The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

Chapter 10

10. I will die.

* * *

“…… That’s how it happened.”

“I see. Thank you for your cooperation.”

The first thing Seolhyang, who came to her senses, heard was Evan’s voice talking to someone. Her seolhyang, who had listened to her voice in a daze, came to her senses only after Evan approached her after finishing her conversation.

“Ah, Mr. Seolhyang. Are you awake?”

“Hey, this is… ….”

“It is a temporary shelter built outside the village.”

Evan replied with a grin. Upon hearing that, Seolhyang frowned as if she couldn’t understand.

A temporary shelter? What happened to a city that was fine until she fainted that created a shelter?

As if she was well aware of her question, Evan looked around her and carefully opened his mouth.

“…… A sudden landslide caused the city to be submerged. A man named Cyrus and his family were caught in a landslide and all died.”

“That’s what—”

Cyrus getting caught in a landslide and dying? Where can you find such nonsense? He is a superman Even if a landslide occurs, he is a superman who can escape without incident.

And best of all, the family did not die from being caught in the landslide. She killed it with her own hand.

When Seolhyang, taken aback by Evan’s inconsistent words, opened her mouth, Evan patted her head as if he understood.

“That’s it. I’m going to talk a little bit more about it here, later.”

“Later, when the hell… ….”

“I have to go back. To the city you came from.”

Evan got her up and looked around her. The people at the shelter looked depressed because of the sudden collapse of the city, but some merchants looked determined to use this incident as a springboard.

Among them was the Picker Head, whom Evan had asked the day before to prepare her wagon and supplies.

I approached him and said that I would like to go to the city at once, and Pickerhead, as if it were all right, left to pull the wagon.

“Now I can go back without any problems.”

Seolhyang turned her head toward Evan, who said that to me with her calm tone, and was overcome by her terrible guilt.

Royal road.

Headquarters of the Adventurers Guild.

Francesca, who visited the headquarters for the first time in a while because of Evan’s promotion issue, sighed as she saw the conference hall so noisy that there was no separate market board.

‘I didn’t want to see this kid, so I went to the countryside.’

Seeing Francesca sighing like that, her general manager cleared his throat and gathered his attention.

“—Chief Francesca. That’s why I’m going to promote that boy to a top-notch adventurer. Is this what you mean?”

“I want more than that. Chief of Staff. A new rank above the superlative. Please make me a super adventurer.”

“Sounds crazy!”

At Francesca’s words, the branch manager of the next town let out a growl.

“It’s also a problem to promote a kid with no proven track record to the highest rank, so let’s create a new rank!? I wonder if he wants to step down from the position of branch manager because of the preferential treatment controversy!”

“That little boy’s achievements are already more than numerous advanced adventurers. I need to show you something more here, right?”

“Then-! Top-notch adventurers need to carry out their missions with the wardens from headquarters! Because these data you presented may be false!”

“What do I gain by manipulating data? It’s not like anyone who lives anywhere lacks performance…….”

“What!? That’s not what you’re looking at me for!”

Francesca ignored the local branch manager next door who was arguing with her with her snort. He had actually manipulated performance to inflate it.

Originally trash curses trash the most. The reason he gives himself such seizures is because he is trash.

‘You think I’m trash like you. A parasite that feeds on the guild.’

As the fight between the two intensified, the general manager intervened with a coughing fit.

“Certainly—Chief Ocean has a point. He hasn’t been proven yet. By chance, he was lucky and he might have succeeded in that mission.”

“It’s not a mission you can do because you’re lucky. Chief.”

“Yes, I know. But just in case, let’s cross the stone bridge one more time. Sometimes there are good things to do.”

At the mention of work, Francesca frowned slightly. What is that word After all, it means that he will roll a few more times now that Evan’s ransom is cheap.

Even though I don’t have time to be blinded by those small gains. Whether Francesca frowned or not, the general manager brought up a problem that had been troubling him for days.

“There is one more party waiting for the Super Adventurer promotion just in time. This party and this person named Evan. It makes them compete.”

“Competition…… What do you mean?”

“I will promote the one who completes the mission first. If you put the two next to each other, it will also play a role in monitoring whether or not they are cheating on each other.”

“As expected, the general manager!”

“Hmmm.”

Francesca let out a blank laugh as she looked at the general manager, whose shoulders had risen while being gilded by other branch heads.

What? Competing the two? Who the hell likes to do that?

At least not the adventurers. A typical desk talk that only managers are good for. Francesca sighed as she saw the adventurer party the headquarters manager had talked about, and paused for a moment before rewriting her thoughts.

‘…… No, I wonder if he likes it.’

Advanced adventurer party Valkyrie.

It’s an all-female party.

That was the opponent to compete with Evan.

“—That’s it.”

In the carriage back to the city. I explained to her Seolhyang what had happened while she passed out.

Her confirmation that she was gone, that I wandered her city in search of her straight away, found her at her mansion in her Cyrus, and defeated her Cyrus with her gears.

It was also added that after the fight, a landslide occurred and buried the body. Plus the fact that her murder will never go unnoticed.

Hearing all of her words, she gave off an air of disbelief in my words, but since she used the magic sword Cyrus used in her palm, she accepted it all winter long.

“…… Were you strong? He is.”

“At least out of all the opponents I’ve met so far.”

“Thank God, that’s it. Yes. What a relief.”

I couldn’t ask what was fortunate. It was because Seolhyang started to shed tears from both of her eyes.

When I first saw a woman crying, I was at a loss and panicked, then carefully wiped her face with my sleeve.

“Ooh, don’t cry.”

“…… Sorry. Stop, I think it’s over.”

“Yes, it is all over. Now go back to the city—”

Go back to the city- You can live sweetly with me.

That simple word did not come out of my mouth. Saying that word was harder than dealing with Cyrus.

Feeling my lips were drying up, I gulped down the water and opened my mouth belatedly.

“Go back to the city! Would you like to buy it with me!?”

It wasn’t the cool line I was thinking of, but somehow I succeeded in conveying the same meaning, swallowing my saliva, waiting for Seolhyang to reply.

What- You saved my life when I almost lost my life, and made it a thing that never happened.

─Isn’t this enough to be a match made in nature? I need to find out about the wedding right after I go back…….

“Sorry.”

However, Seolhyang’s answer was refusal.

“I…… Evan is someone I don’t get along with.”

“Oh, no… no! What a pretty and charming person Mr. Seolhyang is—”

“I’m not talking about her appearance. I am the owner of a dirty and dirty soul. …… I cannot be with you.”

How can that be?

What did I do for her and her.

How could you do this to me—.

My lips were swollen and I managed to hold back the desire to let out the grudge deep in my heart, then I quietly opened my mouth.

“…… Then I can’t help it. Ah, Seolhyang, what are you planning to do when you go back?”

“I’m going back to her hometown to say goodbye to her family. Then you have to think about it.”

“It’s nice.”

Be like a man.

I was tolerant.

However, it hurt more than the cuts from Cyrus.

* * *

In the carriage, no sound can be heard. In the atmosphere like a cushion of thorns, Seolhyang overheard Evan’s voice in front of her.

A weak sigh that can be heard from time to time. Every time she heard it, it felt like her own heart was being cut out.

‘…… I have to be patient.’

I want to knock him over.

I want to knock it down and overwrite it with my own color.

I want to be colored by his light.

But I can’t. Not because he is unworthy, but on the contrary. Because he knows how valuable he is. Because he was not a good person to be tainted by a dirty person like himself.

‘You…… It will shine even brighter in the future.’

You can tell just by looking at the fact that he overcame Cyrus, who once traveled all over the continent and slaughtered dozens of families and hundreds of thousands of people at that young age.

Evan is a man full of talent. He is the one who shines like the stars in the sky, and he is the one who will color the world with his talent.

A hero who can spread his name around the world. He was someone who shouldn’t be attached to a dirty killer who killed civilians like himself and didn’t mind.

‘I want to be with you, but I must be greedy.’

He is a man blinded by revenge.

He was a person who fell to the bottom both physically and mentally.

I can’t be with you.

However, let’s be a little greedy.

I hope I will be the first to hurt you in your heart.

***

After arriving in the city, Seolhyang left without looking back.

As I looked at her back, I returned to the guild with a confirmation that the mission had been completed.

A gloom crept into his steps.

The guild’s Rebecca, who saw that, asked what was going on.

“Evan…… Sir? Is there something wrong?”
