127 – Aunt loves her nephew! # 4

“There are wolves! The tail is fluffy!”

Cecily looked at Jan-Orbolt and evaluated as above. It must have been the first time he had seen a werewolf, but he certainly had a fluffy tail.

Orbolt looked at Cecily and nodded his head admiringly, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen a human child.”

Cecily asked immediately.

“He has a fluffy tail but no horns or wings. Is this guy a devil too?”

It was a pretty reasonable question.

Garot said about it.

“All beings living in Pandaemonium are demons, no matter what they look like.”

It was quite the answer.

The devil actually did not refer to an outward appearance or race, but rather a word that meant nationality. Of course, Orbolt, the king of the forest, laughed as if he had heard an interesting story.

“From our point of view, you people in the outside world are no different from demons. You have killed many of our compatriots.”

“That’s because the demon king and you, his subordinates, started a war. You, too, have killed countless humans.”

“Yeah, that’s it. But this land is Cursed. We will rot if we don’t take or steal from others by even fighting a war.”

As Orbolt said, the land of Pandaemonium was too barren to grow crops.

The trees were bare and it didn’t even rain.

On the ground, it was a place where evil karma like black tar constantly creeps up and mutates living things, killing and killing each other to deprive each other of limited resources.

“We were forced to become demons.”

It was a werewolf who laughed and laughed.

Cecily giggled at that.

“It is not so. There is no such thing as the right to steal from others just because you were born in a difficult place and grew up in a difficult place.”

right theory.

Cecily seemed to have received a good education in school or from her grandparents. Because the words “I committed a crime because of difficult circumstances” are actually just an excuse.

Even in the midst of difficulties, there were definitely a lot of people who worked hard to find the right solution, and that was the right thing to do.

The werewolf Orbolt also meekly acknowledged, “You’re right, kid.”

Then he added a word.

“But for that, the misfortune of those of us who were born on this land was particularly dire. Everyone hold your breath and look at that.”

Orbolt broke through the bushes with his hands, killing as much presence as possible. Then, beyond the bushes where space was created, something strange was seen.

It was like a lump of filth made of black mud. Like the slime, its size was not constant, but something like that attacked the rabbit at night.

-Ki-it-!

The slime seeped into the rabbit’s ears, nose and mouth and took over its body. The rabbit tossed and turned for a while, then staggered along, bending its front and hind legs eccentrically.

ㅡKiaaak-!

Cecily asked, thinking that the roar was very terrible.

“My God, what is that? I think I took the rabbit’s body!”

“It is a fragment of evil. It’s like a curse that eats away at this land. If the body is taken away, it is the end. There’s a lot of that in Pandaemonium. look There are so many of them.”

Where the werewolf’s sharp claws pointed, there were really a lot of slime like the one before. It was even under our feet.

“… hehehehe!”

Embarrassed Cecily.

The werewolf stomped his foot calmly and trampled the slime to burst it.

iron-.

– Kkeok!

It burst like a water balloon and died.

Cecily asked, exhaling a sigh of relief.

“If these hideous creatures are a problem, can’t we just get rid of them all?”

“Yes, you are a smart kid. But what if it doesn’t go away? What if it constantly rises from the ground? These appear endlessly. It has gotten worse these days.”

“Why?”

“It can be said that this land has karma. This land was originally the territory of an ancient kingdom that was brilliant. However, it was destroyed in one day. I did something I shouldn’t have done. They are all cursed.”

Saying that, the wolf Orbolt stopped walking.

Then he picked up the thorn bush again with his hands.

Passeuk-.

At last the high moon and the black pond in which it was reflected were visible before us.

“Childrake likes to roam around here. But at least once an hour I drink from this black pond. If you wait, he will come.”

Right.

Orbolt, the werewolf, had a fluffy personality as much as his fluffy fur. Most of the demons I knew were horrible.

“Why are you helping us?”

I couldn’t help but ask a question out of curiosity.

To that, Orbolt answered lightly.

“I told you. we are not stupid If you attack the one who defeated the demon king, you will die. I don’t want you to cause trouble in this forest either. So I have no choice but to help.”

Right.

Is this a reasonable choice?

It seemed that he intended to get me out of the woods by quickly getting things done.

At that time, Astarosa, who had been quietly listening to the story from earlier, clicked his tongue and growled.

“Like a cowardly renegade. It wags its tail like a dog even though the devil’s enemy is right in front of you.”

“yes. because i want to live That’s it. Actually, that’s why we followed Demon Lord Sabrenak, right? Because I wanted to live. Because he promised us life. But the king is dead.”

It seems that the residents of Pandaemonium also have deep circumstances in many ways.

Of course, it was me.

10 minutes.

20 minutes.

30 minutes… .

Cecily von Regdoll yawned at the long wait.

Naru and Hina, who are sisters, must be sleeping in bed right now.

‘Can I go to school safely tomorrow?’

When I dozed off thinking about that…

Someone pricked Cecily’s side with a finger.

It was Astarosa.

“What is it?”

“Soon, children’s lakes will appear around here. Now listen carefully, as we have to leave the 1km radius away.”

“… … .”

“Childrakes are by no means easy creatures. It’s best to take them down undetected if possible. The slingshot you have is enough to knock it down, so it’s okay.”

slingshot.

Cecily felt the weight of the slingshot in her hand once again.

“Shoot the children’s rake and hit it.

And go back to the warm bed.”

It was a simple task.

However, Astarosa’s explanation continued.

“The problem is if he finds out about you. Then don’t look back and run away. Because there is no other way to survive. Take care, kid.”

“I see.”

“But there are times when you can’t escape. In that case, try to talk as much as possible. Childrake likes to talk, so he should be able to get his nerves around in no time. I especially like the word friend.”

“friend?”

“Yes, but keep in mind that using the word friend is the last resort. Also, be sure to cut off your breath.”

Astarosa gave several tips based on her own experience.

Cecily put the stories from just before into her head, then clenched her fists and opened her eyes wide.

It felt like I was getting some sleep.

Just like that, the signs of Astarosa and the adults disappeared.

Now, when only Cecily was left, the grass over there rustled.

‘Looks like children have appeared!’

He loaded the slingshot with iron balls and pulled it tight.

‘If you come, come and see! I’m going to go back and wash up and go to sleep!’

It was difficult to match the wolves, but children’s lakes are plants.

Matching trees and blades of grass was a very easy task for Cecily.

Passeuk-.

Soon something appeared among the bushes.

It was the figure of a child with a large flower on his head hanging at an angle like a hat.

She seemed to be about the same age as Cecily, which surprised Cecily.

‘Is that a childdrake?’

I heard it’s a plant.

However, no matter how you look at it, that was not a plant, but a child of Cecily’s age!

If there is something unusual, is it that instead of clothes, something like leaves covers the body?

“Who is there?”

‘Ah, did you find out?’

Cecily felt cold sweat run down her forehead.

A flower-haired girl slowly approaches the bush she is hiding in.

The slingshot aimed at the guy’s forehead also began to tremble.

-Did you miss it? It’s a deduction.

-You must never reveal yourself.

A mother who scolded herself.

And as the voice of Astarosa, who had given her advice, passed through her head like an hallucination, Cecily finally closed her eyes tightly.

Pang-! Shuk-!

Something flew through the wind with the sound of the tension of the rubber band returning to its original state.

It’s perfect within! and bumped into

“Wow!!!”

hair stone-.

Cecily opened her eyes to the sound of a child falling to the floor screaming.

Cecily’s eyes caught the image of a flower-haired girl lying on the floor.

“… Lord, are you dead?”

The slingshot was strong.

It didn’t seem strange that he died because he hit his forehead with something like that.

Cecily felt complicated in many ways, but calmed her pounding heart as much as possible and emerged from the bush.

“… Ugh.”

“ah… You’re not dead!”

The flower-haired girl did not die-.

That fact made Cecily’s hair stand on end.

-Kill it for sure.

Astarosa’s voice rang in Cecily’s ears again.

He pulled the rubber band tight again toward the forehead of the defenseless girl who had collapsed, but the chestnut rabbit that Garot had caught earlier was superimposed on her face.

‘I have to take it down!’

Defeat the children and return home.

Cecily reminded herself of that fact over and over again.

However, Cecily’s slingshot never fired again.

“Take that away!”

The Childrake girl, who had woken up before she knew it, was grabbing Cecily’s hand and breaking it, her red eyes widening.

‘Muh, what power… !’

Cecily’s hand was twisted by the force, and she missed the slingshot.

In many ways, the situation was a big deal.

“city… Fuck!”

Cecily closed her eyes tightly and spat out a curse.

Then an amazing thing happened.

“Fuck? What do you mean?”

The strength of the grip that had been twisting his hand loosened.

When I opened my eyes, the girl with flowers in her hair was tilting her head.

“What the fuck do you mean?”

I don’t know what it was, but Cecily had to do something here to survive.

“tooth… friend!”

“friend?”

“… It means I want to be your friend!”
