My Friend’s Harem Is Obsessed With Me

67. leave that embrace

“……”

the night getting darker.

After discussing the strategy and direction with the other kids at the hotel, I went up to the roof and saw Sen blankly staring at the night sky.

In fact, it was a sloping roof rather than the roof of a hotel, so I thought it would fall off if I made a mistake.

I sat down next to him, looking at him as quiet as a cat.

“What’s up? The quest is over.”

After checking in the afternoon about the location of Haven Ren’s hotel and the number of nights he stayed, Sen informed him.

Thanks to this, we were able to confirm that he was only staying at Bethel until tomorrow morning, and if so, we could specify that the deal Michael was talking about would be done this evening or early in the morning.

“There is something I want to ask you again.”

“Request? Are you talking about a request?”

“…well, you can see it that way.”

It was called a request, but Sen never asked for anything from me. Even if it’s just hanging, he doesn’t mention it.

I just canceled the conversation because I felt like I was just trying to solve a problem because I was stuck in the frame of a request.

“No, it’s not a request.”

Sen’s expression, who was looking at me with a little joy, suddenly darkened.

“I won’t take it unless it’s a request.”

“What is the pay? What do you want?”

“……”

Also.

Seeing Sen shut his mouth with an expression that he had never thought of that before, I felt sorry for him.

“Isn’t that because if you don’t move on a request, you’re not a scavenger?”

“……!”

Sen usually pretended to be okay, but in reality, she felt a great anxiety condensed inside her.

The hunting team that had been with them all their lives had disappeared.

No matter how harsh their actions were and forced them to act inhumanely to her, they were no different from her parents.

Parents suddenly gave up their children.

I just threw it out without any information.

I suddenly felt left alone in the world, and that’s why I was forced to imitate the Scourge.

“Is it really that important to stay in the Scourge? Rather, now could be your chance, come out of the Squad and live your own life.”

“What is my own life?”

Standing up, Sen clenched his fists and glared at me.

“I am the Scourge. From when I was young until now, I’ve been on the hunt. live my own life? They and the chief are my everything.”

The girl, who was forged into a dagger for assassination, was extremely cool and calm while venting her emotions.

More than that, like they don’t know how to vent their emotions.

“It’s wordy, I’ve only been living for 18 years.”

“Seventeen years, I’m one year younger.”

“What is it, your brother?”

No, you lied about your age and entered the school?

Sen looked away from me with annoyed eyes and tried to go down to the roof but grabbed her by the wrist.

“We are not done talking. Kids your age must have thought they had lived their whole lives. Even though I haven’t lived half of it yet.”

“……”

“Are you going to live by relying on something like that? Is that really all about Sen? That someone else defines you?”

“Shut up.”

“Who told you to change right away? Do you know that the knot that has been twisted inside you for 17 years is so easily undone? But you have to try one by one. gotta try You know you need it too.”

In the past, this child was simply thought of as a link to the Extermination Squad. A tool that makes difficult tasks easy.

Yeah, I thought so too, but I changed my mind while spending time together.

This girl, after all, was just a child.

In particular, I thought that Sen and Michelle had a surprising commonality.

Sen is the parent of the Cheokcheoldan, the back organization.

Michelle Fortren is the parent of a fighting dog named Michael Fortren.

In the end, both of them knew that their parents were wrong, but they couldn’t let go of it.

I could tell you bluntly.

“How long are you going to be foolish? There will come a time when you will have to be independent from your parents.”

“……”

“As I said before, we can’t unpack all the beards right now. But it’s a story that needs to be started.”

A child so smart as to be strong couldn’t have known.

But, that’s just what I was afraid of.

Everyone does.

Each person’s circumstances are different, but eventually the moment when they have to come out of their parents’ arms and spread their wings will definitely come.

“Right now, the part that relies on the Extermination Team is large. Little by little, put that weight somewhere else.”

“Take it down?”

I gave a small nod to Sen looking up at me.

“Don’t dwell on the Reaper’s Squad, and go find yourself while checking and feeling what you like and dislike. Then you can naturally distance yourself from the Extermination Squad.”

“Am I going to find myself?”

“Doesn’t that sound like fun?”

Let’s laugh, thinking that if it’s me, it would be fun to experience this and that. Sen clenched his fists tightly and nodded his head slightly.

“In that sense, this is my request.”

“Request……”

Sen’s expression darkens again, as if he doesn’t like the tone or something bothers him.

I spoke hastily.

“It’s not a request, then… A mission? A promise between friends? What do you think it is?”

“Mission… I think the mission is good.”

Did it go from a request to a mission?

I don’t know if this is a good thing, but in terms of trying to change something, it’s a good thing.

Anyway, I’m afraid I’m going to say I don’t like it again, so I’m hurriedly talking.

“Tonight, protect Michelle Fortren. In fact, I don’t think there will be any major problems, but just in case you don’t know.”

“Michelle…?”

expression of incomprehension.

“Yeah, it’s a mission I give out of my heart just in case. And sometimes you have to pay off your debts.”

“Are you going to pay off your debt?”

“There is such a thing.”

“The mission is complicated…”

Perhaps he felt that it was different from a request for money, so he smiled at Sen, who had a subtle expression on his face.

“That’s life, kid. It’s weird that the choirs associate anything with money and goods.”

“……With only a year difference between me and me.”

Looking at her pouting lips, I felt that she was preparing for a change, even a little bit, so a hearty laugh flowed out.

late morning.

The city of Bethel was quiet enough to say that the city was asleep.

On such a late night, the gate of the Fortren family opens carefully, and Michael comes out wearing a coat and a hat with several servants.

I smiled as I watched the cautious look as if some robber had robbed the house.

“Come out confidently, it’s your house anyway.”

surprised people.

The servants hugged the bag they were holding like instinct, but I don’t know what it was, but it seemed like it was a trade item with Hebbon Len today.

“Daniel MacLean, you finally ignored my warning.”

Michael Fortren slowly moving forward.

A transparent anger welled up in his eyes.

“Didn’t I tell you, it’s for Michelle?”

“Didn’t I tell you that if you talk about Michelle one more time in front of me, I’ll kill you?”

Michael hands the hat to the attendant and throws off his coat.

His muscles began to twitch as if they were alive.

“It would be nice to be beaten by me. If he sees you now, Heini will execute you summarily.”

“Before that, everyone will die at my hands.”

His voice resonated as if he were in a cave.

Starting with his blue-grey hair starting to grow longer, blue-gray hair began to grow all over his body.

Thickened fingernails and toenails.

Teeth sharpened ferociously.

Since he was also a fighting dog, I thought that he might have been implanted with the power of the Demon Beast in the Forest of Demons.

“You’ve chosen a tougher guy than I thought.”

“You speak as if you know something.”

“Moon Werewolf. It is the progenitor of werewolves that fly outside.”

“……!”

As a werewolf, I could only see his eyes flinch, but I could feel his surprise at my words anyway.

“How do you know that?”

“I know enough to get herbs for your daughter.”

“…..It’s already late.”

The important thing is that it’s not just that.

About 10 servants also gradually grew thick hair and became werewolves and stood behind their owners.

“Wow, everything?”

This was a bit unexpected, but it didn’t matter.

Michael snarled at me as I pulled out my sword.

“Kill you, eat your corpse, and then go see Haven Wren and that’s it. Tomorrow, the inspector will have no choice but to return to suffer from numerous nobles.”

“Even if you go to the trading place right now, we won’t be able to meet you.”

I don’t know where the deal is.

“Heaven Wren won’t come out.”

Besides Sen and Michelle, there was another girl, a girl who became independent from her parents.

*

A luxury hotel visited by many tourists in Vettel.

Even though check-out is tomorrow morning, Haven Ren returned the key in advance, packed all his belongings, and left the hotel with his two escorts.

I was thinking of leaving this damn Vettel right after my deal with Michael Fortren was over.

It was annoying to have Heini, the Royal Inspector, but I was able to make a more lucrative deal by adding the condition to clear her.

“Cluckle.”

Haven Len left the hotel imagining what would be in his hands, but someone standing at the entrance to the hotel garden.

A cold-looking girl with short black hair.

There was an ornament similar to a hand-made lucky bag attached to her waist, and she was also one of the reasons Haven Wren wanted to leave Vettel.

“Hayoon?”

A wretched bitch brought by her younger brother from the East and a daughter she gave birth to.

He had been using it well until now, but the moment he rebelled, he threw it out mercilessly.

“Uncle, where are you going at this midnight dawn?”

Is it because of the enemy in Hayun’s low voice? The family escorts took a step forward.

“Shut up, you bastard who doesn’t work properly. Your mother had that half-faced look and sewed my sister’s nose, but you can’t even make one of those lowly commoners yours.”

“Father and mother loved each other.”

“I don’t want to share useless words with a lowly bitch. Still, don’t praise me for going anywhere and not calling me the Ren family.”

Heban Ren was about to pass by saying that, but he raised the sword in Hayun’s scabbard and blocked the way.

“If you go now, you will be arrested by the Royal Inspector.”

“Hehe, you talk bullsh*t well. Is that why you came here to protect me?”

“No, not you.”

Seeing Hayun slowly drawing his sword, Hebbon was startled and immediately stepped back, and his escorts also reflexively drew their swords.

“It’s not for you, it’s for the name ‘Ren’, which my parents and I put a little bit into, and to do what my father and mother had to do but couldn’t.”

“……”

“Uncle, if you are disowning, what kind of family would end it only by communication without seeing your face?”

Hayun’s voice, which resonated coldly, contained a calm calm.

‘You don’t show half your skills when you’re caught up in fear or confusion. That’s a big problem for prosecutors.’

‘But on the other hand, if you only know how to win the heart, you can at least become the strongest swordsman among the students in the academy.’

There’s one thing that people don’t really care about.

That was the difference between knowing it alone and hearing someone say it.

Hayun knew it too.

That the sword swings like a weak heart. If you take all of this, you can become a better prosecutor.

But hearing it in person was different.

A swordsman with a high score that was incomparable to himself told me directly.

If only I could get this done.

If he could seek peace of mind, that sword would be forged even sharper.

In other words, it gave the girl confidence in her heart.

confident that it is possible.

And today, it was time to put that conviction into action.

“Hayun Ren, the eldest daughter of Herbert Ren and Yunran Ren.”

Ha-yoon declared, holding a posture that seemed like it could be moved to the canvas.

“Today, I will give up my family name.”
