Chapter 414 – Where Lightning Grazed.
Reuben was wandering around in a carefree mood, looking at the people who had arrived on the island this time. Yes, Usher was among the people who went to rescue them, and Erica followed. Seeing people come like this, of course she must be there too. Then she finally found a familiar boy.
‘That guy.’
He still looked like a woman to be mistaken for a stranger, but Reuben already knew he was a man. He didn’t know why he was fighting a paladin, but he thought that if there was that guy, Erica would be there as well, so he looked for it.
‘Why can’t I see it?’
The fight ended and Usher sat down, but the girl didn’t appear. Instead, a maid comes to check on him. Reuben became anxious. Because the girl who should have appeared by now didn’t appear no matter how much I waited.
‘No way…’
A thought passed through his head for a moment. Usher was clearly going to rescue people with the Paladins. I wasn’t sure how great the wizard was, but I could guess that it wouldn’t be easy.
‘No. I don’t think so.’
Because of this, Reuben wanted to run to Usher right now and ask where Erica was, so he grabbed his feet as he was about to run out. Instead, he started running between the newly arrived wagons to find the girl himself.
People stared at the scene of Reuben running among them out of nowhere, but there was no time to pay attention to his gaze. Nevertheless, it was a time when Reuben’s anxiety about the girl who couldn’t even see a single strand of his hair was increasing instead of diminishing.
“Hey! What are you? Do you run around with other people’s wagons?”
Tak, he turned around to see a hand grabbing his shoulder, and a boy his age was holding him. He had a disapproving look on his face as if he was annoyed with him constantly wandering around between them, but he grabbed his shoulder with the hope that it would be better.
“Girl!”
“Uh, huh?”
“Didn’t you see a girl like this?!”
The boy seemed taken aback by the sudden action, but when he spoke urgently while explaining Erica’s appearance, she asked the boy accompanying her with a subtle look on her face.
“Logan, have you ever seen a kid like that?”
“No, if there was a kid like that, it wouldn’t have been a fuss since the rumors had already spread?”
However, they only shook their heads, so Reuben had no choice but to build a futile look. He already did what he was vaguely expecting. He thought maybe he should.
“Why are you like this?”
He asked what his face looked like and if the boy who had held him felt any abnormalities, but the voice seemed distant. Even when I was in their procession, word about Erica spread quickly.
She was such a beautiful girl that it was all the more strange that rumors didn’t spread. Even so, she couldn’t even hear her gossip, let alone her eyewitness accounts of her. As if she had never seen anyone else Erica before.
When you think about it, it was a natural story. At first glance, even the elite rescue team made up of paladins made up their minds to die. In such a place, could a girl who was so tender that she would break even if he reached out and grasped it?
Is there any guarantee that Erica will definitely come back alive in such a place?
“Hey! Where are you going?!”
“Why is he like that?”
When he came to his senses, Reuben had already shaken off the guys who had grabbed him and was running somewhere. He didn’t even know where he was going. Just as if burning his head and heart violently, hot emotions and instincts were moving his body.
Eventually, Reuben reached the place where he saw Usher. He was still running. Did you hear that? He met the boy’s eyes as he turned his head towards him, and he delivered a drop kick at the same speed as he was running.
– Bahak!
“Oops?!”
In the sudden situation, Usher couldn’t block his kick and fell after being hit in the chest by him. Reuben jumped straight at him and tried to swing his fist.
“Stop. What are you doing?”
Helena grabbed his wrist and thrust her dagger into her throat, forcing her to stop.
“Big, Kelok Kelok!”
“Usher! Are you okay?”
Nausicaa was also surprised and looked at Usher, so Reuben kicked him, rekindling the feelings that had cooled down a little.
“Where’s Erica?!”
She was a girl who could not be obtained no matter how much he courted and gave everything.
“Where did you leave Erika and why did you come alone?!”
The guy she loved came back casually and was fussing around among the women.
“You said you couldn’t protect it! You said you’d soon forget! Why did you date? Why!?”
She felt that if she didn’t hit him even a little, she wouldn’t be able to control the burning pain in her chest.
“Who forgot?”
“What?”
What returned to him was Usher’s cold voice.
“With what qualifications…!”
Are you that proud? The moment Reuben was about to ask. Usher looked up and shut her mouth at the eyes that met. Usher’s eyes were burning fiercely as the fuel was fueled by the sadness and pain he had never seen before being swallowed up by his own emotions.
– Perok!
“Big?!”
Because of this, the moment Reuben hardened, his fist flew and crushed his face. Reuben came to his senses from the pain and tried to fight back, but she couldn’t.
– Bahak!
Then he was kicked in the foot by Usher and fell. He felt the guy on top of him and tried to shake his fist to shake it off.
“What are you?”
“Oops?!”
Before that, Usher’s fist hit Reuben in the face. He swings his fist again and tries to strike the guy, but his own fist only stirs the air.
“Who are you to talk like you know everything I think?!”
Even though he looks like a girl, it is difficult to come to his senses as each fist thrust into his face is heavy and sharp, forcibly turning his head. Eventually, he gave up trying to shake his fist and covered his face with his arm.
‘This guy, if you look at it!’
What Reuben immediately thought of was Usher, who unilaterally cut down Gigantopithecus, which was much bigger than himself. Even though it was just one, it was easy to slaughter a monster that even adults are often at a loss for.
‘But if I don’t hit this guy one more time!’
He belatedly realized that he wasn’t someone worth fighting for, but he liked Reuben anyway. He couldn’t even protect Erica properly, and he didn’t want to see her acting like a braggart.
“Why are you interfering with me and Erika!?”
‘That’s right, I’m Erica’s…!’
Reuben tried to shout in response to Usher’s words on the way to being hit in the face, but he was scattered without becoming a voice.
‘We’re breaking up now♪’
It was because I heard Erica’s voice like that in my ears. The shackles that had even slightly linked his relationship with the girl no longer existed for Reuben.
“What are you doing interfering with me and Erica?!”
Who is the most undeserving here and now? In the end, he forgot to resist and was beaten by Usher.
“…I didn’t even need help.”
Carlos was speechless as he watched Usher unilaterally beat up Reuben.
“Are you just a paladin? Or did you really fall in love?”
“Oh, don’t say that! Didn’t you also hear that he was a man?”
“Keuk keuk, I also thought you might have come to like men.”
He sighed at Logan’s words teasing him.
“What is it, really?”
“Oh, it’s not like that!”
Carlos saw Usher beating Reuben again, denying his friend’s words.
‘Why do you have to be a man?’
While he kept beating Reuben, he watched Usher, who looked like he was about to burst into tears, and moved on to another place.
-Smart
That night, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is this?”
A voice that seems to hesitate for a moment at the woman’s question.
“I heard that you can get medicine here.”
“Ah~ is that so? Come right in.”
Quickly, the door was opened and the one who entered was a woman hiding in a deep robe. She looked at the landlord for a moment and trembled.
“…Mermaid?”
After all, she was a mermaid with impressive blue scales and dark blue hair.
“That’s right, call me Priyazen.”
Priyazen didn’t care about her reaction, as if he was used to it.
“Since no one is coming and the door is locked. You can take off the robe.”
When the woman hears Priyazen’s words and takes off her robe, what is revealed is her pink hair and her maid’s uniform. Her true identity was Helena.
“So what kind of medicine are you looking for? There are various kinds.”
“Do you have any birth control pills for monsters?”
At her words, Priyazen’s hand, which was searching for her medicine, stopped. She then looked back at Helena, frowning.
“…When did you get hurt?”
“Around lunchtime, it must have been.”
At that, Priyazen let out a deep sigh as if relieved.
“Looks like he’s not even an ordinary person. Don’t you know?”
“I thought maybe it was in this area.”
“Wouldn’t that be the same there?”
If the method wasn’t different, Helena knew too. There is only one way not to get pregnant with monster offspring.
“You mean you have to mate with a man.”
She had to accept exactly the same human affection.
