confederate?
confederate?
The Owl Woman, who had been walking alone in front of me for a long time, stopped.
“Wait here for a minute.”
The Owl Robe Woman stopped and looked at Lily and me alternately, then nodded slightly.
“It is impossible without permission to expose the client’s residence. I’ll go ahead and ask. It may take a little while.”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
Lily leaned the fainting Desperacio against a nearby wall as if it really didn’t matter, and sat down casually next to her. The Owl Woman, who was staring at the scene, added a word.
“Don’t run away. If I run away, I become a braggart.”
“okay. okay. I will never run away, so hurry up and come. If I had left on time to say that, I would have already arrived. is not it?”
The little sarcasm made the owl woman slightly frown. She was about to say something more, but then let out a big sigh and left.
Alone with Lily, there was an awkward silence between the man and her. In the first place, it hadn’t been long before I met that black rabbit woman, and I’d never had a conversation with just the two of us.
Lily sat down against the wall as if she didn’t really want to have a personal conversation with me, staring blankly into space.
In the midst of the silence, only black rabbit ears swayed in the wind in time. I stood and waited for the Owl Woman.
Come to think of it, I still don’t know the name. Well, he didn’t seem to teach me anything, so I didn’t bother asking. We’ve never met in good enough circumstances to exchange names. Because I only met when I had an accident or an accident.
If there’s anything I’m curious about, I was a little curious about how the sorcery works and how it handles power. If I could learn and use it, it could have been a pretty useful combat tool.
I heard from Master at first glance that shamans are reluctant to reveal the secrets of their powers, so if I dare to ask, the possibility of me answering quickly will also converge to zero.
“What are you doing.”
What lifted me from my deep thoughts was a word Lily threw out. As I turned my head at the sound of my calling, black eyes stared at me. She pricked her black bunny ears once and pointed to the side with her chin.
“If you’re standing there blankly, why don’t you just come and sit down, unless there’s a specific reason? It’s a little annoying to have you standing right in the middle of my field of vision. It’s a bit daunting too.”
“All right.”
I didn’t stand because I had a reason to stand, so I sat next to Lily as she pointed out. While I was speechless, I sat down next to him and started talking. just like she did
“What is the ultimate goal of Desferacio?”
“what?”
A small wrinkle dug between his brows. She looked at me with a frown on her face, as if she had heard a strange noise.
“What answer do you want from me? Don’t you think I have to give you all the answers unconditionally just because you ask?”
“I was just asking. You are very sharp.”
“what. It’s obvious you intended to ask me separately.”
She glanced at me and snapped and shot the horse.
“Desferacio doesn’t reveal his true feelings very well, and he acts like a snarl, so even though his personality is damn good, he’s trying to get information out of me, who has a lot of marks on his face.”
I was a little surprised.
It was partly because she was perfectly right, but what was more surprising was that this rabbit woman, who had been acting like a fool, was surprisingly quite objective about herself.
“You are quick-witted.”
“Do you know that there are only one or two kids like you? All I do is ask me, ‘What is Desferacio trying to do?’ ‘What is that bastard doing again this time?’ You don’t know how annoying I am when you ask me, ‘Wasn’t Desferacio responsible for this incident?’ No, if you’re curious like that, ask yourself!”
Screaming loudly, Lily drooped her ears slightly and muttered in a small voice, ‘How do I know what that dog shit is really hiding inside of me?’
“Looks like Desferacio tells you everything and doesn’t act.”
“under?”
Lily let out a small breath and glared at me with an even more unpleasant expression than before.
I must have stabbed the part that really annoyed her.
“I thought you were just a guy who fell in love, but you have a knack for scraping people’s moods more than I thought.”
“I was just asking. Every time I say something, you reply so pointedly that I’m afraid to speak up.”
“Is this what I’m being sensitive to?”
“Is Lily sensitive? To be honest, it’s not entirely wrong.”
“hey!!!”
The target of her shouting was not me, but Desperacio, who had just risen from his seat with a rustle. Because of the deep blue mask that covered his face so that even the eyes could not be seen, it was impossible to know when Desperacio had been awake.
“Who did I become like this for! It’s all your fault!”
Desperacio shook his head from side to side, let out a groan, and replied deftly.
“I, who have always been with Lily, are so relaxed and full of peace in my heart even after going through the same situation
. He spoke in a very mischievous voice.
“Isn’t it because Lily’s heart is originally sharp?”
“Just get out and search!”
Jumping up, Lily rushed at Desferacio like a beast. She gave Desperacio a terrible articulation with a very skillful combination. Desperacio, strangled and suffering from joint pain, slammed the floor and screamed urgently.
“…surrender! surrender! A real surrender! Keck.”
Lily only released him after torturing Desferacio a little more. Desperacio, who had barely been freed, inhaled and exhaled heavily to calm his breathing.
“No, I almost died this time. Did you go halfway to see him in the high heavens as your vision went white?”
“Thank you for cutting me off round-trip. why? Any complaints? Can you send me back one way?”
“Oh my gosh… That’s why they said raising a daughter is useless… I’ve been through so much to raise Lily! It seems like just yesterday, from when I was the size of a fist to when I was carrying a breastfeeding bag on my back!”
grow up? Were those two women? More than that, is Desperacio older than I thought?
When Desperacio sat down and pretended to cry by hitting the ground, Lily’s face turned red.
“Don’t bullshit!!! You know he believes that he’s real!”
Only then did Desperacio chuckle again.
“Still, isn’t it true that I often carried it on my back because they asked me to carry it when I was only dancing? At that time, Dad and Dad followed Lily, but she was really cute.”
“I’ve never had that before!!!”
“Did you two have a father-daughter relationship?”
Desperacio nodded at my question.
“It’s pretty much the same. Because I took and raised Lily when she was little. When I was very young, I was a gentle child who followed adults well. How could it happen like that…”
“It’s all because of your home education that only causes accidents!!!”
“…was raised wonderfully. I really don’t know who raised them, but they raised them really well. That person must be a 100-point parent. Ah yes.”
“under?”
Lily just stared at Desferacio, who nodded in satisfaction as she praised herself at once.
He nodded a few more times as if savoring the afterglow, then turned to me.
“By the way, Priest Marnak really followed alone.”
“Because I still have questions.”
“Good. It went very well.”
He sat down on the floor and patted the seat next to him. Looking at it now, the tapping was very similar to the way Lily asked me to sit down earlier.
“I wanted to talk with the priest just the two of us like this. With no colleagues around, frankly.”
I got off my butt and went to sit next to him again.
“Sounds like I have something to say to you alone.”
“It would be more accurate to have questions rather than words.”
“What is it?”
“If I ask you, will you answer honestly?”
“Wouldn’t that depend on the question?”
Desferacio, who was staring at me with a bare mask with only patterns on it, tapped his own mask, and one of the smooth mask’s eye sockets opened, revealing his eyes for the first time.
Deeply immersed, blue eyes that look close to black at first glance. However, whenever light shone, a blue light shimmered incessantly in the black darkness.
He opened his mouth slowly. never in a hurry
“They say it’s hard to lie when people look into each other’s eyes.”
“Isn’t that what a person is?”
“Priest Marnak.”
After a brief pause, he spoke again.
“How far can you risk the means for the sake of the end?”
“Why are you asking that? It’s hard to see that it’s a subject you should ask when you’re alone like this.”
Desperacio’s eyes widened.
“That’s right, Priest Marnak seems to want to remain a good kid in front of his colleagues. That’s why I prepared a cozy place like this.”
“Never before.”
“Don’t you ever want to do that?”
A tone that strangely scratches people’s stomach. Rather, I smiled at that attitude. There was absolutely no reason to be angry at this kind of rubbish.
“What do you want to ask?”
“I am pointing out the dual attitude of Priest Marnak. Now listen to me and think carefully.”
He stretched out his finger and pointed at himself.
“Who am I?”
“One of the six prophets of the Liberatio?”
“No, no. That answer is wrong. The answer is this.”
Desperacio pricked his own chest with his thumb.
“Human scum that the Miss Worker caused a large-scale massacre in Beatus, the territory of the Irmel family, the family of the Princess of Dacia that you cherish so much. A ruthless villain who regards human life as a worm if it is for his own ends. An incurable evil that speaks three tongues. This is the correct answer. Think very carefully.”
He slowly reached out his fingers and cooked and poked my chest.
“Why didn’t the righteous priest Marnak, who pursued good to save the miserable and cut down incurable evil, cut me down as soon as he saw me?”
“…”
The tone is soft, but somehow you can feel the beat. He spoke to me as if in unusual rhyme.
“The answer is very simple. Just because I seemed useful. The priest is a person who can use even this incurable evil to obtain the holy object he seeks. In other words…”
He spat out a simple conclusion.
“As soon as I saw Priest Marnak for the second time, I had a gut feeling. ‘Oh this man. They’re the kind of people I can talk to!’ My words…”
My hands were faster than his words. There shouldn’t have been any signs, but black rabbit ears narrowed the gap. I grabbed Desferacio’s neck and struck Lily’s steel boots with the scabbard.
Caang!!!
“Ouch!”
clear metallic sound. The metal boots slightly buckled from the impact. Without delay, I kicked Lily in the stomach with my foot.
“Kuk!”
With a low moan, Lily rolled backwards. I lightly shook my sword and threw away the sheath. Along with the bleak blue blade, the sword ‘Despair’ presented by Master revealed its true form.
bang!
Grabbing the leash, Desferacio’s face was violently slammed into the wall once, and he brought despair to his neck and shouted.
“If you move even one step, I will slash you!”
Lily, who jumped up from her seat like a spring, tried to lunge at me again, but then stopped. I whispered in Desferacio’s ear.
“Did you expect this too?”
“Cool.”
There was a small crack on the blue mask because it was hit by a wall. Desperacio was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
“This is beyond imagination. It’s much better than I thought…”
“I don’t think you’re ready to talk yet.”
“yes?”
bang!
I didn’t need an answer. I slammed Desferacio’s face into the wall once more. The crack in the mask widened with a loud noise.
“stop!!!”
Amidst Lily’s screams, I asked Desferacio a question…
“Tell me honestly.”
“Cool!”
Thin lines of blood flowing through the cracks in the mask. I paused for a moment, just like Desferacio did earlier, then grinned and whispered.
“You still think it’s a good idea to talk to me alone?”
