[130] Island. Galliant (7)
Sirone was heartbroken. How many times have you been assaulted, can such words come out of the mouth of a child?
“Since that day, the words have become a kind of incantation. Every time my adoptive father beat me, he said this. you can kill me Then the adoptive father stopped beating and left with an angry expression. Whoops, I just lived like that. From the time I was 12, even when I was 13, until I left home until I was 17.”
“You’re the same age as me now.”
“Yes, I am old enough to open my eyes to the world. Then one day, I finally realized the meaning of the actions my adoptive father had done to me. No, maybe you already knew. That’s why I didn’t ask for anything.”
Sirone could guess now. Marsha’s adoptive father had a terrible idea that he should never have.
“Like a fool. If you want to do it, I’d rather do it coolly. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have gotten messy for 17 years. In the end, he was a pathetic coward who could neither do this nor that. Since then, I’ve been carrying a knife in my arms. One day I saw the eyes of my adoptive father who was beating me. Oh, I’m so sorry I couldn’t see you. So I just said it.”
Marsha spoke calmly with restrained emotions.
“You can hug me.”
“…Did your adoptive father do that?”
“Oddly enough, there was no twist to this story. The human attacked me as if he had waited, and I stabbed my throat with a knife. I honestly didn’t feel anything. Then I left home and wandered around the world until I came here.”
Sirone was heartbroken. When I heard from the mouth of the person concerned about a story that I had only heard through books or rumors, an unknown resentment rose.
“Well, what should I say over there…”
“It’s okay! Now I just have to eat and live. The adoptive father died, but the kleptomaniac didn’t disappear easily. It’s not the first time or two that I’ve been in trouble because of this. Ugh.”
When Marsha smiled brightly, Sirone felt better too. I thought it was amazing that she knew how to be considerate of others despite going through such things.
“If it is an unforgettable pain, I think hugging is a way. Noona is doing her best to overcome the pain. The kleptomaniac will soon disappear.”
“Thank you for understanding. If you were going to do something to me tonight, it worked.”
“no! I really…!”
“know. My face blushed for no reason. If I had a younger brother like you, I would not be bored.”
“Me too. To be honest, I thought that Marsha noona was really like my own sister.”
“Hi-Hi! Ok, thanks.”
Sirone was sincere. The other day, while watching the relationship between Lian and Raina, I thought it would be nice if they had siblings.
If you had a sister, would you feel the same way you do now? Her way of speaking and every action made Sirone feel at ease.
In the meantime, the bartender who had entered the room came out.
I don’t know the detailed structure, but it seemed that all kinds of information was being collected from the room he came out of.
“Gamos alert is off. They say they’re going back to the mansion to have a party, as if they’ve found a girl they like.”
“Phew, but I’m glad it’s not too late.”
Marsha glanced at Sirone with sullen eyes.
“Hey, do you think you hated being with me that much? Just a moment ago, in a baby-like voice, Marsha-noona, please be my older sister.”
“…I didn’t say it that way.”
Sirone felt the same way. It was the first time that he, who was not used to women, had a conversation without noticing the passage of time.
However, I had to leave for the sake of the family members of the villa who were waiting for the boat.
“I guess I have to go back. Can I see you again?”
“of course. Are you afraid that you will run away in the middle of the sea? If you’re bored, come and play. Because I intend to stay here.”
“haha! Yes, then I will go.”
When Sirone left the bar, Marsha ordered a strong drink with a light expression on her face.
As expected, the two men who had been waiting for an opportunity until now approached as if they had been waiting.
“It’s fresh. Maybe because I was drunk with you, I paid more for my drinks than usual.”
“Getting a room? This is where a woman alone never knows what’s going to happen. How can I come in with you?”
Marsha didn’t even turn her head.
“go away. before killing them.”
“what? did you say everything? Do you want to be treated properly today?”
The man held the bottle upside down on the table. People looked back at the bar with a sudden sense of tension.
As her eyes focused, Marsha sighed inaudibly. Then, suddenly, he changed his attitude and let out a crackling laugh.
“Ho-ho-ho! Okay, go to your room. But can you handle it with only two people? Why don’t you bring more friends?”
“What is it?”
“Bring it. 10 people? No, 20 people don’t matter. I’ll play with you all night, so bring it to me. I hate interruptions the most.”
The men were offended without even knowing why. But Marsha knew. The fact that when breeding competition intensifies, males reveal their natural weakness.
“What the fuck. go crazy girl Let’s go.”
“Because I’m out of luck.”
Marsha looked at the men walking away as if they were pathetic, then turned away.
Before I knew it, the drink I ordered was up. When I passed it all at once, a fire shot out of my throat and my mind became hot.
“Huu, this is how you drink. One more bartender.”
Instead of serving a new glass, the bartender came over and poured Marsha’s glass.
“…is that Marsha?”
“Whoa, then is there another Marsha?”
“I heard that you’re wanted by the Magic Association, but you’ve been avoiding it so far. Did you come in at all?”
“no. I’ll be there soon. I just came here for a moment to sort things out.”
“I would like it to proceed as quietly as possible. When a big guy like you makes a fuss, the island gets messy. We don’t want the agreement broken. If you promise to cooperate, I’ll let you stay here for a while.”
“it’s okay. I didn’t even have a good idea here from the beginning.”
The bartender polished the beer glass until it clicked. After remaining silent for a long time, he spoke indifferently.
“The boy must be disappointed.”
“Whoops. are you okay. Originally, at that age, I was broken hearted and that’s it.”
“I thought you liked it?”
“It was fun. Haha, to be honest, it was a bit dangerous.”
Marsha hugged her shoulders and looked up at the ceiling.
“How can there be such a disgusting human being?”
Priority (1)
The villa was quiet, as if no one was there.
Amy was sitting on the sofa by the fireplace, and Lian and Tess were too busy staring at her to say a word.
Sirone wasn’t coming. It’s already been 2 hours since I went to the market, so unless I’m bringing fish out of the sea, it’s time to come back already.
“Sirone is late?”
Tess, who spoke out to melt the frozen atmosphere, was startled. It felt like my voice was audible louder than usual.
Even so, Amy was staring at the darkness without even a slight movement.
‘Oh, it’s completely thin ice.’
Tess shuddered. In fact, Amy didn’t seem to be in a good mood enough to feel the chills.
Of course, as a woman, it was completely understandable. Apart from the meaning of a couple’s trip, wasn’t it the first exciting vacation for the two of them?
‘Sirone was too careless. This is disappointing for me too. Chet!’
Crayfish are on the side of the crab, Tess sided with Amy.
As a woman, she knew how much Amy had yielded to Sirone.
Despite a disagreement at the port, she readily offered to cook. Men might think that’s a big deal, but from a woman’s point of view, it was the most honest expression of her feelings, ‘I want to reconcile with you quickly.’
But Sirone was an hour behind Lian. It’s not the time to worry because it could be if you’ve lost your way, but Amy wants you to do even such trivial things responsibly.
“Oh, I am hungry. Why the hell aren’t you coming? Shall I go out and look for it?”
Lian murmured, holding on to her stomach without noticing. Hey, I’m not a kid who eats a certain number of meals a day, so I’ve been patient with an hour’s grace period.
“it’s okay. And then we get confused.”
“okay? Then can I eat the potatoes I bought?”
Tess raised her ax eye and shouted.
“Why are you so gullible? Think about Amy.”
“What is so serious? Sirone said she had more to live for than me. It could be late.”
Tess was stunned. Even though Sirone was not her partner, she already resonated with Amy and even seemed to hate Rian.
“Even if Sirone has a lot to live for, she’s smarter than you, so it’s normal to come sooner than later. So, this is a very serious matter! You decide whether to eat potatoes or green onions in the corner.”
“Why are you so temperamental? What did I do?”
Ryan scratched his head like a bear. I couldn’t even say that I was selfish because I was indifferent to the sound of swearing at myself.
Amy was the first to speak. I tried to smile as if I was sorry for ruining the atmosphere.
“Sorry for me. Just cook and eat from you guys. I’ll eat with Sirone when he comes.”
“I can’t do that. It was a cooking competition.”
“But Lian is hungry. It’s because Sirone is late anyway. What should we lose?”
Tess soothed Amy with a tearful expression.
“It’s okay, Amy. In fact, I’m not hungry at all. What should I do with that insectivore?”
Ryan was really chewing raw potatoes in the corner. He was a man who couldn’t even ski, but his physical strength was comparable to that.
In a way, it was pitiful to see that in order to maintain tremendous muscle strength, the calorie consumption would be several times higher than that of a normal person.
Undecided and silent, Amy put her feet up in her chair and rested her cheek on her lap.
‘Why aren’t you coming? What really happened?’
He’s not a kid who doesn’t keep his promises. But he wasn’t stupid enough to waste time by making mistakes.
Perhaps there were unavoidable circumstances.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help feeling sad.
‘You brought me. Except for you, everyone I meet today.’
It was lonely. Although they became close, Lian and Tess had a sympathetic relationship as partners. There was no room for Amy to squeeze in between them.
thump. thump.
someone knocked on the door Tess’s face brightened and Ryan clenched his fists at the thought that he could finally eat.
“Are you Sirone? Wait a minute…!”
Before Tess could finish her words, Amy walked to the door. Raising her eyes, she shouted as she threw open the door.
“hey! What the hell are you doing now… Huh?”
Amy opened the door and blinked her eyes.
It wasn’t Sirone. It’s not even that I don’t know. What is certain is that he is not supposed to come here.
Jis, who had been scrambling in the harbor, stood there.
“what? Why are you coming here?”
Jess’ face turned red. I never thought it would be this woman who opened the door and came out.
My teeth gnashed when I remembered the events of the day, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw an unfamiliar figure in comfortable clothes.
Gathering his senses, Jis shamelessly inspected the interior of the villa. His stomach ached from being hit by Falcoa, but his expression was undisturbed.
“Wow, this is really nice. Are nobles different?”
“Are you asking what’s going on? How did you know we were here?”
“I searched and found it. If Jis, the ruler of the port, puts his mind to it, that’s not a big deal. Now you know how fast I am on the island?”
“so? You came here just to show off that one trick?”
