Chapter 24 – Return
A half-human, half-beast race, Echidna.
The upper body is a human, but the lower body is a snake.
“How can I steal eggs from such chicks?”
I wasn’t particularly afraid of snakes, but it was different if a person had a snake’s tail instead of legs.
“They’re a really fucking terrible race.”
How do you have sex
That was a bit curious
I folded the paper I had looked at several times and put it in my pocket.
She briefly recalls a conversation with her.
– Are you in the city? I do not care. For the time being, semen is enough for research anyway.
That’s why I decided to find some money first in Tallard and rest for a few days.
Since so much has happened in the meantime, I, a petit bourgeois, need a reminder.
Because of this, I decided to aim for Echidna’s egg leisurely.
On top of that, to be honest, my fighting skills are shit.
Fortunately, Echidnas are not of a warlike species, but anyway, would her darling stop stealing her eggs?
It’s only right to get a couple of cheap mercenaries with her sword and go.
It won’t help much, but it’s better than being alone.
It would be nice to find out some information about Echidna.
She had heard before that there was a library in Tallard.
“Mmm.”
In fact, she didn’t want to be involved with Sophia Drin anymore.
-Are you coming back, Ed?
As if she could see it, she said something mixed with mild anxiety to me.
She closed her eyes for a moment and chewed.
As expected, since I made the lonely kid look forward to it, I must take responsibility.
“Wait a little.”
She spat out words that would never be told to her.
He treated me harshly, but even now, when I think of that time, I get an erection.
And the truth I found out later.
After leaving the cabin, I checked on the way back to Donkey Village, and it turned out that Sophia Drin was not Ben’s old mother.
I quietly took out a piece of paper that I could now throw away.
[Inquire about the witch’s hut in the village full of donkeys west of Tallard, and he-]
Ben, you asshole.
It got deleted because I didn’t write it properly.
[Ask for the Witch’s Hut in a village full of donkeys west of Tallard and go straight in that direction to find the wheat farmer.]
Perhaps it was originally written this way.
Like Nardil’s paper, he tucked it into his underwear and hid it, and the back part was blown off by sweat.
Fuck, I didn’t know that, and I was in agony thinking that Sophia Drin was Ben’s mother.
“A real bastard, that one.”
Just in case, at the end of a search here and there, I finally found Ben’s mother.
He wrote a potion from a recipe that the king coveted for his sick mother.
Next time we meet, I’m going to pay respectfully and get some money.
If we meet again.
It wasn’t until long after I left the cabin that I realized that the backpack Sophia Drin had packed for me contained three bottles of that precious potion.
Are you worried that I might get hurt?
It’s a really cute bitch that can’t be honest.
“Good job.”
I’m not a fatalist, but thanks to Ben, I met Sophia Drin, so a bottle was worth it.
The parents of someone I know are dying right in front of my eyes, and honestly, I can’t spare them.
It was enough to prove how effective the potion was.
I decided to carry the other two bottles for my own use.
If you sell the potion in the city, you can sell it at a high price, but I thought it would be complicated to prove the effect and source, so I decided to just think of it as an extra life.
‘By the way….’
In the end, the vampire never met again.
She left a note in the old man’s trough before getting into the carriage just in case, but honestly, she might read it.
It is unavoidable.
“Turn it off. My back hurts.”
Sitting in her hard carriage for a long time made her hips and back ache.
So now I’m heading to Tallard.
“Finally.”
I was on my way to get the money Nardil had promised.
I don’t know if you’re getting along with the devil.
If it was Nardil, she didn’t want anything to do with Delton again.
“I need to stop by the inn as well.”
The wood on one side of the wagon was rotten, so I gently scratched it with my fingers.
I made a small hole and brought my eyes to it, and I saw the scenery outside the carriage.
And finally, in the distance, the walls of Tallard came into view.
* * *
As soon as I arrived in Tallard, the first thing I looked for was a bank in the city.
Entering the place where dozens of guards were strictly waiting, I felt somewhat intimidated.
After looking around for a moment, I approached the receptionist who looked leisurely.
“I came for some dinars, here.”
“Ah, please wait a moment.”
The paper that Nardil handed me was not simply written with a few letters on it, but she stamped it with ink on her mercenary card, so I wouldn’t think she tampered with it.
I wanted to raise the amount slightly, but I stopped because I thought I would get a bounty if I did.
The receptionist, who checked for a while, answered with a smile.
“It is 990 dinars excluding fees.”
I was furious at the word fee, but about 10 dinars was fine.
“Then tell me what currency you want.”
“Uh, just dinars, please.”
Cash is best.
The 18 coins that were handed out to me like that.
9 100 dinars and 9 10 dinars.
‘It’s fucking real.’
As I looked at the shiny coin bundle, I was out of breath.
After taking a quick look around, he hurriedly took it and left the bank as if being chased by someone.
Money is relative, so it may be insignificant to someone, but for me, this amount of dinar was a fucking huge amount.
Deliberately walking down a street full of people, he checked the dinar dozens of times, which he had stored well in his inside pocket.
She felt that no one was interested in me, but just in case.
As I was walking, I saw a familiar building at some point.
That’s the cheap inn I stayed at last in Tallard.
“What if I left my luggage?”
I was originally a beggar, so I didn’t have anything expensive, but it was a waste of money to buy again.
Entering the inn with such thoughts in mind, I felt as if I had returned home.
There was no one inside, as if there was still no business.
“Excuse me?”
Even when I snooped at the counter, I couldn’t see where the innkeeper or his daughter had gone.
So I secretly took the key to the room I was tied to and went upstairs.
The corner of the floor where no one is tied up, the most trashy room that doesn’t get much sunlight.
I rattled the key and unlocked the door there.
Profit.
“Oh, you didn’t clean it?”
My luggage was left piled in a corner by someone.
I started rummaging through it and picking up something reasonably useful.
It wasn’t a lot, so it took about ten minutes.
“Hmm, I think it would be better to stay at another inn.”
It wasn’t kind, but because the innkeeper reduced the accommodation fee, I had a good time here, but it would be foolish to live with anxiety to save a little money.
Living here, if one day the lady who suddenly bit me on my cock reported me, I would have my throat cut.
‘Come to think of it, he was the first.’
The waitress was the first person to touch my cock and, though he couldn’t finish it, put it in his mouth.
I was going to give you a tip of about 10 dinars if you run into it, but it worked out.
With that thought in mind, I quietly went downstairs.
After all, the inn lobby is empty.
I look around for a while and then go outside.
The sun had set, and I looked up at the now darkened sky.
Doo doo!
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a large number of people running.
Surprised, I turned around after stroking the inside pocket I had habitually put the dinar in.
“Catch him!”
When I turned around, I saw more than five guards rushing at me.
Shit like this
* * *
Somewhere in the nameless forest.
A lot of greedy insects were clinging to a piece of yellow rotten and rotten lump placed there and eating it.
When one life dies, it becomes fertilizer for others.
If there was already such a hot heat wave, the rate of rotting was even faster.
But somehow, as time passed, the rotten mass began to take on a distinct blue color, as if in retrograde.
After a while, five projections protruded from the crushed mass.
It lengthens little by little and takes shape.
The stupid bugs didn’t grasp the bizarre sight and gobbled it up, but slowly one by one they withered away.
The rotting organic matter did not become food for the worms, but on the contrary, they were absorbed by the organic matter.
The lump that grew in size by absorbing the dried up bugs and grass began to recognize its surroundings.
Grass, trees, forest.
As I started recognizing them, the consciousness of the mass slowly awoke.
And the first thing that came to my mind when I woke up was.
Death.
A lump, no, now a fully equipped doll, raised its body.
“Black hair.”
He remembered the existence that had killed him.
Then, it changed into a body shape similar to that of the existence, but slightly different.
Blue hair grew on the mandulhan head, and the chest was raised, and the surface was dyed white.
“Friend.”
I don’t know what that means, but I liked it quite a bit.
By the way.
“Why?”
Why did he kill himself?
I had to ask for it.
“Lea.”
Recalling the name he had given her, Lia started walking through the woods slowly moving her legs, which were still awkward for her.
