chapter 25
25. I Want to Escape… ? Can I help you… ? (One)
25. I want to escape… ? Can I help you… ? (One)
Hare has a weak heart.
If so, was Hare naturally weak in mind or was it acquired?
The answer lies in the latter.
Hare is the type who has acquired a weakened heart.
‘tt, he’s pretending to be too expensive. I think Ji is a princess.’
‘Live according to the theme. same garbage. He knows he’s not trash again.’
Behind the scenes of local women who work in brothels.
Hare could hear it even from a distance.
Due to his innate superiority in ‘sense’, he has excellent hearing and has lived with words that he does not need to hear.
‘I’m selling warm bread! Would you like some bread?’
‘tt, this must be a little hard to eat.’
Clearly, it was the expression on his face that he did not want to mix with me.
And, I was able to figure out whether people hated me or liked me.
Since no one in the world liked beggars, he could understand that everyone in the world hated him.
The innate ability bestowed upon Hare.
It was slowly killing her heart.
And now.
Hare realized that the moment had come to put that power to good use.
“You want to get out of here… ? Can I help you… ?”
– Uh, uh… ? will help me… ?
“Yeah, I’m Harley. I’ll help you get out.”
You may not be noticed by your uncle.
I can make the most of the information I got from my senses and escape as long as you leave the room.
‘And, if one disappears…’
If you reduce one competitor, your interest in me will increase.
If it is a very easy opponent, it would be right to send that child first.
‘Saten has no intention of going out, so I’ll just dry it out slowly and drive it out. Luna is an idiot, so it’s okay to leave it alone.’
I don’t like being clinging to you often, but…
Still, it’s not bad if it’s Luna.
‘If I could export it, I would like to…’
Hare had finished organizing his thoughts.
In order to put it into practice, all we had to do was wait for a response from the person concerned.
Estiya’s answer was right there.
Estiya, who was in silence, asked suspiciously.
-… will you let me go? how?
“My, I know you well.”
-… How well do you know?
“He wakes up at 6:30 am and goes to the bathroom right away. It takes about 13 minutes. Then, after lightly washing her face, she headed to the kitchen. They prepare breakfast there, chop vegetables, and-”
-Ah Okay. only there. Okay. I understand.
Estiya had never seen the face of the girl across the door.
However, it was scary for some reason, and it gave me goosebumps.
-Who remembers life patterns so creepily… ?
“… what?”
– Oh, nothing.
When you go out, don’t make eye contact.
Estiya instinctively sensed it.
However, Estiya’s question was still unanswered.
-Yeah, let’s say we know him well. What are you going to do next? If you know, it’s not over. He said electricity was flowing through the barbed wire of the fence. There’s no way out.
Oh, did I say something clever?
After finishing the conversation, Estiya felt something satisfied.
Although the name “oppa” was offensive to Hare, I decided to answer her words for now.
I had to end the conversation before my uncle noticed.
“… There is a way out.”
-What?
“The front door is locked so you can’t get out. Instead, you just have to cross the fence.”
-So, there’s electricity on that fence-
“There’s a button to turn it off… You can turn it off… ”
When the button is pressed, no current flows through the top chain.
I saw you push the button, so if you steal it and open Estiya’s door…
“You can go out.”
-Oh oh… If you escape, I’ll give you a box of holy water! you are good!
Hare’s confident declaration.
Estiya sensed hope in her voice.
***
hmmm.
Is this enough?
“You won’t have to study letters from now on, Hare.”
“Yes, already… ?”
not like that
Hare had already learned all the letters, and there were no letters he could not read.
If, as it were, continue to study letters with Hare…
‘If there are 10 more questions piled up, I might find out everything about myself.’
Hare got 6 at once.
That was an unexpected result.
to prevent that from happening again.
Starting next week, it seemed good to teach Hare about the dagger technique.
‘In that sense… ‘
I approached Hare who was holding a book and asked.
“Anyway, do you have any questions for me?”
“Uh, does that mean you should use the question ticket…? ?”
“… If you don’t want to write, you don’t have to.”
“Oh no! I’ve prepared it, so it’s good to do it now… !”
Ready.
slurp-
Hare pulled out a piece of paper from under the desk.
There were a total of 5 questions in it.
‘… How many times did you rewrite it?’
Although there were only 5 questions written down.
The paper was scrawled with letters.
Hare held the question paper in his hand and began to ask me questions.
“What is your favorite food, Uncle?”
“food? If alcohol is included, it is alcohol.”
“Ummm, alcohol… I don’t like it when you drink… ”
Hare looked like he didn’t like it.
Then, he looked down and started asking the next question.
“My uncle has been in a relationship before… ?”
“… love? Are you curious about that?”
“Yeah, I’m curious… ”
Hare covered her face with the question paper.
It looked embarrassing.
‘… I’ve been dating before I fell into this world.’
When I was a kid.
I tried it when I was in high school.
I was worried about whether I should treat it as love.
If I had to answer.
“I have done it before.”
“… okay.”
… Not a good reaction.
Hare’s tone of answer was locked.
However, the gloomy feelings were short-lived.
She continued to ask.
“then. Who is the best out of the 4 of us… ?”
“… ”
I couldn’t answer that question hastily.
It is not very wise to answer the question who is the best.
Even though there are standards, it is an act of ranking.
And, if it was Hare who had feelings for me, it would have been better not to answer any more.
It would be best to turn around.
“I liked them all.”
“… Let’s move on to the next question. Do you have any plans for this evening… ?”
“I have a promise. We’re going to be out for an hour or so.”
Promise I’ll just answer a question.
Why did you use the questionnaire at such an important moment?
It was a bit disappointing to say that it was a clever act of Hare.
And, the long-awaited last question.
Hare, who had only one question left, asked the last question.
“In that frame. Who is the woman who looks close to you… ?”
“… ”
she.
She could be called a teacher, and she treated me special.
I’m not in the world right now, but if I were to answer her honestly…
“Nerdia Aina. My colleague, teacher and friend.”
and.
“It’s the person I loved.”
Hare covered his face with a piece of paper, so he couldn’t see his expression.
However, he seemed to know without looking.
that she is in pain.
“Is that a good enough answer?”
“… ok, it’s ok, sir. I’m done… ”
I hurt Hare, for the proper distance.
***
– Harley. I’ll go out for a while. Rest in peace.
“… ”
Hare did not respond to his uncle’s words for the first time.
Quang-
The front door was closed.
Hare had to work to get Estiya out now.
But, I didn’t want to move.
“Upset… ”
I don’t feel good.
Upset.
My chest keeps stinging.
When Hare heard that his uncle had loved him, he couldn’t get better until he felt better.
Something…
“I feel like I have been stolen… ”
I learned that love is beautiful.
Why does uncle love feel bad?
No matter how smart Harera was, she still couldn’t figure out the true nature of my emotions.
I was young and lacked education.
Hare, who lay in bed like that for a while, spent a futile time.
she suddenly realized
“Oh right. Uncle is gone… ? City, I don’t have time… ”
Hey, I really need to move now.
We need to get the other kids out of the house quickly.
I don’t need other kids.
I don’t need this house.
Hare opened the door and headed to the living room.
He already knew the location of the key to lock Luna’s room and the electric button on the fence.
“Your uncle always went to Luna’s room and made the sound of lifting the sofa… It’s under the sofa… ”
Surely he would have been here.
Hare leaned over and looked under the sofa.
‘found.’
I found a switch with a key and a square button.
Hare held it in her hand and headed to Luna’s room.
However, the problem started now.
“Security is an issue… ”
there is a door
You have to use the key to open it.
You have to use magic to open it.
Remove the hook that holds the door in place.
“…easy but difficult.”
Once the key was used to open the door, it was possible.
It was very easy.
The biggest problem is magic.
The magic that fixed the door was the problem.
‘… I can’t use magic, to fix this…’
I hate it, but I can’t help it.
I had no choice but to ask her.
“… satin. Help me.”
“Why should I do that? It’s annoying.”
I really hate working with him…
Still, I can’t help it.
You have to do it for your uncle.
If this is the case, Saten will also be able to cooperate.
Hare confidently shouted to Saten.
“… I’m going to get the other kids out. I need your help.”
“Why do I have to do that? It interferes with reading books. go away.”
“… Do you want to learn magic from your uncle? In that case, it would be more efficient to kick them out.”
“Hmm, that doesn’t sound bad for an insect. it’s efficient Say it once.”
If you send two people out.
The interest of those two will naturally turn to us.
If you do, you will have more time to learn magic.
Saten pondered the reasonable proposal.
“The benefits of doing it are greater than the benefits of not doing it.”
Saten who moves extremely calculatedly.
Without thinking for a long time, she got up and headed to Luna’s room.
Taking a closer look at the door, he cut off his wrist and splashed blood on the door.
even cried
“With blood as nourishment, break the barrier.”
Clang-!
With the sound of something breaking, the barrier that secured the door disappeared.
At that moment, the door opened and Luna and Estiya appeared.
Estiya shouted while enjoying the freedom.
“haha-!! Thank you Goddess-!! I will come and pray for you! Glory be to heaven-!!”
However, unlike the excited Estiya, Luna’s expression did not look happy.
Rather, it seemed to bother him.
Luna cautiously spoke to Hare.
“… Hare. me, i won’t go I don’t think this is a bit.”
“What’s wrong, Luna… ? You always wanted to go out… ”
Saten was breaking the chains on his legs with blood magic.
However, Luna had no intention of leaving the room.
The reason was not because I liked this room, but for another reason.
“My, I can’t get out of here! The money support will be cut off for the family!”
It was for practical reasons.
Support for families is cut off.
That means that families living in the countryside are starving to death.
‘With my family… I have to protect my brothers… I’m the eldest daughter in the family… ‘
Responsibilities as the eldest daughter in the family.
Luna couldn’t take a single step out of the room.
In the meantime, time passes, and the uncle will be back soon.
‘… Luna will be fine. Yes, it’s okay if you don’t kick me out… ‘
Later, when they kicked them all out and became three.
then kick it out
In the end, Hare decided to give up.
Saten and Luna go back to their rooms, and Estiya is left with her hands shaking as if she’s worried about something.
Hare ordered her to follow.
“… Follow. I’ll let you escape.”
“Uh, uh yeah… ! But does it look less scary than you thought? He looks cute with pink hair-”
“… what?”
chill-
Hare glared at Estiya with her red eyes shining.
In addition to the uncle’s truth, the current situation was not good because the plan kept going wrong.
The glass mentality was gradually beginning to crack.
Estiya sighed in surprise.
“Oh, no~ It’s nothing~ Ta, should I escape~?”
Estiya followed after Hare, whistling.
They went through the stairs, through the living room, and then to the front door.
Open the door and go out to the yard.
In the yard, there was a high iron fence and a barbed wire with magical power above it.
Hare looked at it and pressed the button.
beep-
Then the current stopped, leaving only a sharp barbed wire fence.
“… You just have to go up there and escape.”
“Why did this brother make the fence so high! I have absolutely no athletic ability!”
“… I’ll put it up.”
Hare felt worse.
She lifted Estiyah’s body and raised her to the fence.
Hare said the process was very difficult.
‘Wow, it’s heavy… ‘
It was difficult for Hare, who had no muscle in the first place.
However, how to do it.
Hare squeezed her suckling strength and raised Estiya to that height.
The distance that Estiya would reach if she reached out.
“Tae, it’s an escape… !!”
Estiya reached the edge of the fence and gradually climbed up towards the top of the barbed wire.
The barbed wire was sharp and painful, but it didn’t matter to Estiya.
‘If I go out, I will drink holy water… !!’
Because it was clear what you wanted.
Was it possible to demonstrate superhuman powers?
Eventually she climbed over the barbed wire and regained her freedom.
He even shouted loudly.
“haha-!! Escape! escape! Sado oppa is now dead~ How many of our paladins are there! A total of over 800 paladins from the church are dispatched! haha-!!”
“uh… ?”
What did you just say… ?
Paladin… ?
Killing uncle… ?
Hare asked if he had heard anything wrong.
“Bah, what did you just say… ? How do you do uncle… ?”
“Of course you have to scold me! No matter how much you are an apostle of the Goddess, kidnapping is a sin. You must be punished! That’s what our paladins will do for you! was it hare? Don’t worry too much! You will come to the rescue too! Hi-Hi-!!”
Estiya shouted happily.
However, her voice was no longer heard by Hare.
‘My, I made a mistake… If you take it out… City, I didn’t know the report was coming in… ‘
stupid
Idiot.
I shouldn’t have made this mistake…
Hare patted her head.
Nevertheless, the situation has not changed, so I thought of how to change this situation.
Ironically, the key was right next to Hare.
‘… If the information doesn’t leak out, it’s not a crime.’
Because people knew, sin became sin.
‘Without an eyewitness, a sin is not a sin.’
button.
when current flows.
Uncle may not die.
Instead, that child will die…
‘it’s okay. It’s better than having you die… ‘
Yes, people die, but it’s okay…
For the sake of you, Hare will always be a bad boy…
Hare put her finger on the button.
Give it a little bit of force, and that child dies.
no?
You can save your uncle.
It’s not about killing that Estiya, it’s a chance to save you.
‘You are more important to me. Without you in the world, I have no reason to live.’
my savior
No one else can ever hurt you.
Hare has already finished rationalizing her own.
Hare tried to force the finger above the button.
That moment.
A cold male voice came from behind her.
“Hare, what’s going on with this now?”
“Ah, uncle… ? Uh, why are you here… ?”
The voice of the old man who seemed to run away from afar and seemed exhausted.
The uncle looked away, grasping the situation.
At the end of that gaze, Hare’s hand.
Hare’s hand was caught trying to press a button with a current flowing through it.
“Ah, ah ah… Mister, that’s not it… I, I’m not-!!”
“…I think I need some explanation. Hare.”
“…”
Hare became a bad boy right in front of his uncle.
I felt like I wanted to die right now.
