Dungeon Defense (WN)

“Don't ever ask me to do that again! I mean it!”

Jeremy says, "As soon as I woke up, I heard a nag."

When I asked him how many days he had lost his mind, he said it had been three days. Compared to the last time, it's nothing, and I dropped my nerve. Jeremy stares ferociously.

“Do you know how hard it was for me? I almost fell asleep after seeing the student and the military secretary, the king and three people. ”

Jeremy covers his face with a horrific look.

“Phew. And with all three of them turned into some kind of anticorpse... I mean it. ”

“Yes, yes. Good work. Are the other two safe? ”

“You were the worst. There was really no invoice. Your teeth are all out, aren't they? Your muscles are all messed up. I thought you were on a leash because you're purely the devil king. ”

Jeremy said he used up all the rare herbs he had saved as treasure to heal the three of us.

Caring for the wound itself was not difficult. The problem was to treat the body to leave no scars. Trying to remove the scar from my wounded body, I almost needed surgery.

The skin was carefully regenerated by smoking scented candles to avoid tetanus, using surgical instruments and various potions. Surgery is much more complex when our paths or wounds hurt, so we quickly reconstructed our flesh while healing our bodies. She stayed up all night for three days.

He performed surgery alone for more than forty hours. It was worth the stress. I quietly listened to Jeremy's complaint as a patient.

“A medal for scarring males, right? So I treated you at the end. ”

“No, but I'm the Demon King... ”

“Please act like a king. ”

Jeremy scowls at you with a tired face.

“You know I left two lines of scars on purpose. ”

“Hnng.”

Maybe Jeremy was asking me to reflect.

“I think I handled it just fine. Was it bad?”

“Well, as a monarch, it was the best, but it was the worst. ”

Jeremy pulls out a pipe and starts a candle he doesn't know about.

“Oh, that, too. ”

“Don't even think about starting the year before you get hurt. ”

Bitch.

“Did you know that the State Department has now abolished its appetite? I haven't eaten in three days. It's better than that. The Armed Forces are staring into the air like crazy people. The protégé... is perfectly fine, but... He's not normal in the first place. ”

In short, it was a portrait.

I replied, "Is it stupid?" Jeremy glances over here, frowning.

“Well done. You can go rest now. ”

“Aren't you afraid of death, King Dantalian? ”

“…… I didn't expect to be asked that question by an assassin. ”

I looked up at the ceiling.

“Afraid. But I was also certain I wouldn't die. ”

“I can't stop it. ”

Jeremy shakes his head. She took the surgical tools and scented candles and left the Phantom's chambers. I didn't forget to order Lapis.

A few moments later, Laffith enters the room. Without a moment to say hello, Lapis immediately struggled with Oze.

“Lapis, come this way. ”

Laffith stands with his head down. He wanted to take a few steps closer, then fell back on the floor of the room. I felt stubborn not to come out and face him. I made a bitter smile.

“Closer. ”

A trivial neurometastasis occurred. Every time I tell him to come closer, Laffith moves, but he only takes a few steps and falls back. Repeating that several times, Lapis finally came before me.

“Closer. ”

“ ……. ”

Laffith stood right beside the bed. I couldn't see his face because he was leaning down. But it didn't matter. I had her hand in what she was thinking. It was clear that he thought everything was his responsibility.

Why I couldn't stop Laura in time. Why didn't you save Daisy? If I'd dealt with it a little quicker and more clearly, the Lord wouldn't have to get hurt.

But I can't apologize. I can't say I'm sorry. Because I know what kind of punishment the Lord put me in.

No one should ever look back on this case. This is my responsibility. I distributed the punishment with such intent.

If Laffith apologizes here, he takes that responsibility away from me. It's like denying my pride and my wounds.

Lapis thinks, 'You shouldn't.' I suffer with endless sorrow, but never put the words of forgiveness in my mouth. To respect my doctor.

So I grabbed her hand quietly. I felt a dry hand back. I don't know, maybe I stopped eating for a few days.

“I'm sorry, Lapis. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm sorry.”

I don't apologize to anyone. Apologies come from interactive relationships.

I'm sorry. Forgive me. Give me one more chance. I won't do it again. In other words, I want to continue to spend the "future" days with you…….

The dynamics of apology and forgiveness are therefore not established when the other party dies. It is because those who are already dead cannot spend the future with me.

He cannot apologize or be forgiven. Apologizing in such a state is only a one-sided medical expression. No one can live on my behalf. Likewise, no one can forgive someone for their death. Absolutely...

The only exception is Lapis.

As much as she's given me a chance to succeed, helped me, planned a plan to bring the continent down in despair, and stayed by my side ever since.

A long time passed. Laffith raises his head.

It was a little more awkward than usual, but Lapis was there. A blue-eyed puppet who looks at his opponent with no expression but always transparency. I had eyes that I really liked.

“…… I will never let this happen in the future. ”

“Yes. I will never do this again. ”

“I promise, Dantalian. ”

I gladly accepted the promise.

* * *

I got out of bed relatively quickly.

If you don't show yourself for too long, the saint doubts. I'm not just a saint. I'm getting public attention on the continent. I just haven't been spotted, and there are so many thieves hiding in my territory.

If I blow two doors, a strange rumor will be made. It's especially bad that he left during the festival. I was out of town while everyone was watching. There is even the risk of generating various testaments.

I can't just lie there like I'm sick. That's the destiny of popular people.

Jeremy was relentlessly biting me.

“Are you sure you're okay? Are you sure?”

“Oh, really, it's all better. Of course I would lie to you. ”

“Yes.”

“ ……. ”

It was an immediate answer.

There was a monarch here who was gaining desperate trust from his subjects.

“If anything goes wrong, I'll tell you right away, so just let me go. Huh?”

I could barely convince Jeremy.

…… to tell you the truth, I could barely feel my back.

I felt almost nothing as if my nerves had died there alone. I stabbed him in the back with a sharp needle as a test, and all I could feel was the touch of a dull nail.

The body itself is healed, so it's a mental problem. It's called mental disability.

I don't know what the sequelae is, but when I wake up, my whole body aches like a whip. Sometimes there are nightmares and pain mixed up. It's horrible.

I slept for three hours a day, so I slept less and less, and now it's four or five hours a day. That's enough. I've never thanked myself, but I really thank my body dozens of times a day.

I went to the town's Grand Chapel and showed the colonists my strength, and then I went to see Daisy. Of course Daisy was lying in her bedroom, not in a fucking dungeon.

After opening the visit, Daisy glances over here.

Then you turn around and read. The owner came and didn't even get up. He was a proud slave.

“Are you still lying down? Lazy bastard.”

“Unlike my father, I'm an ordinary human being. ”

Daisy insists on keeping her eyes on the book.

“I can't meet my father because my body is still full of pain. Please forgive me. ”

“A normal kid wouldn't read a book like this. ”

I smiled and took the book from Daisy's hand. It was written on the cover in Ancient Empire: Daisy frowns and frowns as she takes the book from her slumber.

“Give it back. I've been watching the fun part. ”

“Don't get me wrong. I'm not carrying a punishment for you. ”

Contextless words. But Daisy clammed her mouth.

“If you accept the torture of the military commission, you will simply become a poor victim. Victims are good. I just didn't want you to play a good role. ”

“…… I know. ”

Daisy sighs lightly.

“I can't believe I didn't understand your intentions. ”

“Then why did you look at the book? Don't deceive my eyes. Reading is merely reading when no one else is around, but even when people visit it, reading is fleeing. ”

I'm freaking out.

“Face me face to face somewhere in your mind. So I dodged it. You, you feel a debt to me. If I'm wrong, argue with me. ”

“Humans don't just have heads, they have hearts. ”

Daisy looks rotten.

“As long as I know your thoughts, how can the human mind disappear? ”

“That's not funny. That's not funny. That's why you're still short. I'm not saying get rid of the human mind. Don't show it to anyone else! ”

I threw the book on the ground and screamed.

“There are two reasons to expose your mind to others. One is to show your own strength to others, and the other is to seek compassion from others. Those who show their strength carelessly will make useless enemies, and those who seek meaningless sympathy will soon become self-aware. Either way, you're a premature clown! You're going to be a clown. ”

“ ……. ”

Daisy asked for it. There was a stabbing angle to see that the rebuttal didn't protrude. I raised my mouth.

“I heard you broke up with your family. You're a little pitiful. I'll praise you for your hideous skills for two years without telling me. ”

“ ……. ”

That was the second compliment I gave him since I met Daisy, but he wasn't happy at all. He was still a kid with no cute corners. I grabbed Daisy's forehead and turned my back.

“Today the acting secretary will come to apologize to you. Then don't forgive the mercenary. ”

Beyond your back, you hear Daisy shivering.

“Why? Isn't this your father's favorite concubine? ”

“I don't have a concubine. Even if Laura became weak for a short time because of me, she was not a great person to be allowed to live by anyone except Bondi. Laura is strong.”

I left that word and moved on.

“And you have to be strong. ”

Bang, and the door closed.

This time it was Laura's turn to visit her bedroom.
