12 2 Fetal Moving [Darkness]

Me and Shea continued our journey.

─ ─ The murder of the Grand Duke of Liot, the grand nobleman of the Kingdom of Shardy, has been a case of rocking the country.

Right now, we're looking for the killer by naming the country.

But so far, the killer is unknown.

Neither me nor Shea wore a hood deep in their eyes and hid their faces in a mask, so no one saw their faces.

Nevertheless, it is dangerous to sit in the Kingdom of Shardy forever.

We entered the kingdom of Larva, our neighbor, and we were going down the street.

This is a kingdom where the faith of the goddess of healing (Larva) flourishes, as the name suggests.

The temples of the Ralva denomination are everywhere, and Irina is in this country, as one of the high priests after the High Priest.

That commemorative ceremony and parade will soon take place in the story of becoming the Supreme Priest soon.

That's what I was after.

Enter the King's City, the parade path, and take revenge on Irina...

However, my legs are quite weak, making it a slow pace journey.

I sometimes use carriages, but I don't feel comfortable with roadblocks.

Even adventurers make money temporarily.

I don't want to go out in public too much because of the Liot thing.

The journey, which combines walking and carriage, is already five days.

Is it three to four days to the Wang capital?

The ceremony is in a week, so it'll be in time enough.

"Dear Virgin Irina - I've seen it from afar once, but you seemed so beautiful and kind."

Shea speaking with a lucid look.

Two-sided up bright red hair caught on to the wind.

There seems to be strong wind around here.

"... well, the outside is nice"

I ironically distorted the edge of my mouth.

"Shh, excuse me"

Shea that will have a hazy face.

"I'm not blaming you. More than that, can I ask you one thing?

I asked Shea.

"How does it feel to take revenge?

It was a half-onset question.

I wasn't sure myself why I heard that.

Are you coming to a country where Irina is and feeling high?

Or did you think if you knew her answer, you'd see my way forward?

"... I am"

Shea took a slight breath and shook her neck left and right.

"I haven't organized my feelings yet."

Squeeze your mouth tight.

I lost my blood from my flowery lips, and I was shaking.

"I have the feeling my chest grip has gone down. But from now on - can I make a positive move in my life? Or has hatred, sadness, and suffering always remained dull, now... yet"

"Right."

I breathed small.

Five more to avenge.

I wonder how I feel when I've done it all.

At night we went wild in the woods a little further from the streets.

I don't mind the inn in town, but I saved money because I can't afford the road bank so much.

Normally a wild lodge in a place like this has to be alert to bandits, monsters, etc.

But I have EX skills [fixed damage], so I didn't have to worry about it.

This skill first deals' 9999 damage 'the moment the target person enters my perimeter within 10 meters.

After that, it means it will continue to do '9999 damage' even more every three seconds.

The point is, any enemy that enters my perimeter within ten meters will die instantly at that point.

Unless, of course, you have over 1,000 HP, but that would only be about as likely as Demon King or a nearby class.

Shea told me not to stay more than ten meters away from me.

"Wild Inn alone with a man, but well bear with me"

"I followed you on my own. Don't take care of Master Chrome."

Tell me, Shea looked at me.

"Um... could you possibly want my body?

Unexpectedly, it seemed like an unexpected word.

"... and all of a sudden I wonder what to say"

"I thought that was the intention of Nojuku alone on purpose."

"I told you it was just a savings."

"Because my sister taught me that all men are queer things."

Even when we first met, you said that.

"No way, you're still on guard for me, aren't you?

I saw Shea unexpectedly with my jitsu eyes.

"Excuse me, sir."

She smiled with a pranky look.

"You're past the joke"

"No, it's okay if you're joking"

Say, I shrugged my shoulder small.

I'm sure this is the original Shea look.

When we first met, we should have stuck to the limit with vengeance against Liot.

With it fulfilled, are we returning to the vegetables one by one?

"Maybe it's a good thing you can say it lightly now."

"hehe, thank you"

Shea smiling again.

Yes, she's still young, and hopefully that way she'll regain some serenity.

I don't think I can get that kind of emotion back.

No, maybe... maybe someday I'll have a day like that?

Now, I don't know anything yet.

"It's time to go to sleep"

"Yes, Master Chrome"

We'll line up our sleeping bags and lie down.

The tiredness of walking all day invites a comfortable sleeper.

How long have I been asleep and...

"Do you... Chrome, do you hear...?

My voice, I did.

"Hmm...?

Surprisingly, wake yourself up.

Not in the woods.

I was on a hilltop.

Countless grave markers stand on one side of the perimeter.

To the other side of the horizon, extended.

"What, is this...!?"

I glanced around.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I can't forgive you. Loosen up. No, no, no...!

Out of nowhere, I could hear pain and resentment.

That's not one or two either.

Hundreds and tens of millions - or more.

Filled with negative thoughts, space.

"Can you hear me, Chrome..."

Now I heard my voice clearly.

It was a familiar voice somewhere.

When I wonder if something has swayed in front of me, a shadow comes to mind.

The slender silhouette is pitch-black and I don't even know what she looks like.

Is it a woman based on her shape?

Long dark hair winds up to your feet.

"Seems like we're still getting so close... it's going to take a little longer..."

Mysterious Woman (?) said.

Then the noise goes off.

I saw a long chain wrapped around the tip of my right hand.

"But we're almost there... we'll see you soon... Chrome..."

"Who are you..."

"I'm..."

I couldn't hear the name she gave me.

"Sooner or later, when..."

Along with the inclusive laughter, the pitch-black silhouette disappeared.

What the hell was that?

While I wonder, I realize haha.

If I thought my voice sounded familiar earlier, it was a voice I knew well.

For some reason my head blurred and I was delayed in realizing that.

Even though it's a voice I know very well.

He said it was a voice he'd heard more than once for two years.

Yes, women's voices were heard when they acquired EX skills [fixed damage] or when using them.

[Darkness] 's, voice.

"Ugh..."

I slowly woke up.

Was that a dream earlier?

Next door Shea was resting in peace.
