A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard - A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard chapter 19

019. As if something is about to happen

A leisurely wind blows past the ridge and reaches a temple in a deep valley.

A place where the river flowing down from a high place evokes a good resonance as if it symbolizes tranquility. The wind blew without fail even in the place where the highest rank among the practitioners of the temple was training.

Huwoong-

“Hmm?”

At first glance, the man who seemed to be bruised while watching the flowing river reacted to the passing wind.

“This is…”

The wind spoke and whispered to him. That an extraordinary event had occurred. The man had a serious expression on his face.

‘It’s something I can’t ignore.’

Get up from your seat. I don’t know how long this has been. Countless years have passed since I started training.

He unexpectedly completed his training, but he didn’t look happy or disappointed at all. On the contrary, he showed impatience to get out quickly.

‘This level of work can’t be left to young guys for a long time.’

Until now, I have heard numerous news in one sitting. For a very long time.

Even from what he heard, it was judged that what had just happened was not serious.

‘By the way… I said a black-haired woman and a white-haired man.’

Among the two, the culprit in this case is. The man replayed the impressions of the two of them in his head and quickly moved on with her.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen a dimensional threat.’

* * *

As always, the place where the two of them were together was the study. While each of them was doing their own thing, Selene made a rather unexpected proposal.

“Would you like some tea?”

“Ah… yes.”

In fact, I often drink tea. It was safe to say that it was a daily routine. However, since it was still too early to call it that time, Endymion nodded his head while being puzzled.

“Outside.”

“…….”

It’s outside…. Endymion had many thoughts in his mind. Aside from showing strange symptoms by doing strange things at night, he had even been warned openly a few days ago.

‘But rather than before, it seems that going outside is more free?’

You can’t go out anyway… What does this mean? Just looking at what he was doing, it seemed like a joke. However, Endymion was in no position to refuse her offer.

‘If you want to see an opportunity to escape, you have to go outside often, for whatever reason.’

Of course, Selene would be by her side most of the time, but it was his job to create opportunities even in that situation.

“I asked if it was okay to go outside.”

“…It doesn’t matter.”

Maybe she’s asking even though she knows she’ll like it more. In any case, Endymion simply agreed to her question with a smile on her face.

* * *

It was sunny today too. Endymion follows Selene through the gardens. In one hand he held a basket of refreshments.

“There’s a seat ready.”

Selene confidently took the lead. Could this be what she meant when she said that even a dog eats a bite in the front yard of her house?

‘Is it too strong for that?’

It wasn’t a strength that would change while considering positions. Endymion walked incessantly, thinking about such miscellaneous things in the beating sunlight.

Then, before she knew it, Selene stopped her steps, and Endymion followed suit.

“Do you think so?”

“Yes.”

It was a place that would not be short of calling it a good spot. A lot of colorful flowers bloomed around it, to the point where I wondered if I could see all the flowers in this garden from here.

In addition, as if to take a break, the top was covered with a shade, and a tea table was placed under it… Indeed, she seemed to understand a little why Selene was so confident.

‘I was so excited to show you this place.’

A person you don’t even know. Sometimes he’s bloody, and other times he’s innocent, like his hair is in a field of flowers.

Endymion brushed off her thoughts and set the basket of desserts on the table. After a while, the fragrant aroma of tea wafted from the garden.

“It’s the first tea leaves I’ve ever seen.”

“I’m sure it is. It’s new.”

I see. Endymion took a sip of the reddish tea without much doubt.

‘Bitter… Draft poem… And this is fishy for some reason?’

The end taste is fishy. Lately, every time he ate, he had a fishy taste in his mouth, so Endymion was seriously worried about whether his tongue might be the problem.

Meanwhile, Selene smiled a secret smile that was barely visible when she saw him drink the tea without difficulty. Soon, even that is covered by bringing the tea to the mouth.

For reference, her car had a blue tint that you could see if you looked up at the sky.

“That car…”

Endymion belatedly saw it and tried to ask, but Selene intercepted her words in the middle.

“I didn’t like that tea. Well… That tea would be better than this tea in terms of aroma and taste anyway?”

At those words, Endymion couldn’t bear to refute.

Because it was real, except for the fishy taste at the end.

“But the car didn’t fit me. It’s not a waste to rot a nice car. Never mind me.”

“Okay…”

She felt uncomfortable with something, but it was only her heart, so Endymion nodded her head at first. It must be because of the mood. She just brushed it off and moved on.

‘By the way… ‘

Tea and dessert in front of you, and even the bright sun behind you…. All of this was so peaceful. However, it was difficult for Endymion to assimilate with this atmosphere.

He will too….

‘I have to look for an opportunity to escape.’

What was the purpose of her wishing to leave the front door of her mansion in the first place? It was to devise her escape. But resting here with peace of mind would sound too pathetic.

“The surrounding scenery is really beautiful.”

Endymion first praised Selene for something she could be proud of. Whether that was her correct answer, the reaction from her didn’t seem too bad either.

“So…?”

Kuh-hum, a cough that broke out a beat late. It was she who glanced at her Endymion, covering her mouth with her teacup, as if she was worried that she had been too innocently pleased.

“Yes, really.”

Endymion pretended to look around her because she wanted everything at this time, she looked around to see if there was any excuse to get out of here.

‘That’s… ‘

That’s right, I found one.

“…Selene-sama, can I look around for a moment?”

“Where are you talking about?”

I feel like my voice is low, is this also because of my mood? Endymion was consistent for the time being, and pointed her finger at one spot naturally.

“Hey, there’s a very strange-looking tree. Even if you go there for a while…”

I shot as far away as possible. That way, you’ll be able to buy a little more time as you come and go. It wasn’t even for a very stupid reason.

‘What kind of tree looks like that…’ ?’

A hideous tree that does not go well with the green and green grass. It was like reaching out her hand to save her from hell.

“Hmm…”

Selene rested her chin on one of her hands and looked in the direction he was pointing. Then, soon, she starts to see a difference in her black pearl-like eyes.

“If I had to choose that…”

“Yes?”

Endymion inadvertently lifted it up and asked back, and Selene shook her head excitedly, saying she was talking to herself.

“Yeah…you want to see that?”

“I will go alone for a while.”

I try to pretend to be pitiful. I wondered if this nonsensical thing would work, but there was a precedent that worked, so it was ambiguous not to use it.

Selene’s mouth twitched at the smoke in her eyes as she opened her eyes sadly, what if it didn’t work.

“…As you like.”

Permission declined. Endymion was about to get up from her seat with the intention of leaving quickly.

“However, I will go with you.”

“…I will go alone. The tea will cool down after I return…”

It’s not unexpected. However, it was true that it was the worst situation that I desperately hoped would not come. It was only natural for her to be honest that she would go.

‘A slave could run away, but it would be very complacent to set him free.’

She didn’t appear to be that complacent even though she was sometimes clumsy and idiot like Selene.

“Wait a minute…”

Concerned by Endymion that the tea would cool down, Selene acted immediately. The steam that blooms does not decrease. Endymion had a vague idea of what she was up to.

“…Enough. I’ve put a preservation spell on it. Don’t worry, it won’t cool down at all while I’m back.”

“…….”

Yeah, I knew it would be like this. Endymion had no choice but to admit that she was the one who was complacent.

‘Let’s get out of here more desperately…’ ‘

It must be meaningless outbursts. Endymion gave up early.

‘I was just trying to observe a little more closely while walking along the designated path anyway.’

Think positively. Even if Selene accompanies her, the only difference is that she has a slight restriction on the amount of time she was trying to plan.

“…Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

* * *

The two of them headed towards that odd-looking tree. In the meantime, Endymion eagerly rolled her eyes alone, and then, when suddenly Selene and her eyes met, she pretended not to be like that and took off her pretense.

‘I can see everything….’

From Selene’s point of view, it was beyond ridiculous and cute.

‘It seems like I’ve been doing it secretly since before, but… ‘

In Selene’s eyes, these actions were very visible. She said she was not a hukou, and if she added a little self-praise, she could be said to be a hukudo other than human beings. In such a yard, it was really nonsense that I couldn’t notice a thing like that.

‘It’s hard to pretend not to know.’

Still, there was a taste of watching, so I was in the mood to wait and see.

‘It’s disgusting to see the eyes searching for a hole to escape, but… ‘

Still, she’s even cute, so that’s a bit forgivable.

The two reached the tree before they knew it. Endymion blinked and asked.

“What is this tree doing?”

“This is the tree from which the tea leaves you ate earlier come out.”

“…Yes?”

Originally, I didn’t intend to reveal this…. Selene also said that she was startled inside when Endymion first pointed to this tree.

‘Is this the fact that I accidentally recognized that I shared my blood?’

It was really strange. Selene tried hard to hide those feelings, but she pretended not to care.

“Why did you react like that?”

“…No, just surprised…”

Somehow it was bloody. Endymion looked back at the tree with her raw eyes.

‘Is this why it was so dirty?’

Looking at their appearance, they weren’t usually hideous, as if they had been fed blood and raised them.

“Has everything been resolved?”

“…Yes, it is.”

To be honest, I didn’t have much income when I came here. I just figured out where it would be good to explore next time.

Paper weave——

“…This is.”

“Why is that?”

“…….”

As Selene’s expression hardened, Endymion looked at her curiously. Then suddenly, he looks back to one side as if he felt it too.

‘Is that it?’

A distorted landscape. The place where his gaze landed was the direction that was the end of the world, the boundary that Selene had spoken about before.

“Variety…”

Perhaps it was because the good times were interrupted, Selene furrowed her brow nervously.

Soon, a familiar shape slipped out of the distorted border.

“hehehehe…”

When Selene heard the sound of immature, bright laughter, she put her hands on her temples to see if her bones were already pounding.

Haa… After taking in her deep sigh, she exhales briefly.

“A business.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t think I came here to do something about the job I entrusted to you last time… Why did you come?”

The woman who appeared in the distortion of the work she had been entrusted with the last time, categorically denied it.

“I left the full power to you! I just need to tell you what I said then?”

“I know. That’s why it’s more questionable…”

Selene seemed to have reached the limit of her patience, and her eyes were filled with life.

“Why are you here? Tell me about ‘Vesta’.”

At that sharp question, an uninvited guest suddenly visited in a distorted way.

“hehehe…”

Vesta broke into a cold sweat and laughed awkwardly.
