The Lazy Swordmaster Chapter 206
Chapter 206. Before Departure (5)
A complete defeat. The words that came to the minds of five people, including Nainiae, who fought the Abyss, were completely defeated.
"I couldnt get it right even once"
"I cant believe we were beaten."
In particular, the two people, Nara and Iril, who had no idea who he was and were confident that they would win as he was young, looked blank as if they were shocked by the current defeat.
"I, I will treat you first." When the atmosphere calmed down after the battle, Priesia, who was looking at the situation, carefully gathered the other five and checked their condition. "First of all, I will start the treatment from Nainiae Hmm?"
Tuk, tuk, she opened the hem of her clothes that had been crumpled like a whirlpool by Abysss fist and looked at Priesia, tilting her head as if to ask what was going on. "Whats wrong?"
"Nainiae, is there any place where you feel uncomfortable?"
To Priesias question, Nainiae, who was looking at the crumpled part of her clothes, answered with a strange expression.
"no, there isnt."
Responding to Nainiaes answer that there was no uncomfortable place, Priesia turned to Nara and Iril and asked both of them as well.
"Both of you, are you two uncomfortable?"
"What?"
"Well?"
The two people, who were confused by Priesias question, raised question marks. They also tilted their heads like Nainiae, but didnt say they were sick or bothered.
"What about Ms. Sera and Mr. Ian?"
Ian only had a snowball fight with Abyss, and he had never physically bumped into him, so there should be nothing uncomfortable, but In Seras case, Abyss grabbed her ankle and threw her like a ball, so there was a high probability that her body was seriously injured.
"Me, me too"
"Me too, no problem."
Even though they took a pratfall or rolled on the dusty ground Far from being hurt, everyone was in a state where they didnt even get a scratch.
"Th this" Priesia muttered in disbelief as she saw Nainiaes body float in the air by Abysss fist and saw Naras body bend like a bow.
Abyss opened his mouth. "Priestess, are the children okay?"
"Yes?"
Its not awkward at all for a child much younger than her to ask without honorifics, but Priesia asked back in honorifics instead.
"Its been a long time since I moved around with this unfamiliar body. Honestly, it was difficult to control."
Noticing that they werent hurt, Nainiae recalled what Riley had said before coming here. Im worried about everything.
Nainiae was convinced that even if Priesia didnt use her divine eyes, Abyss wouldnt do anything harmful to the five people, including herself and she was sure that Abyss wouldnt do that to Riley either.
"Yeah, Im glad you all werent hurt." Abyss, who was looking at the group, nodded as if he was relieved and sat there.
"The warriors no, I was expecting that since Riley brought you here, Im sure they are good friends. But I didnt expect you to be such good friends. Its fun."
When Abyss, who was muttering to himself, started laughing, question marks appeared on the faces of Nainiae and the other five.
"I didnt mean to do anything to all of you. I simply thought it would be better to warm-up and go Thats it." Abyss, who looked closely at the six faces, asked with a grandfather-like look with a young face. "If you dont mind, Id like to tell you about your strengths or weaknesses with the warm-up we just had, is it okay?"
They were still looking at him suspiciously as if the alertness had not been completely resolved. Abyss sighed and changed the topic as if he couldnt help it.
"You dont seem to like talking about it, so lets talk about something else. For example the story about Riley you dont know?"
Only Nainiae, who knew about his past life, wriggled her eyebrows, while curiosity arose on the faces of the other five.
"The story of the young master that we dont know?"
"No way I have been with him since he was born. There cant be something about the young master that I dont know"
When Ian shook his head and tried to deny Abyss, Abyss burst out laughing and looked at Nainiae.
"Looks like you know about that?"
""
"Nainiae?"
As the groups eyes turned to her, Nainiae, who was frowning, looked at Abyss and asked.
"Are you called Abyss? Why are you asking me that question?" When Nainiae asked the boy in honorifics, Priesia looked at Abyss with a glance, As expected, there is something.
"If youre not going to talk, Im going to tell them. For your information, I already told the lizard child his story. The child seemed to be more interested in where he lived than his story."
The rest of the group, who were listening to the conversation between Nainiae and Abyss, started to look around thinking what to do. They were curious about the Rileys story that Abyss mentioned. They wanted to ask, but they couldnt because there must be some reason why Nainiae frowned.
"I hope you dont think badly. Im just trying to save time."
"Save time?"
"By the way, if we want to go into that world together, it will be better for them to know his story to some extent Dont you think its better to tell them in advance to save time while Riley is away?"
When Nainiae crumpled her face with an expression of still, Abyss shrugged and asked. "Did he tell you not to talk?"
"Thats" There was a time when Riley said it would be better not to talk about his past life, but Nainiae, who had never heard the word not to talk about it, blurred the end of her sentence.
"I guess you were warned." Abyss, who nodded as if he understood, said. "Well, I would have done that too. If its known for no reason, you might get caught up in troublesome things. However, things have changed a little now They have to know his story and go. Doing so is a shortcut to avoid the annoyance hes worried about.
They know whats bothering him."
Abyss, who looked at the group with a look of curiosity, added seriously.
"Its not a good thing to hide secrets between colleagues who will go to the other side together."
Abyss, who said that there might be a split later, looked sadly at Nainiae, who was still shutting her mouth, and praised her. "Hes got a good man." Abyss, who praised her with envy, said while scratching his hair. "Then, I have no choice but to say it myself."
"But" When Nainiae bit her lips again and blurred her words, Abyss told her as if she had nothing to worry about.
"If Riley asks whats going on, this is it. Tell him, hes being exposed. Its not a lie or an excuse, its telling the truth, so theres nothing to be afraid of. In my previous life, I fought like a horse. If it made me angry and tried to kill me, Id rather run away Its a shame to lose a friend to fish with."
Abyss began the story about Riley they didnt know, staring at the five people with question marks on their faces.
*****
"Not yet?"
""
"Are you not done yet!"
"Just wait"
In Andals cave, in the treasure trove Riley was pondering over and over again with a few items in front of him.
"Hmm what does she prefer?"
Looking at Riley, who was contemplating about what would suit her better than the one with better efficiency Andal managed to resist the urge to smack the back of his head and asked, "Whats the problem?"
"No, not what she likes I dont know what suits her better."
In his past life, in his present life Riley, who only gave gifts to his mother, was contemplating about what to give Nainiae.
"What would you do if she liked either side? You said youre going to return it. When you come back, you have to turn it back, what are you worrying about while grunting like this?"
When Andal glanced, Riley glanced back at him and opened his mouth blankly as if he had forgotten.
"Oh, right. It wasnt a gift."
""
"If its just rental, cant I just take it all?"
When Riley asked with a bloody smile, Andal, who had tested his limits of patience several times from Abyss until now, opened his mouth, turning his eyes into those of the dragons.
"Im going to kill you. For real."
""
When Riley expressed his willingness to pay attention in silence, Andal muttered, turning his eyes back to a human.
"Specifically, I think that girl will like anything you give her or maybe you can use your finger and say, which one should I choose?"
Riley, who was seriously contemplating using that method, shook his head and began to ponder once again.
"no."
"This jingle jingle rascal"
[Note: jingle jingle = used when youre sick of something, its a stronger expression than the word tired]
When Andal turned around as if he had lost and opened the portal leading to Ansirium, Heliona, who was flying by her masters side, flew to Rileys side as if she couldnt help it.
<I was just going to watch Master Rileys choice, but if it stays like this, the master will likely destroy the cave I will recommend it for you.>
Riley, who glanced at Heliona who flew over his shoulder, nodded as if he would accept the favor.
<Lets see what you chose>
There were three treasures that Riley had on the floor. The first was the red coat he took first, the second was a white scarf, and the third was the two small rings.
<The answer came right away.>
"Really?"
<Of course, this is it!>
What Heliona confidently pointed to was the third item, two small rings.
<The two are one set, right? You chose well! It wouldnt be a problem for Nainiae to use it The shape is simple, its a design shell love.>
On Helionas finger, who chose the ring without hesitation, Rileys eyebrows were subtly distorted.
"Hmm"
<Any problem?>
When Heliona asked if there was any problem, Riley, who glanced at her, scratched his cheek.
It feels awkward.
The reason why Riley, who had given Nainiae the Astroas Ring as a gift around the end of spring last year, wasnt able to choose the ring was no different.
To me, the ring I gave her last year was very old Thats why I was trying to give it to her, but it wont look like it if you look around.
It was because he was slightly embarrassed.
<I heard a rough story from my master, are there seasons in the world over there?>
Riley, who was scratching his cheek, nodded and answered Helionas question.
"There are."
<Then, are the seasons over there and the seasons in this world the same? Its spring now, but if its midwinter the scarf is not bad either. If not, well.>
"A scarf" As Riley turned his eyes from the ring to the scarf, Heliona shrugged and continued.
<If you feel that the ring is lacking, and you dont need a scarf because the worlds season you are going to is spring right now, it would be best to choose the red coat with the elimination method.>
Heliona nodded with her eyes closed, saying that it would be best to take the red coat, except for the ring and the scarf then a voice came from behind.
"hey."
<Or would you like to see other things besides these three? There! There was one thing Nainiae wanted to have up there that you couldnt see My master didnt give me permission at that time, so I couldnt>
"Hey."
<Hmm?>
With the voice coming from behind and the heat that seemed to burn her wings, Heliona turned her head.
<Ah>
"What are you doing? Now?"
<Ah, thats thats it>
Heliona began to whistle to pretend she didnt know, but it seemed that it wasnt enough to extinguish the fireball on Andals eyes.
"what should I do?"
Choose it or not Riley was struggling, tilting his head as if he hadnt picked one of the three items yet.
"Ah, this rascal for real!!"
It seemed that his frustration had finally exploded. Andals eyes flashed like those of a dragon, strikingly approached Riley, shoving the three items that Riley was struggling with into the bag he had in his right hand.
"Hey, what the hell"
"Just eat it all! You rascal!"
As Andal shoved things into his bag and swung it toward Rileys face, Rileys hair was messed up by the wind pressure from his mouth.
<>
When Andal, who dragged the bag on the floor, walked into the portal that had been opened beforehand, there was only silence in the cave where only Riley and Heliona remained.
