NOVEL NEXT chapter 10
I see your code (10)
Tanya doesn’t like summer. It’s not just the weather.
Oddly enough, all her unhappiness happened in the summer.
In the summer of the year she turned eight, she fled from the burning imperial palace.
In the summer of the year she turned nine, the godfather who had brought her disappeared without a word.
And now I’m 16.
Even now, it is summer when I am being beaten to death for not paying the arrears.
‘I wish they were all dead.’
everyone, including myself.
I seriously thought so, but at the same time, my heart was pounding. It’s all because of that damn curse.
A curse of blue blood that makes humans fall in love.
I hate the three kingdoms that invaded the empire.
I hate people who do not know the sacrifice of the imperial family.
I hate the godfather who killed his father.
People who live foolishly, not knowing that the world will soon be destroyed, are disgusting.
Even if you want to feel resentful like that, you will understand because of this damn curse.
The reason the three kingdoms invaded is because the empire monopolized the magic stones. The reason why the Empire collects Manastones is because they hid it. The godfather killed his father to save millions of people.
And all of that was the imperial family’s wish that people would not despair in the face of inevitable destruction and live in peace.
This damn blue-blood curse, which gave nothing so much, was eating her heart.
“this! Mr. X! bastard! Guidance on arrears?”
puck! puck!
He struggled to endure the rising pain and looked at his opponent. It’s a common sheepdog.
An ordinary person who does not know swordsmanship or magic.
What she hated the most was not anyone else, but her incompetent self, whom no ordinary person could defeat.
It was the only thing she could truly hate. Because the damn curse didn’t apply to me.
She glared at her and opened her mouth.
“Kill it.”
“What?”
“If you are alive, I will surely kill you, so kill me now.”
“Hey, this guy… … ?”
The man flinched. trembled
it is pressed by the emptiness. The man was thrilled by the brief but frightening fact of the little boy.
“This orphan… … Yes, I will kill you if you wish!”
The man raised his foot to kick. And the moment you want to kick it.
chin.
“Are you going to stop?”
A little boy I saw one day was blocking his feet.

[Tanya Stroud]
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Description: A princess of Imperial Cadian. She is also the adopted daughter of Iron, the main character of the first part, ‘Crazy Dog’. He was born with a ‘blue vein’, but has no outstanding abilities. Byron reveals his ‘blue veins’ and is killed.
This is the content of the character sheet I made.
The princess of the ruined empire, the main character’s adopted daughter, and even the setting that she was born with ‘blue blood’.
In fact, the main character is in a position that is taken for granted. He is also a key figure in the most important ‘invasion of another world’ in the second part.
The problem is that the character has already died long before the start of part 2 of the game.
If the emotion I felt when I met Reynold and Darin was gladness, and the emotion I felt when I met Zyer Terberots was blunt, the emotion I felt when I saw Tanya Stroud was a bit of guilt.
The characters I’ve met so far may have a tragic end, but they’re characters who appeared and played an active part in the game. On the other hand, the narrative that Tanya Stroud was killed by Byron after all the hardships ended.
As a producer, it could be called a sore finger.
A character I couldn’t use due to my lack of ability.
Tanya Stroud is killed by Byron. It sounds like it’s going to die right now, but it’s not going to die.
So it’s okay to ignore it like anything else.
chin.
“Are you going to stop?”
“what?”
Nevertheless, the reason for meddling was not just that she had a sore finger.
My first goal is to be strong. This is a tool.
Whether they find a way to return to Earth or remain on the Velia Continent without finding it, this is the minimum condition.
If I had to choose between the two, of course, it would be the one going back to Earth. It’s not a one-dimensional problem, whether the Earth is better than the Velia continent.
According to the ending of the game, the Velia Continent will be destroyed. If the original story goes on, I’m not sure I can stop it.
So just in case insurance. In other words, we need a variable.
And Tanya Stroud is the perfect person to be a good variable. First of all, isn’t she the adopted daughter of the imperial princess and the crazy dog Iron, the main character of the first part?
Besides, the knights the emperor sent to the eastern continent.
In the game, you might be able to unite them, who were scattered and died one by one, and the main character’s bastard will also have some control.
… … will it be
Although he is a human with an external mind, his personality is not wrong. I will not harm the human who saved my foster daughter. I believe it won’t.
Then the man frowned and looked at me.
“You bastard… … I thought you were behind, where have you been hiding?”
“… … Do you know me too?”
I looked at the man’s face, but there was no corner to remember. If it was a mercenary from the forest or training ground, you would have recognized it.
It’s been about ten days since I’ve been to this world, but why are so many people recognizing me in this big city, and that’s only for the worse.
Maybe I’m living my life wrong.
“What? ah?”
The man stepped back and smiled.
“Ignoring the delivery date and running away, where did you leave the liver?”
“A due date?”
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Did you know me before I entered this body? Just looking at it, it looks like a face I’ve seen somewhere… … .
“Are you pretending not to know? I just met this kid. Let’s beat each other together.”
The man said so and raised his feet again.
Why is this bastard so absurd, I look at him, but the angle of his feet is a bit familiar.
An angle that seems to have been hit once.
If it’s someone I met at the training ground or in the forest, I can’t do that to me. You must be busy hiding like the old man you met in the tower.
Come to think of it, I was used to the situation as if I had seen it before. The due date, the payment, the orphan being beaten… … X, I remember this.
“Now that I see, you’re the kid who gave me a refreshing gift on my first morning?”
“What? First day? What kind of bullshit is that?”
“I don’t know, let’s beat him up for a moment.”
The search was more desperately searched for by me, sis X bastard.

“So, you don’t even know my name?”
“… … Yes. Even if I memorize the face, I don’t even have to ask for the name.”
“Hmm… … .”
I was wondering if I could get some information before I came in, you bastard. I knew very little.
That he had been living in that house for quite some time, and that he did not speak. And where did you get the arrears from?
Other than that, I don’t know anything about names, ages, etc. I even asked if he knew my gender. … Were you a woman?’ aren’t you asking useless bastard.
“wake up.”
“yes!”
The man jumped up in an instant.
“If we see a scene like this again in the future, we will be really behind.”
“I’ll keep that in mind! Well then… … .”
Then he gently pulls himself out.
where is this kid going
“Where are you going?”
“Yes? I, I really know more… … .”
“No, I have a question. A bastard who doesn’t know anything.”
“Then why are you doing this… … .”
He reached out to the man standing there with a stupid face.
“Today is the due date.”
“Yes?”
“Delivery date. amortization.”
“… … .”
The man looked at him and took out 10 silvers from his pocket.
“Is this all?”
“yes… … Yes. That’s really the answer. Trust me!”
“Such a beggar.”
“Sin, I’m sorry.”
I thought I’d forgive you if I had a lot of money, but I can’t.
It was because the mental shock inflicted on me was too great to pass the 10 silver. The settlement amount is originally to be set by the victim.
“If you go to ‘Mercenary Street’ over there, there is a two-story red brick building, have you ever seen it?”
“that… … Are you talking about the place where ‘Lion Sword’ and ‘Wind Mage’ live?”
“Oh, I know. yes there From today, come every two weeks there to pay 20 silver.”
“… … yes?”
“If you pretend you didn’t hear, you die.”
The man quickly straightened his posture.
“Anyway, 20 silver is overkill. I only got 5 silver… … .”
“Is it like stealing money from children’s noses? If you are an adult, you should bring twice as much.”
“… … Double 5 silver is 10 silver.”
This bastard can’t make up his mind again and talk back.
I stopped trying to get another hit. Starting tomorrow, I have to work hard to earn money, but I have to be physically strong.
Instead, I pointed to Tanya Stroud, who was still down and staring at the sky.
“You don’t take responsibility for beating a child like that? You have to give him his share.”
“But why did the teacher… … .”
“Write. talk too much.”
The man wept. Why are there so many men crying in front of me?
“Still, 20 silver is really unreasonable… … To be honest, if I had that money, why would I go out and play with my kids?”
“You should know that. Either sell yourself to a lady or beg. Just be aware that if you don’t bring the money by the due date or get caught doing something that bothers me, you’ll fall behind.”
“… … What is obtrusive?”
“I want you to always keep in mind what it is.”
The man’s expression darkened. It doesn’t look very pitiful though. So, who’s chasing kids?
“Go now. If you can breathe, you can hide. If caught, there will be no second chance.”
“… … .”
The man walked away with a blank expression on his face.
Watching it, she approached Tanya Stroud, who was lying there, and collapsed.
“Are you okay?”
“… … .”
Tanya Stroud looked at me without answering. It’s like they’re trying to pierce me. I looked at him without averting his gaze.
After a while, Tanya Stroud spoke up.
“Thank you for your help. But, I’m sorry if I aimed, but I can’t give you anything.”
“Don’t worry. No matter where I look, I can’t seem to get it.”
“… … Then why did you help?”
There are many reasons. That she is the imperial princess, that the main character is a godfather, that she possesses blue blood, etc. There was no reason to say any of them.
“just.”
“… … just?”
“okay.”
Tanya Stroud frowned.
“It’s just not there in Layton.”
“Then let me tell you that your little one looked pitiful at all.”
“Speak right.”
Tanya Stroud growled.
I think others said it was a threat, but it’s more like an abandoned dog than a wild beast.
“I have no intention of accepting unpaid favors. I can’t give you anything right now, but… … .”
“How old are you now?”
“… … I am 16 years old.”
Not very good. The exact date is unknown, but Tanya Stroud was murdered by Byron at the age of 16.
That means there are only a few months left.
“I remembered the price.”
“… … what?”
“Let’s go together until we’re 17.”
“What?”
Tiling!
At that moment, a bright notification sound was heard.
