2nd Round Villain

74 – – 300, death cannot separate love.

It’s good to be comfortable with your body, but you shouldn’t just like it.

It is also easy to break a relationship that is easily established. I didn’t act like a dog when I embraced Aru and Beatrice for nothing. In order to win their hearts, I risked my life to walk a tightrope and worked hard, so Aru and Beatrice have followed and relied on me for 100 years and 200 years.

But the Inwang… Considering Nioh’s personality, he won’t betray me after becoming a colleague, but if he wants to leave, he could suddenly disappear at any time.

It’s a relationship made up of words.

But to put on a show here… Uneasy. A show is only possible when you bring out the other person’s desire, but a Niwang is someone who knows exactly what his or her desire is.

Saint Irowell, that unrequited love. When he was alive, he couldn’t come true because he didn’t accept Niwang’s courtship, and now that he’s dead, even courtship is impossible.

I may be able to fly in the sky, but I cannot bring the dead back to life.

The wild is an environment where life and death intersect. Niwang, a product of the wild, knows that immutable truth more than anyone else. Because of this, I only remembered and missed Irowell, but did not commit any denial of reality. Thanks to that, he is now a savage with a very sound mind.

“assistant? I want to be a colleague.”

“That is it. The original synonym for colleague is assistant.”

“is it? So, are you my assistant?”

“Ah, that’s not it. Mr. Yohan is my assistant, so how can I be Yohan’s assistant?”

“hmm? Something, something strange?”

“It’s okay, don’t worry. Originally, the world is strange. The sooner you adapt to that strange world, the more civilized you become. John, don’t you want to be a civilized person? Like Irowell?”

“… !”

But I am a hybrid who turns the impossible into the possible. Even if the dead cannot be revived, the fire of desire can be revived.

The king’s eyes widen. A savage who instinctively reacts to the word Irowell.

“I’m curious.”

“hahahaha.”

“Erowell was unique. No beast in this forest could think like Irowell.”

“Irowell was a product of civilization. Aren’t you curious? What the hell is a civilization that created people like Irowell?”

In the wild in the beginning, there was nothing. A world where neither good nor evil exists. It was only natural that he did not differentiate between them. It was basic to kill someone else’s child to save one’s own child.

However, since civilization has arisen, ethics have been created among those who have it, and doctrines and laws have been created to universally spread that ethics.

It has been established which actions are evil and which actions are good. Those who killed someone else’s child just because they wanted to save their own deserved criticism.

Saint Irowell and my Lord Mary.

All are products of civilization.

And, to our group now.

There is one good man created by the civilization of the church.

“Sir Beatrice, would you like to come in here for a second?”

If you look at it universally, it’s not a good person, but it’s more like a fallen evil person. Good and evil are subjective, so according to my standard of denying civilization, it is good.

“Master, did you call?”

With her brown ponytail hair flowing, Beatrice entered the hut. I grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her in front of me. Like a salesperson explaining a product.

“The Holy Church where Irowell grew up! This Sir Beatrice here was born and raised in the same Holy Order! Right, Sir Beatrice?”

“Kuhm, that’s right, but… My lord, how could I, an apostate, be subjected to such an ordeal… .”

“Even though he now resides in Masurim with me, he was once the one who controlled the Holy Church! A country called Seongguk used to tremble at the words of Sir Beatrice!”

“Oh oh! great man! See you for the first time!”

“It’s true that I’m from a holy country, but I’m not just grabbing hold of it… ha.”

Beatrice put on a troubled expression at my splendid introduction, then gave up and sighed.

hahahaha, I am the master of your choice. Endure it with evil.

“Excessive modesty is not good! The person who used to be the greatest Holy Knight in the kingdom is so humble!”

“It’s not humility, I really wasn’t in that position… .”

“Ohhhhh! Seongguk first! I don’t know what it is, but it’s amazing! It even looks a bit like Irowell!”

“That’s just because you’ve only seen two human women… Ha, it must be because the environment we have lived in is similar.”

In addition, the Niwang’s good reaction overlapped, so Beatrice eventually gave up and accepted it humbly. good attitude

“stylish! amazing! Are you a civilized person!”

“Yeah, that’s right. I am a civilized person.”

“Civilized people! Irowell! Civilized! Irowell!”

thump, thump, thump-!

The excited savage leaps and bounds. Its shape reminds me of an orangutan. When I jump, a fresh breeze blows in, but the ground and huts tremble as the gigantic savage jumps in place.

“Ki-ing… monster… There’s a monster… .”

Aru, who remembers being scolded by a barbarian, trembles. Clinging behind me like a caterpillar. Is the guy who sees the monster and hides behind the captain really a wolf?

“Uh, if you go to a civilized society later, I think you’d better refrain from running. You might mistake it for a gorilla line that escaped from the zoo. Ah, not a gorilla, but King Kong.”

Cheek-.

While giving hints to the excited Nioh, he placed his hand on Aru’s forehead. Although he is usually so picky, Aru quietly accepted my petting, perhaps realizing the value of my existence after taking a taste of his finger.

Hey, it’s cool inside. Cheeky wolf boy, you look very good.

“… ah! Come to think of it, do I have to leave this place to be your teammate?”

Inwang, who was fluttering, suddenly asked a question as if he remembered something.

“Isn’t that natural? You have to go together because you’re a colleague, right? Don’t you want to go to the civilized world?”

“no. I want to go. I will go. If you still have to leave this place… I will be away for a while.”

“why? Do you have anything to pack?”

When I asked, the Niwang turned around. Leaving words with a cheerful smile.

“I have to say hello to Irowell.”

*****

The sunset is setting. Looking at the red sun that is slowly setting down, I enjoy the cool wind blowing.

A line hangs at the end of the sun. It is a bright yellow line. Only the sun possesses the good that neither the stars nor the moon possess. That’s why I hate the sun.

If you had to pick someone who was fair to everyone, who would you pick? Most people would probably pick the sun. Even the savage sitting next to me is bathed in sunlight.

the sun is merciful Most of the people who live without knowing the grace of the sun are in heaven and earth, but they don’t care at all and send the sunlight down.

“Irowell.”

Does this savage know the grace of the sun?

I think you probably know.

“I’m curious about the civilization that Irowell grew up in.”

So, the tomb of Saint Irowell must have been built in a sunny place.

I carved crooked letters and even erected a tombstone.

“After Erowell died, I was lonely. I wasn’t even happy There was no one by my side.”

The place where I am standing right now is a cliff. Beneath the cliff is a huge river with no end in sight. It is the largest river in Masurim, once ruled by the fish king, Kraken.

A tombstone stands on top of the cliff. On the tombstone, the name Irowell is written in large letters.

“But a person appeared for the first time. He said he came from the same place as Irowell. I can speak. Say the same thing as Irowell.”

The king knelt in front of the tombstone and was caressing it with his thick fingers. Words flowed out of his mouth, whether it was talking to himself or talking to a spirit.

“To follow. Because Irowell said it. make me happy I love Erowell, so I should listen to Erowell.”

The king raises his body. The tanned skin contrasted with the brilliant sunlight and thick black hair stood out.

After saying goodbye to Irowell, the Niwang sat down at the edge of the cliff. I quietly sat down next to him and started talking.

“You’ve come to say hello to Irowell’s grave.”

“Yes. Irowell’s lower body was gone, but his upper body remained. So I buried it here.”

“Hmm, what’s wrong with calling this person sister-in-law? Anyway, I’d like to say hello. Are you Irowell? Will I take your baby with you?”

“… you are so positive It seems like everyone is having fun. A smile always hangs on your lips.”

“Ahahahaha, I usually laugh a lot.”

I waved at Irowell’s grave. Did Erowell see my greeting, he probably won’t.

Kuekkukkuk, the Nioh you raised so well, now it’s mine. The dead shut up and watch my evil smile.

“Laughter, good one. What makes people’s lives happy and rich. Irowell told me.”

“You taught me good things. That’s right, it’s a tough life, but you have to laugh hard to get energy.”

“After Erowell died, I couldn’t laugh for a while. But Irowell was right. As time passed, the smiles raised their heads little by little.”

“awesome. It’s not easy to smile again even after losing your mind.”

Placing the tombstone of Irowell behind his back, the king stretched out his arms behind his back. His palm rests on the flat plain. Even if you take two steps forward, there is a sheer vertical line.

If you go all the way down the vertical line, there is another vertical line called the water surface. The water running parallel to the land where the king and I are sitting now. I moved my gaze to the invisible end of the water surface.

All I can see is the horizon and the sunset.

wheein-.

The wind brushing my cheeks is cool. It has a peaceful atmosphere that is not typical of Masurim. Behind us, Aru, Beatrice, and Uriel are hiding behind their respective trees, watching Nioh, but even if Nioh and I know about it, we don’t really care.

“Will it be all right if I leave Erowell?”

“Leave it? I don’t quite understand. Irowell is dead.”

“So, Mr. Irowell is now buried here. I asked if it would be all right if you left Mr. Irowell’s grave and followed us.”

“Irowell, said. The soul and body are separate.”

Dalgrak-.

Inwang took out something from his leather clothes.

What he took out with his horse was a silver cross. It is a lump of metal that glistens in the yellow twilight sun.

“Irowell’s body is here on the ground, but.”

“Is there?”

“The soul is on the cross.”

“Hoo.”

“I believe. Because Irowell gave it to me. She couldn’t have given it without reason.”

“So you believe Mr. Irowell’s soul is in that cross?”

“Yes. I always carry a cross. That is why Irowell is by my side.”

There was firm faith in the words Niwang spoke. Just as I believe in Maria, he seems to believe in Irowell. At this rate, they might become gods because of their faith.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

John. It is the name of one of the twelve apostles who served the Messiah. When all twelve apostles betrayed the Messiah, John is famous for being the only one who did not betray the Messiah. Perhaps because of that, only he could enjoy the heavenly life.

There must have been a reason why Irowell gave Niwang the name John. The king of humans who has to live alone for a long time after he dies, with no one to hold him by his side. Many peculiar things dwell in a lonely heart.

unchanging faith. It makes sense only when the faith is replaced with love, but I guess that is why Irowell gave him the name ‘John’ because he was worried about the human king who would become lonely. I hope that the love he embraces will not change.

As my thoughts progressed to that point, a vicious thought suddenly came to my mind. A rather bad idea that would damage the arrangements that Irowell had planted.

“Hey there, John.”

Talk to Inwang who is watching the sunset.

“huh?”

“It has already been 20 years. I heard that even strong mountains change in 10 years, but the time has passed for strong mountains to change twice. Ever since Mr. Irowell died.”

“Yes.”

“How about finding a new relationship? I’m sure Mr. Irowell would like that too. People are said to be happy only when they have a lover. Even if you love the dead Mr. Irowell, you will only be lonely for the rest of your life.”

It was a softly spoken word.

The King turns his head.

A pair of eyes stare at me.

“Irowell always called me ‘John’ or ‘Son’.”

“is it so?”

“But one day, when I realized that I was savage and felt ashamed of myself, Erowell first called me by a different name.”

“What is it?”

“man. Not a savage, but a man. Being able to eat raw, unroasted meat and hunting beasts with bare hands without holding tools is because I am a man. Irowell said.”

After saying that, the king took a deep breath. Then, with a grin, he shouted at the vast sky.

“Can death sever a man’s love?!”

Do you shoot – Do you shoot – Do you shoot – The Niwang’s cry that returns as an echo.

That is a promise. A promise to swear unchanging love to Irowell, who died himself. Leaving Irowell’s grave, I made a promise to myself that I would never abandon Irowell in my heart, even if I fell physically.

“Kuk-ku.”

I burst out laughing. It’s because I gave up on the playful idea that came to my mind at the moment.

The Niwang’s love was not something that could be broken with mere lip movements. By analogy, yes. Maria is the same as corrupting humans.

Anyway, Irowell, Maria, and the saints are true.

“Yes, I will answer your words.”

“Good, good. That was a really good answer.”

“Praise, good one. Erowell said that praise enriches people’s lives.”

The King who looks at me again. A cheerful smile hangs on his lips. It’s a smile that doesn’t even have a speck of darkness.

Well, there is one unwritten rule for all clowns in the world. It means that even if you give love, you must not give your heart. Somehow, a clown who has lost his mind and is unable to laugh cannot make others laugh.

However, this man named Nioh is smiling too brightly. Even though I lost my heart, I did not lose my soul. so you can laugh

I, whose heart has been taken away by Maria, can I really do that?
