35 – Report

Lucia believed that when she overworked her body, the poor condition that came her way created gaps in really important situations.

Therefore, training your body as if you are chipping away at it without rest like Siron is a method that is not preferred because it is impossible.

It’s good to train. However, taking breaks in between workouts is also important. The habit of leaving room for just in case, which is already ingrained in us like an instinct, remains the same even though our bodies have changed.

The girls, who had heated up their bodies, relaxed and chatted in a pavilion near the well of the training center.

There was nothing particularly special about the story.

Except for Lucia’s previous life, she lived a boring life digging potatoes in the field, and Siriel was still nine years old, without much experience.

“To sum it up, you mean there’s a huge ship floating in the sky? It’s made of steel again, right?”

But once in a while, when we talked, there were times when I was surprised like this. Lucia doesn’t know what Siriel knows. The subtle difference in this part could have been taken for granted considering the background of the times, but the difference is so great that it is inevitable to have doubts.

“Yeah, I’ve been riding for the first time this time too. But is there? How big is it, but how fast is it? It took only two days to get from the capital to the vicinity here. According to my grandpa, it’s probably faster than the train.”

“I can’t believe it. I heard before that the train is twice as fast as a running horse.”

Lucia felt a sense of relief as her pounding heart calmed down. I’m glad a good kid like Siriel told me in advance. Someone with a bad personality must have made fun of her and called her a country girl after seeing her reaction.

Siriel continued talking to Lucia, who showed an interesting reaction.

“So Lucia, you’ve never even ridden a train? He said he was born and raised in the Heln region. “The distance between there and here must be quite a bit.”

“…Well… When my father came here, he carried me on his shoulders like a piece of luggage and ran.”

Lucia answered with a bitter smile.

Suddenly, my heart aches.

There were ships that flew in the sky and iron blocks that ran on the ground, but Glenn gave up on those good things and ran across the ground until he got seasick. It’s hard for Lucia to say it, but her father, Glenn, was an ignorant and uncultured man despite his appearance.

“Why did you do that? “There would be a carriage, but it would be inconvenient.”

“He might be a bit of a miser. “Why bother riding when running is faster?”

“Strange.”

Siriel laughed while covering her mouth at Lucia’s joke, and Lucia chuckled at her little friend’s innocent reaction.

“hmm.”

As Siriel finished speaking, she put a straw in her mouth. Speaking of straws, it was Ensia’s special service for girls who only choose cute things.

The refreshing acidity of the lemonade energized her drowsy body, and Siriel licked her lips and shivered slightly.

“It would be nice if Lucia could ride the airship too.”

“…I know.”

“Since the succession ceremony is over, they will break up soon, right?”

“……”

From noble mtl dot com

“I hope this day never ends.”

His head bowed and his fingers wiggled, his cousin looked somewhat lonely.

Like a puppy abandoned on the side of the road. Seeing that scene, Lucia felt like her stomach was swollen.

As if he had noticed her feelings, Siriel straightened up and shook the shade from her face.

“Sorry. I just made a sound of losing steam.”

Siriel tried to keep a smile on her face. And then I looked at Lucia. I wanted all of my memories with my first friend to be good memories. But how could Lucia not notice that unnaturalness? Her friend’s somewhat awkward laugh made Lucia’s heart ache.

‘Wouldn’t you be upset with me?’

Lucia lowered her head and let out a deep sigh.

The day she met Siriel was only about three days, but it seems to have been enough for a feeling of friendship to blossom. The appearance that Siriel showed was more than enough to win Lucia’s favor.

In that way, Lucia was able to find herself regretting the planned breakup.

‘He’s such a good kid.’

Even though she was still young, Siriel had a lot of innocence.

She never made excuses for being the daughter of a noble family, and she certainly never spoke rudely to her employees. Lucia was a little moved by the fact that she did not forget to say thank you even when receiving lemonade.

‘Is this the first friend I’ve made in this life…’

Before I came here, there were a few children of similar age, but they were mischievous beasts who were more faithful to their instincts than their reason. Lucia is, of course, an outsider. Although the physical age is the same, the mental age is different, which has created a huge barrier in human relationships.

But there was something different about Siriel. Why?

The reason for this quickly comes to mind.

We share the same feelings and like each other.

I feel better when we are together.

The wall was easily torn down in front of the dreamy and refreshing emotions.

Sometimes I selfishly think that age is just a trivial thing.

When I looked at Siriel with her shadowy face, I felt my heart tingling and feeling dizzy. Is that why?

“Siriel.”

Lucia held Siriel’s hand. My hands were cold from being outside for a long time and were a little rough, uncharacteristic of a child.

“Yes?”

“I will definitely go to the capital to meet you someday!”

“……”

“Until then, you must not forget me. “It’s a promise.”

“Lucia…!”

So the two girls hugged each other and made an endless promise.

It was a little later that Lucia received Hugo’s call.

“Great! “We will be living in the same house from now on!”

“…Yes, I’m really… happy.”

Siriel laughed brightly, but Lucia’s face turned bright red. I realized late that I had done something shameful.

Why did he do that? Even Lucia didn’t know that. However, I knew very well that what I was feeling now was embarrassment.

phut-

Bang- Bang-

That night,

Lucia slept with a blanket instead of a blanket.

*

Macal Mountains.

A huge belt that divides the demonic landscape from the rest.

It was more correct to say that this place was closer to a demonic realm than to royalties.

Berta had never been to the Devil’s Nest, but thought it would be a good match even if he competed against the Devil’s Nest.

There seemed to be a lot of witches that I had never seen before.

I just go back the way I came from the castle to the lake, but unlike the time I came, there are many monsters attacking me.

thud-

“Heo-euk… Keu-heo-eok.”

The same goes for the demon who just stopped breathing.

This is my first time seeing a demonic beast. It was a new type of thing that was not even written down in the instructions and guidebook I received when I was a young chick, and I was confused about how it moved, confusing my judgment.

‘sh*t. ‘Why is it rolling when it has legs?’

Berta spat out blood and massaged her swollen wrist.

If I had been in good physical condition, I wouldn’t have suffered this much…

Crackling-

‘Monstrous inspiration.’

Bertha’s molars scream.

The old man, that is, Johann, hit Bertha enough to barely walk on his own feet. I was afraid to leave the injured patient alone, but the inspiration really did. There is no such thing as a special lease. After coming to Inje, I noticed that the special lease was a place full of humanity.

‘Let’s concentrate.’

Even while taking a breath, her legs did not rest.

You can’t stay still. You shouldn’t make a sick tee.

As it is written in the encyclopedia, the monsters were always hungry, and when they were judged to be prey, they rushed at them without hesitation.

patter-

Something fell from above. It’s also my first time seeing a demonic beast. It looked like a creepy bat. Bats are naturally disgusting animals, but since they have been labeled as disgusting, it is difficult to even express how hideous they look.

Whoosh—-

Bertha wrapped her sword in strength. The blue energy overflowed and created the shape of a brilliant flame.

Erase random thoughts. How will this guy attack? The only thought that fills Berta’s head is how to kill the person in front of her. Since she doesn’t know how the opponent will move or what tactics they will use to catch her off guard, all she can do is alert her entire body.

Wow!

The snout opens to reveal fine teeth.

Kagagak!

The blade covered with strength is bitten. Even though the output was increased to maximum, there was not a single scratch in the mouth. The main armament was sealed.

However, the opponent’s only means of attack is a strong jaw. On the other hand, there were many moves Bertha could use.

Phew!

A powerful kick hits the stomach, and the area where the impact was delivered bursts helplessly.

“……after.”

So, after several more fights, Berta was able to return. At the end of the struggle, the landscape seen was a lonely castle.

As a result of working diligently, I was able to come this far.

Is it because of the relief that this hardship is finally over?

Berta’s eyes began to get moist.

The tears I feel proud of myself for surviving in a harsh remote area with only a knife are hot sweat that I am not embarrassed to show to anyone.

However, the tear ducts dried up in an instant.

It’s because of a certain master who came out to meet Berta, who was in tatters.

“Where have you been and now are you coming back?”

“…that is.”

Like a mountain beyond a mountain. Bertha bit her lip at the appearance of an opponent more difficult than the magic beast. However, unexpected words came out of Siron’s mouth.

“Do you know how worried I was?”

“…yes?”

A bewildered sound came out of Bertha’s mouth.

For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong. I can’t believe such kind words came from that young master’s mouth.

“Jeong, is it really true?”

“What would I do if I lied to you?”

With those words as a signal, Bertha ran like a dog. My nose is sore from the hard work I did all day. Bertha was filled with emotion and hugged Siron.

“Teacher. I… Jin, I almost died.”

“Yes. I thought you had a hard time. But that’s true.”

“……yes?”

Berta shed tears as she hugged Siron’s small body, but Siron did not wipe her tears away. What he held out instead of a handkerchief was paper and a pen.

“what is this?”

“I have to work. Did you forget to write the report?”

“……”

“Why don’t you take it? My arm is going to fall off.”

“Um. Can’t I just rest for a bit? I’m going to pass out now…”

“Then let’s take a break and write. You can do it, right?”

“……Yes. You can do it.”

“Okay. Let’s do our best.”

Bertha’s head naturally nodded. I felt like if I talked back now, something big would happen.
