Chapter 229

My Villains Episode 229

47. Nightmare (11)

Atalanta led us to a tent. It was a fairly large tent with a curtain hanging on one side.

A sturdy wooden frame supporting a roof with golden drapery latticed with red and white thread

.

It’s not glamping, how luxurious is the tent? It’s a bit different from my common sense.

But it’s not something I can’t understand.

For the Nudans, this tent is literally a home, not a temporary shelter. So you must have put so much effort into it.

My eyes twinkled as I inspected the chairs decorated with Heila flowers and the low tea table that followed me into the tent.

“It’s gorgeous. It’s not too bad.”

“huh?”

In the Nudein tribe, the chief and the elders of the clan decide the major issues of the clan through a meeting. ‘Asun’ refers to the sacred tent where such meetings take place.

“how did you know? You mean this isn’t Asun?”

“Look at the insignia. I heard that Asun wears a red curtain.”

“aha.”

Atalanta, who was putting pieces of coal into the furnace, opened her mouth.

“that’s right. This is not Asun, this is my tent. So don’t be shy and sit down.”

“Is it so?”

As I sat down with my buttocks roughly spread on the soft carpet, the bundle that had been clinging to my side from earlier also knelt down with my knees together. It’s a modest attitude that doesn’t suit a spoiled guy.

“...why are you doing that? Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

“It’s okay, it’s comfortable.” I feel like I’m about to burst into laughter when I see the guy who used to cry a lot over the course of a single night sitting there pretending to be decent.

“Hmm. But what are you doing?”

“Guests are here, so I need to serve them a cup of tea.”

Having said that, Atalanta skillfully prepared tea using a teapot and wooden sugar canister.

“......Uh, this.”

“I remember?”

At Atalanta’s mischievous gaze, I nodded with a wry smile.

The tea she served was scented with the scent of mali flowers, and I had once tasted it at the foot of Mt. Graduil. I said it has the effect of clearing the mind....

“Should I give it like that time?”

“...no it’s okay.”

“Ugh, sorry.”

Actually, there was no time for tea or sipping, but we also needed a break.

In particular, Cole and I went back and forth between dreams for over a day without proper rest after waking up.

It was me who had surpassed human stamina a long time ago, so a forced march like this was no big deal.

Cole, on the other hand, was just an ordinary human being, even though he had become much stronger. He took a few sips of hot tea and fell asleep with his back on the bed.

The bunch was the same.

Since he had turned into a kitten, he did not suffer otherwise. However, because he suddenly changed into a human form, he was humiliated, and he was beaten by me overnight and had tears and runny nose.

He also had pretty good stamina, but he wasn’t at the level of a superman yet, so he was tired.

“...Aww.”

Moongchun collapsed on one side, just as Sosogoth was kneeling. I listened to Atalanta’s words after putting the head of the whining guy on my thigh.

“I have succeeded in controlling the void passage.” “I’m glad. Are there any side effects?”

“It’s a bit difficult because I’m suppressing it with my mental strength, but it’s not to the extent that I can’t stand it.”

Atalanta, who continued talking, smiled softly.

“And I got my freedom back. Half-free.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Because I destroyed Asun.”

...What is he talking about?

“Isn’t Asun on your side?”

“The prophecy came true.”

“..... A prophecy?”

“Uhhhh*”

Atalanta lowered her voice, her golden eyes twinkling. He seemed to be conscious of Heila, who was sitting on the wooden chair next to her and savoring the taste of tea.

“The prophecy you made.”

“......Ah that.”

Something ominous.

“In the process of opening the void passage, my power became stronger. And as you said, I killed six.”

“Six who?”

“Clan chiefs and elders of Asun. The elders were originally seven, but... Atalanta’s gaze turned to Mungchi.

“Coincidentally, that kid killed two of them in Longville. You can’t tell how goosebumps I was when I realized that there were only five elders and the clan chief left in Asun.” “...ah.”

Ha I’m going crazy

The six I said is not that one. If you follow the scenario of the arcane hunter, you’re talking about the ‘six deficits’ you’ll meet

.

“I gave up the name the old people gave me. Instead, I recovered the name my demigod father left behind.”

“...well, congratulations. That was the story you announced to the clans.”

“that’s right.”

“Then now? What did you go to Port Auduenne for?”

“I want to return home.”

“hometown?”

“The home of our people across the sea to the west.”

According to Atalanta’s explanation, the homeland of the Nudins was a province somewhere in the far south of the Mittergeland Empire. She considered it her mission to recover the province and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the nation.

No, it seems to be regarded as a shackle rather than a mission. It is to believe that true freedom will be attained only after the final shackles are cast off.

“What next? Is the fleet back?”

“Most returned, but a few were said to have remained in Beatty.”

The province between Abiden and Savon, which borders the plateau, was Alvivton, and ‘Vitian’ is the name of a port city in Alvivton.

“It means they settled down far away from the battlefield.”

“huh. In addition, the soldiers summoned by the Marquis Landry from the surrounding estates

gathered and broke through the siege

.

“Windy! On the west coast-

A huge sound shaking the tent made Mungchi and Cole hurriedly get up.

Slowly putting down the teacup, Heila took out the ‘Gloves of the Milky Way’ from her bosom and put them on both hands.

“Atalante-!”

I stood up while holding onto the hrunting and shook Atalante, who had a dazed expression on her face.

“Wake!”

“O uh” —

Atalanta, who had been clutching her head for a moment, quickly rose from her seat.

“The dream is ending!”

“what’?”

“I didn’t know what to do...

She grabbed my wrist while putting on a confused expression.

“I feel it. That I’ll be waking up soon!”

“Raise the sails and go! Amidst the thunderous song to our homeland,

Atalanta shouted at her throat.

“I wake up, but not you! Gotta go!”

“Where are you going?”

“Follow me!”

We followed Atalanta and quickly left the tent.

Looking around, I could see the sunset dyeing the sky, and the shallow ridges of the distant horizon were dispersing like dust.

“The golden sun! Blow in –

“Hey there!”

Atalanta ran across the camp and pointed to a tent with a red curtain hanging over it.

A black disc floated above the entrance of Asun, a huge tent with the entrance tilted on both sides. it was a passage

“Nyx!”

As soon as the party arrived at the aisle, Atalante hugged me and gave me a short kiss. Then, she cried and wiped my face.

“...What can I do? I miss you already.”

“I will see you again soon.”

“O kko”

huh? —I.

“Cross the rough waves! To our hometown

“Everyone, come in! Nix will be sent last!”

When the last line was heard, Atalanta urged everyone except me.

“Ugh I know. Then.”

Cole was about to dive into the disc, but frowned when he found the wad and Heila immobilized next to me.

“Mister Bunch! We must go!”

Cole screamed, but Mungchi and Heila stayed by my side without moving.

“you are! I’m going with Poi!”

“No, now is the time-”

Heila agreed with Mungchi’s resolute silence. Cole stomped his feet with an uncharacteristically embarrassed face.

Seeing this, Atalanta secretly bit her lower lip and quickly let out words in a resigned tone.

“I met Grania. Do you know who it is?”

“...Grania? Grania, a mercenary from the north?”

“that’s right. Arnal Farrell Olga Abil Lemers everyone in Oduenne!”

Yes, I called the size of the mercenaries and said that I would follow Prince Ulkar. Fortunately, everyone was unharmed.

“And tell Mr. Hatanka.”

I wondered why the story of Utequai came out all of a sudden, but there was no time to throw up. It was because the dusty winds that broke up the vast grasslands were sweeping over the camp.

“What do you mean?” “Grania is protecting Kanzai Iofya.”

“What is Kanji?”

Atalanta yelled as she shoved me toward the black disc.

“It’s Kanzai Iopi!”

“Who is that?”

“Hatanka-san’s sister-in-law!”

“What-?”

wait for a sec.

it’s eopi Are you Eope?

Isn’t that the default name for a female soul shaman?

Cole yelled while I put on a confused expression.

“Phoenix! You must go!”

“No wait, why is Utequai’s sister-in-law there?”

“No, Nix. Go!”

The dusty wind that wiped out Atalanta’s dreams was right in front of me, so I had to throw myself into the black disc without even finishing my words.

Then the wad and Heila Cole slipped into the dark passageway,

blacking out their vision.
