45. gift

I heard the story from Dohanna.

As a result, I was able to understand the situation a little bit.

“Did they try to kill you first? Do you understand now?”

Right now, I’m trying to get rid of the ‘garbage image’ that has been placed on me.

“I understand… That, but you don’t have to kill it…”

I sighed.

Didn’t have to kill

What kind of authentic warrior heroine is this?

Oh, I’m about to die.

“What if I don’t kill you?”

“yes?”

“If you didn’t kill me, what if I die?”

“That, that’s…”

“They’re the ones who came to kill me. I could endanger myself if I left him alive.”

“…”

Dohanna lowered her head as she could no longer refute.

I sighed and looked into the alley.

A decapitated corpse, and corpses frozen in different positions.

“I’m asking just in case, were they precious to you?”

“It is not.”

“Then why are you reacting like that?”

“Because they are the ones who let me go.”

“……Ah, is that so.”

Well, it’s not very incomprehensible.

It seems that Dohanna is currently living a life close to confinement.

The Just guys might be talking about protection, but from Dohanna’s point of view, who doesn’t have any memories right now, it’s frustrating.

That’s what those guys brought me to in that situation.

I deserve to be seen as a villain.

But that’s it.

“Let’s ask one more question.”

I squatted in front of Dohanna and asked a question.

“Why are you here?”

He was dissatisfied with the life no different from confinement, so he escaped.

I know it well up to this point.

But why are you quietly following me?

Normally, it would be normal to try to escape.

If it were me, I would have run away to the end even if I had to go find the hero.

So I had a question like that.

Dohanna opened her mouth several times before speaking.

“Because I have nowhere else to go.”

I bit my lip as if I was crying.

After holding back her tears for a while, she opened her mouth again.

“This around my neck, it’s called a location tracker. Even if you run away, you cannot escape.”

“… … what?”

I was a little taken aback.

I couldn’t have imagined that it would even have a location tracker.

… … ‘If it were me’, isn’t the premise wrong?

Dohanna continued.

As if he was filled with emotions, he raised his voice a little.

“me too… Is it hard for me too? I want to run away, and I want to get some fresh air. But I can’t! You will be tracked wherever you go.”

Emotions once erupted cannot be controlled.

It’s the part I’ve felt the most in my life.

Dohanna was no different.

“You know. I opened my eyes, but I couldn’t remember anything. But people around me say I’m a criminal. He is a criminal who does a lot of bad things and kills people. I honestly didn’t want to believe it. I wondered if I should do that too, because I was anxious and scared. Still, I was forced to believe. Everywhere is a villain, and all of them are like that, so what should I do?”

Dohanna continued to speak as if she was letting go of the accumulated resentment.

“I endured thinking that I would be able to live a decent life. The memories will come back soon. It won’t be hard to come back. That’s right, right? It can’t be hard to go back to trash. But, but…”

Could it be that I couldn’t hold back my crying any longer?

Suddenly, tears were flowing from Dohanna’s eyes.

“Before you find your memories…? Until then, you have to keep struggling…”

You have to rely on someone you don’t want to depend on.

I don’t remember anything, but the people around me pressure me to find my memories.

This is Dohanna’s current situation.

… … It must have been quite a burden.

Dohanna shook her body and cried silently, then wiped away her tears.

“sorry. I didn’t want to cry…”

Looking at it, I started to worry.

That look is not a lie.

The emotions expressed are all real.

“… … ha.”

The worry could be over in no time.

I closed my eyes.

[Use the skill, ‘bluff’. ]

From now on, Heukmak and Dohanna are different people.

I just decided to think so.

“hey.”

“······why.”

It wasn’t just to clear the quest more easily, nor was it out of simple sympathy.

To put it bluntly…

because of homogeneity.

When you possess, you inevitably come to a situation where you have ‘already committed’ what you did not commit.

It’s unfair, but no one recognizes it, and in the end, you have to bear it alone and endure it.

Like Dohanna now.

It’s insanely unfair, and I want to turn away.

He too will come in pain.

I know from experience.

“Are you breaking this?”

“······yes?”

I reached for Dohanna’s choker.

decoration in the center.

It looks like an ordinary decoration, but maybe that’s a tracker.

[ Summon the artifact, ‘Dawn’. ]

Wearing the gauntlet, I grabbed the ornament with my index finger and thumb.

Give it strength and crush it.

The decorations were broken and the choker itself came loose.

“done.”

“Oh, uh…?”

Embarrassed Dohanna. I stare blankly at the choker that has fallen to the floor.

“Ji, what are you doing?! Like this, like this…”

On the surface, it appears to be resentful, but

[ The happiness level of the character ‘Dohanna’ has increased to 10%. ]

The numbers didn’t lie.

By the way, since before, whenever there is a change in the number, it informs you, why is this?

It’s nice because it’s convenient, but…

“Oh, I don’t know.”

It’s already complicated, but I didn’t have time to think about anything else.

“wake up.”

“······why?”

Do Hanna raises her body while asking that question.

“I came out after a long time, but there won’t be at least one thing I want to do. say it. I will do it with you.”

“Oh no! He must have been angry because he destroyed the tracker on his own. I’d rather just stay here…”

“are you okay.”

“yes?”

“They can’t kill you, so don’t worry.”

“… … How do you know?”

“I just know.”

Dohanna looked at me suspiciously, then asked me one thing.

“It’s like the fact that I called you by name earlier, and I’m familiar with you… … ?”

There’s no reason to hide it, I just said it.

“Strictly speaking, I am one of the victims.”

“ah······.”

Dohanna’s face was covered with guilt.

Maybe it’s because of what I said…

Originally, you have to listen to the Korean language until the end.

“But you said you don’t remember.”

“yes?”

“Then you didn’t do it.”

It was an absurd sophistry.

It’s just bullsh*t, and you shouldn’t say it.

at the same time.

“If you find your memory, pay the price for your sins, or do whatever you want now.”

It’s also something I wanted to hear in the past.

“Will you follow me?”

Dohanna stares blankly at me.

Soon, he nodded.

***

What were you thinking?

Although he was attacked first, he was still the one who killed the uncle.

Talking to such a person wasn’t enough, so I even followed him.

I am… … It’s garbage.

‘still······.’

I think I couldn’t help it.

how to say

should be satisfied

With every word this person said, I felt that my desire to ‘be understood’ was satisfied.

Maybe that’s why it followed.

“…Is there anything you want to do but take a walk?”

“yes. Because the purpose itself was to come out.”

“… is that so?”

the already darkened sky.

Only the faint moonlight and the light from street lamps illuminated the roadside.

“Lee Yoo-hyeon.”

“yes?”

“That’s my name. If you’re going to call me, call me by name.”

“aha······.”

Do Hanna turns her gaze and looks at Lee Yoo-hyeon.

Then I thought to myself.

‘He’s a strange person.’

I’m sure he understands, but his tone is rough again.

‘······Is this the tsundere?’

All I could do was watch TV in my room.

Anime was more fun than variety shows or dramas, so I just watched them all day.

As a result, I was able to learn a lot of information about that genre.

One of them is ‘tsundere’.

It was attractive to do everything while tickling, and it coincided with Lee Yoo-hyun’s behavior.

‘······That can’t be.’

The fleeting expectations quickly faded.

To be a tsundere, you must first have a good feeling.

However, Lee Yoo-hyun said.

that he is a victim

You can’t like yourself as the perpetrator.

It must be because Lee Yoo-hyun is kind that he is helping me now.

‘Why am I doing this?’

Even if you’re atone, you’re getting help by selling a hat.

Dohanna sighed.

In the midst of this, I couldn’t bear it because I was so pathetic that I was happy.

Then all of a sudden

-But you said you don’t remember.

What Lee Yoo-hyeon said earlier passed by.

-Then you didn’t do it.

why did you say that

“…”

For a moment, I felt selfish.

As Lee Yu-hyeon said, if the crimes I have committed so far are not my fault.

memory… … Should I find it?

“What are you thinking?”

Lee Yoo-hyeon asked if his expression showed emotion.

“it’s nothing.”

The fact that he had now lost his memory was an indulgence.

In that situation, what if you were caught having such selfish thoughts?

Lee Yoo-hyeon’s gaze might be stained with hatred.

I hate that.

This would be a selfish idea, but I still hated it.

“It’s okay, so tell me.”

however.

my feelings.

A firm determination.

Lee Yoo-hyeon’s carelessly thrown words kept touching him.

“…”

Still couldn’t tell.

“It’s really nothing.”

Lee Yoo-hyeon looked at Dohan-na for a while, then moved her gaze to the front again.

“I don’t know what you’re worried about.”

and.

“Do whatever you want.”

I was able to hear the answer I was looking for.

Even though I didn’t even say my worries.

It was a little strange.

“is that so.”

Of course I know that shouldn’t be the case.

Even if there is no memory, there will be responsibility.

I tried to hide the bitter feelings I felt with a smile.

at that time.

Lee Yoo-hyun stopped walking.

“Slowly.”

After muttering that, he looked at Dohanna.

Our eyes met.

“Why, why is that!?”

It was something serious.

I was nervous because of that, and my voice came out a little louder.

I wanted to, but… Lee Yoo-hyun was concerned about other things.

Eyes that seemed to be thinking about something.

“You can! I don’t know what you’re trying to do…”

Those were Dohanna’s words.

All of a sudden, Lee Yoo-hyeon became a ‘thankful person’ to Dohan-na.

So, I hoped that the problem would be resolved quickly.

Lee Yoo-hyeon made a slightly surprised expression, then smiled softly.

“I have something to give you.”

A small light rose from Lee Yoo-hyeon’s hand.

It was a beautiful light.

Dohanna swallowed a gulp and looked straight at Lee Yoo-hyeon.

Behind a smiling face, the stars embroidered in the night sky caught my eyes.

soon.

Lee Yoo-hyeon handed over the item in her hand.

“This, be sure to wear it.”

It was a ring.

“yes?”

Why are you giving me this?
