There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

61 – I Don’t Know That

“No parents. What does that mean all of a sudden?”

Through her silence, Reina’s voice could be heard, unable to hide her bewilderment.

Is the sudden declaration of an orphan a bit like this, too? I thought it was a common topic here.

She seems to have brought up the wrong subject for a long time even if it is wrong, but she couldn’t talk about modern culture.

“It was a rainy day.”

It’s hard to say that it wasn’t right now, but I have to finish what I started.

“I heard the baby crying and someone came outside, but no one was there.”

I couldn’t remember clearly, but the scenery of the day was vividly drawn.

“I wondered if I had heard it wrong, and I was about to close the door when I heard it again. A baby’s cry.”

Reina, who had been listening silently until then, opened her mouth.

“Is this scary?”

Don’t arbitrarily make other people’s lives into horror.

I almost leaked into a horror movie for a moment, but I grabbed my emotions again and continued.

“…I looked around and there was an overturned box by the door. Well, the baby was crying inside. I opened it from the inside out, and the box with the child was pushed aside.”

When she said something quite serious, she asked cautiously.

“Could that baby be…”

“Yes. The baby there was me.”

Even thinking about it now, they must be crazy parents. It was a shame that the teacher heard the sound and opened it. Otherwise, I would have died at the age of one.

“Looking at you now, it’s hard to believe that such a past existed.”

I’m a bit optimistic.

“Thanks to the people who raised me, I was able to grow up without being angular. I call them teachers.”

“They are wonderful people. I want to meet them someday.”

I hesitated for a moment at the words of hope for an impossible meeting.

“…They don’t know that I can see the future.”

I couldn’t say that the teachers were dead, even with a lie, so I evaded it appropriately.

“I-I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay.”

After a moment of silence, I continued.

“Then one day, people who wanted to adopt me appeared and the teachers were delighted. They said that I would have a real family.”

“That’s great. They think they can be a family even if they’re not the parents who gave birth to them.”

“But I wasn’t happy at all. I didn’t want to part with the teachers.”

“…”

Every word she says, she steps on a mine on her foot. But she wondered if it was because it was Reina. She didn’t feel too bad because she knew she wasn’t malicious.

“How can you say you don’t want to go when you’re so happy?”

The more you say something, the more mature I seem to be when I was younger. Is it because of the mood?

“But they didn’t need a family. It was just a reward for taking a child.”

“How could you do that…”

I thought this was a spicy world, but I wonder if the reality is worse.

‘Come to think of it, even Satan lost his job.’

“They needed money, so when the money problem was resolved, they sent me back to the orphanage along with the compensation money. Thanks to that, I was able to see the teachers for the first time in a while.”

“Haa… I can’t trust humans.”

Raina is overly immersed in my story and dissing by race.

Thank you very much for that….

“I’m human too.”

“Keuheum. That’s not what I meant…”

Even though he is short-tempered, he is very kind.

She said it was okay and continued the story.

“I was really good, but I guess they didn’t. Everyone hugged me while shedding tears, so I felt like I should cry too, so I cried with them.”

After that, I thought it was rather good that I became a target of special management because he was particularly fond of me.

“Kuhup….”

… ?

I heard her rushing in and out of breath, so I pulled her body away and looked at Reina.

“Are you crying right now…?”

“…Do not look.”

Unexpectedly, I could see him crying quietly, perhaps because he had a lot of sensitivity.

There is still more, but she finished it in a hurry, thinking she would cry out loud if I talked about it.

“After that, I lived happily ever after. Now, that’s it.”

I finished it in a hurry with a happy ending even for the audience who were weeping over my life history. Medetta City Medetta City.

“Keuheung… You must have suffered a lot too.”

“No, I lived happily ever after…”

– Warak.

She suddenly hugged me tightly and patted me on the back.

-Pat Pat.

My alter ego, which was barely calmed down by old thoughts for a moment, began to defy gravity again like a dragon ascending to heaven because of the body that came into contact with it.

Among them, there are two vertices that stand out.

Even if you don’t want to guess, the time when you can predict where everything is.

“Thanks for talking to me.”

“Yes?”

I thought it broke the mood, but the reaction that came out of her mouth was unexpected.

“Isn’t it easy to say something like this? It’s because you seem to trust me that much. Isn’t it?”

I brought up this topic because I didn’t have anything to say, but let’s just say that.

“Is that… is it?”

“I am not the same as you, but I feel more sympathy because I have lived a similar life.”

What are you talking about? That you have a father You didn’t look like that. Were you a deceiver?

“Mr. Raina said her father was there?”

“Of course he’s not her biological father.”

Ah. Ah….

To think that I, who is immune to pad-lip, got Tallulah on the contrary. This is the first time this has happened again.

Because of meeting her unexpected strong enemy, she lost her words for a moment. Reina doesn’t wait for me and opens her mouth.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t tell you about my childhood.”

‘Where does childhood begin? Are you counting from the age of 100?’

Elf’s childhood was a time when she was seriously thinking about where she started.

“My father is a dwarf.”

“Yes?”

As soon as she heard that her woolly dad was a dwarf, a stupid sound came out of her mouth.

“As you know, the relationship between elves and dwarves cannot be said empty words. They don’t kill, but they hate each other.”

It is as she said. It’s because they’re a race that hates each other, even if they don’t know the cause.

‘The reason Reina’s tone is unusual is because she was raised by dwarves….’

Only then did I understand. Definitely not something to talk about in front of others.

“I don’t know how I, being an elf, grew up with a father who was a dwarf. I’ve never talked to you about it while raising you, and I’ve never been curious about it either.”

“While you were raising me? Then now…”

Then she had to swallow her last words as a moment of sadness flashed across her face.

“My father was one of the best technicians among the dwarves. He was an engineer who encompassed many skills, not just one field. That’s why I couldn’t put a formula like a blacksmith or an alchemist on it. I wanted to be like that father.”

To think that she, an elf, longed for a dwarf.

I, too, listened quietly, just like the woman who listened to my story just before.

“But my dexterity didn’t resemble my father’s. The steel I struck often bent here and there, and my father, who saw it, said it was a waste of material and warned me not to do it again.”

Then he took my hand and put it between his left armpit.

“Miss Reina…?”

I was embarrassed without knowing why, but I soon felt a part that felt different between the soft skin.

“She’s the spot where the splattered metal hit her then.”

It was a rough scar that didn’t match the elf race at all.

“Even so, I didn’t give up. If iron wasn’t available, I really wanted to make something, even using dirt. I took a shovel and dug to find the best soil. But that was so much fun.”

It must have been really fun, and a smile appeared on her face before she knew it.

“I shaped it. I put it in fire and hardened it. After trying it hundreds of times, I came up with a somewhat plausible result. At first, I didn’t even know what I wanted to make, but I realized it when I saw it finished.”

“What the hell did you make?”

“It was a cup.”

“A glass?”

“My father liked to drink like a dwarf. He always complained that it was inconvenient to wash the wooden glasses after drinking. That probably influenced him.”

‘Isn’t Reina’s father the same as her teacher?’

“That’s how I took the glass I made myself and ran with a happy heart to present it to my father.”

And the smile that hung over the words that followed disappeared without a trace.

“I shouldn’t have done that…”

Reina continues her story with a depressed tone.

“My father threw the glass I made on the floor and broke it, then said who the hell made this lousy thing and couldn’t carry his face around because of me.”

“…”

When I heard that, I couldn’t say anything, so I just listened.

“Then he kicked me out of the house.”

I could feel the small trembling of her body in her arms.

“I knocked on her door and cried, begging her to forgive me just once and let me in”.

Her voice, as she continued to speak with difficulty, sounded as if she would cry at any moment.

“After a while the door opened and I thought my father had forgiven me.”

I just patted her on the back like she did to me.

“But he threw a rucksack out the door and it closed again. That was the last I saw of him. It’s been over 240 years.”

“Then the reason why I went to the elves’ village…”

She nodded her head and said.

“Perhaps I was pitiful, but the man I called Uncle took me to the forest where the elves live. It was there that I met an elf for the first time besides me.”

“It was fortunate.”

“Yes. Fortunately, the queen accepted me as a member of the elves. Not only that, but she also taught me how to shoot a bow, how to talk to spirits, and many other things. I thought everything was going well that way. “You know what?”

‘If you think of Reina’s visit to the elves’ village in the game, maybe….’

She was not welcome even there. I could guess what the next sentence was.

“Rumors spread that I was an elf raised under a dwarf. Maybe it’s because of the way I talk. After that, the way my people look at me has changed.”

“Mr. Reina…”

“I was a being that neither dwarves nor elves could belong to.”

Her tremors got worse. So much so that it reaches my body now.

“That’s why I worked harder. Twice, three times more than others, until it doesn’t work.”

She tried hard, she was the one who pretended to be bright, but unfortunately she was all visible in my eyes.

“When she came to her senses, she was given the title of shrine before she knew it and had entered the hero’s party as the representative of the elves.”

Then she said something self-deprecating to herself.

“Isn’t it interesting? The being rejected is the representative of the elves.”

“…”

“Actually, I was very worried about bringing this up to the party members. What if they turn away from me too?”

How far did they go?

From noble mtl dot com

I was proud that I had lived a troubled life, but I had to give up a few steps here.

“Now that I think about it, that was a really stupid worry. They still looked at me with unbiased eyes. But I still don’t know who I am.”

But her voice was still unidentifiable.

“Someday this journey will come to an end. When that time comes, where will I go…”

She pushed me away and met her eyes.

“What do you think? Do I look like a dwarf? Or do I look like an elf?”

Her ears drooped and water droplets formed on the tips of her hair again.

She’s probably been thinking about this for countless hours. Even if I try to think of it, it won’t help much.

“Well, it hasn’t been long since I met Reina-san.”

Many emotions disappeared from her eyes after hearing my words.

“Yeah, that’s right. What am I talking about. Just think of it as a complaint.”

But that’s not the kind of goblin I know.

“One thing is certain. Reina-san, the first time I saw her, wasn’t like this.”

“Hey, what’s that… Wait, why are you bringing that up again…?”

Her ears pricked up when she mentioned black history, and she reacted tremendously.

The effect is clear.

“Those eyes that were aiming arrows at me. I still think of them from time to time these days”.

“Didn’t I say I’m sorry… Stop forgetting me!”

Maybe she wanted to hide in a mouse hole, but she pushed me away.

“Ouch! Arms! Arms! Arms!”

For me, who is already tired of this world, intimidation is basic.

“Ugh…”

She couldn’t even push me away anymore and she was frozen on the spot.

She opened her mouth to the most calm of her.

“That’s why I only know Reina-san from then until now. So I don’t know if she’s an elf or a dwarf.”

– Sarak.

She moved her hands to untangle her hair from her ears.

“On the other hand, Reina of the Warriors Party knows it well. She’s very reassuring when she fights, but that’s only it, she doesn’t like being around a lot of people, and she’s short-tempered, so she’s always working… Oh, come to think of it, she doesn’t notice. This is the most important thing. .

“Stop it… Why are you being so mean…”

She only complained in a voice of bolmen, as if she herself couldn’t refute it.

Yeah, someone whining in front of me.

“But now, after turning 250, she is crying in my arms.”

“It can’t be helped… I don’t even know who I am…”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen her cry today, but that’s Reina-san.”

Then, round eyes were staring blankly at me.

“A country like this is really okay…?”

As if trying to find the answer from me.

“Isn’t it? Then who is this crying in front of me?”

I suddenly put my hand in her and tickled her waist.

“Ha, don’t do it! It’s… huh!”

“Huh? Reina doesn’t sound like that. Hmm, who the hell is this?”

My hand went next to my armpit.

– Epilepsy.

“Hey, wait! Got it! I’m right! So stop!”

She finally stopped her hand to see her coming to send her surrender declaration.

“Looking at it again, it’s Raina-san. Where did she come from?”

“Huh… ha…. To you….”

Raina glared at me with her rough breath.

Now you’re a bit of a dwarf I know.

“Whether it’s a dwarf or an elf, Ms. Reina is Ms. Reina. She’ll do just fine.”

“How do you know that… Did you really see the future?! If you do that, you…!”

She was puzzled by her rather violent reaction, but she soon understood.

‘Thinking about it, he said that he was out of his mind.’

“It’s okay. Not all, but half?”

“Half… How can you be so sure?”

“Somehow I think so.”

– Kkook.

I didn’t know what to say again, so I hit her head and hugged her.

“Now, what are you doing all of a sudden?!”

She was fine up until now, but she is suddenly ashamed of her.

She said she should, but why are you talking about something else now?

“What is it? You’re struggling to live. I’m sure Reina-san asked you to do it, right?”

“That’s right, but…”

“Would you like to pay for your age?”

“…”

She shut her mouth when she got back what she normally said.

Is it because the night price is a bit expensive?

“Really… you’re the only human in my life who has done this to me.”

Even though she said so, she carefully hugged me.

“Still, if you know… I might be okay with that.”

Her The water droplets that tormented her no longer form or fall.
