50. Take a number ticket and come. (4)

I was overwhelmed.

Hestia’s first impression of ‘The Mercenary King’ could have been explained that way.

He regained his strength up to the 7th circle.

no.

There was even the help of ‘Lu’ to regain the level, so it was not inferior even compared to the time when I had all 8 circles.

It was at a level where he would not be able to compete with any opponent.

In fact, there were only a handful of people in the Empire that Lucia could ‘never’ win.

And the mercenary king standing in front of Lucia’s eyes.

It was one of the highest level monsters in the world.

“Oh, the reaction rate also passed. Originally, I was interested in this… … Are you interested in that too? Do you think the chaff is much better than the wizards?”

“I’m sorry. Is it rude to compare you to the old people of the Mage Tower?”

so that. Even as I said that, I was half aware.

Hestia didn’t even pull out her armor properly.

I knew it even though it was just revealing the ‘gyeok’ of that power in the middle of the day.

myself… … that it is an opponent that cannot be defeated.

With his own magic that has not yet been properly forged. That he was an opponent he could never defeat with his own magic that hadn’t reached the level of maturity.

It was only then that he could feel what Lu had said in the past.

Saying that if you stay stagnant, you won’t be able to help Cale.

Even though I came out after a month of preparation… … Because I met someone like this from the beginning.

The moment you swallow dry saliva.

A voice rang in my head.

– Body, hand it over. Lucia.

‘… … what? You said you’d be quiet for a while, not caring about anything else.’

By the time you reach the capital.

As I said before, it was Lou who said he wouldn’t interfere unless it was a dire situation.

Did you say that Cale would instinctively feel a sense of difference if he continued to use his body alternately?

And to some extent, I agreed.

Kale’s persimmons were often quite sharp.

If you repeat it like that, Cale might find out about Lou.

To be honest, I don’t think Cale would particularly dislike it for telling them about Lou.

If that was Lu’s position, he should understand.

what. I thought there must be a reason for not revealing it.

Anyway, that’s what I ask.

Lou said in a plain tone.

– Right now, it’s not a dizzy situation. I’ll finish it soon.

‘… … okay.’

The feeling that the movements of the body are leaving one’s will.

As soon as you get the initiative of the body.

Lou said, opening her mouth.

“… … So, you came to see Cale?”

little bit annoying. And boundaries and insignificance.

There were no boundaries. It’s like I can’t get enough of it.

… … Such arrogant confidence.

“I’m sorry. Are there more people in a hurry than you? therefore… … Take a number ticket and come.”

Since then, it has progressed smoothly.

A confrontation that makes the viewer feel sleepy for an instant.

In the end, it was the mercenary king who gained momentum first.

“Hmm… … . This, I can’t help it. If there is more fuss in the capital, I think it will become a nuisance.”

In a situation on the verge of bursting at any moment.

The ability to eventually bring a situation to an end without using even the proper force.

And what is hidden behind that boldness is, of course, confidence in one’s own skills.

under any circumstances. No matter what opponent… … There is no getting tired of it.

Confidence that comes with overwhelming ability.

Although she usually shows a strange appearance, she was also a magician of the 10th circle.

Even if you look at the history of the entire continent, it is unprecedented.

A magician who has taken one step closer to the ‘root’ and has transcended even the concept of time to some extent.

That it’s Lou… … .

It felt like experiencing it all over again.

The moment Lou left.

I couldn’t be more reassured than this, it was to the point where I thought that.

Soon, the paralyzed magic on the mercenary was easily released.

After the mercenary king withdrew, Lou examined Cale’s body with serious eyes.

“Kale, are you okay?”

“uh. I’m fine. We didn’t even fight in the first place, so what?”

Cale said that as if there was no problem.

Lu was still scanning every part of Cale’s body with serious eyes.

like.

As if there were invisible scars on Cale.

Lucia, who was momentarily heartbroken at that fact, asked.

-… … What’s up? Did Cale have any aftereffects?

Although Lucia herself did not feel any problems.

Lu, the magician of the 10th circle, might feel something different when he sees it in person.

Even if it wasn’t especially in the previous battle.

Because Cale went through several preliminary rounds before reaching the finals.

Maybe he got hurt in the qualifier he didn’t see… … .

The thumping and fast-beating heart added to the anxiety.

The one who occupies the body right now is Lou.

But why does the heart beat so fast? It was as if she was quite agitated.

-Lu, Cale, what’s wrong now… … .

“… … hahahaha.”

-… … ?

I tried to ask about it again.

Lou’s body. No, Lucia froze at the excited moaning that flowed from her body.

-You, no way.

Is it because they use the same body?

Or is it because they share the same soul?

In an instant, Lu’s feelings flowed into Lucia in the same way.

Cale’s body.

It was covered with clothes.

Neither the hard, thick armor nor the thin clothes could completely hide the body from the wizard’s eyes.

It wasn’t a level that gave off a thick and dull impression.

Strong small muscles that give a moderately sharp impression.

Unlike the first time we met at the Mage Tower before.

As if I had been training steadily, my body was clearly like that.

let’s watch it

──Creepy.

-… … creepy?

The sensation of your body heating up and your legs slightly tucked in.

… … No, this is not Lucia’s own sense.

‘Before training was good, and before regression was also good. It’s like this… … . After feeling fresh. uh huh I can’t stand it.’

-… … crazy year.

The moment Lu had conveyed that to himself.

I couldn’t help but inadvertently spit out curse words.

‘No, calm down and listen. I need to save this as it is and look at it over and over again. Don’t you know how inexhaustible value an unripe cotyledon is?’

‘Because bullsh*t doesn’t make a good sound?’

Lucia’s intentions were well revealed in that short curse.

As if trying to make excuses, or rather trying to understand his feelings.

Lou quickly explained.

‘Cale’s current body is incomplete, full of freshness! Not even before the training, not after it was completely over. A body you will never see after now! Isn’t it weirder not to react?’

-… … Sounds like an excuse from a man trying to commit a crime against a little girl, Lou.

kugung.

After pointing it out like that, I wonder if there was a bar I was stabbed myself.

Lou kept his mouth shut.

To believe that something like that was 10th Circle and leave it to me reassuringly.

I believe in that human who doesn’t know when he’ll attack Cale.

… … For some reason, it felt like my own eyes were becoming colorless.

what. anyway.

Even though he just said that, he was so shy that he couldn’t even directly touch Cale’s body.

– Okay, give me your body. because i’ll take it back

‘… … Ah, yet! I haven’t captured it properly yet!’

If I keep listening to nonsense like this, I think I’ll go along with it before I know it.

No matter how bullsh*t.

If you keep listening to it, you can’t help but become conscious.

“… … Lucia?”

Call of Cale.

Lucia, who took her body back, responded to that.

“oh. sorry. It’s been a long time since I used magic… … . I guess I was a little dizzy and my breathing was rough.”

“… … What, then, wasn’t it you who had to look at the condition?”

Let’s say it.

Cale doesn’t know the shady inner circumstances of this side, but rather says that.

The worry flew like a dagger into his chest and stabbed him.

Lucia, who had barely managed to recover, shook her head and said.

“No, it’s not that tidy… … .”

“No, what is it? I said it was the 7th circle and then got on. Or until the end of Mutuje, would you like to stay with me at the inn?”

“… … ! Is that okay?”

Because this was completely unexpected good news.

Upon hearing those words, Lucia opened her eyes.

I was still thinking about finding a place to stay at a pub near Kale.

If they let me stay in the same lodging, it would save me a lot of trouble, and I would be able to see Kale every morning.

“Well, there is nothing wrong with it. Because that’s where I rented it in the first place. We have a few rooms left.”

There are also a few rooms left.

Let Kayle say it.

A voice came out unconsciously, even though it was clearly not Lu’s will.

“… … oh. That’s a bit disappointing.”

That’s why I was stunned for a moment even after spitting it out.

It’s a pity, what the hell is a pity?

No, even if it’s regretful, what if I spit it out?

‘Lu, I just… … .’

– I’m saying this just in case. not me Did you say it out of your own will?

Lucia, who was suspicious of Lu even though she half knew it was not, kept her mouth shut at that point.

… … it got weird

After going around with Lu, he got stained before he knew it.

“… … ?”

“why? What did I say?”

But when Cale heard that, he tilted his head.

Lucia’s mouth was naturally spitting out excuses.

-Now pretend to be different. you too, just like me

‘… … Noisy.’

No, but it’s not to the point of being completely rude, so it’s okay.

that it is self-justification.

And in that respect, the fact that they are becoming more and more similar.

At least Lucia didn’t realize it.

* * *

mess.

Because there was no consideration for Hestia’s delivery.

The fainting Eric woke up while being dragged across the floor.

“… … evil. Captain. head. head!”

“Are you awake?”

Coudantang.

In response, let go of Hestia’s hand holding her leg.

Eric’s butt on the floor complained of pain.

“Ugh… … . Doesn’t Captain Hestia have any consideration? Even calling someone, how could someone who fainted like this… … Oh, there’s no place that doesn’t hurt.”

“Looking at what you’re talking about, it looks like you’re in good shape?”

“Is that what you’re going to say to the person who fainted after trying to scoop someone up as you commanded?”

Erik, whose anger rose at those words, sighed.

Let’s get angry It doesn’t make any sense to this person.

“More than that. … … The fact that I was dragged by the captain’s hand, is it possible that I’m stuck? In the middle of the capital? Isn’t it?”

Cale, as Hestia was interested in, had a move of her own.

In addition, the wizard who used magic on himself later even Eric couldn’t feel the presence.

If it was Hestia, who is hot-tempered, it would not be strange if she did not think about the future and had a fight.

nope, that wouldn’t be it though.

no way. This person must have his own thoughts.

“… … well.”

Let’s stop talking vaguely.

Eric openly frowned.

Hestia, who saw that, gave a dumbfounded expression for a moment and then said,

“Release your impression. Because we didn’t fight.”

“… … ! After, phew… … .”

Hearing that, Eric let out a sigh of relief.

If I said we really fought, how should we deal with the aftermath?

than that

That the brawler refused to fight.

“More than that. That you didn’t fight… … Are you saying Kayle didn’t live up to expectations?”

“no. … … It exceeded my expectations. It’s a pity to pick the fruit right away, to the point where I wait for the future.”

“… … her. Is that enough?”

Seeing Hestia smile on her lips, Eric made a surprised expression.

It was Hestia who usually never said empty words.

Besides, there was even a faint line drawn on Hestia’s lips as she spoke.

What the hell is a human doing to receive that level of recognition from the mercenary king?

Hestia, who was silent for a moment, suddenly asked.

“… … Eric. No matter how you do it, you can’t take out a member of the Reinhardt family, can you?”

so ask

As if he could understand the intent of the question without looking at it, Eric put on an expression of a madman.

“Do you think that will work?”

“Oops. okay. know. do you know I don’t know if I liked it again. Because I did something to curse. Not yet.”

After saying that, Hestia touched her lips.

Although he was interested in the silver-haired wizard for a while.

After all, it wasn’t to the extent of going crazy with Cale. To be honest, I wasn’t really interested in magic.

Body sword, kendo. It’s not perfect yet.

Even so, the swordsman gave off a smell and atmosphere that seemed completed.

‘It’s like this suddenly, without a prior promise, at the first meeting. It doesn’t seem like a polite thing to do.’

Hestia thought for a moment as she recalled the words of Cale who stood in the way.

… … I wish I didn’t have too much ugly hair.

thinking of such thoughts.
