My Villains Episode 107
27. Mountain hut (3)
As I was looking around the mountain cabin in a daze, I heard Ellen’s voice.
“Why are you fooling around alone? “You look like a jerk.”
The guy who said that lifted up slightly and landed on my arm. I suddenly picked Ellen up and shook her head.
“… … No, no. “Let’s go in and rest quickly.”
“huh. “My legs are still numb.”
“uh? “What’s wrong with your legs?”
“I don’t know either. “Maybe it’s because I rode the carriage for too long.”
Well, the car shook quite a bit while riding the dizzying mountain road… … .
“let’s hurry. “I’ll give you a massage after eating.”
“… … “It’s annoying.” “Why bother? All I have to do is lie still.”
I left behind the guy who was turning his head with a sullen expression and spoke to Ute Kwai.
“Quickly and bring the spotted dog. Take a bundle too.”
“The lump was very big. “It’s time to catch it and eat it.”
“… … “I’m warning you in advance, but if you touch it again, you’ll be beaten to the point where you’re on the verge of being kicked out.”
Utequai smiled, holding the trembling bundle at his side.
“Baby wild boar is very delicious if you roast it whole. The flesh is so soft. The meat juice flows out and the flavor is moderately rich. “Why don’t you know what it tastes like?”
“Crazy guy. Give it to me, dude!”
As I snatch the bundle from Utequai, the delicate piglet snuggles into my arms and meows.
Then this time Ellen suddenly frowned.
“Why don’t you get rid of that little pig? “It stinks!” “The smell is all over my body, so why are you making such a fuss?”
“… … “It’s annoying.” I gave a coin to the young stable keeper, left Spotted Dog in his care, and entered the mountain cabin. The cabin was quite clean and spacious considering it was located in the mountains.
We rented two rooms for four pieces of silver, but there were no household items, so we had to lie down on the blankets we brought. Well, I liked it because there was just a little dust and no bad smell.
I was also satisfied that there was a bath room in the corner of the first floor. After paying a few coins, the workers at the lodge provided me with hot water. Thanks to this, Ellen and I were able to take a bath in warm water for the first time in a long time.
After taking a bath and going up to the room, Ellen, who was drying her hair, looked at the bundle in my arms and looked cold.
“Did you wash with that hairball again?”
“why. “What’s wrong?”
“What are you going to do if you catch a disease?”
“You always wash it so soft and soft, what kind of illness is it?”
I lifted the front paw of the dozing bundle and pointed at Ellen.
“that’s right! “Why are you always being mean to me?”
“What about you, sister?”
“Then I’ll call you ajumma! Do you know how clean I am? “It even covers poop and urine well!”
Ellen shook her head as if she was shocked by the voice imitating a pig.
I tied up the bundle and roughly wiped the armor I had taken off with a cloth. He then left the lodge wearing only his breastplate, vambrace, and greaves.
Ute Kwai was washing himself at the well in front of the lodge. He has a unique appearance and size, so he doesn’t seem to care at all even though people will stare at him. It’s quite shameless.
I took Ute Kwai and headed to the tavern. The loud singing voice became increasingly clearer.
“I am like a river! It flows – the old road is not walked -”
The candles in the candle holders on the wall and the iron decorations on the ceiling brightly lit up the room.
“You can’t tie me up with chains-”
There were eight large round tables, and the boards on the floor had been recently replaced, so there wasn’t a single bruise in the corner.
“Even the keys! There’s no need-”
And, soldiers and mercenaries.
They were tapping their beer glasses on the table, stamping their feet, and singing at the top of their lungs.
“Someone like me! find-”
And, a woman was dancing on the table in the center. She was a tall woman with very long arms and legs.
“Do something naughty-”
Light body movements, light hand movements.
The rhythm of clapping hands, tapping heels, and stamping feet is extremely exciting.
“There’s a lot of work to be done!”
A dance that is both vulgar yet luxurious, and funny yet mysterious. Lightly tanned skin and dripping sweat steal attention.
Youth shines brightly.
“Just have a drink! “Try it!”
In an instant, the woman’s eyes met. Light brown eyes. I took a deep breath.
Ellen, covered in a robe, glanced at the dancing woman and frowned.
“You’re a Nude people, right? “It’s vulgar.” Over the years, I have had many conversations with many people, including Ellen. Since there was nothing else to do during the long journey, we just chatted to kill time. Thanks to this, my common sense has become quite rich.
The ‘Nudein people’ was one of those common sense items.
The Nudein are said to be a nomadic people who began wandering Middleworld around the time the ancient empire fell. When I heard the story, of course I thought of gypsies… … . The Nude people were very different from the image I had imagined.
“In love, falling is-” The drinkers’ song and the woman’s dance continued. It was a new dance move that suited the new rhythm.
“Sweet, trap!”
The hair flowed softly.
Her hair, which was tied up in a high bun, was decorated with three or four rings and red cloth.
“In my heart, when it fills up-”
Is this Nuden’s traditional clothing? The woman was wearing a type of clothing I had never seen before.
Large ring-shaped earrings, a red band wrapped around the left forearm, cloth clothes that expose the waist and legs, and ankles and bare feet with rings fluttering around.
“Young man, be careful!”
The woman was attractive. Her features were cool and her smile was bright. His eyebrows were straight, and his bright brown eyes sparkled like stars.
Her arms, legs, and abdomen were fully exposed, and the flickering light gently sculpted the valley carved out by her muscles.
“Throw away the cross and-”
When I stretched out my arms and bent my back, my abdominal muscles were revealed, and when I lifted my feet, my thighs became elastic and tightened.
And even lightly tanned skin. It was a beautifully trained body reminiscent of a fitness model or athlete.
“You’ll fall into the abyss!”
Until I sat down at an empty table, I couldn’t take my eyes off the dancing woman. Her charm alone was reason enough to steal my attention from her, but I had more reasons than that. Because then, something hit my shin under the table. Then,
“Ugh,”
Ellen, who was sitting next to me, made a groaning noise and was clutching her foot.
“… … “What are you doing?”
“Ugh. “Are you wearing gaiters?”
“Genpads? huh.”
“Eui, why are you wearing that? “You’re not wearing any other armor!”
“Why are you giving me a promotion? I kicked you out.”
Ellen, speechless, huffs to herself. I sighed, grabbed his foot, and pulled it onto my thigh.
“No, where did a guy who can’t even walk get the strength to open a joint?”
“Does it hurt a lot?”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute. Until then,”
Ignoring his resistance, I took off my shoes and examined his feet.
“It was just a loud noise, but it didn’t look like you were particularly hurt.”
“So, I said it was okay, you idiot…” … Faint voice. Ellen’s face, revealed beneath her robe, was bright red.
I guess I still can’t get used to touching bare skin. It’s not unusual to see someone who is always shy.
Ellen became quiet, and as Nomi Jung approached, she ordered food. After ordering a lot of things, she ended up paying five pieces of silver.
The cost of using a mountain lodge is also crazy, reminiscent of the siege of South Harbor. If you stay here too long, you’ll quickly become a beggar.
Since I spent a lot of money every time I stopped at a village during my journey, my pocketbook became considerably lighter.
The money left now… … About twenty gold coins and sixty silver coins.
Of course, this is a large amount of money, and there are diamonds if you can, so there is no need to worry right away. However, I feel like I wasted my money and it makes me reflect a little.
As I was putting away my money bag, someone came up to the table and started talking to me.
“hi. “Can I sit down for a moment?”
“uh?”
The person who spoke like that was none other than the woman who was dancing!
While I was frozen in an unexpected situation, Ute Kwai was observing the woman closely. Ellen remained silent with her face set.
“Umm-”
The woman sat down across from him before even hearing the answer. She tossed her gray hair behind her shoulder and looked at me. Then she suddenly asked a question.
“Where did we see you before?”
” huh?”
“Have you and I ever met?” The woman who asked that was smiling. She had a nice smile.
“Um, no. “I think it’s my first time seeing you.”
“right? Well, there’s no way I wouldn’t remember a face like that.”
Playful tone. The eyes were full of curiosity.
“‘That kind of face’?”
“huh. It’s just my taste. “You’re so handsome, you.”
“……uh?”
It was a mantra I had never heard before in my life, and I couldn’t help but be taken aback. Kim Seung-su’s face was a bit short of being handsome. Even since becoming Poynix, there has never been a woman who approaches me so unhesitatingly.
Well, there was Daria, but she wasn’t the type to throw a fastball like this… … .
Seeing that I couldn’t find the words to reply, the woman was snickering.
“But what if you stare at me with that face? “You almost fell off the table.”
“Oh, well. sorry. “I thought he looked a bit like someone I know.”
The woman giggled for a moment and said.
“I didn’t mean to get an apology. But who is that ‘acquaintance’?”
“huh?”
“A person who looks like me. It’s a girl, right? ‘Yeah ttwa’?”
… … what is this. Do men and women who meet each other for the first time have this conversation? Does Anne have a strange personality?
“huh? Pretty?”
No, no. This might be the life of good-looking guys. It’s not strange, it’s just an unfamiliar situation.
Yes, it’s a matter of adaptation. The process of getting used to life as a Phoenix,
“You smell like sweat, so why don’t you just turn it off?”
Ellen, who had been silent, cut off my worries and shot at the woman.
The woman’s expression hardened for a moment and she smelled her arm. She then smiled awkwardly.
“Hmm, I don’t think it smells bad.”
“It might be okay for the Nudein, but it’s disgusting for us to take on. Lose your appetite
“Stop it!”
“Hey, you’re being too harsh.”
Ellen glared at me at my dissuasion.
“What’s so serious about talking?”
“You’re disgusting when you meet someone for the first time. Also, it doesn’t smell bad, so why are you doing that?”
Ellen blushed at my words and turned her head.
Well, it seemed like I was unintentionally taking the side of a woman I had never met instead of Ellen. I can’t help it.
I looked back at the woman and smiled slightly.
“Hey, I’m sorry. “My group felt a little uncomfortable hanging out with strangers.”
The woman who was smiling as if she was interested tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand.
“Hmm?”
“It was nice to meet you. “I’ll see you again next time I get a chance.”
At the obvious invitation to congratulate the guests, the woman with a slightly cracked smile shrugged her shoulders and stood up.
“… … Well, okay. “I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again.”
Just as the woman was about to turn around,
“Oh, wait a minute.”
” hmm’?”
“Can I hear your name?”
I looked him in the eye with a question. she asked back, narrowing her eyes.
“In times like this, isn’t it polite to reveal your name first?”
“ah. “I’m Nick.”
“Nix? It’s Nyx… … The woman savored my pseudonym for a moment and then smiled.
“That’s a strange name.”
“you?”
“… … ‘Attilia’.”
“Atili ah?”
I guess that’s not the name?
When I frowned, the woman frowned.
“why? Is there a problem?”
“No, no. “It was nice to meet you, Atilia.”
“… … me too. then.”
The woman who introduced herself as Atilia looked at me for a moment. Then she turned around and went back to her companions, who appeared to be Nu Dane people.
As far as I know, her name was not Atilia.
Atalanta. Vision Hunter Atalanta.
That was her name.
