The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

044. A man and a woman at night (2)

The night deepened.

Tia blinked and looked up at the ceiling.

I said I was going to sleep, but I couldn’t sleep.

Ethan seemed to be asleep.

There was only a whisper that could be heard.

‘under… , What nonsense am I.’

I was about to sigh.

Why didn’t you just confess?

This isn’t some kid’s play.

‘Will you marry me?’

It was an absurd word even if he said it himself.

Was it because I was too intoxicated?

It was like the day I drank too much, my face was all hot.

Even after inadvertently spitting it out, I was at a loss as to how to deal with it.

So, I evaded it as a joke.

‘I must have been crazy for a moment.’

Tia tossed and turned and glanced at Ethan.

A wide back appeared.

“there… Ethan… . sleep?”

There was no answer coming back.

In the end, the shame returned with a double.

‘Doesn’t I look like a woman?’

It was Tia, who had read such novels as usual.

In this case, the possible events were well known.

Of course, Tia knew very well that fiction and reality are different.

‘He’s a human I can’t understand.’

Ethan has always been like that.

From the first time we met at the academy.

Don’t you suddenly offer yourself a bet?

And don’t you propose a business first?

At first, I thought he approached her because of the background of Erze, to which he belonged.

So I was limited.

‘Everyone approached me after seeing my location and background.’

Many people have approached Tia.

So she decided to take advantage of those who approached her by looking at her background anyway.

Classify people according to their usefulness.

If it is worth using, use it. Or throw it away.

That was enough.

It was okay not to have deep relationships with others.

It was a relationship made of money, but they were loyal to the Ergé Merchant.

Ethan was also believed to be that kind of person.

‘I thought I came out of my own feet to sign a contract with a better place to come from the Lognes family.’

But it wasn’t.

Edan did not give a clear answer even though the Herze Merchant Company said that he would hire him at a high price.

The more I got to know Edan, the more I felt strange.

It just didn’t seem like money could buy it.

If they were to be hired by the Herze Mercenary, not only the top mercenaries but also knights who had been ordained stood in line.

At first, he didn’t give me a clear answer, so I thought he wanted more down payment.

‘But Ethan didn’t give me a clear answer.’

An unknown man.

An unsolved mystery man.

So I was more curious, so I wanted to know more, so I wanted more.

I thought I would die of shame when we met by chance at a bookstore and ran into each other while choosing such and such novels.

It was nice to meet you in the social world.

Even though he was Sylvia’s partner.

The place where the nobles and the rich all gathered was the social circle of the Central class.

There, Ethan was ignored as a commoner.

But he handled it like an adult.

‘I defeated the opponent with my skills.’

At that time, Tia felt thrilled as well.

The Ergé Merchant is obviously a gigantic Merchant.

Even so, Tia’s status was that of a commoner.

The walls of identity were huge and solid.

He had to endure contempt and neglect in aristocratic society.

That’s why Tia cheered for Ethan, a commoner, in the socialite duel.

And when Ethan won, he was happy to confirm that his eyesight wasn’t wrong.

‘I wanted to buy you like I buy expensive things. I wanted to invest in you.’

So I’ve been testing Ethan.

I wondered how long he would last.

However, Ethan just walked the path he had to take.

‘A true warrior who knows honor and trust… .’

Know honor, stay away from worldly desires, and protect the world.

If such a person could be called a hero, Edan was a true hero.

It wasn’t like he was aiming for an academy diploma.

‘Every time I see you, I feel like a snob.’

Tia let out a short sigh.

‘I still want to have you. And I’m a really ugly person who’s thinking about how and how to have you.’

Knowing this thought, it was obvious that Ethan would look at him pitifully.

‘I don’t know. I’m not even sure when I’ve ever had a genuine friendship with someone other than money or need or a contract.’

It was so far away that I can’t even remember.

I even doubted that it had ever happened.

‘Still, I want you to know that I hate myself for that.’

Tia forced her eyes shut.

spent so much time

Even then, I couldn’t fall asleep easily.

* * *

Sepia was staring blankly out of the cave.

Anya, who was by my side, was asleep with her back against the wall.

The reason they are here is simple.

When I tried to leave the summoning circle, a problem occurred.

A crack formed in the air.

And before I knew it, I was forcibly summoned to a forest I had never seen before.

At first, I thought this might be part of the test.

However, I do not remember receiving such a notice.

‘Someone skillfully touched the summoning circle.’

In the end, I had no choice but to think so.

The crystal ball was dead and foggy.

To make matters worse, rain poured down.

The good news was that they were able to find the cave in a hurry.

In the end, Sepia and Anya had no choice but to take refuge in a cave to avoid the rain.

That was the reason the two of them were here.

“Aren’t you sleeping yet?”

Anya, who had her eyes closed, asked.

“I just can’t sleep.”

“I heard there is no need to stay vigilant because there is boundary magic.”

“It is, but… .”

“Then close your eyes.”

Sepia could hardly shake the thought that she had fallen into a trap.

I was suspicious from the fact that the crystal ball didn’t work.

In any case, you should conserve your stamina.

‘I’ve installed the barrier, so it’ll be fine.’

Sepia closed her eyes.

When morning came, the fog and rain had lifted.

Anya and Sepia walked along the forest for a long time.

Soon the two were able to get out of the forest and reach a large fort.

It was Arbis Castle.

300 years ago, it was the place where the Imperial Army fought against the Necromancers.

Most of the outer walls had collapsed due to the battle at that time, to the extent that it can be called ruins now.

“sepia? A child?”

And Sepia and Anya met Arthur and Tesha there. Arthur looked back and forth between Sepia and Anya.

“Why are you guys here?”

“hahahaha, is that what I want to ask?”

Arthur told what had happened to him.

When it was reverse summoned, it fell near here, and suddenly came to this place to escape the rain.

That was Arthur’s explanation.

“Neither do we.”

Just then, Arthur’s stomach rumbled.

I hadn’t eaten since lunch yesterday.

Sepia also set her eyes on Tesha behind Arthur.

Tesha looked hungry as well.

“Are you both hungry?”

“hahahaha, yes. I was just trying to hunt.”

Sepia took out a set of tea and cookies from subspace.

It was the only thing to eat.

It was comforting that the quantity was sufficient.

“Would you like to fill your stomach at least a little?”

“Ah oh… , Okay.”

Arthur smiled awkwardly and nodded.

* * *

“Did you find out anything?”

Breakfast was freshly caught rabbit.

I’m sorry rabbit, but I couldn’t help it.

Because I want to eat everything and live.

To eat a rabbit that I thought I would never eat in my life came into a novel.

After filling our stomachs like that, we were out of the woods.

And now, Tia was calling a crow.

It seemed that the bloodline of the elves was great.

It was because I was able to have a friendliness bonus not only to spirits but also to animals.

Tia sang the song magically.

As she sang in a soft voice, animals like squirrels and crows approached her.

“Go and do some research on where there are people around.”

As she whispered softly, the crow nodded.

Soon the crow flew into the sky.

“How long do I have to wait?”

“Patience is bitter and the fruit is said to be sweet.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Wait eagerly.”

Five or ten minutes passed like that.

I wanted to wait generously, but I couldn’t.

that buck

It was because a knight in black armor appeared in front of him.

The inside of the helmet was filled with darkness, as if it had no face.

Only two red lights shone brightly in the darkness.

Looking at the appearance, it was the Death Knight described in the novel.

The problem was that he wasn’t the guy that would appear in this field trip episode in the novel.

“I think I must have been imprisoned?”

“I think so.”

The original school trip episode is not like this.

On the last day of the school trip, courage training takes place, and the main episode is that Tesha, who was Arthur and his partner, is attacked by a group of zombie ghouls while taking a courage training course.

In this way, the Death Knight did not come out diligently.

“Support behind Tia.”

It goes without saying, but if the near-dealer catches up, the one-dealer loses its pulse.

Tia is an Elementalist, but to put it mildly, she’s a one-dealer.

She, too, was well aware of her situation.

“I know. Please protect me.”

I pulled out my sword as I stepped in front of Tia.

Since Death Knight revived a dead knight, the combat power of the object differs depending on the combat power of the living knight.

So, if it was a strong knight in life, that knight will be strong even after becoming a Death Knight.

“Who the hell are you?”

“I… . Who am I?」

The ghastly voice gave goose bumps to his forearms.

There was resonance in the voice, but it was empty, like the sounds you hear in a cave.

what’s the voice… .

Then Tia murmured.

“This is the knight armor of the 7th Knights of the Empire 300 years ago. And even a giant halberd.”

At the words that followed, the grip of the sword that I grabbed came into force.

“It’s ‘Halberd Rien’ who protected the bridge from the undead army.”
