189 – EP.34 The Forgotten Past-3

The bat god I have never seen before is lying wounded in the grass.

I must have never seen Shinsoo before Miho’s first meeting.

But why is there a divine beast in my past flashbacks, and why do I have no memory of this divine beast?

I don’t know for sure, but maybe this divine beast is my lost past.

I couldn’t be sure, but it was very likely because I couldn’t remember this bat god.

‘Above all, my heart aches as soon as I see this Shinsoo….’

I could endure the pain to the extent that my eyebrows were frowned upon, but it wasn’t a very good feeling.

First of all, it seemed necessary to put aside personal feelings and help this Shinsoo.

As if I had the same thoughts as me in the past, my body started moving closer to the light pink bat on its own.

I just think it’s better to approach with a bit of caution, but in my childhood I approached without hesitation.

It must have been because it was a time when I didn’t know how dangerous the existence of Shinsoo was.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

“Steal? Stinging… !!”

“Ah… !”

Unlike me who approached without any sense of danger, a bat that threatened me very warily.

As I tried to reach out, the bat also bared its sharp teeth.

This is a natural reaction. Anyone who is seriously injured and an unknown creature approaches is bound to be wary.

That’s why I have to let the bat know that I’m harmless before I get close to it.

“You look very injured, I will treat you!”

“Poke!!”

However, when I was young, I couldn’t take it for granted, so I ended up within reach of the bat’s teeth.

This resulted in fatal wounds.

“Kyaaa!!”

“Aww!”

Kwajik-!

The bat bit my hand that I stretched out to take care of the bat’s wound.

Sharp fangs that pierce the skin on the back of the hand and pierce the blood vessels.

I let out a moan at the surging pain, and the bat bit my hand even harder.

The pain was unbearable for a child, but I instead stroked the bat’s torn wing with my other hand.

‘Being bitten by a bat is nothing compared to all the torture that you have been subjected to by these pseudo-assholes….’

With my hand gently caressing the bat’s affected part, the jaw force exerted on the back of my hand loosened a little.

“Gwa… are you okay. I’m not trying to hurt you.”

“Stealing….”

Only now, when I was young, I appealed that I was harmless, saying that I had no intention of attacking.

There is a sense that the order has been reversed, but at least I was able to gain the trust of the bats before losing blood.

As evidence of that, the fangs that had pierced the palm of the hand came out again through the back of the hand.

The pain still lingered, but if the bleeding was stopped quickly, it could be finished with anemia….

“There are no scars… ?”

It must have been pierced by the bat’s fangs and left a huge hole on the back of the hand.

However, there were no open holes, only red-hot skin instead.

While I was staring at the back of my hand, wondering what the hell was going on, the bat lying on the floor made a painful cry.

“Prickly… !!”

Humans cannot understand the cries of animals other than contracted animals.

Of course, I wasn’t quite sure what the cries the bats were squeezing out meant.

Just from the desperate looking eyes and the wheezing and struggling breathing, it was clear that he needed help.

“…… I will help you.”

I speak very well, but right now there is nothing I can do.

I didn’t have a first aid kit, I had no medical knowledge, and I knew nothing about bats.

As young as I was, the method I chose was simply reckless.

‘I’m carrying a bat the size of a large dog on my back…… It’s a childish idea.’

It looks like I was trying to descend from the mountain carrying a bigger and heavier Shinsoo on my back.

It would have been convenient if I had made a tool using the resources in the mountain and brought it, but at that time I couldn’t come up with such an idea.

Still, if there was just one thing to imitate, it was that he put his thoughts into action right away.

If it were me now, I would have moved after having a period of contemplation.

On the other hand, as a child, I picked up a dangerous bat on my back as soon as I decided to help.

‘My body will suffer, but the safety of this bat will be more guaranteed.’

Sometimes I feel that this posture is necessary, but I also feel that the fatigue exerted on me is unreasonable.

There was a way to move comfortably, but I was forced to work hard.

Anyway, that’s how I struggled to carry the injured bat from the mountain to my grandmother’s house.

I had to go through all the furniture in the house to find the first aid kit, even though the sweat was pouring down like a waterfall.

So I managed to find some medical tools, packed them up, and ran to the bat I had left in my room.

“Prick… …. Stab…….”

The breathing became more irregular than when we first met.

It was a sign that the wound was getting worse and worse.

It was a condition that required sophisticated yet rapid treatment, and I brought medical tools for such treatment, but…….

‘There’s no way I can give proper treatment to a bat this big.’

I was just an ordinary kid, not even a veterinarian.

Ointments used by humans were applied to the animals, the bandages on the wounds were loose, and bandages were applied to the body.

True treatment skills, I’d rather treat myself now, but the initiative of my body was taken away by the past.

All I could do was feel the touch of the bat passing through my body.

“Prickly….”

“Because the treatment is almost finished. Be patient!”

However, it seemed like a wonderful treatment to me when I was younger, and words came out of my mouth that I didn’t even have in my heart.

I can’t help it. Because the point of view and views of adults and children are inevitably different.

Still, I think this was the best for me right now.

The best way is to take him to the veterinarian in the countryside, but the town is currently in a meeting due to an upcoming typhoon.

Besides, if you take a big bat like this, you might hear something from adults.

A child must have been scolded for not taking such a dangerous-looking wild animal with him.

Now or in the past, I don’t like to hear nagging, so I probably won’t choose to show it to others.

‘The problem is how to cure this bat god… ….’

From noble mtl dot com

Leaving aside me, who prides himself on being perfectly cured, the condition of the Bat Goddess was not good.

The wings were torn, the legs were broken, and one of the fangs was broken.

There wasn’t a single spot where there was no scar, and even the bones protruded out through the flesh.

Honestly, he was still alive because he was a Shinsoo, otherwise he would have died from an injury.

‘Eref.’

‘Why are you calling me?’

‘Is there no way for me to temporarily regain control of my body?’

‘No, it’s easier if I give up.’

‘Then this divine beast….’

‘Well, if I was worried about her, I wouldn’t have to do anything.’

‘I don’t have to worry, can you say that even after seeing such scars?’

‘Because what she needs right now isn’t a sincere treatment.’

‘What do you mean by that?’

‘If you stay still, you will find out. Please enjoy it slowly.’

After hearing Eref’s meaningful words, I quietly watched the current situation.

A dangerous situation continued, but I will continue to wait.

“Prick… !”

“Ho, are you still sick? If you need anything, I’ll help!”

Amid the unchanging circumstances, a small incident occurred.

A bat god creeping towards me with difficulty.

I ran to the side of the bat with a worried heart when I saw such a sorrowful appearance.

The moment you hug a bat to support it.

“Pizzle! Prick!!”

“Keugh… !”

At the same time as I heard the bat’s earnest cry, sharp fangs protruded from the back of my neck.

The excruciating pain I felt on the back of my hand just a while ago came from the back of my neck this time.

Even this time, my whole body started to lose strength little by little.

From noble mtl dot com

Like a milk carton with a straw in it, energy was transferred from the tips of the hands and feet to the shoulders, and the strength was drained from the shoulders.

‘…… No, it’s not power. What’s leaking is probably my blood.”

Because there is an entity called a vampire bat in the world.

In fact, when I went to a ski camp with government officials, I met a similar Shinsu.

Thinking back then, the bat god that is biting me right now might be the same species.

Then I must get rid of this blood-sucking bat as soon as possible.

Otherwise, like back then, I would become a vampire and be subordinated to this beast.

I should avoid that much, but instead of falling, my body kindly stroked the back of the bat that was biting me.

Just like when a bat bites the back of your hand.

“Auk… ! Are you doing this because you are sick too?”

“Prickly… !”

“It’s okay, I was hurt just like you a while ago. I cried a lot because it hurt so much, but then my mom hugged me like this and patted me on the back so it didn’t hurt at all! So I’ll pat you a lot so you don’t get sick!”

Those words brought back a very old memory.

My mother, who hugged me when my body and mind were devastated after the kidnapping incident.

My memory has faded a lot now, but I still can’t forget the touch of my mother that I felt at the time.

I tried to give the same kind of warm touch to the divine beast in front of me when I was young.

“So I… Fine… ah… ….”

Even the power to move the lips and tongue was gone.

The hand that used to caress the bat’s back is already drooping, and my vision is gradually blurring.

My consciousness is getting confused due to the symptoms of anemia.

After a while, you might completely pass out. Even in the midst of that, if the vampirism doesn’t end, I’ll probably die from excessive blood loss.

‘I was killed by a divine being who tried to help… …. What a funny ending.’

I slowly closed my eyes, realizing that I was laughing until the very end in my consciousness that was gradually crumbling.

***

It was really strange.

The part pierced by the canine teeth must have been near the shoulder blade at the back of the neck, but at the moment my consciousness was blurred, the back of my right hand felt hot as if it were burning for some reason.

Though I thought the pain came from the back of my hand that had been pierced before, the bitten hand was my left hand, not my right hand.

What on earth is this heat I felt in my right hand?

From noble mtl dot com

Let’s think about it I’ve had similar feelings before. That too many times.

The moment I signed a contract with my precious companions, it was very similar to the feeling I experienced when a small pattern was engraved on the back of my hand as evidence of the contract.

Then should I make a pact with the bat god before I lose consciousness?

I don’t know, I don’t know at all.

I don’t remember anything about what I went through in the past.

My head is confused because I don’t know about the past I’ve lost, new beasts I’ve never seen, even the case of being vampiric.

In this situation, there was only one thing I could do.

‘I guess I have no choice but to check the past step by step with my own eyes.’

Feeling that my consciousness was slowly rising to the surface, I opened my closed eyes.

Then there was a woman’s face staring at my face with puzzling eyes.

“Ah! You’re finally awake, master!”

“Ugh… ?”

The light pink haired woman was looking down at her with my head resting on her lap.

On top of that, the woman with her innocent face and purple eyes stared at me passionately and put her strange title in her mouth.

“Who are you?”

“What? Don’t you remember? The me that the master moved and treated me so carefully? Even if you signed a contract like this?”

The woman abruptly lifted her top and she openly exposed her belly to me.

At first, I tried to turn my head, asking what I was doing, but I couldn’t turn my head completely because I noticed something unusual on the way.

Just below the chest, which was barely visible, there was a pattern I had seen many times engraved there.

“Wait a minute, I can’t believe that… ?!”

“Master is my companion from today!”
