Side Story Episode 17
I successfully installed the new heating artifact.
And now, in my hands was the completely broken existing artifact.
It seemed to have breathed its last breath as soon as I returned.
…Which means.
While I was away, this little guy held on until the end, protecting the potatoes.
It was a tearfully moving true story.
‘…Come to think of it, I didn’t water them?!’
This was serious.
I had to quickly supply water to the potatoes!
Thinking of the potatoes that must be thirsty even at this moment made my heart ache. Just as I was about to turn around.
“…Found you.”
A spine-chilling voice was heard.
When I turned around, a man who seemed to be carved from the night itself stood there like a shadow.
His bright red eyes glowed eerily in the darkness.
“…Yurta?”
I was startled.
Why is he here?
I don’t know the reason, but this worked out well.
I should make him go to the water tank and fetch some water.
“…Did you think I wouldn’t be able to find you if you hid in a place like this?”
What is he talking about right now?
At that moment, Yurta walked out from the darkness.
Simultaneously, a certain realization flashed through my mind.
“Yurta, don’t tell me you think I’m….”
“It’s useless, Sister. Wherever you go, I will find you.”
…He thinks I was trying to run away.
This is driving me crazy.
“Your body seems to be fully recovered now. Seeing how well you’re moving around.”
Then Yurta strode toward me.
“No, that’s….”
“Then there should be no problem leaving this land now.”
“Wait, let me finish what I’m saying….”
“Don’t.”
He pulled my arm toward him in one swift motion. My body, losing its balance, instantly leaned toward Yurta.
“Ah…!”
“Don’t try to bewitch me again with your words.”
He walked forward without letting me go. As if he intended to leave this land immediately.
‘Saying I came out briefly to save the potatoes isn’t bewitching!’
On one hand, I was dumbfounded.
When you’re acting like a crazy bastard, isn’t it natural for me to choose to run away?
“Yurta, I wasn’t trying to run away.”
“Then what?”
“I was checking on the potatoes….”
“Ha. Are you telling me to believe such an insincere reason?”
This bastard isn’t listening at all.
Damn bastard.
Rihardt would have understood my sincerity about potatoes!
I grabbed my throbbing head. Maybe it would be better to just give up on explaining.
‘It’s not like this is the first or second time we can’t communicate….’
Right. Let’s give up.
“Fine. Think whatever you want.”
At this point, I was getting annoyed too.
You always want to do things your way. It’s disgusting every time.
I felt foolish for thinking, even for a moment, about trying to change my relationship with Yurta.
“But our relationship will never be able to change.”
“….”
“Just like now, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life.”
It was the moment I was about to give up like that.
Shing-
Yurta suddenly drew the sword he was wearing at his waist.
“…What are you doing?”
I asked anxiously.
“I should get rid of that cabin after all.”
“…Huh?”
Why is your thinking suddenly jumping like that?!
Yurta sneered. At that moment, dense magical power gathered at the tip of his sword.
“You crazy bastard! Don’t destroy it!”
If that hits, the cabin and potatoes will…!
“Sister will be living in my house from now on. That trash heap isn’t necessary.”
“No, my potatoes! At least avoid the potato garden…!”
I desperately clung to Yurta’s arm. I have to stop him. This crazy bastard is going after my potatoes…!
Do you think it’s easy to grow food in the Cursed Land?!
“Ha, that damn potatoes again.”
Veins bulged on Yurta’s forehead. He swung his sword as if to show off.
The target was next to the cabin, the vegetable garden I had lovingly tended.
BOOM!
With a thunderous roar, dust rose like a storm.
“Aaaahhhhh!”
I screamed and collapsed while still holding onto Yurta’s arm.
It’s over.
My potato farming, my food supply, my children….
“…Huh?”
After the dust settled, I doubted my eyes.
The cabin was intact.
And the vegetable garden….
“…Wow.”
The ground was turned over deeply and evenly.
The hard, compacted earth had become as soft as premium cultivation soil with one strike of Yurta’s sword energy.
‘…Could I farm on that land if I just purify it?’
It’s a quality that couldn’t be achieved even with a hundred rounds of ox plowing.
“…I missed.”
Yurta clicked his tongue and raised his sword again. I jumped up and blocked his path.
“Wait.”
“Move aside, Sister. I’ll aim properly this time.”
“No, wait a minute. Yurta.”
I looked up at him with sparkling eyes. Yurta hesitated, perhaps finding my gaze burdensome.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“…Do you see that empty land over there?”
I asked cautiously.
“Could you blast that area one more time? A bit deeper this time.”
“…What?”
Yurta looked down at me like I was insane. But I was serious.
“…Don’t tell me, Sister.”
What, why.
“Have you gone mad from the shock of me blasting this land?”
Huh?
“Are your memories of this place that precious to you?”
Huuuh?
Yurta’s desolate gaze fell upon the cabin. As if that place was the root of all evil, he gritted his teeth.
‘What should I do with this crazy bastard?’
He won’t listen to reason, and now he’s trying to destroy the cabin too.
I felt like grabbing the back of my neck.
Just then, a very faint vibration traveled up from beneath my feet. It was a low, heavy tremor, as if something deep underground was stirring.
Was it the aftermath of the sword energy Yurta had unleashed?
…Well, he did turn the ground upside down.
But it was strange.
The vibration didn’t disappear. Rather, it was becoming more regular and distinct.
‘No way.’
A chill ran through me.
I slowly, very slowly raised my head.
Beyond the horizon, I could see a massive black pillar connecting heaven and earth moving.
A great catastrophe occurring in the Cursed Land.
It was a weather anomaly.
A super-massive tornado was approaching.
* * *
The Borderland of Piete Estate.
Soldiers were stationed there. They watched with grim faces as the distorted sky beyond the land.
A massive tornado connected to the pitch-black sky was churning the earth.
Various abnormal weather phenomena occurred in the Cursed Land.
Tornadoes were also common occurrences.
However, a tornado of that magnitude was a phenomenon that happened once every two or three years.
“It’s abnormal weather. Anyone who goes in now will die.”
“Moreover, that’s not an ordinary tornado. It’s a mass of malice. Even a priest with divine power wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”
The Cursed Land could only be purified by divine power.
The Captain of the Knights gazed at the Cursed Land beyond the Borderland.
An ordinary tornado would last at most an hour before dissipating. But the Cursed Land was different.
“The tornado will persist for three days to a week.”
“What? A whole week?!”
“Yes. It’s not ordinary wind, but a massive magical storm created by concentrated malice. After that, malice will spread everywhere…”
If that happened, the crops in the estates around the Borderland would be ruined. Besides that, various problems would occur in the soil and atmosphere.
“Gasp!”
Just then, surprised voices could be heard from various places around.
The Knight Captain was frowning at the undignified sounds and turning his head when.
A carriage bearing the seal of the Evantes Family was entering.
There was only one person who would ride in that carriage.
Finally the carriage came to a stop, and a tall man stepped out from within.
Count Arzen Evantes.
“We greet His Lordship the Count.”
Everyone bowed in unison.
