75 – past_saint_4

It was like always.

We ate breakfast and prayed. We spent time talking with the ‘sisters’ and ate lunch.

And the moment I ate all of my lunch, ‘Mother’ came in with an urgent expression.

that you have to run away

that the devil came here

That I acted too late.

I didn’t know the meaning.

I was unaware of the very existence of the devil.

The ‘sisters’ didn’t talk about that. However, judging from the expression on the mother’s face, it didn’t seem like a joke.

It’s a short time, but I have to leave the place that gave me warmth.

What is the devil doing to do this?

Such doubts were naturally cleared up shortly after.

The door is open. The door leaves are completely tattered with a bang, as if being forced open.

The door that only moved when I put my weight on it.

It had an appearance too repulsive to be called a being like me.

Even though I am walking on two feet, I feel like I am crawling on the ground for some reason.

An eerie black road is drawn in the place where you passed.

Their eyes, skin color, and mood were all different.

It was heterogeneous.

[..~!]

Again, I heard something incomprehensible. It was an unpleasant pronunciation that was fundamentally different from what the man had said, like stabbing the inside of the skin.

“Ellie.”

‘Mother’ gently held my shoulder.

“Do you know why I brought you here?”

At least it didn’t suit the current situation. It was like the last thing he said before he died.

So I didn’t answer. If I answered this, for some reason, I felt that ‘Mother’ would disappear forever.

Now I can barely feel happiness.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Now I can finally realize that I’m out of there.

But, why are you trying to take everything away again?

“It was because I was asked by someone. And I accepted it out of guilt. Even though someone told me to run away quickly, I was distracted by petty greed and committed the crime again.”

Didn’t answer. Even if she took me out at a request, even if she did it out of guilt, it was ‘mother’ who made me feel warm in the end.

“I think it’s too late now, but it’s my atonement for you. Now, open your hands. And run away. To Eormigin.”

‘Mother’ took my hand and forcibly opened her fingers one by one. It was a tough touch that didn’t match the ‘mother’ I knew.

And she took my hand. A halo of light the same color as her hair came into my hand.

It was warm.

She was trying to say something.

But couldn’t.

It was because the thing that had just opened and was far away reached right in front of my eyes in an instant.

[~!! -..-!]

‘Mother’ blocked the way it shouted while showing off its sharp teeth as if it were excited.

run away He seemed to be saying it with his whole body.

The eldest of the ‘sisters’ kept his mouth shut and ran away with the other ‘sisters’.

I didn’t answer the cries of the ‘sisters’, but stayed there for a while and looked at ‘mother’. Even though nothing had happened yet, I couldn’t get rid of the anxious feeling of foreboding.

Reached out. I don’t think I’ll ever touch you again.

But it was faster to swing its own arm.

─Cheak

Something I was familiar with soaked my body.

It was warm. It’s fishy.

In an instant I couldn’t even recognize it, it was splashed on my head and entered my mouth.

For a moment, I remembered the blood clot I ate for breakfast.

“Ugh… ugh…”

I had the illusion that I had eaten ‘Mother’. He sat down on the spot and vomited.

“..Don’t worry. I’m fine, so run away.”

‘Mother’ comforted me even as her body was bleeding.

I was told to run away, but I couldn’t move.

A person born in misfortune makes others miserable.

Maybe this is heaven punishing me. He said he felt happy without even knowing the subject.

It hit ‘Mother’ once again. her body split

Wept.

everything collapsed

The space where I prayed.

The space that used to make hot food.

The space where you could stretch out your feet and sleep.

Everything, even the ‘mother’ who created a human relationship that was not scary.

I hate blood. I hate that red, fishy, warm liquid. I hate the blood of others. Because it’s a way to show the pain clearly.

[..~]

It laughed, placed its hand over the cracked body of ‘Mother’ and began to memorize something.

With a scratchy voice and manner of speaking, he mumbles as if singing a song.

When I stopped mumbling, it twisted the corners of its mouth and looked at me.

It seemed like they were going to target me next.

If this is the price of that brief happiness, running away by death might be one way.

I have to go back to life anyway, because it will be full of misfortune.

Death is the last refuge.

Those who rebelled against the ‘Director’ there may also have chosen to escape. I, who survived and escaped, ended up in this situation.

It just looked at me.

The corpse of ‘Mother’ who fell down began to twist slowly.

It was distorted to the point that it could no longer be called ‘Mother’.

The warmth that flowed from her was completely gone.

Instead, all that was left was a cold body and bizarre movements as if being manipulated.

‘Mother’s eyes move. The pupils moved separately.

The eyes, which rotated around as if rolling around, accurately recognized me.

“..Ellie..”

A voice that warmly called me.

“You have talent. Faith is talent.”

‘Mother’ held my hand once more.

“I’m sorry.. Ellie. You abandoned me because of greed while living as a priest.. You have to live. Must.”

It was cold.

There was a lot of cold blood on my hands.

‘Mother’ was silent at the end of those words.

[~..]

It frowned and slapped ‘Mother’ on the back once.

The sound of bones breaking was heard, but ‘Mother’ did not fall.

─Grrr..

Instead, it was emitting a cry that could not be attributed to a human being.

I was told to buy it, but no one was there to check if I really kept it.

So I stayed where I was.

waited for death Death is an escape.

“wait a minute.”

A greasy voice came from the open door.

It was a voice that would never be forgotten, and made my body tremble.

I didn’t think it was out. Because we lived in the same district. But I didn’t expect to see a reunion like this.

The ‘Director’ came. The grunting noises of ‘Mother’ and the being’s staring at her all come to me as if it’s okay.

The devil didn’t stop her. ‘Mother’ didn’t stop her either. As if you were on the same side as her.

“you..”

The director laughed as he saw me sitting down. It was as if the sharpening of the corners of the mouth, revealing the uneven teeth, revived the fear that was imprinted on it.

“Is it gold nugget?”

grabbed my arm I got out of my skinny state, but I couldn’t shake off those thick arms.

I knew it instinctively. Her idea of exploiting me and preventing me from escaping to death.

I tried my best to stop him from taking me somewhere by driving my heel into the floor, but…

─Pair!

His head jerked to the side with a dry sound. Along with the pain as if lightning had passed through, the strength of the body that was trying to endure somehow was released.

“Follow me quickly. You’ll get paid for running away.”

Why does the existence of the devil harm ‘Mother’ and leave ‘Director’ as it is?

absurdity of the world.

A silver halo that doesn’t help.

Contagion of misfortune.

I just wanted to die on this spot.

It seemed that the rebound from having only slightly walked on the edge of happiness came too strongly.

Danio had said.

I don’t think it would be bad to bite off your tongue and die.

It was questionable whether he would really die from it, but there was nothing he could do in the current situation.

this is not death It’s just getting comfortable.

I’m glad I could feel the warmth at the end.

The host of the plague of unhappiness, who does not even know his own name.

Unfortunately, misfortune didn’t seem contagious to this person who really bothered me.

It was only when I made up my mind completely that I could vaguely understand the relationship between the ‘Director’ and the devil.

“Huhhhhh.. ok.. now I’m rich..”

“really?”

“Yeah.. really.. ..what are you?”

“fairy.”

A man with dark, glowing eyes that remains in my memory. The man stood beside the ‘Director’ and put his hand on her shoulder and said that.

Of course, the ‘director’ did not know him. The man looks at me, ignoring the ‘Director’ who has a stern expression on his face. As if to say that I read my thoughts and selected the words.

“What else is the fairy talking about… I’m busy right now…”

“Hey.”

The man who cut off the scary ‘director’ in the middle said to me.

“It’s a bit late. I should have expected it… Anyway, can I help you?”

reached out a helping hand.

I had already rejected his offer once. And he left without even replying.

If I refuse this time, what will happen to me? I knew it without thinking too deeply.

I couldn’t resist the outstretched hand. I couldn’t forget the warmth I tasted once.

I actually really, really didn’t want to die.

I didn’t know who this person was. But those eyes, those black, shining eyes, and soft voice are so warm…

I had no choice but to hold the hand of this man whose origins were unknown.

“..Help..”

“Okay. Well said.”

“So, who are you to disturb me?”

“Warrior.”

Warrior… I’ve heard of it.

He is a human who has received the power of God and the power of light, and will save the continent from chaos.

“..’s first mate.”

A voice that continues with a little hesitation.

‘Director’ laughed at him once and then talked to the devil. It was still a language that I couldn’t understand at all, and the ‘director”s attitude towards it was like worshiping God.

“You were even worshiping the devil? It’s very varied.”

said the man, drawing a dagger and pointing the blade at them.

“Do you think you can defeat the devil? It looks like the magic bowl is also a small guy…”

“You should know that.”

The man was elated. Like you can really beat it.

Seeing such a man’s confident attitude, I trembled to become a ‘director’. ‘Could it be that the hero came?’ He muttered, showing a blatant fear of its existence.

The ‘director’ tips off the devil, removes his hand from me, and looks around. The devil also begins to look around. ‘Mother’ stood still on the spot.

the man moved Without making a single footstep sound, with all footsteps reduced.

It was so quiet that I, who was only staring at him, noticed it a little too late.

He carefully took out the cloth from the backpack he was wearing.

Then he came over to me and handed them to me, whispering very softly.

“I’m wrapped up well. I’m covering my ears.”

It was a small voice that I couldn’t hear if I wasn’t paying attention.

And I listened to it straight away, covered my eyes with a cloth, and covered my ears with my hands.

And..

Wooddeuk. pop.

There was a very low, creepy sound, like something snapping and breaking.

“aaa!!!”

A high-frequency screaming sound, which the ‘Director’ had never heard before, scratched his blocked ears sharply.
