[144] The name Parrot (2)
Amy blinked at first not understanding, then noticed what Tess was trying to say and turned her head away with a puzzled expression.
“Suddenly it makes strange noises. What does Sirone have to do with my graduation?”
“But it is. Sirone is still class fore and you are in your senior year. Besides, with your skills, you will definitely be able to graduate next year. If that happens, won’t you leave for the capital?”
The moment she heard that she was leaving for the capital, Amy’s heart suddenly beat faster.
I’d never thought of it like that before. But in reality, it wasn’t that far off.
“It has nothing to do with me.”
“Huh?”
Amy spoke coldly, but Tess couldn’t detect the slightest hint of sincerity in her tone.
Amy, who remained silent for a moment, spoke out what was inside, as Tess had expected.
“But… I made a promise. sure to catch up with me. I told you to speak comfortably under that condition.”
Tess closed her mouth in surprise and let out a ho-huh sound. If that was the case, the feelings the two had for each other weren’t that light.
“Hmm. Of course, sirone is also great. But I heard that class grapes went up in half a year? How could even a genius be able to graduate so easily?”
In fact, even Amy knew. The fact that the achievements Sirone has achieved so far cannot even be imitated by ordinary people.
An 18-year-old boy who lived without even knowing magic rose to Class Four in half a year.
It might be greed to want more here.
Amy looked at the back of Sirone, who was leading the way. Had Sirone ever thought of something like this? Will Sirone really miss herself if she graduates?
It was difficult to take the first step among people who were doing their best. But Sirone was already taking a few steps ahead. Maybe he is running while burning all his talents to the limit.
Amy knew that, but she couldn’t help but feel upset. She glared at Sirone’s back with a stinging gaze and said in her heart.
‘I mean hurry up. I really won’t let you go if you fall behind.’
After the women’s confidential conversation, the two quickened their pace and caught up with Sirone and Lian.
After reuniting, Sirone and the others climbed the hill to the villa while talking about this and that. Then, suddenly, Tess stopped and warned in a low voice.
“Shh. quiet.”
“Why all of a sudden…?”
Amy asked, turning to Tess. At first I thought her mischief was on fire again. However, when her expression was not serious, she immediately shut her mouth.
Tess, who trains saber swordsmanship, focuses on sensory-type builds among schemas.
Although not as good as archers, their sensitivity to stimuli far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Sirone and Rian noticed the atmosphere belatedly and approached her. Tess also signaled them to be quiet with a raised finger.
“There is someone in front of the villa. If you look at your lung capacity, you’re a man. If you’re average, you’re probably between 170 and 175.”
Lian grabbed the handle of the straight sword behind his back. There was a lot of chaos in the palace last night, so there was a good chance that there was an intruder.
“I don’t feel any hostility, but be prepared just in case.”
Tess stomped away like a cat, and the other three slowly followed her.
Upon arriving at the villa, I saw someone standing in front of the door. Seen only as a silhouette, he was looking elsewhere without even moving.
Sirone and the others moved forward without slowing down. But before I could take a few steps, the silhouette lost its strength and collapsed to the floor.
Sirone and the others looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the door.
The midnight visitor was Jess. I couldn’t find a healthy place on my face where it came from.
Sirone grabbed Jess by the side and supported him. Just the touch of his hand made Jess’ face crumpled in pain.
“Keugh! Oh, it hurts!”
“are you okay? Who did you do this to?”
“Get out of the way!”
Jess pushed Sirone away. You won’t be able to get angry if you know who has brought you to this point. I didn’t want to appear weak, at least in front of Amy.
Jess sat down with his back against the door. The moment Sirone approached to help again, he painfully raised the corner of his mouth and burst out laughing.
“Have you been playing all this time? You’ve grown very tall.”
Jess’ condition looked very critical, but Tess remained vigilant until the end.
He was the one who seduced Amy in a strange way last night and put her in danger. No matter how injured he was, he had no intention of trusting him.
Amy, on the other hand, approached without hesitation. Rather than trusting Jis, as a person who knew the rules of this floor, he was predicting the future to some extent.
“What the hell happened to you? say it. Is Falcoa like that?”
Instead of answering Amy, Jess raised her head and glared at Sirone fearfully.
It felt good to think that I could confidently stare at Sirone.
It is Amy’s life that she saved while falling to the end of her life. Wouldn’t it be okay if he became the main character at least for a minute when he had to explain everything?
“Hey you. Listen carefully. Take good care of your woman.”
“What are you talking about?”
When Sirone tilted her head, not understanding, Jis frowned terribly. I had guessed it from the time I had a conversation with Amy in the carriage. The fact that the relationship between the two cannot be clearly defined.
That’s why it became more temperamental. I don’t know why he has to go through all this trouble because Sirone has everything he doesn’t have.
“Amy, you son of a bitch! If you did something like that, protect it until the end!”
“I have no idea what you mean. why Amy? We were together all day today.”
Jess recalled Falcoa’s instructions. Even thinking about it now made me laugh out loud.
“I’ll bring you, even if you kill me. Put the loop of lethality in a drink and bring it to Amy. Amy said she had no choice but to drink anyway.”
“This crazy…!”
Ryan widened his eyes like a tiger and clenched his fists. Others who were listening were equally outraged.
Of course, Amy isn’t stupid enough to not know that Falcoa’s trick is. However, considering her pride and Hongan’s ability, something terrible could have happened.
Tess, who had been thinking that far, shivered with chills.
“it’s crazy. I knew it wasn’t normal, but he really went the extra mile.”
Sirone’s voice was trembling like never before.
“So that drink…”
“I threw it in the trash. I said I couldn’t. Did you know now? I’m protecting Amy. It’s not you, it’s me! I risked my life to protect her! Did you understand, you idiot?”
Sirone and the others firmly shut their mouths. I couldn’t refute it and I didn’t want to refute it.
Sirone knelt down and leveled with Jis.
“Jis we are…”
“So!”
Jess cut off Sirone’s words and screamed loudly. As I screamed with all my might, the pain swelled up as if my ribs were being broken. But it wasn’t because of the pain that she was crying like a waterfall.
“So…”
Jess fell flat. Then, with his forehead on the ground, he spoke in a sobbing voice.
“Please help me.”
Sirone and the others didn’t say anything and just looked down at Jis, who was lying face down.
“My sister… I think my sister was taken. After coming to my senses, I went to the store, but he said he had returned home, so I went home and he wasn’t there either. So I went looking for it… but no one helps me. please find my little sister I will ask you this.”
Jis, who begged Sirone and the others, burst out crying and repeated the word please.
Sirone was looking at it with a feeling of anger and sadness at the same time.
How many streets have you wandered in such a mess? Who cares about a little sister from the back alley? I vividly recalled him calling out his sister’s name amidst everyone’s indifference.
“younger sister. my younger sister. All of me…”
“Is there anywhere you can guess? The place where my brother was taken.”
Jess raised his head. I came because there was no one to ask for help, but even if I wanted to help, I had to collide head-on with the island’s ruler, the Freeman Organization.
No matter how much a wizard was, his life was not guaranteed, so he thought it wouldn’t be easy to do the favor. That’s why I begged with the resolution to lay down my life.
However, Sirone didn’t even think about it and was asking where her sister was taken.
“thank you! thank you so much!”
Jess bowed her head. This was the only gratitude he could express.
Amy, who was watching him disapprovingly, grabbed Jess by the arm and pulled him up.
“it’s okay. Do what you do. All of a sudden, we’re weirder. let’s go in Let’s talk while healing the wounds.”
“Ha, but my sister…”
“You fool! If we recklessly attack in a hurry, we’ll be the first to suffer! If you were kidnapped on your way home, you still have plenty of time. Whatever I do, I’ll fly and go, so do the treatment first.”
Amy helped Jiss open the door to the villa. A girl named Yuna was also worried, but now the first thing to do is to look at her wounds.
As Jess lay down on the bed, Tess undressed him. Having learned numerous combat aids, she was able to know Jis’s condition at a glance. Judging by the shape of the bruises, it was clear that the ribs were damaged.
Tess pressed all over Jess’ body.
“Ugh! Oh, it hurts.”
“Of course it hurts. I got it like this I really hit it without mercy. Be patient. I also need to check the organs.”
Tess pressed on Jess’ belly with all her might. The organs protected by the skin and muscles were difficult to see unless it was entered so violently.
“Mmmmm!”
It must have been a maddening pain, but Jess desperately endured it. It was because of the thought that he could go to rescue Yuna only when the treatment was completed as soon as possible.
“thank god. He has a cracked rib and the rest is just bruises. The organs are also safe. You are surprisingly strong.”
Jess smiled bitterly. He couldn’t fight, but he was already good at being beaten because he attacked numerous nobles.
Jess explained the situation while Tess applied bandages.
Considering Yuna’s time from work and return home, the abduction time was estimated to be around 2 hours from now.
“I would have taken her to her hideout, so she wouldn’t have arrived yet. But I don’t want to be on time. I just want Yuna to be alive…”
Amy interrupted Jess.
“no it’s okay. They’ll be traveling in a wagon, so if we rent a horse and ride it, we’ll be able to catch up. where exactly is the hideout? I have been quite far from here.”
“I’ve never been there either. I heard it is in the north of the island, but I don’t know if that’s even certain.”
“no. Maybe that’s right there.”
Sirone was sure that it would be a hideout. The north of the island is a natural cliff. Wasn’t that why when I first came here, I went around the island and docked at the southern port?
In addition, if it was in the north, it was close to the Kergo Autonomous District, so it was out of reach of the government. There was no better environment to use as a hideout.
“Okay then let’s go. Can I be alone?”
Jess nodded. Even if the wound worsened, he intended to send Sirone away.
Even so, the reason for the dark expression was because of the remorse for pushing unrelated people to the limb.
“Are you really okay? It’s funny to ask for help and say this, but they’re really strong.”
Amy snorted. Even if she wasn’t Geese’s sister, the human named Falcoa would take care of her someday.
