292 – Wisdom (4)

Her friend is being beaten with a cane by an old man she knows. In this case, choose what to do.

First. I don’t know what the situation is, but I’ll stop it for now.

Second. Calling someone.

Third. Just watch.

“This pale bitch! Malbon bird is so ordinary!”

“Well, I don’t know what it is, but first of all, I’m sorry!”

“Because I don’t know, I have to be beaten even more!!”

I chose the third here. First of all, I don’t know, but I think Luna did something wrong.

You can be 100% sure that this is true when you see Warden’s speaking habits blah blah.

Luna’s snout puts people in a strange mood, but since Warden doesn’t know that, he will think of her as a spoiled child.

If you inadvertently intervene, it may become a nuisance. It also attracts all attention.

‘I’m a student at an academy suited for the elderly. It’s not easy.’

This is a rare and truly shameful situation. It’s better to pretend not to know.

Ellie had just returned at the same time, so I wouldn’t stop her. So she watched quietly.

“Ahh! Sis, Sivar! Don’t just watch, stop me!”

But Luna, this bitch, has unnecessarily bright eyes. Or maybe I stand out too much.

It’s hard to ignore it when you’ve been singled out for it. I walked away, grumbling inwardly.

First, I separated the Warden who was wielding a staff. The old man was so strong that it was difficult to get rid of him.

There was a reason she was able to come to the academy naked. Because of his appearance her her her, his body her her seems to be solid.

“Whew… It’s been a really long time since I felt this way. There was a similar guy a long time ago.”

“Who?”

“There’s someone I don’t even want to think about. He’s probably somewhere right now.”

Is he a bad guy? I managed to calm down the fussy Warden.

Meanwhile, Luna was gently stroking her head, and it looks like she got hit pretty hard with her cane.

Anyway, what on earth did you say that made Warden this angry?

Although he has a slightly eccentric personality, he is not the type to get angry. I’ll just click my tongue and move on.

“Luna. “What did you say?”

“No. I just said that because I was worried about the elderly…”

“A kid like that is asking an adult if he’s senile? He, he, he doesn’t have any sense of humor.”

A bit senile. Warden scoffed, pointing his wand at Luna.

As I said before, the Warden is not senile. He’s just an eccentric person who likes to tell fortunes.

Luna probably didn’t know that and thought she was senile or something.

Since I had to clear up Luna’s misunderstanding, I explained on her behalf.

“I’m not senile. “I’m a strange old man.”

“Oh. Really?”

“What is that? These two kites are really fucking up!”

You’re a strange old man, right? I think it’s better than senility.

When I looked at him with a puzzled expression, the Warden said “Huh” And shook his head.

“Huh, really. It suits you well in a different way. In fact, fate is nothing but the exact opposite.”

“Fate is just the opposite?”

“Yes. The fates of you two are strangely strange. Even though you seem to be on complete opposite sides, you can walk down similar paths.”

After hearing that explanation, I looked at Luna. She turned her head just in time to see if Luna had similar thoughts.

Maybe Warden is talking about the path we will face in the future, that is, the story.

In times like this, it really looks like tweezers. It is definitely not a private company.

“On the opposite side? What do you mean?”

“Literally, whatever. I don’t know the details. That’s all I know.”

“Are you really senile…”

Luna muttered softly. It is a voice of genuine concern.

In fact, the Warden seemed to be filled with heat. He quickly opened his mouth before swinging his staff.

“Doesn’t it suit Luna?”

“That’s not true. Just as when there is light, there must be a shadow, the compatibility may be true in another sense.”

I think I know roughly what the story is about. It probably refers to the story that Luna and I will continue in the future.

From now on, Luna and I plan to continue the story steadily. At least the direction is the same.

I’m not sure what Luna’s goal is, but she’s on the same path anyway, so it’ll be okay.

It was when I was thinking that.

“It’s a shame. It’s a shame. It would be better for each of us to follow our own destiny.”

“What does that mean?”

She asked Luna as if she didn’t understand. I am equally puzzled.

Luna and I are already in the same boat. This story was possible because the interests aligned perfectly.

But Warden doesn’t seem to like that. I wonder why.

“When harm occurs to one person, there is a very high probability that harm will occur to others as well. It should be considered a community of shared destiny.”

“Hmm… That doesn’t mean that me and Sivar are going to get married, does it?”

“Such a terrible sound.”

FYI, that’s not what I said. As soon as Warden heard Luna’s question, he reacted that way.

From my perspective, I thought it was just Luna’s nonsense, but it seems it wasn’t Warden.

“You could even say it’s a terrible sound…”

Thanks to this, I was able to see Luna’s slightly hurt expression her her her her. A grumpy face with her lips pouting.

I think this is my first time making an expression like that. She rarely got upset.

However, it seems that her feelings were hurt after receiving harsh comments one after another.

“That sounds terrible. I am worried that this young man will be contaminated by your snout.”

“Contaminated in the mouth. What do you mean?”

“There is a saying in the East: Geunmukjaheuk (近墨者黑), which means that when you get close to ink, it turns black.”

I think I know what you’re worried about. However, Luna’s snout is not something you can imitate even if you want to.

It can be said to be the equivalent of chaos, or perhaps even more than chaos. This is the first time I have seen such a speaking style in my life.

It’s definitely harsh, but it doesn’t seem like harsh words; it’s actually a two-faced way of speaking. It’s especially confusing when you know Luna herself.

“So, you guys, if you can, don’t get too close. If you’re not careful, you could end up hurting just one person or both.”

“I will think about it and decide. What about you, Sivar?”

“Me too.”

“Ah. You’re ignoring the advice of adults like this. If you do that, you’re going to get seriously hurt.”

The Warden clicked her tongue. It is clear that our answer is not satisfactory.

However, since we decided to dig into the story together, we had no choice but to get hurt together.

Even if Warden’s prize, namely palm reading, works wonders, it may not necessarily be the right answer.

“So, do you have any more questions? “I just have to wait here.”

“Nothing in particular. Luna, what about you?”

“I have it, old man.”

“What? If you’re going to ask a strange question, I won’t answer.”

“It’s not a strange question.”

That’s why I feel more anxious. What words will come out of that mouth?

Luna’s snout is both curious and scary at the same time. A speaking method that stimulates people’s curiosity.

Even the description of Luna as a magician of language is insufficient. I waited quietly until her mouth opened

“Is it possible to read the palms of animals rather than people?”

“Animal palmistry? What do you mean?”

“Me and Sivar have animals that we are raising. So does my friend. Is that possible?”

Is not it. Is he just being a jerk?

The kid is definitely smart, but he often goes astray sometimes.

Even if you were born and raised in the countryside and entered the academy, you probably have many shortcomings.

‘Has it been said since ancient times that knights are ignorant?’

I heard it vaguely. It is said that knights in the Middle Ages were proud of being illiterate.

The academy requires a common language, so it can’t be helped, but other things probably won’t be of much interest.

Moreover, Luna’s talent lies solely in martial arts. Regardless of whether her head she works well, she does not use it.

“Why are you asking such an interesting question? What kind of animal is it? Is it a spirit creature?”

“Huh?”

But Warden’s reaction was different from what I expected. Isn’t she showing interest by stroking her beard?

They even discovered that there are spirit creatures among animals. Thanks to that, Luna opened her eyes and asked back.

“Can you perceive spirits?”

“The intelligence of spirit creatures is no different from that of humans. In other words, it means that they can shape their own destiny. If you look closely, you will even see palmistry.”

“It’s fascinating. But there are no spirit creatures. They are children who are comparable to spirit creatures…”

“You can’t do that. It’s a spiritual thing to go beyond understanding people’s words and speak directly.”

So that means you and Pidgeot are not allowed. This is a bit disappointing.

I wanted to bring Porori with me, but I held back as much as I could. Luna seems to have similar thoughts.

‘So does this mean that animals and birds without hands are also possible?’

Of course, it’s a fantasy worldview. It’s a crazy world.

There’s a lot more I don’t know than what I know. The story is quick, but this is my first time hearing something like this.

“Oh my gosh. I guess I’ll have to go now. It’s been a long time since I’ve had an exhausting conversation.”

Warden got up from the bench and patted his back. It seemed like he was slowly going somewhere else.

“Where are you going now?”

“I told you earlier. I’m going to meet my friend’s son. He’s probably around here…”

“Elder!”

A man’s voice penetrates between us. I turned my head towards the voice.

I turned my head and saw this. A person I had seen before was running towards me.

“You’re here. I’ve been looking for you for a while.”

He is the emcee of the performance. He is the host of the performance I will participate in the future.

This is the person I ran into when I went to the stage to participate in the performance. I forgot about it because it was a passing situation.

“Yekki. You made the old man wait like this? I thought I was going to die from the pain in my back.”

“The person who corrected it just by looking at it. By the way, these people…”

The concert host looked at us. I also faced him.

Wearing a neat suit and green hair slicked back. His face is pure white and his lips painted are red.

This is the Joker makeup that would normally appear in a movie. However, it’s not like his lips are slit, he’s just wearing clown makeup.

‘As a host, I have to attract attention.’

A performance is not just about dancing and singing. There is also a circus.

Since it was an anniversary, all preparations were made, so the clown makeup was understandable.

I understand that not only the host but also some of the other performers were dressed as clowns.

“We were just passing by and chatting. Do you know these people?”

“I know this man. I believe he is participating in the performance.”

“Performance? “You?”

Warden looked at me in surprise. I couldn’t see his face because it was covered by a hat, but it felt that way.

Participating in the performance itself was not a big deal, so I nodded. Then the Warden stroked his beard.

“Oh. It looks like you won’t act like a clown… Are you confident?”

“A little?”

“I’m looking forward to that. See you later.”

“You can go here.”

Worden walked his steps following the host’s guidance. The host is supporting Warden so that he can move easily.

I said he was my friend’s son, but he was a host. Perhaps the old man was also involved in the performance.

“Ugh…!”

It was time to watch them from far away. Next to me, Luna let out a painful sigh.

At this, she turned her head and looked at her, wondering what was going on. Luna was covering her eyes with her hands.

“Luna? Are you okay?”

“Yeah. It’s okay. My eyes just hurt a little…”

“······I’m bleeding?”

It’s not a little bit. Her blood was flowing from Luna’s bright red eyes.

A similar thing happened last time. Was it when I lost the status window?

I was shocked and rushed to take Luna to her hospital. If something goes wrong with her eyes, she will be in quite a bit of trouble.

“Did I use too much of my ability…”

“How much did you spend?”

“I’ve been writing non-stop since yesterday. I’m afraid the devil may have sneaked in. I guess that was the limit earlier.”

At that level, it is normal for your eyes to bleed.

It seemed like pressure was being put on my eyes every time I used my ability, and I was worried that they might explode.

“Shivar.”

“Yes.”

“You know what that old man said earlier.”

Eventually, she decided to stay in the hospital for a day. Luna asked me with a bandage wrapped around her eyes.

He did not speak to others. It could have been a nuisance in an already busy situation.

“You and I have a community of destiny. What does that mean?”

“Well?”

Doesn’t this literally mean that we share a fate? Instead, he added that it is like light and shadow.

Light and shadow are one, but cannot truly become one. And there cannot be just one.

In order for only one to exist, there must be only light or only darkness. It probably means that the balance of the world has been shattered.

“Anyway, there’s no need to fight with you, right?”

“Why are you fighting with me?”

“It’s just… There’s something like that.”

Luna scratched her cheek and avoided answering. Does he know something?

When she tilted her head, Luna said to me.

“Shivar.”

“Yes.”

“I like you.”

“······?”

Are you suddenly confessing here? I’m a little embarrassed.

“So let’s not fight, okay?”

“······Yes.”

Nope. I just said that because I was anxious.

I was so embarrassed that I had no choice but to reply a beat late.

Honestly, this is a conversation method that would stun even if it were someone else. It can’t be helped.

“Why is the answer late?”

Wouldn’t you be late?
