Chapter 298 – Episode 298 – [Knight of Pure Love: Origin] Knight of Rebellion
* Episode 298 – [Knight of Pure Love: Origin] Knight of Rebellion
After comforting the child, I left the alley.
Among the hunters who came and went to climb the tower, the sight of me carrying a child on my back was strange, but there was no particular problem.
‘It feels like a police station, but I just want to throw it away…’
There is no way that damn goddess would allow that.
She left the tower and immediately caught her taxi, intending to be together at least until she could get him back home.
‘Is it okay to use this?’
Among her returned clothes are her old wallet and bills.
However, although this is the exact same world, it is also called a parallel world.
As I was taking a taxi, I kept thinking about whether I would inconvenience the driver by using the currency of the world I was in…
“Mister…”
“… It’s not uncle, it’s older brother.”
In vain of all my worries, the child grabbed me and started crying.
“Oppa… Don’t you ask?”
“What?”
“Why did I do that…”
Did I have to ask?
I knew everything about her situation, so I didn’t bother to ask, but if you think about it, it was a strange thing for her.
I suddenly showed up, fixed his eyes, and tried to send him home without even asking about his circumstances.
… What is this guy really? You might want to. I will be like that too.
“I’m sorry. I was busy and distracted right now. If it’s okay, I’ll listen to you on the way.”
“Yes…”
I thought it was an indifferent answer, but she told me what had happened so far, as if the child needed a place to lean on.
-Today was my mother’s birthday, so I was returning home with a birthday present for her.
-On the way, she met a boy in her class who was known to be a bad boy, and she said he surprised her.
-When I came to my senses, it was like a tower, but when I fell, the landing point was not good, and I ended up hurting my eye.
-As he was crying out in pain, he heard a loud noise and crawled into something like a jar to hide.
‘The bad boy surprised me.’
In hindsight, this incident was one of the reasons why Yoo Ji-hyeon entered 【Jedosa】.
On his way home, he gets pranked by a bad boy in his class, flies to a foreign tower, meets Louisa from Don Quixote, and becomes a hunter from there.
‘That’s strange. Why did it fly to our tower in this episode?’
There is something artificial.
I don’t know why, but I narrowed my eyes thinking it might be Freya again.
“But I’m glad… Thanks to my brother, I was able to return home…”
Jihyun’s face was contrary to my expression.
She smiles as she says she can’t wait to go to her parents and her mother and give her gift.
Even though she had experienced such a thing, her concern that the items in her bag had been crushed also eased my heart.
Yoo Ji-hyun was a good girl.
At least not yet.
“… Huh? What are you?”
“”?””
While I was listening to Jihyun’s situation, I simultaneously reacted to the driver’s surprised voice.
I wondered why she was suddenly surprised, so she stuck her head out and looked forward together.
“Uh… Over there…”
She pointed at me.
Then, unable to hide her astonishment, she stuck her head out the window and looked outside, and her hair stood on end.
This is because smoke rose from afar and familiar siren sounds were heard from all directions.
“Oh, that’s in the direction of my house…”
‘Fuck.’
Yes.
Well then.
Freya, that disgusting bitch can’t stay still.
I hurriedly paid the money, dragged Jihyun, who was in a daze, and headed toward the burning place.
“Uh, that… Is our house…!?”
The child’s face, which was already crying, became more despairing the closer he got to the house.
*
The world is burning bright red.
Inside the bright yellow police line, a charred body arrived, and an ambulance came to retrieve it.
A fire that had not yet been extinguished was burning, and it seemed like that child’s future.
「Mommy!!! Dadaaaaa!!!!」
Jihyun escapes from my arms, breaks through the crowd, and comes inside, screaming.
The scream lost its language and became an echo, echoing everywhere.
The neighbors felt sad when they saw Jihyun suddenly appear, and the police couldn’t help but be embarrassed when they saw the child suddenly appear.
“Mom… “Mom!!!!”
“Huh… Ah, ah ah ah ah… !!」
“Dad… Ahhh… Daddy… !」
None of the parents who were in ashes could answer.
The body lying in an upright position, charred black, is unknown as to who is the mother and who is the father.
Jihyeon kept running towards her parents, and her adults stopped her.
Another hell unfolded.
‘Is Ji-hyeon, the reason you punished her parents with fire, to screw me over?’
『───.』
There was no reply.
It’s frustrating.
Not giving an answer when you really need it is exactly what this bitch would do.
I don’t know if he really went to Aphrodite’s side or if he was holding back laughter, but I watched this situation all along.
「Uh, Mom… Dad… Please save me… !」
“Can you save me!?”
“Yes!?”
「…”
There is no way it can be saved.
It’s already dead.
It was difficult to even imagine how much he must have suffered before he was brutally oxidized and died, even though he was a victim of similar burns.
“Mom! Mommy!!!! Dadaaaaa!!!!」
「Huhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!”
Ji-hyeon cries and her adults comfort her and gradually move away.
I chased after them.
Even if he received a body, he was essentially a constellation, so he was transformed into a spirit and watched carefully.
Jihyeon’s tears continued for about an hour, and it was only after she calmed down that the adults asked questions.
-Where have you been all this time!?
-Are you feeling okay?
-Are there any relatives or adults you know that you can contact?
-Where is the older brother you said came with you?
-I heard there’s a taxi nearby…
“Huh, huh, huh… !」
“Nothing… I don’t know… !」
Jihyun’s eyes widened as the adults continued to ask questions.
Her mother’s birthday was on the anniversary, and she became an orphan with no home to return to, and the bundle of gifts she had beautifully decorated at her stationery shop fell on her floor with no place to go.
“I was next to you just now…”
I, who helped her, disappeared somewhere and was surrounded by adults who didn’t even know her face.
I can’t even imagine how stressful that must have been for the child.
-Did you find the person who came with you?
-No, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t find it.
-A hunter with a face covered in burns…
I couldn’t show myself.
Right now, I don’t have an ID card that is accepted in this world, so it would be difficult for me to show myself hastily.
So I kept watching.
From lunch to dinner… While waiting for this situation to calm down a little.
“Mom… Dad…”
“Why does this only happen to me?” ?」
“Why…”
Jihyun’s sad voice did not reach anywhere.
The police and other officials were busy trying to contact her to see if her child had any relatives, but when they finally got in touch with her, they were all too busy shifting her responsibility to other relatives.
In Jihyun’s family, the relationship between the family members was not good, and even though it was the middle of the night, no adult came to take the child.
-What should I do with this?
-I never thought anyone would come when my child and her relatives are like that.
-Have you contacted the school?
-It’s time. Not even the teacher contacted me.
-Do we have no choice but to temporarily transfer jurisdiction to a shelter and let go? .
Is that the story in the end?
My bones ached just looking at it, wondering what would happen to the body and its subsequent disposal.
Whether the funeral will be held properly or what will happen to the property left behind by her parents, these are not issues that Jihyun, who is a child, can handle.
‘Why am I watching this?’
I thought about turning away like this.
If you go to the shelter, you will soon be placed in an orphanage, so there is nothing for me to do after that.
‘Originally, I was planning to leave the child with her parents and go back.’
But the house burned down.
My parents are dead.
It’s probably Freya’s doing.
She told me to either kill her or join her.
However, if you ignore it and return to the tower, it is certain that he will make some kind of gesture.
‘I have no choice but to wait a little longer.’
First, I decided to watch from the side so that he could adapt well at the daycare center.
And when we’re done adjusting, let’s go back… That’s what I thought…
“It’s because of that guy.”
“If it weren’t for him… This wouldn’t have happened… !」
Words and actions that shattered my complacent thoughts began.
While the police were making contact here and there, Ji-hyeon sneaked out.
‘What are those bastards doing when they’re not watching the kid?’
When you contact the department in charge, do you feel relaxed because it is their job from then on?
Or did something else happen along with the fire?
Either way, the police officers were so busy doing their jobs that they had no time to act as babysitters.
“The teacher taught me my skills…”
“My friends told me not to do that…”
“But why is it like that!?”
“I really thought I was going to die!!”
I ran away from the adults and ran down the dark street.
Only later did someone yell that the child had run away, but they were a few steps too late to catch up with Jihyun who had entered the alley.
From this point on, he showed a tendency to run amok when he got angry.
The brakes that support my heart may have been broken because my parents died.
“If only you hadn’t done that… !」
“Mom and Dad… I don’t know how I could have saved it… !!」
“If it’s my skill… Even if there was a fire like that, I would have done something!!!!」
I grabbed a piece of glass that had fallen in the alley.
Jihyun was planning to stab the ‘bad boy’ who blew her away.
Even though she knew that her house burned down and that she had nothing to do with it, she needed a place to vent her anger.
“I will kill you.”
“Every time, every time… “I said it wasn’t a joke to be played with a smile!!”
“You devilish bastard… “I’m going to kill you!!!”
Since she didn’t know where he lived, she even thought about waiting until morning and attacking him on his way to school.
If things turn out this way, I won’t think about the future.
What happens if you leave this unattended… Honestly, I didn’t want to imagine it.
“Don’t do it.”
“Ugh!? Man…!?”
“Even if it’s not you.”
In the end, I stopped it.
Because there was no one who could stop this child other than me, and there was no one who could take her away.
In the end, everything went according to Freya’s will.
