Helmut
Episode 276
The person who crushed the white rabbit was Elaga, a huge white leopard.
He tried rolling the unconscious rabbit around with his front paws. It is certainly.
[I passed out. Did you pretend to faint?]
“Naho? “He’s dead.”
Helmut said, jumping off his back.
[He died. Surely. But the body has no choice but to remain. I swallowed its core, but what can I do with its large body?]
Elaga sniffed at the white rabbit.
[This guy smells like Sarah. Could it be that they already caught it?]
Wow!
Elaga opened her mouth wide.
A roar filled with demonic energy shook the whole place with anger.
Black magic energy exploded from his body. The magic contrasting with the white fur made Elaga look fearsome.
Even though I pulled up and defended myself, my skin felt tingly.
Helmut frowned.
‘It’s unfair.’
Compared to myself, who trained to death, Elaga has become much stronger even though she has done nothing.
If becoming strong is also luck, Elaga must have been born with heavenly luck.
“If you’re going to attack, say it and do it.”
[Are you okay with the fact that Sarah died? He’s your disciple. This is how inconsiderate it is to human subjects.]
“It doesn’t look like he’s dead.”
Helmut gestured toward the front.
This is because I felt a small, familiar figure coming from over there, rushing towards me.
“Pomiya!”
While crying out a cute name that may not exist in the forest of Pahe.
As expected, it was Sarah who appeared a moment later.
As soon as she heard the roar that echoed through the forest, she sensed that something had happened to the white rabbit.
Sera looked shocked when she saw the white rabbit lying at Elaga’s feet.
“Elaga killed my friend!”
Elaga snorted.
[Who is your friend? Is this an eerie white rabbit?]
“Pomi is my friend! “Move your feet!”
Sarah shook the white rabbit’s body and cried out loud.
Elaga suddenly made an excuse.
[No, I felt something uneasy… … . Hey, you’re not dead! I fainted, fainted. Do you think monsters die that easily?]
“I don’t know! “Elaga is violent!”
Sarah let out a sigh of relief and screamed at Elaga. At times like this, she was a child of heaven.
Elaga, who witnessed Sarah’s rebellion for the first time in her life, was greatly embarrassed. But now he throws away when he gets the blame.
Instead, he got angry.
[It’s violence and you’re sleeping. Where are you wandering around now! I told you not to go outside my territory!]
Sarah, who was stingy, raised her voice.
“Elaga said she didn’t want to save those people! “I was just trying to save you!”
[Get someone to save me when I’m weak! So this white rabbit tells me they’re in the south? Is that why you set out to follow him? You stupid bitch! I know what kind of guy this guy is!]
“Pomi is kind and kind!”
[You sound like kindness. The only time Naho is kind is when she has a black kkungkkung in her stomach!]
“me… … like?”
Sarah opened her eyes round.
I’ve heard Naho’s name before, but I had no idea why it was mentioned here.
[Well, Naho can’t be this weak. I guess it’s just a little reflection. Rather, do you know how much your mother worries about you?]
“Uh, are you mom?”
Only then did Sarah become discouraged.
Leaving without telling Susan was an inexcusable mistake.
[Do you think that just because you learned a sword, you can become anything? If you go a little further, there are tons of people who don’t care about my smell or anything!]
Elaga’s nagging rain poured down on Sarah, who was losing her temper.
Helmut turned his gaze away from the rabbit that was giving off Naho’s aura and stared at the other side. This was the direction Sarah had run towards.
‘There is something out there.’
Just as starlight is blocked in front of the sun, when you are close to Elaga, your sense of magical energy becomes paralyzed.
Because the huge magical energy emanating right next to you stimulates your instincts.
Helmut’s sprout of darkness was strongly conscious of Elaga.
But now that I am separated from him.
Helmut sensed it. Something captures my senses, stretching out as sensitively as a spider’s web.
One gigantic demon ki and several human figures.
‘human?’
Helmut frowned.
Yes, even though it was hidden by a huge demonic energy, it had an alien presence.
It was clearly the presence of a human being, not a monster!
In this forest of Pahe, there is no being more distant from the atmosphere of this place than humans.
They were approaching this way cautiously. It was probably because he sensed Elaga’s presence.
Because the roar from earlier was so terrifying, the nearby monsters all fled at once.
‘Humans, in this forest of digging.’
It’s been quite a while since it happened. Moreover, it would not be surprising if they died as soon as they entered Pahe Forest, but they survived from the south and came here. With the owner of a huge demonic energy.
I felt like I knew who the owner of that magic energy was. Because I’ve already encountered it.
‘It’s been a while since I last saw you.’
It was understandable to wonder what was going on, but Helmut’s attention was focused elsewhere.
My heart is pounding strangely. Tension permeates my entire body.
Is it an enemy? Has the instinct to feel the enemy revived?
‘No, this is…’ … .’
At that time, Sarah shouted loudly.
“Oh right! I saw that bird called Ygrel! “Did you say he was the ruler of the south?”
Elaga’s eyes moved.
[Yes, I guess that person over there is Ygrel.]
I heard a thumping sound from over there. The first thing to emerge from between the trees was Igrel, walking towards me like a giant chick.
The sound of footsteps was loud compared to its large size, but it was inevitable that the ground would shake.
In the dull forest of Pahe, his shining feathers especially stood out.
Igrel said hello calmly.
[hi? It’s been a while, Elaga.]
Ygrel made a sound by lightly clicking his beak as if he was on guard.
The scene where he, a street animal, meets Elaga, a wild animal, on the ground aroused my anxiety.
Elaga answered arrogantly.
[Yes, a colorful bird head. Why are you walking on the ground? Are the wings broken?]
After Elaga swallowed Naho’s core, their ranking was decided. The rulers of all other areas fell under Ela in an instant.
It’s a shame because Elaga isn’t a vicious person or has a strong desire to become stronger, but if he wanted to, he could have killed all the rulers of other areas and absorbed their cores.
Igrel’s pride also twitched at Elaga’s tone.
[Your ignorant tone is still the same, Elaga. What do you do when you get stronger? The level does not match.]
[Okay, do you want me to greet you by plucking out your feathers according to my level? Why are you wandering near my territory? Are you really trying to eat Sarah?]
Elaga bared her teeth. He hated monsters.
Although he somehow acted human-friendly, he was hostile to the few other monsters he could communicate with.
[I just came down after seeing that white rabbit! You must take good care of your pet human!]
Ygrel shot back and looked towards Helmut.
[Rather than that, you are Helmut, right? I almost didn’t recognize him when he grew up. The fur is still black.]
Ygrel looked at Helmut with curious eyes.
The first human to leave the forest of Pahe and return. For her, meeting him was a particularly deeply engraved memory even in Grell’s long life.
[Recently, there were humans who appeared in my area. I brought them here.]
Igrel spoke shamelessly on the topic that disturbed them.
Sarah opened her mouth and said, “Oops.”
“Oh, right. I met those people over there. He looked fine, and those people… … .”
I was looking for Helmut.
Sarah glanced at me without speaking. This Grell tilted her head to one side.
[I’m curious. Will you really be happy?]
Helmut’s gaze had already been focused on the other side.
Signs slowly approaching from beyond the forest where Ygrel came from. Among them, one thing was so vivid that it seemed like it could be seen.
Helmut knew who that figure was. He seemed to know.
This person I was with so close to me 4 years ago that I could almost breathe.
Unbelievable. Was that possible? This is the forest of digging, a demonic area where no one has survived.
But soon something caught his eye.
It was a silvery light, like a ray of moonlight, as if my vision was brightening. The figure walking out wearing a white robe was unwavering, straight and elegant.
The eyes towards him were a mysterious purple like amethyst. Could there be two people like that in the world?
“long time no see.”
That clear voice that permeates softly. It was unfamiliar, yet familiar. But most of all, she… … .
It was beautiful. Just like in my memory.
No, more than that time. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she had the appearance of a complete woman.
“Helmut.”
That voice fills the empty space inside. My heart felt hot as if on fire.
“Area.”
Helmut finally called her name. As if I finally remembered it. Her words, uttered in her dry tone, contained numerous emotions.
Feelings that I had forgotten for four years came back to life in an instant.
Helmut realized that he was a human being who could feel things.
Did you miss it? Wasn’t it so?
I don’t think I tried to remember it. To protect myself by standing up again after going through the pain of digging up and scraping my heart.
I’m afraid that I’ll be reminded that I lost her and that I’ll never see her again.
Because I don’t have the confidence to endure it. He can’t go back anyway.
Even if he had to go back, he would have to face Alea turning her back on him once again.
But what were you afraid of?
“Helmut.”
Area called his name once again.
Before she knew it, she was getting closer to him. Just a few steps away.
Helmut’s black eyes wavered. His gaze filled with agitation met Alea’s gaze.
Area was different from the Area four years ago.
The moment when he felt special about Area faded away, and his heart became cold. It would have been natural for it to happen that way.
Maybe she had become an enemy. They say humans change easily.
However, that stubborn guard crumbled within him.
There was something unchanging in change.
You still make me… … .
There was no need to confirm with any words.
However, just finding out.
Helmut stretched out his hand. It was hot to see her in his arms.
No, is he hot?
The hand that hugged me with all my might trembled. The hand that hugged him was gentle, as if comforting him.
They just stood there like that. While clearly realizing each other’s presence.
