25.

What should I do with an expression like that? I couldn’t express it in words. You must have seen an expression like that before. It looks pathetic and sad. But it also looked scary. For a moment, I couldn’t suppress the emotions that came out, sending goosebumps down my spine.

What should I call that?

“… … half?”

After hesitating and calling his name, he returned to his usual expression, but the shock from before still remained. It was only later that his fingertips began to tremble. However, Richt naturally clenched his hands and concealed his trembling.

“yes.”

Ban answered calmly.

‘I made a mistake.’

Here, you are ostensibly pretending to be someone else, so you should not speak low to your class.

‘Actually, I think I know everything.’

Still, I should have been careful. She did something stupid.

“They said he was a commoner.”

As expected, Abel catches the pod and is sarcastic. Ban looked at Abel blankly. That was all, but strangely enough, the mood began to subside.

[It’s spooky.]

[I know.]

[I know! It’s because of that guy!]

The spirits pointed at Ban with their wings and beaks.

“half.”

Richt calmly called Van’s name one more time. Then Ban slowly turned around.

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

“yes.”

Ban followed Richt quietly as he left his seat. First of all, there was a need to go to a place where there were no other people. There was no way to leave the inn, so there weren’t many places to choose from.

The most comfortable place was the room I was currently staying in. I went into the room, closed the door, and asked the spirit.

“Can you make it so the sound doesn’t leak out?”

[It’s that easy!]

The spirits nodded excitedly.

[This is my first request!]

[let’s work hard!]

Then six of them stuck to the door and window. He flapped his wings a few times and the room instantly became quiet. Only after Richt checked it did he look back at his class.

‘You’re very thin.’

Your body is thinner than when I last saw you. In addition, the area under her eyes was dark and she looked very tired. I should be happier if I had freedom, but why does it seem harder?

I couldn’t figure it out.

‘Is freedom awkward because I was born a slave?’

That’s a possibility. Considering the life Ban has lived so far, he may have done too much. For Ban, the position of Leviathan leader would have been everything. Richt reflected again.

‘Still, I didn’t expect to meet you here.’

I don’t think he followed me on purpose. Even though she was crying because half of the people were told she couldn’t do it, she couldn’t come along. She didn’t think she would have found out about it this far.

‘Should I send it back first?’

It occurred to me that maybe Van had been scouted by Archduke Graham, but what? I sympathized with Van, but it was not easy to be considerate of him when his life was in danger.

‘Was I always this type of personality?’

I think he was originally quite considerate. Is it because he behaved unruly after entering Richt’s body? I felt like I could swing half of it.

I need to talk first. Although it may be somewhat one-sided.

I can’t think. The voice I heard earlier kept lingering in my head. Archduke Graham’s words about kissing his lord never left his mind.

The moment I first heard it, the murderous intent that I had always buried deep came out.

‘I want to kill him.’

I wanted to cut Archduke Graham to pieces with my sword right now. His heart burned black with emotions he experienced for the first time in his life. What should we call this? As a class, we couldn’t tell. If Richt had not called him, he could have put his sword to Archduke Graham.

‘It’s unpleasant.’

What if it’s unpleasant? The opponent is an archduke from a different class and background. You must realize reality. Even though I knew that, something inside me continued to grow. It seemed like I couldn’t just keep it like this.

When I turned around, I saw Richt looking startled.

‘Am I making the right facial expression right now?’

Ban barely changed his expression. Only then did Richt look relieved. But that’s because she only changed her surface.

Archduke Graham’s eyes were cold as he looked at Van.

“It’s better not to do foolish things.”

There was a voice that only half could hear. It was a skill that only the most capable knights could perform, and Archduke Graham seemed to be able to do it.

‘What a waste of time.’

Wasn’t it Archduke Graham who did the trick? Half of the time, without realizing it, I pressed down the corner of my mouth that was about to go up in a sneer. Then he calmly moved after Richt. He felt eyes poking at him from behind, but he ignored it.

The inn was quiet as everyone had left. The old hallway creaked with every step. Half of them were contemplating the unfamiliar feelings that suddenly arose. She then walked into her room with Licht, and when he came face to face with her, she felt like crying.

The unnameable emotion caused Ban so much pain.

I wanted to devour Richt’s lips as soon as my eyes touched them. He wanted to hug him tightly and kiss every part of him.

I absolutely hated the idea of ​​Richt kissing someone else. I wish I was the only one kissing her. An emotion that she couldn’t even name filled her body. Now it really felt like it was going to explode.

I was born a slave and raised as a slave, so I was able to endure it somehow, but it was painful. Ban took a step forward without realizing it. Richt’s body trembled slightly but he did not back down.

‘You’re not the type of person to run away.’

If he knew his partner’s feelings, he would whip him until his skin was torn for having dirty thoughts.

‘That’s not bad either.’

Starting one day, Richt took pity on Van and rewarded him every time he treated his wounds. Then again she would be able to get treatment and sweet things if she tore her back.

So I wanted to cross the line. She wanted him to whip her again. Just as Ban’s large hand was about to touch Richt’s cheek, the spirit screamed.

Van couldn’t see the spirit and couldn’t hear the scream, but Licht reacted.

[Such an ignorant person!]

[Ouch ouch!]

[I won’t lose!]

The spirits that were stuck to the window were returning to their original form.

[Stupid idiot!]

[A big human is knocking on the window!]

[This is to be destroyed!]

In the end, the spirits gave up and jumped out of the window. At the same time, the old wooden window shattered. Van reached out to touch Richt and protected him. Fortunately, because we acted quickly, Richt was not hurt in the slightest.

“Howdy.”

Abel waved his hand through the broken window.

“What are you doing?”

Richt asked with a puzzled expression.

“I was catching bugs.”

“Who catches bugs like this?”

The windows were destroyed and the walls were bare. Seeing the wind blowing in, I felt it was a bad idea to write it like this.

[it’s crazy!]

[Why on earth is it like that?]

The spirits protested, but Richt and Loren were the only ones who could hear them.

“Why on earth did you do that?”

Lauren, who was standing next to Abel, looked at him with a bored expression.

“Why did you suddenly destroy the wall of an otherwise fine inn?”

“To save the delicate lamb.”

At those words, Lauren looked at Richt, who was looking outside the open wall. That person is thin? It may seem like it on the outside, but considering the venom it contains, it’s hard to agree. Above all, half of the people I was with were half.

It seemed unlikely that he, who was a slave to his core, would try to harm his former master. Even now, if you look at it, isn’t it protecting you from getting hurt?

Lauren could only sigh. Not long after, the innkeeper, who had become contemplative, ran outside. Now it was up to Lauren to make that person understand.

‘It’s my arm.’

I was about to walk away muttering, but suddenly I saw Abel smiling with a fierce look in his eyes. She moved her gaze to see who she was showing such a thing to, and saw Ban standing at the end.

Every time I asked him to bring me back, he didn’t seem to like it.

“Sir Ban is a capable knight. “Let’s not include the housemaster.”

When I said this quietly, Abel laughed.

“Not all competent knights are good knights.”

Abel left an ambiguous comment. Richt, who had appeared at the window, suddenly disappeared, leaving Ban standing in his place.

Even though I was far away, I felt a chill.

‘Do you think you’re angry?’

But I felt like I would be even half angry. He called me in and praised me, but suddenly he got grumpy for no reason. Even if Ban had a saint-like personality, he was still angry.

“First, I will appease the innkeeper and come back, so please do not do anything in the meantime.”

“You sometimes feel like your liver is swollen.”

“Sometimes? “Often.”

Abel tolerates subordinates to a certain extent as long as they do not cross a certain line. And Lauren, who was capable in her own way, set the bar quite high.

“How can I work if I can’t even say things like this?”

Lauren grumbled. Fortunately, the conversation with the innkeeper ended peacefully. In front of the bag of gold coins, he collapsed helplessly and became a meek person.

“Oh my, you can destroy everything. entire!”

It seemed like he had a strange greed, but that was understandable. Lauren finished all her work and went back to Abel. He was sitting on a bench in the yard, cleaning his sword, and the location was right in front of Richt’s room.
