060 – School tuition is more expensive than you think! #11

It was a moonlit night.

It was a night when even the sky that dropped meteors like rain was clear.

I ran like an arrow shot through the earth.

My top speed, which reached 20 agility, was enough to run through a frozen world as if the world had stopped.

I still thought of myself as slow.

“… Ugh.”

At that moment, the woman who was being held by me frowned.

It looked like he was seriously injured as he coughed up blood.

In fact, Salome’s shoulder and stomach had stab wounds.

I tore off my clothes and wrapped them around the affected area, but there was no way to stop the bleeding with that.

Jack’s dagger must have been deeply embedded.

Even if Jack’s level was high, he wouldn’t have been at the level where Salome would be defeated so one-sidedly?

No, now is not the time to argue about that.

Even without that, Salome’s face, which was on the white side, turned blue due to a large amount of blood loss.

He couldn’t say anything anymore and said “Ugh” or “Uh… .” All he could do was groan.

“You, hold on to your mind. If you stay like this you will really die. Be patient a little longer. I’ll take you to the mechanic.”

I continued to talk to Salome to keep her spirit attached to her body.

How long had it been like that?

When I was running up a high hill, Salome opened her eyes and said to me.

“… drop me off.”

“You want me down?”

“Quickly.”

pat-.

I didn’t even have to put it down, as Salome bounced off me.

He seemed to get himself into a position, but then, like a newborn deer, he lost his balance and trembled and collapsed on the floor.

“Hey.”

“Don’t touch me.”

When I tried to touch her, Salome overreacted.

It felt like giving up on a lot.

“Salome, are you going to die like this?”

“… … .”

“You said you were going to get your name back from me. If you die like this, you won’t be able to get your father’s name back from me, right? Are you okay?”

“Enough now. Like my father… .”

“What?”

“I heard father… Herod, what the man was trying to do… .”

is it.

I thought I knew roughly why Salome had given up on life.

I think I heard a lot from a guy named Jack.

After handing the children over to Ilgast the drug dealer, I had a foreboding feeling and ran quickly to where the steps led me.

Soon I found Salome fighting Jack, and from the moment I saw her, Salome was stabbed in the stomach and was dying.

said Salome.

“Judas, tell me the truth. That night. what my father did with you. will die anyway On the way… I want you to tell me the truth.”

Shuk-.

Salome sat on her back on a nearby rock.

The moonlight shone on his face, but there was no blood on his body.

It felt like his life was running out.

How many minutes can I live in the future?

“To think that the man I thought of as my father’s affection, goodwill, all of that was a lie after all. Jack said I heard that my father killed his children and tried to get his hands on the vessel through his evil deeds.”

“It was a lie. Even so, can a person do that? A guy named Jack lied to you to shake your mind. I didn’t expect you, who doubts everything, to believe that.”

I briefly edited the story.

Then Salome spat bloody spit on the floor and frowned.

“You’re probably lying. Judas, I’ve told you time and time again that your lies are clumsy. What did you learn from me?”

“… … .”

“Still, your performance that night was the best. That’s right, it’s to the point that I was fooled. I really… .”

Salome tried to say something, but kept her mouth shut.

Then, after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth again with difficulty.

“Why didn’t you tell the truth? My father tried to strangle me on the night of my 19th birthday. If I told you the truth… . i you… I wouldn’t have hated you.”

“If you did, you wouldn’t have hated your father.”

“… … .”

I realized that Herod was about to kill his own daughter.

Because he noticed that he had been killing his own daughters and sons to accumulate his own evil.

Salome was destined to be like that too.

A girl whose father she loved the most died on the day she was born.

The sense of betrayal felt by the daughter and the sense of immorality felt by the father must have been good food for the false god Nocturne.

But that didn’t happen.

Instead, a new Judas was born.

of course.

I didn’t tell the truth about all of this.

Because he didn’t want to steal even the happy memories of his father from Salome.

If I had asked the secret alone, Herod would have remained a good father to Salome.

Although he is called a villain in the world, he is kind and warm to his only daughter… .

family.

that’s really good

Especially in this heartless world Pangea where there is no one to trust in the world.

As much as my family, they should be on my side no matter what the circumstances——I thought so.

I will always be by your family’s side no matter what the circumstances.

however.

Salome is almost betrayed by the family she trusted the most.

Then he was like an ‘orphan’.

An orphan left alone in this heartless gray world.

I knew better than anyone the loneliness and solitude of being left alone in this world without family or friends, so I didn’t want to let Salome suffer like that.

“That’s why you killed everyone in the wild in Kowloon. To get rid of those who knew the truth about Herod. Turning the world into an enemy… . Why, for me, so far… ?”

Salome asked quietly.

I answered truthfully.

“Because I loved you. Although there were many reasons, it was you, Tamar, who did me the first favor in this world.”

At that time, I was fine on the outside but dying on the inside.

It was Salome, then Tamar, who cut off my bitter distrust and solitude.

Even though he approached me for some reason.

“… As expected, on that day, I must have left the living quarters with you and ran away.”

Salome laughed lightly.

It was a somewhat self-deprecating laugh.

I said lightly.

“You can go anywhere right now. There is no living room that was your prison. you don’t have your father You just have to go where you want to go and live the life you want to do.”

“It’s where I want to go… . And then… I think I said something like that back then too. The night you confessed to me At that time, I said I wanted to go to school.”

“Is it so?”

“Yeah, you said you would take me to school. After all, I should have just left with you that day. But maybe it’s too late now… .”

“No, it’s not too late.”

“It’s not too late… ?”

It seemed that Salome’s life was not far away.

The boy’s breathing becomes weaker and weaker.

“Hey. If it’s not too late… . Won’t you go away with me right now? to a place no one is looking for. To a remote island or mountain where no one knows our face… .”

Salome told me.

2 years time.

A story that goes beyond that and comes back again.

It was a truly tempting proposition.

It was also a story I really wanted to hear.

If I had heard this story two years ago, my heart would have swelled as if I had become the king of the world, and I would have felt good even without eating for several days.

But I have only one answer.

“I-”

“… Please, even if it’s an obvious lie, just tell me you understand.”

“I can’t go.”

“… why.”

Salome turned pale and began to weep.

Her memories with her father were also painted over with black ink, and her vengeance toward me was burned like black charcoal, and it seemed that only sadness was left for Salome.

however.

I couldn’t nod my head at Salome’s story, even if it was a lie.

A few months ago, at least if it was then, I would have happily nodded.

I’ll just find out.

that I have a daughter

“I have Naru and Cecily. I have my wives too. So Salome, I can’t leave with you. It’s not because I hate you or hate you. just, just… .”

It was a feeling that was difficult to explain.

For me, who has been through so many things, this was the first time.

Only, as long as the little eyes called me daddy, I couldn’t escape the days of talking about what I had a dream every morning and what happened at school after school.

“Naru… Even so, Cecily?”

Salome frowned as if she couldn’t understand.

under the moonlight.

confession and rejection.

The emotions it shakes make my heart true.

“Naru and Cecily are my daughters. Cecily’s mom is probably Garot, and I don’t know who Naru’s mom is yet. It’s hard to explain in detail, but my daughters are from the future at least six years later.”

“… lie.”

“I thought so too.”

“I’d rather lie. Being rejected like this is the worst. What nonsense are you talking about? Say you hate me.”

Salome started to weep profusely.

I wiped my eyes with the palm of my hand, but no matter how much I wiped, my face was already covered with tears.

“On that day, we should have left together. that day… .”

I had felt it before, but the woman’s tears stabbed my heart sharper than any dagger.

My heart hurts just looking at it.

I feel very guilty.

however.

Even if it was a lie, I couldn’t accept Salome’s confession to go somewhere.

I must have been more of a father in my own way than I thought of myself.

Although.

Although he is the one who is called the villain more than anyone else.

But seeing Salome die on the cold stone floor like this didn’t feel comfortable.

The woman who was once my first love.

And the first teacher who made me a decent thief in this world.

Salome has something to repay.

“Salome, let me ask you one question. What is your real name?”

“… Salome. Salome, daughter of Herodias… .”

“Is it true?”

Salome was her real name.

I felt strange in many ways.

A thief operating under his real name?

Of course I thought it was a pseudonym.

But that’s not what’s important right now.

“From now on, keep what I do a secret from everyone. There are a lot of noisy people.”

I pulled out my dagger.

After cutting his palm deeply with it, he deliberately shed blood.

Charleur-.

The blood drips on Salome’s head.

Salome asked as she was bathed in red drops of blood.

“What are you doing now… .”

“The false gods, Demiurges, can choose people and turn them into warriors or shamans. Their choices sometimes lead to superhuman or surreal powers.”

“… Daejeon Ambassador?”

“I don’t know how to bring the dead back to life, but it is possible to heal a dying person. Just in time, I have a good relationship with you, Salome. For the blood of Judah that runs through you draws together the blasphemies of the night.”

“… What do you want to say now?”

“I mean, this is what it means. I will anoint you with blood and oil, Salome daughter of Herodias. live-. as a warrior. This will be your chain and your crown.”

“Now, wait-. what-.”

“Walk through the night and recite unclean prayers. Your day will turn black, and your spring will burn like the coals of winter. This is your blessing and at the same time your curse.”

I could feel the guilt boiling within me.

Does the experience level go up?

Damn it.

As she was swearing inwardly, Salome, covered in red blood, slowly raised herself.

His blood was returning, and the wounds on his stomach were healing.

Salome touched her belly in surprise.

and then asked me

“… What the hell are you right now… ?”

“I can’t say anything either. However, there is no debt owed to me by this.”

It was a very expensive class.

While thinking about that, I looked at my palm.

The wounds on my palms had already healed.
