#Episode 191 (Side Story Episode 4)
“I will ask you one last question. “Where did he go?”
“… “Kill him.”
“Heh, you can’t do that. Because it is our family’s duty to inflict more pain on traitors. So, I won’t talk about it until the end? “Is this the answer?”
“… … .”
Riyadh did not immediately burn Faerf at the stake.
I planned to continue to torment him with all kinds of torture and pain.
“Seeing as you’re not begging for your life, it seems like you’re accepting it… . “If that’s the case, you should tighten it even more slowly.”
Finally, he lifted up an iron piece that had been heated in a fire oven.
Jiik-
“Ugh!”
“Heh, it wouldn’t be possible if I couldn’t endure this much pain, right? “There are still more things to add in the future.”
“I’d rather kill you!”
“Do you think I will obediently do that?”
“Like a devil… .”
“devil? dare!”
Riyadh continued to use all kinds of torture.
Even so, Faerf did not open his mouth easily.
I thought this was the right thing to do for the sake of Holsburn, my lifelong benefactor and nobleman.
‘With this, is the promise you made to Mr. Halsburn kept? ‘I hope I can meet Mr. Horseburn one more time in the other world.’
Faerp was even more convinced that he had kept his promise to Holsburn.
Moreover, Paerp was now weak and weak.
He felt that now was the best time to end his life.
“town!”
He bit his tongue.
Rather than survive and suffer further torture in the future.
Suicide was considered the best option.
As a result, half of Paerp’s tongue was cut off and blood spurted out.
I even lost my mind for a moment.
Riyadh seemed startled by Faerf’s unexpected actions.
“W-what! What did you do!”
“It looks like he tried to commit suicide!”
“no! What are they doing! “Block it at all costs.”
If nothing else, it was Riyadh that had to prevent Faerf’s suicide.
Not only have we not been able to find out Gram’s destination yet.
I couldn’t get any information through Paerp.
I did not want Faerf to die without earning any income.
However, as time passed, Paerp’s consciousness gradually disappeared.
Before I knew it, it felt like there was no color in his face.
On the other hand, Paerp’s expression looked more calm than ever.
***
For three days and three nights Gram ran and ran. Following the map that Paerp had given him, he headed with little anticipation.
Since being captured by Georgios.
Due to Riyadh’s various kicks, no place was healthy.
Fortunately, the joints seem to have adjusted to some extent thanks to Faerf’s healing.
It was not at a level where I could normally freely handle the bow.
‘… ‘Is this path really right?’
Is it because I ran for three days and nights like that?
A small village came into view below the top of the mountain.
“Is it that village?”
The village visible below the summit was huddled together.
Among the villages that Gram experienced while working as a mercenary.
It was like belonging to a small village.
“Hey.”
The sun is already setting.
I thought it would be better to go into that village and find an inn before it was too late.
Fortunately, the sun was long, and Gram entered the village entrance.
“… Oppenharum.”
There was a large monument in front of the village entrance.
It seemed to represent the name of this village.
Eventually, Gram entered the village and wandered around.
I saw an inn that looked shabby from the outside,
Gram went straight inside.
“welcome.”
“… “Is there a room where I can stay for about two days?”
“I only have a small room now. Is that okay?”
“It doesn’t matter. All I need is a place to lie down.”
“Well, here, take the key. It’s a bit narrow, but it won’t be too much of an inconvenience during your stay.”

After receiving the key handed over by the owner, Gram naturally went up the stairs to the second floor.
Trup-
I went up the second floor hallway and found the lake written on the key ring.
“… “Here it is.”
When I entered the room.
As the owner said, the space was small, so overall it was a small space.
Of course, it’s cold winter because I’ve been through all the hardships of childbirth since I was young.
When I think about the moments when I had no choice but to sleep on the street, I feel grateful now.
Gram lay down on the bed.
Was it because I had been running for three days day and night?
Before I knew it, I quickly fell asleep.
***
next day.
After falling into a deep sleep for the first time in a while, he woke up to the sunlight shining outside the window.
“… “You fell asleep quickly.”
Gram once again took out the map given to him by Faerf.
And I recalled the words he said.
‘Find Murdan. You’ll probably be able to get more help than I could.’
At first, Gram did not feel confident in Paerp’s words.
However, his thoughts changed when he saw the pattern symbolizing ‘Bacacetas’ engraved on the cane he demonstrated.
There are only a few people who know the existence of the ‘Bacacetas’ family.
I thought that at least it wasn’t an action meant to harm myself.
“It was so nice to hear my father’s story for the first time.”
Eventually, Gram slowly got up from the bed.
The scene reflected beyond the window was truly crowded everywhere.
There were various shops lined up along the road, and children were playing and playing with each other in the corners.
In particular, the sight of miscellaneous merchants passing by with large carts was especially noticeable.
smart-
In the meantime.
A knock was heard.
Gram, who had no one in particular looking for him, was cautious and opened the door slightly.
“ah! You were there just now. I prepared a simple breakfast. Are you going to eat inside?”
“… Mei, Mei?!”
“yes?”
For a moment, Gram was startled.
That’s right too.
Because there was a girl in front of him who looked exactly like his dead sister.
With long hair dyed red.
It was just like its old, delicate appearance.
Gram’s mind became confused as he saw the girl who looked so much like his dead sister.
On the other hand, the girl also seemed embarrassed by Gram’s appearance.
When Gram, who was meeting her for the first time, suddenly referred to her as ‘May’ and took a step closer, she had no choice but to take a step back.
“… Oh, I made a mistake. She looks so much like her sister that I must have been mistaken. “I apologize.”
He also had a moment! Perhaps because he wanted to, he bowed down to the girl and asked for an apology.
However, since Gram didn’t cause much trouble, the girl seemed to immediately understand him.
“ah. are you okay! I think my younger brother and I look a lot alike. lol.”
“… however.”
“… ?”
Gram continued, pointing to the tray the girl was holding.
“I never mentioned meals separately.”
“Didn’t you receive separate instructions from the boss?”
“What guidance?”
“I guess you didn’t do it again. We provide separate breakfast for those staying multiple nights. In particular, we often provide a simple soup to those staying in small rooms that are a bit cramped!”
“… ah.”
Only then did Gram understand the behavior of the girl who had opened the door early in the morning and nodded.
“If you don’t mind, you can eat in our hall. “You can do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
“… then.”
Anyway, I was getting ready to leave after taking a quick shower.
Gram thought it would be better to have breakfast in the hall for the first time in a while.
“I was about to leave, so I will eat in the hall.”
“Would you like to? If so, please come down and sit at the table and I will bring it to you.”
“thank you. Oh! and.”
“yes?”
“Do you know anyone in this village as ‘Murdan’?”
“Chief Murdan?”
When the name ‘Murdan’ was mentioned to the girl, there was a hint that she knew of his existence.
“You are the head of Oppenharum Village! “He is also an indispensable person in our village!”
As you can see just by looking at the girl’s reaction.
Murdan’s presence in this village seemed to have a very high status beyond that of the village head.
Because of this, Gram felt like everything was going well, and decided to move faster.
After changing into simple going out clothes, I came down to the inn hall.
Then, as if the girl had been waiting for her earlier, she was served soup and rye bread that looked warm.
“Thank you.”
“Because it was boiled again right away, it will suit your taste quite well. “If you dip rye bread in soup, it will have a softer texture.”
Gram took action after hearing the girl’s friendly explanation of how to eat.
When I bit into the rye bread and soaked it in a little bit of the soup, just as the girl had told me, the texture was soft.
Also, the warm soup with a strong corn flavor is one of the best soups he has ever had. It was by far the best.
Although he wanted to eat one more plate, he didn’t want to say it out loud.
“I really enjoyed the meal.”
“yes! “I hope you have a happy day today.”
***
After leaving the inn, Gram walked down the street.
Also, fortunately, the girl knew the mansion where ‘Murdan’ was staying.
I slowly looked around, remembering the direction to the ‘Murdan’ mansion that the girl had given me.
How many steps did he walk from the inn?
Suddenly, a gray building that appeared to be Murdan’s mansion caught my eye.
“Murdan Gahaperon.”
There was a nameplate hanging in front of the gate, and Gram knew right away that this was Murdan’s mansion.
Gram immediately took out the map Parev gave him.
Finally, in front of the gate, he knocked loudly with his fist a couple of times.
Bang- Bang-
“I came to visit Mr. Murdan.”
Then, an old man whom Gram could barely make eye contact with if he looked down for a long time came out the door.
“I am Murdan, who are you?”
Murdan is wearing shabby clothes and has wrinkles all over his face.
It was quite different from what he had imagined Murdan to look like, but Gram didn’t really care.
“I came here by following this map that Parev gave me. “My name is Gram Bacasetas.”
