Chapter 117 – 26. Pink-Haired Crazy Bitch (3)
He is dragged around, hanging on Cordelia’s shoulder. At first, I wondered if she could lift me with just that little bit of her body, but then I realized that she was not a woman of this world for no reason, and lifted her up, lifting her up and carrying her lightly on her shoulder. My expression didn’t change at all, as if I wasn’t too heavy.
“Well, isn’t it heavy?”
“What?”
“No.”
I am at a loss for words at the sight of him being so relaxed and just cling to him obediently. I wanted to ask him to at least change his posture because he was in a bad mood, but I saw the fight in broad daylight and I didn’t want to do anything that would offend him, so I kept my mouth shut.
Sabaksabak-
It was only after Cordelia had walked for a while that she could see the cabin, wondering how deep she had been dragged into it. She didn’t notice because the background passed by when she was being dragged by the beast, but I thought she knew why people didn’t come running right away even if I screamed and went crazy.
At this distance, even if you make a loud noise, it may be faintly heard or mistaken for the cry of a wild animal.
“Now I’ll go back on my own.”
Now that she knows the road, she asks Cordelia to take her down. To be honest, I felt sorry for continuing to hang on like a burden, and I wanted to quickly go back, take an antidote, and escape to a safe place.
To some, it may seem like I’m running away from Cordelia, but honestly, I’m grateful for the help. No matter how foolish or stupid I am, I am not an ungrateful person who does not know grace.
But maybe it’s because she knows her past separately from him. A feeling of rejection inside me… I don’t know if there were other people around her, but she wanted to leave quickly because she didn’t know what would happen to her if they were together.
In fact, she still doesn’t know what Cordelia does. She couldn’t help but be wary, seeing as she might be even more crazy than Lisa Bishop, just by the standards of the game.
“What about poison?”
“Oh, that’s holy water…”
“It won’t work?”
“Yes?”
“What you got hit was heart poison.”
“Poetry, read carefully?”
Deep reading?
What is that? It’s a name that seems like something you’d see in a martial arts magazine. I don’t understand, so I look around. Cordelia looks at my foolish face and lets out a deep sigh. She suddenly changed her path and took me into her cabin.
“Cordelia? Where am I…”
“It’s noisy when your snout flutters. Just shut up…”
“… “
A quiet, but overbearing tone of voice that automatically closes the mouth.
Cordelia steps through the half-broken door. In the light of her lantern, my narrow field of vision widened and became brighter.
“Ugh!”
Before I could even look around her room, Cordelia threw me onto her bed. A moan that comes out from the soft but subtle shock that is felt at the same time. As she frowned, I woke up feeling numb.
…
Ugh… Damn, it’s a mountain beyond a mountain…
I barely escaped from the giant Nepenthes, but I can’t avoid a good situation.
I straighten my mind, which was clouded by the poison, and focus my gaze forward. Cordelia got down on her knees and was rummaging through her drawers, looking for something.
“Wow!”
Wait a minute, but it seems like this situation is getting worse…
I lean my back against the crumbling wall. She had to quickly drink holy water or something to detoxify, but as time went by, the sensation in her hands and feet seemed to be becoming increasingly dull.
Plus, cold sweat is flowing…
She was so dizzy that even her otherwise normal vision was blurry.
“Ha… Ha…”
Her breathing gradually becomes heavier.
She’s still got a long way to go, but that’s just it. If I continue like this, my body will only be ruined.
However… What does it mean not to use holy water?
Cordelia clearly said that the poison of the giant Nepenthes was severe and that she would not be able to cure it with holy water.
If what they said was true, this was really serious, and I thought there must be some way to bring me here, so I decided to wait for now.
“It’s here. “Wait a moment.”
Cordelia glances at my condition and mixes her medicine. Are wizards these days learning how to make antidotes?
I don’t know. I felt like my head was going to explode at any moment.
“Drink it up.”
“Yes…”
He passes the black liquid contained in the wooden plate to me. At first glance, it looked like something I shouldn’t eat, but I had a strong desire to live, so I gulped down everything I was given.
“Whoop!”
“Drink it all. That’s how you get better.”
For a moment, she felt sick again, but when she was told to swallow, she narrowed her eyes and swallowed.
Only after forcing something that doesn’t fit in like that, do you take a deep breath. Just by smelling it, a terrible smell came out of her mouth.
“It’s okay. It will get better in a little while.”
“Ha… Ha…”
Just as Cordelia said, it won’t be long before the effect starts to take effect and the headache that seemed like it was going to break is slowly going away. Her body, which had been a thousand pounds heavier, also became lighter. Above all, the pain that seemed to be hitting her heart was diluted.
“His poison is a poison that takes root in the soul, not the body. I brought him here because he couldn’t be treated with regular medicines like holy water. “Don’t misunderstand.”
“… “
A poison that cannot be cured with holy water? What? Is this guy trying to trick me?
In fact, as Cordelia said, there are poisons that cannot be cured with holy water, so I know to some extent because I work in the religious sect.
Of course, we don’t call this deep reading, we just call it a curse.
What I don’t understand is that such dangerous poisons only exist in the demonic beasts living on the Demon Continent…
I couldn’t understand why it was mentioned here.
“Ha… Ha… Cordelia, that poison… “Isn’t it only on the Demon Continent?”
“I don’t know, but demons who can use mind reading have been appearing one by one for some time now. “It’s probably because of the seeds of disaster you’re talking about.”
Even though Cordelia was speaking insensitively, there was still so much she didn’t understand. The seeds of disaster could be a problem, but even if you look at it and think about it, it spread abnormally quickly.
The story has just begun in earnest, but suddenly a poisonous creature from the Demon Continent comes across the sea?
This could never have happened.
They came across the sea exactly three years after the hero was elected. At least until then, peace on the continent had to be maintained.
“Ha… Ha… But how did Cordelia know that and treat me? ?”
“I know because I experienced it too. Still, you’re lucky. Because it can be treated immediately after detection…”
“Yes?”
Cordelia smiled bitterly and rolled up the sleeve of her left arm while spitting out something meaningful. Soon her hidden arms were revealed.
“… “
An arm that is grotesquely twisted with dark red veins clearly visible. I didn’t notice it because it was inside the clothes, but it was so dry as if all the moisture had been sucked out that it seemed like it would break if I applied too much force.
“In my case, the treatment was a little late. “She almost lost the use of one of her arms.”
No, wait, is this real? That’s definitely a symptom that appears when the poison has spread. As the unbelievable but clear evidence was presented to her, there was nothing left to refute.
Let’s just look at it with a confused expression for a while. Cordelia lowers her sleeves again as if she is embarrassed. Then she sat down on the cylindrical chair across from her. She placed her arms on the table and tapped them with her fingers.
“Unless you want to be like me, you should drink all the remaining medicine.”
@@@@@
Let’s drink all the medicine on the plate. My blurred mind becomes clear. Cordelia hasn’t touched me at all since then, as if the reason she brought me here was really purely for treatment.
Since she had been through so many things recently, I thought she might be treated in an unspeakable way in the cabin, but that didn’t happen.
I also have quite a bit of paranoia…
I feel sorry for Cordelia because the positions of men and women have changed and there have been many actual incidents, but she couldn’t help but be suspicious.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Yes, I can move a little now.”
The shivering was gone. Her body and mind became lighter, and her breathing also calmed down to some extent.
Did I misunderstand too much?
At first, I thought she was a scary person, but after talking to her for a while, she turned out to be a nice person.
I’m still wary of being a church person, but that’s something I can’t help. Even though I was seeing her for the first time, she treated me with the utmost sincerity.
“It’s a medicine that warms the body. “Eat it now, and it will be meaningless once it cools down.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Is this really the same person who caused a disturbance earlier? Now I was almost sorry for getting help.
“Hmm… When I looked at the rosary earlier, I noticed that you were different. I guess you are a saint of the religious order?”
“Oh, yes. “This is Saint Isaiah.”
Cordelia, who was looking at me closely as if looking at a strange animal, asked. I stop eating and answer quickly.
However, she waved her hand as if telling her to finish eating. She didn’t seem to want to talk too deeply, her chin resting on her oddly bent hands and her eyes tired.
Really… I think people are nice…
I don’t know why I did that earlier.
In fact, even in the game, I wasn’t that reluctant to join Hero’s group. Are you saying it’s interfering with your research? However, I remember that she did not reveal her murderous intent to the point of harming anyone…
I don’t know. Since the previous world was different from the world I am in now, there was a severe lack of information
