33. Hero Luna’s Awakening (6)
on the day of moving.
The Hero party moved busily and packed their belongings.
“The weight is minimal. Bring only what everyone needs. ”
“Yes, yes! All right, mister… !”
Hare nodded.
Come to think of it, Hare doesn’t have anything to take care of.
Since the first time I came, I came naked.
Hare will only pack the books and the regular clothes I bought for her.
While watching the Hero party pack their luggage in the living room.
Someone grabbed my sleeve.
“Luna?”
“I, there. mister? what is this now… ?”
“If you can’t see it, I’m packing my things to move.”
“Hey, are you moving? why?”
Luna’s blue eyes shone as if she didn’t understand.
If you tell me about the letter now, it’s obvious that there will be an uproar on the train.
I decided to just look around.
“House prices in the capital are expensive.”
“to?”
“Sell now and you can make a lot of profit.”
“Ah, Mister is more realistic than I thought… ”
As the saying goes, everything happens because of money.
It seems that Luna also agreed with the rough words.
I hung around near her and helped Luna pack.
Saten came out of the room carrying a small bag, as if she had finished her preparations.
“Saten, are you ready?”
“Yes, it is over. Can I give the bag to that kid named Hare over there?”
“… ? Why are you giving the bag to Hare?”
“Yeah, of course it is. The ‘servant’ has to carry the bag.”
“Hare is not a servant.”
Could it be that Hare started helping the kids recently, so they misunderstood Hare as an attendant?
Fortunately, there was no Hare nearby.
Saten tilted his head when he heard that Hare was not an attendant.
“Why? All the people who came out with such a low attitude were all servants. If so, shouldn’t that child named Hare also be a servant?”
“It’s a family story, it’s different here. Even if you come out low, your identity doesn’t really exist. It’s a matter of character.”
“… First off, I know.”
Saten didn’t like it.
He seemed to be determined to pick up the bag with his own hands.
“And, Saten. Wear a hoodie here. You can’t get other people’s attention.”
“Hmm, okay? Please make the hood black. I don’t wear anything other than black.”
Saten likes achromatic black color.
The eyes and ferocity were like a black cat.
When I told Saten to wait in the yard, Luna seemed to have finished preparing.
She left the room holding her bag in one hand and Estiya’s hand in the other.
“mister! I’m ready! Let’s go, Estia!”
“If you stay still, holy water will come down. If you stay still, holy water will come down. Holy water will come down if you stay still… ”
“… Uncle, is his condition strange?”
“Leave me alone and it will be fine.”
Put a white hood on Estiya.
He gave the hood to Luna and Hare as well.
And, since everyone is ready.
He said to those gathered in the yard.
“Okay then. Let’s go move.”
The first destination is the town of Aden.
The final destination is Henensia.
The back of the blackened pages.
Thinking about what the devil’s traces might have been.
I left the house I was fond of.
***
Train station in the capital city of Grancia.
Five people wearing hoods appeared.
1 adult and 4 girls.
The combination is quite unique.
“Hey, kids! I know that? You have to take off your shoes to get on the train! Didn’t everyone know?”
“… Really? Shi, you have to take off your shoes… ?”
“then! If you ride in shoes, the station attendant throws you outside while the train is running! really!”
… Luna is selling drugs.
Children who have never been on a train may be deceived.
I won’t be fooled, but what about the others…
I’ll have to watch it one more time without drying it.
“Hey, take off your shoes! Then you get kicked out?”
“Ah Okay. Ah, uncle. I’ll take those shoes off… ?”
“… I didn’t have to ask them all.”
Hare was tricked by Luna and took off her shoes.
It was the moment when the thief was deceived by the hero.
Luna giggled and laughed as she looked at Hare.
Luna’s next prey was Saten.
“Saten! you take it off too! You must not wear shoes on the train!”
“Why do I have to take my shoes off?”
“to… ?”
“I don’t want to take it off.”
“Yeah, the rules people set-”
“You don’t have to follow such rubbish rules. It’s not efficient and it’s savage. The station attendants just have to clean the floor, I don’t have to take my shoes off.”
“Ah Okay… Saten, don’t take your shoes off… ”
crumpled-
After losing to Saten, Luna lost her confidence.
It’s probably the feeling of facing a huge wall from her point of view.
Luna looked away from Saten.
Because there is still one left.
Luna said with a mischievous smile.
“Estiya! Unless you want to fall off the train! Wouldn’t it be better to take off your shoes right now?”
“no. You have to stay still. You have to stay still. Don’t do anything out of the ordinary. You must get holy water.”
“… Uncle, he is strange.”
“Leave it still.”
“… yes.”
Luna turns around in a sullen state.
No matter how hard Estiya is trying to get the holy water.
shouldn’t get in the way of that.
Estiya repeats the same words like a parrot.
Watching her quietly, the train moves using magic stones.
The magic train had arrived.
“Before getting on. Hare.”
“Yes, uncle… ?”
“Put on your shoes, Luna was lying.”
“Luna… lie… ?”
chill-
Hare looked at Luna with a cold gaze.
With those eyes that seemed to have lost their vitality, Luna said, ‘I’m sorry! Now, that was a joke!’ and got on the train quickly.
If it’s reconciled, it looks reconciled.
In fact, if you look inside, 2 people were kidnapped and 2 people were raised.
It was a very bizarre situation.
“Then everyone get on the train. Don’t make a fuss inside.”
“yes!”
“Oh okay. mister… !”
Only two people answer.
So we got on the train.
A disgusting reverberation on such trains.
‘Not today… Was it until yesterday? ‘
There was a strong smell of grimore bastards.
***
‘The move was made yesterday, not today.’
Fortunately, there were no major disturbances on the train.
Saten and Hare were busy putting their faces to the window and admiring the scenery outside.
Estiya just buried her head and muttered in a low voice.
And Luna, who was most excited before getting on…
“Uh, uh… OMG… iced coffee… save me… ”
It’s like having a nightmare.
He was sleeping with his head on my shoulder.
The room we were in was in the form of a room.
Fortunately, I did not feel the eyes of others.
Hare, who was admiring such a window, saw me and asked anxiously.
“Ah, uncle. I think your shoulder hurts… Shall I go next to Luna… ?”
“No, it’s fine. There is no need for that.”
“… Yes? If your uncle… I see… If you feel any pain, please tell me… I’ll take care of Luna… ”
Before Hare turned her head, she looked at Luna once.
I focused outside the window again.
A wide meadow spreads out, and a magic train moving at high speed.
Not long after, the train was able to reach the town of Aden.
“Everyone, don’t forget to pack your luggage.”
“Yes, yes!”
“yes.”
two people to answer.
And, the moment he tried to wake up Luna who had fallen asleep.
“Ugh, ah-!! Ah, what a nightmare-!!”
He woke up screaming to himself.
She caressed her cheek as if the sensation was strange.
He seemed to have no mind at all.
“Uh, uh… ? Oh, is it a dream… ? is not it… ?”
“Luna, wake up. Arrived at the village of Aden.”
“Ah, Aden Village?! Are you going to move to Aden Village?!”
“That’s not it, get out of the train and read it slowly.”
“to? This is a letter from the family!? Why are you giving me this now!”
As soon as I got out of the train, I handed Luna a letter.
At first, Luna thought it was a letter from her family and liked it.
However, when he saw the single sentence written on it, he immediately hardened his expression.
“Ah, uncle. Hopefully this… ”
“Yes, as expected. The Knights Templar investigation has been conducted, and your parents seem to have noticed that you are not in the Knights Templar.”
“Uh, uh… ? That shouldn’t be the case… ?! Well, I never wanted to make you worry… ”
squishy-
Luna bowed her head.
Was the hero bowing his head just for that reason?
I thought it was really pathetic.
“Then, let’s not worry about it.”
“how! You already knew everything!!”
“Hide information cleverly. It’s a call to spread lies on truthful information.”
“yes? What does that mean?”
As if Hare understood the meaning, ‘Put false information on truthful information… ‘ he muttered.
‘Luna, who has lived sincerely, doesn’t know the meaning of it.’
Giving Luna time to think, we left the train station and arrived at a small inn in the village of Aden.
I rented a huge family room that can accommodate 5 people, and after loosely unpacking my luggage, I told Luna.
“Did you understand what I mean?”
“No, I don’t understand when you say something like that!”
“… Luna, your words are not rice cakes. Be careful. you didn’t understand… ”
“Chi, it’s okay… ”
It’s understandable that you don’t understand.
So, I want to show Luna what it is like.
I just took her outside.
“Tell your family. The truth is, he wasn’t kidnapped, he was living as an ‘adventurer’.”
“… Are you adventurous?”
“Yeah, then you’re going to acknowledge the source of the money.”
“But adventurers must be concerned because it is dangerous… ”
“No, I don’t care. If you introduce me as a colleague and not a kidnapper.”
“ah-!!”
Luna sighs.
did you understand now
Luna clapped her hands and shouted.
“mister! Absolute genius… not! Me, I thought so too! Oh, you’re 10 seconds faster! I absolutely did not agree with you!”
“… ”
well, you know what to think
I ignored Luna’s words and started walking towards her house.
The address was written on the letter, so finding it was easy.
“ah! let’s go together… !! If I fall with you, I will really die… ! please come with me… !!”
Oh Do Do-
As if she couldn’t be separated from me, Luna hurriedly ran.
I laughed at Luna like that, but the more I walked forward, the more I couldn’t help but laugh.
The smell of the grimoire was getting much thicker.
‘This direction is Luna’s house… ‘
… Hope it’s not what I expected.
Walking along the farm road, I checked the sky.
Every time I went to Luna’s house, the black clouds increased.
“Hey, is it going to rain? A cloud suddenly appears?”
“… ”
Without saying anything, I sped up and headed for Luna’s house.
On a meadow far away, a single house remains.
There was nothing wrong with the appearance, but the smell of grimoires emanated from the inside.
I put my hand on the doorknob.
“Luna.”
“yes?”
“Turn your back.”
“yes? what is that-“
“I don’t say it twice. Please turn around.”
“Yes, yes!”
Luna immediately turned around.
… I hope nothing happened.
I knew that couldn’t be the case, but I opened the door to Luna’s house.
There was a bloody smell vibrating, and among several grimoire followers, a guy with a particularly strong demonic energy was visible.
That guy must be the demon king.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t the demon king I was looking for.
“Luna.”
“Yeah, why do you keep doing this, Mister!”
“… Even if you hear that strange noise, run away immediately.”
“Run away… ? what is that… ah?”
Luna finally looked back.
I saw the cruel scene behind my back.
The corpses of family members who were brutally murdered.
The interior of a mercilessly smashed house.
It was captured in blue eyes.
Luna could not accept reality, so she knelt down and shouted.
“Ahhh… Well, it can’t be… This is it… iced coffee… !! Oh, Dad-!! Oh, mama-!!”
“… ”
dump-
I wanted to comfort Luna, who was about to burst into tears.
However, the gaze inside me was too intense.
It was as if he was threatening me, as if he were asking me to come in right away.
I said firmly to Luna, who trembled and shouted no.
“Go away, Luna. This is not your place.”
The warrior must live.
So, I had to choose.
[…] Don’t sacrifice, Junwoo. It will definitely be painful. You can defeat the Demon King, but Jun-woo will die. But, but… Opportunity to choose… I’ll give. Because this is not our end… Because there is a warrior’s ‘up’… ]
[One. He hands the warrior over to the Grimore and runs away.]
[2. I fight the Demon King to give the hero time to escape.]
“You don’t even need to see one future.”
Even for the fight that would happen later, I had to look at the future two times.
A paper burning with black flames unfolded in front of my eyes.
…
Grimore and the crew were easy to deal with, but the Demon King was not easy.
It was difficult for any country to defeat the Demon King.
So, I chose
‘I can’t run away. can’t win As you know, our skills are similar.’
So, unless you’re willing to back down, you’re both bound to die.
In the end, I lost my life fighting the demon king.
That guy wasn’t killed with the holy sword, so he’ll be resurrected in 100 years…
I wasn’t
However, even after I died, the strange answer did not end there, and countless pages remained behind.
‘It’s not over… ‘
The future me muttered that and closed the page of life.
…
“Is this how it ends?”
Choice 2.
Responding to the demon king’s gaze, he entered the house.
Then, he tried to close the door so that Luna could not see.
After leaving her last words.
“Luna, when you open your eyes, explain the situation to me in detail.”
‘Cause this won’t be the end
Quang-
Closing the door, I stared at the man sitting in the chair, stepping on the corpses of Luna’s family.
A handsome man with red hair, no horns, and outwardly no different from a normal person.
He asked me with a smirk.
“Nice to meet you. Dog of the Goddess. Of course you know who I am, right?”
“…the demon king of greed ‘Grid’. You were the only one looking for a hero party, so you must be Grid.”
Grid replied with a grin.
“That’s right. Wait, you’re greedy too, Goddess’ dog. That’s why…”
I want you, so won’t you give your life to me?
The Demon Lord Grid of Greed.
He cried to me with greedy eyes.
There was only one thing I could give to him who was greedy.
“f*ck it.”
With Luna’s cry from outside.
The battle with the Demon King has begun.
