Sleepyhead Sees You From 100 Days Ago 114

Chapter 114 – Chapter 4: Outcast – 3

December 25th has arrived.

That day was the day of Brisden’s christening and the day of my funeral.

The villagers gave up on my life-sustaining treatment.

All pharmaceutical equipment was lost due to a fire, and even Tia, who could recreate the medicine, was exiled.

Now the only way left is to ‘let go of Ritz’.

It was decided that Marvin, who had the most influence, would retain the position of village chief.

People put my frozen body in a coffin.

On this day when people should be most happy, there was no sound of laughter.

All the children who received the baptism of the divine dragon, danced awkwardly, and drank bitter liquor have all disappeared.

Marvin turned his back on everyone’s sobbing and went down to my resting place.

After digging a piece of land exactly as tall as I was, I moved the coffin and placed it in the hole.

Close the pipe lid and cover it with soil.

Pak!

Marvin took out her dagger and carved my name into her water of rest.

[Ritz]

Such a ridiculous death was sentenced.

Under… She’s still alive, but they judge her dead.

No, the ignorant and pitiful villagers have no choice but to not know.

Because they don’t even know that Posao was watching this whole situation.

“Huuuk-huuuk-.”

In a forest far away.

Posao looked down at Brisden and smiled.

“Hihihi.”

The guy who was watching my funeral took a long walk through the forest again and headed toward the general store.

On the first floor of the general store, Tia was sleeping deeply, covered in a blanket.

As soon as Posao came in, he woke Tia up.

“T, Tia!”

“… Uncle?”

“I was passing through the forest and, wow, I happened to see it… “Ritz is dead.”

“Yes?”

The sleep fled from Tia’s face.

Posao explained what he had just seen.

“Hold the funeral, hold the funeral… “I buried it under the tree.”

“Is that possible…?” . The doctor said Ritsu wasn’t dead…”

“Oh, what should I do?”

Sarak-!

Tia rolled up the blanket and stood up.

Then, she put on only the coat that was hanging next to her and ran straight out of the general store.

“Naaah-! Tia!”

The place he was heading to was the lower village, Taildon.

In case anyone saw her, she hid her face with a cloak and went to the house where the doctor lived.

Thump!

After an urgent knock on the door, the doctor appeared.

“Who are you?”

“It’s me. Tia.”

“Tia?”

Before long, the doctor seemed to realize the reason and cleared his throat.

Tia said in an earnest voice.

“Doctor… The villagers are asking about Ritz… Hurry… Please go to our village and stop the people… !”

“Well, really… “I’m sorry.”

The doctor scratched her head.

“They told me last night too. Since I have banished you, please send someone I trust. But where would I have the power to do that? I told him to give me more money or take care of it myself… In the end, it seems she decided to give up the child.”

“Yes? No…”

Whisk.

Tia knelt down in front of her door.

Whiiing-!

Her fierce, blowing snow piled up on Tia’s shoulders.
So her crying eyes looked even more pitiful.

“Oh, how could it not be? If it’s money… I’ll give it to you! “Can’t we send someone to take Ritz out and take care of it?”

“However… Do you have any money? They said she was exiled.”

Tia was speechless.

She couldn’t do anything.

Even though I knew that I was still alive and buried in the ground, I couldn’t go back to the village and get me out.

Because Tia was an ‘outcast.’

The rumor seemed to have spread straight to Taildon.

Since the doctor knew what had happened just yesterday, she couldn’t have said that she would raise money, even if it was a lie.

All that’s left is just empty.

I prayed and prayed again.

The only way was to beg for any remaining sympathy from this doctor.

Tia fell flat on her floor.
So much so that I could hear my forehead hitting her threshold.

Her poor body trembled.

“Please… Please… Please save her Ritz…”

“…”

He placed his hands on his waist and sighed.

“I’m sorry, Tia. The more I become involved with your village, the more my headaches become. You’ve seen each other often since you were young, and that boy is your best friend, so you feel close… “I can’t help it.”

“Teacher…”

The doctor, unable to avoid her earnest gaze, crossed her arms.

“In that case, do whatever you can to get that child out of the coffin. And…”

The doctor went into the house and brought something.

It was a piece of parchment.

“This is the private home of the royal doctor who helped you last time. If you write a letter here, you might be able to find out how. However, the situation in Deseo is not good these days, so I am not sure whether the letter will be delivered properly.”

Tia realized that this was the best the doctor could give.

She received the parchment with trembling hands.

“Thank you…”

Tia went back to the general store.

She sat down weakly and suddenly realized that the area between her legs was sticky.

“…”

When she ran her hand over her inner thigh, her bright red blood came out.

It was that time.

“Did you come back?”

Posao was holding a blanket.

It was the blanket Tia slept on tonight.

And there… There was a bright red liquid on it that anyone would have thought was ‘blood’.

As Tia was staring at the blanket, Posao smiled awkwardly and said.

“Ah… This? Hehe… There was blood, so I tried to erase it… Well, it’s not working… But it looks like you got hurt a lot? Shedding so much blood…”

Even though I clearly know what it is.

Posao pretended not to know and smiled sinisterly.

Tia lowered her head in shame.

“… “I wasn’t hurt.”

“Well, then?”

Answer in a low voice.

“Menstruation… “It is.”

“Ahhh… !”

The guy smiled awkwardly.

With a distorted appearance, it repeats what I said.

“Hey, it must be difficult. Herbal tea… “Would you like a ride?”

“…”

Tia nodded her head.

“Okay! Do it right away, I’ll do it!”

“I… And uncle… There’s something else I’d like to ask you.”

“Yes? Whatever you say, just say it!”

There was a moment of hesitation in his eyes.

She spoke in a firm voice.

“Tonight… Let’s go to Brisden together.”

* * *

That night.

Brisden, which was supposed to be bustling with baptism, was so quiet.

Tia aimed for that time.

She secretly climbed the mountain and entered the hill where the Assassins were gathered.

Posao, who was forced to follow, asked in an anxious voice.

“T, Tia… Do we really have to go this far?”

“…”

“Well, if I get caught, I’ll die too… Oh, no?”

Tia didn’t say anything.

She just silently walked to the place where I was buried.

Chin.

Finally, the little boots stopped.

There was resting water with my name engraved on it, and there were also traces of the land that had just been covered.

Sak!

Tia plunged the shovel she was carrying on her shoulder straight into the ground.
Posao urgently stopped him.

“For now, let’s go back and think again… I’m scared…”

“Mister, please watch over me.”

“Tia…”

“Please.”

“Oh, okay.”

Posao, who had been talking for a long time, closed his mouth and looked around the village to see if there was anyone there.

Pop! Pop! Pak!

Tia, reflected in the moonlight, looked almost crazy.

Like a she-wolf howling in madness at the loss of her husband.
Her red eyes glowed bright red, and she started digging down the ground.

How difficult it must have been for her to dig into the ground with her bare little hands on a freezing cold winter night.
After taking her first shovel, it wasn’t long before her hands were red and swollen.

“…”

Still, Tia didn’t stop and kept digging.

By the time she reached her knees

Empty!

Something hard caught on the tip of the shovel.

As Tia removed the dirt with her hands, the surface of her wooden coffin was visible.

“Ritz… !”

Her hands started to become more urgent.
In order to open the lid, she had to remove the remaining dirt that was still accumulated.

She was working hard on her periphery with a shovel.

“T, Tia! People are coming…”

Posao, who was watching her, spoke in an anxious voice.
Tia looked behind her.

A lantern was floating in the darkness of Brisden.

A patrolman is coming here.

“I have to run away… !”

“It’s done!”

Unlike her frightened Po Sao, Tia dug straight into the ground.

Pop! Pak!

After removing the last of her dirt, Tia pushed open the coffin lid.

Slurp-.

The lid, which is made of wood but is extremely heavy, is pushed.

I, who was sleeping inside, was exposed to the moonlight.

“Ritz… I’m here… “It was cold, right?”

Tia wiped the dirt off my face with her hand.
Posao urged.

“T, Tia. Hurry… !”

Sreuk-.

Tia took me out of the coffin, and she filled the hole with the coffin lid and dirt.

“Mister! “Post it!”

“Me, me?”

“Hurry!”

Posao made a disapproving expression and had no choice but to put me on his back.

Meanwhile, Tia cleaned up after herself and picked up a rock.

Swish! Taaaaak!

A stone thrown with force falls in a remote place.

The patrolman who had come close to the bottom of the hill heard the sound of stones and turned his head.

“Now… !”

Tia and Posao took me into the forest.

* * *

From that day on, my body stayed in the general store.

Tia newly decorated the first floor.

The area visible to the front door and window was decorated as a ‘general store’, and the area out of sight was made into a treatment center solely to take care of myself.

We made a bed by connecting unused chairs, and covered it with a huge tablecloth to make a hospital bed.

Also, ‘medicine’ was made in the kitchen using medicinal ingredients left at the general store.

The plan was like this.

While Tia is taking care of me in this relatively safe place.

She said she would write a letter to the royal doctor to find out how to wake him up somehow.

Of course, Posao was not pleased, but she didn’t stop Tia and let her do as she pleased.

Treatment research continued day and night.

Every day, I asked Po Sao to get meds and books from the village below.

At first, Posao complied with all the requests, but as the demands became more and more expensive, he began to add words one by one.

“Well, it costs a lot of money to buy all of this…”

“Sorry… But I really need it…”

“Uhm… Ah, Okay!! There is nothing we can do if necessary. “I will save you.”

He said that in front of Tia.

When I left the general store, I frowned and screamed wildly.

“… Sheesh! Lord, this guy is as good as dead… Po, why can’t you give up?”

The guy’s cheeks were trembling.

“When I came to my house… Still Ritz, Ritz, Ritz… “I’m so sick of it, I’m dying!”

Posao, who was walking with a huff, suddenly spoke in a gloomy voice.

“Also… Do it, I have to do it…”

The guy twisted his lips and laughed.

“Hey. Hehe…”

The sound of that laughter was creepy and sinister.
