Episode 172. I’m Going to Meet You Now

“……uh?”

The girl’s eyes looking at me shook violently.

“Huh? Huh? That can’t be right?”

Mary muttered, taking a couple of hesitant steps back.

“Father, it’s definitely the Sherwood Mercenaries… … .”

The girl’s eyes widened in confusion.

His voice also trembled like a goat.

“… … .”

I stared at the confused girl without saying anything.

Mary, who had been examining my face for a while with her eyes rolling around, asked in a trembling voice.

“Ashvan… is that right?”

I smiled faintly.

“that’s right.”

The girl’s eyes grew very wide.

“Ha, but how… …? The Sherwood people clearly said that they fell from the foggy cliff… …?”

I asked with a smile.

“Did you say Mary?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right, Mary.”

“Mary. Do you believe in miracles?”

“… … A miracle?”

I explained to the girl with rabbit eyes.

“You heard right. I fell from the foggy cliff with the demon.”

“Really?”

“then.”

“But how are you… alive?”

“You’re welcome. I died once.”

I continued speaking, crossing my arms.

“Who would survive a fall from a foggy cliff?”

“ah?”

Mary’s expression was one of confusion.

“The man who was like a worm and couldn’t even feel mana, let alone aura, died that day. And then, I was reborn with the Heavenly Horse.”

“… … .”

“Do you understand what I mean?”

The girl, who had been staring blankly at me for a moment, spoke stammeringly.

“So… you’re saying that he didn’t survive the fall from the cliff, but rather died when he fell and then came back to life?”

“That’s it.”

“… … That’s even harder to believe?”

I spread my arms and raised my head to look at the sky.

“Believe it or not. This is the miracle of the real name saint.”

“… … .”

Mary said carefully.

“Did you fall on your head?”

“Does it look that way?”

“A little.”

“It was the same before it fell, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Oh, yes.”

Now that I’m joking, is your surprise gone a bit?

Mary looked me up and down with a much calmer gaze and asked.

“Your atmosphere is very different from what I remember. Your eyes are red too. Were they always red?”

“No. Originally, it was a charming black eye. This red eye is a sign of resurrection.”

“Oh, yes.”

“The atmosphere must be quite different from before. We’ve been through a lot.”

“Is it a lot of work?”

“I went on an unexpected adventure in the world below the cliff. It was an exciting, bumpy, and full of twists and turns.”

“… … .”

Mary lifted her brow and looked into my eyes with her round, bright eyes as she asked.

“You really didn’t fall on your head?”

“No.”

“yes.”

“Oh, come to think of it. I take back what I said earlier.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s not your fault.”

Mary tilted her head for a moment, then immediately started to cry.

“As expected… You were chased by a monster because of me and fell off the cliff?”

“that’s right.”

“Okay… … .”

Mary made a strange crying sound.

“But that’s wrong.”

“… … ?”

“It’s not your fault, it’s your virtue.”

“……yes?”

Mary blinked, her face looking bewildered.

In fact, if it weren’t for this guy, I wouldn’t have gotten seriously injured in the first place.

Because the devil was targeting only this guy as if he was in love.

I tried to attack him forcefully to steal his attention, and ended up breaking one of his arms.

Otherwise, I would have easily lured him into the forest, somehow managed to shake him off, and waited for support.

So, what I’m saying is, if it weren’t for this guy, I wouldn’t have fallen off the cliff.

Then I wouldn’t have died once, and the devil wouldn’t have fallen on my head and been stuffed.

I would not have learned martial arts from Cheonma, I would not have gone on an unexpected and exciting journey to the Kingdom of Blake, I would not have met Shushuruta, and I would not have crossed swords with Hakhan.

It means that everything I’ve been through would have never happened.

Hans’ family would have been caught on the run and had their dagger stolen, Shushuruta would have been stabbed in the back by his brother-in-law one day, Boksil would have wandered her whole life and died, the flute-playing magician would have continued to kidnap children, Linda would have continued to poison people in search of friends, Curtis would have followed Linda around as her slave, Hokhan would have remained perfect and bored, tending to the garden, the Black Prince would not have sat on the throne, Count Stavanger would have failed at gambling, and Luthier would not have been able to reconcile with Ashley.

And then, the pitiful man would have returned to his quarters in rags just like any other day.

It is unbearably vain.

So… how can we blame this?

“Thanks, kid.”

That day, I looked at the little boy I had saved and spoke with all my heart.

“It’s all thanks to you.”

Then Mary made a strange expression, as if she was laughing or crying, and then she collapsed and burst into tears.

It felt like I was pouring out all the sadness that had built up over time through crying.

I stood next to him with a smile.

A soft breeze blew through her hair.

It was rewarding work.

* * *

When I showed up with Mary with swollen eyes, Shushuruta immediately scolded me.

“What have you done again?”

“What am I.”

“Did you make the baby cry this time?”

While I was being scolded by Shushuruta, Linda quietly came over and sniffed around.

… … It’s not even a dog.

A frightened Mary hid behind me.

I held the guy’s head with one hand to keep Linda from getting any closer, then looked at Shushuruta.

And he admitted it humbly.

“Yeah, that’s right. I made this guy cry.”

Shushuruta’s eyebrow rose to one side.

“What?”

“I am a sinful man who has made many girls cry and has ended up making this guy cry too.”

Shushuruta glared at me.

“It’s a boast.”

I nodded.

“I’m bragging. I’m not crying because I’m sad.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

“Let’s talk as we go. We have a long way to go.”

As I said this while boarding the carriage, Shushuruta looked at Mary.

“Is this guy going too?”

“okay.”

I answered as I grabbed Mary’s hand and pulled her up onto the carriage.

“You are a new companion.”

Shushuruta was just staring blankly without getting on the carriage, so I nagged him.

“What are you doing? Get in quickly.”

Shushuruta glared at me like I was a little kid.

“… …Why aren’t you holding my hand?”

“Are you a kid? What kind of guy is that, jumping around on trees like a squirrel?”

“Catch me too!”

“Be quiet. Get on quickly.”

“Catch me!”

“Swoop.”

“… … .”

As soon as we made a sound, Shushuruta grumbled and climbed onto the carriage.

It was weird to begin with, but it’s only getting weirder. How is it that there isn’t a single normal person?

There is a saying that if three people go together, one of them will definitely be strange, but here, all three are strange.

I couldn’t help but sigh at the sad reality.

I asked Linda as I took the fat bag she was holding with both hands and placed it on the carriage.

“Linda. Did you get a good purchase?”

Linda nodded vigorously.

“Yeah! I bought a bunch of other things besides beef jerky.”

“Okay. Let’s leave quickly.”

I said this because even though I had loaded the bags onto the carriage, this crazy guy wouldn’t leave and was just staring at me blankly.

“What are you doing? I told you we have a long way to go.”

“Devil, just hit me in the face.”

“……what?”

Why is this guy doing this again?

Linda stuck her face out and urged me to fuck her.

“Hit me once. Quickly.”

“Me too.”

I thought it would be faster to just do as he asked rather than say anything, so I hit him lightly.

match.

“Okay?”

Linda shook her head.

“No. Harder!”

“… … Harder?”

match!

“Not this! Harder! Really harder!”

“Era.”

Crack!

Linda’s face turned to the other side.

A soft laugh is heard after a moment of silence.

“… … Hehe.”

Linda muttered, caressing her red, swollen cheek.

“It’s warm.”

I said, clicking my tongue.

“You crazy bastard. Hurry up and get the carriage started.”

“huh!”

Linda hurried back to the front of the carriage.

I reassured Mary, who had a surprised expression on her face.

“He ate a lot of poison, so he’s a little out of his mind. Don’t eat anything he recommends.”

“Oh, yes.”

Linda, who was ready to leave, asked as she climbed onto the coachman’s seat.

“Where are you going, devil?”

At Linda’s question, I looked at Mary.

Because Mary is the guide to the destination we are heading to now.

“Oh, yes. Go out through the east gate and follow the road for a while. I’ll tell you when the road forks.”

“Okay! Here!”

Hehehe!

The carriage began to roll along with the sound of horse hooves.

I don’t know why, but Shushuruta was staring at me with a somewhat displeased expression, so I answered him personally.

“There you are, burglar cat. What are you looking at?”

“Where are you going now?”

“First of all, let me start with the report. Have you found out where the Sherwood guys are?”

Shushuruta shook his head.

“It’s one of two things. Either they’re hiding and moving around secretly, or the Thieves Guild here is shabby. I think it’s the latter.”

“hmm.”

It was a convincing answer.

I was amazed at how thorough, systematic, and secretive Blake’s thieves’ guild was.

Shushuruta, on the other hand, seems shocked to see the reality of the Thieves’ Guild here.

“I can understand how shabby, shabby, and secretive this is. But how come the Thieves’ Guild isn’t united? It seems like they have a separate base in each city. And they don’t even share information with each other. What on earth are they doing? Why on earth did each branch declare independence? They can’t boast about their superior information. You guys are so stupid.”

Shushuruta was beyond surprised and got angry at me.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“I couldn’t stand seeing you babbling about trivial information, so I just slapped you in the face. There is no valid information.”

I nodded.

“You worked hard. It’s good to feel refreshed.”

Mary asked me.

“Is it okay if it’s cool?”

“yes.”

“why?”

“Because it’s cool.”

“aha.”

After making the innocent mountain girl understand, it occurred to me that we hadn’t introduced each other yet.

At that moment, Shushuruta pointed at Mary and asked a question.

“Now, can you explain to me? Who is he, and where are we going?”

Nice timing.

I pointed to Mary and introduced myself naturally.

“This is Mary. She is a pure mountain girl who saved me from a terrible demon before I fell like raindrops from the foggy cliff. I am the savior of this girl’s life, that’s what I’m saying.”

Mary raised her hand awkwardly.

“Oh, it’s Mary.”

“… … Shushurutada.”

Linda shouted from the front, perhaps hearing the self-introduction.

“I am Linda!”

Mary also answered loudly.

“Yes! Nice to meet you!”

I advised you.

“Don’t be too friendly with that guy. You see he’s not in his right mind?”

“yes.”

“I also lose control sometimes, so be careful.”

Shushuruta muttered, snorting.

“Who is telling whom to be careful?”

“What?”

I had a staring contest with Shushuruta for a while.

Mary stepped in and stopped them, as if she thought they were really fighting.

“Don’t fight.”

I said, glaring at Shushuruta.

“You’re lucky, thieving cat.”

“Who has anything to say.”

I pointed to Mary and explained.

“The place we’re going to is Salos Village. It’s a rural village located in the far eastern part of the Kingdom of Maia.”

“Hey, I told you it’s not a rural area!”

“Cancel. It’s not a remote village, but a rural village located in an overwhelmingly remote area, tucked away in a corner of the eastern end of the Kingdom of Maya. This will be the hometown of the charming mountain girl.”

Mary blushed at my words.

Shushuruta, who was looking at the sight with some displeasure, said.

“Weren’t you going to find your mercenaries? Why were you there?”

“Why?”

I answered with a snicker.

“That’s because there’s a devil in human skin there.”

“… … Demon hand?”

“A man whose hobby is cooking.”

“… … ?”

colon.

I’m going to meet you now.
