My Villains Episode 152

39. Uninvited Guest (1)

Utequai chuckled as he watched the mercenaries retreating.

“Zui, zui! “Like a dog, run away without your tail!”

Leaving behind that boisterous laughter, I hurriedly walked away. Longville’s soldiers retreated like the ebbing tide, their eyes filled with something that could not be known from awe or wariness.

When I reached the well in the backyard of the residence, I hurriedly scooped up the bucket.

Okay.

The cold well water wipes away the blood and cools down the fever… … .

“haha.”

I sighed and sat down on a long wooden stool. When my breathing stabilized, I remembered the voice.

An unpleasant voice containing ridicule or encouragement.

Aside from being uncomfortable, it didn’t feel unfamiliar, so my mind was confused.

“ Huu•••••• A dockside filled with trembling fish and a fishy smell. A thirsty night and a narrow, dark salt castle. A bright dawn and a breath of fresh air in the fields.

That hot breath. A breath of ecstasy.

okay. Why is this happening now?

“trunnion?”

“Ellen.”

Ellen entered the backyard with the hem of her robe fluttering and approached me with a stern expression on her face.

“Your face… … . are you okay?”

“••••••no.”

The guy wasn’t alone.

“oh-”

Master Cassright, a wizard with a warm appearance, made eye contact with me and smiled awkwardly.

“Uhm, well, I am.”

“I guess I’ll just have to go. Uh-whale, she heard the Baroness collapsed? I think I need to make some medicine… …

While rambling like that, she looked like she was about to cry.

As I was quietly looking at her, Ellen came out, swallowing dry saliva.

“Go quickly. Because it’s okay.”

“Oh, that’s kind too…” …

Master Casswright left the backyard as if he was running away.

Ellen approached me with a stern expression on her face.

“what’s the matter? what’s the matter?”

The boy’s blue eyes are full of concern. A pure white hand reached out and touched my face.

It was only then that I realized that there was no mark on my face.

Phoenix has a cold expression, so I have to smile as much as possible. He keeps forgetting that.

“trunnion.” « O ”

He smiled a familiar smile.

“I’m okay. “What did you go to?”

“They said it wasn’t okay.”

“Did you say ‘reagent of confirmation’? eat that

saw?”

Ellen, who was looking into my eyes with a worried expression, narrowed her brows slightly.

“… … Speak quickly. “Don’t change your mind.”

It doesn’t work.

“Why do you keep asking me, I’m fine.”

“Something is wrong. “Do you think I’m a fool?”

“It wasn’t?”

“hey!”

“Ugh, it’s noisy.”

When I kept changing the subject, he

I shut my mouth.

Then he said, ‘I’m mad!’ He was glaring at me with that face.

I quietly scratched my eyebrows.

“that is.”

“that is?”

“It’s just that my head is a little confused.”

“Are you making that face because your head is a bit complicated?”

“What is that look on your face?”

Ellen hesitated for a moment in response to my question, then shook her head.

“Anyway, don’t be frustrated and tell me quickly.”

… … Ellen This guy seems to have become more stubborn since his confession at the mountain cabin. Maybe it’s my mood?

As he continued to harass me, I finally told him the story.

“Strange voice… …

Ellen, who was thinking deeply about something, looked around and lowered her voice.

“… … “Isn’t it because of the soul?”

” soul?”

“They say that as the soul from another dimension came in, those memories also flowed in.”

“Oh, that… …

As I trailed off, he continued speaking in a very confident manner.

“That’s probably right. “The influence that memories have on the mind is enormous.”

“Of course, that’s true,”

“Have you ever heard a voice like that before absorbing that soul?”

“before?”

Before absorbing the soul.

Even when I was Seungsu Kim, I had the experience of hearing a strange voice. But that was a little different from this one. He had a different subject and direction… … .

“I do not remember’?”

“… … well.”

My memories as Phoenix were still blurry. Things he learned and felt during his training and facts about his family were relatively clear, but other memories were incomplete.

All that came to mind were the barriers erected in all directions and sharp thorns.

“I’m not sure.”

“AO” —

Ellen, who was silent for a moment, spoke as if making a declaration.

“I’ll solve it.”

“… … what? how?”

In response to my question, the guy smiled meaningfully.

“I’ll teach you at night.”

“huh. “I’m looking forward to it.”

… … I’ll teach you at night, so look forward to it?

“Uh, what?”

While I was wrestling with the devil in my head, Ellen left the backyard.

On my way back to my room, a young maid was waiting for me in the hallway.

“I finished my work, Sir.”

“This is what you asked me to do in the morning.”

“••••••Oh right.”

As I looked around, the maid was quick to say something.

“He is in the room.”

“Uh, really? thank you.”

“And here’s the change… …

The maid fumbled and held out a silver coin and three or four coins. I smiled and took the silver coin.

“For the rest, go buy something delicious with your friends.”

“oh. Thank you, Nari.”

I entered the room, leaving behind the smiling young maid.

The swordsman, no, a bunch of swordsmen in the room bowed their heads.

“It’s nice to see you.”

“… … Yes, I’m glad to see you too.”

Trying not to laugh at his awkward greeting, I looked through the bundle of clothes.

A short outerwear with several buckles on the front and a beige top made of cotton. Bottoms and leather shoes that cover the ankles. As requested, he was dressed neatly and comfortably.

“Is it pretty?”

“Eh, eh?”

“Is it because the proportions are good? matches well.”

“No, it’s Mida… …

Mungchi lowered his gaze and fiddled with the hem of his clothes.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“yes. Be strict.”

I took off my armor and sat down on the bed.

“What do you want to do now?”

“How are you?”

“I have to decide which way to go. “Don’t you want to go back to your hometown?”

As soon as I finished my question, Mungchi shook his head.

“It’s not me. “I’m not going home.”

“… … It’s so fast. “Then what do you want to do?”

The guy hesitated for a while, unable to come up with a suitable answer. The eyes rolling back and forth and the hands touching the hem of the coat are very sad.

“… … “What do you think of the chief?”

“what?”

“Mr. Chief, where are you going?”

I felt dizzy for a moment and asked Mungchi back.

“By any chance, are you calling me master just now?”

“… … ah.”

The guy looked sideways at me and said.

“Chief, is it not possible?”

“Of course not. “Call me by my name.”

“to… …

Mungchi’s eyes were clouded with disappointment. But even for a moment, the guy’s eyes twinkled as if he realized something.

gulp.

The lump that swallowed saliva noisily opened its mouth carefully,

“……trunnion?”

Then he looked at my eyes.

“Keuhum,”

I nodded, suppressing the laughter that came out of my mouth.

“Uhm, call me that if it’s more convenient for you.”

“Hey,”

Mungchi grinned, smiled, and nodded. It was an added bonus that she held both hands together and shook the back of her head.

… … Oh my, that’s cute.

It reminds me of when he was a bundle, that is, when he was a little pig, and I want to play pranks on him.

“Okay.”

no. Wake up, Gimpo Inix! The mungchi is now a fully grown virgin, not a piglet. This means that you can no longer pinch your nose, fold your ears, or bury your face in your stomach.

… … Come to think of it, I also took a bath with Mungchi. Ha, crazy. I’m embarrassed once again.

As I was lost in random thoughts, the bundle of feet that had been shaking suddenly opened its mouth.

“I’m going with Poi.”

“huh?”

“Poi and I want to go together.”

“You want to go with me?”

Nod vigorously.

“yes. “I’m strong.”

“… … Power will do. But do you know where I’m going?”

After pausing for a moment, Mungchi shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

“however?”

“however? “I want to go with you.”

“why?”

The guy, who had stopped shaking, took a while to choose his words.

“I don’t know. Be strict.”

“Nothing, what do you mean?”

“Why are you so strict?”

“There’s no reason?”

“yes.”

Just like before, the bundle’s eyes were shining black like stars.

“Hey, poi joa.”

Just a few slurred words and a quick look were enough to feel his sincerity.

“Let’s go together.”

I burst out laughing at the endless trust, affection, and desire that was conveyed from heart to heart.

“okay. Let’s go together.”

“swimming.”

The guy’s small lips also gently bit into a smile.

As I sat face to face with my friend and talked about various things, the sun had already set.

While I was thinking about having a quick meal, a soldier brought me news.

“… … “Who came?”

“Count Tristan’s second son has arrived. Lord Killian is also with us.”

“Lord Killian? I heard that he disappeared from Longville immediately after the lord went missing, so why does he suddenly appear?”

When I asked the question, the soldier looked embarrassed.

“Well, I’m not sure. “I was simply told to deliver the news to the Lord and bring him alone.”

I followed the soldier out of the room, feeling somewhat uncomfortable and curious at the same time.

The sunset was setting.

The hallway of the residence that opened onto the courtyard was cool. This is because the wind blowing in the evening was very cool. It’s already September.

While heading towards the hall, I encountered a familiar silhouette. A woman wearing a chiffon dress, a thin skirt, and a white headkerchief.

“Daio, or Baroness?”

” ah.”

Daionea, who was looking down at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, blushed when she saw me. As she turned her head and cleared her throat, the soldiers around her retreated.

“Lord Phoenix.”

“… … Um, did you get any sleep?”

As I approached, Dionea, with her neck covered in fur, answered with a calm expression.

“yes. It’s been a while since I slept well. “I woke up when guests came.”

“I see… …

Glancing down, she saw that most of the flowers she was looking at had withered. Only Latria had stiff heads, but they too were fading purple.

A short silence.

The sunset scene in the courtyard reminded me of the fire that was lit around noon. Cute crying sounds and desperate body movements. White, thin, soft body.

I tried to shake off my thoughts and opened my mouth.

“Shouldn’t you go? I heard the count’s second son has arrived… …

“I’m a guest who came without warning. “You can wait a little while.”

Dionea hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“I’d like to take a walk for a bit. Can I ask for an escort?”

“Of course, ma’am.”

I held out my left arm and she slowly placed her hand on it. A smile appeared on her red face.

Dionea looked like a withered flower.

The sad atmosphere, beautiful face, and slender shoulders were exactly alike.

Dry flowers often become drenched with even a single drop of dew.

Dionea was like that too. He was so happy that even a single drop of love was overwhelming, and he gave off a bright glow.

“Five years ago in the spring.”

Dionea, who was quietly walking around the courtyard, spoke in a low voice.

“I planted flowers here.”

“Five years ago.”

“When I married the Baron.”

Whiing, a cool wind blew. The feeling of touch on his left arm increased.

“Since then, I have bloomed alone and withered alone. “Without any meaning, without anyone watching.”

Eyes filled with complex consideration scanned the courtyard.

“Every year around this time, I find comfort here. “Watching the flowers wither.”

“I felt less lonely. “Because I can feel like I’m not alone.”

The courtyard was not large. Even at a slow pace, one lap passed quickly.

“Blooming flowers are beautiful in many different ways, but withering flowers are ugly in one way.”

“So, thank you. “Lord Phoenics.”

“… … “Which one do you mean?”

“This year, I don’t feel any emotion while watching the flowers wither.”

Dionea smiled brightly.

“It’s thanks to you”

4 Wow, all the trees were withering, but as soon as the first girl came, they bloomed.
