Trash of the Count's Family

“…How tiring.”

Cale patted his shoulder with his hand.

Harris Village.

Cale had traveled to Harris Village. He had left on his own without telling anybody, so there might be chaos at the Lord’s Castle right about now…

“It’s all fake. So, it doesn’t matter.”

‘Doesn’t matter.’

‘It is fake. It is not real.’

Cale repeated those phrases to himself as he looked in front of him.

He could see a tall stone wall in front of him.

This stone wall was created to separate the Forest of Darkness and Harris Village, as well as to protect the Henituse territory from the mutant monsters of the Forest of Darkness.

If.

If Raon was here right now.

‘Human, human! Are we going to our house? Are we going to see everyone? I want to see them all!’

Cale started to frown.

“I should buy him an apple pie.”

Cale thought about things he would do after finishing the test as he stood in front of the castle wall.

Crackle.

Cale quietly observed the small rose gold thunderbolt on top of his palm.

“…How odd.”

The cheapskate.

The rose gold light of the Fire of Destruction was definitely on Cale's palm, however, he could not hear the cheapskate’s voice no matter how hard he tried.

This was the same for the Indestructible Shield, the Scary Giant Cobblestone, and the Sound of the Wind.

None of them were responding to Cale.

Cale lifted his head up.

Swoooooosh- Swooooooosh-

Wind gathered at the tips of his feet.

His body soon shot up into the air. He could see the lush forest once he flew up to the top of the stone wall.

The Forest of Darkness.

Cale let out a sigh as soon as he saw the green forest.

“This place is the same.”

Cale could see the Forest of Darkness that was almost exactly like the one in his memories.

His body quickly started to move.

He was moving toward the cave entrance.

He got rid of the Sound of the Wind once he got there and slowly started to walk into the cave.

The book was still in his hand.

Cale started to speak.

“…The first place the White Star personally appeared during the final battle was the Henituse territory, and then, and then-”

“Shit.”

Cale couldn’t help but cuss.

He opened the book.

He could not remember the contents.

He made a guess and turned to a page.

< The White Star started in the Henituse territory as they invaded the Roan Kingdom and the entire Western continent’s northeast region. There were many casualties during this time, and numerous heroes lost their lives as well. >

Cale's former team leader Lee Soo Hyuk’s voice popped up in his mind.

‘Hey, rookie. How come you can remember anything you want to remember after seeing it once, but never remember anything you don't want to remember as if you have amnesia?’

Cale walked through the cave path that was lit up by a magic light as he looked through the book.

He could not read this book well.

He could not remember the contents of this book very well.

Rustle.

A page crumpled again. Cale was starting to get angry.

“That crazy thief.”

‘How can she make a test like this?’

Cale's gaze calmed down a bit.

Tap. Tap.

Only his footsteps could be heard in this cave.

His footsteps slowed down as he continued to walk.

He had run from the Lord’s Castle to the Forest of Darkness and even to this cave entrance faster than anybody else.

However, when heading to the place that should be at the end of this cave… Cale's footsteps heading toward the Super Rock Villa continued to slow down.

He kept thinking about what would be waiting for him there.

Of course, Cale knew he needed to go.

He knew he needed to finish this test as soon as possible.

He knew that there were people waiting for him in the real world.

“…But still.”

Cale stopped walking.

His voice was calm.

“I can’t be like this.”

Cale clenched his fists. His face did not have any emotions on it. He slammed down with a closed fist.

Pow!

Cale slammed down on his thighs and legs that had stopped moving.

He then continued to talk to himself.

“I can’t be like this.”

He was slowing down.

He was slowing down when every moment was pressing. He was slowing down when there was a mountain load of things to do. How could he stop here?

This was not something that Cale Henituse, no, Kim Rok Soo should be doing.

Pow, pow!

He continued to slam down on his tired thighs that did not want to keep walking. However, his expression remained stoic.

‘Kim Rok Soo, I…I.’

He heard his former team leader Lee Soo Hyuk’s voice in his mind.

It was something he remembered even though he hated it.

‘Will you shut your trap?’

‘Shut what? Well, looks like I’ll be shutting up for all eternity in a moment.’

‘…Please don't speak nonsense either.’

‘I’ll say what I want to say. Kim Rok Soo, hey Rok Soo.’

‘…What is it?’

‘I leave it to you. Got it?’
