Chapter 59 – 59. Strange Companion – City of Witches (14)

-About 2 hours have passed since Clark entered the witch city of Gehenna-

Hideout.

A hideout where only Elizarote and Batistan along with Mine and Arisman remain.

And Dick Johnson stands guard outside the hideout.

Crumbling!

It is raining.

A place quite close to the outskirts of the Margrave’s territory, with thunderstorms raging. From Dick’s point of view, a hiding place means that it must be dark under the lamp. In that respect, I think this hideout is a complete hit.

Of course, that would still be funny if the hideout were in the city.

So, you’re in the city, do you want to bomb it?

In this crazy world full of people who would bomb you if you did, it would be crazy to have a hideout in the city.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but this hideout had enough durability to be called a bunker. In this hideout, even though the damn Kanfs used magic, the hideout functioned perfectly well.

This hideout on the outskirts is in southeastern Frisia, and is actually closer to a large forest. It is easy to block enemies and the forest is close by.

It is a very suitable place for the damn Canps to come, but in fact, the forest itself is no different from a natural fortress, so it is no wonder that the location is chosen this way.

It’s just that the Canfs handle the forest better.

That might be the only downside to this hideout in this world.

Clark’s words asking you to protect this place.

And inside, Elizarote waits anxiously for Clark to arrive. Her sister hopes for her sister’s resurrection, and so does Batistan, who is by her side tending to her wounds.

Just by looking at it, you could see how much she was loved, and since she was trying to save the golden sun, it seems she also had a benevolent nature.

Dick, who I’ve seen for a long time, says that, unless Clark is a real world-class bastard, he tends to treat people to a certain extent and listen to everything they have to say.

If you ask me why I do that, I’ll say that everyone I meet laughs at me and makes fun of me because of my skin color, so I’m just neurotic and hysterical, but I’m not a bad guy.

And to save that guy, he is a friend who sacrificed himself to save everyone, including that guy. Oh, I can’t stand this.

He has a chance to save it and he’s decided he should, so how can he put up with this?

To be honest, even if it’s Dick, I don’t have the confidence to endure it.

If I were given the opportunity to kill the bastard of the world that only I should crush, I absolutely could not take it. On the contrary, if you stop him, he will bite and kill the owner holding the leash, even if it means killing him.

It was fortunate that it didn’t go that far, but looking at the shit he was doing these days, Dick could sense that it wasn’t much left.

And then I see that little monster talking to Elizarote about various things.

As we will find out someday, Aris is hiding her monster form and communicating with humans. Aris didn’t seem to think that she was a monster, but Batistan seemed to have noticed it to some extent.

Dick lifted her finger and shushed him. He conveyed his intention, and Batistan also understood it and nodded. It’s a natural thing to say.

Yeah, there’s nothing better to find out.

If you didn’t know, you could at least say you didn’t know. You were talking openly with the devil’s daughter?

This is a really good cause to be eaten up.

Aside from that, Aris seems excited to talk to someone who listens to her for the first time in a long time. She looks at the snake’s tail waving beyond her skin, and it looks like she is not even able to maintain her transformation properly and is causing a fuss.

Mine is covering it up and making it invisible.

Nug and Yev just don’t say anything and just protect Elizarote and Aris. However, she listens with her ears prickled to see if she is interested in the conversation between Aris and Eliza Lotte.

Are they trying to learn the language in order to communicate with their parents?

Eliza Lotte, who is trying to brag and show off in her own way, but she is the daughter of a duke and is not particularly showing off, perhaps because she was well educated at home, just listens to Aris’ words, agrees with her, and coos.

Perhaps Elizabeth did the same?

In her own way, she said that when she stood in front of Clark, she introduced herself and boasted about her family, but judging from Batistan’s reaction, she was like that.

Elizabeth was interested in Clark.

Clark also goes so far as to say that Elizabeth suffers from princess disease because of her loud voice.

This is the kind of woman I am. So she come to me If you say it this way, what does it mean? Of course, it is the same as courtship. Clark, who is far from saying it in the first place, seems to have thought that Elizabeth was a patient of princess disease. Nevertheless, if you listen to her stories about Elizabeth, it seems that she was not on good terms with her and that she did not give up.

Well, if I were to live with a mugwort like that, I would have to have my older sisters take care of me. In particular, I feel sorry for the women who fell in love with this born outsider who has no talent at all, but I respect that because it was their choice.

A story that only Geum Taeyang knows.

Does that tactless Geumtaeyang guy know?

I was quite impressed that he was acting like Geum Taeyang after a long time, but he is still a fashion Geum Taeyang. In fact, it’s more of a teasing meme, and he doesn’t seem to be rationally interested in anyone other than his older sister, but that’s just for a moment.

If the woman who couldn’t wait eventually attacks, that would be a funny story.

From the looks of it, it seems like she doesn’t hate the mummy itself, and she seems to be trying to focus only on the mummy, but Dick can tell.

It’s a fashion gold sun, but a gold sun is called a gold sun.

That he was destined to have a woman around.

…

But why am I hanging around so many women when I’m not even Geum Taeyang?

…

“Molarehu.”

After saying that, Dick chuckles.

Well, as I get older, I have a lot of random thoughts.

There are wives who are busy living together and taking responsibility, but there is no way for them to talk as men to men and live openly.

However, as people get a little older and their heads have dried up, it is common for people to leave after talking and drinking a few times.

At least I hope to see people around me living happily for a long time.

Marcus, I wish he had lived longer.

This is what it looked like when my friend Marcus underwent almost forced ‘coitus’ under the pretext of a contract and conceived two star beings. They said they would fulfill the contract, but it was truly pitiful to see those bitches get pregnant with their child, leave the childcare to Marcus, and then say they don’t care about me and go away.

And that he can’t do anything about it.

In fact, the reason he said he wanted to go in there was because the leash was very tight, and his owner was pulling the leash violently against him.

And Clark said no.

Okay.

Since it is his job, he will do it himself.

…

As someone who has been watching him since he was young, I am worried, but at the same time, I feel strange because I feel like he has grown up properly. Now, Mine comes next to Dick.

“Don’t worry. He’ll get through it.”

“…”

“Is it because you remembered the kids?”

Children I had when I was once human. I thought of those kids. It would be a lie to say that I didn’t think of it. Likewise, this is a guy who has even seen poopy diapers changed. Half of the time, he is the one who raised the child on his own, so much so that it is safe to say that he actually took care of it for him.

If a guy like that were to go to a dangerous place where he could die, how could I not be worried?

He senses an unusual energy that even he feels is wrong and quite wrong. This damn Demon Sultan is mortgaging his very existence and wielding it as he pleases.

Including none other than Mine in front of me.

She, too, must have been worried about Dick, as she came to Dick’s side and tried to be his companion as she got caught in the rain.

That’s why I’m worried.

Because I have always been alone and lost in thought like this.

“…What are you doing out here in the rain?”

“Hehe, we used to do a lot of operations in the rain like this in the past. The battlefield was always windy and windy, with waves crashing… We had to fight continuously, and you “He guided us.”

“…Go inside and look after the little boy. He seems to think it’s important too.”

“But, I think a guest will be arriving soon. As the guardian of this place, I can’t send her husband alone, right?”

“…”

It’s needlessly naive in this regard. Considering that she was standing next to herself as a ‘guard’, it was a natural behavior, and naturally, the beings that appeared from the forest. About 11 dark elves. And a high-ranking yoma who is guarded by the dark elves. And one mine.

She then confronts herself and immediately sees what appears to be the leader of the dark elves trying to pull out her weapon.

Is it a fight?

I’m already in a good mood. I took out an ax, thinking about cutting something, but-

“Hold on, ‘Hounds of Tindalos.’ We are not your enemies.”

“Hoo, did you recognize me? Then you know that I am not just a hunting dog.“

“I made them withdraw their weapons on their own.”

And silver hair and red eyes. It almost reminds me of Aris. Of course, unlike that little snake, this was a real cut, and it felt so powerful that it was strange that she wasn’t the devil. If I were to really ask, is she similar to the ‘girl’ I had in the past?

Ah, if that were the case, I might recognize it.

At that time, instead of her current name, she used the name ‘The Hound of Tindalos’.

Then Dick gathered his strength and spoke to them.

“There is a saying that good people do not come, and those who come are not good people. Likewise, those without a purpose do not come here, and those who come have a purpose. What did you guys come here for?”

“Golden sun.”

Is it you again?

And one more thing apart from that.

“And I came looking for my sister. White Snake. Is she here? I am Eris. I am the older sister of ‘Aris’ over there.”

Oh, I guess so.

They say they look alike, but are they also sisters? Dick agreed.

“…Oh, was it your younger brother? I was already taking him with me until someone came to pick him up…”

And a big commotion breaks out in the hideout. Isn’t it strange that such a clash of energies occurred and I couldn’t feel it inside? Of course it was Aris.

That’s right, there’s only one person who’s this scared.

“No, let go!!! You have to run away!!! There’s a threat to your life…!!!”

And he was caught by Nug and Yev in that hideout and couldn’t even get out.

And Eris looks at Nug and immediately throws herself away.

The sight of her holding on to her own sister.

In fact, it seems like they were trying to protect him by preventing him from escaping from here.

Aris knows that Eris is here and she tries to run away for fear of being scolded.

The situation is that Nug is holding Aris down to prevent her from escaping.

And Dick took off.

Before the fingernails and tentacles meet-

Kwaaaaa!!!

“…!!”

“Get out of the way.”

“Let’s hear the story. I don’t know why young people these days are so disobedient. Really.”

“…”

“If you don’t back down, you’ll really die.”

And Dick’s purple eyes shine. And for a moment, Eris, who felt a chill running down her spine, stepped back and at the same time Dick saw Aris being held by Nug and said to Nug:

“This is a family that came to look for her. Please let her go.”

“Father told me to protect this child. I can’t do as you say.”

“…Ah fuck, the real Yudori is nothing like that.”

Should I really break the pot? I have this thought for a moment. Yes, I told them to keep it as is, but that didn’t mean I had to send it away.

Yeah really. You left me with all these tight things.

Golden sun!!!!

And, when she saw Eris holding her eyebrows when she saw Dick, she must have felt some pity. Even more than the scary look from before, I felt like I was seeing her demon mother and chief of staff Widi. Widi was also upset when she saw the demons under her being so reckless and senseless.

“…Well, it’s someone I have to meet anyway. More than that, you little lamb…?”

“Nug. I got the name from my father.”

The father would be Clark. There’s one more.

He has blonde hair, dark skin, and golden eyes.

“I am Yev. The daughter of my father and mother. Yes. From now on, I will call you this.”

“…”

These are stories that would upset Widi if she found out. Aside from that, Dick looks at the ‘Maine’ behind him, with blonde hair and wearing black armor. And although Dick intuitively knew who he was, he was asked a test question to see if he was really friendly with Clark.

Yes, this is an important issue.

Whether or not he really likes Clark.

And to find out whether the little boy made the right friends or not.

That’s because I’ve been saying this shit a lot for a long time, and there’s no way I wouldn’t have said it to a new friend I made.

“I’ve been waiting for a man like you for a long time.”

“Honestly, I did too.”

“Really?”

And-

“It’s a lie.”

…

You bastard, Clark’s friend.

That’s right, colleague.
