A temptation hard to resist.
A temptation hard to resist.
What should I do?
First of all, I got and ate the meat I brought, so should I pretend to save Desperacio?
If only the reduced allowance was the problem, there would be room to talk about it, so I thought I could solve it with money and then claim the money I spent on Desferacio.
“Hey…”
Before I could say a word, a soft hand tapped my shoulder. When I turned my gaze, Master Pridya shook her head slowly with a smile on her face.
“Yuna, it looks like you don’t have to step out.”
Jilgeongjilgung.
The black rabbit’s ears perked up. Lily shoved one last piece of meat into her mouth and glared annoyedly at the owl woman standing at the base of the osprey.
“that.”
Lily pointed at Desferacio, who was lying on the floor, with her chin.
“Leave it alone, and if it goes off right now, I’ll take special care of it. So, if you want to return safely, get out quietly.”
cook.
The Owl Woman quietly stabbed the fallen Desperacio with the staff in her hand. Each time the tip of the wand touched Desperacio’s body, deep wrinkles dug into Lily’s forehead one by one.
After stabbing Desperacio a few more times, the Owl Woman’s mouth opened again. She uttered a short, low voice.
“Come on.”
bang!
No questions and answers. As soon as the Owl Woman finished her words, Lily kicked off her stomach, jumped up, and slammed the Owl Woman down with her heel. The Owl Woman calmly backed away. As the metal shoe, which had lost its point of impact, hit the floor, the stone floor shattered mercilessly, and dust and stone dust rose up.
As if the attack wasn’t meant to be matched in the first place, Lily naturally followed the motion and rolled the fallen Desperacio with her feet. Desperacio, stunned, rolled over and landed in a place a little far from the scene of the battle.
That was the kind of consideration that wandered somewhere between kindness and indifference.
Standing upright, Lily turned her neck once and heard the cheerful sound of bones clanking.
“Yeah, it’ll be just the right place for an after-dinner workout.”
“The crushing moon.”
light whisper. It was a spell I had been hit with my body the other day. As far as I remember, that was probably a spell that put intangible pressure on the body.
“Doing tricks!”
bang!
Lily, who had left her seat, turned into a black afterimage once more and rushed toward the Owl Woman. The Owl Woman lightly waved the tip of her wand with a leisurely motion.
“A falling star.”
A ray of pure white light started in the air and shot towards Lily.
“Tsk.”
With a short tongue click, Lily kicked the floor once and broke the trajectory she was advancing. The choice to dodge the first attack you see rather than counter it. When the beam of light reached the floor, the light simply quietly disappeared. Seeing the scene, Lily’s brow furrowed slightly.
It was probably because the power of that light could not be measured because it had quietly disappeared.
“A falling star.”
A group of pure white lights blooming again. Lily didn’t stop closing the distance. She evaded the two beams of light with agile movement. The owl shaman recited the incantation once more in a relaxed tone.
“A falling star.”
A flicker of light that shines brighter than before. Even if you take it well, the interval is less than three steps. The Owl Woman pointed somewhere with languid movements. Beyond the direction the tip of the finger was pointing at was the fallen Desperacio.
aww
Lily gnashed her teeth at the medicine to avoid it if possible. As soon as the light came out, Lily gave up the distance she had shortened. She bounced back to block the light and kicked out.
bang!
When the light and the metal leggings collided, the sound of dull blunt weapons colliding echoed. The light with the broken orbit soared into the sky and then disappeared. The black rabbit woman’s eyes sank heavily.
“Are you going to come out cowardly like this?”
The owl woman, spinning her staff, tilted her head.
“A shoplifter, is the shameful going missing? Anyone can see that stealing is more cowardly.”
“good.”
Lily tapped the floor lightly with her heel a couple of times, and the silvery metal shoes turned black, like the color of her bunny ears.
“The cry of a star. lunar lunar. The laugh of the dawn light.”
A pleasant voice spat out an incantation. I was quietly watching the scene, and I spoke cautiously to Master.
“Shouldn’t that be dried?”
Master smiled as if she were just watching a fun joke.
“Wouldn’t it be better to see the level of skills of those who proposed cooperation in advance?”
“Hmm…”
He thought for a moment. Is there a need to check the skills of the black rabbit woman here? The level of the rabbit woman I estimated was a level that I could cope with.
If the woman is hiding more power than I expected, the sparring will never end in a light fuss.
The Dakia had blown up part of the pier so badly that it was recently photographed by the coast guards, and if we destroyed the pier again, we might ask for our boat to be pulled out of the port.
“I think it would be better to dry it after all.”
“If Kite is what you think, then it would be better.”
Master Pridja reached out and gently stroked my hair.
“Eat some meat or something. This kind master will stop the two of you and come back.”
“yes?”
Before I could finish my words, Master’s figure disappeared. I hurriedly turned my head and saw that Master had already gone down the boat and tapped the owl woman’s neck with the blade of her hand.
“Kek?!”
The recited order was cut off. While the owl woman was calling out, Master moved in front of Lily and lightly kicked her in the shin.
Lily, as if proving that she was in a state of relaxation, stepped back for a moment and tried to dodge Master’s kick. As if mocking the attempt, Master quickly reached out and grabbed the long rabbit ears with one hand.
“What?!”
Embarrassed, Lily’s pupils widened. Master Fridiya smiled softly and whispered.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if the guest made the host uncomfortable?”
“This is all…”
Whoops!
“evil!”
Kicked in the shin, Lily collapsed with a groan. Master Prydia muttered lowly as she looked down at the fallen Lily.
“Wouldn’t it be better not to think about running away?”
At that word, the owl woman, who was about to take me out immediately, stopped. She answered in a slightly damp voice for some reason.
“I was right. Stealing is bad…”
Master’s blue eyes softened and formed a beautiful curve.
“Okay, wait a minute.”
***
Jjallang.
Taking the heavy pouch, the owl woman glanced at Master and put it in. Lily, who handed over the money bag, glared at Master with a blunt look.
“To be clear, I was thinking of paying for the meat in the first place. I had no intention of making it big.”
As if the one punch earlier wasn’t enough, Lily still treated Master with a confident and stiff attitude.
If you get caught wrong like that, you won’t even be able to get a real bone.
Even I, who know Master well, always think twice or three times before talking to Master.
“Belated excuse. pointless. It looks very ugly.”
“Quiet! I know you’re really lucky! If I had kept going, you would have been very angry with me!”
“If I continued, I wouldn’t be the one getting the muk bowl.”
“under? Wanna join me again? huh? Who will see the end of the muk bowl?”
The Owl Woman glanced at Master and shook her head.
“I am not stupid like you. I don’t want to get hit again.”
“under.”
Lily let out a short sigh, and after that sigh, she said nothing more. However, I noticed one question in the conversation between the two.
“What do you mean you meant to pay for the meat?”
“I mean literally.”
Lily patted Desferacio on the floor and continued talking.
“Do you really think if we tried to steal meat, we’d only be tracked down by ‘that guy’? Stealing meat in the first place was all just a way to attract attention.”
“Where are you talking about?”
“You better know who is behind the scene we crashed into.”
anti-emperor faction. Did you mean stealing the meat on purpose to get the attention of the anti-emperor faction behind the illegal slaughterhouse?
“What were you trying to do by drawing attention?”
“That’s a simple story. The more words you can write, the better, right?”
Did you see me as a collaborator to help prevent the descent of evil spirits? Certainly, since the emperor was looking after Liberatorio, who was currently making vessels for the gods here, it was not a bad option to inform them of this fact and seek cooperation from the anti-emperor faction.
It was also a method that I wouldn’t bother doing if I didn’t have anything good to do by attracting other attention.
“That kind of person didn’t come alone, but more seriously, we were going to negotiate when someone with a certain position comes to visit us…”
Lily pointed at Master Pridya with a wink.
“It was a little twisted.”
“Why didn’t you tell me the plan beforehand?”
“What is he saying now.”
Slightly blunt voice. The black rabbit’s ears perked up. She looked at me with black eyes and frowned.
“You refused to cooperate with us. So, of course, don’t you think we have no obligation to report even such a trivial plan to you?”
“It certainly makes sense.”
I forgot because Desferacio answered everything I asked. Come to think of it, I rejected Desperacio’s offer.
I was mistaken for a moment because I’ve been so friendly like a friend I’ve known for 10 years.
If the owl woman hadn’t come to visit in the middle of this, she might have fallen for his tongue and cooperated with Desperacio in a blurry relationship like a serpent crossing a wall.
Comparing that point, unlike Desperacio, that woman named Lily was easy to deal with because it was hard to connect and break.
“hmm. There’s nothing you can do about it now that it’s like this.”
Lily lifted up Desperacio, who had fallen on the floor, lightly slung it over her shoulder, and winked at the Owl Woman.
“What are you doing. let’s go.”
The Owl Woman tilted her head.
“What does it mean?”
“Guide me. where your business is. I heard you came to catch the culprit who stole the meat. Shouldn’t you catch the culprit and restore the trust?”
“Positive.”
The owl woman nodded and turned her back without regret and moved on. Lily was about to move after the owl woman, but stopped abruptly.
“Oh right. I almost forgot.”
She turned and gestured towards me.
“Desperacio said to ask if you would like to come with me if something like this happens.”
“I mean?”
“You said that if you’re going with me instead, you’ll have to follow me alone, without a companion.”
“What does that mean?”
Lily shrugged.
“I don’t know? If you’re curious, follow me and ask when Desferacio wakes up. Of course, don’t hate it. Because I have no reason to take you with me. Then go. hi.”
I was slightly shaken by the sight of him turning around without regret.
what to do
I was curious to send it like that. Even if I stayed on the ship anyway, there was nothing to do. On top of that, there was still a lot of information to be gleaned from Desferacio, who was quiet.
“Your face is already full of regret. just take it easy I’ll tell others well.”
Master Pridya took hold of my hand and tapped the ring she had given me. A ring that resonates with Master’s ring and can track my location at any time.
“If you’re very late, I’ll go find you. Please come back before it’s too late.”
“Yes, Master.”
Having made up my mind, I chased after Lily.
“Did you really follow Desperacio’s words?”
“What did Desferacio say?”
“I heard that if you pretend to look like something and withdraw without regret, all the men will come after you out of curiosity?”
“…”
