Chapter 157 – Liquidation (6)
19. Liquidation (6)
Close to close-
The two horses leading the carriage were moving steadily along at a speed faster than a man could walk. The continuous sound of horses hooves was very regular, and it was also the main factor that accelerated the calm and boredom to the listener. However, the person sitting in the driver’s seat was no ordinary person.
‘Raella. Can’t you hear me?’
Raella was holding the reins and staring blankly in front of her. She spoke to the original Raella to tell her current situation, but she didn’t hear back. She assumes that if she was watching her, of course she would know, but it was different from talking to her directly to confirm.
She had no way of knowing if the original La Ella was wrong, or if she simply wasn’t hearing her prayers. Even though Raella was one of the gods who took care of her followers the most, she was acutely aware of how frustrating and pitiful they must have felt when she was trapped in a mortal body.
‘If I go to my child’s hometown, it will somehow stimulate his spirit, then…’
Another wound forms before the wound heals, and another wound forms before the wound heals. The place that had been hurt dozens or hundreds of times like that had become a crevasse that could never be erased.
He says that he is living a happier life than ever after meeting Hendrick, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a scar. The bandage called patience over the scar, the mask called self-defense, was covered by the dress called happiness.
With Kaya reverted to her primordial form, Raela wanted to heal her oldest scar before she awoke.
“Stop!”
“Stop there!”
“Fuck you to stop! Aren’t words like words?”
“Yes… ?”
It was a very secluded road, but suddenly there were people blocking the road and pampering themselves. Raela stayed still, wondering what the hell this was all about, but to those who got in her way, it seemed like she was ignoring them.
They drew their bows and drew their swords. At first glance, it was crudely armed, but it was enough to kill a woman. Outwardly.
At first, Raella’s eyes, which had been watching quietly to see why they were blocking the road, became sharper for an instant as they pulled out her weapon.
“La Ella. What happened…”
“Go in.”
“Yes? But I think I heard something earlier.”
“Go in, stay. You seem very tired.”
“Yes, yes.”
Two of the three people in the carriage were dozing off, perhaps tired from the sudden preparations for the trip, and Hendrick, the only one who was awake, was also half-asleep, so he couldn’t grasp the situation properly. I tried to figure it out by coming out on the way, but I was crushed by Raella’s momentum and went back inside.
Close-
“Right. Even if you’re scared, be patient for a little while. Can’t we run away?”
Purr-
Raella calmly stopped her carriage and stroked her horses. Her obstructors huffed at each other as the carriage pulled to a complete stop, but became displeased again when the supposed coachman was so unconcerned and weak.
“Hey! Coachman! You! Everything you have right now…”
“Is this your first time?”
“What?”
“I asked if this was your first time.”
Raella asked casually.
“What kind of shit are you talking about? What else are you talking about? If you don’t want to eat knife rice, get out of here!”
“Think of it as mercy for stopping quietly!”
“How long in the fuck have you been in the carriage? Hehe. Even if it’s just two horses…”
“Isn’t this the first time?”
“What are you talking about, you bastard… ?”
La Ella took off her hood. Then, all the people who interrupted her, who had been spitting out double curses, opened her mouth blankly in unison. There were also those who drool.
“Your eyes are full of wrong desires.”
La Ella spread her right hand. Then a huge mace appeared out of the air, and she landed precisely in her right hand, while a two-handed book landed in her left.
“Sometime.”
Then the book opened and the writing was written on its own. As Raella’s eyes scanned the letters, her voice gradually sank.
“32 attempted robberies, 12 property damages, 10 human trafficking, 14 rapes, 13 murders. No repentance attempts. Room for reflection… There is none.”
Tup-
At the sound of the book closing, the thieves who disturbed them shuddered.
“I don’t know why these heinous things are openly active…”
As La Ella, who threw her book into the air, took a step forward with her mace, the thieves who had been hardened all at once retreated. Raella’s fine eyebrows furrowed.
“Stop.”
“That…”
“Shut up.”
“… !”
Raella’s words contained power. She treated Hendrick and his comrades with as little presence as possible and treated them gently, but the thieves in front of her did not need such consideration at all. Although she was only a fragment fused to a mortal, she was a goddess.
While she extends her warm tenderness to anyone, this goddess she is intolerant of. She just decided that she would not tolerate them.
She was heartbroken that more than a dozen people who deserved her benevolence were killed or devastated by them. The situation itself, which caused the bandits in front of her to act like that, was also heartbreaking. Her benevolent heart briefly took over the circumstances of the thieves, but she never overturned her decision.
Warm kindness and cool generosity.
Raella lightly swung her right arm with her mace from right to left.
Single blow.
The thieves, who had a fairly high bounty, had their entire upper body blown away by that blow. All without missing one.
“Shhhhh… Not nice Sorry to show you something scary. Can you move again?”
Purr…
The carriage moved at the same speed as before, as if nothing had happened. So did the coachman leading the horses, and those who were dozing in the carriage were still dozing.
Only the corpses, with only the lower half of the body remaining, stood firm like the pillars of a monastery.

It was the first time I had planned a trip, but it was the first time I had left Salem. She was both excited and scared. The former was a curiosity about what it would be like outside of Salem, and the latter was a curiosity about whether the person who dropped me here would leave me alone.
To sum it up, both of them were ignorant. There was nothing more to see in this world than I thought. There were few people and the level of civilization was also so. I didn’t expect too much in the first place, but I felt that Salem was a city that was bizarrely underdeveloped. And there were no restrictions on getting out of Salem, the narrow setting of The Long Terror. It was to the point of nonsense.
‘It’s not a nice world to live in… To the point where I wouldn’t even look at them if it weren’t for my girls.’
Kaya’s hometown was quite far from Salem. She said that the nearest estate to her hometown would take about two weeks from Salem, and she said that even there she would have to go a few more days.
Because of that, what we were left with was an absurd amount of time, and I, who was initially worried about the corps of warriors and the dungeon, soon threw it away and had pleasant delusions.
The ‘delusion of life on the modern earth’ that I am doing now was like that.
– Sorry… The house is too small…
– It’s okay. It’s nice to be able to stick closer.
– If we do well, can’t we all sleep together?
– On that narrow bed?
– If the captain holds two people tightly with both arms, and the other one rides on the captain’s body…
A delusion was a delusion because it was okay to be a sham. Defeat all the dungeons and transfer to the studio where I lived. When four armed men enter the already small room, it immediately feels cramped. As the owner of the room, I am sorry that the room is worse than the inn, but they rather comfort me.
– Captain, how about the water…
– Ah. You can do it like this. And this is shampoo, so you can use it to wash your hair, face here as a foam cleanser, and body as a body wash…
– Are there separate soaps for the body, hair, and face?
– Try it once.
– This scent… ?
– But why did you turn it on cold water? Cold.
– How hot water comes right from the tap…
Showers, hot water, and co-workers shocked by modern chemicals.
– This is the clothes the captain was wearing…
– Sup, ha-
– Sniff, sniff, this must have a strong smell of a male dropped out of the group… Oh. Sorry.
My co-workers wore the shirts and shorts I used to wear because I had no clothes to put on right away for them after they came out of the shower. Even the shabby clothes worn by each corner of the house became wings when they wore them.
– Come to think of it, are you still talking? Can you read this?
– The Long Terror?
– Korean Office?
– Notepad?
– Jibakguri? What’s this?
– No! Not that!
Like me, they are also happy to realize that there is no communication problem. It really couldn’t have been an expediency idea. What is it It’s my delusion.
– This… What do you mean by chicken?
– What is this big, colorful disc?
– It looks like dirty water… Wow!
After tasting K-chicken, pizza, and soda, they hurriedly stuff it into their stomachs, shouting various exclamations.
– Can’t we all just sleep together?
– The bed collapsed.
– How about doing it in order?
– Don’t do that, let’s decide by drawing lots! One person can sleep together, and the two can sleep on the floor with a blanket!
I look proudly at my co-workers, no, women, who are arguing to sleep with me.
– Wow!! Justitia is the best!!!
– Unbelievable…
– Chit.
Shay, who was lucky, won the prize, and Kaya and Illumina laid out the blankets with a hint of regret. I hold her Shay in her arms and enjoy the scent of her body wash.
– Captain.
– I’m not the captain anymore.
– … Yes?!
– Because there is no such thing as a dungeon here. There are no heinous cults like the fear cults. So… Call me by name from now on.
– Really?
– Then.
– … Eugene.
– You can also take it off.
– It can’t be given up!
Whispering Shay and her pleasant words, I fall asleep feeling her body temperature…
Thud!
‘Sup!’
Even if the wheels were stone, the carriage rattled as if she had stepped on it. The back of his head hit the wagon wall, breaking his concentration. I was imagining Shay sleeping soundly in my shorts and T-shirt… Although she has a good imagination, it was not easy to recall her delusion once she lost her concentration.
‘By the way, I think it’s time to go camping soon?’
Judging by the light coming through the tiny window, it looked like the sun would set in about an hour. I was the captain of the warriors’ squad, but I still can’t make decisions on my own when the goddess is there.
I opened the door to the driver’s seat and pushed my upper body in to ask Raella-sama’s opinion.
“La Ella.”
“…”
“La Ella?”
“Haha…”
“Rael… Lady Raella!!!”
Lady Raella, who was barely holding on to the reins, was sweating all over her body.
“Blind, child…”
“La Ella!”
“I’m fine, so it’s okay not to make a fuss…”
It’s okay, what’s okay! It’s not okay for anyone to see!
As soon as she saw my face, Raella-nim collapsed. His body was hot like a ball of fire.
“Shay! Illumina! Wake up! Hurry!”
“Captain… ?”
“La Ella has collapsed!”
Udang Tangtang-
It was an emergency.
