Chapter 43: 43: Didn’t I make a lot of money?!
Cu Chulainn was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "No, no, Master, what are you talking about? Why would I want to beat you up?"
At this moment, Cu Chulainn was undoubtedly the closest to beating up Scathach in his life, but... he chickened out!
Cu Chulainn is not a good person. It is impossible for him to say that he has no resentment towards Scathach, after all, even Kevin has resentment towards him!
When Kevin first arrived in the Shadow Kingdom, Scathach's decision to let Cu Chulainn dance on the brink of death was not a joke, but something she really did!
Otherwise, how could Cu Chulainn shorten the apprenticeship period from two years to one year?
Scathach looked at him with a smile but didn't point it out.
After all, there are so many people who want to beat her up, even Kevin has probably thought about how to beat her up in his mind.
Of course, there is another idea.
"Coward." Kevin glanced at him and muttered softly.
If Cu Chulainn was about to do it just now, Kevin... was ready to join in!
Being moved is one thing, and admiration is another.
But if you need revenge, you must take revenge; if you need grievances, you must take grievances!
But if Cu Chulainn didn't go forward first and attract fire, Kevin wouldn't dare to move. After all, he wasn't as tough as Cu Chulainn.
If Scathach had any backup plan or suddenly exploded, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Cu Chulainn heard Kevin's muttering, glanced at him sideways, and snorted.
Haha, you want me to test my hypocrisy and get beaten? No way!
Scathach looked at the two people staring at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Although this scene was often seen in the Kingdom of Shadows, it was always interesting and never boring to watch.
Kevin made dinner. While eating, Cu Chulainn looked at Scathach enjoying the food skillfully and suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that she couldn't eat the delicious food without Kevin, so she used her clone to follow him?!
After all, over the years, Scathach has long been accustomed to what Kevin makes and has been fed it for several years!
At night, Cu Chulainn ran away decisively, saying that there were not enough rooms, and he ran into the castle to live, leaving Kevin and Scathach behind.
Kevin let Scathach stay in his room because he didn't want Scathach to go to Cu Chulainn's room.
Although Scathach said that it was fine, she would go back at night anyway, and she couldn't let her real body sit on the throne of the Shadow Kingdom all night!
So...still nothing happened that night.
Next day
Kevin introduced Scathach to Connor, King Conchearbor, and others. The first ones were fine, after all, Kevin was an adult, so it was normal for him to find a female companion.
The kingdom's druid Kaisba had a strange look on his face. After all, he had met Scathach's clone six years ago because of Kevin's teachings.
Therefore, even though she was wearing a veil, Kaisba recognized her. After all, her appearance was not fake, and her long dark red hair was very obvious.
However, as a smart man, Kasba naturally could not say it out loud. In the end, he secretly pulled Cu Chulainn aside to ask about the situation and then accepted it.
After all, if there is really a headache, it should be the business of Lord Ruge, the God of Light and the Sun, and has nothing to do with him, a mere druid.
King Connor and King Conchieber originally wanted the two heroes Kevin and Cu Chulainn to receive the guests as the banquet would start tomorrow, but the two men found it troublesome and ran away as soon as they finished speaking.
Walking on the street, Scathach followed behind the two of them, not saying much, just looking around, curiously watching everything in front of her.
Although Scathach left the magic mirror during the five years of teaching Kevin, she had never been to these places, so she found them quite novel.
"After the banquet is over, you will go to the Kingdom of Lask and marry Emel?"
On the way, Kevin saw Scathach having a lot of fun by herself, and knowing that she rarely had the opportunity to walk around like this, he did not disturb her but chatted with Cu Chulainn instead.
"Of course!" Cu Chulainn nodded without hesitation. If it weren't for the banquet, he would have been ready to go a long time ago.
"...That guy Fergal may not let you marry Emel so easily, even if he swears a vow!" Kevin said after a silence for a while.
"It's okay." Cu Chulainn smiled and patted him on the back, "You will follow me anyway, right?"
Kevin looked at him and smiled too.
Yes, he will go, so no problem!
Then the two of them walked through the street and out of the city gate. When they were about to go to the Red Branch Knights' base, Kevin suddenly stopped and looked back at the Kingdom of Ulster.
"What's wrong?" Cu Chulainn stopped and turned to look at Kevin, somewhat puzzled.
"...There is a little boy. The day he picks up a weapon, he will become a great warrior, and his name will live forever on the continent of Erin." After a period of silence, Kevin suddenly spoke slowly.
Cu Chulainn was stunned, and Scathach, who was wearing a veil, looked at him, then walked aside and leaned against a tree.
Scathach knew that this was not a topic she should get involved in.
"But at the same time..." Kevin turned his head and looked at Cu Chulainn quietly, saying, "He will also die young."
"What happened?" Cu Chulainn frowned deeply. "Why did you suddenly think of talking about this?"
"...I can feel it." Kevin turned his head and looked at the distant sky. "When you go to the Kingdom of Lask and bring Emer back, you...will never be able to turn back."
"...Are you trying to persuade me?"
"No." Kevin shook his head, which surprised Scathach. He smiled at Cu Chulainn and said, "I am your brother. Don't I know what kind of character you are? I... just want to ask again."
"You know very well in your heart that the reason why father treated me so well was... initially... all for you."
Since destiny does not exist for Kevin, he... may influence the future!
Even if that possibility is extremely small.
"Do you...believe in fate?" Kevin continued to ask.
"...Believe it." After a period of silence, Cu Chulainn laughed and replied to Kevin's question: "After all, this prophecy was given to me by my father, Grandpa Kesba, and even... even you, my master!"
As he spoke, Cu Chulainn looked at Scathach who remained silent.
"Why shouldn't I believe it?"
Upon hearing this, Kevin did not say anything. He just looked at Cu Chulainn quietly and waited for his next words.
"I don't care if I die tomorrow or next year." After laughing, Cu Chulainn said to Kevin seriously: "I just want to enjoy my life! If I can live without fighting, I might as well die immediately!
Moreover, my reputation and deeds can be passed down. If you think about it this way, isn't it a great gain? !"
