Chapter 388
Episode 388: Clean as pure gold (1)
[Did Oman say so?] A
cozy yet gloomy space illuminated only by candlelight. The person standing in the center gently parted his bloodless lips.
[I can’t help it.]
His silhouette resembles a woman covered in a robe.
The being gently brushed the hair of the girl who was lying on her thighs. “Hmm.” Every time, a small drool leaked out of the girl’s mouth.
[Call Belphegor. I need to discuss measures with him.]
And when he was finally about to be seen by the girl. A dark-skinned hand moved to cover the girl’s eyes.
The silhouette under the robe changed in an instant, and a beautiful woman with flowing blonde hair revealed her head under the hood.
“…Sarah?”
[Yes, your Sarah is still here.]
“What time is it…”
[The sun hasn’t risen yet. You can sleep more.]
“But you have to wake up soon…”
[You said you would stay with me for a long time today.]
“Ah… Was today a holiday?”
[yes. At least that’s what Sarah knows.]
He took the girl’s hand and lightly kissed the back of it. The other hand is still covering the girl’s eyes, giving her a false night.
[I’ll wake you up when the sun rises, so don’t worry and sleep more, my Asphodel.]
“Ugh…”
In the end, when the girl who couldn’t withstand the attack fell asleep again, he pushed back her long hair. The hood followed the gesture and went down, revealing his face.
[I wonder what would happen if those who were deprived of love were also deprived of sloth.]
It was an empty, non-existent face.

“You’re late.”
Suzaku finally regained enough strength to take us out.
“There was an accident.”
Of course, the first place we headed to was the place where we left Meister and the three others. Four people who heard the fluttering sound came out and welcomed us with their arms crossed and their hands waved.
“Is this related to the fact that Suzaku got smaller?”
“okay.”
I nodded to the person leaning on the porch of the cabin. Then the Meister’s body stood upright and turned inward.
“You’re going right away, right?”
“I guess so.”
This is the main operation that was already worried about the empty space in the front line. Now that it has been unexpectedly delayed by three days, no one will know what its true feelings are.
The best consideration we could give was to hasten our steps even if it was unreasonable.
“Is the problem completely solved?”
“okay.”
Fortunately, thanks to the Inquisitor and Daniel sticking together for three days, the dragon recovered to some extent. Even if nothing can be done about the empty space in the piece, the cracked part has been completely filled.
Accordingly, the dragon’s spirit was awakened to some extent. According to Suzaku’s expression, it has changed from ‘fainting’ to ‘sleep’.
And the dragon’s daily routine is to take a nap, contemplate and protect the world. At least that’s what Suzaku insisted, so we decided to get out of there.
After all, if the dragon could do its job, there was no need for us to be there.
“…You two survived well.”
“hmm?”
At that time, the Meister’s eyes turned to the girl and fighter who had not gotten off Suzaku’s back behind me. My gaze became vague.
“…I thought you were alive and well.”
“what. “Did I look like a dead body that couldn’t survive for just a few days?”
“I wasn’t talking about that.”
Could it be that I was talking about the issue of living skills?
“Can you apologize to Berserk later?”
“why me?”
“…okay. “I knew you would say that.”
“Oh no way. “Did you think he would have killed me?”
“Then you guess that’s not the case?”
I think that bastard is going to go to hell someday because of his pettiness and shamelessness.
I started to get really worried about Meister. What if that bastard really dies like that? No, what should I do? I lost everything. That was roughly the worry.
“What did I do wrong?”
“well. “If that’s your opinion, then I have nothing to say…”
What’s the use of adding words to it when you say that’s what you think?
I shrugged, telling him to just figure it out. Although it resembles Janghwa, it is different in crucial aspects. A new realization is making my mind lonely.
“What is that way of talking?”
“It meant that I wouldn’t force it. never mind.”
Well, it’s not like I was looking at Boots from Meister, so there’s nothing to be disappointed about because they’re different…
Still, it’s probably hard to get close to Boots. I made that judgment vaguely. It was nice that we lived in different worlds and that it had only been a while since we met. Even without all of that, Meister and I wouldn’t have become closer than a certain amount of time.
“Pack your bags faster than that. Or is there something I can help you with?”
I’m not doing this because I don’t want to be close to him. Long experience has taught me that if it doesn’t suit you on a human level, it usually happens even if you don’t want it to.
“…Nothing in particular. “If you don’t have anything to do, just bring the tools.”
“Sure.”
So, I decided to distance myself from him based on my experience. Unless something special happens, this distance will probably not change.
“I’ll put it in my subspace bracelet.”
“okay.”
I must have gotten the bracelet back from Dev. There must have been some space in the bracelet.
I swung the tool into it. It didn’t take long since all I needed was a chisel or a hammer knife.
My eyes wandered to the messy living room.
“Should I take these too?”
What is all this? I looked at the L-shaped objects scattered randomly on the floor.
It’s clunky, but it looks like a gun since it has a trigger and trigger… Wait. Come to think of it, didn’t I tell you about the Taser I used on him last time?
I couldn’t help but notice that my eyes were watering. Did this guy really make it?
“Just take these. “I don’t need the rest.”
“Yes… but did you really make it?”
There is no particular reason why I told you about the Taser gun. After Meister encountered Pamir of Blue Desire unprepared, I thought he might also need some self-defense equipment.
The reason it was a Taser rather than a gun was to prepare for cases where the enemy was not the enemy, like this time.
“uh.”
“It’s quite plausible….”
But who would have guessed that production has already started so soon after I told you about it.
Anyway, the master was a master. In such harsh conditions, he was able to create a believable shape based on only a few crude drawings and explanations.
“You could shoot that.”
“…what?”
“I didn’t have enough iron, so I only used wooden sticks. “For now, launch is possible.”
Crazy crazy guy. He pulls this off.
I was so startled that I dropped one of the pieces I had just been holding. Although I barely caught it before it fell, it was still shocking.
“Oh yeah. “Now that I think about it, I need to get the prototype back as well.”
“prototype?”
“That girl asked me to borrow it.”
The girl borrowed a Taser? I didn’t really see anything he was holding.
“Did you really lend it to me before that?”
Meister and no one else? you? really?
“Are your eyes so irreverent, you bastard?”
“Yes… you were also a lenient adult towards children.”
“What are you talking about, you idiot?”
“Good job. “If you’re an adult, that’s what you should do.”
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
I thought your personality was crushed like perilla seeds ground in a mortar, but I still knew you would be kind to your child.
I was moved by the unexpected side of the meister and slowly prepared to leave the building. I decided that since I had packed all my things, there was no reason to stay any longer.
“You really…”
The meister slowly followed behind me. “Wow, it’s cold.” All kinds of swearing and complaints were spewed out, but it didn’t really bother me. Just don’t do it in front of the Inquisitor or the kid.
“Whoa. “We’re finally heading south.”
“But why did the Firebird get smaller?”
“Shut your mouth and just get on.”
Because the area of the main deck has been reduced, you will have to ride close to the horses, but this is something you will have to accept.
In short, I made a gesture while looking at Berserk, who was trying to discipline the three Nordeans. Because she had promised something, she stepped on the outskirts and waved her hand.
Whick!
The moment Ratel, which flew in the form of a rope, fell into Berserk’s hands, my body was pulled upward like a fish on a fishing hook.
“I’m indebted to you again.”
“It was nothing.”
The body that rose upward fell again due to gravity, and Berserk caught it. It was so strong that my body was completely supported by one hand.
fluttering.
Even though the floating cloak fell heavily behind her, she stood tall and did not show the slightest movement. It was a tremendous sense of stability.
“I could have carried you on my back.”
“I can’t just make you suffer every time, right?”
I was safely transported to the basket in the same condition as Berserk. In the past, the Inquisitor had moved the basket to the same spot.
“Are you still riding the basket?”
“Unfortunately, my constitution did not change after going to the North once.”
Meanwhile, the Meister who came up with the help of Daniel and Deathbringer laughed at me. Suddenly, Berserk and his gaze seemed to be intertwined.
“Hey kid. “Don’t you have something to return to me?”
Meister Hana never spoke to Berserk in the end. I didn’t even expect it. I watched him take a step towards the girl.
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
“What is it that you left behind?”
“I didn’t leave it behind! “I just woke up and…”
If the meister is being too harsh with the girl, you should intervene right away.
I carefully looked at the explanation of the situation, which continued step by step, and the expression on the Meister’s face as he listened to it.
[If everything is done, we will depart.] As
Suzaku began his flight, the air surrounding him became a little colder.
“That’s what I said.”
“I’m sorry….”
“No, that’s okay. “Because I was essentially giving up on getting it back.”
When the girl said that fortunately she had lost it, Meister obediently agreed. There was no need to worry. My heart was relieved by this unexpectedly positive situation. As expected, it is clear that Meisters are weak towards children.
“Instead, let out the feelings you felt while writing.”
“yes yes!”
Then, is there nothing more to worry about now?
I took out a pen and paper, leaving the Meister questioning the girl and Berserk watching from a step away.
There is one purpose. The goal is to draw faces that you see unexpectedly before you forget them.
“There are some shortcomings….”
“Would it have helped?”
“It’s enough to cover the loan amount.”
Of course, there are quite a few things I drew over the past three days. However, the more data that can remind us of memories, the better.
“…Did you lend me a weapon?”
“however?”
“…I want to say thank you. “If it weren’t for your help, this kid would have died there.”
I moved my pen while thinking of the faces of my friends, whom I had accidentally seen because they had suffered serious injuries. The Deathbringer who was snooping nearby had a very curious look on his face.
“I bought it because my child put it to good use, and I don’t think it’s something I should be grateful for.”
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“…Well, if you really appreciate it, there’s nothing I can’t accept.”
If you’re really curious, there’s nothing I can’t tell you. Anyway, even if I say it now, I won’t be cornered.
“….”
“….”
“Oh really.”
I pointed to each person in the picture and told them who they were.
Seonlim is a friend from whom I always learn a lot. He may be a bit picky, but he has a lot of patience. This is Jeonghee’s mood maker and the one who takes the lead in causing accidents. Lastly, Taekyun is the reason I like cars.
“What is that?”
Come to think of it, we were all supposed to go volunteer together in the summer, but it must have been canceled because of me.
Dev wiggled his hands at my muttering. “It seems like all of Nari’s friends are similar to her.” It was a story I heard occasionally.
“Oh sir.”
There is nothing I can do about it. I tended to only keep the people who could be like that as my true friends, and those who weren’t like that didn’t even try to stay by my side in the first place.
Well, in the end, these four are the only ones left by my side.
“I’m sorry.”
But around that time, I heard something familiar but unfamiliar.
“…?”
“I felt sorry at that time.”
…You were a person who knew how to give a meister apple, right?
“It’s not that I didn’t foresee that possibility, but I wasn’t really trying to deceive. “I just want you to know that.”
Of course, is that a proper apology? If you ask me, that’s a separate issue. Still, I apologized. I thought it would never happen, but surprisingly it did.
“…okay.”
Berserk’s eyes widened slightly as if he hadn’t expected this situation. The amber eyes looked unusually clear against the bright blue sky.
“I will accept that apology.”
At this level… can it still be considered average? I leaned back against the basket, feeling a little lighter.
“Uh oh!”
Kudang!
“…!”
“Oh my gosh!”
“Wow!”
…I forgot that the basket couldn’t support the weight of my body. My back burned with the fire of purification.
