The Villain Changed the Ending

030 We are friends

*****[Plain Goruka]*****

kid?

The first thing that caught Goruka’s eyes was a child standing in front.

My sister’s husband, Martin, was also behind him, but his consciousness didn’t go that far and stopped at the child.

The air shakes.

It felt like light was dancing around the small child.

‘What, what is this.’

After coming to the kingdom, he saw many beautiful things, but that was all.

It was dazzling and pitiful that it was different from the grassland in many ways, but I did not sympathize with it deeply in my heart.

‘But this child…’

The energy of the earth emanates from this little child.

Goruka looked at the child as if possessed.

The silvery hair was sprinkled with twinkling lights.

‘It’s the moon’s hair.’

It’s not just the color.

The power was there.

Every single strand of hair, along the white skin, every twinkle of the turquoise eyes, contains the breath of the earth.

It is as if an earth fairy has appeared in this world in the form of a human.

[oh my god. To say that there is such a person… This is… like the son of the moon from the legend. No, it can’t be.]

This child is a human from a kingdom, not a meadow.

He cannot be the son of the moon.

Goruka suddenly muttered and shook her head.

Those who become warriors in the people of the steppe are those who have the energy of the earth in their bodies.

Being born a man did not make everyone a warrior.

This is because you must have the energy of the earth to borrow the power of the wind when shooting your bow.

Without the power of the wind, the arrows would fall short of flight and have little power.

It might be able to kill a wolf, but it wouldn’t be able to penetrate the beast’s thick skin.

Goruka has the energy of the earth strong enough to be ranked high among the tribal warriors.

So even though he was still young, he had the right to speak as a warrior and was able to come alone to the kingdom that was considered dangerous.

But compared to this little kid, it’s insignificant.

I knew it was just shabby like dust.

‘This child is too strong. It has the protection of the earth stronger than anyone else in the plains.’

An overwhelming force stood in front of me.

Instinctive fear drained strength from the waist.

But he is a warrior of the steppe.

You cannot curl up your tail like a runaway dog.

“Suck!”

Goruka breathed in and gathered the energy of the earth in her arms and legs.

Legs tremble a little.

But for the first time in this kingdom, he realized that he was still a warrior.

A warrior is one who becomes strong to protect his family.

‘Boldly.’

Even if any strong person comes out in front of us, we must stand proudly and claim the share that our tribe should have.

A feeling of pressure that was stronger than when I met the Witchbeast in the meadow filled the room.

*****[Oscar, the main character]*****

The grassland tribes were a race that seemed to mix Asians with Westerners.

Its size is slightly smaller than that of the kingdom people.

The contours of the face were more distinct than those of common Asians.

In a way, it seems that modern Asians have undergone a bit of plastic surgery.

Other than that, I was like an Asian.

Black hair, black eyes, light skin resembling sunlight, unlike white Caucasians.

It’s been a long time since I see someone similar to my previous life.

I felt a sense of longing for some reason.

But the face of the boy who saw me hardened.

Stretch your arms and slightly clench your fists.

huh? Why are you suddenly fighting?

did i do something

Did something touch the steppe taboo?

Or did I ask for a duel or something without knowing it?

I looked at Martin a little puzzled.

But Martin doesn’t seem to know why either.

He was making a puzzled expression.

The interpreter at the door cried out to the boy, sweating profusely.

“#, ####!”

It is the word of the steppe people.

I don’t know what it means, but it must be something like stern, or bow your head.

“Shut up. I left the translation to Martin.”

I glared at the interpreter, and he bowed his head with a white face.

“I’m sorry. Duke.”

“You guys don’t care, stay back.”

“…that, it is.”

“Go, Duke.”

The civil servants and interpreters wept.

The kingdom’s officials and interpreters are in charge of entertaining the grassland tribes, but at the same time, they also have a role to report when there is something important in the grassland tribes’ words and actions.

If they intend to do their duty properly, they should not back down just because the duke says something.

However, a person with such a strong work ethic would not have treated the steppe people in this way.

“Can’t you hear me!”

When I let go of the threat, the faces of the two turned red.

“Ah, I see.”

“Sin, sin, sorry.”

The kingdom official and interpreter were forced to withdraw to the outer periphery of the room.

This room where Goruka is staying is quite large.

The conversation in Goruka’s presence would not be heard by the two of them.

If that’s the case, maybe it’s because I’m in this room.

‘If there are officials like that in the duchy, I’ll cut them all off.’

Thinking so, I turned around and walked towards the boy.

The boy’s face became more tense.

I could see the strength going into his clenched fist.

‘Why is that?’

I was a little nervous, but I opened my mouth with a friendly smile.

[hello. I am the Duke of Weiss, Oscar.]

There is no such thing as a peacock among the steppe tribes.

For that reason, the word duke is a kingdom word.

Everything else was a steppe language.

The boy widened his eyes.

Her lips, which had been tightly closed, opened and she seemed confused and embarrassed.

Oh, nice. I was properly greeted.

It seemed that he knew that I had no hostility.

It seems that they are still nervous, but the atmosphere that seemed like they were going to fight right away has disappeared.

I moved a little closer and put my arms out next to each other.

Now it’s the other person’s turn to answer.

The boy’s angular shoulders dropped slightly, and his black eyes looked straight at me.

[I am Goruka, a warrior of the Red Hawk tribe.]

Goruka took a step in front of me and said.

Since I had heard this reply from Martin beforehand, the boy’s words came to my ears at once.

‘It was good.’

Goruka lowered herself to grab each other’s arms.

Due to the large height difference, Goruka almost knelt down.

‘Sorry for being a small child.’

Goruka reached out and grabbed my arm in the same motion as mine.

“!”

That was the moment.

Something like electric current tingled my skin.

When I looked at Goruka with a surprised face, the boy looked at me strangely.

“### #### ####?”

Martin came closer and spoke in a low voice.

“I’m asking why the energy of the earth hits you.”

“Aura of the Earth?”

Seeing Goruka’s face without knowing what he meant, the boy tilted his head.

Martin had a long conversation with the boy and looked at me.

“Duke, I didn’t know much about it until now because I’ve never personally seen steppes hunting or fighting, but they say they shoot arrows using the energy of the earth.”

Unlike normal arrows, arrows wrapped in the energy of the earth can easily pierce thick monster skin and iron plates.

The warriors of the steppes are few in number, but they all have such power.

And according to Goruka’s words, it seems that there are a lot of the energy of the earth in my body.

‘The energy of the earth they are talking about, is it magical power?’

If there’s something in my body, it’s probably magical power.

I continued to practice circulating my body’s mana.

When I sleep, when I eat, when I have time, I do it in my spare time.

Then, maybe Goruka recognized it.

However, it wasn’t that I was using my magical powers in particular.

I couldn’t understand what Goruka was talking about, colliding with magic power.

But later, when the grasslands invaded the kingdom, the reason why the capital was swept away was understood.

‘I see… they were using their magic power in battle.’

Other than making fire like a clown, blowing flowers, and using it for entertainment like that, it’s a much smarter use than a kingdom that uses wizards to dig and stir the soil at best.

But what I don’t know is that the magical energy from my body is hitting him.

I didn’t do anything.

After saying that with a troubled expression, Goruka, who heard Martin’s interpretation, nodded with an ah.

He smiled, revealing a little bit of it.

And speaks to me in the kingdom language.

“You’re young. Child, you’re clumsy.”

“…”

Does that mean that I’m not good at handling magical powers because I’m a child?

Martin was slightly taken aback by Goruka’s words.

There is no one in the kingdom who can openly say to the duke that Aida is clumsy.

But I am not offended that the facts have been pointed out.

‘If it’s true.’

actually thirty

older than that boy

But when I heard that I was clumsy, I became a little discouraged.

Goruka laughed briefly and lowered herself to look into my face.

“Oscar! I, teach. I, good teacher.”

Goruka put a hand on his chest and lowered his head slightly.

“## ##, #### ## ### #### ###.”

Martin interpreted Goruka’s words with a soft expression.

“The duke is said to be a beautiful child of moonlight. I am happy to be able to help the child of the moon.”

It would be really helpful if you could learn how to handle the magic of the grasslands.

[Thank you, Goruka.]

When I spoke in the steppe language, Goruka smiled happily, showing her teeth.

He seems very happy to hear me talking about the meadow and saying hello to the meadow.

After that, we stretched out our arms again and pulled ourselves together to finish the greeting we couldn’t finish just a moment ago.

I looked straight at Goruka.

“I want to have friendly relations with the Red Hawk Clan. I want Oscar and Goruka to be friends, not the kingdom, and our dukedom and the Red Hawk Clan. Not in a hierarchical relationship, but between each other as equals.”

As Martin translated, Goruka sticks out her chest and puts on a stern expression.

“The Red Hawk Tribe said they came because they have an issue to claim their legitimate rights to the king of the kingdom. Until that issue is resolved, they say that they cannot establish friendly relations with the tribe, even if they don’t know about personal exchanges.”

I already heard from Martin and Benno why Goruka came.

I nodded.

“It’s as you say, Goruka. I didn’t get involved, but obviously the kingdom didn’t fulfill its promise in good faith. But you don’t know much about the kingdom, and you don’t speak very well. You’ll have a lot of trouble dealing with it alone. “

Waiting for Martin to translate, I spoke again.

“Our ducal family would like to provide you with an interpreter and a civil servant knowledgeable in the law.”

What I meant, Martin explained to Goruka in detail.

You don’t know much about the kingdom, so you’ll have a lot to explain.

Goruka asked, Martin answered, and while the conversation continued, I glanced around the corner of the room.

The kingdom civil servant and interpreter were looking this way restlessly.

When our eyes met, the two lowered their heads hurriedly.

He probably couldn’t hear our conversation, but he must have realized that the atmosphere was strange.

face is pale

After hearing the explanation, Goruka slightly bowed her head toward me.

“Thank you. Tribal chief, ask me. But I, Goruka, are your friends.”

Tribal friendship means that you should ask the chief.

But Goruka himself becomes my friend.

I bowed my head just like he did.

[thank you. I, Oscar, are your friends.]

When I speak in the steppe language, Goruka smiles brightly.

he took my hand

“My friend, first class. Feel it.”

The moment he said that, he felt a slight flow in Goruka’s hand.

it is mana

But it was different from Mr. Sven’s.

Sven-sensei put magic into my hand and made me feel the warm heat, but Goruka sent magic as if gliding over my skin.

It seems to be the wind, but it is somehow strange.

It moves the air like the wind, but somehow Goruka’s mana felt like it was pressing against my skin.

and weak

It seems that it is weaker than Sven’s magical power.

‘hmm….’

Can you catch an arrow and pierce an iron plate with this magical power?

It’s kind of subtle.

‘But if I could really shoot such a strong arrow with this much magical power.’

Then, how powerful are those with more magical powers?

For some reason, my heart skipped a beat.
