Episode 80. Lunav Rainriver (3)
Exactly 3 minutes.
It could have been sooner, it could have been later.
When I left the room for a moment under the pretext of going to the bathroom, all that greeted me was an empty warmth.
I guess he went.
I was aware of her physical condition from the moment she told me about it.
These are the Garam Society’s minions who give off an unpleasant smell.
Well, I didn’t think they would have received permission to go out.
It was amazing that I went out without permission, but the thought of me crossing the border and coming here alone in that delicate girl’s body made me laugh out loud.
Assuming what Lunav said is true, there is no need to encounter the Society’s minions who are keeping an eye on me.
He just left the place empty with the intention of quickly taking his granddaughter who left home.
[Why does my master seem to be in a bad mood? With a bug-chewed face that is rarely seen?]
Kayram was mocking me to the fullest.
To be honest, I can’t deny it.
“It’s not very pleasant.”
To be more honest, it’s very dirty.
If her original purpose was to make me seething, I would like to personally praise her.
The mood of the person concerned was so excited that it seemed like something.
Did you feel sympathy for her little remaining life?
Don’t be mistaken.
To begin with, human life is not that hard.
At best, it’s a little tougher than Paris.
If I, who have seen countless deaths and driven countless people to death, feel sympathy for that, I can confidently say that I have not lived my life well.
I tell you time and time again, I am not a savior.
Then why do you feel so bad?
I don’t know.
Honestly, I don’t know how I feel right now.
What is certain is that the dirtiness I feel now comes from some kind of discomfort.
It’s like that feeling of being able to do something but feeling very uncomfortable because you don’t do it.
There is no point in thinking about it further.
He turned around with a short sniffle.
[Just going?]
“Isn’t it obvious? There is no reason for me to hold her back when she says she will take her granddaughter back after she left home. “If I get involved, it’ll only be a headache for me.”
[hmm. okay… … ?]
She would normally provoke me with strange words, but today she reacted a little differently.
It seemed as if he was agreeing, but also seemed to have something to say.
So it looked even more suspicious.
“What do you want to say?”
I asked bluntly.
[Um, no, whatever. Those guys who came to pick up that kid. I was wondering if you heard what they were talking about?]
“What, say something? “I guess I should have just taken him with me quickly before he gets scolded more.”
The longer they delay, the more their lives will be in danger.
[You didn’t hear?]
My eyes naturally turned to the sinister smile that tickled my skin.
[They are psychic? You said it out loud in front of me, as if you were telling me not to listen to that kid?]
The ‘I’ that I haven’t heard and the ‘Kayram’ that I have heard of.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the somewhat familiar situation.
“You were telepathized?”
It is a mental magic that communicates only through thoughts, not words exchanged through mouth.
It’s not easy magic.
As the thoughts to be conveyed are conveyed through magical power, quite intensive computational power is required to express them.
However, it is a magic that is often used by Mist members as it is very useful, but that is not the problem right now.
Why?
Was there something she shouldn’t hear?
We could have just said something trivial like, ‘Let’s get him out quickly before he gets criticized even more.’
At best, they could have cursed and said, ‘We are having a hard time right now because of you.’
No matter how good of a hearing I am, they can’t even hear telepathy.
Above all, the fact that Kayram said this to me… … .
I heard something interesting about her.
Of course not for me.
“… … .”
Suddenly my eyes turned to the chair she was sitting on.
It’s faint, but I can feel it.
It is a trace of mana that has not yet disappeared and has been scattered by someone.
I quickly put my hand on it.
“Sweet Sleep… … .”
When I saw the pure white powder on my hand, I became convinced.
Remnants of a 5-star mental sleep spell.

They put Runab to sleep.
Is it necessary?
Is it really necessary to take her to sleep when she is fine and there is not even a trace of resistance?
Unnecessary actions always raise suspicion.
My eyes turned to Kayram again.
“What did they say?”
As if he knew this would happen, Kayram came up to my ear and whispered.
[I’ll tell you exactly what it is without leaving out a single word. Open your ears and listen carefully~]
After a while, the devil’s insidious whisper rang like an aria in my ears.
As her whispers continued, my expression somehow became more and more rotten.
* * *
Somewhere on the outskirts of Ruwen, on the border between the Usif Empire and the Garam Kingdom.
It is not a luxurious carriage suitable for noblemen, but a small wagon suitable for use by merchants, traveling through a wilderness area where there is not even a single blade of grass.
At the front are two men leading the carriage,
Around them, three men traveling from different directions were guarding the carriage as if they were forming a camp.
What they had in common was that they were all wearing blue robes.
An unknown sense of urgency was visible on their stiff faces.
“… … .”
Soon, the man leading from the front raised his hand and gave a signal.
What appeared in front of them as they all stopped was the border post of the Garam Kingdom.
I put the carriage in reverse for a moment to keep my distance so as not to be caught in sight.
-Juseomjuseom
They all took off their robes and began to change into shabby merchant clothes.
It was a kind of camouflage to hide their identity.
He even had a forged merchant registration certificate of a different nationality in his hand.
-stepping
Everyone quickly turned their heads when they heard an unfamiliar sound.
“… … !”
Someone staring at them, exuding a gloomy magical power.
He wore a gray robe over his body, as if he was trying to hide his identity.
The man leading the carriage slowly approached him.
The others who were watching this could only watch with tense eyes and had no intention of approaching.
“she is?”
Judging by the thin voice, it was a woman.
“It’s in the carriage. I put it to sleep using sleep magic, but it seems the magic worked better than I thought. “I think it will last more than a day.”
“Can I check?”
“That’s right.”
The man led the woman in gray robes to the front of the carriage.
The woman got into the carriage, climbed over the piles of luggage, and discovered something hidden deep inside.
It was a delicate girl with her hands and feet tied and a gag in her mouth.
The moment the girl’s identity was confirmed, she smiled faintly.
“You managed to bring me here.”
“In fact, I think it was like a missed opportunity.”
“that’s right. Who would have thought that a kid who felt like he was going to rot inside the academy his whole life would run away on his own? And it’s none other than the Academy… … .”
The woman took out a letter from her pocket and showed it.
“The real monitors sent by the academy should have arrived at the academy by now. “Get out quickly before the news spreads to the border post.”
“Yes, I understand!”
The man bent down and took the letter.
The woman, who was about to turn away, suddenly turned her eyes to the girl again and spoke as if she was telling her to listen in her sleep.
“Don’t be too resentful. Rather than suffering for the rest of your life from an experiment that didn’t work, wouldn’t it be better to perform meaningfully once and then die? “This is actually for your benefit.”
The words were plausible, but the expression and tone of voice showed no such feelings.
It was just a means to accomplish the purpose.
The girl in the carriage was a being without any emotions to them.
The woman turned around.
“Okay then, I’ll just head back… … !”
-Phew!
The woman’s face suddenly distorted along with the sound of the sword cutting into flesh.
“Wow… … !”
For a moment, my eyes fell on the blood dripping on the ground.
As she slowly raised her head, what she saw was someone’s jet black robe blowing in the wind.
“… … !”
A sword digging into an organ and an unfamiliar purple energy slowly leaking out from between it.
Before even realizing what it was, the sword’s owner pulled out his arm in a merciless movement.
-thud
A large amount of blood flowed out like a waterfall.
The woman groaned, fell forward, and died immediately.
Everyone who watched this was astonished.
“La, Lightning… … !”
-Suddenly
The man who received the letter shouted an order in haste.
However, the spell did not continue completely, and instead a painful scream was added in the middle.
“Ouch… !”
The screams didn’t last long.
One of the hands that was expressing mana was brutally cut off, and even cruel sword energy flew towards the mouth that was about to scream, and the man’s head was cut off in an instant and flew towards the carriage.
-tuk
Did you say that when a person is too startled, their senses stop and they simply stop moving?
That’s exactly what they were like now.
However, his gaze was clearly focused on the unfamiliar being in front of him.
A short physique reminiscent of a boy.
However, the murderous eyes revealed beneath the simple black mask made the viewers cringe.
There were only two thoughts that came to the men’s minds as they faced this.
‘Why did this situation happen?’
or
‘I have to run away.’
In the latter case, it can be said that the situation is judged more quickly.
If he had known that the purpose of the mask was the carriage, he would have quickly used magic to burn the carriage and at least have time to escape.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you’ll save your life.
It just means that your life time will be extended by a few tens of seconds, but your limbs will be cut off anyway.
But only one of the remaining four had such thoughts.
The rest were questioning the situation and at the same time thinking that they had to quickly deal with the being in front of them.
However, that idea did not turn into practice.
At that moment when I was barely able to relax my stiffened nerves and gather mana,
-Suddenly
That sound was just the beginning.
– Creep Creep Creep Creep Creep
The sound of brutal slaughter is heard again and again.
People have long said not to think that their lives will be saved when the human ear perceives that sound.
It is not simply the sound of a body part being cut off,
It is said that if a sound were heard that was slowly constricting the human body itself and gnawing away at the last remaining handful of soul, the person who recognized that sound would at some point cease to exist as a human being… … .
It was said that it was similar to the sword dance of the Four Gods of Death.
-Hwiiing
An unpleasant smell mixed with the smell of blood was wafting through the wind of the barren wilderness.
