Chapter 278 – Ep.277 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
“… Please.”
“… Poetry… Come out.”
Siron’s tightly closed eyelids fluttered at the voice calling him.
“Shiron. Wake up.”
“… Yes.”
Giena’s voice pierces my ears clearly.
Siron furrowed her brow and opened her eyes. I saw a familiar ceiling. The bed is soft and the blanket is warm. As she had slept early, both her body and mind were refreshed. Nevertheless, Siron’s face when he woke up was not good.
‘Fool…’
When she woke up, she felt the cozy warmth that always embraced her and gave her peace of mind and body. I couldn’t feel that warmth right away.
It’s only been one day since Smith left. Siron already wanted to see Smith.
“I prepared breakfast. “Let’s come down quickly, eat, and then go to the guild.”
“… Uh.”
Siron washed his face dry while lying down and then stood up. And she took a quick look around.
A bed that would normally be full. But now, all that Siron could see was an empty space.
“What about Kernax?”
“I’m having breakfast.”
“Tsk…”
Siron clicked her tongue and got off her bed. She left the bedroom with Gienna and came down to the kitchen.
Siron sat down in her empty seat and blinked her eyes.
“Where has this bitch gone?”
I answered her question by putting on her plate the beef stew that Smith had prepared before he left.
“It’s down in the basement.”
“Underground? “What did you go there to do?”
As the basement was used as Smith’s personal studio, they never entered the basement for private purposes unless Smith called them directly. But suddenly, when I heard that Kernax had gone underground, curiosity arose that I had never known before.
“Please eat breakfast first.”
“… “I was planning on doing that even if I didn’t say it.”
Siron glanced behind her and sat across from her so that I could nag her at any time. She looked at me and sighed briefly. And just as Siron had finished the whole plate of stew, she came up from underground to see Cernax.
Hanging on her waist was a crude sword that I had never seen before.
Siron asked, narrowing her eyes at that.
“What is that?”
“As you can see, it’s a sword.”
Cernax responded with a look on her face that asked her what she was asking, and Siron frowned and asked again.
“Who is asking because they don’t know it’s a sword? “You’re asking where it came from.”
“I actually have a lot of swords.”
“You must have had it.”
“Umm…”
Cernax averted his gaze at Siron’s sharp point.
It was like that. She sold off her numerous sword collections to pay off her debts, and most of the money went into Smith’s pocket.
“… “Did an idiot make this for you?”
“Oh, no.”
“That’s right. That’s right. Fuck. Hey. Come on. “Bring that to me.”
“Oh, didn’t you say no!!”
As Siron rose from her seat and approached, Cernax began to retreat behind her, breaking into a cold sweat.
Siron clicked her tongue and spoke.
“We’ve told you many times, but you can’t lie well. “It’s all on your face.”
“I don’t lie…”
Wow!!
“… !!”
“What…”
Siron and Kernax, who were trying to keep each other in check, frowned at the deafening roar. But the roar didn’t stop there.
Wow!! Thud!! Wow!!
Every time a loud noise struck, the ground shook and all the furniture in the house, including windows, tables, and chairs, moved noisily.
Siron and Kernax looked at Giena with stiff faces as the roar and shock continued without stopping.
After receiving both of their gazes, she opened her mouth.
“I don’t think the situation will change if we go, but… “Let’s go first.”
The three left the house and ran towards the source of the sound.
-Ugh!!
―Poetry, divine punishment, divine punishment!!
-You crazy bitch!! Stop fucking running!!
Citizens screaming and running away with faces filled with fear.
The security guards who were supposed to protect the citizens and maintain order were also in a similar state.
“I guess it’s easy for the kids to make a living.”
“…”
Siron did not recognize Kernax and looked back at the fleeing soldiers and frowned, while Kernax gritted his teeth as he remembered the faces of the soldiers who had quietly passed by.
Kwaaaaang-!!
“Tsk!!”
“Okay…”
My eardrums shook as if thunder had struck right next to me.
I also frowned at her face, similar to the two moaning.
‘I don’t feel alive, but… ‘This is difficult.’
She broke into a cold sweat as she felt two energies colliding at the source of the sound.
Geena. As far as she remembers, there is no one in this city capable of mediating between the two people currently clashing.
She was running with two people, so I raised my hand when I sensed another presence in front of her. In response, Siron and Kernax slowly slowed down to match my stride.
“For a moment. “Stop.”
When the three of them slowed down and entered the southern street, Ardella appeared in front of them and blocked the road.
As soon as they saw her face, Siron and Kernax realized who the main culprits were that had created this commotion.
Amela and Ardel.
I don’t know what happened between the two, but everyone knew that Amela hated Ardel so much.
After realizing the identity of the culprits and confirming that they could not stop it, Siron immediately erased the ongoing commotion from his mind. Instead, she focused her attention on Ardella, who appeared before her and smiled awkwardly.
“What is her sister doing here?”
“Hmm.”
The corners of Ardella’s mouth, which had been smiling awkwardly, slowly turned into a half moon. Cernax, who was standing next to Siron, glanced at Siron with her slightly sad eyes. Siron completely ignored Kernax’s gaze.
“Hmm. “I came to see your faces for a moment and to take Kernax away.”
“Ah… Yeah~?”
“… Hmm?”
Ardella blinked her eyes blankly, looking at Siron’s suddenly tilted head. Kernax, who was standing next to her, fell two steps from Siron’s side, spitting on her dry lips.
“Okay. Yes. Hmm… Okay. With her sister, with this guy, with that lady…”
“… Siron?”
Ardella called out to Siron several times with her questioning eyes, but Siron only smiled somewhat crookedly and did not respond to her questions.
“… “I think it’s over.”
As she was concentrating alone, the sound stopped and she sensed the energy of the two of them distancing themselves from each other, and she informed the three.
Ardella, who was quite taken aback by Siron’s sudden change in attitude, nodded after hearing what I said. She looked at Siron and said,
“Let’s go.”
As soon as Ardella finished speaking, her horse passed her as if running, so I ran right up next to him.
“… Cernax.”
“Yes.”
“Did I say something wrong to Siron?”
“Umm… “Let’s go now.”
“… “Sure.”
Ardella still had doubts about Siron’s sudden change in attitude, and Kernax quietly followed her.
**
“…”
“Shiron. Dust gets into her mouth.”
I approached Shiron, who was standing with her mouth open with blank eyes, and gently closed her chin. She then turned her gaze to look at where Siron was looking.
‘They are monsters.’
First of all, the place where the guild building should be is empty. No, not only was the building gone, but a deep hole was dug around it, as if an archmage had dropped a meteor.
If that were all, Gienna wouldn’t have been very impressed. That’s something she can do as much as she wants.
What made her so amazed and amazed was that the landscape was divided as if someone had drawn a line for her.
On one side, it was covered with blue ice and white frost as if it had been exposed to hundreds of years of cold snow, and on the other side, dark red liquid was boiling on the floor as if a volcano had erupted and lava had flowed, and the building and floor were filled with flames reminiscent of the sun. It was sticking all over the place and burning.
Giena’s eyes naturally turned to that border.
Ardel stands with her arms crossed under her chest, not looking any different from when she saw her in the fortress.
Opposite her, a few steps away, Amella stood with a somewhat happy expression on her face, her long sword draped over her shoulder.
“Okay… Mother.”
Ardella approached her before she knew it and swept her face down with one hand, saying, ‘I guess cleaning it up will be a job…’ …’ She muttered.
“Sister!!”
At Siron’s shout, Ardella was shocked and turned her head. But when she realized that Ardella wasn’t referring to herself when she said ‘sister’, she fell down again.
Amela, who was smiling heartily as if something happy had happened, turned her head and looked at her. She smiled at the sight of Siron standing there looking at her like a scared puppy and put the sword on her shoulder into her scabbard and took it away. And the moment Amela sheathed her sword, another change occurred.
Hua Aak!
The flames that were creating a haze that distorted the space behind her expanded in size and instantly seeped into Amela’s body.
Taaak-
Ardel, who was watching, lightly snapped her fingers. With just that, the huge ice flowers blooming behind her turned into powder and scattered in the wind.
Only after the threats around them had disappeared did the four people who were far away approach Ardel and Amela, stepping on the messed up ground.
“Sister… !!”
When they were about halfway, Siron passed Ardel and ran towards Amela. Siron immediately latched onto Amela’s arm and brought her hand to her mouth, gently pressing her lips to hers.
“No matter how much I hate it… !! “What did you do?!”
“Oh, what do you say? “It’s more disgusting than that, so don’t cling to it.”
Amela waved her arms away, pushing away her syringes, as if she were swatting away flies. She then lifted her ear with an annoyed look on her face and pointed her ear toward Ardel with her hollow finger.
“I think there’s some misunderstanding, but it wasn’t me who started it, it was that bitch who started it first. And Siron. I’m not a bitch like you who just jumps in and stares at me when my eyes roll. Should I just grab it and throw it away?”
“…”
“Your expression is very dark?”
“Oh, no… It’s not that hard… Yo. This.”
Siron secretly turned her head and took a few more steps back, and the other three also arrived.
“Cernax.”
“Yes. “My lord.”
Kernax, who was standing behind Ardella, tensed up and answered.
Ardel asked, staring at Amela.
“Did you understand everything?”
“Yes. “I understood everything.”
“Is it so. “Then let’s leave right away.”
“Yes. Yes?”
“Mom, wait…”
Kernax and Ardella were quite taken aback by Ardel’s sudden behavior. However, Ardel passed by the embarrassed two and left.
“Hmm… Poetry. “First of all, I don’t know why you’re so angry, but let’s meet later and resolve it.”
Ardella hurried after her mother.
“Well, then… “I will go.”
Kernax bowed awkwardly and left after him.
Siron glared at the three people who were quickly moving away, then turned her head again and opened her mouth.
“What on earth happened…?” …”
Shiron, who was looking up at Amela, suddenly closed her lips. Her gaze never left Amela’s neck.
Amela’s neck was adorned with the same ornaments that her lover had placed on her own.
Ah Mela didn’t say anything this time despite Siron’s blatant gaze at her.
Giena, who was watching the two from a step away, asked Amela.
“How did you come into conflict with Count Ardel?”
“What…”
In response to Giina’s question, Amela was conscious of their gazes and secretly caressed the token decoration around her neck, recalling the events that had happened just a few minutes ago.
