chapter 30
Episode 30 – The road to the north
It was a magic-sealing restraint, a tool that sealed the wearer’s release of mana outside the body and forcibly suppressed the mana within the body. That is to say, if a wizard wears this, he will become an idiot.
A long time ago, a very far-sighted wizard made a tool out of annoyance at wizard apprentices committing crimes. And the wide-eyed cub is 13-year-old Werner. This bastard got his second grade early, what kind of an enforcer of justice is he, and he makes me suffer by making tools like this.
The beautiful woman facing me in the rattling carriage was grinning. He must be laughing with joy at the thought of chopping up the man who dumped him and giving him food for the witches.
Ah, first of all, I said I would proceed with the marriage I hate, so I will marry first and then kill it. It’s not some kind of praying mantis, and why does it kill a man on the day when a man and a woman are conjoined?
I’m incompetent right now, and the opponent in front of me is strong, and I even have a grudge. Without even thinking about it, I could conclude that it was fucked up.
“Hey Miss Glaceon…?”
But I had an indomitable spirit that would not be defeated by anyone. Didn’t you say that even if you were bitten into a tiger’s den, all you needed was mental strength and a shotgun?
“Why is that? Are you thinking of running away from me again?”
You fucking drive it like this? Isn’t it a severe punishment to launch a surprise attack while citing other people’s faults when I just called them by name? Of course, although Werner left a scar on the young girl’s heart, this is too radical a response.
“No, not yet, but I want to ask you something.”
“You can ask anything.”
“Don’t you hate me?”
“…That’s a question not worth answering. Have you forgotten what I was doing in my childhood?”
Fuck it. I asked with some hope, but there is no way it will work.
“Then why did you choose me as your fiancée? There must be many great men besides me.”
“Didn’t I tell you last time? It’s only you.”
Oh, it’s the succession issue or something. That’s why he’s trying to solidify his position by marrying Werner, who is said to be a part of the hero.
But to be honest, it’s just that my parents came back,
“hahahahaha, can’t you acknowledge our daughter? Fuck those who can’t admit it, get down in a row.”
“Ahahahaha, you didn’t dare admit it to my daughter, or doubted my ability. You said everything. All those who objected will line up and suck your blood and turn them into mummies.”
And I think it’s over after all the opponents have been purged. Honestly, I don’t know what kind of crazy bastards they are, but I think it’s an imaginary courage to dare to oppose the daughter of the witch-beast slayer of the north and the vampire queen. It’s not a gender issue, it’s just that my mother is against it because she’s a vampire. Racial discrimination, how sad and barbaric this is.
These pathetic guys who can’t even say anything to Glaceon’s parents with stupid words, but only gives a damn about easy-going Glaceon. He must have accepted me because he was insecure about his position since childhood. Fucking Werner bastard, you’re going to be punished for running away leaving a girl like this.
“By the way, I’ve never forgotten that day, even for a single moment. I’d like to convey that feeling to Werner-sama as well.”
This fucking half-vampire who can’t even eat garlic is real. I was about to raise my arms to make a cross, but there was no guarantee that the Christ of the cross would use his power here to defeat the half-slayer. Since I don’t like excessive gambling, I decided to put it aside for now and watch the situation.
“That day… I’m sorry that you still have the fact that I ran away, so I have nothing to say.”
This is true. To be honest, I had to apologize because I ran away from the engagement ceremony and drove a nail into the heart of a young girl. It is said that if a woman holds a grudge, there will be frost even in May, but because she harbors a grudge because of Werner, I look like a dick. Berner -like cub. I’ll just do something about the engagement.
“No, the day I said is not our drug god day.”
“Then what the hell…”
“…You seem to have forgotten.”
My instincts started to warn me that you really fucked up. This bastard with a fucking instinct always shuts up like a dumb dumb before something happens, and after it happens, he comes back and laughs at others, saying, ‘Hey, you’re fucked, why did you do that?’
“Sorry, I guess I forgot because it was in the past.”
“It’s been more than 15 years, so it could be. Don’t worry too much.”
In 15 years, I have no way of knowing. How do I know what Werner was doing when he was 14?
But wasn’t it 15 years ago when Glaceon began to fall in love with Werner? Apparently something happened then. At that time, I heard that the meeting was coming out as a short story. But the problem is that before the novel was released, the fucking vr device exploded and I died.
Contrary to the words not to worry, Glaceon looked quite disappointed. And if you leave a woman in a state of regret, Tess doesn’t even know what kind of anger it will cause later. A bastard who knows nothing really.
That’s why I had to relieve Glaceon’s mood in some way. I looked around to liven up the atmosphere and realized that Glaceon was wearing the ribbon I had given her. If so, I might be able to use it sparingly.
“That ribbon was a gift from me, and I’m pretty happy to see you wearing it.”
“It’s not that he’s so eccentric and violent that he puts the gift he received in a corner.”
But is it non-violent to raid someone else’s carriage and fill the restraints? I think you’d be surprised what kind of bullshit that Indian non-violent teacher Gandhi was spinning the spinning wheel.
However, judging from the fact that his expression is still cold, it seems that the effect is still insignificant. So I needed to do a bit more work. First of all, Werner’s handsome face was prepared, and he smiled lightly and softly.
“I’m glad it turned out just as well as I expected.”
Then, Glaceon’s cheeks turned red like her own pupils. Then he turned his head and started looking at the mountains in the distance. Yeah, that means it’s slowly starting to work. If a man draws a knife, he cuts a radish, and if he starts playing with his tongue, he must see the end. As a man, it is impossible to end here.
Glaceon seemed to be embarrassed and wanted to silence my words.
“You speak well. Why did you forget our first meeting when you thought of me that way?’
I had nothing to say because I was cowardly using facts. But don’t worry, your tongue is faster than your hands.
“Fifteen years ago I saw a lot of children. There were so many people looking for me, from orphans to nobles.”
“So you mean I’m not special enough to be one of them?”
Unknowingly, I feel a cold murderous intent. Instinct told me that if I chose the wrong option here, it would be salted right away and it would be bacon, not berner.
“Yeah, it wasn’t special.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
Shibal salt is coming. One step before Bacon, he made his second move.
“Because I’m pretty horny.”
“Yeah?”
With a gesture, I calmed Glaceon, who was in the mood to pull out her sword and make me ‘the one who used to be Werner’.
“If it’s not a beauty like Glaceon-sama now, I won’t particularly remember it.”
“Yeah…?”
Glaceon, whose face was even more red than before, was staring blankly at me. It’s good. Now, considering the boss, I don’t have much stamina left, so it’s time to attack with a different pattern.
“The reason I left Glaceon-sama isn’t much different.”
“Suddenly what…”
“Because I was too shabby.”
He smiled bitterly as he lowered his gaze to the floor. A human with a pitiful story had to show off that magical posture of lamenting his situation. Because there is no item as effective as the Sympathy Mark to help people survive. If there was a survival game, I was confident that I would plaster the bulletin board to the moderators, saying that this fraudulent item should be nerfed.
“A hero like Werner is shabby… What kind of bad joke are you talking about?”
“As you know, I am from a humble orphan. Even if I praise him with a name like a hero, the fundamentals will not change.”
The only complex that Werner has, the problem of origin. I can only survive if I attack that side as much as possible and get sympathy votes.
“That’s why I felt humble and very… pathetic for a lowly and insignificant person like me to stand next to a gorgeous person like Glaceon-sama.”
He paused slightly and emphasized the part that made him feel pathetic. Looking at Glaceon’s swaying expression, it seemed that he had been properly eaten.
