I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 69. Stop the action, take off the bottom? (One)

Keter clapped her hands.

Pair, pair, pair!

“It is I, the fixer Keter, who uses such a person as a subordinate.”

Gyro’s momentum disappeared as if it had been washed. Zyro, who had returned to being a drunkard, took a sip of alcohol and said,

“You never really used it, did you? It was good at first, but now I’m even skeptical? cluck cluck.”

“It’s almost decorative. I wonder if the existence itself is reassuring.”

“Hey, as long as you keep drinking, I don’t care what you call me. Because this is the only thing that can make me drunk.”

Gyro throwing empty bottles.

There must have been a few drops of alcohol left in it, which spilled onto the floor.

Luke, weighed down by Gyro’s spirit, witnessed it unintentionally. A rat appeared out of nowhere, smelled the alcohol, immediately had a seizure, spat out blood, and died instantly.

What Gyro drank was alcohol close to deadly poison.

“eww… … .”

Luke’s legs were so weak that he could hardly stand up.

Keter noticed that Luke’s mental powers were reaching their limits. Keter wanted to press more here and promote growth, but Gyro still had some business to do.

“Gyro. let’s eat rice The boss shoots.”

“I don’t refrain from eating free food.”

Tuk-tuk.

Keter, who had awakened Luke by striking him on the shoulder, took the lead.

After a while.

When Keter arrived at the restaurant ‘Joyray’s Tavern’, which Keter frequented, the customers sitting there took notice.

“Keter and magic swordsman Gyro are going together?”

“Come to think of it, a certain knight has been looking for Keter for the past few days. There were rumors that they both disappeared afterwards and went out to the outside world… … .”

“If we went out into the world, why would Keter be here? The missing knight must have just died.”

Guests whispering about Keter. Among them, there were those who left in a hurry for fear of getting caught up in an incident.

“Pu-ha-ha. No matter how much Keter flies and crawls, the liqueur can’t get out. Lillian, that b*tch won’t be out here?”

A drunken person jokingly said, but no one laughed along.

The atmosphere in the tavern froze in an instant. A few people got up from their seats with weapons.

“Are you insulting Queen Lillian?”

“Crazy bastard. Get down in the direction of Queen Lillian right now and apologize.”

Men who threaten drunken people with their sober minds.

They did not accompany each other, nor were they knights. But then, all of a sudden, he came out like a madman.

Only then did the drunken man realize his mistake and hurriedly prostrated himself toward the north.

“Lee, I apologize to Queen Lillian. Please forgive this ignorant mistake.”

At the drunken apology, those who had risen went back to their seats. But they continued to stare at the drunkard who insulted the queen.

When a drunken drunken man notices and immediately leaves the bar, the glaring customers follow him out.

“If you’re done watching, order something, you rotten things.”

Joey Ray, the owner of the bar, shouted.

Keter raised a hand.

“Captain! With what I always ate.”

Joyray, blindfolded, came over to Keter’s table.

“Hey, Keter. Where have you been for four days? Could it be that you haven’t really gone out to the outside world?”

“Why, the captain wants to go out too? do you want to go If you do my subordinate, I will let you go.”

“You are laughing. It looks like the knight who came to see you gave you some money, but from now on you pay ten times the price of food.”

“I’ll put a straw on my lifesaver, this one?”

“I am the one who fed you from when you were a baby until you broke this floor rule. If I put a straw in, where does it go?”

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s free! You took it all and ate it up!”

“How many times have you told me that you only paid for the ingredients!”

Keter and Joyray grabbed each other by the throat and growled.

As Luke became restless, Gyro spoke to reassure him.

“It’s okay to fight, so just watch.”

“I have a question.”

“Just listen until the food is served.”

“Why are the people who just talked about the queen so excited? I like the queen too, but was that a joke?”

“Cluck. such a question I see why Keter carries you. why are you so excited? Opposite. Guys who aren’t excited are weird.”

“yes? But most people didn’t stay still.”

“Yeah, it’s liqueur here. There are many people who did not experience Lillian’s ‘blessing’ in the first place, and there is a reason why the influence is greatly weakened because it offsets the liqueur’s ‘curse’.”

“I have no idea what you mean.”

“It is normal. What you don’t know… Everyone is like you.”

Gyro was silent. As if there was no point in saying anything more.

Luke thought for himself without asking further.

“Blessing, by any chance, do you mean the Queen’s blessing received at the ‘New Year’s Festival’ every year in January?”

“Can you infer that far?”

“yes? I don’t think it’s a great reasoning… … .”

“I thought it would be like that from the looks, but you were definitely not born in the Lillian kingdom.”

“I don’t understand everything, but isn’t the Queen’s blessing good for the New Year’s Day celebrations?”

January 1st. On New Year’s Day, festivals are held in all cities. Along with the ‘blessing’ that Queen Lillian personally bestows on the people of the kingdom.

All the kingdom’s people waited only for January every year because of the various beneficial effects they got from Lillian’s blessing.

First, s*xual desire and s*xual feelings are tenfold.

Second, you can’t get pregnant even if you don’t use contraception.

Third, the mind becomes clear and physical strength increases.

Fourth, minor injuries are completely healed, and serious injuries are improved.

Finally, even after the festival ends, the above effect will slowly last for a while before disappearing.

Queen Lillian’s blessing was literally a blessing from God. God’s blessing without any side effects or cost.

There was no reason not to participate, and all the people of the kingdom looked forward to the first day of the new year.

However, there was the only place in Lillian Kingdom where the festival was not held – right here, Liqueur.

Gyro lowered his voice uncharacteristically.

“Lillian’s blessing is an invisible curse and poison. If you experience it even once, you become her servant in some way. It is different from loyalty or hypnosis. Originally, I couldn’t say this to anyone. Upon hearing this, report it to the guards immediately. I mean there is a traitor. how do you feel about me Do you want to report me?”

Luke’s eyes trembled.

It was because the moment Zyro said, ‘Lillian’s blessing is actually a curse and poison’, he felt a tremendous urge to kill. that he should be ‘sanctioned’.

How dare you slander Queen Lillian? She is the founder of this country and the mother of all peoples. Because of him, we could exist.

She deserves to be admired for that alone, and she even gave her a blessing, but it was unbearable to dismiss it as a curse.

“Was this all too much?”

It was at that time that Gyro, feeling Luke’s murderous intent, raised his fist to stun him.

baek!

Keter slapped Luke in the back of the head.

Luke hit his head on the table and passed out.

* * *

“Now this is the only way. Sorry. Do not forgive me.”

Luke had a dream. Her voice and appearance were blurry, but she could tell that she was crying.

she kissed my forehead It was soft and warm.

she puts me down I was very small. I got further and further away from her. she wasn’t leaving I was moving away from her.

Chew!

“Ahh!”

Luke jumped up at the coldness he felt on his face.

“Stop sleeping and eat.”

“Ugh!?”

Keter shoved the bread into Luke’s mouth.

Luke rebelled at first, but was fascinated by the sweet sour taste on his tongue.

“Ummm, uhm? Uhm-.”

Luke looked around while mumbling.

Luke chewed the bread and said to Keter.

“what? why did i faint? I remember arriving here and sitting down… I don’t remember after that. And what about that strange dream?”

“I do not know.”

“Every newcomer to liqueur is bound to experience mysterious fainting at least once. cluck cluck.”

Gyro leaned his sword on his shoulder and handed out an apple pie to Luke.

After receiving the apple pie, Luke narrowed his eyes.

“Looks like you and Zyro were talking about something important.”

“You don’t have to honor me.”

“Um… … .”

Luke, who was about to call him senior, realized that that was an honorific, and finally opened his mouth.

“Even if you call me uncle… Can I?”

“as you please.”

“Uncle Gyro. Why did I pass out? Please tell us.”

“Now you don’t deserve to know that.”

“yes?”

“When the time comes, you will find out for yourself. Even if I don’t tell you That would be the beginning of misfortune. cluck.”

Gyro started eating again.

There were already empty bowls on the table. What appeared to be at least 10 servings was eaten by Keter and Gyro.

But there was still a lot of food.

growl.

Still hungry, Luke hurriedly started eating, starting with apple pie.

Keter glanced at Luke and moved to a seat next to Gyro.

“Gyro. Please write me a letter of recommendation.”

Keter held out paper and pen, but Gyro shook her head.

“I already have something written. I had it just in case, but I didn’t expect to give it to the boss.”

Gyro taking out the crumpled parchment.

Although it smelled a little, the writings and signatures on it were genuine.

Gyro, who cut off the tip of his finger with his fingernail and bled, wrote Keter’s name on the letter of recommendation.

Finally, when the signature was written in blood, surprisingly, the blood was sucked into the parchment and imprinted.

“Here I am. By the way, where are you going to use it? Isn’t it impossible to leave the liqueur anyway?”

After getting the letter of recommendation, Keter held out a glass full of dark beer.

From noble mtl dot com

“You can go out. It disappeared for four days, it came back after being in the outside world. The letter of recommendation is required to participate in the Southern Sword Tournament as an independent.”

“I don’t know if it’s someone else’s words, but if the boss can go out, you can go out. But to go out and participate in the Southern Sword Contest… The boss is really eccentric.”

The two clinked glasses and drank the dark beer at once.

“Does the boss want to catch Lillian’s eyes too?”

Participating in the Southern Sword Tournament was like challenging the kingdom’s number one sword.

The kingdom’s first sword is a hero representing the kingdom and a knight favored by the queen.

In addition, you will be entitled to an audience with the queen and be granted her powers. Most of the participants dream of having an ‘audience’ with the queen and participate in the first sword of the kingdom.

As far as Gyro knew, Keter had never experienced Lillian’s blessing.

However, there was no reason to hate the Queen just because she hadn’t experienced the blessing. Lillian is the only ‘queen’ among the kings of the continent and a symbol of ‘beauty’.

Any man would admire her unconditionally.

Keter said, tearing off a chicken leg.

“It would be fun to become the first swordsman in the kingdom. Doesn’t that mean you can see Lillian’s face right in front of your nose?”

“Do you want to see Lillian?”

“If you want to kill it, you have to see it first.”

“… yes?”

Gyro doubted his ears.

Killing the queen?

Are you saying that lightly?

“What did you just say? Please say it again.”

“You’re killing Lillian?”

“her… … ?”

The scary thing about Lillian is not only ‘blessing’.

Even people who have not experienced bliss are fascinated by Lillian just by learning about her existence.

In particular, those who were born male are greatly affected by just looking at Lillian’s statues and paintings, even without blessings.

Men who are aware of Lillian’s existence and have seen her indirectly never have ‘bad feelings’ towards Lillian.

Gyro saw for the first time today a person who said he would kill the queen in his entire life.

Even if it’s a joke.

“Hasn’t the boss ever seen a portrait or statue of Lillian?”

“Gyro. What do you want to say?”

“Are you serious about killing the queen?”

“Why, are you interested too?”

“Why do you want to kill her?”

“When did you see me kill for a reason?”

“I’ve never seen anyone die for no reason.”

“It’s sharp.”

Keter raised her hand and called out to Joyray.

“Add one whole pork roast!”

“Yes sir! I’ll be coloneled soon!”

After receiving a 1,000 gold note from Keter, Joyray said with a smile.

“president. Please tell me.”

Zyro urged as if he really wanted to hear it.

Kether said with her chin resting.

“Because that b*tch quarreled with me first.”

“… … .”

“So I’m going to kill her too.”

“It is nonsense. No human being can live with her wrath. Even if it is here in the liqueur.”

“that’s right. I actually died once too. I didn’t die from her.”

“Are you saying that you died once and then came back to life?”

“uh.”

“If that is true, why are you telling me? If resurrection is an ability that exists, then it must be a power comparable to that of a god.”

“What would I hide that I, who rivals God, am afraid of?”

Gyro made an expression that he had been beaten.

“Hot hot hot! That’s right too. If you can be resurrected, what are you afraid of?”

It was hilarious, but Zyro’s heart was the exact opposite.

It was confusing.

Keter really doesn’t lie. It is said that he was killed by Lillian and was resurrected to take revenge.

Gyro had always trusted Keter no matter what he said, but this time it was really hard to believe.

“Now it is my turn. Do you think you can kill Lillian with that magic sword?”

“I never said I would kill Lillian.”

Gyro, knowing that Keter’s main specialty is scooping, said firmly.

“Don’t make a face that says you need to hear the story first. It sucks even if you don’t listen. One day, you came to know the truth about this country, and after sharing it with someone you trust, your family was shattered, and only you survived. I wanted to take revenge, but your strength was lacking, so I ended up relying on the magic sword. no?”

“… You extrapolate my life too easily.”

“As the president, I will give you good information. A demonic sword cannot even kill a monarch.”

“You are sure. You must have seen other magic swordsmen besides me. One, was the demonic sword the boss saw an awakened demonic sword?”

“huh? What is Awakening?”

Gyro looked intently at Keter.

Tell the truth what you know, and say you don’t know what you don’t know. Is there anyone else like this in the world?

Awakening of the Magic Sword. This is rare information that only a very small minority of those who know about the existence of the demonic sword know.

Gyro also scoured the world to get this information, and barely found it after overcoming numerous death threats.

Gyro was confident that if he converted this information into money, he could easily receive 10 million gold.

“How much do you know about the magic sword, boss?”

Gyro released his information.

It wasn’t a purposeless favor, it was because Keter would know the clue to awakening.

Keter held out her right arm in lieu of answering. His tattoo became a pitch-black bow in the blink of an eye.

Magung Amaranth.

Gyro’s eyes widened even more.

“Demon sword… No, since it’s a bow, it must be a magic palace. This is the first time I’ve seen a bow-shaped cursed weapon.”

Keter, who had reverse summoned Amaranth, shrugged.

“Even though he’s the owner of the demon palace, I don’t really care, so I know very little.”

“Let me tell you. The identities of the cursed weapons and their true power.”

Cursed weapons erode people’s minds just by mentioning them. The more detailed the explanation, the stronger it is.

But now there was no problem.

Since Lillian’s story had already begun, Keter had opened the Mana Barrier. There was no way the conversation would leak out, so Gyro casually brought up the cursed weapon.

“You said that a demonic sword could not even kill a monarch. I admit it too. However, that is the case when the restrictions imposed by the demon sword were not lifted.”
