31 - A Tale From The Past (6)

Festive songs were sung for their bravery in killing the arrogant knights. The rebels expressed their joy by plunging their swords into their dead enemies.

On the other hand, those who stayed behind during the war also celebrated their victory by spilling beer on the graves of their friends who would never be by their side again. 

Now they all come together and celebrate by dancing and singing amidst a fire that burns like the fire in their hearts today.

At the end of the celebration, there was a man drinking his beer and watching everyone from a distance. 

There was no sign of joy in his eyes over the victory, but he still paid tribute to his friends who died in this war.

In the middle of the crowd, the unrecognizable young man turned his head from side to side as if searching for someone before he finally found the person he was looking for. With light steps, he approached the pensive man.

"Why don't you go there, everyone is looking for you!" The young man told him excitedly: "You are our savior, you also planned all this carefully and I never saw you sleep peacefully during this war...".

"That's why we made this party, for you, for us, for those who fought together!"

The man sighed when he heard the young man's words before he lifted his chin, "Thanks for your concern, just buy me a cigarette and I'll be happy..."

Several people came up to them, and then a woman wrapped her arms around the young man and the man, "Come on, don't be shy, you're our leader," she said.

"Yes, Frona and Brad are right when they say that you are meritorious. Because of your strategy, we are now victorious and have managed to win this battle safely!"

"..." The man did not say anything before muttering: "Today I probably destroyed the life of a loving family."

"Huh?"

"Yes?"

"... Ah."

A question mark appeared over both of their heads, hearing that murmur naturally shocked them and they finally came to their own conclusions. Frona said, "So what? One of their families is also scum, we're all sinners here, and I've got no problem with what you're planning."

"She's right!" Brad's voice was in agreement with Frona's statement. But not her, who simply stayed silent and said nothing.

She knew what he meant.

BOOM!!!

The explosions continued, anger and hatred. The villagers continued to bombard a small house full of flowers, telling them to get out, "GET OUT, BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT THAT IMMORAL CHILD, OUR VILLAGE HAS BEEN UNDER A CURSE FROM OUR GOD OF HOPE!"

"GET OUT!!!" 

Anger expressed in the death of a mother who lost her baby and her child.

Blaming someone without concrete evidence.

The mother committed suicide on the playground and wrote her last words.

AS A MOTHER, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR KILLING MY TWO SONS.

I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

Everyone in the community knew who 'you' were. 

Of course, it was the Grith family who brought Eros, and now they were calling him an immoral child for some absurd reason.

Ariadne looked out of the window and clenched her fists angrily, "I will kill those bastards.

Louise, on the other hand, continued to make a barrier layer, because the bombs those people used were magic bombs and of course had a deadly effect on the magic barrier. 

Louise himself just tapped his cane every time a barrage of bombs broke out, he was silent, and the air around him was not good either.

They had been lied to.

They had entrusted their child to someone who turned out to be intent on lying to them as well.

They are not fools, if her child's life is lost, Ariadne will not hesitate to find the merchant and destroy him with her own hands. 

The "Absolute Contract" that the village of Te Amo often uses, not only this village but almost the entire kingdom still uses this contract because this contract is very successful and more friendly than the "Game of Death Songs".

Because this contract is fair and everyone is equal before the Deus of Absolution.

That day, they made a contract with a merchant who had been their friend for a long time. Bring Eriu to safety and the merchant would be rewarded according to the contract.

If either party wanted to add something, that was fine, as long as they kept their word.

But if one of the people who made the contract dies while performing his duties, what happens?

The other contractors will also die, just like what happened to that person, because this contract is fair, so everyone has to pay the same way. But if one of the contractors dies and the others don't?

Isn't that strange... Yes, it is.

Because one of them is an impostor.

This method is usually used by nobles who are afraid of death.

They sell other people's souls and fingerprints to make this contract.

So in any case, even the liar will never be punished, because unfortunately the liar never uses himself as a shield, but others.

Someone's life has been at stake since the rumor spread.

Brukk-!!!

"Oww!!!" The groan of one of the people whose head was suddenly hit by a book caused the others to turn their heads to him before looking up at the sky.

"Think smarter before you challenge me, you young people of today!" Books fell from the sky and landed on the many people in front of her house.

Quella clicked her tongue irritably, "Tch. read some book or fairy tale books and find the meaning of the contents of the book before you come to challenge me, you stupid!"

"Maybe the fairy tale books you underestimate can add knowledge to your little brains!"

"Madam, stop protecting this immoral child! We just want to punish him, and you won't be involved." The village chief, Reliun, helped the people convince the grandmother to listen to their request.

When everything was over, this incident would be over quickly and he wouldn't have to deal with it anymore. Besides, his first child would be coming home soon, and this incident would definitely disappoint him if he knew that his father didn't solve this problem quickly.

He wanted his son to see him as a firm and hardworking head of the family.

Eros, who was in the living room, took a quick look before typing a message to Ramiel, the original owner of this village.

[It is quite bold of you to say that your village is the safest of all villages.] 

Ramiel, who was chewing gum in front of the computer, opened the chat while tilting his head, "?"

[They want to kill me just because their harvest is decreasing.]

The surprised Ramiel accidentally swallowed the gum and her eyes immediately opened wide, she had even forgotten that she was swallowing gum. Ramiel quickly sent a reply, [Wait, I'll be right there!]

She got up from her chair and ran towards the main room, the computers were scattered around, as soon as Ramiel stepped in, all the computers turned on and with a quick movement Ramiel headed towards the giant keyboard that would be filled with nothing but alphabets and numbers.

Her hands moved quickly as she typed.

Ramiel's main problem was the fact that she was forbidden by the Guardians to set foot in this world, which prevented her from knowing what was going on.

So the way to find out was with the help of Eros. The tools and power he gave her allowed her to sneak into the world undetected by the Guardian and her siblings, but suddenly everything went wrong and the abundant power became limited.

But she doesn't want her big project, 001, to fail.

001, Grace, which was the main card in her plan, was a huge project that she would never let fail no matter what.

That's why all the reserves of power have been given to this project.

Of course, with the approval of the investor, Eros.

So the way she knew what was going on was by relying on Eros to tell her. But unfortunately, Eros wasn't the type of person to tell her everything that happened, he didn't really care about his surroundings.

Type!

A large amount of text appeared at the same time and continued to appear until it filled the screen before finally a sentence in bold and very large letters appeared on each screen, 'GO, BABE, YOU CAN!

Ramiel clicked without thinking and instantly a human-sized tube appeared from under Ramiel's feet.

A countdown appeared on the transparent screen:

1 minute to departure...

50 seconds to departure...

Seeing the numbers running so slowly, Ramiel couldn't help but get annoyed and ruffled her hair, "You want our number one investor to run away, huh?"

The sun was still shining brightly. Eriu turned his head from side to side, trying to avoid the enlarged caterpillars and the gordian worms. The main reason was that he was traumatized.

If this were Earth, Eriu wouldn't mind, since they were small and harmless. But after coming here, his perspective changed. Those cute little creatures became huge, and they were even more dangerous. 

For the first time in his life, he saw a giant bird killed by a horsehair caterpillar! The fact that the caterpillar could jump made his hair stand on end, and he felt an itchy sensation on his skin.

When the giant bird fell into the lake and the horsehair caterpillar came out of the giant bird's stomach, its blood was immediately splashed everywhere, and that was where the battle took place.

The memory of that incident had turned this once brave and heroic city boy into a coward in an instant!

"Sword, where are you?" 

Today, as usual, the great sword was not in its place and he had to look for it before the violin sound played and made a mess again. 

The condition for his healing was to befriend the monstrous greatsword that his mother had told him to bring and this led him to learn that the eyes he had seen were the work of the sword...

"Hurry back or I'll report this to Aunt Amiley!" 

Amiley said that his mother chose this method because it was often used but it was for a long time ago. If the wielder could not control the sword, he would die by the sword.

Those words already made Eriu feel the reality that this was a fantasy world.

Don't tell me, maybe I was actually the main character because I got a side mission like this.

Hehe, a little bit of hope is okay as well.

🎶

The small sound of a violin playing was heard, "Ah... found it." Eriu who heard this already knew the whereabouts of the greatsword and started walking towards the sound of the violin. 

The sound of the violin was calm and very peaceful like the surrounding scenery.

Arriving at the place where the violin sounded, a large number of eyes were immediately seen in the lake. They all opened their eyes simultaneously and looked at Eriu.

Eriu was naturally surprised and could only smile stiffly, "Where is your body, we have to go back.

The pupils of those eyes suddenly moved chaotically, causing Eriu to panic, and the previously calm instrument turned into an intense instrument. 

The voice of the violin was right behind him.

"C'mon, enough with the jokes..." Eriu didn't want to look back, really, he was scared now, his shoulders felt very cold.

The eyes suddenly stopped spinning, but they were all curved as if they were smiling.

'They want me to look...' Eriu had already given up after the eyes curved.

Eriu immediately had a bad feeling. He cautiously looked behind him as the eyes wanted.

Sure enough, the leech's large, eel-like mouth with many teeth instantly devoured it with quick movements.

"Ugh!" Eriu closed his eyes and contrary to what he thought, he felt no pain at all, but he smelled the pungent smell of smoke and the heat of the fire.

Slowly, he opened his eyes and saw the moon above his head, and Eriu felt a sense of familiarity with this forest.

This was the forest in his village where he usually searched for magic stones.

The eyes appeared on the dark side before disappearing into the darkness.

As if they wanted to tell him something.

Some say that evil can never be changed.

Evil is still evil.

But I don't care, I just love my music!

Even if I fall into it.

Am I right, My Cosmos?
