Return， Control， and Eat 229

Chapter 229 – Rudy

“Hold on, both of you.”
“Brother, look out of the way.”
“Wait a minute, brother.”

Contrary to expectations, the two put the third gear in at once.

They somehow managed to get in between the two before it happened, but neither of them showed signs of calming down, probably because the fuse had already been lit.

Whether it was Carol or Eunseo, they had nothing to do with this kind of love fight, but now, if they didn’t have eyes to see, they were ready to bite.

It’s okay to be my girl and I can’t give up her younger sister’s place.

It is a standard that you do not know.

“Stop.”

In the end, Se-da, who intervened because she couldn’t see it, issued a strict order.

It was a short statement, but it is a word that no one can easily go against.

Eun-seo, who has been with her for quite a long time now, as well as Carol, who borrowed terrifying magic from Se-da, are well aware of her status.

Both of their bodies stiffened.

“Are both of them sane? This is a battlefield. The commander-in-chief, who should be an example, and the new superior, who has no trust yet, should show rudeness, what will the soldiers believe in and give their loyalty to you?”
“…Eww.”
“Sorry.”

At this time, the charisma that Seda exudes makes her realize that she is gifted with her talent as a ruler of others.

If you give a command with a slightly low yet clear voice while standing in a firm posture as if rooted, the listener will follow it without realizing it.

“Thank you for clearing things up.”
“You’re also a problem. I don’t think about the future, so I don’t think this kind of problem will happen anytime. I urge you to reflect and improve.”
“Sorry.”

But I feel like most of these problems were caused by you and Elroy… Is it kidnapping or confinement? Or taking a strange drug.

Seda asked if she could get the elixir that Elroy had been stabbed by her mother while driving just a moment ago.

However, who would point out such a thing to Seda, who has become a solemn instructor mode without pretense.

In the end, due to her mediation, the war of nerves between Carol and Eunseo ended in misfire.

It’s a little unfair, but I have to be honest with you for that. Because now wasn’t the time.

“Princess. Have you calmed down?”
“Yes, sister. I’m sorry for getting excited easily.”
“No. Such passion is the source of our pyromancer’s firepower. Always keep your cool, but cherish the fire in your heart.”

The lute comforts Carol, who has become sullen.

There is also the same flame mage, and they seem to have become very close thanks to protecting the territory together for the past few weeks.

Did she become like an older sister to Carol, who still lacks a lot of experience?

At the same time as being grateful to her, I feel a sense of deprivation as I feel that I have been deprived of my role as her brother.

Punishment or reward?

Come to think of it, you don’t have to choose just one. Let’s give them both later with bullpatta pregnancy sex.

“Still, today’s performance is very satisfactory. Even if I burned less, it was more than 100? As long as I wasted this much miasma, no matter how ancient the beast was, it wouldn’t be small.”
“It’s really like that. I didn’t expect to rush the troops so defenselessly.”
“Come to think of it, you guys were ambushing here, right?”

Carol and Lute started attacking right after the beasts’ attack began.

It was an impossible speed if he hadn’t been waiting with the corps nearby from the beginning.

Did you know in advance where they would attack?

It was Carol who answered the question.

“Well, I’ve known for a few days that one of them has approached the waters near here. It’s so huge that I can’t help but get a detection spell.”
“Near sea? Isn’t that too broad?”

If he moves the huge body just a few times, the location changes by several kilometers. It would be difficult to pinpoint a location based on such information alone.

Even the corps had to be put on standby, so it would be almost impossible to change formation immediately.

Then Carol and Lute smiled proudly.

“We trusted him.”
“?”
“While fighting the beasts, he realized that they were cunning and cunning creatures. How many times did he get stabbed in the back of the head?
“Wide sandy beaches, gentle and wide shores, abandoned houses and windmills that are perfect for hiding from ranged attacks. This is the most suitable place to land in the area. Of course, the ancient beast must have recognized that.”
“So, I waited while hiding with the corps, and sure enough, my prediction was right.”

Carol explained lively, and Lute explained alternately with a calm but relaxed expression.

You took advantage of the high intelligence of ancient beasts. I became a seasoned hunter before I knew it.

“Hehe… Anyway, I gave you a proper shot. You’re not a Siberian man only if you’re being hurt.”
“Master, the princess was eager to honor the souls of those who were sacrificed by leading this battle to victory. You haven’t slept well for the past few days.”
“Oh sister…! What should I do if I say that!”
“You both did well.”

I stroked the hair of both of them.

Carol’s redemption and lute’s redemption. Red and blue are always a good combination.

“If he doesn’t care for the people, he can’t be called the owner of the duchy. My brother is happy.”
“I’m not even the official heir yet… And my older brother is equally a candidate for succession.”

Even if she said that, Carol, who was happy with the compliment, twisted her body.

I smiled contentedly as I listened to a voice that was shy but couldn’t hide its joy.

I want Carol to lead the family instead of me even after the beast is defeated.

I have no intention of passing on my successor, but I do feel regret that the things my mother and ancestors have built will end in my generation.

I am a man unfit to shoulder such a grave responsibility. It doesn’t even fit my temper.

Even at a young age, she can trust and entrust her manor to Carol, who has an extraordinary sense of responsibility and hard work.

So, for the sake of her sister’s future, let’s solve the beast problem neatly.

After such a long reunion, we headed to the nearby Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.

In the Siberian Territory, where wild beast disasters are very frequent, places that can be used as countermeasure headquarters are prepared in every corner of the region.

The brigade, which consisted of half of the standing army and half of the reserve army that was called up temporarily in case of disaster, was also formed around this place.

Originally, there should be a procedure to look back on this battle and weigh the achievements and losses, but at my request, I decided to start with something more important.

First of all, I said from my heart that I intend to completely subdue the beast.

“Lord, lord. Are you serious…?”
“Without borrowing the help of my sisters…? It’s too reckless!”
“It’s a bit reckless.”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult? Alpha and Beta, if you want to instantly kill either of them in one hit, even if you and I work together, the firepower isn’t enough.”

That’s because it’s that big.

Even the first Siberian Duke, who roasted the two and gave them trauma, couldn’t stop the fugitives in the end.

From a giant body that transcends the limits of living things to living in water.

The life force of the twin ancient beasts is truly formidable.

“I’ll take care of the finish. You, along with Liliana and Eunseo, prevent collateral damage. The most serious thing is how many baby beasts they bring.”
“I heard you did it on your own… Then how are you going to call them?”

Calling the bastards.

I can confuse and summon beasts by altering the state of miasma, but I’m not sure if it will be effective because Alpha and Beta are so big.

It is like the poison of a puffer fish that kills forty people but not a single baleen whale.

So the best thing is to come close to the shore from their side.

“I’ll take care of that too.”
“…”

The women frowned at the fact that they spoke in a informal manner, but they could not help it.

Even if I tell them why, they won’t understand.

I’ve said everything I can say now. My business is over.

Anyway, this hunt will be almost alone.

“Then I go to bed. I’ve been driving for two days and I’m sleepy.”
“Brother, if you just say that and leave…!”

It won’t be tonight when Alpha and Beta will finish reorganizing and decide to land.

Considering their prudent and cunning nature, you’ll want to act after at least making up for the lost pups.

So, shall we get some rest tonight?

Carol prepared lodgings for me, but she said no, and she gave way to the women. It’s me, it’s enough to stay in the tent I brought in the car.

But there was already someone in the tent.

“Knight!”
“Rudy. What’s the matter?”
“I’m hungry, so I’m going to boil some ramen… Hehe. Would you like to eat with the driver?”
“Is it so?”

Rudy smiles shyly like a child caught trying to play a prank.

Okay. It’s when you’re hungry. I am also a child who eats well.

It’s a coincidence, but it worked out just fine. Because I had something to say when I was alone with Rudy.

After a while, when the ramen was ready, I raised my chopsticks and said. Of course, it was about marriage.

“…So when the hunt is over, we’re going to hold a ceremony here. You guys should do it before you’re full.”
“Are you married?”
“Huh.”

In fact, it was much more comfortable than talking to Wolf Dance or Jia.

Rudy is as innocent as a child, and she likes me very much. Although she was rather worried that she would open her eyes wide and say, ‘What’s marriage?’

Rudy didn’t ask that.

“With me? Huh… Why?”
“Huh? …Well, you’re mine. I just do what I feel like.”
“That’s right, knight.”

So when an unexpected question came up, I was a little taken aback. I wish I could ask why

Rudy’s expression when he said the next thing was so stiff that I had never seen it before, so I was surprised a second time.

“I know everything I know. Isn’t that a trash bitch? You can’t wear something like me.”

Rudy is a woman closely linked to the past I want to forget. I had forgotten about it for a while.
