Chapter 129 (2/2)
And when the owner of that parasitic Mana showed up again, the stockpiled Mana, along with the parasitic one, would be absorbed into the Monster
So, when viewed from that point, the white bird was an exceptional specimen, indeed The host was not just anyone but the Kim Yu-Rin, and it didn't even take 20 seconds before she was driven nearly to death by its ferocious appetite
”…I've survived thanks to you Mister Orc, thank you very much” (Kim Yu-Rin)
”Call, if you need so” (Sae-Jin)
Chuckling slightly, Sae-Jin the Orc tried to exit the stone hut, but…
”…Excuse me” (Kim Yu-Rin)
She stopped the Orc fro out from below the is
”I, uh… ary…” (Kim Yu-Rin)
”…Wait here”
The Orc didn't take long to cook up soht it to her
”…I can't move my hands well” (Kim Yu-Rin)
He ended up feeding her
”Thank you” (Kim Yu-Rin)
Finally, Kiradually fell asleep
Pretty soon, the Orc became a butler - or maybe, a servant
When she got hungry, he cooked et in so body of hers, he pushed her back into bed; when she was bored, he sat there and listened to her, and even helped her fall asleep when she couldn't do it alone…
However, there was one upshot to all this: she didn't co inside, Sae-Jin could revert back to human form to catch his breath
Meanwhile, all these foreign happenings beca experience and a wonderfulfroh she had looked after many of her subordinates, not once had she received such one-sided care before until now
Yes, she was stuck in this darkness, and yes, there was that parasitic Mana still squirood everyday Of course, she was still human, so before she went to bed, brand new fears and even bouts of depression rose up one after the other But thanks to the Orc co to visit her bedside, she could endure it
As a result, her smiles occurred far more frequently than ever before
And so, while relying on each other, orthe unconditional anchor for her to rely on, a ent by
While her Mana wouldn't circulate until she received proper our back
”Rescue party, here very soon” (Sae-Jin)
The Orc spoke as he patted Cornlak He found this out after using the Eyes of the Wolf to thoroughly observe the sky-high ceiling Countless Knights and rescue personnel had seein the rescue operation
”…Is that so?” (Kim Yu-Rin)
However, Kie reaction that was neither happiness nor sadness While pouting, she began clicking her tongue Cornlak stealthily left the Orc's side and trotted over to her
When the Orc glared at the huge ith du
”…When we get up there, on't run into each other again, right?”
Kim Yu-Rin wordlessly brushed Cornlak's fur for a little while, before asking hi weather
The Orc replied coldly
”Yep”
She buried her head in Cornlak's luxurious fur with a depressed expression
Hermessy once more
A Monster not running into humans - well, that was par for the course, really No, it was si the obvious But why did the corner of her heart feel like…
Kihts Several useless and hts about the Orc and herself filled her head up
The two of the down here in unbreakable silence
Next day Kim Yu-Rin slowly opened her eyes, proht bea from above She then heard conversations
Realising that the rescue party had finally coued body up from the stone bed Her throat was parched and everyShe was about to be rescued, yet she didn't really feel all that good No, she felt somewhat lonely and disappointed, instead
”I see a stone house down there!! And then, an Orc!! Hey, someone up there, quickly pass me my sword!!”
Seeing that soht happen at this rate, she pushed her body and exited the stone hut As soon as she stepped out, she saw the Orc sitting on the stone bed, his face impassive as usual as he opened his mouth
”You woke up?” (Sae-Jin)
This ti
Her emotion was in a mess
To be perfectly honest, she didn't want to part ith him
This eh thick and thin, this emotion where she would feel happy and conflicted all at the same time, she didn't expect to feel it towards the Orc… but it happened
The ti enough, and the Orc's wholehearted caring was also enough to powerfully move the weakened Kim Yu-Rin's heart
”Me, say nothing froo up” (Sae-Jin)
”…I'll leave you behind alone” (Kim Yu-Rin)
”…What?”
”You're a monster, that's why” (Kim Yu-Rin)
The Orc glared at Kim Yu-Rin dumbfoundedly She didn't avoid his eyes and squarely ain Why was he being so indifferent like this? Couldn't he be just a bit nicer towards her? A certain emotion inside her suddenly welled up uncontrollably
”To me, it won't matter whether you're outside or inside this hole, if you are not planning to meet me anyways…” (Kim Yu-Rin)
Even while on the verge of tears, she didn't shed a single teardrop
”…Can't be helped Then, you, go up alone” (Sae-Jin)
”Ah, seriously…?!”
Even her final triuainst the determined Orc
Meanwhile, several Knights wielding swords shouted at theically-operated lift system
”Knight Kim Yu-Rin!! Is that you, ma'am?”
”…Yes Over here” (Kim Yu-Rin)
Although she hesitated, she still answered them in the end
”Please, stand aside!! We will take care of the Orc and the wolf!!”
At this declaration, she shi+fted her gaze to the Orc, to Cornlak, and back to the descending Knights above She stifled a sniffle and wiped the droplets of water pooling on the corners of her eyes
And then, opened her mouth
”No, there is no need for that This here is… the 'Hero' Orc, you see”
