Chapter 123
“Let’s go in now. It was a really good time, but I’m sorry. Awesome~”
It seemed that being obedient was the answer. Somehow, I felt like I would miss you too. I shouldn’t be like this… I couldn’t help it that my mind was getting more and more inclined. Maybe it’s a woman’s instinct to be attracted to bad boys…
“Here…”
The first feeling of entering the Forest of Illusion was nothing special. Just like any other forest. Why is it called the Forest of Illusions? I thought it would have been nice if I had asked the leader Elf, whom I hadn’t even heard of. Of course, he wouldn’t have answered.
“Now, 10 years here… Absolutely impossible. I barely lasted a year because I had a knife… Ten years in a forest like this… If I had someone by my side… It would be really nice… Ha~ Katz… I really miss you. The sword…”
It hadn’t been that long and I was already missing Carl. Now I had to be left alone and re-adapt to life in the forest. Fortunately, I had previous experience. Even though she was naked… It was the same in the dark forest when she first opened her eyes. After all, didn’t he adapt well and meet a good male like Carl?
“It would be nice to make some good friends here… Or maybe you have the power to make me stronger.”
Already thinking about getting another man… Maybe I just needed a man to protect me. When I entered the forest, I felt even stronger. Just a man who will love me and protect me.
“Haa… I’m too selfish. I think I was just trying to restrain Guts and Carl for my own satisfaction.”
Thinking about it calmly, I thought it was like that. I just felt like I was falling for a man who loved me easily out of anxiety about the future. Hadn’t it just been before? I don’t even know the name, but I feel a crush on the other person who just mixed bodies… Even though it’s just an elf torturing me.
“Haa… I’ll stop thinking… I’ll have to look around in the woods.”
First of all, the important thing was the clothes to wear. And they needed food and a place to live. Don’t you know how long you can live in this forest? It could be a year or it could be 10 years. As the leader elf said, it could have been 100 years.
“100 years… Never… 1 year. Okay. Even if it takes a long time, I have to go back within a year.”
After entering the forest, I could feel that this forest was different from other forests. And the more I went inward, the stronger I felt that I might not be able to go back. Why? But I couldn’t stop walking.
“I think there is… Something there. Something that draws me…”
As if possessed, he gradually moved into the forest. It was a temptation. It was a temptation toward me… No, toward something foreign that came into the forest…
“Hot?! Wh… What…”
It was a powerful temptation, but I was able to come to my senses in an instant. Of course, it wasn’t because I had a strong mind. It was simply because the temptation was gone. It was a really strong temptation… But it didn’t seem to happen every time.
“It was powerful. It’s a power I really want to have.”
It was a very powerful force. Didn’t you seduce me, who was almost Master Knight? I don’t know what kind of power it was, but with that power, it seemed like it would be easy to get out of this forest. And dealing with Balzar… But I couldn’t feel that power anymore. It was really disappointing, but… I decided to start with my own business. If you live here anyway, you will feel that powerful power again.
“Okay, first of all, I’ll put the clothes back together.”
Somehow, it reminded me of the memories I had with Carl. I really liked it back then… Come to think of it, there were similarities to the forest with Carl. There is also a lakeside nearby and there is also a cave. It was probably a cave where ogres lived.
“I was in trouble with an ogre who lived in a place that looked like that…”
“Kuhhh~!!”
“Hick?! Oh…Ogres? Could it be that ogres live here too?!”
There seemed to be nothing different from the forest of illusions. It was a really huge ogre. It was an ogre that looked similar to the one I saw in the dark forest. The hugeness of it made me sick of it. He quickly climbed a tree and escaped.
“It’s too much. The ogre living in the dark forest was like that… But I think it’s the same here.”
It felt like I was going to urinate for a moment. Fortunately, I never drank enough water, so I didn’t get tired. It seemed that now I would live a life that was like instinct again. It would be nice if there was even a beast like a knife at this time… It seemed like it would be difficult to wish for something like that here.
“Well… Can I live? I don’t even have a knife here… I’m lonely all by myself…”
I can only sleep with a man, but there was no man. Somehow, it seemed that I was going through a crisis situation in the other direction.
“Oh, you’re not going to be like this are you? Find a place to live first. I’ll go get the clothes later…”
It was a bit cold, but the top priority was a hiding place to hide. It’s clothes. Didn’t you live without wearing them for a while? A little bit of discomfort could be tolerated.
“This place…?”
Somehow, I saw a cave I had seen somewhere again. It was such a cave that existed in a rock crevice. It was such a hiding place that looked like Carl and my nest.
“It’s really similar… I used to live in a cave like this…”
I remembered the time I fell asleep in Carl’s arms. I felt like I was going to get really depressed. I had to endure it, but I just couldn’t bear it. Memories that come to mind like memories… I really missed Carl.
“Karl… I miss you.”
“Kreureung.”
“Huh?! Beast…? Like a knife…?”
The howl of the beast came from outside the cave. This cry was really like a knife. But it couldn’t be. Perhaps the beast that dwells in this cave has returned. It was a bit of a crisis, but… I also became cunningly powerful, so I thought I could deal with the beasts without much difficulty.
“Good. You don’t even have a knife anymore… So be careful. I’m probably stronger anyway… But you don’t have any weapons, do you?”
I was worried about how much power I could exert with my bare hands. But wasn’t it possible to generate powerful power by turning mana? To some extent, it seemed possible. If it seems difficult to deal with, all you have to do is jump up a tree and run away.
“Ah…!”
“Kreung?”
It was an old sword.
“That can’t be the case… The sword is on the side of Emilia and the Empire…? Besides, it’s a bit smaller… It’s not a knife after all…”
But the friendly gaze on me really felt like a knife. Somehow, I felt like I could make good friends again this time. I don’t know what it will be like again… But I felt good. It was best not to be alone.
“Do you want to be friends with me?”
“Kreung. I’m sorry~”
Fortunately, it was an animal that understood my words. I was very fortunate. I wasn’t alone anymore. Just like in the forest before, it was as if I had a reliable guardian to protect me. Of course, the power itself was stronger… But it was really fortunate that I had someone to rely on.
“Wow~ Really? Thanks… We’re friends now. In the future…”
It seemed that a little obsessive personality had come out again. But it was unavoidable. It was because of a very disturbing reality. How hard would it be to find someone to rely on in a forest like this? No, the saving itself was a miracle. But to be able to save a friend like this… It must have been luck.
“You will love me too… Like Carl…?”
It seemed like a bit of a premature confession… But she said that, hoping she wouldn’t leave me alone. Then it was a beast that nodded and refused to go. It really felt like a knife.
“I’m so glad… Actually, I was so anxious… In this unknown forest… And attracted to an unknown power, even an ogre… I was worried about how to live.”
“Kyong kong~!”
It was a beast that barked as if to say not to worry. It seemed like you could consider this beast a knife. No, it was like a knife to me.
“Good. I’m sorry Carl… I’ll call you Carl too. You are my sword from now on. How is it?”
“Kreung~ Kyeongkong~!”
It was a knife that barked like it liked it. Somehow, it seemed like they would make good companions in the future. It felt a little strange… But it didn’t matter.
“It’s late today, so let’s sleep together and get clothes for tomorrow.”
“Kreung~”
It was a knife that shook my body like a fawn. It was as if old memories were coming back. Like that, I went into the cave like a knife. As Carl lay down on the cave floor, I went to his side and lay down with him. And I felt a little secure in Carl’s arms.
“Ah… Yes. It’s this feeling. I wanted this comfortable feeling…”
I felt really relieved. It was true that it had been a bit difficult due to the tension and suffering of the male elves. However, as I was hugged like this, as if I was being buried under Carl’s soft fur, I felt more and more comfortable and relaxed.
“Then… Good night. Knife.”
I felt sorry for the real Carl… But I couldn’t help it. Obviously, the real knife was precious and I loved it… But I liked the current knife that was by my side. It was better because it was clear that he would protect me like in the old forest. So I fell asleep in Carl’s arms. The soft hair of the knife brushing against her naked body felt so good. To the point where I want to fall asleep forever…
“Ahhhhh…?”
For some reason, I felt a little nauseous in the morning. When I opened my eyes like that, I saw Carl’s face… And that face was moving up and down as if sweeping my body. Of course, not only the face was moving, but the tongue of the knife was also moving.
“Oh no~ Carl? What are you doing!”
I shouldn’t be like this already… Somehow, this guy must have been my body. However, unlike the knife, when I gave a little soul, it quickly became sullen and fell away. You don’t want to hurt my feelings? I really liked that part.
“If it starts in the morning… I hate it a little. Aren’t we that close yet?”
“Kkiing~”
“Ho Ho. Okay. Instead, a little… If the relationship progresses… I’ll do it. So please be patient.”
After being soothed like this, he started barking in delight. As expected, it seemed to show an instinctive appearance as a wild beast. But it didn’t matter. Isn’t this the first time you’ve experienced something like this? There was a memory like this in the old dark forest.
“Hmm… Something like deja vu…? Ay~ It must be because of my mood. Anyway, I need to start by preparing clothes for today. And something to eat…”
I heard a growl in my stomach, begging for food. His face blushed a little, but he didn’t have to be ashamed anymore because he only had a knife, a beast.
“Kyong kong~!”
“Huh? Follow me? Ah. Something to eat…”
Perhaps because it was a beast, it was the knife that quickly grasped my intentions and led me to the shore of the lake. Really… It seemed like the old memories were coming up again and again. To be able to enjoy this feeling again… I thought it would have been better if I hadn’t headed to the principality at that time.
“The time zone without the ogres is… The same, right?”
It seemed like things were going really strangely. For some reason, I felt more and more like being in a dark forest. No, it seemed like things were going back like the situation in my memory.
