Chapter 023. is this a dream?

“… … .”

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a cluster of stars filling the sky.

Rhaast stared at the stars for a while, then fumbled for his face.

It was a bare face without a helmet.

“Woke up?”

Someone sitting next to him waved his hand.

Aaron was chewing on the jerky and looking down at him.

“how… … What happened? I’m obviously… … .”

“I passed out while rolling on the floor of the cave in pain. Do you know how much I suffered for carrying you up?”

“Bocchan… … Did you carry me up?”

Rhaast got up and looked around.

Indeed, he was lying in a large clearing on top of a cliff, not in his pupil.

“You are heavier than I thought. Is it because of the armor?”

He even had his armor on.

Aaron did not even take off his armor and moved it entirely.

‘Well, a man who beats a golem with his bare hands is like this.’

Rhaast has now decided to give up questioning the young lord’s actions.

“Where is my helmet?”

He got up from his seat and looked around.

Searching for his helmet as soon as he wakes has been a long-standing habit he has acquired since his illness.

“here.”

Aaron shook Rhaast’s helmet over his head.

And the moment Raast reached out, he threw it down the cliff.

The helmet, which had been worn like a part of the body for years, disappeared into the darkness under the cliff.

“… … uh?”

Raast watched blankly as the helmet fell.

It happened so suddenly that it took me a little longer to understand the situation.

“this… … What are you doing?”

A moment later, he glared at Aaron, his eyes filled with suppressed anger.

“Oh, sorry. My hand slipped.”

“I believe there must be a reason for doing this.”

“just. It was because wearing a helmet seemed a bit stuffy.”

“You said it was just because you looked frustrated? That helmet isn’t just a piece of armor! You know, lord, too!”

For Rhaast, the helmet was both a mask and a garment to cover his wounds.

What Aaron had just done was tantamount to peeling off the skin and throwing it away.

“It was like that until an hour ago.”

“… … What does it mean.”

“Raise your hand and touch your forehead.”

Aaron said with a sad face.

Raast kept his mouth shut and brought his hand to his forehead.

“… … ?”

After a while, Raast’s mouth, which was groping for his forehead, gradually opened.

There was no Even the thick skin and the ugly horns were all gone.

All I could feel was the skin of an ordinary person.

“this… … Are you dreaming? Did you feed me hallucinogens or something?”

“well.”

Aaron laughed and said.

Raast pinched his cheek with trembling hands.

It hurt. It hurt enough to bring tears to my eyes.

dump-

Rhaast knelt down and constantly touched his face.

The pinched cheeks were bruised and the skin rubbed against the gauntlet was red, but it didn’t matter.

“thank you. Thank you, lord. thank you.”

He held back his tears and bowed his head towards Aaron.

Aaron watched him for a while, then nodded with a pleased look.

“I just need to know.”

* * *

“The food here tastes good.”

the next morning.

Rhaast said while eating a steaming chicken leg.

He and Aaron returned to the inn around dawn.

I couldn’t sleep all night, but I didn’t feel tired at all.

“Stop touching your forehead. It will wear out.”

Aaron ate the soup and scolded him.

After throwing off his helmet last night, Raast stroked his forehead whenever he had a chance.

When people looked at her, she flinched and covered her forehead. It seemed that she wasn’t used to her changed face.

“hahahaha. My hand is going up without me noticing.”

Rhaast laughed awkwardly and lowered his hand.

It seemed like it would take some time to get used to this manly forehead.

“What are you going to do now anyway?”

“huh? what?”

“Sir Victor and Master Zeke. Are you really going to go with me?”

Raast glanced at the top of the stairs.

Viktor and Zeke hadn’t come out of the room yet.

“You think so? why?”

“Well, I thought you knew, but you don’t. The route Sir Viktor showed me yesterday. actually… … .”

“All of them are monster spawning areas?”

“uh? Did you know?”

“of course.”

“You’re going with me even though you know that?”

Rhaast’s eyebrows twitched like waves.

Aaron slurped the rest of the soup and nodded.

“I expected this from when I heard that Viktor would come as an escort. He’s a knight from his mother’s family. He must have conspired with his aunt.”

It was obvious without looking at what he was thinking when he made this route.

After throwing Aaron in a monster-infested place, return to the mansion after confirming that he is dead.

A simple and reliable method using the characteristics of the Tmoline Mountains.

But Aaron was well aware of their thoughts.

“Why do you think I brought Zeke in?”

“Iknow, right. Why did he bring Master Zeke even after asking the Baron? It’s just an added load.”

Raast crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.

He didn’t understand why he had to take Zeke on this difficult journey.

It was because taking a child wrapped in a skirt and not knowing anything about the outside world would make the journey doubly difficult.

No matter how stubborn and childish he was, there were more than once or twice when he wanted to ram his head into Mineville.

“Zeke is not a burden. A great shield.”

“A shield?”

“Victor follows his aunt’s words better than his father or Gardi. There’s no way someone like that would endanger Zeke.”

“oh… … . I see.”

“No matter what tricks Viktor does, we just have to stick to his ass.”

Aaron said that and pointed towards the stairs with his chin.

“Ai, why are your ears itching so much?”

Zeke, who had just woken up from his sleep, was coming down rubbing his ears.

* * *

After Viktor and Zeke woke up, the group finished their meal and went out of town.

Zeke groaned as he wanted to rest a little longer, but he had a goal, but he couldn’t just relax.

“Where did you throw away the helmet you cherished so much?”

Viktor asked after leaving the village.

Rhaast has never taken off his helmet since he signed a contract with Count Arnin.

But for some reason, when I woke up today, I suddenly had a bare face.

“The inside was rusty, so I just threw it away. I was fine with the car that gradually loosened up. Why, are you jealous because you are so handsome?”

Raast swept his bangs in an elegant manner.

‘A guy I don’t like to see. Because he looks like a parasitic brother.’

Victor’s face crumpled slightly.

It’s a face that can’t be called ugly, but when you talk to him, the judges are twisted for some reason.

If it hadn’t been for Aaron and Zeke, I would have punched him in the jaw right away.

“You know the longitude, but the Tmoline Mountains are a dangerous place. Be careful not to regret taking off your helmet.”

“Who is going to do it? I heard that you had a fight in Tmoline before, so if you do it, you will get a serious nose injury.”

At this point, he might have taken a step back, but Rhaast didn’t say a word.

‘You’re not like him. The bluff is piercing the sky for the subject who has just entered the user to come. Let’s see how long it lasts.’

Viktor clicked his tongue and pulled out a map.

That ugly knight and Aaron die within two days.

It only hurt my mouth to have to uselessly argue with a guy who would die anyway.

“We have about two days left to reach our destination. We go this way… … .”

He pointed to the route drawn on the map and outlined the way forward.

From noble mtl dot com

‘That’s the village of Gnoll, that’s the haunted area of trolls, that’s full of zombies and ghouls, and that’s cool. It’s a place full of cannibals over there.’

Aaron muttered to himself as he looked at the direction Viktor had pointed to.

His purpose is to fight moderately when monsters appear, then run away with Zeke.

But Aaron had no intention of letting him get his way.

“Excellent strategy, vice-captain. You have no idea how fortunate I am to be here with you.”

“It is overrated. So let’s start… … .”

“Zeke, this is a good opportunity for you too. it is not so?”

“opportunity? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Zeke, who was watching the map with a nervous expression, shook his shoulders.

‘Did he notice?’

If this quick-witted bastard figured out the plan, everything would be ruined.

Just in time, I was reliving the conversation I had with my mother, and a cold sweat formed on my temples.

“This is the route the vice-captain devised all night thinking of us. It’ll be that safe, so it’ll be a good opportunity to test the skills you’ve built over the years.”

Fortunately or unfortunately, Aaron came up with something far beyond Zeke’s expectations.

Zeke looked at him with a relieved but anxious expression on the other hand.

“So you mean you’re going to take the lead with me now?”

“huh. You’ll be at the forefront with me and we’ll make it through the road. Actually, I also wanted to test what I had been training for.”

He looked out over the forest with a look full of anticipation, like a fledgling boy about to embark on an adventure.

As expected, they seemed completely unaware of what was on the road marked on the map.

‘sh*t. What should I do?’

Zeke chewed his lips and glared at Aaron.

If I said no here, I would definitely be treated as a coward, but I didn’t want to take the lead with him.

‘okay. They’re going to die anyway, so they’re treated like cowards.’

After thinking about it for a while, Zeke finally decided to take one step off.

The route Viktor made is full of monsters that are terrifying to hear.

If he insisted on protecting his humble pride, his throat could be blown off before he could even draw his sword.

“As expected, the lord. At best, only goblins will come out, but if you’re afraid of even this, you should cut off the one between your crotch.”

“Uh-huh, Raast. What are you looking at us for and talking like that? Ignoring them because they are young is also an oil fountain. Do you think we’ll be intimidated by this road?”

“Ignore you! I know very well that neither your lord nor Master Zeke are intimidated by things like this. So, I made a joke. hahahaha.”

Rhaast scratched his head as if embarrassed and trembled.

‘sh*t. I had to sew his snout first.’

Sieg, who missed the timing to refuse while hesitating, looked at Viktor with a distorted face.

Beyond that, there was nothing else to believe.

“Sir Viktor, what do you think?”

But Aaron didn’t give him time to help Zeke.

Viktor, who was somehow preparing to persuade with words, raised his eyebrows at the sudden call.

“yes?”

“Sir, you assured me that monsters higher than goblins will not appear on this road. Does it look like something we can’t even catch a goblin?”

For some reason, Aaron looked a little angry.

Apparently, he was offended by what Rhaast said a moment ago.

“My lord, calm down. I was wrong… … .”

“Victor! Please answer. To see us as cowards to fall back, frightened by these safe roads.”

Raast, who belatedly grasped the mood, apologized, but Aaron didn’t even pretend to listen.

‘Patience. why are you f*cking with me That bastard is just making accidents on a fictional day.’

Viktor glared at Rhaast, who was restless next to him, as if he were going to kill him.

If cowardly answers yes, Aaron’s anger will grow like wildfire blown by the wind, and if he answers no, Zeke must be at the forefront.

Neither side was happy, but in the end there was only one option.

“It can’t be. The young boys are the proud sons of Oddhaken. There’s no way I’m afraid of something like this. Lord Rhaast made a foolish statement that would infuriate a thousand people.”

“I see. Raast, do you agree?”

“yes! Lord! I have committed a mortal sin! Please rip my mouth out!”

Rhaast looked as if he would cry at any moment and bent down, then put his head on the ground and put his hands behind his back.

A disgraceful punishment given to knights when they deal with soldiers.

He seemed genuinely remorseful.

“Wake up. Be careful with your mouth from now on.”

“I understand, lord.”

Raast nodded with a nervous face.

The lighthearted attitude he used to show when dealing with others had disappeared.

“Zeke, let’s go. We have to show that we are not cowards.”

“Uh, uh, yes.”

Sieg, overwhelmed by Aaron’s momentum, involuntarily nodded.
