Chapter 40 – 2. Hansel and Gretel (20)
The party sat around a bonfire in the still chilly night air.
At the words of Nuri, who had been there as a scout, the party withheld judgment for now.
“What is that? It’s like a ghost town, right?”
“…”
At the words of a certain mercenary, everyone was silent.
Because I agree with what he said.
“I know that lady has some kind of invisibility ability, but isn’t it a bit dangerous at night?
“I’m fine here”
Yuria’s blue eyes shone dimly in the darkness and saw through the darkness.
Everyone flinched at the sight of YuRia.
“I don’t see any dangerous spirits around here.”
“Whew, good luck… Wait. Only ‘dangerous’?”
Her sudden chills went down her spine.
Wait a minute, so you’re saying there are ghosts around here?
YuRia let out a light sigh and shrugged her shoulders at the sight of the hulking men frightened by ghosts.
“A place where there are no wandering spirits in the first place is more dangerous. A place like that means there is something.”
“…”
At YuRia’s words, everyone hesitated and sat down again.
“I-I mean. Places without ghosts are rarer?”
“How many places in this land have never died of a life form capable of forming a spirit? Not all of them become ghosts, but the number of spirits that have accumulated over this long period of time exceeds the number of intelligent races that inhabit this land.”
“…”
Dying from plague, dying from war, and from monsters. Due to bandits.
By famine. By disaster.
Indeed, various deaths have piled up on this land.
“I’ll go to the village alone once”
“Yuria, are you okay?”
“… Can someone over there lend me two daggers?”
After a while among the mercenaries, a dagger came out one by one from each other, and it was passed into YuRia’s hand and held.
Yuria tied the dagger around her waist and quietly looked in the direction of the village Nuri had mentioned.
“Then I’ll go”
Fault! Everyone stared blankly at the figure of Yuria, who lightly leaped up the tree and jumped from tree to tree and quickly disappeared.
“U-what is that? Was that kid an elf?”
“No, you have round ears. You must be a half-elf.”
“Hagisa, you were really pretty, right? Though your hair was a little too big.”
Hearing the whispers of Karna’s mercenaries, Cashwin let out a sigh.
Even if she thought about it herself, Yuria’s appearance was enough to be misunderstood as an elf.
On the other hand, Yuria, who arrived near the village quickly, without people misunderstanding her, was still staring at the village in question with her blue eyes shining.
“…”
It was too loud to bark.
At this level, even ordinary people felt something ominous or rejected.
Of course, the tone is barking, but it’s not to the extent that it will affect people, but if it’s this much, it will have a considerable effect on people…
If this place had been like this from the beginning, there was no way that a village would have been created here.
Instinctively, she would have been reluctant to settle here, and naturally the town would have been created elsewhere.
In other words, this is a change that has occurred since the town was created.
And perhaps it’s not that long ago that this change has taken place.
But it didn’t seem like a short period at all.
It must have been past the deadline, at least to those in the know. Otherwise, there would be no one who passed this place.
However, no matter how much I looked, I don’t know how it was that the high-density sound pooled, but to YuRia, this place looked like a useful place.
Yin energy is also just a type of energy to Yuria, and it is energy that can be used as much as one wants to use.
On the contrary, if you use the energy of this place, it seems that you can considerably speed up recovery to some extent.
“Shall we go back to the party for now?”
With the bonfire lit, they huddled together and were alert to the surroundings, and the mercenaries and cashews reacted sensitively to every trivial thing and kept a close watch on their surroundings with a frightened expression.
“I’m scared of Cashwyn.”
Thanks to Nuri, who trembled and stuck close to Cashewwin, Cashewwin was very to die for.
Both in a good sense and in a bad sense.
The feeling of a soft-touch breast with a fairly large size and a small bump that boasts its presence at the end of it, as if it is out of mind, and it is clumsy and adheres to Cashwyn’s body and its shape is crushed.
And the fresh scent emanating from the body of a woman standing on the border between a young girl and a woman, feeling strangely fragrant, made her head dizzy.
Cashwyn, who was doing all of her thoughts in order to divert her mind somehow, suddenly sensed something about her in the distance and stood up from her seat.
“Ah, is that YuRia?”
In the meantime, what about cashewwin? She thought.
Come to think of it, did she pull out the orc bones that she had embedded in Yuria’s body?
Hiccups?
Without realizing it, she had her own hiccups.
So right now, Yuria, that guy showed that kind of movement with an orc bone stuck in her body?
People sitting in a circle near the campfire were startled when something popped out of the tree without any sign of popularity.
It came out from the top of a tree and landed by the campfire lightly with its back to the moonlight, and only then did people realize who it was.
Blue hair and blue eyes that shone faintly in the dark. Because she was Yuria, who went scouting about the village after Nuri.
“I don’t think it’s an unexpectedly dangerous accident.”
“Surprisingly?”
“But it might be dangerous if left as it is. To put it in an Asian way, it’s because it’s too full of yin energy.”
Oh to him who enjoys it? And thumped her palms into her fists and struck them down.
“I see. She thought it was something familiar.”
“So, what is pitch? Explain it so that we can understand it.”
Unlike Nuri, who understood at once, the mercenaries began to grumble.
“Simply put, the energy that ghosts use?”
And at that moment, everyone shut their mouths.
“Well, isn’t that dangerous?”
“It’s not that dangerous. If you live in a place with a lot of negative energy for a long time, it might cause problems, but it’s not bad enough to appear after a few days.”
People didn’t seem to understand.
“If you’re really afraid, gather around Cashwyn, because most evil spirits won’t even get close to him.”
Cashew Win flinched at YuRia’s words and hurriedly adjusted her expression.
When she shot her eyes at Yuria, what the hell was she talking about? And saw her own wand.
Now his own wand, which has become almost a cedar wand.
YuRia attached a crystal ball made from Goetia’s pages she had previously obtained at the cannibal inn to Cashwyn’s cane.
“Uh?”
“I’ll lend it to you temporarily. I’ll take it back when I’m done with this job.”
It was very difficult to give because that page was absolutely necessary to implement some of the functions of the suit to support one’s abilities.
“By the way, YuRia. You don’t have to remove the Orc bones stuck in your body anymore?”
At those words, Yuria flinched greatly.
“Yuria?”
“…”
“Looking at it, it seems to be flying well now, so I don’t think I need it anymore?”
Yuria tried hard to avoid Cashwin’s eyes.
“Let’s take it out today since it came out”
“Can I just not do that?”
Cashew Wynn replied with her grin.
“No”
She was Yuria, who had a very confused expression on her face and looked like she was about to cry.
Hey, this expression is so cute?
In the end, with a look that looked like she was about to cry, YuRia asked Cashwyn for one favor.
If you’re going to do it, call Nuri and Karna and ask Cashwyn to do her best in a form that won’t look at her own shame.
“Is that more important than being sick!?”
“You’re a pervert after all?!”
“Oh no, why is the story like that!?”
“Even when I had surgery before, why did my breasts, which had nothing to do with the affected area, flutter!!”
At that, Cashwyn murmured.
“Uh, uh”
Because it has a heart in it?
“I’m dying pervert, slut, milf!”
“Cool?”
Cashwin then paused for a moment to retort.
“But YuRia, isn’t it a little too much to be called a MILF with your body?
“Die twice!!”
YuRia kicked Cashwyn’s crotch straight and kicked Cashwyn’s as it were?! She sat down helplessly with a scream.
“Kkeuheugh!!”
The half-melted orc bones began to come out one by one from YuRia’s body, who groaned as she bit her thick lump of flesh into her mouth.
When I wondered how she could move that way even with the bones of an orc in her body, the part where her muscle movements would get in the way was more intensively melted down than in other places.
Couldn’t this have just been pulled out?
“I think this one is already gone?”
Karna, who was touching the place where her orc bones were planted in Yuria’s body, tilted her head in embarrassment.
“Are the little things already assimilated?”
Although the blow was not strong enough to obliterate her descendents, as revenge for the eunuch kick, YuRia’s flesh was sutured without mercy.
Well, I’m doing well so there are no scars, so be patient with Lee Jeong-don.
The procedure was all over in a short time.
Cashew Winn was a little disappointed that it ended earlier than she expected, as more than half of what was planned had already melted and disappeared, or it was completely integrated with the padded area, so she couldn’t use her hands.
YuRia, who was sweating a little bit, her breathing got a little rough, she adjusted her clothes by herself, put down the wad of cloth she was holding in her mouth, and stared at Cashwyn.
“You hurt me on purpose, right?”
“Well?”
“Profit…!!”
Cashew Wynn shrugged her shoulders and asked a little unexpectedly.
“But isn’t this nothing compared to the pain I’ve been through lately?”
At those words, YuRia’s expression seemed to be irritated, and she continued kicking Cashwyn’s shin.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!”
“Would you like to drink until you get used to it and it doesn’t hurt?”
“Poems, mistakes! Admit mistakes! It hurts! Mi-sorry?!”
Come to think of it, that was it too.
She wasn’t the kind of person who wouldn’t mind if she got used to the pain of twisting her raw flesh, but recently, all of Yuria’s injuries were so great that she forgot about it.
It was a series of fainting, fainting, and fainting.
Even if it wasn’t that it didn’t hurt.
Joy! YuRia, looking at the surgical scars that had already been healed by her potion, loosened her body here and there.
On the contrary, in a situation where I was used to having the bones of an orc in my body, now that I took out the bones of an orc that were no longer useful, I felt somehow awkward.
As she loosened her body with light stretches, she felt each part of her body gradually fall into place.
YuRia, who had been adjusting her body for a long time, hearing the sound of her bones and muscles twisting and loosening, finally loosened her look, which had been slightly frowning.
It wasn’t that the incident earlier didn’t hurt as much as her loud noise.
“The irony of her awkwardness being back to normal is funny,” She said.
Of course, she’s not completely back to normal yet, but this should be back in a few days.
Then, for some reason, I burst into laughter.
Since when did she come to regard this messy state as ‘normal’?
She just seemed to be considered ‘normal’ to herself now, as long as she didn’t cause Loa her concerns.
Returning to the side of the bonfire where her party was gathered, Yuria smiled for some reason at the sight of everyone.
She gathers together and prays to an unknown god. It’s like holding something that looks like a symbol of God or a sacred object, praying, or offering a simple sacrifice.
For her party, the town they will enter tomorrow has already been stigmatized as a ghost town.
Probably.
If a place is full of yin energy that much, even if it’s not an evil spirit, it’s bound to attract spirits of one kind or another.
YuRia quietly went to Cashwyn’s side who was doing something of her own by her bonfire and quietly whispered.
“There must be something in that town.”
“Heeek-?! Wow, what a surprise!!”
“…”
As if she was so surprised, YuRia looked at her cashews with her disapproving eyes, and her cashews cleared her chest in surprise.
“Why are you appearing like a ghost?”
“Are wizards afraid of ghosts?”
“That’s it…”
YuRia, who was worried for a while, wondered if there was something she didn’t know.
Or maybe she was just Cashew Winn’s personal inclination?
What she knows about this world is a very narrow range of ophthalmology, which she learned through Loa.
As she looked at the many possibilities in this world, she knew only the surface of a watermelon, albeit roughly.
Of course, in the midst of that, even if it was at the level of scratching the surface of a watermelon, most humans had a lot of appearances and knowledge in areas that they hadn’t even scratched the surface of, so they could have been ahead in that area, but their understanding of the world as a whole was shallow. .
“Eh, AC! I don’t know. That, scary is scary. What are you afraid of because insects are dangerous?”
What about Yuria? She did and she was convinced.
Although I certainly have no qualms about most insects or arthropods, I was scared for no reason about insects with more than eight legs.
Or a worm with no legs at all.
Or not. The kind that burrows into or parasitizes the body of other creatures…
“Eww…”
Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.
Isn’t it terrible, when other things come inside of me and wriggle and eat me up and think inside me, ugh…
Only Loa is allowed to enter inside of him.
“Okay… Anyway, I think we should do some research on the town. If it was a place full of yin energy from the beginning, people would have been instinctively reluctant to settle there. “It’s only recently that this change has occurred.”
Cashew looked at YuRia.
“Are there people in town?”
“There was. Not everyone came out of the house. So I think we need to find out. What the hell brought about this change in this town? It’s also for the sake of the people in that town, but if something like this happened, it’s sure to do something more dangerous. Maybe he’s preparing for it.”
“…”
“And the energy that fills that village is just a well-prepared table for me.”
What about cashewwin?! He looked at YuRia with an expression that seemed to
“You! Actually, that’s your real purpose, right?”
“It’s not even Roa’s business, so there’s no way I’m going to go barefoot, right?”
YuRia shrugged her shoulders and looked at Cashwyn as if it was something.
“…”
Cashwin recalled the feeling of seeing YuRia for the first time again.
That this child has no value in most humans except loa.
It is a being that has a feeling similar to a god standing at a much higher place than humans and looking down on humans whether they die or not.
Humans were also slaughtered by ants. Whether two anthills are fighting each other for territory. It’s like she doesn’t feel anything, that’s how Yuria feels seeing Roa and her few other people except for the very few she acknowledges.
“Yuria, you haven’t forgotten about Karna and her friends, right?”
“I don’t know how you look at me, but it’s not to the extent that you don’t see anything other than Loa…”
And.
Her current situation is also a situation where she has already fallen to a place similar to them.
Nuri, Allen, and Karna, who followed Yuria, admired the rather large lake.
It was very beautiful for some reason to see the almost full moon shining over the lake, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
“There are all these places”
“Iknow, right…”
Karna and Allen looked around for a while and then started to throw off their clothes.
Seeing the two of them, YuRia also slowly began to take off her clothes.
Maybe it’s because she broke out in a cold sweat too much while doing the operation. Even though she wiped it with a towel, she couldn’t help feeling a little uncomfortable.
She felt cool after visiting and taking a dip in the lake, but that was the end.
“Ouch!!”
“It’s good to wash, but ah, it’s still spring, so the water is cold…”
Looking at Allen and Karna, who were not serious, YuRia, as it were, plunged into her water.
For some reason, she felt her gaze converge at the presence of two large islands floating on the water, and Yuria felt a little pouty.
Ah, no matter how much she is called a woman, if you look at her that way, she is a little embarrassed…
“Wow… That size could fit in that slender body.”
“Isn’t it more amazing that it’s that size and doesn’t sag at all?”
“Eww…”
Yuria, who was ashamed of something about her, turned her body upside down and looked at Nuri. Looking at her, I forgot what to say.
“I envy you?”
“You say that!!”
“I’m so jealous I’m going crazy!!”
“Eungong, you’d better go somewhere else and don’t talk about it in front of women. Stones might fly.”
YuRia flinched at the intense reaction and went into the water, leaving only her eyes behind.
I’ll have to be a bit more careful in the future.
But somehow she also felt better.
That’s how much others would envy, because it was like saying that I could look beautiful to Roa.
“Eye!!”
She was caught off guard for a moment, and before she knew it, she grabbed her chest tightly as Allen stood behind her.
“Hyak-?!”
“Wow!! What is this chest?! It’s a scam!! Mr. Wooi! That’s why Roa didn’t move even when I pushed her body in”
… Huh?
In an instant, YuRia’s mood changed to Charah.
Although the water was cold, Allen hiccuped at the strange feeling that the temperature around her had dropped several degrees apart from the water temperature, and without realizing it, she removed her hand from Yuria’s chest hesitantly he stepped back.
“Just now… Who did she say was flirting with?“
Hi Heb?
Shining blue eyes.
No, it wasn’t a figurative expression, but seeing YuRia approaching her hand with a clattering sound, her eyes shining brightly, Allen kept hiccupping until she stopped and fell behind her.
She gurgled and fell into her water, then she hurriedly jumped out of the water. Allen’s complexion turned blue when he saw Yuria standing right in front of her.
Pachit, Pachijik -!!
“Ah…?”
Allen’s expression gradually turned blue due to the arc discharge bouncing from YuRia’s hand, and Nuri and Karna were frightened and quickly started to get out of the lake.
It was absolutely not a specification to get caught up in the wrong way.
“This stray cat!!”
Pajijijik-!!
“Hikaaaaagh ―!!“
