Chapter 1152 – Ep.1150 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
A consciousness that had sunk beneath a deep, deep sleep that could not even be recognized. Little by little, my consciousness began to rise to the surface, as if guided by something.
Ardella’s dead blue eyes, which had been so dazed, came back to life and their blurred focus came back into focus.
“…”
“…”
As soon as I woke up, what I saw was not a face I missed and was happy with, but the face of the damn princess who had trapped me.
Ahhhhh──!!
“Huh!!”
Nuit’s face crumpled with a grip strength that was unbelievable for someone who woke up after days of fasting and mental torture.
Unlike back then when she was no better than a puppet, Ardella slightly loosened her grip and opened her mouth in response to a humane reaction with proper sense.
“… “You smell Smith’s blood.”
“Well, I, I am the master’s new bitch…” … No! Well, that’s not important right now!! Master! “The master is in danger!!”
I was briefly taken aback by Ardella’s sudden intervention.
Nuit, who remembered again that Smith’s condition was competing with her urgency, spoke urgently, pointing to Mimic, who had suddenly widened the distance with her blue face.
“The master was stabbed with a sword──”
“What?”
“Ahh!!”
For a moment, a scream came out of Nuit’s mouth with such force that she thought the bones in her wrist had been crushed.
“Uh, this bitch… !! “Didn’t you say you don’t have time to do this?!”
There was a golden glow in Ilsunuit’s eyes, and she shook off Ardella’s seemingly unstoppable hand with such ease.
“Damn you! Where are you running?! Come here quickly!!”
Beep?!
Nuit caught Mimic, who was trying to sneak down to her bed, with both hands and quickly got down to her bed.
“Wait!!”
“Didn’t you say there was no time to wait?!”
“This… Ugh!!”
Nuit quickly ran out of her bedroom, and Ardella glared after him, got down from her bed, and forced her stiff muscles to follow him.
**
‘Why doesn’t this guy come here…? … ?’
It can be said that her bleeding itself was minimized to the best of her ability because she did not pull out her dagger and instead left her broken blade stuck in it. However, because it did not stop her bleeding, her head started pounding, and her eyes began to blink in real time.
She doesn’t even have a sign now, so she’s really feeling the cold for the first time in almost two years.
‘Fuck, spirit… Come to your senses.’
In order to force my eyelids that kept closing against my will, I desperately held on to the strings of consciousness, even chewing my tongue along with my lips.
The pain from being stabbed by a knife has long since dulled to a tingling sensation shortly after I fell to the floor. However, this was a sign that was not welcome at all.
The dulling of my senses meant that my body was getting closer to death, which was the most dangerous warning that my body could give me.
Good! Good! Good!
As I was somehow holding on to my senses, I heard the slightly wet footsteps of a woman in my ear.
“Master!!”
Not long after, Nuit rushed inside and knelt down next to me and held out the Mimic.
“It’s quiet because my head is pounding──”
Kwaang!!
I tried again to tell Nuit to lower her voice, but a noise that put me to shame continued.
“Heo, heo, heo… I wait… ?”
My mind, which I had barely been able to hold on to, flashed again as if I had been stabbed by a voice that I desperately wanted to hear, but never wanted to hear in the current situation.
“S-sumi… No, you… ?”
Ardella came in, out of breath, and stuttering her words to the point where she couldn’t even remember when.
‘Shit…’
I thought I would end up like this, so I hoped Ardella wouldn’t wake up for today. However, as is always the case in life, the more earnestly you want it, the more the opposite will happen.
“Ar──”
“Stop! Don’t say it… Don’t say it… No, ah… Now, sleep… Oh, mother! What about your mother? I’ll bring your mother right away, Joe, just hold on a little longer…”
Ardella, who had come closer, stumbled on her legs and turned her body.
“… Mimic.”
Bwaii!!
When I called, the Mimic in Nuit’s arms stroked her snout.
‘I don’t think I’ll die…’
She wanted to tell Ardella to calm down and to ask Nuit to take care of her, but her eyelids felt as heavy as a muscle, perhaps because the aftermath of her momentary awakening from meeting Ardella unexpectedly came back quickly.
“Dad, please…” Swallow… Give…”
Beep──
Her consciousness quickly faded away after hearing a trivial and cute sound that did not fit the situation.
**
Gulp.
The Mimic’s mouth, which had been wide open, was closed, and only a red stain that had flowed down Smith’s shirt remained where Smith had been lying a moment ago.
“Ha…”
Nuit, who had once been trapped inside a Mimic, let out a sigh of relief, even as her fingertips trembled in instinctive fear.
I don’t know anything else, but in that pitch-black abyss, all flow stopped.
‘… I don’t have time to be like this.’
Just take a moment to catch your breath.
Nuit remembered the presence of Ardella, who had stumbled out of here a little while ago, and she stood up from her seat with Mimic. She then went out the door to chase Ardella.
“…”
But Nuit had not walked far before she had to stop.
“Well, Smith…”
“Adele. It’s okay, so take a breath first.”
This is because in the hallway not far away, Ardella was found in the arms of Gienna, who did not know when she had returned. And Giena, who was comforting Ardella, who was panicking in her arms, even using a nickname she didn’t usually use, turned her light green eyes directly on Nuit.
The look in her eyes was a warning to stay still and not move.
Nuit was momentarily angry at the fact that she had flinched under the gaze of a mere mortal, but she soon composed herself and waited for the situation in front of them to calm down a bit.
“Ha, ha… Well, so… Smith… Blood, blood…”
“Mr. Smith shed blood.”
“Everyone, get treatment right away!!”
“You are in critical condition.”
Gionna asked and Ardella nodded her head with an entranced look on her face. And Giena hugged Ardella tightly and spoke calmly.
“All right. First, I will check the situation and take action, so Adele can sit here for a moment and calm down. “If Mr. Smith sees Adele now, she will feel uncomfortable.”
“…”
Ardella pursed her lips for a moment and then lowered her head.
Because she knew now that she wouldn’t be of any help at all.
“Great. “I promise I’ll be back soon.”
So I sat Ardella down on the floor and cast a cold gaze towards her sister.
So the two left Ardella and moved to the bedroom where Smith had been lying just a moment ago.
“…”
As soon as she entered and closed the door, Giena’s eyes became even colder at the fishy scent of blood that filled the space.
“Explanation.”
“… “I will tell you exactly what my master told me.”
Nuit, who had the last of her pride, explained exactly the plan that Smith had told me and the situation just moments ago.
“… What is the status?”
“We don’t know much about the human body. But… It didn’t look good.”
“Ha.”
Since she wasn’t one to show her emotions, she let out a deep sigh and reached out her other hand to Nuit, stroking her hair upwards.
It was a gesture to hand over the mimic she was holding in her arms.
She felt painfully a moment ago that she couldn’t win with her power, so she handed out the Mimic without saying anything.
Beep!!
Mimic ran into my arms, shaking her body as if she had been waiting.
“Huh.”
Nuit let out a sigh without realizing it, seeing a completely different reaction than when I stretched out my hand.
“First… “Stay calm here.”
So I went out again, leaving her sister in her seat. She was going to comfort her Ardella, who was waiting for me, and put her back to her bed.
‘Still, you are acting within common sense.’
She was my sister who was secretly worried about what would happen if she tried to retaliate against me by accusing me of being the culprit.
“How did I end up in this situation? …”
As the situation seemed to be coming to an end, Nuit loosened her tight grip and sat down in her seat.
Just take a moment to catch your breath and wait.
She went out, so she went out and came back. Then he spoke to Nuit, who was sitting on the floor.
“Get up.”
“… Ha.”
I was barely able to catch my breath, but as soon as she came, I spoke in a commanding tone, so Nuit let out a short breath and stood up again due to my coercive attitude.
“Choose.”
“… ?”
As soon as she got up, she came in front of me and started saying something I couldn’t understand, so she tilted her head towards me.
In response to Nuit’s reaction, I raised my fist and said,
“One punch to the face. “The rest are five.”
“… “What?”
“Choose quickly.”
“No, why do I have to be beaten by you?”
“You don’t have to get hit if you don’t like it.”
Nuit got upset, so I lowered my fist, which looked surprisingly bland. And he said, glaring at her with his characteristic indifferent eyes.
“Instead, you must fully bear the anger of the two people who are not here right now.”
