66 – Bullying, stop!(9)

The relationship between Yooyoung and Bayard.

In some ways, you may think that it is nothing to worry about. To Yoo-Young, it was just an article. She is, of course, a member of the Royal Knights, but she is by no means a lowly position.

Compared to Yooyoung’s position, which governs the 12 tribes, Bayard’s position is inevitably inferior. But I keep thinking that the relationship between the two is important.

So, I had no choice but to make a decision. Let Yooyoung and Bayard meet each other. Let’s meet up and let the two of us talk. Now this seemed right.

Because Yooyoung also thinks of Bayard as a friend. Because Bayard also thinks of Yooyoung as a friend. But she had no intention of forcing it. I opened my mouth.

“Bayard, if you want, I can set up a place where you can meet and talk with Yooyoung.”

“Yu, talk to Yuyoung…?”

“Yes, as long as you want to. I have no intention of forcing you.”

“…….”

Bayard made a complicated expression. Perhaps he was troubled. Maybe the answer won’t come right away. It’s been an awkward relationship for a long time. I got up from my seat.

“If you make up your mind, tell me directly. Or I don’t mind passing it on to the other members.”

“Uh, why do you care so much about me?”

“Hmm?”

“Ah, everything, it’s nothing else. I’ve been curious about it for a long time. Why do you care so much about me, a stranger?”

As I tilted my head, Bayard averted my gaze and continued talking. Her voice was a mix of guilt and fear. I listened to her

“At first, it was nice to be able to rely on it, but as time passed, my thoughts changed little by little.”

“What?”

“Isn’t it a nuisance to the captain? Maybe I’m becoming someone in the name of the Royal Knights.”

“Why did you think that?”

“……The reason why the Royal Knights were wiped out is actually because of me.”

“Is it because I didn’t do my job properly as a vanguard?”

Bayard nodded her head quietly. Each person perceives failure differently. Some avoid it, while others face it and move on. Who just accepts

Accepting is not a bad thing. The problem is that it cannot bear the weight and collapses. Bayard now was like that. Somehow, I’ve been feeling like he’s been avoiding me lately.

That’s what you were thinking. It seems that the pride he had as a vanguard was greater than he thought. I quickly shook my head. What would you like to say

I couldn’t hastily offer words of comfort. Because words without a soul can hurt. I think there was something I could do in this situation. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth.

“Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is what comes next.”

“What do you mean, Captain…?”

“Overcoming fear. It’s not as easy as it sounds. But in the end, you overcame your fear and chose to come back. I just decided to trust you.”

“…….”

“Did you think I persuaded you? No. Your actions persuaded me.”

Well, as far as I remember, my shoulder was in great pain. All I can remember is that Ruby was just watching from behind her. But it would be more advantageous to say it this way.

“Then talk again later…”

“Let’s meet.”

“Hmm?”

“Yooyoung, let’s meet again this time.”

“……Uh……”

Where did you suddenly get the courage? Bayard’s gaze did not waver any longer. Her firm gaze was looking at me. I replied scratching her head.

“There’s no need to overdo it. If you’re really okay with it…”

“It’s okay. I’m also… Trying to be brave.”

“That’s right.”

“Yes, because the captain trusted me.”

“Well then, let’s arrange a seat.”

It was decided too suddenly. Turns out, it wasn’t a bad thing. Because it was good for each other to solve it as quickly as possible. I left the room with Bayard.

“Sir, I will take care of you.”

“How long have you been there?”

“I was with you from the beginning.”

“Uh…”

You were with me from the beginning? After I asked for a car, I didn’t see him, so I thought he went somewhere else. You mean you’ve been following me ever since? What is that?

“Hey, Helia!!”

“Bayard, don’t bother the teacher too much.”

“Okay! Sorry!”

“…….”

Looks like Helia is happy. Bayard immediately embraced Helya. Of course, Helya was disgusted and pushed the bay yard away with her palm. I sighed.

Anyway, nothing bad. I don’t know about Helya, but Bay Yard thinks of Helya as her friend. I walked with everyone to find the guest room where Yooyoung was staying.

“…You’ve come again.”

“Yes. I have business to do.”

“I told you to be polite.”

“Because it’s not a situation to be polite.”

“Hmm? The person over there…”

Yana, a knight from the Miao tribe, said while tilting her head. Yana’s gaze was directed elsewhere. The place where she followed her gaze was none other than Bay Yard.

However, Bayard’s condition was strange. As if she had a nemesis in front of her eyes. Bayyard trembled with her fear. Bayard even hid behind me.

Then a memory passed through her head like a bolt of lightning. Not even in the past. When she was overhauling her arsenal a few days ago, Bayyard noticed the whip and her condition turned bad.

Unfortunately, the weapon Yana used was a chain similar to a whip. Is it seeing a weapon and reacting that way? If not, what about that thing right in front of you?

“This, in an unexpected place. I see someone I know.”

“…….”

“Certainly, did you ask to see Yooyoung?”

“…….”

“Stop it. Don’t talk to me any more.”

“As an escort driver for Mr. Liu, I have the duty to check each and every one of Mr. Liu’s guests.”

It’s not that I’m wrong, I was rather speechless. Yana was smiling for the first time. However, it was a very thick smile even to me. She laughed and opened her mouth.

“Sir Bayard, are you really asking to see Yooyoung?”

“No, so that’s…”

“Captain, I’m asking myself.”

I tried to respond on my own. Because I realized that he had something to do with Bayard’s trauma. But before that, Bayard answered first.

“Yes, it is.”

Yana’s expression was very crumpled.

* * *

The captain always cared about himself.

On the day we first met, he accepted me as a member by giving me a hug rather than a scolding. And he kept giving me a chance. To cover up the mistakes of the past. Too many opportunities.

How can I forget that grace? But every time I felt that way. Is it true that you are here? Could it be that I was rude to the captain? Thoughts gnawed at my mind.

[You are useless anymore.]

[Don’t be funny, who are you to say that…… !!]

[Because Yooyoung said so. You know that?]

[…] … !!!]

From a certain moment, meeting with Yooyoung decreased. I thought she was a friend Could it be that he just used it? No, no. We are friends right So, I continued to believe until the end.

However, that trust was eventually betrayed. As a result of continuing to visit Yoo-Young, who had refused to meet her. She finally got a chance to meet her. However, Yooyoung did not come there.

Her

Instead of her, her beastmen who followed her were there. And that day Bayard was beaten to death. But the fact that he was betrayed by his friend hurt him more than the pain himself.

And from that day on, the severe bullying began. Although he did not put up with injustice, Bayard, whose mind was still weak, gradually darkened his personality. The result is this.

“This, in an unexpected place. I see someone I know.”

Still, Bayard considered Yooyoung a friend. There must have been some misunderstanding. Some people might think I’m being nice. At least Bayard is sincere.

However, I met an unexpected person here. Yana of the Miao tribe, the leader of a group that harassed her in the past. She met her here. Her body hardened.

From noble mtl dot com

Memories of her past began to crawl up her body like worms. Her helplessness and fear gripped her body. She couldn’t say anything. Until the captain moves.

“Stop it. Don’t talk to me any more.”

[Overcoming fear. It’s easier said than done. But in the end you chose to overcome your fear and come back. I just decided to trust you.]

The person who first believed in me. The person next to you Just by realizing that fact again, her fear that weighed down her vanished in an instant. Only then did Bayard speak.

“Yes, it is.”

There was no more fear in her voice.
