Chapter 522 – Week 7 Saturday (7)
As the story of the sea came to an end, Merande let out a few painful sounds, then started a new conversation with her red eyes sparkling as if she had come up with a good topic.
“Ah, a snowy field in winter. Seolwon is also very pretty. There is a wide plain before reaching the northern wall, but in winter no one comes and it becomes a pure white plain, but when I see a wide hill, my heart is pounding…”
Merende’s explanation was very lengthy and not very specific, so I needed help. Marey glanced at Lee Ha-un. She added her explanation with a ‘look at that’ look.
“It’s close to the Northern Army’s camp, so there’s no place around. Since it is private property on the military side, it does not come over. I see soldiers sometimes, so people get anxious and don’t approach me. What a strange place.”
“Seeing the soldiers, are you nervous?”
“I don’t know about your generation, but being a soldier. What should I say… Being a soldier is a shield that protects the country these days, that’s what people talk about.
Hmm. 이 새끼들이 순 양아치 새끼들이거든? Well, there were so many bastards who said they were requisitioned and took it, and then said, “I don’t know.” What’s funny is, there were times when this wasn’t a soldier?
As for how shit you were in the past, how are you going to check if they come calling you a soldier?”
“Confirm… ?”
Lee Ha-woon lightly nodded her head.
“It doesn’t seem like anything, but…”
“Yes. Who knows if the clothes are roughly made and skinny. Even after the Continental War is over, there have been many times where bullies made unreasonable military uniforms and robbed them of requisition after wearing them. What are you going to do?”
Marey did not have an easy answer to the difficult question.
“It is still not an easy problem. Even if you write an IOU or something, do you think there will be an administrator in every village who will recognize and certify it?”
“I’ve heard people say that everyone is going to die from overwork because there are no people around.”
“I am also an outsider, but if you hear it often, you must be saying that the field is serious. Back to the story, I’m fine now. The Northern Army constantly patrols, and what kind of procedures are needed to requisition. Did everyone say they didn’t listen? It’s been a few years this too.”
“You know me?”
“Well, the Principality of Romania is also under the jurisdiction of the Northern Army. I talked with General Pahu from time to time.”
Lee Ha-woon ignored the story.
“Lee Ha-woon was in the SS, so he’s famous in Romania!”
Don’t talk about unfamiliar things. Lee Ha-woon lightly flicked his index finger on Merande’s forehead, who seemed to be strong. There was a click and Merande grabbed her forehead with both hands and grunted.
“You sound like the Royal Guard. A bodyguard, a bodyguard. Should I say something like a teacher and bodyguard? Hmm… In terms of the Parwen family, it would be about Nemua.”
“Yes? Sir Nemua is the commander of the knights?”
“Huh? She said he was the leader of the knights? It seems like a lot of time has passed. Well, then it will be different from Nemua. There was no one above me, and no one below me. It’s just an honorary position, an honorary position.”
To say that Lee Ha-woon had a relationship with Nemua was a new story.
“Do you know Sir Nemua well?”
“Well, a little. Because it’s not a good relationship. Don’t ask.”
Lee Ha-woon waved his hand roughly as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.
“…Then tell me more about the Northern Army.”
“Suddenly?”
“No, because I lived near the barrier. I don’t know much…”
Lee Ha-woon looked at Marey with an expression of incomprehension.
“It would be better to ask the inspector general, who has a little more to do with me… Well, if you want to hear more… It’s the northern army… Let me tell you more about what I said earlier. It’s hard to see things like that now. Still, it’s clear that people have been through it. So even now, in most villages, whenever a soldier is seen, everyone locks the door.”
“Has everything like impersonation been resolved? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one…”
“Yes? Still, sometimes it seems like there’s an accident when I see things like public notices. That’s for Miss Julia, isn’t that person from the military? In addition, the Northern Army, the Pahu family, and the Great Confidential must know a lot.”
“Ah, I see…” .”
Stupid guy Lee Ha-woon shook his head from side to side.
“Well, speaking from the level I know, there are still people who pretend to be soldiers after hearing rumors that it is still ~.”
“Is that possible?”
“I mean, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but there are people who do. It used to be really confusing. Even mercenaries, if they brought clothes from somewhere and pretended to be soldiers, how would people recognize them? Seeing as there are a lot of scammers like that, even the soldiers say there were kids who moved to other districts and did that.”
It was a pretty creepy story. I could understand a little why people tabooed about stories related to the military in the old town. I think I’ve heard the story that if a soldier is seen, he first hides the man inside the house.
From the point of view of children, this is something they have never experienced, so the boundaries of adults just felt unfamiliar and annoying. Although it had only been two months since she came to Balter, Marei felt as if she was recalling an old story, as her life was many times more intense than her previous memories.
“In conclusion, the pure white snowfield that the little boy is talking about is more like a symbol of people’s fears than a dream garden. Hey, are you mad? No, would you act like a child for just telling the truth?”
“I don’t know.”
Merande turned his head in the opposite direction of Lee Ha-woon’s line of sight. Lee Ha-woon let out a long sigh and muttered softly, “When will that grow up?”
“Anyway, it’s a nice place. It’s a nice place to watch the little ones running around by the fireplace. Well, the problem is that the kids are too old to run around now. If you throw your eyes and play like that now, it’s not cute, it’s a joke.”
“Do you want to play with Lee Ha-woon?”
“…It’s not my story, it’s your story. Am I the only one getting old?”
Lee Ha-woon looked at Merende with a smile as if he was dumbfounded. Although there is an age difference, isn’t this completely treated as an ajumma? She is said to have been married, but is she at the level of being told that she is an auntie by a boy with a short nose and a vampire kid?
“If you go to the mask, Lee Ha-woon hunts, grills the meat, and makes a lot of it! Right?”
“…So, I went to work as a security guard or a teacher, but who would have known that I would catch a wild boar or a bear cub that was in hibernation and cut it open. She was covered in blood, but let alone the kids worrying about it, she said it had a delicious fishy smell.
Even if you do well, it’s useless. Bad bitches. Lee Ha-woon let out a small sigh. But when she saw her smiling, she seemed to remember that time too.
“Summer and winter, the three of us with her older sister and Mare… It would be nice if we could play together with Lee Ha-woon.”
Merendet murmured sadly as she properly mixed the juice with a straw. The ice whirling over the transparent glass cup with water droplets made a clank-clack-sound.
“Then how about going on summer vacation together? I will definitely make time for it.”
“Oh, really?!”
“Yes, what… What?!”
Feeling the pain in her side, Marey bent her body. Ha-woon’s face hardened.
“Marey?”
“Oh, no… Little… My stomach hurts.”
“Where does it hurt, can I get some medicine?”
At Merende’s question, Marais shook her head. Lee Ha-woon’s face was so cold that Marei focused on examining the expression of the married woman, Suin-sensei, sitting next to her rather than the pain in her side.
“Are you okay. I guess it’s because I ate something cold. I should eat a little slower.”
“Ah, yes… If it’s okay…”
Merande was leaning her body forward as if it were going to come over her table. Marai said she was fine a few times and she calmed down the blonde vampire lady. Lee Ha-woon, as if he had nothing to do with it, was looking elsewhere while holding her chin with one hand.
“Hey Kid. Even if I ask you to go, will your sister go haha?”
“Well, if you ask me…”
“Shall we bet?”
At Lee Ha-woon’s words, Merande looked down as if her spirits had died down, and after licking her lips, she finally bit her mouth shut.
“I want to talk about that later and hear more about the principality. Is it okay?”
“Huh? Ah yes! Do you have any questions? You say you’ve been there, so you know roughly, right?”
“At that time, um… Mo, I’m not feeling well… ! Yes, I don’t like it Since I only rest at the villa, I know very little about it. So I want to hear the story.”
It would be accurate to say that, far from being unwell, she was in such good shape that she couldn’t go outside because she was wallowing with females, but she couldn’t tell such an honest story.
“Hmm… Then, where should I start talking about, there is a waterway connected to a canal… There…”
Merande continued her words with her eyes twinkling again. Even though Lee Ha-woon was staring blankly at other places as if she wasn’t interested, Merande continued to talk, and Marei nodded her head appropriately because the appearance of the vampire girl chattering happily alone was cute.
It was cute because it sounded like a small puppy barking king-wang-bark, but after Lee Ha-woon hit Marey’s side with his elbow, only a cold atmosphere began to emanate. No matter what she said, it seemed that her mood would only get weird as she answered roughly, so Marei reached under her table and carefully touched Lee Ha-woon’s thigh.
“Hey…”
“Huh?”
“Not you.”
Seeing Lee Ha-woon frowning and answering her, Merande kept her mouth shut and glared at Lee Ha-woon. Whether or not the red eyes were staring at him, Lee Ha-woon glared at Marey with a frown on her face.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened? You’re… ! Hey dog…”
“Lee Ha-woon? Marey?”
Lee Ha-un tried to spit out her curse at the boy’s hand slowly groping inside her thigh. Now that she realized what situation she was in, she glared at Marey with her fists clenched.
“Me, you two… In case something happened… ?”
“…Nothing’s wrong, kid. Keep on talking Because I am listening.”
“Ah, yes… So there is a flower garden that her mother likes… “
Merande watched the two of them carefully, then continued talking. At first she stuttered as if she were nervous, but she immediately began chattering with the same bright expression as before. Even bolder, Marei gently stroked Lee Ha-woon’s toned thighs and moved her hands around her crotch.
“What?!”
When the hot hand touched the area around the pubic area, Lee Ha-woon’s ears and tail lifted up.
“Lee Ha-woon… ?”
“…Why?”
Lee Ha-woon, who answered a beat late, let out a sigh of relief or regret at the feeling of slowly moving away from her crotch and stroking her thigh as if his hand was scratching her thigh. Merende feels strange at the strangely strange appearance of the guardian, but she is so unfamiliar. And without knowing the identity of Lee Ha-woon’s atmosphere she had never seen before, she brought her mouth to the straw and sucked on her drink briefly before speaking her words.
“No, that… It’s a little strange today.”
“Weird things happen. So what do you mean, is that the end?”
“Oh, no… I’ll continue… Therefore… Yes, during summer vacation, we picked flowers together in the flower garden…”
Lee Ha-woon glared at the boy who was playing a prank. As if she wasn’t interested in herself, she moderately nodded at Mrande’s words, and it’s good. I want to go, I want to see She’s slow to answer, but very sticky instead. And as the boy’s hand, which was once again running up her inner thighs with her hot hand, seemed to hear a voice unlike her own, she lowered her head and bit her teeth.
