124 – symbol-2

“No matter how much I think about it, this topography doesn’t make sense…”

From the time the land was submerged, you may have had to notice that something was a little strange.

It was good even when the sun was shining. It wasn’t bad until the warm light melted away the remaining moisture in the carriage and body.

However, the land that came out after the huge water had subsided was incomparable to the entrance that was covered with grass, even if it was shallow.

“It’s a wasteland.”

It was unbelievable that it had rained just a moment ago, and it was a barren land. The land cracked open, showing no sign of life.

“How much you moved on the water… That shield seems to have been acting as a boat of sorts, Enerel.”

However, even taking that into account, this change was strange.

I looked back, but there was no result other than that I could understand Enerel’s words.

Based on a certain starting point, the field of view was blocked. As if he would not show what was in front of him.

“Yes, got it!”

“yes?”

Celia looked somewhere and shouted. Farseer hastily covered her mouth.

“What’s going on?”

Celia’s complexion turned pale when she realized Farseer was looking in my direction.

“Nothing happened! I-I think it would be better to set up a tent and rest here for now. The horse is tired.”

She was right. We, who were inside, were also exhausted, but the fatigue of the horses floating in the air in the pouring downpour would be beyond imagination.

Eleanor set up the tent, and Ceres started preparing the cooking utensils.

it was all i did After the demon lord was over, no one would allow me to do something like that.

“I should have collected the rainwater.

Careful not to let dust touch the stiff maid uniform, Ceres built a fire under the pot of stew.

Six people sat in a circle, portioning the stew into small bowls and spoons. The bread was tough, but it was still edible.

Eleanor was eating without much thought, and the stew seemed a bit salty to Celia. Farseer seemed to be thinking about something while eating…

‘under.’

It was a habit that had already hardened. Couldn’t fix it.

Taking care of their eyes was something I absolutely had to do when I was in the most difficult and painful times.

When Eleanor’s expression is hardened, you must be prepared. The sparring after the meal would be even more painful.

At first, there were times when I thought it was simply because she was in a bad mood, but later I found out it wasn’t.

Her face hardened when she was disappointed in the battle she had fought that day, or disappointed in my fight.

Thinking Farsi is harmless. There were times when he bothered me to brag about something, but he didn’t try to do anything more.

In fact, Nerwen was the most dangerous because, unlike other girls who didn’t give a damn while eating even if they had a problem, she always jumped and got angry whenever she smelled something unpleasant.

Still, I didn’t tell them to wash during meals, but they often told me to eat farther away from each other.

It is a memory that cannot be erased. However, you don’t need to worry any more. You might as well not waste time and have another piece of stew or something.

But I unconsciously looked at Nerwen. And, our eyes met.

“Well?”

she got up Leaving her bowl in place, she cautiously walked in front of me.

My hands and feet trembled with slight fear and great anger. If she crosses the line even a little bit, I won’t be patient.

“Oh, do it.”

But her actions were beyond my imagination.

I thought there was no reason for Nerwen to quarrel, but it’s because you don’t know what will happen to people’s hearts.

Still, I didn’t expect this. Because there was no reason or situation to do this.

“What?”

When I asked, Nerwen’s face was stained with shame.

“That’s… to feed them.”

It was a rare sight to see an elf stutter.

“why?”

“I heard it’s a way to relieve a man when he’s in a bad mood…”

“Who told you that?”

“Jennie…”

It wasn’t just me who was taken aback, it was clear that the others were also taken aback.

Farseer, who had come to his senses earlier, stopped Nerwen with an awkward smile.

“Nerwen? That’s what humans do to the opposite s*x they care about. It has s*xual nuances in it.”

“s*xual? This is a s*xual act? But nothing to do with s*xual desire…”

I frowned and shot at Nerwen, who was still holding the spoon.

“You’re not completely ignorant of humans, are you?”

“Ha, but this isn’t like the… kind of, lascivious behavior I know. Wasn’t it more rough and coercive, or something like… paying for it?”

oh I was able to understand a little bit.

It is unusual for elves and humans to bond. It was something that Nerwen, who had been educated among elves and acted as an adventurer, could not have known about it.

“It seems like a man crushing a woman to satisfy his desire, but it’s far from that kind of thing…”

Farseer let out a deep sigh.

“Women do have s*xual desires, and humans tend to add intimacy and s*xual meaning to many actions… much more than elves think.”

Nerwen shuddered.

“No, didn’t you just blush too?”

“That’s… just a shame! Doing this to a healthy person is when the difference in status between the two is so great. It’s what I have to do when I’m the only one who serves…”

Nerwen, biting his lip, paused for a moment. But soon, as if he had made up his mind, he pushed the spoon back into my mouth.

“I wonder if this is what Jenny meant. But, that’s good. Even if you can satisfy your s*xual desire with this, the work I have to do won’t change. A body that was once saved by you. I won’t be bound by this much work.”

“What?”

“Ah… do it.”

“I think the Farseer explanation was lacking. First of all, this is more of an act of affirmation of intimacy than a s*xual nuance. And, humans generally don’t feel… s*xual desire for those who hate them.”

Objectively, it’s a pretty exciting situation. Nerwen is an elf. A being designed just to be beautiful.

Even a woman who has undergone dozens or hundreds of cosmetic surgeries without side effects will not be more beautiful than her. It is an appearance that has been passed down for thousands of years and is a collection of elven skills.

When I first saw her, I didn’t get angry even if I received her dirty personality and anger.

But, now I’m too used to it. Nerwen’s appearance no longer surprised me, and the void was filled by her actions.

“Doesn’t it mean you don’t feel that way toward people you hate? But from what I’ve learned, you can satisfy the sense of conquest by forcibly crushing the people you hate…”

Anger rose to the top of his head. I had been trying to calm her down just a moment ago, but I lost my temper in an instant.

“Don’t treat that human as the same as me!”

I jumped up and looked at her and shouted. For a moment I was looking down at her, as she had bent down to feed me stew.

But, am I really a different person from them?

I clenched my teeth, sat back down, and opened my mouth to swallow the stew on the spoon.

it was yummy. I ate salty and greasy stew in a hungry situation, so I couldn’t have tasted it.

“It’s nothing. It’s just this much.”

I roughly snatched my spoon from Nerwen’s hand and continued my meal without incident.

“I’m sorry. I sincerely apologize for trying to judge you with my short knowledge.”

“Don’t talk nonsense and eat.”

Nerwen sat back in her seat and spoke in a calmer voice.

“But I mean it. My life has only you left. Whoever you are, I will live for you. No matter what the cost.”

I couldn’t believe the words of Nerwen, who ordered me to wash again and again.

“You’d better find a new target.”

never thought about it When a party of warriors followed me, I had no time to understand why they were following me.

There was nothing I could do but suppress the rising trauma and watch and worry that one of them might betray me.

However, I thought about it even then, but their behavior is strange. heterogeneous

That they have sinned against me is an unchanging fact. However, if there were people willing to admit that they had sinned and move to pay for it, half of the conflicts in the world would be reduced.

He didn’t know what to do in the basement of the imperial palace. To be precise, I couldn’t help but doubt the sincerity. I was strong then, and it was a situation where I had to calm myself down right away.

However, there was no reason for Farseer, Eleanor, or Celia to join me while I was fighting the Orc Lord.

Nerwen had no reason to stay here right now. All of the restrictions that restrained her are gone, and apart from my being a warrior, if she runs away at night, I will never be able to catch up or find her.

No answer came out. Maybe, I just didn’t want to admit it.
