70 – Under the pitch-black night

“If that person appears in front of you again, Deren… do you have to follow that person no matter what?”

“It’s as if you are asking knowingly.”

“Because I was very interested in the Bluemont family.”

“I don’t know what you’re asking, but I guess I have no choice but to answer yes.”

Maybe he didn’t like that fact either? Darren sighed, and then asked me back with a very serious expression.

“But why are you curious about that?”

“I’m worried that the fallen warrior might reappear. “I’m also worried about Daisy…”

“Well, there is almost no chance of him coming out into the world again, but if he happens, I will have to find a way too.”

“I see.”

“But there is a more important story than that.”

“···?”

“Camel.”

Darren narrowed his eyes and opened his lips, glaring at me as if he were going to kill me.

“The matriarch is definitely Daisy. “So that my son-in-law can only support me.”

“Why are you suddenly talking like such an idiot…?”

“Don’t act like a fool. Considering how much he knows about the family, it seems like he’s trying to seduce our Daisy and eat our whole family. “The matriarch is definitely Daisy.”

What kind of bullshit is this?

I had to hold the back of her neck while looking at Darren, who was spouting bullshit with a serious expression.

“It’s not like that…”

“Or else.”

Darren chuckled and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hand.

Was he originally such a playful person?

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Darren’s face.

“By the way, can I ask one more question?”

“Damn, I got caught wrong. What a troublesome and talkative son-in-law. “Oh, my dear.”

“···I’m not your son-in-law yet.”

“Not yet? Then really…! What a vicious bastard… Look, Camel, please keep that in mind. “If by any chance my son-in-law gets Daisy pregnant before marriage, I will definitely put him on his deathbed.”

“Please…”

Deron’s bullshit begins again.

His head is pounding. I want to have a serious conversation, but the more I open my mouth, the more it becomes a conversation from another world.

“I understand. I was in charge. Okay, what’s the question? “Let me just listen to one more thing.”

Has he finally noticed that my expression is fading?

Darren asked, scratching the back of his head as if he was embarrassed, and I opened my lips in a serious tone, desperately hoping that Darren wouldn’t spout bullshit.

“If we could get rid of the contract tied to the Bluemont family, would you be willing to become Mort’s enemy?”

When I asked, Darren’s face immediately began to harden.

****

‘I intend to become an enemy…’

Deren was sitting in the carriage, pondering the words that the cocky kid had said.

‘That can’t be possible.’

Thoughts like that, Darren felt that the moving carriage had suddenly stopped and he opened his eyes.

-Ratly.

The carriage door opened, and a man covered in a black robe came in and sat down in front of Darren.

“You still have the habit of appearing suddenly.”

“Looking for someone.”

“You still only talk about necessary matters.”

“A boy with black hair and red eyes. He appears to be around seventeen to twenty years old, and manipulates starlight. “The level is at least master level.”

“Oh my god.”

Deren was truly surprised.

Once I saw this hero I hadn’t seen in a long time, he was looking for someone.

Twice he realized that someone was the person he saw yesterday.

Three times, he realized that the child’s strength, which he had not even been able to understand, was at a master level.

Darren, surprised three times in a row, narrowed his eyes and asked Mort a question.

“Why are you looking for that child?”

“He has what I need.”

“What do you need?”

“We have to find it quickly… Quickly.”

Mort pulled back his hood, and Darren gulped as he saw the black spots spreading across Mort’s face.

“What are you going to do if you find it?”

“I have to take it away.”

“It means killing.”

“···You talk back more.”

“Thanks to you, I went through all the hardships, but now I’m being scolded for being a fallen hero’s porter. Can’t you even talk back to me like this?”

“···.”

Did I feel a bit of guilt? Darren felt indescribably frustrated as he looked at his warrior who was silent and did not respond.

“Darren, do you know the kid I was talking about?”

Was it an illusion that he felt guilty? Darren resented Mort, who only talked about business without asking how he was doing.

Yet I cannot refuse it.

These damned shackles of fate have been bound to his and his daughter’s ankles since their birth.

-“If you could get rid of the contract tied to the Bluemont family, would you be willing to become Mort’s enemy?”

As he was thinking about this, Darren recalled the loud words that Camel had uttered in his head.

Contract, Enemy, Daisy, etc.

Many words and thoughts clutter Darren’s mind.

“No.”

After overcoming the storm for a short period of time and coming to one conclusion, Darren responded to his warrior.

****

Kain was taken by Darren, and we were returning to Adenia aboard the magic sailboat.

Under a pitch-black night with stars lighting up the sky.

I was sitting on the top of the sailboat, looking out at the sea, lost in thought.

‘What kind of butterfly effect will occur this time?’

The Darren I met during the day was a man with a cheerful and playful personality, unlike his appearance in the original work.

I asked Darren like that. If the contract tied to the family disappears, how will you act?

-“I’ll have to weigh it and see which choice will produce better results.”

Deren answered ambiguously, and after hearing this, I was certain of one thing.

Daisy’s father, former porter of the warrior party,

They say we can prevent Darren’s corruption.

“We have to move quickly.”

If I move quickly, Daisy will not have to lose her father, and the Empire will be able to preserve vital power.

More than anything, you can save countless people who would be sacrificed by the corrupted Darren.

“What are you moving fast?”

As I was making a promise to myself, the fragrant scent of roses and a refreshing voice reached the tip of my nose.

“This?”

When I turned my head, I saw Rose bending her palms and shaking them up and down.

“I see you’re saying something strange, so I guess you’re okay.”

“Yes, thanks to someone.”

When I scolded her, Rose smiled brightly and sat next to me.

Rose’s white skirt flutters in the wind.

Rose’s shiny bright red hair flutters in the wind.

“Thank you.”

“What?”

“For protecting me this time too.”

“Well, it’s just a matter of course to say hello.”

“I really made up my mind this time.”

What else have you decided?

Tilts her head and looks at Rose.

Unlike before, I see Rose’s eyes full of life and her pretty but determined face.

“From now on, I will never lose to guys like Jetty. “I won’t be scared.”

“Okay, well thought out.”

“That’s what I’m saying, Camel.”

“···?”

“Teach me swordsmanship again. As before.”

“When do you say you don’t have time because you’re studying, and now?”

“I wanted to protect something more important than studying. So are you going to teach me or not? “Answer me quickly.”

Rose puffed out her cheeks and urged me to answer.

As she looks at that pretty figure, she bursts out laughing.

It’s amazing. Rose’s attitude of not being consumed by her nightmares, but rather using them as an opportunity to develop further.

“Ouch! “Why are you hitting me?”

Is that why? I was able to answer by gently tying Rose’s chestnut to her forehead, which looked even more lovely than usual.

“Punishment for asking an obvious question.”

“Chi…”

“I know that, because I’m going to be a lot tougher than when I was younger.”

I said that while happily looking at Rose, who was pouting her lips.

Teaching Rose her swordsmanship was a bit of a hassle, but it was also something I was happy to do.

Rose was one of the few friends in this world that I could have my back and trust.

It was clear that if Rose became stronger, she would be of great help to me in the future.

‘Not just Rose, but the other kids as well.’

When I had no choice but to leave the mansion.

Fran, Daisy, and Rose saved the children for me and bought me time. Seiji, who arrived late with me, also assisted me in many ways.

Thanks to this, no one lost their lives and the situation was easily resolved.

If I were alone, something would definitely have gone wrong and an embarrassing situation would have occurred to me.

This will remain the same in the future.

I was already thinking that from now on, I will not try to solve the problem on my own, but will accept all the help I can get.

In the meantime, you asked me to teach you swordsmanship first.

It was only natural that the already pretty Rose looked even prettier today.

“Camel, but you know.”

“···?”

“No.”

While doing so, Rose suddenly appears to hesitate.

Puzzled, I tilted my head and asked back.

“What are you worried about?”

“Yes. I can do it, but there is one thing that is harder than I thought. “I don’t know what to do next.”

What are you worried about?

I was curious, so rather than asking questions, I wanted to provide clues to the problem.

So, I opened my lips in a warm tone.

“Do it.”

Then Rose’s eyes, who were looking at me, widened like a rabbit.

“I told you. “It’s a hundred times better to commit than to regret not doing.”

“That’s true, but…”

“Why are you thinking about cleaning things up? If you think things can’t be resolved, tell me. I’ll take care of it. So just commit it first.”

“Are you really going to fix it?”

“Well, are you asking the obvious?”

“Okay. “Then I’ll just commit it.”

After answering that.

Why is my head lowered?

Rose still seemed to be hesitating.

What on earth are you worried about that makes you do that?

I was just about to tilt my head while thinking that.

“···?”

Rose grabbed my face viciously with both of her hands, then turned it towards her.

-Side.

The thing that suddenly hit my lips.

A soft and pleasant texture surrounds your lips.

Rose’s fragrant scent tickles her nose.

While I was dumbfounded by the sudden situation.

“Well, I just put a seal on it to protect it. Well, I know that. Sue, you decided to take care of the situation, so take care of it!”

She walked away from me and Rose started talking gibberish, then let out a scream, and then she stormed into the cabin.

“Uh…”

After the accident stopped, I had to sit like that for a while, stroking my still moist lips.

****

Daisy was in a very good mood.

Because, she herself has these golden star-shaped earrings that she carefully cups in the palm of her hand.

“You’re so pretty.”

Beautiful appearance, this earring has tremendous performance.

This artifact, whose value is so great that it is difficult to put a price on, was an artifact that Daisy received as a gift from Camel.

“Camel, as expected of me…”

Did you like it?

Daisy muttered that, and even though she had an embarrassed expression on her face, she smiled and started running the delusion circuit.

‘What on earth are you asking me for using these earrings… After all, Camel is also a man. I have to be nervous, when will they mess with this pretty me…’

Daisy, who came up on deck to get some fresh air while having such a delusion, had to immediately stop her delusional circuit.

“···!”

Because she saw the man and woman sitting at the top doing something outrageous.

Suddenly, the star-shaped earrings that Daisy was holding fell to the floor without any force.
