“This is one of Count Jarl’s fiefdoms. “There’s been a strange rumor going around recently.”
I lit a fire in the fireplace inside and the three of us sat huddled together. Moroccanil continued speaking with a look on his face that said, ‘Why do I have to explain this to you?’
“They say people suddenly disappear one day.”
“Disappearing?”
“yes.”
As Morokhanil nodded, Dazar intervened.
“This happened not only in this village, but also in Viscount Sepin’s estate. However, the size of the village was so small that it was not widely known.”
“It’s the same this time too. As you can see, this town is very small. It’s quite far from the city. So even if a person disappeared, it was not easily known.”
I nodded as if I understood Morokanil’s explanation. Then, someone kidnaps people on purpose… … Remove it or… … Are you saying that’s the case?
As I was rolling my eyes, Dazar looked at me and said. Those eyes are very kind.
“Then, by chance, it was discovered by a resident who had escaped ‘that place.’ “The fact that people suddenly disappearing might be related to ‘Ruben’s followers.’”
“Wait a minute, Dazar. Its existence is confidential to the public.”
Morokhanil glared at Dazar with reproachful eyes. Dazar shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
“Hee-ah is okay.”
Moroccanil was furious.
“It’s okay. This person’s identity may actually be a follower of Ruben. No, it is a problem even if you are just an ordinary person. “There’s a reason why we’re secretly stopping ‘them’.”
That’s why they’re blocking it in secret. I felt like I knew something. Seeing two people fighting because of me makes me feel embarrassed. I said, scratching my cheek.
“Why Ruben’s followers are a secret… … To prevent chaos in the world, is it? Do not worry. “I have no intention of revealing anything about them anywhere.”
“… … !”
Moroccanil opened his eyes wide. He studied my expression and frowned.
“Do you already know about Ruben’s followers? It’s even more suspicious. “How do you know?”
hmm. That wasn’t what I was talking about.
I smiled awkwardly.
“Umm… … . Well, that… … .”
“I told you.”
At that time, Dazar blocked Moroccanil’s path. Thanks to this, Moroccanil’s face, which had been approaching me, moved away.
“So, if you’re going to book, why don’t you do it to me? “Don’t touch Hee-ah.”
“Dazar, you… … .”
Morokhanil made a puzzled face and swept up his hair. Perhaps because she is still a teenager, her unpleasant emotions flow from her entire body. In my world, Moroccanil had the image of an angel.
What on earth happened in the meantime?
I glanced at Dazar. He was casting ‘What should I do, my stomach’ with a grumpy expression.
After glancing at Moroccanil, who was furrowing his eyebrows even more at his confidence, I thought I knew.
‘Maybe I became an angel because of Dazar… … .’
I was thinking of a plausible hypothesis that I could become an Angel by accepting that personality, and then I came to my senses.
“then… … What were you planning to do here now?”
Two pairs of eyes turned to me at my words. Moroccanil answered first.
“I was planning to use it as bait and dig up this place. “I was wondering if it was really the work of Ruben’s followers, and if so, I was planning to eliminate them.”
“It’s just as Moroccanil said.”
Dazar nodded at Moroccanil’s words. Being bait?
“So you’re planning on being a target on purpose?”
hmm. I think he was planning on getting caught and escaping by pretending to be an ordinary person. I glanced at Dazar.
I said it as if I wanted to go out for a quick drink at night. It turns out that it was quite dangerous, right?
“yes. you’re right. “This is my family’s problem, so I’m going to be the target.”
Moroccanil made a save. They were fighting earlier, saying it was their family’s business.
I looked at Dazar, wondering if he was angry, and saw him twitching his eyebrows at Moroccanil’s words. But what he said was an unexpected sentence.
“okay. Then do it. “When I think about it, I don’t think I should leave Hee-ah’s side.”
“… … Is that true?”
“That’s right.”
Moroccanil looked blank for a moment. He looked back and forth between me and Dazar, then frowned as if he didn’t understand.
“Who the hell is this person?” … .”
He muttered softly, then shook his head and spoke.
“All right. Now, let’s take a look around this place. Don’t worry about any commotion, just rest here. “I don’t need your help.”
“… … Well, do whatever you want.”
Moroccanil said that and stormed out. Well, I haven’t even explained Cedric’s danger yet. While I was saying this, I don’t know why, but I was sitting on the sofa next to Dazar.
“Don’t worry about that guy. Hee-ah.”
“Still, will you be okay alone? “I think it might be a little dangerous.”
“No worries.”
“huh?”
I tilted my head when I heard a slightly pouty voice. What does it mean to say there is nothing to worry about?
Dazar pursed his lips.
“Don’t worry about anyone else but me. “Because I feel like I’m going to be grumpy.”
“uh… … uh?”
“Literally.”
Dazar said that and closed his eyes tightly. It was similar to a child trying not to let me know that he was upset, so it made me laugh.
what. It is a cute appearance that is difficult to see in an adult Dazar.
Are you jealous now? boy. However, when I meet my real lover later, I will regret how much I regret it now.
I said, trying hard to hold back laughter.
“Okay, okay. hmm… … Will you listen to my story? “Dazar.”
“… … What?”
The golden eyes that had been closed and full of grumpiness slowly opened.
Looking into his golden eyes, I began to tell him about Cedric’s danger. Dazar is cute because he is cute, but I had to let him know that this situation is very dangerous. The longer I spoke, the more Dazar’s eyes widened.
“Is that true? That man earlier… … Ruben’s followers… … “Head?”
“huh. Probably so. No, I’m sure. “I saw it.”
“Looking… … Hee-ah, is it because of that man that you suddenly disappeared a while ago?”
“uh?”
No, why does that suddenly make sense? I looked at Dazar’s triangular eyes and tried to hastily say no, but suddenly… … .
‘That’s also true, isn’t it?’
This thought crossed my mind. If you think about it, the reason I suddenly disappeared last time wasn’t because of Cedric. If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have fought in Ruben’s Tower, and the ship wouldn’t have been pierced by him.
More than anything… … There would have been no flying into this world.
“Hee-ah?”
Perhaps it was strange that I suddenly became silent, but Dazar called me with a worried look on his face. He suddenly came to his senses.
“iced coffee. Uh, after listening to it, it seemed like it was true.”
“… … okay? “Then I can’t just leave it like this.”
Dazar muttered in a low voice. yes. I can’t leave it like this. That way, Dazar won’t be in danger.
‘But it’s strange. Cedric’s face was the same, but Dazar from the previous world did not remember Cedric.’
Facing this today… … Are we never going to meet again in the future? Because I may not have remembered your face after just passing by.
Umm. In any case, it was true that Cedric was manipulating things here, so he decided to solve it if he could and return to Seaster.
While thinking like that, I was killing time with Dazar. How long has it been? As light began to slowly seep into the windows of the community center and it felt like day was slowly breaking, a loud explosion sounded out of nowhere somewhere in the village.
Kwaaang-!
I was startled and my shoulders naturally shrank. But there was someone who surrounded me faster than that. The only person I was with was Dazar, so of course it was him.
“Heeah! are you okay?”
“Uh, uh. I’m okay. What does this mean now? “Isn’t there something wrong with Morokanil?”
“For now, stay here, no, no. “Come outside with me.”
Dazar held out his hand.
“Even if you put a barrier around this place, it won’t work on you. “I think it would be safer for you to be next to me.”
You remembered that I am impervious to barriers and magic. Well, it’s a unique thing that can’t be easily forgotten.
I held his outstretched hand and headed out of the village with Dazar. The village was strangely quiet. Even though there was a big explosion just moments ago.
furthermore… … I searched the location where I thought the sound must have come from, but I couldn’t find anything.
“Morocanil… … “It’s gone.”
After looking around the village for the third time, Dazar said with a serious expression. okay. He found nothing. Including Moroccanil.
Like people who suddenly disappear, Moroccanil also disappeared.
