Chapter 528
My Villains Episode 528
68. To the capital(1)
“I almost killed those strict people... … . I told you to be quiet, why don't you listen??”
Whether I hit it or not, the mind of the smooth snake seemed to be caught up in the apricot in front of it. He doesn't even pay attention to the apricot that has been cut in half and the seeds removed, and only flicks his tongue towards the intact apricot. I felt it before, but this guy is really greedy..
Shhh, shhh.
The guy who was tapping the water droplet-covered surface immediately opened his mouth wide and swallowed an apricot that was about six to seven times bigger than his head in one go..
For a moment, the area below my throat became grotesquely swollen. The snake's body quickly shrunk, like the air coming out of a balloon. The apricot's incredible digestive power, unbecoming of its small body of less than 30 centimeters in length, melted the apricot in an instant..
“Ugh. I don't know what this is doing.”
“Why, there's a problem?”
“Isn’t there then??”
Ellen, who was sitting across from me, glanced at the snake and sighed softly, as if she didn't like something..
“Don't you think there's too little tension to be sticking your head into the dragon's maw? “Even if we remove the existing risk factors, it’s not enough, so what are we going to do with all the burden on us?” “Hey, what a load. “I listen to you.” I made a fuss and plugged the snake's ears with both index fingers. Of course, snakes do not have external ears like humans, and considering that the snake threw itself at its next target, a piece of meat, it was a completely futile effort..
“I'm not in the mood to play around?”
“Still, keep your words to yourself. He's smarter than you think?”
“……let's not talk.”
The guy shook his head and took a sip of cold water, but I reassured him in a relaxed tone..
“And, he also has some power. As long as he maintains this appearance, he doesn't do much except look cute, but once he transforms, it definitely helps..”
“That's probably true when you transform. But poi. It has changed its appearance at least once so far when it was needed.?”
I nodded right away..
“huh. In Direnz. I don't remember?”
“Yeah, just that one time. Almost two years ago, when I first came out of the egg..”
The identity of the guy who devoured not only the juicy meat but also the bunch of potatoes was none other than Hrunting..
Hrunting, which was originally an archaic long sword, was transformed into a large egg, although the exact reason is unknown. After a few months, the egg broke and the creature in front of me jumped out..
“Well, isn't it because he's strong in crises? After Direnz, there wasn't much danger... … . Anyway, if you show ‘that thing’ just once during your journey, you’ll have more than enough money to pay for the meal..”
‘'That time' refers to the ability that this snake showed off in Derentz the year before last. He clung to Hayla, who had deployed iron-blooded armor, and instantly transformed her into a terrible and powerful monster, an 'artist'..
At that time, what Haila gained through that transformation was not only long, sharp nails, thick and sharp horns, a long, flexible tail, and fighting skills based on those. According to her testimony, while wearing the mask of an artist, she was able to develop blood painting techniques on a different level than before..
“Instead, I'll have to take the same risk over and over again..”
Is it because I didn't fully see the majesty that Hrunting showed at that time? Even though I explained the guy's potential, Ellen still had a perplexed expression on her face..
“Snakes will be added to the Red Knight's pet list. It might be better than the Bicorn that occupied the top row, but I doubt Patriarch Zacharis would think so either..”
“......Uh, now that I think about it.”
As I was watching Hrunting's predation, a thought occurred to me and I looked back at Ellen..
“This guy looks exactly like you when we first met..”
“••••••me?" "uh." Ellen's features were suddenly distorted. Considering the fact that the guy's face was smaller than my fist, he was showing his disapproval by making the most of the limited free space..
Anyway, I smiled and continued talking..
“The potential is great, but right now it's not even worth it. It's similar to not listening to me even if it kills me..”
“……Not even a single thing, right? When do I,”
“It's somewhat similar to the fact that if it becomes known what you have around, your personal life will be in danger. It's the same as being cute enough to take that risk.?”
Steedman, who was drinking beer, secretly pretended to vomit, and Goleman, who was peeling a lemon, gave a look that seemed similar to respect. Ellen pursed her pink lips as if speechless and barely managed to utter a word..
“……I guess he's crazy.”
“So, don't hate me too much. Because he’s just like you from back in the day..”
“Stop talking nonsense. Because I know what you want to say.”
Ellen, who gave a cold glare, muttered unnaturally, 'Ah, it's hot', stood up, and opened the wooden window about a span. It looks like he's trying to hide his red cheeks, but he's too slow to avoid my eyes..
“oh. trunnion!”
It was around that time that Hrunting’s meal was finished. Moongchi, who was examining the snake with sparkling eyes, called me in an excited voice..
“dance, dance!”
Looking back at the bundle's fuss, Hrunting noticed that the lower part of his body was swollen, as if he had overeaten to the point that his formidable digestive power was put to shame. The guy hissed his tongue as if he was in a good mood, while holding his head upright and shaking his body from side to side..
Mungchi burst out in laughter and shook his shoulders. Hrunting, who was watching the guy's movements with his pebble-like eyes, shook his body to the rhythm of his opponent, and the bunch clapped their hands almost to the point of falling asleep..
This was the first time Hrunting left Heyla's arms..
Just as she had always done when she was in egg form, Hayla took care of him like her own child. Perhaps aware of her sincerity, Hrunting also followed her as if she were his mother..
That's why, the night before leaving Eisbowald, I was surprised when Heila suggested that I take Hrunting with me..
“Are you okay? If I'm separated from you, the kid won't even eat.”
“Not so these days. “It’s grown quite a bit so far.” “… … Did you grow up?” Heyla nodded, stroking the head of the Hrunting that was curled up in a small knot on my chest..
“I shed my skin twice. He has grown in his own way, and he no longer whines meaninglessly..”
“okay?”
“If I'm by your side, I won't be afraid of being separated from you. It was explained well a month ago..”
When I made a strange expression, Hayla blinked and added,.
“I'm not sure if I understand it completely..”
“I didn't know that the two of you could even communicate..”
“It's just a feeling. I feel like you understand what I'm saying... … . Because he is such a smart and mysterious child..”
“Is that so?.”
“It will definitely be helpful in your work in the royal capital. These days, I even transform myself as requested. Very rarely, and only in a few forms,.”
“really?”
“huh. I want to see you?”
Heyla tapped Hrunting's nose with her fingertip. Transparent scales like mucous membranes split, and pitch black eyes turned to her..
“Now, focus..”
When Hayla raised her index finger, the snake's gaze turned towards it. She looked at Hrunting with a somewhat nervous look and gave orders in a firm tone..
“turns into a sword.”
As Hrunting licked his tongue, Heila ordered again..
“turns into a sword.”
Shhh.
“hurry. turns into a sword.”
The guy seemed to have lost interest and just turned his head and hissed. Hayla pursed her lips. Then he gave an order in a slightly softer tone..
“Turns into a sword... … Will you give it to me??”
Hrunting flicked his tongue a couple of times and then kissed my chest again. No, it drew a circle in three or four layers and bit its own tail..
Ki Ying.
The moment I closed my eyes, it turned into a bracelet. It was a bracelet in the shape of a vivid snake that seemed to come to life at any moment - no, it could actually come to life..
When Heyla looked down at Hrunting with a mean look, I picked up the bracelet and burst into laughter..
“Uh, it's not shaped like a knife like you might think..”
“……I'm doing this because I'm embarrassed..”
“okay?”
“okay.”
She took the bracelet away and gave orders several times as if to prove her point..
However, Hrunting never responded, and I also had no intention of just watching him imitate a psychotic man criticizing an inanimate object..
“Hrunting is nice, but I need to finish saying goodbye..”
“No, wait. Will you teach me what to be careful about when taking Hrunting with me?,”
‘A gasping sound like ‘Ahhhh’ swallowed up the end of the sentence..
Every time Hayla tried to say something, I attacked her harshly..
After a while, I close my eyes and tiptoe.
By the time she got back up, she seemed to have forgotten what she was going to say. Meanwhile, Hayla's hands were holding on to the bracelet tightly..
