Chapter 843 – Ep.841 Demon Continent
“Useuuuuu!!”
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
In order not to forget that simple movement, I repeated it in my head several times and steadily moved my thighs, which were gradually becoming heavier.
‘What did I do so poorly?’ … !!’
The running, which started early in the morning, continues until late evening, when the sun sets and the moon rises.
It’s truly a crazy forced march.
[The city will arrive soon, so please be patient. ]
Rita, who was in the lead, looked at me with worried eyes and said that.
Of course, I couldn’t respond to Rita’s words because I had to move my legs to even save my strength to respond.
I just ran with the hope that this damn forced march would end quickly.
**
“Whoop!! “Whoa!”
“Slow down, don’t try to breathe too quickly.”
“Excuse me.”
I don’t know how much longer I ran after hearing Rita tell me to cheer up a little more. However, fortunately, we succeeded in arriving at today’s destination before the moon reached the top of our heads.
As I was struggling to calm my breathing, which had risen below my chin, Ruel came over with a moderately cool towel and wiped the sweat from my face.
Kugoogung!!
While we were being cared for by the two, the gates, which had been tightly shut, made a loud noise and opened wide to the left and right as if to welcome us.
Rita, who had not been seen through the gap, walked out and approached us.
[Hurry and bring them inside. ]
“It’s going to happen even if I don’t say anything, right?”
Genoa held me in his arms like a princess, thinking I could just carry him on his back.
Without a word, Rita turned and headed towards the city gate, and her group, led by Genoa, followed Rita into the city.
‘… ‘It’s nice to see you, but it’s annoying.’
Is it because both mind and body are exhausted?
Starting at the gate, I felt the eyes of very familiar women, but I felt more annoyed and bothered than glad.
“Lily. “I need some water.”
“Ah, uh, yes!!”
Lili, who came comfortably on Toriel’s back, quickly ran to Genoa’s side with the water bottle she had on her waist and handed the water bottle to me.
It was only then that I began to come to my senses as the oasis poured into my parched throat as I breathed in the dry air without any moisture.
**
“Ouch… “Wow, I guess I’ll live a little longer now.”
Thanks to Rita, I was able to stay at the castle of the city’s lord for a night and was able to fill my empty stomach with very spicy and rich dishes along with the excellent hospitality of the female butlers who lived there.
Oh, by the way, the lords and knights are said to have crossed the border forest and are in the islands by order of Ellis, so there was no need to meet separately and exchange greetings.
[Where would you like to head? ]
“Let’s walk a little bit.”
[ Yes. ]
I left the group to rest for a while and wandered around the castle for a while, taking only Rita with me.
“Oh, what? “It’s a garden?”
I found a place filled with flowers of a type I had never seen before and turned towards it with Rita.
“The lord’s tastes must have been quite noble.”
[It is said that he had no choice but to make it because his mistress insisted. ]
“…”
In response to Rita’s immediate response, I just closed my mouth and walked around.
No matter how it was created, the flower tomb, bathed in moonlight and emitting a soft light, was very beautiful.
For me, who was only a one-night guest, that was enough.
“Slowly turning around… ?”
I must have digested everything.
I was about to go back and take a dip in the precious bath, but something fell in front of me! And fell.
“You’re brighter than I thought.”
“… “Please let me hit just one.”
“Guy.”
Marie Elle fell from the sky and handed Giselle, who was holding her side, to me.
“I’ll be waiting for you at the gate tomorrow morning, so come out on time.”
Then, leaving only what he had to say, he rose into the sky again and disappeared.
“Wow…”
“Good job.”
I went inside with Rita, stroking the head of Giselle, who had a pale complexion, holding her in my arms as steady as possible.
**
Wow ──!!
As I immersed myself in the warm water, the fatigue I had been enduring seemed to instantly spread throughout my body.
“… “It can’t be like this.”
After washing my face with water from the bath, I laid my head on the ledge of the bath and looked up at the ceiling decorated with luxurious jewels.
When I first started running, I thought I would stop at all the cities marked on the map.
But it didn’t take long to realize that it was a huge mistake.
As they neared her first city, Mariel tugged Giselle, who had been on Ruel’s back since she ran, into her side.
-You run straight to the next city.
She just said those words and disappeared towards the city with Giselle.
Fortunately, I still had some stamina at the time, so I was able to use my perseverance and arrive at the second city around sunset.
And Mariel, who had apparently disappeared with Giselle in the first city, fell in front of us from the walls of the second city.
Said Mariel, who was holding Giselle on one side and a thick envelope on the other.
-Why are you standing there blankly? Instead of going to the next city quickly.
If you had just said that, I would have exploded on the spot.
However, although my time with Marie Elle was short, she was a vicious trainer who knew my true personality better than anyone else and knew how to deal with me.
-That’s the last destination for today, so make sure you rest comfortably when you arrive.
The moment the word ‘last’ was stuck in her head, the thought of wanting to end this damn forced march rather than getting angry at her filled her mind. As a result, as she intended, she arrived at the third city before midnight and took a break like this. I’m getting drunk.
Of course, I don’t think she’s forcing me to do this just for her own food pleasure.
If she had made up her mind and put her own desires first, she would have stopped by the city alone, like today, with only Giselle as a guide, without having to change her route.
Because she also knows that it is more convenient for both of us.
But why bother bothering me like this?
This is probably because they decided that one month was not enough.
She certainly had a sky-high talent for torturing others, but at the same time, she was not the type of woman who would bully someone for no reason.
Even though she changed her route on her own without consulting her, she accepted it and ran without complaining even though it was hard, to the point that curses came out of her mouth because she knew it.
But after going on a forced march today, her thoughts changed.
‘I can endure it for about a week, but more than that…’ …’
It wasn’t just a matter of her being tired and tired.
As of today, when I leave here, I’m going to go straight to bed and pass out. Then morning will come in an instant, as if she had closed her eyes, and she will have to run like crazy like she did today.
I actually have no major complaints about Mariel’s forced march itself, because I know that if I repeat this series of processes, I will also gain something.
The problem is that the necessary sacred items have not yet been properly designed before entering the system.
Even if she desperately tried to hold back from drowsiness, there was no way she would be able to come up with a proper holy object with her stiff head, and it was obvious that her condition would be terrible the next day.
‘Okay. Just one week… ‘Let’s just endure it for a week.’
It was important to get Ellis to submit, but I left the bathhouse, once again remembering deeply in my heart that the biggest reason I was heading to the island now was to find her wives with whom she had lost contact.
**
The evening of the fifth day after leaving the capital.
Cheeeeek──!!
Also, Mariel, who returned from buying street food by herself, suddenly snatched the map from Rita and tore it in half in front of everyone.
“… “Gourmet food is now done.”
The reason was that the taste of the food and the quality of the ingredients deteriorated to an unbelievable degree as you moved away from the capital.
Said Marie Elle, who was so sick of the poor taste that she could no longer bear it.
“Starting tomorrow, let’s take the shortest route.”
The answer made me cry for a moment.
In fact, maybe I thought too highly of her?
Did that damn devil really force me to march purely for his own food pleasure?
These negative thoughts filled my head, but I did not express my dissatisfaction directly.
[Then, starting tomorrow, we will turn straight to the border forest. ]
It’s true that her quirks are annoying, but thanks to them, I’ve been able to secure plenty of time when I need it the most… I couldn’t be angry because it was true that I benefited in the end.
And just like that, another new morning dawned.
I gave myself a lot of credit for not being angry yesterday.
Wow!!
“Ugh?!”
“Uh huh, no matter how far you run, your feet are already slowing down?”
Every time the whip filled with her magic struck her buttocks, her magic spread throughout her body and massaged my body.
If I had had a fight with her yesterday, I would have been running, squeezing out her tears instead of her moans.
Wow!!
“The faster you run, the faster you can rest, so run quickly~”
A bitch like a wicked woman that even the devil would shake his head at…
