Chapter 18 – Ep.2 – Two Women (1)
***
Again, the carriage goes towards the kingdom.
This time, we head straight to the palace.
Not much has changed from before. Except for the ample load of gold in front of my eyes and my swollen ankle wrapped in bandages.
The bandages that Neva wrapped around her are covered with the cold magic she uses, so her swollen ankles are cooled.
The hot pain fades away from the gentle cold magic.
She seems to be a good person. I think so.
..Time passes and it becomes night.
Even at night, the knights walk endlessly.
Correspondingly, the wagon I rode in was constantly shaking.
At this rate, they could go through camp for a day or so, but they continued to walk without rest.
Even so, they don’t look tired. It’s respectable.
Knights following me behind me.
Looking at their flickering torches, I gradually feel relaxed.
The inside of the swaying wagon becomes a cozy space.
Weary body and mind melt into a cozy space.
It becomes hazy.
And then,
Fall asleep
Dream.
Sleep follows dreams.
I think I was dreaming.
No, in fact, people dream every day, but only a few dreams are said to be memorable.
Well, I don’t know. Anyway, I had a dream.
As always in dreams,
The crazy images and crazy developments continued and flowed very naturally.
It was a dream with nothing special about it. It was a dream with no order, no content, and only a strange lingering aftertaste.
But, is it because it was the first dream I had in another world?
I felt like I had to remember something.
It seemed like something big would happen if I forgot that dream.
In that dream, I ran recklessly.
Whether it was a mountain or a forest, I desperately ran to the place where grass and small trees rose wildly.
I don’t know if I was being chased by something or if I was desperately searching for something.
Anyway, I ran endlessly, and finally reached something and fell to my knees.
Rather than a godly heart, I wonder if I just knelt down because it was too difficult. Anyway, I knelt down in front of something.
[… ]
Soon it said something to me.
I don’t remember much of it, but I do remember one thing vividly.
After the words were over, I shed tears, and shed tears too.
I remember those tears vividly.
The last part of a dream is usually well remembered, but for some reason, the tears are very memorable.
“… Mr. Lin?”
“… Seed!”
I hear the name of my other world.
“Mr. Delrin! You have to get up now. Mr. Delrin!”
“Yes. All right. Woke up… “
Okay.
I still remember the dream after waking up.
Fragments of vague dreams that always disappear right away still linger in my head even after waking up.
I didn’t have time to think about why the dream was so memorable with my just-awakened head,
As my brain gradually woke up, I was able to properly face the intention of the dream.
‘I have to go there.’
Place in dreams.
Going there is the only way to escape this world, and it is the final goal given to me.
I have to leave to find a place that I don’t know where it is.
“Mr. Delrin… ?”
The road that the tears rode down burns hot.
“I’ll be leaving soon. Are you okay.”
“No. You won’t be able to walk properly with that leg, so get on your back.”
Neva, who came to wake me up, held out her back.
“No. It’s really okay. Mr. Neva has to have an audience with the queen, and you have to take care of other duties as well.”
“Yes? Are you done already?”
“Yes?”
“Ah… So, while Mr. Delrin was sleeping, I had already finished my work. You slept for a very long time. Get up anyway!”
What.
It was like that… ?
Well, the outfit is very different from before.
Throwing off all of her armor, she is wearing clothes made of a mysterious material that clings to her body, but unlike her title as the leader of the knights, her back looks so smooth and soft that it would be embarrassing to wear it on her back.
Are you not aware that the outline of your upper body is clearly visible?
Her body gives a completely different impression than when she was wearing her armor.
“You’re saying you’re going to get up? No need to worry. It’s hard to walk, so I have to carry it instead.”
“Oh that… Yes. Please.”
I wondered if I could just give her crutches, but I couldn’t say no to Neva, who gave her goodwill, so I carefully climbed on her back.
“Come on, let’s go. You guys go back now Good work.”
After picking me up, Neva returns the knights around her wagon. They soon bowed, bowed politely, and left.
Perhaps she gave orders for Neva to guard me. She is very caring. Thank you.
“Did you do well? I will go.”
Her soft body, the beautiful silver hair tied back behind her, and the smell of her body gently tickling her nose…
The hair on her back and the apricot skin right in front of her eyes…
‘Wait for a sec… !’
A signal is coming.
“Mr. Neva! I just won’t lift it! Wait!”
She struggles to get down, frightened that this will lead to bad results.
When I put it on, it was very stimulating… ! At this rate… !
“It’s okay. Let’s go.”
But isn’t she pushing forward without even listening!
“Hey, wait! Just one crutch… !”
“It would be more comfortable to carry you than to walk on crutches! Trust me.”
No, not like that… !
What should I do if the server is quickly turned upside down?
“That, that, that!”
“Okay, let’s go!”
She gently grabs my thighs and pulls her body up.
Just at the moment when her well-proportioned breasts made me very confused as to where to place my arms, she started striding as if nothing had happened.
“Let’s go to the clinic first. There’s a cathedral up there, and I’m sure he’ll heal you right away.”
“Is it so. I get it, I get it… !”
“You don’t have to worry. I will pay the cost. That… Instead, have a meal later… “
Because that’s not… !
“Rice is not important! Down below… !”
“Yes? Downstairs?”
Fuck this…
Let’s just be patient.
How can I help you like this?
As long as I keep my composure… !
“Ah… ?”
Neva lets out a sigh as she walks.
An unbearable menstrual phenomenon was pressing down on her waist.
It seems that I have finally realized the physiology of the man who lives here.
“Oh, hehe! Hmm!”
She soon pretends nothing is wrong and continues walking.
Do you know how I feel, the more I want to hide in a rat hole? ?
“Go… It should arrive soon. Yes. Yes… “
“Yes… “
An unbearably awkward current flows.
Before long, her face was as red as a carrot, to the point where she thought she might explode.
‘Fuck… ‘
Wouldn’t suicide be a word only used at times like this?
—————————————————
We arrived at the cathedral dedicated to Penola, the god of light and mercy, with our faces burning.
Immediately under the guidance of the nuns, they were moved to a small bed.
I was examined while lying on it.
“This… “
However, the nun who was examining my legs looked at me with a worried look,
Soon, he began to explain the situation to Neva and me with a dark expression.
“We cannot cure this on our own. It is a condition that cannot be resolved with simple healing prayers.”
“Yes? What do you mean by that?”
Neva jumps up from her little chair, startled.
I am just as shocked as she is, so she immediately asks the nun what she meant.
“Um, what’s going on? Are you serious?”
“I don’t know which wicked person suffered this, but the pain in this ankle is not just broken bones, it is engraved all over the ankle… It is caused by curses, evil, and terrible poisons.”
“No, even so, can’t you heal with the nuns’ holy magic? They are the best nuns in the kingdom… !”
“Sorry. This is something even we can’t cure… The swelling will soon go away and the bones will reattach, but you will probably experience periodic pain. It seems difficult to walk properly. When you put weight on your ankle, the pain accumulates.”
What?
Will it be difficult to walk properly?
“Do… What the hell… ?”
“First of all, we will treat swelling and bone damage right away. More than that… “
“… How can Mr. Delrin get well?”
“Apart from going to the person who made this and solving it… Probably not.”
“… “
Neva’s pretty face is distorted by anger and other negative emotions.
I am grateful that she was angry for me, but the expression and atmosphere were quite bloody, so the nun and I had to look at her.
“… “
She chews her lips so hard that her blood leaks out of them.
“Yes, Mr. Neva… I’m fine, so just calm down.”
I tried to placate her with her words,
Mere [Words] Were too shabby and feeble to allay Neva’s hatred for Philmarck.
Neva is like that,
While I was treating her, she never took her eyes off her swollen ankles for a moment,
When she finally got her leg straight as seemingly normal after her treatment was over, she immediately put me back on her back and headed off somewhere.
“Mr. Neva! Where are you going all of a sudden!”
“We are going to my house.”
“Yes? What is that… ?”
“Since the sin of failing to protect you properly is great, I will take care of you at my house until Mr. Delrin can walk again.”
“No, why is this Mr. Neva’s fault! And why am I staying at Mr. Neva’s house!”
“… “
She stopped her steps.
“Please stay at my house until you feel better. If we send Mr. Delrin like this, the pride of a knight will hit rock bottom, and there is no meaning to a sword that can’t properly protect an innocent man.”
I tried to say something, but
“… Mr Neva. Why… “
Her face over her shoulder had so much emotion,
“… “
She didn’t say anything and just got on her back and headed for her house.
