Kidnapping the Hero Party

29. Hero Luna’s Awakening (2)

29. Hero Luna’s Awakening (2)

What does it feel like when talent and hard work are combined?

Do you feel confident that you can do anything, and everything in the world seems easy?

Even though I am just a bumjae, I can’t properly sympathize with that feeling.

I was witnessing the combination of great talent and hard work right in front of my eyes.

“Ah-Ab-!!”

widely-

Luna’s swordsmanship is gradually taking its place.

Her wooden sword pierced my side.

It was no exaggeration to say that the stab was similar to that of a knight who had practiced stabbing for 10 years.

as far as attitude.

“Still still weak, Luna.

“What, what! How did you avoid that-“

“Predict what to avoid, then move on. Otherwise, you’ll go blank.”

“Eh-!”

gang-!

Still, if you have grown to this level, in a few years you will be able to compete with top-ranking adventurers.

Luna grabbed the crown and rolled around the yard like a ball.

I approached her and spoke quietly.

It’s for feedback.

“Today’s posture was not bad. Although his fighting skills were poor.”

“Ah- head ah.. Sir, what kind of growing child do you hit on the head! If my brain cells die, you will be responsible for it!?”

“Your brain cells are small in the first place. If 10% of 100 disappears, there are 10, but if 10% of 10 disappears, it is 1, so that’s fine.”

“What, what did you say! Have you finished talking now?! Apologize to my brain cells!”

roar-

Running around, Luna was like a ferocious golden retriever.

Yes, it’s a one-day dog.

No matter how much Luna growled, it still felt like a puppy growing up in my eyes.

It meant there was still a lot to learn.

“Try, Luna.”

“Because I’m doing it! I told you! I’m going to beat you soon!”

“It will probably take another 10 years with that skill and talent.”

“Aww-!! It’s annoying-!!”

It was unheard of.

Luna was so talented that she had to put humility so as not to be engrossed in her talent.

If not, you will make a serious mistake in practice.

“Luna.”

“…Why. Why are you calling Luna, who has no talent?”

“You don’t have any talent. So, if you’re facing an opponent in real life, don’t be vigilant. If you don’t have talent, you shouldn’t be vigilant. Okay-“

“Okay-! Chii, okay! I’ll never be vigilant. Okay?”

Luna seemed to be pissed off when she said she had no talent.

She pouted her mouth like a duck.

The color of the yellow one looked similar to that of a duck.

exactly

“I think it’s similar to a chick.”

“What, what! Why am I? I keep hearing strange noises in my ears! Why are you mad at me too!”

“Uh?”

sounds weird?

You didn’t drink Estiya’s holy water, did you?

As far as I know, that holy water also has hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.

Estiya couldn’t fill up her divine power alone, and she wouldn’t share it with others, so there’s no way Luna ate it.

‘The auditory hallucinations are probably misunderstood, for example, the voice of the imprisoned Hare.’

Well, wouldn’t that be an illusion?

‘By the way, I have to feed Estiya with holy water soon…’

If holy water is not suddenly supplied to a holy water addict, side effects and withdrawal symptoms will continue to appear.

You can lose your mind if you do it wrong.

Whether it’s robbing a church or robbing a drug dealer.

The thought of doing one or the other quickly crossed my mind.

Meanwhile, Luna asked me.

“Mister. I have a question. This is a very serious question.”

“What are you curious about?”

“When are you going to release Hare, who is staring at us from the window over there? His eyes are a bit scary…? He doesn’t look good either.”

Luna pointed at Hare in the distance with her finger.

Hare was raising her hand vaguely to the window with sad eyes.

Hare’s red eyes, which seemed to be bloodshot from crying so much, were looking straight at me.

Luna seemed to sympathize with Hare.

“I’m sorry. Trying to escape Estiya was wrong, but it’s already been 5 days. Without even talking in that small room! Why don’t you forgive and release him now, Mister?”

“It’s not up to me to free Ha-re, it’s for Ha-re to decide.”

“yes?”

I lightly ignored Luna’s gaze that seemed to say, ‘What is this crazy person’.

I walked home without saying a word.

‘I can’t hear the voices asking me to take myself out anymore. It’s time to check it out.’

Luna hurriedly asked me as I walked away without a word.

“Mister! Where are you going!?”

“Go home. I’ll listen to your opinion.”

“Eh…? Is the day of your death approaching…? Why are you listening to my opinion…?”

“…Luna, do 30 laps around the yard.”

“Chwi, cancel! Pretend you didn’t hear!”

“There is no such thing.”

Ignoring Luna’s screams, I approached Hare’s room.

Had Hare realized his mistake by now?

Have you repented and repented of your sins?

With the mindset of a prison guard examining a criminal for parole.

I decided to open the door and face her.

***

Day 1 of confinement.

I was sad and only wept.

I never dreamed that my uncle would hate me so much.

“Sorry, I’m sorry… I, I was wrong… Please don’t throw it away, Mister… ”

He cried out for his uncle to take it out, and shouted like he was doing something wrong.

He considered it his fault for not being cunning and not precise.

Is it because of that?

The uncle did not open the door.

Day 2

Through the window, I could see Uncle and Luna.

He looked happy.

As they trained in swordsmanship, they seemed to sympathize with each other.

The body was close, and the man even held Luna in his arms.

“Ah, they’re trying to steal you, Luna… ? while I’m gone… ?”

For a moment, he had the ugly thought that it would be nice if he could get rid of Luna as well.

Although it was Luna who was good to me.

An intolerable jealousy welled up in her.

And for that reason, he hated himself so much for being imprisoned.

“What a bad kid I’ve become… Whoa, uncle… I’m sorry… I-I’m such a bad kid… ”

That day too, I spent the day shedding tears, and I didn’t want to do anything.

I spent time in bed hugging the pillow thinking it was Mr.

Day 3.

I knocked on the door that wouldn’t open and scratched it with my fingertips.

Although it hurt so much.

Uncle didn’t answer.

‘Me, when can I go out… ? Oh, what if you don’t see me for the rest of your life… ?’

The feeling of being drowned in a lake of unknown depth.

I became afraid of myself falling more and more.

I’d rather die.

In that case, I’ll just die.

The reason I live is because of you.

“Take it out, please… Please… I, I did it wrong… Mister…”

I called uncle all the time that day.

His throat tasted like blood, and he couldn’t even speak properly in the middle.

‘why… Why don’t you look at me, mister… ‘

Still, the old man wouldn’t open the door.

And, I began to seriously consider what my fault was.

Day 4.

I figured out that the uncle would not open the door.

Now I have decided to give up the act of calling Mr.

It was the moment when I started to properly reflect.

“My, my fault… It’s my fault for doing something you don’t like… ”

An action that helped someone escape.

The act of killing a friend.

that would be my fault

Because it’s the behavior of a bad child.

“Well, then… It’s my fault that I became a bad kid… ”

in front of uncle.

It’s my fault that you did something you didn’t like.

I fully realized what my fault was.

“If I was going to be a really bad kid… I shouldn’t have been caught by you… meticulously, planned. Don’t move impulsively… ”

Never think of killing a friend.

Because my uncle hates it

If you are confident that you will never get caught by your uncle.

“It’s okay then… ”

‘Cause if you don’t hear it

Because if your uncle doesn’t know.

It’s okay to fool around with your uncle.

I was able to realize 100% of my fault in bed.

And, the 5th day.

quiver-

light coming through the door.

The door opens.

The long-awaited old man appeared.

***

The child’s condition is not good.

Hare’s condition didn’t look good at all.

Dark circles under the eyes.

Tousled pink hair.

bloodshot red eyes.

He hadn’t eaten properly, so the dried up fat was missing, and Hare’s fingertips were covered with wounds.

Such a messy hare looked at me happily.

“mister… You came… I miss you a lot… ”

“… Hare, are you okay?”

“Yeah, it’s okay… I’m glad to see you… ”

Hare replied with a smile.

His condition didn’t look good, but he looked calmer than at the beginning.

‘Certainly there was an effect of confinement.’

Just as I had achieved rapid growth when I was imprisoned for 30 days, Hare was showing a different maturity than before in a short period of time.

seemingly.

‘Actually, you have to tear it apart to find out.’

Had Hare figured out his mistake?

If I hadn’t figured it out, I’d have no choice but to start confinement again.

It was a time of reflection for that.

I seriously asked Hare, who was smiling hard.

“… Hare. while in this room. How did you feel?”

“I hated it… Oh, I couldn’t see you, I couldn’t hear you, and it was so painful… I don’t know when I might go out, so… ”

“… If so, did you realize anything during that time?”

Hare nodded her head vigorously at those words.

As if he had accurately grasped his mistake, he burst into tears.

He began to complain about his mistake in a pathetic tone along with the sound of iron.

“Oh, I was wrong… No matter how much I hated it, I shouldn’t have thought of killing my friend… Well, it wasn’t like that… It’s bad to help you escape… I’m such a bad kid with that kind of heart… Ugh, I’m sorry… ”

“Who are you sorry to?”

“… ”

Hare paused for a moment to answer.

and.

fresh-

He smiled again and replied.

“I’m sorry too, Uncle, Estiya. I feel most sorry for that child. I almost took my life.”

“… ”

excellent.

If it’s this kind of reflection, it might be okay to take it out of the room.

The Hare I saw now was the attitude of a person who fully reflected.

He knew perfectly what he had to apologize for and why.

If the current action is acting, there would be no objection to receiving the Best Actress Award in Korea.

‘Even Minerva doesn’t say anything about the release… ‘

It looks like the reflection was done right.

Now the confinement can end.

Hare is kneeling.

I approached her and held out my hand.

“Good job. If you make a mistake, you need to reflect and apologize. Knowing exactly what you are doing wrong. That’s what’s important. You held up well for five days, Hare.”

“… Oh no. mister… I was wrong… I’ve only been punished… That, but… That, but… ”

Actually, it was very difficult.

It was so lonely being alone, and I was afraid that my uncle would abandon me.

So…

“only once. can you hug me… ? I, I had a hard time, man… Burr, I was so afraid of being abandoned… ”

“… ”

drip- drip-

With tears in her eyes, Hare stretched out her arms to hug me.

‘That solitary room was difficult for you to bear. Even more so, you with a weak heart.’

Still, since I realized my mistake and came back, it would be okay if I did this as a reward instead of punishment.

Hare had feelings he shouldn’t have with me, but for Hare, who must have been having a hard time until now.

He hugged her warmly.

“Me, me… Hehe, I won’t throw it away… mister? whoops… ”

“If you are not leaving, I have no intention of abandoning you, Hare. You made a promise to your grandmother, you’ll take responsibility.”

“Uh-huh… I’m sorry… whoops… And thanks… ”

Hare held me in my arms and shed tears as if she was sad.

As if she had missed me all this time, she wrapped her clothes around her back with both hands as if she would never let go.

Ha-re melted the sad emotions during the time he was confined in my arms.

Today, she looked like an innocent child.
