The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

80 – Ruby’s Spirit (2)

On the surface, it may seem that nothing has been prepared. Lionheart Fortress was heavily protected by Cluna’s barrier. What does that mean?

If you touch quite a few monsters, they will turn to ashes. Even if it doesn’t turn into ashes. It means you can catch it right away. But now this guy didn’t.

The barrier didn’t react. If so, either one. Either he cheated on the barrier, or he wasn’t a monster. To me, the former seems more likely than the latter.

Anyway, thanks to sawing with soul. I was able to rescue Ruby somehow. I desperately hid the pain in her arm and glared hard at her flying ball.

“You are my precious member. Can you not take them away?”

That’s why it’s a little hard to just stare. He spoke in the tone of a leader as much as possible. Either way, Balak just flies high into the sky. sh*t…… I was ignored.

“Ruby! Are you okay?!”

“Oh, you’re not hurt anywhere?!”

“I’m fine.”

“This… I have no choice but to explain everything.”

At some point, the words of Captain Yu Ren approached me. I nodded helplessly. I tried to keep it as secret as possible and deal with it quietly. Now that this has happened, there is nothing you can do about it.

But before telling the truth. I asked Cluna to check Ruby’s physical condition. I wondered if maybe Ruby was pretending to be strong. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

“It’s fortunate that it ended with minor injuries.”

“That’s right. Why don’t you trust what people say?”

“It’s better to be certain.”

Rather than hiding a wound for no reason and then adding it later. It is better to check and treat for sure. Anyway, after checking her physical condition, we were now gathered at the round table.

The Round Table of Equality.

A round table prepared for fair dialogue between all races without discrimination. But now, the feeling of being used as a conference room was stronger. And there, I was the first to open my mouth.

“I’ll start with the conclusion. Ruby, your father has become a monster.”

“…….”

“You don’t look very surprised.”

“No, for some reason I thought it could be.”

Because I’m watching Ruby’s calm reaction. Rather, it upset me. How on earth did she routinely do crap that would make her daughter think that way?

With deep condolences to Ruby, who grew up under such rubbish. I even revealed the request from the Dwarven Principality to everyone. The request is Balak’s punishment.

“The Dwarf Principality has already defined Balak as a monster. So it seems that they are leaving the treatment in our hands.”

“Then there is no need to hesitate.”

“There is no need to pretend to be strong…”

“I’m not pretending to be strong. I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

Is it because of my mood? For a moment, a bright pink light seemed to flow from her auburn hair. But at least it was clear that there was no lie in that statement. Relief…… Is it?

“I have a request for one thing.”

“What is it?”

“My father said he would kill me with my own hands.”

“…….”

There was no trembling in his voice. Rather, it was a calm tone. She is the daughter who swears to kill her father. I don’t know the circumstances. I can only say this one thing.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem fortunate.

* * *

Although Hans went on to say that it was okay.

Balak’s invasion left more challenges than expected. First of all, Cluna realized that there was a loophole in the barrier due to Balak’s invasion. But she couldn’t understand at the same time.

If it’s a monster or a demon, you should be able to block them all. It entered the barrier without incident. He went one step further and tried to kidnap Ruby. Even though she has her barriers.

What’s even more bizarre is that even though it’s right in front of you. Strangely, she couldn’t read the signs at all. It felt like I was standing right in front of a disembodied ghost from a fairy tale.

“There must be a secret.”

It’s not like yesterday or today that they do dirty tricks. I’m sure that guy named Balak was up to some trick. However, that doesn’t make it a hole to escape from.

The barrier has been breached. Anyway, that fact doesn’t change. It left a huge scar on Cluna’s pride. I showed a lot of rudeness to the leader because of what happened before.

Here, she couldn’t disappoint the captain any more. So Cluna went straight into magic improvement. Of course, the barrier protecting Lionheart Fortress. It is an improvement of all magic possessed.

“The leader’s enemies… So that he can catch and kill them more reliably.”

Though it flows in a strangely dangerous atmosphere. It hadn’t bloomed yet. Now let’s turn our attention elsewhere. Yuren is left alone in the courtyard, swinging her fists in her alone.

It came as a shock to Captain Yu Ren as well. In fact, the dragon isn’t much of a shock. It is to pass it over thinking that it is so. Because it’s not stimulating.

But that was an exception. A presence that even the dragon himself did not notice. Rather, it was more like a bug, so easily traversing the sky of Lionheart Fortress and infiltrating it.

Thanks to you, the response was delayed. If the leader hadn’t stepped forward. Ruby would have been kidnapped by it. When he thinks like that, he becomes more unable to forgive himself for being careless.

“This is unacceptable. To think I could have lost another colleague again…!!”

Whipping his own ignorance and weakness. Yuren continued to swing her fist. It was like that before. I believed that if I was with her, everything would be fine. The result is the annihilation of the Royal Knights.

“Powerlessness. Powerlessness is sin. Sin is wrong.”

At that moment, she stopped swinging her fist. Her face, bathed in moonlight, was flushed with blush. Her strong legs narrowed. Yuren covered her mouth with her palm.

“…If you do something wrong, you should be punished.”

Doesn’t the captain want to punish you?

Hmm, a little scary. Enough of this, now let’s look at the others. Clara was staring blankly at the ceiling. It was because the leader didn’t play with me and I was bored.

On the contrary, Helya in front of him was smiling. But no one will know what that smile means. That day, that is to say, the day Clara and Cluna returned to this fortress.

Helia instinctively noticed. The fact that they came to long for the love of the leader. She had an unbearable desire to kill for a moment, but Helya desperately suppressed her desire to kill.

There was only one reason why she suppressed her flesh. Cluna and Hans thought they had caught the wrong thing with their continued education. It’s not Helya who can easily change into something like that.

‘Because the teacher must be sad.’

I love my teacher. That’s why, she hates being taken away. I want to kill those thieves right now. But, if that happens, the teacher will hate me. Obviously it will.

Because the teacher is a kind person. It must be sympathy for such pathetic things. So, as a teacher’s disciple. I too must have them. That was the conclusion Helya had made.

Even though it swallowed up the anger. It was the reason Helya stayed by Clara’s side. She should at least pretend to be friendly, because she’ll be pleased in the eyes of the teacher. Then, Clara spoke.

“Hey, Helia?”

“Why?”

“Before, I said something about s*xual desire.”

“Yes. Why? Have you changed your mind?”

“Thinking about this again, I wonder if the love between elves and humans is a bit common.”

“…….”

Though tendons sprouted from Helya’s forehead. Clara is talking on her own, blushing her face without noticing her. Well, do your best, Helia. And…… Now, there were only two people left.

Bayard and Ruby were preparing for a decisive battle. For Ruby, the most trustworthy person except for the leader. Because it was Bayard. Bayard also gladly responded to Ruby’s words.

‘Oh, what should I do? Guess, should I encourage you?’

But unfortunately. This position was very unfamiliar to Bayard. Because of his timid personality in the first place, he has never properly interacted with others. If there was, it was almost all sparring.

But what about talking to Ruby who is determined to kill her father? Doesn’t that make you feel uncomfortable too? No such thing was possible. But even so, being quiet like this is a bit…….

But contrary to what others think. Ruby really had her head cold. Of course, I immediately noticed its identity. I just noticed it as soon as I saw it. She couldn’t help but notice.

[This is my precious unit. Would you mind not taking it away?]

I thought I would be furious if we met again. However, one word from the leader made the anger go away. Of course, I have no intention of forgiving my father. However, I had no intention of running amok in anger.

“You have to distinguish between public and private.”

Yeah, aside from the crap my father did in the past. Now he has fallen into a monster. In the name of the Royal Knights, to a monster who has strayed from the path of man. To lower the sword of punishment.

That was my job.
