Chapter 126 – Apocalypse) Abel Netori (5)
“Hmm! It was delicious. Come on, Ahyeon. Try it sometime.”
“Thank you Erica. I will eat well!”
“And… You get it too I hope you eat well to gain strength.”
“…Thank you.”
There have been no incidents since that day. Irene seemed to have made up her mind to remain calm, and Erika and Ahyeon also did not give her any more attention than was necessary.
But the problem was elsewhere.
‘…Head hurts.’
These days, there is no day to leave the headache in my head. The main cause is, of course, Erika’s true identity.
A direct family of the Demon King! I don’t know how I lost my memory…
‘No. Maybe he didn’t lose his memory.’
It may have been that he approached me as a hero pretending to have lost his memory for some reason from the beginning.
If so, what are you aiming for… Oh, I don’t even know
“Hehe, Abel. What do you think don’t eat I have a lot of yours in particular.”
“Ah… Huh. I will eat.”
Let’s not think too hard. I don’t feel any hostility towards Erica right now.
I don’t think a guy with a smile like that just by enjoying the food he cooked for me approached it with some intention.
“Hmm… Oh, is it really good?”
“Haha! I’ve made enough, so eat as much as you want!”
Although she received help from Ahyeon, the meal Erica prepared was quite edible. It was delicious.
I was able to eat even the picky Irene calmly, so I said everything.
After breakfast, we started planning the operation to rescue Reina in earnest. Irene, who built the porridge, talked with her colleagues while drinking tea.
In fact, at least if it was a strategy, I would go in alone and bring Reina out. But what… Anyway, I have to talk.
“… She’ll take Reina there, so make arrangements in advance so she can leave right away. There’s no way Renoir will let us go well.”
“Aren’t you sending them well? Then… “
“They will mobilize all their guards, or in the worst case, hire mercenaries to come after us. Because right now, each and every prostitute is in a precious position for Renoah.”
“Um… Isn’t that too dangerous… ?”
I answered with a clenched fist at Ah-hyun, who was asking that question with concern.
“I am a warrior in my own way. Don’t worry, you won’t be caught unless the demon king is chasing you.”
“Then I’m glad… Hehe, be careful.”
It’s a place where I don’t have very good memories… My colleagues decided to stay and wait at my family’s villa on the outskirts of the capital.
Even if it was me, I couldn’t leave my comrades who lacked fighting power in the middle of the city. Even though there is Erica, the younger sister of the Demon King, her memories are not yet complete.
Colleagues agreed with me. Although Erica insisted on following me…
“If you follow me, only Ahyeon and Irene will be left here. Would it be okay if I left them alone?”
“Oh… Such a problem… ! I get it. I won’t let you stay.”
I was able to easily convince him by whispering.
Even though we fight every time, it seems like I really like Ahyeon.
So then… Shall we go now?
Renoir’s entrance was not much different from before. But when she opened the door and went inside, she noticed that it was definitely less lively than before.
Not to mention the customers, not even the janitor cleaning the store. A condition often described as flying only flies.
The manager who was sitting at the desk glanced in my direction and spoke to me.
“ID.”
“It has changed a lot from before. Doing ID checks in the back world.”
“…Since then things have changed. We cannot let you in unless you leave your ID.”
“Mmm.”
The caretaker said that, adjusting his round glasses.
Renoir is a Changgwan with a fairly long history. He made a name for himself in the back world, and also took advantage of many interests by secretly working with the imperial family.
How could such a place be so ruined? As expected, in the past, Lena and Chloe’s grand operation to rescue the prostitute must have caused a great loss.
By the way Because I am very busy right now.
“…”
“Yes, I will take it… Hmm?”
The janitor expressed his doubts about the outstretched empty hand.
“Customer? You have to give me your ID… Whoops!”
He grabbed his outstretched hand and slashed his chin. It wasn’t enough to cause serious injury with the cumshot in his hand, but at least he wouldn’t be able to get up for a while. Falling to the floor, he groaned for a moment and then fell silent.
“Whoa… “
Quickly. I don’t want to stay here long
It wasn’t too difficult to find Reina’s room. The biggest and most splendid room, of course it will be there.
As he opens the door, the scent stings his nostrils and he frowns. In the room, a woman who was getting her hair done turned her head to me.
The wonder in the round eyes. A familiar yet unfamiliar face. The last time I saw you, I think you cursed me ferociously…
“What? A guest has arrived… ? I haven’t received anything… “
I couldn’t find any such emotion in Reina’s expression when we met again. Her tone of voice also changed to be like a completely different person.
On the contrary, it is an expression close to happiness. What have you been through all this time? I don’t really want to know, but I’ve been thinking about it for a while.
She said to her that it was better than having her time wasted by a pointless argument anyway, clearing her thoughts and tilting her head.
“Raina, I’m here to pick you up. She had no intention of coming to pick me up, but… One really nice person desperately looking for you.”
At that, Reina smiled brightly and bowed her head to her.
“Hey, how are you? I’m Renoir’s platinum whore-“
“…I can not hear you? ‘Cause I’m here to save you It’s nothing to say that I made it like this.”
“I am Reina! Please eat as much as you want.”
“…Whew.”
Is this more serious than expected?
She wasn’t making eye contact with me properly. Just smiling and looking somewhere beyond the door like a person who has lost his mind.
Wait, like I’m out of my mind?
“Wait, you… “
“Huh… If you’re in a hurry, I’ll serve you first, so please sit here… “
“Weak? It seems to contain hallucinogenic ingredients.”
Her faint scent felt from her is that of the cymine herb, which has a strong hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effect on her. There were even syringes filled with suspicious liquids on top of her dresser.
Come to think of it, blurry focus, sluggish motion. In addition, several symptoms that appear when addicted to drugs stand out.
I don’t know how badly poisoned I was… It will take quite a while to come back to your senses.
Once again, she sticks out her tongue at Renoir’s vicious policy. She was forced to use drugs to keep her prostitutes afloat.
“Up! Raina’s Room, Invasion of the Stranger! Gather all the guards!”
“Already? Chit, your organizational skills have improved so much.”
It’s not the time to be like this. The situation is not good. In the meantime, they found the collapsed janitor, and the guards began to flock downstairs.
Ten, no, twenty. Can you get rid of it without killing it? While protecting Reina?
… You don’t have to be adventurous.
“Let’s go, Reina.”
“Yes… Where do you like? Oh, there is an extra charge for outdoor play… “
“Shut up and follow me… Ha, okay, just stay still.”
“Oops… !”
I lifted Reina’s light body and placed her feet on the window sill. Her soft nightgown brushed the nape of her neck, giving off a strange scent.
At the right time, the guards burst into the narrow door with a crackling sound. I condensed all my strength into my calves and stretched out.
Up in the sky, as high as possible.
There is no skill like this to break through the siege.
Fang-
“Suck!”
In an instant, buildings disappear from view. It feels like being caught between clouds. I spread the condensed mana under my feet and floated in the air.
“Cloud… ? Whoa… Hmong Hmong… “
“Whew.”
Rest assured with this. There would be no one on the whole continent who could come after him unless he was at the level of a knight commander.
“Should I leave immediately? Are you ready to finish by now?”
But what I couldn’t take into account was that Reina’s condition was worse than I thought.
After being temporarily rendered an idiot by drugs, she did something unexpected, perhaps because the clouds she saw up close for the first time were amazing.
“Reina, would you like to touch the clouds… “
“Ugh? What are you doing… “
She reached out for her cloud, but it slipped off her shoulder and plummeted. I couldn’t catch her because her was so fleeting.
Embarrassed by her, I stared blankly at the fall for a second, then followed her hurriedly and lowered her altitude.
“Shit! Ray… Reina!”
“Ahhh?! Ugh… !”
“Oh man… !”
Like this sick… No, since I made it like that, what are you even talking about? Anyway, what a useless guy!
If it were Rafe, he wouldn’t blink an eye even if he fell from a height like this… It’s something you don’t know when you’ve become Rayna. In any case, if the authority does not work, it will lead to death by falling.
And when I saw her state in which she had completely lost her pride as a demon, the possibility of that was very strong.
Fortunately, I was able to catch her much faster than her raina accelerated her fall.
“Round and round… Ugh… “
“Ha… Now stay still I will take you to Ahyeon.”
“Ahyeon… ? Ahyeon’s older sister… ? I miss you, sorry… I’m sorry… “
“Do you remember Ahyeon? That’s interesting.”
Now that Reina has been rescued safely, she now only has to return to her promised place, the villa.
The villa… Won’t it be great? Why do I have an ominous feeling?
I sprinted through the air and hurriedly flew towards the villa.
***
Thump-
“Oops… Are you still a warrior? Have you had any contact?”
“…Okay. It seems to be still there.”
“This… ! I don’t think I can last long… !”
Ahyeon muttered that as she tried her best to hold the doorknob.
She hadn’t expected it at all, and that’s why she wasn’t prepared for it. Why, as soon as the hero left, she waited…
Quaang-
“Oh… !”
– A final warning. We have received reports that treason is being plotted here, so if you don’t surrender right away…
“Because I didn’t do that! Come back later!”
Time goes back to 5 minutes after Abel left.
Ahyeon, Erica, and Irene were in the middle of packing useful things into their backpacks. Since I don’t know how long it will take to return to the Demon Realm, it was to collect things that could be helpful as much as possible.
But for some reason, I was just about to search the warehouse, but someone knocked on the door.
I heard that it was a patrol unit or something. Did you get a report of plotting treason or something? I didn’t even do that!
– I’ll count to three. One two…
“Oh my god… !”
Moment of despair. Ahyeon tightly closed her eyes to defend the door until the end, but the expected situation did not happen.
Erika, who was in battle stance, also tilted her head. When Ahyeon narrowed her eyes, she heard a conversation outside.
-Why are the knights…
– Proof of being a member of the imperial family. Someone sent it through a kid yesterday. He said he would be able to get the princess back if he came here.
-…The princess? That…
Ahyeon, who had been silently listening to the conversation, finally couldn’t stand it and shouted.
“What bullshit! What is the princess like, why is she here looking for dead people!”
-Are you resisting inside?
-Yes. They claim to be irrelevant…
-…Was it a false report? How dare you mention the princess…
Somehow things seem to be getting better. Ahyeon, who had become a bright color, would not be able to appear outside, but he nodded his head. Please come back soon!
-Then… Withdrawal…
However, the moment she heard the word she had been waiting for, Irene, who had been crouching down until now, suddenly stood up. Ahyeon, who was relaxing her body, did not have the ability to withstand Irene’s strength, and when Ahyeon sat down on the floor, Irene opened the door wide.
“Ah, Irene… !”
“Bo, bonnyeoga! The original daughter is the princess! She’s been kidnapped… Ugh!”
Erica instinctively blocked Irene’s mouth.
However, it was too late. The sound has already spread, and the attention of the patrol and knights who were preparing to leave has been focused.
A person who seemed to be the representative of the group of knights stepped forward.
“Princess… Did you say?”
“Puha! This… Let go! Off! Yes i… The original daughter is the princess, the princess of the empire!”
Irene had no doubt that they would recognize her.
However, what she overlooked was that her status was too noble for her knights to know.
The knights, including the captain of the knights, did not recognize Irene, who was the princess. Rather, she drew her sword, burning her murderous intent at her words.
“Ah… ? Uh, why!”
“The princess is dead! By the scheming of an evil assassin… How dare you insult the princess!”
“To? Oh no… Uh… ?”
Irene panicked and her legs gave way and she sat down on the dirty dirt floor. Her Ahyeon tried to stand her up, but Erica stopped her Ahyeon.
If you act rashly… Her life could be lost in an instant.
Erica stopped them, relying on her instincts. The idea that she only had to protect her mansion and her companion, Ah-hyeon, that was all.
“Arrest everyone! Go through the inside of the mansion too!”
“”Yes!””
Watching the approaching knights and rangers, Erica thought.
Maybe it will be the last. And… It was pretty fun. It’s not much memory, but I think the recent week was happier than all the moments I’ve been through in my life.
To treat you more kindly. It was the same for Ahyeon and for Abel.
Regret is late What is needed now is a solution to the situation.
Erica clenched her fists and took her flag. Although she was alert to her petite frame, her knights unflinchingly raised their swordsmanship and aimed at her.
“Ahyeon! Take Irene and escape through the back door! Here i… !”
A sword that is swung before you even finish talking.
Late. She couldn’t react. The blade of the sword containing blue sword energy landed on Erica’s neck.
“Ah… !”
Even if you have the upper hand in technology, if your body is below the level, you will not be able to compete.
Erica had already thought of all the countermeasures based on her opponent’s actions, but she never thought she wouldn’t be able to read her opponent’s attacks. Her body was too weak.
Erica didn’t close her eyes, even though she knew perfectly well the pain that was coming. She continued to stretch out her fist.
And, thanks to that, she could see.
“What did you just do?”
Her strong back that stood in front of her. Even though it was an attack with all his might, he did not budge and blocked the enemies like Taesan.
“What did you do to Erica, she asked.”
Ah.
Was his voice so strong?
