Occasionally

It's a time of anxiety.

When I feel stuffy for no reason and my heart starts beating faster than usual.

“ ……. ”

Siori Mobila.

A fairy wizard who chose the only difficulty level.

She was in that situation right now.

‘What...? ’

Theori watched the conversation between Yoon-suk and Miller.

However, I couldn't understand.

I liked it, but I rolled the battlefield along with Yoon-suk during the mission.

We can't know each other's skills unless we know each other's.

But how can you be so confident in these thirteen numbers?

At first, I thought he was just a strange person.

But…….

‘No, there must be a reason. ’

Even at this moment, a feeling of unexplained anxiety is rising from your toes.

He cried out for the instinct to save himself in various crises.

I'm missing something important.

But is the terrain always like this? ’

After being ordered to kill the Witch who left the sanctuary.

Miller received a map crafted by the Rangers.

Siori looked at the map several times.

The current point on the map was not the shape of this canyon, but a mountainous ridge that could be seen anywhere.

There are many things it takes to think of as a simple misrepresentation.

As she looked around carefully, she was able to clearly realize what she had missed.

What, here? It's weird just looking at cancer. ’

There are holes everywhere.

The grass and trees were swept away like a hurricane, and the cutting edges are so clean that they were carved by the falling winds located about 30 meters away.

And above all…….

"The Horsemen?"

At the end of the ridge lies the corpses of two broken-down horsemen.

Only then did she realize one contradiction in the story Yoon-seok told me earlier.

I thought you said you took her from the sanctuary. ’

In other words, they kidnapped their widow...

There's no way I wouldn't send a pursuit of pagans.

However, Yoon-suk was still alive until the day after they arrived.

How is that possible?

Once again, she looks at the corpse of the Maw with her eyes and seems to know the answer for some reason.

That's why...

‘Oh, no... ’

A thunderstorm struck my body.

I didn't have time to hold my breath.

We must hurry and stop them.

Just now, Miller stepping over the line fearlessly.

Siori reaches out to him.

But...

“Wait, stop……. ”

It's too late.

Blame.

Miller's toe touches the ground.

It was good to see that at the same time.

Yoon-suk's hand moved and touched Miller's cheek.

Why was it a hand, not a sword?

That's when the question came up.

SAAAAAAA-!

A drafty breeze blows under the boulder.

Then something became dust and blew away.

It took me a while to realize.

Somehow Miller vanished without a trace.

* * *

Victory.

After dragging Miller to the Arena, Yun-Seok quickly returned to his original location.

If you remove the sound of the wind, you hear no noise.

Yoon-suk stared at those who were stiff as if he had forgotten to breathe.

“What about you? ”

“… I'm going back. ”

The answer came from a wizard named Siori.

Neither soldiers nor challengers responded to the decision.

It's confusing, but everyone's feeling it.

They're not the only ones who can do anything about it.

“ ……. ”

The soldiers who arrive here happily begin to turn back the way they came.

Seeing that for a moment, Yoon-suk suddenly stopped them.

“Wait.”

Was it that shocking that Miller turned to powder at the same time?

I didn't draw my sword or recite a skill command.

Nevertheless, the call of Yoon-suk made them stiff.

“If you have a blanket or something to eat, could you pass it on? ”

“… what does that mean? ”

Theori swallows his saliva with his young eyes, then asks again.

“Do you mean to skin us all and turn me into meat? ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk lost his word.

I didn't understand how he could interpret blankets and food like that.

However, if you keep your mouth shut, the misunderstanding will grow.

“Literally. The escort target is still young, but he is unwell. ”

“Oh... yes. If that's the case... ”

It's embarrassing, but she doesn't seem to feel that way.

Shiori moved the items she asked for into her bag and left her on the floor.

‘This should hold for the duration of the mission. ’

Soon, Yoon-suk moved the items she had left into the subspace bag and returned to the location of El.

Then he covers the blanket over her who is sleeping and puts the jerky and water in a pot and boils.

When I woke up, I was going to give it to him to eat.

Then El mutters in his sleep.

“Mister... No, please... ”

Rick Gersei.

What was he supposed to be?

I kept worrying.

* * *

Day 8, Day 9, Day 10.

There were no more visitors except for the pagans to take El back.

Whether it was because they were at war with each other in the middle of the plains, they also didn't seem to have the time to focus on Yoon-suk.

During the flow of time, I took care of El diligently.

Not just escorting them, feeding them, putting them to sleep, going to see what they can't do.

Recently, Elle lost her eyes and really needed help in every part of her life.

"Maybe El's watching, too." ’

I smiled for some reason when I thought of her who would be disgusted by black history, just like the last mission.

But did you hear the sound of a dodge?

“Why are you smiling? Is there something on your face? ”

“No, I just had a funny thought. ”

“What is it? Tell me! ”

Maybe it's because of the loneliness I spent in the shrine.

Or is it because there is no one else to rely on?

Either way, El treated Yoon Suk with a more relaxed attitude compared to three days ago.

I once wondered how I could do this after going through that, but a very impressive answer came back.

“You look just like him. You have a better voice, a better vibe, of course. ”

Rick Gersei.

Yoon-suk is not a pseudonym he created while performing his mission. The mercenary found at the inn where the mission began was named.

‘Maybe he was living in this era, like Wellington or Kanna. ’

In the original history, he was the one who saved El who was kidnapped by the pagans and cared for him for three years. He was almost like his father to El.

In order to understand El as a manager, Yoon-suk felt that he needed to get a deeper understanding of him, and gathered information about him while he was with El.

The more I found out, the more mysterious he was.

We froze together for three years, but El didn't know anything about his past.

El said he didn't ask because the past wasn't important, but it was a little different to feel Yoon-suk.

‘I think I hid it intentionally just by looking at the cancer... …. ’

Well, that doesn't make me a bad person.

He couldn't have risked his life and taken care of El, who was innocent for three years.

There must have been a story, and Yoon-suk was very curious about what it was.

It was a question I could not solve at this time.

“I see you have a visitor. ”

Sitting face-to-face with El, Yoon-suk, who was talking about Dorado, stood up.

Day 11 noon.

In the plains, there were people who visited this place during the middle of the battle.

The number is about 30 people.

“Here you are again. ”

At first, Yoon-suk briefly recited to Siori who stood out to him. I ran away like I was never coming back here, and I wonder what happened to me.

“I'm not here to fight. This is a saint. She told me everything Yoon-suk told me and said she really wanted to meet you. ”

After Shiori's brief introduction, I pulled up the hood that the saint was pressing down on.

Yoon-suk, who had checked her face, became stiff for a moment.

Although I got a little old here after a few years, I could recognize it at a glance.

“Kanna Blitz……. ”

“You know me, right? ”

Of course, I don't know how.

I've been sticking together for 45 days on my last mission.

It's just a memory that only Yoon-suk has.

“Then you'll talk fast. I'll cut to the chase. Hand him over. In order to make justice in this world, the child must die. ”

Kanna gets right to the point.

Hand over El. El needs to die for the world.

Siori's face turned white as she listened to the conversation next to her sharp, sharp voice.

“Mistress...? I thought you said you'd convince me without fighting.... ”

“Yes, we are. The persuasion. ”

“ ……. ”

Siori clammed his mouth.

If the Witch dies, Yoon-suk's mission will fail.

And you're going to kill a witch in front of her?

That's why I'm begging you to kill me, not persuade me.

Even if she talks about the tower, she doesn't say anything because even this side might be treated like pagans.

On the other hand, Yoon-suk focused on Kanna.

‘Things have changed a lot since then. ’

At that time, the two of them were quite good enough to follow Elle's sister.

What happened to Kanna in this history?

“I heard about you. I heard it was quite special once.... ”

“The only one I want to erase. The pagans are all supposed to die. ”

Kanna cut off Yoon-suk's words and said it coldly.

I could still feel the hatred for the pagans deep in my voice.

But, you know, El didn't.

“Are you... your sister? ”

El slowly moves in the direction of Kanna's voice.

One step was too risky because she couldn't see, and eventually she stood in front of Kanna under the support of Yoon-suk.

“Elizabeth Lorwen……. ”

Kanna starts the race trembling with bars.

I couldn't stop looking at El, and I felt a lot of emotion in my eyes.

“If I hadn't saved you back then, Lord Wellington wouldn't have died. And I... even if I didn't have to go through that... ”

Soon, Yoon-suk could feel briefly.

What Kanna went through, what kind of psychological changes she went through.

“Hey, sis? What's that supposed to mean? ”

It's been a long time since I've seen Kanna, and El is just happy to see her change.

“Die……. Die!”

I wonder if the emotions are clouding my rational judgment.

Kanna pulls out the silver blade hidden in her sleeve and reaches toward El. Of course, the attempt did not lead to success as long as Yoon-suk was there.

Blame.

Yoon-suk knocked Kanna's neck out.

Siori looks like she never expected to use this extreme technique.

The invisible El doesn't even know she was listening to him try to kill herself.

“Sis? Sis? ”

Either it felt like something was going wrong, or El rushed out of Yoon-suk's arms and into the air.

And that was then.

“Ahh, ahh! ”

El sits on the floor, grabbing his head.

And he muttered, gazing into the air with an invisible eye.

“No, no...! Don't die! Don't die! Aaaaah!"

Yoon-suk hurriedly approached El and stopped.

I didn't suddenly feel like I was seeing things.

"Could it be the future? ’

I started thinking that for some reason, but El's agonizing screams got worse.

The voice cracks, and a hot fever spreads from your body like a horned patient.

Yoon-suk, who was worse, grabbed El by the shoulders and waved.

Soon after that, El came back to reality and hugged Yoon-suk's arm and pleaded.

“Mister, please help me. He's here. ”

I don't know if she just saw the future.

But if that's true…….

We may be able to meet in person during this mission.

Rick Gersei.

The mysterious mercenary hidden in the veil.
