Chapter 194 – Ep.12 – My Dog
Nitocrio was looking for Delrin, and the Dark Elf who came to tell him respectfully waited for Delrin.
It didn’t take long to understand its meaning. Even Delrin, whose brain wasn’t fast enough, could feel the firm will of the Dark Elves.
Nitocrio wanted Delrin right away. The Dark Elf, who waited immobile, waiting for Delrin to move, seemed like he wouldn’t move for the rest of his life without taking him.
Above all,
He looked very nervous.
————————————
Delrin and the three women followed the Dark Elves.
During the day, I kept the sunlight and walked under the lights that brightened the dark night.
Stepped on the red leather carpet,
Past the many torches that drive away the chill of the night,
At last they stood before the king’s bed. A door too large to open alone was guarding Nitocrio’s room.
The wolf that sniffed at her with her ears perked up, the great witch who did not let go of her wand, and the witch’s apprentice who hesitated and hid behind the great witch. And, Delrin knocked on the bedroom door directly in front of them.
Knock, knock, knock-
Three knocks followed,
As I hesitated and pondered over how many more times to knock, the door to the bedroom opened.
“Have you come… “
A low voice came from within. The atmosphere outside the door also becomes quite serious due to the serious voice that bounces on the sandstone and sand.
The Dark Elves standing to protect Nitocrio exude a strange atmosphere and fix their spears again. Their dark brown eyes are focused on Delrin and the others, and Kaede and Chichi glance at them as if confronting each other.
“Come in… “
Nitocrio calls them in before the eyes of the women cross for a moment. After looking at Kaede, Chichi, and Eva a couple of times, Delrin immediately…
“Save.”
[The save point has been set!]
They mutter a password that only they know.
It’s not that I didn’t trust Nitocrio and saved.
Only,
I’ve come too far from the point where I saved last time, and I’m in a situation where I’m preparing to leave after finishing the ceremony. Now it’s time to make some saves.
‘… And I might say something embarrassing.’
Delrin’s instinctive sense, or premonition, makes us guess why Nitocrio called. His shy face, like a girl in love, comes to mind again.
‘Fuck… No matter how pretty Nitocrio is for a man, this isn’t real. This is not… !’
Anyway, if I had one more day, I would ride on the back of the huge whale Job, but I still need to be nice to Nitocrio until I leave.
It’s because Nitocrio treats Delrin and the others as special envoys and takes care of them. Nitocrio is what she promises to let go and can replace everything.
“… Yes, come closer.”
Contrary to Delrin’s expectations, however, Nitocrio was trembling with his entire body covered in a thin blanket.
Seeing him lying helpless and being taken care of by the attendants, Delrin senses that something is wrong.
Green vines, which I have never seen in my life, are wrapped around thin wrists, and a cloth soaked in heat is placed on the forehead.
I could clearly feel the reddish cheeks, the shallow wheezing, and the bad sweat soaking my body. Delrin, embarrassed by Nitocrio’s unfamiliar appearance, hurriedly approached and asked.
“Um, what’s going on? Why all of a sudden?”
It was fine until yesterday.
For some reason, the brown-skinned boy is lying sick, moaning from heat and pain.
“… You seem to have relaxed after a big event. Don’t worry.”
Contrary to Nitocrio’s words not to worry, a number of Dark Elves cling to him and take care of him with utmost sincerity.
There is not the slightest amount of composure on their faces. All of them are nervous and anxious, and take care of Nitocrio.
“I really wanted to meet you. Yes come closer closer.”
“Great king, you must not move now… !”
When Nitocrio struggles to get up, the Dark Elves are startled and try to stop him,
“Done. Would everyone please leave your seat for a while? I have something to share with Lord Delrin… “
Nitocrio barely straightened his posture with a faint smile, and held out his hand to Delrin.
Delrin hurriedly approached the trembling little hand. The Dark Elves reluctantly move aside for Delrin, and the two boys hold hands and look at each other.
“Oh, it was fine until yesterday. Where are you sick? Are you sick? Or not… “
“Stop. Didn’t I tell you not to worry?”
Nitocrio’s clear, transparent eyes have lost their power and become cloudy. Delrin doesn’t know what to do, just grabbing her gripping hand a little tighter.
“I called because there was something I wanted to say. I felt like I couldn’t stand myself under the rising sun tomorrow. Okay. This is probably… It will be my last goodbye to you as you leave. Bye bye. Also, don’t be too resentful for not being able to see you off.”
“What do you resent for something like that? Get some rest soon… !”
While they were saying their last goodbyes, Chichi, Kaede, and even Eva cautiously approached Delrin’s side. The eyes of the three of them also stay on the weakened Nitocrio and accept the seriousness of the situation.
“No, would you just leave it to Chi-chi? My older sister is the best at magic… ! You can fix this in no time!”
This time, everyone’s eyes are on Chi-Chi, and Chi-Chi hesitates for a moment in embarrassment, but then straightens his wand again and speaks.
“Um, hmm! Well, there’s nothing that a witch like that can’t fix.”
As a member of the hero party that has already been recognized by the Dark Elves, there is no one who expresses disapproval of Chi-Chi’s magic and healing abilities.
Only Nitocrio crossed his head weakly and smiled bitterly.
“Quit.”
“Great King! What are you talking about? Hurry up and help… !”
Other Dark Elves ask for help on behalf of the young and weak king. Even if they dare to go against the king’s will, Mudriel’s Dark Elves need to save the king no matter what.
Chichi clears her throat a few times and feels the desperate eyes of Delrin and the dark elves for a moment, then immediately raises her wand and draws a small magic circle.
“You don’t have to look at me like I lost the whole world. It’s not even that hard of a magic… ? Huh… ?”
However, when Chi-Chi finds out something, she can’t hide her embarrassment and cuts off her magic in the middle.
“Wait for a sec… Hmm… Uh… First… “
After that, he began to carefully construct a fairly large magic circle. There is a little nervousness in Chichi’s hand movements.
“What’s this… ?”
“Why? Why are you doing this?”
Chi-Chi doesn’t answer Delrin’s question, but calmly draws a magic circle.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her draw her magic circle so carefully like this time.
Experts at the level of Chi-Chi freely cast magic even with a silent spear, but for really important magic, they draw a magic circle to carefully activate it.
Her Chichi is a very unusual case who likes the feeling of drawing magic circles, so she draws them more often than others, but the magic circles she draws for her Nito Crio are exceptionally sophisticated and delicate even for her.
In a situation where the Dark Elves, Delrin, and even Kaede’s bouncing tail were silent,
Chichi sheds a couple of drops of sweat…
“Cure.”
Shout short spells.
Brilliant blue crystals quietly pour out of the magic circle, and as they circle around Nitocrio, they fade like melting snow.
“Well, I’m not an expert in healing magic, but this should be better than prayers using divine power.”
Healing magic to restore mana in the body, and prayer spells to restore the body itself by praying to the gods.
Chichi cast a great healing magic even on Nitocrio, who had a significant lack of mana in his body. It’s magic that other witches wouldn’t even dream of, but it’s not too difficult for Chichi.
“Okay… “
However, did Chichi’s perfect treatment not work? Nitocrio is still tired and smiling bitterly.
“Sister… ? Are you sure you wrote it correctly?”
“What are you talking about? Zee, are you doubting my magic now? Mana is all attached to it, and if it wasn’t for me, I could have really died! I don’t know what the disease is, but I’ve cured it anyway… !?”
Not only Delrin, but the other Dark Elves wander around and check Nitocrio’s condition, and even though it seems to be better than before, there still seems to be a problem.
However, in the meantime
Delrin suddenly met Nitocrio’s eyes.
With very light tears,
Wiggling eyes.
When he noticed that Delrin’s eyes met, he tried to avoid his eyes and turned his head away.
Even the reason, Delrin could understand.
“Ah… “
Nitocrio immediately turned his eyes away from Delrin, but Delrin was able to read his inner thoughts in that brief moment.
No, I knew it implicitly, but
Is it because the feelings of the boy he met in person were so sad and lonely?
Delrin couldn’t bear to lift her head.
In that large bedroom, only the two boys were silent.
The Dark Elves clung to Chichi asking for help one more time, Chichi got angry at Chichi for being out of the way, Eva wrapped around Chichi and explained that there was no problem with her magic, and Kaede whimpered that someone had stepped on her tail. ,
The only two boys were silent and holding hands awkwardly.
“… Don’t worry and leave.”
Nitocrio murmured softly. However, no matter how small it was, the cry in his voice could not be hidden.
“Jim is fine. It is not swayed by momentary emotions and wrong directions.”
Contrary to what he said, his voice trembled so pitifully.
“It’s just that it’s the first time letting a friend go, so it’s just hard. Don’t worry.”
It was a lie.
Nitocrio was lying…
“… Yes. Thank you.”
However, Delrin was willing to conform to the lie. That way, neither of them got into trouble.
That was goodbye
Delrin could never come back here again. No, she shouldn’t have come back. Even for the sake of Nitto Crio, she had to leave.
For some reason, Delrin thought of Levy.
And then she had Rico,
Neva,
Chichi,
Kaede,
Eva,
Helen,
Finally, I thought of the Queen.
A lot of really stupid and stupid things happened in this world. In case it wasn’t a novel, women would aim at Delrin’s body whenever they had a chance, and Delrin would roll around and get eaten like her dog.
But, why?
As if possessed by something about her, Delrin retraced her past, but instead of the insults inflicted on her by women, several faces came to mind.
The emotions that filled their faces came to mind. Some were crying, some were angry, and some were laughing so brightly.
My head hurt.
Delrin stumbled and placed her hand on her forehead.
I have to get out of this stupid novel world as soon as possible,
For some reason, everything he faced was so clear, and every time he recalled it, his heart ached.
“Delrin. Would you like to rest for a while?”
So it seems.
Delrin clutched her forehead and complained of her headache, reflexively responding to the voices around her.
“Yes, yes… Wait for a sec… “
Just like his confused head, the surroundings were also very complicated, and a frantic commotion was unfolding.
Delrin just needed a moment to cool down. He needed time to rest.
So she just answered.
“Shall we go?”
The tattoo on his left wrist was starting to glow little by little, and someone was talking while gently holding the area.
Delrin had no time to come to her senses because of the heartbreaking love she faced in low-level situations.
“Yes, yes… “
This wasn’t a novel.
At least to Delrin, this was reality.
He encountered all sorts of unrealistic situations in an unfamiliar world. However, this cannot be called a mere dream, or a momentary experience in another world that I had been pounding rice cakes for a while…
It was such a reality.
Some find it funny that men love each other, some hate it extremely, and some want it so much that they smear BL everywhere.
Delrin was one of them. So, when he faced Nitto Crio’s strange feelings, he might have simply dismissed it as a ‘third-rate novel development that feels like shit’.
Such a stupid development to get through with save and load…
However, Delrin
When she faced something bitter from Nito Crio, she had no choice but to stop.
Regardless of whether you like it or not,
Delrin had no choice but to stop…
“Huh.”
However, as he paused, he had a hunch that something was wrong.
The voices of all the Dark Elves ringing in his ears, the voices of Chichi, Kaede, and Eva, and even the sound of Nitocrio’s blankets rustling.
All of them suddenly disappeared at some point.
“… ?”
Delrin had no choice but to open her eyes again in a situation where she felt uncomfortable. The feeling of someone’s presence, still felt from his left wrist, was growing.
“It’s been a while?”
It was a familiar voice. Delrin couldn’t forget that voice. She had definitely heard this voice before, but at that time she had no mind left to distinguish her voice.
But now, when I thought of its owner, an inexhaustible chill came to me in an instant. Delrin’s face, which had already turned pale, was dripping with sweat that was even colder than that.
“Road… Road… “
It was a reflex reaction. Delrin pronounces the two words ‘Rod’ accurately and clearly in order to hold on to the only rope that will save her.
However, nothing changes.
What is in front of his eyes
A space where you don’t know where it is,
“My dog.”
Even with her cold face, there is only the image of the queen with a smile on her lips.
