The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Don't Hate Me !!! (7)

We were on the train for six days straight. Arriving near the mine, I was exhausted.

Isaac, who got off the carriage, said,

"Bocil, you're so weak."

I'm dumbfounded.

I am not weak, but the other person who has been with me for six days is a monster!

I got drunk on the road because it was rough. But I couldn't go hungry for six days, so I repeatedly ate and vomited.

Sometimes I have to go to the bathroom, and it's very hot because it's summer.

We could come up with a bit of comfort using the teleportation device, but we couldn't even use it because we had to move silently.

"Leblaine, why don't you take a break?"

I clenched my hand and nodded, "Yes."

I was so tired that I was unable to use my holy power properly.

“Let's take a break.”

At the commanding officer's words, people started to move.

Then Isaac looked around the mountain, as Henry and Seto formed a team to search inside the mine first.

Meanwhile, I was standing near the barracks.

"Do you want me to bring you a chair?"

"No need, I can sit on a rock."

"Are you really okay now?"

“I think the medicine works well. I'm fine now. More than that, I'm hungry..

I was starving all day, it was also because I had a greater appetite than most people.

When I looked down with tears, the people of Irie, who were escorting me, went and said, "I'll find something to eat for you."

Zachary strengthened the barracks in front of me.

Snarl.

“…….”

“…….”

Snarl.

“…….”

“…….”

Snarl.

"Is there a beggar in your stomach?"

Zachary, who was putting a pillar on the ground, looked at me sillyly, and I nodded with a sad face.

"I don't think it's just one beggar ......"

“I have beans. I'll give you that..”.

I ran and stretched out my hand.

"Who would have thought that you were a woman with such an appetite ..."

After picking up the beans, I sat back down and peeled the beans gently.

'I used to eat it when I was a beggar.'

I usually wait around the store. Some kind-hearted owners usually give us nuts.

As I was about to chew, I heard a rustle from somewhere. Zachary, who had just finished his work, glanced at me and stood near me with a spear.

"Battle beast?"

I hugged my precious beans, as Zachary shook his head with a tense face.

"It's not just one or two."

I nodded and grabbed Zachary's sleeves tightly.

He leaned over and grabbed the whistle around his neck.

"On my signal, go the other way ..."

That was..

“Kak-!!”

The monster screams sounded everywhere, as their huge bodies blurred everyone's gaze.

Zachary blew the whistle. It was an emergency sign.

I went to the other side. Zachary's holding some unknown men to pave the way for me.

But there were a lot of them and one of them sneaked towards me.

That time,

“Argh!”

An unknown man took a bag of beans from my hand.

“my nuts! Peanut thief!”

“Kak—!”

Holding a bag of beans, he ran towards the crowd that Zachary had knocked down.

Zachary did not miss the moment and caught it. Running fast, I frowned at the mysterious man Zachary had captured.

"Man monster?"

His limbs, eyes, nose, and mouth were like humans, but his body was like a dwarf. Their skin is like a fish, and their eyes are as wide as a puppy's black iris.

“Kiki! Ki!”

“Goblin?”

“Similar, but I don't see some Goblin.” features

The monster that attacked us only stole my lackey. The peanut thief Zachary caught hit him.

“Ki! Ki! Ki!”

"Did you ask him to put you down?"

As soon as I said that, Isaac ran towards us.

“What happened... Hah?”

Isaac frowned and looked at the group of peanut thieves.

***

Isaac looked at the monster that rushed away with dried fruits and nuts and asked me.

"How much will they eat?"

I also looked dumbfounded when I saw the pile of food bags.

The six monsters seem to have eaten our soldiers' food for two days and are not yet full.

I handed jerky to the smallest monster, that monster. It sniffed with a curious look and picked it up after that.

“Kak! Cui!”

I don't think cow jerky suits your taste.

Isaac laughed when he saw the monster spitting out jerky.

“Woah so they have taste?”

"I don't think it can eat meat."

“Then it must not be Goblin.....impossible, are they angel?”.

The place where Suwon is kept in legend is Lake Nymph. In other words, that's where the nymph lives.

Nymphs were created by the Water Spirit, and according to the book I read here, look similar to them.

“But nymphs are said to live in clean water. They couldn't last an hour when they came out of the water, but these kids stayed with us for at least two hours.”

"really surprising. Or maybe it wasn't an angel.”

At this moment.

"This is a nymph."

Henry said it after returning to the mine. And then there's the giant version of the monster with them.

The monster that stole the bean bag from me suddenly ran away quickly. He tried to attack Henry but,

Bang out!

The monster flew back because of the impact

“Do not bother.”

Henry's hand is shining. Come to think of it, he had scratches on his neck and face. The irie people who went with him also looked hurt.

“Henry!”

Henry patted my head after I ran towards him with a pale face.

"It's just a small wound, don't worry."

"Are you hurt for catching that giant angel?"

“Yes, if he does not hesitate in front of Seto, we will not be able to catch him.”

“He is a child protected by spirits, so the angels controlled by that spirit cannot hurt him.”

Henry and the people from irie were aura users. For some reason, a strong person who never lost had such injuries to catch an angel.

“It's not just one.”

I opened my eyes wide at Henry's words.

"What?"

“At least a few dozen. There are many of them in mine.”

As Isaac and I hardened, Henry said as he wiped the purple blood from the sword with a cloth.

"But there's a bigger problem here."

Isaac asked, frowning.

"What's that?"

“The things you are with are the children of angels. It is impossible for adult nymphs to let their child out of their territory.”

“......You mean this whole mountain is the territory of the angels?”

"Yes, some angels in the mine, and many more in the mountain."

Henry's eyes were drowning.

“That means we are surrounded by angels.”

“If the number of angels knows that their children have disappeared.....fuck.”.

Realizing the importance of the situation, commander Irie shouted.

"Destroy the barracks and put out the fire!"

I, Isaac, and Henry discussed countermeasures while the irie moved in unison.

“The entire injured team only caught one of them. We should return after finding suwon.”

Isaac expressed his rejection of my words.

“But we can't miss this opportunity. Marche had to aim for a time when the situation was busy and now. ”

“For now, Leblaine should be sent back. This time, even if there is a risk of being tracked, we should use long-distance teleportation.”

"If Henry and Isaac don't go, I won't go either!"

Henry grabbed my shoulder with a serious face as soon as I shouted.

“We bring as many knights as we can. We can't get any more support here to move quietly. After all, we will only find suwon here with them. I can't let you get hurt.”

"That..... I know.”.

“Those who cannot fight will only burden us.”

“......I can fight too. I'll help.”

“It's not about whether you can fight or not. It's about whether you can kill or not. Are you sure that you won't hesitate to kill your opponent in times of crisis?

I couldn't answer anything and bit my lips.

Henry's right. I'm not ready yet. However, that doesn't mean I'm not helping like Seto.

When I pulled out the device with a pouting face, my brothers grinned

"Bocil, if it's dangerous, we'll also run away."

“Yes, I'll wait for you guys.”

I wiped the tears from my eyes with my palm.

“It was a promise. You two should come back alive.”

“Have we ever not kept the promise we made to you?”

“......Save it this time again.”

Hugging Henry and Isaac, I used the device with wet eyes.

But, uh,

“……?”

"What."

"How can……."

I tried it again.

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

This is not working.

We, brothers, have parted sentimentality. It would be embarrassing if it didn't work. I glanced at the knights who were looking at me with a sad expression.

To avoid embarrassment, I immediately decided to bluff.

“I won't be back! We'll die and live together!”

“…….”

“…….”

“Come find suwon!”

Henry and Isaac, who were hardened, looked at me with silly expressions as I shouted in seriousness.

***

The problem is not just teleportation. Communication equipment is also dead. I tested which stone just in case, and which stone was useless.

"Magic can't work here?"

“I can call magic. It's not like you can't use mana. There is only a problem with magic tools.”

“It doesn't make sense.”

“......There may be certain things on this mountain that prevent the use of magic tools.”

“So how did Baron Eston manage to mine the stone? I heard he's been mining here for a month. ”

It was a very dangerous mountain, because it was an area of angels. And we can't use the tools either.

Listening to the conversation between the two, I frowned at the sudden thought.

"……signals."

We looked at Seto.

"What kind of signal is that?"

Isaac muttered as I spoke.

“Signals that cause nymphs to appear and create wavelengths that interfere with magic tools....”.

"Then that means this ridiculous situation will end only when the legend is fulfilled" Henry said as he held onto his temple.

That means we must enter the mine and complete the legend of the young warrior.

'In other words, meet the spirit.'

But it's weird.

Why Seto? Why was Seto chosen by the Spirit among many children?

In the end, we decided to enter the mine with Seto.
