- Episode 23
Thinking that he might become a new family member, he crossed several mountains with excitement. He was so surprised that Kon suddenly disappeared in the process, and if it hadn't been for the people of Bernie's village who helped him, he might have been crying incessantly while groping in the dark forest.
Thinking about the way back, it was difficult, but Lydia took a deep breath and made up her mind. It was a marriage decided by her parents' generation, but she had no intention of forcing her to get married because she didn't like her partner.
"When I get back, I'll have to tell my mother well. You'll be shocked for nothing."
It was difficult to be misunderstood that he was rejected because of his eyes. To her Lydia's feelings, Parker didn't even notice that she was blind. He just didn't want to get married. He was still twenty-one, he said, a man who went out to the city and worked for a long time and returned to his hometown on vacation. He even invited his co-workers to this vacation. If he was that passionate about his work, he would have turned down any opponent.
"Con, go to bed now."
"I thought well. Let's go in."
As soon as he was told to go in, Kon swung his tail in anticipation. Lydia's body was weak and she fell ill quickly when exposed to cold wind for a long time. She said this time she had been outside for too long because she had deepened her thoughts about breaking up. Conn was excited and jumped up first, and Lydia was about to get up.
My feet got caught in the hem of a long skirt twisted by the strong wind.
"......!"
"Lydia!"
I was so shocked that I didn't even scream. Lydia, who stumbled on her foot, slipped down the cliff in an instant. Her Khon tried to grab her, but it happened so momentarily that her reaction was delayed.
hee hee hee!
Korn hurriedly descended following Lydia, who had fallen off the cliff. Fortunately, there was a bulge in the middle between the rocky cliffs before going down the mountain completely. It was a small stepping stone that could barely support one person. Lydia fell on that very wide rock, and although she did not lose her life, she was seriously injured.
The pain was unbearable because of the broken leg. Lydia, who was about to stand up on her floor, curled up and trembled like a bird struck by lightning when she felt a burning pain in her ankle. Clear tears welled up over the unfocused green eyes.
The rock was so narrow that the cone could not descend on it and only wandered nearby.
"Oh my God. What do we do."
"Con... it hurts..."
"Lydia, are you okay? Are you on your mind?"
Lydia, who barely woke up after hearing the unicorn's noise, cried with a painful face. Hearing her muffled voice, her Kon, helplessly approaching her, saw her lump of stone crumbling, and she backed away in awe.
There were cracks here and there on the rock where Lydia fell. Suddenly, a person fell and started to crack. In front of a rock that was never going to collapse and Lydia, who was injured, Kon circled around in front of them.
"Can you hang on my back? Come on, Lydia."
She tried to get as close as she could, but Lydia trembled and couldn't stand up at all. Her broken leg was also a leg, but the shock of her fall didn't put any strength in her body. Luckily she didn't hit her head.
When Korn realized that Lydia was unable to ride on his back, his eyes went dark.
"Help... Help me. Someone please take a look here!"
hee hee hee! purr!
Conn began to scream constantly. The roar of horses resounded over the empty night sky. However, the sound could not reach properly because the village of Vernis had their residences scattered all over the rocky mountain. He couldn't leave Lydia as it is and leave to ask for help, nor could he save Lydia directly. As long as Lydia couldn't get on Kon's back directly, it would be over if it ripped while biting the hem of his clothes.
All Kon could do was cry out loud. Even the black eyes of the young unicorn, realizing her own helplessness, began to bite.
"Help! Lydia is very hurt! I might die if I leave it like this! Somebody."
No matter how loud I shouted, it was no use. Conn wept together as he saw Lydia in pain.
"please......."
"Con? Are you there?"
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard from above the cliff. Lydia and Kon raised their heads at the same time. There was a young man with darker hair than him in the dark night sky. It was black without a single spot, so it felt more clearly visible in the dark. Kon called out his name eagerly as if he were holding on to a rope.
"Estio."
"Creung!"
I called Estio, and what appeared was a huge black tiger. A huge tiger jumped off the cliff and her eyes lit up at Lydia. Aside from the prediction that the rock would break if its gigantic body fell, Kon swallowed his breath as the tiger's attack was so intimidating.
But Korn did not go out of his way to protect Lydia. Because he found Estio riding on a tiger's back.
In an instant, the black tiger, who slipped over the cliff, ran to the rock where Lydia was lying. Lydia, startled by the sound of a tiger's throat near her, trembled at her, and someone wrapped a hand around her waist.
"Ouch!"
"Are you okay?"
Lydia, who had been screaming involuntarily, blinked blankly. She couldn't see anything in her blind eyes, but she could feel the fact that someone was holding her so she wouldn't hurt her.
"Go, thank you."
As soon as she knew who she was, but knew she had helped, Lydia began to thank her. The huge black tiger with two people on its back jumped up the cliff in an instant.
"It was Tsuki who helped me, not me."
"Yes?"
Instead of Lydia, who was bewildered not knowing what to say, Estio thanked Tsuki.
"Thank you, Tsuki."
"Creung."
Lydia trembled again when she heard the sound of a ferocious tiger below.
Estio sat Lydia on the chosen lawn. In the process, her broken leg groaned, so Lydia groaned a little.
"Where were you hurt?"
"All right, my legs don't move."
"...It would be impossible to ride a horse alone."
Estio glanced at her condition and let out a short sigh.
"Is your arm okay?"
Although her whole body was throbbing, Lydia nodded because it was easy to move her arms.
"I'm sorry, but I think I'll have to hug you one more time. Are you okay?"
"Ah...! If yes... please."
He couldn't get on his back because he hurt his leg, so Lydia hugged him like a child.
'The smell of the outside world.'
Estio did not have the characteristic acid smell of the Join tribe. There was only one person who could guess in Lydia's head due to the habit of joining people who do not take in outsiders well.
"Are you sure that… are you Parker-sama's colleague?"
"Yes."
Estio didn't ask why he asked such a question. Lydia, who heard the clear, falling answer, asked again, blankly.
"If you're not a joiner, you wouldn't know geography well. How did you find this place?"
"I heard an urgent call for help."
"Help? Who..."
Estio also gave a short answer this time.
"Con."
When she heard Khon's name, Lydia also remembered the cry of a young unicorn when she fell off a cliff a while ago. If you listen closely, you can hear footsteps coming from right next to you.
Then the surprise disappeared and a sense of relief filled the place.
"Con, Kon. Hump, huh."
"Why is that, Lydia? are you sick? Does it hurt a lot?"
Kon, who was walking gloomy right next to him, was startled when he heard the sound of crying. The torn hem of his clothes and the bloodstains from between them looked like he was seriously injured.
But Lydia wasn't crying because she was sick. Estio, who read the fact that she was very emotionally dependent on Chunma, whom she grew up with from her childhood, moved her steps silently, pretending not to know.
Estio, who doesn't know the geography of Bernie's village, brings Lydia to Parker's house.
Upon seeing Lydia, who appeared severely injured, Parker's family was terrified and caused a commotion.
At the same time, Parker's mother had learned to heal, so he was able to inspect the wounds right away. Inside the house, there were herbal decoctions in clear water, ice to remove swelling, a clean sterilized cloth, and a splint for a broken leg, so the treatment was quick.
"Fortunately, the other wounds don't seem to be too big. Just pay attention to your right leg."
"Thank you so much for your help."
There were no cuts large enough to require stitching or scarring. It was fortunate, except that he could not walk properly for the time being due to a broken right leg and had to stay longer in Bernie's village.
Parker's parents felt very sorry for her that they had brought a woman from Cornell Village, who was having a wedding with their son, and made her go through something horrific. In particular, Parker believed the accident was her fault, and she felt very guilty.
'Ah, rejection is rejection! First of all, you are the one who came all the way here because of me. During my stay, I should have kept my eyes open and looked after them properly.'
It didn't take long for Parker to realize that it was very childish and cowardly to do what he was afraid to do because he was embarrassed to face Lydia, who had come from the neighboring village. When she even heard from her parents that her Lydia had her congenital blindness, she was almost frustrated with her head pounded on the floor.
"Lydia-sama, I'm so sorry for the terrible things you've been through!"
Then he ran with that momentum and apologized. Lydia had a sinful face just like Lydia.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble by wandering around. I'm so grateful to all of you, Vernis, for taking care of me like this."
"If there is anything you need, please call me anytime. I will do my best to help."
"No. I'll take care of it, so don't worry too much about it."
"No. Feel free to tell me."
Ahur, who had been resting comfortably by the window during this uproar, muttered so as not to be heard by the two of them, stirring branches.
「Ugh, that almost looks like both of them are troopers……」
When two polite people met, it was as if they were fighting over who was more apologetic.
"Ah, there."
Lydia, who was burdened by Parker's aggressive will to defend, suddenly looked around and spoke up.
"That ......, what is your respect for the benefactor?"
