Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Homophobia (3)

21

Luna, who had been indifferent to most things, was surprised to see Rey dripping with tears of blood and backed away.

Rey, who was deciphering the circle, felt a stabbing headache and banged her head on the desk.

“Give up, give up.”

The situation was urgent, so I tried to catch the straw, but it was also unsuccessful.

Detoxification was used to point out the final direction for problems that have been solved 95% of the time.

It was runes and circles, and when I used my powers in a state of complete ignorance, it seemed that instead of learning anything, it would only lead to schizophrenia.

‘If you’re going to analyze circles, I think you’ll need to have a basic knowledge of magic after you’ve completely finished your eyesight.’

It was time consuming.

“I don’t get an answer just because I’m holding on to my weight and dazzling my eyes.”

Rey was reprimanding herself a few hours ago for wishing for a great miracle and straining her body.

The forcibly sharpened eyes loosened.

“Let’s do it as usual.”

Do your best, but take it easy.

When I let go of my obsession, I got a grip on how to deal with David.

What if you fail to kill David? You just have to gently rub your neck.

One of Rey’s mottos after reincarnation was ‘If you fall behind, there is nothing you can do’.

“But Luna.”

“…yes.”

Rey, who had wiped the blood from the corners of her eyes, looked at Luna.

His whites were still stained red, and he looked more like a ghost than a human.

Luna slowly turned her head.

Rey continued the conversation while covering her face with the towel next to her.

“I don’t like to ask about other people’s past. If we have to bring up old things between us, we can only curse our parents. What’s the fun of discussing who’s parents are more bastards?”

Actually it was fun.

누구 부모가 더 개새끼인가 개새끼 지수 매겨가며 낄낄대면 시간은 꽤 잘 갔다. there’s nothing to gain At most, I could learn a lesson that there is a lot of garbage in the world.

“Ah, the parents I always curse at are biological mothers… I’m talking about mom and dad. I respect my mom who raised me. She’s been very kind to me.”

“…”

“But it’s not like you’re cursing Luna’s parents. You should be cursing. Anyway.”

Luna remembered the first time she met Rey.

Ray, who had been constantly worried lately, had regained his cynicalness after shedding tears of blood once.

“Luna, you are born with the qualities of a wizard.”

Rey shook the towel that was covered with it.

“Listen, Luna. It’s a blessing to be born with talent. The problem is that there are many bad people who covet your talent.”

“bad people?”

“Yeah, bad people. Garbage who treats ‘people’ as ‘things’. Of course, that’s definitely not my story.”

Ray, who added four legs, removed the towel from his face.

“It’s entirely due to my complacency, but since you revealed your circle once, I’m having a bit of trouble. Let’s hide it from now on.”

“…Sorry.”

“No need to be sorry. I think I imagined the image of a wizard too wildly. A little bit… I used to think of an image of a stubborn scholar, if not a sage.”

That is, until the Count listens closely to the story of an incident involving a high-ranking wizard.

“I’ve said it before, but you should never share the knowledge you have learned with others. Whether it’s your parents, nobles, or teachers, don’t pretend to be smart in front of anyone other than me. Don’t do difficult mental arithmetic. It’s the same with magic.”

Rei pressed her forehead without speaking.

The wizard wasn’t a scholar, and Luna wasn’t just high in intelligence.

The idea that if Luna arbitrarily slows down her learning rate when she learns something can avoid or loosen the greed of others, she was wrong from the start.

“I’ll set a standard. Don’t try to do anything Karen can’t do. Except in front of me, never. It’s safe.”

“…I know.”

“Anyway, what I’m curious about is this. When did you first awaken to the Circle, and have you ever shown anyone else that you know how to wield circles and magic?”

After thinking for a moment, Luna opened her mouth.

After hearing all the stories, Ray said something.

“I’ve been picking up bombs.”

Luna bowed her head with dead eyes.

Ray waved her hand.

“It’s not your resentment.”

Luna didn’t believe it.

“It’s better than that. If you’re lucky, you might be able to tie it up and put it back together. It’s going to be difficult.”

Having reached the conclusion, Ray stretched out a lot.

“Let’s try hard for a month.”

It was a problem that could not be corrected after trying for a month.

“Oh, Luna.”

“?”

“I’m telling you just in case…”

After finishing the last request, Ray confirmed it again.

“Did you understand?”

“…yes.”

“Okay. You can leave.”

After letting Luna go, Rey thought about it for a moment.

You can look back in a few days right now, but before that, is there anything you really want to solve?

“Oh, let’s comfort Karen.”

*

“You look good, Matthew.”

“Thanks to you, I was able to learn proper swordsmanship.”

Matthew drove towards the nursery with Ray in front of him.

“Captain and Nana, it was one of the deepest longings in my heart. Thank you, Ray.”

“Isn’t it too late?”

“It’s late. But the captain and I couldn’t even make a core in the heart. I just let the mana circulate through my body. If I learn the right technique, I can get away with a half expert.”

“I’ll also ask you for the recipe. Maybe you’ll listen.”

“Queen, even if it wasn’t for the title, I think I could risk my life twice for you.”

Ray shrugged.

In fact, Matthew’s life was already at stake because of Ray. I didn’t know myself.

There was no need to tell me.

“After three days, Sir Didier decided to come to the nursery.”

“Very good news.”

“Are you looking forward to learning swordsmanship too?”

“Um… well, let’s hit it like that.”

Didier won’t be at the orphanage all day, but the very existence of it would be difficult for David. If you’ve heard the news, you’ll want to get the job done quickly.

Ray was happy to be able to narrow down the timing for David’s arrival.

“Everyone is coming.”

“Catch me right away.”

The children on the playground reacted one by one to the sound of running horses.

The children burst into cheers as the large horse approached with its wonderful mane waving.

Karen, who was not feeling very well, looked at the horse with her eyes twinkling, and soon noticed that Ray was sitting on the saddle.

As Karen was about to enter the nursery with a pouty mouth, Rey threw herself off the saddle.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

Rey, who rolled two laps on the ground to reduce the impact, sprinted and grabbed Karen’s waist.

“Huh?”

Surprised, Karen struggled, but Rey abducted Karen and jumped back onto the horse.

When Matthew with Ray and Karen turned the reins, he literally made a U-turn around the playground and got out of the nursery.

Yohana, watching the scene, smiled softly.

“After all, Rey likes Karen!”

*

“Wow! Whoa!”

Karen let out a series of short tongue-in-cheek screams as she struggled on the saddle.

The sudden elevation of the field of view and the flickering scenery made it impossible for me to come to my senses.

However, Karen was born with good athleticism and a bold disposition.

After a while, Karen, who had adapted to the saddle swinging up and down, spread her arms wide and let the cool breeze blow through her body.

“Wow!”

Rey slightly relaxed the hand that was holding Karen’s waist.

Matthew was about to say something, then just smiled happily, reminding himself that Ray was an expert.

As Matthew accelerated a little bit more, Karen, who was squirming, straightened herself down.

Rey grabbed Karen’s waist again.

“Karen.”

Karen’s cheeks slowly swell.

Rey reached out and grabbed the ball.

“How long are you going to stick around?”

“I’m not pissed.”

“If you look at me, why didn’t you get blown up while walking with air in your cheeks?”

“…because Rey doesn’t like me very much, I don’t like Rey either.”

Matthew slowed down as he noticed, reducing the wind noise.

“Karen, I like Karen.”

“I’m less athletic than Yohana. I’m not smarter than Luna.”

Karen, who had a gloomy face, wiped the dusty eyes.

“So what Ray said is a lie.”

“Oh my, you bastard.”

“Oh!”

Rey, who had untied Karen’s tied hair, gave her a little bit of honey.

“Karen, you are the leader of the orphanage.”

“…leader?”

“You’re sincere, smart, kind, and strong. Everyone at the orphanage likes you. Me too. Without me, you’re the leader of the orphanage.”

“…I hate it without Rey.”

“Okay. Don’t worry. But when I’m away, you’re leading the kids.”

“I… lead?”

“Karen, there may be children who are more talented in certain fields than you, but no one can take over your role. So have confidence.”

“…”

As Karen’s expression slowly unraveled again, Ray thought that she had just loosened up.

However, Karen did not take Rey’s words directly.

‘The reason Rey likes me is because there are Luna, Johanna, and Darren in the nursery.’

Without Luna, Johanna, and Darren, Rey would not have paid much attention to the nursery and to Karen.

Karen thought.

It’s like being parasitized.

It’s like a parasite that sticks with children who are more talented than you and struggles to share Ray’s interest.

Karen shook her head.

will try harder Working harder, I’ll make Rey like me even if there aren’t any other kids.

But if you can’t change Rey’s heart no matter how hard you try, then…

“Lay!”

“yes?”

“I really like Ray!”

“Yeah, I like Karen a lot too.”

Rey, who stroked Karen’s hair once more, hit her with honey chestnut quite hard this time.

“Aww!”

“And don’t be mean to the nobles.”

“Rey says Alesia is a commoner!”

“There were circumstances back then. Anyway, from now on, don’t approach people who look like nobles.”

“Alesia didn’t look like a noble!”

“It is.”

Rey shook her head and added one more thing to her future work.

Count Phillips is so generous with his inclinations that he will laugh out loud in front of him, but it seems necessary to warn the children in case he encounters another noble in the future.

The children were ignorant of the harsh world where one word was wrong and their throats were blown because they were brought up too much.

“Now, get ready to get off.”

After going around the village and returning to the orphanage, children flocked to Ur and raised their hands.

“I’ll ride next!”

“No, I’ll ride!!”

“Let’s do it rock-paper-scissors!”

Ray shook her head.

“Other friends next time.”

At the shocking news, the eyes of the children all turned to Karen.

Those gazes filled with resentment and jealousy did not dislike Karen. In fact, I felt like I was suffocating.

After a brief silence, anger erupted.

“Ray only cares about Karen every day!”

“Ray only likes Karen!!”

“Don’t discriminate against us either! Ride a horse!”

“Ride the horse!!”

“Hey, I’m going to pick you up next time. Until then, let’s set the order.”

“Then why did you only drive Karen today?”

“Polite word.”

“Did you burn it?”

“Yeah, Karen is the 4th in this nursery school. She has priority.”

4 characters?

Everyone silenced their voices for a while because of the curiosity that would naturally follow after the word number 4.

asked on behalf of Johana.

“Who’s number 3?”

“Matthew.”

“?”

Am I number 3?

Matthew, sitting in the saddle, looked up at Ray with axe-eyed eyes.

Johanna asked again.

“Who’s number two?”

“Jimmy.”

“Who’s number one?”

“You’re asking something obvious. Of course I am.”

“No, that f*cking bird…”

Matthew did not try to swear, but touched his forehead.

Arguing here, it was Matthew who lost in one way or another.

Matthew turned the reins over the noisy children.

*

After dismounting from the horse, Karen came into the room, wiping herself.

Outside, the rain started pouring down.

Everyone was slowly laying down the futon, so Karen hesitated from her seat and approached Luna.

“Luna…”

“…?”

“I’m sorry for interrupting Ray’s class all this time. And thank you. For helping me when I asked for it.”

Karen didn’t know that Luna was actually trying to do the magic, but she did know that Luna had come forward to do her favor.

Luna, who looked at Karen, slowly shook her head.

“…it’s fine. Karen is… a friend.”

Karen’s eyes widened for a moment, and then she smiled broadly.

“Thank you. And be comfortable! Luna and I are friends.”

“…yea, I got it.”

Yohana, who was listening to the two of them, smiled faintly.

“Hehe! We finally reconciled.”

In the meantime, there was a strange atmosphere flowing through the room, and it was very frustrating.

Yohana, who fell on the bed with the two of them in her arms, rolled over on her bed.

“From today, we can lie down and talk again!”

“If you turn off the lights and talk, what will Ray say?”

“Then let’s talk until the lights go out!”

After lying in a comfortable position and chatting, it was time to go to bed.

As Johana got up from her seat and blows out the candle, complete darkness came into the room.

Luna looked up at the ceiling and blinked.

Just then, thunder was heard from far away.

Whoops!

Although a little surprised, Luna quickly regained her composure.

At that moment, Johanna abruptly got up and shouted with a voice of joy.

“Lightning!”

Yohana, who had to put a blanket on her back, pushed Mia next to her.

Mia also rolled up the blanket and rolled with Johana to the place where Luna was.

Karen, who watched for a moment, rolled up the blanket and rolled over to Luna.

“?”

When Luna, who was wearing both sides, panicked, Yohana exclaimed.

“I usually sleep like this when lightning strikes!”

You can feel the warmth of the person right next to you and the arms and legs that are rubbing against each other.

Luna felt uncomfortable for a while at the unfamiliar sensation, but soon surrendered herself to the warmth.

The sky flashed and thunder continued to pour out, but Luna closed her eyes in calmness.

so time goes by

All the children in the nursery fell asleep.

“…”

A shadow permeated the dark hallway.

The silently moving shadow stopped in place, took direction, and then without hesitation flowed down the hallway.

The shadow, who had stopped moving in front of the door, put his finger forward.

The door, which had originally made a loud squealing noise, opened without a sound.

The shadow looked at the children.

There were four children tangled around, and if one pulled one, it was likely that someone would wake up.

If another child wakes up and finds out about this, it becomes difficult.

The solution was simple. Except for the blue-haired girl who was the target, the remaining children were quietly killed and the bodies were collected.

The luggage will increase a bit, but they are still young children, so it was easy to hear.

It is not uncommon for children to run away from the orphanage, so the disappearance of children would not win the attention of others.

The moment I stretched out my finger to freeze only my heart so as not to leave a bloodstain.

David stopped moving.

“Hey, don’t touch it.”

“…”

“It’s mine.”

David asked.

“…yours?”

“Yeah. It’s mine, I’ve been stoned and gleaned.”

David turned to face Ray.

Each other’s eyes reflect the feelings of the other, who resemble each other like a mirror.

sticky greed.

Although the starting point and direction were different, the dark red emotions that eventually reached the same destination were reflected in each other’s eyes.

Ray and David thought at the same time.

I originally intended to kill him.

I must kill you .
