I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

chapter 14



14 – Episode 14. Pfft, kill it.

-Click.

Darkness came with the sound of the door closing.

After returning to her home, Vivian left the entrance in silence and looked around the inside of the house she was staying in.

It was a very messy place, just like before I came back.

When I woke up and went down to the basement, my research results were completely gone, and I turned every corner of the house to find them.

Of course, the recovered results have already been moved to a safe place. Soon, when I am ready to move my belongings, I will move there and begin my research again.

You can trust that the Magic Tower also pays attention to defense.

They are just as desperate, and if they betray, all they have to do is make themselves pay the price…….

“But today, research will be difficult.”

Following the slums, they went to the Magic Tower and turned it upside down.

As it was a very tiring day for her, who spent most of her time in her room, she thought it was appropriate for her to rest for now.

“Yes, just a little.”

No matter how impatient I feel to continue my research right away, I consider it necessary for the future.

“Just a little bit compared to what we’ve been waiting for so far… ….”

Vivian succeeded in calming his mind, moved her limp body, and soon returned to her room.

After cleaning up the little mess with her telekinesis using her mana, she soon laid down on her bed with only a doll in her arms.

I have to go to sleep like that, relieve my fatigue, and prepare for the next time…….

-Growl.

“…… “I’m hungry.”

Now that you think about it, did you starve all day today?

It might have been good to eat to replenish her energy, but Vivian ended up not getting up from the bed and instead buried her face in her doll to forget about her hunger.

If you try to eat it on your own anyway, all you get is a tasteless, hard biscuit.

When she was researching, she ate it without even worrying about it, but now that she was unable to advance her research, her mind was filled with nostalgia from her old memories.

If there’s anything you need to put in your mouth to soothe it, it’s warm food made by someone’s hands.

Yes, the reason I decided to hire a housekeeper was to experience those things and look back on the nostalgia of that day.

‘Vivian. ‘Stay calm here.’

Mother.

The only family that passed down witch blood to him.

And if she stops, in the end she can only recall the person as a memory of her past.

‘Mom, don’t go! ‘I don’t want to be here!’

‘It’s okay, Vivian. ‘You’re going to fall into a bit of a long sleep from now on.’

Whenever she fell asleep, I would always think of our last meeting with her.

A burning cabin and armed shadows approaching from outside…….

And all the moments when she, with her back blocked by a barrier in front of them, puts herself in her box and strokes her cheek.

‘Once you wake up, no one will be able to harm you. If you wait, that kind of world will definitely come…….’

‘Well, then what about Mom?’

I didn’t want to break up.

No matter what happened after that, I wanted to share that fate with my mother.

‘If I stay here, what happens to Mom?’

No matter how young he was, he wasn’t an idiot.

No matter what purpose they came looking for them, wouldn’t it be obvious what would happen to the mother who would create a barrier from outside if they were the only ones here?

‘Don’t worry, Vivian.’

Nevertheless, without any fear or hesitation, she just placed her lips on his forehead and spoke in a low whisper.

‘Mom, she just came back from another world.’

‘Another world…… ?’

‘Yes, another world. You know Vivian is her mother’s daughter too, right? The world we live in is truly isolated by walls of many dimensions.’

‘… ….’

‘… It’s not going away. ‘Just go somewhere else.’

Are you just saying this to reassure yourself?

Or really… ….

Is it because she really has the basis that the souls of people who have left this world are heading to another world?

‘So don’t worry. ‘If you live, you will meet her mother again someday.’

‘Really?’

‘Okay, so, survive. No matter what happens, persevere… ….’

With that greeting, the box closes with a thump.

Afterwards, along with the powerful force felt from the outside, my consciousness sank below the surface, and it was not until a long time later that I woke up again.

At that place, a scene unfolded where the people who had persecuted him presented data from the research conducted by witches like his mother and asked for interpretation and progress.

It was some time later that I learned that witches like my mother had been burned to death by their ancestors, and even their bodies had disappeared without a trace.

But I wasn’t completely angry about that fact.

Even if there were no living kin in this world, my mother left me a little hope the moment she said goodbye to me.

“If the souls of the dead pass over to another world…….”

Yes, that was hope.

Because of her hope, she lends her power to enemy bloodlines that need her help, and conducts research that interferes with other dimensions.

Do not stop at just bringing things in one way, but head there yourself or bring more things into this world.

If you do that, the day may come when you can visit the afterlife or the reincarnation of your mother wandering in another world and make the memories of that day come true in the present…….

“I’m sure I’ll be able to see my mom again when the research ends, right?”

Realizing that the day when she would achieve that day with her own hands was not far away, Vivian hugged the doll in her arms and prepared to calm down her consciousness.

Just like that, she ponders her memories with her and prepares to forget everything else about her…….

Yes, originally, she should just move on and think everything is fine except for that one person.

“… Hyosung.”

Why?

The reason why an unexpected name pops up in my head when I have to recall those memories.

“Woo Hyo-seong.”

This is a man who was only called temporarily to relieve nostalgia and inflammation.

No matter how kind he was and how he silently carried out everything he was instructed to do, he was someone who just had to pass by.

“Even thinking about it again, it’s a strange name. Woohyo~ Rani…. He, hehehe.”

Nevertheless, this moment reminds me of his existence.

As she projected that existence onto the doll she held in her arms, a smile gradually began to appear on her lips.

“Yes, it’s really strange. I still remember that person’s name…”

Although she is a being that transcends cognition, she has not yet forgotten how she felt as a girl.

Because she was such an immature person, she couldn’t help but realize it.

Along with my mother, whom I hope to see again someday, another imprint has been engraved in my heart that will never be erased.

****

And then, a few days later.

After reviewing the plan and preparing my mind, I immediately withdrew all the money I had stored in the bank and headed to the streets of the workshop.

There was no hesitation at all.

I already had enough time to think, and delaying it any longer would only weaken my mind.

Once you have made a decision, you must take action to drive a wedge in the path you want to take.

How important it is to make a start like that has been proven by the rough experiences I have lived so far.

“Are you from another world?”

For that reason, when I was just entering the street of the workshop, an old man approached me with interest.

I tried to respond favorably to his approach right away.

As I couldn’t use it anywhere, it was a good opportunity for someone to pay attention to me.

“You recognized it right away.”

“Well, black-haired foreigners are usually friends from another world.”

An old man looking up and down at me with wide-open eyes. Afterwards, the furrowed eyebrows probably showed that I was not trustworthy.

“But looking at his unsightly demeanor, I don’t think he’s a hero… …. “Could it be that you came here to buy equipment?”

“Yes, I plan to become an adventurer soon.”

“… “You’re not even a hero, but you’re aspiring to be an adventurer. You’re reaching for something too unreasonable.”

A valid concern, if valid.

But I just smiled and answered without thinking about it.

“Even if it’s too much, we have to do it.”

One of my goals is to become an adventurer when I have money.

After the incident that day, that desire actually became stronger.

***

Of course, I’m not a fool either, so it’s not like I didn’t feel anything about what happened that day.

I felt only bewilderment at the incomprehensible phenomenon, and it is natural to feel fear and helplessness at the fact that such a being exists somewhere in this world.

Nevertheless, the reason I was able to stand up again and aim to become an adventurer was because I remembered a connection I had in the past when I was a porter at the request of the Holy Knights.

So… …. As it happened, the new leader of the Holy Knights was a nobleman with a very strict personality, and the unit led by that nobleman’s unreasonable strategy was wiped out.

What happened when the remaining remnants were surrounded by the undead army.

“… Damn, this is the end.”

The knight commander struggled to admit it, but eventually accepted the reality and fell into despair.

She realized that she could not achieve anything with just her sense of justice in destroying evil, and she muttered quietly as she sat down in front of the black knight who soon appeared in front of her.

The last remark probably came from pride in not giving in to evil.

“Kuh, kill it.”

“I understand.

-Kuzik!

The leader of the Holy Knights who can be slaughtered by a single swing of a great sword.

Although people, including me, were shocked by the blood splattering along with the cut-up meat, he did not show any sympathy or hesitation.

In the first place, to the undead, the dignity of life is more worthless than a stone on the side of the road.

“There is no need to bring back a writer who is not remorseful enough to talk about his death carelessly.”

As it taught us, the black knight who kicked the butchered corpse as if it were a stone immediately turned to the remaining survivors, including me, and gave instructions to the ghouls.

“Take the rest with you. “Among these, there may be talented people who can join us.”

Death Knight Death Knight.

He was one of the four knights guarding the Corpse Lord who led the Army of the Dead, and his goal at the time was to turn the remnants, including me, into undead and recruit them as allies.

To find someone who, like himself, can awaken as a being who maintains his identity despite being undead.
