Kidnapping the Hero Party

19. Hello! Were you kidnapped too? (One)

19. Hello! Were you kidnapped too? (One)

A strong and strong morning!

“Huh… I’m tired… ”

Hero Luna woke up from the bed.

Training has always been like hell, so I didn’t feel refreshed at all when I woke up.

Still, I’m giving money to my family, so I’ll have to push myself.

“Let’s do our best today too! You can do it, Luna! Come on!”

Luna shouted fighting, and the hero ran straight to the bathroom.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and checked the mirror.

“What, I think I gained some muscle?”

I have biceps, muscle, and a little abs.

Could it be that you become a body builder?

“Keuk, I think I will be able to defeat you soon! The age of me, Luna, is coming!”

Perhaps she had forgotten the past that had been shattered, Luna greeted a positive morning alone.

But, is it because I’m too excited to be alone?

She was in the bathroom, unaware that the door was open.

“Luna, eat.”

“Hey, hey..! Uh, when did you come..!? More than that, you should knock!”

“… Did it more than 5 times. Didn’t you even hear a sound? Shouting out that you will defeat me with that kind of sense has no conscience, Luna.”

“Oh, I see… People can’t always be focused. Chii, praise makes it better.”

He complimented Hare so many times.

I have no compliments.

Luna pursed her lips and sat down on the bed.

Today’s breakfast menu was toast and fried egg.

When the delicious food appeared in front of my eyes, the sad feelings disappeared in an instant.

“Eat everything and come down in 30 minutes. Today is training.”

“Hey, it’s delicious… Oh, yes, I see.”

“And, don’t be too surprised… ”

“… ?”

What do you mean?

don’t be surprised Is it a surprise gift?

Luna couldn’t understand the last words.

Until you go out to the yard.

I tied my hair with the red ribbon that Junwoo Lee gave me and went down to the yard with a wooden sword.

A dark-haired girl was sitting on a chair and reading a book.

She was a terrifying girl with three hundred eyes.

It was the first girl I saw.

“Did you kidnap this guy again!? Gee, what are you really doing?!”

Kidnapped for some reason!

How far are you going to kidnap me!?

Luna was dizzy.

‘… Hare came in on my feet. How did he get here? Still, since we are comrades, I have to say hello.’

Luna smiled brightly and approached Saten.

The expressionless Saten.

Luna was taken aback by the sight, but as if not embarrassed, she smiled softly and said.

“Oh, hello! I am Lunasia Luna! What’s your name?”

“Saten.”

“… ?”

what.

Do you have anything more to say?

Confused, Luna asked cautiously.

“Is it the end?”

“… What more do you need?”

“Oh, no… ”

If I said hello, hello to you too! Shouldn’t it be the same reaction?

When I asked for his name, he said only his real name.

Luna thought to herself that this friend is also unusual.

Saten told Luna that she wouldn’t leave.

“If I don’t have a business, will you please stop? It gets in the way.”

“Oh, no. There’s one more thing I want to ask you. Why did you come here? Are you kidnapped like me?”

“No, I asked you to kidnap me.”

“to… ?”

“Do you need more answers? If not, please go away.”

Saten waved her hands, begging you to leave now.

Luna had no time to think and was kicked out with a blank expression on her face.

I couldn’t understand it at all.

“Usually, I ask you to kidnap me… ?”

If it’s the original, don’t you shout, “Please don’t kidnap me!”

If it was normal, would that be correct?

A child who came in on my own feet, or a child who asked to be abducted…

Common sense didn’t work here.

“Why the hell are the kids here coming in because they want to… ?”

Am I weird for being kidnapped and trying to get out of this place?

uh…

Luna clasped her head.

“Am I weird? ?”

Luna wanted to be weird, so she checked Hare, who was looking out the window.

Hare’s gaze was directed towards the uncle without a single error.

There was no tremor in those red eyes.

Luna shouted loudly.

“Hey, this isn’t it! Three, the world is going crazy!!”

“It’s not what it is, Luna.”

“Ah, uncle! Something is strange! Common sense becomes common sense!”

“It must be your skill that goes beyond common sense, Luna. Go around the yard.”

“Aww-!”

Hare and Saten.

Recalling their motives for their kidnapping, Luna, who seemed to be turning her head, ran down the yard.

It was very sad that she could not escape from this place no matter how much she ran.

***

Lunch hour.

Luna, who passed out from the harsh training today, and woke up sniffed her nose.

It looked like a golden retriever who sniffed a snack while sleeping.

“Ugh, what kind of smell is this… ?”

It smells.

The smell of delicious soup…

Luna got up from bed and checked the desk.

There was a soup with a rich aroma.

It was quite a luxurious soup with various vegetables and meat.

“My uncle says that one dish is amazing… Where have you cooked a lot?”

Anyway.

Luna salivated and approached the soup.

“what?”

However, there was something more important than the soup next to it.

letter.

It was a letter from the family.

Lee Jun-woo had already inspected it, or it had been torn.

“Chii, it’s a letter from my family… Who reads before me!”

Luna looked away from the soup and checked the letter.

The font of the letter was mother, and the letter contained the stories of the family.

They were light stories about how today was, how well the money was being used, and how the younger brothers were growing up.

Maybe it’s because it’s been a while, Luna’s eyes became moist.

“Ugh, I’m glad you’re still doing well… ”

I felt as if my heart, exhausted from the rigorous training, melted away like snow.

Luna thought she was really lucky to be able to feel the warmth of her family in a distant land.

‘Still, I hate you. You kidnapped me and imprisoned me.’

No matter how much money you send to your family, this is a crime!

In Luna’s heart, gratitude and hate coexisted.

“If it’s bad, he’s bad at all, sometimes he’s kind! I can’t hate you at all! a! I don’t know! I hate you! Wanna eat some rice!”

yum.

Unlike her mouth, her body is an honest Luna.

The soup bowl that Jun-woo Lee prepared was sparkling clean without needing to wash the dishes.

***

“Tomorrow is a test.”

“Yes, yes..! mister..! I won’t let you down..! I will replenish it today! I will find out everything about you..!”

“No, there is no need for that… ”

What are you trying to find out about me?

With her eyes shining, Hare is studying the language of this world.

After finishing Hare’s basic knowledge class, he headed to Saten’s room.

smart-

“Can I come in, Saten?”

-yes.

I entered the room at Saten’s cool voice.

She was sitting at her desk, reading a book.

It was a novel of a royal robbery in which a hero defeats the demon king.

I asked her, who didn’t take her eyes off the book.

“Are you good enough to read?”

“no.”

you are adamant

There were many things that Saten didn’t understand, so he closed the book and started pouring out words.

“Why do heroes save people? Sacrificing your own body for useless bugs. I think the main character of this book is really stupid. to live only for yourself. I’m just making useless fuss.”

“… ”

I have nothing to say.

How do you regenerate this personality?

The fact that Saten was the wizard of the Hero Party was terrifying to me.

Then, she started asking me questions.

“Did you send my letter to the family? Also, tell me why you came to me at once.”

“… I did send I’m here to teach you magic. That’s why I kidnapped you.”

“I’m glad I didn’t come here to be rude.”

Saten said as if it was a good thing, not a bother.

Then he brought his face to me where my nose would touch.

“So it is. How did you use that magic back then?”

“… Your face is too close, stay behind, I’ll tell you the magic after that.”

“yes.”

Saten followed without saying a word.

He seemed genuinely wanting to learn the magic I used.

The magic that she developed, used, and passed down to me.

“Hmm, first, let me tell you the name of the magic you will use.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“The one who turned people into dust and destroyed their very existence. That magic is called ‘non-attribute’ magic.”

“lie. The world is made up of four elements. There is no such thing as non-attribute.”

You lied to me.

Saten looked at me with a cold expression.

However, contrary to her thoughts, non-attribute magic did exist.

“It’s not cheating. The word ‘non-attribute’ itself does not exist. If there were no truly non-attributes, words would not exist.”

“What kind of pun is that?”

“Originally, the world is made up of puns. If you don’t understand this, you won’t be able to use this magic.”

It took me 4 years to realize this magic.

The definition of non-attribute magic is roughly like this.

If ‘non-property’ is ‘nonexistent’, the ‘word’ of non-attribute itself ‘exists’ in its place.

However, if there is a non-attribute, then ‘acknowledge’ that there is no ‘no attribute’, so the non-attribute disappears.

It is attribute magic with its own philosophy.

“To put it simply, if you want to use magic, you just have to think of it as if you don’t have any non-attributes.”

“… It’s hard. It’s the first time I hear it. That’s nonsense outside of the calculations.”

“I told you. Who made this magic? He was a genius who was greater than you. If you don’t understand, you’re just as talented.”

“… ”

Saten frowned at the words that gnawed at her self-esteem.

And, rarely, Saten did not answer.

He felt uncomfortable, but he seemed to admit that he didn’t understand.

“… So, how do you use that non-attribute magic?”

“Well, read this book. It’s the book he wrote. If you understand this, you will be able to write it automatically. Ask me anything you don’t know.”

“Yes, I will read it. But, I have one question.”

it’s a question

Of course, you will be curious to read the book.

I nodded.

“Why is there only one? This book is very thin. It doesn’t even exceed 100 pages to contain that great magic.”

“that. It was made that way on purpose.”

“yes?”

“I made it that way in the sense of learning slowly.”

“… ”

Saten tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

At the time, I didn’t know what it meant to learn slowly.

Only now did I realize its meaning.

‘Because I can keep you by my side for a long time.’

If you give them one thick book, the relationship ends there.

When all the magic is learned, the relationship between the teacher and the disciple ends on the spot.

Maybe she, who was my teacher, didn’t want to end the relationship by giving me a book.

Saten also means that.

No matter how much she studied magic, if I didn’t give her permission, the relationship between the teacher and the student would never be broken.

Saten asked as if annoyed.

“Where is the next book?”

“I will give you book 2 when you achieve your goal.”

“Hey, what’s your goal?”

target.

A goal that is also related to Saten’s life.

I said while gently stroking Saten’s head.

“Every time you realize your feelings one by one, I will give you one copy. getting to know your feelings. That is your goal.”

“… You make things a hassle.”

“If you are dissatisfied, you can give up learning magic.”

The sad thing is you, not me.

Saten stayed still, expressionless.

He seemed to organize his thoughts.

Soon, as if his thoughts had been sorted out, he nodded his head.

“…Emotion at least once. I’ll learn it.”

“It’s a good choice, Saten.”

I stroked Saten’s head one more time.

She tilted her head, not understanding why she was doing this.

Even the act of stroking his hair seemed uncomfortable.

‘With time, you will understand the meaning of this action.’

Your feelings are not extinct.

Saten’s emotions remained so faint that they could not be captured by the index finger.

It was a fact that only I could know, having experienced her past feelings firsthand.

So, the first class of Wizard Saten.

It was not a magic class, but an emotion class that started in earnest.

***

after class.

Saten stood alone in front of the mirror.

Then, looking at himself in the mirror, he started talking to himself.

“emotion.”

Even though I lost my emotions.

How can I get it back?

What were the feelings you felt at that time?

Saten couldn’t get the hang of it.

“… Was this what you were doing?”

pleasure.

The expressionless Saten raised the corners of her lips with her fingers.

It was a strange appearance with only the corners of the mouth ascending with dry eyes.

The smile had no soul.

“It’s very difficult to understand emotions.”

When it comes to magic, he was called a genius, but Saten.

I realized that I was no different from a baby when it came to emotions.

Then, Saten, who was expressionless in the mirror, forcibly twisted the corner of her mouth and looked up.

“…”

Unlike other people’s smiles,

Saten’s expression looked very sad.
