Chapter 75 – 17. Demon Disease. (3)
Fall.
Endless fall.
Natasha screamed in terribly frightened floating. What’s on the floor is the monster’s horrible jaw. But no matter how much I struggled, nothing changed.
Evil-
She woke up from a nightmare Then, in this darkness where only a single candle flickered, he groped for himself.
Make sure her head isn’t attached, her shoulders aren’t eaten, her limbs aren’t torn off….
After that series of processes were over, she realized that she was still alive, and she was relieved. That’s the first thing that starts like a habit when you wake up from a terrible nightmare.
Natasha did her meditations to clear her mind after being plagued by her nightmares all night. In fact, she didn’t even know if it was day or night. The concept of time has long since been lost. The time she woke up was the beginning of the day, and the time she slept was the end of the day.
After such a long meditation, it was time to eat. A bowl of cereal porridge was placed on her table, as if her maid had been cautiously following her sleeping bird. That’s her daily meal.
But her eating was her most painful act to her. No matter how delicious and sweet the food, she felt like rotten food waste to her…. Wouldn’t it be just like this when you boil and eat the filth and then boil it?
As soon as I put it in her mouth, she vomited, but she had to eat to live. Somehow, patiently and patiently.
…… You have to endure it mentally. The spirit can overcome…… !
After barely finishing the bowl of porridge, she fell into meditation again. In particular, she had a lot of time to think about her own swordsmanship.
Time to coolly reflect on everything. …… It was only when her death came right in front of her nose that she was finally able to contemplate herself nakedly.
…… It was a very sad life to pass away like this.
Every time her emotions flared up, she retched more and more. She felt like she would vomit what was inside if she loosened it just a little bit, but she persevered.
Because that’s how it should be. … That’s why I buy it
Then, knocking sound was heard. Natasha slowly moved her gaze towards her visit.
– This is Allen.
…… That’s him
A man suddenly jumped into her hellish life.
From the time she contracted the devil’s disease and began to have seizures in the sun, she entered this lonely room herself. With her determination to overcome the demonic disease on her own, and her face to not harm others….
However, as time passed and her hopes for a cure faded, she felt more and more alone.
In that terrible solitude, as if she were alone in the world, she sank more and more into the swamp of her death.
Death seemed clear now. … Like my father said, like proof that there are things in the world that cannot be solved with mental power.
“Come in.”
Natasha raised her voice one more time, unlike usual, and told her to come in.
The door snapped open, and the man poked his head out with a soft smile on his face. Regardless of whether she was handsome or ugly, she really liked that smile. Ever since she got the demonic disease, she’s only seen people’s worried faces.
“Good morning, lady.”
“… Yes, Mr. Allen.”
“Even if you go inside for a while… ?”
“Yes, come in.”
After permission was granted, Allen Danju and the blind Saint Od Noon cautiously entered the dark room. Danju nodded her head looking at her odd-eyed sister, and she took off her blindfold to check on her Natasha.
“I’m still fine.”
“I’m glad.”
When he finished his work, Ordnun left the room first, leaving Allen alone. In the name of some sort of psychotherapy and stabilization.
But Allen said how she was, how was her body, and she didn’t talk about clichés.
“A few months ago, a dungeon hole was discovered in a silver mine.”
“… A dungeon hole, you mean?”
Natasha also belonged to the count’s mercenary corps before falling ill, but she didn’t wander around the continent like Allen-mercenary corps. She resides here, and she only solves cases that occur near the manor.
For her, Allen’s adventure story aroused considerable interest and fun.
“Yes, a dungeon. It was very cold and damp, the nest of a monster called Ssalver. After wandering there for a few days, I accidentally fell into the monster queen’s feeding room. The whole area was really slime swamp, how bad the smell was… , Lady really can’t imagine.”
“It’s amazing.”
“There I also met the Queen Kaiju. She was colossally huge, and I killed her with magic. At that time, the sight of hundreds and thousands of monsters rushing towards us was really…… , Even thinking about it now, it was dizzy enough to pee. …… Oh, was the pee talk a bit messy?”
Natasha, who was quite unresponsive, burst into laughter. Then she straightened up again and hardened her face.
“…… Excuse.”
Allen laughed to herself, saying she was a very lovable personality. It would be nice if she laughed a little when she was laughing.
He said a few more short words and rose from his seat.
“You’ve been holding the lady for too long. Just rest. I will come again tomorrow.”
…… Ah…….
Natasha felt so bad that she wanted to hold onto Allen. Don’t go She asked me to stay longer.
However, she, who has been blunt and introverted since her birth, couldn’t bear to catch him. And her mental strength that she is not strong this time too.
“…… Yes, go carefully.”
He walked towards the door with a kind glance. Her gaze was fixed on him and did not know how to fall.
… Just then, he turned around with an exclamation of ah.
“Soon, we will start our mission. Tomorrow at the earliest, the day after tomorrow at the latest, we will embark on our mission.”
“Okay.”
“Do not worry too much. We gathered only high-level mercenaries staying in Markas. … The mission will not fail.”
Natasha smiled lightly and nodded her head.
“Even if I die, no one will hold grudges.”
“… It won’t happen.”
…… ‘Cause I won’t make it
Allen turned around, swallowing the words she had in her.
Her sobriety is over, and Natasha is back in her own solitary world.
…… You’ve held up well so far. Let’s not waver. Can’t shake overcome with mental strength. All this with mental strength…… !
But she couldn’t contain her troubled mind at all today.
… My earnest wish to live, today, toxically inflated my body. And that earnestness immediately responded with the body.
Oops… , Whehehe.
In the end, Natasha couldn’t stand it and vomited out everything that was inside her.
Hearing her voice, the maid hurriedly came in and cleaned up the vomit that her lady had vomited.
“… Die, bring more.”
“…… Yes?”
“Death, more, he said to bring.”
She wanted to live
She couldn’t break
She had to eat and hold on.
…… For some reason, I felt a hope that was not there before.
· · ·
Natasha opened her eyes.
Her body feels strangely light and her head clear today.
She meditated quietly, waiting for people to come.
After a while, the count entered his daughter’s room. His expression was much more solemn than usual.
“Natasha… , How are you feeling?”
“Much better than usual.”
“I’m glad.”
Today is the day the mercenaries descend into the underground space to cure her demon disease. It was decided that Natasha would also wait nearby.
“That man, Allen, is a man you can trust. So don’t worry too much.”
“… I know. I am not concerned.”
She was sincere … Even if she were to die in an unavoidable accident, she would accept that fate calmly.
It was destined to die anyway. Maybe this is the last outburst.
“Would you like some porridge?”
“No. I will go on an empty stomach.”
“I get it.”
At the Count’s signal, a large servant entered her room, put a blanket over Natasha’s skull-like, downy hair, and sat on her back.
The three men and women came out to the vacant lot in front of the building. There, the mercenaries, fully prepared, were standing there waiting for the Count to come out.
“Let’s go.”
They lined up and made a long walk to the questionable door.
The cool morning air cooled their bodies, which were soaked in slight excitement.
After a while, the personnel who arrived at the place at that time had a final break and maintenance time before entering.
Allen gave a brief speech in front of the crew huddled on the floor.
“We don’t know what lies down there. However, I assure you that if you do not forget your role and perform it correctly, everyone will be able to return safely.”
He took a deep breath and glanced at the crew once.
“You are the veterans who survived the hellish battle. So believe in yourself and believe in your colleagues.”
“I understand, Danlord.”
All members of the team made up their minds.
Natasha, who was wearing her wrapping cloth, lifted it slightly and looked at Allen Danju.
…… Come back safely, Allen Danju. I, too, will endure to the end. Please…… !
And the dizzying dizziness that comes up.
But Natasha held on with her mental strength, chewing her tongue.
… She hoped that one day this would also be an adventure story he would remember.
