The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong

chapter 21



21 – Sahyun’s viewpoint-2

knight? It wasn’t even funny. There’s no way the Queen would know such a man.

Even so, the reason he took Ari to the queen was because he was determined to separate from Ari.

To be precise, there was a very small probability that I wouldn’t be separated from Ari, so I was able to make up my mind not to interfere with Ari’s life anymore by pretending to rely on that small probability.

It was something I had to do someday.

I took Ari’s hand and came out to the square. I saw people in the plaza, who were usually noisy, gathered in one place.

I walked towards the huge building without paying attention.

A building that everyone who lives in the underworld dreams of entering at least once. After taking a deep breath at the entrance, a woman standing at the information desk approached.

“This is where the queen resides. What is a little boy like you doing here?”

“I have come to entrust to the Queen.”

A woman came out and looked over Ari. The gaze that was looking at me passed quickly, but Ari looked at it for quite a long time.

“I’ll give you a look at the queen.”

The woman who returned to the desk muttered a few times.

“all right.”

The woman soon returned. Looking at his face, it didn’t look like he would chase it away.

“The Queen wants to see you.”

I followed the woman into the elevator. It went up for quite a while, but honestly, I didn’t think anything of it. In a little while, you’ll be separated from Ari. Degree? For no reason, the right hand that was holding Ari’s hand went into strength.

The elevator stopped and the room we arrived at was very dark.

In a space without any light, I felt that only the queen was shining.

“Queen, I have brought the children.”

“Okay, leave the kids and go to work.”

The queen got up from her seat and came to us. My body shrank involuntarily at the cool eyes.

“Certainly, if you have a talent awakened at that age, it’s enough to come under me.”

The queen’s gaze turned to me.

“But you’re not asking me to accept you, are you?”

I swallowed dry saliva. My mouth went dry in an atmosphere where I felt like I would die if I didn’t speak well.

“A…. A knight asked me to take Ari with me.”

“Hmm, knight.”

The atmosphere, which had been so cold as if my throat would fly off at any moment, was relieved in an instant.

`What? Did you really know each other?`

He seemed like a normal person, but to be acquainted with the Queen… .

“If it’s his request, I’ll have to listen. Both of you, don’t get under me.”

Just as I was about to relax, I heard a knock outside the door.

“It’s yeji.”

“Yes, come in.”

It was Yeji, the captain of the Queen’s bodyguard. The two of them seemed to be talking about something important, but I was nervous and didn’t hear anything.

“Yes, the knight said to send it?”

The queen asked if the conversation between the two of them was over when they were halfway trembling.

The queen’s eyes were on Ari, not me, but Ari was more frightened than me, so I answered instead.

“Yes, they said that if you tell the queen that, she will understand.”

“Can I leave the training to you?”

“Yes, my queen, I will raise you to be an excellent agent.”

“Oh, and listen for a second.”

The Queen whispered to Yeji.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, but seeing as you’re sitting in a chair with a fresh expression on your face, it’s definitely not a bad thing.

We followed Yeji-nim to a room that looked like a training room. It was a good place with a fairly large room and a mat that was moderately soft but had some firmness.

“Girl, what’s your name?”

“This is Ari.”

“I didn’t ask you.”

When I answered instead, Yeji-nim glared at me with cold eyes.

“I’ll ask. What’s your name?”

“Um…. It’s Ari.”

“What’s the name of the guy over there?”

“ㅅ…. Sahyun is my older brother.”

From then on, something felt strong.

“Your job is to take care of Ari.”

During Ari’s hour of training, I stood there with nothing but a towel.

It was a training that seemed tough just by looking at it, but Ari managed to follow it well.

“You have more qualities than I thought.”

After training hard for an hour, Ari was sweating profusely.

“What are you doing? Have you forgotten the reason for your existence?”

“sorry!”

I picked up a towel and wiped Ari’s sweat. No matter how hard the child trained, his body was drenched in sweat. One of the towels was quickly soaked with Ari’s sweat.

I didn’t think it was dirty. Rather, seeing my younger brother train so hard, I felt more proud.

“I can wipe it…”

Ari looked at me with an apologetic expression.

“It’s okay. I should do something like this.”

The training went on for quite some time. It wasn’t until about 7 o’clock that it was finally over, but Ari went to eat with Yeji and I was given a small piece of bread.

How much trouble you had to separate from Ari, who insisted on going with you.

The bread I ate after a long time was really delicious. The size of the bread wasn’t that big, but I, who ate less in the first place, was able to solve one meal with this amount.

I was in a daze in the training room, so around 8:00, Yeji and Ari came back.

Afterwards, we continued training until 10:00, but Yeji said she had work at around 9:00 and told Ari to train alone, then left the training room.

“hahahaha,”

It’s only been a day of training today, but Ari’s appearance has changed considerably.

It was because I was weak, but I felt like I was going to fight really well. If you think about Yeji-nim’s words that you have talent, you will become stronger day by day.

At that time, even if I attacked, I would be incredibly easily overpowered.

Thinking that way made me feel depressed.

“Me, brother.”

“Huh? Would you like me to wipe your sweat?”

As I approached Ari with a towel, Ari shook her head and expressed her disapproval.

“I can practice hitting skills and stances by myself, but I thought it would be better to practice catching skills with someone…”

“You want help?”

Ari nodded with an apologetic expression.

“Of course I’ll help you, there’s nothing to be sorry about. Oppa is always on your side.”

He gently stroked Ari’s hair.

The thought that I could burn my body for my younger brother was shattered in just three minutes.

“Aww!!!”

“Is your brother okay?”

“A… It’s okay!!”

why the hell did i do that? Ari’s technique hurt me more than I thought.

It was difficult to hold on as the joints were bent here and there and strong pressure was applied to the body.

“Aww!!”

But I couldn’t get sick. I didn’t want to see Ahri unable to focus on training because of me.

I barely managed to hold back the screams that almost came out several times.

“Is your brother okay?”

“A… It’s okay.”

Before Yeji-nim came back, my whole body ached from the two-hour training. My wrists and shoulder joints were so stiff as if they had been sprained, and red marks were left all over my body.

To be honest, it was hard to even wake up. If it wasn’t for the feeling that I didn’t want to burden Ari, I probably wouldn’t have been able to move.

Fortunately, I could barely move because of the power of my love for Ari.

“I’ll show you where to stay.”

The place Yeji moved to was a very nice room with a bunk bed, a closet, and a desk. There was a door in the room, so it seemed that there was also a bathroom.

“Get some rest and I’ll wake you up tomorrow morning.”

“I know.”

Ari answered bravely about how close he got to Yeji during the half-day.

“Brother! There’s even a bathroom! Let’s wash together!”

“No, Ari wash first.”

Rather than thinking that it would be embarrassing to wash with my brother, I refused because I thought Ari wouldn’t be worried about the red marks on my body.

Ari invited us to wash together a few more times, but I stubbornly refused, so we washed each other.

I checked my body in the bathroom and it looked pretty ugly. He was very skinny. It wasn’t for a day or two, so even so, the red marks all over his body were by no means normal.

Perhaps if Ari saw this, he would have cried and said he was sorry. I thought it was really fortunate to wash separately.

After taking a bath, I looked in the closet and saw that there were pajamas that fit Ari’s size, so I put them on.

I didn’t find anything that fit my size, so I just wore my usual clothes.

It was shabby and dusty, so washing it was meaningless.

“brother!!”

Ari hugged me and lay down on the bed. The bed was a bunk bed, but Ari seemed to have no intention of falling asleep.

He hugged me tightly and looked into my eyes. Ari was originally cute, but after washing and wearing nice clothes, she was as dainty and cute as a doll.

“I’ll be sure to protect you. I’ll feed you a lot of delicious things because you’ll become incredibly strong.”

“okay, thanks.”

He stroked Ari’s hair. I loved the feeling of the soft hair brushing my hand.

Obviously, until this morning, the child who had been protected by me said that he would protect me, and it was wonderful, but I felt that somewhere in my heart was empty.

Is it really right for me to be by Ari’s side?
