Chapter 99
My Villains Episode 099
25. rainy season(4)
After returning to the inn and sitting across from Ellen, I first gave him the drug..
“Is this really okay for me to drink? Isn’t it for no reason that I have a weakness for the prince??”
“If I thought this alone would be a weakness, I should be a servant to the prince right now. Don't talk nonsense and drink it quickly.”
“Okay.”
Ellen frowned but took a sip of the pill..
“how is it? I feel like it's coming?”
“ O “Ugh” —T5".
Ellen moaned softly and wiggled her toes. Then he spun his ankle and his knee also twitched..
“Oh, oh! Hey, it moves well.?”
“……My knees don't work well yet.”
“The waist and pelvis?”
At my question, Ellen closed her eyes tightly and sweated profusely. Then the thighs and pelvis began to twitch and move little by little.!
“That's odd. Isn’t it normal for recovery to start from the area closest to the waist? Why do you move your feet first?.”
“Ugh, I don’t know..”
“How does it feel??”
As I tensed my calves and knees, Ellen shrugged her shoulders and clenched her fists..
“Ugh, go, tickle.”
“Huh? It tickles me what I did?”
“I don't know, how do I know? I said it tickles when it tickles..”
After briefly checking, it seemed like my senses had returned to close to 100%. From the knees down, he had almost recovered, to the point where he could stand up straight if he held my arm..
However, I think the tickling is a bit excessive... … I'm a little worried that this may be due to some kind of side effect..
“Hmm, let’s drink the remaining three bottles one by one. I recovered this much after seven illnesses, so I will be completely cured after ten illnesses..”
Ellen nodded quietly at my expectant words. Seeing that he doesn't look very happy, I guess he's still not sure that it will be completely cured..
After putting Ellen back to her seat, I also sat across from her..
And after hesitating for a moment, I opened my mouth..
“But Ellen.”
“ huh‘?”
““Can you tell me this?” Saying that, he handed Ellen a small piece of sheep vellum. It was a note written about the pursuers at the Palace of La-Palaise..
“……Why is this, what is this??”
“The prince gave it to me.”
Ellen's face hardened. Then he took a deep breath for a moment and opened his mouth with difficulty..
“What did you hear??”
“huh. Well, who are you and what is your situation? “I heard something like that.” Blue eyes shook violently.
“……so?”
“……huh? 'So'?”
“So, what are you going to do? You were disappointed in me..”
“disappointment? Why the sudden disappointment? What are you talking about??”
When I opened my eyes and asked again, he answered in a hushed voice..
“I lied to you.”
“ what?”
“You didn't say that you ran away, or that you were being chased.,”
“Wait, wait. Ellen.”
Suddenly, wet eyes looked up at me. I was embarrassed and continued speaking, clapping my hands in the air..
“I think I'm misunderstanding something. I'm not questioning you or reprimanding you or anything like that..”
“......uh?”
“I don't think you lied, and I'm not angry or disappointed. I just asked because I wanted to hear from you about this story. “You don’t have to say anything if you’re uncomfortable.” Ellen pursed her lips in response to my dissuasion. When the water filled with sinab was splashing on my big eyes, I said, “Ugh. Hey, give me your hand.”
“Ugh, uhh?”
“Ask for my hand.”
When Ellen showed signs of hesitation, I quickly grabbed his hand..
Folded hands. It's a pretty familiar feeling now..
“Ellen, I told you so..”
“••••••“What?” “I’m on your side no matter what.”.
Let's not be shaken. I don't remember?”
“Remember, me. Yeah, I remember.”
“So, um, there's no need to feel sorry for having this much. I really don't care.”
After looking into the pearly eyes, I mustered up the courage to wipe them with my fingertips..
“Ugh. Why do you cry so often? It hurts my heart.”
Ellen closed her eyes tightly. Even though I tried so hard to wipe them away, more tears than I could handle flowed down..
“Uh, hey. don't cry.”
“I'm sorry, *sigh* I'm sorry.”
“There's no need to be sorry?”
“I should have told you *sigh* because if I did, I wouldn't know how you would feel.,”
“Yeah, I understand, I understand..”
“My name. It's not Ellen, it's Elena. *Ugh* Erenaar, Radhakaline. It's a lie to say you received a mission from Master..”
“uh. Yeah, that's right.”
……I knew it. My conscience is pricked for no reason.
“That, Ellen. Don't cry,”
“Master, Master is.”
The boy sobbed non-stop, his face scrunched up. I covered my eyes with my sleeves, but it couldn't hide the tears streaming down my pale cheeks and jawline..
“On my birthday, while I was eating sautéed food *sigh*, an order thief suddenly appeared. *Sigh* I can't do anything, so Master, Galnar, that bastard.,”
“Hey, stop crying.”
Seeing her cry with her shoulders shaking makes me feel frustrated and heavy in my heart..
“I didn't do anything, *sniff* I, Master, the palace's idiots, framed me, *sniff**”
Without realizing it, I stretched out my hand and hugged the guy who was speaking gibberish. Ellen buried her face in her chest and sobbed louder..
“It's okay, it's okay. Speak slowly.”
I patted my head carefully, wondering if it would break or break. The scent of lime spreads as the flawless blonde hair flows..
“Poi, *sigh, huh* poi.” Ellen rambled on for a long time. I listened to his story while matching the scenario and puzzle in my memory..
By the time the story came to a close, Ellen eventually fell asleep from exhaustion. With both arms wrapped around my waist.
“……Ugh. Maybe you like this crybaby?.”
I placed Ellen on my lap and gently brushed her hair..
“……Due to such circumstances, I decided to leave..”
The people sitting around the table looked at each other in bewilderment at my explanation, which omitted many things..
Except Utequai..
“South Harbor, it’s a good city. But it is not a place where warriors live. I'm going where my mother leads me.”
He said that and took a sip of beer. It means you understand..
Meanwhile, Grania sitting next to her had a strange expression on her face..
“So, when are you leaving??”
“hmm. If I wake up early tomorrow and prepare for the trip, I think I won't leave before lunch..”
“……How urgent is it that you leave so suddenly??”
“It just so happened..”
Arnal laughed at my carefree answer..
“Wait a minute, Phoenix. You were ordained by Prince Ulkar.?”
“Yeah, that's how it happened..”
“What is ‘that’s how it happened’… … . Are you saying you will leave the city as soon as you are ordained by the prince? by yourself?”
“I heard Ellen and Utequai are going together too.?”
“No, anyway. Since you received the land, you can leave like this.?”
“……How did you know I got the land??”
Arnal gapes at my question..
“Wow, crazy. The rumor was true.”
“Are you fishing now??”
As I frowned, Arnal waved his hand and changed the subject..
“That's enough. You received a sum of money from the prince, an appointment, and land, but you just threw it away. The prince said he would obediently let me go.?”
“huh. They told me to come later if I feel like serving in the military..”
“What on earth? By any chance, I didn't receive a separate request from the prince.?”
Arnal, who was saying that, looked around and lowered his voice..
“By no means should I take the 1st prince’s head.?”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? It's not like that.”
Grania, who was eating cheese, nodded..
“Well, I can roughly understand Prince Ulkar’s intentions. where are you going?”
Yeah, that's the problem. where are you going.
“First of all, I plan to climb Mt. Graduil..”
“……I'm going to leave the south?”
“Yeah, whatever. That's how it happened.”
While the setting of Chapter 2 is South Harbor, Chapter 3 takes place in ‘Cabin’ and Chapter 4 takes place in ‘Ray Even’s Cliff’..
Well, the scenario won't go as is. Because I have fully realized the gap between games and reality through past experience..
Still, the fact remains that Ellen must be cleared of her name..
Therefore, our immediate task is to catch the spell thief Saitz. To do so, you must go to 'Raven's Cliff' in the central part of Milanol Kingdom..
Daria, who was sitting quietly on one side, her eyes sparkled..
“Well, I'll go past Longville.?”
“Longville? well……
No matter how much I think about it, Longville is the name of the area targeted in Chapter 3. Thieves are swarming, and their leader is…….
“……robber baron.”
“huh? What are you talking about suddenly??”
“no. no, nothing.”
Crazy, why did I just remember this now??
The people who took over Longville in the game were the robber baron and his men.!
But he died in my hands. So what happens to Longville??
“Well then, poi.”
“Uh, uh?”
“If you are going to leave, it is safer to go as a group than as a group of three.?”
“I guess so? why‘?”
When I nodded, Daria blushed..
““Then, how about going with other merchants?” “Merchants?”
“huh. There are merchants who brought grain from near the royal capital, and they say they are returning after finishing their business..”
“however?”
“They say they're looking for mercenaries. I said I was a little anxious on the way back..”
“Top escort... … . But, near the royal road? I don't plan on going there yet.”
Grania, who had her arms crossed, shook her head at my negative words..
“You don't necessarily have to go there?”
“The reason the merchant heading north is looking for additional mercenaries is probably because of the remnants of the Magic Bandits..”
“ ah.”
In the last battle, the robber baron, the leader of the magic bandits, lost his life to me. The magic bandits, who had lost their focus, split into groups of at least ten and at most fifty to sixty and scattered in all directions..
“Looks like those bastards are still running wild.?”
“Guys like Ulrek and Greer were vicious thieves from the beginning. There's no way they'll go farming just because the boss is dead..”
‘‘Half- orc Ulmec’, ‘Beast Greer’. These guys appear with random names in the boss phase of Chapter 2. Since 'Scale D'Ogre Harklio' appeared, I thought no other random names would appear, but I was wrong..
Seeing those two guys running wild, the six Nameds. No, Harklio is dead, so it would be convenient to think that all five Nameds are still alive..
“After all, it's the plains around here that they're wandering around..”
“Ah, then?”
“The Sayburn and Liedburn regions are a bit dangerous, so you'll need mercenaries, but by the time you pass Marva, there will be no way up..”
Saven is the name of the region where South Harbor belongs, and Leadburn is the town next to it. But, where is ‘Marva’??
Daria spoke to me as I was lost in thought..
“Those merchants were also passing through Longville..”
“……ah. Longville was the Marva region.
go?”
“huh. Because the south of Mount Graduil is the Marva region. How about signing a contract on the condition that you only go as far as Longville? I could make money, and they would give me food..”
Umm.
It's definitely safer if you have a lot of company..
Also, neither I nor Ellen nor Utequoi know anything about the surrounding geography. It would be much more convenient to accompany the merchants rather than trying to find a crude map..
But the problem is, our destination is
They say you can't go out. The three of us have become such celebrities that if we were to join the commercial world, word would spread quickly........
Oh my head hurts.
“first… … . Can I meet those merchants??”
“I heard you're on a drunken pony, wait a minute!”
“Uh, Daria!”
Daria left the inn without me having time to stop her..
Arnal smiled heartily while looking at the back..
“That bitch, that was very sweet. It's cute.”
“……What kind of man do you talk like?.”
At that time, Lindsey, who had brought out the grilled pork ribs and onions, said she was worried..
“Daria, did you go out to the Drunken Pony? I wish I didn't go through the alley.……
“Kid, what are you so worried about? If you're a drunk pony, you're just around the corner from here..”
Lindsey answered Arnal’s question with a scared expression..
“That's right. I heard that a dead person was found today too..”
“also? He, the ‘artist’’?”
“yes. Even this time it's near the square..”
“Wow, that guy is really crazy. A square is where the prince is, right? Unless the liver comes out of the stomach……
When Arnal clicked his tongue, Grania, who was cutting the cheese, frowned in displeasure..
“Why on earth do people in this city give such a nickname to a crazy person who tears people's bodies to pieces as an 'artist'??”
“My nickname is very cool. Red bear, wise and powerful.”
“……I'm glad you like it, Mr. Hatanka..”
Lindsay blinked her big eyes and lowered her voice..
“By the way, there is a reason why he is nicknamed an artist..”
“What is it?”
“All the dead people have strangely little blood..”
“however? why is that‘?”
“The criminal took the blood to paint. I want to use it as paint.!”
“Haha, really? It's so scary?”
When Lindsey made a scary expression as if trying to scare her, Arnal laughed and ruffled the girl's hair..
Contrary to Lindsay's worries, Daria quickly returned to the inn. I was with three merchants..
Ellen, I, and Utequai were the most famous trio in the city, so the merchants seemed very happy to see us..
The pay is good and it's nice to be able to ride in a carriage..
After thinking about it for a while, I spoke alone with a middle-aged man named ‘Perso’, the representative of the merchants..
When I finished my private meeting and came down to the first floor, Daria quickly came up to me and asked..
“Poi, what happened??”
“Oh, that's it.”
As I quietly scratched my chin, Mr. Perso said with a sad expression..
“Unfortunately, the contract was not concluded..”
“Ah, yes?”
“Instead, I decided to introduce other merchants to Lord Phoenix..”
“Another merchant.?”
When Daria turned around with wide eyes, I shrugged and answered..
“When I thought about it, I thought it would be more convenient to take a boat. I'm planning to turn west and go to the central region..”
“……Don’t you have to cross the plateau to get there? It will take about the same amount of time anyway..”
“Oh, yes, but.”
As I trailed off, Mr. Perso intervened..
“From what I heard, they've eliminated monsters five times in the past few months. Once you pass the sea, the journey will be fairly smooth after that..”
Daria let out a small sigh at that explanation..
“……I see “The sea is scary.” "huh? what?”
“No, no. What more do you want to eat? potato? duck?”
“Well, no perch.?”
“Anyway, I really like fish. Wait a minute. I'll fry it up soon.”
Daria smiled brightly and headed to the kitchen..
“……Why are you so excited??”
After watching her for a moment, I emptied my glass of beer and waited for the merchants that Mr. Perso would introduce..
