Episode 366 Even if you can’t see your right eye (7)

The girl ran across the snow holding the extremely heavy Taser gun in her arms. I only passed one hill, but I felt thirsty.

“Whoa.”

But no. It’s just the beginning, but if it’s already like this, what should I do later?

The girl swallowed her saliva, trying to catch her breath. The girl’s skin is experiencing fatigue as the heat rising from within clashes with the fiercely cold air.

“Can I do it?...”

At this point, the girl began to have doubts about her choice. It was all the more so because it was a plan she had devised herself, but even the girl herself didn’t think was very likely.

In any case, the girl’s plan was half-hearted, with the first and last buttons not being completed unless she was lucky. Since we have entrusted the most important parts to heaven, we naturally feel nothing but a distant feeling every time we think about the future.

“No, you can.”

However, when she was intimidated by the uncertainty, the heaviness in her arms awakened her spirit. That is the weight of someone who knew the dangers of the plan but turned a blind eye.

『Well... if that’s the case, how about you follow us? Oh, you don’t like it? I got it...』

That’s not all. There was something hanging around the girl’s waist and shoulders.

『It won’t be of much help... but take some water and food with you. We don’t have to worry. Because we will soon be moving down to the south, where there is no shortage of affluence.』

『Don’t you need a fur cape?』

That was a kindness she had never received from her family and neighbors. It was a really heavy favor, but it was also warm enough to make me cry.

“you can do it.”

The girl stopped for a moment and fully felt the weight.

Would I have been less unhappy if I had someone like this in my tribe? Or what would have happened to the girl if she had met them first before meeting the great warrior?

With the word “if” attached, I unfolded my wings to see some of the sweet futures a girl could draw. These were imaginations that did not provide any immediate help, but at the same time gave the girl courage.

“ha.”

And at the end, the edges of all imagination returned to one place.

Daejeon Temple I want a family like you. I want someone who would risk his life for me.

Tick.

“Ah...”

That’s because I really want that kind of future.

I’ll walk first. That’s the basics of trading, right?

* * *

Slurp.

At that moment, Daniel stiffened as the demonic energy surged behind him. I knew that wasn’t the case, but there was nothing I could do because it happened at the instinct level.

Hmm. Black fog began to gather towards him as he stopped.

[What are you doing, child?]

But before they could encroach on him, something like a thread cut into the air first.

The afterimage left through the black fog looked like the flow of a celestial body. Although their trajectories are misaligned and twisted, they all have a common reference point.

[Rather than putting him down.]

And the reference point was someone he was carrying.

Tuk-tuk. The back of my hand, which didn’t actually touch but felt like it was touching, went back and forth near his cheek a couple of times. It was an obvious urging.

widely!

[Oh... but I didn’t mean to drop you off this harshly. [I don’t have manners.]

So Daniel shook it off without delay. It wasn’t necessarily because of discomfort toward Magi.

“you...! “You can’t believe it...!”

He turned around, putting his concern for the adventurer ahead of his discomfort. This is to face the person who has separated from him and understand it more closely.

[It’s so strange.]

“...!”

But at that moment, a silver trail was engraved in Daniel’s vision once again. Sigh! It was a truly vivid afterimage, like a white line drawn on black paper.

[Isn’t that the person you need to worry about now?]

Also, on the other side of all the gold, a light-skinned man grinned. The hair color that would have originally been two colors is now only black.

And the chain danced again. It circulated like a star’s trail using the black fog as a drawing board.

[I really hate being touched by other people. So please understand. Since you are such a kind person, you can separate your hatred for me from your sympathy for me,

right?] It was truly a terrible and such a beautiful scene.

Daniel closed his eyes tightly.

‘You bastard with a hairy conscience....’

[Yes, I thought you would understand.]

Meanwhile, Mephistopheles grinned at the voice transmitted through his soul.

Stupid Gretchen. If you pretend to be weak to a subject that you always say is not worth dealing with, they will eventually accept it. So foolish.

[Rather, it seems like your magic circle is about to collapse. Can you keep talking to me?]

‘Oh crazy!’

Really stupid.

“...Don’t make excuses.”

[You’re talking as if I’m fawning over him, kid. I just said that... I, too, have had some kind of trauma.]

“If it’s not a work of art, then what is it?”

But when I think of the fact that she was able to get this opportunity because he was such a foolish person, I can’t help but laugh at him. . If he were truly a heartless and heartless person, he would never have dreamed of cheating on people’s favor like this.

[Oh, baby. I understand that you feel like you want to deny everything about me out of hate, but the truth doesn’t disappear just because you do that.]

No. If he had been that type in the first place, she wouldn’t have been pushed into this situation herself. Either Gretchen would have abandoned that boy and gone back, or he would have lost himself to her.

“under! Yes, it must be true! It could be true! Even if the reason for the reluctance to contact is because humans don’t want to come into contact with insects, they are not worthy of the same consideration!” [

...I wonder what kind of image I have inside you.]

“Gretchen’s kindness is too much for a scum like you. sun. “Bang your head and apologize, trash.”

[And dear Gretchen doesn’t know that you’re such a temperamental child.]

“No, even your apology is worthless than Gretchen’s time. So just voluntarily die.”

[Not without mercy.]

In any case, Gretchen’s disgusting self-reliance is the cause of this situation and the only way out. Mephistopheles took note of that fact once again.

[But kid. When I say trauma, I mean it.]

And once again, I was mindful of what I chose to hear.

[When I was in hell, crawling on the floor like a weed because I didn’t have the power yet... It was Asmodeus who enslaved me.] Is my

dear Grethen listening to this story?

Mephistopheles gently raised his lips as he looked at the shaking fragments of the magic circle.

“So what? Do you think I would sympathize with you just because you had a past like that?”

[Well... yeah. Actually, yes. I didn’t say I was hoping for sympathy either.]

It’s the same for me as I never expected sympathy from a boy. If the response had been that it was unfortunate, they would have shuddered and told the game to shut up.

[I’m just saying that’s the case.]

But it’s different for someone who has developed it without knowing it. Mephisto raised the corners of his mouth even more, thinking of someone who would be thinking something like, ‘I shouldn’t have listened to that.’

I wish you would struggle a little more. I hope that the compulsion to protect what remains of humanity creates a contradiction that prevents even enemies from abandoning themselves.

I hope you become more angry when I betray you.

Mephistopheles traced the picture she was drawing again and swung the chain in his hand. In her mind, the object that was only constricting and limiting her became an effective weapon for the sole reason of its external appearance, granting her what she desired.

Sigh! The fog in a radius of several tens of meters solidified and was cut into pieces like cube steaks.

[It looks like you need help.]

“...?”

Also, the wizard who was struggling alone at the end of the radius raised his head.

[Pity. If we keep going like that, we won’t even be able to fight back against that sky.]

“...!”

The lower part of the mask, corroded by contact with the black fog, fell off.

[I will protect you this time. The country is from destruction.]

Emerald hair sparkled inside the crack.
