Chapter 17 – Brunette Ellie (3)
*
As a result, we won. But I couldn’t help but laugh.
Lina lashed out at Nassen and broke him in two.
Nassen’s lower body, cut in half, lay in front of Lina.
But Lina said sadly.
“You missed them.”
It was absurd, but he said that even if it was cut in half, Nassen would still be alive.
“They use evil tricks, so unless you cut their heads and burn them, there’s a good chance they’ll survive.”
They are scary There was a reason why Furuku ran away with Nasen’s half-dismembered upper body.
“Why don’t you chase after me? Lina-sama.”
“If we pursued without preparation, we could be in danger from Nassen’s sorcery. At least there was an old man who was a sorcerer… I had to pressure Nassen so he couldn’t use her sorcery… It’s my fault for missing Nasen.”
It wasn’t that there were no results at all. Nassen rummaged through the pockets of her half-dismembered body, and found some useful information.
[Assassination – Victoria]
It looked like they were ordered from the upper level. I missed them, but I knew my next target.
Kerry had a feeling that they would meet again, but Lina’s expression was unusual.
Lina’s hand trembled as she held the paper on which her order was written. Is something going on?
Kerry had a vague sense of it as she watched it.
‘Could it be… Victoria is also Lina’s former colleague?’
I have absolutely no idea what the story is between Lina and those guys. But Lina’s reaction now seemed similar to Natasha’s.
Lina squeezed her hands together.
‘Is Victoria’s assassination date earlier than in her previous life? Why? Because I’m changing the past bit by bit?’
The only variable that has changed is the regressor himself. I couldn’t think of any other case.
As Kerry thought, Victoria was Lina’s former colleague. Of course, even in her previous life, Victoria did not die in this assassination.
However, her family, except for Victoria, is annihilated. To be precise, it is offered as a human sacrifice.
Lina squeezed her hands together.
‘I have to save Victoria.’
The days of laughing with Victoria were still vivid in my mind. Lina said she wanted to save Victoria no matter what.
*
After a commotion at the farmhouse, villagers came in with weapons.
The villagers were wary of her group of strangers, Lina, but when Kerry actively stepped forward, her misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
Kerry was a hero who saved the village with holy water. Although she got the money.
Lina’s expression did not look good, as if she felt guilty for the dead villagers.
Kerry noticed Lina’s feelings.
[Emotion – depressed. Remorse. Anger.]
It would be more accurate to say that I saw it rather than noticed it.
“It’s not Lina’s fault.”
When he said that, Lina smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
“Kerry, but how did she prepare for that?”
Kerry seemed to be saying that she had prepared a Molotov cocktail.
At that time, without Kerry’s help, it would have been a dangerous situation.
Of course, since he was a regressor, there might have been a few hidden numbers.
“I looked around the village and saw a lot of people who were not in good condition. I had seen people with voodoo in the past, and the reaction was very similar to that.
So I could notice what they were preparing.”
Of course, it was all a suitably made-up answer. Lina didn’t seem to have any doubts, though. Even if a person is too nice, it’s alright.
“Because I’m weak. I have to help in this way.”
“Don’t say that. Kerry-sama is quite helpful in the party. Even this time, if it wasn’t for Kerry-sama’s base, it would have been dangerous.”
‘Did I do something this time? It’s Lina You have to take good care of me from now on.’
I am very happy to become close with the regressor.
“Natasha. Come to think of it, where is Grandma?”
“Grandma said it looked dangerous to go, so I told her to wait in the village for a while.”
Judging by the results, it wasn’t a bad decision.
‘I also need a main tank. Without someone to protect the rear, the balance is not right.’
Lina will take care of the part about recruiting the party. It’s not something I care about.
“Seobangnim saved me this time too. Hehe.”
“It’s the same with Natasha.”
Natasha seemed to have used the pods in her eyes. Little by little I removed the clinging Natasha and headed towards the dining room.
After working hard, the rice tasted like honey. At that time, I saw young people coming from the entrance of the village.
“What? Adventurer! You’re eating.”
“The hero of the village! Thanks to the holy water that the adventurer gave us, our village was saved. The voodoo spell was solved without exception.”
“Thank you so much! Adventurer!”
As if to ask for an explanation, I started talking to the party staring at me.
It is said that he gave the holy water for the villagers who were getting into voodoo and turning into ghouls.
Lina said admiringly.
“You’ve done a lot in a short amount of time.”
“It’s nothing. And this is the reward I received from the villagers in exchange for holy water. As promised, the three of us share it.”
Everyone looks surprised when a thick money bag is brought to the table.
In the first place, I had no intention of gulp alone. If you’re too greedy, you’ll get sick.
‘I set aside half of it for myself.’
It was when Natasha rushed to say that she was cool. The village youths smiled sinisterly and said playfully.
“Hey. Adventurer. You’ve got a lot of money… Now you should be able to do ‘that’.”
“It?”
When I looked at the young people with a voice that I did not know why, the village youth spoke again.
“The pride of the town!”
‘If it’s the pride of the village…It’s brown haired Ellie!’
“Ah! The pride of the town? You can’t leave out that.”
The village youth laughed loudly. Rina and the others only put a question mark on the unfamiliar sound.
‘Let’s talk about dangerous jokes like this.’
When I winked at the young people to go quickly, I jokingly cheered and went into the corner of the store.
‘Perhaps Lina will ask to leave right away, even tomorrow morning…Tonight is the last chance to see brown-haired Ellie.’
It was time for the hero who saved the village to confirm the pride of the village.
*
As expected, Lina said that in the morning, let’s move towards our destination. It was where Lina’s former colleague, Victoria, was.
Lina had to save Victoria.
“I have never heard the name Victoria. This is the name of a young lady from a territory far away from here. Why don’t you go there tomorrow?
It would be more moral to inform Victoria of the danger… Wait for them there and you’ll be able to meet them.”
As a result, tonight was the last chance to see the town’s proud brown-haired Ellie.
I had to leave this town tomorrow morning.
“The morning wind is cold.”
The full moon is a bright dawn. To the extent that it is not difficult to see ahead even without other lights.
The place where Ellie is is called the Red Light District.
It seems to be a fairly large brothel street, but Ellie has a high nose even there.
A red-lit street is visible in the distance. It was as the village youths had said.
Kerry wore a mask.
Since the regressor and the party are women, their image will be ruined if they are caught going to such a place.
‘But I can’t leave without seeing the pride of the town!’
I went to the brothel, which is said to be the biggest in the red light district. The big guard in front of the brothel asked politely.
“Do you have any reservations?”
I hadn’t even thought about making a reservation. Could it be that Ellie can only be seen by making a reservation?
“I’m here to see Ellie.”
“Ellie decided to take a break today because of the unsavory events in the town.”
You have a day off today. Tonight is the last But it’s not that there isn’t a way to look at it even for a moment.
“I didn’t come to see you for work in particular. However… There is something I must tell Eli.”
“May I ask what you need to say?”
“I’m here to deliver my father’s will.”
It was a lie, but the effect was clear. It wasn’t long after one of the big gatekeepers went inside.
A modest woman began guiding me.
If you look here, it’s a drinking board, if you look there, it’s a drinking board. Laughter could be heard from time to time amid the din of loud feasting.
It’s not just a place for prostitution, it also sells alcohol.
There was money he received from selling the holy water, but he was worried that it would be enough.
The woman who was guiding me stopped in front of the door. Then he carefully lowered his head and moved away.
There’s a brown-haired Ellie on the other side of this door.
Since it was a room with a woman, I knocked and opened the door. It is a big room. To the point where I thought it would only be used when at least 10 people come.
Somewhere in the middle of the room, a woman was sitting on her knees.
Fair skin with brown hair. I see a woman so beautiful that even the moonlight looks faded.
It was a neat atmosphere that was not like a prostitute, but it had a strange sexiness. It’s covered by clothes, but it feels like something great is hiding underneath.
It seemed like I knew why the young people sang Eli, Eli.
“Welcome. Adventurer. I’ve heard many stories. You saved the village, right?”
Tears were still moist in Ellie’s eyes. It must have been because of my father who passed away today. You are so beautiful even when you cry
“I just did what I had to do as a human being.”
“It’s really cool that you’re humble. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving the village. It’s a small thing, but today I’ll take care of the adventurer who saved the village.”
For free? Free is good, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t feel like a piece of cake.
It seemed that he was polite to the hero who saved the village and wanted to hear his father’s will.
Ellie came over to the side and handed me a drink.
It’s a completely different feeling than the obscene sounds I’ve heard all the way here.
‘Well, my father passed away today…Do you have the energy to do that?’
However, Ellie’s beautiful appearance kept her causing her infatuation.
It was after exchanging glasses a few times and having a formal talk. Kerry brought up the main topic that Ellie would be most curious about.
“It’s about your father.”
“Yes. Adventurer.”
“He was dying because of those vicious bastards in town.”
“Yes…”
Ellie’s face suddenly began to darken. What emotions will Ellie feel after hearing her father’s death her?
Kerry looked at Ellie’s feelings through her eyes of a goddess.
[Emotion – remorse. Sadness. Longing. Anger.]
Looking at Ellie’s emotional state of her, a rough picture is drawn. What kind of father would welcome his daughter who works in a brothel?
After working here, the relationship between Ellie and her father would most likely be very bad. It’s a natural story.
Perhaps they would have fought and shouted that they would be isolated.
However, the bond between parents and children is not so easily broken. Ellie must have missed her father her while working here.
My conscience stung a little, but right now the best thing I could do was to give Ellie the answer she wanted the most and ease her mind her.
“Ellie’s father was losing his mind from their evil sorcery. Originally, he wouldn’t even be able to speak human words… Maybe he had a big heart for his daughter his. He spoke to me clearly. Daughter. I have a… I have a daughter I love.”
Looking around, Ellie was already listening to the story with a face covered in tears. It seems that the general context is not very wrong.
“Then he asked me to tell my daughter that I love him. He said he was sorry. He missed me. He asked me to tell him that he was sorry that he couldn’t tell me that he loved me.”
It is my father’s will that will not go astray no matter where I put it.
Ellie finally couldn’t hold back and burst into tears. I came into the arms of Kerry, whom I saw for the first time today, as if my emotions were running high.
“…Huh! Father… Father…”
Kerry patted Ellie on the back. My conscience hurts so much.
But I don’t regret seeing Ellie today. Ellie was indeed a beauty of the ageless.
‘… It does n’t matter who she died, but at least Ellie has reconciled with her father her. It might have worked out.’
Ellie, who had been crying for a while, calmed down and got up. And he said in a voice full of resentment.
“My father… Was always a blunt man. He didn’t talk much.”
Fathers usually do.
“After my mother died…My father talked less and less. He didn’t say too much to me as a daughter, but I could always tell he loved me.”
“I see.”
“It was a time when I was farming with my father and living on just enough food to eat. One day there was a severe famine. To make matters worse… My father also got sick. It was the same disease that killed my mother.”
Little by little I started to guess why Ellie was here.
“I couldn’t even lose my father. But there was no way I could afford to pay for his treatment when I didn’t even have money to go through this winter. I really resent the world where you can’t even get treatment if you don’t have money.”
“But there wasn’t much I could do, as the only thing I learned was farming and chores. Fortunately, out of misfortune…Thanks to my smooth face, I was able to work here and send my father medical bills and living expenses for the winter.”
“There was a story like that.”
Seeing my moist eyes, Ellie hugged me again.
“But my father…My father…Was…Conservative and stubborn…Hehhhhh. He shouted, ‘Why don’t I just let him die?'”
From Ellie’s bursting out cry, I could imagine the story behind it.
It would have been difficult for the father to see his daughter who became a prostitute because of him.
“Ever since I started working here, I haven’t been able to talk to my father properly even once…But he still loved me. Until the end…Uhhh…Black. Adventurer. Thank you. Father’s will . Thank you for listening. Thank you very much.”
It was a lie like a will, but it was successfully completed. If it’s a touching ending like this, even Ellie’s father in the sky will nod.
‘It’s touching, but I want to have sex intensely! I don’t think that’s the case, but…’
It was then. Kerry flashed an idea of a way to have sex with Ellie.
