My Villains Episode 197

44. Dream (7) When

Alena’s gaze was directed directly at Phoenix, the girl’s parents opened their mouths in astonishment.

“...Nonsense.”

The charcoal maker’s wife talked to herself with her blood vessels bursting and her eyes wide open. Archer Cole looked back at her and asked.

“What are you saying is nonsense?”

“When Alena is doing ‘that’, no matter how much I talk to her, she doesn’t even look at me.”

“Even if I sit down on a chair like that?”

“yes yes. No matter what happens around you, you only look at the invisible man named Blackwood.”

she muttered with a dry, pale face.

“This is something strange. Strange.”

Except for the sound of strong rain and wind coming from outside, the whole room was enveloped in silence. Thanks to this, the woman’s small whisper echoed along the walls and dug into everyone’s ears...

Perhaps feeling something ominous, the crossbow man Gidon took a couple of steps back with a stiff face. Then, he lifted up the rosary and said, ‘Lord of the light that consumes evil’, and prayed.

The group, who had been squatting in the corner, were pulling up their short cloaks and loading a small crossbow. Cut the pie in half.

Others also watched the one-person play, or the two-person play, which began in the middle of the Oressa pub with wary eyes.

“O”

Looking at Alena, who burst into tears while laughing broadly, Phoenix scratched her eyebrows.

“...Hey Alena? I’m sorry, but I’m not Blackwood.”

It was a soft tone that did not match his appearance or this atmosphere.

The freckled Mira secretly let out a hollow laugh, for some reason lost steam.

‘Anyway, if you’re a kid, you can’t use quadrupeds. A human who kills dozens of people without blinking an eye.’

While she was thinking about that, Alena shook her head and said firmly.

“no. You are Blackwood.”

“Uh, but I don’t even know who Blackwood is?”

“does not matter.”

The girl wiped the tears with her sleeve and smiled brightly again.

“Because I remember you.”

Maybe it was because she read something uncharacteristic of a child in Alena’s expression and tone. Phoenix couldn’t hide his embarrassment and narrowed his brows.

As he fell silent, Alena, who was still laughing, opened her mouth.

“Please stop doing this and continue the story.”

“story?”

“yes.”

“...as I said before, I am not Blackwood. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

“It can’t be. Think carefully. Starting with the important things.”

“...important things?”

“yes. For example, um-”

The girl, who rolled her eyes for a moment, clapped her hands as if she remembered something.

“What happened to your legs?”

“leg?”

“yes. Your leg was cut off.”

“......I?”

Alena erased the smile from her face in an instant. And as if she hadn’t laughed before, her eyes moistened and she made a sad expression.

“You got your legs cut off by the mean monsters while protecting me. That wasn’t enough, so the monsters set you on fire and threw you out of the woods.”

While Phoenix blinked her eyes, the girl’s words continued.

“Alas, poor Blackwood. His handsome face was all mashed up and he was screaming. I knew that, but I couldn’t do anything.” After saying that, Alena stood up and walked slowly.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry...

As the girl approached Phoenix, the inside of the tavern became silent and noisy. The sound of a blade coming out of its scabbard. The sound of a chain hanging from an iron ball

.

Phoenix said that and looked over at the mercenaries.

“Down your weapon. I am just a child.” The mungchi and fourteen mercenaries did not seem to understand much, but they recovered their weapons within.

As they said, Alena was just a young girl, and even if a real demon resided, it was unlikely that Phoenix would be hurt.

“...I’m going to sleep soon.”

“Ummm.”

I don’t know why, but he pursed his lips for a moment, then pulled a chair next to me and sat down.

“Never mind me, lie down and sleep.”

“No.”

“Are you feeling uncomfortable? Ellen may go into the room.”

Mungchi slapped the sledgehammer and fell face down on the table. He rested his head on his arm and looked up at me.

Those sleepy eyes were so cute that I unknowingly pinched his cheek.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“swimming.”

“What is ‘he’? Why do you look like that?”

“lol.”

These days, it was the eyes that noticed that I was cute. That’s why he often acts cute or childish and enjoys my reaction, that is, going crazy because he’s cute.

“...Ugh, this. If it’s cute, you know it’s sweet.”

But I have no reason to hate this.

Munchhi is a beauty with a youthful face with soft teeth unique to Asians. To put it simply, it’s an idol award. When that kind of guy wants my hand and drops his ah, I feel euphoric.

As if possessed by something, I stroked the side of his hair.

Even with sleep dripping from the corners of his eyes, Mung-chi smiled like an idiot.

Occasionally, when his fingertips brushed his earlobe, he smiled and frowned, and when I rubbed the nape of his neck, he shrank his neck and held my hand with his shoulder. Then I wiggled my fingertips and tickled him to escape easily.

When he poked the tip of his nose, his soft cheeks, and his soft earlobes with his free hand, Mungchi burst into a small laugh.

Just a moment ago, I wanted to shout because my head was so complicated. The reason, of course, was the words that Alena shouted while screaming.

It’s very strange that, like the necromancer Luke and the soul shaman Karamek did, if I can forget it, there will be people who say something about my soul.

Each time, the evaluation of my soul was similar, but each of them was different, but this time,

the words spoken by Alena or the devil dwelling in Alena were rather harsh.

-Souls to be cursed, get out of there right now!

...a cursed soul. For me, who was forced into this body by the Trickster, it is an unfair word.

w...... turn off ”

O .

Oh stress. If it was Earth, I would have just dismissed it as the nonsense of a crazy child and ignored it.

However, as I said before, it is not easy to do in this world where all sorts of bizarre things are rampant.

Of course, I didn’t feel any magical powers from Alena, but I felt goosebumps running down my back and said, ‘Do you really know something?’ The suspicion of doing it grew out of control.

Even I, who pride myself on being rational, had such doubts, so the reaction of the mercenaries was even more intense.

Gidon, a faithful believer in the Kwangmyeong Church, as well as Steedman Fritz Confyer and even the prudent Cole, told Alena that something had to be done.

All of the measures they suggested – burning them with holy water, throwing them out at night in the rain, tying them to wooden poles – were all unacceptable.

To harm a child who might be an elementary school student is something that Kim Seung-soo, who has lived in Korea for 30 years, can’t even imagine.

Just a moment ago, I couldn’t even sleep because I felt like my head would burst with these complicated thoughts...

“Hey, it tickles-” As

I stroked the wad and enjoyed the soft touch as if it had no bones, the threads in my head loosened a little. same.

Me and Mungchi giggled low and joked around, Heila, who was sitting next to me, quietly turned over the bookshelves, and the sleepless mercenaries tossed and turned. Ou Te-quai, watching the scene illuminated by the group of wax candles on the table, groped under the chair and pulled out a piece of paper.

It was then.

“Eh-”

The group that was playing around with me jumped up and lifted the dog. Seeing him prick up his ears, I quickly held my breath and awoke my spirits.

I couldn’t feel anything, so I sneakily looked at the bundle, and the guy tilted his head as if he was confused about something.

“......Something is coming.”

“what?”

“Eh, it looks like people, four? no?”

“Where is it?”

“I will arrive soon. in front of the door.”

“...what’?”

The human radar, Mungchi, can’t count the people who come to the door?

I straightened my posture and watched the entrance of the tavern. The sound of faint footsteps gradually grew louder, and then I heard the sound of breathing and talking one after another... Then, finally, the wooden door suddenly opened
