Chapter 228
My Villains Episode 228
47. Nightmare (10)
Right after I jumped out of the dark aisle, I looked back.
The bunch landed on the dirt floor without a sound, and Cole, as if he was used to it, adjusted his posture and was wary of his surroundings.
Finally, Heila lost her balance due to a slipped foot, and I quickly supported her back before she fell backwards.
“…thank you.”
His agility was much higher than that of normal people, and his shoes were made of Tarandus leather, so he could slip so lightly. If this is a skill, it is a skill.
“Thank you.”
I wanted to tell a joke, but I stopped because Heila, who relied on me to correct her posture, looked sullen.
“Here.”
Cole looked around, holding a long arrow on the string.
“It looks like a nudein camp.”
“…Who are the Humans?”
“yes. It’s like what we saw years ago.”
The place we arrived this time was a campsite full of tents and wagons, large and small.
The ropes holding the tent in place were all decorated with red and yellow cloth, and brass nails, rugs, and horse food were strewn about on the floor.
Clean water glistened in a wooden barrel placed at the entrance of a tent, and chunks of meat and flat bread sizzled in oil in a skillet sitting on a campfire.
“……Hmm.”
It was a place full of life, but I didn’t feel the popularity at all. It’s also a very similar atmosphere to the places I’ve been to before.
Not only were there no people, but no livestock, including horses, were to be seen.
It’s a space where you can’t hear a single bug chirping, but there can’t be horses or chickens-
“The wind is blowing! West Coast-”
M . 99
The four of us braced ourselves when we suddenly heard a song. And before anyone could even speak, they stood close together and were vigilant in all directions.
“Raise the sails and go! To our hometown 99
However, the voices of children were those of children, which put it to shame that the sword was drawn at once.
But I couldn’t be relieved.
“The golden sun! Blow-”
“……Uh”
……
It is because I couldn’t quite figure out where that clear and refreshing singing sound came from. It was as if the speakers were turned in all directions and the volume knob was randomly turned.
“Cross the rough waves! To our hometown-”
Towards the end of the song, an In-young suddenly appeared from between the tents.
“……Nix?”
Following the familiar voice, he turned his head and opened his mouth halfway.
A red band wrapped around the left forearm of a thin cloth dress. A loop decoration at the ankle.
Light brown skin, well-trained slender body, large height of about 175 cm, and large golden eyes set under straight eyebrows.
“Atalan Atilia?”
“Nix.”
Atalanta, with a bright smile, ran as if flying. I was standing there awkwardly, not knowing if I should retrieve the Hrunting or not, but she ran to me at once, jumped up and hugged me.
“I can’t believe Hyala.”
Atalanta wrapped her legs around my waist and wrapped her arms around the back of my head and neck. As I buried my face in her chest and inhaled deeply, the familiar scent of jasmine filled my lungs.
In that moment, I intuitively realized. The fact that the Atalanta that appeared in front of me was not an illusion.
“I really never imagined we would see each other so soon.”
“So do i.”
Atalanta suddenly put his shoulder on my shoulder and straightened his upper body. Then he looked down at me with watery eyes and bit his lower lip.
“Ha Liljanun.”
…I’ve heard it before. Isn’t this an insult?
“i get it. This is a dream.”
“…what?” “It doesn’t matter.”
Atalanta, who held me in his arms again, said, ‘It’s okay. How much have I been through so far?” he muttered, stroking the back of my head and gripping my hair.
“Ugh! Hey, it hurts”
Before I could finish my words, Atalanta, who forcibly tilted her head back, covered my mouth with her lips.
The soft offal meat broke through the gaping gaping teeth and coiled around my tongue like a snake.
The sound of breath, saliva, and flesh mixing.
The sweet smell of flesh mixed with the scent of tea.
My mind is getting farther away…
“Here * eugh* wait-” The
reason I came to my senses in the midst of Atalante’s violent kiss that seemed to eat me was thanks to the group behind me that made a strange sound and let me know about my presence.
“Hmm?”
As I struggled, Atalanta glanced at the group behind me and nodded.
“You can *huh* go anywhere. They are all empty.”
…What are you talking about?
“No, just calm down for a second!”
“Is it because it’s been a long time *hehe* or more because it’s a dream-” “
Hey! Don’t be crazy, why are you here?”
After forcing her to stand upright, I asked the question again, and Atalanta answered with a frown.
“What are you talking about after coming to my dream? Rather, I want to ask… “It’s ridiculous to go there.”
I put my hand on my forehead and explained the current situation to her. After briefly explaining the throne created by the vampire lord and the dream land created with the throne, Atalanta put on a somewhat dazed expression.
“Then this is not my dream, but your dream?”
“No, it is a little different. There are a lot of gaps in the dream manor I built, so it looks like your dream has been filled in…
I wrapped my head again before explaining.
“No, no. You weren’t swept away by the black disc. How did you get here
?”
“What are you talking about?”
Could it be that the Atalanta in front of me is not real, but a fantasy drawn from my memory? No, it’s too realistic to be a fantasy, like a bunch of Heila Cole.
As I was confused, Atalanta opened her mouth with an ambiguous expression.
“I don’t know what happened. It’s not like I flew all of a sudden from ‘Oduenne’ to Raven’s Cliff where you are.”
Auduenne?”
“huh. The place I am now is the port of Odouene.”
“…When is the ‘now’ you speak of?”
“When is it now? It’s early November.”
W Uh ”
The time is the same. So, has the real Atalanta really been brought to my dream estate? why? why?
While I was pressing my temples and contemplating, Atalanta suddenly reached out and grabbed my hips.
“…♦♦What are you doing?”
“Keep doing what you’re doing. Never mind.”
“Don’t care, stop messing around and say that, not me.”
As I said that, I narrowed my brows slightly, and Atalanta clung to me with an expression that looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
“Ah, look at this. I’m really having a hard time these days.”
“…what the hell are you talking about.”
“Would you like to go to my tent if you’re bothered? I’ll bleed out soon anyway”
“It’s a child!”
After that, it was none other than Heila who calmed Atalanta, who had been running rampant for a long time.
“He was alive.”
Atalanta, who had been clinging to me talking nonsense, stiffened slightly when she saw Heyla.
“……you’?”
“long time no see.”
Atalanta’s eyes cooled coldly at Heila’s mechanical greeting.
“…I thought it was Gilmong, but why are you here?”
“well.”
Heila blinked her eyes with a calm, or even emotionless, face as usual.
“Wouldn’t it be a good dream if a life saver appeared?”
“…a life saver? who?”
” me.”
“Fheu you?”
Whether Atalanta laughed or not, Haila continued.
“He saved you from dying while looking for your mother while being chained in Ellen’s frost awl.”
“Oh yeah. I remember now.”
Atalanta smiled and continued.
“But what was the reason for doing that…
” “Ah, that’s right. Was it to blackmail Nix? Did you want to get married like that?”
She muttered, ‘Ahhhh,’ and shook her shoulders.
“And you were alive? What I want to ask is that?”
Atalanta looked back at me with a wide smile.
“Why is that woman still alive? He’s the crazy bitch who caught me and Ellen and threatened you.”
“O” ……
Before I could even open my mouth, Heila took a step forward.
“I paid for what I did. I will take responsibility in the future.”
“You paid the price? Didn’t I get anything?”
“You don’t deserve it.”
Heila’s eyes lit up.
“Because I’ve injured Mr. Hatanka and killed dozens of Longville’s soldiers.”
“I was then-”
“I survived by begging for my life without paying anything. So you are our enemy now.”
“Alcarbatu. A bitch who
knows nothing dares”
“Huh?”
Atalanta’s golden eyes with a deep smile had a purple glow. From the nape of her neck, the power of emptiness soared slowly, and her torso floated about 50 centers in the air.
Heila melted down one of the rings and glared at Atalante. Dark red aura shimmered in her pitch-black eyes, and her gloves with diamond-shaped petal patterns gurgled and vibrated, absorbing mana.
The mungchi that had been standing still pulled out a cloud sword and stepped back. At the same time, he quickly loaded the small crossbow slung over his left arm and looked at Atalanta and Heila alternately.
Cole, who was looking at the atmosphere with a slightly confused expression, saw my expression and quickly put an arrow into the tradition.
“ha.”
Perhaps it was because my sigh was quite deep, the mana and life that had been rushing through the campsite were a little shaken. I rubbed my eyelids and opened my mouth.
“What are we going to do now?”
As the party’s eyes gathered, I sighed again and looked at Atalanta and Heila alternately.
“Come on.”
“……why?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
When I asked with a firm expression, Atalanta came up to me as if it had floated in the air. Halado hesitated for a moment before standing in front of me.
“Attilia.”
“…You can call me Atalante. Already announced to the clans”
“Yes. Then Atalanta.”
Atalante said with a slightly confused face, “Huh huh?” and stuttered. Then, seeing my hand gesture, he finished his levitation and landed on the ground.
” first.”
I brushed my hair and spoke.
“If we haven’t seen each other in a while, how have you been? What hasn’t happened since we broke up the other day? I heard that the power of the void is running out of control and it’s dangerous. There’s a level to loosening up, but what if you’re just rubbing your butt?”
“No, I didn’t do it on purpose, it was because I was really having a hard time these days and needed comfort.”
“Stop talking nonsense. If it wasn’t for Heila’s potion, you’d be dead. right or not?”
“…that’s right.”
“I understand you feel bad about being held hostage. But aside from being a lifesaver, did I have to start living for my co-workers? You don’t even remember being a hostage, do you?”
“That’s… Atalanta made a pitiful expression, but I didn’t let go. She pursed her lips a few times and bowed her head with a ‘hi-ing’.
Next, my gaze turned to Heila.
“Why are you suddenly like that?”
” what?”
“You were sarcastic from the beginning, knowing that Atalanta would feel bad for you.”
“…it’s not like that.”
“No, who the hell is there a person who greets someone he hasn’t seen in a while and says, ‘He’s alive’?”
“And I already told you what the situation was like with Atalanta. You’re not saying you don’t remember, are you?”
“I remember.”
“Then why did you do that? Atalanta, I may have ill feelings toward you, but you don’t have that, do you? Why are you like that all of a sudden?
When Heila didn’t answer, I pressed her to ask out of frustration.
“You don’t want to talk?”
“no.”
“Then why did you do that?”
“I don’t know either.”
“I don’t know? Ha ha-”
Heila, who was about to pour out more because she was angry, blinked slowly and said in a creeping voice.
“Sorry.”
“……what?”
“Sorry. I won’t.”
The gaze that was facing me suddenly went down to my chest. He seemed so lonely that he kept his mouth shut.
After looking at Atalanta and Heila for a while, he opened his mouth.
“…Well then, what did you say we should do when we reconcile?”
At my words, Atalanta put on a bewildered expression, and Heila blinked three or four times quickly.
“Hey, hey?”
“…a hug?”
“that’s right.”
“Wait, why would I bother?”
Atalanta cut her off before she could express her displeasure.
“You were once my teammate, and I hope one day you will be again.”
“Oh, that’s me too”
“Hayla is also my colleague. But it seems like you and Heila are both eager to kill each other? Then what do you think I will do?”
“…what are you going to do?”
“I will have to choose one or the other. Either choose neither.”
At my words, Atalanta opened her mouth in amazement.
“Ruqie dam, I know you want to choose one or the other, but what does it mean to choose neither?”
“Originally, the person who causes the conflict is fixed.”
“…No, really.”
Atalanta laughed nonchalantly, and Heila only blinked.
However, at my continued persuasion, the two eventually embraced each other like wooden dolls.
Either way, it was a good look. Well, there’s no way you wouldn’t want to see two beauties hugging.
As the two of them untied their hugs and fell, they turned their heads to the back.
“Young bundle, come here too.”
“Eh yes-”
Mungchi, who had been standing there without much thought, was startled and quickly ran to me. At Moongchi, who looked up at me with an innocent look, I
yelled
“Shit!”
It was unreasonable and I ate honey chestnuts.
The one who had been hit by an unexpected blow clenched his forehead, opened his eyes wide, and shook his chin.
“Ah uh uh…
Looking at the watery eyes, it says, ‘How could you do this to me’. It’s a face that looks like the sky has collapsed.
A part of my heart hurt, but I didn’t care and opened my mouth.
“I was in a situation to draw a knife, was that just?”
“OOO”
I — > —.
“Answer me quickly.”
Perhaps because of his stern attitude, Munchhi’s eyes quickly turned into sadness. With large water droplets hanging from his eyes, he pursed his lips.
“Are you not going to talk?”
dory dory.
“Why did you draw the knife?”
…Dori-dori.
“I don’t know what you mean, so say it.”
As the questioning continued, Munchchi closed his eyes tightly. Tears streamed down my face, but I tried to ignore it.
“Why did you draw the knife?”
“I’m so happy*”
“I’m not sorry, but why did you choose me?”
He closed his eyes tightly at the cold question and only shook his shoulders.
“You don’t want to talk?”
“No *sniff* no.”
“I told you to use the knife carefully. But why did you do that? Did you just try to kill me if you had to, like you always did?”
I asked this question several times, but Mong-chi was unable to give a proper answer, only shedding tears. I was in a state where I couldn’t talk about discipline or something…
“…Ugh, I lost.”
Saying that, he held out his hand and clung to my waist while bursting into tears.
I earnestly begged the witty guy, who sighed and cried sadly.
“You must always be careful when using a knife or taking a human life. right?”
“Yes yes yes *huong* yo.”
“You can’t be swept away by the atmosphere and driven by instinct and pull out your sword. You have to judge for yourself. I have to decide for myself whether this is a situation where I have to step in or draw a knife.”
I also said this to myself.
Now that he has entered the Dream Mansion, all his ferocious and cruel aspects have been ripped off, but in the past, he often went on a rampage like a madman and enjoyed killing.
I was afraid that Mungchi might fall into such a terrible pleasure. I calmly pet him with such concern.
