?”
“I'm fine, take a break.”
What was surprising to her was that I recovered my breathing just by taking three or four deep breaths. Even though I ran through the crowds wearing heavy armor and carrying sacks of grain on my back, I only sweated a little..
Daria held her knees and took a moment to catch her breath. A little bit of disheveled front hair flowed down the lowered upper body, and between them there was something huge.-
“ Q ”
I quickly looked away and admired the birds flying freely in the sky. Unlike the city, which had an ugly atmosphere, the sky was extremely peaceful. The sound of chirping birds, bright sunlight, and the sea breeze passing through my ears disperse my worries.…….
By the time I had regained peace of mind and body, Daria had caught her breath and raised her upper body..
“are you okay?”
“Phew, ugh. thank you. “Thanks to you, I survived.” ...being nice, being nice!
If it had been Ellen instead of Daria, I would have kicked her in the shin, saying, ‘You idiot, where have you been and now you’re here!’.
I offered an apology, feeling even more sorry..
“I'm really sorry. I glanced at you for a moment.”
“no. Who knew something like that could happen in such a short period of time? It's my fault. I should have been careful.”
A look of self-reproach was evident on her face as she muttered..
No, you blame yourself? Why on earth!
“Daria, what does that mean? They are bad bastards, how can you
It's wrong?”
When I raised my voice, Daria looked surprised for a moment and then shook her head..
“It was wrong for a young woman to go out to the square even though the city atmosphere was scary. I should have been careful….”
•••What kind of bullshit is this??
I was so dumbfounded that I stopped trying to argue..
okay. This is not the Republic of Korea in the 21st century. I don't know everything about this world, but the Kingdom of Milan in Middle World, especially the city of South Harbor, was a place where people cheered when they saw people being hanged. It is foolish to impose the logic and sensibility of modern people..
I sighed and took Daria's hands. It was a rough but slender hand with cracks here and there..
“Don't blame yourself, Daria. They are bad. It's not your fault.”
“•••Thanks, Poi.”
Only then did Daria smile faintly..
We walked in silence for a while.
Meanwhile, Daria suddenly asked a question..
“Come to think of it, Poi. Where did you go earlier??”
It was an ordinary question without any sense of anger or rebuke..
However, through my own life experience, I instinctively realized that this moment was an enormous crisis. The brain, which had been working furiously for about 1.5 seconds due to a sense of crisis, finally came up with an answer..
“Oh, actually, earlier……
I supported the grain bags with one hand and put the other hand into my breastplate. After a moment of fumbling, I held out what I had in hand to Daria..
What came out like that was a cherry blossom ring..
“They sell things like this at street stalls. I think it suits you.”
“really?”
Daria's eyes widened and she accepted the ring..
Then he put it on his finger and smiled brightly, like a flower bud blooming..
“It's perfect!”
“That's good.”
I am fortunate in many ways. Judging from the expression on his face, it looks like he not only escaped the crisis but also gained quite a few points..
•••But why do I instinctively try to seduce him? Is this an exciting attraction, or is it a command from testosterone to explode??
I put aside my worries for a moment and had a conversation with Daria about the flower ring..
She said there are no cherry trees in South Harbor. All that happens is that flower petals fall occasionally due to the northeast wind..
But the ring I gave was made of whole cherry blossoms, not petals. So Daria was very surprised and happy..
Then Daria looked worried for a moment and said.
“however… Will it be okay? They said those thugs were Uvar's subordinates..”
“Who on earth is that guy named Uvar??”
“He is the leader of a gang that is controlling the market. Rumor has it that he is a scary guy who even dabbles in salt and slaves.….”
“gang leader?”
Ah, Kingpin Uvar! Now I remember.
Is it because of the overly vivid and brutal sense of reality? I often forget that I am immersed in a game world called Dark World..
Dark World was a game with some roguelike characteristics..
Hardcore mode, random optional items, terrain and monsters that change every time you start a new campaign, etc. were such roguelike features..
However, Dark World has a certain scenario, so there were fixed monsters that were necessary for the game to progress..
Those guys were commonly called ‘Fixed Named Enemies’ (entities that always appear among named enemies)..
There were four picks in Chapter 2 of the Dark World campaign, and the third one you encountered was the gang leader Uvar..
What kind of guy is Uvar?…….
If you follow the scenario and click on the NPCs in order, an event will occur at the dockside. What you will encounter there is the gangster leader Uvar and his men..
okay. That's all I know about him.
Of course, I know all the strategies to catch Uvar and the types of random names he leads. But the problem is that I have no idea why there is a battle with Uvar in the scenario..
I know that right before fighting Uvar, you have a conversation with the castle lord, the market merchants, and the guard captain in turn..
But what was the conversation, why did Uvar and the henchmen suddenly appear at the dock after that conversation, and what was the letter Uvar had? I don't know anything.
It's not that I don't remember... Shit, I never even read it.!
Seungsu Kim, you damn skip-chung! How can you be so ignorant of the scenario after playing games since elementary school?!
As my expression darkened, Daria asked with a dark expression..
“trunnion. I'm worried?”
“No, what to worry about. There’s no way that Uvar guy even knows me..”
But Daria still had a dark face..
“you are so famous….”
“ah.”
That's right, damn it.
The battle on the dockside gave rise to the sick nickname 'Bloody Swordsman'..
It would be easy to get information from Uvar that the bloody swordsman was staying at the Bathon Inn..
“Of course, you might not recognize it. At that time, you were very……
“ah. yes.”
What Daria was talking about was what I looked like when I returned to the inn after the battle. It is said that his entire body was so covered in blood that it was difficult to recognize him..
Daria said with a hard smile..
“You were wearing a helmet earlier, right? You probably didn't recognize me.”
“Yeah, maybe..”
I nodded, pretending to be calm, but... honestly, I'm really worried..
Uvar and his minions are pretty strong guys. Of course, if it were a game, I was confident I could wipe it out even with a level 11 blood knight..
If you are a normal user, you need to be at least level 15 to attack it, but for me, level 11 is enough. No, it's leisurely..
But this is reality. Really, what if Uvar, the guards or something else, drags his men and attacks the inn... What should I do then??
At the same time, a new and more critical problem occurred to me..
If Uvar comes to me... What happens to the scenario??
I returned to the inn, hiding my worries as best as I could. Because I felt like Daria would be scared too if she knew I was anxious..
Wouldn’t it be okay to just move the inn??
The fact that the bloodied prosecutor was staying at the Baetgo-dong Inn has already become widely known throughout the city..
What if Uvar comes to the inn to avenge his subordinate and I am not there? You can take out your anger on the owner, Daria, and the middle-aged women..
Ha, what should I do? It's impossible to stay at the inn all day..
•••Yes, the answer is fast scenario progression. I need to get acquainted with the lord of the castle or the guard captain and get help from the guard..
By the time I reached that conclusion, I had arrived at the inn..
After bringing the bag of grains to the kitchen, I was about to go up to the second floor when Daria stopped me..
“Poi, wait a minute..”
“Yeah, why?”
Daria walked up to me at a slow pace and suddenly kissed me on the cheek..
side.
The movement was so quick that I didn't even see the owner yawning at the bar or the merchants sitting at the table behind me..
I, too, had no choice but to be helpless..
……Actually, it's lame. I could have avoided it, but I didn't..
“I was thankful for today.”
Before I could answer, he disappeared into the kitchen..
•••What I wanted. It's just like lifting a person's heart and letting it go..
Ah, it was the most fulfilling day since I came into this world. Now, nursing our broken wand stand will end our perfect day..
While I was climbing the stairs with that thought in mind, I suddenly heard a sharp shout..
““Get your dirty hands off me, you son of a bitch!” ...It was Ellen's voice. I jumped up the stairs like I was flying and opened the door..
“No, I just- uh, poi.?”
My blood-filled eyes quickly scanned the room..
Ellen, covered in sweat, was lying on the bed with only her upper body up and sighing. Fortunately, it didn't seem like I was harmed..
After confirming that Ellen was okay, the surroundings came into view..
Gilius looks back at me in an awkward position while saying something, a wet cotton cloth dropped on the floor, a bucket slick with well water..
Gilius looked at my expression, became thoughtful, raised both his hands and said..
“Oh my, poi. This is Sister Olga _99
“Let’s go, old man..”
I roughly guessed the situation..
It seems that Sister Olga was away for some reason, and Gilius was staying by Ellen's side instead..
And when Ellen woke up, she was probably shaking like usual..
“No, I think there's some misunderstanding.
place,”
“ Get out.”
Okay, I guess I kind of know what's going on.….
I read confusion and fear in Gilius' eyes. Not embarrassment and resentment.
“Now, wait a minute. This is kek
Looking at Gilius babbling, I couldn't resist the urge..
They rushed at him, grabbed his neck, hung his legs, and pinned him to the ground..
Kwajajak!
“Hehe, hehe! eww……
Gilius' large figure floated almost a meter in the air and then fell, shattering the floorboards..
When I tried to pull out the pulse, Ellen screamed..
“trunnion! stop!”
The sharp high pitched sound suddenly brings me to my senses..
Crazy, what have I done? Why are you trying to pull out the knife? Are you trying to kill me? Because I don’t like the look in your eyes?
“Me, I'm fine. nothing happened.”
Ellen stopped me with a stuttering yet calm voice, and I spontaneously let out a hot breath..
“ Phew••••••
When I let go and stood up, Gilius, who was stuck on the floor, let out a groan..
“Ugh, holy shit. What did I do? I just. Okay.”
“•••Let’s go, old man..”
“You crazy bastard, shouldn’t you apologize first? Ugh, I think there's a crack somewhere..”
I shot back at Gilius, who was staggering to his feet and grumbling, in a voice so cold that even I was surprised..
“Old man. Shut up.”
“•••what?”
“Because I can’t control myself right now? I feel like I'll beat you up if you talk nonsense, so get out quickly..”
Gilius twitched his chin and glared at me for a moment, but then lowered his eyes and turned around..
After he left, there was silence in the room for a moment..
Is it because of the years of living as a member of society in modern times? I was very embarrassed to have clearly revealed my negative emotions..
Did I overdo it for no reason... I heard this thought too late..
So, without saying a word, I closed the door and sat down next to Ellen. The guy looked at me with complicated eyes and kept his mouth shut..
With an effortless expression, I picked up the cotton cloth that had fallen on the floor and rinsed it in the bucket. Then, after squeezing out the water, he gestured to the guy..
“Hey, lie down. I sweat a lot.”
“I thought you went.”
What is he talking about again??
“Are you going? where?”
“…anywhere.”
“…Did you wake up late? What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden??”
Ellen pursed her lips again..
what? Why are you doing this??
Oh, it's a shame. Well, it's funny that you're behaving like usual when you've been such a whiner before..
To change the mood, I felt the urge to make fun of him for a while.….
Ha, what other adult could an adult be? In times like this, it's an adult to hold back on pranks..
I put my hand inside the breastplate to pretend not to notice the puzzled guy..
I take out the bag of medicine Daria bought me..
Hey, the flower bracelet got caught on the glove and fell out..
I opened the medicine bag with a nonchalant expression and said,.
“It's a medicine that Mr. Oreg made himself. Perilla leaves, red thistle, and… Uh, I heard there was something in it, elderflower or something..
“Let’s eat some porridge later and eat after we’ve filled our stomach. Uh, maybe - I eat this 30 minutes after eating, well, there's no need to do that??”
“Still, it feels uncomfortable, so let’s do it that way. There may be ingredients that interfere with digestion.….”
Ellen was unable to keep her mouth shut, clenching her jaw to the point where it felt like it was clenching. It looked like he was holding back tears..
Only then did I realize how he was feeling..
Damn, I was impressed..
I was lost in thought for a moment while looking at the flower bracelet..
Ah, I kind of like this..
Yes, in a case like this, the right answer would be to definitely finish it, right? Well, there is no one else to give it to..
“Hey, give me your hand.”
“......2”
“Show me your hand.”
Ellen calmly held out her hand. I held his hand and carefully threaded the flower bracelet..
“It is a mixture of dianthus and plantain, and is said to make people who wear it healthy. So, kick well while it hurts. uh… Is it a little big??”
•••It wasn't that big, but it seemed like it would leave a kick on my forearm..
Well, when I was shopping earlier, I chose the one that fit my wrist without much thought. There's no way I could get hit by that guy..
But I didn't show any embarrassment and spoke calmly..
“I think I can just cut this a little bit and tie it back together.……
When I tried to take the bracelet back while saying that, the boy quickly pulled his hand away and hid it in his arms. Then he quietly looked at the bracelet..
“Hey, crap. I like it?”
“this••••••
The guy opened his mouth in a crying voice. At the same time, tears burst out as if I had been waiting..
“•Hmm OO ” ---, — ―I •
The boy tried his best to stop crying with his head down, but it was difficult to stop the dam from bursting again..
Okay, this is it. After all, gifts are about timing..
While I was tapping the guy on the shoulder with a proud heart, Ellen spoke again..
“*Ugh*This, this••••••
“Yeah, yeah.”
“This is pig, ragweed, disease, god..”
•••ragweed?
“•••I said plantain.”
“Pig, it's grass.”
•••From the name, it sounds like a dog, no, a pig. What's the name, ragweed?.
The guy shook his shoulders but kept talking..
“If you wear this *cough*, knock, rug, come up.”
“•••I didn't know.”
Do you really have to cry and say something like that? You can't just shut up?
“Give it to me. I have to throw it away.”
When I stretched out my hand, he turned his upper body and avoided my hand..
“no.
“He said he was getting hives?”
“•••Don't worry, turn it off.”
After that, I kept trying to take the bracelet away for a while. But no matter how much I tried, he just cried and shook his head..
“Yeah, do whatever you want..”
“*sniff* it will happen, idiot.”
……A wand pedestal year without cheesiness..
