Chapter 165 – In the Twisted Timeline
Peary stretches out his hand and closes his eyes tightly. It seemed like she desperately wanted to make this situation right.
“Come back, please come back… !”
Tick, tick, tick, tick!
The hour and minute hands tried to appear, but they broke apart. At that situation, Peary trembled and shook her head.
Her mouth opened, but no words came out.
She was in a panic.
I can’t help it. I have to deal with it.
He slid in front of her and turned and kicked towards the slime.
Bwaak, phuwaak!
The slime was crushed in an instant. I checked Peary’s condition.
She was out of breath.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s no big deal, you just made a mistake, right? “It’s because it’s my first time.”
“I was so scared. If this was a territory and not a dungeon…”
“It’s your first time, but you still have good sense. It’s okay to make mistakes. If you learn something from them, it’s okay.”
I patted her shoulder and tried to calm her down somehow.
Looking back, I was really lucky. I don’t have any abilities that are particularly difficult to handle.
In most cases, titles support me like a passive thing, right? For the rest, just apply the item’s abilities.
So, Peary actually looked cool. As difficult as her talent is, it is not easy for her to face it.
“Yes…”
Peary slowly nodded her head. She looked so lethargic.
I scratched her head and said something.
“Are you okay. “We’re just getting used to it, right?”
There was no answer this time. I’m the only one getting annoyed like this.
Honestly, I was hesitant. I thought I would just get away like this.
‘If we continue like this, we will end up as a failure. That’s not good.’
When the original Rashu was trained by his mother, he would end the training after properly completing each technique and obstacle course.
If I left it unfinished, I could get used to it for the rest of my life.
Therefore, I also did not want to neglect Peary.
“Peary, it’s the same when I cook.”
“Cooking… ?”
Peary turns his head to me. Okay, my attention is back!
“Of course, since you’re a good cook, you could do everything at once! When it comes to difficult dishes, it’s difficult to succeed in one try. I think this is also cooking.”
“Getting used to your abilities… ?”
“Yes! Everyone makes mistakes and fails. “As long as you don’t repeat it again, it’s okay!”
He gave advice with sincerity. I hoped she wouldn’t sit down forever.
Because I don’t want to see that anymore.
Peary looked surprised at my advice. She barely woke up.
“Yes… I gained a little more confidence.”
“Great, then I’m glad!”
For no reason, strength went into her shoulders. Peary laughed for a moment and then threw down her horse.
“Lord Lashu, do you know? In fact, one of my lifelong dreams was to find someone worthy of respect.”
“Oh, what about the other one?”
In response to my question, Peary smiled faintly, as if reminiscing about the past.
“Having someone like my mother.”
Oh, this wasn’t difficult. There will be many women who will take your place.
“… My mom or Renata can help. Or other women, too.”
“You always save me? “Lord Lashu.”
I shook my head firmly.
“No, salvation is something you do yourself. Peary is a wonderful woman.”
“So, what do you think of this idea?”
I feel like I’ve gained real confidence. He gives his opinion right away.
Yeah, Peary likes this. Be strong and confident on the inside. She wondered what the idea would be.
“Idea?”
If the person concerned was willing to do something, it was a good sign.
She agreed to listen.
“What is it?”
“We’re going back to the situation we were in before. Before slimes became like that, hehe.”
“Is that possible?”
I’m not sure about this. Was that possible? There is no way that extensive time manipulation would be easy, right?
〈My man is right. As the scope expands, time and space will run wild like wild horses.〉
The goddess also expressed concern. Peary’s idea was novel, but it was a very difficult act.
But Peary was confident.
“There are no monsters now, so I’m not nervous. Wouldn’t it be possible to concentrate in this state and go into the past?”
“It must be dangerous.”
“I want to make up for my mistakes. Of course, it’s good to get help from someone, but I have to stand on my own, right?”
She showed her will. I just looked at Peary blankly and admired him.
Isn’t she a really strong woman? Even though he was a police officer, he was a girl on a different level from other people who couldn’t suppress criminals and only used Auto-K.
She nodded.
“Great! You have talent, so let’s do it!”
“Well, then let’s decide on an area first… It was good. Then let’s go!”
“Ikuyoot!”
[Time Manipulation – Reversion]
Jiying, ticktock! Oooh!
A transparent membrane formed around the periphery and began to expand in all directions.
The enclosed area itself slowly returned to the past.
I could see one piece of dust falling, going up upside down.
It was really amazing.
‘Wow, this is my first time seeing something like this.’
She was amazed, but at some point she fell forward.
Eh? Why am I like this? Consciousness is fading away!
No, my consciousness is moving away, but I am moving away from Peary. What?!
‘Uh? Why is my mind… ?’
＊＊＊
Peary thought she had turned back all the time and she grinned. It was the first time she had done something this big for herself. So she was proud.
The slime that died from the runaway earlier had returned to its original form and was approaching, writhing.
“Okay, okay? Uh… ?”
Peary, who wanted to be praised by Lashu, turned around and frowned. Lashu was nowhere to be seen.
I was embarrassed and looked around.
There was no Lashu anywhere.
“R-Rash? Hey? My lord! Where are you?”
Even during this, the slime steadily narrowed the distance between it and Peary. Peary stepped back, startled, and shook his head.
‘No, I can’t panic here. Let’s think about it. How to win!’
Peary looked around and grabbed a rock. Rather, the method may have been simple.
She glared at her slime, gripping her stone tightly.
[Time Manipulation – Acceleration]
She accelerated the stone and threw it with all her might. Peary is definitely an awakened person.
Even though she was a fragile woman, the accelerated stone flew at a speed close to subsonic.
Whoa, whoa!
She pierced the slime’s core in one go and killed it. Although she felt a little disappointed, Peary was happy.
“Me… Maybe he’s a genius?”
I was embarrassed and looked around. It seemed like Lashu would appear at any moment.
“My lord, are you going to continue hiding?”
She went back the way she came, just in case. No matter how hard she searched, she couldn’t find Rashu. As if she never existed to begin with.
It was strange. How can this happen?
‘What on earth is going on?’
Peary leaving the dungeon. Even though she didn’t make it to the end of the dungeon, it was still a good harvest.
As soon as she left, the background suddenly changed, and she was back in the manor house. In an instant.
“Uh… ?”
She couldn’t help but be embarrassed. She just came out of the dungeon, and she came to Weaverpool’s territory?
‘What, is this a mansion? Eh? Already? Me?’
As I looked around, a servant with a familiar face spoke to me.
“Oh, Peary. Are you taking a break?”
“Yes? Ah, yes… But do you know where your lord is?”
The servant furrowed his eyebrows as if he was asking something strange.
“My lord? That’s why he went out to subdue the heretics.”
“Yes… ? Are they pagans? “Didn’t you finish everything?”
“What are you talking about? Those who recite sins, is it possible for those cockroaches to disappear?”
The servant laughs and moves on. Then Peary’s complexion turned pale.
She hurried into the mansion. She looked closely at the servants and her maids.
‘No… !’
And I looked at the carpets, chandeliers, and sculptures that decorated the first floor of the mansion one by one.
‘No way… !’
Everything was the same as when Rao impersonated the lord.
It was ridiculous.
‘The time when Rao pretended to be a lord! How did this happen? Have we returned to the past? ‘Am I dreaming?’
Something unbelievable happened.
I tried to pinch my cheek to see if this was really real, but it only hurt.
It was a definite reality.
Tap, tap, tap!
Soon her horse’s hooves sounded loud, and the servant outside shouted.
“The lord is back!”
A chill running down my spine. The door opened, and Peary looked behind her.
She swallowed dry saliva and rolled her pupils.
Rao was walking there, wearing armor.
Everyone around him acted as if he was a lord. It was the effect of mental control.
Peary stiffened and finally lowered his head. She gritted her teeth, clutching her chest as she couldn’t calm down.
‘This is ridiculous, what is this? Why that guy? Where on earth are we? What happened to me?’
Doubt after doubt bit her tail. At that time, Raoh, who was passing by, stopped in front of her peery.
“Chief maid.”
“Yes, yes… ?”
She couldn’t make eye contact. She was afraid that she might get caught if she wasn’t under mental control.
“Would you like to come up later at night?”
“It’s night… ?”
“Why are you surprised? “My son, I need to comfort him.”
Rao smiles disgustingly as she finishes speaking. Her Peary’s eyes grew so big that they almost seemed like they would pop out. Her complexion became even paler.
She had to come back. To a past worse than a nightmare.
