Chapter 17 – Chapter 3. Mint Champion.
When the light disappeared, Hero Elim felt extreme fear.
… Die.
In the pitch-black darkness, she was frozen like a statue, unable to move. The teeth clenched hard.
To die like this? So vain? Can’t even resist?
Ah, ah ah-.
The fairy ran for once. I ran recklessly. I forcibly squeezed out my memory and ran like crazy to the location where the passage was. Then she tripped on something and threw herself forward. But she jumped up again like a spring and ran again.
I didn’t really see anything. The only sounds were panting breaths, the frantic beating of her heart, and the sound of liquid splashing under her sloshing feet.
She ran and ran. Then she crashed into a stone wall. Evil- In an instant, my mind went blank. She staggered once. Then she started walking briskly as she groped the wall.
Please, please, please, please.
Then she heard someone calling her.
“Hero, warrior!”
Someone was still alive But she didn’t answer. If she answers, her demon might find her. Unfortunately, she intended to get away with her live as bait.
Have to live have to live I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die.
I just thought I had to live. I didn’t want to die. The hero frantically groped for the wall and continued to move.
“Hero-nim!!”
Elim thought that the devil didn’t kill him on purpose. She wants to play with herself. To watch you struggle. … No, she didn’t even know that she was still watching from the side with a terrifying smile.
“Hero, this is Bella. Where are you in now? Hero!”
Ah.
Bella was also alive. But the warrior did not answer. She was a little devil A despicable and cruel race.
The hero was groping along the wall for a long time when something suddenly grabbed her arm.
“Ahhh!”
The hero was frightened and struggled to shake it off.
“It is us. It’s us! Warrior, warrior! … Wake up, you bastard—!!”
“Let it go, let it go, let it go!”
“The devil is dead. The devil is dead!”
“No, no, no.”
She must have been watching from somewhere. The hero eventually shook off his hand that held his arm and moved busily again. Then he finally confirmed that the wall was bending. It was a passage
Car, found… !
She went inside And she jolted her feet with greater speed.
The sound of rain started getting louder. There was also a faint light. She ran like crazy.
Shoot ah-.
The rain poured down like a downpour. The fairy got out of the cave and fell flat on the muddy floor.
Lower, lower, lower.
The feeling of relief that I was alive spread in my chest. Her whole body trembled. But she wasn’t completely out of danger.
She forced herself up and walked again without looking back. Her legs trembled and it was difficult to move. She did, but she kept walking. Drenched in her rain, she had to walk anyway.
After some distance from the cave, she couldn’t hold on and collapsed again. And she kept gasping for breath.
Then, suddenly, someone grabbed her by the shoulder. Evil! Terrified, she lay flat on the mud floor.
Someone was standing with something on his back.
Ah, ah.
The focus, which had been so startled that it had been blurred, returned again. Looking down at her was a human male covered in blood all over her.
Seeing that, the warrior’s strength was relieved. She drooped with a dumbfounded face.
“Dragon, sir…”
She called the hero, and it was Healer Bella who rode on his back. She, too, had a half-bewildered look on her face.
However, the warrior did not answer. She just lay flat on her back and was hit by the pouring rain all over her body.
… The rain continued to pour.
· · ·
Eup-. The fairy barely opened her eyes. It was so cold that my body shivered. She instinctively crouched down on her body. When she came to her senses, she found her clothes undressed with only her underwear on.
The hero stood up. It was still early in the morning, but the forest was dark. Fortunately, the rain seemed to have stopped.
Oops.
Bella was sitting next to me. She too was naked, but she was very cold and curled up like a slug.
The hero was momentarily dazed. It felt like my memory was suddenly cut off in the middle. … But the fear she felt in the cave yesterday was still alive in her heart. It was still throbbing in her chest, as if it had been badly burned. It seemed that it would not be erased from my memory for a very long time.
… That man?
The fairy quickly glanced around her. The human was nowhere to be seen. She was suddenly terrified. Then, in the distance, footsteps were heard clattering. The warrior reflexively looked around. Is there anything that can be used as a weapon? … Once, she even grabbed a stone.
And soon someone came into her sight. It was a human male named Kang Ji-hyeok. He was walking with something in his hand. … Of course, he was naked, and his huge cock was hanging limp between his legs.
Oh. The warrior slightly averted his gaze. It was a bit embarrassing for her to see her male cock in public.
“… I am awake.”
Jihyeok approached her without being ashamed at all even though he was naked. Then he squatted down in front of her and showed her what he was holding in his hand. It was a limp snake. He must have had his head cut off beforehand, only the torso.
“Eat something. But I don’t think I can light a fire, so I guess I’ll have to eat it raw… Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. I don’t eat.”
“You have to eat. Anything. Now is not the time to be shy. You know that the hero is in a serious situation.”
He shook Bella, who was still sleeping, awake. Ugh-. She barely opened her eyes, frowning. And she looked at him who had awakened her with her dull eyes.
“Get up and eat some of this.”
“… Yes? Ah, ah ah!”
As soon as Bella saw the dead snake slithering around, she got up in a fright. Then she saw another big, long snake-like thing dangling from Ji-hyeok’s crotch, and she was surprised once more.
Ah-.
She was startled and quickly turned her head away. Then, when she realized that she too was naked, she was startled and, with her legs folded, covered her breasts with her hands.
However, Jihyeok shook the dead snake once with a sad expression.
“I’m ashamed right now and I’m not going to sleep. The situation is serious.”
“… Ah yes…”
“You eat this too. I need to eat something now. How much stamina was consumed yesterday.”
“But, uh, I can’t eat that.”
Bella shook her head as she looked at the snake with a genuinely appalled expression. Jihyeok had a frustrated expression.
“It’s raining and you can’t find other food? … I was very lucky to find this.”
When Jihyeok said that, Bella avoided her gaze and hesitated to answer. In the end, the warrior came first.
“Okay. … Let’s eat.”
Jihyeok tore off the skin of the snake, then gutted it and cut it into thirds with a dagger. Then I washed it clean by shaking it in a puddle.
The hero took it and forcibly chewed it. I couldn’t eat soft things, but as he said, I had to eat something now.
Even the hero-sama ate it, so Bella also closed her eyes tightly and chewed on the raw meat countless times. Oops. As soon as I chewed it, the strange taste almost made me sick, but somehow I chewed it and swallowed it down my throat.
The three finished their meal by stuffing the snake meat into their stomachs. Soon the surroundings brightened a little. But the cold was still there.
Haha
Bella squeezed her arms opposite her with both of her hands and curled herself up as far as she could. It was colder because she was naked. But she couldn’t wear her wet clothes.
“Let’s go for a walk.”
Jihyeok suggested walking slowly. The hero nodded his head saying he understood. Bella had no choice but to follow their opinions.
They each picked up their wet clothes and started walking. The only weapon was a dagger held by Jihyeok. … I had no choice but to hope that the monster would not appear.
All three deliberately avoided talking about the witch’s cave. Because it’s a terrible memory.
However, the warrior could not understand how the three of them were able to get out of there safely. The devil wouldn’t be so merciful.
“I wonder what happened?”
Ji-hyeok, who was walking ahead, suddenly asked as if he had caught a glimpse of what the hero was thinking.
Bella, who was walking side by side with the hero, glanced sideways at the fairy. She was looking at Jihyuk’s back.
“… Do you know that?”
“Yes.”
“How? … You didn’t see any.”
“I only know right after the light fades. When I came out, I came out stuttering.”
Ah.
The warrior was a bit ashamed. After thinking about his own ugliness.
She had left both of them. Even if she couldn’t help it, she couldn’t erase the strange feeling of shame.
“How… , Is it okay?”
“I told you then… Don’t you remember?”
“… I do not remember.”
From the time the light went out to the time she left the cave, she couldn’t remember what he said. She just remembered that she struggled to live.
“I killed him.”
“… Kill?”
She couldn’t understand How did she kill the devil?
“How… ? You didn’t see anything.”
“At the end, right before the light went out, I hit the back. It’s because he’s being careless.”
“… Really? Really? Did you really kill him?”
“That’s why we didn’t come out this well.”
The warrior could not be easily trusted. But again, it was unbelievable. Because they really came out alive.
If the devil had been alive, he would never have let it go. … To say that I was lucky enough to get out was honestly nonsensical.
“Then what are you going to do? Are you going back in?”
“No. Can’t go I’m not going there.”
The warrior was frightened. Bella refused as if it would cause quite a fight.
“I can’t go either. Never go there I will never go.”
Jihyuk laughed.
“Then you should go back like this, but since this is the only thing you’re holding, you’ll have to struggle a bit.”
He sneakily showed the dagger in his hand. I almost wouldn’t have gotten this if it hadn’t been for an emergency tucked into his thigh.
“Doesn’t care. Let’s just go back.”
It was better than going back there even if it was hard. … Besides, I couldn’t even get in there now. Then there must be a fire, but isn’t it a situation where you can’t even light a fire to dry your clothes right now?
“I knew.”
They walked However, my feet were swollen because of the water-soaked shoes. As a healer, Bella quickly got tired.
They sat down again on the moss to rest. Bella took off her shoes and squeezed out as much water as possible. The cold made her toes tingle.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed difficult to walk further like this. First of all, it seemed better to rest while drying my wet body today.
It would have been nice to have a fire wizard at this time.
Jihyeok felt sorry for that. If he did, he would suffer a lot less.
Eventually he dug a very deep and large hole in the ground. Then I picked up a lot of moss, squeezed out the water, and laid it as thick as possible. Then the clothes were laid out and the two women lay down on it. Jihyeok also lay down next to Bella, skin to skin. Then he gathered several layers of leaves, large and long, like banana leaves, over the pit and covered them.
At first, Bella was ashamed to let her stranger’s body touch her bare skin, but as she felt her warmth, she forgot her shyness and clung even more. Her bitter cold made her forget her shame.
The hot breaths of the three slowly warmed the inside of the pit. The two tired women went back to sleep.
Of course, Jihyeok didn’t sleep. It rained and all the monsters went back to their nests, but there are always exceptions.
… I saved it though.
Most of them died, but Hero Elaim was still alive, so he was able to endure this hardship. She later rose to Class A, and she was a power that could not be ignored. She was a bit too good to lose here.
… So how did you solve this in the past?
I was so curious about that. … But now there was no way to find out.
Well, I wish I could have saved it anyway. … Yes, I wish I could have saved it.
Jihyeok somehow positively interpreted this high school student.
