My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

Rappella City

“You have worked hard all this time. Here is the balance.”

“ha ha ha. What. We’re going to be in this city for a while, so if you have anything else to do, feel free to call me.”

I bid farewell to the mercenaries who escorted me all the way to Rappella.

With the mercenaries we hired this time, we were able to reach the city without any major problems.

“This is Rappella. It’s huge.”

Diana took Aaron’s hand and looked around the city in admiration.

It cannot be compared with the city of Ajantu, and it was the largest city among the cities that have passed.

“It is probably because it is close to the capital. Talaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Talia, is a few days away from here.”

No matter how small the kingdom of Thalia on the outskirts, it is a different dimension in terms of scale when it comes to the capital.

Neighboring cities were also not affected.

“I’m worried about how to find my uncle here…”

Diana sighed and said worriedly.

Seeing her worrying about nothing, I shrugged lightly.

“I know your name and you know what you do, so what are you worried about? It won’t take long.”

I also ate some jjambap at the Auterica level.

Gathering that kind of information was nothing.

So I stayed in the city for 3 days.

It took the time it took to find an informant and locate Diana’s uncle.

“…you found it really quickly.”

“Well, there’s nothing you can’t do if you have enough money. There’s nothing in a hurry, so I would have been able to do it sooner if I had time to spare.”

On the first day, after disposing of the carriage, I found a dorm and rested with the children, and on the second day, I found an information dealer and submitted a request.

And today, the third day, I received the information.

“Your uncle says he runs a grocery store in the business district of South Street. There doesn’t seem to be any major problems.”

“I’m glad I didn’t go in vain.”

On the way to the grocery store.

Diana was constantly taking deep breaths, clearing her mind.

“Why? I think he was very nervous.”

“…I guess I first met him when I was very young. Do you remember me?”

Seeing her worried, I smiled and gently stroked her hair.

“You worry about everything. Years go by quickly for adults. Rather, you will be surprised and welcomed by when you grew up like this.”

Diana looking at me as I stroked my hair like that.

Bewildered, I coughed and took my hands off his head.

She smiled bashfully and fiddled with her hair.

“After all, uncle is uncle. I was worried because my personality seems to have changed a lot recently.”

“… your personality has changed? I?”

“yes. The way you talk has also changed. Something serious and calm? Well, that’s cool, though.”

Diana smiled lightly, sticking out her tongue.

.

It was clear when that changed.

Is it the influence of “persona”? In the meantime, it has changed naturally and I was not conscious of it.’

Acrich Hans was given negative emotions such as loneliness and pain, as well as a desire to be recognized, namely, a servant.

However, the vampire Heinz II seemed to have been given a cool and calm personality.

‘Is it naturally expressed according to the characteristics of the individual…? It wouldn’t be a bad thing.’

Because if you want, you can control it as much as you want.

It was comfortable to let it go naturally, so I just didn’t have to touch it.

After talking and walking like that for a while, we finally arrived at our destination.

An ordinary grocery store with nothing special about it.

“Come here. Is there anything you are looking for?

As I approached with the children, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the owner came out from the inside and shouted brightly.

“Come on, Daddy! hello! That’s Diana. This is my brother Aaron…”

“Hello…”

Diana took Aaron’s hand and stepped forward to greet him.

Aaron crouched and nodded.

It’s been over 5 years since we last met, so to a young Aaron, it’s like seeing an adult for the first time.

“Ugh? Diana? Aaron? You’ve grown so much while I haven’t seen you! But how did you guys get here…”

I explained the circumstances of the past to the bewildered shopkeeper, Bolt.

Without talking about vampires, the parents of the brothers and sisters died in Ajantu, and the two of them had a hard time living together until they met me.

And the fact that I came to this place with children with nowhere to go.

“…awesome. That’s right. My brother and my brother-in-law… You must have suffered a lot Good job. great job···.”

When he heard about it, he wept and then hugged the brothers and sisters who were standing still.

“Oh, no. We’re fine, we’re fine… Black!”

“No, sister…don’t cry…”

Tears welled up in the eyes of the children, who had been stiff for a moment in the warm embrace, and then embraced him and wept loudly.

‘I’m glad that you still seem like a good person.’

Among the information we found out about him through informational sources was his reputation.

Because you can’t leave your children to the wicked.

If that was the case, I was going to tell Diana that I couldn’t find him and take other measures…

‘Now I can just apply a little oil.’

Surprised by the noise outside, he explained to his wife what was going on and went inside.

Immediately after entering the living space attached to the back of the store, I met a three or four-year-old kid sitting on the floor and playing with dolls.

“···Cool.”

A little girl looking at us with bright eyes while breathing in her nose.

Perhaps startled by the sudden visitor, the child woke up with a shuddering gunshot and buried his face in the width of his wife’s skirt.

Then he gently tilted his head and observed this side carefully.

Two small eyes twinkled as if they were interested in the siblings who didn’t seem to have much age difference.

“Gosh···. I wish these little ones had suffered a lot during this time…”

The wife, who skillfully held her daughter and patted her, looked at the siblings as if she was sorry, and disappeared inside with the children, saying that she would wash their faces that had been messed up by crying.

“It must not have been easy to come here with the children. Thank you for caring so far.”

When it was only the two of them left, Bolt bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.

“no. The children helped me a lot, and it was fun to travel together.”

But it didn’t take long to talk like that.

Because he also had to take care of his livelihood.

“Is the owner here?”

“Yes, yes! Come on!”

When he heard the buzz outside, Bolt rushed out to serve the guests.

I was planning on staying in the city for a few more days anyway, so I decided to come back later and parted from them.

***

“Hey, you can’t get such a large amount of money. Still, the children have been indebted to a lot…”

The next day, I spoke to Bolt separately.

To provide financial support for raising children.

“no. As I said before, I also received help from those children in many ways. There is no such thing as too much of a burden. I hope this will help you take care of the children.”

It was a lot of money for ordinary people, but to me, who devoured the people who monopolized the wealth of the city, it was just new blood.

‘I got it with Diana’s help, so that’s enough. I’m sorry that I couldn’t take care of you more here, but wealth that can’t be protected is rather dangerous.’

He hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly accepted the money bag.

Although he refused once, it must have been a burden to have two more mouths to feed.

“I have been very close with the children during this time. We will be visiting from time to time.”

And he hinted that he would support each time.

Instead, they demanded that children actively support the learning they wanted.

“Of course not! I will cherish my children as if they were my own without discrimination.”

I don’t know if there really will be discrimination, but this is a subsidy to prevent it in the first place.

As long as they said they would continue to support them in the future, they wouldn’t be rude even if they showed interest.

So I stayed in Rappella for a week.

I was saying goodbye to my siblings.

“Ah… Uncle. Well, thank you so much for that. Suck! Me, I really…”

“Uh-huh, uncle!”

Diana, who struggles to contain her tears, and Aaron, who is embraced by a loud wailing.

After being together for nearly two months, and seeing so much affection, my nose twitched too.

“Well, it’s not that I can’t see you forever, so don’t listen to me often. In the meantime, should I listen to Mr. Bolt and stay healthy?”

Diana is starting to learn to work in the store, and Aaron is taking care of her four-year-old cousin.

I hugged the two children and patted them.

“How often, how often?”

“yes?”

“You hear it often. How often will you come?”

Uh, I didn’t think of that.

Diana’s straight-forward question put her thoughts together for a moment.

“Hmm… even if I can’t, I’ll make sure to come at least once a year.”

“…a year. I can’t help it. If you think he won’t be able to come, don’t overdo it. Please drop by once when you can afford it.”

Diana smiles with tears in her eyes as if she doesn’t want to burden me.

There was nothing difficult with Bae Seon-jin, but his heart was so unique that he stroked his hair.

After saying goodbye like that, he took a step that did not fall off, turned around and waved to the brothers and sisters.

The children kept waving their hands to see me off until they completely disappeared from view.

‘Something stings. I really want them to do well. I’ll take care of it often.’

They were affectionate children in many ways.

It was also the first relationship I made in Auterica.

‘Then shall we go to the capital first?’

I didn’t have much money on hand, but I didn’t have much money on hand to hand over the money to Bolt and give Diana a big emergency fund…

Heinz did not need any money to travel alone.

I left the city and walked recklessly until the sun went down.

As time passed, darkness fell all around.

Get food!

A group of bats crossed the night sky.

***

At dawn, after traveling all night, I was able to reach Talaria, which would take several days on horseback.

“This is the capital of the Kingdom of Thalia… Can you come in?”

Until now, I was able to hide my identity somehow, but it must be difficult to pass through the capital.

‘Should I call Heinrich at this point?’

It was for Heinrich that he had to come all the way to the capital.

This is because he was very impressed with the paladins he met as Hans a while ago.

A force that wields a sacred sword, an honor respected by all in the sun.

Gathering information from the city, he also investigated the denominations further.

After considering so many things, I came to the conclusion that there was a sufficient possibility and came here to enlist Heinrich.

Because in the capital, Talaria, there was a temple of the Shinto Order.

So, looking at the capital from the hillside—.

That moment.

“Hmmm…. You, what are you doing?”

Suddenly, I heard a woman’s voice that made me goosebumps.

‘I didn’t feel any sign…!’

He looked back and widened the distance, but the other party was still looking at his fingertips.

Fingertips dripping with blood.

fit—

At that moment, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck.

I quickly controlled the blood to stop the bleeding and raised my vigilance.

‘sh*t···. I thought things would turn out well.’

She glanced at the blood on her fingertips and slowly brought it to her lips and licked it.

“After all… he must have inherited the blood of our clan.”

A beautiful woman in her early 20s with her bright blonde hair up to reveal a pure white neck, and a gorgeous red dress and parasol.

Its true identity is probably a vampire of the Brokoslac clan’s true blood.

“I smelled blood and wondered if I could. Did you prey on your own species? A member of the same clan?”

He felt his body harden when he met his blood-red eyes.

“How was that possible? Identify who your direct blood relatives were. It seems that the blood to be inherited is not properly constrained.”

Her red eyes shone strangely and tightened her limbs.

Trying to open your mouth regardless of your will.

“Anyway, since you broke the clan’s law, I will punish you and your immediate blood relatives. . . . if he were alive.”

‘···Right. Is this the magic eye?’

The eyes glowing red with blood magic force their actions.

I wouldn’t be able to resist at any level.

“At your level, resistance is useless. Just open your mouth.”

Of course, that doesn’t apply to me.

‘hahaha… This seems to repeat the same pattern every time. how many times I’ll have to quickly build up my strength.’

Whenever I think I’ve gotten stronger, more powerful people keep popping up.

As long as we don’t stand at the pinnacle of this world, it will repeat itself over and over again.

It was unavoidable for now.

“…it lasts quite a while. But if yes…”

I ignored the vampires who were talking in front of me and decided to cancel the summons, an all-purpose escape tool.

It didn’t matter because the purpose was achieved anyway, but I couldn’t help but get a little annoyed.

‘Tut, see you next time.’

It probably won’t take that long.
