The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

18. Rainy night (1)

I followed Hermis to a shelter near the power lines.

It is a desolate landscape.

A shabby stone building that looks like it’s about to collapse.

An improvised tent made of wood and cloth.

A haggard refugee with grime on his face stared into space with helpless eyes from all over the place.

Even though it’s broad daylight and the weather is nice, it feels somber and dark because of the atmosphere.

“It’s dangerous around here, so stick by my side. Mr. Judas.”

Hermis said as if asking his child.

“I’m not that immature.”

I replied as if grumbling, but it’s worth worrying about.

This place is close to the front line.

I’m not worried about the risk of encountering demons.

People are the scariest place.

The clinging gaze is sticky.

If I had been traveling alone, there would have been many people approaching me with disrespectful purposes.

Because of the wide robe, it is difficult to guess Hermis’ identity.

However, the longsword strapped to his waist was enough.

At least to prove that this guy is no ordinary swordsman.

I walked nervously looking around.

No matter how much I was in my previous life as an adult, places like this scare me too.

It’s a town where you’ll get stabbed if you walk alone.

Looking down at me, Hermis smiled.

“Would you like to hold my hand?”

“No.”

I firmly refused and kept pace.

Now we are on our way to meet Yuridike.

“Yuri must have heard about the situation. Still, it would be nice to meet and talk to you in advance.”

It wasn’t long before we arrived in front of a relatively intact building.

A fairly large four-story stone building.

There are also soldiers guarding the surroundings.

It looks like a military facility, and it also looks like a place where important people stay.

The size is like a warehouse.

“Yuri is waiting inside.”

The gatekeeper saw Hermis’ face and let us through without a word.

Hermis whispered as they entered the building.

“This is a building run by a guild. Near here is Jericho, whom Juda-sama told us that he would recapture soon, and the guild is supplying supplies for the operation.”

I only nodded my head slightly as they were talking in secret.

Jericho is still in the clutches of the demons.

Soon after recapturing from the empire, it emerges as an important city.

This is the information I first sold.

The information guild used that to dispatch their outside businesses here.

“By the way, if you own a guild anyway, do you need to say something small?”

“Ears are everywhere, so be careful.”

We went up to the fourth floor.

Hermis knocked on the door at the far end of the hallway.

“Yuri Eon….”

Before I could finish my words, the door burst open.

As if they were waiting for you to come.

“Hermis!”

He has snow-white hair and purple eyes.

It was the Yuridike who greeted me the other day.

But I couldn’t see her properly.

A mist-like smoke billowed out of the room.

A mist that smells like peaches.

Her figure was hazy in the fog.

Hermis frowned and waved his hand.

“Sister…. How much did you smoke?”

Yuridike is a famous smoker.

The tobacco that she specially improved gives off a peach scent.

In other words, this fog is cigarette smoke.

When we first met at the information guild, she was smoking.

It’s because she became dependent on cigarettes after she broke up with Orphe.

“I’m nervous, what should I do?”

“It’s not good for the child, so ventilate and open the door again. Put some clothes on.”

“Anyway, I’m picky….”

The grumbling voice of Yuridike faded away.

Said Hermis, shaking his hand.

“Sorry. However, since I showed good things to Yuda-sama, please forgive me.”

“It’s okay, but what do you mean it’s in good shape?”

“Yes? Didn’t you see? She was only wearing glass underwear.”

“I’m not curious, I don’t want to see you, and I’m in a bad shape.”

I couldn’t stand it, so Hermis made fun of me.

Your grinning face is disgusting.

When I shoot, the smile gets thicker.

‘Is it fun to make fun of a kid younger than you?’

Um.

I know because I tried it, but it’s fun.

But I’m no younger than Hermis.

The body is young, but the soul…. Ah. I don’t know.

It wasn’t long before the door opened again.

There is no fog this time.

It looks difficult, probably because it was ventilated hard.

Fortunately, I am properly dressed.

How fortunate I was that I couldn’t see him earlier.

She smiled shyly.

“Ahahahaha…. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. It’s been a while since we met. Would you like to come in?”

The room was spacious and luxurious.

It is a landscape reminiscent of a hotel room.

The large window was wide open.

I sat down with Hermis in front of him.

The most well-ventilated seat in the room with the scent of peaches.

Said Yuri Dicke, sitting across from her.

“First of all, thank you for coming to help.”

“Nothing.

“How far have you heard?”

The real name of Yuridike.

The relationship between her, Orphe, and Hermis.

“I heard as much as I needed.”

I didn’t hear about being a guild master.

But that’s not the kind of information you need to solve this problem.

It is enough for me to know alone.

“I see….”

“There is nothing to worry about, as I will make sure to keep it a secret.”

“Rather than that…. It’s a bit strange to ask a child to do something like this….”

You’re ashamed of yourself so quickly.

“I heard that there is no one to ask for except for me anyway.”

“Yes….”

“Because it happened like this, you should act shamelessly. Will you do that in front of her husband?”

“… ….”

Yuri Dicke lowered her head, blushing.

“For some reason, I am full of confidence… It looks like an expert.”

Hermis said admiringly.

As an expert, I have no experience or knowledge.

My strategy is simple.

Orphe also wants to meet Yuridike, and so does Eurydice.

So, just let them meet.

I’m thinking of dragging it by force.

After that, they’ll take care of each other.

“Tell me where Orphe is. Then I will take care of it.”

*

“Orphe? Long time no see.”

I stormed into a tent.

The one in front of me is a blonde man.

The roughly trimmed beard is short and sloppy.

‘A faint smell of alcohol…. The wife smokes, the husband drinks. A married couple is making a fuss in pairs.’

A young man who would be difficult to tell apart from a beggar if I changed my clothes into rags, looked at me.

“Who… you?”

“My name is Judas.”

He looked at my face and scratched his head.

“That… they say. It’s the first time I’ve seen this face, where have I seen it before?”

“I have been helped quite some time ago. You probably don’t remember.”

After breaking up with Yuridike, he wandered around in dangerous places to help people.

It was a kind of atonement and self-reproach.

As we helped others, we averted our eyes from the misunderstandings and mutual mistakes we had accumulated with Yuridike.

It is also a personality that likes to help people.

Orphe laughed awkwardly.

“I’m sorry. I don’t remember at all.”

There are a lot of people who helped me, so it wouldn’t be strange if I couldn’t remember.

“It’s okay. I’m not here to ask you to remember. Actually, there are people who want to meet Orphe-sama.”

“Me? Who?”

“I don’t know either.”

I can’t lie.

However, it can only be done with a short performance that insists you don’t know.

“It was just a request.”

“Um….”

Orphé groaned in embarrassment.

He is a powerful man who walks around the frontlines alone.

There were a few people who recognized his value and approached him.

Every time Orphe refused.

He said he couldn’t dare.

Still, I have the confidence to lead him.

‘I have a weak personality towards children.’

“He said you could just look at his face for a moment. I’m not a strange person, but I was afraid that he would feel burdened if I approached him prematurely, so he asked me instead.”

I kept pushing.

Orphe reluctantly nodded.

“Yes. Guide me.”

*

The sight I saw when I took Orphe to the meeting place can be said to be embarrassing in many ways.

It is also a skill to induce empathy levels even though they are not close to me.

“Hermis! Let go of this! Hurry! Me, everything, next time! I want to come next time!”

“Stay still!”

Eurydice struggled with her unpreparedness to face her Orphée, and Hermis held her.

“… ….”

I felt ashamed.

I turned my head and pretended not to see.

Orphe couldn’t do that.

“How….”

My voice trembles as I repeat it.

I explained.

“That person said he wanted to meet you.”

“No way…. Unbelievable….”

“… ….”

While Orphe was flustered, Eurydike also found this way.

After meeting Orphee’s eyes, he freezes.

A moan close to a sigh escaped from his gaping mouth.

“Ah….”

The two did not budge from their seats.

It hardened like a stone statue.

Because I thought I’d just stare at it forever if I left it as it was, I pushed Orphe’s back.

From the other side, Hermis also pushed Yuridike on the back.

The two were stunned and could not resist the sudden power.

They lost their balance and walked, barely stopping in front of each other.

I was silent for a long time.

They only notice each other, and their lips move as if they are talking.

In the end, Yuridike spoke first.

“… Orphe.”

A voice that barely pushes back the emotions.

She was crying.

After years of misunderstanding, two lovers reunited.

*

While Eurydice and Orphe were talking, Hermis and I were far apart.

A distance where you can see the two of them without being able to hear their conversation.

Hermis said.

“Thank you. Mr. Judas.”

The smiles on the two of them seemed to be both happy and proud.

“I can’t believe the two of them finally met…. From beginning to end, it would have been impossible without Judas.”

“Well, that much….”

“I will never forget this.”

Hermis’ voice suddenly became hoarse.

“It’s not just me. Yuridike will also remember this day and be grateful for it throughout her life. It’s hard to tell in detail, but thinking about how Yuridike suffered… It’s as if you saved Eurydice’s life.”

That’s not entirely wrong.

In the future I know, Yuridike and Orphee are reunited in a different form.

An encounter with Orphe, who has already become a corpse.

After that, Yuri Dicke goes missing, and later she too is found with her body.

Hermis remains alone and struggles to carry on the life of the information guild.

With this incident, there probably won’t be such a future.

“Thank you for remembering. There will be many requests from you in the future.”

To escape, you must use the information guild as actively as possible.

For me like that, there is nothing to lose by buying their favor.

On the contrary, if it is useful, it is useful.

“I will do my best to serve you.”

Hermis smiled trustingly.

The moment they smiled at each other, Orphe and Yuridike hugged each other.

Both seem to be crying because their shoulders are shaking.

“Um…. It’s good to share feelings, but shouldn’t it be done in moderation and greet Yuda-sama first….”

“It’s okay. Let it be.”

“Thank you for your understanding. There must have been a lot accumulated in the past. Because of the lack of communication, misunderstandings have been left for a long time….”

Most of the problems arise from that very reason.

Lack of communication.

I just need to tell you the truth.

Because it is difficult to be honest for a while, misunderstandings and misunderstandings occur.

Because of fear of knowing the other person’s sincerity, communication is cut off more and more, and misunderstanding eventually becomes a belief of one’s own.

“Most problems are like that.”

“Do you speak as if you have experienced it?”

Hmm.

I have never experienced such a misunderstanding between a man and a woman.

Lack of communication does not necessarily occur only between men and women.

“Even if you haven’t experienced it….”

I couldn’t keep up the conversation.

Because Hermis glared sharply at one of them.

Euridike and Orphe are still talking while hugging.

I also followed Hermis and moved my gaze.

An old man was standing.

A shabby hood with a deep press.

Under it, the exposed beard is thick.

“What are you doing?”

Hermis asked warily.

The old man’s beard moved.

It seems to have painted a smile on his lips.

He bowed politely and said.

“I apologize if I was surprised.”

The voice that came out was old but strong.

‘… ?’

The soft yet powerful voice was somehow strange.

A strangeness that is hard to pinpoint.

Familiar as if you’ve heard of it.

It’s benevolent, but for some reason it reminds me of a scolding voice.

I don’t know.

‘Is Judas an acquaintance?’

For that matter, the old man didn’t act like he recognized me.

“As a child of India who illuminates the darkness, it is said that I am Spenta who has gone on a pilgrimage.”

The man who introduced himself as Spenta took something out of his pocket.

A thin platinum-colored chain.

The ivory circle at the end resembles a full moon.

It is a holy relic of the Moonsin Church.

A pendulum shaped like the moon.

India illuminating the darkness.

This means the moon.

Being his son means that he is a member of the Moonshin cult.

“You were a pilgrim. Excuse me.”

Hermis let down his guard and lowered his head.

Pilgrims are respected regardless of religion.

Her I followed her and slightly ignored her.

“I understand. It is a place so hideous that even those who give should be afraid of others.”

The old man smiled kindly.

“If it’s not rude, can I ask for grace?”

It means that you can give me food or money to buy food.

The purpose of pilgrims is to fill their hearts only with faith.

They must always be empty-handed.

In other words, there must be no items that are owned unwillingly.

This is a principle to be followed regardless of religion.

So they depend on others for food and lodging.

‘That in Buddhism…. What was it Did you say siju? Is it alms?’

Anyway, it’s a similar concept.

If it is a little different, the pilgrims in this world are not ordinary people.

Their divine power is a miracle that ordinary people cannot even see in their lifetime.

Most people willingly give to pilgrims, and are helped by prayers and divine powers.

“Of course. I don’t have any food, but if it’s money, I’ll give it to you.”

Hermis asked as he rummaged through his pockets.

“Are you living here as a war priest?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes. It was hard to look away from those who were suffering.”

“You deserve respect.”

She handed over some gold coins.

3 Florin.

It is the price of one meal.

It is against morality to give pilgrims more than they need.

His gaze returns to me.

I was embarrassed and scratched my cheek.

“I…. Sorry. I don’t have anything in my pocket….”

The old man who was looking at me kindly smiled.

“It is said that seeking grace from the poor is a robber. There is no need to apologize.”

What is it?

This person…. Too nice

It’s similar to the priest Aquines I saw last time.

You are so nice and exemplary that I feel like I’m turning into a bad person….

“Thank you for the grace. May you have a bright road ahead.”

After blessing us with a short prayer, the old man left.

Hermis nodded as he watched him leave.

“He is a rare priest these days. He deserves to be respected regardless of religion.”

“I will…” .”

That’s right.

But for some reason, deep down in my heart, I rebelled against the claim.

‘What….’

I didn’t know how I felt facing that old man until the end.

Hermis suddenly looked up at the sky.

“It looks like it will rain.”

It’s still a bright day.

Clear skies.

Dark clouds like flocks of sheep roll in from afar.

As she said.

As if it will rain soon.

***

The pilgrim identified the boy.

A cool anticipation felt from him.

A thing resembling the power of a god did not exist in the past.

That’s why I was even more curious.

The boy did not recognize himself.

Only the gaze observing strangers.

The boy couldn’t even do his duty.

There is only one conclusion left.

‘Elijah’s Magic….’

The illegitimate son of the Balak family.

Her Unfortunately, she, who was born with her ancient talent, awakened her natural power a while ago.

What if that Elijah applied mind-altering magic to the boy?

For example, removing memories.

That’s a possibility.

Mind-interfering magic is hard to come by, but she might have used a method or route she didn’t know.

With a very low probability, he may have used the same method as himself.

But why? Purpose?

How far do you know?

Other questions remain.

What is that overbearing atmosphere felt in the boy?

Thin and faint, something eerie and clear that is hard to notice unless you are astute with divine power and magical power.

The pilgrim, who was looking down at the pendulum, gave up complicated thoughts and summarized the current situation in a simple and clear way.

Elijah spared her child of revelation.

I expected the second one to fail as it was rushed, and it actually failed.

Elijah will be chasing its tail.

She never knows when she will be caught.

Anyway, the Child of Revelation is still alive.

As long as that child is alive, the task will be accomplished one way or another.

Since Elijah has blossomed, her existing strategy is discarded.

It’s time to coordinate with the imperial family and change the plan.

First things first.

Remove one’s memories.

Pilgrim, Angra decided that.

*

The glass exploded in all directions.

Crack! A sharp sound filled the small bedroom.

“Haa…. Ha….”

Throwing down the glass, the Duchess of Narsisi breathed heavily.

My insides were hot and I felt like I was about to explode.

Even if everything in sight was destroyed, it did not sink.

I glared at the broken mirror with wide eyes.

A mirror cracked in all directions like a spider’s web.

A lot of myself was reflected.

The lovely, healthy blonde hair has become a frizzy mess.

Because I couldn’t sleep, dark circles formed like shadows under my blue eyes.

“aaah-!”

She lost her temper and punched her mirror.

A shard of a broken mirror scratched her hand.

Even though her blood was dripping, she didn’t care.

Her bloody hands ruffled her hair.

Exile. Exile.

Elijah Because of that, it’s been weeks since I’ve been stuck in this remote place.

Every day is hell.

She herself is not a person to be treated like this.

She’s doing nothing here.

Nothing.

I feel like trash.

An incompetent human who has no devotion to his family.

That shouldn’t be the case.

And what about the children?

How anxious will it be?

How shameful is this?

Because of only one illegitimate child, she, the legal wife of the head of the household, is herself exiled?

A villa with a minimum number of employees.

From a commoner’s point of view, it was not an exile, but a vacation.

She was not to her.

In addition, those who were loyal to him began to turn their backs on him unknowingly.

It was a sign that the power structure was already changing.

“No, it can’t go on like this….”

Narcissi sat down on the floor and muttered.

“I can’t be still, I can’t be still…. At this rate, you’ll just die. Waiting for death That’s not allowed….”

I didn’t know that the incident would turn out like this.

An assassin who doesn’t even know the reason why she intervened in the candidates she selected and gave her justification.

The Marquis of Sardis, who did not know that, touched Elijah and his ability as a wizard bloomed.

With just two incidents, all the plans went awry.

I was thinking of killing Elijah bit by bit, justly.

I waited knowing that Balak would take any action, but there is no sign of it.

It can’t go on like this.

You have to use whatever number you want.

“It’s not too late yet. It’s not too late…. Anyway, if I stay like this, I’ll die anyway. In that case…. You there.”

Narcissus pointed to her maid who was lingering in her shadow.

The maids always waited in the corner because they beat her when she tried to stop them.

“Yes. Duchess.”

“Clean up here, bring the doctor and the head maid.”

The maid immediately called those waiting in another room.

“The Duchess. I am called.”

The maid knelt in front of her.

Narsisi said while being treated by the doctor.

“Contact Ramek.”

Ramekh.

When the name of the Assassin’s Guild was mentioned, the head maid trembled.

The senator was similarly surprised, but she pretended not to hear.

“Call me right away and tell me to kill Elijah. If you tell them to pay for the mistakes they made in the past, they will understand.”

“The Duchess….”

“Shut up and follow me! Or should I kill you right now? Huh? Or is it that I have to die to clear my intuition?!”

Even if it is discovered that he orchestrated the assassination of Elijah, it is no longer an issue.

This is because everything will be resolved if only Elijah dies.

You must kill it quickly before its power grows stronger.

Only his own children should have the position of the next head of household, as well as property division.

Indecisive Ballack.

For the public good of the majority, he alienated Elijah and chose the deficit, but he could not cut off his foolish feelings and secretly kept his eyes on Elijah.

Anyway, a person who can’t openly express his shame, and unlike his reputation, he has a dull side.

That shouldn’t be the case.

We need to cut it more ruthlessly.

I’ve been letting it go, but now it’s gotten to the point where I can’t just ignore it.

His wife, herself, will fill that part for him.

Kill Elijah Hana to restore peace and balance to the entire family.

That’s enough for an illegitimate bastard, a life well spent.

“… All right.”

The head maid left as if she was running away from Narcissus who was behaving badly.

Narcissi huffed and drank the wine.

My insides got hotter, but I was more tolerable than before.

‘I will definitely kill you….’

She herself never really sent an assassin.

It’s unfortunate.

So, if he really sends an assassin, he has nothing to be ashamed of.

At that time, she wondered who sent the assassin to Elijah.

Probably not Ramek.

There is no way they will fail.

I’m curious, but it doesn’t matter now.

If Elijah dies, all problems will be solved.

Not knowing what the problem was, Narcissus believed so blindly.

‘If it’s for the debt I owed then, I’ll send a certain assassin…. It’ll be different from the failed gossip.’

Narcissus gulped down his wine again and looked out his window.

It rained.

Like the day Elijah’s real mother died.

‘It’s a good day to kill.’

Narcissus was laughing before he knew it.

***

The time to take care of the moon deer is coming to an end.

Elijah suddenly asked.

“Judas. Where did you go today?”

For that matter, Hermis made up a reason in advance.

I delivered it as is.

“I went to the Pandemonium neighborhood with Sir Hermis. For the purpose of a field trip of sorts.”

“Two of you?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“… ….”

Elijah stares at me.

It’s always the same expressionless expression, but it’s not without change.

It’s quite subtle, but it definitely changes.

And now Elijah….

‘… Are you upset?’

She wrinkled her brow slightly and pursed her lips.

‘Why, why?’

Elijah came to me in front of her.

Look up at me with a disgruntled look, Kong! And hit my forehead on my chest.

“Oh, miss?”

It doesn’t hurt.

It was at the level of a kitten coming and headbutting me.

However, I am perplexed as to why this is happening.

“It’s a bee.”

“What did I do wrong….”

“You don’t have to know.”

Elijah turned her away as if he didn’t want to explain further.

I rubbed her breasts and stared blankly at her.

He behaves erratically and then walks proudly when he returns.

As she was about to leave without saying hello, she stopped at the entrance.

‘Why are you like that?’

Elijah suddenly ceased, like a doll that suddenly ceased her functioning.

She looked outside and gave a low sigh.

“Rain….”

It rained.

It’s raining pretty hard.

Elijah looked up at the sky.

She catches rainwater in her palm.

She did and she stayed still.

Long enough to be awkward, quiet.

Her Looking at her, Lia lowered her head and wrinkled her brow.

It seems to be a sad expression.

“… I’ll go.”

Elijah said after a while.

Unlike just before, when she was heartbroken, she smiles lightly.

It wasn’t a pleasant smile.

Somehow, he looked lonely and lonely.

Does he hate rain?

“See you later.”

“Yes, lady.”

Lea held up the umbrella, and Elijah moved away from under it.

Her figure was soon obscured by the rain and was not visible.

See you next time.

For some reason, those words of hers were hazy like raindrops breaking on her floor and dispersing like mist on her.

*

“… ….”

I woke up with a strange feeling.

It can’t be, but his arms are warm and cozy.

Something soft and sweet.

I felt a sense of déjà vu.

When I opened my tired eyes and looked down, Elijah was there.

She is just like what happened on her birthday.

They snuck into my bed while I was sleeping.

‘You’re good at it…. Uh huh I can’t wake this up and tell it to get out….’

Do you know how I feel, worrying about whether or not I will be executed every time I get hit?

Yeah, but it’s the second time. Anyway.

“Ehh….”

As if having a nightmare, Elijah made a sound of pain.

“Mom…. I can’t, I can’t go….”

Grabs my collar and whines.

Her strong grip trembled.

If you look closely, her whole body is shaking.

What are you dreaming of?

Elijah’s real mother?

I don’t know who it is.

But I’ve never seen one before.

Judging from Elijah’s drowsiness, it’s already….

“Mom, Mom…. Kkeuk….”

I’m about to cry.

I sighed inwardly.

After covering her shoulders with a blanket, he hugged her and patted Elijah’s back.

The comforting words are muttered inwardly.

‘It’s okay, it’s okay.’

I don’t know what’s good, but I wanted to tell you that.

… I don’t know, now.

Awake or not.

What are you going to do when you wake up?

Even if someone finds out, Elijah will stop it again.

If I can’t stop it, I’ll kill you.

I can’t be a person so shameless as to push a child who is struggling right in front of me.

For that reason, if you are executed, you should die. Can you star

‘I don’t know, neither do I. Do whatever you want.’

It’s funny how I’m resigning myself in a strange direction.

I also have a really nice personality, so it’s a big deal.

He is so good-natured that getting close to Elijah is dangerous.

Sometimes when Elijah is like this, I feel like my hair is shaking.

‘Holding you as you please, huh? After crying, what about me?’

With a slow pat, Elijah, who had been moaning, quickly calmed down.

The wrinkled impression was also straightened out.

Sleep well.

Does he suffer from nightmares like this every day?

‘Mom….’

I didn’t know everything about Elijah’s family, but I noticed her.

The estimate comes out roughly.

She must have been abused by her family as an illegitimate child.

Seeing that she keeps looking for her mother in the midst of that, it seems that her birth mother was a very kind and warm person to Elijah.

Maybe it was unique.

I brought a red blanket and a doll today too.

Not just today, I always carry it with me wherever I go.

What do you like the most?

‘Looking at this, I’m just a child….’

I patted her Elijah and watched her still.

It is dimly visible in the dark.

Long eyelashes without fluctuation.

A calm expression like an angel.

A round face.

The child who will strangle me.

‘How on earth should I do that?’

People are defined by their actions.

Elijah who will strangle me.

And, sometimes I don’t know what’s inside, but Elijah is kind to me.

I am a simple and emotional person.

No matter how much Elijah becomes like that in the future, if he shows a completely different image in front of his eyes, he will be shaken.

Maybe.

Because Elijah and I became close, I wondered if there would be no more such tragedies.

A childishly optimistic hope.

Elijah twitched his brow.

It’s not breaking.

She grunted uncomfortably, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

‘A small thing. Why do you cry every time you sleep?’

I carefully wiped away the tears.

And then I held her in my arms.

‘Don’t cry. Because I don’t want to see it.’

The grunts subside.

From noble mtl dot com

He hugged me and buried his face in my chest.

‘If it wasn’t for that kind of future, I would also like you a little….’

With a light sigh, I let go of my nonsense thoughts.

What a pointless assumption.

However, Elijah’s body temperature in her arms was warm.

There is a cozy sweet smell coming from her hair tickling the tip of her nose.

Her eyes were closed. I should sleep too

Regular breathing of Elijah.

The sound of firewood burning in the fireplace.

And the sound of rain hitting the ground outside the window.

It pours heavily.

It’s pouring so hard that the other two sounds are almost drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Heavy rain that seems to break the winter.

Spring is coming soon.

‘How much do you pour to make it so noisy?’

In addition, survival experts were activated.

She said her life was in danger.

I wonder how much it will rain….

‘… Wait for a sec.’

There, she felt suspicious.

It’s strange.

The sound of rain is not heard through a closed window.

Slap it directly into the ear.

As if a window were open.

‘Did Elijah climb over her window?’

That can’t be.

If I did, I would have been soaked in the rain.

There was no reason for Elijah to do that in the first place.

Because you can use teleport.

Did she open the window before going to bed?

No. Anna locked it, and I checked it one more time before I went to bed.

‘In the first place, survival experts do not warn of this kind of danger….’

Her eyes flashed open.

Goose bumps all over her body.

Bang-!

The sound of thunder ripping through the air.

Lightning flashed and lit up the room.

I had to watch the moment Elijah cringed and hugged him deeper.
