My Villains Episode 228
47. nightmare(10)
Immediately after jumping out of the black passage, I looked back..
He landed on the dirt floor without a crunching sound, and Cole adjusted his posture as if he was used to it and was alert to his surroundings..
Finally, Hayla slipped on her foot and lost her balance, and I, who was prepared in advance, quickly supported her back before she fell backwards..
“……thank you.”
Their agility is much higher than that of ordinary people, and their shoes are made of high-quality tarandus leather, so they can slip on so easily. If this is a talent, it is a talent..
“Thank you.”
I thought about making a joke, but Hayla, who was relying on me to straighten her posture, looked so sullen that I stopped..
“This is.”
Cole looked around with a long arrow raised in protest..
“It looks like a Nudein camp..”
“……Nude people?”
“yes. Looks similar to what I saw a few years ago.”
The place we arrived this time was a campsite full of large and small tents, wagons, and carts..
The ropes that held the tent in place, as if they had some magical meaning, were all decorated with red and yellow cloth, and the floor was littered with brass nails, carpets, horse feed, etc..
Clean water licked in a wooden barrel placed at the entrance to a tent, and chunks of meat and flat bread sizzled on the oil in a skillet sitting on a bonfire..
“••••••Hmm.”
It was a place full of life, but it didn't feel like it was popular at all. As expected, the atmosphere is very similar to the previous places..
Not only were there no people, but there were no livestock, including horses, to be seen at all..
Well, it's a space where you can't even hear the sound of insects crying, so there's no way there's anything like horses or chickens there.-
“Windy! west coast-”
m । 99
Suddenly, we heard a song and the four of us stiffened. And before anyone could say anything, we stood close together and guarded all around..
“Raise the sails, let's go! to our hometown 99
However, despite the fact that the sword was pulled out at once, the voice was that of a child..
But I couldn't rest assured.
“Golden sun! Blow your breath-”
«......eww «
......
This is because I couldn't figure out where that clear and refreshing singing voice came from. It felt like they were turning on speakers in all directions and randomly turning the volume dial..
“Overcome the rough waves! to our hometown-”
At the end of the song, a figure suddenly appeared between the tents..
“••••••nicks?”
I turned my head to follow that familiar voice and opened my mouth half-open..
Clothing made of thin cloth, a red band wrapped around the left forearm, and a ring attached to the ankle..
Light brown skin, a slim, well-groomed body, a tall height of about 175 cm, and large golden eyes set beneath straight eyebrows..
“Atalan, Attilia?”
“nicks.”
Atalanta, with a bright smile, came running as if flying. I was standing there awkwardly, not knowing whether I should retrieve Hrunting or not, but she immediately came running to me, jumped up, and hugged me..
“Hyala, I can't believe it..”
Atalanta wrapped her legs around my waist and hugged the back of my head and the nape of my neck. Burying my face in her chest, I take a deep breath and the familiar scent of jasmine fills my lungs..
At that moment, I intuitively realized it. I realized that the Atalanta that appeared before me was not an illusion..
“I never imagined we'd meet so soon.”
“Me too.”
Atalanta suddenly put her hand on my shoulder and raised her upper body. Then he looked down at me with watery eyes and bit his lower lip..
“Ha, Liljanun.”
……I heard this once. Isn’t this an insult??
“i get it. This is a dream.”
“……what?" “But it doesn’t matter.”
Atalanta, who hugged me in her arms again, said, ‘Yes, it’s okay. 'I've been through so much,' he muttered, rubbing the back of my head and grabbing my hair..
“Ugh! Hey, it hurts,”
Before I could finish speaking, Atalanta forcibly tilted her head back and covered my mouth with her lips..
The soft meat offal suddenly broke through between my defenseless teeth and wrapped around my withdrawn tongue like a snake..
The sound of breath, saliva, and flesh mixing together.
Sweet flesh scent mixed with tea scent.
I feel dizzy…….
“Now, *ugh* wait a minute.-”
The reason I came to my senses in the midst of Atalanta's aggressive kiss that seemed to devour me was because the bundle behind me made a strange 'Ahhhh' sound and made its presence known..
“ Hmm?”
As I struggled, Atalanta glanced at the group behind her and nodded..
“You can go *sigh* anywhere. Everything is empty.”
……What are you saying?.
“No, wait, come to your senses.!”
“Maybe it's because it's been a while *sigh*, or maybe it's because it's a dream, but more-”
“hey! Don't be crazy, why are you here??”
After forcing her to stand upright and asking her again, Atalanta frowned and answered..
“What are you talking about when you come into my dream? Rather, this is what I want to ask… … “It’s ridiculous to visit.”
I put my hand on my forehead and explained the current situation to her. When I briefly explained the throne made by the vampire lord and the dream realm created with the throne, Atalanta looked a little dazed..
“So, this is not my dream, this is your dream.?”
“No, that's a little different. There are a lot of gaps in the realm of dreams I built, so your dreams seem to have been filled.……
Before I could explain, I shook my head again..
“No, no. You weren't swept away by the black disk. how to get here
I came here?”
“what does that mean?”
Could it be that the Atalanta in front of me right now is not real, but a fantasy drawn from my memory? No, it feels too real like Mungchi, Heila, and Kol to be considered fantasy..
When I was confused, Atalanta opened her mouth with an ambiguous expression..
“I don't know what happened. It's not like I suddenly flew from 'Auduenne' to Raven's Cliff where you are..”
Auduenne?”
“huh. Where I am now is the port of Auduenne..”
“……When will the ‘now’ you speak of come from?‘?”
“When is now? It's early November.”
W ugh ”
The time is the same. So, was Atalanta of reality really brought to the domain of my dreams? why? why?
As I continued to worry while pressing my temples, Atalanta suddenly reached out and grabbed my buttocks..
“••••♦♦What are you doing??”
“Keep doing what you're doing. Never mind..”
“Don't worry, don't rub it, don't say that to me..”
As I said that and slightly narrowed my eyes, Atalanta clung to me and looked like she was about to burst into tears..
“Ah, please take a look at this. I'm having a really hard time these days..”
“……What on earth are you talking about?.”
“If it bothers you, would you like to go to my tent? I'll bleed soon anyway,”
“Hey, hey!”
Afterwards, it was none other than Hayla who calmed down Atalanta, who was on a rampage for a long time..
“It was alive.”
Atalanta, who was clinging to me and talking nonsense, slightly stiffened when she saw Hayla..
“......you‘?”
“long time no see.”
Atalanta's eyes sank coldly at Heila's mechanical greeting..
“……I thought it was a good dream, why are you here??”
“well.”
Heyla blinked her eyes with a calm, no, emotionless face as usual..
“Wouldn't it be a good dream if a lifesaver appears??”
“……A lifesaver? who?”
“ me.”
“Phew, you?”
Whether Atalanta laughed or not, Hayla continued speaking..
“I saved you when you were dying while looking for your mother, impaled by Ellen’s frost pick..”
“Ah, yes. Now I remember.”
Atalanta smiled and continued speaking..
“But what was the reason for doing that?……
“Ah, that's right. You were there to threaten Knicks, right? I wanted to get married so much?”
She muttered 'Ugh, that sucks' and shook her shoulders..
“And, were you alive? What I want to ask is that?”
Atalanta looked back at me with a wide smile..
“Why is that woman still alive? You're the crazy bitch who caught me and Ellen and threatened you..”
« O ” ......
Before I could even open my mouth, Hayla took a step forward..
“I paid the price for what I did. I will continue to take responsibility.”
“You paid the price? I didn't receive anything?”
“you don't deserve it.”
Heyla's eyes glowed pitch black..
“Because you wounded Mr. Hatanka and killed dozens of Longville's soldiers..”
“I was then-”
“I survived by begging for my life without paying anything. So you are our enemy now.”
“Alcarbatu. A bitch who knows nothing dares,”
“I never thought I would hear the word ‘dare’ from the Nude people..”
“Heh, yeah?”
Atalanta's golden eyes, with a deep smile, suddenly had a purple glow. The power of emptiness surged from the nape of her neck, and her torso hovered about 50 centimeters in the air..
Heyla melted one of the rings and glared at Atalanta. A dark red energy flickered in the pitch-black eyes, and the gloves with diamond-shaped petal patterns vibrated and absorbed magical power..
Mungchi, who was standing still, pulled out his cloud sword and stepped back. At the same time, he quickly loaded the small crossbow hanging from his left arm and looked at Atalanta and Hela in turn..
Cole, who was looking at the atmosphere with a slightly confused look, saw my expression and quickly put an arrow into the barrel..
“ha.”
Perhaps because my sigh was quite deep, the magical energy and life force that had been rushing through the campsite wavered a little. I touched my eyelids and opened my mouth..
“What are we going to do now?.”
As the group's gaze gathered, I sighed again and looked at Atalanta and Hela alternately..
“Come here.”
“......why?”
“I ask because I don’t know?”
As I asked back with a stern expression, Atalanta came bouncing towards me just as she was floating in the air. Hayla hesitated for a moment and came to stand in front of me..
“Atilia.”
“……You can call me Atalanta. It has already been announced to the clans.,”
“okay. Well then, Atalanta..”
Atalanta looked a little shocked and said, ‘Huh?’ I stammered. Then, when he saw my hand gesture, he finished levitating and landed on the ground..
“ first.”
I stroked my hair and continued talking..
“If you haven't seen each other in a while, how have you been, what has happened since you last broke up, and what happened when I heard that the power of the void was running rampant and dangerous? Don't you need to tell me things like that? There's a level of loosening up, but what are you going to do if you're just rubbing your butt??”
“No, I didn't do that on purpose, I was really having a hard time these days and needed comfort.,”
“Cut out the bullshit. If it weren't for Hayla's potion, you would have died. Right, no.?”
“……that's right.”
“I understand that you feel bad because you were taken hostage. But, let alone being a lifesaver, did I have to make a living and make a living out of someone who was my colleague? You won't even remember when you were a hostage.?”
“That•••••• Atalanta made a pitiful expression, but I didn't ease my expression. She pursed her lips a few times and lowered her head, saying 'hee'..
Next my eyes turned to Hayla..
“why are you like this all of a sudden?”
“ what?”
“You clearly knew that Atalanta wouldn't feel good about you, so you were sarcastic from the beginning..”
“……It's not like that.”
“No, really, where is the person who greets someone they haven’t seen in a long time by saying, ‘You’re alive?’?”
“And, I already told you what kind of situation Atalanta was in. It's not like I can say I don't remember.?”
“I remember.”
“Then why did you do that? Atalanta, I may have bad feelings towards you, but you don't have any, do you? Why is it like that all of a sudden??
When Hayla didn't respond, I pressed her and asked her out of frustration..
“I don't want to talk?”
“no.”
“Then why did you do that??”
“I don't know either.”
“I don't know? Ha, indeed-”
Just as I was getting angry and about to pour out more words, Hayla, who was slowly blinking, spoke in a hushed voice..
“Sorry.”
“••••••what?”
“Sorry. I won't.”
The gaze that was facing me has suddenly shifted down to around my chest. It looked so lonely that I kept my mouth shut..
He looked at Atalanta and Hela alternately for a moment before opening his mouth..
“……Now, what did you say you should do when you reconcile??”
Atalanta looked confused at my words, and Hayla blinked rapidly three or four times..
“Yes, Heyla.?”
“……Hug, tell me?”
“that's right.”
“Wait a minute, why did I bother?,”
Atalanta cut her off before she could complain..
“You were my colleague once, and I hope that one day you will be again..”
“Oh, that's me too,”
“Heyla is also my colleague. But it seemed like you and Hayla were itching to kill each other? So what do you think I will do??”
“……What are you going to do??”
“You'll have to choose one of the two. choose neither.”
Atalanta opened her mouth as if she was dumbfounded by my words..
“Ruqie dam, I know you're going to choose one or the other, but what do you mean by not choosing both??”
“Originally, the person who causes conflict is determined..”
“……No, ha, really..”
Atalanta continued to burst into laughter, and Hayla just blinked..
However, despite my continued urging, the two eventually hugged each other like wooden dolls..
Regardless of the relationship between the two, it was very nice to see it. Well, how can you not want to see two beautiful women hugging each other?.
As the two broke their embrace and were about to fall, I turned my head towards the back..
“Moongchi, you too, come here.”
“Eh, yes-”
Mungchi, who was standing there without thinking, was startled and quickly ran towards me. To the bundle that looks up at me with an innocent expression,
Taaak
“Sheesh!”
No matter what I asked, I fed him honey chestnuts..
The guy who had been hit by an unexpected blow was holding his forehead, his eyes were wide, and his chin was shaking slightly..
“Ah, ooh, ooh……
When I look at the water droplets in my eyes, it says 'How could you do this to me?' Would you say it's a face that literally looks like the sky has fallen?.
A part of my heart tingled, but I didn't care and opened my mouth..
“I was about to pull out a knife, that was it?”
“OOO ”
I —> —•
“Answer me quickly.”
Perhaps because of his stern attitude, Mungchi's eyes quickly became tinged with sorrow. With large water droplets hanging from the corners of his eyes, he pursed his lips..
“I won't say anything?”
Doridori.
“Why did you pull out the knife??”
……Doridori.
“I don't know what it means so say it in words.”
As the interrogation continued, Mungchi closed his eyes tightly. The wind made tears flow, but I did my best to ignore them..
“Why did you pull out the knife??”
“It’s so cool, *sigh* It’s so cool,”
“I'm not sorry, but why did you choose me?.”
At the cold question, Mungchi closed his eyes tightly and only shook his shoulders..
“I don't want to talk?”
“No, *sniff* no..”
“I told you to use your knife carefully. But why did you do that? Like I always did, I was just going to kill him if something came up.?”
I asked that question several times, but Mung-chi only shed tears and was unable to give a proper answer. I was in a state where I couldn't have a conversation, whether it was discipline or something.…….
“……Ugh, I lost..”
When I said that and held out my hand, the bundle burst out crying and clung to my waist..
I sighed and cried sadly and begged the kid..
“You must always be careful when using a sword, no, when taking someone's life. right?”
“Yes, yes, that's right, *sigh* yo.”
“You shouldn't be swayed by the atmosphere or guided by instinct and pull out the sword. You have to judge for yourself. I have to decide for myself whether this is a situation where I should step in or whether I should pull out a sword..”
This is what I said to myself too.
Now that he has entered the realm of dreams, all of his ferocious and cruel side has been torn away, but before, he often went on a rampage like a madman and enjoyed killing people..
I was afraid that Mongchi might fall into such terrible pleasure. I gently stroked him with such concern..
