Chapter 58: The Spear Hero (1)

"After Young Master Zend returned from entering the Vortec Forest, you kept standing still for almost 10 minutes."

"10 minutes..."

No kidding, just now I was still talking to The White... But why am I outside right now?

With confusion, I finally realized that this place had become dark. No, it wasn’t.

I then looked up at the sky, the sun that should still be up was now starting to descend.

(Did I really...)

While I was still confused, Yoon approached me and asked worriedly.

"Zend?"

"A-ah, it’s fine."

"Is that so? Ah, here."

Yoon then handed me a bag.

"What is this?"

"Eh? Isn’t this Zend’s? You came back with this, doesn’t it belong to you?"

(I came back with this bag? Why?)

Curious, I opened the contents of the bag and became even more confused.

(Red feathers? What are these white hard scales? And some strange flowers...)

Why would I bring things like this, no, why am I here anyway?

As I try to remember, I feel like my memory is going blank.

Strange, why do I feel like I’m forgetting something?

It’s a bit of a nagging feeling, as if something that should be in place right now isn’t there. But I don’t know what it is.

(Why did I enter this forest?)

I wanted to meet someone, right? No, that’s strange. How could there be someone living in this place.

(Ah!)

Immediately I remembered, I came here to look for ingredients to cure Esie’s sister’s illness and a way to cross my body’s boundaries.

(Could this be the item I need?)

As I looked carefully, I suddenly remembered that the flower inside the bag was the flower that was the key to curing Esie’s sister’s illness.

(Isn’t this flower like a legendary flower? How could I find it?)

Even so, I accepted the flower and told everyone.

"Prepare immediately, we’re going to the frontier wall with the Abyss."

(I don’t know what happened, but it looks like I’m going to accept this flower and continue the task father gave me.)

With that, we resumed our journey to the frontier wall with the Abyss.

...

In a forest at night, my group and I are currently camping.

We decided to take a break first to rest our horses and recover our strength.

In fact, during this trip, we encountered monsters several times. The closer we got to the accretion with the Abyss, the more often monsters appeared.

I’m currently talking with Muspel and Nifl in front of the campfire.

(So you guys don’t know anything either?)

(What can we do! We suddenly felt sleepy.)

(Tsk, you’re useless.)

(What did you say!)

(Huh? What did I do wrong?)

(You piece of junk!)

(This bastard...)

(Master! Kakak laki-laki! You two, please don’t fight!)

While Muspel and I were fighting,

Nifl shouted at both of us.

(Anu, forgive us master.)

Nifl then started apologizing in a crying voice.

(It’s okay! I don’t know why either, can’t remember what happened in the forest.)

(Hmph! You yourself aren’t alert either!)

(Tsk.)

Not only do I not remember what happened in the forest, but Muspel and Nifl seem to have been forced to sleep and don’t remember when we entered the forest.

(It’s really mysterious...)

Although it’s mysterious, but I’m quite happy with the results. I managed to get the materials to save Esie’s little sister’s life.

Come to think of it, why would I promise to cure Esie’s little sister if I didn’t even know where to find the medicine.

(Huh? Why does it feel weird? .....)

The more I tried to remember things, the more my brain was confused about what was actually going on.

(...Head hurts...)

Because the more I thought the more my head hurt, so I decided to give up remembering.

(Haa...)

Feeling tired, I finally let out a long sigh.

"..."

(...)

(...)

(...)

Me, Muspel and Nifl were having the same thought at the moment.

The three of us looked at Yoon who had been staring at me non-stop. When our eyes met, Yoon immediately looked away.

(What’s wrong with this girl?)

(From her emotions, I think that girl is worried about master.)

(Worried? Worried about before?)

(Maybe? I can’t read minds, I can only feel emotions.)

(But that girl is great too, isn’t she? Can follow a troublesome fiancé like this.)

(What are you saying?)

(Heh, I’m not wrong right?)

I want to beat Muspel up right now but what Muspel said is not wrong.

Why is Yoon still following me, doesn’t that girl hate me?

Out of curiosity, I finally asked the girl.

"Y-y-y-you!"

As I tried to call the girl’s name, for some reason I couldn’t say it and ended up calling You.

(Pathetic...)

(Noisy!)

Ignoring Muspel’s interruption, I continued my words.

"Why..."

"???"

When I wanted to ask why Yoon was still by my side. I couldn’t say it. I felt that if I said that, I would hurt that girl.

(Why am I afraid of being hated now, let’s just say it!)

When I forced myself to ask, I was finally able to say it but it was very different from what I wanted to say.

"What makes you work so hard? Why are you healing strangers?"

Today, when the Knights were injured fighting the monsters, Yoon immediately healed them. Even a few days before, there was a merchant who was injured and Yoon healed him as well.

Perhaps I was a little bothered by Yoon’s attention to others. Although Yoon has done this many times, but lately I’m a little unhappy.

(Master is jealous?)

(No! No way! I’m just curious...)

Covering my embarrassment, I asked Yoon again.

"Is it because you want to help the people in your town? Is it to protect your people?"

*shakes head*

"Then what?"

"I just want to be a force for you, Zend."

"Eh?"

With the beautiful night atmosphere and the bonfire in front of us, Yoon’s face when he said those words looked flushed.

Whether it was a reflection of the campfire light or Yoon’s shyness, I don’t know. But I do know one thing, when Yoon said those words, I could see the sadness and loneliness in his expression.

Seeing that, I felt like hugging him, wanting to tell him that he has helped me so much over the past two years. Without the help of her healing magic, I might have died many times.

But I can’t say that.

Even if I can’t say that, I can still...

I put my hand on Yoon’s head.

"..."

"..."

Seeing my action, Yoon was a little surprised but then leaned his head on my shoulder.

If I normally would have pushed Yoon away, but I felt that today I could let this go.

We decided to leave it alone for a while.

Yoon and I then looked up at the night sky.

During these 2 years, Umbra Vitae had become a strong organization and even started to enter other countries and Yangnam Kingdom was one of them.

And the city of Xian is the city where we are active. As I had promised, I managed to strengthen the Murasaki family’s power back in Xian City.

Right now the Murasaki family hardly needs the Wolfled family’s help anymore, but why is our engagement still continuing?

Although I don’t know, but even a little, I feel grateful for my current situation. I know this is wrong but my feelings can’t lie.

Humans are really stupid creatures, they know that what they do will bring heartache in the future, but they will always move in that direction even though they know the consequences.

...

After resting, we decided to continue our journey back to the frontier wall with the Abyss.

And at such a moment, the carriage came to a sudden halt causing me, Yoon and Yukiko to be thrown forward.

"...it hurts..."

My head was hit by Muspel’s sword sheath.

I then opened the window and asked the middle-aged knight.

"What’s going on?"

"Young Master Zend! Please hide! The Black Forest Bear has appeared."

"Black Forest Bear?"

I then looked forward, there was a bear monster measuring close to 5 meters in size fighting with the Knights.

The Black Forest Bear was an A- rank monster, a very dangerous monster if allowed to go into the city.

Seeing that, I took Muspel and Nifl, then I got out of the carriage and prepared to fight with the monster.

"Everyone back off! Let me deal with that monster!"

Upon hearing my command, everyone retreated, but the monster didn’t seem to let up.

The monster attacked one of the Knights with its huge claws.

(I won’t have time-)

As I was trying to help, a red-white flash suddenly appeared and instantly pierced the monster’s body.

Everyone there was shocked by what happened.

I then saw the figure that killed the monster.

A boy with white hair and purple eyes.

"That guy!"

In front of me appeared one of the strongest people in the world. The strongest human, and the human with the most contributions against The Evi One’s army.
