I Can’t Run Away From the Girl Who Saved Me

106 – Discovery (1)

“Eww,”

Pia grabbed the curved blade with her bare hand and pulled it with a jerk.

I tried to stop her, worried that she might get cut by the sharp blade, but Pia shook her head and said.

“Hey, just wait a minute.”

Pia mustered her strength, making sounds like “Yay, yay”, but the blade did not budge.

Judging from the fact that not a single handprint was left on the blade, it was not because of a lack of strength, but rather that the spirit’s body was incapable of exerting physical influence in the first place.

I couldn’t tell Pia to stop because I felt bad for her, who was puffing out her cheeks, but at least I didn’t have to worry about cutting her hands, so I calmly started thinking of a way to get rid of these blade handcuffs.

Pia quickly pulled back her hand, which had been slipping for a long time, and spoke with a grin.

“Why don’t you help me?”

I said, laughing in vain at Pia’s childish tantrum.

“How can I help you…”

“I, Ash Spirit.”

Pia pointed at me and said.

I nodded as I looked at her, who said with a sharp face that she was my guardian spirit.

“…yes?”

“Ash, you’re a wizard.”

“so?”

“…?”

“hmm…?”

Pia sighed and slapped her face with her small hand.

You can’t even understand this, it’s so frustrating.

It seemed as if he was saying that.

Since Pia is a spirit, she may be much older than me, and as my guardian spirit, she may have been born at the same time as me.

I didn’t know anything about the spirit’s life, but at least on the outside, he looked like a six-year-old child.

I felt a little discouraged at the sight of myself being scolded by such a child.

Pia, not knowing whether she knew my feelings or not, began to explain to me again with her childish, insufficient words.

“If you use Ash Fire magic, it’ll make Pia Fire Hwaak~. You know?”

“You know…huh?”

Pia raised her hands to her ears on top of her head and wiggled her fingers, as if trying to express flames.

It was only then that I realized what Pia was trying to say.

“…sighe,”

“You know? You know?”

When I let out a sigh, Pia perked up her fox ears and jumped around.

I nodded.

I was mistaken because it was my first meeting with Pia, who appeared on my flames, but Pia was not a fire spirit, but my guardian spirit.

“Should we do it with the wind?”

“Yeah, Pia, the wind feels good.”

And I am a wizard.

Although he was a theoretical genius, he was clearly a wizard.

I memorized the order.

Wind, to raise, to sharpen, to shoot out.

Wind cutter.

I chose this magic because I thought that while I couldn’t aim precisely with both my hands tied, Pia could.

Pia’s hair slowly rose into the air, and soon her entire body began to swirl around her chest like a whirlpool.

In the blink of an eye, Pia transformed into a small whirlpool swirling around inside the cabin.

The junk inside the cabin was flying wildly in the air.

The embers of the bonfire were carried by the wind and swept away by Pia.

The wind came.

My bangs were blowing wildly and sparks were flying wildly, so I had to shut my eyes tightly.

“Ugh,”

For a moment, it felt like my arms were going to get caught in the wind, so I tightened my arms and tried to keep my body still as much as possible.

That was when.

team!

The wind died down with a sound like sharp metal breaking.

When I slowly opened my eyes, Pia, who had returned to her original appearance, slowly approached me and sat between my legs.

“good job?”

“Yeah, thanks, Pia.”

“Then, hug me now.”

＊

After stroking Pia’s head for a while, I left the cabin, putting on the clothes that had been covering my body.

The river near Millwood Village, where many memories are made with Sylvia.

It seemed that there was a secret hidden there that Sylvia wanted to hide from me.

What on earth is it that you’re trying to hide from me by even touching me?

“…I can tell you any secret.”

I muttered briefly.

Maybe I didn’t trust her enough.

Well, it might be hard to trust me when I disappeared for months without saying a word.

‘Say, I won’t go, I’ll listen to you.’

‘No, I’m sure I’ll go secretly.’

It’s my fault.

The attitude Sylvia displayed just before attacking me was not anger or annoyance, but fear.

The fear that I might disappear again.

The fear that I might leave her is deeply ingrained in her.

If that was the case, then her extreme behavior was ultimately my fault.

It was my fault for making Sylvia think that way, for making her so afraid of that strong man.

I rubbed my sharply cut wrist, reproached myself, and made a promise again.

“If I show Sylvia that I have no intention of leaving her, no matter what, she will calm down a little.”

I looked at Pia while muttering like that.

Pia said, shaking her head.

“Pia, I hate that woman, she’s scary.”

“… No, that person is so scary,”

“I smell blood. Every night.”

Pia cut me off and spoke firmly.

But judging by the fact that he often followed me, it seemed like he had no intention of sending me alone.

I patted Pia’s head.

Pia narrowed her eyes, flapped her ears as if she was feeling good, and pushed her head up against my palm as if rubbing it.

I walked slowly with that kind of piano.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!”

Every time a word came out of Sylvia’s mouth, the flesh inside the miserably crumpled lump of metal was trampled and crushed.

Sylvia nervously wiped away the blood and flesh that had splattered on her face, clenched her teeth, and crushed Alice’s regenerating head.

“Stop it now, die! Please!”

Alice, who usually gets tired and becomes quiet, regenerated her body tenaciously today.

Sylvia, who had been feeling terrible all day about the fact that Ash had been attacked, continued to shout in anger.

“I’m sick of this, of crushing up this piece of meat every night, of killing it over and over again! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to do that to Ash!”

But Alice’s head, which was constantly playing, especially her eyes and lips, showed a twisted sneer towards Sylvia without hiding it.

A warrior? Maria’s friend? Ash’s fiancee?

Now, I am nothing more than a piece of meat,

Even though I was the one who was officially appointed as a warrior, and I was the one who was with Maria until the end, and I was the one who had my body with Ash, Alice was still laughing at Sylvia when all that was left was a future that was only going to be crushed.

Sylvia, exhausted both physically and mentally, stopped short of stepping on those sullen, arrogant golden eyes and muttered.

“Okay, good.”

Sylvia grabbed Alice’s regenerating head with one hand and lifted it up.

Of course, he didn’t forget to still trample on the other parts to prevent them from regenerating.

“What do you have to say? You disgusting piece of meat.”

Let’s wait a moment. Alice’s head, which had been wriggling and slowly taking shape, first formed one eye, an ear, and lips.

The lips opened as they regained their original form.

“I just find it funny to see you fidgeting, you little punk.”

“under,”

“What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with Ash?”

“shut up”

“Did Ash say you stink?”

“If you don’t know how to keep your mouth shut, keep it open.”

Sylvia put her finger into Alice’s quivering lips and pulled it down, tearing off her lower jaw.

The moist tongue lost its support and hung limply down, and saliva mixed with blood dripped down from the tip of the tongue.

Sylvia said, wiping the blood off her hands.

“It’s much better now that it’s quiet.”

Alice made a clicking sound, but then stopped making any sound.

He just rolled his eyes here and there and blinked when he saw Sylvia.

Sylvia held Alice in her arms and spoke softly.

“You should at least understand that it is because you don’t know how to keep your mouth shut on a weak subject that you ended up like this.”

Sylvia’s warning, no, torture mixed with obvious anger and hatred.

But Alice was still provoking Sylvia with just her ugly remaining upper jaw.

Even though the lower half of his face was gone, the way he looked at Sylvia with his remaining upper lip quivering and his crescent-moon eyes looking at her was an expression of utter sneer.

Sylvia smashed the eye with her thumb.

In the meantime, the lower jaw, which had become attached, began to move incessantly, making a hoarse sound and giggling.

“What on earth is so funny? Can’t you figure out what’s going on? Or have you just lost your mind?”

“Ahahaha, what are you so afraid of?”

Sylvia flinched at Alice’s words.

Alice, who was holding Sylvia’s hand, did not miss the moment when Sylvia’s fingertips trembled, even though she tried to control her expression, thinking that Sylvia would not have seen her panic since her eyes were wide open.

Alice opened her mouth.

“I can see why you’re scared.”

“…What did you see when you don’t even have eyes?”

“What? What are you afraid of?”

“…at least not for four years.”

“Haha, you’re not afraid of the Demon King, you’re not afraid of me, and you’re confident that you can kill anyone in this world. What on earth are you so afraid of that you take your anger out on me, a weak piece of flesh?”

“…”

Alice, who had been sarcastically speaking politely, began to giggle when Sylvia fell silent.

Sylvia, realizing that she had no more patience to listen to Alice, tried to smash Alice’s head on the floor.

At that moment Alice opened her mouth again.

“Should I guess?”

“…”

Sylvia didn’t care.

Because no matter what I hear, it’ll just be annoying bullshit.

Just before Sylvia lifted Alice’s head high and slammed it down toward the floor, the head in Sylvia’s grip let out a muffled cry through a twisted laughter.

“Ahahaha, left!”

At those words, Sylvia stopped dead in her tracks.

Why is that pretentious laughter, so obviously made with such miserable effort, so creepy?

Why was Alice’s scream, so small that it would be drowned out by the sound of the flowing river, so loud?

“Hehehe,”

“…”

left,

Why does that one meaningless word make my heart ache so much at this moment?

Sylvia didn’t realize why.

No, I knew but I ignored it.

The worst thing that could happen at this moment.

She cursed the horrible imagination that ran through her head without her having to think hard about it.

That can’t be true.

That can’t be true.

It can’t be here.

I wanted to believe that, but the cruel head slowly turned to the left, regardless of Sylvia’s will.

My will screamed at me to stop, but my instincts eventually turned their gaze towards that great fear.

“Ms. Sylvia…”

“…ah,”

Sylvia shook Alice’s head.

Alice’s head, which had been rolling on the floor, spoke to Sylvia in a voice full of victory.

“Sylvia, did you ever expect this sight?”

“No…! No, don’t!”

“I have been imagining and waiting for this moment while being crushed and drowning every day.”

Sylvia couldn’t respond to Alice’s words.

That was because her gaze, no, all of her nerves, were fixed on the figure that appeared to her left.

Sylvia opened her mouth with a trembling voice.

“Hey, Ash. That’s not it…”

Sylvia slowly approached Ash, extending her hand.

But her own hand, which came into her field of vision, was covered in so much blood and flesh that it was impossible to make any excuses.

Ash’s legs gave out and he collapsed to the floor, his eyes filled with fear.

Although she knew that no one could possibly misunderstand this sight, Sylvia forced her trembling lips to move with a glimmer of hope.

“Ash… Oh, my. That’s not it…”

However, Ash’s wavering gaze was not directed at Sylvia.

“Alice… Sister?”

“…Ah, no, no! No!”

At that moment, Sylvia couldn’t remember.

The fact that he had completely let go of Alice’s flesh,

“Sylvia.”

Alice, who was naked and slowly got up, picked up her own head, which was calling Sylvia’s, and placed it on her neck.

Slowly, their skins interlocked and stuck together like two pieces of clay coming together.

“You should have been afraid of my imagination.”

Sylvia didn’t respond.

No, it seemed like he couldn’t hear anything.

She kept mumbling that it wasn’t that.

Alice snatched up the lump of iron that had been imprisoning her and slammed it down on the back of Sylvia’s head, who was standing there defenseless.
