Kidnapping the Hero Party - Kidnapping the Hero Party chapter 131

131. The party of warriors I raised restrained me (8)

131. The party of warriors who raised me redeemed me (8)

It’s cold after all.

The night sky at dawn contained silence.

It is dark and everything but the stars are invisible.

Saten, who was watching the sky while walking through the deserted city, said.

“When I look at the night sky, I feel like a heart floating in the air is sitting in place.”

Comfort.

Comfort.

Do you feel that way when you look at the night sky?

“So, Saten, do you like the night?”

“Good. Hate. I’ve never thought of it that way, but… Maybe it’s closer to what I like. Because I hate breakfast.”

Saten frowned slightly.

Does he hate breakfast that much?

Honestly, there was a part that I sympathized with Saten’s words.

For example…

“There is a downside to light entering through the curtains and interfering with sleep.”

“As expected, I wasn’t the only one. Of course, there are things my uncle said. There is another reason why I hate breakfast.”

Saying that, Saten turned her head to the front.

Then, she started looking around the shops and buildings in the city center. She

It was dark, so she couldn’t quite see the form, but she only had a vague idea that there was a building there.

Saten opened her mouth in a dry tone.

“I have no interest in those buildings.”

“It probably has nothing to do with why I hate breakfast.”

“No, they are very deeply related.”

Saten brought her face close, expressing her opinion forcefully.

… Are you too close?

I spoke softly.

“… You know that, lower your face. It’s burdensome.”

“Yes, anyway, if I had to briefly explain what I wanted to say… It’s ‘information’.”

“Information?”

“Yes, for example, the building on the left is of a style that was popular 60 years ago. It was built with wood using the corpse of a demon beast instead of using bricks.”

Trent.

Sprigan.

A building made of that kind of corpse?

‘It’s a bit creepy to think that you are living in the corpse of a monster… ‘

More than that, I had no idea Saten could be so knowledgeable.

In addition to the building on the left, Saten seemed to be memorizing information about the road and numerous building styles on the floor.

I’m sure these are the contents of the ‘information’ that Saten was talking about.

“Do you know too much information, and when it comes to your eyes, it automatically pops into your head?”

“Yes, that’s right. Useless information keeps popping into my head. Even if you’re not conscious of it, you think about it when it catches your eye.”

Is that why you hate mornings when you can see things clearly?

If it’s dark, I can’t see my surroundings, but if it’s bright, I can’t help but see it even if I don’t want to.

It must be quite a chore to have unwanted information automatically pop up in your head.

“There is a clear reason why you hate breakfast.”

“That’s why I think I like the night more. If you can’t see it, it’s easy on your head. Like magic, I want to think only what I want to think.”

Ttogak- Ttogak-

Saying that, Saten walked through the quiet city.

She was breathing comfortably even in the cold weather.

As she looked at Saten like that, her curiosity suddenly came to mind.

“You must have been under a lot of stress outside, Saten.”

“That’s right, my thoughts are clearer in my room than outside.”

“Then let me ask you one thing. Was it like that from the beginning that the thought automatically came to you?”

“… “

Stop-

Saten stopped her steps for a moment.

About 10 seconds had passed.

It was only after that time passed that Saten opened her tightly closed mouth.

“No. It wasn’t like this from the beginning.”

“… That’s a good enough answer.”

It wasn’t like this from the beginning.

With that answer, I was able to realize.

‘The Sicilian family made Saten such a habit.’

The obsession with ‘information’ and ‘bee’ must have been created that way.

If you can’t memorize it, you will be punished.

I would have had to memorize everything to avoid punishment.

The actions taken to survive there have become habits, and they are now harassing Saten.

I was able to judge Saten’s actions that way.

“… Saten.”

“Yes.”

“It is the same with non-attribute magic that makes you feel comfortable being invisible. Just turn your head or close your eyes.”

Take note.

The answer is close at hand.

Saten stopped her steps and stared at my face, as if she was impressed by my words.

“Uncle.”

“Yes, Saten.”

“Your horse is really nice. However, since you are tied with a rope, it is not persuasive.”

“… I see.”

Because of the rope.

You’re not very persuasive.

I see.

“… “

I walked towards my destination without saying anything.

A walk through the city of Sujeong with Saten.

It’s the dawn that others can’t see because it’s dark.

I thought it was really fortunate.

***

After passing through the city, we arrived at a park.

If you came during the day, it would have been noisy because there were a lot of people and couples.

Now it was a park with no people.

It was a suitable place for Saten, who dislikes crowded places.

“I’m thinking of taking a walk in the park for a while. Is that okay?”

“Are you asking now after you have already come?”

“… Sorry.”

“I’m not blaming you, I’m just curious. You don’t need to apologize.”

Saten took a step forward as if it were okay.

I walked a lot today, but I still seemed to be in good shape.

“By the way, I also have a question, mister. Is it okay if I ask you a question?”

“Yes, do it.”

Walking on a flower path where the colors are not visible.

Saten asked what she was feeling.

“The strongest person in the warriors’ party must be Luna. If so, me and Hare. Which of the two is stronger?”

Saten asks questions with pure enthusiasm.

In her eyes as she asked the question, there was a feeling that the answer had been decided somewhere.

‘Say I’m stronger, mister. You know?’

Obviously.

Saten’s eyes were talking about her answer.

However, even if there is no Hare here.

I had to tell the truth.

“Until now, you had the upper hand.”

“That means… “

“You’re saying it’s not now. Hare is stronger than you.”

A person full of talent becomes stronger as he experiences near death.

She can stretch her limits, and her body knows where the line is.

Thoughts are important, but more important is experience.

The reason Hare grew faster than Saten, who was only in the corner of the room, was because of the difference in experience.

Walking on a flowery path, Saten took a slightly resentful step.

“At first, Hare must have been under my feet, but she realized this while fighting. She knows that Hare has become much stronger than she thought.”

“Originally, it is the law to grow over time.”

“Then what about me? Don’t you think I’ve grown up yet?”

“Your heart has grown.”

“I… I want the growth of skills rather than the growth of mind. As long as your skills improve, you don’t need a heart. The mind doesn’t feed you.”

… I hate to admit it, but it’s true.

I also did a few things where I had to throw away my heart in order to live after falling to another world.

The more I did, the more my heart turned gray.

I breathed in the fresh morning air of the park and said.

“Don’t be too hasty, Saten.”

“It’s hard to think in a hurry-“

“It’s not for nothing that people say to go back in a hurry. If you are blocked by a wall, it is good to go back.”

“… All right. I’ll be quiet for now.”

Saten felt uneasy about the other kids going ahead.

She shut her mouth for a moment and walked through the park.

She had a slightly sullen expression on her face.

‘You don’t know how to deal with your emotions, so you’re too honest.’

Still, it’s different from when he came to my room.

He seemed to be a little more at ease.

It seemed like there was a lot of anxiety about not improving my skills alone.

“Uncle.”

“What is it?”

“I saw a flyer while I was on my way. A leaflet made by the Sicilian family. The bounty has gone up quite a bit.”

“There is no reply to the letter anymore, but the bounty is still being raised.”

I don’t know what the family head is thinking.

The search for Saten continues.

“That’s why. When should I visit the family?”

“Wait, are you going to visit me?”

“Yes, I want to destroy my clan quickly.”

You’re serious.

But not now.

“Two years. No, three years.”

“Yes?”

From noble mtl dot com

“After that, you should be able to deal with at least one family. If you want to destroy the family, then go find it.”

“… You’re not stopping me.”

“Because that family is a family that can be destroyed.”

It’s just amazing that she hasn’t collapsed so far.

I also wanted the Sicilian family to perish as Saten wished.

“Before that, we have to deal with the church… “

“Cult… Is it because of Estiya?”

“You can see that.”

“I hope you don’t touch the church.”

“Why?”

You don’t want me to touch the church all of a sudden?

I couldn’t help but question Saten’s sudden statement.

“Why do you think so?”

“Time is precious. Estiya has a round personality and doesn’t want the church to end. However, I want my family to perish.”

And, time to devote to the church.

Saten is expressionless, but she said with a small quivering eyebrow.

“I want you to look at me. I’m different from Estiya. Please pour all of your time into me.”

A time when you weren’t there this time.

At the moment when we are alone.

Saten said, clasping mine with her cold hand.

“As much as you need us. I need an uncle too. Therefore… “

Next time, don’t be away for a long time.

“Because I will follow you even if it is far away. Please don’t leave me alone.”

Saten begged in a trembling voice.

In such a desperate situation, the only answer I could give was to know.

It was clearly a lie to say that dawn is the time to be honest.
