Episode 29
As I was saddened by the desolation for a long time, I heard a barking sound from outside the cave.
“Knife?! Is it a knife? Black~ Knife~!! Save me!!”
“Quaang~ Kheuheuong~!!”
The knife seemed clear. The ogre glanced at me as if he heard Carl barking, then let out a ferocious roar and headed out of the cave. And I secretly follow him. It seemed that this was an opportunity. The cold was stronger because she was naked… But she still had plenty of mana. As expected, it seemed that he had eaten the ogre’s semen well.
“I’m so glad. Black… The knife is for me again…”
When I went out of the cave, I saw a knife. He was relieved and was able to breathe a sigh of relief. But even then, for a while, Carl started to worry. Compared to an ogre, it’s a really small body. Could such a sword withstand an ogre? I was so worried.
“Karl… Shouldn’t hurt…”
To be saved by Carl again… I was really heartbroken. It seemed like I needed a knife too. How could I hate a knife that was given to me like this?
“Evil! Watch out for the knife!!”
“Kreung~ Kwaing~ Kaeng~”
It was a knife that flew away after being hit by the arm wielded by an ogre. Fortunately, the sword was not caught in the ogre’s grasp. It was because if he had been caught by the ogre, he must have been hurt by his strong grip.
“Huh~ I’m glad. No, it’s not like this, but that ogre with the sword…!!”
However, there was no weapon to use against the ogre. No matter how much he knew how to use mana, he couldn’t use it 100% because he didn’t have a blade. Even if I only had one blade… I really felt like I was so insignificant. The fate of being saved by Carl every time. I hated myself for not being able to pay it back properly.
“Hey~ Carl!!”
“Kreung~ Kreung~!!”
It was the knife that drew the attention of the ogre, beckoning me to run away. The ogre also responded to the knife’s provocation and moved his body as if he had no particular interest in me. I was hesitant about what would happen to Carl, but there was nothing I could do. Rather, getting out of here quickly was the way to help Carl.
“Karl~!! Must~!! You must be safe!! Black~”
I was very worried about Carl… But I decided to get out of here quickly. It was because it was clear that if I escaped, the sword would also be able to escape from the ogre. I was able to reach the shore of the lake by running for a while. Fortunately, there was a rabbitskin coat that had been taken off by the lake.
“Phew~ Someone didn’t pick it up… I’m really glad.”
So, I picked up the rabbit skin and hurriedly put it on. And at the same time, all mana was consumed. It seemed like it was because I couldn’t properly control mana because I was in such a hurry.
“It’s cold… Now go back to the hideout and wait for the knife…”
Carl should be safe… I was so worried. I returned to my hiding place and wrapped myself in the skins lying around. Because it was really, really cold and scary.
“Ugh… It’s cold… Will the knife be safe? Would you have run away by now? Where did you get hurt…”
I really thought of every star. I’m sure you’ll be fine, but I’d be so worried. It seemed that he had neglected the knife too much. No matter how many things Carl has done for me… As expected, if I come back safely this time… I thought it would be nice to give him my first.
“Okay. Just come back safely… Then I’ll give you the first time I’ve ever wanted… Black…”
But even after waiting for a long time, the knife did not come back. A heart that grows more and more afraid. And anxiety. I was really very anxious. Maybe the sword is dead? Then it didn’t work. But I still felt that uneasy feeling. If he were still alive, he would have already come back and rubbed his body against me to praise him… Still not coming back…
“No… It shouldn’t be. What a beast Carl is… He must have run away and is recovering his body somewhere. Yes… I will… Black.”
I thought it wouldn’t be… But I still couldn’t help but feel anxious. I ended up counting the night with open eyes like that. But even then, Carl hadn’t returned.
“Ugh… Really… Are you really dead? Knife…”
I didn’t even know I was really… Killed by the ogre. But I was more afraid to go outside and check it out. It was because it seemed that the sword would return if he stayed in the hiding place like this. But as time passed, it seemed that the anxiety was becoming more and more real.
“No…!! I can’t.. Because of me… The knife is because of me…”
It really seemed like everything was my fault. Going to the lakeside alone…And being captured by ogres…It was all my fault. So one day became two days, then three days.
“Hungry…”
I was hungry and sleepy. It’s the third day to stay up all night… The knife didn’t come. He probably wouldn’t see it forever. Carl… Carl seemed dead.
“Ugh… Go out… Ok, go out and check it out. I can’t stay like this!!”
To do so, I decided to fill my stomach first. Fortunately, I don’t know when I caught it, but there was a beast outside the hideout. Perhaps, at the time I was caught, Carl was also hunting.
“Ah… Carl… Black. I’m really… I’m really sorry… You’re Carl because of me…”
So he groomed the beast and ate the meat, crying. It was really very sad. And I was so anxious that the knife wasn’t by my side.
“Now I’m going to… Find the knife. Really… You don’t know if he died or if he’s suffering from an injury somewhere…”
Of course, it seemed almost certain that he was dead… But he seemed to be able to live in the future if he had hope. When I see that thought… I was able to realize how precious the knife was to me.
“No… Black… Nowhere!!”
Carl seemed to have disappeared. Or maybe it was being slowly digested in the ogre’s stomach… I searched until I was exhausted, but I couldn’t find the knife at all. So I came back to the hiding place and shuddered and was overcome with fear. There was no one to rely on in this forest anymore. Not even a single being…
“Ah… I don’t have a knife… Anymore… How should I live… Now?”
I muttered like I was really lost. It really shocked me that I didn’t have a knife… It seemed that I had treated my precious knife so carelessly. If Carl was alive… It would be great… It was really, really sad.
