#604. don’t forget

Elemental Daeran.
A catastrophe in which runaway spirits tried to destroy the North American continent.
Although the Spirit Conflict ended with Limon’s activities, many fallen spirits still remained in North America.
And they had only one purpose.
just killing humans.
because he is not a person
unchanged.
not even tired.
I don’t even regret it.
Corrupted spirits have been repeatedly killing humans or being defeated since the time of the spirits.
There was no racial difference between men and women, old and young, rich and weak, and poor.
In an unwelcome sense, it could be seen as the realization of true equality.
So, for a long time in North America, gunmen were hired to protect villages.
However, not all contrasts can be perfect.
It has always been a common occurrence in North America for villages to collapse overnight, either because the gunslingers were not good enough or because they saved money and hired too few.
The same was true of the Blackfoot tribe, which died out about 200 years ago.
obviously sad.
All too common at the same time.
But there was one crucial difference between the fall of Blackfoot and thousands of other towns.
only one.
that there were survivors.
Of course, for the first time in hundreds of years, the fallen spirits that had been indiscriminately killing were stopped.
A newborn baby born with outstanding talent as one of the best elementalists in history, who made himself raised by that fallen spirit.
If only that was it.
Even if you don’t know a little common sense, the newborn baby might have grown up relatively normal.
Indians, especially in tribes with spiritists, orphans raised by parenting spirits were not that rare.
The problem is that the spirit that raised her is corrupted.
Corrupted spirits, unable to make normal judgments as much as they were damaged by the runaway, did not raise her as a human at all.
Instead, he ‘bred’ it in a way he knew.
So under the care of the spirits.
After learning the language of the spirits.
Dig burrows and make nests.
separate food.
hunting animals
bordering on humans.
Communicate in the spirit language.
Hierarchy in the herd, etc.
Learning all kinds of ways to survive.
A girl who grew up with the Spirit’s breeding manual.
That is the sword spirit.
Although born as a human, he was a wild child raised as a beast by a spirit.
That’s why she couldn’t understand humans.
If you are hungry, you can hunt other animals, but the foolishness of sowing seeds and digging up the ground to grow tasteless grass.
It’s enough to have food for the winter, but the greed of wanting and collecting more even after already stocking up a warehouse full of food.
The duality of fighting and killing each other for reasons that are not understood while working in unity like ants.
Yes.
To be honest.
She didn’t like humans.
It wasn’t that he hated humans at all.
To put it bluntly, indifference.
look like a cow chicken.
Or like a beast looking at a stone.
He lived alone in the wild all his life, not paying attention to the human species itself.
It’s not just that it’s hard to understand them.
In the first place, to her, most things in this world were nothing more than a night’s dream, just closing and opening her eyes and disappearing.
But that’s why it’s more sad.
The longing is deep…
Forgot.
Like a rocking chair in front of a fireplace.
hot in the sunlight.
On top of the roof that sways pleasantly with the waves.
Suri, an Indian girl who had been sleeping curled up alone, suddenly opened her eyes.
And after rubbing my eyes a few times as if I was washing away the stinging sunlight.
stretched for a long time
Flexible waist.
Arms outstretched along the roof.
Up to the high pulled hips.
If it even had a tail, even that would have stood upright and then loosened up.
The running repairman, who relaxed like a cat, parted his pink lips for the last time.
“Haam…”
Maybe it’s because he was so deep in his sleep.
Turn on the stretch like that.
I even yawned.
Nevertheless, Suri, who was still running with sleepy eyes, looked around Booth.
rippling waves.
flowing scenery.
The running repairman, who tilted his head at the unfamiliar scenery, remembered belatedly that this place was a sailboat built by Limon.
And I shook my head.
‘Admiration. The lead male is also amazing.’
I could tell because she had once tried to cross the Pacific Ocean on a raft she had made.
How great is this sailboat.
It was different from the comfort of a bed right now.
If the raft he made was as good as this, he might have really been able to cross the Pacific Ocean.
While admiring alone.
growl
The running repair licked his lips.
And juseom juseom took off his clothes.
From colorful feather hats to thin leather clothes that covered only minimal parts, even the scabbard on the waist.
After taking off everything and being naked without a single thread on.
With one dagger in her hand and the other in her mouth, the girl threw herself off the roof.
with a splash!
Drops of water splashing high.
Cool river water to wet the body.
Follow the wriggling movement in it.
The moment the running eagle digs deep into the water like a slender smelt.
The large prey that was loitering in the water opened its mouth wide and attacked.
The two daggers in her hands crossed.
And…
after a while.
moaning
The running repairman, who came back to the sailboat, wiped off the water from his body.
And what I was holding in one hand.
In other words, he pulled the long, thick tail and pulled the crocodile with a long tongue out to the sailboat with a
dagger stuck between his eyes.
Is it because of too much weight?
One of the logs on either side sank deeply, tilting slightly to the sailboat.
But I didn’t mind running repairs.
I brought a nice game today, so I’ll be praised by the boss male until I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
without even wearing clothes.
With proud anticipation.
Just dragging the crocodile.
I just entered a small house in the middle of the ship.
“…!”
However, Suri, who was running right after that, had no choice but to open her eyes wide.
It was because I saw
the male lead lying limp on the floor like a corpse.
And the figure of a female with green hair stabbing a sharp weapon into his body.
Chaeeng!
Pull out the dagger from between the eyes of the crocodile you were dragging.
The time it took for the running eagle to rush at the female and throw a dagger at it was just a moment.
Like a sword master, the attack was so fast and sharp that even a superman of the absolute class could die without making a single sound.
But the green female didn’t just poke it.
Instead, he spread his hand wide open and created a strange suction power.
The girl’s body, as light as it was already small, lost her balance and staggered in an instant with only the suction power of the star-sucking goldfish.
Still, running repairs did not stop.
Rather, he even used the suction power that sucked him in, and he just burrowed into the arms of the green female faster.
The moment the green female swung her fist at the dagger that pierced her chest.
Caang!
A sharp metallic sound resounded.
The body of the girl and the female bounced to the other side.
No matter how hurriedly he rushed at it, he couldn’t exert his full strength, but he only managed to slightly cut off the female’s gloves.
The running repairman, who was unable to cut through the skin, which was several times tougher than the glove, immediately picked up another dagger.
And it exposed its teeth while blocking the gap between the female and the dominant male.
“Kreurreung…!”
fiercely raised eyes.
cry like a beast.
Tight muscles and a crouched body.
Uncharacteristically of her, who always looked sullen and sleepy, she looked at the running repairman, who looked as if he was going to run at it at any moment.
The moment Maia raised her eyebrows.
A trembling voice was heard.
“…what are you doing?”
“protect. Protecting the lead male from a hacking female.”
with the whole body mutilated.
A drooping lead male.
Limon looked at the repairman running away with only his head turned, making a puzzled expression.
And he let out a deep sigh.
“Suri, this isn’t hacking, it’s called acupuncture.”
“…?”
“So treatment is treatment.”
“distrust. There can be no cure for stabbing your body with something thick, long, and pointed.”
“No, of course, if you’ve never seen acupuncture, it’s not unreasonable to misunderstand it…”
How to explain the principle of acupuncture, which adjusts the body and cures diseases just by piercing the body with a needle.
Limon, who was suffering from a headache, just cut it off.
“Am I saying that?”
“…”
“You don’t believe me?”
“…trust.”
With a really reluctant face.
The running repairman put down two daggers.
No matter how much I couldn’t understand it, I couldn’t help but believe the head male’s words.
But even she couldn’t help but blink at Limon’s words.
“Then apologize.”
“…?”
“Why did you catch a mouse and look like a scolded cat? If you cut the doctor because of a misunderstanding, you should apologize.”
The pupils of the running eagle shook.
She is indifferent to humans.
However, there is a level of likes and dislikes for individuals.
In that sense, Maia was a female who hated even approaching her, let alone talking to her.
It was because he knew it with the senses of a sword master.
Maia’s poison is more horrifying than tens of thousands of venomous snakes and poisonous weeds.
In fact, Maia couldn’t get better because she had to struggle with pain just by immersing herself in the river she fell into for a while.
Is Maia always looking at Limon pretending not to be like that?
Including the sometimes incomprehensible and dangerous light mixed with that gaze.
But do you apologize to her?
It was something he really didn’t want to do for a repairman who had clear likes and dislikes as much as it was simple.
But…
“If you don’t apologize, know that there will be no praise from me in the future.”
How could you say something like that to yourself?
He looked at Limon with a shocked face for a while.
Seeing those steady golden eyes and realizing that Limon was serious, the running repairman opened his mouth sullenly.
“…apologize. i was wrong Forgive me.”
chagrin.
cramped.
Seeing Suri running around apologizing with a face full of
dissatisfaction and all sorts of emotions uncharacteristic of her.
Limon smiled bitterly.
He knew how much the running repair hated Maia just from his attitude, which he hadn’t spoken to until now.
Actually, there was a reason for that.
Still, he was a really good disciple in the sense that he obediently apologized in the end.
The moment Limon was about to praise him.
“I don’t need an apology.”
The air that was about to be released.
It was freezing cold again.
“I have no intention of getting to know her anyway.”
“Hey Doctor?”
“Don’t forget Swordsman.”
I apologized at best.
What kind of colic is this?
Maia paid no attention to Limon’s bewildered gaze.
He just spoke in a pessimistic manner with a cold sneer as always.
“As long as the Sword Spirit does not give up her long-cherished wish, in the end she will be nothing more than a competitor and hindrance to me.”
“…”
Maybe because I was dumbfounded.
Or is it because I was stabbed in the middle?
Limon can’t say anything more even though he has a shocked expression.
And the running eagle raised his eyes as he peered into Maia’s swampy green eyes looking straight at him.
what is an intruder?
I didn’t know why.
One thing is clear.
-That she is the enemy.
As a female before becoming a sword master, she intuitively sensed that fact.
The running eagle had no choice but to growl, exposing its teeth like a beast, as if it were wary of an intruder who invaded its territory.
