Episode 70 [Why are you hurting me](1)
When he met and chatted with Nagi in her library before her, Dante could guess that the always easy-going and thoughtless woman also had a deep wound in her heart.
I don’t know if people think I’m a weak person who doesn’t live with worries because I don’t change my expression so much and my tone is soft.
At the very least, Dante was equipped with excellent empathy, which plays an important role in understanding the other person’s emotions, so he was able to catch Nagi’s subtle facial expression and tone of voice well.
And even at this moment, Dante, who cautiously brought up the story of his hometown to Nagi, quietly looked into her emerald eyes to see her reaction.
Maybe this is the cause of Nagi’s scars. Should I describe it as a landmine? Possibilities were always open.
However, Nagi is still wagging her tail lazily with an expressionless face. However, as much as the atmosphere flowing around her, for some reason, he felt a strange sense of deja vu, and Dante shook her head.
Because bad hunches are never always wrong. She had to choose carefully.
“…No, no. Nagiya. Let’s put this on hold for now.”
“[……Ah. Ong]”
Sprout. sh*t.
Nagi cried briefly as if telling her to do as she pleased, and licked her paws with his tongue.
The most important thing is a cool-headed reason. It all depends on what place you choose to shelter in.
Cooling her head, Dante quietly ran his hand over her chin.
Apart from Nagi’s hometown, then there are only two options left. One of them is where you should discuss with Yeonhwa.
I wanted to avoid this as it was also a subject that could be repulsive to her, who for some reason had been deprived of her place as a god, but… She didn’t have time to hesitate any longer. Otherwise, she’ll lose everything to the crazy black dragon.
So, Dante decided to avoid her place for a while to share her story with Yeon-hwa. She’s intelligent, but it’s a bit of a stretch to have her cat and dog together, and she doesn’t want to be disturbed by her since it’s been a while since I’ve seen her.
To put it bluntly, she wanted to heal her tired mind by rubbing her face against the soft fox fur. It’s a bit awkward to show this relaxed side to others. I’m ashamed…
Dante, who stood up from his seat, pointed his finger into the forest and said to Nagi, who was working hard on grooming.
“Nagiya. I’ll be waiting here for a second. I’ll wait… Uh, I’ll think about it.”
Dante hurriedly curtailed his words. Come to think of it, he had no other good reason to give.
Uh, come to think of it, I’ve never told Nagi anything about Yeonhwa. Even when she went to rescue Yeon-hwa, she just asked her to take her to the empire, because she had never mentioned anything about her.
──Of course, Yeonhwa-nim is my familiar.
Nagi pretending to be a familiar and following me around. Should she dare to reveal to her that she already has a Shinsoo who has made her familiar? Nothing changes anyway.
Dante, who was trying to avoid his seat by evasive words, had to stop again without taking a step.
It was because I had bitten the hem of my pants.
“[Go together…]”
Then he stared at me with his twinkling eyes.
“By the way, I’m making an important life-or-death decision for all of us…”
“[………..]”
“I have to… I have to.”
…If you look at me like that, tell me what to do.
Haa, Dante let out a small sigh.
Go with me, what is that stupid word that freezes my hard-working legs?
The cute little mouth of the pants wriggles and pulls the cloth out of the forest. It was a very fragile century, but I couldn’t shake it. Oh, it’s like such a bewildered cat.
“[Don’t leave me alone…]”
“It won’t be long. I’ll be back soon. Huh?”
In spite of Dante’s kindly comforting voice, Nagi shook his head and gave strength to his hind legs.
“[I don’t like it…If it suddenly disappears again…What should I do…?]”
“That, it was because of the dragon god. It won’t happen anymore, so don’t worry too much.”
It was natural for her to be worried, but she didn’t mean to go far, just that she would stay in the woods ahead for a while.
No matter how weak I am, maybe I’m overprotective. With a wry smile, Dante put his finger in Nagi’s mouth and gently pulled out the tooth caught in the hem of his pants.
“I’ll be back soon.”
It’s nice. Our tiger.
Dante, who couldn’t bear to chase after the owner who was too firm, stood in place and stroked her sadly meowing hair a few times.
─Even if you look at it, you’re overprotective.
Thinking like that.
◇
“[…I see, that’s how it happened.]”
“Surprisingly, all of this happened in less than a day.”
Perish like a dog, god of destiny.
Dante, who covered his face with both hands and let out a sigh, patted Dante’s back with his white paws, and Yeon-hwa clicked his tongue.
Especially since the part where Olivia said that all the dragons on the continent are moving to catch that one, Yeon-hwa gave up on thinking about it at all.
In the first place, it was not an opponent that could be understood with common sense. That crazy black dragon.
No, there’s something wrong with this little boy. Ji told me to leave, so I went out, but isn’t it like asking why I really want to go out?
How many times have you been tormented and tormented by a child who endured for two long years with patience?
“I… Must have committed a great sin in my previous life…”
Maybe he was the one and only bastard in the world who sold about 100 countries. Otherwise, I couldn’t explain this strange demon life.
Blushing, Dante leaned his head on the body of Yeon-hwa, who was riding on his shoulder.
As the soft mane tickled my cheek, tears flowed involuntarily.
…I’m sorry for Nagi, but there was nothing softer than fox fur. Yeonhwa is the best. Fox is the best
“──That’s what I mean. Yeonhwa-sama, is it possible…?”
At Dante’s question full of expectations, Yeon-hwa raised his head.
It was because he carefully informed Yeon-hwa of his plans after explaining the long story.
First of all, the first plan was to escape to the demon world where dragons do not live,
The second, surprisingly, was that he wondered if it would be okay to defect to the Banya Empire, the land where he once ruled as a guardian deity.
It would not be an easy decision to exile to a land completely different in terms of lifestyle and food and shelter, but Dante made a serious request as if he had already made up his mind.
It wasn’t too difficult to take him. The problem was Yeonhwa herself.
She herself was deprived of her godhood for committing sins in the past and was cast out to the underworld.
Fortunately, she regained her lost power thanks to the power of Yeouiju that Dante gave her, but she still couldn’t find her identity.
Is it okay for this sinner to return to her hometown?
Other gods in the celestial world must have thought he was dead. I know how painful it is to live in the underworld with the body of an ordinary beast.
But.
Yeon-hwa put her chin on the top of Dante’s head, who was silently waiting for her answer.
─It will be less painful than an ordinary demon child would have suffered under a black dragon.
She decided to prioritize her duties as her familiar.
“[Even if it’s not possible, I’ll make it possible.]”
“! Yeonhwa-nim, that word…!”
Laughing at the innocent reaction of the demonic boy, who seemed to be smiling brightly, Yeon-hwa pressed her front paws on the back of Dante’s neck.
“[By the way, dear, what were you planning to do with the thunderbolt?]”
“……I will.”
Dante stopped laughing. I know. If this is the case, what should I do with Nagi…?
I am going to exile in Mujiseong without any plans in a country that is completely different from this place in terms of the surrounding environment and appearance.
I’m already entangled with me, and I’m going through all the hardships. Maybe I was just being too careless…?
To be honest, I’m the one Olivia is chasing, and I’m the only one who has to run away, but they made even me dangerous.
A lot of trouble. Just get help I’m sorry.
“As expected, it would be right to break up here…?”
“[Considering the safety of the thunderbolt. Maybe.]”
Look, isn’t Yeonhwa-nim saying the same thing?
Conflict.
And a decision.
Dante, who was wiggling his fingers here and there, put the lotus flower on the floor and said.
Yes. Yeonhwa is right. For Nagi’s safety, we must part here. Even if things go wrong with her, don’t let her harm her.
“Then… I’ll say goodbye.”
“[No, it’s better to just leave. Dante. Thunderbolt is a very loyal divine beast. Even if you go to limb, she will definitely try to follow.]”
──Anyway, don’t be needlessly persistent.
From noble mtl dot com
Yeon-hwa, who dissuaded Dante with a soft voice, shook his head slowly.
With a bitter laugh, he looked behind the forest.
“…I wish I could meet a good owner. He’s a much better owner than me.”
“[If you really wish.]”
“…..Thank you, Mr. Yeonhwa.”
Woodeuk, wooddeuk.
Dante climbed on the back of Yeonhwa, who had transformed into a moderately sized fox as before, and closed her eyes.
Please, pray to all the gods in the world, hoping that Nagi will be happy.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep the promise that I’ll come soon, but that’s it. As long as it’s safe to get out, if you’ll never see Olivia’s claws tear apart again, that’s fine.
I hope you won’t be sick anymore.
“—Hello.”
After the faint farewells that scattered unheard through the branches of the trees, Dante made up his mind.
“[You’ll be running at full speed, so hold tight.]”
“Yes.”
Because I knew that from the moment I left this space, the chase with Olivia would begin in earnest.
The moment I lowered my waist and closed my eyes tightly in preparation for the blizzard that would pass through my body,
On top of the cliff.
“[───■■■■■■■■■■■■!!!!!!!!]”
A thunderous roar rang out.
