My Villains Episode 099

25. Rainy season (4)

After returning to the inn and sitting across from Ellen, I first gave him the holy medicine.

“Is this really okay for me to drink? “Don’t you think you have a weakness for the prince for no reason?”

“If this alone was going to be a weakness, I should be a servant to the prince right now. “Don’t talk too much and drink it quickly.”

“Okay.”

Ellen frowned but took a sip of the pill.

“how is it? “Do you think it’s coming?”

“O ugh”—T5”.

Ellen moaned softly and wiggled her toes. She then spun her ankle and wiggled her knee.

“Oh oh! Hey, are you moving well?”

“… … “My knees aren’t moving very well yet.”

“What about your waist and hips?”

At my question, Ellen closed her eyes tightly and sweated profusely. Then her thighs and her pelvis twitched and she started to move a little!

“It’s strange. Isn’t it normal for recovery to start from the area closest to the waist? “Why are you moving your feet first?”

“Hmm, I don’t know.”

“How do you feel?”

As I tensed my calves and knees, Ellen shrugged her shoulders and clenched her fists.

“Ugh, go, tickle.”

“Huh? “What did you do to tickle me?”

“I don’t know, how do I know? “I said it tickles when it tickles.”

After briefly checking, it seemed like my senses had returned to close to 100%. Below the knees, it had almost recovered, and I was able to stand up straight if I held my arms.

However, I think the tickling is a bit excessive… … I’m a little worried that this may be due to some kind of side effect.

“Hmm, let’s drink the remaining three bottles slowly. “I recovered this much after seven illnesses, so I will be completely cured after ten illnesses.”

Ellen nodded quietly at my expectant words. Seeing that she didn’t look very happy, I guess she wasn’t yet sure that she would be completely cured.

After putting Ellen back to her seat, I also sat across from her.

And after hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth.

“By the way, Ellen.”

” huh’?”

“Can you tell me this?” Saying that, she handed Ellen a small piece of sheep vellum. It was a note written about the pursuers at La-Palais Palace.

“… … Why is this, what is this?”

“The prince gave it to me.”

Ellen’s face hardened. She then took a deep breath for a moment and with difficulty opened her mouth.

“What did you hear?”

“huh. Well, who are you and what is your situation? “I heard something like that.” Blue eyes shook violently.

“… … so?”

“… … huh? What do you mean ‘so’?”

“So, what are you going to do? “You’re disappointed in me.”

“Disappointment? Why the sudden disappointment? What are you talking about?”

When I opened my eyes and asked again, he answered in a hushed voice.

“I lied to you.”

” what?”

“You didn’t even say that you ran away, or that you were being chased.”

“Wait, wait a minute. “Ellen.”

Suddenly, wet eyes looked up at me. I was embarrassed and continued speaking while clapping my hands.

“I think I’m misunderstanding something. “I’m not questioning you or reprimanding you or anything like that.”

“……uh?”

“I don’t think you lied, and I’m not angry or disappointed. I just asked because I wanted to hear from you about this story. “You don’t have to say anything if you’re uncomfortable.” Ellen pursed her lips in response to my dissuasion. When the water filled with sinab was splashing on my big eyes, I said, “Ugh. Hey, give me your hand.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Give me your hand.”

When Ellen showed signs of hesitation, I quickly grabbed his hand.

Folded hands. It’s a pretty familiar feeling now.

“Ellen, I told you so.”

“••••••What, what.” “I’m on your side no matter what.

Let’s not be shaken. I do not remember?”

“I remember. Yes, I remember.”

“So, um, there’s no need to feel sorry for having this much. “I really don’t care.”

After looking into the pearl-fluttering eyes, I mustered up the courage to wipe them with my fingertips.

“Ugh. Why do you cry so often? “It hurts my heart.”

Ellen closed her eyes tightly. Even though I tried to wipe it away, more tears than I could handle flowed down.

“Uh, hey. don’t cry.”

“I’m sorry, *sigh* I’m sorry.”

“You say there’s no need to be sorry?”

“I should have told you *sigh* because I don’t know how you would feel if I did.”

“Yes, I understand, I understand.”

“My Name. It’s not Ellen, it’s Elena. *Ugh* Erenaar, Radhakaline. “It’s a lie to say you received a mission from Master.”

“uh. “I see, that’s right.”

… … I knew it. My conscience is pricked for no reason.

“Yes, Ellen. “Don’t cry.”

“Master, Master.”

The boy sobbed non-stop, his face scrunched up. He covered his eyes with his sleeve, but he could not hide the tears streaming down his pale cheeks and jawline.

“On my birthday, I was eating sautéed food *sigh* when an order thief suddenly appeared. *Sigh* I can’t do anything, so Master, Galnar, that bastard,”

“Hey, stop crying.”

Seeing her cry with her shoulders shaking makes me feel frustrated and heavy in my heart.

“I didn’t do anything, *sniff* I, Master, the palace’s idiots, were framed, *sniff*”

Without realizing it, I stretched out my hand and hugged the guy who was speaking gibberish. Ellen buried her face in her chest and sobbed louder.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. “Speak slowly.”

I patted my head carefully, wondering if it would break or break. The scent of lime wafted through her flawless blonde hair.

“Poi, *sigh, huh* poi.” Ellen rambled on for a long time. I listened to his story while matching the scenario and puzzle from my memory.

By the time the story came to a close, Ellen finally fell asleep from exhaustion. With both her arms wrapped around my waist.

“… … Ugh. “Maybe this crybaby is good.”

I placed Ellen on my lap and gently brushed her hair.

“… … Due to such circumstances, I decided to leave.”

The people sitting around the table looked at each other in bewilderment at my explanation, which omitted many things.

Except Ute Kwai.

“South Harbor, it’s a good city. But it is not a place where warriors live. “I’m going where my mother leads me.”

He said that and took a sip of beer. It means you understand.

Meanwhile, Grania, sitting next to him, was making a strange expression.

“So, when are you leaving?”

“hmm. “I think if I wake up early tomorrow and prepare for the trip, I won’t leave before lunch.”

“… … “How urgent is it that you’re leaving so suddenly?”

“Well, that’s how it happened.”

Arnal laughed at my carefree answer.

“Wait a minute, Phoenix. “You were ordained by Prince Ulkar, right?”

“Yes, that’s how it happened.”

“What is ‘that’s what happened’… … . Are you saying you will leave the city as soon as you are ordained by the prince? alone?”

“Ellen and Utequai are going together?”

“No, anyway. “Is it okay for you to leave like this since you also received the land?”

“… … “How did you know you got the land?”

Arnal opens his mouth at my question.

“Wow, crazy. “I guess the rumor was true.”

“Are you fishing just now?”

As I frowned, Arnal waved his hand and changed the subject.

“That’s enough. You received a sum of money from the prince, an appointment, and land, but you just threw it away. “The prince said he would obediently let me go?”

“huh. “They told me to come later if I feel like serving in the military.”

“What the hell? “By any chance, did you receive a separate request from the prince?”

Arnal, who was saying that, looked around and lowered his voice.

“Do you really want to take the first prince’s head?”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? “It’s not like that.”

Grania, who was eating cheese, nodded.

“Well, I can roughly understand Prince Ulkar’s intentions. “Where are you going?”

Yeah, that’s the problem. Where are you going?

“First of all, I plan to climb Mt. Graduil.”

“… … Are you going to leave the South?”

“Yeah, well. “That’s how it happened.”

While the setting of Chapter 2 is South Harbor, Chapter 3 takes place in ‘Cabin’ and Chapter 4 takes place in ‘Ray Even’s Cliff’.

Well, the scenario won’t go as is. Because through my past experience, I fully realized the gap between games and reality.

Still, the fact remains that Ellen’s name must be cleared.

Therefore, our immediate task is to catch the spell thief Saitz. To do so, you must go to ‘Raven’s Cliff’ in the central part of Milanol Kingdom.

Daria, who was sitting quietly on one side, had her eyes sparkling.

“So, I guess we’ll go past Longville?”

“Longville? well… …

No matter how much I think about it, Longville is the name of the area targeted in Chapter 3. It’s swarming with thieves, and their leader… … .

“… … Robber Baron.”

“huh? “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“no. “No, nothing.”

Crazy, why did I only remember this now?

The people who took over Longville in the game were none other than the robber baron and his men!

But he died in my hands. So what happens to Longville?

“Okay then, Poi.”

“Uh, huh?”

“If you’re going to leave, isn’t it safer to go as a group rather than the three of you?”

“I guess so? why’?”

When I nodded, Daria blushed.

“Then, how about going with the other merchants?” “Merchants?”

“huh. “There are merchants who brought grain from near the royal capital, and they say they are returning after finishing their business.”

“however?”

“They say they’re looking for mercenaries. “I said I was a little anxious on the way back.”

“Upper guard… … . But, near the royal road? “I don’t plan on going there yet.”

Grania, who had her arms crossed in response to my negative words, shook her head.

“There’s no need to go there, right?”

“The reason the merchant heading north is looking for additional mercenaries is probably because of the remnants of the Magic Bandits.”

” ah.”

In the last battle, the robber baron, the leader of the magic bandits, lost his life to me. The magic bandits, who had lost their focus, split into groups of at least ten or as many as fifty to sixty and scattered in all directions.

“It looks like those bastards are still running wild and losing their senses?”

“Guys like Ulrek and Greer were vicious thieves from the beginning. “There’s no way we can go back to farming just because the head cow is dead.”

‘Half-orc Ulmec’, ‘Beast Greer’. These guys appear with random names in the boss phase of Chapter 2. Since ‘Scale D’Ogre Harklio’ appeared, I thought no other random names would appear, but I was wrong.

Seeing those two guys running wild, the six Nameds, no, Harklio is dead, so it would be convenient to think that all five Nameds are alive.

“After all, it’s the plains around here that they’re wandering around.”

“Oh, then?”

“The Savern and Lidburn regions are a bit dangerous, so mercenaries will be needed, but by the time you pass Marva, there will be no way to go up.”

Saven is the name of the region where South Harbor belongs, and Leadburn is the town next to it. But, where is ‘Marva’?

Daria spoke to me as I was lost in thought.

“It just so happens that the merchants are also passing through Longville.”

“… … ah. Longville was the Marva region.

go?”

“huh. Because the south of Mount Graduil is the Marva region. How about signing a contract on the condition that you only go as far as Longville? “You can make money, and they will give you food.”

Umm.

It’s definitely safer if you have more people with you.

Also, neither I nor Ellen nor Utequoi know anything about the surrounding geography. It would be much more convenient to accompany the merchants rather than trying to find a crude map.

But the problem is, our destination is

They say you can’t go out. The three of us have become such celebrities that if we were to join the commercial world without any thought, rumors would spread quickly…

Oh, my head hurts.

“first… … . “Can I meet those merchants?”

“I heard you’re at the Drunken Pony, just wait a minute!”

“Oh, Daria!”

Daria left the inn without me having time to stop her.

Arnal smiled heartily as he looked at the back.

“That bitch, that was very sweet. “It’s cute.”

“… … “What kind of old man are you talking about?”

At that time, Lindsey, who had brought out the grilled pork ribs and onions, said she was worried.

“Daria, did you go out to the Drunken Pony? I wish I didn’t go through the alley… …

“Kid, what are you so worried about? “If it’s a drunk pony, it’s just around the corner from here.”

Lindsey answered Arnal’s question with a frightened expression.

“Okay. “I heard that a dead person was found today as well.”

“also? “The ‘artist’?”

“yes. “It’s even near the square this time.”

“Wow, that guy is really crazy. A square is where the prince is, right? Unless the liver comes out of the stomach… …

When Arnal stuck out his tongue, Grania, who was cutting the cheese, frowned in displeasure.

“Why on earth do people in this city give such a nickname as ‘artist’ to a crazy person who tears people’s bodies to pieces?”

“My nickname is very cool. Red bear, wise and powerful.”

“… … “I’m glad you like it, Mr. Hatanka.”

Lindsay blinked her big eyes and lowered her voice.

“But, there’s a reason I nicknamed him an artist.”

“What?”

“It’s because all the dead people have strangely little blood.”

“however? Why’?”

“The criminal took the blood to paint. “I want to use it as paint!”

“Haha, really? “Is it really scary?”

When Lindsey made a scary expression as if trying to scare her, Arnal laughed and ruffled the girl’s hair.

Contrary to Lindsay’s worries, Daria quickly returned to the inn. She was with three merchants.

Since I, Ellen, and Utequoi were the most famous trio in the city, the merchants seemed to welcome us very much.

The pay is good and it’s nice to be able to ride in a carriage.

After thinking about it for a while, I spoke alone with a middle-aged man named ‘Perso’, the representative of the merchants.

When I finished my private meeting and came down to the first floor, Daria quickly came up to me and asked.

“Poi, what happened?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

As I quietly scratched my chin, Mr. Perso said with a sad expression.

“Unfortunately, the contract could not be concluded.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Instead, I decided to introduce other merchants to Lord Phoenix.”

“Another merchant?”

When Daria turned around with wide eyes, I shrugged my shoulders and answered.

“When I thought about it, I thought it would be more convenient to just take a boat. “I plan to turn west and go to the central region.”

“… … Don’t you have to cross the plateau to get there? “It will take about the same amount of time anyway.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

As I trailed off, Mr. Perso intervened.

“From what I heard, they’ve eliminated monsters five times in the past few months. “Once you pass the sea, the journey will be fairly smooth.”

Daria let out a small sigh at that explanation.

“… … I see “The sea is scary.” “huh? what?”

“No, no. What more do you want? potato? duck?”

“Um, no sea bass?”

“Anyway, I heard you really like fish. hang on. “I’ll fry it up right away.”

Daria smiled brightly and headed to the kitchen.

“… … “Why are you so excited?”

After watching her for a moment, I emptied my glass of beer and waited for the merchants that Mr. Perso would introduce.
