Chapter 371 – Legacy of Order.

Facing her, Usher could only freeze like an animal facing her nemesis. He must have participated in her rescue team to save her, but why did he become so shabby when he faced her directly?

“Where did Mr. Yoff go!?”

I already knew why. Because she left her family behind in a faraway holy land that has now become a land of severe cold.

“I’m asking where you are!!!”

A woman and a girl, and the sharp voices around them resonate as if scratching the walls of the cave, hitting your ears. As if startled by that tearing scream-like cry, the voices of people could be heard from here and there.

“…”

It would be a day to tell the truth. That would be enough to answer. He tried to open his mouth, but no sound came out, as if his throat had been blocked by something. Because of that, the moment he was frustrated with himself.

– Aww!

Beep, I felt deaf ears and tingling, stinging cheeks, along with the sight of sparks flashing in front of my eyes. Instinctively, I covered my cheek with my hand and raised my head blankly, and what I saw were tear-stained brown eyes. Seeing Nausicaa’s hand lifted, Usher realized he had been slapped, but he couldn’t say anything.

“Where did you go, Mister!”

Because the moment I met her eyes, I knew she already knew what had become of Krikaliev. Seeing that, Usher could only say one thing.

“Sorry.”

I didn’t make any excuses. It was because of that that he left for the Holy Land and stayed there. But why?

“Who wanted an apple or something?! Where is the old man!?!”

The reason why Nausicaa’s eyes were shaking as she shouted at him. It was her Lenny who reached out and caught her again.

“I told you. If you go now, you’ll do something.”

Leni let out a sigh and put her arms between Nausicaa’s and lifted her up. Lifted up by her Lenny, Nausicaa seemed to bite her lip, finally stopping her struggle without her words.

“I’m sorry to disturb you. I’ll go first.”

As Lenny took Nausicaa with him, Usher suddenly met Helena’s eyes.

“Can I take the young master for a while?”
“Hmm.”

As she asked the people in her hut, Gideon nodded to her representative. Usher wanted to say something to him, but Helena was quick to take him by the hand and lead him. When Usher was also taken away by Helena, an awkward atmosphere lingered in the hut.

“I was wondering if we could talk, but the atmosphere is not enough.”

Gideon opened his mouth first, and Rachel cautiously asked him.

“What kind of relationship did that child have with Master?”

When she first arrived here with Gideon. She recalled the image of Nausicaa, who ran to them and looked at them with a disappointed expression. Then, as if she couldn’t help it, she approached Gideon and asked.

‘Have you met Mr. Yoff by any chance? Or did you hear any news?’

That was definitely what he said. Gideon hesitated to keep his mouth shut, but finally spoke.

‘… Krikaliev died in the Holy Land.’

Rachel still remembered Nausicaa’s expression upon hearing her words. She looked away from Gideon, frowning as if she had heard a bad joke, like a child who heard a story she wouldn’t believe. However, that was a day or two, and as time passed, her condition worsened.

The flaccid wings and soft brown eyes trembling with anxiety made the viewer feel sorry for her, but Rachel couldn’t say anything. What Gideon said was obviously true. Nausicaa never came to visit Rachel, as if she had sensed it.

In the meantime, Kane and Usher returned, leading to the current situation.

“It would be more correct to call her daughter.”
“Daughter…?”

It was Jeremiah who answered Rachel’s question. When she opened her eyes wide in surprise, he glanced at Gideon.

“Can we talk?”
“You don’t have to ask me.”
“I see. The story will be long, but I don’t know if the time will be all right.”

While they were talking, Nausicaa and Lenny were quietly walking along the riverside, where water leaked from somewhere in a large cave on the outskirts of a simple camp.

“So, taking your anger out on the kid made you feel better?”
“…I don’t know.”

Nausicaa sighed when she saw Nausicaa answer Lenny’s question without looking back.

“I can’t say anything about the kid taking out his anger on the kid.”
“Ugh! Who’s the kid?!”
“Isn’t it? Then why was he among many, many people?”
“That’s because he took the old man…!”

Nausicaa shouted angrily, but her voice soon cut off. It was because she had avoided Lenny’s scarlet eyes that were watching her silently.

“You really think so?”
“Then what the hell am I supposed to think?!”

However, at Lenny’s question, Nausicaa shouts out as if she was overcome with sadness.

“After he came, the man left! Because of him! Because he accepted him as a disciple, the man left!”
“It’s like Yoff told me.”

Lenny spoke quietly, leaving her screaming in succession to her.

“That guy was thinking of going to the Holy Land after we leave Parz.”

Yes, they were preparing the group to leave for another country early. That’s why they were able to quickly hide themselves from the wizard. Because I was already ready to leave.

“Didn’t Nausicaa know why Yoff wasn’t on the list at the top?”

You won’t be able to know The day Nausicaa packs up her people and leaves. For that was the day that Krikaliev decided to set her free. That’s what they promised. So it was just that the schedule was pushed forward, Krikaliev would have said.

“Aren’t there many people to blame? Helena, who brought Belka, and my uncle, who dragged them along.”

Also, the wizard who coveted her Belka, the knights of her holy land who took her along the way, and the people of the holy land who left her Krikaliev behind.

“Did you have to pick out that child out of so many people?”

Some of them were here too. In the end, Lenny sat down on the river bank and let out a sigh as she looked at Nausicaa with her head down without saying anything.

“Nyaa, that guy, Yoff, seems to have passed over a very troublesome problem.”
“If it hurts, you can just leave it alone.”
“Cook-Cook, if it went your way, you wouldn’t be doing this.”

Seeing her grumble, Lenny laughed.

“So how did you meet Yoff?”
“Why is that all of a sudden…?”
“Anyone wonders how a human who doesn’t even look like a human and a harpy kid ended up being father and daughter?”
“Puh, what is it? That’s it.”

In the end, Nausicaa shed her laugh at Lenny’s joke. She sat down next to Lenny, closed her eyes, and rummaged through her memories to follow her past self.

‘Someone like you is not my daughter!!’

Recalling her more distant past, her bright yellow eyes of birds of prey that spurned her.

“Huh!”

The girl opened her eyes. With a quick breath, she cleared herself of the surroundings and lifted herself up. And what you see are two walls made of pure white sand and that white brick. And it was an alley full of abandoned objects. The girl stared blankly at the sight, then rose with her rubbish and a sack made of woven straw covering it.

It was a tattered sacking sack with her sides torn apart and torn all over, but she didn’t let it go, and she threw it over the rags I was wearing like her overcoat. It was a sack with nothing to put in because the floor was hollowed out, but it became the only reason the girl could use it as her coat and blanket. Because she didn’t find anyone in this sack.

She is like a girl wearing the sack.

-Growl
“…”

The girl checked her surroundings again, hearing the boat horns that might have been her few times, but unfortunately, it seems that the time for her to fill her stomach has already passed.

-Why, hey!

Between the two buildings, the leftover food bin had already been overturned, and the flies buzzing with unpleasant whispers were attracting them. The girl looked inside for possible food, but she found nothing left.

“…I can’t even stay here anymore.”

Perhaps people similar to her knew about this place, so it was obvious that she would have big and small fights to occupy this place again. Because the girl had already entered this alley after being chased and chased like that many times. But this time, she was able to hide her body by collecting the trash that was dumped here, so she was able to live comfortably. It was the time when she watched the fallen trash can with regret.

“You bastard!
“Ugh?!”

Surprised by the sight of her wand being swung at her with the sound of her wheezing and cutting through the air, she stepped back, and there stood a grown-up holding her broomstick, staring at her red face angrily. There was.

“Are you making a mess by overturning other people’s trash cans when you can’t be enough even if you stay calm?!”

It wasn’t what the girl did. At least she hadn’t overturned her trash can, even though she emptied her contents. But he didn’t seem to care about that, and he whipped her wand at random, and her girl was forced to run out of her alley and out of her.

“Useless bastards! You can’t just push everything that only eats rice into a corner!”

Hearing the resentful voice of such an adult, he ran and then lost his strength and trudged along.

‘I didn’t do it.’

Maybe this time, too, she thought, it was the children who hated girls. She was the only winged harpy among the orphans here. Even Catsy, who had cat ears and a tail, had no orphans, but the girl, who was no different from the only other species, seemed to be a perfect target for them.

Because of the guys who bullied her every day, the girl was driven from her slums to every nook and cranny of her alley. It wasn’t once or twice that the guys came to know about her circumstances.

‘Because it has wings. It would have been nice if I could fly freely in the sky.’

If she could do that, she would have been able to roam around here freely without being caught or bullied by anyone.

– Slap

Then her girl realized the cold feel of her slipping between her own toes, and when she lowered her head there was another sky. The image of the waterside with cotton-like clouds floating between the blue sky. The girl looked behind her for a moment. Although she knew that the distant image of the village taught her that this was the end of the village.

‘It’s probably good.’

It was after the sky in front of her eyes had already captured her heart. She thought that if the girl couldn’t fly no matter how hard she tried with her clumsy wings, it wouldn’t be so bad to entrust herself to this fake sky reflected in the water. When she passed the tangled mangrove forest and left the village completely.

“Ah.”

The girl admired for the first time. What came into her field of vision was the vast horizon where the boundary between the land and the sky disappeared and the sky and clouds spread endlessly. That’s why she wanted to go further there.

-Kiriririk?

If it wasn’t for the strange cry that I heard at the moment. The girl instinctively shrank her body. In fact, she knew that where there was water, a monster called Pasitilla lived, and she knew that all kinds of dangerous animals abounded. She knew that, but she came out here because she thought it would be no different if she went back to the village.

The girl regained her composure and looked where her voice had come from. There, as expected, a strange creature was watching her. From the white feathers and claws, to the sharp feathers that I couldn’t tell if they were nails or feathers that extended from the wings. But it wasn’t like that that made her girlish body tremble.

-Kirrureuk!

It was her eyes looking at her. Sharp, pointed eyes. The moment when the girl trembled and did not hesitate to see those eyes that were engraved in her memory. She saw it tackled and thought it was really the end.

-Cruig?!
“Oops.”

Pudeuk! If it hadn’t been twisted, the large hand that had reached out from behind her as it rushed right at her grabbed her neck as it was. The scene that followed was truly something I had never seen before.

“Kiya! Heomi Shibeol. There’s only salt water overflowing all over the place, so everything like this is cool!”

A man in some huge armor held her limp neck upside down and gulped down her blood like water. The man who quenched her throat like that wiped her mouth with bloodstains.

“Anyway, kid. Is there a hell like this where lava flows other than this hell with only salt water?”
“…?”

The girl was really worried about when she died.
