My Villains Episode 087

23. Mother’s Warrior (1)

“On the night of the 4th, 22-year-old Sergeant Mun committed suicide by throwing himself from an apartment in ——-. “He made an extreme choice on the day of his discharge, and malicious rumors about Sergeant Munmyo began to spread around various social media platforms.”

“… “That’s about Moon Jeong-hyuk, right?”

“I think that’s right.”

“It’s going to be a complete mess now, right? “Fuck you, I stepped on shit in my last year.”

The pair of male and female eyes are shining white. Her shoulders slump involuntarily.

Your outlook on life is turned upside down.

Blink blink _

“The light went out. “When you leave later, tell the officer on duty to change this for you.”

“all right.”

“Okay, did you understand everything the company commander explained?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“It’s great that our Seungsu is good at repeating names. Questions?”

“… doesn’t exist.”

The company commander’s office is turned upside down.

“So, you’re a victim of sexual harassment?”

“… … Yes, that’s right.”

“The investigator confirmed, what is it, a bamboo forest? “I heard you were the first to post there.”

“•••that is.”

“no?”

“No!”

bang!

The table was smashed.

The snake-like sergeant is nowhere to be found, and the big sergeant, no-

“Faalata!” A large Indian grabbed me by the collar. Hatred fills his pitch black eyes.

“Faalata, Darrve!”

No, no!

I screamed with tears streaming down my face. A loud roar lingered in my mouth.

Last dawn. Those who had been involved were wiped out, and the witch who had been the instigator had her head cut off by my hands.

Regardless of whether she was a monster or something, the witch was a countess. Moreover, since the Lord of Seong was furious and demanded that I be killed, I was worried that something might go wrong.

It was unfortunate.

Prince Ulkar went one step further and tore the witch’s body into pieces. Then, the traces of humans were hung on the castle gate, and the traces of fishmen were hung on the lighthouse.

•••Crazy guy. I wonder who the future king of murder will be.

Whatever my impression, the morale of the city soared to sky-high levels.

Not only was morale high, but compared to the original scenario, our army clearly had the advantage.

Of course, it was thanks to Prince Ulkar.

The prince saved the city from the crisis caused by the earthquake and attacked the magic bandits whenever he had the chance, proving that his reputation was not in vain.

Up to a thousand soldiers were under his command, and this time he completely took control of the nobles by throwing Seongju into prison.

This merciless prince is, in fact,

He became the master of poetry.

“Keueu-”

The summer sun rising in the sky tickles the tip of my nose. After tossing and turning for a while while lying down, I eventually got up.

Oh, it hurts.

There is no place that doesn’t ache because it was bumped and broken here and there in the early morning fight.

What’s really surprising is that even though my body fought like a rag, it didn’t hurt that much yesterday. Is this the power of adrenaline?

If I had known it would hurt this much, I would have gone to church as soon as the battle was over and received treatment. Well, there were so many injured people that I doubt whether they would have been able to meet the priest.

“Ugh.”

If an ordinary person had been injured to this extent, they would have had to heal for months, right? No, he must have died before that.

Fortunately, Poinix’s body was far from normal. Because it has a health score of 21 and a passive skill.

It was also helpful that Sister Olga gave me a brief treatment.

I’ll probably be able to recover my condition after two days of rest.

“Okay.”

Two days later. Anyway, I can’t help feeling sick right now. If I had known this would happen, I would have invested the level-up bonus into my health.

I have reached level 16. Bonus points were used to increase strength, and skill bonuses were invested in ‘thirst’.

In fact, it was only natural that the level rose, considering the struggle that took place last morning.

First of all, just doing the ‘Unveiled Location’ gives you 2,000 experience points. In addition, the ‘Ironborn’ gives 700 experience points, the guards give 120 experience points each, and the thug action members give 40 experience points… … .

Just counting what he gained from murder, he gained close to 6,000 experience points.

If you include the experience from completing quests, it will be around 9,000. Should I say that the hard work was worth it?

•••for a moment. Come to think of it, the first ‘cap jump’ point was level 16?

In Dark World, the experience requirement increases significantly for each level section. This phenomenon was called ‘cap jump’, and the first point is level 16.

In short, a whopping 10,000 experience points are needed to level up from level 16, and even after that, the experience point requirement increases significantly.

This is a big problem. It’s time to slowly fall behind in level, but you can’t farm, so squeak.

Hinge’s shy scream distracted me from my thoughts. I opened the door and entered the room.

“… Daria?”

” Shh.”

Daria glanced at Ellen, who was sleeping soundly, and then slowly walked away. Then he started laying out the things he had brought next to the bed.

A water jar, towel, pottery filled with ointment, clean bandages, clothes, etc… … .

“What is all this?”

As I raised my upper body, Daria pulled up the hem of my tunic and whispered.

“Take it off quickly. “Let me see where you’re hurt.”

“Hmm, it’s okay. “It’s not like this,”

” hurry!”

As I pretended not to win and took off my clothes, Daria began tending my wounds with skillful hands.

“You’re already feeling a lot better, aren’t you? “It’s a truly amazing body.”

w O ugh”

—M3

I have now become quite skilled at washing my body with lukewarm water, applying ointment, and applying bandages.

I also recognized Daria when she sewed, but Daria has really strong hands. She is meticulous, sincere, gentle, and warm.

When I apply ointment, when I give a massage, or when I do something else. It had a charm that made me close my eyes.

Sometimes, when I lift my heavy eyelids, I come face to face with green eyes filled with warmth. At times like that, my heart felt so warm that I would act like an idiot without realizing it.

however… What did Daria look like in the game? Suddenly I get curious.

The questions continued one after another.

What is this world? Has the world in the game become reality? Or, is the real world captured in the game?

At that time, a stabbing pain came from my shin. A sense of bringing the daydreaming mind into reality.

“Ugh, go ahead.”

“Oh, sorry. “Did it hurt a lot?”

“No, no. are you okay.”

Opening her eyes wide, Daria let out a small sigh of relief and unwrapped the bandages on her shins.

“Uhm… . Can I take the splint off now? “Here, I’ll just apply the medicine and change the bandages.”

“Yes, do whatever is comfortable for you.”

A more cautious hand smoothed out the firm calf. I closed my eyes again, but each movement of my fingers was pictured in my mind through my sensitive sense of touch.

Doubts fade away and worries rise.

If I don’t clear the campaign… this kind lady will be reduced to dust.

The cute wizard, the responsible mercenary, and the talkative archer will all die.

can i do it?

“Okay, that’s it.”

Daria took care of my wounds and even changed my clothes. She then left her room, saying she was bringing a light meal.

Worries that had been scattered for a while take shape again.

If this world resembles a game, the enemies you will encounter will rapidly become stronger. What should we do to deal with those enemies?

In my opinion, there was only one correct answer.

Increasing the number of pages. The goal was not just to increase the number of people, but to make people with the potential to become stronger colleagues.

“Ego-”

Daria brought a bowl of rye bread and stew with torn fish shells. Then, despite my refusal, they forcibly spoon-fed me and forced me to open my mouth.

“Hey, that’s enough. “I’m not a kid-”

“Be quiet and eat.”

•••He’s quite determined today.

I quietly ate my stew and glanced at Ellen.

The guy was asleep without knowing anything about the world. Well, I haven’t been able to rest properly, and I’ve been using up all my mana since dawn, so I’m sure I’m tired.

After finishing the meal, I lay down and Daria covered me with a blanket and opened her mouth.

“Are you still uncomfortable?”

“huh? “I feel so refreshed and good now.”

“•••okay? “You didn’t look good earlier.”

“ah. uh… .”

Wow, I guess I couldn’t control my facial expression because I was thinking about random things. Daria must have been worried because she was dying, even though she was being nursed with great care.

“just. “I have something to worry about.”

“What are you worried about?”

“Well, this and that. The city is like that, Ha Tanka is like that… .”

Daria nodded slightly at the appropriately chosen words.

“trunnion.”

“huh?”

“When all the thieves leave… … Are you going to leave?”

Words full of hesitation and slightly shaking eyes. I looked into sea green eyes and closed my mouth for a moment.

I’m having such a hard time even in South Harbor, will I be able to handle the journey ahead?

I looked at Ellen without realizing it.

I always felt this, but Ellen, who was asleep without knowing the world, was as beautiful as an angel. Today, for some reason, she even bit her smile, making her even more so.

Even if I stay, Ellen will leave. Because that’s the fate given to him.

Can Ellen get through the ‘dark cabin’ alone? Will she be able to reach the ‘Raven’s Cliff’, avenge her teacher and clear his name?

And can I send that guy away alone?

“I guess I should leave.”

“Yeah, right… …

Daria lowered her head and fiddled with the empty bowl.

“if… … “Where are you going?”

“Well, I’m going north.”

I searched my memory for a moment and came up with a name.

“I’m planning to climb Mount Gradil.”

“Gradil? Isn’t it ‘Mount Graduil’?”

“Oh, right. Graduil Mountain.”

At my affirmation, Daria’s expression brightened a little.

“So, you’re going to pass by ‘Longville’?”

“Longville? “Where is it?”

“It’s a territory at the foot of Mt. Graduil. “It’s a cozy and peaceful place, like being hugged by a mountain.”

It’s Longville… … . Wait, Longville?

“Wasn’t that a den of thieves?”

Daria frowned at my question as if she had heard a strange sound.

“A den of thieves? “It is a peaceful place ruled by the kind-hearted spirit of the Lord.”

“… … okay? “I guess I heard wrong.” In Chapter 3, ‘Longville’ was a den of thieves with a nasty quest. Well, I don’t know the detailed story, so I don’t know what happened.

“But, do you think you know the area well? Have you ever been to Longville?”

“of course. “Longville is my hometown.”

“Ah really?”

“huh. I lived there until I came here when I was twelve. “It was a really nice neighborhood.”

Daria seemed lost in reminiscence for a moment and then sighed.

“I used to exchange letters with my uncle in Longville once a month, but we stopped hearing from him because of the thieves. “You must be very worried.”

“Don’t be so depressed. “It will be over soon.”

“… … Yes, I guess so.”

Daria nodded quietly and then clapped her hands silently.

“Oh, when are you going to pick up Mr. Hatanka?”

“Lord Ariad said he would send a messenger, so let’s wait.” Thanks to my request to Prince Ulkar, Utequai was able to save his life.

However, he was not immediately free. This is because Sir Ariad came forward, saying he would interrogate Utequai, a foreigner.

The prince told me not to torture him, so it won’t be a big problem… … .

Hey, I don’t know. It’ll be okay.

“I will let you know as soon as the messenger arrives. “For now, sleep soundly.”

“I guess so.”

I close my eyes again at Daria’s urging,

Sreuk.

“… … W-what are you doing?”

“I’ll help you fall asleep.”

“uh? omg,”

Daria burrowed under the blanket, holding her abundant red hair together.

I looked at Ellen in confusion, but

“••swimming”

Is he having a good dream?

He is grinning with his mouth half open. Are you thinking about the moment you flew through the sky and sprayed fireballs?

I was able to sleep peacefully, forgetting about the throbbing pain and all my worries and worries about the future.

It was late afternoon when Sir Ariad’s messenger came. He was given permission to take Ute Kwai with him.

After getting properly prepared, Ellen and I left the inn.

“Hey, stop it. “I’m crazy.”

Despite the bruises, Ellen, who was sitting on my forearm, continued to wiggle her toes. She puts her arm on the top of my head and focuses her eyes on her toes as if she can’t hear anything.

“••••••Ugh.”

I tried to say more and eventually sighed.

Before leaving the inn, I gave Ellen a pill. Just as her senses came back a little when she took it for the first time, fortunately this time it was also quite effective.

deeply

“Huh!”

When I poked her slender calf with my finger, Ellen was startled and straightened her back.

“What are you doing, you’re surprised!”

“That’s because you don’t answer.”

“Can’t you see I’m focusing on my toes?”

“Why are you doing that on the street?”

“What does it matter if it’s on the street? “He said to move constantly, like a habit.”

Perhaps thanks to the covenant, Ellen regained a little more feeling in her lower body and was able to wiggle her big toe.

There was still a long way to go… I think I’ll feel much better if I drink the remaining four bottles.

“I did it out of habit and unconsciously. What are you going to do if you just stare at your toes like that?”

“Concentration is one of the most basic skills of a wizard. “It is better to focus on one thing rather than doing several things sloppily.”

“Why are you so obsessed with twiddling your toes that it’s such a big deal? “What? Isn’t multitasking a basic skill of a wizard?”

“•••Multicasting? Are you talking about multiple chants?”

“It’s not the casting, it’s the task – no, anyway. “The city atmosphere is still scary, so don’t get too carried away.”

After arguing with Ellen, we entered the market street. Since we were on the way to the square, we looked at the stalls to see if there was anything worth buying.

Even though the city had been under siege for nearly two months, there were still quite a few merchants left. There are some really toxic people out there.

Of course, the presence of merchants did not mean that the market was running normally.

For example, the prices of military equipment and foodstuffs had skyrocketed. I’ve said it all, you can’t even buy a piece of bread with a single silver coin.

For other things, the situation was largely similar.

“So, how much?”

When Ellen asked incredulously, the middle-aged merchant answered with a sullen expression.

“Mint is worth one silver coin per ounce, lily of the valley is two coins per ounce, and there are no agaric mushrooms and axes left.”

“… … under.”

Most of the alchemy ingredients Ellen tried to buy were herbs, so they were ridiculously expensive.

In the end, we had no choice but to pass through the market empty-handed. Although I was able to buy three sets of second-hand clothes with just one silver coin, it wasn’t much of a consolation.

“Ugh, even if I make money, it’s hard to spend it.”

When I tied up my bundle of clothes and opened my money pouch, I found that there were 3 gold coins and 3 silver coins left in my public treasury, and my emergency fund (my money) was 3 gold coins and 3 pennies left.

They say this is quite a lot of money, but I don’t really feel it.

I want to quickly clear the chapter and say goodbye to this crazy market price. really.

After entering the square, I passed the group of tents where the military was stationed and headed to the gallows.

At that time, Ellen, who was sitting on my shoulder, activated her feather decoration.

“Why are you wasting mana? “Just sit there.”

“Princes and knights will look at you funny. “I have to practice anyway, so don’t worry about it.”

As he said, he is a guy who can at best maintain balance without the help of spirits.

So Ellen was floating in the air, holding on to the hem of my cloak. Perhaps because it was a magic-resistant cloak, the magic power of the feather decoration did not flow to me.

“Are you still dissatisfied?”

“what.”

“To attract Hatanka.”

Ellen, who was balancing in the air while wriggling both arms, narrowed her eyes and answered.

“I have complaints. “Who would want to have such a barbarian as their companion?”

“O ugh” – jungs

“But what you said isn’t wrong… . “I can’t help it.”

Hmm, I guess my persuasion worked. but _

To describe Ellen’s current state… Isn’t it something like a ‘stationary glass cannon’?

This is a cold but appropriate assessment, as the already incompetent guy was crippled from the waist down.

Of course, you can fly using feather decorations. However, in order to fly properly, you need assistance from spirits, so the consumption of mana is extremely high. Just yesterday, didn’t I run out of mana after a short flight and two fireballs?

Unless you get used to using feather decorations or your magic power increases, it is difficult to expect stable mobility from Ellen.

An elemental magician whose body is made of paper can’t even run? That means survival is 0.

In a situation like this, Ute Kwai was even more necessary. A berserker with a tank tattoo is perfect as a meat shield.

Ellen also seemed to agree to some extent thanks to the logic.

Ellen, who had been choosing her words for a moment, opened her mouth.

“Instead, even if we end up going together… … I smiled slightly and gave him the answer he wanted.

“If you feel something strange, tell me right away.”

“What if I tell you?”

“I have to throw it away. The reason I brought Hatanka in in the first place was to protect you. “What does it mean if you’re anxious?”

“•••Well, something like that.”

Saying that, Ellen turned her head.

The sun setting in the west beautifully colored my white face.
