Chapter 250 – No, Just for a Week

It wasn’t until Maria and her one-night stand that I was able to talk to Kara a little calmer.

“Before subjugating the xie jiao? It’s been a long time. Why weren’t you talking?”

“That’s… I’m afraid my brother will worry…”

“You know, but you hide it?”

“Sorry…”

Kara shrugged her shoulders.
I sighed.

“So, that desire. What is it exactly? How unbearable is that?”

At my question, Kara hesitated with a look on her face, wondering if she could say this. Only when I frowned at her did I hurriedly tell her.

“That… So…”

Kara’s story was shocking.
I vaguely guessed it, but it was more than that. When she finished talking, I buried my face in my hands.

‘Do you have the will to kill?’

Does it gnaw at your heart like a thirst?

If I kill you, will joy bloom?

‘He’s just a psychopath.’

My head was pounding and hurt, but I held it in and turned my thoughts around.
What was the problem?
The first Kara she met was not like this.
At that time, Kara was an innocent child who yearned for the adventurer’s life, the city life, and new things.
How did such a child become like this?

‘I can’t say it’s not my fault…’

I had so many experiences in a short period of time.
There were more experiences of fierce battles with blood and flesh than experiences of beautiful scenery or pleasant trips.
In the meantime, she looked down on Celis because she didn’t complain about anything, but I didn’t expect it to come back like this.

“Hey brother…?”

As she struggled in her thoughts, Kara’s voice trembled with her anxiety.

Raising her head, Kara was looking at me with her face consumed by her anxiety and fear.

Ah…

For a moment, I was at a loss for words.
She was Kara, who had only shown a confident side until now. Even when I see her sister who stole my man, I don’t get frustrated, bitch! The woman shouting and rushing is Kara.
Such Kara is now locked in anxiety.

What I had to do was extremely obvious, but it was decided.

I hugged her tightly.
And she gently stroked her hair.

“Brother…”

Kara’s voice is getting wet.

“I’m sorry for being a bad boyfriend. I shouldn’t have shown you this.”

“Oh, no. It’s all my fault. Brother, don’t apologize…”

The front of the clothes gets wet.
Every time that happens, a sense of self-blame hits me like a tidal wave and knocks on my chest.

Kara always believed in you and followed you.
I never questioned you.
I loved you and was always by your side.

But what are you doing now?

Are you blaming Kara for suffering from a mental illness you don’t know the cause of or maybe it’s because of you?

Messy baby.

I managed to hold back a sigh.
Because even this sigh could hurt Kara now.

* * *

“You’re crazy.”

After hearing the story of Yoosung, Orca spat out.

“Know.”

“If you know, why did you tell me? Did you want to open up and lighten your heart?”

“I wish it was as simple as that…But it’s not like that. That’s why I came to you.”

After appeasing Kara, Yooseong thought about the problem at hand.
How can I cure Kara’s bizarre mental illness?

Temple?
Regardless of whether or not it will be cured, in order to receive treatment, the circumstances must be explained, but it is not something that Kara can proudly say about what she has been doing.

And when the option of a temple disappeared, nothing came to mind.

There’s no way there’s such a thing as a mental hospital in a fantasy world like this.

That’s why Yooseong found the person he knew the most among the people he knew, and that was Orca.

“Okay. It’s not a simple problem. It’s about killing people.”

“Orca.”

“Why? Isn’t that exactly wrong?”

Orca shrugged sarcastically.
Yoosung’s expression deteriorated a little, but she didn’t care. Sitting with her butt on her desk, she said poignantly.

“I don’t know if it’s one or two, but I’ve killed dozens of people so far. Even if they are back alley criminals, isn’t it a story that can be a problem enough?”

“I promised you I wouldn’t do it anymore and put up with it.”

“It was all possible because you found out. What if you hadn’t noticed?”

“…”

“It’s obvious. He would have been killing criminals in the back alleys as usual. What if the rumor spreads and all the criminals hide? How will he act when there are no bad guys to kill? How about a normal person…”

“Orca!”

“Why!”

I couldn’t listen anymore, so when Yuseong shouted, Orca also hit back.
The sarcastic expression disappeared in an instant.
She was frowning as if she were angry.

“Did I say something wrong? He said it was hard to bear. Then there’s a good chance it will happen. You know the saying that if the tail is long, it will be stepped on? Even if you don’t get caught the first time or two, if you keep going, you’ll find out someday.
Imagine that one day soldiers suddenly invade your house. In front of all of you who were eating, he recited each of his sins and said he would take Kara away. Then what are you going to do?”

“You have to protect it.”

“Can you be a criminal too?”

“I still have to keep it.”

There was no hesitation in Yooseong’s answer. Orca’s cheeks trembled.

“So what about me? After you become a criminal and run away from the city as if being chased, what about me? What am I saying?”

Orca lifted her butt from her desk.
She trudged on towards the meteor.

“I lost my dad and even the proud adventure squad. All that’s left is you now… You’re leaving me so easily? Then it won’t work.”

Arriving in front of Yooseong before she knew it, she grabbed him by the collar.

“No matter how much I am a rolling stone… I am your lover, right? Then you shouldn’t have to take responsibility for it!”

When she heard the story of the meteor, Orca had only one impression.

That Yooseong almost got into trouble because of Kara. And because of it, she said, she almost never met Meteor again.

Orca is not what she used to be.

She no longer works through the night. Because I’m not interested. She just continues her research, which she keeps silent about.

No one knows at the lord’s castle.
Many people approached her first after recognizing that she was a palace mage, but she ignored them all.
She was lazy because she didn’t want to get used to her new face.

Now that her father, Siegfried, and the adventure band she cherished so much are gone, the only thing left for Orca is her beloved lover.

She couldn’t help but be excited to hear that even such a lover almost disappeared.

“…That’s what you mean.”

Yooseong, who saw the water droplets in Orca’s eyes, scratched his cheek with a puzzled expression and said,

“If I have to go out of town, can you come with me?”

“…What?”

“No, you don’t have to worry about leaving now. If you couldn’t find Kara’s problem, you might have found it, right? But I don’t know what will happen in the future. I was wondering if I could go with you if that happens…”

“…Can I take you out? Am I bound here as a palace wizard?”

“Can I secretly come to kidnap you at night?”

“Her…”

When Meteor said it was not difficult, Orca lost her words.
Yooseong asked as she crossed the back of Orca’s hand holding her collar with her own.

“Of course, when you said it was okay.”

Looking at Yoosung’s eyes, Orca felt it.
He had no intention of giving up on himself from the start. It eased her mind a little.

“What if you say no?”

“Then there is nothing you can do. I have no choice but to make it into a body that cannot live without me and come back next time.”

“Is that possible? The subject of screaming under me every day.”

Orca smiled lightly and pressed her fingers against Yoosung’s chest. Yuseong brought her finger to her mouth and licked it gently.

“That’s because I watched it. If I’m serious, you won’t be able to last 10 minutes… No 5 minutes?”

Orca grabbed her meteor by the cheek and kissed her on the lips.
After she mixed her tongue together with her sweet eyes, she met her eyes with him, she said.

“Huh… Were you thinking such a cheeky thing? At this point, we need to properly teach who has the upper hand. Look forward. It will make you very hungry.”

But it was the Orca that got the hang of it.

* * *

After making love to her, Orca said she would like to visit Agnes’ sisters.

If it’s hard to lean on the temple, shouldn’t you lean on something magical?

‘Agnes’ sisters…’

It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
In the past, it was a time when we hadn’t established ourselves as proper adventurers. A suspicious old woman once came to visit, claiming to be a fortune teller belonging to Agnes’ sisters.

It was very suspicious, but I did not hesitate to do fortune-telling for free, so I read fortune-telling.

And the old woman died suddenly while giving Celis fortune-telling.

‘It was very difficult at the time.’

After calming the flustered Seris and Kara, he threw the old woman’s body into the sewer.

I wondered if it would pass unnoticed, but how did I find out? After finding the old woman’s body, I concluded that it was the slums and asked the adventurer’s guild to subdue the slums.

I got involved in it and made some decent money.

‘By the way, didn’t I find out that I was related to that old woman by visiting?’

I think it could be because it is a group that finds corpses thrown into the sewer with dots.
Confused, I just closed my eyes.
Because nothing changes in the reality that you have to think about it like this to find it.

I fell asleep like that, and the next morning, I was very upset.

That would be too.

“Maria, what are your clothes…?”

Because Maria was being held by me in her underwear.

At my question, Maria glanced at her body, and she didn’t care.

“I think I took my clothes off because it was hot while I was sleeping. Please do not mind.”
