Chapter 56

My Villains Episode 056

15. The Fools of the Boat Horned Inn (3)

My heart is filled with indescribable emotions.

In Middle World, even if you turn 16, you are treated as an adult.

So, the current situation, that is, the situation in which the adult Ellen had feelings for the adult Phoenix was nothing strange at all.

But I am not from this world. I couldn’t help but feel an uncomfortable feeling that no one in the middle world could understand.

Phoenix as a murderer who has killed three digits of people and Kim Seung-soo, who has the sensibility of a modern man, seem to collide within me.

After a moment of silence, Ellen lifted her head and looked up at me.

The frost on his face had disappeared before he knew it, and an unknown nervousness took its place.

Cowardly, I decided to run away from this problem.

“No matter how you feel, work is work. What if my comrades are going to fight and I lie down like that?”

At my question, Ellen made a mysterious expression.

Relief or disappointment soon disappeared beneath the surface, and coolness took its place.

“Why should I do this in the first place?” “what? What does that mean, of course.”

“That’s right. Isn’t this what you do because of your heroic psychology?”

As I silently narrowed my eyebrows, Ellen fired at me in a sarcastic tone.

“Did you really like getting attention from the prince and the lord? Or do you feel like a real hero when you get a reputation as a ‘bloody swordsman’?”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“We finished the request and turned over the evidence of my affair. Why do you dare to go out and look for dangerous places?”

“Yeah...

I was speechless, and Ellen started talking again.

“And did you forget what we promised? I decided to make money while doing the quest, see the opportunity, get out of the city and head north! But what is it? After going through all that hardship, you are trapped inside the siege again!”

“Things have changed that much. Prince Ulkar has arrived and soon an army will move in to break the siege. If the operation succeeds, we will save the city.”

“So what do you get? Risking your life for a few more gold coins? Who was it that told you not to risk your comrades’ lives for a few bucks?”

“You think I’m doing this for money?”

“I don’t know! What’s certain is that you don’t care about me. You drag them into dangerous situations and only care about other people!”

“what? You—”

Your head is hot.

I sighed deeply to calm my excitement and asked.

“Are you serious?”

“what?”

“I’m putting you in danger and you don’t care?”

“...I felt that way.”

“under.”

Perhaps Ellen wasn’t serious either.

Since you’re angry, you probably just want to hurt me somehow. These are the words you say without thinking too deeply.

I understand it rationally, but I can’t accept it emotionally.

“...no it’s not?”

“what.”

“I never tried to put you in danger and I never didn’t care.”

“Every time I was in danger, I tried to protect you somehow. I always cared about you more than anyone else.”

” I am.”

“I don’t know how you felt. But really – it wasn’t easy. It wasn’t easy. When I was Kim Seung-soo, I did things that I couldn’t even dream of.

“I always thought of you, not me.”

“I really didn’t know that either. Giving my life to save someone is something only firefighters can do. I’ve never been like that in my life, and I didn’t think I’d ever be.”

I poured out the words I had stored in my heart without even knowing what I was talking about.

“Of course, I was afraid I would regret it. I’m afraid I’ll regret it again after hesitating like an asshole. I don’t even want you to know But—the whale didn’t want to hear that from you, either?”

“...I am”

Ellen stuttered for a moment before licking her lips silently, then shutting her mouth.

short silence.

After sweeping my hair once, I put on a helmet and put on a helmet.

“done. I am tired too.”

“...what?”

“I’m tired of covering you. It annoys me to act unrestrained, and I hate seeing other people treat me badly.”

Oh, I made a mistake.

Throwing sharp words to hurt was no different from Ellen and me.

“What am I?”

Ellen’s pale pink lips trembled.

Even though I knew I had to quit, I couldn’t calm my anger. Has my mental age gotten younger along with my body?

“What did you do? Ignored, ridiculed and treated as an idiot. Like someone determined to ruin other people’s moods.”

“...you said you would be careful. And I didn’t do it on purpose, my way of speaking was original.”

“Yes, I guess. what do i know about you Do you always meditate on yourself? You know me well about yourself.” At my sarcastic remarks, Ellen shook her tightly clenched fist and struggled to open her mouth.

“...you you. You can’t do this to me.”

But the reality was different.

About thirty minutes ago. While waiting at the guard barracks, there was no news even after a while, so I walked around the city in frustration.

By the way, the guards were all over the salt castle.

The situation was questionable, so he questioned the head of the guard. Information is leaked.

“Ah, such a dog...”

I clearly asked not to inform the lord of the castle, but you gave the information to the lord of the castle? In my mind, I really wanted to lose.

No, if you think about it, it’s my mistake. It was foolish to even think that the captain of the guard would follow my words 100%.

The head of the guard is the god of the castle. It’s only natural to think of the lord as the top priority while carrying out missions. I’m an asshole for not thinking of that.

My head gets cold as the hem of my short cloak flutters in the wind blowing from the sea...

Now, how do I get the ‘unveiled position’? It’s too risky to let things go according to the scenario.

...was it better? Is it safer to just go on as it is, rather than recklessly changing the future to create a variable?

no no If you know the future, you should use it. I can’t just be passive like this forever. You have to take what will benefit you. Isn’t it a decisive advantage to catch the ‘unveiled position’ early?

Do you just run into a game where you know your identity anyway? ...Uh no. No matter how you think about it, that’s even crazier.

oh my head hurts Nothing is going to work out right.

“Oh, Phoenix Brother!”

” hmm?”

I followed the voice and turned my head to see a young man with messy brown hair approaching me with a smile.

“Parrell?”

“lol. It’s been a while brother. I heard that your sister owes you money.”

Unlike her older sister, Pharrell, Grania’s younger brother, is a very cheerful guy.

If I had to put it in one word, it would be a typical ‘in-sa’ that makes friends wherever I go because I’m friendly.

The last time I drank, I sang with excitement, but I remember being surprised because I liked listening to it more than I thought.

It is said that his javelin skill is very good, which does not suit his slim body.

I had never seen him throw a spear, but looking back at the battle at the pier, it seems that he was a mercenary who managed to do enough for one person.

I laughed and shook my head.

“How are you helping each other?”

“I have heard it all. You must have shed a lot of blood to save your fallen sister.”

“Who is it?”

“Is Arnal like that?”

Then it is.

“But what are you doing here?”

“I was bored, so I followed the messenger. I just wanted to see my older sister’s face.”

Come to think of it, Farel and Gilius were still attached to the SS.

Well, if Grania kicked them out as soon as they returned, it would be too obvious that they were holding them hostage. After staying in the SS for a while, they will be sent to the guards or gate guards. or end the contract.

...for a moment. bodyguard?

“Uh-why are you looking at me like that?”

“What do you do in the SS?”

“I just do chores. Occasionally patrols or guards stand by.”

“Are there guards? In the salt castle?”

In response to my questionable question, Farrell put on an ‘Oops’ expression.

“Uh brother, I can’t tell anyone about this, can I?”

“why?”

“Why is it because if the commander of the guards or the military commander finds out, it will be completely fucked up.”

I wanted to ask more questions, but the SS messenger came out of the guards barracks, so I had no choice but to let Pharrell go.

The bodyguards... the bodyguards.

The troubles that started from then continued until the guards dispersed without success and returned to the inn in Boatgo-dong.

What woke me up from deep thought was the conversation between Mr. Luke and Daria.

“What do you mean now?”

“yes? Didn’t Ellen go with you?”

“...what?”

With a thump, my heart felt like it was sinking.

Mr. Luke urged Daria in an angry voice.

“Miss Ellen decided to stay in the room, what are you talking about!”

“Eh, right after Mr. Poi and Mr. Luke left with the mercenaries, Ms. Ellen also left?”

“Where did you go and leave?”

Daria responded with a slightly pale face to Mr. Luke’s unfamiliar appearance.

“I couldn’t ask for anything else. I hate talking to you. Of course I thought you were following Poe and Luke.”

“Have you been in such a mess...”

Ellen- disappeared?

Why the hell...

I thought my legs would loosen up so I sat down on a chair at the bar.

“Heh heh.”

I’m out of breath.

Suddenly, the scenery of the amusement park passed before my eyes.
