NOVEL NEXT chapter 23
23 . Helga, war of nerves
With her little dagger still fastened to Rihanna’s throat, Helga began to speak one by one.
“Hannah, you better keep quiet. Didn’t you hate getting hurt from the old days?”
Perhaps because her face was right in front of her, the smell of alcohol spread more intensely than usual.
It was a dark room without a single light, but Helga’s red face came into view clearly.
Rihanna asked Helga in an annoyed voice, she didn’t look particularly frightened.
“Why did I come?”
She didn’t really think she made a mistake, but Helga’s dagger came closer to her than before.
The feeling of the cool cutlery on her neck was something she hadn’t gotten used to, and it was something she didn’t want to get used to.
Helga opened her eyes and murmured in a lower, more subdued voice as if warning.
“Don’t even try to gloss over it. You came first, right? She took the elf….”
Helga’s friendly tone was mixed with a cynical tone towards her enemies.
Rihanna clicked her tongue once, and she glared right at Helga without avoiding her eyes.
She was quick to notice, perhaps because she was a bitch.
A vague lie won’t work.
Rihanna instead chose to break through her face.
“Right, to be honest, I came looking for you.”
Helga finally got out of Rihanna’s body, and she continued to ask questions as she wandered around.
“As expected…. You only get beaten by Leon or Cassandra, and the party fades away, so you came here to get revenge on me, who is easy enough?”
“Wait, what?”
“Am I wrong?”
Wrong, Rihanna thought she’d never see the faces of those bloody warrior party bastards if she’d been spending time alone.
She’d rather, like she said before, get a new party, and have no intention of joining them again.
Rihanna lifted her upper body and wrinkled her brow.
“Don’t get me wrong. I came to you for Ahin….”
She finished her words just there, and Rihanna hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.
This plan is something only the elves know about, and nothing good has happened since it went into the ears of the target of revenge. If her vengeance against Helga fails for this, the elves’ wrath will surely turn against Rihanna.
But the reaction that came out of Helga’s mouth was something Rihanna never expected.
“Ain? Oh, come to think of it, there was a guy like that.”
Rihanna, trembling as she remembered the fury of the elves in the unknown, slowly raised her head in disbelief.

For the first time, she looked at Helga’s normally bright smile, dumbfounded.
Wasn’t there such a guy?
Rihanna also said that she did not initially approach Ain with pure intentions, but she never forgot him.
Did she live this year forgetting the existence of Ain?
She pretends to be so friendly when carrying luggage, and at least borrows a small amount of money from the porter in the name of alcohol?
She has no belongings of her own, carrying five people and three tents on her back, so easily forgetting her man who gave her a sense of security as if a small mountain were following her? She kept silent about all of that, and she followed him without a word of complaint?
What happened to the hair of all the bastards called the warrior party? She, of course, also Rihanna, but at least she thought she was a normal person, not a warrior.
It was fortunate that no Ain or Elf were here.
Seeing Rihanna fall into her furious silence, Helga shrugged her shoulders and said softly.
“This is the final warning. If you catch my eye just one more time, it won’t end like this. Thinking of the old relationship, I’m going to end this with a warning.”
Just as Helga was about to leave through the open window, she heard the wind cutting through the slightly open door.
Her arrow, fired like a flash, pierced her right through Helga’s forearm, pinned her to one of her walls and pinned her down.
“Awesome!?”
Helga cut short her moans of pain as an arrow suddenly lodged in her arm.
What follows is the voice of a woman possessed of the same fury as Rihanna’s, but even greater than that of Rihanna.
“You sound like a final warning.”
Olivia, golden eyes that shone ferociously in the dark like wisps of fire, slowly approached Helga and opened her mouth.
“Honey? It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but it looks annoying.”

Following that, the other sisters appeared.
Rihanna asked with a worried expression.
“What about Ain?”
Stella replied with a disgruntled expression.
“I was sleeping when I came up after washing? Ha… I wanted to have a good time without my father’s knowledge, but she ruined it all?”
There were many unwholesome thoughts that popped into her head, but she decided to put them away for now.
Helga watched indifferently as Rihanna and the elf were conversing, then roughly pulled the arrow out of her arm.
One swing of the arrow splattered her floor with red blood.
“Now, what shall we do?”
Elves approaching Helga with creepy smiles, Helga spat out nonchalantly at them.
“You guys, aren’t you tired of hiding her real face from Ain and living like that?”
The footsteps of the elves stop.
Did you tell her everything about her? Her elves looked at Rihanna, but Rihanna shook her head very quickly as if she wasn’t like that.
Insight, Helga’s unique ability.
The ability to penetrate and understand the essence of things.
It seems like a simple ability, but it was an ability that saved the party from danger several times when subjugating the Four Heavenly Kings, Koblen, who was good at deception, lies, and deceit.
Helga spoke triumphantly to the elves who stopped her.
“I am not as easily defeated as you think. The moment you start attacking, somehow make a fuss and at least expose your true selves to Ain and die.”
“I wonder how Ain will react when he learns that the daughters he cherishes so much are crazy psychos who kill people as easily as ants? Aren’t you throwing them away because you can’t handle them?”
Elia, moved by the word “Throw away”, Stretched out her hand, but Stella immediately stopped it.
If Elia’s magic hits this shabby inn directly, she won’t end with Helga’s death.
Other guests as well as Ain could be harmed.
In the end, they just put Helga right in front of them and just glared at her in annoyance.
“Ugh….”
It was the first time I had seen elves struggling, but something didn’t feel right.
Have you already developed feelings of love or hatred? Rihanna stood up and stood between Elf and Helga.
“Helga, do it in moderation.”
She replied, as if Helga was sarcastic.
“Did you get stained by the elves in the meantime? To the extent that I’m more concerned about the safety of those elves than I, who traveled with them?”
“I never had a good time hanging out with you guys. Even more so after knowing that the feelings you thought were good were false feelings planted by you guys.”
This should have been enough of an answer.
However, Helga tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Emotions lie? What is that again?”
“What?”
What do you mean by secretly planting bugs in someone’s head?
There was no way the bitch who always hung out with Leon, Cassandra, and Maria wouldn’t know.
Stella grabbed Rihanna and pulled her towards her, then she glared at Helga.
“Puppy, don’t listen to that bitch anymore.”
“An archer? It’s funny It’s a bitch with a snake’s tongue. I think you would have made more money working as a con artist.”
Helga wondered what was so funny about her.
“Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to deal with all four of you here. But she has no intention of sitting still. Rihanna, didn’t we just kill monsters while we were at the party?”
Realizing the true meaning of the words, Rihanna didn’t just kill the monsters, she quickly ran to Helga and grabbed her by the collar.
She looked funny with her hand slightly stretched up because she was shorter than Helga, but the only emotion in her was genuine anger.
“Don’t worry. There’s no such thing as touching Ain. You know very well what happens when the guys who have nothing to protect run amok, right? But you will live in fear of death for a while. When you sleep, when you wash, when you eat, anytime, anywhere, they will be targeting you.”
After her words, Helga kicked her Rihanna away, then she ran straight out of her window.

Feeling as if a typhoon had hit, Rihanna got up from her seat with Noah’s support and stared blankly at her window.
Oops, that’s not what’s important now.
Perhaps this is not the first time? What made these elves helpless?
Contrary to Rihanna’s expectation that the road will go wild, will the elves go to bed now with a calm expression? He was just spitting out calm words.
She took turns looking at the faces of the elves, more embarrassed to be Rihanna who saw that.
“What, can I do nothing?”
“What?”
“No… There are many things. Breaking her head out of the blue like you did to me, stabbing her thighs with a knife, or kicking her with her feet, huh? Shouldn’t I at least plant bugs in my head, like I did? Why are you just letting it go?”
Rihanna shouted at them almost in her appeal, as if it was unfair for her to be treated as such.
Said Elia, shaking her head in disgust.
“Wow, sister… Do you want your old colleague to be like that?”
“Oh, no. It’s not….”
Looking at her like this, she felt like she had become trash herself.
Olivia gave her Rihanna a gentle pat on the shoulder, amused.
“Just kidding. And it doesn’t really matter.”
“It doesn’t matter, what is it… Didn’t you come all the way here to kill the people who hurt Ain?”
Even if you rot, Junchi, there was no guarantee that you would be able to catch Helga again in this village.
The elves just missed the chance to become a genius.
Elia gave a dark smile to Rihanna’s concerns.
“The moment that bitch came to us by herself, she was already lost. Isn’t the answer enough now? My sister is sleeping now. We are going to have a good time with Dad from now on.”
Rihanna thought about what to do with the sleeping Ain’s body, seeing the elves’ backs spitting out her wrong desires.
She’s lost, and it didn’t take long to understand what that meant.
