Chapter 126 – Nemesis (6)
From that day on, the frequency of spending time with Ea increased.
I went to visit her whenever I had time for her, so this is a deserved result for her.
I never thought I would have such a close relationship with the girl I was trying to kill.
It is an instrumental year.
That day, too, I was in Ea’s hut.
I didn’t come here with my bare hands.
He brought a basket full of food.
When you visit someone else’s house, wouldn’t it be better to bring a decent gift with you?
Ea let me into the house with the nuance of “I’m sorry, but she can’t help it if she brought groceries.”
It was a material strategy.
I put the basket on the table and sat down on a chair and started talking.
“I’ve been wondering before, how did you get the bruise on that cheek?”
Ea’s cheeks were as red as balsam.
There was a clear difference between the red and the red.
To put it mildly, it was a cheek that was swollen red from being hit by someone.
Ea gave a lukewarm response to my question.
“Why are you pretending to care about a subject you are not even interested in?”
It was a harsh answer, but it was also true.
This was nothing more than a formal question to open up her conversation with her.
“If you don’t talk to me like this, you will continue to eat only bread, Mr. Ea.”
“Chit.”
It was Ea who kept her mouth shut.
Then she took the bread I brought with her left hand and took a bite.
It cooled down and became hard, but since it’s of good enough quality to eat, there won’t be any regretful sounds.
Indeed, she ate the bread with her eyes shining.
I watched it leisurely.
“Look. If you only eat bread like that, won’t I get bored?”
“Do I have an obligation to satisfy your deepest desires?”
“Aren’t you paying your own tribute?”
“Writing difficult words.”
“Because I was born in a wealthy family, I learn a lot.”
“Good job, San.”
“It feels good to hear that compliments from Mr. Ea, who is stingy with compliments.”
Her black irises stared blankly at me.
“You’re stupid? It’s just a mockery no matter who hears it.”
“I don’t know how to read thoughts like anyone else, so I have no way of knowing.”
“There is such a thing as atmosphere, such as facial expression and tone.”
I tilted my head.
It was because she seemed dissatisfied.
“Is this something that should be considered?”
It was Ea who turned her head with heung, wondering if my flat reaction was okay.
“… Okay, I want some bread.”
I chattered beside her while she ate.
Most of them were about what happened in the village.
The town I live in isn’t that big, so even the incidents were minor.
It’s trivial stuff that any villager would know.
Ea, who had been silently listening to my story while eating bread, opened her mouth.
“Yes, Ronin. There is nothing good about talking too much.”
It was something an old man would say.
At least it’s not something a child would say.
I was intrigued by her words and continued her words.
“But I would like to speak with you.”
Warak.
It was Ea whose face was distorted.
She sighed and replied as if her energy was draining.
“No, I will eat the bread. So don’t disturb me.”
“Is it because you are hungry?”
“That’s true, but food should be eaten while it’s still warm.”
“Isn’t that what you were supposed to do?”
As I continued to ask, Ea wrinkled her forehead, perhaps a little angry.
“Do not talk to me. You don’t even touch the dog when you eat.”
“Dogs try to bite with their sharp fangs, so they don’t touch them.”
“Hey, can I ask you too?”
Ea opened her mouth, revealing her straight teeth.
She bites her la
There was me who thought it was a rather attractive proposition.
So I raised my arms and asked.
“Would you like to?”
“… Done.”
It was Ea who hated it because I showed a reaction that I was rather happy.
After her brief bite, she patted her feet on the table.
Kikkik, Kikkik.
The wooden chair on which Ea sat swayed, creating a precarious angle with her ground.
It looks like it will fall over there.
“Hey, idiot.”
It didn’t take me long to realize that the title was referring to me.
She slowly turned her head to face her Ea.
“Yes, why are you calling me?”
“I’m not your understanding, and I don’t want to sympathize with your impure thoughts.”
It was an out of the blue, but it wasn’t something that didn’t make any sense at all.
I hoped that she would understand me and sympathize with my thoughts.
Isn’t he the only person who knew the secret feelings I’ve been hiding all along.
I thought it was a waste to simply kill him.
A girl named Ea was in the process of being reborn as a special being to me in many ways.
Is that why?
I didn’t like her denial remarks like that.
“I didn’t say anything about it.”
It was a somewhat rough tone, but Ea did not make it a problem.
She pointed her eyes at her wordlessly.
Black eyes like obsidian.
According to Ea, she seems to express the inner feelings of others in words.
That’s why she found out about my plans.
It’s the eyes that see other people’s hearts.
She seems to be a girl who is very much loved by God.
No, if she was loved by God, she wouldn’t be an orphan.
Anyway, to put her behavior in plain sight, she points to her own eyes.
‘Anyway, everything inside was revealed, so don’t get out of the way.’
I thought that reading minds must be quite absurd.
I smiled naturally.
“You refuse so much, so don’t you want to push harder?”
“Ugh, gross. Do you really want to turn it off?”
At the same time, her words were Ea, who did not cut them off very coldly.
Could it be that she has been alone for a long time and is feeling her loneliness?
Since he was speculating on his own, a violent reaction erupted from Ea’s side.
“Not at all. And don’t guess on your own, it sucks.”
“… What do you mean when you think that way? You can’t intentionally stop thinking, can you?”
“So get out of here, or hang yourself over there and search.”
It was Ea who slapped her on the back of her arm and raised her middle finger.
She’s a hard-faced she.
She thought she might need a moment to cool her head.
It wouldn’t be right to touch her angry beehive right away.
She’d better wait until she calms down and then talk to her again.
Of course, she knew about my accident.
That’s why it’s a very dissatisfied face.
“Are you really not going to say anything? I read your thoughts anyway.”
Shall we leave this building for a while?
“… All right, and don’t try to communicate with your thoughts. Strange, that.”
I like this because it’s comfortable.
“It sounds like you’re talking to yourself that I’m weird.”
I was quite surprised by her reaction.
Was it surprising that I wasn’t unpleasant to talk to?
It’s good news, but since I decided to give it some time, I decided to wait calmly.
There was silence for an awkwardly long time.
As the sun finally went down, Ea could not stand it and opened his mouth.
“You don’t know much about it anyway.”
I opened my closed mouth.
“What do you mean?”
She pointed to her cheek.
“Why did this wound form?”
“I don’t know at all, so maybe I asked.”
“… It’s a shameless subject to guess.”
Oops, I wanted to.
It’s a lie that comes out of habit even though she knows that her lies are useless in front of her.
Fortunately, she was not very offended by my lies.
“You’re right.”
That’s right.
A word so light as to be cool.
But the weight of that word is never light.
To whom?
Will anyone hit her before then?
No one would have had a relationship like that.
To be honest, she didn’t get along with anyone except me.
It’s not that I’m trying to kill Ea for nothing.
“You are thinking rudely.”
Oops, I forgot for a moment that she reads my thoughts.
I calmed down my surprised expression and changed the subject.
“Why did you get hit?”
It seems that Ea didn’t even want to dig deeper into her shallow human relationship.
He glared at me once with sharp eyes like a hawk, and then collapsed onto the bed.
“I did the right thing, so it must have been right.”
It was a very rude attitude.
It was a topic I didn’t want to talk about very much.
Did I ask this for nothing?
As I closed her mouth, suddenly she burst into laughter.
It was an out of the blue laugh, far from a hearty laugh.
To put it mildly, it was ridicule mixed with sarcasm.
“Are you also considerate?”
No, it was just sarcastic.
I closed my mouth.
I can’t stop thinking about it though.
My reaction made the girl’s smile grow thicker.
“I don’t know what to do. Why do you even feel remorse for trying to kill me?”
“I have never felt anything like it.”
“I mean, everyone does it, but the inside is different.”
It felt like being caught up in her pace.
I shook my head swiftly.
In this case, it is a frontal breakthrough.
“Ah Mr. Do you want me to ask you why?”
Ea’s black eyes widened.
Is there something behind me?
I looked behind me, but all I could see was a simple wall made of planks.
She said in a small whisper.
“… Eh, did I want that?”
Where is the person who asks himself that?
I frowned at her cryptic attitude.
Certainly, I was very young at this time.
I couldn’t hide my expression completely.
“Don’t be vague and be clear.”
“Oh, shut up! Do you want to keep matching your thoughts and words? You’re confusing me.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“I didn’t mean to ask you to understand. I’ll tell you why.”
I decided to keep my mouth shut.
It’s better to hear someone’s story than to talk about hurting yourself.
“Am I an orphan?”
It was a high-level statement.
I hit the ball for once.
“Yes.”
“You don’t have to put in a chuimsae that doesn’t work.”
“…”
“It’s such a barren world to live in alone.”
That word will be used in any era.
In terms of age, would you say you’re about 12 or 13 years old?
Even boys are at an age where it is difficult to find a decent job.
Not even worth mentioning if it’s a girl.
“Still, since I can read other people’s thoughts, I was able to use some tricks.”
She didn’t mind doing all kinds of menial work to get her daily bread.
Pickpockets, swindlers, scams and gambling, stories that were too far apart to come out of a child’s mouth flowed out.
“But reading other people’s thoughts doesn’t solve everything. Because I was the only one who was bizarrely lucky, I was envied. This cheek is the result, say a witch or something.”
“… Wouldn’t it be dangerous to be involved with that?”
Ea put on an expression that was absurd.
“I can’t do anything to live.”
The words that came out of the mouth of a child without a fence called parents were very realistic.
“But why are you telling me this?”
She was Ea with a taken aback look, but she quickly corrected it.
“… I guess I’m tired too Since I worked hard on my own, I also complain to idiots like you.”
“There is nothing I can’t listen to.”
She glanced at me with an understandable look.
“You should be your understanding instead. I hate that.”
“I don’t think it is difficult.”
“Because I don’t like it. I don’t even know myself, how can I understand you?”
“Why don’t you try it once and then tell me?”
Ea squinted her eyes and smiled.
“It’s obvious if you don’t see it, kid.”
Ea.
She is an orphan
She was neither special nor special.
A girl who is not good at anything except that she can read minds.
Why is she looking at her like that?
Now that I think about it, I wonder if she was fascinated by the light she radiated.
Because the brilliance she possessed was something that the ordinary me did not have.
Originally, people long for what they don’t have.
So I must have envied Ea.
As always.
Fun times are short.
The case came
