After a moment of astonishment, I entered my room.
My small room, which contained a soft bed and a small wardrobe, was also covered in dust.
I have to clean up.
I emptied my travel bag, put it on the bed, and then left the room.
Lloyd and Dabin were checking the inside of the house here and there.
Dabin said, furrowing her eyebrows:
“This place is strange.”
Is the sight of the house so shocking to the nobles?
I said with confusion:
“Aha ha, it's pretty narrow and old, right?”
“No, that's not what I mean.”
Lloyd's face became more serious.
This time, Dabin spoke while touching the walls:
“It is an energy that I feel for the first time. What is this? Mana? But it is very pure. Holy energy? No, but it seems strongly condensed.”
While Dabin was muttering and examining things, Lloyd asked me:
“Don't you feel this energy?”
energy?
All I could smell in this house was the suffocating smell of dust.
“You mean the smell of dust?”
“This amount of dust is nothing compared to the ‘Asinta’ dungeon. There has been accumulating dust for five hundred years.”
Dabin pulled me while screaming:
“Let's get out of here first, Kai! We'll have dinner at a restaurant.”
Upon hearing Dabin's words, Lloyd muttered alone:
“I have to find a place to stay.”
I turned off the lights and locked the door with the key, then went out with the twins to eat dinner.
We ordered food at a restaurant that Dabin chose, but the food never went down my throat.
I put the spoon down and started watching people from the window.
Where are my friends?
At that moment, a person with a very familiar appearance passed among the passers-by.
“Bri?”
I suddenly got up.
"Oh? Where are you going?"
“Just a minute! I forgot the money at home.”
For just a moment!”
“Kai, I have a lot of money! There’s no need for that!”
I left Dabin and Lloyd screaming behind me and ran outside.
Where did you go? She definitely passed by here.
Far away, on the road leading to my house, I saw a woman dressed as a healer.
Imperial, with tightly tied gray hair. I ran towards her.
Wild? Is this wild?
I ran until I reached the building where I live, but I did not find any trace of Bree.
“Heh… heh heh.”
Looks like I'm completely crazy. I see illusions.
As I looked at my attic room in despair...
“Oh?”
The lights were on in my high attic room.
I turned it off before I left, of course!
“Brie? Is that Bree?”
I quickly opened the door of the house.
And at that moment.
“Oh!”
Someone came out of the door suddenly and collided with me forcefully.
I held my aching head and looked in front of me, and found Zaad, who had previously escaped from Lloyd, holding his stomach and groaning.
“Uh… Zad?”
“Oh, Senior Kai. Are you okay?”
Zad ran towards me anxiously as he saw that I was wiping my head.
“I'm fine.”
While I was wiping my head, I suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Wait a minute, this is my house, why do you leave it?
I looked at him suspiciously.
“Anyway, this is my house, what are you doing here?”
Zad replied while scratching his head:
“Ah, Big Bree came back, and I was on my way out after I reported to her.”
“Brie? Is Bree here?”
I was astonished when I heard his words.
“Yes, it is at the top...”
I felt relieved when I heard his answer.
Wild is here! Wow.
Yes, it is impossible for Bree to disappear, she has a very strong sacred energy.
If Bree comes back, maybe others will too.
Zad looked around with fear and said:
“By the way, that terrifying person who was with you is not here now.”
I felt sorry for Zad.
He was threatened and intimidated just for talking to me.
“Oh, yeah. I came first because I have work. I’m really sorry about earlier.”
Zad answered with a cheerful face as if the matter was simple:
“It's okay. It happens sometimes.”
“Then I will go up first.”
“Yes! Big Bree will wait for you.”
I waved my hand at him and quickly went up the stairs.
When I arrived, I found the door of the house wide open.
Really, this girl didn't even close the door.
“Bree!”
I shouted as I entered.
But…
“Oh…?”
Even though the lights were on, I found no trace of Bree anywhere.
At that moment, a shiver ran through my body.
What did he mean by Zad a while ago?
I remembered what he said when I met him the first time:
°Is the treatment center going well? How is Bree?°
°Yes, big one! Miss Bree is impatiently awaiting your return!°
Of course, Zad claimed that Berri, who was on the missing persons list, was fine.
Why did he lie like that?
At that moment.
“I'm sorry. Actually, Miss Bree is not here.”
I heard Zad's voice from behind me.
I felt so terrified.
Every cell in my body was telling me that I was in danger.
I looked back and found Zad standing at the door.
He started walking towards me with heavy steps.
Since I met Dabin and Lloyd, I have never thought that there is someone who wants to kill me in this world.
Who would hold a grudge against me apart from the heroes?
But, looking at Zad, who was smiling as he approached, I felt it.
This man wants to kill me.
What I hated most in novels was the helpless heroine who easily fell into the traps of evil people.
And now, I am that heroine.
“It was lucky you didn't bring the Hilderius twins with you. They're a real problem.”
He continued to speak while looking at me while I was trembling:
“It was nice to see your face and talk to you after a while.”
Zad's brown eyes began to turn red.
His beige hair turns white.
His hair and eyes became exactly like my hair and eyes.
Zad took out a dagger that he had hidden at his waist.
"Now, it's time to take your life. There's no grudge, just…"
His eyes were aiming at my neck.
The hand holding the dagger rose slowly, then quickly headed towards my neck.
At that moment, a blue flash quickly moved behind Zad.
In the blink of an eye, a sword pierced Zad's chest from behind, and reddish-black blood spurted out.
“Like meat!”
Zad spat blood out of his mouth.
His dagger fell to the ground with a resonant sound.
Zad staggered as he looked at the sword that pierced his chest, then fell dead.
Behind him, Dabin was standing.
“Kai, are you okay?”
Dabin quickly pulled out the sword, put it back in its sheath, and approached me.
“Dabin…?”
She said very angrily:
“It was dangerous! How can you go alone like that!”
"Don't go away from us again. This place is dangerous."
A strong hand grabbed my shoulder.
Lloyd was standing behind me.
The heroes of this novel came to save the “evil one.”
They wanted to kill me yesterday, and now they've saved my life.
Ha, ha, you completely changed the course of the story.
“Ever since I saw this boy in the morning, I felt that his energy was strange. And his looks at you were filled with the desire to kill.”
Lloyd continued while looking at Zad who was lying on the ground:
“I should have explained to you first, I'm sorry that I acted rashly and made you
You get angry. Because of that, things developed this way.”
Now I understand his behavior.
I felt so ashamed that it made my face burn.
“No, Lloyd. “There is no need to apologise.”
Because all of that was just a misunderstanding on my part.
And at that moment when I was trying to freshen my face because of shame.
(Ah, I have died once, in this body.)
“Oh?”
I stepped back in horror and looked at Zad's body.
“Ahhh!”
I screamed unintentionally.
Did he turn into a zombie?
Zad stood groggy, and his chest was intact, as if it had not been stabbed.
While he was trying to speak.
“Die again then.”
(For... a moment!)
Before Zad could say a word, a huge flame erupted from Dabin's hand.
(Aaaahhh!)
“It was a very quick death.”
Dabin asked in astonishment:
“Oh? Aren't you surprised how he came back to life?
Dabin answered as if I was asking a strange question:
“A quick death, a quick return home.” Okay?”
“If we listened to all those details, we would never be finished.”
I laughed at their answer.
Even though someone tried to kill me and I almost died, and even though his body burned in front of me, I laughed.
It seems that my psychological strength has become stronger because of staying with these two monsters.
“Anyway, why did he try to kill you?”
