My Villains Episode 138

36. The Baroness’s Request (2)

A mountain lodge located on the mountain road west of Longville.

I took a bath with a bunch of piglets and stopped at a bar.

“Among the narrow trails!”

“There are people hiding inside me-”

Oh, it’s so noisy.

The customers who filled the tavern were all drunk and singing whale songs. The loud banging on the table was a bonus.

I grabbed Jungno-mi, who was passing by with her ears covered.

“I will eat in my room, so put about 5 servings of food on a tray. No, six people.”

“What are you talking about, sir?”

“Do you have something light to eat? Something fresh and meat-free.”

“How about bread porridge?”

The tavern was so noisy that the young jungnomi was yelling in my ear. Even if I don’t do this, I can hear everything.

“Our store grinds soybeans in milk! I will also serve you plenty of mountain vegetables picked this morning!”

“Okay, that’s enough for one person. Fill the remaining 5 people with meat and greasy food. Oh, and take care of a lot of fruit.”

“Anything to drink?”

“Milk and wine!”

When I gave her four silver coins, Joong No-mi, whose face brightened, hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Then a familiar voice came from behind.

“Sir Phoenix! This way!”

Turning around, leader Amias was waving his hands. I sighed and walked over to the table.

“Since when have you been here?”

“Well, it’s been about two hours.”

“Ugh, you alcoholic bastards.”

After coming out of the rift four days ago, Amias’ gang chatted among themselves and changed their attitude toward me. He began to behave politely as if he were treating his master.

I tried to dissuade him several times, but everyone insisted that it was easier to do so, so I decided to give up.

“Under the foot of that mountain!”

A drunken young man received a song at the wharf of the guests.

“The wives of the river are walking-”

The young man with long limbs standing on the chair was none other than Muldae Bunny.

...Why is that bastard doing that again? The one who can’t even sing

Looking around the table, the rest of Amia’s gang were also happily drinking and singing. Utequai, who was big and showed off his upper body, was also with him.

“Uh-Dun Mountain Pass!”

“If the Buu people avoid the rain-”

The bar in the lodge was more crowded than last time. It wasn’t just the mood.

Thanks to the hunting festival held in Longville, the area was swept away by monsters. It was only natural that the number of passersby stopping by the mountain hut had increased recently.

“When it rains urgently!”

“Even naan bastards drop basil-”

Boonie pretended to pull off his belt, and laughter erupted from all over the place, and the singing voice was scattered.

“When the sun shines between horses!”

“The Buu people walk in their skirts-”

“When this-song is over!”

Booney finished the song by pointing at Steedman, who was sitting at the table.

“You’ll know a real father-”

“This baby!”

Steedman, red-faced, pulled down his boonie and slapped him on the back of the head.

“It hurts!”

“Aren’t you sick, you idiot?”

Hit again in the back of the head, Booney tumbled to the floor screaming. The men around him clapped their hands and burst into laughter.

Utequai, who was laughing at the same time, emptied a large glass and held it high.

“One more shot-!”

“yep!”

A young jungnomi entered the storage room behind the bar and appeared rolling a keg. Then leader Amias and freckled Mira quickly ran and pushed Jungnomi away.

“This is fine, go and get some more snacks.”

“Can it be salted pork?”

“okay.”

Mira, carrying a barrel of wine, continued.

“Bring me a chicken too. With onions.”

“Yep!”

I shouted, frowning as I was wiping the dry hair from the bundle with a towel.

“You don’t have to be late for snacks, so bring mine quickly!”

“Yes, sir! I’m leaving soon!”

As the keg was placed on the large round table, Utequai reached for the brass spigot. Then, with one thumb, he stuck it into a thick oak barrel.

As admiration erupted here and there at the simple power show, Utequai showed off his forearm muscles and filled his glass.

“...very excited. How old

is this’?”

“It’s the third.”

The smell of honey with a strong alcohol scent stung my nose. It was mead made in the North.

“Did you drink that much mead and not even beer?”

“I don’t like beer. Mead tastes good, drink a lot!”

“...Ugh, crazy man.”

Seeing that his language ability has deteriorated, he seems to be getting drunk. I wrapped the wad in a towel and pointed at Utequai with my front paw.

“Alcoholic man, stop drinking! Then look for it!”

When I said it, pretending to be a pig, U Tequai gave a chuckle.

“Somehow the snacks didn’t come out, so here it is!”

“Don’t touch me! If you touch me, you’ll shit in your mouth!”

“Hahaha!”

“Did you come soon? Were you waiting?”

“Uh...

Ellen, wearing a shirt and only cotton pants, was wiping her hair with a towel and looking up at me. Because of

“that”

thin shirt and tight pants, his slender curves were clearly visible. Wet blonde hair, white face and clear eyes keep knocking on my heart...

“...I bought dinner at a bar. Let’s go, are you hungry?”

“O” Heh.

I hugged Ellen as naturally as possible. When I supported my hamstrings with my arms, he wrapped his arms around my neck in a familiar motion.

Goosebumps rose as his fingertips brushed the nape of his neck. My eyes were blurred by the scent of lime and the smell of flesh that brushed my nose. Her thick pink lips twitched slightly.

―9”

“...uh what?”

“What did you buy? evening street.”

“ah. That porridge and fruit and this and that.”

“Which porridge?”

“It’s that bread porridge. They said they ground soybeans in milk and boiled them.”

“It will be delicious. Let’s go.”

We talked about this and that while eating, but I can’t remember what I said.

“...Are you listening?”

“huh’?”

“Are you listening?”

Ellen narrowed her brows and pursed her lips. I quickly wet my lips and answered.

“Oh, I was thinking about something else for a second. What did you say?”

“...I think I need to recuperate for a while.”

“Oh mana poisoning?”

“O” Heh.

Due to what happened in the rift, Ellen was suffering from a serious level of mana poisoning. I was so surprised when I woke up the next day and said I couldn’t see.

However, thanks to four days of rest, he was in a good condition now.

“Isn’t this getting better quickly? It’s just that my sleep and appetite have increased. There’s nothing wrong with your eyes.”

“It’s not that small things like that, you can’t use magic.”

“What is it?”

When I shrugged, Ellen’s face contorted slightly.

“’What is that’? In a situation where a wizard can’t use magic, ‘what is that’?”

“Don’t you remember what you said? A wizard doesn’t just mean a person who uses magic.”

“Idiot, that’s... ha.”

When Ellen sighed, I comforted her with a grin.

“Don’t worry too much. You’ll be fine soon.”

“...You don’t know anything.”

“What?”

Ellen’s face darkened, and she pulled her foot up onto the chair. Then he wrapped his arms around his knees and murmured softly.

“...terrible.”

“scared’?”

“It’s not like that. I—”

Watery eyes glanced at me.

“You don’t know anything.”

I took a deep breath and approached Ellen. Then he put his hand on his lap and whispered.

“It will get better soon.”

“I don’t think I can stand it.”

“No, I can bear it.”

Ellen’s lips trembled.

“...You’re right. I’m scared.”

“Ellen. You’ll get better soon. There is no need to be afraid.”

“It’s not because of magic. I...

Silenced my words, Ellen lowered her head. I quietly patted him.

“It’s okay, Ellen. I am by your side.”

There was silence for a while.

The guy with his face buried in his lap suddenly opened his mouth.

“you.”

“huh’?”

“Who are you?”

“...What are you talking about.”

Ellen slowly raised her head.

“I don’t know you.”

“Ellen. What do you mean all of a sudden? You don’t know me.”

“I don’t know where you are from, how you grew up, or what your beliefs are.”

“...♦.That’s it.”

“You act like a prophet sometimes and look ahead. Even if both legs and arms were cut off, they’ll be fine. Talk as if you’re an adult, even though you’re the same age as me.”

“I have so many questions about you, but you don’t tell me anything. I’m just trying to get out of the situation somehow by turning around.”

The boy was weeping with no expression. I had to say something quickly, but Ellen’s tears broke my heart, and my lips didn’t come off.

“I realized this time.”

Ellen took a deep breath.

“My magic, my life, my body, and my mind. I have no choice but to give you everything you want. That is me now.”

“......Ellen.”

“I know you love me too. I know you risked your life many times for me. however.”

Her pink lips were wet with tears. The expressionless face collapsed.

“I don’t know anything about you.”

“Ellen.”

“That scares me. The most.”

Following Ellen, I also quietly collapsed.
