Episode 158. Black Blood Clan (2)
Arin is trudging down the stairs with heavy steps.
Resimus, who looked so pitiful at Arin’s back, couldn’t bear to look at her completely and looked away.
Normally, I would stop on the second floor for a moment and snoop around Sian’s room to see if I might run into him by chance, but now I passed by indifferently, not even giving him a glance.
As if I was a complete stranger from the beginning.
“… … ?”
Someone familiar appeared in front of Arin.
“Lunav?”
It was Lunav who had not been seen for a while.
“Are you going to class?”
“huh. “It’s been a while since I last saw you. What’s going on at the Royal Pavilion?”
When asked what was going on, Lunav hesitated for a moment.
“I came to see Senior Xian. I feel like I won’t be able to see you at all soon… … .”
Arin’s pupils shook slightly when she heard that she had come to see Xian.
However, he did not show it and continued talking while maintaining a smile.
“Well, I see. He’s probably in his room by now. Even though I submitted a letter of withdrawal, I guess I didn’t go to class… … .”
“Are you allowing it?”
“huh?”
Arin tilted her head as if she didn’t understand the question.
“No matter what, another woman is visiting my fiancé’s room, so I wonder if you are accepting it too easily… … .”
It seemed a bit excessive for a question from a 12-year-old girl, but Arin smiled calmly and said.
“I broke off my engagement with Sian.”
Lunav’s half-closed eyelids suddenly opened.
“reason… … may I ask a question?”
“I just told him I didn’t think he could be there for me anymore. Maybe he felt a lot of pressure from his engagement with me… … .”
This was already expected to some extent when Sian submitted his resignation letter.
Does the fact that I can no longer stay mean that I will never come back again?
There is a saying that sometimes knowing too much can be a problem.
No matter what kind of person Xian was, he had repeatedly said that he would have nothing to do with it, but in the end, as he discovered his hidden true side, it may have led to the current situation.
Arin also shows a detached appearance on the outside as if nothing is wrong, but on the inside she knows that it will never be like that.
It was inevitable that Lunabro would be very uncomfortable.
“let’s go together.”
“huh?”
“But breaking up with someone after seeing them will feel different from breaking up with someone without seeing them.”
Should I say my last goodbye?
If I were to see Sian’s face in a situation like this, the last bit of spirit I was holding on to would crumble in an instant.
In other words, for Arin, it was better than not going.
However, before she knew it, her hand had been grabbed by Lunav and she was being dragged to Xian’s room.
-smart
Lunav knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
The moment I tried to hit it one more time,
“… … !”
The door opened with a squeak.
It wasn’t something that someone opened, it was something that was open from the beginning.
The three women entered the room without even thinking about who would go first.
“no one… … “Is it not there?”
An empty room that didn’t even smell like people, let alone people.
Arin and Lunav were unable to continue speaking due to the heartbreaking emptiness as if a stone had been placed in their hearts.
Do I need to say it?
It’s not like I don’t know what the situation is.
He left.
Without saying a word, let alone a final goodbye,
So vain.
“… … !”
Meanwhile, I felt a sign of popularity behind me.
Are there any other guests besides themselves who came to Xian’s room?
As they turned their heads, someone familiar appeared in front of them.
“Woe, princess?”
It was Brian, Sian’s squire.
A look of confusion appeared on his face, as if he hadn’t expected them to be in the room.
“I’m sorry Brian! “The door was open, so I accidentally came in.”
“It’s okay, Princess! It’s not even our room anymore anyway… … .”
Brian waved his hand to dissuade me.
“Xian… … “Have you gone?”
“yes! Last night, you left the academy first, carrying only a simple baggage. “I’m here to pack up the rest of my luggage.”
Even the moment he left, he was cold and extremely Si-an-like.
“Where are you going… … .”
“sorry. I can’t even tell you that… … .”

“is that so?”
I did it just in case, but still.
Perhaps feeling that even her last courage had become meaningless, Arin let out a sigh of resignation.
Brian couldn’t bear to look at that sad sight in full.
“Then can you at least give me this?”
Arin took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Brian.
“I originally planned to deliver it sooner, but it ended up unintentionally being late. “I’m sorry I couldn’t say my last goodbye, but please tell me how to stay healthy.”
“yes. All right… … .”
I received it without thinking, but I was a little confused.
Contrary to what I thought was sent to Sian, the name of someone other than Sian was written on the top of the letter.
‘To Nana’
* * *
There is a saying that all places where people live are the same.
It won’t be any different here.
People wandering the streets with their own purposes.
As someone who doesn’t like human smells, it’s just messy and noisy.
However, that atmosphere is only temporary.
As we moved forward along the connected road, the noisy atmosphere became quieter and the once lively streets became increasingly gloomy.
Instead of the faint smell of food wafting from restaurants and bars, there was a foul smell like a rotting corpse, and instead of people who were busy showing off themselves in flashy clothes, people were lying all over the streets wearing rags that were embarrassing to call clothes.
Even though there was bread right next to it, crazy people were occasionally seen holding on to old pieces of paper and reciting unknown prayers.
As I took one step at a time, the number of eyes looking at me continued to increase.
Of course, it wasn’t a favorable view.
I kept moving forward, completely ignoring the looks of distrust and wariness.
-Sigh
A woman blocked my path.
She was a woman whose blank eyes seemed to be half out of her mind and were quite annoying.
“What brings you here?”
It was a question that made people wary of visits from unfamiliar outsiders.
“If you are lost or have come here without any particular purpose, please turn back. “This is no place for someone as precious as you.”
Because you are precious.
Even though she didn’t specifically introduce herself, on what basis did she call me precious?
As I remained silent despite my pleas, people suddenly began to gather around me.
Looking at the group of people gathered together, it doesn’t seem like they gathered to threaten me or harm me.
Perhaps they gathered to protect this woman in front of me.
Otherwise, you would never look at me with such anxious eyes.
Well, it’s not like I didn’t expect this situation.
For the residents of this place who have not been treated as human beings from the moment they were born, outsiders are nothing more than something to be wary of.
Part of me wants to beat all the guys I see and search all over the area to find the guy, but there’s nothing good about making a fuss and leaving traces.
For now, I’ll just turn around and come back when it gets dark… … .
“… … !”
I immediately turned my head when I smelled a foul smell that made me feel nauseous.
Exactly 100 steps ahead from the visible direction.
The familiar yet disgusting face of someone I could never pass by was clearly captured in my eyes.
“Why are you all gathered together like that?”
Eventually, he came to where I was and smiled brightly at the people.
what?
Am I looking at it wrong now?
“Threats are not a good way to deal with anyone you meet. “Everyone lets their guard down.”
In the end, as if it wasn’t enough to bite people, it looks at my face and makes an interesting smile.
Holding a large basket with no idea what it contains in both hands.
“I’m sorry for surprising you. People here are very wary of outsiders, so I ended up being rude unintentionally. “I will apologize on your behalf.”
At this level, I guess it could be said that they are almost being ignored?
You haven’t even used secret powers to hide your face, so you’re showing that disgusting face in front of me?
What kind of confidence is this?
“If you don’t mind, could you tell me what brought you to this slum? My name is Boris Lehelm… … ”
-bang!
Listening to your shameless hesitation once is enough.
Deciding that I could no longer open my eyes and watch, my hand immediately grabbed the guy’s neck and slammed him to the floor.
As a result, the basket he was holding rose into the sky, and various foods such as bread and fruit came out of it.
“Boris!!”
People were startled and screamed, but it wasn’t for me to pay attention.
I don’t know what kind of trick you’re acting up that doesn’t work out, but now that my hands are grabbing your throat, you shouldn’t think I’m going to let you go.
Until your head separates from your body.
“W-stand back!”
Even though his vocal cords were suppressed, he struggled to make his voice sound.
Then, a transparent circular barrier was created around me and the guy, blocking the movement of people trying to rush towards me.
It’s so embarrassing that I can’t even call it a counterattack, so much so that I can’t even laugh.
I immediately took Kairam out of my arms and placed it on his neck.
“Please save me… … .”
what?
Did I hear wrong?
As I live and live, I hear people begging this guy to save me?
If my intention was to relax my mind for a little while, it was a success.
If someone you don’t know sees you, they’ll think you’re someone else and be mistaken.
But you know what?
This scar of resentment engraved in my heart continues to remind me.
You are the one I am now looking at with my life-filled eyes!
A servant of the devil, he will do anything to achieve his goal!
It’s Boris Lehelm!
okay. You, too, are human, and your humble life has reached the brink of death, so you can’t help but be desperate.
But don’t worry, you still have time to repent.
If it’s short, it’s short, and if it’s long, it’s a long time. During that time, you can look back on the rest of your life meaningfully… … .
“Please, save me. They are not guilty… … .”
The moment you try to cut off the blade resting on your neck without mercy,
After hearing the earnest appeal that came out of the guy’s mouth again, my hand automatically stopped.
Several times today, I doubt my ears, which would tell a rabbit to go away.
Was it not you who asked for help, but the people around here?
Anyone who sees him will think that he is a true priest who struggles to protect innocent people.
What is this? Is it because he pretended to be someone else to avoid Mist’s pursuit, and his personality changed?
So you’re in trouble?
I want to see your hateful face distorted… … .
wait for a sec.
An ominous guess crossed my mind for a moment and made me furrow my brow.
Does your personality change?
Thick black blood was flowing down from the nape of his neck, which was in contact with Kayram’s blade.
