Chapter 56 – Chapter 55 – Public Enemy (2)

The crutches tumbled to the ground, and Carine’s body was also scattered on the floor.
She was holding on to her crutches to keep herself from falling, so the fall failed.

The hero felt a tingling shock as he realized that the most dangerous weapon in the world was the ground.

Then she heard a familiar male voice.

“I told you not to, Sylnia!”

Hernan shouted and approached to stop Silnia.
Fortunately, Silnia didn’t go against his words openly, though she didn’t know if she feared or respected Hernán.

“Okay…”

Silnia looked at the hero with cold eyes and then disappeared.
Carine swallowed the anger that was about to burst out as she brooded over her anger and fear of the elves.

“Carine.”

She heard Hernan’s voice.
When Karine raised her head, delighted by the voice she heard nearby, Hernán held out his hand expressionlessly.

Karine tried to denounce the elf, but stopped after realizing that the man she loved was glancing somewhere other than herself.

Do you still care about elves?
I am the one who fell

“Ugh!”

Karine stood up holding Hernan’s hand.
And immediately confirmed what Hernán was looking at.

As expected, Hernan was looking at the elf.
Silnia kneels in front of the wall and prays.

“Drinking God…”

Silnia was in front of a wall that opened a hole for food.
In front of her was an altar made of twigs and leaves woven together.

A small altar no larger than two human hands.
However, on top of it, Silnia’s most beloved tree, the fruit of the yew, was piled up.

Karine honestly didn’t like her behavior.

It is said that the demon is in charge of their lives and grants many earnest wishes, but in the end, it is the demon and the demon king who imprison them.
It felt absurd to pray so desperately to such an existence.

Of course, he still had enough judgment to not say such a thing so that it could be overheard by those who were praying fervently.

Carine protested silently, clinging to Hernán’s arm.

“L. Are you going to let the elf pray to the devil? You shouldn’t be like that.”

Neither Hernán nor the saintess saw Silnia acting like that so badly that she was afraid to recover.

Unlike Potina, who is not familiar with the customs of human society, and the Demon King, who worships demons in the first place, they know that worshiping demons like themselves is forbidden in human society.

So the hero hoped that he would criticize him as well.

But, contrary to expectations, Hernán gave her crutches and said coldly.

“Then is it okay to do what we did?”

Karine was at a loss for words.
Hernan continued to speak to her.

“Is it permissible for me to rape a saintess or sleep with a drunk Silnia?”

The hero who ordered and pushed for it barely opened his mouth.

“It can’t be helped. To get out of here, you have to…”

“Then what about putting brainwashing magic on people’s heads? Was that unavoidable?”

“L! You said no!”

Karine couldn’t stand it and shouted loudly.
Of course, the person who could shout now was closer to Hernan, not her.

Hernan frowned and poured out words at her.
It was as if he had a baby, so he wouldn’t scream.

“At least Silnia praying to the demon doesn’t harm others. If you don’t want to end up in a more miserable situation, just stay dead until you get out of here.”

“What is more miserable?”

“Still not feeling it? Or are you pretending not to know?”

Hernán gradually pulled her body away from Carine, as if he could not stand it more and more.
Carine leaned over to follow him, but at the moment she tripped on her crutches and slightly lost her balance.

Hernan patted her to balance her and continued her speech.

“Do you think only Silnia, who hates you openly, or Forty, who secretly expresses hostility, hates you? Neither the saintess nor the Sharpie will ever like you.”

Karine wanted to shout what she had to do with it, but she held back and put her hand on her crutches.
Hernán continued to open her mouth as she watched her crutches tremble.

“In situations like this, you should behave better. You might be here for a few more years, so do you want to stay like this?”

“I am…”

“The same goes for going out. It’s full of people who know you used brainwashing magic. Of course, everyone is holding your name string.”

It was said that if you don’t want to be executed as soon as you return, don’t lose at least Chuck with the people.

Carine held back her tears, thinking that her already twisted life would be twisted even more harshly.
Ever since he vomited her blood, he couldn’t control his sadness.

She inadvertently opened her mouth as Hernán finished her sentence.

“Even so, L won’t abandon me.”

Hernan stopped her.
As Carine heard Potty’s room open, she let out a voice mixed with tears.

“Before you officially dated me, you already agreed to be with me forever. Are you still saying this because you’re worried about me?”

A deep sigh was heard in front of her.
Karine cried with her head bowed.

“You loved me that much. You loved me so much So, if I get out of here, will you look at me and not those girls?
How long have we been together, are you trying to throw me away like this?”

The words didn’t follow logically and were messed up.
Pouring out her words purely according to her stream of consciousness, she burst into tears right before breakfast.

Hernan took a deep breath and spat out her words.
There was bitterness in his words.

“I don’t even know if that feeling was real anymore.”

“… What?”

“As long as you’ve already cast brainwashing magic on me, even before that…”

“L!”

Someone intruded between Karine and Hernán.
Looking at the rabbit ears pricked right in front of his eyes, the hero felt sorry for Hernán’s words being cut off, but was relieved.

It was a pity that his loved one’s attention was gone from him, but for some reason, he had a hunch that if he kept listening to what he had to say, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on any longer.

Potty leaned his cheek against Hernán’s chest, holding his son in his arms.

“Hey, did you sleep well? Did the saintess give birth well?”

Hernan looked at Karine for a moment, but soon accepted Potty’s words.

“Both mother and baby are fine. Do you want to go see my son’s sister?”

“Is this your daughter?”

The affection contained in every word pierced Carine’s heart.
And her injured right leg tingled.

The leg, which had cracked several of Potty’s left ribs, was now limp awaiting a hopeless recovery.

“Yo, hero?”

Carine, thinking about her situation, was awakened by Potty’s sudden call.

“Why?”

He answered with a cold tone like before, but without the intimidation of the old days.
Forty also smiled and asked a question, unfazed at all.

“Are you still having trouble sleeping?”

Are you trying to make fun of your insomnia?
Are you trying to make fun of me as an idiot who can’t sleep without a lover by her side?

Carine bit her lip and glared at her potty.
Potty then leaned on Hernán from behind as if he was slightly frightened.

It was an understandable reaction, since even though Karine was heavily incapacitated, she could still deal with a weak woman like Potty.

But after taking a few deep breaths in Hernán’s arms as he held her and her baby, she smiled and spoke to her.

“Can I help you get a good night’s sleep?”

It was her unexpected proposal to the extent that Hernan, who was wary of Karine hitting Potty, relaxed at the moment.
Her hero was the same, so she asked with a bewildered face.

“How?”

Karine waited for Potty’s words with some anticipation.

There is no woman here who doesn’t know that the reason she can’t sleep properly is because she doesn’t have Hernán.
So, does Fortyga give up the days she sleeps with Hernán?

But that will end if Hernan himself refuses.

Karine had a hard time shaking off her negative thoughts at the end of her life.

Of course he will come to you.
Like that… I want to believe.

After Potty paused for a moment, Hernán asked Potty a question in a normal voice that Karine had so longed for.

“What are you going to do? I don’t even have magic right now, so I can’t even cast sleep magic like I did during the adventure.”

Forty scanned Carine’s face, her golden eyes shining.
The more he studied her face, the more subtle satisfaction bloomed on Potty’s face.

“I have a bar, a way. I’ll meet the hero later and let you know.”

“Later?”

Carine and Hernan both frowned and asked again.
But Poti now focused only on Hernán, leading him to the Sharpie’s seat.

It was a light step, like a rabbit hopping.

The hero watched the backs of the two as they walked away in a daze, then collapsed into his seat.
Today, after all, just the two of us with Marina…

“Ah.”

I heard that Marina gave birth yesterday.
Do you want to rest in your room because you’re not feeling well today?

If so, I will have dinner alone today.

Karine lowered her head, feeling that even though she was painting, she wanted to draw.

* * *

Alone in the morning.
Lunch alone.

Karine, who ate dinner alone, was alone in the room.

After Hernan took the dagger to use during childbirth, he let go of the fragment.
There is really nothing to do and no one to talk to.

I don’t have a lover, so I’ll stay up all night again.
Then she would have to cry again.

It reminded me of the old days when I was beaten every day by my adoptive father and cursed at by her mother as a worthless bitch.
Just like that time, she was helpless at the thought that she would end up crying.

As Karine let out her hot sigh, her door opened.

Hernan?
Or perhaps the elf who came to settle the grudge?

Karine tensed and grabbed her crutches beside her bed.

“Yo, hero?”

Contrary to her expectations, it was Potty who came.

“Why are you… Ah!”

Come to think of it, in the morning, Forty said that he would solve his insomnia.

“Because of my insomnia?”

“Yes.”

Potty approached with his hand behind his back.
Seeing that there were no children, it seemed that they had come to sleep.

Carine asked with a sense of anticipation.

“What way? Come on, tell me.”

She grows up with Hernan instead of her.
Still, I want to repay her favor to one of the people who saved her self, the hero.

She hoped it would be like this.

Forty was silent and held out his hand, which was clasped behind his back.
The little hand clenched his fist so that it looked like he was holding something inside.

Carine looked at Potty with her reluctant face.
She held out her hand and opened her mouth, ready to receive what Potty had brought.

“What? Didn’t you come to talk to El?”

“I’m here to talk about El.”

When this beast bitch spat out the word El, anger surged up at once.
However, her anger turned to her wonder when Forty opened her fist.

“What’s this?”

It was in the form of a round ring.
The color was close to white.

Potty smiled as she pulled a few more similar items from her pocket.

“Sleeping pills.”

“Did you make it in your special room?”

“Yes.”

It seems that there was an ingredient that acts as a sleeping pill in it.
It’s less satisfying than having Hernan come and sleep with him, but for now, this alone makes me feel good.

“Can I take one pill before bed?”

Karine asked Potty with gratitude for the first time in a long time.
Potty nodded his head.

The hero reached out for the rest of the pills she was carrying.

“Now, wait a minute.”

Potty whipped his hand away and hid it behind him.
And he took a few steps back.

It was a distance that was not easy to follow for herself, having to walk on her crutches.

Potty checked the distance and spoke to the hero with her eyes shining.

“If I have sleeping pills in the future, I will be able to sleep safely at night, right?”

“I guess so. Why?”

Karine, feeling displeased for some reason, met Potty’s eyes with her.
Originally, she couldn’t even match her eyes properly, but she was looking at the hero confidently.

“Then you don’t need more blood, right?”

Carine’s thinking stuttered and no quick answer came out.
Then Potty opened his mouth with an expressionless expression.

“You’re clinging to L saying it’s hard to sleep every day. Please do not ask L to sleep with me in the future as I will give her medicine so that she can sleep comfortably.”

Carine finally got her word out.
Her voice trembled with fury.

“You…”

“Hero Eldo and she hate themselves.”

Forty didn’t give her a chance to speak, and she spoke quickly.
She was so clear-headed that she barely stuttered.

“All of the women here had babies except for the warrior. Do you know how difficult it is to take care of a baby? Everyone needs El’s help.”

So take your medicine and sleep quietly by yourself.
It sounded like that to Carine.

“I will continue to give birth to children, and it will become more difficult as the number of children increases. El is the time to waste on the hero… Ugh!”

Carine threw the sleeping pills she was holding in her hand.
The drug went right into Potty’s long ear.
Potty flinched and groped her ear with her trembling hand.

“Ear, foreign object in ear!”

“Go away!”

Karine tried to get her body up, ignoring the pain in her leg.
But she soon gave up and picked up her crutches instead.

Potty hurriedly tried to get the pill out of his ear and was horrified to see it.

“Ha, don’t! I want to help the warrior…”

“Get out of El’s side!”

Eventually, the crutches flew.
Potty hurriedly threw him sideways.

“Kyaa!”

The wizard trembled as he fell to the floor.
Still, her crutches flew slower than Potty threw her, so she couldn’t be hit.

On the contrary, the shock of falling to the floor also benefited from the medicine that was in her ear coming out.
Potty hurriedly grabbed the medicine and ran to the door.

The warrior was saddened that he could not throw properly because his strength was weakened, and he wrote an evil voice.

“Do you think you’ll be fine after going out like this? Do you think you will live here for the rest of your life!”

Forty stopped abruptly opening her door and looked back at her champion.

“Does not matter. Because right now is the most precious to me.”

Potty, a former experimental subject who was waiting for her death, opened the door and spoke one last time.

“If you accept the offer, come see me. Personally, I’d rather continue to sleep miserably, not even sleep… Wow!”

As Potty slams the door, pieces of her mansion fly in and slam her into the door.
The flamboyantly shaped pieces of the mansion broke as soon as they hit the sturdy door.

“Omg… Omg…”

Carine, who threw whatever she could get her hands on, swallowed her anger and lay down on her bed.
Potty, who was in the lowest position in the party, now despises himself.

That, too, is rightly upsetting.
But it was something else that made her truly sad.

Even today, the lover, the lover who left does not come.

“L…”

She got out of bed in tears.
Her crutches were also thrown away, so she had no choice but to crawl on the floor.

“Huh…”

Karine, who crawled to the door, held up a piece of the mansion that was the same shape as the one she first presented to Hernán and sobbed.

She’s broken right
Due to the nature of the piece, it cannot be repaired.

She might be like her relationship with Hernán.

She stayed up all night trying to force the broken house model to fit together.

Of course, she never had it adjusted again.
