88. To become a suitable person for Damian. The family must be annihilated (3)

Security in the north is dangerous.

It is a difficult environment for people to live in, and the atmosphere is not good because it is ruled by a tyrant.

You don’t know when you’ll die, and it’s not strange when you die.

So young people have two options.

Become a knight who can survive under a tyrant.

You may die from the tyrant’s rule, but if you do well, you can become a robber who can live a good life.

In the end, it can be seen that those who can become knights become knights, and those who cannot become robbers.

In the name of struggling to somehow survive in a barren life.

That was the source of those who were drawing their swords right in front of me.

“Kill that woman-!!”

A robber screaming loudly.

I took the sword out of my waistband and cut the man’s waist as he tried to swing it at Yuri.

Suddenly!

“Kwaaah-!!”

The man grabbed him by the waist and fell down screaming.

Maybe he’s not dead.

I shifted my gaze to Yuri, who was standing still.

It was to clear up misunderstandings.

“Yuri, there’s a reason I haven’t heard from you! There’s no way I hate you!”

“That’s a lie… Damian didn’t reply because he didn’t like me…”

One step.

If I step out.

Two steps.

Yuri fell back.

‘I’m going crazy. If I try to run away, it won’t work.’

Are you afraid of not knowing what words will come out of your mouth?

Yuri’s eyes trembled from side to side as if uneasy.

He didn’t make eye contact with me and kept trying to avoid my gaze.

However, I could find a resentful look in his eyes.

“You didn’t reply because you hated me…! You hated me… You didn’t even want to reply…!”

That’s not really true.

Before Yuri really ran away.

He quickly shouted first.

“It’s not like that! There was a reason!”

“This, why…?”

Are you finally going to listen to me?

Yuri raised her head and looked at her without avoiding my eyes.

However, it was only for a moment.

She lowered her head again and let out her words mixed with paranoia.

“A, what’s the reason…? My, because I’m a monster…?”

“No, that’s not why. I can’t think of you as a monster.”

“There’s no reason otherwise… It’s because I’m a monster…”

“No, it’s not like that. It’s long, so to speak. For now…”

Suddenly!

“Take care of those robbers first. Between us. Just the two of us. Let’s have a nice conversation. How is it?”

“Between us… Just the two of us… Intimately…”

Yuri nodded her head instead of answering.

They seemed satisfied with my proposal.

Then she suddenly changed her gaze and ran towards me, brandishing her sword.

“Ahh-!! That b*tch-!!”

… It must have cut the guy sneaking up behind me.

I was familiar with the shape of the sword Yuri used, so it was a practice sword used by my family.

‘… That’s what I used to train. I figured it out like a ghost.’

Did he subconsciously notice that my hands were on it?

Yuri looked at me quietly and said with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

“Be careful Damian… if you get hurt… you can’t…”

“Yes, yes. Thank you.”

Does it mean that we should be careful of robbers or glass?

In terms of atmosphere, it was not well differentiated.

But first.

‘I must save the people who are trembling because of those robbers.’

No luck.

For all intents and purposes, he tried to steal the wagon Yuri was riding in.

I muttered as I stood in front of the people hiding in the fallen carriage.

“Stay still, I’ll help you. Those robbers will be cleaned up soon.”

I shouted out loud.

There was a separate person who organized the robbers.

“Did you, dare… try to… attack Damian…? I, I will never… put you in danger…”

Seo-Geol-Seo-Geol-

Yuri was slicing through the robbers.

I only had to deal with the robbers trying to attack the citizens hiding in the wagon.

“…I’m also on the strong side when it comes to ordinary people.”

I’ve been training hard with the sword since I was young.

In front of such overwhelming talent, you have to fall behind.

“Think positively. I like it because it’s comfortable.”

“Ignore that monstrous woman-! Take the hostage-!! That man looks weak-!!”

“…”

Still.

I can’t stand still.

Pu-wook!

There was nothing particularly nice about the north except for the scenery.

***

The total number of robbers is 15.

They say.

“I was so hungry that I had no choice but to commit robbery. They said selling people would make a lot of money…”

That’s right.

It wasn’t a reason to look at the circumstances.

After all, they risked other people’s lives to make ends meet.

Yuri seemed to have the same thought as me, so she took a sword and approached the robbers.

“D, Damian almost got hurt… You, you guys fight even if you die…”

No, not for the same reason as me.

I just felt bad for attacking me.

I grabbed Yuri’s shoulders and stopped them from walking as if to kill them.

“Calm down, Yuri.”

“This, let go of this Damian…! Don’t touch my body…! B-I’m still mad…!”

Yuri timidly shook her body and removed her hand.

It was hard to see her as the person who had just sliced up the robbers.

I looked down at the frightened robbers and said to Yuri.

“You don’t have to get your hands dirty.”

“Ah, no… I don’t know… He has a grudge against us… What if he wants to get revenge…? Boo, I’m sure Damian is sleeping… Someone is coming to stab him…”

That’s right.

However, now Yuri is delusional.

Looking at their dejected eyes, it didn’t look like they would attack us again.

And they…

‘I was also injured. It will be difficult to survive at night.’

A few will survive.

The low-intensity group will disband and wander the snowy mountains.

If you wander around, you will eventually die because you can’t overcome the cold and hunger.

That’s why we didn’t have to deal with it ourselves, even getting our hands dirty.

I approached the frightened robbers.

With a sword drawn for a little intimidation.

“…Get out of here right now. If you’re still around here at night. At that time, I won’t care and take your life.”

“…Ah, I see.”

The head of the robbers rose from his seat leading the wounded.

However, judging from the reaction, he didn’t look too scared.

I gave one more word to those who were about to leave.

“Not me. Yuri next to me will kill me.”

“Oh, I see! Papa, I’ll leave quickly…!!”

“…”

This was it.

Aren’t you in a bad mood?

Feeling a bit bitter, I turned around after confirming that the robbers were leaving.

Inside the collapsed wagon, people were bowing their heads and giving thanks.

“The horse seems to have run away. You can find it if you want to find it.”

“O’clock, the time is ambiguous… The sun will set soon…”

“…I’ll have to find it tomorrow when the sun rises.”

“No, that’s right…”

Yuri nodded in agreement with what I said.

In that case, we had to endure the day, using that fallen wagon as our base.

Because the cold of the night is more dangerous than you think.

I tapped Yuri lightly on the shoulder.

“I told you not to touch me…! B-I’m angry…!”

“No, I just said I had a hard time. But let’s work hard one more time. We have to spend the night.”

“Me, I don’t care if I help Damian… Those people probably think of me as a monster anyway…”

“If they thought of you as a monster, would they act like that?”

I pointed my finger in the direction of people.

There, people waved their hands, bowed their heads, and expressed their gratitude in their own way.

From noble mtl dot com

It was sent to me as well, but most of the thanks went to Yuri.

At that appearance, Yuri looked embarrassed.

“Oh, uh… oh, people are waving at Damian…”

“I’m waving at you, not me. Thank you for saving me.”

“N-Me…?”

“Yes, you.”

You look bewildered as if you don’t understand.

However, Yuri was bad at hiding lies.

“Thanks to me… Ehehehe…”

Maybe she couldn’t hide her joy at receiving the thank you.

She couldn’t seem to stop the corners of her mouth from going up.

Her appearance was cute on the one hand, but gloomy on the other.

***

It is night.

People lay down in carriages and wrapped themselves in blankets to overcome the cold and fell asleep.

I also wanted to sleep between them, but I decided to sleep in a tent I had brought.

“N, I want to sleep with Damian… But I feel most comfortable with Damian…”

With glass.

Looks like she has no intention of stepping down.

They broke into my tent and lay down next to me.

Then he asked with his back turned to me.

“You didn’t reply… You said there was a reason…? For what reason…?”

Are you still here to listen to me?

Thinking fortunately, I decided to explain what had happened so far.

“…That’s it. Actually, I wasn’t in the dorm. After the vacation started, I found out you sent me a letter.”

“Hey, you weren’t at the dormitory…? Then you didn’t tell me and went somewhere else…”

“Listen to what people say, Yuri.”

“Oh, I didn’t know… I’m sorry…”

Did I say it with too much pressure?

Anyway.

I explained to Yuri.

For some reason, she was kidnapped by Nadia and imprisoned in a painting room.

That’s why I couldn’t contact you during that period.

Hearing that, Yuri murmured in shock.

“The drawing girl… Again… Hated Damian… I, I should have saved Damian… I should have finished it…”

Muttering a scary sound.

I said putting my hand on Yuri’s shoulder who turned his back to me.

“That’s not it. It’s my fault. Nadia’s thinking is wrong. It’s not your fault, Yuri.”

“Well, really… It’s not my fault…?”

To be honest.

It happened because Yuri assaulted Nadia.

Still, it’s obvious that Yuri will blame herself again if she tells the truth.

“Really. This is not your fault.”

I decided to hide the useless truth in my heart.

But a little stronger than before.

“At that time. What you did to Nadia was wrong.”

“…”

“I hope it never happens again. For the rest of my life, until I die.”

“…”

Because Yuri may assault Nadia again when she hears that Nadia has imprisoned me.

A word spoken for a safety device.

Yuri was silent for a moment, then she asked in a trembling voice as if she had plucked up courage.

“So, then… Damian… Doesn’t hate me…?”

“Why would I hate you. You’re my friend.”

“You think I’m a monster… Isn’t it…?”

“Of course. Didn’t I tell you the other day? I never thought of you as a monster. I said you were my friend no matter what.”

“That’s right… We’re best friends… Engaged friends…”

It was only then that Yuri seemed to open up to me.

Hwaak-

In a cramped tent.

Instead of turning her back, she turned her face towards me.

She mumbled shyly, covering her eyes with her long bangs.

“…Yeah, but. Until I clear up the misunderstanding… I hated Damian a little… I’m glad to see him again…”

“It feels good to see you after a long time, Yuri. I’m glad you’re in good shape.”

“If you like Damian… I like you too…”

Kwaak-

Yuri buried her face in my chest as if it was difficult for her to make eye contact with me.

I felt Yuri’s excited breath in my heart.

‘… It won’t be cold.’

I felt a little embarrassed, but I felt strange.

I also hugged Yuri, whom I hadn’t seen in a while.

“Ehehehe… Good…”

Yuri regained her stability in my arms.

She took a moment to catch her breath, then she looked up at me and said.

Very eerie words.

“Damian…!”

“Huh?”

“I’ll soon…! I’ll give Damian a big present…! I’ve always received it…! A very big gift…!”

“…”

Something dangerous and scary present.

All I had to do was make sure the gift wasn’t stained with a lot of blood.

The blood on the gift was enough for one person.
