Chapter 491 – Haehu.

Usher opened his eyes, feeling his spirit floating in the scent of dawn dew tickling his nose, carried by a cool wind that blew from somewhere.

“Ah.”

Then we encounter white light. Eyes as transparent and beautiful as the dawn air shining above them.

“Didn’t you sleep?”
“Ugh, I just woke up too.”

Just like the voice that contained his question, there was a hint of sleep in her voice, so it was immediately clear that it wasn’t a lie. A sweet coincidence that we just woke up together.

“Pirika.”
“Usher.”

She placed her hand on Pirika’s cheek and as he brought his face to hers, she let out a faint laugh as she held his hand and rubbed her cheek.

While I was enjoying a moment of leisure, I saw a scarlet ray of light extending from beyond the sky, announcing the morning.

“Let’s wash our bodies first.”
“Huh.”

Usher and Pirika both walked into the lake and washed themselves briefly. Although the amount of water scooped up with both hands was small, it was nice to be able to feel the texture and body temperature of each other’s skin.

“There are also things like fish. Isn’t there any fishing here?”

After cleaning himself, Usher picked up Elkanah, who was still asleep, and walked along the lakeside with Pirika and asked. It was early, but they were planning to go around the lake, pass the western side, and then head to the eastern side.

“The children here are different from the fish Usher knows.”

According to her, it’s just that a creature that looks like a fish but is a different species is playing the role of a fish. She is said to be a creature rather similar to a reptile, as Usher thought.

“Maybe because they are like that, except for a few, they are tasteless and hunting them is difficult, so I think it’s better than not doing it at all.”
“Maybe it’s because of that giant snake or something?”

The strangely shaped large snake that guided their boat by supporting it on its back seemed to be as big as Hildisvini’s boat.

Surely such a creature would be able to easily overturn or destroy the ferry they were riding on. But if you try to catch it, it’s not like you can’t catch it.

“There is that, but it’s because of Parsiphenia’s tradition.”
“Tradition?”
“Yes, it’s a tradition.”

This lake is said to have had a history since the basin was created. It was because of these conditions that the first king of Pasiphenia was able to establish a country.

“I heard that parsiphenia grew under the oak tree.”
“P, you know more than I thought. That’s because the lake occupies that area.”

What is the complaint? Pirika slightly bent her back, puffed out her cheeks and looked up at him.

“In the past, I kept asking you to teach me one thing and another.”
“Ugh, when did we talk about the enemy…”

Usher avoided looking at the story, fearing that his face would be seen blushing even though he was wearing a helmet. Well, that was a story from when I was young, not long after I met Belka.

“Phew, it’s cute that after I teach you, you quickly get bored and look for something else.”
“That’s what I call a pain in the ass.”

Looking back at his past self, he was just a child who didn’t know what to do and liked to cause trouble. In particular, the idea of ​​going out into the forest was such a reckless thing to think about now.

“I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t happened to come across the top where Donar was at that time.”

Outside the forest was a vast, endless wilderness. Now I can move anywhere on the Hildis Viny, but now that I know that the distance between countries is enormous, I realize how reckless it was.

“I almost killed you, Belka.”

If the girl had died first, would he have been able to be like this? Even though I now knew it was a meaningless assumption, the past that came to mind from time to time was full of regrets.

“Think about it carefully. We were the ones who led Usher back then?”
“What?”

When he looked at Pirika, she smiled bitterly and poked Elkanah, who was still asleep, on the cheek.

“Actually, I was surprised yesterday. There was still a witch left who knew the story.”

What Usher immediately thought of was the story of Elkanah. ‘Mom said fairies can see time. Is this true?’

“Verdi looked at the ‘present’. How he could get you to safety. To find out.”

The next thing that came to mind was Belka. As she walked through the desert, she seemed to be looking at somewhere far away with that golden light. Even actions that made me question how I knew a clear destination in a wilderness without a signpost.

“…Erica and you too?”
“Yes, it’s a little different, but you can see it.”

When he looked at Pirika, she turned her back and answered him.

“But why so much?”

Wasn’t he just a childish kid at the time? But why did the girl save herself?

“Because Usher is more than just a nuisance to us.”

The behavior you exhibit. Expression. Emotion. Even warm glances and small gestures.

“I loved you so much that you brought a variety of new troubles to us who were just going along with the flow. I couldn’t take my eyes off you.”

She came closer again and rubbed her cheek against his hand. Although the gauntlet is now in place, the warm feeling is still felt.

“That’s what I’m going to say.”

Usher clearly engraved the image of Pirika smiling with her rainbow back at the rising sunset in her eyes and whispered softly.

So, after turning around, she arrived with her in the south.

“Now that I think about it, is that really a beauty pageant?”

When Usher suddenly started to remove the baskets and photos as if the center of the square was finished, he asked. Pirika looked at it and nodded her head.

“Yes, we hold an event like that every year and select the most beautiful Mainades.”
“I don’t think there are any proper participants other than Pirika?”

It’s okay to say this, but with the exception of Pirika, all the women were below average.

“I think the reason was to not look at the standards of beauty according to men’s way of thinking.”
“…I really enjoyed the country called Parsiphenia.”

Usher felt like he could learn more about why Donar was so reluctant to talk about her hometown.

“Usher?”
“I will judge by my own standards.”

Usher happened to buy a voting flower that was being sold nearby and threw it into the basket with Pirika’s name just before it was collected.

When he returned, satisfied with the sight of at least one flower in the empty basket, Pirika looked at him with her face turning bright red, and then smiled and hugged her in his arms.

“Ha, look at this? You just fell asleep peacefully?”
“Kyaa?!”

Wow! Lydica had no choice but to wake up screaming due to the stinging sensation that felt like her back was burning. When she turned her eyes towards the cause, all she saw was a woman in uniform with her eyes fiercely raised.

“Go, Warden.”
“I told you to get up and take off your clothes before I could come in for the exam, didn’t you?!”
“Agh!!”

Slap!! Lydica was in tears as she felt the pain of her own heart being ripped out. Lydica could not resist her violent and insulting actions as she hit her chest with her palm.

“I can’t do this. Are you really going to come to your senses if I torture you with this?”

What she took out next was a dildo made to imitate a man’s penis.

“Uuuh, sorry. That’s all…”

The warden would often threaten to forcibly tear off her virginity in this way. If something like that were to actually happen, it would certainly be difficult to maintain the position of supervisor.

“They say Pasiphae lives as a dean and does whatever she wants. What am I and a witch?”

Because Lidica knew that she was a woman who could really commit a crime without even thinking about it. As she lay down close to her, her guard seemed to feel a little relieved and let out a loud snort of excitement.

“If you understand, quickly take off your clothes, you whore.”
“Tsk, yes.”

Her whore, her warden, were her words as she called her. When she heard the reason, she said it was because witches and the like were trying to gain status by selling out their own people and straddling high-ranking people.

‘I was never given any other options.’
“Tsk, I’m just needlessly pretty.”

As Li Dika took off her clothes and swallowed her words of resentment, her supervisor watched her as if licking her naked body, then stretched out his hands and massaged her breasts as he pleased. She seemed to be squeezing it tightly, but secretly, as if stimulating her genitals.

‘Upset.’

It didn’t feel like this when Usher massaged it.

“What are you doing? Open it quickly.”

When she spread her legs according to her command, the guard came up to her nose and checked her insides, and the sensation of the guard’s snort grazing her vulva gave her goosebumps.

“Ha, it’s bittersweet. Just try to get sold to a guy later on. He’ll come visit you every time and eat you like a dog.”

I wondered if these were really words coming from the same woman’s mouth, but I couldn’t help it. It wasn’t just a day or two that she saw and treated herself like this.

“Mr. Usher. When will you come?”

Lydica mumbled, rolling around on her bed, hugging her pillow. It had already been several days since the warden came and left, and she had not heard anything from Usher, as if he still had no intention of coming.

“…It can’t go on like this.”

She felt that if she continued like this, only bad thoughts would come to her mind, so she decided to leave the house and go for a walk.

– Chagak chagak

She heard the sound of her boots hitting metal every time she walked, which was bothersome today, but fortunately the wreath-laying ceremony was still in progress, so the noise was drowned out.

How long had she been walking like that? At that moment, a familiar figure appeared in Lidica’s eyes.

“Mr. Usher!”

As soon as Lidika recognized the owner of the seal, she ran away with a smile on her face. She had to see it.

“Sister?”

The sight of Usher throwing flowers into the empty basket at the end of the day. She saw a woman who looked exactly like her smiling happily with her arms crossed next to him.

A pitch-black fire rose within her chest.
