Chapter 838 – Ep.836 Demon Continent
My whole body felt drowsy.
If you could lie down on a cloud, wouldn’t this be what it would feel like?
Is there a separate heaven? You can lie down and rest comfortably──
With a plop!!
“Gurrrr?!”
Not only did I wake up to the cold sensation that hit my whole body, but the spray of water that came from nowhere took my breath away and forced me to strain my buttocks.
The result of frantically waving my arms and legs chasing the sparkling light shining on the swaying waves.
“Puha!! Cough, Cough!! Wow… !!”
I barely made it to land, and instead of air, I vomited up a lot of the water I had swallowed, quickly taking the oxygen I had been lacking into my lungs and sending it out to various parts of my body.
As I barely regained my breath and fell down, gasping for air, a shadow fell over my eyes.
“I don’t think it’s time to die yet.”
“…”
Marie Elle, who had an obnoxious expression on her face that made me want to punch her with my fist, was slightly lowered and looking down at me.
If she had just a little more strength left, I would have poured out all of her curses, which I know are her curses…
“Your eyes are so irreverent.”
What is irreverence?
You set fire to the body of a person who has collapsed from exhaustion, but you can’t praise him just for keeping his mouth shut, but you say it’s disrespectful.
If I could, I wanted to get up right away and slap that obnoxious snout.
“Let me see.”
“…”
As she quietly opened her mouth, unable to open her mouth even once, she squatted down next to my bed, placed her hand on my forehead, and began examining my body.
“I guess I’ll have to stop here for today.”
She kindly tossed my water-soaked bangs to her side and, just like yesterday, put her blade on her side like a piece of luggage.
That was the last thing I remember of that day.
**
… Grumbling.
“Huh?!”
“W-what?!”
She was startled by the sound of fireworks and opened her eyes to see Genoa holding a towel in her hand that she didn’t know where she got it from, and she was glaring with surprise on her face.
[ Master. This is the bedroom. ]
“Uh? Ah, uh…”
Rita came next to her and carefully placed her hand on my half-raised shoulder and placed me back on the bed.
For a moment, I looked up at that familiar ceiling and blinked.
“They said don’t worry… Ugh.”
“Ugh.”
Genoa carefully patted the towel from her forehead to the bottom of her neck with the towel she was holding in her hand. The cold towel, without being excessive, cooled down the heat of her hot body properly, so she didn’t feel too bad.
[Sleep more. ]
“Uh, uh… Okay. That would be nice…”
As soon as her shocked mind calmed down after hearing the explanation of the situation, the mental fatigue she had forgotten for a moment came flooding back and weighed heavily on her eyelids.
… I’m sorry.
But then I heard an eerie sound that heightened my anxiety.
“Hmm, I heard it gets hard when you hit it. “You were awake today.”
“What are you doing?”
Sigh!
At the same time as the sound of something being locked, Genoa fell down on the bed after me.
And I was horrified to see a tiny skewer stick stuck in her forehead.
“Oh, Mariel!!”
“I just let him sleep for a while.”
She, who was holding a large paper bag in her arms, came over and flicked the stick stuck in Genoa’s forehead as if it was no big deal! And pulled it out.
Then, to my absolute surprise, only a very small trace, about the size of a hair, remained on Genoa’s forehead, and there was no blood or anything like that.
“Stop making noise and come here.”
“No…”
Before he could say anything, Mari El came over and climbed onto the bed with her own hands and placed her blade on her side.
What would happen next was obvious without even having to imagine it, so I just decided to accept it instead of resisting nature.
“… I will be back.”
The weather was sunny today too.
**
“Hmm!!”
“Oh.”
Marie Elle, who threw me into the open space she came across for the third time today, was a little impressed when she saw me land gracefully without falling over.
“I heard even slugs have a knack for rolling.”
“… “Aren’t slugs a bit too much?”
“Make noise and fill your stomach.”
I don’t know when she got it, but Marie Elle took out from her bag all the pieces of grilled Hell Cow meat that she had forced into her mouth yesterday.
“For a moment!! “I’m going to eat it, so don’t force it in.”
“Sure.”
I barely swallowed a lump full of an indescribable foul odor and quickly rinsed my mouth with water.
I wiped my watery lips with the back of my hand and gritted my teeth as I glared at Mariel, who was sitting on the tree I had knocked down yesterday and was taking a big bite of a cookie covered in chocolate.
“Hehe, you’re going to hit me then?”
“… “Can I hit it?”
“Anything you can do is possible.”
“Wipe your throat and wait.”
“I just remembered something, so I have to wipe it now.”
She smiled for a while, similar to a grandmother watching her child’s tricks, and then suddenly snapped her neck, which had been attached to her well! She took it off, wiped it with her wide sleeve, and put it back on her body as if nothing had happened, raising the corners of her mouth one more time.
‘I’m sure I’ll get hit…’
She swallowed her promise to give her a real punch and somehow managed to swallow some truly disgusting meat.
And she had to blame herself for finishing her meal too quickly.
“What are you doing? “If you finish eating, don’t run quickly.”
“… “I woke up the devil.”
I knew that no matter how hard I tried, the only thing that would come back was her hot ass harassment, so I had to run like crazy through the disgusting vacant lot with tears in my eyes.
Damn body.
If it were an ordinary person, it would have suffered damage right away, but as this body was reorganized by the World Tree, its durability surpassed that of a human.
Thanks to this, unless it was forcibly broken or traumatized by someone, it was usually possible to heal just by waking up from a good night’s sleep.
Needless to say, my stamina is supported by divinity.
Because of that, even though I was driven crazy the day before and yesterday, my body was on fire, and I fainted, I am now in a situation where I have to run with all my might.
‘But this really works──’
Wow!!
“Wha?!”
“I have time to think about this for the third time and it looks great.”
“If you’re going to hit me, hit me evenly on the left and right!”
“Tsk tsk. You’re even thinking about getting hit. “I still ate it.”
I had to get beaten two more times for not speaking well.
**
“Whoop, whoop…” …”
“I did three more laps than yesterday.”
It’s three turns and my eyes are spinning and I feel like I’m going crazy.
The only thing she could do was prevent the chunks of meat she had swallowed from regurgitating down her throat, but every time Marie Elle, who was squatting next to her, muttered, she could feel her mental strength being eroded in real time.
“Okay then, let’s start the stretching we skipped in the morning.”
“… “Wasn’t it omitted?”
“Haha, I’ll consider that once your body is free of the log.”
They say that when people are having a hard time, they miss their family.
“Uggggguk?!”
I missed my lovely princess so much today.
“As expected, it’s easier because I’ve relaxed.”
“Wow, it’s tearing!!”
But it made me even sadder that the only face I could see now was that pretty devil’s face.
After she finished stretching, she forced me to stand up just like yesterday and threatened to kick my ass, so I had to walk through her clearing again.
Could it be that he forced himself to move his legs, which were shaking precariously as if they would fall down at any moment even in the blowing breeze, one step at a time, and managed to turn two laps?
“…”
“I see you are learning.”
I always made a habit of saying things like, “If I fall, I can’t even die,” And every time I did that, Mariel would tell me that I still had strength left and get me up and moving.
Of course, the reason she closed her mouth now was not because she had learned, but because she didn’t even have the strength left to make a real sound.
“Smith.”
“…”
Our Marie Elle was kind enough to grab her head and turn it to her side as she lay face down in the grass.
“If you want to give up even now, keep your head down. No. Close your eyes. “I think I can do that much.”
“…”
After all, she is clearly the devil.
She barely had the strength to lift her eyelids, so she was barely able to open them, but her eyes were shut.
“I definitely gave you a chance.”
Ah, this is what it feels like to be boiling inside.
Of course, it could be a misunderstanding that arose because she misunderstood my condition.
However, the unlucky look of the corner of his mouth that only raised one side made even the trust he had disappear.
“It’s Smith. “If you have asked me a favor, don’t you think that the minimum you should do is to just trust and follow whatever I ask you to do, even considering the day you granted that request?”
First of all, what should I do with the raised corners of my mouth…
Mariel, who had no way of knowing my true intentions, dragged me forward about ten steps and put me down.
Jump and jump.
The sound of footsteps slowly moving away.
She stood next to a large tree, and then she lowered the corners of her mouth that had been raised to their fullest extent and spoke.
“You better come to your senses before I give up on you first.”
