36 – NTL Operation (4)

“Everyone, be careful not to fall.”

In the rugged terrain of dirt and rocks.

We climbed the Matheus Mountains.

I wondered if Luna would be able to keep up with the steep slope, but I was worried for nothing.

She climbs the mountain with a lighter step than anyone else.

“I am hungry. Right?”

Seina, who was working hard up the hill, opened her mouth.

I replied with a shy smile.

“It has been 30 minutes since I climbed the mountain. You ate before you came.”

“But, if you use your body, you will be hungry.”

After all, Seina has poor fuel economy.

Even such a small activity seems to consume a lot of energy.

It was time to think so.

“It is a fork in the road.”

“Where should I go?”

Up the hill, I saw a fork in the road that forked into three.

Without hesitation, I took the leftmost path.

“This way.”

At the same time, Luna asked.

“How do you know the road so well? Aren’t you new to the Mateus Mountains?”

“This is the first time. But, I can feel Marmont’s energy from this side.”

This is why I like warriors.

It doesn’t go against the odds even if you give it any reason.

“… I have a question for you.”

Luna carefully opened her mouth.

I looked at her with her puzzled expression.

“What is it?”

She purses her lips as if she is in trouble.

At the same time, I felt some anticipation.

‘I’m not talking about a girlfriend.’

To be honest, this body I possessed.

It was a pretty smooth face.

Besides, it’s not strange that I don’t get over it with my gentle personality.

“Are you really a warrior?”

I stood still in my place at the words that followed.

At the same time, Seina also stopped with enlarged eyes.

I kept my composure and opened my mouth.

“Are you kidding me?”

“No, I mean it.”

“… Why did you think that?”

In my head, there are 1070 thoughts that can be refuted if I claim that I am not a hero.

No matter what you say, it’s possible to break it, but I was curious about the reason.

Luna puts on her troubled expression and she slowly opens her mouth.

“You are a warrior, so why a man? All of the former warriors known to the world are known as women.”

“That is a s*xist remark. Is there any law that says a man is not a hero?”

“Okay, then can you show me your sword?”

“Abandon the narrow-minded idea that a hero carries a sword. Because I have something better than an old relic like a holy sword.”

After hearing my rebuttal, Luna nodded as if she had nothing more to say.

Then, she sighed and opened her mouth.

“… Ha, I said it around in case it sounds weird. I’ll just be honest. You stink.”

‘Smell… ?’

I asked if I was going to camp, but I couldn’t wash my body.

But, warriors are people too.

It smells like sweating. Isn’t that too much

“Is this because of the smell of sweat? When a warrior uses his body, of course it smells… “

“No. It’s not that kind of smell, it’s the demonic smell.”

‘The smell of demons?’

What else is that?

“How can I say, it is similar to human body odor? It has its own unique smell that can only be found among demons. Friendly and… It’s like a nostalgic smell.”

“Luna, don’t make silly jokes.”

After saying that, I went up the hill again as if avoiding a conversation.

My face was stained with bewilderment.

‘… They say you can fool ghosts but not Gaeko.’

I don’t know if my body actually smells like demons.

However, if I say flying, it’s probably because of my time in the monarchy.

Why, was it a parasite?

It was the same in that movie.

All the family members living underground smell the same.

‘… I’ll have to be careful in the future.’

It was when I was thinking that.

“Hey! What do I smell like?”

Seina’s voice came from behind.

“Patisya smells like a puppy.”

“Don’t joke! Doesn’t this supreme body smell like a puppy?!”

“I’m really flying, what should I do?”

“Are you going to get scolded?! Take it again! Again!”

“Go away Patissia—! Why are you sticking out her breasts!”

“Doesn’t smell like dogs?!”

Seina crushes and fights with Luna.

She

Hearing what she has to say makes me smile.

Unexpectedly, the two seemed to get along well.

“Still, the two of you don’t smell bad, so I feel comfortable.”

“The stench?”

“… Oh no.”

Luna held back her words as if she was hiding something.

Seina Even if she felt uncomfortable, she turned the topic.

“By the way, the food in your village is delicious!”

“I can’t eat like that normally. The two of them saved the village, so we had a feast… “

As I listened to the story quietly, I pondered and thought.

‘Stink?’

**

The sun has completely set.

We arrived at our destination a long time ago and waited here until the sun went down.

Sssss!

“It’s open.”

Seina and Luna looked at the entrance of the cave with wide eyes.

That would be true, too, because the inside of the cave, which had been dark until just now, had turned into a green meadow.

“… Amazing.”

“Is it magic?”

I gave a low reply to the dubious voices of the two.

“It is at night that people go to sleep. That’s why it’s night when he’s active.”

This is why Marmont has been able to live for thousands of years.

At night, the hero and demons are also inactive.

There weren’t that many guys who could get in his way.

“You two wait here.”

I stood in front of the entrance and looked at the two.

“No! Are you going to throw it away again? I won’t do that anymore! I want to go after you!”

“Are you kidding me? There’s my brother over there!”

From noble mtl dot com

As expected, the two showed great opposition.

“Marmont has the ability to manipulate dreams and minds. It’s too dangerous for you guys.”

Especially Luna was like that.

My mind is unstable right now. From Marmont’s point of view, it will only be seen as a very good prey.

In the original work, the trigger that awakens her as a murderer was also his mental manipulation.

“Then, is the hero okay? The fact that we are subject to mind manipulation means that you too… !”

I smiled.

“He can’t even touch my fingernails. So, you two wait here. 3 Minutes.”

“I feel relieved if it’s Gerard, but we’re going together… “

“It’s a hindrance.”

He said firmly.

To put it bluntly, it was far better for me to go alone than to fight with my allies under the influence of mind-altering magic.

“Ha… I can’t help it.”

“Partysha!”

“Luna, let’s trust Gerard. I’m not one to talk nonsense.”

As expected, Seina listens to me well.

I should at least stroke her hair later.

“Seina, take care of Luna. Luna, take care of Seina.”

“Okay. Leave it to me.”

“Just 3 minutes…. If you don’t come out by then, I’ll go in too.”

“Yes. Do it.”

It didn’t matter.

In his world, the standards for the flow of time are different.

Probably, it won’t exceed 3 minutes.

I waved.

“Then see you later.”

He spat out a word and threw himself into the cave.

**

Psssss!

Inside the space where the clear weather and the golden sun harmonize.

The endless grassland bordered with the blue sky made me feel like I was looking at a picture.

“He must have some sense.”

I think it’s decorated well with the theme of monsters.

However, don’t be fooled by the beautiful scenery.

Because this is his banquet.

‘A terrible guy.’

The captive children can have everything they want without wanting or lacking in this place called paradise.

However, when time passed and the children’s happiness reached its peak.

He turns this place into a fiery hell in an instant.

Because that way the children will feel more unhappiness.

Originally, the more you have, the greater the sense of loss when you lose.

Nom was an ugly monster who preyed on children’s dreams and hopes using this principle.

So I had to hurry up and find the children.

“Erika—! Stand there!”

“hahahaha! Catch me, Bella!”

I thought about that for a while.

In a place not far away, you can see children playing brightly.

I shouted, stepping over.

“Guys-!”

At my words, the children stop and stare at me.

Then, they seemed to be whispering something, and then they ran towards me and shouted.

“Who are the uncle eyes?!”

“How did you get here?!”

“I came to pick you up. The family is waiting. Let’s go back home.”

“… ….”

The two who jumped at my words stopped in place.

And he makes a playful face.

I sensed being f*cked.

‘I’m screwed! I shouldn’t have said this.’

I can know that I have cousins.

Telling the children who are playing in the middle of the day to go home is the same.

“I’m going to play just a little longer!”

“You should think about it if you catch me hee hee!”

It is the sound of ‘let’s play in earnest from now on’.

The children start running frantically in the opposite direction from me.

I let out a laugh and blankly watched it.

‘… Ha, these kids.’

I want to protect my innocence.

It was dangerous to stay here.

I took a breath and used maximization to speed up.

At the same time, my body bounces off like a bullet.

Whiririk!

“Huh?”

“What is it?”

Since the distance wasn’t that great in the first place, I reached in front of them in an instant.

Chin!

I caught two people.

“Okay, did you get it now? I will go back without saying anything.”

“Wow… How can you be so fast?”

“It’s Chan—!”

To the admiration of the children, I responded appropriately.

“You guys just have to eat well and pack well.”

“… Then I won’t be able to.”

“Nyadu….”

Children lower their heads with depressed faces.

“… ?”

With a puzzled look on her face, a little girl named Bella opens her mouth.

“… Our house was small, so we had nothing to eat.”

“My older sister… They say there is nothing to eat every day. When your parents are sick… They said it was fine.”

‘Ah….’

It was a moment of silence.

“That… It will be enough just to wrap it well.”

I spat out anything with a puzzled face.

I accidentally played Tallulah.

Come to think of it, could children of commoner families in the Middle Ages have been able to eat properly?

“Heh heh, it’s nonsense. I don’t eat well, but it’s okay!”

“hahahaha, that was fun!”

I looked at the two with absurd faces.

I think we whispered to each other earlier and decided to make fun of me.

I thought with a sigh.

‘I heard that kids are doing more these days….’

I guess that also applies to the Middle Ages.

After all, children don’t get along with me.

[How dare you, there’s a rat intruding into my space!]

At that time, a thick voice came from the air along with an ear-piercing gong sound.

[Is life not a waste? You savage human being.]

I looked around with a brightened face.

An elephant with huge ivory is seen in the sky.

‘Yes, this is better.’

Dealing with monsters is easier than dealing with children.

“I didn’t expect you to be so happy.”

[What?]

He raised his collar one by one and opened his hand.

The ring on the index finger at the same time changes into the shape of a shotgun.

“I will put you to eternal sleep. Come down, Marmont.”
