Chapter 405 – Film.K
“Awesome.”
It was the murmur of Nausicaa, a harpy girl watching the match between Martin and Sheeta in a corner of the arena. She was not alone in her thoughts. There was no spectator who couldn’t admire the sight of Sheeta’s desperate bloody battle that didn’t spare her body, and even felt the beauty of it.
“Can I be like that sister?”
Therefore, it was natural for her to admire her.
“It’s cool, but you’re going crazy to die.”
Except for one person, Krikaliev.
“Huh? Why? Don’t they fight very well?”
“You still haven’t figured it out? I think I need to increase the intensity of my training.”
When Nausicaa questioned her question, she was taken aback by his disapproving words.
“Why is the story like that?!”
“That’s what I’m curious about too.”
Then, when I turned around at the unfamiliar voice that intervened in the story, a woman wearing her hood was staring at them.
“Why? Are you interested in training my kid?”
“Oh! Seriously! I’m not talking about what you said about that sister!”
Nausicaa asked if she wanted the opportunity then, and she accepted her will and spoke. It was obvious that she was somehow trying to change the subject of the story, but she was so obvious that she was cute.
“Nyahaha, that’s right. Isn’t that enough to fight really well?”
“Hmm.”
Asking with a smile whether it was the same with the unfamiliar woman. Krikaliev, who had received her question, glanced through her old cloth at the man sitting next to her, dressed the same as her, with his hood pulled down on her, and nodded.
“Well, there’s nothing to lose.”
As if he had lost interest, he turned his head back to the inside of the arena and spoke lightly enough for them to hear.
“That’s a fight that only exists when a woman knows that a man can’t take care of herself.”
“How?”
When Nausicaa asked again, Krikaliev clicked his tongue in a pitiful way.
“Are you learning windows but can’t even read windows paths?”
“Profit! Who in the world said that you could know such a thing in detail from so far away?”
“You should be able to see about 600m with spirit!”
“It has nothing to do with spirit!”
As the woman watched them arguing with amusement, she rather opened her mouth as if the man next to her could not hold back his doubts.
“Then how do you think Sheeta can fight Martin?”
“Of course, that guy is always fighting to get a woman named Sheeta.”
According to his own experience, the participants in the Silver Tournament fought him with all their might, and Martin was no different. He seemed particularly desperate.
“That means you want that woman.”
“Did you enter the wrong tournament and almost get married?”
“Noisy man! Rumor has it that you can get a lot of money if you win, so I participated, but what about money!”
Krikaliev’s murmurings made it clear that they had mistaken the table for a bet on which warrior would win.
“Anyway, that guy can never hurt Sheeta.”
“…No way.”
The man who heard his words muttered as if realizing it while watching the game with concentration.
“George? Why are you doing that?”
When the woman questioned the appearance of her party, he nodded her head.
“I think you know what you’re talking about. Sheeta is deliberately throwing her body at Martin’s spear.”
“What?!”
The woman was shocked and watched the game again. After hearing her words, she noticed something strange in her eyes, albeit little by little. Weapons moving at bizarrely fast speeds and fierce battles that take place at a distance where each other’s noses or bodies barely touch each other are like breathtaking stunts if you don’t know the whole story.
However, the reality was close to a suicide under the guise of Sheeta’s physical charge and a spear chase to avoid it. In the meantime, Sheeta’s sword was aiming at Martin, so it seemed like a more spectacular battle.
“Shrewd woman. If her Martin hadn’t been a little less skillful, one of them would surely have died.”
“Oh my God. How could that be…”
The woman opened her mouth while Nausicaa, who learned of her circumstances, was covering her mouth.
“That’s right, because from before, Sita didn’t want to marry her.”
For some reason, I didn’t know the details of the situation, but she and her close relatives understood Sheeta’s thoughts to some extent.
“You don’t even want to hide it anymore, do you?”
“What are you talking about?”
The woman smiled bitterly at the appearance of the harpy girl, who did not understand what Krikaliev said in her plaintive voice and only raised a question mark above her head. Bare her ears.
“Ka, Catsy?”
Nausicaa barely knew her identity and opened her wide-eyed eyes.
“Sorry for the late introduction. My name is Lenny Nyan.”
Lenny was a member of the royal family, especially a collateral. That’s why she knew the inside story of this tournament. That’s because the first person the Sheeta family asked for help was Aison, the king of Parz. Still, the Caitsies value bloodlines, but with the death of the queen and the disappearance of the crown prince, they had to somehow bring up the stagnant atmosphere of Parz.
“That means was a tournament where Sheeta’s marriage was staked.”
Anyway, the Cat Siths were confident that their warriors would win if the tournament was held, so they increased the size and wind catcher of the tournament regardless. In other words, this tournament was just a show that took place with the Cat Sis in mind from the beginning.
“You appeared.”
He has the ability to lightly defeat the warriors who appear out of nowhere, even the proud warriors of the Cattsy, who are called combatants. His presence, which had never been heard of, made the people who wanted to win money by betting tickets with the Cattsy go crazy.
Even to the point of surrendering out of the blue at the end.
“So you came to ask who hired you?”
“That’s right. I wondered if some group hired them to manipulate the game and create the picture they wanted.”
“Oh, no! My uncle is not like that! Not at all…!”
The person concerned was calm, but Lenny laughed again when he saw Nausicaa waving her hands in confusion.
“I know that enough, so don’t worry.”
“I can’t believe it was because I really didn’t like the winning prize.”
George, a member of her party, was even more embarrassed because he strongly insisted that someone hired them.
“If you’re dissatisfied, make sure to make a prior notice to the outskirts as well.”
“Ha, be careful.”
George cupped her forehead tiredly. Yes, the advance notice of the tournament was the responsibility of guards like him.
“So Nausicaa. Look closely at that figure. Admiring it is the same as saying that you will turn away from the other person’s pain.”
The match eventually came to an end as Martin, who seemed to have made up his mind, dropped his weapons and overpowered Sheeta.
That was their first meeting.
“So, how long are you going to be roaming around me?”
A night when the hot sun has gone and the moonlight has risen brightly. Nausicaa was already asleep, and since Lenny and George were separated, Krikaliev was standing alone in front of his house, welcoming an unexpected guest.
“Did you know?”
And the one who raised his feet on the white stage of Parz bathed in the moonlight was a strange harpy with a bird’s head blowing red feathers in the wind.
“I was wondering if there was someone I’ve been chasing lately. Was it you? Gideon?”
Haha. Seeing that you even know the name, I guess I wasn’t mistaken.”
Pudeuk! At the same time as his beak leaked a gnashing sound, Gideon charged at Krikaliev.
“Why are you still alive? You must have died together with Bargazzet!?”
“Huh. It’s strange that you’re asking that now. It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”
Kaaang! The sound of steel echoing through the night. Some of the residents might have woken up at the sound of iron against iron and blade against blade, but no one had the courage to come out. The one night duel was like that.
Without anyone wanting to know. No one remembers The noise buried in silence, hoping that everyone would pass by pretending not to know. No matter who was the winner, the loser’s blood would seep into the ground and the white daily life would continue without anyone knowing who was buried there.
“Hey! Why?! Why are you? His daughter. Are you taking the princess with you?”
However, the duel ended not too long after, but the conversation continued.
“Ahh, there are a lot of things I’m curious about. I vaguely heard the news. You’re not the same as before.”
“…Why? Was it not enough for you to take his life?
Despite Krikaliev’s words, Gideon knelt down and held his white sand in his hand, unable to hide his resentment and thumping! He hit the floor several times.
“Why did you take his daughter…”
“Let’s be honest. You guys didn’t even treat Nausicaa as a princess in the first place, right?”
“That.”
He shook his head as he watched Gideon shut his mouth.
“Most of all, there are too many excuses. Baby. If I had lost myself, you shouldn’t blame me, but I should have polished themselves more.”
Gideon opened and closed his mouth a few times as if searching for something to say to him, but he couldn’t make it into a voice before he shut it.
“In the past, Bargazzet led the harpies. But what do you think of you as the heir?”
“…”
After hearing his words, Gideon was able to look at himself. The red feathers he was so proud of were not enough to come out sparsely, and they were broken here and there, making it unsightly. Isn’t even the hand holding his weapon trembling with weakness?
“You’re not crippled. Your wings are fine. But are you going to settle for the past and fall?”
“What are you saying!? Me! If he hadn’t led me, I would…!”
“It must still be Gideon.”
“!”
He stiffened at Krikaliev’s nonchalant reply.
“At least you should have known the answer in the past. Admiration really makes people blind.”
The reflection of his back in Gideon’s eyes was not as great as it had been in his memory.
“Then I have work tomorrow, so I’ll go.”
