Chapter 433
"True... We can only be sure once we read that diary, but the odds are high enough."
"The diary is with the Commander. I think he would let us see it if we express interest... Would you be able to read it if I bring it?"
"I can read it. But first, I'd like to know why you're looking so uneasy when you say that."
Enon raised his eyebrows sharply and folded his arms.
"I'm pretty sure that's the reason you came to me today, isn't it?"
"..."
Enon's ability to discern truth from lies was, as always, impressive.
Yuder silently looked down at Pethuamet, who was hanging from the iron bars and swinging its tail. It was incredibly difficult to articulate his complicated situation and emotions.
"Enon, you know where I come from."
Although he'd ambiguously stated that he came from 'the future,' Enon would surely understand.
"But others don't."
Considering the importance of the information he held, it was wise to keep the circle of people who knew Yuder's secret to a minimum.
But that was when he could judge everything based on utility alone—when he could trust no one fully and only move forward with his own safety and the prevention of impending disasters in mind. Gêtt the latest chapters on no/velbin(.)com
"Until now, I had no intention of revealing that."
He hadn't gone to great lengths to hide it either. For what Yuder wanted to accomplish, he had to move in a way that raised some suspicion. So he had been blatantly suspicious in front of people like Nathan Zuckerman to achieve his goals, and had initially revealed his identity to Enon out of necessity.
"But if I borrow that diary this time..."
"Then the Commander will likely get a better sense of what you're interested in, increasing the chances that your secret will be discovered. Is that your concern?"
"Yes."
"I thought you might have shared some of your secrets with him as well, considering how close you seem to be. Quite unexpected."
Enon moved closer to the iron bars and flicked the head of Pethuamet, who was swinging its tail in an attempt to get closer to Yuder. As the small monster toppled over, a bit of venom dripped from the tip of its tail.
"So even though he might have been suspicious of you, he just left you be? You're definitely no ordinary human."
"Yeah."
"What do you mean by 'yeah'? Think this is a compliment? I mean that you're not normally insane, both you and him!"
"That's it. From now on, call me 'big brother.' You're not giving anything but just causing stress, so I should at least get that level of respect."
"..."
"What, you don't like it? Fine. I don't want to be called 'grandfather' or 'uncle,' so just stick with 'big brother.'"
Enon sharply inquired as Yuder remained silent, his mouth slightly open. But the reason Yuder couldn't answer was that Enon's words had evoked memories of his past life.
Their relationship had begun in his previous life when Enon found Yuder severely injured and collapsed in a back alley. Dodging the pursuers who had followed him, Enon naturally brought Yuder to his apothecary and hid him, pretending he was his younger brother. After that incident, Enon naturally began calling himself "big brother."
Of course, Yuder had not played along with this act, but their mysterious connection had continued, and Yuder had often been compelled to refer to him as "big brother" as a result.
‘“Is it that hard to let me heal you? Huh? Are you some kind of animal? Why do you always get so defensive? Do you even know how expensive this medicine is? There's more to life than just getting injured. Why don't you just carry some weight in my apothecary?"’
Initially, Yuder did not trust Enon. He thought Enon's appearance and circumstances were suspicious.
However, as their relationship continued over the years, Yuder had no choice but to believe at least that Enon had a disposition that wouldn't turn away those in need.
Enon's apothecary was always open to the poor in the capital. Despite his harsh manner, he gave medicine to everyone without demanding much payment. Many genuinely liked him. For those who couldn’t even afford to go to a temple or a doctor, that place was the only sanctuary they could comfortably seek.
Enon never charged Yuder for the treatment either. Once, when Yuder tried to leave a significant amount of money, Enon firmly told him to just treat him like an older brother instead. His nature had not changed, even in the last letter he left behind.
And now, after such a long time, he said the same thing to Yuder again.
"..."
"Young lad, where did you pick up the bad habit of trying to bear everything alone..."
Yuder stared blankly at Enon's grumbling face and then lowered his eyes.
