The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire - The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire chapter 71

71 – You must never provoke the campers (2)

Of course, I didn’t mean to send them alone. I was going to form a suitable team and divide the group that guards the fortress and the group that follows Cluna. It was obviously the perfect plan, I thought.

But what is this? Clara and I went after it together. The rest of the members refused to follow. Clearly, something is going to happen in this case.

So, the opinion of the members was that it was right to go with as few people as possible. No, but what about an emergency? The answer to that question is…….

“There is a leader!”

“Oh, that’s right! If the captain goes with you, it will definitely help!”

“I’ll let you be the acting captain.”

“……If the teacher wants it…… I have no choice but to endure……”

Isn’t the reliability maxed out? f*ck! No, of course Clara isn’t weak. It’s true that I belong to the relatively weak side among the members. Yes?

Besides, I’m weaker than that Clara!! f*ck!!!! But I couldn’t say it as it is. How can you tell the truth from the side of the person?

Even Clara was in a very serious mood, unlike usual. At least, that ruby was enough to encourage Clara. But how can I object?

That action was no different from pouring dozens of barrels of oil into a burning house. In the end, I ended up chasing Cluna alone with Clara by crying and eating mustard. f*ck this

“I have found the traces of my mother. Let’s quickly follow them.”

“Let’s hurry.”

As a hopeful observation, the tracking will take some time. I wondered if that was enough to calm Clara’s anger. Of course, that didn’t happen.

Clara learned a lot from Cluna. Although not as much as her mother, Clara also had considerable talent. Among them, the pursuit technology was also present.

Besides, Cluna seems to have been in a hurry too, although she erased the traces. Clara was able to find and track Cluna’s traces without difficulty. I don’t even know if I can see it.

Clara moved on and on, almost non-stop. Thanks to that, I was the only one who was following behind him. In the end, I even used time stop and barely caught up.

“Wait…”

“Even at this moment, my mother… No, no. You can’t think like that.”

“Uh…”

“What’s up? Captain.”

“Go as fast as you can.”

I tried to rest because it was so hard in the middle. How could he say to rest in such a state of anxiety? Nobody else’s, but my mother’s safety is at stake.

Thanks to that, Clara and I were able to reach Lamiat Forest in only three days. Lamyat Forest was a huge forest right before entering the Alex Mountains located in the central part.

Considering that it took more than 15 days on horseback from Lionheart Fortress to Lamiat Forest. Right now, it was as if Clara and I were moving at breakneck speed.

Of course, it was only possible thanks to the shortcut Clara knew and she didn’t go back and ran all the way in her own way. Soon night fell, and Clara and I lit a campfire and sat down.

“Simply brought food.”

“Sorry, I have no idea.”

“Eat at least a little. Then you will be strong enough to catch up tomorrow.”

“Thank you.”

Clara had her legs folded into her arms. It looked like a child who couldn’t stand the anxiety. For a while, Clara and I didn’t say anything.

“I didn’t know there was a race that could follow elves in the forest.”

Maybe it’s because it’s hard to bear the long silence. Clara opened her mouth slowly as she slurped her food. I think it’s great too. I really thought I was going to die in the middle, damn it.

It’s a shame because he trains hard in the middle of the time stop ability. If it weren’t for both of them, I wouldn’t even have been able to catch up with Clara. It was that hard.

“As expected, do I lack a lot compared to other elves?”

“?”

Uh, wait a minute. Is it suddenly self-reproach time here? I looked at Clara in surprise. However, Clara kept his head down. He instinctively sensed being f*cked.

“I was always full of confidence. Looking back, all I could see was failure.”

“Wait a minute.”

“If it was another elf, would the leader have been able to catch up? Couldn’t it be because I was caught up?”

“Clara.”

“Something like me is beyond salvation. That’s why my mother abandoned me too.”

“Clara!!”

“……!!!”

I grabbed Clara by the shoulder and shook her, just before she fell further into the pit of her self-reproach. Only then did Clara come to her senses. Tears welled up in her eyes.

I tried calling him once. What more do I have to say here? There were just no words to comfort her. If you do something wrong and touch the evil or give the feeling of empty consolation.

In the worst case, the relationship could deteriorate. I couldn’t think too long about it. In a short time, I squeezed out my best thoughts and let the most plausible words flow out of my mouth.

“Nothing is certain yet.”

“Then why did my mother abandon me? It’s not because I’m not trustworthy!”

“Then ask the other way around. How can you be sure of that?”

“Don’t talk back. I don’t need any comforting words!”

The response was more intense than expected. Damn, I didn’t mean this. I desperately shook my head. For now, the priority is to somehow calm down Clara. So.

Instead of answering, I hugged Clara. I wondered what would happen if I refused, but luckily I wasn’t pushed back. Clara seemed taken aback by the unexpected situation.

“I’m sure. Your mother doesn’t disrespect you. Rather, she loves you.”

“That’s…”

“Think of the first time she joined the Royal Knights. What was it like then?”

“…….”

“Because I’m worried about you. Because I love you. Didn’t I come all the way here from the forest?”

The important thing now is not to tell the truth. It’s important to somehow get Clara to dispel the negative thoughts. So, you need to tell the best story possible.

Even if those words are irrelevant to the current situation. Clara, who had been listening silently in my arms, quietly hugged my back. It was so powerful that I was shocked at the moment.

The soft touch of an elf’s arm…… I was barely able to hold back the fact that I almost screamed because I hugged her so tightly. Now, wait a minute. If you hug me too tightly, you won’t be able to breathe…… !

“I became a knight because I wanted to be recognized by my mother.”

“I see.”

“So, never show weakness.”

“Rather than that…”

“So, I’ll stay like this for a while. Please.”

f*ck.

In the end, I was able to calm down Clara by sacrificing my back. Apparently her emotions had subsided over time, and Clara was blushing with her embarrassment.

I grabbed my aching back and barely stood up. The night had already passed and morning was approaching, but the sprained back from last night was still painful. Can I follow Clara today?

At the time when I was thinking about it in advance. After clearing the bonfire, Clara stood up. I barely got up while hiding the pain. Looking at me like that, Clara slowly opened her mouth.

“Let’s go straight after it.”

“Doesn’t it need to rush after me?”

“Yes, there is still time.”

“I’m glad then.”

I felt like my back would break if I ran too hard like yesterday. It was fortunately out of misfortune. At that time, Clara, who was making eye contact with me, averted her gaze in surprise.

“What happened?”

“Oh, nothing! I’m going to wash my face for a second!”

“Take it easy and come back.”

Please.

Because my back hurts and I’m dying.

At first, I just had the impression that he was a great person.

That’s because I easily subdued Ruby’s cooperative attack with me. Rather, I felt resentful. Complex…… Should I say, there was such a thing. But it wasn’t a bad feeling.

It’s a strange thing. When I was at the Royal Knights, Ruby and I were fighting against each other. Not from another race, even if pushed out by humans. Rather, it feels like admitting it.

Even when my mother came to visit me, and when I got stuck with her demons once again. Strangely, I didn’t feel any fear. I had the belief that I could win somehow if I was with the leader.

At some point, I was following the leader. Looking at that unshakable back, overcoming the fear of the past. Could come this far. And I still think the same.

The cold water wet his face. His face, which had been burning hot, cooled slightly. However, that was only a stopgap. Do you think you will go back and face the leader?

Unbeknownst to me, my face was stained red. I don’t know why it suddenly happened like this. No way…… No, no. It can’t be. I erased the thought that came to my mind for a very short time.
