The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

100 – 097.Swords, Dogs, and Bones -3

“I’m back.”

“Welcome. It took a long time… Ugh?!”

Rin returns from picking flowers.

But for some reason, her body was full of her scars.

Clawed wounds, thinly bitten flesh, and dirt and leaves stuck to the skin.

No matter how you look at it, it looked like they had gone through a war rather than picking flowers.

“What happened?”

“No big deal.”

“No big deal! It is full of wounds!”

You have to fake what you can fake.

It was obvious that she had fought a battle, but Lyn’s attitude of pretending not to know was spectacle.

As she pondered whether she should keep asking until she told her, Lewen stuck her head out from inside her tent.

He quickly grasped the situation and, unlike me, began to speak in a bloody calm voice.

“Sister? How did you get hurt so badly?”

“Lewen, this is…… !”

“Tell me right. If you don’t, I’ll be really angry.”

“Ugh… ! The truth is.”

After Rewen joined in to argue, Lin finally opened her mouth.

According to her, she was on her way to pick flowers when she encountered a black dog.

And for some reason, she said that she was wounded while fighting because she had a hunch that she would be an enemy.

“There are dogs that can hurt your sister… ?”

“Bern-sama, isn’t that the monster dog you met in the mine?”

“That can’t be. Didn’t the teacher take care of that guy himself?”

“Yes, it is.”

I’m sorry, but he was alive and well and was in my shadow.

“Besides, it looks quite different from the monsters I saw then. So much smaller and cuter…… I felt a little bad.”

“So you took care of it?”

“I lost it in the middle of a fierce fight. For some reason, he went back smoothly.”

I had a slight guess.

Even after she waited for a long time, there was no sign of Rin coming back, so I was about to go find her myself.

It seemed that Chaos had noticed my hints and fled.

‘Then did I really fight chaos?’

This was a major event. I told Chaos to forbid any attack without my permission.

In other words, Chaos has broken its contract with me.

“Nuna, now I know. Come over here and get some treatment!”

“Oh, I see.”

As Lin left for the luggage compartment, Chaos peeked out her face from the shadows.

The ears of Chaos were slightly torn, and the fluffy fur was tangled here and there.

It must have been a fight with Rin.

As I narrowed my brows in disapproval, Chaos looked up at me sadly.

“Kiwooung… !”

[You say you feel unfair.]

“What’s wrong with breaking the contract?”

“King! King!”

[It is said that it was self-defense. He intended to quietly withdraw, but it seems that the human side started a fight first.]

“Can you swear it’s true by neutering it?”

“…… “Keeing.”

[In fact, it is said that both of you instinctively rushed at the same time.]

“Instinct… …. Does that make sense?”

From noble mtl dot com

Rin is a human, and Chaos is a demonic beast that thinks and acts properly, even though he is a demonic beast.

Are these two fighting against their instincts?

Even if Rin was like that, Chaos couldn’t do that considering the contract with me.

[This body seems to know a little about the reason the two collided.]

‘What is it?’

[As you know, the image of the two is close to that of a loyal dog. It means that even though their personalities are different, their personalities are almost the same. Because of that, the two must have felt a sense of kinship as soon as they saw each other.]

‘Then shouldn’t we get along better?’

[You know one thing, but you don’t know two things. There is no need for two loyal dogs under the same master. Only a loyal dog that protects its master first will monopolize the beauty. So, Chaos and Lin are inevitably in a competitive relationship.]

‘They instinctively realized that and quarreled?’

[I guess so.]

‘Both turned.’

I’ve heard of animals’ intuition and women’s intuition, but I’ve never heard of them feeling that they’re rivals and fighting.

In the first place, competition with rivals was a phenomenon based on subjective thinking.

I never thought that we would instinctively feel each other as rivals.

‘It feels like carrying a bomb that never explodes… ….’

First of all, we need to keep Rin and Chaos as far apart as possible.

If a situation arises in which the two of them are left alone…… I have a feeling that an uncontrollable commotion is about to happen.

***

The city of steam, Einharden.

This place, which was also called the City of Development, was the most advanced place in the kingdom.

It is a place where a unique civilization was built between Hendakfin, a magical city with a mage tower, and two mountain ranges, and it promoted power generation through coal and steam.

As a result, in Einharden, you could always hear the sound of steam and the sound of gears turning.

“Mr. Bern! Bern! The doll over there is moving on its own!”

“It’s a wind-up doll.”

“Have you ever been to this city, Bern?”

“It’s not like that, but I know because I’ve seen an acquaintance carry it.”

Because we have lived in a more civilized era than the era when wind-up dolls were made.

However, I couldn’t tell the truth, so I covered it up with lies.

“It is a strange city. Everything you see is unfamiliar.”

“It deserves it. It is said to be the most heterogeneous city in the Holden Kingdom.”

“You are such a gifted teacher that you are so quick even though it is your first visit!”

I stopped Rin from praising her by waving her hand.

I knew it in detail because I had read the contents of the novel and the setting collection.

I didn’t do anything cumbersome, such as preliminary research or information gathering.

But it’s just strange to say that it’s a compliment.

[It’s all good, but it’s so noisy that it’s crazy.]

‘Be patient.’

The level of civilization in Einharden was close to modern times.

A time when numerous inventors in the village, including the village chief Adesson, contribute to a higher level of civilization.

To that extent, the main springs and devices in the city had no choice but to run without a break.

It was a commendable effort, but sadly, the city was wiped out without a trace by the insane Breeze.

As a result, the kingdom’s civilization is degenerating, and people are completely dependent on magic.

The future to be destroyed has become something that never happened because of me.

‘Now that Breeze’s Cataclysm is gone, what will happen… ….’

It was impossible to guess how Einharden would affect the kingdom in the future.

Still, as a person who doesn’t want to see the Mage Tower shouting that only magic is the hope of mankind.

I wished that this city would grow quickly and shut up the mage tower puppies.

I never thought the butterfly effect would go this way, but I think I did a good job saving Renee.

Thinking of that, the corners of his mouth continued to twitch.

“Anyway, is this the right destination for this time?”

“Yeah, I think that’s for sure.”

I was sure from the moment I entered that I hadn’t come to the wrong place.

[All members of Einharden welcome the visit of Hades-chan, the best religious leader of this era.]

It was the door of the banner hanging at the entrance.

A lich who voluntarily became an undead in order to reach the extreme of magic.

A madman who refused even the rest of death captured the inhabitants of Einharden, who were contrary to magic.

Furthermore, a handshake event was planned to be held here.

So, I carefully asked her if she felt repulsive.

Then Hades…….

“About half of Einharden’s residents were the presidents of my fan club, so I couldn’t help it.”

While I couldn’t see it, Demi Richie was reborn as a great freak.

She may have come to prefer chatting and flirting with viewers rather than producing undead or researching magic.

And the people of this world are going wild without knowing that Hades is the lich who tried to spread the plague.

Is this a different world?

To be honest, if I had known about this broken world, I wondered if I would have been on the side of the demon king earlier.

What kind of fight has she been fighting…….

“There are definitely a lot of people because of the event we will be attending tomorrow.”

“The crowds were so loud that even the sound of steam was drowned out… …. The popularity of that Hades cannot be ignored.”

“Ugh….”

According to Hades, about 10 million people were supporting him.

About 1000 times assuming that the average number of viewers of the streamers I often watch was just barely 10,000.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Holden was more popular than the King or the Pope, so it wouldn’t be strange if people burst into laughter at Einharden.

“I can’t even watch it like this. Let’s go to the inn we reserved in advance.”

“Yes!”

Crowded crowds are a good excuse.

My true intention was because it was hard to see people who liked the wind-up dolls that were made after the appearance of Hades.

Among them, there were those who tried to lift the doll to check the underwear.

What do you say when you see a human trying to see a bone’s panties?

For me who took the red pill, it was a sight I could not bear to open my eyes to see.

I even saw Kang Jun-hyeok, who I like, holding Hades goods in the distance.

“…… What?”

Wait, why is Junhyeok Kang here?
