My Villains Episode 156
39. Uninvited Guest (5)
Leaving the warm atmosphere behind, I returned to the room with Ellen. The guy opened his mouth, wiping away the light pink tip of his nose and the tears in his eyes.
“I think it went well.”
“Boony?”
«Ugh» Hmm*
“okay. He’s a good and sincere guy, so he works too.
“You’ll do well.”
“that’s right. however… …
For a moment, the warmth seeped into my small face
All emotion evaporated.
“What’s this?”
“… … What does ‘this’ mean to people?
“That’s it.”
“Just answer me. “You can’t believe it,”
What Ellen was looking at with cold eyes was none other than a bundle.
“You’re not planning on letting it sleep here, are you?”
“Uh, that’s-”
I was thinking back to the words I had prepared and suddenly looked back at the bundle. He was sitting next to the head of her bed… … .
“… … But why are you doing this?”
“Uh uh.”
To describe the bundle, it was with its back against the wall, its buttocks on the bare floor, its right shoulder pressed against my bed, and its knees hugging. In that state, his fingers were twitching meaninglessly, and his shaking eyes were looking at me and Ellen alternately.
“••••••why?”
And even a small, slurred voice.
Literally, the octopus itself… … !
“Why would you do that?”
“to.”
The curse of mutation was lifted, and Mung-chi became a normal-looking woman. No, she’s not even remotely okay.
Long and large eyes, flowing hair near the nape of the neck, a cute nose with a slightly low nose bridge, small but plump lips, long and slender arms and legs, transparent white skin… … .
Although she is of a different race in this neighborhood, she has an indisputably pretty face.
“••••♦•Phew.”
I couldn’t help but sigh as the thing that looked like that looked more withdrawn than when it was a piglet.
I looked down at the big black eyes and patted the bed sheets.
“Come up and sit down. “My butt hurts.”
“It’s a nice treat.”
“Ganchanseumida is a piece of shit. “I told you to come up and sit down instead of being uncomfortable.”
“to… … . It’s really sweet. “This is the first posture I’ve ever done.”
“… … What is he saying now.”
As I mumbled and touched my forehead, the bundle with a puzzled expression suddenly stood up.
“Jaeseong Hammida, please sit down.”
“No, what am I sorry for?”
“Uh, no. That’s me, no, I’m, uh, reborn, no… …
It was quite unfortunate that he was neither sitting nor standing, but rather stuttering in an awkward position. I waved my hand as I looked at her frozen, embarrassed face.
“No, what are you saying? “It just means take it easy.”
“Uh, uh… …
“I’m not angry. “You have a good year.”
When I said that and smiled intentionally, Mungchi nodded. And then, “Yes, thank you.”
He said and sat down in his original seat. In a polite squat position
That is.
I guess I should teach Milano quickly.
While I was making that promise to myself, Ellen, who had already taken off her cloak and put it aside, asked me another question.
“So what are you going to do? “Are you going to let me sleep here?”
… … Ah, double the stress!
I suppressed the irritation rising up and made a nonchalant expression.
“Ellen.”
uh?”
“I told you not to do this or that to people.”
At the soft words, the guy closed his mouth for a moment and then hesitated, licking his lips.
“… … “That was a pig.”
“not now.”
“I know. But, well, I need time to adjust too. “Suddenly, the animal turned into a person.”
“What’s there to be confused about? “He is a person from what I can see.”
“… … “I’m confused.”
When I see Ellen brazenly insisting but also paying attention, I burst out laughing.
“Ellen.”
“••••♦♦Why.”
While I was trying to get to the point, my first thought when I saw the guy looking intimidated was that I needed to comfort him.
“Would you like a hug?”
“••••♦♦Huh?”
“Do you want to hug me?”
When I opened my hands, Ellen glanced at the bundle and lowered her head.
“… … “He sees it.”
“bundle? “Wow, you didn’t even treat me like a human just a moment ago.”
“I told you. Now that I’m a human, I’m getting used to it… …
I caught a glimpse of the guy tapping the floor with his toes and looked back at the bundle.
“It’s a bunch.”
“Eh, yes?” “Would you like to close your eyes for a moment?”
“… … “Is it snow?”
“Yeah, wait a minute.”
At my request, Mungchi closed his eyes tightly and even covered his palms.
“ruler.”
You can keep your arms straight now, right? He looked at Ellen with an expression that said,
The guy who was pouting for a moment immediately came into my arms.
As the hair brushed the tip of my nose, a refreshing lime scent wafted through the air. To enjoy that scent, I stroked Ellen’s shiny blonde hair, patted her small back, and took a deep breath.
The guy trembled as if my breath touched the back of his neck, but Ellen just hugged my chest tighter and didn’t react in any way.
“Ellen.”
« o ” h •
“I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but I’m truly worried.”
The guy with his face buried near my collarbone muttered something. But the words were almost like a crackling sound, so I couldn’t hear them properly even with my ears.
“You don’t have to be kind to everyone, but let’s not make enemies.”
“I’m trying.”
“Just be more careful with what you say. huh?”
“••••••Yes.”
How long has it been like that?
When I grabbed her shoulder and gently pushed her away, Ellen, who held on for a moment, took a couple of steps back. He swallowed her dry saliva with his blue eyes half downcast.
It was easy to tell where Ellen’s gaze was directed. She could clearly see what he wanted.
“ O ” n •
I had a burning desire to live up to those expectations, but I managed to hold back.
I was afraid that my weak self-control would collapse like a sand castle while keeping up with Ellen’s expectations. Then, I will exceed his expectations and swim for days, absorbed in his blue eyes.
I forcefully turned my head and called out to him.
“… … “Moongchi, you can open your eyes now.” “Uh, yes… … Both cheeks of the bundle were red, as if there were handprints left behind.
“ Q ” “司三
Ellen took a couple of steps back again. She tried to ignore the slightly disappointed expression he gave her.
“Ellen, please take care of me.”
“Who?”
“A bundle.”
w……o ugh
Ellen curled her trembling fingers and folded her arms, pretending to be calm.
“Hmm, why?”
“As you can see, he’s not good at playing games and seems to lack some common sense. “I want you to teach me this and that.”
“… … Leave it to someone else. “I can’t do that.”
“Who else?”
I burst out laughing.
“You can’t ask Utequai for a favor. “Amias’ kids are the ones who haven’t learned anything.”
“You can do it.”
“You have enough common sense to teach someone.”
One person, me? “Did you forget I asked you how to spend silver in South Harbor?”
“That was before I regained my memories, and now I have them back?”
… … I’m going to skip over it a little bit, because I’m stubborn about useless things.
I gently took Ellen’s hand and shrugged my shoulders.
“Well, like I said during the day, my head is a little complicated.”
“… … “Because of that strange voice?”
“huh. “I can’t be a teacher when I’m in that state.” I touched the back of her hand and looked into her blue eyes.
“That’s why I’m asking you a favor.
huh?”
After hesitating for a moment, Ellen finally sighed and nodded.
“… … okay. Then there’s nothing we can do.”
“good.”
As I was smiling, someone knocked on the door.
“Oh, I guess you’re here.”
“… … “What’s coming?” “bedding. “I asked you to bring one more suit.” Ellen had a blank expression on her face while I opened the door and received her blanket and pillow from her maid.
“… … “Why did you ask me to take care of that?”
“I’m going to put it on the floor.”
When I smiled awkwardly while hugging the bedding, he pointed at the bundle with an expression of disbelief.
“No way, are you really going to let him sleep here?”
“huh.”
“why not?”
“That’s because there is no place to sleep. “You can’t let him sleep in a barn or in a shed.”
“There are other rooms, too.”
“It’s full. I can’t ask people to sleep with me for the first time… …
“Then tell him to sleep at the inn.”
“Hey, how can I send a child who can’t even speak properly alone?”
“under.”
Ellen burst out laughing and turned her head.
“Eh,”
The bundle that had been squatting silently swallowed its breath. It’s because the fire-breathing gaze is directed at you.
Ellen, who stared at the bundle for a moment, shook her head with a stern expression.
“I do not want to. “The room isn’t that big, so how can the three of us sleep together?”
“uh… … . “If that’s the problem, should I get out?”
“••••♦•What?”
I shrugged my shoulders at his bewildered gaze.
“I already said that it’s uncomfortable for you to share a room with me. “I can sleep in Utequai’s room.”
“It’s inconvenient, but when did that start?
now-”
Ellen paused for a moment and cleared her throat.
“Hmm, it’s okay now. “Just send him somewhere else.”
“That’s not allowed.”
“why?”
“If a grown girl sleeps with a man who lives outside of her home, people will criticize her.”
“that… …
Ellen, who was trailing off her words, screamed loudly.
“Ah, so far it’s been okay.
“Why are you doing this now?”
Oh my, my ears.
“Hey, lower your voice. “It’s night.”
“Does it matter now? “Why are you doing this now?”
As he chased me, I took out the words I had prepared.
“Ellen, look carefully.”
“what.”
“There are three reasons why we shared a room?”
“… … “Three things?”
«Ugh» Hmm*
I counted my fingers one by one.
“The first was because I was worried about your safety, and the second was because it was difficult to find another room.”
“Then what about the third?”
“It was because of your legs. “Because I had to help.”
Looking at the guy with his pouty face and his mouth shut, I had a hard time suppressing laughter.
“Big, but… … . There are no particular risk factors here. I can sleep with Utequai, and you don’t need a bath since your legs are fine. “Now that I have a cute roommate, I think it’s right for me to sleep separately.”
“… … Cute, ‘roommate’?”
“A friend. A friend to share a room with.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Ellen’s head jerked back.
“Are you talking about a roommate or something?”
“… … uh. “That’s right.”
“He’s not cute, and he’s not my friend. “Are you crazy, sleeping with that unknown woman?”
“Um, really?”
I scratched my eyebrows for a moment and then held out my hand to the bundle.
“Then there’s nothing we can do. “Modchi, come here.”
Mungchi, who had been quietly observing, jumped up as if he had been waiting and held my hand.
Before we knew it, Ellen was glaring at us with her fists clenched.
“… … What are you doing?”
“Mungchi and I will sleep together in Utequai’s room.”
” what?”
“I don’t like sleeping together with three people, and I don’t like sleeping with Mungchi. Just sleep alone. comfortable.”
The guy who was messing around by himself pursed his lips with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“No, I…” … . “Just let him out.”
“I told you. “There’s no reason for the two of us to share a room anymore?”
” no••••••
Ellen hesitated for a moment, then remembered something and raised her head.
“Yes, there are only two beds in the Utekwai room. Steedman must be occupying that place, right?”
“Just tell them to sleep on the floor.”
“but… … . You want to share a room with Steedman? “He’s dirty.”
“Steedman? “I don’t know.”
“Just by looking at it, it looks dirty. It doesn’t seem like I can wash it well… …
“… … Aren’t these words too harsh? And he’s bald, so it’s not noticeable even if he doesn’t wash it.” “Ah, I see, the blue eyes that had become sullen sparkled again.
“that’s right. Ute Kwai is still sick. “I need to calm down, but if you two get involved, it’ll be complicated and I’ll be worried.”
“Since when did you care about Ute Kwai? The injury is almost completely healed. Also, he’s not that sensitive of a character?”
“That’s right… …
Ellen, who was once again speechless, blinked again and took something out of her arms.
“Yes, this!”
“… … what is that?”
“The solution to that strange voice you hear.”
What he gave me was a glass bottle containing a potion.
“if… … • That thing I told you to look forward to because I would teach you at night?”
“That’s right.”
“… … Do I even have to use medicine? “What are you trying to teach me?”
Ellen’s words blocked the freedom of my imagination.
” meditation.”
“••••••meditation?”
Ellen put her hand on her waist and showed a proud expression.
“Okay, I’ll teach you how to meditate. “If you look within yourself, you will find the reason why you hear voices.”
“••••••aha.”
Oh, that’s right then. I’m a fool for expecting anything else.
By the way, it’s meditation.
hmm. Do you think it’ll be okay?
“But what does meditation have to do with this potion?”
“It’s a concentration potion. “It’s a deteriorating plate, so it’s less effective, but it will at least get rid of distracting thoughts.” “… … Don’t you have to learn things like meditation on your own? “Can I rely on something like this?”
When I gave a suspicious look, Ellen shook her head resolutely.
“It’s not dependent. “You only get help when you start.”
“When to start?”
“huh. Meditation is not such an easy practice. If a beginner like you who doesn’t know anything tries to do it, it’s all in vain.
“It will be worth the time.”
“O huh” — rg •
“If you drink it and get my help, you will be able to get some idea of what meditation is. “From then on, it’s up to you.”
Ah, in short, it’s a trial version.
but. Even if you were walking the same route, it was natural that the journey would be much easier if you had previous experience. I guess this is the same thing.
I nodded my head quietly and suddenly spoke.
“But, this is also a reason to sleep with you.
“Can’t it?”
“……uh?” “You don’t have to share the same room to learn meditation.”
“Yes, but.”
The triumphant face quickly became cloudy, and white hands began to cling to each other.
As I looked at what Ellen was doing, I smiled slightly.
“Ellen.”
” Yes?”
“Should the three of us just use it?” He just pouted his lips in response to my subtle question.
“Why do you hate it so much? Are you still suspicious of the bundle?”
“… … “There’s a little bit of that, too.”
“okay? “It’s a bunch.”
Mungchi, who had been standing silently, sensed the meaning behind my name and quickly opened his mouth.
“I don’t do anything bad. “I swear.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, really, yo… …
Ellen’s expression softened a little at the consistent scruffiness of the bundle. I gently comforted him with a smile.
“I’m asking you this, so let’s stay together until Mungchi gets used to it. huh?”
Ellen eventually nodded to my repeated requests.
Even if he pretends to be picky, he’s actually easy to deal with… … .
O 己 己rut ■ •• —■ ■— O •
Wow, Wow!
The loud howling of dogs penetrated into the tent. Randall, the leader of ‘Randall’s Warriors’, could not bear it and shouted.
“Oh my god, there’s no one outside! “Make the dogs stop barking!”
The mercenaries around the tent were busy moving around, but the dogs could hardly calm down. This is because the darkness in the forest keeps getting on the dogs’ nerves.
“Damn it. Even the bastards don’t do what I want.”
Three men were sitting casually around Randall, who was sitting on a box of arrows. They were the leaders of each mercenary gang.
Among them, a man nicknamed ‘Pretty Boy’ because of his pretty face sneered.
“flaw. “Even bastards have instincts.”
“… … “What does that mean, Regan?”
“It means that even a foolish animal recognizes a coward who only pursues his own greed.”
“Are you saying that to me?” At Randall’s growl, Regan spat her spit on the floor and smiled heartily.
“Then who did you say it to? “Is there anyone else other than you who was so scared by a single article that he grabbed his lower body and spewed out?”
“Do you really think I’m going to jump out of fear of a knight, you idiot?”
“then?”
Randall sneered at Riggan’s rebuttal.
“Huh, you stupid bastard. That knight is Prince Silver’s subordinate. “If I had killed him, he would have been chased by Prince Silver’s army.”
“What can Prince Silver say?”
“That’s it, Prince Silver?”
Randall spread his hands out as if he was dumbfounded.
“under! Norman, like, did you hear? “He’s the silver prince!”
The man named Norman sighed deeply and shook his head.
“You’re not saying you don’t know the Silver Prince, right? Regan, you are from Mittergerand.”
“What am I from? “Did you think everyone in the empire would be shocked just because you defeated a few idiots from the plateau?”
“I heard that the number of people who are left behind is too large to say just a few idiots. “I heard about 15 forts and castles were destroyed?”
Just as Riggan was wheezing and closing his mouth, dog noises were heard again from outside the tent.
“What the fuck! “If you bastards bark one more time, I’ll rip them all off!”
While Randall was yelling loudly outside the tent, a mercenary came running into the tent in a huff.
” Leader!”
“what?”
“Well, a guest has arrived.”
“customer? who?”
The young mercenary answered Randall’s question with a slightly flushed face.
“It’s ‘black wolves.’”
“… … Black wolves? ‘The’ black wolves’?”
“Yes, those bounty hunters. “I heard you have something to discuss with the commander. Shall I bring you here?”
Randall thought for a moment and then looked back at the other bosses. For a moment, the leaders shared their opinions with a glance, then Randall nodded.
“Bring it.”
“yep!”
The young mercenary quickly ran out of the tent, hiding his excitement.
Then, the sound of fumbling footsteps was heard, and two men wearing black cloaks entered the tent.
A man wearing a leather eyepatch over one eye slowly looked around the tent.
“… … “Who is Randall?”
“grow.”
Randall, who was quietly examining the other person, smiled brightly.
“I didn’t know the captain came in person.”
“… … Do you know me?”
“of course. Aren’t you ‘One-Eyed Dirk’?”
The man called Dirk was holding his head against a wooden box lying in the tent with a sigh.
“that’s right. “But not the captain.”
“… … “You’re not the captain?” “It’s been a few years since I came down. by the way.”
The sharp single eye stared at the leaders one after another.
“Everyone looks good. “They don’t look like fucked up guys.”
“… … “What are you talking about?”
“There’s no need to fool around. “Because I knew everything.”
Randall, who was quietly glaring at Dirk, chewed up the question and spat it out.
“Humans and hunters are all bastards. What brings you here?”
“You already gave the correct answer.” Dirk, smiling with his teeth showing, took something out of his pocket.
“I came to catch people.”
What he took out was a parchment scroll.
