chapter 25
25 . Helga, the beginning of pain (2) *
As she soaked her body in a hot bath, she sighed as she looked up at the sky embroidered with stars that were about to pour down.
His body, immersed in the heat, was hot enough to burn red, but his head was colder than ever.
Helga’s existence itself was a burden to me. She was the one with the least conversation at the party in the first place, so I couldn’t understand it all the more. Why did she say such harsh words to me when she didn’t even know each other properly?
Moreover, she didn’t have much contact with Leon. Just whenever she is bored, whenever her body wants it, she goes into Leon’s quarters and screams a female voice mixed with s*xuality and mixes only her body. As I watched from the side, there was no love affair between the two. While they were eating rice cakes without any emotions mixed in, there must have been affection that came from mixing their bodies, but she didn’t seem to have any kind of affection for Leon.
When I went back to her room, I was able to get out of the bath only after organizing everything I wanted to say to her, including what to say, what to curse in front of her face, why the hell did she do that to me.
After putting on the soft cloth clothes that are provided as standard at her inn, Helga went into her room where she was resting.
In the brightly lit room, I stared at Helga lying on the bed.
I didn’t really want to, but when Rihanna insisted that she needed something to calm her down or subdue her if she was going to talk to her properly, she couldn’t help but push her away. Tied To Her Bed
Of course, I did not tie it down, but Rihanna herself, who brought her words out, took action.
Seeing her tied up like this made me feel a little relieved.
If Helga’s eyes run wild and she pours out her anger on me, she’s just not strong enough to subdue me alone as a weak, ordinary human.
Helga woke up and was staring straight at me with her bloodshot eyes.
I dragged a chair next to her, sat down, and asked a hint.
“Are you awake?”
It was too much for me to even say that one word.
There were still a lot of things I wanted to ask her, but it’s like this from the beginning.
But Helga, as if not wanting to talk, quickly turned her eyes away from me, looked only behind the door I came through, and screamed.
“It’s a bad greeting, and alcohol… ! Bring a drink quickly… !”
I was embarrassed. I knew she liked to drink, but I’d never seen her screaming for a drink like this.
The appearance of only looking for alcohol, it would be impossible to communicate.
As she wished, I went down to the first floor, begged for forgiveness, brought a bottle of strong liquor, and bit her snout roughly.
A chug, Helga’s lips writhed, and her throat twitched at the same time as the drink began to go down rapidly.
Having finished her bottle in the blink of an eye, Helga turns her head and bangs! She threw the bottle she was holding onto the floor.
The bottle fell to the floor and turned into pieces with a sharp sound. Even though Helga gave her a drink as she wished, she looked dissatisfied.
Rather, it seems that the condition has worsened more than before.
“No… This is not it!”
After her words, Helga moved her limbs wildly.
Knock! Rattle! Her bed rocked her up and down, and the chains that bound her seemed like they would break at any moment.
It is dangerous at this rate.
“Helga! Calm down a little!”
In a rather rough way, I climbed on top of her, pressed my forearms down her neck, and grabbed her wrists.
Helga’s body shuddered as if in a seizure, and with the sound of her breath passing, she finally calmed down a bit.
I carefully lifted her forearm from her neck and checked her condition.
Helga muttered to me in a quieter voice than before, but with a certain insanity.
“Quickly… Bring those elves back soon… !”
A terrible, tearing voice that I haven’t heard since I met Helga.
More than that, elves, aren’t our daughters the only elves in this situation?
I frowned slightly, as if wondering, and Helga burst into laughter.
She was the complete opposite of her grotesque smile that seemed to have been lifted from the bottom of hell, a refreshing smile that always made people feel better.
Overwhelmed by the madness, I couldn’t say anything and could only stare blankly at Helga.
Helga, who had barely stopped laughing, gave me a sinister smile.
“What? You still don’t know the nature of those elves? You are so pitiful To live in a false relationship for the rest of your life and die.”
Nature?
I couldn’t understand.
As I frowned and looked at her in silence, Helga added her explanation.
“It’s the elf you live with who made me like this. It’s better not to trust that trash too much.”
Did you even think of an old friendship? Helga addressed her words as if giving me advice, but she didn’t intend to listen.
“Really?”
Helga looked flustered when I showed aloofness. Isn’t it natural? The party members I went on an adventure with for only two years, the children I raised with all kinds of affection and love for four years, which is twice as long, of course I have no choice but to believe in the latter.
“I don’t believe what you say in the first place, and even if it were true, wouldn’t you be complaining to me about what you did to my daughter for abandoning me? You don’t have any sympathy, do you?”
Helga let out her sneer and clicked her tongue in amazement.
“Ha, you and Rihanna are the same. In the meantime, what did the elves do to their heads to show such a favorable attitude? Well, I understand. It’s only natural that a guy like you who’s never hugged a woman can’t come to his senses if he’s talking to four elves….”
I couldn’t allow more than that.
Seeing this guy and that guy treating my daughter like a prostitute, the resentment I had been holding back welled up.
Other people might not know it, but insulting my daughter, who was like my life, was the same as denying my life.
I raised her fist high and slammed it straight into Helga’s muzzle, screaming at her.
“Shut up your mouth!”
Jump!
It’s not the first time I’ve hit a person, but it’s the first time I’ve hit a woman.
She doesn’t fall into the category of ordinary women, but she was a woman with breasts and p*ssy.
An unpleasant sensation spread through her knuckles and through her body.
Thanks to her long life as a porter, she prides herself on having stronger muscles than normal people, but Helga didn’t seem to have taken any blows from my fists.
She even had the illusion that my hand hurt more when I hit her.
Helga’s cracked lips were bleeding, but she didn’t mind and smiled pleasantly.
“Ah, that’s good. If I can’t get drunk, I’d rather suffer this way. Because my head is ringing, the bad memories disappear at least.”
I don’t know what it means to be unable to get drunk, but it gives me goosebumps. Chicken skin sprouted on her body, and before I knew it, I pulled away from Helga.
Helga begged me, wriggling with an eerie gesture as if she were looking at her caterpillar.
“What are you doing? Do you want to hit more? Why? Is this a good opportunity? You hit me to soothe the pain of the day I was betrayed, and I can forget the memories that haunt me by being beaten by you. No matter how you think about it, do you see it as a mutual benefit?”
Her true nature, which she had been trying to hide by borrowing her drunkenness, was being revealed at the bottom like her abyss.
I assure you, hitting her won’t make her feel better.
Even now, rather than the pleasure she got from beating her, she could clearly feel only the pain left in her hand.
She couldn’t bear to open her mouth.
When I didn’t respond, Helga looked up at her ceiling again and muttered,
“I can’t be without alcohol…. The dead I’ve killed in the meantime… You’re coming to kill me again… Look, he’s still staring at me from there.”
As if Helga really saw something, she began to shiver with her frightened gestures.
Her mood completely changed in a moment, and Helga seemed unable to talk to her anymore.
The worries I kept thinking about in the bathroom disappeared.
Even though I was tied up, I was completely caught up in Helga’s face.
She didn’t get any of the answers she wanted, but she got up and said bitterly.
“I’ll come back later…. Then it won’t end like it is now. Properly, I must tell you the truth of the day.”
There was only one thing I wanted from Helga. Why did she kick me out that day?
That question still lingered in the center of my head and haunted me from time to time.
When I got up, Helga yelled at me again.
“Wait!”
Since her energy was completely drained, her voice came to me quite differently when I was unguarded.
She slumped in her seat as if she had heard the roar of a beast.
Helga shot her words out quickly, staring straight into my face with quivering eyes.
“Huh? Are you going this way? Leave me in the dark? You are, in the end, just like everyone else. Yes, just like everyone else who takes what they want from me and then throws it away without regret!”
I felt the fear of the unknown when I first saw Helga as she uttered her gibberish in her madness.
She was honestly scared. I wasn’t the only one staying at this inn, and there was nothing good about provoking Helga right now. The moment the complaint came in and the hostess came to check her room, we were done.
The woman with her arms and legs tied to her bed was not confident enough to excuse the sight of her blood streaming from the corner of her mouth.
Wanting to avoid being dragged away by the guards, she got up and began to sneak behind her, but Helga reacted even more violently when she saw me.
“Don’t go… Don’t go Ain…. Huh? I’ll do anything for you as long as you tell the elves and get rid of the curse on me. Please don’t leave me like this Oh, are you going to tell the elves now? Right? Ain is also I believed in you from the beginning.”
I saw her like that and bit her lip.
And very carefully, letter by letter, I conveyed my intention clearly and clearly.
“I’m sorry, Helga, but I won’t do your favor. I can’t believe my kids did that to you, and I have no reason to do you any favors.”
Helga, who was holding her neck stiffly, loses her momentum.
Ironically, she was more distraught when she was sober than when she was drunk.
Still, it seemed that he had finally calmed down, so I swept my chest, turned off the lights, and said my final goodbyes.
“Let’s talk again tomorrow. I have nothing else to say now.”
As she put her hand on her doorknob, the faint voice of Helga reached her ear.
“… Are you?”
“What?”
Eyes clearly visible even in the dark, Helga pulled out her last resort as if she had lost her mind.
“If you want, you can use my body however you like… please….”
