138 - I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke
Blinded Duke, Engaged 138
Is the Monster sleeping because it listened to the fairy tale she just read? Is that even possible?
She quietly watched BaniBani with eyes full of surprise and anticipation.
She thought it had only evolved into a human sleeping pill, but has it been upgraded to a Monster sleeping pill?
When she stopped reading the fairy tale because she was staring at BaniBani, BaniBani opened its eyes wide again and stared at her intently.
"Just keep sleeping. Please."
BaniBani tilted its head, eyes wide open as if it was fully awake.
Marin had no choice but to lower her gaze and start reading the fairy tale again.
Sleep. Sleep. Keep sleeping.
As she read, she glanced at BaniBani, and she could see its eyelids closing little by little again.
Marin read the fairy tale a little more and then stopped for a moment.
Then BaniBani opened its eyes wide.
"Haa... Does this have a sleeping pill effect, or not?"
Marin sighed deeply and just kept repeating the same content without stopping.
Since she started this to wake herself up, she was going to see whether that Monster or she would win until the sun rose.
The sun rose.
She was already thirsty because she couldn't drink water, but her throat felt like it was burning because she kept reading the fairy tale.
Water. I want to drink water.
Marin glanced at BaniBani, who was sleeping soundly.
She won.
BaniBani hadn't woken up for quite a while.
Actually, she was confused as to whether BaniBani fell asleep because she read the fairy tale, or whether it just fell asleep because it was night.
One thing was certain: she hadn't slept a wink, and that Monster was sleeping soundly.
Marin carefully got up from her seat, looking exhausted.
Now was the time to run away from BaniBani.
She leaned her back against the rock and moved silently like a cat, watching the sleeping BaniBani.
BaniBani was sleeping quietly even while she went halfway around the rock.
Freedom!
Marin lifted her skirt high and ran forward quickly.
Let's never meet again! Bunny!
She walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go.
The scorching sun felt hotter and hotter.
Marin tried to swallow, but her mouth was so dry that no saliva came out.
If there was a cactus, she would cut it and drink it.
Beebeebeek.
At that moment, a creepy sound came from beside her.
Marin quickly stepped back and glared at the Monster approaching her.
The creature, which raised its poisonous red tail and approached, digging through the sand with its large pincers, was a Monster resembling a scorpion, Skoll.
Her legs trembled involuntarily as the human-sized Skoll approached.
Marin took a deep breath and took out her Triple Staff to prepare for an attack.
Can she beat this Monster?
Sweatdrops on her forehead dripped to the floor.
Marin, who was extremely nervous, tried her best to recall the teachings of her teacher and Elmis.
She put strength in her lower body and prepared for Skoll's attack.
Just as Skoll, who had approached her, was about to grab her with its large pincers, white fur suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
"Krrr!"
It was BaniBani.
She didn't know if it was the same one she had been with all night or a different one, but BaniBani stood as if blocking her path.
Beebeebeek!
"Krrr!"
The two Monsters glared at each other fiercely for a moment, then a fight broke out.
BaniBani's rabbit teeth, which were full of anger, gradually grew longer and went down to its upper body.
BaniBani, who jumped up, climbed onto Skoll and stabbed Skoll's body with its teeth.
Skoll also did not give in and stabbed BaniBani's body here and there with its sharp, spear-like tail.
Marin, who was pushed to one side by the fierce fight between the two Monsters, walked away, faltering.
Did BaniBani just help her?
Or is it angry because she ran away?
The thrilling fight between the two Monsters ended quickly.
BaniBani's victory.
Suddenly, something she had seen in a book came to mind.
BaniBani looked cute, but it was said to be quite a high-ranking predator among the Desert monster.
Could she beat that powerful muscle bunny?
BaniBani tore Skoll into pieces and ate it.
Marin's body froze in fear.
She stood there and looked at BaniBani with anxious eyes.
Am I next?
At that moment, BaniBani turned its head sharply towards her.
Marin was startled when her eyes met BaniBani's.
It seemed like BaniBani was looking at her with resentful eyes, as if asking why she had left it behind and ran away.
"It's not that I ran away, it's just that you were sleeping so soundly..."
Marin mumbled excuses and then stopped, feeling absurd.
BaniBani turned its head away again and focused on its meal.
It sure eats well.
Just as she was about to take a step while watching BaniBani, in order to escape safely this time, BaniBani looked back at her again.
"Why? What?"
BaniBani chewed diligently and stared at her movements as if monitoring her.
"Hey, is it only delicious when you eat it? I'm hungry too. I'm thirsty."
Marin was now openly trying to talk to the Monster.
BaniBani kept twitching its ears at her words, but it didn't stop eating.
"Okay, okay. Eat a lot."
Marin plopped down on the sandy floor. It seemed like that creature would follow her again even if she ran away.
She blankly watched BaniBani's meal and swallowed hard.
She was ashamed of herself for drooling while watching a bunny eat lobster(?).
Marin regained her strength and stood up again.
She should look for a cactus.
Then BaniBani narrowed its eyes again and followed her movements with its eyes.
Only after seeing the eyes full of determination that it wouldn't let her get away if she ran away did Marin realize.
She was BaniBani's emergency food. Or a lunch box.
In other words, it didn't intend to eat her right away, but kept her alive to eat when it was hungry.
Marin swallowed tears inside and said confidently to BaniBani.
"I clearly said I don't taste good. And I'm getting even less tasty because I'm thirsty right now. Water. I want to drink water. Is there an oasis in the deep desert or something!"
Marin shouted and pretended to drink water.
BaniBani twitched its ears and suddenly hopped away while chewing.
It was in the opposite direction from where she was standing.
Marin stared blankly at BaniBani's back.
BaniBani looked back at her as if telling her to follow.
"Are you telling me to follow you?"
BaniBani ignored her words and hopped forward.
Marin conflicted with a serious expression.
If she ran away in the opposite direction now, that creature would come looking for her again, right?
She didn't know the way, so let's follow it for now.
Thus began Marin and BaniBani's dangerous journey together.
BaniBani hopped ahead, and Marin trudged along behind.
Is this okay? Even if she has become a bunny's mobile lunch box(?), shouldn't she try to escape?
Her worries were deepening.
BaniBani's round butt, hopping along, looked exactly like the bunny she used to raise. Although all bunny butts are round.
[Where Did Monsters Come From]
The words of the historian Count Blusher, who called the theory of evolution nonsense in that book, were wrong.
According to the original story, Monsters did evolve to suit their environment.
No one knows when the evolution of Monsters began.
However, Monsters evolved to suit their ecological environment and clashed with humans.
Why? Because humans were trying to kill the Monsters.
Humans and Monsters are fighting each other for survival.
Was that BaniBani an ordinary bunny before?
She walked, stepping on the sinking sand, having useless thoughts on her own.
BaniBani went ahead for a while, then stopped and waited when she was late.
The sunlight was shining so strongly that she couldn't open her eyes properly.
Marin could barely see ahead only after making a shadow with her hand.
It can just go alone. Does it like having a lunch box that much?
BaniBani tapped the sand with one foot as if complaining about why she was so slow.
Look at that arrogant posture.
She will never dream of a bunny-like husband again. A wolf is better than a bunny after all.
A Duke-like, reliable, and seductive wolf is better.
I miss you, Lord Gerald.
Tears were about to well up when she thought of the Duke, but BaniBani snorted.
That annoying bunny. It doesn't give her a chance to fall into sentimentality.
BaniBani hopped forward again.
Marin gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the back of BaniBani's head as she followed behind.
