A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 52
Only Noblemtl
Episode 052. Confession of a Madman
* * *
Wheezing!
As soon as we entered the vacant lot, the wind blew.
I roughly brushed back my messy hair and looked towards where the wind was naturally blowing.
The first thing that caught my eye was a landscape that was refreshing just to look at.
A wide open blue sky on the left greeted me.
“Come in!”
Of course, there was a long table in the middle of the empty lot, and at the end of it, it seemed like some guy was waving his hand and brightly greeting me.
That wasn’t important right now.
I trudged to the left cliff and enjoyed the view.
“Wow… … The scenery is… wow… … .”
“… … .”
There was a reason this place was an empty lot.
It was near a steep cliff.
My heart swelled with pride when I saw the beautiful scenery.
“Ugh… … .”
I took a deep breath.
The blue sky seemed to flow into my chest. My chest seemed to turn blue along with the sky.
I looked up at the sky and glanced down at the bottom of the cliff.
It was so dark that I couldn’t see the floor.
Even though it wasn’t as bad as the Foggy Cliff, I realized that if I fell from here, there was a high chance that I would die.
“When did you get up here?”
I just followed Shushuruta up silently without thinking.
Before I knew it, I had reached a height where if I fell I would fall to my death.
I nodded proudly.
“This is the fun of hiking.”
At this moment, someone shouted from behind.
“Come in!”
But I was enjoying the scenery, so I ignored it and continued to enjoy the scenery.
“Wow… Really… … . It’s like a painting.”
“Come in!”
Only on the third occasion did I turn around and glare at the person who had called me.
“Who is it? Who called me while I was admiring the scenery?”
“Me!”
The guy sitting at the end of a long table with all sorts of things lying around raised his hand.
She was a girl with bright green hair that looked like grass, braided into two pigtails.
As for age… I couldn’t guess.
Maybe it was because he drank poison. He seemed older than he looked.
The atmosphere was impressive, as if something was distorted.
I scolded him, glaring at him with a slight frown.
“Is it you? Is it you? Are you the one who interrupted my appreciation?”
“Uh… I… … .”
Only then did she grasp the mood, and she slowly lowered her hand and answered.
I scolded her harshly, as she had finally figured out the situation.
“How pitiful. I am enjoying the scenery right now, so how dare you disturb me, you fool!”
“Oh, sorry.”
The girl covered her mouth with both hands.
While doing so, he moved his eyes around to check my mood.
“… … .”
I glared at her intently.
She looked at me as if she was intimidated, shrank down, and spoke quietly.
“Welcome… … .”
It looked like he was going to repeat that until I accepted his greeting.
I couldn’t help but nod and accept the greeting.
“Okay, I’m here.”
Then she removed her hands from her face and smiled brightly like fresh grass.
“Hello! Sit over there! The tea party will start soon!”
“Okay.”
I went and sat down across from the long table she pointed to.
I sat down and observed the table.
A pure white tablecloth was laid out, and on it were various tea utensils, such as a teapot and teacups, and snacks, such as cakes and cookies.
As I was staring blankly at it, the girl who was watching me from the other side smiled brightly and said,
“I’m Linda! I like drinking tea.”
I answered somewhat coldly, crossing my arms arrogantly.
“Linda?”
“huh!”
“I didn’t ask.”
“Ugh… … .”
Linda shut her mouth dejectedly.
I looked around the tea sets like a curious boy.
Linda, who had been watching me blankly, opened her mouth again.
“Yes! Yes! Devil, do you like drinking tea?”
I answered, still rattling the teapot.
“Well, I like alcohol.”
“Hehehe! That’s funny! That’s fun!”
She was laughing, covering her mouth and saying, “Poohihihi!” as if she found something so funny.
I opened the lid of the teapot in front of me and checked the inside one by one and asked.
“How did they know I was coming and set it up like this?”
“Yeah! Just! I thought you’d come here!”
Linda said, puffing out her chest proudly.
“Did you do well?”
“… … .”
Dalgrak.
I put down the lid of the teapot I was holding and stared blankly at the green-haired girl who greeted me.
It was a look that was just delicious.
How much poison did he have to ingest for his eyes to become like that?
When I stared blankly without answering, Linda leaned forward and asked.
“You know! You know! You killed a nobleman?”
I nodded.
“That’s right.”
“Wow!”
Linda clapped her hands together.
“I was afraid of the royal knights too, so I never thought of killing a noble! Amazing!”
Then she looked at me with sparkling eyes.
His gaze seemed to be looking at some kind of idol, so I felt slightly embarrassed and scratched the back of my head.
“It’s nothing.”
“No, it’s really cool!”
I nodded with a serious face and admitted it.
“I’m cool, huh?”
“Yeah! He’s totally cool! He’s totally handsome! I love him!”
“What… … ?”
I looked at Linda in shock.
“You think I’m handsome?”
“huh!”
“You, you punk. You have an eye for detail.”
“Blood-red eyes! So cool! I want to lick them! Can I lick them?”
“That’s a bit difficult.”
“Oh, sorry.”
When I thought about it, I wasn’t sure whether I should be happy or sad that people said the madman was handsome.
‘How can I accept that he is handsome by the standards of a madman?’
As I was thinking about it, Linda said,
“Devil! I really wanted to meet you! From the moment I heard about you, my head was filled with you! It’s even better when you see me in person! I like you! Oh, can I say that? I like you! Oh, I said it!”
“Hmm. This is seriously crazy.”
I ended up getting confessed to by a madman, but I didn’t feel too bad about it.
“Linda. Why did you want to meet me?”
“Yeah, I guess so! I think we could be friends.”
“friend?”
“Yeah, I am! I’m looking for a friend to have a tea party with!”
“You don’t seem to have any friends.”
“Yeah… that’s right… … .”
Linda suddenly became sullen.
“No one will enjoy a tea party with me until the end. They all die in the middle.”
After hearing that, I fell into deep thought.
‘The Tea Party is… … .’
I guessed it, but it seems to be correct.
This is not your ordinary tea party, this is a poisoned tea party.
‘Should I call it a poison tea party? Or a poison tea party? A tea dog party?’
As I was thinking of an appropriate name, Linda suddenly looked at me.
“Devil, if it were you… … . I think we could enjoy a tea party together.”
Her eyes sparkled with an indescribable madness.
“Can we start a tea party?”
“wait for a sec.”
I grabbed a table that was littered with teapots filled with all sorts of poisons.
My plan unfolded vividly in my mind.
He immediately throws the table he was holding onto upwards, overturning it.
The poisons on top of it fall all over that crazy bitch and shatter into pieces.
The moment the table blocks her view, she quickly closes the distance and draws her sword, slashing.
Chomp!
The table splits in half, and Linda is also split in half.
‘Hmm. Perfect.’
I put strength into my hands that held onto the table.
The moment when you are about to overturn the table.
[for a moment.]
Rattling.
The tea sets on it clanked roughly as the table was slightly lifted and then placed back down.
A few of them that were on the ground rolled over and broke into pieces.
On the other side, Linda looked at me with wide eyes.
I said shamelessly.
“The table was slightly tilted. I leveled it.
“Oh, really?”
She blinked in surprise, then waved her hand to one side.
Then a man wearing a mask approached from somewhere.
He was a man wearing a neat suit suitable for a tea party.
“Did you call?”
The masked man bowed slightly and asked politely.
Linda said to the man.
“The table wasn’t balanced.”
“… … That can’t be true. I’ve said this many times―”
I shouted.
“Shut up! Are you going to blame me for the broken teacup? You vile, vicious, cruel villain.”
At my words, the man looked back and forth between me and Linda with puzzled eyes.
“Oh, no. I’m sure I’m perfectly balanced. Trust me, Linda Ni—”
Before the man could even finish speaking, something flashed between them, and the man fell down, clutching his neck.
“Grrrrrrrrr!”
The man lay on the ground, writhing in pain, and then suddenly stopped moving.
Linda nodded.
Then the other masked men dragged the dead man to one side.
“hmm.”
I sighed inwardly.
In an instant, what she threw was a needle so thin it was barely visible to the eye.
There was probably poison at the end of it.
At first glance, it was obvious that his skills were far superior to those of James and Jack.
I had a feeling that if I had fought like that, things wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as I planned.
Linda spoke to me with a blank expression on her face.
“I’m sorry… … . I wanted to have a perfect tea party. It didn’t work out as well as I wanted. I’m upset… … .”
I comforted her.
“Shut up. I don’t care.”
Her expression brightened.
“really?”
“Okay. So shut up for a moment. I need to think about something.”
“Okay! Tell me when you’re done thinking about it!”
Linda pressed both hands against my lips as if to say that she would wait quietly.
I asked Cheonma, who had stopped the attack.
‘Master. Why?’
Cheonma rarely intervenes in fights.
I usually just watched and giggled as if I was watching a play without saying anything.
What on earth made me stop?
[Tea party. Do that.]
‘what?’
[Tell him to do it.]
‘……why?’
[Good poison is hard to find.]
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
‘……so?’
[This is a good opportunity to practice to become closer to being impervious to all poisons.]
‘training!’
My eyes lit up at the word training.
‘Practice is good.’
[Do you think I’m stupid?]
‘But what is Mandokbulchim?’
[It means, in other words, a body that is not affected by ten thousand poisons. It refers to a legendary state where one cannot die from any poison.]
‘oh…….’
Cheonma added arrogantly.
[Of course, I am on the right track.]
A body that is impervious to any poison.
Doesn’t that mean you can fight while ignoring the deadly poisons that the assassins are spewing out?
You don’t have to worry about your food being messed with.
I imagined myself swimming in a dark sea of poison.
Just thinking about it made my heart swell.
[The tea party that guy is talking about seems to be drinking poison. Instead of killing him, just drink all the poison he gives you and kill him. That’s quite a feat. It’s like seeing the poisonous horse when it was young.]
‘… That’s it?’
It’s amazing that even Cheonma, who is stingy with praise, would say something like that.
This time, is it the genius of poison?
‘But, you want me to drink poison?’
[okay.]
‘Then I won’t die?’
[You can use your energy. It’s similar to the principle of blowing away drunkenness.]
‘aha.’
[Originally, it would be normal to get used to poison little by little, but since I have the talent, there will be no problem if I pour in some poison rather aggressively. Of course, it will be painful enough to the point of death.]
‘Ah… … Really?’
[As much as it is painful, the accomplishment will be quick. What can I do?]
The answer was already decided.
I chuckled.
‘Pain? For me, not being able to become stronger is pain.’
I looked up and saw Linda watching me from across the room.
“Let’s have a tea party.”
Linda laughed heartily.
“good!”
