Chapter 141 – Destiny.
Donar put on his gas mask as he was accustomed to and looked at the door while checking for any gaps in his body. It was only one door. It’s just a door that can be opened and closed as usual, but it was necessary to be prepared to open and enter that door. When he opened the door and entered the room, Usher was still lying on the bed, and Sif was next to him. Around the corner there was a catsy boy who was in the room with him because he was sick, but he didn’t look at it.
“Are you done with your work?”
“I’ve taken care of it as much as I can afford.”
After such a brief conversation with Sif, they were watching Usher, giving him medicine to lower his fever and washing his body.
“These days, I don’t feel like time flies because he’s gone.”
I started my day in a tumultuous way watching him train every morning and use evil words to become stronger somehow. It made a lot of sense to Donard, who now spent most of his time sitting down and filing paperwork.
“I will. I think I will wake up right now and find Belka.”
Usher, who had been making a fuss even for Sif, was lying around like this, so the quiet life now was even more unfamiliar. Maybe it’s because I came to a castle that’s too big.
“I’m worried about Belka too.”
“…Because it happened at a time like this.”
It’s already been a few days ago, but Pyalyar was still locked up in the dungeon awaiting execution. How surprised were they when they, who had fallen asleep that night in his mansion, were awakened by the girl and told of the near-mischief of Pyarjar? I still remember waking him up in the middle of the night crying, with the clothes I was wearing torn. As much as they trusted and relied on them, Donar felt a little joy even in the midst of confusion and anger.
That night, as soon as he heard her story to her girl, he took her incense in his room to check her facts and packed her evidence so that Pyallar could not escape. However, Usher still couldn’t wake up, so it was difficult to revitalize their daily lives. To them, Usher and Belka were enigmatic children who suddenly appeared one day. Obviously, it is a wilderness that is difficult to ride on horseback. Children who were in a place where even knights could die if they made a mistake.
“I wish I could get well soon.”
Meanwhile, Helena, who had stormed out of her herbalist’s shop, was running toward her castle, hugging her Belka. She couldn’t even use her umbrella properly and her clothes got wet, but she didn’t even bother with that. I feel like I’m going to miss the girl who can’t feel the weight of her even though I’m holding her in her arms like this.
“Breath, choking.”
It was only when she heard those words from her Belka that Helena realized that she had been holding her too tightly that she loosened her grip and stopped. They ran so frantically that they were already standing in front of the castle.
“Are you okay?”
Then she looked at the girl who was breathing heavily and asked. Although in that moment she realized what words would return.
“Yeah, I was just a little dizzy.”
Even though the complexion of the girl who said that was pale, and her small hand on her chest seldom came down, Belka let out a heavy breath as if it were nothing to her. Helena thought she resented the rain that didn’t stop today. If it hadn’t been for the obesity, I would have been able to identify what that dew was running down the girl’s cheek.
“Now drop me down.”
“But.”
“Because I’m really fine.”
In the end, Helena had no choice but to let go of such a girl. Belka, freed from her dance, walked off alone, staggering from her dizzy, fragile body. Helena couldn’t take her eyes off the girl, and she watched until she entered her room, then headed for Usher’s room.
“Belka fell down?!”
Helena’s words startled Sif. Her donar, who was next to her, was also looking at her as if surprised.
“Have you never had anything like that before?”
Helena asked, as it was not for those accustomed to this situation.
“Even though her body was a bit weak, she wasn’t such a downtrodden child.”
Helena listened to Sif’s words and thought about it, but she was worried about the condition of the girl who suddenly collapsed because they weren’t the ones who wouldn’t care about the child, but now was the time for her to check on Usher’s condition.
“If you don’t mind, would you mind looking after the lady?”
In her heart, Helena wanted to check her condition herself, but she knew. Now she knows that Belka needs Sif more than she does.
“Belka, are you inside?”
Sif knocked on Belka’s door and asked. Then the door opened with a click. Through the gap, her girlish gilt eyes were seen looking at her.
“Is it okay if I come in?”
When she asked again, Belka quietly withdrew from her door. Sif checked it out and opened the door to see a desolate room. Even though their situation is not that bad, it seems that they only bring in the things they really need. No matter how hectic he was, he should have paid more attention to Belka. Her Belka, who opened her door to her, sat on her bed, blankly as she did not know what she was thinking. Painful to see her like a lifeless doll, she approached and sat down beside her.
“What happened?”
At her question, Belka opened her mouth.
“Huh.”
The girl affirmed, but there was no response after that.
“Isn’t it hard to say?”
“…Huh.”
“What would you like us to do?”
At Sif’s calm question, Belka looked up at her with her swaying eyes, but bowed her head.
“Hug me.”
Really, if you want to rely on me, it would be nice if you could rely on me comfortably.
“…Because even a little bit is fine.”
She smiled bitterly, and Sif, without further delay, hugged her at her little addition to her girlish appearance. I hadn’t seen the girl smile properly lately. People seeing her for the first time might think that Belka has no facial expressions, but she knew that girls make more expressions than they thought. A girl who would be shy if she didn’t wear a mask when there were people she didn’t know, and if Sif wanted to do something, she would come up to her and stare blankly at him as if asking him to teach her.
Her cheeks, which turned bright red when praised for her admirable appearance, couldn’t help but be so cute. Even though she was obviously a quiet child, she was a child who kept getting attention. She makes her tea together when she and she are alone in her house. She was also seen munching on sweets bit by bit. Belka pretended she didn’t. She liked sweets the most, especially cookies. Then, when Usher came to visit her, she refused cookies and snooped across her house to the front door.
Like sugar that melts when fondant is dropped into tea. Like the scent of a flower that melts into the air and you wouldn’t know if you didn’t pay attention to it. Because Sif knew Belka who looked like the sunset. She just silently hugged each other and passed the time.
“♪”
He was wearing a robe humming his tune. He could not see because of the dark clouds, but he could see the approaching sunset by the color of the clouds. It was getting dark soon, and he was in a hurry to go out, even though he couldn’t tell even an inch ahead. It was then. The door of the herbalist he was staying at was violently opened.
“Hey, what makes you feel so good? Let’s know about that good thing together?”
And what came in was the gang who had quarreled with him earlier and ran away at the sight of Helena and the girl. As he stopped humming and looked at him quietly, they came towards him with a very funny stilted gait.
“Because I’ve seen you meeting that lady today? Can you guide me quickly when I say good things?”
“…”
Although they surrounded him and acted menacingly, unlike usual when he was easily frightened, he was just staring at them silently, wearing a robe and not moving, so they realized something was wrong. When they shut their mouths, only the sound of rain filled the silence of the herbal medicine cabinet, choking them. It’s been a while since I’ve been still with goosebumps creeping up from my toes.
“Mr. Kwak! Try twisting something! Take off that robe first because it’s in a bad mood!”
It was when he grabbed the robe he was putting on and tried to take it off, as if it was his mood, he felt bad watching them in the pitch-black darkness under his robe.
“Hah? Look at him?”
The hand that came out of the robe grabbed the hand that was trying to take off the robe. His hand was wrapped in an old bandage, leaving no skin exposed, but it was hard and cold as stone.
“I haven’t hit you lately, so I guess you’ve become easygoing? Let go of this?”
Then he tried to free his hand, but belatedly realized that something was wrong.
“Let go!”
Even as he said that, he tried to free his own hand, but his hand didn’t budge. It was as if a solid rock had moved on its own to grab him and hold him in place. Realizing that, the sensations I had been denying until now came to mind again. The alarm bell ringing terribly in the head and the creepy feeling stimulating the whole body were all instinctive warnings that one’s life was in danger.
But he couldn’t be more foolish than that. The opponent was not anyone else, but Alvis, who was famous for being weak and lacking in the neighborhood. It made me even more angry and hurt my pride that I felt this way from such an insignificant guy.
“I told you to let go!”
It was when he forgot what the fact that his hand wouldn’t come off meant and tried to hit Alvis with his other arm. What did he mumble?
“‘Nauties'”
Just by hearing it, a creepy low-pitched voice weighs down on a person.
“What are you talking about…!”
But that wasn’t the end.
“Keep, woo!”
The senses in his whole body were running out of control, and the pain, like being stabbed with a needle, came to him. He rolled his eyes at the unbearable pain and passed out.
“What, what?”
“Hey! Don’t play around and wake up!”
Those who visited Alvis with him were grabbed by the hand, and when the man in the robe muttered something, the whole body trembled in pain and was surprised to see him roll over his eyes and pass out, but they thought it was his joke, but the reality did not change. . Most of all, it didn’t make any more sense that she was tired of not being able to cover up her poop and urine as a joke.
“Really, they’re quite a few guys.”
They didn’t know what he had done, but they realized that they were definitely wrong when he saw him defeat the guy who was no different from their leader, then let go of his wrist and throw it on the ground like throwing away garbage.
“You, what are you?! Who are you?”
They regretted why they thought he was Alvis just because he was at the herbalist. Because that robe is similar to the one Alvis wore? Or is Alvis the only one here at this hour? But at least he wasn’t the Alvis they knew. However, the voice suddenly heard from within the robe was enough to make them freeze.
“What are you talking about? You guys.”
Because that voice belonged to Alvis. But they knew. It’s Alvis’ voice, but it’s not Alvis’ voice.
“When will I accuse you of having a relationship like that with the lady?”
“Hey.”
It was Alvis’ voice as usual, but now it gave me more goosebumps. The other one tried to run out of the store screaming unsightly at the fact that the voice was coming from the darkness of the robe.
“‘Pay hew'”
“Bye?! Turn it off!?”
Once again, he muttered in a creepy voice, and I saw that the guy who was trying to run away stiffened and tried to move somehow, but stopped as it was. It’s like being caught by something huge. He was the last one left in that state, unable to do anything and trembling. The teeth had no intention of stopping the crash, and the wobbly legs seemed to be released at any moment. He couldn’t do this or that and had to watch the darkness in the robe approaching right in front of him.
“So what did you say you came for?”
“Sah, save me…!”
“Wrong. It’s pitiful that you don’t even remember what you were trying to do.”
A cold hand wrapped in a bandage began to approach his face, and in the end, all that was left in front of his eyes was pitch black darkness.
