Duke, Please Repent! chapter 206

40. The Duke and the Disappearance Case (11)

Serpens drove the carriage and spread a sense of energy to sense the energy around her, so she had to concentrate, so she quietly took a nap and put me in the carriage.

In order to faithfully fulfill his command, I took out the quilt I was keeping in my pocket and wrapped it around my body.

all.

"Why are you carrying something like that?"

It's one of Shion's belongings, well. I roughly put it in a box and put it under the bed, but it seemed to only accumulate dust, so I just put it all here. I thought it would be useful someday.

"Really that looks useful."

Is that right? If you put anything, there's always a place where you need it.

Stop sleeping.

With those words, Serpens took the carriage

closed the door

After a while, the wagon started running.

'Because I'm doing this, it feels like I'm going down to the countryside in the car my father is driving .'

I closed my eyes, feeling the sway of the wagon that Serpens bought and was driving.

It's been a long nap

Woo, Seonwoo? Get up now. And how much time has passed?

I felt someone grab my shoulder and gently shake me to wake him up.

Huh-! Noona, are you already at the rest area?

I want to pass the bathroom, even if I don't go!]... . Buy me some walnut cookies when you come.

I yawned loosely and hugged the blanket tightly.

I wonder why the car has a blanket instead of a blanket, but it should be comfortable.

A cookie with walnuts in it? I'll buy it for you when you return, so get up now.

I removed my mucus and opened my eyes properly at the soft, clean voice and the hand that gently lifted me up.

No matter how many times I looked, I still had an unrealistic face in my eyes.

Clear green eyes and shiny bluish-silver hair were dyed in the red sunset, giving them a mysterious color.

So it's more like a fantasy.

" Serpens?"

Yeah. Are you awake now?

The experience of seeing unrealistic faces and returning to reality seems a bit new.

"Did you find where they are?"

Yeah, I found it.

What about Yujisu?

"When Seon-woo wakes up, he says it's obvious that he will talk about his meal, and he wanders around and sees a sandwich.

He said he would go to the store.

It's a very happy story.

It is worthwhile to constantly preach the importance of eating.

More than that, I don't seem to know much about Seon-woo.

All of a sudden, Serpens said, sulking.

It is very pathetic to see him with his shoulders drooping.

Suddenly, what kind of bastard are you talking about?

"I didn't realize that Seonwoo liked it so much that he looked for it even while he was sleeping.

didn't know If you like it so much, don't tell me... .

"Huh , no , what ?"

What the hell is he talking about?

It was so absurd, I was speechless for a moment.

Seeing me like that, his two eyes were wet and fluttering.

It's just like a delicacy at a service station. Even if you have potatoes and butter at home, you don't eat them, but if you go to a service station, you can think of them as being similar to the butter-grilled egg potatoes that you buy for some reason.

Yeah, I see. Make sure to ask the kitchen for that too.

" you don't seem to know at all?"

Then tell me. About you...

There was obviously a big misunderstanding, but it didn't seem like it was going to be resolved anyway.

The way he spoke while holding my two hands with his own hands with an expression that looked like he was about to cry seems to have gotten more serious.

He seemed to be very sad, but he felt sorry for me.

'Yeah, I was wrong.'

To explain the delicacy of a highway rest area in a world without expressways, who would understand?

I'm here! Has Zion woke up yet?

Eugene's voice came from outside the carriage.

No, it happened.

Serpens quickly let go of my hand and dab the tears in my eyes with her sleeve.

Then he turned and sat upright in the seat next to me, answering Eugene's question.

answered politely.

You look like you're a little less awake though.

Eugenes got into the carriage and looked at me sitting there with a blank expression on my face with a blanket wrapped around my body.

This is also a mistake. Sleep has long since flew away.

It's absurd that they followed him and killed me together.

You may not have an appetite right after waking up, but please have some. There's water here too.

" ah, yes. Thank you."

I remove the duvet in half, and stretch out my arms

I reached out and took the sandwich and small bottle of water she handed me.

Er, I don't know. Let's eat and think.

"Where are they?"

It's not too far from here. It's an old mansion you can see.

" I don't see it."

I hope you don't equate the view of a skilled elf archer who has even received racial value correction and the view of an ordinary human office worker.

"Ah, it's an old abandoned mansion over there.

Did he do it, or was he absent, or was there a watcher other than the Warlock? . I can't feel the black magic, but I can feel a lot of ordinary people's energy.

Eugenes summoned the spirit and said while setting up a sound barrier to prevent the sound inside the carriage from escaping.

"Can I not check the inside?"

I guess you just woke up and haven't heard yet? I told Serpens in advance.

Ah, yes...

That serpent suddenly became a walnut

I was obsessed with sweets, so I couldn't hear anything.

"I was going to ask the spirit to come and check the inside, but there was no doubt about it even if I looked around, so I thought it would be best to be as careful as possible, so I stopped.

Concentrating on the feeling of being, the range of movement of those inside was extremely limited. They must be trapped somewhere.

Serpens added an explanation to Eugene's words.

I heard the two of them talking, Yuji

It seems that Su first found it and informed Serpence, and Serpense who heard it also went to check it out.

"Then, are we going to jump right in as soon as we eat this?"

To my question, Serpens and Euges nodded side by side with their sandwiches cut open.

"Do you need time to digest?"

Hey, what's digesting a little sandwich like this?

Serpence hesitated at my leisurely reply, then bowed his head and took another bite of the sandwich.

"Why all of a sudden?"

. I don't feel good.

"Are you going to tell me to come back now?"

If you wish.

I'm here because I want to, and Moose:

As he frowned, wondering why he was here again, he suddenly swallowed the water.

The water bottle, which looked about the size of a 500ml plastic bottle, was empty.

There are reasons to be concerned about your physical safety, but...

"Serpence and Eugene are there, so what are you worried about?"

indeed.

He's worried about my safety, so he's trying to send me back to my original world.

They've kidnapped not one or two people.

I know. Why are you bringing up all the information you've already been told?

"It is said that even if one or two of them disappear, the result is the same."

If there is a person who rejects the demons' proposal, there is no problem in punishing that person as an example.

it means all

Maybe it started after putting one person down and creating an atmosphere of fear.

Perhaps Euges couldn't have thought of such a piece of garbage or something he could do at all, and at Serpens's words, he said, Inhale, and opened his eyes wide, swallowing his breath.

I know.

what?

For me, it would have been a difficult story to come up with.

But my answer to that was. Even the tone is different

When there was no bar, the boy's eyes fluttered.

Did you not understand what I was saying?

Well, the only thing you can see is that Serpens doesn't understand what I'm saying, so that's what you're feeling.

I knew from a long time ago that they were the bastards who would remain.

He often did that in [Master of the Holy Sword] too, so if you don't know, you can't know.

"That , what, what does it mean?"

The boy's voice trembled.

The string of a string instrument pulled taut

It was trembling softly, as if it had bounced off.

"Because you know, you came along because you were more concerned, didn't you?"

The more exposed a person is to violence, the more sensitive he is to violence directed at others.

perhaps.

If it was a Serpence before he met me, he might have passed it on in a senseless way.

If he had taken pain for granted in the past, he would not have felt anything.

'But not now, is it?'

I knew pain was pain, and I felt afraid of it.

was able to admit it.

Ugh, I know that only you in the world are smart,

With that said, I put the rest of the sandwich in my mouth and wiped my empty hands.

Serpens didn't say anything.

Unable to find anything to say, he shoved his beloved sandwich into his mouth. It's like closing your mouth.

'What should I do if I get caught in my throat while eating like that?

Seriously, he's a very hands-on guy.

Instead of his empty one, I opened the cap of the water bottle I had given me and handed it to Serpens.

Shion... are you really okay? You must have had a hard time even in the arena.

Eugene looked at me with a worried expression and asked carefully.

If you just say you are going back now, they will take you directly to the mansion.

I'll have to put up with it, what can I do? It could be

I wish I could have just persuaded you with words... .

That would be too much wind.

Eugenes knew it too, so he took the sandwich he was holding in his hand and drank water.

I'll move to a nearby location for now.

The guy who had been silent for a while returned the water bottle that was only half full and said,

Seeing that I left my share, I am glad that I seem to be holding on to my mental line.

Eugenes withdrew the veil of the wind, and Serpens sniffed out of the wagon.

I flew away and moved to the horse-drawn carriage.

Soon after, the wagon began to move.

Because it was winter, the sky quickly darkened.

It was bought in a hurry and had a decent quality, but it was bought in a hurry, so even though I locked the door tightly, a cold wind blew in from somewhere.

I drank water and threw the empty bottle roughly, then dug back into the blanket.

'After all, in the winter, the blanket is the best!' But the comfort didn't last long.

Running is bound to stop someday.

The carriage stopped in an alley not far from the destination. I think I'm going to walk from here.

I said goodbye to the duvet and put it back into the subspace pocket.

Because it is wrapped in a warm blanket, it feels colder outside.

Ugh... it's cold. Let's go inside!

why?

No. Nothing.

The boy shook his head.

But what about the carriage?

...Ummm...,

Serpens was holding the reins of the horse and thinking about it, then loosened the string attached to the carriage that was wrapped around the horse's body.

and stood in front of me again.

"You don't have a wagon?"

If you leave it alone, someone who needs it will pick it up. I'll have to buy a proper carriage later and put it in my pocket pocket.

The horses were at a loss for words, and I was at a loss for words.
