17. Rubelt (1)
Clone looked into his golden eyes. The sight of Yuma killing three top-level vampires in one go.
She suddenly saw Yuma leaving the inn without saying a word, and she followed him because she knew something was going on.
And if anything happened, she intended to help Yuma somehow. But I couldn’t do that.
“… Nothing.”
The energy emitted by the three vampires was so ferocious. The amount of magical power was enough to kill him with a single wave of his hand.
But those people.
In front of Yuma, she was literally just a moth burning her two wings and disappearing voluntarily.
Yuma lightly counters all attacks containing tremendous power.
Vampires whose lives are crushed by the attacks they commit.
“… No.”
Yuma was already such a brilliant being.
She is such a brilliant being that she doesn’t even need her own lamp.
A desire stronger than any moment she had ever experienced rose from beneath her. She has a desire to become strong.
“I don’t want to be abandoned.”
***
Hestia, the Miao swordsman, had tears in her eyes.
“Huh! Help me!”
Yuma observed Hestia closely with .
[Lv.67] Hestia
Race: Miao
Alignment: Good
Class: Inspection
Level: Sword Expert Intermediate
He was very talented.
It’s on a different level from Yuma himself.
Yuma’s mouth slowly opened.
“I won’t kill you. Be quite.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Hestia whimpered and stopped crying.
“Are you really not doing killer insects?”
“If you don’t do it. “Are you going to start a rumor all over the neighborhood with her words?”
Hestia’s head shook violently at Yuma’s words.
“Never! “I will keep quiet until the grave!”
“Yes.”
Yuma halfheartedly nodded her head.
‘Anyway.’
Rumors will spread throughout the neighborhood anyway. Even if the Miao swordsman in front of her didn’t spread it. Someone must have just observed their own battle. Yuma thought so.
She herself has become quite the center of attention in this world. The three vampires we just killed were also big names.
“I’m going.”
Yuma moved her steps slowly.
I was as curious as my fingernails as to why this Miao, Hestia, was wandering around the inn just now. She was more anxious about putting her extremely tired body to rest.
Tap!
But Hestia stood in front of Yuma once again.
“Do, help me!”
Yuma frowned.
“What do you mean?”
“Her brother is gone. Uh, it’s not her real brother, but the brother she goes with. “It suddenly disappeared overnight!”
Yuma said with her sigh.
“Tell me slowly and in detail.”
Hestia opened her eyes wide.
“… Wow, it may sound crazy. I think the dragon kidnapped his brother! And it seems to be true that the number of disappearances has suddenly increased in the county since last year.”
“Dragon?”
“Uh, yes! The Miao people have better senses than others. They are particularly good at smelling other species other than humans. No matter how you look at it, there is a dragon within this county.”
Dragon.
Yuma took a moment to gather her thoughts.
“I’m not crazy! Oh, I’m not a crazy cat b*tch!”
“Be quiet.”
“Yes!”
Yuma did not conclude that Hestia, the scarlet-haired Miao girl in front of her, was her crazy b*tch.
The fact that the Miao people are amazingly good at smelling other races is also a setting in ‘Loop Blood.’
Hestia could not hold back any longer and poured out the words that were filling her throat.
“That’s my reasoning. I think Count Rubelt has something to do with dragons. “It feels like they are controlling the village so that the word ‘disappearance’ doesn’t come out through articles!”
Yuma remembered something from Hestia’s words.
‘Now that I think about it.’
If it were an ordinary count, how would he have greeted him?
Despite her own words, he objectively made himself quite a big deal within this world.
If it were an ordinary count, wouldn’t he have invited himself to the count’s castle from the first day, rather than showing him to an inn?
You must be anxious to become friends.
Even if the 1st Prince is a nobleman of the Schwerce faction, he will try to become close to him. There was nothing wrong with digging another escape route in case of an emergency.
‘It’s a sufficiently plausible hypothesis.’
I don’t know if it’s a dragon, missing or something. It seemed clear that Count Rubelt was hiding something.
If there were dragons within the County of Roosevelt, it was well worth finding them. Because dragons are creatures that know quite a lot.
Yuma She looks like she needs to get information about things. And information about the ‘Blue Hair Sword Saint’.
Even if only one of the two knew something, it wasn’t a bad result.
Yuma stared at Hestia.
“Come back tomorrow morning. In front of the inn. “Let’s help find out whether there is a dragon or not.”
“… Really?”
Hestia swallowed her saliva.
“Yes, it’s true.”
“However, the one I was most interested in was the dragon. “Whether or not you can find your brother in the process is up to you.”
“Yes.”
Hestia nodded her head loudly.
She couldn’t even dare to ask Count Rubelt a question directly. It seemed like the man in front of her could do it.
If we dig into this situation, we will definitely be able to find my younger brother.
Hestia felt that way.
“Then, can we just go to the inn tomorrow morning?”
“Yes.”
“Now, wait! Can you tell me your name…?”
Hestia asked confidently. I was strangely scared.
“Yuma.”
“…Yuma! I’m Hestia!”
Hestia brightened her green eyes and boldly held out her right hand. Yuma graciously accepted the handshake request.
After ending her conversation with Hestia, Yuma walked slowly towards the inn. Leading her tired body.
Of course, in Hestia’s eyes, he could only be seen as a monster walking softly and gracefully even after such an enormous battle.
Yuma opened the door of the inn. I saw a familiar face on the first floor.
It was a clone.
“Why are you here?”
From noble mtl dot com
Clone’s two golden eyes looked directly at Yuma.
“…I was worried because you left and didn’t come back.”
“If it was a big deal, I would have said something and left. I would have just had a good rest. Let’s go in.”
Clone lowered his head.
She felt a sense of self-destruction after seeing Yuma say that the top level vampires he had just faced were not a ‘big deal’.
‘If it were a small kingdom, the mere presence of those three would have made it shiver.’
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of self-destruction when I saw Yuma talking about fighting against a force that could make a nation tremble as if it was nothing.
“…Why am I of no help to Yuma or the princess?”
Yuma stared at the clone.
“Inherently, everyone has times when they think they look bad. And those who face it instead of avoiding it are bound to see the light someday.”
It was not comfort.
As this is said to a being who is an 8th circle great mage with growth potential, it is not a consolation, but rather a matter of fact.
Clone stared at Yuma with wide, round eyes.
“Have you ever had bad times, Yuma?”
“The situation is still not that good.”
Clone burst into laughter. No matter how much I listened to him, it only sounded excessively humble.
Clone opened the door to the inn room and entered that feeling.
I feel like I want to shake off all the complicated emotions in my heart.
So instead of going into his own room, he stared at Yuma.
“Have you ever been concerned that I’m a witch’s daughter?”
Yuma stared at the clone again. And slowly opened her mouth.
“Nothing.”
There really is none.
In , Each of the witches had a story. The story of having no choice but to become a witch.
Of course, they all were killed mercilessly.
“And it doesn’t matter whether your mother is a witch or not.”
The more important reason was this.
“Clone, you are just you.”
What if a being who seems to be the main character of this world is held back by such problems?
Yuma was just saying what he was thinking.
“So don’t think about anything and go to sleep.”
Clone smiled at Yuma’s words and spoke quietly.
“…Yes, Yuma-sama.”
And then went into the room.
Clone lay down on the bed. For the first time in a very long time, her mother’s voice came to mind. A voice that I had long forgotten because I wanted to forget it.
-Clone, clone. No matter what happens in the future. Clone just needs to live like a clone. Understand?
That sweet voice.
A sweet hug. Because it was so sweet. It must have been very difficult when I was alone.
Clone was able to fall into the deepest sleep he had recently had that night.
Any nightmare. I had a very clear sleep without any dreams.
***
Yuma came out in front of the inn.
“….”
I saw a Miao girl dozing off with her back against a tree.
To be exact, a Miao girl hiding her cat ears with her robe.
Yuma touched Hestia’s shoulder.
Hestia’s eyes widened. And there was irritation in her eyes.
“Sii! Who are you?”
Eyes wide open.
The being in those eyes was a man with dark gray hair and transparent blue eyes.
“…It’s a really good morning! Isn’t it! Yuma-sama!”
The irritation in my eyes had already melted away.
‘A specimen of strength and weakness.’
I am very good at controlling my anger.
I didn’t feel any displeasure. Because it was so cute.
“Don’t use polite language that doesn’t suit you. First, you will go to the security guard. Take the lead.”
“I-I guess so! Yuma!”
Hestia nodded her head loudly and stood up vigorously from her seat.
