#476. What will you do?
* * *
It’s like meeting someone you know in a strange place.
It’s a common occurrence in life.
In particular, having lived for a long time, Limon was quite familiar with such unexpected encounters.
But at this moment.
This reunion, which took place after pursuing the sheriff’s presence, was quite rare even by Limon’s standards.
In the first place, most of the opponents I met after 500 years were corpses, or even graves, let alone bone powder, disappeared.
So it was.
Why did Limon laugh cheerfully?
“Yeah, it’s something to live for a long time and see. I never expected to see you again like this.”
“…”
“So how have you been? I’d like to ask… but I’ll understand if you don’t ask.”
“…”
“What is that tsk face? Isn’t it hard to call him a little kid now that he’s gone so fast in only 500 years?”
It’s like meeting a trend.
It took a long time to smirk at the one-eyed shaman.
Limon scratched his cheek suddenly.
“Why don’t you say something? It’s embarrassing to keep talking to myself like this.”
“Are you here to kill me?”
“…that’s too radical for a greeting I’ve had in a while.”
“Isn’t it natural considering what you did to us that day 500 years ago?”
“Certainly not wrong.”
Limon nodded slowly at the sharp answer.
When it’s the spirit squad.
Considering Limon’s achievements in disbanding the Continental Guardian, it was not strange that the survivors at the time had a grudge against him.
“good night. If you don’t want to talk about the old days, let’s get straight to the point.”
So it was.
After suddenly erasing the smile.
Unlike before, Limon, who had a bleak expression, opened his mouth in a cold voice.
“It must have been your fault for attacking the Golden Dragon Princess, right?”
“Then what are you going to do?”
Dances with Wolves didn’t bother denying that fact.
As someone who had met Limon in the past, I knew that clumsy lies wouldn’t work with him.
to him like that.
Limon said quietly.
“I have come to warn you.”
“warning…?”
“Yes, don’t even think about touching the golden dragon princess. Then I’ll bury the things up to today and return the ones I caught.”
“…if you don’t like it, what will you do?”
“You will have to pay a heavy price.”
You know very well what the cost is.
Limon hinted.
Dances with the Wolves responded with silence.
How thoroughly the clan of the Seven Dragons will retaliate if the princess is touched.
Because he, too, knew all too well as an Unryeongsa who had lived for hundreds of years.
One thing I can’t understand.
“Why do you, Swordsman, side with the Seven Dragons?”
Limon and the Seven Dragons are nemesis.
The Continental Guardian resents him.
Even if they hated the Golden Dragon clan.
Compared to the fight between the Seven Dragons and Limon, it was nothing more than a children’s quarrel.
I wonder if the word “Yonggongjigan” was coined over an enemy that is absolutely incompatible.
But to think that Limon is threatening the Continental Guardians to protect Princess Gold Dragon.
At least according to his common sense, it could or shouldn’t have happened.
“That’s right, I came here not as a swordsman, but as an envoy of Princess Gold Dragon.”
“Huh…”
That was it.
After hearing Limon’s answer, he made an expression of disbelief.
Dancing with wolves opened its mouth as if chewing.
“The Sword Emperor will lament in his grave that his disciple acts as a dog for the Seven Dragons.”
“Well, I don’t know.”
If it were the Sword Emperor, he would rather rise from the grave and come to beat himself than lament.
After saying it with a smile.
Limon added a cold word.
“Above all, I’d rather be a hound than have Civil War break out again.”
If Charlotte is left to take care of things on her own, there will be an all-out war between the Continental Guardians and the Seven Dragons.
The result was a civil war in the United States.
It was the dawn of the Civil War.
At worst, it could be a reenactment of the Great Spirit Rebellion.
Either as a protector of mankind.
either as a human being.
Limon couldn’t let such a disaster happen.
That’s why I asked Charlotte to take care of the aftermath on purpose with the credit for capturing the raiders.
Above all, there was one reason why Limon had no choice but to step forward.
“Even if that was what you intended in the first place.”
“…what kind of grain is it?”
“That’s why you did this even though you knew full well that you couldn’t defeat the Golden Dragon Princess.”
It’s like being stabbed in the right place.
Looking at him with his mouth shut, Limon continued to speak quietly.
“Did you mean to die in the first place?”
“If you, who holds an important position in the Continental Guard, die at the hands of the Golden Dragon Princess, that will be the starting point of the war.”
“Even if there is no war, racial discrimination, which has been quiet, can intensify.”
“Am I wrong?”
Dances with Wolves didn’t answer.
just kept silent.
An affirmation that is clearer than a thousand words.
Seeing that, Limon let out a sigh.
“What are you thinking?”
“I just do what I have to do.”
“To bring out past grudges, even at the cost of one’s life?”
“It’s not a grudge from the past.”
After shaking my head slowly.
The prosthetic eye embedded in one of the wolves glowed red and continued.
“The pride we lost.”
“Pride…”
Limon closed his eyes.
Doing something that could lead to a war just for the sake of pride.
absurd thing.
But it was nothing new.
Kings and emperors who drove the country into chaos simply because of pride were common in the past.
And this was born in the age of the heroes of Dances with Wolves.
It was not unreasonable that they had common sense and ways of thinking that were completely different from those of the present age.
“Little boy, you…”
That was it.
Leave what Limon was about to say.
Instead, the reason why he opened his mouth with a sigh.
“…it doesn’t matter if you’re proud. If you want to lay down your life for your pride, that is also your freedom.”
“But don’t let others get involved for your pride.”
“If you disobey my warning…”
Sreuk.
I didn’t even draw my sword.
It’s not like I spewed out my life.
Just by placing a hand on the handle of the sword, a suffocating sense of intimidation was emitted.
said Limon.
“You will have to deal with me first before fighting the Seven Dragons.”
“Do you mean to slash me to protect the Seven Dragons?”
“No, it means to cut down the enemies of mankind in order to prevent futile, worthless and meaningless sacrifices.”
“…”
“Now what are we going to do?”
Before being the lion of Princess Gold Dragon.
As a protector of mankind.
Watching Limon speak with unwavering eyes, he gritted his teeth as he danced with the wolves.
As the Commander-in-Chief and chief of the Continental Guardians who lived for hundreds of years, his heart was crying out to fight.
but in the distant past.
Back when he was a sorcerer in the past.
The boy’s memories of the hero who saved the North American continent from being destroyed by runaway spirits spoke.
Even if we fight, there is no chance of victory.
two hearts.
two choices.
After pondering between them.
Dances with wolves eventually closed their eyes.

“Hmm.”
that evening.
After going through the dungeon.
Examining the documents Limon gave.
Charlotte muttered languidly.
“A memorandum from one of the chiefs of the Continental Guard. You’ve been looking for something quite rare.”
Actually, it’s not that rare to see.
Each of the chiefs of the Continental Guardians is an Unryeongsa, and they are old monsters that have dominated the North American continent for as little as tens to as long as hundreds of years.
It’s their surrender document.
It was worth more than a billion dollars.
I got it in just half a day.
Even Charlotte, who would sneer at something insignificant, had no choice but to acknowledge Limon’s ability.
“I don’t like how you arbitrarily turned hunting into negotiations, but that’s not too bad.”
I thought that if it was a hunting dog, like a hunting dog, it would bite the prey’s leash.
To think he’d come back without shedding a drop of blood.
What a cheeky hound.
while complaining languidly.
Charlotte laughed.
Anyway, this is also a great achievement.
Now that I could concentrate only on hunting for the Liberation Brigade, it could be said that it was a hunting dog with a reward worth raising.
“I don’t know what else to give you this time.”
That’s why Charlotte was worried.
For others, a little bit of money or one of their own cooking would be regarded as a gift they will never forget for the rest of their lives.
Of course, he was even shy about Fafnir’s stake.
It wouldn’t be a decent reward to satisfy Limon, who is teaching him how to cook.
Besides, it’s not just money and cooking that are out of the question.
Skills, including playing.
Knowledge based on experience.
Above all, overwhelming force.
For hundreds of years, he has lived as an absolute being and has enjoyed all kinds of wealth and glory.
Even now, there were few rewards that could satisfy Limon, which he could obtain on his own.
That said, her pride couldn’t tolerate giving an halfway prize.
“It can’t be helped. I have no choice but to go for a walk together.”
After thinking about it for a long time.
Charlotte made a decision.
I decided to hang out with Limon for a day or so.
Even a picky hound likes to go for a walk with its owner.
Limon would be satisfied if he went around eating together, buying new clothes and things, and even showing him something like a movie.
Of course she was busy.
I didn’t even have time to go for a walk.
I didn’t even want to do anything.
Personal punishment must be clear.
He said that he would invest his precious time to reward Limon.
Charlotte made up her mind and rose from her seat.
To give notice to Limon to make time for the day tomorrow.
but after that.
Charlotte couldn’t help but pause.
“You manage to clean it well without a speck of dust with such a cheap tool.”
“From my point of view, your family members who use telekinesis to sweep up even the dust without cleaning tools are more convenient, right?”
“Not all of us can do that. Rough cleaning is possible, but detailed parts must be cleaned by hand.”
“Thanks to that, I even get the president to clean.”
“Never mind. Originally, this is what I am supposed to do.”
Limon armed with a duster.
Alice running the vacuum cleaner.
For some reason.
At the end of looking at the two people who are cleaning the dorm together while talking amicably.
Charlotte opened her mouth.
“What are you doing?”
“You see, I’m cleaning?”
“I didn’t ask the swordsman, but my close friend.”
A blonde woman in a cowgirl outfit.
Alice calmly answered Charlotte’s question.
“As the princess acknowledged, it seems that the swordsman has a lot of skills to learn.”
“So you’re saying you’re learning how to clean?”
“yes. Instead, starting tomorrow, I decided to help with the small things like shopping.”
“…”
“I told you to focus on clearing the dungeon. Why are the boss’s family so interested in ashes rather than ashes?”
I am not a home tutor.
Limon, who was grumbling, suddenly tilted his head as he saw Charlotte looking at him and Ellis.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Did I look like I was free enough to come to you without any business?”
“I’m asking because I don’t think so.”
If it’s a problem with the Continental Guardian, wait a moment until the cleaning is finished.
Limon had no time to speak.
Charlotte languidly revealed her business.
“Teach me how to clean.”
“huh?”
“And since you’re interested in playing, prepare for that as well.”
“Wait a minute, when are you going to learn all of that? If you include those things in your cooking, 24 hours a day won’t be enough, right?”
“It is none of your business.”
“Is it me who teaches?”
Charlotte turned away
from Limon, who was making an absurd expression .
“Boss? I’m a swordsman, not a tutor!”
No matter what Limon says behind his back.
Charlotte didn’t stop.
As always, I just thought in my mind as I moved my steps proudly.
Come to think of it, as Elise pointed out, I decided to learn not only his cooking but also his other talents as well.
It’s not that he’s offended by flirting with his aides.
And as much as there is much to learn.
I think I need a more solid reward.
