Episode 45 Fiancee (3)
7 years ago.
In the Rue Morgue there was an eight-year-old girl with a broken leg.
Morgue Camus.
The youngest head of the household of Morgue, the famous magician.
Her extraordinaryness was different from the cotyledon.
The time when the young children of the House of Morgue gather to listen to magic lectures.
“The road to magic is difficult. Just as you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you. If you look into the deep world of magic, you may be eaten by a huge demon, so you must always be careful. ”
When the children who listened to the tutor’s words were feeling vague fear and fear.
only one. Camus was snoring.
“Nonsense.”
At those words, the tutor frowned.
“Camyu-nim. Why are you saying that doesn’t make sense?”
“When I look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into me. That’s bullshit.”
Camus continued with a dull expression.
“The abyss of magic is so wide and deep that no human mind can dare to comprehend it.”
“…”
“If I look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into me? No way. How big is the abyss, will it look into me? Just as the ant can see me, it doesn’t mean that I can see the ant. I don’t know if I’m looking into it. I’m not interested. So, being afraid that the abyss might look into me is overly self-conscious.”
“…”
“I don’t know if it goes up to a certain level. Don’t plant fear in the kids who can’t handle mana properly yet.”
At that, the tutor was silent.
Because Camu was right.
He, too, has never been eroded by the abyss of sorcery while he was able to roll five mana circles at class 5.
Of course, if you go beyond the 7th class, which is said to be the ultimate in magic, and go to the point of knocking on the door of the upper level, the story will be different.
Eventually, when the trivial class was over, Camus got up from his seat with a sour expression on his face.
“What is your uncle doing?”
He is the only person in this family who understands his talent and can freely confide his other inner thoughts.
Camus preferred her younger brother, Morgue Adolph, to Morgue Lespannet, his mother and head of the house.
at that time.
Camus heard the conversation between his mother L’Espane and his uncle Adolf in front of the house.
“A vein of ruby extends into the basement of the Baskerville estate?”
“Yes sister. I think a collision is inevitable.”
“It’s a big deal. Hugo, I don’t want to bow down to that asshole… Besides, that area is also infested with barbarians. Then will it be a three-way battle?”
“Once the mineral veins extend to the Baskervilles’ territory, they are at a legal disadvantage. Also, the savage tribes on that side are the ones that the Baskervilles have been struggling with for years, so if a dispute breaks out there, in many ways, great damage is expected within the family…” Lespane and
Adolf It looked serious.
And in that place came Camus.
“I’ll take a look.”
At that, L’Espane and Adolf were startled and said,
“He knows what the problem is…!”
“Wait. Sister. Let’s listen to what she says. Camus is a genius. Do you know? Maybe she’ll point out what adults can’t see.”
This is why Camus likes his uncle, Adolf.
Eventually, L’Espane and Adolf, who had heard what Camus had to say, nodded their heads in disbelief.
“Hmm. Let’s push it using the strokes of a child, right?”
“After that, let’s solidify the cooperation system and promote joint development? Umm. That’s not a bad opinion.”
It was such a cute opinion that it’s hard to believe it came from an 8-year-old’s head.
furthermore.
“And wouldn’t it be nice to discuss the marriage issue together? Rather than bowing down, I like the picture of a joint business between the in-laws.”
The so-called ‘marriage strategy’. Camus has another good suggestion.
L’Espane asked with her eyes wide open.
“You mean the marriage with the Baskervilles? Then, who should we send?”
“Well? Anybody? What about the useless Highsis, Middlesis, and Lowis triplets?”
Camus just answers indifferently without thinking.
The House of Morgue immediately entered into negotiations.
Adolf visited the Baskervilles with Camus, and Camus used his status as a child to talk to Hugo.
He likened the underground veins to the hands and forearms.
but. Camus had to suffer a bitter defeat for the first time since he was born.
‘That guy’.
An 8-year-old child also appeared on the other side of the camp.
I don’t know the logic, but in terms of momentum, I was definitely pushed by ‘that guy’.
In the end, even after bursting into tears, Kamyu was on the verge of losing consciousness due to anger.
I’ve never had an experience like this before.
Not to mention his 8-year-old peers, and even among teenagers, there was no one who could beat him.
Even it was the same for adults.
Everything in the world always went the way Camus wanted, and it never went beyond expectations.
But that day was different.
Everything was out of Camu’s will.
And the reason was because of the black-haired little boy he met for the first time that day.
‘If it wasn’t for you…!’
So Camus was furious. I wanted to show a good match to the first match I met in my life.
So, in the gymnasium where swords and magic collided, Kamyu challenged ‘that guy’ to a fight.
I attacked with all my might.
However, ‘that guy’ naively avoided it.
…a bean! …Tick-tack-tick-tock!
Even though his teeth were shaking, he flicked his fingers on his forehead as if he were just joking around.
Even the pain was really painful as I kept getting hit in the middle of the night.
In front of my eyes, the nasty face of ‘that guy’ suddenly closes up.
I felt like I was going blind with anger. It feels like only you and that guy are left in the world.
The only thought in my head was that I wanted to give ‘that guy’ a shot.
……just then.
Roaring!
The accident happened at the training ground next door.
There was a huge explosion and all the clothes were burned in the embers.
I hurriedly tried to hide behind the dust and fumes, but it only prevented me from being fully exposed for a few seconds.
Then I became worried.
There are countless other people here besides himself and ‘that guy’.
What nonsense is this!
The supernova genius next head of the House of Morgue, who had received all kinds of respect and trust in one body, suddenly appeared naked in front of everyone.
Even an 8-year-old has innocence. It means you have your own self-esteem.
Camus desperately held back the tears.
To be stripped naked in front of the eyes of children of the same age whom he always ignored and despised.
Aren’t the three sisters, Highsis Middlesis and Lowsis, who climbed up especially viciously in the gym next door!
I didn’t want to cry naked in front of them. You will be made fun of for the rest of your life.
‘……But what should I do?’
But there was no way out of this situation.
Soon the dust will clear and you will become a laughing stock in the world.
‘Should I die?’
Camus sincerely thought this.
……just then.
flutter!
My eyes were stained black.
It was heavy, but something warm and cozy covered Camu’s naked body.
When I look up, I see ‘that guy’ in front of me.
Take off your clothes and cover them, leaving you naked.
‘Isn’t he ashamed?’
Camus thought so, but ‘that guy’ didn’t seem to think so.
The guy proudly showed off his naked body to the whole world. without a hint of shame at all.
Camus felt his heart pounding as he looked at his naked body.
The first match I’ve ever met, the first defeat I’ve experienced since birth, the first confident attitude I’ve seen since birth, and the naked body of the opposite sex, the same age I’ve seen for the first time.
Numerous firsts were complicatedly tangled in Camu’s head.
The moment that good hair suddenly stopped for the first time, the time that flowed around her stopped as well.
Camus stared blankly at ‘that guy’ for a long time.
Secretly thinking in my heart that it was a good idea to bring out the ‘marriage strategy’ before departing from the family.
And then do it again and again.
‘That guy’ got into a fight with his uncle.
Camu always liked and followed his uncle, but at that moment, he somehow thought that his uncle was savage.
‘……The adults are all grown up and persecute the children.’
I thought I was grateful for always treating my young self like an adult, but not as much as right now.
together?
‘That guy’ continued to challenge his uncle.
An indomitable fighting spirit that does not give up even in the face of a very obvious gap in skill.
Camus felt a complicated state of mind.
I knew the strength and greatness of my uncle, but… I couldn’t stop looking at ‘that guy’.
Deep down, he was surprised by the fact that he was hoping for such an absurd situation in which ‘that guy’ would defeat his uncle.
and.
The fantasy became a reality.
In a situation that even the stubborn Camus thought was hopeless, ‘that guy’ surprisingly overcame his uncle.
ripple ripple……
Uncle with a dazed expression as he was hit by the flowing stream of water from a broken water jar.
Camus involuntarily cheered at this shocking result.
He even jumped up and down in place.
The uncle looked shocked and said he was sorry, but that was no longer her business.
Always despising the 8-year-olds of her age who laughed and jumped frivolously, she was laughing and running like a normal 8-year-old without even realizing it.
After the negotiations have been successfully concluded.
When Camu arrived home, he lay down on the bed.
The doll, which I always hugged while sleeping, decided to lay it down next to me from today.
“I am no longer a child.”
Instead, the things I always hugged and slept with have changed.
The black blood of the Baskervilles.
The cloak of the day covered by ‘that guy’ became Camu’s number one favorite item.
Camus slept hugging the clothes every night, and always buried her face deeply in the bloody clothes when she slept.
I thought the musty smell of sweat was somehow good, and if I buried my nose in it, I could sleep well.
Sometimes my heart suddenly jumped, sometimes my whole body felt tickled, and other times I had a sudden urge to bite my collar with my teeth.
When the nanny asked to do the laundry, Camus raised her hand and firmly stopped it.
‘This kind of thing is worth not washing.’
After that, Camus had never washed this bloody garment.
Even after the seasons changed and several birthday cakes came and went, Camus always had the same thought.
‘Where would you like to be by now? What are you trying to do? I wonder if he was taller?’
The girl became a lady like that.
Camus always went to the ruby mine on the pretext of liking rubies, but she couldn’t see ‘that guy’.
I had only heard rumors carried by the wind that I had entered a long practical training session.
And how much time has passed
Camus heard a rumor one day.
A fairly large city at the corner of the Baskervilles’ estate adjacent to the Morgue’s.
It was rumored that a young deputy consul had been newly appointed there.
I hear you had several major accidents as soon as you were appointed?
Of course, the accident is not really an accident, but a mega-achievement.
When Camu heard that he had burned 10 billion with a single stick, he hit his knee.
‘You grew up well.’
She went to find the room to go that way.
“What? You want me to send you on a joint operation with the Baskervilles?”
“Yes mother. Right now.”
Camus went to the estate of the Baskerville family after begging Lespane, the head of the household.
Prior to that, he did not forget to identify the newly appointed deputy consul in Underdog City as a partner for the joint operation.
And the day before the Baskerville delegation arrives.
Camu finished all preparations.
The watchtower of the fortress with many beautiful cotton flowers around was chosen as the reunion place.
It was a little embarrassing, so I kept the Morgue family’s eyes as far back as possible.
Seven years of waiting will end there, where white flowers and delicate scents overflow.
Camus went to bed with a swollen chest.
……and on the same day.
Camus was furious.
I picked a place with an atmosphere at best, but that place has already turned into a mess.
Her older sisters, who were always mean to her when they were little and who dared not even breathe properly in front of her now that they were older, ruined the work.
“……What are these people doing?”
Camus asked with infernal rage.
The aftermath of the destruction of romance was terrifying.
The three sisters of the House of Morgue weep without knowing why.
“Ka Camuya sisters…”
“Uuuuuuu Just to stop intruders…”
“Those quarreled first!”
However, Camu’s mood was already at the bottom.
Because the reunion that had been waiting for seven years was ruined.
“Camyu? Are you talking to me now, sisters?”
“Heeek!? Ah no! That can’t be the case, Viceroy!”
“Move away. If you don’t want to end up like that.”
Camus didn’t really intend to kill the three older sisters, but she did intend to punish them really harshly.
But before that, the girls disappeared on their own, so such trouble was unnecessary.
yet.
Camus rode his horse and stood in front of ‘that guy’.
“Welcome, partner.”
The face of ‘that guy’ that I see again after 7 years is not that different from when I first met him.
It must have been that he was still growing up, but his height was not much different from his own, but his face had changed slightly.
The jawline has become slimmer and the nose has become sharper.
It was at a better level than the version that was glorified and glorified in Camu’s imagination.
‘He’s grown up a lot. hmm. You grew up well.’
Camus nodded. Her face naturally turned red.
Why is it that the naked body of the guy I saw when I was 8 years old suddenly pops up in my head?
‘……Does the mother’s body change a lot?’
I didn’t even use magic, but my whole body was hot for no reason.
