Episode 493 The Hound Runs (4)
The dark clouds on the horizon recede.
The sun rose, the rain fell, and a double rainbow appeared.
The demons lost their power and were fleeing to the bottom of the sea.
…kwak! with a plop! Rumble –
The Kraken, the strongest enemy of the Tochka Alliance, collapses under the water, losing all tentacles.
The imperial palace could be seen collapsing in the distance.
“Ah!? The black fog has lifted!”
“Bikir did it!”
“……also!”
Tudor Sancho Bianca let out an exultant cry.
however.
“Hmm. Do you have a bad feeling about something?”
Standing on top of the large monster’s corpse, Kamyu had been feeling a sense of incongruity ever since.
The flow of mana was unusual. A huge demonic energy was felt, then cut off, and weakly flowed out again.
This was a completely new kind of aura that didn’t belong to Andras.
Moreover, Bikir’s energy was fading as if it were about to break.
It’s not a matter of vitality, it’s a feeling of going a very long distance.
“Camus, what’s wrong? Do you feel something bad?”
Morgue Adolf appears over the corpse of the monster across the street.
Camus simply nodded his head in response to his uncle’s question.
“…It’s like being a woman?”
And around that time, Iyen Dolores Sinclair Kirko, who were as talented as Camus, also felt suspicious.
Kwak!
Camus immediately jumped off the surface and ran.
And after that, four shadows followed.
Iyen Dolores Sinclair Kirko.
Camus looked back and was annoyed at their appearance.
“What! Why are you following me!”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on the imperial palace since before. I don’t like the feeling.”
“Vikir-nim might have been injured. We need to treat him as soon as possible.”
“It’s because I’m worried about my brother. It’s time to borrow a cat’s hand!”
“I’ve been following him from the beginning. Is there a problem?”
Right then.
Oh Ah-Aak-
Seafood splits and a vast land appeared under it.
baby madam. The guy was showing his back to the five women, including Kamyu, as if asking them to get on.
“Good!”
Kamu Iyen Dolores Sinclair Kirko climbed on the back of the young madam and headed for the imperial palace.
and soon.
They end up witnessing a shocking scene.
It was Piggy resurrected from the dead, and Vikir standing in front of the portal covered in blood.
Camu was the first to let out a shrieking scream.
“Where are you going! Hey!”
I was so embarrassed and angry that the double desire came out to the tip of my tongue and then went back in.
Kamyu suppressed his anger by pressing his chest with both hands.
“Huh…… No way. I barely corrected my accent, but I can’t curse again. Fuck you!”
But no matter how much I endured it, I couldn’t stand it.
Then she extended a trembling finger and pointed at Bikir.
“Where are you going!?”
“…”
At Camu’s sharp question, he only widened his eyes and couldn’t say anything.
And after a little more time passed there, I was able to barely open my mouth to answer.
“Where I came from. I go where I should have been.”
“Damn it! The place you should be is next to me! Don’t you still get it!?”
The area around Camu’s eyes was dyed red, like the color of her pupils.
“……Do you always think of yourself?”
“…”
“Don’t you think of me who always thinks of you?”
Camus continued in a hushed voice.
“Who am I to break all the marriage talks coming into the house?”
“…”
“For whom did everyone else’s love and school life like everyone else’s, and spent all of their youth rummaging through the jungles of the black mountains with enemies? Besides, they changed their career path with black magic, making it awkward with their uncle… ”
“…”
“You didn’t even know that I became a member of the Cancer Party to meet you? Then I transferred to school and went to meet you, and now I’m afraid I’m going to fall into a pit. Don’t you get into the Imperial Palace … ”
…” “” “” ”
” “” “This bastard!”
Camus was ready to use his own magic.
Vikir seemed unable to handle Kamu’s wrath in his present state, so he quietly raised his hands and fell from the portal.
Only then did Camu’s momentum subside a little.
Bikir suddenly took a closer look at Kamu’s face.
Certainly quite a bit of time has passed.
Although the youthful face of the 8-year-old still remained, she became a full-fledged young lady.
I thought it was just a puppy love that I would give up after a certain amount of time, but I didn’t think it was that.
At that time, another woman walked out beside Camus.
It was Iyen.
“You haven’t forgotten your time in the flood, right? Also what you experienced in New Wave.”
“…”
“The first time I saw you was behind the bars of the slave traders. When you rescued me, I had a hunch. I would be with you for the rest of my life. No harsh fate could separate us.”
“…”
“Even when the Red Death was prevalent, even when I was trapped in the Naraksu, I never forgot you for a moment. That’s why I went directly into New Wave to save you.”
Iyan’s face was unusually red.
“And I’m already married. You’ve seen everything I can’t see. Even urinating…”
Then, when the word urine came out of Iyen’s mouth, the face of the person next to her turned red. .
I saw Dolores wiggling her fingers.
“…Me, me.”
After hesitating for a long time, she mustered up the courage.
“I’ve been working hard so far because I wanted to be of help to Vikir! As a soul mate, I studied the resonance phenomenon diligently so that I wouldn’t be a nuisance, and I also followed the demon hunting! And to complete the mission that Vikir left me, I spent the night He even formed an organization called ‘Walkers’…”
Dolores looked up at Vikir with tears in her eyes.
“I’ve been working hard in my own way… It’s too much to leave without giving me a compliment.”
And next to her stood another woman who had been with the Night Walkers so far.
Sinclair.
She was looking up at Bikir with clear eyes.
“Hyung, do you remember what you said to me before?”
“…”
“I told you what to see, what to believe, and what choices to make are entirely personal matters.”
“…”
“Brother is right. So I’m going to make a decision that is entirely my responsibility.”
“…”
“Let’s go out with me hyung! Seriously on the premise of marriage! We promised when we were having a late-night snack together in the dormitory! One day, when hyung-ah achieves everything he wants, he’ll accept me as his bride!”
Camu Iyen Dolores’s eyes narrowed at Sinclair’s explosive remark.
A fifth voice was heard in the midst of a scuffle between them.
It was Kirko.
“Gareum. No Bikir.”
“…”
“I’m still bewildered. Why did you save me and how did Garreum feel? Everything is just confusing.”
“…”
“So for a while, I want to follow you and find the meaning of my life. What should I live for?”
“…”
“Anyway, I’ve already prepared for death once. If it’s not you, I have no ties or regrets in this world.”
“…”
“I don’t know if it sounds a bit shameless… but since you saved me from disappearing with my hometown, I wonder if you have that level of responsibility. So, take me with you. Back to where you originally lived. .”
Camu Iyen Dolores Sinclair Kirko.
They were sending eyes as determined as Vikir’s.
Bikir opened his mouth in a cracked, hoarse voice.
“The place where I was originally was an impoverished place.”
Then all five women nodded.
“I know. I can roughly guess from your personality.”
“What kind of environment did you grow up in to have such a bad personality?”
“The real Vikir-nim should reflect.”
“Hyung, do you have a personality problem?”
“It’s a harsher place than New Wave… I’m a little curious.”
Bikir spoke again.
“I’m a terrible person. The burden I carry is heavy… and I’m old.”
Then all five women nodded again.
“I know you’re lousy. Thank you if you know~ Because I love that lousy you.”
“He seemed older, but judging from the way he spoke and behaved.”
“In the first place, our Pope said that Bikir-nim’s soul seemed old from the beginning. That’s why he called him an old man when he first met…
” Do you remember kicking me for carrying Yin’s fist on your back?
“How much age difference is appropriate between a man and a woman?
They sighed and walked up the stairs.
yet.
Camu Iyen Dolores Sinclair Kirko stood behind Vikir.
Just like it always has been.
Of course, even when they saw the scenery beyond the dimensional door, the color of their faces did not change.
“I can’t send you to such a bloody place alone. Remember? I said that I would be with you even behind the threshold of death.”
“I’ll go with you. I also want to help my tribe, who may be alive on the other side.”
“I saw Vikir-sama’s inner side in the Cimmeries’ pit. You said you were a colleague. Share the burden, Mr. Choco.”
“Wherever my brother goes, I will follow him unconditionally. Don’t think about leaving.”
“It’s a strange place. Did the New Wave over there also collapse? I still want to go see it.”
at last. Bikir couldn’t help but sigh.
“Do whatever you want.”
Bikir turns towards the dimensional door.
Camu Iyen Dolores Sinclair Kirko follows Bikir.
And there was a faint smile on the corner of Piggy’s mouth as he looked at all of this.
“……They are good people.”
Eventually, the dimensional door closes.
Bikir threw herself into the twisting space beyond the blazing fire.
Dog of the Baskervilles A hound that walked at night.
He finishes all the duties he has been shouldering and returns to his original place.
Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsu……
My eyes began to spin in the distance.
Every sense of the body is twisted.
The clockwork was ticking backwards.
And between the second hands, the last message of the friend he left long ago and the friend who is now leaving him fades away.
‘I wish you a wonderful trip, friend.’
That was the last time in this world.
