A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 55



Only Noblemtl

Episode 055. Smile

* * *

Linda is crazy.

She fell off a cliff.

I watched her become a dot in an instant and then got up from my seat.

The fog was so thin that it was impossible to confirm her fate.

I checked the height of the cliff again.

By any measure, there was no chance of survival from this high cliff.

Unless you have a demon in your head like me.

Linda will die and go to the afterlife.

Somehow, she felt that when she went to the afterlife, she would greet those she had killed with a bright smile.

“Ugh… … .”

I took a deep breath.

The breeze blowing through the open landscape was incredibly refreshing.

It felt like the poison in my body was being completely washed away.

I burst into laughter as the wind blew my clothes and hair wildly.

“Hahahaha… … .”

[What a poor guy. He survived somehow.]

“Haha, well then. I’m not the type of person to die in vain in a place like this.”

Cheonma chuckled.

[Did it taste good?]

“Hahaha! Is that what you call talking?”

As I was looking at the scenery beyond the cliff with that heart-wrenching smile, I suddenly felt a presence behind me.

The masked men were coming towards me.

I turned around and faced them.

Click.

They took off their masks one by one.

The man who had just received the antidote bowed deeply.

“Thank you, devil.”

The other men followed him and bowed their heads one by one.

“Thank you, devil.”

I stared at them silently.

The man who greeted me on behalf of the company raised his head and looked at me.

“You said you’d kill me if I told you, but I just can’t move without giving you a proper thank you.”

He added with a sly smile.

“Please understand.”

Now that I look at him, he is a neat, middle-aged man who looks to be in his 40s. The name gentleman suits him well.

I looked at him for a moment and then asked.

“You. What’s your name?”

“This is Curtis.”

“Curtis.”

“yes.”

“What were you doing?”

Curtis placed a hand on his chest and bowed his head slightly.

“He was a knight of the Count of Starvanger.”

I opened my eyes slightly wide.

“Sir Curtis. Were you a knight?”

Curtis answered politely.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Somehow, it seemed to have a different kind of momentum.

I looked around at the other men and asked.

“What about the rest?”

A variety of answers came out.

Strangely enough, most of them were servants, knights, teachers, and butlers of noble families.

There was a reason for the unique, neat movements that came out when making tea.

The types of noble families they belonged to were also diverse.

“Me too.”

I laughed in vain.

I thought I knew why the knights of the noble families were so eagerly pursuing Linda.

It’s just that I didn’t touch the nobles directly, but I touched everything that was theirs.

“Thanks to you, devil, we can all return to where we came from.”

I nodded as I looked around at those who had become free.

“Yeah. It was hard being dragged around by that crazy guy. How does it feel to be free?”

The wind blew from the cliff.

Their hair and the hems of their clothes fluttered freely.

Curtis answered with a smile.

“It’s like a dream.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

“Then smile.”

“yes?”

“Don’t snicker like a sly fool. Laugh heartily like a man.”

If you look closely, no one is smiling brightly, perhaps because they are living under the oppression of having to watch Linda’s expression.

To my eyes, it seemed as though he had not yet regained true freedom.

“Smile. Like me. Like this.”

I demonstrated this myself, laughing “Hahahaha!”

The guys made absurd expressions, then soon started laughing along.

“Hahahaha!”

“Hahahaha!”

“Wahahahaha!”

“Hahahaha!”

The laughter gradually grew louder.

The laughter of me and the guys mixed and mingled.

“Throw those fucking masks away too!”

“Hahahaha!”

“Ahahaha!”

The masks they threw were carried away by the wind and flew far away.

“Damn, look at that! The mask is flying away!”

“Wahahahaha!”

We had another good laugh watching the mask fly away in the wind.

Then at some point, I stopped laughing and asked.

“Did you laugh heartily?”

The guys answered with relieved faces.

“yes!”

I nodded.

“Okay. Then, I’ll just get out of here.”

Curtis bowed again.

“I will never forget this favor. If I ever meet you again, I will definitely repay you.”

Then the other guys started talking about how they wanted to repay the favor by following Curtis.

Some people even shed tears.

I frowned and waved my hand.

“Repay the favor or not, do as you wish. Okay, now get out of here. I’m a busy person.”

Curtis smiled faintly, took a shiny coin out of his bosom and flicked it at me.

Tub.

I instinctively grabbed it and looked at it.

I thought it was silver because it was shiny, but it looked different. It was also slightly bigger.

“What is this?”

Curtis answered.

“It is a kind of token containing the emblem of the Count of Starvanger, to which I belong.”

“What is this? What can I do with this? You might as well give me silver instead.”

Curtis laughed.

“It is something precious that cannot be bought even with a hundred pieces of gold.”

I quickly put the coin in my pocket and replied.

“Actually, there are many benefits.”

“Yes. If you ever need help, please come to Count Starvanger with this certificate and he will be happy to help you.”

So, to put it simply, it meant a one-time ticket to the Baekjakga.

I tilted my head.

“Can a mere knight give something like this? No, how did he get it in the first place?”

Curtis answered with a smile.

“It’s excessive, but since I held the title of Knight Commander, I have at least one.”

“Commander of the Knights?”

I opened my eyes wide.

“… … The commander of the knights was kidnapped?”

Curtis laughed bitterly and then touched his neck as if he was ashamed.

Linda this crazy bitch.

How on earth did they bring in the Count’s Knight Commander? Did he poison all the meals of the Count’s family?

I nodded.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll put it to good use.”

“Yes, please.”

I looked around at the other guys and asked.

“The rest of them aren’t knight commanders, right? Are there any other knight commanders?”

They laughed and shook their heads.

“doesn’t exist.”

“If you don’t have it, then get out.”

They laughed again at something so funny.

As the laughter died down, Curtis smiled and spoke to me as his representative.

“I heard that the royal knights are chasing you. I hope you are safe.”

“Okay.”

“Yes, then.”

The men bowed deeply again after Curtis, and with that greeting they retreated in droves.

Now I see that Curtis’ movements were unusual.

The commander of the knights of the Count’s family.

I thought about letting him go after training once, but I couldn’t help it because I wasn’t in the mood to fight right now.

I’m swallowing my regret like that… … .

“Devil! You are my hero!”

The men who were retreating suddenly shouted from afar.

I responded by shaking my fist.

“You’re talking too much. Shut up and get out of here!”

The guys laughed “Wahahaha!” and disappeared into the bushes.

Silence fell on the once bustling vacant lot.

Amidst the sound of the wind blowing, I looked at myself and grumbled.

“Tsk. By the way, all the clothes are dirty.”

Because it had dissolved in the poison, it was torn here and there, revealing bare skin.

“Master. How is it? Is this getting any closer to becoming invincible?”

[I guess I can be invincible from all poison.]

“Isn’t it invincible?”

[No way.]

“Tch.”

As I was walking towards the forest, grumbling, I heard the sound of leaves rustling and a figure lightly landed.

“Ugh! It stinks!”

As soon as Shushuruta got off, he covered his nose and made a sour expression.

“What the heck is that smell! Is it because I’m covered in shit?”

I answered with a stern face.

“Oh my. You’re calling your coworker a shit.”

“Ugh. I’m so rotten, I can’t even describe it.”

I scolded Shushuruta for making a fuss.

“Don’t make a fuss. What’s wrong with this smell? As you walk, the wind will soon wash it away.”

Shushuruta frowned.

“… … It’s not like it’s going to wash away. It’s not at a level where that’s possible.”

I looked at Shushuruta.

“What the heck? Why are you suddenly like that? It’s so nice to hear.”

Shushuruta replied shamelessly.

“I guess I passed it on to you.”

“Where did you catch this live person?”

“Ugh. Don’t come near me. It smells terrible.”

I trudged ahead towards the top of the mountain.

“There’s no time for this. Let’s go.”

“Wash up before that. My nose is about to run.”

“When you come to a valley, wash up then. Until then, hold out for a bit.”

“Ugh… … . I’ll go first.”

Shushuruta suddenly stepped forward in front of me with his nose covered.

She turned around briefly and asked in a slurred voice.

“Are you feeling any better? You were gulping down poison.”

“Oh, now that I think about it, my breath smells a little bit too.”

She blushed as she took in the breath.

“I had my own way. No problem.”

“I saw you dripping poison from your fingertips. Was it using mana?”

“Well. It’s similar.”

Shushuruta was amazed.

“Black magic is a scary thing. It spews poison.”

“… … I said it’s not black magic.”

I looked at the back of Shushuruta, who was walking ahead with more distance than usual… … .

He asked with a playful spirit, taking a brisk stride.

“You don’t need to check the dagger?”

“……does not exist.”

“You said earlier that there were a mountain of things to check.”

“It’s not urgent.”

“No. I’ll check when I have time. Now, come here. I’ll give you that horse you like so much.”

Shushuruta flinched and then quickly distanced himself.

“Oh, don’t come.”

“Hehehe!”

“Profit! Don’t come even if I tell you not to!”

* * *

About two hours had passed.

Shushuruta couldn’t stand it any longer and guided me to the valley to find the sound of water.

I guess that wasn’t the direction he originally intended to go. Judging from the way he kept grumbling the whole way.

So I arrived in front of a valley with a brook flowing gently.

The water was clear and seemed quite deep.

The valley was surrounded by trees, so the scenery was quite nice.

Shushuruta asked.

“Do you have any extra clothes?”

“No. There isn’t any.”

“What? Then what are you going to do?”

“What can I do? I have to suck it up and wear it.”

Shushuruta opened her eyes wide.

“Don’t even think about such horrible thoughts. Who would want to walk around in such a shitty outfit? It’s not a smell that will go away just by washing. Burn it!”

“… … .”

I blinked in surprise.

Has Shushuruta ever been this angry?

I don’t think I’ve ever been this angry when I’ve hit a few chestnuts in a row.

I replied bewilderedly.

“Then what should I do? It’s not like I can walk around naked.”

Shushuruta clicked his tongue.

“I’ll get you some clothes, so you go wash yourself clean.”

“Where did you get it?”

Shushuruta pointed down the mountain.

“There was a small village at the foot of the mountain we passed. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you wash up well so you don’t stink.”

“……okay.”

I answered like that and took off my top.

Shushuruta turned his head hurriedly and shouted.

“Ouch! Take it off after you go!”

“You’re really sensitive today.”

As I grumbled, Shushuruta suddenly turned his head and held out his arm.

“It would be inconvenient to wash while holding a dagger. I’ll keep it.”

No way. I hung my naked clothes on the arm she held out.

Shushuruta jumped when he saw what was hanging on his arm.

“Eww! What should I do if you give me this? The smell of shit has seeped into my arm.”

I giggled and took off my pants and threw them at her.

“Hey, have a good trip.”

Shushuruta quickly pulled down his pants and disappeared downstairs while muttering something.

I took off all my clothes except my underwear and placed the sword neatly to one side.

Then he entered the valley with the dagger in his mouth.

“Tch, tch. Chagaura.”

I immersed my head in the stream and washed away all the poison on my body.

It seemed like all the accumulated fatigue was being washed away.

“Aha… … . Okay.”

I thoroughly enjoyed the free time I had after a long time.

I felt like I was one with nature.

While waiting for Shushuruta, he floated like a leaf on the cool stream water with a dagger in his mouth for a long time.

Suddenly I felt a presence and raised my head.

My eyes met with a man in black who was holding my sword, which I had placed gently on a rock.

“uh?”

fault.

As soon as the thief made eye contact with me, he ran away with his sword.

I was so dumbfounded that I just watched the scene floating on the water.

The next moment, a variety of black-clad figures descended one after another from the trees surrounding the valley.

I muttered curses with the dagger in my mouth.

“… … This is so fucking annoying.”
