Counterattack of Evil (3)
Imperial Aganos.
The goblin’s attire was starkly different from the scenery in the hallway decorated with gold and silver treasures.
The name of the monster wearing a rag-like cloak and carrying a crude spear on its back is Kido.
He was almost the only guard who could deliver food directly to Uorin’s room.
“Stop.”
A black gust of wind blew, and a windbreaker wearing a white mask like an owl blocked the road.
“what? “You were surprised.”
The person at the head of the squadron asked in a dark voice.
“…Where are we going?”
“Can’t you see this? “She told me to drink some honey water.”
Pungjang, who was staring at the golden tray that Kido had lifted, showed his fierceness.
“Don’t brag about being the Empress’ favorite. Even so, you are nothing more than a pet.”
Like most of his associates, even to Pungjang, Kashan’s owner was only Teraze.
Sword masters who embody fluid dynamics with their bodies and protect Terra Ze closest.
But after Kido entered the imperial castle, that pride was shattered.
‘Just a goblin.’
From what I observed from afar, Uorin also didn’t think much of Kido.
He treated me like a servant, got angry, and sometimes took me for a walk with him on a leash.
“If I am a pet, are you livestock? Move. “If you’re late, she’ll be mean to you again.”
When Pungjang activated the group killing technique ‘Gaksi’, it felt as if thousands of blades were piercing the skin.
“Make sure you speak carefully. If you insult the Empress again, I will report it to you personally. “That smelly goblin has gone to a place from which he cannot return.” The biggest reason to despise Kido is because he harbors feelings for Uorin.
‘Does your dog hate its owner?’ If it weren’t for the special ability called ‘taste of memory’ in the first place, Wuorin wouldn’t have kept him by his side.
“Move.”
Kido had no intention of fighting.
“A good idea occurred to me.”
When the leader of the formation drew his sword, the remaining nine people made the same movement like an afterimage.
“I’ll get you neutered. Then the Empress will be able to play with you much more safely.”
Pungjang was sincere.
Kido’s eyes became cold, but his hands were still holding the tray.
The moment when the subtle vibration that appears before the body moves heightens the tension.
“Stop it.”
A woman’s voice was heard.
“Yula.”
As Pungjang put his sword away and lowered his head, Kido slowly turned back.
‘Before we knew it, we were at the rear…
Yula, the leader of the wind field.
Although they were wearing the same owl mask, the atmosphere was different from other Pungjang.
“Pungjang only follows the instructions of the Empress. “Keep in mind that your arrogance can destroy the entire organization.”
“sorry.”
Yula’s chest puffed up and then sank.
‘This is why new recruits are a problem. No matter how much they teach you, you won’t know until you experience it.’
Although your skills are outstanding enough to become a flight leader, you must remember this if you are a good commander.
‘Terase.’
The cruel madness contained in that name.
‘He is the one who can annihilate the entire Pungjang just because it is an eyesore.’
Yula lowered her head.
“sorry. Ignore the rudeness of your subordinates. “The Empress is waiting for you, so go quickly.” When Kido turned around, the hallway was empty.
Since Yula wouldn’t be there anyway, I walked on without bothering to check behind me.
“…It is not easy.”
I knocked on Wuorin’s door, but there was no answer.
“I’m going in.”
Kido held the tray with both hands and lifted his right foot to turn the doorknob.
“What happened?”
Wuorin, who had finished grooming himself, was looking outside from the table next to the window.
“Kido.”
As she smiled and turned her head, her appearance shined even brighter than the halo at the window.
‘It’s really pretty.’
Goblins’ aesthetic standards are different from humans’, but in his eyes, Uorin was perfect.
‘It could be because they eat a lot of people. Because human memories have seeped into it.’
I try hard to change my mind, but I know the truth.
‘I love this woman.’
All the desire to
laugh together, take a walk, talk about the book we read yesterday and tangle like beasts .
If someone finds that natural desire repulsive, there is only one reason.
This may be because Kido is a goblin.
“drink. “You said you don’t feel well?”
Wu Orin’s smile widened as he looked at the drop-shaped tea cup on the tray.
“yap.”
When I hit the bottom of the tray with my hand, the teacup fell over and all the honey water spilled out.
Uorin laughed while pointing at Kido’s face, who was suppressing his anger.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! “Look at your expression.”
“What are you doing now?”
“huh? You hit the tray and spilled honey water? Oh right. Could you bring me some honey water? “I don’t feel well.”
Kido threw down the tray and shouted.
“What does this really mean to goblins? Am I that funny! “Why are you kidding me every time you look at me?”
“Because it’s disgusting.”
When Kido’s shocked face turned pale, Wuorin smiled.
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding! “How much I like you.”
“??????it’s okay.”
Kido turned around.
“If you need a pet, find someone else. Because I will quit. “I am leaving Kashan.”
“Why are you so sensitive today? “What happened?”
Is it because I met Pungjang?
‘No, this is my problem.’
The more he stays by her side, the more miserable he becomes.
“uh? Are you really going? “Kido, key, do!”
Before Wuorin finished speaking, Kido opened the door and ran out into the hallway.
As soon as the sound of the door shutting disappeared, there was no sign of him in the room as before.
“Hmph, that’s about it in the end.”
I don’t know if I could really leave Kashan, but I at least needed time to think.
Around the time Kido left the imperial castle.
Wuorin’s eyes were cold as he sat in front of the table and looked out the window.
“Be careful, Kido.”
In the dull landscape, bleeding corpses were appearing one after another
.
Upon arriving at the capital of Kashan, Habitz’s face was covered in blood and he looked like a demon.
“It’s thrilling.”
He entered the construction site to repair the damage caused by the Demon Tree, but no one recognized him.
“Be more scared.”
Every time he heard the sound of Wuorin’s heart, his eyelids fluttered.
“Hey, bricks in the material warehouse… When Habitz swung his arm, the neck of a worker passing by was cut off.
“now! “Let’s get started quickly!” People were still busy, and Havitz, who was lonely, started dancing with his sword.
“die.”
One life with one cut.
“die.”
Even while I was engrossed in that tedious task, the city was moving quickly.
The teachers, who had expected a terrible collision, looked stunned the moment they opened their eyes.
“Oh my god…
Wizard was crying.
“sorry. “I won’t do that again.” Once the water was opened, the Wizard’s sensitivity poured out like a waterfall.
“okay. Only courageous people can admit their mistakes. “It’s a difficult thing for even adults to do.”
Wizard, who had stopped crying, sobbed.
“Winning and hurting are completely different things. “You can’t do that in the future.”
“yes.”
As Shirone looked at the wizard nodding his head, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
‘The genius of the era, the magician who is stronger than adults, is intoxicated with all kinds of rhetoric…
but in fact, the child is anxious about everything.
‘My own emotions, other people’s emotions, even nameless insects moving around under my feet…
everything is scary.
‘No one could teach this child about the world. Thanks to this, purity was maintained…
but that’s why it was difficult.
‘Am I really going to send this child to Satan? ‘Can we tell them to kill Havitz?’
Shirone, who had his complicated feelings at bay, held Wizard’s hand and left the training ground.
Meanwhile, Wizard, who was lost in his thoughts, looked up at the teachers and said.
“Teacher, I was wrong. sorry.” The teacher looked tearful and gently stroked her cheek.
“no. The Wizards did really well. That’s great. “The teacher is so proud.”
Rampa, who was watching the scene warmly, turned his head and got to the point.
“Then… shall we open the negotiation table?”
Although he did not show it on the outside, a thousand dollars was boiling in the official’s heart.
‘damn! This is the worst situation.’
How could anyone have known that a wizard that no one could tame would turn into a gentle sheep?
“haha! yes. Would you like to go back to school then? Wizard’s parents are waiting.”
As we entered the school, leaving the teachers behind, the principal approached us accompanied by Wizard’s parents.
“welcome. I am Nikolai, a certified level 4 wizard. “It is an honor to meet the star of the ivory tower
.”
To wizards, Sirone is a living legend.
His hand shook as he shook it.
“nice to meet you. “I have heard of its reputation.”
It was through Omega.
“That’s too much praise. Oh, and these are Wizard’s parents. “Let’s say hello.”
A man and a woman in their mid-40s bowed their heads.
“hello. This is Wizard’s father. If my daughter was rude, please forgive me… Seeing the words coming out without even looking, I could guess Wizard’s usual behavior.
“no. Rather, we are in a position to receive help. Thank you for raising my daughter well.”
It was a word representing humanity.
Sirone asked, turning to his mother.
“I want to hear your story. “How the Wizard was born and what phenomenon occurred.”
My mother answered in a panic.
“We are just farmers so we don’t know much. Maybe it’s magic, maybe it’s a spirit zone…
My father corrected me.
“Spirit Zone.”
“Oh yes, that’s it. We just want Wizard to be safe. Oh, in a world where demons run rampant…
My mother wiped away her tears.
“okay.”
I couldn’t bear to say that your daughter would fight the leader of those demons.
“mom! dad!”
At that time, Wizard, who had arrived late after washing up, ran to the front door waving his hand.
“Wizard!”
My heart became even heavier because I was a seven-year-old child who had no choice but to fall into the arms of his parents.
‘Even if all conditions are met, it is useless if the Wizard does not do it.’
The Wizard said, pointing to Sirone.
“You know, this oppa is really strong? “He is a much stronger person than me.”
“huh?”
The parents were dumbfounded because the Wizard had never acknowledged anyone before.
“I like this oppa. I want to keep playing with my brother. Is that okay? huh? huh?”
The parents looked at Sirone again.
“This is the first time my daughter has done this. “I may be presumptuous, but may I ask your name?”
Sirone responded, thinking that what was coming had come.
“My name is Sirone.”
“ah??????
Although Ivory Tower had never heard of it, the name Sirone was famous even among farmers.
A practitioner of love who kills countless demons and fights for the peace of mankind.
“thank you. “Thanks to Sirone, we were able to escape safely.”
“no. You don’t deserve to hear those words. And it will be more so in the future.”
Shirone ignored his parents, who did not understand, and became eye level with the Wizard.
“Wizard, is magic still fun?”
“Yeah, it’s fun. It’s more fun playing with my brother. I’ll keep doing magic. Zuuuuuuk!”
With his lips sticking out like a carp, the wizard aimed his index finger and drew a long sideways line.
“You could die.”
The parents’ eyes widened at Sirone’s words.
“You might get hurt somewhere or it might hurt a lot. Still… do you want to continue with your magic?”
“Over there! “What does that mean now?”
When the parents tried to intervene, Rampa put his index finger to his lips and shook his head.
The Wizard repeated Sirone’s words.
“She could die…
After being lost in thought for a while, she suddenly raised her head as if she realized something.
Then he looked up at Sirone and responded with the brightest smile a seven-year-old could make.
“Yes! I want to!”
