A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 197
Only Noblemtl
Episode 197. To the dear liar
The tiger spirit ran through the air.
I left the lord’s castle, left the count’s city, and flew into a field covered in green.
Then I came down gently on a convex hill.
“… …Wow.”
I patted the dark blue tiger’s back with one hand.
“You’re really fast.”
If I was running in the wind, this guy was the wind itself.
If I ran as if tearing through the air, this guy ran between the winds, following the knots.
It was as if it was a gust of wind.
The wind also seemed to give him strength.
The experience of becoming one with the wind and flying through the sky was valuable to me.
Was the wind not blowing from somewhere, but flowing?
Rather than tearing the wind apart, was it flowing along with it?
Like a flowing river.
I realized that even the wind has its own way of flowing.
A situation where a tingling realization knocks on the upper abdomen.
When you run fast, there are times when you feel strong air resistance.
Up until now, I’ve been running, ignoring the resistance as if tearing it apart…
Rather than just tearing it apart, what if we just let the wind flow along?
If possible, wouldn’t it be better to make your enemies your allies rather than kill them?
A smile appeared on Cheonma’s lips.
[Oh… … Quite.]
Forward rather than backward.
Utility over convenience.
Rough, but sometimes gentle.
“… … How long are you going to hold on to this?”
As I was chewing over the epiphany that had suddenly come to me, Hurd spoke in a prickly tone.
I looked into those purple eyes, resembling the sunset sky glaring at me, for a moment… … .
He then let go of her waist, which he had been holding onto until then.
“Why are you so grumpy? Haven’t you been sleeping? Did you come to me when I was in a bad mood?”
Hurd didn’t answer and just got off the tiger’s back.
Then he glared at me, who was just staring blankly.
“Not getting off?”
I looked back and relayed Hurd’s words.
“Hey, I’m telling you to get down. Get down quickly.”
Hurd was furious.
“You! Red eyes, get down.”
I hesitated for a moment.
“Can you sit here a little longer? The ride is comfortable.”
Soft.
As I was touching the tiger’s back, it turned to me and growled.
Oh, this guy isn’t talking again. Is he a man of few words?
Hurd glared at me with cold eyes.
“Get down.”
“Ugh.”
I had no choice but to get down from the bastard’s back, feeling regretful.
‘I felt like I’d know something if I just waited a little longer.’
It’s a pity.
As soon as I got off, Hurd suddenly grabbed me by the collar and pushed me against a tree next to me.
thud!
His back hit the tree and the leaves fell in a thud.
“What are you?”
Hurd’s purple eyes were emitting a cold light.
“How did you know my name? Why do you have the same face as that guy?”
Immediately Linda’s angry scream was heard.
“What are you doing to the devil!”
Shushuruta was seen quickly catching Linda who was about to rush towards him.
A tiger walked in and stood in the way.
Hurd glared at me without even looking at me.
“Answer me. Before I kill you.”
Krrrrrr—
As if in response, the tiger looked at me and bared its fierce teeth.
“… … .”
I looked into Hurd’s purple eyes that burned like a bonfire for a moment before answering his greeting.
“Yeah, nice to meet you too. How have you been?”
Even though he was grabbed by the collar, I paid no attention and reached out my hand like a polite man.
widely!
Hurd slapped my hand away.
“Get your hands off me.”
“… … .”
I stared blankly at Hurd.
“What the hell is going on?”
“Who are you?”
“Ashvan Sherwood. What do you want to ask?”
“… … Sherwood?”
For a moment, her eyes seemed to glow brightly, and then she suddenly leaned in close enough that our noses almost touched and whispered.
The tone was gloomy.
“Don’t say that name carelessly.”
“……why?”
“Why? That guy… is dead.”
“aha.”
“So who are you? Who are you and do you have the same face as that guy? How did you know my name? Why did you come all the way here?”
“I have a lot of questions.”
“Answer each question one by one. Don’t leave anything out.”
“Okay. Let’s start with that. I asked who you were.”
I replied with a grin.
“Ashvan Sherwood. Back from hell.”
Hurd’s face was distorted.
“You think I’m joking right now—”
Bam!
I quickly punched her in the forehead.
Hurd staggered for a moment as if his head was spinning, then looked at me with his eyes burning brightly.
“you……!”
I snorted and answered calmly.
“What the heck?”
I know it’s hard to believe.
I’m not the type of person to just sit back and take it.
This kid. How dare you refuse my greeting?
Tsk tsk tsk―
An eerie purple aura rose from the guy.
Krrrr!
The blue-black tiger’s roar deepened.
Looking at that sight, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Where did you see this spirit being loved by Mother Nature?
It’s a disaster in itself.
Hurd glared at me with a purple aura in his hand.
Her purple eyes were burning brightly.
“I’ll ask you one last time.”
It was a voice so calm that it was almost chilling.
“What is your relationship with Ashvan?”
There are people who become more calm and collected the more angry they get, and Hurd was one of them.
Judging from his voice, it seems like his anger is rising to the top of his head.
Come to think of it, I should have kicked this guy’s butt a good bit too.
This is because every time I practiced, he would come and play pranks and run away, disrupting my practice.
That’s not all.
He was one of those guys who would always tease me when I came back after getting beaten up by a noble brat.
Their laughter still rings in my ears.
‘There’s a guy who came back after getting beaten up by a thirteen-year-old kid?’
‘And you said it was your first time holding a sword?’
‘This kid. Are you crying? Are you crying?’
‘Hehehe! Hahaha!’
My fist naturally gained strength.
‘… … Rather, I like it.’
I decided to provoke the guy further.
The resolution was immediately translated into action.
I screamed.
“Come at me, you damned shepherdess!”
Hurd looked at me with wide eyes.
“You dare lie to me? You damn noble, you dare to mix with us, the lowly ones, with your noble blood? You toy with us? You think you can get away with it because you’re a little smart?”
“… … .”
“No way! That’s ridiculous! If you really want, I’ll smash your head in and make you like us. I’ll make you feel like an idiot.”
Hurd blinked.
For the time being, he had an expression on his face that said he didn’t understand what was being said.
But that wasn’t a big problem for me either.
“You know what I hate the most? A nobleman? No. A liar? Wrong. What I hate the most is a lying nobleman. You damn fool. Take the hammer. What, a fallen nobleman? From now on, I’ll turn you into a soft nobleman.”
I kept talking nonsense while maintaining the general framework of making people angry.
It was disorganized and had no context, but that was okay.
Because just making them angry is enough.
“Dear liar, it’s time to pay the price. Liars deserve a firebomb.”
“… … .”
“What about the child of sunset? I will give you a blue bruise like the sunset sky.”
“… … !”
“You, Hudmilla Everett. It’s no use refusing. If you’re going to regret it, it’s too late. This place follows the rules of the strong. I’ll drag you away by force. I’ll listen to your excuses later.”
I closed my eyes.
He muttered quietly, holding the sword hilt.
“Come at me, liar. I will show you the price of lying.”
After making all these preparations, I opened my eyes again… … .
“Huh?”
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Because Hurd was sobbing as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Her sparkling purple eyes look like amethysts floating on water.
When I saw the guy’s crying face, my fighting spirit melted away and disappeared somewhere. The strength in my hand holding the sword hilt disappeared.
I muttered softly as I watched her purple hair flutter.
“Huh. This isn’t it.”
“Ashvan!”
Hurd hugged me tightly.
The guy smelled like fallen leaves.
“It’s you! It was you!”
“… … Actually, I’m not Ashvan. I’m a man named Banshua. I have no relationship with Ashvan.”
“You’re alive! You’re alive! How… … !”
“I actually killed Ashvan. I am Ashvan’s enemy. Take revenge, girl.”
“Aww! I’m alive! I didn’t even know that!”
“… … Let go of this. Let’s fight.”
“Boohoo!”
Hurd hugged me tightly and burst into tears.
It seemed as if the tears had been building up over time and showed no sign of stopping.
“Ughh …
“… … .”
The power is so strong that I can’t move.
A situation where your shoulders are getting wet quickly and uncontrollably.
Cheonma chuckled.
[It’s nice to see you, disciple. Making a woman cry.]
“… … be noisy.”
At that moment, a sound of running was heard.
-Oh! There it is!
-It smells good!
-Found it!
I was attacked by the spirits that had chased me all the way here.
Of course, while being held captive by Hurd.
I muttered while being crushed by a spirit master and her spirits.
“… … I’m going crazy.”
* * *
Hurd let me go only after a long time.
When he asked me what happened to my swollen face, I gave him a brief explanation. I decided to tell him more details as we left.
“… … Hmm. I see.”
She nodded as if she was satisfied that she was alive, although she didn’t seem completely convinced.
Meanwhile, I had to make a constant effort to concentrate on the explanation while I was explaining.
Because these damn spirits kept bothering me.
The one who keeps rubbing his body against me, the one who sits on my shoulder and nuzzles his head into the nape of my neck, the one who settles down on my head as if it were his own nest, the one who keeps sniffing and smelling me, the one who keeps putting his head in my hand as if asking to be touched, the one who climbs on my lap and grumbles, etc.
Eventually, I couldn’t stand it anymore and just yelled and chased them away.
“Shit! Get out!”
The startled guys fell down in a hurry, but after a while they returned to their original state.
“No, why are these guys doing this? Did they put honey on my body or something?”
As I was pushing away a deer that was secretly shaking its head, Hurd looked at me with wide eyes.
“Do you see these guys?”
I frowned.
“Is that all I can see? It’s so noisy I could die.”
Hurd’s face became even more pale.
“… … You can even hear it?”
“What are you talking about? It’s so noisy I can’t stand it.”
Hurd asked, pointing to the squirrel sitting on my shoulder.
“What is he saying?”
“You keep nagging me to sign the contract.”
Hurd’s mouth opened wide.
“… … It’s true, right?”
Are you really saying that only I can see and hear it?
I asked Shushuruta, who had been sitting next to me with a discontented look on his face.
“Shushuruta.”
“Something.”
“You really can’t see anything? Can’t you hear anything?”
“hmm…….”
Shushuruta opened his eyes slightly for a moment, looked at my shoulder, and then answered.
“As I kept looking, I thought I could see something faintly… … But I couldn’t hear anything.”
Hud looked at Shushuruta with a slightly surprised expression.
“Can you see it?”
Shushuruta glanced at Hurd with a displeased expression and answered.
“It was so faint, like seeing a ghost,” he said.
“Just seeing it like that shows that you have some talent.”
As expected, at some point, a round, black bird was sitting on Shushuruta’s head, tilting its head.
It was a black, fluffy bird.
Hud muttered, looking over Shushuruta’s head.
“I might sign a contract soon?”
Shushuruta frowned openly.
“What?”
Then he starts to grope his head hard.
The black magpie often wandered around, avoiding Shushuruta’s hand.
I looked at the scene and asked Hurd.
“Aren’t you the spirit that made a contract with me?”
Hurd shook his head.
“There are spirits that don’t make contracts and just follow you around. That guy is one of them.”
“aha.”
I turned my gaze to Linda, who was staring blankly at Shushuruta.
“Linda. What do you see?”
Linda shook her head with a blank expression.
“I can’t see anything. I can’t even understand what you’re saying… … .”
And then Linda, who was all gloomy, started scribbling on the ground with her fingers.
Hurd said.
“That’s how it is. You guys are the weird ones.”
Hurd looked at me.
“You especially.”
“What am I.”
“You suddenly came back to life, filled with the energy of nature? You’re the center of attention of the spirits.”
“I?”
“Yeah. That’s why these guys were chasing you around.”
“hmm.”
Is it because of my internal energy?
I thought it had a different personality from the mana that circulates in other people’s bodies, but now that I look back, it seems to be closer to this one.
So suddenly the spirits that were previously invisible became visible.
Hurd looked at me.
“You don’t plan on signing a contract?”
“contract?”
Hurd nodded.
Then he glanced at the spirits gathered around me and said.
“I think you could sign a contract right now.”
… … A contract with a spirit?
My ears perked up.
