42 – The sound of crows

A narrow, confined space where one limb cannot be stretched properly. There is only one thing that is different now from when I was a child. It was only whether he could stretch his limbs or not.

“Hey, open it!!! Open it!!!!!!”

She hurriedly knocked on the door and screamed at her, but no one would open it. The thick and thick iron gate was as hard as it was in childhood and now. She was panting incessantly because her breathing was not working properly.

A space that still often appears in nightmares. I thought I had almost forgotten it, but it wasn’t at all. A sense of fear from the depths of the unconscious invades the whole body.

“Hey, open it!! Open it!!”

She frantically knocks on her door until she can’t hold it back and buries her face in her lap, shedding tears.

“Please……Please help someone……”

The feeling of an invisible rope tightening her neck. A very narrow room. A terrible darkness where you can’t even see an inch. Fear began to erode her willpower.

Her parents knew her too well.

If you keep her locked up like this for about three days, she will say that she will do whatever her parents ask her out of fear and horror. The trauma imprinted in her childhood was not something she could overcome with willpower.

“No, that’s right.”

Then, she suddenly recalled her past memories from a long time ago. Around the age of 10 she. There was one butler from a commoner who was particularly fond of her. Seria, who wanted to talk to her friends on her cell phone, was disciplined by her parents with a beating.

When she went into her room and cried, the butler secretly delivered her cell phone. She had the idea to hide this precious treasure in a place where her parents would never find it, and that was her punishment room.

I feel a small hole when I touch the corner of her punishment room while searching for her memories that have been hidden from her long ago. A hole that she would never have known about unless she had been trapped here often. There was an old, old folder phone that hadn’t been used for a long time.

She hurriedly turns on her cell phone.

A cell phone turned on with an old booting sound.

“The battery is running out…”

Less than 1%. She called Dayman with her trembling hands.

Please please.

I hope you will accept it.

And fortunately, the phone was connected.

“Only Day…….”

As I said that in a trembling voice, a familiar voice came from the other side of the receiver.

[Huh? What? Is it Seria? Where are you!! Today is the day to go to school!! Judging by your voice, it looks like you overslept!!]

Seria’s usual way of talking made her tears flow.

“Help me.”

She couldn’t breathe properly. The voice doesn’t come out properly. A moment of silence ensues on the other side of the receiver as she weeps and barely utters the words.

[What’s going on? Disciple where are you?]

A cold and bloody voice that I’ve never heard before. Seria tried to tell her where she was. But her voice didn’t come out right. Her body and mind were so traumatized that she couldn’t even give out the voice she wanted.

She just shed her tears.

[Tell me. Where are you?]

A chilly voice was heard once again. Seria desperately summoned courage. Forced to raise her voice, which doesn’t quite come out of her, she stretches out her words.

“Xavier…….. The Countess. Home.”

[Confirmed. Seria!! Keep talking!! Anything is good!!!! Don’t give up! I’m going now!!!…….]

The limit of the battery, which was not even 1% left, was just there. The old folder phone suddenly breaks. Seria hurriedly pressed the power button on her cell phone, but the cell phone did not respond.

“Ah, no……No!!! Shi, I hate it!!! No!!! Help me!!!! Help me!!!!!!”

She screamed, but no one answered her. The already cramped room felt even more cramped, and the more she struggled, the more it felt like the invisible rope around her neck was strangling her more and more.

“Ah…… Ugh.”

After messing around with her for a long time, she finally faints and droops in her darkness.

Nobody.

She was not with her.

A dark evening. Count Xavier. After enjoying a luxurious meal, her husband and wife were sitting in the study and chatting.

“What is the result of the gynecologist diagnosis?”

“I just arrived. They say her virgin is right.”

“Good thing.”

“Thanks to your clear education, I don’t cross the line even when I stray. Seria has not listened to her properly since she was a child.”

Her two couples had to make a lot of effort to control their birth daughter because of it. The punishment room was the crystallization of the result. The words of being locked up there exerted an absolute effect on her Seria.

“What can I do? A beast that does not listen to her must be beaten to come to its senses.”

At the count’s long sigh, the countess smiles.

“When he grows up, he will appreciate you.”

“I guess so. Wouldn’t the author’s daughter be hospitalized after meeting her 2nd princess and Heperion……. Not even realizing what that meant? Like a foolish b*tch.”

Paik loosens his tie halfway in annoyance. Seeing her husband like that, she was a countess who suddenly thought of something.

“By the way, Dayman. The guy Seria used to hang out with. What are you thinking about that nerd? If they come to the mansion and cause a commotion…”

“Why did you bother to hire rabbit-foot mercenaries as bodyguards? They will pay for it.”

“Still, he’s the one who beat the 3 academy professors…”

“Professor Arkhamfeld is the only person who is qualified for the academy. He’s the only one Oh. The rest were planted by people from the 1st princess or the 1st prince’s faction. People whose skills are somewhat inferior, but who came up by filling that part with flattery and notice. Even if you beat about three people like that, you won’t be able to break through the rabbit’s foot mercenaries that have been hardened in real battle.”

“I guess so. It’s because the actual experience itself is different from the beginning.”

The Count drank a glass of water from his desk in a dignified manner.

“Besides, that idiot won’t last long. I heard that Callidos is moving.”

“Are you Calidos?”

“They were famous for swordsmanship and openly belonged to the 1st princess faction. No. Even if it was a madman who was expelled, he must have been very angry that someone who was a member of the family beat the daughter of the Marquis of Heperion, a member of the same faction. They said they’d take care of it sooner or later.”

The countess smiles as if she is relieved.

“Then I’m glad. Callidos is a real slasher. I’ll take care of it from there.”

“I guess so.”

Daman Kalidos.

A being that has rapidly emerged as the hottest potato in the current aristocratic society.

There was a lot of talk about him, but Count Xavier was considerably underestimating him.

It is also true that he entered the 2nd Princess faction, the weakest faction in need of talented people, and since he is a madman who has been involved in a lot of accidents, he steals or steals from others unknown as Professor Rosemary shouted in the courtroom. Maybe that’s right, the Count thought.

“Whatever it is, it won’t last long.”

The moment he thought so and tried to drink another glass of water.

A strange sound came from outside.

“What is it?”

Her wife also turned her head out of her window, as if she had heard the sound.

Not once.

Many times.

A strange noise was heard in the darkness.

“A night crow?”

It sounded like the chirping of a night crow, a common species of bird widespread across the empire. Unlike normal crying, it was a very low and long cry, so it took time to recognize it.

“That’s funny. To hear a night crow cry in the middle of the city.”

The Count tried to think only that far. But it was next that he noticed something was strange.

The cries of crows do not stop at night.

And every time that cry continues, I start hearing sounds that shouldn’t be heard from downstairs.

A voice terrified.

A voice full of fear.

And…

Screams.

“Honey!!!”

“Stay here.”

The Count hurriedly got up from his seat. Cold sweat was running down his forehead.

I couldn’t figure out who it was. But one thing was certain.

“You are under attack.”

As he raced through the streets on his motorcycle, Dayman urgently called someone. After a moment of receiving sound, the other party on the other side of the receiver receives a call.

[Mr. Dayman? What at this hour…]

“I don’t have time, Yoo Seol-ah, Sojeo!! I’m trying to get some help because we ate on the same side!! It looks like Count Xavier and his wife kidnapped Seria and took her home!! How do you do this! I’m just going to go in and break it openly, because I’m worried that the other person is a noble!!!”

Yoo Seol-ah didn’t answer as if she was dazed for a moment at her words.

[Knapped. Is it true?]

“I can’t say for sure, but something similar must have happened!!”

[The rumors about Count Xavier and his wife certainly haven’t been good since before. Anyway, if what you said is true, the most important thing is to leave evidence. It’s the most annoying situation when the other party is going to have a legal dispute. Even if Dayman-san attacks the other person, he won’t be able to counterattack from the other side. It’s about holding on to your weaknesses.]

“You mean weakness? Seria, what about the abuse and kidnapping of her own daughter?”

[Abuse and kidnapping should be enough. If it’s that weak, it’s perfect for being bitten off by rival families. If you are a family with a decent position or size in aristocratic society like Xavier, you will most likely try not to leak it. It would be better if you recorded or filmed a video with your cell phone. But are you really sure?]

“I don’t know. But Seria’s voice was unusual.”

[I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but if you mess with the noble family……The problem will get bigger. It is also quite serious.]

“I still have to do it. There is no time for waiting around.”

[Still, wouldn’t it be better to wait a few days? Investigate in detail what I said […]

“My student asked for help. I believe in my disciple.”

There is a moment of silence beyond the receiver.

“If things go wrong, I will take full responsibility. You can deny all connection with me. What. Wasn’t I originally a ragged bastard? It would be perfect to cover it up.”

[…….Be careful.]

“Thank you. Yoo Seol-ah, so-so.”

After hanging up the phone, Dayman saw his destination in the distance. A little outskirts from Erancal, the capital. You can see the appearance of a small mansion built under the mountain. Dayman parked his motorcycle nearby and grabbed a wand and cane.

“Is there something else you want to touch? Are you touching my student?”

A huge amount of mana starts pouring into the wand and staff.

Overwhelming amounts of mana accumulated from the wand and wand, and the wand and wand trembled and soon began to emit red light and vibration.

Daman immediately cast Ghostwalk to the top of the telephone pole near the villa and started checking the security forces inside the villa.

“13 People. Enough.”

After checking the enemies with clairvoyance magic, Dayman raised his staff. He finished preparing to shoot concentrated red mana from the tip of the staff shaped like a raven’s head.

Pick! The cane was swung with a sound, and red magic bullets were fired at a speed different from Seria’s or the magic bullets shown in the midterm evaluation.

Because of the excessively concentrated mana, unlike usual, it made a strange sound.

The sound was very similar to that of a night crow.
