Chapter 39

39 – NTL Operation (7)

“… Are you surprised?”

A space filled with white everywhere.

The muscles in the woman’s face trembled as if in spasm.

From noble mtl dot com

Unbelievable things are happening in the outside world right now.

Luna is a rare talent who may or may not be born once in several tens of centuries.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that she was born solely for her fight, she’s being pushed so recklessly.

For just one man.

“I never thought there would be other people like this monster besides Luna.”

He sits still and does nothing.

Rather, he was just specifying the hitting point calmly as if to hit it.

Still, it was Luna who got hurt every time she attacked.

“Look at this. Were you not quiet?”

The woman raised her chin up.

At first glance, the man appears to be sitting still.

It was clearly seen in her eyes, which had power.

The moment the attack was launched, he counterattacked Luna at an unimaginable speed.

Without a single difference, only ‘as much as the power applied’.

“I never thought there would be other monsters like this other than Luna.”

I didn’t feel any different energy from the man.

He said he was a hero, but he didn’t feel the divine power either. His musculature and mana amount were only at the level of ordinary people.

However, this was a trick.

While possessing enormous power, he hid his power.

That’s why it was even more surprising.

Just as you cannot cover the sun with your hands.

He can’t hide the vast amount of power he tries to hide.

One way or another, it is bound to rise like smoke.

By the way, what about that man?

He was so close to perfection that he suppressed his strength.

“… I can’t help it against a monster like that.”

She clicked her tongue and decided to revise her plans.

Luna can’t kill that monster.

No, no human can kill that man.

At least, as long as he doesn’t step out himself.

Tak.

The woman snapped her fingers.

Luna rises from her bottom.

“Stop killing men.”

Her body won’t be able to stand it if she keeps attacking like this.

That means that her own comfort will soon become a problem.

So, it was right to stop at this point.

Luna nods her head with her expressionless face.

“Instead, keep chasing that man. I was interested.”

There are so many fun things in the world.

From humans to demons.

Like a fancy banquet, it was full of various foods.

Come and take over Luna’s body as soon as possible, she was the one who wants to enjoy this fun world.

Koo Goo Goo Goong.

At that time, the space of the spirit world filled with white began to shake violently as if an earthquake had occurred.

She muttered regretfully with her face.

“This is it.”

The ego boundary that Marmont had torn down has begun to be restored.

It is now impossible to issue direct commands.

Still, he gave the order to chase the man.

Luna will go after the man at her own command.

“See you again, Luna. Take good care.”

Her new model disappeared.

Ddududuk.

I turned my head around.

“Not there, just over the shoulder.”

Five minutes had already passed since Luna started hitting me.

She was still swinging her fist at me.

“No, not the vitals. Are you going to hit me on the shoulder? That won’t be a massage.”

Good is good.

I had the image of getting a massage after being beaten.

Even though I didn’t feel any pain, it was something cool.

Of course, Luna doesn’t listen to me.

Stand tall.

Then, Luna stopped attacking.

“Are you going to stop now?”

“… My, what am I doing?”

I urgently turned my head.

It seems she has come to her senses.

“Luna? Are you out of your mind?”

“Spirit? What happened? Erica… “

Luna looked around her with a bewildered expression.

I touched my chin and thought.

‘… I didn’t expect this until now.’

In her original work, she went mad and never returned to her sanity.

That could mean changing your strategy and pretending to be back to normal.

I thought so and shook my head.

This is nonsense.

If an accident had been possible, he would have gone after the children, not against me.

“… Are you feeling better?”

“The body… ? Hey, why are all my clothes stained with blood?”

“It’s not the stains that matter, it’s the scars.”

“… What hurt? There are no wounds.”

“!”

She scanned Luna’s body with her wide eyes.

She As she said, her tattered wrists and legs are back intact as if they had never been.

‘What… ?’

Luna’s body is a monster beyond the human category.

But, no matter how much she heals her body without using magic.

Isn’t this worse than demons?

“Hero, why are you looking at me so insidiously?”

“I didn’t look at you slyly… ! No. Done.”

She sighed and said.

I don’t know right now anyway.

More than that, how should I treat her in the future? That’s the problem.

‘There is no guarantee that you won’t go crazy like before, just because you’ve come back to your senses for a while.’

She was like a ticking time bomb.

To put it bluntly, who knows when it will go crazy again?

So, getting rid of Luna here…

“What happened to me? Tell me please….”

“… ….”

I clicked my tongue.

Anyway, the current Luna is in a state of sanity.

How could she do such a thing?

“Marmont is dead. The thing on your clothes is his blood.”

“… Did you save me this time too? It’s the same with Erica, what should I do if I keep getting help?”

Luna said, tying her fingers awkwardly.

When she sees that figure, it is in stark contrast to her and her appearance, which she had just attacked in her trance.

‘… It’s like a charm of eight colors.’

She raised her hand nonchalantly as if it were okay.

“By the way, where is Erica? I can’t see Patissia and Bella either.”

“I went to the bathroom.”

“… Ah.”

Luna smiles embarrassedly.

I was deep in thought as I touched my temples.

‘To be honest, I don’t know if she’ll go crazy again.’

Did she attack the benefactor who saved her?

Even I will be shocked by this.

So, I’ll have to watch the progress until dawn.

Because in order to go down the mountain range anyway, like it or not, the day has to be bright.

‘It’s going to be a long day.’

The day finally dawned.

The party, including me, descended from the mountains as if nothing had happened.

Thanks to my efforts, Luna didn’t know the truth about last night.

I made up my mind to keep this as a secret.

“But Luna. Why do you keep trying to stick next to Gerard?”

Her Seina on her right side within her, her twinkle her, glared at her.

Then, Luna responds in amazement.

“… Isn’t it? I’m just following Erica.”

“I’m going with my older sister, right?”

“… ….”

I let out a sigh and dropped the two of them.

“Stop both.”

The road is so wide, I don’t know why they stick to me.

“This is our village—!”

How long did it take?

We finally arrived at La Rochelle Village.

Seina whispers to me carefully.

“Gerard, what are you going to do with Luna?”

“I have to take him.”

Last night, I pondered over Luna’s treatment.

Her In conclusion, taking her was the wisest choice for her.

If by any chance she goes crazy again, no one can stop her.

Starting with the villagers, many people will be slaughtered.

So, it was better to be by my side.

In case Luna goes crazy, I can stop her.

She will also use her talent to help me.

And when you’re crazy, wouldn’t it be better if the person you see next to you isn’t a human but a demon?

‘Damn it, because of that bastard Marmont, the mouthpieces are off one by one.’

According to her original plan, Luna should have naturally met her saintess and received healing while helping her humans.

However, there was a setback due to the elephant’s intrusion.

‘How should I say it?’

Regardless. I have to persuade her Luna to take her, but I don’t know if she will gladly come after me.

In addition, the problem is more complicated because the hero is even listed as a gura.

It was when she was scratching her head and lost in thought.

“Hero.”

Luna spoke to me quietly.

“Why is that?”

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

She said with a very serious face.

I nodded her head in agreement.

“Seina, take care of the children.”

“… I am not good at taking care of children.”

Seina looks at me as if asking for help.

She didn’t see what happened with the kids yesterday, but it was a rough guess.

‘… I know. Parenting is hell.’

I laughed out loud for no reason.

Even Seina, who has good stamina, can’t help it.

“What do you mean?”

That’s how she left.

We stopped at the entrance of the village.

Luna pursed her cherry-like lips, as if her words were not easily flowing.

“… As you saw last time, I am rather strong.”

‘I know this.’

Thanks to being slapped last night, I felt it more.

By the way, what do you mean by saying this?

“Besides, I am good at washing dishes, cleaning, and cooking.”

“I want you to tell me directly. So what do you want to say?”

Perhaps Luna is trying to get married to me, and she continues to promote herself.

She said, scratching her eyebrows as if she didn’t understand.

From noble mtl dot com

“Okay. I’ll tell you straight forward. I know it’s a nuisance, but could you please take me and Erica with you?”

‘What?’

I barely pressed the collar that was about to come up.

I was thinking about how to say it, but things went well like this?

“… It’s embarrassing, but in the meantime, I’ve received several offers for the Knights. It will surely be of help to the hero as well.”

“I wonder why he is doing this all of a sudden.”

“… Yes”

“What?”

“… I want to follow you until I die.”

“!”

I looked at Luna with a dumbfounded face.

This is a confession of love, right?

“This may sound strange. But, if I don’t follow the hero, I think what will happen to me. Erika and I talked about it last night, so if it’s okay with you… !”

“Good. I will take you.”

“Really?!”

“Yes, as long as you keep two conditions.”

She spread two fingers.

Gulp.

Swallows her saliva with her face that says Luna can take anything.

“First, I am not a hero… “

“A demon?”

“… Aren’t you surprised?”

“I already knew. I told you. He said he smelled like demons. What is the second?”

I opened my mouth as if I had waited.

“This is actually the most important thing.”

“Yes, whatever… I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Don’t like me.”

Luna’s expression distorted.

Three days have passed.

We have returned to the monarchy again.

Including the new talent, Luna.

“As you said, Lady Erica has arranged for her to enter the Kingdom Academy.”

After hearing Darmian’s words, my aide, I nodded my head with a satisfied face.

“Good job.”

“No. Rather, there was a message from the overlord.”

“Tell me.”

“Yes, the monarch said he would hold a banquet upon his return.”

“A banquet?”

“Yes. He said he wanted to congratulate me on being commissioned as the 7th Lord and commend him for his brilliant performance on the battlefield of Maslantia.”

“No need.”

I waved my hands roughly.

There is no need for a banquet or anything grandiose.

If you go there, you’ll see the faces of those squeamish monarchs.

Just give me the phoenix tears I mentioned.

“He asked me to tell him that if I said no, he would be disappointed.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“If I said it didn’t matter, he said he would give me a difficult mission.”

“… What are we going to do?”

I glared at Darmian.

He bowed his head.

“Sorry. I will also deliver the word to the end.”
