Chapter 121 – Apocalypse) Abel Netori (2)
“You can call me Ahyeon. You?”
“I am… I dont have a name. No, I must say I don’t remember.”
“To… Amnesia? Is that so?”
“Well, Abel said so. I don’t know the details.”
Clap. The bonfire that Ahyeon started in 30 minutes is burning. In that quiet atmosphere, the two, who seemed to have become quite close, chatted casually.
“Um… Even if you don’t know the name… Oh! Or will your sister build it for you?”
“…Sister. Demons with horns are over 100 years old… “
“Hmm… What kind of name would you like? My little boy is cute, so I want to give him a cute name.”
“Cute… Oops… “
Also, she is a girl too. You seem to enjoy being with Ahyeon more than being with me.
I looked at the two happily, then got up from my seat and brushed my butt.
Time to fall asleep soon. Since one or two have almost no fighting power, it would be better to get rid of anything that could be a threat in advance.
“Rebecca? Irene? Umm… It just doesn’t fit.”
“Ugh… “
“Then cute Aria?”
“Woo-wook… That stop… “
Perhaps because I stood up without making a sound, the two of them were in the middle of a conversation without knowing I was getting farther away. Rather fortunate
A little further from here is a portal to the Human World. Then on the way to the capital… You can find them
Maybe tomorrow He should be out of the Demon Realm by noon at the latest. If you don’t be late, you will meet them in the evening.
Cheak-
“Kyaa… !”
A monster attacked from behind the tree, but it didn’t pose much of a threat to me, who had been listening to the rustle for a long time.
The bat-type monster that was cut with a single knife fell into two pieces. Along with the fishy scent of blood, monsters who were angry at the death of their own kind began to gather one by one. Where in the world were so many people hiding in this narrow forest?
“I could have wiped it out with just one magic blow… It’s annoying.”
Lena. If it were her, she would surely have put these guys to death with a grin.
That’s why a wizard must be included in the party. Aside from attack power, you need a wizard capable of ranged attacks to effectively fight.
“Kyaaak!”
“Keah, ek… !”
“Oh… I didn’t expect to meet a guy like this here, did you?”
Perhaps because of the smell of blood, I see a large shadow in the dark forest.
The true identity of the shadow is an ogre. A guy who could hold and wield a tree the size of a human body would be hard to catch even for a party of gold-class adventurers.
Oh, of course, I’m not a tolerable gold adventurer.
Quaang-!
“Oops… ?!”
The ogre swung the tree with all his might.
It seems that I thought that I would be crushed or the sword would break at that blow. However, when the tree splits in half with a crackling sound, it steps back as if embarrassed.
“Even after seeing this… Because he’s a warrior… !”
My subsequent counterattack. Fresh blood spurts from the ogre’s sturdy chest at the angle of the attack.
It’s a strong guy, so there shouldn’t be much damage. Even so, as long as it’s a creature, it would be dangerous if it continued to bleed.
“Wow! Whoa… !”
Before he can lift the tree again, two more scars are added along with a flash of light.
After that, the same process was repeated. I evaded or blocked the ogre’s heavy attack, and attacked while the ogre took care of itself.
Maybe he didn’t want to be like this, but he threw a tree in the middle and launched a physical attack… Well.
Chow! Chew!
“Whoa… “
I couldn’t catch up with the speed of a guy who was already bleeding a lot and was in a dying state.
The last guy who tried to headbutt hit his head on a solid rock and collapsed. Judging from the fact that the ogre’s characteristic rough breathing was not audible, it seemed that he had stopped breathing.
“Hmm. 5 minutes? Have I neglected my training lately and my body has become dull?”
Even though it was a one-to-many match, he was the one who defeated the Demon King.
After summoning the Holy Sword, I looked around. Because they fought without paying attention to their surroundings, the peaceful forest was ruined.
In the blood of monsters scattered here and there… Trees that are hard to find standing upright.
“Go back now… Huh?!”
What stopped me from moving forward was the emptiness I felt in my fingers.
Does not exist. The ring that Lena always wore… Does not exist. Even if you stare at the empty finger, the miracle of the missing ring appearing does not happen.
“Float, did you drop it?! When… No, the left hand doesn’t even look like it’s been used!”
Calm down, Abel. If you look for it slowly, you will definitely find it.
Between the corpses of demons. Under the overgrown bushes.
I tried activating the five senses with the power of the holy sword, but I couldn’t find it. As I searched the floor in despair, something touched my head.
“…Abel, what are you doing?”
“Ah, it was you… Wait for a sec! You can’t come here! Why did you follow me!”
It’s not a nice sight to show a kid. The smell of blood is everywhere, and there are also grotesque corpses scattered around.
“Haha. Ah-hyeon should have been harassing her for quite some time. And the corpses of these monsters are nothing.”
“That… Ha, I don’t know.”
I wasn’t frightened like a weird guy, but… Something you don’t know though. Even if the girl was a nightmare, I secretly covered her vision with her body to prevent her from seeing the terrible horrors.
Anyway, why didn’t you feel the presence? Because you didn’t even think about coming? Or was he caught off guard by the ring?
“Are you looking for this? You don’t look good.”
The girl said anxiously and held out her hand. Placed on the girl’s small palm was a shiny gold ring. It was exactly like the one I gave to Lena one day. It’s exactly what I was looking for, albeit a bit dusty.
“Uh! No, that’s right! Where did you find it?”
“He fell in front of a campfire. In fact, I’m here to tell you that. Haha.”
“OMG… I’m really glad… She thought she was lost and how surprised she was… “
It is the only thing that proves her connection with Lena. If she had lost this, her heart would have been broken again.
She squeezed her ring, which she had taken from her girl, into her hand. As she promised again and again that she would never lose it again, the girl lifted the corners of her mouth and said.
“It must be a precious ring.”
“…Huh. The precious person she said before. It is the ring she wore with him.”
“I wore it, Ira…”
“Flaw… You don’t have to know her little boy. It’s for adults.”
“Cuck, damn it.”
I got up from my seat after roughly scrubbing off the dirt and blood stains on my clothes. She still smelled fishy on her body, but it wasn’t to the point where she couldn’t smell it.
The girl who had been silently waiting for me to tidy up her clothes, pondered something about her and asked with her mouth muttering.
“Abel, if you can’t excuse her, could you listen to her?”
“Why? Are you also interested in love history?”
“Hmm. Aren’t you my protector and my only acquaintance? So there’s nothing wrong with knowing what a woman of your taste was like.”
The girl’s expression looked quite serious. Of course, it only made me look like a kid, so I burst out laughing.
“Puhaha. My taste? You know what to do with it You’re not going to marry me… “
“I don’t know the situation. If you can’t find your memory forever, I might have to become your wife. Or even as a maid… “
A girl who glanced over. He gently clings to my arm and leans forward.
This guy… What are you trying to do again… !
At best, he thought he would play a joke, but the action taken by the girl was one step above that, closer to seduction.
The top buttons of her blouse are undone, and as the girl leans down, her breasts peek out through the cracks in her clothes. The girl who confirmed my gaze muttered in a faint trembling voice.
“Abel, I… Hate it? Are you not satisfied with me… ?”
“Hey, hey, hey! You, that… “
“Heh. Just kidding. Because her man is so savage, Ya Won. Since ancient times, a warrior must be a great swordsman.”
“…”
Where else did this crazy kid learn this stuff? Her fists tremble at the sight of her wiping the smile off her face and walking ahead.
Yeah what… There’s nothing wrong with talking about it.
Right!
“Ouch! Oh, it hurts Abel!”
Of course, add honey chestnuts.
After making the cute bumps between the horns convex, I slowly started telling my story.
“That guy was my childhood friend. We used to play together since we were very young… He was with me when I became a hero and went on an adventure.”
Before going on an adventure, I prepared each item, quarreled, and worried. At the beginning of the adventure, they laughed together, ate ice cream, and held hands and were happy.
I couldn’t stop smiling as we talked. He would be the same, because the memory of that time was the happiest memory for me.
“It is romantic. An adventure with a lover.”
“Is it romantic? Haha… Yes, it was romantic. Because the guy loved her adventures, and I just loved being with her. However… “
However, at the end of that memory is a nightmare. Former co-workers who changed my life and Lena’s life forever.
“…”
When I thought about them, I fell silent. No matter how much revenge… Because the painful past did not disappear.
“I have no intention of digging into your wounds. It’s okay to quit, Abel.”
“…Yeah, thank you. Really, when I see you like this, you look more like an adult than me. Little boy.”
“Didn’t you say you weren’t a kid! By the standards of the demons, I’m over 100 years old… !”
“Yes, yes. Okay, so what about you, grandma? Shall I call you Grandma? Or should I call her older sister?”
“Keugh… !”
You can’t beat me, you kid.
Perhaps thanks to the story, we quickly returned to base camp. Perhaps the sound of grass leaves crunching came out and the girl had come back, and Ahyeon appeared with a sound of running.
“You are a warrior! Where did you go so late… Ugh! Smell of blood! What, what?!”
“I heard he was hunting monsters alone in the forest.”
“The demon… ! You are also a warrior! Cool!”
“Haha… “
I did what I had to do… If you say so, it will look like a no-brainer.
As I stood there, scratching my head shyly, Ahyeon took the blood-stained coat. Saying that I will wash it as soon as the sun rises or something.
After praising the girl’s cuteness for a while, she suddenly clapped her hands and said,
“Oh my gosh! Look at my mind!”
“Huh? Why?”
“I decided on a name for this cute guy! Of course, this guy agreed. Right?”
“Agree. It couldn’t be helped! I recommend something like ‘Charlotte Elizabeth de Aria Alice Lewis’ or ‘Stardust Dark Flame Dragon of Destruction’, so I just picked the normal one… !”
“That means they agreed. Keuheum, so what’s the name I decided on… !”
Ahyeon poked the girl in the back and gave her a signal.
Name. Definitely not necessary Because I can’t just call her a girl forever.
As she gazed at her girl with anticipation in her heart, she said in a disapproving, crawling voice.
“Erika, everything. Damn, what a name… Ok… “
Erica. I don’t know if it suits you well, but it’s because you chose it anyway.
“Ugh! Erica, do you have to do what you promised her sister?”
“Damn, damn… ! Do I have to? Really, do I have to?!”
“Huh. You really have to do it. Come on!”
What. Have you prepared anything else? With her curious eyes, she looked back and forth at Ahyeon, her girl, and now her Erika.
If it was a disapproving expression just a moment ago, the expression now is obvious shame and shame. Erica, her face reddened enough to shine even under the dark night sky, trembled nervously and chewed her lips before closing her eyes tightly.
“Keugh, everything, look elsewhere! No… Look, but don’t stare!”
“Uh, yes… “
“You can look forward to it! I trained for a long time ago!”
“Special training… ?”
“Whoa… Then… “
Calmly ending her deep breath, Erika’s purple eyes flashed open. She walked up to me proudly, straightened her back and brought her hands to my cheeks.
Then, he stretched out only her index finger and poked her cheeks…
“Yo, warrior… ! Thank you for taking care of Erica… Thank you so much! Ugh… ! Rika Rika Erika☆”
“…”
“…”
Haha. Is it a dream it must be a dream It must be a dream then.
Her, her easy-going little boy… Her little boy, who always laughed like a man, just said… ?
“…Rika Rika Eri…”
“AA AA AA! Ahyeon!! Isn’t that why I said no!!!”
“Ahaha! Why~ How cute!”
Ahyeon hugged Erica as if she was going to die because she was so cute. She was the one who struggled with all her might, but she was buried in Ah-hyun’s murderous weapon-grade chest and couldn’t escape.
“I will die! Will die! Let go! Let go now… Ugh! Aww!”
“That… Ahyeon? What is this… “
“Don’t men like that too? It’s very cute.”
“…”
… Am I behind the times? Or is it that people in this world have strange tastes?
“Aaaaa!! Haaaaa!! Don’t pet me! Don’t even pinch your cheeks!”
But whatever, it’s cute.
I let out the laugh she had been holding back at last and tousled Erica’s hair. It had been a long time since the depressed feelings of recalling the past disappeared as if they had been washed away.
