My Villains Episode 100
26. Fever (1)
Meow.
It’s a bit empty.
A few days ago, several birds were singing in chorus.
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Styrofoam, vinyl, plastic, piled under a telephone pole.
Cats.
Among the small cats lying in a row, only one is crying and crying.
Due to the hot weather, the garbage pile stench is vibrating.
“Aww smell.”
He pulled the collar up to his nose and squatted down.
Trying not to touch the breathless children, I picked up the squeaky one with my index finger.
Ain’t Ain’t.
A cat that can’t even open its eyes wriggles.
Shall I take you?
I’m 100 years old with nothing to do anyway.
What if I go back to school?
back to school? are you going to
well.
I held the cat in my arms and immediately regretted it. Coffee or something sticky.
“hey. do you want to live with me?” meow.
It’s nice to hear the helpless cry.
Take it home, wash and dry it.
Feeding milk… No?
cat milk powder oh that’s annoying
I headed to the veterinary hospital with the tightly wrapped cat.
“You shouldn’t pick up kittens carelessly. Mother might come back.”
An unexpected reproachful tone.
“Have you washed? If the smell changes, the mother cannot recognize the offspring. It’s a big deal.”
The nurse intimidates her with bowel movements, massage, and body temperature maintenance.
He said he couldn’t save his child with a complacent mental state.
He stabbed the nurse to death and brought the formula.
Bappuri ate powdered milk well.
I fell asleep with my stomach full.
A hum comes out.
“Are you happy?”
I turned my head at the familiar voice.
A girl standing tall on the porch.
“Han Ji-won? you…
are dead how?
Jiwon is split in two.
A teenage girl who looks exactly like her older sister.
A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
“Are you happy?”
“I”
A blonde girl blocks the way.
“You don’t have to answer.”
“Ellen I am.”
“are you okay.”
Support is on fire.
Ellen hugged me and patted me on the shoulder.
“are you okay. are you okay.”
The next day was busy getting ready to leave the road all day.
It is said that the sea route to the west here takes at least a week, and up to 15 days. In reality, it was natural that there was a lot to prepare for the long journey, as it was not like a game where you showed a video and moved across regions.
It is fortunate that the schedule was delayed by a day. If I had planned to leave today as I first thought, I might have left the city in the middle of the evening.
Once again, the equipment was checked.
In the last battle, I killed the robber baron. Thanks to that, his black plate armor naturally became my prey.
However, I couldn’t even find where the rotten helmet went, and the breastplate was worn out because it was cracked almost as much as a span of the palm of my hand.
He could roughly apply the iron plate, but in that case, it would be better to repair the armor he wore before.
Still, he was able to salvage the rest of the set except for the helmet and breastplate. Craftsmen in the workshop adjusted it to fit my body, and the breastplate was replaced with a shortened coat of plate.
I thought about buying a shield as much as the armor was strong, but the artisans at the workshop made one. It was an object made by wrapping scales around the bones of the underground lord.
Considering my taste, I made it into a one shield, and the performance was quite good. I’m still used to sword fighting and I feel mentally stable, so I decided to use a shield in the end.
Well, if you become more proficient in two-handed swordsmanship, then you can give up your shield.
Oh, I also bought some javelins. I’ve used it a few times in actual combat, and I’ve practiced it while training with knights, but my hands got cold.
In addition, I bought two daggers, two pairs of leather boots and leather gloves, and several sets of clothes.
Ellen still insisted on not wearing the armor even if she died.
I don’t like it, what can I do? Instead, I bought some sturdy leather clothes. However, he had less resistance to wearing leather vests, perhaps because he had experience wearing leather vests.
Ghmm I can’t stop arrows with something like this. I’ll have to hit it with my body.
Utequai didn’t need to take care of him. He doesn’t even wear armor, and he
buys shoes and pants for himself.
After checking the equipment, I stopped at a jeweler and bought three diamonds.
In this world, diamonds were not simply rare gems. It’s a very valuable material often sought by wizards and alchemists. Thanks to this, the market price was fairly constant.
I bought such diamonds for no other reason, but because I had too many gold and silver coins.
There were over 60 gold coins and about 200 silver coins, so it was too cumbersome. That’s why I bought a small and light diamond.
The next thing I took was groceries.
It’s a basic meal. The employers said they’d take care of it, but… Utequa and I have huge meals. Perhaps even if we set out with a full load of groceries instead of goods, we would run out of supplies before we reached Longville or the West.
So I bought a week’s worth of groceries. There is also the issue of shelf life, and if it gets too bulky, you can’t carry it around.
And since he said he would stop at several stopovers along the way, there would be no worries.
In addition to that, he brought miscellaneous items such as shovels, hammers, ropes, candles, torches, leather bags, ointments, and bandages.
After that, let alone the weight, it was so bulky that I couldn’t carry it on my back.
Ellen clicked her tongue as Utequai and I whimpered and packed in the backyard of the inn.
“Don’t be stupid, get some groceries. Who packs ten chunks of ham on a trip?”
“Oh yeah, it’s only 5 kilos at best, right? And how important your protein intake is.”
“Oh yeah? Then, isn’t salted lamb and fish meat protein?”
“You get tired of eating only ham every day.”
“…ha. And what about smoked herring? I hate that smell!”
“I won’t tell you to eat. Don’t worry, we’ll eat them all up.”
“It’s because the smell is all over the other luggage!”
Ou Tequai shook his head as Ellen continued to complain.
“It’s worth knowing, bitch. He is short because he covers food. eat a lot to get big Covering the girl’s food, even her breasts and buttocks-”
“You crazy savage bastard!”
A gust of wind blew Utequai in the face with a trembling shout.
“Kuhhh!”
“Ugh yumma! You are pouring your burden!”
Packing, which had been so difficult, was solved neatly when the three knights of the prince appeared. “No, what
did the
sirs do up to this point…
Saying so, Sir Langboldt handed me the reins he had been holding.
“Spotted?”
“Right. Isn’t that your booty?”
“Oh yes it is.”
In fact, taking care of the horse wasn’t a bit of a hassle. That’s why I left the spotted swords with Prince Ulkar’s cavalry and half forgot about them…
“Thank you for your note. I was just about to say something…
as I scratched my head, Lord Ankir burst into laughter.
“Every knight needs a horse. Whether used as pack horses or for combat. Don’t think it’s a bother and take good care of it, Lord Phoenix.”
“I understand.”
“Loading a horse into a boat is going to be quite a painstaking job, so you’ll have to be very careful.”
“…Ah what. It should be.” After solving the luggage problem like that, the three knights recklessly dragged me into the inn and ordered a lot of alcohol and food.
“No Sirs. What is this all of a sudden?”
When I put on a puzzled expression, Sir Langbolt said with a solemn face.
“I left to answer the call of fate, but aren’t you and us knights serving one lord? What is so strange about having a drink to soothe the regret of parting?”
…What is this old man talking about?
Before I could say anything, Utequai, who came in after me, opened her mouth.
“Alcohol is important to warriors. Not with me. I have a place to stop by.”
“…stop by? where are you going Even though I don’t know anyone in the city.”
“There is a regular store.”
He smiled while saying that, and that sinister smile… It was the same face from the package illustration that spawned numerous memes.
ugh crazy guy You have to get sick to come to your senses.
Ellen, meanwhile, shrugged and nodded.
“Good. Anyway, I was trying to sort things out today. Even if you are there, you will only get in the way.”
“What do you have to organize?”
“The laboratory has been emptied. Throw away what to throw away and take care of what to keep.”
After saying that, he went up to the second floor and left.
After that… it was an obvious drinking party.
An obvious drinking party where you talk about your dreams, denounce the greedy nobles, talk about the battles you’ve been through and the monsters you’ve killed, and paint the scenery of your hometown.
Grania and Arnal, who came to say goodbye, joined the drinking party, but the topic of conversation did not change much.
Then, suddenly, I felt anew as I emptied a glass and had a natural conversation between the mercenaries and the knights.
It’s been less than two months since I came to this world, but
I think I’ve adjusted quite well.
“I’m going to die.”
Maybe it was because I drank until the film started playing, so my stomach was swollen and my bones ached from the morning.
I’m not in the right condition for the day the damn adventure begins.
After washing my face with well water and arming myself, I slowly come to my senses.
I went down to the first floor with my luggage, but no matter how much I look around, I can’t see the face I’m looking for.
“Mr. How about Daria?”
“huh? Weren’t we together?”
“I am with you. I couldn’t even talk properly because I was drinking with the knights…
I searched inside and outside the inn, including her room, but Daria was nowhere to be found.
where did you go I couldn’t even properly say goodbye last night…
Thinking about that makes me feel sorry for Daria.
We had trysts every night and acted like lovers, and when it was time to leave, we didn’t discuss it once… Wow, now that I think about it, I’m a total trash.
There was some time, as Ellen was still loitering in her room. I ran frantically and searched the market and even the plaza, but I couldn’t find Daria.
By the time they returned to the inn, Ellen and U Tequai were waiting in front of the inn.
“Ha ha ha. Did you see Daria Daria?” “I didn’t see it.”
“…I didn’t see it either.”
Ou Tequwai, who was scratching his stomach and chewing on fish, also shook his head, as did Ellen, who had a pale face, probably because she was not awake.
“Ha, where did you go…
I haven’t known you for a long time, but he’s not the kind of kid who would disappear so suddenly. Maybe he’s hiding somewhere because he doesn’t want to see me leave?
As I removed my helmet and ran my hair through it, Utequai opened his mouth.
“The ship leaves. miss.”
“…sorry. Wait a minute.”
I quickly ran into the inn and left a letter.
After scrawling random words and leaving it to the owner, I headed for the pier.
I constantly looked back until I passed the salt castle and the street vendors and trading posts that had regained their vibrancy.
Even after boarding the ship, I passed the entrance to the bay and looked back even when South Harbor was as small as a fingernail.
It was a short relationship, but I wanted to properly say goodbye
.
With only deep regret and belated sadness, I left South Harbor.
