The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

376 – Scene 376# Eye Contact

*

Maron was the chief of Tis village. In fact, he was quite young to be considered a village chief, but he had no choice. Because most of the population of Tis Village was elderly. He became the village chief for the practical reason that there was no one else worthy of the position other than Maron.

The only consolation is that Tis village is the smallest village in Maritella, so there are few people he has to worry about. How much work can there be in this rural area of rural areas? The reality of this village is that every day is peaceful and quiet.

However, not long ago, there was an incident that caused an uproar in Tis village. It was none other than Maron’s youngest daughter, Lina, who was chosen by God to be a warrior.

The hero with the mission of defeating the devil is my child. It seemed truly glorious to others, but that was because they didn’t know Lina.

Lina was a mysterious child. From the moment she was born she had the ability to communicate with animals. Because of her striking appearance, even young people from nearby villages came to see her daughter. To avoid such attention, Lina spent a lot of time in her forest. All the animals in her forest followed her and her villagers she said she was the reincarnation of a fairy.

Lina definitely had a lot of innocence like a fairy. She was unpretentious, had a smile and a kind heart, and was so simple that she had never killed a single bug.

That Lina is a hero.

From now on, she has to kill the devil.

It was difficult for Maron to accept that reality. But regardless of what she accepted, the reality was harsh.

“Are you the father of a warrior?”

“Yeah… That’s right. It’s called Maron.”

Maron bowed her head to the visitor who appeared on her black horse.

“I’m Isaac. “A person who works under Viscount Srix.”

“You were sent by the lord. But what happened here…”

“Previously… There’s one thing I’d like to ask. “Where is your family?”

“Yes?”

Maron, who was speechless due to the sudden question, soon came to her senses and opened her mouth.

“Uh… Her wife died of the plague a few years ago. “I have three sons, and all of them have gone far away to work.”

“… Hmm.”

“Don’t worry. As the lord ordered, we did not tell them that we were descendants of warriors or that our youngest son was a warrior. “I will keep your secret no matter what.”

Was it because the hero’s appearance was so sudden? Perhaps because the lord was concerned about confusion, he did not want the fact that a hero had appeared in his territory and his to be leaked. Therefore, for the time being, the soldiers strictly controlled not only going out of the village but also outsiders entering the village.

Isaac probably asked because he was worried that confidentiality would be leaked, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

“… You worked hard. It must not have been easy raising four children.”

“Yes? Oh, no. To farming, this Compared is…”

“It’s not easy. “It’s not possible, but if you want, I will let you at least send a letter to your sons in a foreign country.”

“Oh, no. It’s okay. Even if it’s later…”

“You may regret it.”

“Yes?”

“There is no time anymore. Soon you will…”

After speaking up to that point, Isaac suddenly closed his mouth. He closed his eyes tightly and held back something before opening his mouth again.

“… The appearance of a hero means that the devil will appear. “If the devil appears, do you think you will still have time to write letters to your children?”

“Ah… “It certainly is.”

“Write a letter today and hand it to me. I don’t know when I’ll be able to mail a letter again, so write everything you want to say. Do you understand?”

“Oh, yeah… “I will do that.”

He seemed cold and cold on the outside, but in reality he seemed to be a good and honest person. He thought that one should not judge people by their appearance. Maron, who was wary of Isaac at first, also felt relieved.

‘Anyone who cares this much…’

Maron asked cautiously.

“Has Isaac come to see my daughter?”

“That’s the way it is.”

“Then… Despite the shame, may I ask you a favor?”

“Please?”

“That… If you meet her, you’ll probably know that my daughter isn’t the kind of girl who can fight with anyone… God chose my daughter to be her warrior, so she cannot defy her fate, but as she is the father, I feel truly sorry for her when I think of her daughter having to fight against the devil. “If she takes that child to her lord, wouldn’t it be okay if you let her practice swordsmanship or martial arts. ?”

Something she had been thinking about ever since Lina was chosen as her hero. It may be difficult right now, but if you learn martial arts little by little, wouldn’t you be able to fight low-level monsters? Wouldn’t there be a slight chance that her daughter would survive?

In desperation, Maron asked her Isaac for a favor. And Isaac, who listened quietly to his words her, opened his mouth heavily.

“… I’m sorry. ‘I’ can’t grant that request.”

“Oh, no. I presume to ask you a difficult request…”

“But.”

“?”

“I will take responsibility for your family. No matter what trials come your way in the future, I will be with you.”

It was an incomprehensible word. I wondered if he was joking, but Isaac’s face his his was extremely serious. It contained an unknown sadness. Maron couldn’t understand, but Isaac probably wanted to help in his own way.

“That… Thank you Isaac. Would you like to wait a moment? Soon it will be time for my daughter to return from the forest…”

“No. Just tell me the approximate location. “I will go and see for myself.”

“Yes? Are you alone without an escort? “Isn’t it dangerous?”

“As I said before…”

Isaac got back on the horse he had come on. The sadness and seriousness from before had already disappeared from his face

“There isn’t much time. To me and to you.”

“One last thing…”

“Ugh…”

“Cheer up.”

“Wait, my arm won’t go up… ” .”

Lina, who was doing her push-ups, ended up falling sideways.

“It’s too much…”

“Ugh. Because he’s a real weakling. This is why you want to become a hero…”

Cuckoo Lottie looked at Lina in bewilderment.

After she was chosen as a hero, Lina was training her physical strength in her spare time. She couldn’t just stay like this. Since she didn’t know when the Demon King would appear, Lina had no choice but to prepare for the fight. Even so, she is at the level of an amateur when it comes to combat. All she did was swing a branch and work on her fitness…

“But does this really work? If I do this, will I become stronger? It just looks difficult.”

“I guess that’s how humans are. “I think if she moves her body like this, she can become stronger.”

“Interesting.”

“Ugh…”

Lina, who was panting, soon regained her stance.

“I’ll try again…”

“You don’t know how to give up. Lina.”

“Well, that’s right… I have to become stronger to save the world…”

Lina wiped her sweat and smiled brightly at Lottie and Mickey.

“Because I will become strong and protect you and your family…” ” . “Don’t worry.”

“Sniff…”

Is it because I was chosen to be a warrior? Lina seemed to feel a sense of responsibility as a warrior. Not only did she suddenly start doing her exercises, which she wasn’t doing before, but she also said something that seemed to reassure them.

Lottie and Mickey, who were like her childhood friends, felt sad to see Lina changing.

Maybe it’s because Lina is human. Because humans are a species that adapts to change faster than animals. Humans are a truly amazing species. Because no matter how harsh the environment, we have lived by cultivating civilization and creating a home for life. Lina may also change in order to accept and live with her harsh fate as a hero.

“But to protect us, wouldn’t it be difficult to do just three push-ups?”

“Ugh…”

“Today’s goal is 100.”

“Huh?! Anyway, 100 is too much! I am… !”

“For a moment…”

The first person to feel popular was Lottie.

“Someone is coming this way.”

“Huh? Could it be that my father… ?”

“No. “I’m riding a horse.”

“Word? There are no horses in our village, so…”

“What are you doing? Hide first!”

“Uh, huh?!”

“It could be targeting you. Hurry! Climb up the tree!”

At Lottie’s urging her, Lina hurriedly climbed up the tree. Meanwhile, Mickey hid in the grass some distance away.

How long was it like that?

A man riding a black horse appeared.

‘… !’

The moment Lina saw the man’s face, she unconsciously covered her mouth. He was a man with chillingly cold eyes. Sophisticated attire and elegance in every gesture. Even at first glance, he was not a young man from a nearby village. No, the man’s aura was so overwhelming that it would be rude to compare him with them.

A heavy silence fell in the forest. The man’s presence was so huge that even the chirping of birds could not be heard. It was as if the entire forest was frightened by his presence.

The man couldn’t find Lina and just looked around her. However, Lina continued to wander near the tree where she hid her body.

At that time, the man opened his mouth.

“I’m Isaac. “I am a person sent by Viscount Thryx.”

“!”

Could it be that he was discovered? However, the man who introduced himself as Isaac showed no signs of finding Lina. Either way, Isaac started talking to himself as if he were facing her Lina her her her.

“I came to give you bad news…”

Gulp…

The atmosphere was unusual.

‘Reena. No matter what you hear, you have to stay still. ‘Okay?’

At Lottie’s whisper to her, Lina nodded her head again and again. Okay. Just staying still is something anyone can do…

“The lord is trying to marry his son to you.”

“Yes, yes?! Huh?!”

“Lina!”

Lina was so shocked that she lost her footing in her tree. The result, of course, was a fall.

“… Huh?”

But the next moment, Lina was not lying in her pile of grass.

“Are you okay?”

“?!?!”

As if she knew where Lina would fall, her child naturally caught her in his arms. But she didn’t notice that.

Because Isaac’s face was so close.

Lina had never been this close to her face with someone who wasn’t her family, especially someone of the opposite s*x. Lina’s face her her turned bright red as she was so embarrassed that she fell on someone else’s body her her her, and even her tongue her her her stuck out in a loud voice.

It was strange. It must be her first time meeting him, so why is her heart pounding like this?

Yeah, yeah! This is embarrassing.

The man was probably sent by the lord. Seeing such an ugly appearance in front of such a person must have made his heart beat.

“Are you okay?”

It’s not too late. Even now, answer calmly and very politely… The moment I was about to do it, I made eye contact with Isaac.

Black eyes were staring straight at Lina. Lina felt like she was going to lose her mind from those eyes that seemed to be sucking her in.

“It’s okay… It’s okay… Yo!”

“… Is it really okay?”

“Yes, yes… ! Wow, it’s totally fine!”

My heart was pounding. Isaac, who had no idea about Lina’s situation, just tilted her head and examined her face.
