Chapter 179 – 178. Various (6)
Kaaaaang-!!!
Kaang!!!
“Tsk-“
“…Whew, why are you so impatient, Mr. Carnesia? I haven’t even used my [Fist] Yet.”
This is a truly vicious attack.
While training continued here and there, Carnesia asked Anna to spar during the time of reorganization. Anna has already finished everything she has to do for today, prepared dinner, and is sparring with Carnesia.
And Anna’s sword is free to strike and retrieve, so it doesn’t look too fast. Carnesia is just busy deflecting attacks aimed at critical points for a split second.
After sparring with Elizabeth and breaking her sword in one fell swoop, she replaced her sword with a new one.
-If I could give you some advice regarding the sword, unless you are planning a surprise attack, it would be better to change the sword. I respect your skill in not breaking your weapon against powerful enemies with a rapier, but… The enemy you are going to face is strong. I recommend changing to at least a long sword or higher. If you fight with Anna, you’ll know, but no matter how careful you are, you’ll break it, right?
It’s as they say.
A thin sword can break at any time.
The thicker it is, the harder it is.
It’s simple.
But, nevertheless-
Pakang!!!
Anna’s glimpse.
The magic circuit only lasts for a moment. At that moment, which lasts less than a second, it goes into full motion in 0.5 seconds and shatters the sword in one go. The hand feels empty, and half of the sword body flies away as it spins.
“Ugh?!”
My wrists are tingling.
And after breaking more than 10 pieces in total, Anna declared.
“Let’s leave it here for today.”
“…It’s not easy to change swords.”
“Getting used to it is important. Normally, I would have handled it skillfully, but it’s not easy, right?”
“…Even putting that aside, it’s great that you’ve become stronger, but you were already strong.”
“There is no time to stop for my master.”
Is that so?
For the sake of the master.
…
“I belong to him too.”
“The master doesn’t like it very much.”
“…I said I would be the one.”
“If the owner says he won’t take it, that’s something to think about. I came because the owner told me to follow him, and even though you didn’t want it, he said he would follow me.”
So don’t fuss. You and I are at different levels. In this way, Anna was talking back. In other words, don’t have strange delusions for no reason.
It’s something to say that makes you secretly angry.
“Besides, the fact that I was saved by my master, and that I initially tried to kill him… Well, at this point, you know what I’m trying to say, right?”
“Does the owner know you’re doing this?”
Do you know what’s black inside you?
“Master loves everything about me, and I also love everything about you. And, I know everything about you when you were young, and you also know every part of my body. Even my innermost thoughts. “The relationship lasts more than 15 years.”
Don’t fuss. Because I’m on a different level from you.
Sparks fly between the two.
Women who want to be under the command of the man they love, and women who are very displeased with being under the command of the man they love.
However, considering that she accepted Carol, Anna is quite exclusive when it comes to bringing in other maids or subordinates, to the point where Clark is suspicious.
From Clark’s perspective, who knows her temperament, Anna’s acceptance of Carol is truly surprising.
And one person looking at it.
“…”
You guys are so damn good.
Luffy, who had been running errands, looked at the two and was a little surprised. Soon after, her tail started to gently wag, and Anna looked behind her and smiled brightly. She said to Luffy.
“Ah, Luffy, you’re here. Is there anything you need to do?”
“…No, it’s nothing special, Clark… Bro? Anyway, we arrived.”
“Ah! It’s already time. It’s time for Master’s return, so I guess I’ll have to prepare dinner right away.”
At the same time, Anna quickly sheathed her sword, wiped her hands, and neatly brushed off the dust from her apron and body before preparing her meal. Watching her tail wag gently as she goes to greet her owner, you almost wonder if that is the same woman she was fawning over just a moment ago.
“…”
And Carnesia also looked at Anna, who was showing her changing appearance like that, and she gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth. As a bonus to her, Luffy also looks at her and hates her-
The moment Carnesia disappears for her meal, Ilias comes to Luffy’s side.
“Luffy, are you afraid?”
“What.”
“They are.”
Are you afraid?
It’s not that scary.
“…In the first place, think about me, who is really holding on among those crazy guys. I’m almost wondering how on earth Brother Gawain is holding on.”
“So he’s a hero.”
“…Ah.”
That’s right.
You are a warrior because you are holding on among them.
A being that is preparing a body suitable for it. He knows that his strength is still lacking, but humans are beings that can become explosively powerful. That is why he is a hero, and that is why he is the one who protects humanity.
“…Those people must have all experienced pain at least once, right?”
“Of course. It’s all… I came this far in pain and in that pain, with the will to not pass on the pain I suffered to others.”
“…”
One can know.
Although Clark was an aristocrat, he lived a life filled with struggle.
Even after suffering a blow that brought them close to annihilation, the warriors survived and eventually returned to their homes, and suffered a lot on the way back.
The life of Clark, the leader of this group, is suffering itself.
– Kids these days are kind of temperamental, aren’t they?
-What happened to that kid when he grew up is me, you fucking bastard.
The point is that he had justification and qualification to beat himself up while doing so.
“…Really Clark, is that person good or evil?”
“Both.”
“…Yes?”
Ilias looks at Clark from afar with a sullen expression, who had been shooting through the streets with Mortus.
“Seeing him go around with women like that without even knowing how people feel, he really is the golden sun himself.”
“…”
No, it’s not just jealousy?
“Jealousy? Hmm, that can be true! I am the goddess of creation! There is no way I could be jealous just because of this, right?”
“…Well, if that’s the case, then that would be the case.”
“I can already hear the voices in my heart!?”
Luffy, looking at her own grandmother (?) Being infatuated with Gold Sun, Clark, is already feeling jealous.
I thought so, but of course Ilias figured it out and got angry at Luffy. Her own master and her mother, Ilias, looks at Mortus and the Golden Sun with a displeased expression as she looks at the Golden Sun and is seen fluttering her wings in anger.
Of course, you can’t just interfere there.
Mortus himself must have had high expectations, so he dressed up in a full suit and was spending time with Clark like that, and if he interfered with that, he would kill him mercilessly. If Mortus himself intervenes now, I will kill you all! While doing so, he is openly spreading his aura.
If you touch that, you die.
Ilias could no longer hold back the sight of Clark stroking his hair and kissing his cheek after spending time with him.
“Ugh, really Clark, you idiot, Geumtaeyang!!!”
Even though she was just shedding tears alone, she was clearly actively appealing to him that she had a crush on him.
“…”
When I think about it, I think her mother had that kind of side too.
…
I don’t know.
What is certain is that Geum Taeyang even seduced his grandmother.
And now, he is being harassed by his grandmother, whom he praises a lot, and the sight of him deftly accepting and comforting her by saying yes, yes, even though he is almost begging her, is familiar itself.
“…”
And Michaela, her own aunt.
Besides her, her other aunts also look at her.
“What are you looking at?”
“Is this your first time having a conversation like this?”
“I’m not asking you to come and treat me like an aunt now.”
“…”
“It’s okay, no matter what you say, my mother passed away, and she never said a word to me about it. I guess she tried to keep me from knowing about it for the rest of my life, but it’s a story from a long time ago, and there’s no reason for me to express my hatred towards you. “No. I never thought about whether my mother had other sisters anyway.”
It’s just awkward.
After all, the anger about what happened back then was her mother’s and not her own. She just lived as a human being, and she has no right to express that hatred to these people.
Rather, the present life with her mother was important, and the existence of the star that broke it.
Clark’s mother.
And she took out her anger on the person who had wronged her, on Clark, who had been abandoned by her mother and almost eaten. She no longer expresses hatred towards anyone and sleeps.
She tried to act bravely, but eventually she got hit and exploded, and she became something other than herself and blocked Clark’s path, but in the end, all that was left was a scar.
Lastly, a crystal ball containing the will of Mother Rushepiel.
My mother never spoke of any hatred.
-My beloved son, Luffy… Mom, she’s hiding quite a lot, right? Sorry, sorry. There were things she didn’t want to tell you… Mom was in pain, but she was still, she was really happy to see you. The ten years she spent with you were the happiest days for her mother.
Thank you for being born as my mother’s son.
…Numerous harsh fates will come your way, but I believe you will overcome it.
Forgive your father.
Don’t hate your father who left you behind. Please understand him.
…
He just had his destiny.
Therefore…
Luffy, I love you. Love. Love…
Even though your mother will be gone now – you will continue to live on. So, Mom, I always loved you.
Meet someone who loves you and live happily.
“…”
I feel like crying. I haven’t been able to give anything back to my mother yet.
I never thought she would leave so quickly.
No, I wasn’t doing it.
And, after her mother was taken in her place, she quickly tried to save her, but she became impatient and did many unreasonable things.
And Clark, who left these words, didn’t say anything in particular.
-Cheer up.
I just left those words and walked away, knowing that he wasn’t inherently evil. He was willing to stab that person with a knife.
He was young and very impulsive.
And looking at reality, the woman who jumped in to save herself in this world that she had to live in, without her mother,
Kwaaaaa!!
“Kuheu!?”
“Honestly, I’m quite disappointed. It’s because I set up such a large-scale trap and dealt with it before the fight with Cassandra, so I couldn’t be involved in dealing with it!”
…Even the female knight who appears to be beating it up.
And an ogre stands back, trembling, looking at it.
“…”
Did you say his name was Tio Gransha?
The soldiers of the Demon King’s army who persistently blocked the path of the warrior party that came to subdue the Demon King. And he is a spell caster and currently Mira’s squire. She was dutifully handed over to the mummy’s hands to strengthen her own body, but she nevertheless appeared to be smashed to pieces by Elizabeth without even a second’s notice.
The level is different.
Clash of fists and great swords.
That’s scary.
That is the true face of one’s teacher.
And when I think about Geum Tae-yang being captured by a woman like that, I feel pity for him. How can you be in the same party as a gorilla like that?
Although she had never seen his true face, Elizabeth always said that Clark was much stronger than her.
The same goes for Gawain.
If you look at the actual appearance, it looks like a golden sun held in the arms of a gorilla, but despite that, you don’t feel any discomfort.
As expected, the teacher was a gorilla…
At that moment, Elizabeth’s eyes turn to this place.
“Luffy-kun, did you think something strange just now?”
No, what the fuck – how did you know?
Of course, I shake my head and deny it with all my might. Of course, I didn’t even say it out loud, so how did you find out?
“No, isn’t that a bit far-fetched!?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
As if I thought this was too bad, I approached Eris, who was breathing heavily with her sword draped over her shoulder. Eris looks so tired that she can’t resist even when Elizabeth approaches her.
And Luffy approaches Eris, and at the same time supports Eris instead of Elizabeth.
“Ah, Luffy…”
“…How are you? Look at how he’s taking care of her because she’s his own.”
“What, what, what, what bullshit!?”
Cute.
Elizabeth giggled as she looked at her little student, who of course asked if she was talking shit to her teacher.
“Hey, Elizabeth, stop fucking around and come and eat.”
“Aaaaah~ Clark! Are you here to take care of me?”
“…Ugh-“
I really can’t stand this anymore.
Freed from Mortus, Elizabeth twisted her body towards Clark, who had called her to eat, and sheathed her sword, and immediately approached Clark with earth-shattering footsteps that shook the earth. .
“…That’s really a gorilla.”
In addition, even when you say he’s a gorilla, he runs at you like a ghost, and even goes as far as running towards Clark with all his might and hugging him.
“…No, I’m dying- give me a bear hug, just enough… Hehe-“
“Ah~ Clark! I never get tired of hugging her so tight and hugging her so tight! I spent the day with another girl, so I’m going to cover her with my scent!”
No, you want to cover up the smell?
“…”
And Eris seemed equally dumbfounded when she saw that scene, and she and Luffy were looking at the skit with dumbfounded eyes.
“…You’re really being damned, Elizabeth.”
Gawain also came at some point, and at the same time, Luffy looked at Gawain and said.
“You abandoned me earlier and ran away, but when did you come back?”
“He who lives must live.”
This is something Clark often says.
Of course, the problem is that you don’t apply it to yourself. There is a wizard who kept his life alive for over 2 years by disconnecting his magic circuit while trying to save those who will live? For Gawain, who knew how selfish wizards were, it was surprising that Clark did that.
At least among the wizards he’s seen, Clark is the odd one out.
And it turned out to be a truly strange entity.
It is the most alien being among the beings of the stars.
Ilias, a being that is not harmed even when exposed to the divinity of the creation goddess. What-
“Well, Mr. Gawain- what happened before-“
“It’s okay. You were punished and suffered a lot anyway. You apologized to me. But, Eris, you haven’t even apologized to Clark yet.”
“…”
It’s as they say.
I need to apologize right away.
And, was this the time when he was about to go between those two to apologize?
“Oh, it’s okay if it’s an apple. It’s okay now.”
Elizabeth, who was giving her a bear hug, and Clark, who was hugging her, looked at her and said.
“You’ve already paid the price, and whatever you think or do has nothing to do with me. Show it through your actions and prove it. So there’s no need to apologize to avoid making yourself feel uncomfortable.”
“…”
I really don’t like it. Really.
Clark seemed to have read Eris’ expression and spoke to her.
“Is there any reason why I should like you? You idiot. Don’t do anything stupid and just do your own thing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ever been kind to you in the first place. That’s why I’m trying to get behind you.”
It’s really merciless.
And when Gawain and Elizabeth hear those words, they say wow and are impressed after hearing Clark’s harsh words for the first time in a long time. This is really Clark. I have to say this and be sarcastic. It’s really Clark. Cancer, whatever. Naturally, when he sees Gawain and Elizabeth nodding with admiration, Clark narrows his eyes and looks at them.
“What, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you’re handsome.”
“That’s really stupid, Elizabeth.”
“I said my man is handsome. Are you flirting with me, Potato Knight?”
Potato Knight?
“Because I was good at making dishes with potatoes during my travels.”
“Ah.”
Clark said, “That was a good thing.”
“Don’t apologize or anything like that for no reason. I would have been scolded enough to go to my adoptive father and get him scolded for breaking things like that. If you had the courage, wouldn’t it have been worse to just tell me you’re sorry and end it? Besides, what with you. “There are secrets that only I know, right?”
“K-k, put it away!!”
“?”
Luffy looked at Eris about it, and she, understandably, already knew most people to profess that only Clark knew.
That’s right, isn’t it?
These are colleagues who were here with Clark in the first place.
There’s no way you wouldn’t notice such a subtle change.
Above all, it was extremely cold that day.
In the meantime, what happens if something warmer than sub-zero weather comes out?
It’s steamy.
“Why~? Did you think I wouldn’t talk about it~? Huh? Yes? But is it true? You can’t do anything~?”
“Wow, really, just when I saw Clark, he had an expression that made me want to punch him.”
“Why do I have to talk to him calmly?”
It’s really fucking strong because it’s strong.
He is such a powerful being that even if he confronts his teacher, the teacher will back down on his own. Clark himself said he was okay with it, but he was so strong that even fighting his teacher would be nothing.
I really regret it, wondering why I said those words to someone like this.
“Well, that’s true.”
Both Elizabeth and Gawain knew that they had insulted their fight, and they knew what pain Clark, the only one who came back alive, had gone through, so neither of them said anything else.
I just look at him pitifully, wondering why he said such a thing to this guy.
“When you tease someone, it doesn’t mean you’re saying something you can’t handle from the beginning. And… Once you say something, you must keep what you decide to do.”
The words I spit out.
And after hearing Clark’s words, Elizabeth remembers.
-I will save you, no matter how long it takes. I will never abandon you, who sacrificed so much. So, I’ll save you. Do whatever it takes!
Clark said as he held onto his hand tightly.
And she came back to life. Healing her major injuries, Clark brought her back to life stronger than before. Although she doesn’t mean to, she knows that she is no longer human and that she is following Clark further and further into the darkness.
But it was good nonetheless.
She loved Clark, and she still does. It will continue to be like that in the future.
I loved how Clark, with a face that almost looked like he was about to cry, saved his life by prolonging his own life in order to protect himself.
So I want to let them know my love more and hug them tighter.
Recently, the number of women has increased again, and from her perspective, she was extremely anxious, but what Clark just said.
Before she loses herself in those words, she remembers Clark’s words from long ago, her thoughts and beliefs, and kisses her beloved man’s cheek.
“…Hehe, that’s right. Clark, thank you so much.”
Side-
“No, what are you doing now!?”
And when Elizabeth shows her affection by kissing Clark’s cheek, Clark immediately looks embarrassed to the point where he can see her face turning red at a glance.
“Fuha-“
Luffy, Gawain, and Eris all burst out laughing when they saw this and looked at Clark’s dumbfounded expression. It’s funny to see Geum Tae-yang, who is so unlucky, strict, and sharp, so embarrassed by a woman’s kiss.
“…Let’s stop this shit and eat something.”
And it’s a bonus that Kim Hae-jin, looking at Clark like that, grabs her by the back of her neck and drags her away.
In the first place, no matter how you look at it, the way he looks so embarrassed and embarrassed by his woman’s honest expression of affection, the way he expresses his anger towards himself, and the way he uses ruthless magic and power towards his enemies does not match at all.
And now…
Time passed and a week passed –
At the estate of Charles, the Duke of Pantalone and several of his vassals, including ambassadors from Teiba.
…
And- those vassals now.
“…Are these bastards really so excited that they are going to run after me?”
In front of Duke Pantalone, a harpoon was coming out of Clark’s hand.
Elizabeth was looking at the knights who were being suppressed by Clark and was glaring as if they were going to kill her.
