18 – Episode 16: You f*cking Raceist? – 3

If you think about it, nothing is more optimized for bullying others than power.

That doesn’t mean that power is bad.

Of course, if you use your power well, you can earn respect from others, but most humans can’t do that.

Me too.

Consideration is limited to those whom I acknowledge, and those who do not belong to it are insignificant.

Even if it’s a joke, just endure it with evil.

No one can resist the power of overwhelming power. In this era, if you do not conform to it, you will be weeded out as a providence and an immutable law.

If you still don’t like it, you can think of a word that penetrates the era.

If I twist it, will it rise higher than me?

The terrible hot and humid climate of the Great Forest, where the sunlight burned their backs, made everyone suffer.

What’s even more terrible is that we are enduring the sunlight and experiencing untimely forced labor.

I wondered if this place, where women and men were asked to do harsh work without distinction, would be the place of true equality that everyone had dreamed of.

The problem was that it wasn’t utopia, it was dystopia.

“Oh, you guys are so slow. How long will you do it all?”

As long as the Dark Elf was monitoring this place, he spoke bluntly, and we continued our work without saying anything.

That f*cking bastard just stands still and talks a lot. I really want to lose.

I was picking the leaves of an unknown plant all day long in a vast field. Listening to the conversations of the Dark Elves, it seemed that this was their main source of income.

I had a rough idea of what it was for, but I didn’t dig deeper.

Sometimes it is better not to know than to know.

It doesn’t seem like a good plant at first glance, so I pretended not to know and kept harvesting the leaves.

“Hey, Terune. I’m going to close my eyes for a while and come back, so until then, you guys are taking good care of these bastards. If I can’t fill my quota today, I won’t be able to eat, so I’ll take care of it.”

Then I heard a miraculous word.

It was an opportunity to take a short break.

“Leave it to me! Terun will do well!”

I bowed my back at 90 degrees and thanked him.

The voice is lively, and the expression always has a smile.

It can be said that it is the basis of social life.

Also, as many people have said, half of the problems that occur in social life can be prevented with awareness.

If you have the right skills and insight, you won’t hear too much bitterness in interpersonal relationships or at work.

Two days ago, since I became Terun in Ju-hyeok, for some reason I had been getting credit in the village.

The village of the Dark Elves, called the Shadow Village because it is said to be hidden behind the shadow of the World Tree, was very rough and formidable.

“Hey Kamp! It’s a big deal!”

“What’s up. kamp? Did your girlfriend become the food of the world tree by any chance?”

Regardless of whether they were children or old people, they lived with the word ‘Kamp’ at the end of their words. Kampf is the compound word that everyone expects.

Of course, it is a word that can only be used by themselves, and on the day we say the first letter of the word, several necks will be displayed in the town square that day.

“Damn it, that bastard… Fermi is very difficult, isn’t it?”

“I’m fine… Kevin has been helping me all along.”

“I’m sorry… If only I had the strength, Mr. Fermi wouldn’t have to suffer like this…”

“No… I’m more sorry… there’s nothing I can do…”

Seeing that the elf watching us had disappeared far away, Kevin threw down his farm equipment and said, Fermi and Kevin were exchanging stories while looking at each other with affectionate eyes.

Are you f*cking crazy bastards?

As if it was a romance of the century that transcended hardship and adversity, the two of them were shaking at all costs.

I usually just skipped over it, but now it was on the verge of bursting into flames.

‘Okay…let’s just move on…’

I shook my head.

Still, he forced himself to do it, but isn’t he able to worry about his lover?

It was uncomfortable to watch, but not to the point that I couldn’t understand it.

“Shut… is it okay if I take a break…? My head is dizzy…”

After two days, Kyoko asked me with a drastically haggard face.

Well, since she was a little thinner than normal from the beginning, such high intensity work must have been difficult.

“It’s okay, so take a break. Let’s do it again in 10 minutes.”

I just want to tell them not to do it, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it because everyone would have to starve if the quota was not met.

With a happy expression on her face, Kyoko went to the shade of the tree and sat down with her back.

I worked for 5 hours non-stop from dawn until now, but it hurt my heart to see him so happy with only 10 minutes of rest.

“I only take a 10-minute break. I will be watching.”

I quietly conveyed my words to everyone, put down the agricultural implements in my hands, and everyone sat down and wiped away sweat.

“Lin, why is that? Where are you hurt?”

However, Rin’s condition was a little strange.

I had seen him fiddling with his fingers from time to time, but I didn’t think it was a big deal.

However, when he saw Rin holding his fingers and looking uncomfortable, he realized that something was wrong.

“It’s nothing… It’s okay if you don’t mind.”

It’s just a lie to look at.

Thinking so, I grabbed her wrist and pulled it slightly forward to check the condition of her hand.

As expected, there was a deep cut near her index finger. Looking at her bleeding fingers, I sighed.

“Does it mean that it’s okay to not care even if you see these wounds?”

“If you’re a big country person, you’re going to have to hurt yourself like this…”

“That’s Okay. Stay still, just.”

I couldn’t cover the wound as it should, so I tore off the cloth top and tied her fingers.

“It’s not a very clean cloth, but it’s better than nothing.”

“It’s embarrassing. It’s like getting help from a small country…”

Lin hung her head.

At times, Rin had a very foolish side. It would be great if you weren’t obsessed with that great country.

I got up from her and looked around.

In the meantime, I found Raymond hanging out in the shade under the shade and quickly headed towards him.

“Wait, Mr. Raymond, who told you that you could rest?”

“Joo Hyuk… what is that…”

“Get up and keep working. I don’t know who gave permission to rest now.”

I said to Raymond with a straight face.

“Okay…”

Raymond answered in a weak voice and continued picking leaves without a word. Kevin, who witnessed this, tried to stand up for a moment, but Velia stopped him and shook his head.

“Leave it alone. I must atone.”

Everyone present was ignoring Raymond and me.

“Raymond, can you do it a little faster?”

“Yeah, yeah… I’ll try…”

I put my arm around Raymond’s shoulder and whispered to him. Overcome by the mental pressure, Raymond stammered and nodded.

It’s a bit pitiful, but shouldn’t I pay the price for my mistakes?

Aside from the fact that I almost died, I almost put Rin in danger.

That’s why I’m going to go for at least a week like this.

Surely a real man can’t stand such a trivial thing.

If he twisted it, it would have been enough if he had raised his hand and voluntarily went out saying that he had done it.

If you are dissatisfied with this treatment, then you will be completely defeated by the power of ‘Terun’.

Little by little I was letting go of the anger I felt the night before.

“Wow, humans are so scary. All the ghost stories about the world tree were a piece of shit…”

“Hite! Be careful not to get caught by him! He’s still small, but he’s a man who took power in the village in just two days! Certainly not a normal man!”

“Well! Keina is right. We need to be careful.”

The high elves were also taking a break and whispering.

I didn’t care and looked around to see if anyone was coming.

And after about 10 minutes, everyone went back to slave mode and started wasting their labor.

In the meantime, someone spoke up.

He was the chief of the village introduced yesterday.

It was definitely the man who made me feel like a f*ck yesterday by looking me up and down to the point of feeling bad.

“Hey Terune.”

“Yes Yes! Chieftain!”

“Oh, you have a lot of trouble. Is there anything difficult?”

“sure. very nice to work with! Good job!”

A f*cking baby.

How can you ask so shamelessly if there is anything difficult? Then it’s f*cking hard, isn’t it?

But apart from that thought, a smile did not disappear from my lips. Habits that have been hardened by years of working life are not so easily broken.

“I really like the color of your hair. Well, he’s trustworthy for a human being. This is different from other slaves, so I can sleep comfortably even if I entrust the work.”

“Thank you for the compliment. It is an undeserved word for me, but I will work hard in the future.”

“By the way, Terun. Can I ask you something?”

“Yep! Ask anything! I will answer anything I can answer!”

The chief with a satisfied smile went on.

“I have a daughter…”

I could feel it viscerally.

Creature instinct was predicting that this was going to suck.

“I’m not old enough. Are you 80 years old? It’s still in its prime. But maybe because I grew up so precious, I haven’t gotten married yet. So, as long as our Terun is good… ”

please no

please tell me it’s not what i think

I’m begging you, so please…

No way… I’ve only been here for two days.

No way the chieftain, the father of a family, would not recommend such a suspicious person, or even a man of another tribe.

Above all, now I am a slave.

There is no one in the world who recommends such words to a slave.

please don’t have to

“Are you thinking of getting married?”

I felt like losing my mind.

I never dreamed that I would pay such a price for being given the name ‘Terun’.

f*ck…
