Chapter 99
Chapter 99
"Se.. Senior."
"Yes Ela..ine? Whats wrong? Why are you shaking?
Ugh
Alfred was shivering with a pale face while looking at me.
I don't think I've ever seen this kind of reaction from him before.
"Maybe. it's because of the energy that Sihyeon gave out, just now."
Andras said while looking at me with eyes wide open.
"me?"
"Hmm I don't know if it's the correct expression."
"?"
"It's like seeing the leader of Yakum, Bighorn."
Me.Bighorn?
I tilted my head with a puzzled expression.
Alfred, who regained his usual color, trembled as I approached.
"Andras is right. I thought, a Yakum was in front of me.
"You guys must have been mistaken or something. By the way, where did he go? Akum?"
I left Miru to Alfred for a while, and wandered around the spacious room looking for Akum.
The room was full of colorful and luxurious ornaments, perhaps because it was used by a fairly high person in the Red molars.
Poo Woo.
I heard Akum crying from one side of the room.
"Akum, what are you doing here?"
Poo woo wooo
The baby Yakum cried as if letting me know that something was there.
"What's in here? Well, it looks like there's nothing."
All that was there was a portrait on the wall.
There was a picture of a Pig Beastman with a huge molar, and the impression was so fierce that it looked like a Mafia gang leader.
"Sihyeon? Is there a problem?"
"No, that's not it. Suddenly, Akum says there's something here."
"You mean this portrait?
Andras took the large portrait off the wall and put it aside.
He began to fiddle with the walls and spoke to himself as if he had found something.
"Ho-oh? You've activated a very complex magic-blocking formula. I think he was trying to hide something here, too."
After looking around for a long time, Andras concentrated, floating a complicated magic formula in the air.
And
CREEK!
This time, the wall cracked and the secret space was revealed.
A lot of precious metals and gold coins were piled up in the small space exposed.
I admired it with a slightly fed-up look on my face.
"Wow What's all this?"
"They must have worked pretty hard on their crimes. It must be the result of exploiting innocent people."
I don't know the price situation here, but they were not small values at first sight.
Andras said with a calm expression.
"I think this will serve as the best compensation for our hard work today."
"The expense for the hard work? Isn't that too much?"
"It isnt if it's for the vice chief of Germor wizardry."
"Senior, even the Verdis never pull their swords easily."
Okay, okay, you guys did a great job.
Poooooooooooooooooooooo
"Oh, sorry, sorry! Of course. Akum did a great job, too. We wouldn't have found this hideout if it wasn't for the great performance of our Akum."
Poo wo wooooo
As soon as his performance was acknowledged, Akum nodded his head with satisfaction.
I took my eyes off the baby Yakum's cute appearance and turned to the secret safe again.
"Since everyones on the same page shall we take care of it?"
The confrontation between Reville and the Red molars continued.
Balik thought Reville wouldn't come without thinking, but he didn't expect him to bring a bomb.
In addition, the explosive power that was shown as an example was formidable, so it was not easy for the Red molars to jump in.
Balik's tone softened.
"Hey, Reville! We can't stay like this forever, can we? Why don't you just give the strawberries and step back? I promise you'll be safe."
A promise? Do you think I'll believe the promise you made? Cut the crap and bring the hostage back quickly."
Ugh
Reville's absolutely unflinching attitude gave Balik a headache.
Should I bring the hostage
While Balik was looking for a way to break the meaningless standoff, a member of the organization rushed in from afar.
"Bbbbb, Boss! Were in trouble."
"What?"
"The organization's hideout is burning down!"
"What?! What the f*ck did you say!"
Balik stared at his subordinates with a look of disbelief.
Who can touch the Red molars at Kaldinium?
Not only the city's garrison but also the mercenary guilds only check each other and do not implicitly invade each other's territory.
Who the hell can't be?'
Balik's gaze turned to Reville.
He found the corners of Reville's mouth slightly raised.
"It's youM*ther f*cker"
"What are you talking about? I don't know anything about it."
As Reville slyly retorted, Balik's face trembled, unable to contain his simmering anger.
It was not the time to care about strawberries.
It was a matter of pride as the head of the Red molars.
"Get him.Get that f*cker now. Whoever it is, grab him alive and bring him in front of me!"
"But Boss if there's another bomb."
CHAEEENG!!
Balik took out his sword and aimed it at his subordinate's neck.
"Hee.BbbbbBossss?!"
"If you don't want to be a prey to my sword, get him NOW."
"YaYes, Boss."
The men pushed by their boss pulled out their weapons and approached the faltering Reville.
It was no time for them to be afraid of bombs.
Ah Is this it?'
Reville pulled out his sword at the approaching enemies.
And he clenched the Artifact with his other hand.
He was prepared to die from the time he first proposed the plan, so he had no regrets or fears.
I'm trying to hold out and buy time. And at the end of the day'
When the enemies were just around the corner of Reville, something unidentified came quickly down to earth from the sky.
Whoo Whoo
Artifacts from the air surrounded Reville as if they were escorting him.
What?
Artifact?
What the hell
While the enemy was confused by the sudden situation, Andras's voice was heard from the artifact near Reville.
-Mr. Reville, close your eyes right now
Even though it was a little confusing, Reville closed his eyes immediately without question.
And at the same time as he closed his eyes, there was a huge flash around the artifacts.
Argh!
My eyes!
The nearby enemies gripped their eyes and complained of pain.
Even distant enemies could not open their eyes easily.
-Now. Hold the rope connected to the artifact. you'll get you out of there.
As Andras said, he quickly seized the rope.
Reville soared into the sky with a sensation of floating.
Huh?
Boss.He's running away.
" I know you fools! Get him now, get that M*ther f*ker!"
Despite Balik's ferocious cry, there was no way for them to catch Reville, who had already risen to the sky.
"F*ckAh, strawberries! Bring the strawberries! Come on quick!"
At Balik's scolding, the crew scuttled for the carriage.
"I can't let you do that Balik."
KACHIK!
Without regret, Reville activated a bomb placed on the wagon with an artifact.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
All the strawberries were crushed and rolled on the ground, unable to withstand the shock.
"Ughhhhh You M*ther f*ckerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Balik gave an angry shriek at the ungainly shredded strawberry.
But Reville was already so far away that he couldn't hear it.
"Mom!"
"Miru!" Are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?"
No, thanks to Uncle, Im fine.
Adela checked carefully to see if Miru was hurt with moist eyes.
After looking at her for a long time, she hugged her daughter with an expression of relief.
I'm sorry to worry you, Mom!
What do you mean sorry? I'm so happy that you're back safely."
I looked with delight at the reunion of the mother and daughter.
"Thank you very much, Sir. Sihyeon. I dont know how to repay this grace"
"What do you mean, Grace? It's all thanks to the hard work of others besides me."
"The Chief told me. Sir. Sihyeon took out all the strawberries in the storage room to fulfill the demand."
"Oh That's true. Don't worry too much. I can grow strawberries again."
Adela bowed to me in thanks and apologized.
I was worried about her health looking at how much she bowed.
I decided to leave quickly because I thought her bowing wouldn't be over if I stayed here.
I forced myself to stop her from seeing him off with a sick body and rushed out of the house.
Before passing through the front yard and the fence, Miru ran out.
"Uncle!"
"Huh Miru? Why did you come out?" Go, be with your mom."
I have something important to say."
With a serious look on her face, she gestured, asking me to lower my head.
I knelt down on one knee thinking it was something important and looked at her.
"Uncle, you know"
"?"
Miru tried to say something in my ear
CHUUUU
and there was a soft, ticklish sensation in my right cheek.
I looked at Miru with a slightly surprised expression.
"You were really cool today. I think you're the next best after Mom, hehe!"
"."
"See you later. Bye-bye!"
Miru left her last greeting and hurried home because she was very shy.
Not only my right cheek but also my heart was tickled by the pure girl's kiss.
"Hahaha, yes, see you later!"
I left the fence and left the yard with a pleasant smile.
Reville was waiting for me in front of the narrow street.
Reville?
Did Miru reach safely?
Yes. I wish Reville could've come in and said hello.
I'm I'm OK. That's enough if you'd just take Miru safely."
Reville shook his head with a complex look on his face.
He said with a forced smile as if he was conscious of my questioning expression.
"Can I talk to you a little bit?
Yes, of course.
We began to walk side by side on the narrow street.
Before moving a few steps, Reville continued the story in a calm tone.
"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you today, we wouldn't have brought Miru back safely."
"I didn't do much, it was Reville who did something more dangerous."
"No. I wouldn't have had a chance to come forward without you and your Demon friends. And you threw away all the expensive strawberries."
"Well it would be a lie if I said Im completely fine about it, but I think its alright since it helped in bringing back Miru safely."
Reville stared down at me for a while and smirked.
"You know what?"
"?
"The attitude and the demeanor you're showing me now was what something I dreamed of as a child."
"What, me?"
"If there's a problem in the village, take the lead and solve it, and be loved and trusted by everyone a figure like a Hero."
I felt very embarrassed by the grand expression of Hero.
"Maybe maybe Derick wanted to be like that at first."
"."
"In the end, he fell into bad ways and committed an unforgivable sin
I remembered Derick screaming at me for a moment.
Did he have a pure dream, as Reville said?
For a moment, I had a question in my head, but soon I felt ephemeral and emptied my thoughts quickly.
The atmosphere has gotten a little heavy.
Reville deliberately opened his mouth in a bright voice.
"Anyway, thank you. I'll pay you back with my life for saving me today."
"Oh, what are you talking about? And it was Andras who saved Reville"
"If it wasn't for you, the Demon friends wouldn't have come out, would they? Don't you think so?"
"Well, well, I guess so"
They wouldnt have come forward, as Reville said and, neither of them would have actively helped.
"So tell me if you need anything. I'll always spare my life for you."
"Gosh, I got it. Ill ask when I need help and I'll try not to risk Reville's life.'
Hahahaha!"
He burst out laughing and patted me on the back.
The strength of his arm was so strong that my body wobbled.
As I was about to feel a little dizzy, I heard a voice calling me from afar.
"Sihyeon!"
"Senior! Are you done?"
It was Andras and Alfred holding Akum.
"The Demon friends were waiting for you. Hurry up and go.
Okay. Goodbye Reville. I'll see you later."
I said goodbye to Reville and ran to the two of them.
"Did you finish your conversation?"
"Yeah, I think it's done."
The sleeping Akum in Alfred's arms opened his eyes softly to my voice.
He struggled, still half asleep.
I took over the Akum from Alfred and held him in my arms.
"You must be very tired, right? You've done a great job today."
Poooo
I gently stroked Akum, who played a part in many things.
Only then did Akum fall asleep again in a comfortable manner.
Shall we go back now?
Let's go quickly. I'm terribly hungry because I haven't had a meal today."
Come to think of it, everyone skipped lunch.
Busy at the thought of saving Miru, I didn't have time to take care of the meal.
" Lets go back to the farm. Im going to make something delicious for the two of you who worked hard today. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Their faces brightened when they heard that I'd make something delicious.
"Hmm, then the kimchi fried rice you made last time"
"Senior, I want tteokbokki! I want to eat tteokbokki."
The two excitedly said what they wanted to eat.
"Haha, I got it. I'll make it for you as soon as we get to the farm."
The two looked so happy that I wondered if they were the Demons who ruthlessly crushed the Red molars earlier.
Come to think of it, did Speranza, Boss, and Lia eat?
I don't know if theyre going to get upset again.
-Papa Did you go out to play without me?
-Hey! Why are you so late? You did something useless again, didn't you?
-I was going to cook simply because Sihyeon wasn't here Sorry, sorry!
The reactions of the three waiting on the farm were naturally pictured in my head.
As the day felt long, I missed the farm family even more.
Smiling, I hurried the steps further towards the Demon farm.
