I Became the Wrong Race

158 – Miracle (5)

Lie Hejedia.

She was a familiar character to anyone who played the game. She doesn’t appear often enough in the Grimm Darker to say she has perfect attendance…

Still, since the stage of Part 3 was the entire empire, there were many things that were subtly intertwined.

And given that she maintains her position as the Empire’s greatest sword, unless the player chooses one of her warrior subclasses of her, Liehejedia is bound to be a memorable character.

The fact that she was both the finance minister of the empire and an excellent swordsman made her an unforgettable character.

I also knew Lie Hegedia. Because she knew, wasn’t she secretly surprised when she was the subject of a miracle?

At the same time, she could see that Balterok had not betrayed him, but had simply been tied down.

At first, I wondered what on earth Walterok was doing that he couldn’t provide any help in this situation.

But is Hejedia holding on to the Imperial Sword?

It was obvious she couldn’t come. When it comes to standing up to the strong, she searched the entire continent and found no one like her.

Magistrate Faber would be just as good…

Even so, it was not at the level of Lie Hejedia.

If Faber had tried to stop Walterok and Lie Hejedia had tried to block Eshaterna.

Perhaps Faber is dead. Because Walterok’s power was not something that could be blocked by Faber’s fighting skills.

So when Balterok first appeared with Hejedia in the intact Lie, our reaction was natural.

The two collaborated?

They’re going to sweep up all the kills, and the big ADCs and supports are coming to blow up the game. How will they survive?

In my mind, in that case, I was planning to buy time by copying my older sister or Esha’s techniques through miracles.

I was glad that didn’t happen that way.

“I will surrender.”

I searched for memories. I remembered what the finance minister said as he turned his emotionless brown eyes towards me.

“How about a capable merchant, sir?”

Although she spoke as if she was inviting a taste of something, she needed no further elaboration.

She defected. She thought it was better to serve me than to serve the emperor.

Of course, I didn’t accept it right away because it was a false surrender and there was no possibility of betrayal.

Even that could be resolved through interrogation.

I can’t believe it, and if it turns out to be false, then what…

I’ll have to leave it to Eshaterna.

If not, it was enough to just accept it.

Lie Hejedia was a worthy talent.

Her outstanding swordsmanship and the fact that she was the best merchant in the continent were not something that could be overlooked.

So I moved early in the morning.

I lightly placed my finger on the closed door and knocked.

It was nice to hear the cheerful sound.

“Come in.”

The well-carved and well-finished wooden door barely made a sound as it opened. Rather, something like a pleasant texture could be felt through the handle.

Could it be because, unlike the pantheon that was completely ruined, enemies could not enter the nest?

Everything in the nest was no different from before the subjugation occurred.

And I saw the only girl in that nest who had completely changed.

Both eyes were tightly closed. The lowered eyelashes drew a gentle curve, giving the impression of benevolence, but my heart ached just looking at those eyelids.

It would have been better if I had been hit directly by the explosion.

Or if I had just thrown it away.

If only miracles had been used earlier.

As I closed my mouth as a thought came to mind, my mysteriously colored eyelashes trembled slightly.

“It’s not Llewelyn’s fault.”

A mouth that draws a soft arc. Still, I couldn’t be quick to say yes.

“Really. There is no need to worry.”

Melody’s eyes were bent with concern.

However, those concerns did not put me at ease.

That’s because Melody’s eyes she had no chance of recovery.

‘The magic power has penetrated too deeply. There is no hope.’

Ortemilia had said. This is what Melody said to me after the fight, when she hurriedly picked her up and carried her away after finding out that her eye was injured.

It was natural that I had trouble sleeping at night after hearing that. Even if I desperately try to think of something else…

It was obvious that it wouldn’t be easy.

It had to be that way.

The eyes are an important organ.

Losing one’s eyes meant disconnection from the world. It meant that you could no longer see what you used to see, and that you could no longer see beautiful things.

Melody was so confused by me and said she didn’t have to see anything bad anymore, but she tried to comfort me by saying that she had gotten better by losing her eyes.

Is that really more important than the eyes?

I didn’t think so. It was sad.

“Really, don’t just stand there, come here. Close the door too. “It’s cold.”

“… Yes.”

There was no sound when the door closed, but Melody noticed that I had closed the door.

“How are you feeling?”

“Are you okay. I slept well, woke up, used recovery magic, and Orthemilia prescribed various things.”

As said, Melody was wearing her pajamas.

Her white gown covered her body, and her hair and skin were wet with sweat.

“It looks like you were sweating a lot, even if you were in an uncomfortable place…”

“Oh, that’s because I tend to sweat a little when I sleep.”

Melody shrugged her neck as if she was embarrassed, and I felt relieved.

Ah, it can’t be helped if you have the constitution. At the same time, I’m glad I’m not in any pain.

Most causes of death are infection and internal bleeding.

“Still, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell us. Melody is still a patient.”

At that time, the people who were most seriously injured in the pantheon were Melody, me, and Ajae.

However, I am a homunculus, so I can regenerate, and my uncle is a mourner, so my health is high, so I got better quickly.

It wasn’t a melody. Melody’s health wasn’t that high and she didn’t have much defense.

The same thing happened when I lost my eye in the first explosion.

It was natural for me to feel guilty.

Melody said she was hugging the blanket and answering with a slurred voice, as she was hugging the blanket and was worried about her in the yard, showing off her sweat.

Only then was I able to take out the business.

“So, when can you go for questioning?”

I knew.

When it comes to interrogation, interrogation, and investigation, melody is the best in this pantheon.

Of course, because I lost my eyes, I couldn’t look at facial expressions or observe things closely.

Melody said this yesterday. She said that even though she lost her eyes, her other senses were awakened.

Now I can observe people more than I could with my eyes.

So we made a plan. After taking a break from Rie Hejedia, I decided to interrogate Melody and find out his true intentions

That’s why I came to pick up Melody.

“You will need to change your clothes and wash off your sweat.”

“You mean that?”

Melody put down her blanket as if she had never done so before. Slowly, the blanket came down, revealing her outfit in detail.

He was dressed like he was looking at me for a long time. The gown was thin, and some parts were wet with sweat.

Melody definitely seemed to sweat a lot when she slept. The parts that supported the gown, such as her shoulders, were soaked with sweat and were almost transparent.

Meanwhile, her sense of melody was not much different from when she had eyes. I rolled my eyes and avoided looking, no, feeling.

Melody said with a subtle smile.

“I start by wiping my sweat every morning. Since it’s a new prisoner, there’s almost no sweat smell… If you leave it on, it feels uncomfortable and you could get sick.”

“I guess so.”

“I tried using both dry and wet towels to wipe… “I’m like this now, right?”

In the meantime, I couldn’t turn my eyes away, so I looked at Melody’s face her her, and found that Melody was pointing at her small face her her her, to be exact, at the corner of her eyes her.

It gets complicated. Just by looking at it. Melody started to panic as she made a bitter expression.

“Ah, I don’t mean to make you feel guilty… !”

“Oh, I know. Well, it was what I needed. Yes.”

“Uh, so… “It’s a bit difficult to clean.”

Is that so?

I couldn’t figure it out. I’ve never lost an eye, so it wasn’t easy to even guess what Melody’s current condition was.

And at the same time, I feel like some anxiety is creeping in. I rolled my eyes and saw Melody sitting in one corner of her room.

A small bowl containing water for washing one’s face and two towels.

The melody probably won’t tell an obvious lie, but seeing it gave me an inexplicable sense of relief.

“Then can I help you?”

It wasn’t that difficult. Wet a towel, hand it over, hand over a dry one… Just washing my face.

Melody was overjoyed at my words.

“Oh, yes, that’s right. “I think it would be great if you could help me, but would you mind accepting it so readily?”

Those words are strange. I tilted my head and then smiled.

“This is something anyone can do. We have to go together anyway.”

“Yes? Then…”

Melody’s smile was also strange. He looks happy, but there’s something… What should I say?

An expression like something you’d see in a cartoon.

A smile that can only be made when the aim is exactly right. It was a time when I wasn’t sure because I couldn’t see the pupils.

Melody took her hand to my gown.

“Melody?!”

“Why?”

I ask calmly. I turned my head and heard Melody taking off her gown.

Beyond the sound of sweat-soaked fabric grazing the skin, the subtle mixing of breath, and the sound of equally wet hair fluttering against the fabric.

Melody smiled, showing her back to me.

“Will you help me?”

I was speechless for a moment while looking at those faces.

There were cut marks on the tips of her wings.

A sight that leaves you speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, I got up and headed to the sink where the wash water was filled.

Pull out the sink and grab two towels.

I focused on Melody’s wing ridges, not her pale, sweaty naked body.

At least that would be more effective than the national anthem.

The pain of having your wings cut off, the feeling of loss afterwards.

Maybe it’s because he’s calm even if he loses his eyes right now… There is even a gloomy and heartbreaking prediction that it may be due to that experience.

It calmed down my useless rush and blood flow, and I held the towel with those sad thoughts inside.

A towel slightly soaked in water became limp. It’s not wet, but feels slightly moist.

I took a deep breath, feeling the texture of the towel, and spoke with a firm attitude.

“Turn back. “I’ll wash you.”

“Please take care of me, will you?”

I thought it was fortunate to see Melody’s ears dyed red.
