Episode 087. Unexpected Reinforcements

* * *

A girl with green hair as fresh as fresh grass, braided into two pigtails, ran towards me with a huge green snake.

“Devil! I’m back! I’m not dead! Are we friends now? Okay? We’ll have a tea party together, right?”

“That crazy bitch!”

Cheonma let out an exclamation when he recognized her.

[Oh. What a pleasant coincidence.]

“What the hell am I happy about!”

Saaaaah!

A huge poisonous snake-shaped creature was advancing at incredible speed.

Enemies along the path fell one by one, coughing up phlegm. Some even had blood pouring out of their eyes and noses.

Even though I am introverted and okay, the articles and words that follow are not okay at all. No, in fact, there is no guarantee that I will be safe.

A giant green snake was getting closer by the minute.

My head was filled with worries.

‘What should I do?’

Cheonma advised.

[Didn’t they say that the deeper it gets, the wider it gets?]

“what?”

[The ways to utilize martial arts are endless. It all depends on how you use it.]

At those words, a spark of realization flashed through my head.

I made a mental list of the martial arts I could utilize, then finished researching each candidate in a split second.

What came to mind was a flying kite.

Wind martial arts.

This is basically a light-hearted technique, but its additional functions can be utilized in other ways as well.

I gathered the wind that had been enveloping my whole body into one place.

Phew!

A storm raged in my hands.

Just before the green snake parted the sea of ​​enemies and reached me.

I used my left palm to send out a strong wind with all my might, which was focused on the wind of the Pyohaengbi.

“Whoaap!”

Wheezing!

A strong wind blew from my palm.

“Wow!”

Linda, who was running towards me, flew away like a paper doll, and the giant green snake that was rushing at me was also swept away by the wind.

Then, I saw a wide open road.

I shouted urgently.

“Sir Curtis! Come here!”

“yes!”

Curtis knocked away an oncoming knight and turned his direction.

He was the one on the right of the three knights who were blocking the road with great pomp.

“Where!”

The man who tried to rush at Curtis again was followed by Walpole, who swung his sword and cut off his head.

Someone in the enemy camp shouted in a panicked voice, as if they didn’t know they would be penetrated so quickly.

“Hey, stop it!”

Doo doo doo doo―

We ran hard towards the open road.

They came poking windows on both sides of the road.

It was as if the sea had miraculously parted and then filled back up again.

I was running ahead with my lightness activated, then I was blown away by a strong wind and found crazy Linda falling in front of me.

“Poohihihi! This is fun! This is fun! Devil! Blow me again!”

“Hey, man.”

fault!

I kicked off the ground as I was running, jumped into the air, and grabbed the guy by the scruff of the neck.

Fortunately, it was mild.

First, I performed a light attack while holding the guy in one hand.

“Heeheehee!”

Linda was holding onto me by the scruff of my neck and kept laughing, wondering what was so funny.

“Hehehe! Hehehehehe!”

“Shut up? Is this the time to laugh?”

“Hehehe… … Oh, sorry.”

Linda quickly covered my mouth.

I looked back as I emerged from the sea that was beginning to fill up on both sides.

The knights were running hard, cutting and striking the spears that were thrusting in from both sides, but the sea water was rushing in faster.

“Hurry up!”

I poured out a stream of blood-red energy on both sides of the rushing sea water.

Then the water slowed down a bit, and the knights were barely able to escape the tide before the exit closed.

But it didn’t end there.

The sea water that had filled the gap began to flow straight towards us.

“Catch him!”

“You absolutely must not miss it!”

At first glance, the number seemed to be well over a hundred.

“Devil!”

I slowly slowed down and then jumped up at the right moment and Thunder landed on my back.

He spoke to Shushuruta, who was sitting on the back of the horse.

“Hey! You go next to me!”

“what?”

“Get behind Walpole over there!”

Shushuruta saw Linda dangling from my hand and shouted at me.

“Why me! This is my place!”

“Is now the time? Aren’t you going quickly?”

“… … Mr. Wooi.”

Shushuruta glanced at Linda, then jumped up and moved to the back seat of the Walpole.

I put Linda on my back and rode hard on the horse.

“Hey, devil!”

Linda patted me on the back.

“What! Why.”

“Hey, there are some scary guys chasing you from behind. It’ll be a problem if they catch you, right?”

“You call that talking now?”

“Isn’t it difficult?”

“It’s difficult! It’s so fucking difficult!”

“Yeah. Got it!”

Linda said she knew, although she didn’t know what she meant.

Then he threw something towards the back.

I glanced back and saw that this time purple poisonous flowers were blooming in clumps like clouds descending to the ground.

There was a loud crash, crashing, and breaking, along with screams and shouts.

“Ahhhh! My eyes!”

“Hey, save me!”

“Grrrrr!”

It was chaos.

Linda said with a bright smile.

“Devil! I don’t think you’ll come after me anymore!”

“……okay.”

We left the chaos behind and rode our horses in a hurry.

* * *

Fortunately, we were able to reach our destination before the sun set.

“Is this the foggy lake?”

“That’s right. Can’t you tell just by looking at it?”

Before my eyes, a huge lake covered in thick, white fog stretched out like a sea.

I frowned and waved my hand.

“What the hell is that fog.”

All I could hear was the sound of the lake’s waters lapping, and the fog was so thick that I couldn’t see an inch ahead of me.

The temperature dropped slightly and I felt chilly.

After the foggy cliff, this time it’s the foggy lake.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that there was a lot of fog in my fortune.

[It seems like a good place to hide your body.]

“That’s true.”

There is still quite a bit of time left until night falls.

I looked around for a boat to cross the lake, then walked up to the horses drinking water and put my hand in the water. It was cold.

I asked, washing my hands and face in the cold lake water.

“Can’t I go right now?”

“Yes. Hans said we had to cross in a raft, but that it could only be called at night.”

“I guess there’s nothing we can do. Then, let’s take it easy until then.”

At that very moment, after roughly organizing everything, I was about to lie down… … .

“I, Lord Ashvan.”

Walpole called me.

“why.”

“The author… … .”

“ah.”

I realized too late that I had an unexpected companion.

When I turned around, the four people were sitting next to me, staring intently at Linda, who was following me and dabbing water with her hands.

“Hehehe.”

Linda looked happy without thinking about anything.

“Devil! The water is cold!”

“… … Oh, okay.”

It was a childlike innocence.

I stood up and introduced Linda.

I know you already know this, but I’m introducing it anyway.

“This is Mad Linda. She’s a master of poisons. Sir Curtis… … is an old acquaintance.”

“… … Yes, that’s right.”

Curtis smiled bitterly.

Walpole and Schneider already had their hands on the hilt.

Walpole looked at Linda with a wary look in his eyes and asked.

“Why is that devil here?”

Schneider also glared at the back of Linda’s head with a fierce gaze.

Linda, on the other hand, didn’t care whether he stared or not.

“Hehehe.”

Chalbangchalbang.

“… … .”

I looked at her for a moment and then explained.

“It’s… It’s complicated to explain, but I had a fight with Linda. I thought she fell off a cliff and died.”

Walpole stared blankly at Linda splashing around in the water.

“Are you alive and well?”

“Yeah. How are you alive?”

I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.

He was a tough guy with a tough lifeline.

Schneider asked.

“That aside, how did you get here? It looks like you came to find Lord Ashvan.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

I sighed as I looked at Linda, who was sulking next to me.

“Hey. Did you come to see me?”

“huh!”

“How did you know I would be here?”

“I don’t know! I just thought we could meet if we came here!”

… … Well, this guy was like that back then too.

I just said that I felt that way.

There are some people in this world who defy common sense, and Linda was one of them.

The same goes for the burglar cat glaring at Linda over there.

“Umm… … .”

I sat there with my arms crossed, lost in thought.

I said I would be your friend if you survived, so I just killed you.

Thanks to this guy, I was able to shake off the enemies easily, so I can’t be so cruel now.

If it weren’t for this guy, I don’t know, but one or two of the knights might have been killed or seriously injured.

More than anything, I didn’t feel like it.

“Hehehe. Devil! Look at this!”

Chalbangchalbang.

They say you can’t spit on a smiling face. Even my murderous intent had subsided.

I looked at Curtis.

“Sir Curtis, what should we do? No one here knows this guy better than you.”

The knights also took notice of Curtis after my words.

Curtis thought for a moment and then answered.

“Linda.”

“Except for you. You are not a slave anymore.”

“… … That’s right.”

Curtis looked down for a moment, nodded slightly, and then said.

“Linda was always looking for friends to have tea parties with. That was her only purpose.”

“Are there any survivors?”

Curtis shook his head.

“None. You are the only one who survived the tea party to the end.”

“… … !”

Walpole and Schneider looked at me with wide eyes.

Walpole asked.

“Your Majesty Ashvan. Have you drunk all the poison?”

It seems that Mad Linda’s bizarre tea party was quite famous.

I gave a vague answer.

“It was a bit bitter.”

Curtis continued.

“Linda was just looking for her first friend, that’s all.”

“You don’t have any dark intentions?”

“Linda is like a child. She has no inner feelings. She just says whatever comes to her mind and does whatever she wants. She doesn’t know how to hide her feelings. That’s why she sometimes feels even crueler. As you can see, she doesn’t even pay attention to us and just hangs around the devil.”

Pure white madness.

That’s the word that comes to mind when I see Linda.

“I will probably listen to the devil’s words even if it means dying. I don’t want to be hated by the first friend I have ever met, whom I have been searching for so long.”

“so?”

“So… … In conclusion, I think there won’t be any major problems as long as the devil controls himself well.”

“… … .”

I looked blankly at Linda, who was splashing water, and said.

“Mommy.”

“huh?”

“Don’t poison the people here. Don’t put poison in the food.”

“huh!”

“Don’t harm the people around me. If you do, I’ll just kill them, whether they’re my friends or not.”

Linda laughed heartily.

“Yeah, I won’t do that, Devil! You want to have a tea party?”

“Next time. Things aren’t going well right now.”

“Yeah, I got it!”

Even Walpole and Schneider seemed speechless when Curtis, who had actually been kidnapped by Linda, said that.

A stray cat was glaring at me with a displeased look, but I ignored it because it didn’t really matter.

We waited until night fell.

Those who appeared to be the second prince’s men approached to search, but it was not easy to be detected because the fog was so thick around the lake.

The guys seemed to know that, so they pretended to search a few times before retreating.

It seemed that he didn’t think that the foggy lake was the destination.

I stayed awake in case Linda did something, and Shushuruta, upset, climbed up a tree and went to sleep. … … Why are you so angry?

This time, I couldn’t force the knights to sleep, so I left it up to them.

The knights rested in the fog, each in his own way, keeping watch over Linda.

Linda, who was receiving all the wary looks from me, didn’t care and just hovered around me, talking to me in a noisy manner.

“There, there. You devil! Didn’t you miss me? I missed you so much.”

“Devil! This is a new poison I made. Want to try it? It tastes good!”

“I hurt my leg a little when I fell off a cliff, but this poison helped me get better quickly!”

I waited for night to come, roughly responding to Linda’s nagging.

“Linda.”

“huh?”

“Shut up.”

“Ugh… … .”

The sunset rose above the fog on the lake.

As I was watching the reddish fog, dark night soon fell.

As night fell, the atmosphere became even more eerie. It was as if a ghost might appear.

It was time to cross the lake.

“Shushuruta.”

Whoosh.

With the sound of rustling leaves, Shushuruta landed next to me.

The knights who had been resting also rose one by one.

“Did you call?”

I told her.

“Take out the dagger.”

“I get it.”

Shushuruta took a dagger from his bosom and unsheathed it.

The constellations engraved on the dagger’s blade were glowing softly.

“Follow me.”

Shushuruta approached the lake holding a dagger.

I followed Shushuruta with the knights.

Linda asked brightly, without any clue.

“What? What are you doing?”

“Linda. Shh.”

“Yeah… Shh.”

As I approached the rippling lakeside, a beam of light shot from the dagger.

Pot!

But this time, instead of soaring into the sky, it flew towards the foggy lake.

After a while, a rickety old boat approached with an eerie squeaking sound.

“Take it.”

Shushuruta jumped onto the boat.

We stared blankly at the self-moving raft, then quickly climbed onto it.

The horses were left to rest here, as there was no place to rest.

“Now, all you have to do is row following this light.”

A beam of light extending from the dagger guided us somewhere across a foggy lake.

Shushuruta stood at the stern of the ship, holding a dagger, and led the way, while Walpole and Schneider took up the oars.

Squeak… … .

We rowed slowly into the foggy lake.

The ship glided through the dark, foggy waters.
