25 – #06. Escape (3)

It’s the first time I’ve been to the center of the Holy Kingdom in my life, and as expected of the city of pure white, almost all the buildings were painted white, boasting a pretty beautiful view.

Besides, what about the cathedral, which is the center of it all?

It was only when I came out that I could see for the first time how huge the building was, especially the roads that stretched out in all directions around this place.

“…… Let’s go.”

If it had not been for this situation, I would have been able to appreciate the beauty of the city view.

It was able to run away right now, but if you don’t move quickly, there’s a risk of being caught by its tail someday.

Even because of the continuous bleeding, the whole body became sluggish, and even taking a step felt heavy.

People around me looked at me and muttered.

They are now irrelevant to this incident, but if they move in earnest in s*xual intercourse, there is a concern that they will quickly turn into witnesses cooperating with them.

Since I had to find a place where I would not draw as much attention as possible, I forced myself to get up and move forward.

The vicinity of the cathedral was quite crowded, so it took some time to move, but as I moved around the alleys as much as possible, I felt that the crowds were gradually decreasing.

How far did you travel like that?

“Wait, let’s rest for a bit.”

I leaned my back against a nearby wall, feeling my vision shake.

I thought I had tied the affected part tightly, but it must have happened because I moved too hard. The blood running down her thighs had already soaked her shoes.

As soon as Lenny got off my back, he came right over here.

“Mister, where did you get hurt?”

“It’s okay, don’t touch it.”

“But… ….”

There was nothing good about letting a child touch blood. She

Shook her head and tried to drop her girl, but as Lenny groped, her outstretched hand just grazed her near my affected area.

“Keep it off!”

“Ah, sorry….”

She withdrew like that for a moment, but Lenny ran her fingers through the liquid on her hand and then jerked her head away as if realizing that it was an unusual amount.

“…… Mister. It’s really dangerous with these wounds.”

“It is more dangerous to be caught by them.”

Cecilia wanted to conduct a crusade centering on me.

If you die here, it would be a sad thing, but if you are caught and dragged away, then it will lead to a disaster that cannot be expressed with words such as sadness.

It would be nice if she could just run away like this, but to be honest, I don’t know how far she can go because she’s bleeding so much.

Even if she could keep going, she had Lenny with her, and her body’s reaction speed started to slow down.

Knights, especially those who have risen to the level of a paladin, will be able to approach them in the blink of an eye at a reasonable distance.

For example, if I show even the slightest signs of exhaustion, they will rush right in and grab the strands in the direction of overpowering me, and in that case, this escape will also end in failure.

“For a little while, I just need to preserve her stamina.”

So it’s okay. She

Tried to follow her words, but her breath caught in her throat and she couldn’t breathe.

In the meantime, the adrenaline surged in the desperate situation. For the first time since she sat down like this, only a suppressed moan flowed out from the insane pain she felt in her abdomen.

“This is really… ….”

Lenny blurted out her afterwords, but she knows what she wants to say.

The amount of blood flowing from her certainly was extraordinary. She

She thought she had stabbed herself where it obviously did not lead to an organ, but she must have stabbed it so hard that it made her bleed a lot. But if I hadn’t done that, the paladins would have doubted my sincerity.

“It’s okay.”

I forcibly raised my body, leaving my blurred vision behind.

No one was walking down the alley, but if you stay in the same place for a while, you will be caught. I couldn’t be relieved until I pulled myself out of here as much as possible.

Even if I die in the process.

No, then Lenny will be left alone. That’s difficult

At least as much as I brought him out of my own greed and kept him by my side, I couldn’t let him become entangled in this extremely personal situation.

Full ride.

A place where no one knows, and no geography. Maybe the whole city could be enemies, but it was right to do our best.

So again, I lightly led Lenny’s hand and slowly moved her steps.

If it was an urgent situation, I would carry it on my back, but I felt like I would collapse if I made any excessive movements because my stamina was gradually declining and my breathing was getting short of breath.

It would be nice if it was somewhere dark.

It was around the time I moved slowly.

“This one?”

“No, I didn’t.”

Hearing the voice coming from far away, I took Lenny and threw myself behind the wall.

“What the hell happened anyway?”

“I don’t know. Didn’t the saintess just say that you must find it upstairs?”

“Why would such a person run away?”

When I slightly poked my head out to check, I saw two soldiers belonging to the Seongguk in front of me, exchanging conversations. When I thought there was no pursuit, I had already scattered people around the city.

“I don’t know about that, but they told me to arrest them first and never hurt them.”

“Tsk, I was off work today.”

Listening to their voices, I stepped back slightly.

I moved while suppressing the sound of heavy breathing as much as possible, but if I continued to move like this, I ended up going around a little bit around the road near the castle wall that I could see outside.

As I turned around, I felt the presence of another group and turned around.

Soldiers had already been released here and there, and even in these dark alleys, it was felt that a large number of people had already gathered and searched everywhere.

The encirclement tightens in all directions.

If you know the geography, you will find a way, but even though this place is basically a dark alley, it is well-organized, so it was difficult to find a suitable place to hide.

At this rate, there is no choice but to point the knife at the neck and push out, but moving in such a surrounded state is only possible when the body is healthy.

What should I do?

The solution that immediately comes to mind is, well. To be honest, I couldn’t think of the development after that because I moved with one single thought that it couldn’t be like this.

Thinking about it is meaningless.

This place was, after all, the home of s*xual intercourse.

The capital of the vast Holy Kingdom, where the cathedral is located. As much as that, the number of soldiers and knights stationed inside and outside would not be comparable to other places, and it was like a front yard to them.

“Uncle. Just go back like this.”

“No.”

A temple is also a temple, but Cecilia misunderstood something and called Lenny a demon and said she would kill him and get rid of him.

War was unacceptable, but the latter was even more unacceptable.

What did this kid do wrong? I just took it. If I have to die just for that, are all the people I’ve been involved with are sinners?

“Let’s go. There will still be a way.”

Cecilia’s ideal is also the ending brought about by my curse.

So if it was something I could handle alone, I would nod my head in agreement, but if it wasn’t limited to me and affected others, the story was different.

I forcibly moved my unmoving leg.

I had the illusion that my body was creaking, and I felt that my vision was gradually blurring and even the pain was slowly starting to alleviate.

If you feel pain and can’t feel it under normal circumstances, it means you’ve become accustomed to pain or can’t even afford to feel it.

Time is running out.

“Is anyone there?”

“There is no this side. How did it go?”

“I couldn’t even find a trace.”

I’m changing my route by responding as much as possible to the presence of people around me, but it’s probably not my fault that I’ve been circling the same place little by little.

The searchers were gradually narrowing the siege.

“Haa… , ha… ….”

By the time I took another step out of breath.

“Here, there is blood on this side!!”

A man’s voice coming from nearby.

It must be the blood shed in the process of moving. I couldn’t even erase all of them, so I expected to find traces of them someday, but I didn’t know that they would already be discovered.

Already?

Come to think of it, how much time has passed since you hid here?

Have you lost even the sense of time to judge that?

“Get on me.”

Break through forcefully like this.

With that in mind, I bent my knees and tried to put the girl on my back, but at that moment, my vision shook and my body began to lean.

“Mister?”

Lenny, who was blind, called out to me at the sound and I could see her turning her head, but I myself fell to the floor and she gasped for breath.

Her knees gave out.

Then I had to get up again, but I couldn’t even apply strength to my arms, let alone my legs, and it was like sweeping the dirt floor.

In a place like this.

It wasn’t just to meet this kind of ending.

Atonement.

If that was impossible, I wanted to live like a non-existent person.

Cecilia was preparing for a global war centered on me, and showed strange hostility toward Lenny, who was by my side.

Because not all of that is acceptable to me.

So you have to move as much as possible.

If Cecilia gets caught, she will eventually declare war because of me, and if I die, Lenny, who is left alone in the outskirts, won’t last long.

So.

“…… What is this corpse?”

Just a little more.

You can still do it.

Neira said to look to the future and move on.

Before she left, I couldn’t stop in a place like this to protect her last words.

“He’s got some kid.”

“Do, please come… ….”

“Huh?”

If you fall here, there is no future.

If only I lose that future, I have no regrets, but what about the future of others, including Lenny? Even if she didn’t die, if she was taken away by Cecilia, it would make her commit another sin.

“…… Oh, that’s it.”

Come to think of it, I always hated myself.

That was the case even in modern times, but at least back then I didn’t have to be responsible for anyone.

That changed when I came to this world and met various people.

If in the past I was ridiculing myself for being helpless, the emotion I feel now is a disgust that drives me crazy.

“You’re what that motherf*cking b*tch is looking for, right?”

Why did you do that?

When I recalled those regrets, I kept feeling sick to my stomach.

“It just went well. Being a saint, I wanted to throw a punch at the condescending b*tch. Hey! For now, let this corpse and that kid inside.”

My vision is already dark.

Finally, she reached out her hand towards Neira, who shimmered before her eyes.
