The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

377 – Scene 377# Escape

*

“Aha… Isaac has come by order of the lord…”

“Okay.”

After putting Lina on her horse, I held the reins and walked ahead of her. In addition, Lina’s friends, a cuckoo and a wild boar.

Lina seemed to have finally calmed down and let her guard down and listened to my story.

Just as Isaac, the character I played in this era, resembles me in appearance, Lina also closely resembles Wendy. She was exactly like the adult Wendy. She often played in the forest, so her hair and clothes were covered in leaves, making her look like an elf living in the forest.

However, perhaps out of naivety or lack of awareness of embarrassment, her bare legs were clearly exposed. It’s hard to know where to put your eyes. In the end, I took off the jacket she was wearing and wrapped it around her waist.

“Hee, hee?! W-what are you doing?!”

“… It looks cold.”

“Well, I’m fine!”

“I feel cold watching.”

“I’m really fine… But…”

Lina hesitates but accepts my favor. Not knowing where to focus, she rolls her eyes here and there, and the more I look at her, the more she resembles Wendy.

Contrary to what I’m thinking of Wendy, she doesn’t know that I’m Tristan. She doesn’t know she is Wendy. Moreover, there is no awareness that this is an ordeal.

I’m worried that this is happening. I was only a supporting actor, but the main character in this ordeal was Wendy. In other words, it is Wendy, not me, who can clear this ordeal. Since she has no awareness that she is going through an ordeal, she is in extreme trouble.

I want to help you clear this ordeal on your own, but I have no idea how to help you.

Moreover, there was something strange about this era. Approximately the era when the second Demon King appeared on this land. The problem was why the second hero, who did not exist, existed in this era.

According to the history of the empire, during the dark times when the second demon king arrived, everyone waited for a hero to defeat the demon king, but the second hero never appeared in the world.

In the end, it was Alonso Isaachel, praised as a hero, who defeated the Demon King on behalf of the warrior. However, since a warrior named Lina appeared, Alonso’s chance to be active was virtually gone.

‘Could this be the abnormality that Michaela was concerned about?’

It was strange. It was said that trials only reflect the past. If you look at the current situation, it seems like the past has changed. If that’s not the case, there may be some backstory that I don’t know about. However, after hearing such a story from Michaela, she was distressed. It was difficult to tell whether what was happening during the current ordeal was normal or not.

Until now, I had been able to picture how the future would flow, but in this era, for some reason, I couldn’t see the future. I felt like I was swimming through mud without being able to see an inch in front of me. There was only one future I knew.

The only thing that happens is that a second demon king will arrive in the world within a few days.

Even though it was fast, it was too fast. In this situation where it is not even clear how the devil appears, a hero appears. Although it went differently from the past we knew, the appearance of a hero is something to be seen as a positive thing. However, no matter how special Lina’s abilities were, it seemed unlikely that she would be able to fight the Demon King within a few days.

There was little I could do. All I could do was write a letter to Lina’s father and send my regards to her family. Maybe if the devil appears… At that time, they will be scattered without even being able to say hello to their families.

In fact, it was a struggle. It may be useless, but after watching the lives of the warriors’ descendants through trials, I wanted to help them at least in this way.

By definition, a hero is someone who overcomes trials and rises above them. Fittingly, Wendy’s ancestors were all living through all kinds of hardships and hardships. It wasn’t as bad as Wendy’s, but it was like there was bad luck in her family.

Nevertheless, it was surprising that among them there was not a single one who had gone astray, such as a petty thief or a delinquent. It is the blood of a warrior.

“But Lina…”

When I turned her head, Lina was looking around at my coat, and she was sniffing it carefully.

“… “Does my coat smell?”

“Wow?! Oh, no!!”

Lina started, lifted her nose from her coat, waved her hand and shouted.

“Well, just…” ” ” . Poetry, it’s fascinating! City people dress like this… Because I wore it… !”

“Is that so?”

“Yes! There are no such good clothes in the city or countryside…”

Isaac is the owner’s butler. It’s insignificant compared to the coat I wore as Count Ruelberta. But it seemed strange to Lina, who was from the countryside.

“If you like it, you can have it.”

“Yes? No, no. It’s okay!”

“It’s a gift.”

“I’m fine…”

“Take it.”

“… Okay, thank you…”

After forcing her to give it to her, Lina eventually nodded her head. She seemed to be in a good mood though, so I guess she liked her coat.

Cuckoo!

But suddenly her cuckoo started crying, and Lina’s face lit up.

“Well, it’s not like that!”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, no… Roti… Oh my! Even if it’s not like that… Mickey! Don’t agree with me either, even if it’s the first time I met you today…”

“The first person I met… ?”

“Hey… It’s nothing…”

Lina is crying among the animals. I can’t even guess what they’re talking about…

Lina, who was talking about something unknown with the animals, opened her mouth as if she suddenly remembered something.

“Well, it’s more like marriage… It was so sudden…”

“Okay. It must be sudden.”

The lord’s intentions were obvious. He plans to marry his son to her warrior Lina before other nobles or the emperor finds out. If she does so, she will become in-laws with the legendary Hero family, and it will be an honor that she will remain as a maid. Still, she plans to deny it by saying that she found out later that Lina was her hero.

It is an extremely childish skit. The devil will appear in a few days, so what is all this? . Still, I came here to inform her of this news.

“But that is what Viscount Thryx means.”

“With me and the lord’s son? Ugh, how could you marry a lowly woman like me… He is a nobleman…”

For a moment, I almost burst out laughing. It’s not enough to complain about unfair marriage right now. She says she is lowly. Low self-esteem may also be a characteristic of the Hero family.

I shook my head.

“Compared to that guy, you are a waste.”

“Yes… ?”

“Conwell is such a jerk. He is a lowly person who cannot even tie his shoelaces by himself without someone helping him. To that, you compared are beautiful and noble.”

I casually said something profane to my master, but whatever. There is no such thing as loyalty to me.

“Ah, beautiful… “You say it?”

“Okay.”

“I-I… ?”

“Okay. I don’t want to compare, but compared to that ugly guy, you are an angel reincarnated in a human body… You could say that.”

“Huh…”

“No, maybe she’s a goddess.”

“S-stop… It’s okay if you stop talking…”

Lina was covering her face and lowering her head as if she was embarrassed. I guess I said too many useless things like this.

As soon as I shut her mouth, Lina started to say something to her friends.

Then she suddenly asked me.

“Uh… Then Isaac came to take me away… ?”

“Okay. But I want to give you a choice.”

“It’s a choice… ?”

“One is to follow me to Viscount Srix’s castle and marry the idiot master. And the other option is…”

I stopped walking. And then I looked up at Lina.

“Running away now.”

“Yes?”

“Abandon her name Lina and run away. I threw away all my burdens as a hero and ran away far away… Never appear in this country again. Then you might live happier than with the first option.”

Lina’s eyes widened.

“But I… You’re the chosen hero. You can’t run away… ?”

“Okay. But you are also a girl who knows nothing. You can’t save the world alone. You can’t carry everything alone. So you can run away. “You can forget about fate and run away with your family.”

To be honest, I wasn’t sure if it was possible. But she did not want to push Lina and Wendy to her harsh fate.

“If you want to run away, tell me. “I will help you escape.”

Lina could not hide her embarrassment, as she had never thought she would receive such an offer.

“Why… Why are you being so nice to me… ?”

“… “It’s just because I feel bad.”

“I feel bad… ?”

“Okay. Even if you become a warrior by God’s choice, it is too much for a child like you.”

“Well, I’m not that young… ?”

“… There is no way for the body and mind to be the same age. In my eyes, you are a very young girl.”

“Yes!? No, yes?”

“Choose. “I don’t have time.”

“Well, that…”

Lina was speechless and couldn’t say anything. The animals next to her were making a fuss as if they were saying something, but Lina had no answer.

She was just looking at me. Do you need to be sure whether she to believe me or not? She tried to add a few words to give her courage. But Lina opened her mouth before me.

“Uh… I know this is a strange question, but… Have we met somewhere before? ?”

It stung, but of course I didn’t show it.

“… No. It’s our first meeting.”

“Is that so… ? Something looks familiar…”

“You must not have seen it clearly.”

She answered slyly, fiddling with her horse’s reins. Then suddenly Lina burst out laughing.

“Hehe…”

“Why are you smiling?”

“Isaac… “You are a kind person.”

“I… ?”

“Vincent said Isaac is a trustworthy person…”

For a moment, I wondered what that was, but Vincent was the name of the black horse I was riding.

Purr.

Vincent shakes his head when we make eye contact. This was my personal horse. People didn’t ride it because it was ominously black, so I rode it to my heart’s content. I don’t know what that guy said to Lina, but… She seemed to have helped with her decision.

“I… “I’ll go.”

Lina nodded her head as if she had made up her mind.

“Run as Isaac said… I’ll hit it.”

“… Well thought out.”

“However… What about Isaac? If me and my family run away… “Wouldn’t Isaac be in trouble?”

“Don’t worry about that. “After you guys run away, I’ll run away to a safe place.”

“Well, of course…”

“?”

“Oh, Isaac, if you run away with us… “Why not?”

“With me?”

“Yes… If Isaac is going to run away too, I thought it would be better to go with him.. Besides, Isaac is alone.. If you’re alone, you’ll be very lonely.. .”

“I don’t feel lonely.”

“But…”

Lina twisted her fingers and looked at me. No, now that I see it…

“Is it because you’re lonely?”

“It’s true that I get lonely a lot, but… ! Well, this is my first time… !”

“?”

“To someone else than my family…” ” . This is my first time doing this… A little more about Isaac… I want to know… I have so many questions…”

Rina’s face turns bright red and she says something incomprehensible.

“Well, so… You can’t stay with me… ? Yes? I won’t bother you…”

It’s hard to refuse when he begins with such a desperate expression. Of course, from my perspective, I would be grateful if she ran away.

In the end, I agreed to Lina’s request.

“… I get it. “If it’s good for you, I’ll be by your side.”

“Really? “Did you promise?”

“Okay. “I promise.”

When I saw Lina’s brightened face, I thought it didn’t matter.

*

When I came out of the forest, the sun had set.

“Then we’ll leave tomorrow morning. Will you be able to finish preparations by then?”

“Yes yes… There will be no problem.”

I was drawing up an escape plan in my head.

First of all, I was fortunate that there were only a few people to take with me. Just Lina and her father Maron. She goes to a place where her brothers are and takes them as far away as possible. If possible, to a place that is out of the devil’s reach. In that case, no one will know that a hero has appeared, and Alonso Izakhel will come and defeat the Demon King, just as in history.

I thought so.

Cheolgrug.

“… ?”

The front of Maron’s house was a mess. For some reason, soldiers wearing armor were walking around.

What? The atmosphere is unusual…

When I arrived in front of Maron’s house, I realized that my plan had suffered a major setback.

“Isaac…”

Maron had bruises on her face, as if she had been beaten. And next to him stood a man who seemed to be made of ugly flesh.

“Master Cornwell…”

“Hey. You can tell just by looking at it. That pretty girl is a warrior. Nice to meet you.”

Cornwell, the lord’s son, smiled wickedly and waved his hand at Lina.
