Chapter 49 – Unbelievable Betrayal (6)
“Let go of that hand.”
Nemesis’ calm voice rang through the cold air around him.
Then the eyes of the terrified children and men who were worse than trash turned to her, the owner of her voice.
“… What is it, your year?”
The short man holding the girl’s hair looked Nemesis up and down and snorted.
As the distance between the men became somewhat closer, Nemesis caught the faint smell of alcohol at the tip of his nose.
The men, who seemed to have been acting out because of her drunkenness, did not immediately recognize who she was even when they saw Nemesis’ face.
“Are you by any chance the guardian of these kids?”
The men who were licking their lips in disgust noticed her raising the corners of their mouths and then approached Nemesis straight away.
Nemesis The men who came to either side of her blatantly looked at her private parts with sinister eyes.
“Fuck, this is the highest quality product, isn’t it~?”
“If you’re the guardian of these arrogant little guys, you’ll have to take responsibility for them, keke~.”
Nemesis came up behind her with a mean laugh, and before long, her bastards stretched out their hands towards her sturdy buttocks.
But those dirty hands never reached their destination.
Because Nemesis broke her men’s arms on the spot without even looking back.
“Ugh, ugh?!”
“Ahhh!!”
As her hand, which was trying to molest her desirable buttocks, was suddenly twisted, loud screams came from the men’s mouths.
However, Nemesis did not listen to the men’s complaints for long, and she threw her big boys, who were twice as big as herself, into the wall near her.
“Go away.”
Nemesis, who was glaring with narrowed eyes at the men rolling around on the floor in an unsightly manner, slapped her hand away.
Then, the men, who seemed to have sensed something was strange, began to look closely at Nemesis’ face once again.
“Seo, really, the goddess of revenge?”
“Beautiful blade, Nemesis… ?”
The two people, who seemed to have been sobered by the pain, belatedly realized who the woman they were trying to molest was and she immediately opened her eyes wide.
However, Nemesis, not paying any attention to the men’s reactions, put the same words into his mouth without looking away from his sharp eyes.
“Go away.”
This time, Nemesis put her hand on the handle of the dagger hanging at her waist and spoke in a chilling voice, and the men, who felt that her life was in danger, broke into a cold sweat and trembled for a moment.
“Fuck… !!”
The men stood up in a huff, swearing, and immediately started running as if they were running away, clutching their injured arms.
Nemesis stared at the men walking away and regretted not being able to completely break their arms.
If it weren’t for the children watching, the bone would have been dislocated to the point where it would have been impossible to fold.
“Thank you so much!”
As the situation somehow came to an end, the boy, who had safely overcome the crisis, hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Nemesis.
As the boy lowered his head, the girl next to him also lowered her head.
“I just did what I had to do, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Nemesis walked slowly in front of the children, cleared his throat, and spoke in a soft voice.
Then the boy and girl, who had their hands neatly clasped around her belly button, carefully raised their heads again.
“Sniff.”
And the very next moment, the girl cried when she saw something lying on the ground.
It had been broken by a short man kicking it earlier.
“Don’t cry. “Crying makes me hungry.”
“But…”
“You can make a new one later.”
The boy wiped the girl’s eyes with the hem of his sleeve and spoke warm words to her.
Then the girl sniffled, burying her face in the arms of a boy who was slightly taller than her.
Nemesis tilted his head slightly as he looked at the children.
“Did you make all the items here yourself?”
“Yes, these are things I made one by one whenever I had time…”
The boy looked a little embarrassed and lowered his gaze slightly.
“Why were these items being sold on the streets like this?”
“I need money…”
The boy continued speaking in a low voice, clutching his tattered pants.
“We live with other families in an orphanage. But these days, other families are having a hard time because the orphanage is short of money. So I wanted to be of some help…”
“I’m secretly coming out and selling it because I’m afraid adults won’t let me know if they find out.”
The girl, who had already stopped crying, opened her eyes brightly and added,
Then she lightly scolded the girl, saying that the boy should use her honorifics towards his goddess.
After hearing the children’s story, Nemesis finally understood what was going on.
They wanted to contribute to the finances of the orphanage they were staying in, so they came out alone this early in the morning to sell mats.
Although their business plans and skills seemed somewhat lacking, their hearts seemed like very good children.
“Take this.”
Nemesis folded his knees and was at eye level with the children, then suddenly put his hand into his hot pants pocket.
And then what she took out was a brightly shining little jewel.
“This, this… ?!”
“It’s not that expensive, but it adds to the orphanage’s finances.”
The boy who was handed the jewel in a haphazard manner opened his eyes wide and could not hide his embarrassment.
In contrast, the girl, who seemed to have no idea the value of the jewel in her boy’s hand, narrowed her eyes and placed a question mark above her head.
“I can’t accept such a precious item! I couldn’t receive more favor from the Goddess… !”
“They don’t just give it to you.”
Nemesis cut off the boy’s continued refusal and continued speaking in a voice that was both sharp and gentle.
“I plan to someday make this Aronsheed into a peaceful and prosperous city as good as the Great Forest of Lepothesia or the magic city of Krezel. When that time comes, earn money honestly and come pay me.”
“Goddess…”
“You are such good children. Since innocent beings like you live in this city, no, on this continent, I have no questions about protecting this land. “Because you are the true jewels of this world.”
Nemesis, with a faint smile, covered the shining jewel on the boy’s small hand with his finger.
Then, the boy, who seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion for a moment, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, then opened his mouth and made a throaty sound.
“Thank you… “I will definitely, someday, come back to repay you for the kindness you showed me today!”
The boy, who bowed deeply to her, repeatedly swore to Nemesis in a sincere voice.
And then, holding the hand of the girl next to her, she ran briskly toward the alley opposite to her.
Nemesis, who was watching the children’s backs getting further and further away, soon straightened his knees and stood up from his seat.
Eventually, when her children were completely out of sight, she immediately turned her head and glared at a quiet corner.
“Please come out now.”
Nemesis spoke softly as if she was warning the eyes that were watching her from earlier.
Then, the owner of the gaze, who had been hiding his presence, soon leisurely revealed himself from behind the corner.
“It looks like you’ve become quite eloquent even though we haven’t seen each other.”
A woman leaned her back against the wall and clapped her hands sarcastically.
Nemesis said she appeared without warning and the woman who taunted her narrowed her eyes.
Jet black, straight hair reminiscent of a dark night,
Golden eyes that stand out like vivid sciturins,
A fatal beauty that is both noble and holy,
A superior body that does not lose its presence even though it is completely covered by a white uniform,
And the precious holy sword, the only one in this world, tied to his belt.
Nemesis let out a silent sigh as she stared at the woman who was not very happy to see her after such a long time.
I wanted to just ignore it, but I couldn’t because of our relationship.
“… “What’s going on?”
Nemesis, who did not hide her discomfort, spoke in a blunt voice to the woman beyond.
Then Victoria el Frey Reyhad, the goddess of victory, one of the wives of Hero Ion, a fellow heavenly goddess, touched her smooth lips.
“You never say you’re happy to see me, even if it’s just empty words.”
Victoria lightly brushed her ebony hair, faintly tinged with her arsenic.
In one of Victoria’s hands was something unidentified, wrapped in her cloth, and Nemesis was nervous about it for some reason.
“Take a moment. “I have a story to tell you.”
“He showed up all of a sudden and his attitude was quite high-handed.”
“I’ll finish it as briefly as possible. “I don’t have that much time either.”
“What if I refuse?”
At that moment, the cold air filling the street shimmered like a haze.
There was a deep hostility that was difficult to express in the eyes of the two goddesses as they glared at each other.
As the unusual confrontation continued for a long time, Victoria suddenly threw something she was holding in one hand towards Nemesis.
After leaving Victoria’s hand, it hit the ground and rolled around for a while, and soon the cloth that had wrapped around her was peeled off.
Nemesis stared at the contents of the wrapping cloth that stopped at his feet for a while.
“Shut up and follow me, traitor.”
Victoria threw down her bald head, her decomposition not yet begun, with murderous intent in her eyes.
