4. Sione Cianella (4)

“What?”

She growled ferociously, just like when Shione called Shion’s name.

Well, I didn’t think it was that threatening because it felt like a bulldog’s throat was ringing rather than a beast like a lion or a tiger.

The threat of a man who has never been a beast does not inspire me at all.

Of course, it seems that her heart is beating a little more than usual, perhaps because of her incredibly high status.

However, I never thought of giving up on this quest just because my heartbeat just got faster.

It can be quite a stimulating challenge, but the main point of this quest is not the trivial reward of liking her.

Accelerate the collapse of Sione that will come in case of failure.

As you can see from the contents of her collapse quest, she must have been eaten up by a sense of shame and become a more severely disabled person than she is now.

Depending on whether or not she changes, the survival of this world as well as her return to Earth depend.

At least she shouldn’t be crushed by her sense of self-doubt.

It would be better to push forward with the momentum that she has taken away her luck with words that stimulate her.

I put a thick iron plate on my mug and brushed my mouth without hesitation.

“There is no need to insist on using the same sword as Siabelle-nim.”

“That’s absurd. You said you were born in heaven, so you’re so ignorant that you don’t even know what kind of place our Cianella family is.”

I am well aware that the Cianella family is a prestigious military family that has continued to produce outstanding knights since its inception.

Even if they don’t have any other talents, at least those who inherited that blood are remarkably good at handling swords.

That’s why Cianella has an image of a family of swords and knights.

At least until the previous generation.

“I have heard that even Shion Cianella-sama has taken the path of a priest rather than a sword and is achieving outstanding results. Even Shione-sama doesn’t have to stick to the sword because she is tied to her bloodline.”

Shion, one of the Cianella of this generation, has the gift of being a priest.

Besides, I don’t know if it’s accurate, but Shion heard that he’s only good at divine power and doesn’t have that great talent when it comes to swords.

There is such a Shion, but it’s not right to conclude that Shion doesn’t have other talents.

The fact that there is no other option besides the sword because the history was like that sounds like bullsh*t in my situation.

I’m quite dissatisfied with Shione’s obsession with a single sword like that.

“No one is born without talent. Sione-nim just hasn’t found the talent she was given yet.”

“…….”

“Shione, have you ever practiced something other than a sword?”

Shione looked up at me for a while, then drank the water I had poured into the glass.

Beep beep.

Click.

The cup, which had been emptied in one go, was put on the table quite violently.

She said nervously as she set her glass on the table.

“After giving up the sword, I grabbed a spear. As expected, the day never came when not only the sword but also the spear in my hand always moved smoothly.”

“In the end, after putting down the spear, I tried to learn magic separately. But unlike Shion, I didn’t match with divine power or magic at all.”

“Still, I thought it was too early to give up. I realized that dynamic things didn’t fit, so I went to the library and read books to build static knowledge.”

But-

Shione’s shoulders trembled slightly.

Her pupils rippled.

In the shaky gaze, I could see that Shione was recalling her memories of her now and her past.

Shione held her breath for a moment, suppressing her strong emotions as much as she could.

“I didn’t even ask for support. I just wanted them to understand and wait until I found my way. Everyone was busy comparing and belittling me when I went into the library and read.”

“I’m glad.”

“…You must have heard me wrong?”

In an instant, Shione’s gaze changed as if she would tear me apart.

Her reaction was natural.

I said it, but even if I think about it, words like that don’t fit at all in this atmosphere.

However, there is a saying that you should listen to what people say to the end.

For me, the important meaning was in the words that continued, not in the words that sold only the painful part of that Shione.

I said, keeping my cool as much as possible in the bulldog’s gaze, which was staring at me quite ferociously.

“I’m glad there are still things I can teach you.”

That bewildered expression, saying that he didn’t even feel the need to get angry anymore at my words. Shione just stared blankly as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.

“Have you ever pulled a bowstring?”

“What on earth did you mean by that? If it’s just an intention to shake me up, isn’t it enough…?”

Shione’s voice began to tremble.

“I think it would be a good idea to take some time starting tomorrow and try a little bit. How is it?”

“I said I went out of this room and shot an arrow? Ha, I can hear the knights laughing all the way here.”

Shione gave a bitter, self-deprecating laugh.

“What do you mean you’re just teaching me, and if I follow you, I’m sure I’ll be a laughing stock again. Is there any reason I should go out and suffer like that?”

“I was born as a humble slave, but I am a man with mana. From the time I was born, it was decided that I would be sold as a toy for aristocrats under the name Namgisa, so I learned simple swordsmanship and archery.”

“…….”

“I learned lightly to be a male knight, but at least I should be able to teach you how to hold a bow in the correct posture and shoot.”

Who am I?

Park Shin-woo, Korea’s top hunter, who had an S-class with a bow as his main weapon.

As it was me, at least I can be confident that I am the one who is more serious about bows than anyone else in this territory and can teach them well.

Along with that, the original owner of this body in the past also received various trainings to be sold as slaves that fit the tastes of nobles.

She’s definitely been trained in her archery, so you’ll have to let her know with her teeth.

Because the conditions are perfect for seducing Shione.

Now it’s time to drive a solid wedge.

“If you’re worried about being laughed at by others, don’t worry. It’s difficult if you can’t see the target because it’s dark, so you can leave around dawn and come back before the others arrive. I’ll wake you up when the time is right.”

“Yes, hahahaha.”

Shione laughed as if it were absurd.

I just kept my mouth shut and waited for Shione who let out a helpless laugh.

“You will teach me the bow. Can you take responsibility for that?”

“Of course.”

“Well, I wonder where that confidence comes from. It’s been a while since I’ve heard an interesting story. Then stop talking nonsense and go out.”

Trembling.

Shione got up and went back to bed.

I turned her body towards her.

The strength of the wedge I had was insufficient.

If it’s not now, I don’t think I’ll ever have an opportunity like this again.

Should I just close my eyes and gamble? ?

As soon as she had her thoughts, this well-behaved muzzle could not stand it and licked her mouth.

“Would you believe me if I risked everything I had?”

Her steps stopped right in front of her bed.

Shione turned her half way and looked back at me.

Again, her astonished expression hung over her.

“You’re going to bet everything you have on a pig like this, even though it’s obvious that you’ll only have a small salary and your body.”

It feels like I was hit in the head with an unexpected cool expression.

All in all, calling yourself a pig?

If she hastily agreed with her words, wouldn’t she agree with me openly that I see her as her piglet?

I hesitated for a moment before answering.

“…Yes, it is.”

“Why do you want to cling to me so much?”

It’s the reason why they stick around-

Her words reminded me of Shione, who had been blaming herself until just now, and how she had been able to listen to Shion’s words during the day and calmly let go of her anger.

Listening to her complaints now, she didn’t like the appearance of Shione, who was helplessly and openly ignored at that time, no, a little too much.

Although I was afraid of failing the quest, I wanted to at least fix her lethargy with the only talent I had.

I was disturbed and said that while shaking her shoulder.

On the first day, I couldn’t eat much, so I was impatient.

It’s funny to appeal that he was a villain with a story.

I don’t want to see myself lamenting like that in a room alone in the future.

Since you are reluctant to just turn away, it is irresistible.

“There is no servant who enjoys being ignored by his master. If there were to be any…it would be only those who have already turned their hearts to others.”

“…….”

“I will not laugh at you.”

Shione took her steps again without answering.

Waddling.

Fluff.

Sione sat down on my bed.

She contemplated like that for a while, unlike usual, without laying her body right in her place.

I was able to recognize all of her thoughts and worries dozens of times by her ever-changing expression.

Knowing that she needed time to sort her thoughts out on her own, I quietly waited for her answer.

After a while, the deep shadow disappeared and Shione’s head came up.

“I have to get ready to go out, so wake me up before dawn.”

“That word.”

“I will accept the bet you said.”

Quietly, as I looked at Sione, she added her words in a low voice.

“…This will be the first and last time I’ll listen to your request, so know that.”

It’s not like you’re ashamed of yourself now that you’ve shown all the hardships.

I wonder if Shione is an unexpectedly colorful person.

“Thank you.”

For now, I just quietly express my gratitude.
