I Became an Immoral Child in the Game

30 – 6-My Son, My Son.

What is this bastard doing?

A sudden whim, I tried to read Mion’s intentions.

“Seo, Holy Son. Didn’t you say you would forget me? If it’s because of my rudeness, please reconsider…”

“That’s not why. I just want to stay in my hometown.”

“Holy Son, you mustn’t act foolishly. You betrayed the cause by being swayed by personal feelings. Please think of the humankind entrusted to you by the Goddess.”

I watched the conversation between Mion and Runea in silence.

Come to think of it, it’s quite a distorted encounter, different from the original.

Lunea was originally Mion’s teacher.

In the Legend of Esteria, Mion, who obtained the holy sword, was able to safely go to a nearby church with the help of Jin.

Recognized as a saint there, he sets out on a journey to meet the emperor, who has fled to the south, avoiding demons and devil cultists who are destroying mankind.

However, chased by the demonic cult, the priest who helped him in the central region is also in danger of losing his life and dying.

It was Runea who saved Mion at that time.

Holy Son, I’ve waited a long time.

The time when the Okstantium burned down, the Swordsman lost his life, and the emperor fled the streets with the poor.

Lunea wept over the birth of the saint.

However, the current situation was different from the original.

“Are you kidding me that I want to be back home?”

“Saint, Your Majesty is waiting for you. The Sword Saint, the nobles of the central region, the winemakers of the South, the tailors and farmers, the beggars who live on a daily allowance, the snubbers and the deaf old people are all waiting for you. Wait, because we are afraid, my son.”

“…….”

“Humans are weak before the devil. The power, wickedness, and sweetness of the demon king are too great for mere creatures to resist. That is why the Lord bestowed the Holy Son like this. Holy Son, please guide us who are weak. Please take my hand and go to the central region to proclaim the birth of a new saint to the continent of Esteria, and save the lambs who cannot sleep at night from the fear of demons!”

Despite the hot confession of faith, Mion’s eyes grew colder and colder.

“But what if I told you I was staying in the North?”

“…If that’s the case, Holy Son, forgive me for my disrespect.”

He said that he would take them by force.

As if those words had become a wedge, Mion opened her mouth with a determined face.

“I’m a woodcutter. That was until the knight called me a saint. A low-class person living day by day. That was me. That’s why I don’t understand difficult words very well. Even political things.”

“……Saint.”

“But I know one thing for sure. If I go to the middle of the country like this, I’ll have to live like a puppet for the rest of my life. Just like now. That’s not the life I want.”

Only then did I understand Mion’s intentions.

I tried to figure out which side was more free between me and Lunaa.

To put me and Lunea on the test bench in the midst of chaos.

Should I say he’s the main character?

“It won’t be different if you are in the north. And even if you go to the central region and fulfill the responsibilities that the Lord has entrusted to you, that is not the life of a puppet.”

“Didn’t you try to kidnap me?”

At Mion’s objection, Runea shut her mouth.

“Before I told the knight that I would stay in the north, I told Bjorn-nim that I would go to the central region. Bjorn-nim respected my opinion without a second thought. I’m a lowly woodcutter, so I don’t know which is the better choice. But which one Even an idiot can tell if you respect me more.”

Lunaa drank honey and became mute, only blinking her eyes.

It was her face that she did not know that this way she would get a shot.

And it was the same for me.

I never thought he would be such a smart kid.

“……I see. I’m sorry it turned out this way. But, my saint, I must complete my mission.”

After remaining silent for a long time, Runea spoke with a firm tone as if she had made up her mind.

Realizing what her decision was, Mion sighed.

“Even if it goes against me?”

“As long as it goes wrong with me.”

I stood between Lunea and Mion.

We confirmed each other’s feelings.

As opinions differ and cannot be narrowed down, the only thing left to do is to press down the other person with brute force.

I slowly drew my sword.

I don’t know how many times I went in and out today.

But this time it’s real.

Of course, the chances of winning against Runea are extremely slim.

From the moment I couldn’t escape, the result was fixed.

His opponent is the Sword Master, who is considered to be the second strongest after the swordsman, Landeros.

I may have overwhelming swordsmanship, but I cannot beat a flower that has yet to ripen and is in full bloom.

However, when she faced her with her sword in hand, that was all right.

As a swordsman, the spirit of good luck was seething all over his body.

It is a great opportunity to share a sword dance with a sword master.

How beautiful is the sword master’s sword aura.

How will I respond to my swordsmanship?

The swordsmanship of the Knights of the Holy Cross is famous for being heavy and serious, but what would it be like in actual combat?

So, where will this beam dance take me?

My body was hot.

I wanted to swing my sword at Runea right away.

However, my wish did not come true.

“What are you going to do, are you going to participate too?”

Runea, who was facing her sword, shouted at the empty grass.

At her words, a blurry Shin-young appeared under the shade of a tree.

“You are indeed the one who inherits the sword castle castle, Lunaa. It’s been a while.”

Hiding one’s body with magic and permeating into the darkness was a lowly trick that only an assassin would do.

But I knew the voice of that lowly man.

The surprising thing was that even Lunaa knew who the owner of the voice was.

“Sir Helga Sentle. I heard that you abandoned the Order of the Holy Cross and joined the Lighthouse of Mankind. I won’t ask you why, but you will always have your place in the Order of the Holy Cross.”

“I’m grateful for that. The Humanity Lighthouse Team is low-paying and intense, so I always wanted to hit it. It’s better when I was wandering the streets with you.”

“Why are you talking about your childhood?”

As if she had met someone she was very happy with, Lunaa said, suppressing her feelings.

“I wanted to ask you when I met you. Why did you, a knight who could have inherited the surname of a swordsman, go to the dark side of the empire after undergoing ‘surgery’?”

The goal of stealth is to hide oneself.

In order to hide oneself with magic, a different method was needed than a knight who collects mana or a wizard who creates a circle in the heart.

So assassins undergo ‘surgery’ that twists the circuit in which magical power circulates in order to hide.

And the moment he underwent the surgery, he could no longer grow as a knight or a wizard.

As much as Lunaa, there were many things I wanted to ask.

What kind of relationship was it with Lunea?

Why did the Knights of the Holy Cross flow all the way to the North?

A high level sword expert, he could have inherited the surname of a swordsman, but why did he learn stealth and stay in the shadows of the empire?

Why was he, who was busy as a senior engineer of the Lighthouse of Humanity, hiding by my side?

And why didn’t you tell me about it?

“I’d like to have a cup of tea with you and relax, but both of us are busy, right?”

But now I have to sort things out with Mion.

I watched the conversation between the two, controlling my emotions.

“We must lead the Holy Son on the right path. So even you cannot back down.”

“If you take the saint by force now, you will never get your relationship with the Knights of the Holy Cross back. Is that what you want?”

“Isn’t there another way? We can’t let the Humanity Lighthouse use the Saint at will. We’ve already made up our mind, so stop making unnecessary persuasion.”

“Then, don’t think that the Humanity Lighthouse will take it away, how about thinking that I’ve been in charge of the Holy Son for a while.”

“What nonsense is that?”

Despite Lunaa’s absurd reaction, Helga didn’t show any mischief on her face.

“Rather, I want to ask. What nonsense are you doing now? If Your Majesty sends a letter, I will send the saint safely. Until then, I have no intention of using the saint. Isn’t this enough for the Humanity Lighthouse to make concessions? ?”

“But it can’t be kept…”

“I understand that you can’t trust the Humanity Lighthouse. But can I?”

Runea quickly recognized Helga’s intentions.

“No way, Helga, are you going to sign the guarantee? That the cocky kid’s terms be met?”

“A mere knight’s guarantee doesn’t mean much. But it’s different between you and me, right? I promise in my name. So stop here and don’t make things worse. That’s the way for the Order of the Holy Cross. .”

I’m grateful to Helga for stepping up for me, but she wouldn’t have gotten to this point if it had been a situation that could have been stopped by his guarantee.

“What if I say no?”

Runea was ready to attack at any time.

As expected.

She couldn’t be persuaded by just that.

“Then I have no choice but to reveal the great wrong you have done to His Majesty in the days when His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne.”

“Hey, hey, why are you talking about that?!”

Runea’s face turned red like a ripe carrot.

What, what did you do that makes you so shy?

“If you say a word about it, I will kill you.”

“Will you cooperate to prevent that from happening? Oh, your mouth is itching? That day in His Majesty’s bedroom…”

“Stop! Okay! Damn it! I’ll take your offer!”

Runea’s sword entered her scabbard at a speed that was invisible to her eyes.

At this point, she just wanted to hand Mion over and hear what happened that day.

Runea pursed her lips and spoke to me in a resentful voice.

“I say again, Bjorn, I do not believe in your covenant. I, who received Lord Sentle’s grace, fell for that lie out of personal feelings. Please do not let Sir Sentle’s name be disgraced. When that time comes, It won’t be easy to handle my anger.”

“Remember.”

I smiled and replied casually.

What could be sweeter than a loser’s excuse?

As if she couldn’t bear to back away from here, Runea approached Mion and knelt down on her knees.

“Holy Son, all the mistakes I made today were due to my wrong judgment, not the will of the Knights of the Holy Cross. If you want to punish me for my sins, I will gladly accept it. But please, please make a decision for the sake of the empire. “

Mion didn’t say anything.

I just looked down at Runea with dry eyes.

Still, consider yourself lucky that things went wrong this much.

If you had really kidnapped Mion, how would you have dealt with the crooked saint?

“Bjorn Jejitz, we will see you again soon.”

After that, Runea disappeared towards Lothric Village.

As her figure disappeared over the forest, she came over to me as Helga.

“You must have a lot of questions. I understand. I’ll explain them all.”

She has a pile of things she wants to ask him.

But I was overcome with rage, and I didn’t like that.

I couldn’t stand her nerve-racking last words.

“f*cking b*tch! Called me by my middle name!”

Next time I see you, I’ll definitely pay you back for this humiliation today!

[…] … Stupid kid.]

The turmoil in Lothric Village ended with Jin’s sighing and cursing.
