The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

80. Kadun (complete)

Five days since the start of the cleanup in Samir.

Fortunately, as if my efforts were not in vain, Samir’s sky was filled with blue.

‘It took another day to finish it in four days.’

I wish I could have cleaned it up though. I must have cleaned up all the magic beasts, so I unfolded the magic map to return to my abode.

“Teleport.”

In an instant, he returned to his abode. However, the atmosphere here is unusual. Well, the original purification practice site isn’t like this…

I went to Apel Cloud to inform them of the purification news.

“Samir’s purification is complete.”

“… I didn’t know you could really do it.”

“It was a bigger city than I thought, so I had a hard time, but what? It was fine though. But why is that expression on your face?”

Sunset on the face of the Apel Cloud.

I brought the news of the purification of Samir, but shouldn’t I greet you with a bright face? I’m a little embarrassed.

Appel Cloud was speechless for a while, then stood up.

“… It would be quicker to see for yourself. I will guide you.”

He left the barracks without a word.

‘What’s the matter?’

I followed him out of the barracks. The place he headed was our party’s barracks.

“What happened?”

“… … .”

Apel Cloud was silent. All he had to do was open the barracks tent and beckon to see for himself.

‘What’s the mood like? What really happened.’

When I entered the barracks, what caught my eye was…

Mikaris, who is sleeping soundly on a cot, and Ruterra, who is sweeping her face. And it was Eileen and Ronia who fell asleep facing each other.

“What’s up everyone?”

At that time, Ruterra jumped up.

“I’m sorry. I have no face to see you.”

Ruterra lowered her head and put her hand on my shoulder.

“What happened?”

I asked. Then the high priest answered instead.

“that is… . The Lady of Marquis Merian has been tainted.”

fall. My heart sank. What nonsense is that? Are the conditions I promised not fulfilled? I didn’t understand.

“How did this happen?”

I asked Apel Cloud.

“What is this about!”

I shouted at Appel Cloud.

There was no answer coming back. Only the face of Appel Cloud, who averted his gaze and lowered his head, returned.

I strode forward and felt the pulse of Mikaris. There was nothing wrong.

Check your breathing. It was normal.

I peered through her with my insightful eye and confirmed the flow of magic power. There was no problem.

“It doesn’t appear to have been contaminated. What happened?”

In response to my question, the High Priestess stepped forward.

“that is… . No face. The purification was successful, but the lady is not regaining consciousness. I’m really sorry.”

“Since when has it been like this?”

“Five days ago.”

“… … .”

shadows over my eyes

“Isn’t there something I asked for? They say the safety of my party members is important.”

“Wait, if that’s the case, I’ll explain.”

Ruterra stood up with a stunned look.

“Go outside.”

I followed Ruterra outside and headed behind the barracks.

“A great pollution storm has struck. The Archmage and High Priestess did everything they could, but… .”

“Aren’t you prepared for the unexpected?”

“… That’s right.”

Did you say this now? I clearly told them Make the safety of my party a priority. But what comes back like this? I couldn’t accept it.

As I was staring at Ruterra with a dumbfounded face, Appel Cloud came to me.

“Sir Johannes. I really have no face. I will do everything in my power to help Lady Merian wake up.”

“… Mobilize everything you can. You’d better be prepared if she doesn’t wake up. An empire might fall. I don’t want to meet the president as an enemy.”

After saying these words, I returned to the barracks where Mikaris was.

“Mr. Hound… .”

“Hound… … .”

“Please leave. I have nothing to say now.”

Ronia and Eileen, who had complicated faces, nodded and left the barracks.

“Mika. wake up.”

“… … .”

There was no answer.

“Mika!”

There were no words coming back.

Even before that, I vividly saw her smiling broadly with a pod in my hand.

But now, in front of my eyes, only the image of her with her eyes closed and not returning to consciousness remained.

I took Mikaris’ hand. Memories from the past came flooding back.

Meeting her was possible with a pure heart, like a child who stamps his feet on the snow piled up on the road on the first snowy day.

In the snowy field of the country piled up in the north, the footprint called Mikaris was stamped.

First date with her, first kiss with her. Everything went through my head. Me and her have been together all the beginnings.

But thinking that I couldn’t feel it anymore, a deep loneliness swept over me.

The loneliness I felt here was like the only flower that bloomed in a dry desert.

Did you say that there are five processes by which humans accept results?

I am now past denial and at the stage of anger.

My body was boiling. At first glance, it sounds like a scream.

The sky regained its blue color thanks to me, but my insides were stained black. The esophagus was painted black and ooze pooled in the stomach.

The blood turned to sap and spread all over the body.

Something was leaking from his eyes.

it was bittersweet.

My resentment spilled over into the living quarters. flowed into the village The cylinder flowed like rain and permeated the ground. At the same time, my heart roared with an echo.

He touched the floor with trembling hands. Is it because of anger? Or is it because of my stupidity toward myself? I must have bitten my tongue because I couldn’t clench my teeth, so both of my cheeks were deeply hollowed out.

A little later, blood dripped from his lips and ran down his jawline.

The sound of my breathing mixed with this also contained sadness.

“… … .”

Other than that, indescribable emotions took hold of me.

My hand was clutching the sand on the dirt floor. Emotions that might be anger, sadness, or hatred were condensed in my hands.

I realized. Emotions that cannot be expressed with the mouth begin with the hands.

only to wield.

Anger was just a matter of wielding the handful left in one’s hand.

After the stage of growing arrogance was over, I entered the stage of compromise. Only then did I keep my cool and find what I could do.

I went out of the barracks and asked the high priest.

“Can’t you forcefully wake up your consciousness?”

“… The current situation is impossible with human power.”

“You mean it’s possible with the power of another being?”

“I’m not even sure about that.”

“… … .”

I was silent.

“Looks like you need some alone time, so let’s go. Please make up your mind… ”

“I don’t need comfort, so go out.”

“… yes.”

The high priest came out.

“under,”

A laugh came out. If you ask why, it’s because it’s ridiculous.

Have I done anything with my own strength so far?

achievements you have achieved? That was possible by possessing an extra with crazy talent called Hound and using the special shop.

The harem you achieved? The reason why they were able to capture them was because they read the original and penetrated the gaps where they were weak.

Nothing was achieved with my own hands or only with Kim Geun-dae’s ability.

And, just when I thought the meaning of all these things was gone, my mouth opened.

“ah… … .”

The voice was slow.

What have you been most afraid of so far?

my death?

no.

About how to live away from this world?

no.

Can modern people survive in an aristocratic society where they cannot adapt?

no.

What I was most afraid of was

It was when you lost a loved one.

“after… .”

He sighed and inhaled the air, and the air was clear. Because I have cleansed these lands.

From noble mtl dot com

However, the air I breathed was more empty than anything else.

“Do you have any concerns?”

In this situation, a face that I really don’t want to see appeared.

Seri Verdia.

I never wanted to see her now because seeing her made me think of all sorts of things.

“What are you looking for? If it’s a business, next time… ”

“I know.”

“… What?”

“The way Lady Merian will wake up.”

Seri Verdia grinned. do you laugh?

“How do you know that?”

I asked ferociously.

“Don’t be too angry. You take it kindly.”

“Now say that!”

I hit the floor and got up. deep earth tremors.

“Do not worry. I will definitely wake up this way.”

“So, what is it?”

Let’s hear what you’re talking about.

“It’s a dragon.”

“Dragon words?”

“It means you need dragon magic.”

verb.

Magic made in a language that can only be used by those with dragon hearts or dragons.

I’ve seen in the library that magic made up of circles is so different that it seems insignificant.

“So, are you telling me to catch the dragon?”

“that’s right. If it’s the dragon slayer Sir Johannes, there’s no problem, right? and… … .”

After that, I couldn’t hear what Seri Verdia was saying. When I heard that there was a way to wake her up, there was no sound.

My heart started to quicken.

“Is that true?”

“Do I have any reason to lie?”

Seri Verdia, whose personality and behavior are very different from the original. However, there is no time to worry about this now. I need to focus on waking Mikaris.

Even if Seri Verdia’s words were false and it was meaningless even if I brought the dragon heart, it was worth it to me. If there is a possibility, I have to catch even a handful.

“I will believe Lady Verdia’s words.”

“Do you know where the dragon is? You won’t be able to find it easily… … .”

“Don’t worry, I will take care of that problem myself.”

So I went to Appel Cloud.

Seri Verdia laughed.

“hehehe, the day we will be together will come soon.”

***

I asked Apel Cloud.

“When will the pollution cleanup practice be over?”

“Two days later.”

“I will make the first move.”

Appel Cloud asked me in a worried voice.

“What are you going to do?”

“Don’t ask, I’ll take care of it. There will be no trust in you now.”

The only person I can trust in this world is me. I had to do this right away. Where did I go wrong?

The last thing I said to Appel Cloud.

“Isn’t our party’s performance sufficient?”

“yes. This condition is sufficient.”

“Then stop sending any more to the wire.”

“but… ”

bang! I knocked down the table in the barracks.

“Have you not come to your senses yet after all that happened?”

“… sorry. I will give permission.”

“I understand that you understand me well.”

After saying these words, I left the barracks and returned to the barracks, holding Mikaris in my arms. and,

“Teleport.”

returned to the Marquess.

I know where the dragon is.

Because they know the location of the dragon that the main character’s party caught in the original work.

This is the end of useful original information.

but,

Worrying to me right now is an extravagant feeling.
