I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 37. Sephira solver (1)

“Are you sleeping?”

Luke said to Keter, who was sleeping comfortably.

The thick dark circles were telling him that he hadn’t slept a wink last night.

Even though I was relieved that Keter had appeared, I had doubts.

‘How did you come back without showing any signs?’

Luke waited in the next room for Keter to arrive, focusing all his senses.

It is an article that if you focus on your hearing, you can even hear the sound of ants crawling. But last night, Luke didn’t hear Keter enter the room.

‘Did I fall asleep? Or maybe… … .’

I entered the room without making any sign.

Is that possible? They say you can kill the sound of footsteps by yielding a hundred times, but how did you get rid of the sound of opening the door?

What the hell is this guy?

‘absinthe. Is it such a great place? Or is this guy just special?’

Being chosen by the demon palace Amaranth, he may not be extraordinary, but for some reason he was a Luke who thought that that would not be all.

“Quaaagh!”

Then Kether screamed and twisted.

“Ahh! what, what?”

Surprised Luke, wondering if he had a seizure.

“After- I slept well.”

“… It makes a lot of noise when stretching.”

“Uh, welcome to Luke.”

“Welcome, what do you mean? where the hell did you go yesterday? Why are you running away without a word!”

“An attractive man has many secrets.”

“You sound like a secret. The security has been tightened even though it is said that ghosts appear in the middle of the night. It might be a kind of curse, so it’s dangerous to act alone.”

Of course, the identity of the ghost was Keter.

The number of guards doubled, but they were unable to identify Keter, let alone capture it.

Keter shrugged and said.

“Are you ready?”

“Thanks to you, I did it all by myself. All your share!”

“Very nice. Let’s go.”

“Eh, I see you still have the heart to do the mission. wait. I will bring your equipment.”

Luke was careful not to get caught up in the past. It’s upsetting that Keter ran away yesterday, but she did come back safely.

‘Next time, don’t let me run away. That’s all.’

Moments later, Luke handed Keter a piece of equipment from the next room.

A bow, a quiver with arrows, and leather armor top and bottom with Sephira patterns engraved. A thick cloth jacket, and a sutu (手套) wrapped around the wrists.

It was the basic equipment given to apprentice knights.

“Wash and change. I’ll come after I’m ready. The bow is slung over the shoulder. The quiver can be hung here, on the belt at the side. The suit is worn on the hand holding the string.”

“I get it.”

Luke left Keter unsuspecting and went back to the next room.

After a while.

Luke, fully armed, went out into the hallway.

Unexpectedly, Keter was waiting first. With only her belt and bracelet on her waist.

“Why are you so late? let’s go.”

“What are you going to do! What about all the equipment I gave you, did you come wearing only your belt and bracelet?”

“It’s cumbersome.”

“… At least you should bring your bow and quiver. Aren’t you going to learn archery?”

“I have this, haven’t you heard?”

Keter showed a tattoo on her left arm, an amaranth, and Luke shook his head.

“I heard you. But that’s a magic palace. You should know how to shoot a bow with your strength and skill.”

“It’s not. I am shooting.”

“Stop being stubborn. bring it quickly Don’t you have time to play around like this?”

“Does this look like a joke?”

“Ugh… … .”

Luke was somewhat perplexed.

Why did Keter not listen to me like this? It’s even too steadfast stubbornness.

‘I can’t even sell this… . Father, what kind of life have you been living?’

You can’t shout at them or suppress them by force. All Luke could do was fool himself.

‘Let’s start at once. Everyone around me is hearing what I’m doing here right now.’

It’s early in the morning, but there are 24-hour guards in the hallway. Is that all? The maids and attendants are already up and preparing to open breakfast.

“Wait a minute.”

However, I have no intention of accepting all of Keter’s stubbornness.

Luke went into Keter’s room and took the bow and quiver he had left behind.

“let’s go. The horse is ready in the fourth stable.”

“wait for a sec. I will help you.”

“huh?”

Has this guy come to his senses?

yes. I have a full bow and quiver, and a human conscience is bound to sting.

“Okay, that’s it.”

“… … .”

Keter didn’t take a quiver with her, but carried it on Luke’s back.

Luke touched his forehead and said.

“Keter. Carrying a quiver on your back is inconvenient. Because the hand has to go back and then come forward again. Moreover, if you lean down, arrows rain down on your head. The side is the fastest and most stable position to reload.”

“know.”

“You know, why are you carrying it on my back?”

“I want to be comfortable writing.”

“what?”

Keter, on its own accord, started to get ahead.

It seemed to be walking slowly, but it went away in an instant. Panting, Luke followed and shouted.

“Do you know where the 4th stable is?”

“Roughly.”

“driving me crazy.”

Luke had no choice but to admit it.

That Keter was called an idiot overnight was by no means an exaggeration.

dark underground training ground

Anis was surrounded by scarecrows.

However, it could not be called an ordinary scarecrow. His body was clad in steel armor, and his outstretched arms were sharp blades.

In the middle of being surrounded by such scarecrows, Anis was bare and holding only a bow and arrow.

Shupak!

Anis, who had her arms hanging down, fired an arrow in the blink of an eye and pierced the face of the scarecrow in front.

The scarecrow was also wearing a helmet, but the arrow got through the eye socket, a very small gap.

“hot!”

Anise swung her bow like a baton and hit the two scarecrows behind her at the same time.

Immediately after that, he kicked the scarecrow in front with a kick using centrifugal force.

Dismissed!

The scarecrow, which was deeply anchored to the floor, could not withstand the impact and broke.

Just before the scarecrow fell, Anise pulled out an arrow from the scarecrow’s face and fired again with a string.

puck!

It was an instant shot in an unstable position, but it hit the scarecrow’s stomach exactly.

through thick armor.

“bout!”

Anise hit the tail of the arrow with her palm. An arrow pierced the scarecrow and came out through the back.

Two scarecrows left.

Anise moved to a low stance and wrapped the bowstring around the scarecrow’s back and twisted it.

The scarecrow’s neck was twisted into many strands, so it was very thick and tough, but it could not withstand Anise’s strength, and soon the neck was roughly torn.

One scarecrow left.

The arrow has not yet been retrieved.

Anise did something unexpected. Without an arrow, he drew a bowstring.

Whoops!

It was then.

An arrow appeared from Anise’s bow, where there was none. It was an arrow made of aura, an aura arrow.

The arrows made of Aura, which had extremely weak holding power and were difficult to shape, looked unstable even at first glance.

However, Anise finally succeeded in stabilizing it. Keeping the shape of the arrow until the end, let go of the bowstring.

Slap!

The Scarecrow literally shattered when hit by the Aura Arrow.

“Whoop, whoop.”

Anis was sweating and gasping for breath.

sh*t.

Although covered in sweat, Anise’s eyes were infinitely bright and seemed full of vitality.

It had to be.

Anise has gone beyond her limits. Aura Arrow was proof of that.

“Keter, thanks to you.”

Thanks to the more precise aura control, Anise was able to pull out an aura arrow in an instant, and the overall ability of her body improved.

I hate to admit it, but it was largely thanks to Keter. After being defeated by him, a fire was kindled in my heart.

I had a goal of getting an apology after breaking that cheeky and arrogant nose.

Just imagining the defeated Keter made Anise smile. He didn’t realize it, but it was a smile he hadn’t smiled in a year.

“I’ll definitely break you in return.”

Anis, who had the most confidence in her life, checked the time.

“It is morning. Keter must have awakened too.”

Keter clearly told me to come back when my body was at its best.

That was right now.

Anis immediately took a shower, dressed neatly, and went to Keter’s quarters.

smart.

When Anise knocked on the door, it opened immediately and Zach greeted her.

“You are the young Annis. What business did you come for?”

“Keter is inside.”

“You left a little while ago on a mission.”

“mission… Rani? Are you saying Keter is on a mission?”

Anis, who was underground, had not heard of Keter.

“yes. That’s how it happened. Are you very urgent?”

“Important. There is something that must be resolved between us.”

“If so, go straight to the south gate and you will be able to meet him.”

“Thank you, butler Zach.”

The moment Anise was about to turn around in a hurry, butler Jacques added.

“I know that Master Keter has been rude, but the older brother, Master Anise, please be kind to your younger brother, Master Keter. This is my small request.”

Anis couldn’t immediately answer that she couldn’t bear it. After all, it was Deacon Jacques who informed Keter’s whereabouts.

“I will try.”

When I arrived at the south gate, I saw Luke and Keter on horseback in the distance.

When the two of them showed signs of leaving at any moment, Anise threw off her face and shouted at the top of her voice.

“Keter! wait! I am here!”

At Anis’s cry, not only Keter but also Luke turned around.

No one would start even if they saw Anise running towards them with ignorant momentum.

Except for Keter.

Keter pulled the reins even though she clearly met Anise’s eyes.

“Hey, wait a minute. Master Anise is calling!”

Luke followed and tried to dissuade him, but Keter cleared his ears.

“Am I a dog? Please respond to every call.”

“He’s your brother anyway. It looks like he’s coming to say goodbye. Aren’t you being too mean?”

“greeting? It’s the face of finding the enemy who killed your parents.”

“… Looking good, it seems like that. Are the rumors that you fought with the young master true?”

“To fight. I’m a one-sided fan. Hey – Anise. Are you feeling well?”

Anis shouted while running at Keter’s cry.

“okay! There’s nothing better than that! So get off your horse. Finish the match with me and go!”

During the conversation, the distance between the two became close enough to touch.

Keter gave a grin, a cruel grin.

“It seems to me that it is still not ripe yet?”

It happened in an instant.

Keter drew two arrows from Luke’s quiver and held one in each hand. Then he threw it with all his might toward the jumping Anis.

Luke could have stopped Keter, but he didn’t.

‘Throwing arrows only with arm strength? Theoretically, it’s possible. If the distance to the target is 5 meters.’

The distance between Anise and Kether is roughly 30 meters.

If you shoot with a bow, it’s a short distance, but if you throw it with only arm strength, there’s no way you can reach it. Even if it does touch it, it won’t do any damage to the target.

I should have.

Shia!

The arrows thrown by Keter flew away with a plosive sound.

Both Luke and Anis widened their eyes at a speed that could be said to have been shot with a bow, but Anise, the target of the arrow, snorted.

‘It’s clearly visible.’

One arrow is in the wrong place.

The other is flying towards his chest.

‘It must have been caught.’

Keter must have fired either of the two arrows to get them to hit.

Chow!

Anis did not stop her feet and caught the flying arrow right in front of her eyes. It could have been avoided, but it was to show Keter the results of his training.

‘How are you, Keter? I am not what I used to be.’

But what?

Keter was still laughing. Then he said something with his mouth.

‘… under… Called?’

The moment Anis read the shape of her mouth and reflexively looked down-

Slap!

Another arrow thrown by Keter. The arrow, which I thought had completely missed, hit the stone beak.

The stone beak protruded from the ground and hit Anise’s shin firmly.

“100 million… … !”

After giving out a short scream, Anise fell and rolled at the same acceleration she was running.

At first glance, it looked dangerous enough to cause instant death, but in reality, he was not seriously injured because he protected himself with an aura right before he fell.

However, even Aura couldn’t stop it from hurting her heart. There were many soldiers watching around, so Anise couldn’t bear to raise her face.

Then, Keter delivered the decisive blow.

“The lower body is still weak. So where would you like to use it?”

“Kuaaa!”

Anise forgot about her embarrassment and slammed the ground with both fists, enraged.

Keter said to Luke.

“Anise is angry. Let’s bounce.”

hee hee hee!

Luke said he should go and look, but Keter sped up and pulled away.
