A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard - A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard chapter 32
032. Joy, anger, sadness
Too many things happen in the world.
And it’s full of things that even she couldn’t predict.
Sometimes she couldn’t keep her composure.
‘Like now.’
Selene’s eyes shake. She froze as she held the papers.
‘Vigilance shakes.’
Who else? Selene tried to cool her anger, feeling the veins of blood rising to her temples.
Since ancient times, when I was swayed by emotions, there was a feeling that work was insufficient. So she tried to control herself in order to think as rationally as possible.
‘Once… ‘
An unpleasant situation in which someone is about to break in, or may have invaded. Selene habitually switched her sights.
‘Endymion.’
Among misfortunes, fortunately. Tied to a chair, Endymion was sleeping soundly, and it seemed that he had not yet grasped the situation.
Selene got up from her seat, putting down the papers.
‘Take care before waking up.’
Then she goes to Endymion to receive a reward.
She may be a bit eccentric, but it wasn’t often that Selene could be asked for what she deserved.
What to ask of an intruder? If he beat the summary execution, that would be the end.
‘I endured a lot too.’
So, for one reason or another, I don’t want to be looked at. Selene didn’t let go like before, and she was determined to make sure the intruder was killed this time.
‘Why do you keep provoking me?’
Even though what Selene wants right now isn’t that big. She had always sought something simple.
Trapped inside the world she created, she seems preoccupied with research to find the truth. This was all she had hoped for before her.
In other words, it also meant that it was a little different now. This was a change that occurred when a man named Endymion appeared in her life.
‘You changed me.’
Selene, who had been running towards her ultimate goal all her life, was given another goal.
The newly changed Selene’s wish is to do research that does not know when or if it will end here, and she will be with Endymion for the rest of her life.
‘Ah… ‘
It was her heart-fluttering dream no matter how much she thought about it. Selene was more elated than she had been when she discovered a piece of truth she had never known.
Even though she could only imagine it. This meant that Selene’s heart toward him was just as great.
‘I’m curious again.’
I wondered if Endymion hadn’t broken in the middle of speeding up and went outside, and I wondered what it would be like to sleep.
So Selene couldn’t stand the bird and changed her vision again.
‘Sleep well… ‘
… Uh?
It was the second scene I watched. But it wasn’t too different from the first.
‘Come to think of it… ‘
Selene stopped for a moment on her way and carefully examined the condition of her Endymion. And when she realized something, Selene’s complexion turned pale.
‘I can’t breathe… ?’
A living thing should naturally breathe, but Endymion, who was sitting in a chair, showed no sign of that.
What does that mean? Selene, who knew the meaning, went white in his mind.
Tadak-
I hurriedly turned away. He didn’t even have time to walk up there. Immediately cast acceleration magic to increase speed.
‘No, please no…’ !’
I earnestly hoped and hoped.
Isn’t it too sudden!
‘Why… Why all of a sudden… !’
Since the guy who was breathing fine until now doesn’t even move, I feel anxious because I can’t ignore the possibility even if I’m just in case.
Selene was as if she couldn’t think of anything in the anxiety that she was driving herself to the edge of her precipice. How can I alleviate this anxiety? She thought that she would have to reach Endymion first.
And so we arrived in front of the door where he was. She had no time to worry about her knocking. Immediately opening the door, Selene hurriedly tried to shout his name.
“Eh, Endymi…”
… ?
Blinks both eyes. She rubbed her eyes to see if what she was seeing was wrong.
However, that did not change the fact that no one was sitting in the chair.
‘How did this happen… ‘
I thought most of my worries would be solved once I came here, but her head got more complicated. To grasp the context, she eagerly rolled her black pearly eyes.
And with her broken string, I could see the wide open window.
‘No way… ‘
Probably not, but Selene approaches her window and looks down hastily.
“…….”
There was a small hole in the ground that wasn’t there before. It looked like a person had fallen, as if it had been born a little while ago.
All sorts of inferences come and go in my head. And finally come to a conclusion.
‘Either the infiltrator took Endymion… ‘
This was highly unlikely. If so, there is no way to explain those marks on the ground. So the next hypothesis seemed more likely.
‘… Endymion escaped through the window to the boundary-‘
Come to think of it, the boundary was raised. Selene’s already pale complexion grew paler at the tail end of her thoughts that followed her moment.
‘No way… !’
I don’t have time to be alone anymore. If her predictions were correct, she was in an urgent need of every minute and every second.
‘I have to go quickly!’
Otherwise, Endymion will probably…. I couldn’t even imagine what happened after that. Selene magically flew past the garden that was laid out like an obstacle.
Before long, Selene, who was approaching the boundary that rang earlier, widened her eyes. She didn’t even have time to think long.
Pajijijik—!!!
Endymion, who is being charred, quickly rescues him from suffering beyond the boundary. Only then did the electric shock emitted by the boundary stop.
“Ha ha… Ha ha…”
Calming her surprised heart belatedly, Selene doesn’t even have a moment to rest as she examines the condition of Endymion she saved.
“Why…”
Her expression is wet with futility. Selene seemed quite shocked, her eyes shaking wildly.
“Why… Why are you doing this…”
She asks him questions that she can’t hear in a watery voice. The indescribable emotion welling up deep in her heart made her eyes redden.
‘This… ‘
No one can say that she is alive. No, even if they were alive, they would soon die. One day, when Selene sees him burnt as black as the leaves she had shown him as her demonstration, she soon drops a single tear from her darkened eyes.
“Didn’t you hate being by my side… That much?”
She didn’t know this. She never dreamed that Endymion would make such an extreme choice. So she was even more shocked.
“I… I…!”
I thought you felt the same way as me….
Remorse when missed. Is it too late to correct what has already gone wrong?
The tears won’t stop. Selene mourned as she shed tears as clear as dew on Endymion.
‘Where did I go wrong….’
Please let me know….
I want you to wake up from that black ash and tell me please….
It is a vain hope. Of course Selene knew that. Besides, there won’t be a miracle of reviving a human who has already been burned like that…
“…?”
Selene had a special look in her eyes.
The ash that was covering Endymion seemed to flow down beside her. In the windless weather, she fell in all directions like ashes.
If it was just that, she might have cursed at me, saying that she is a boring trick of God. But the strange things didn’t end there.
She could see something growing over the flowing ashes, the white bones inside of him that were finally exposed.
“This is…”
Selene opened her eyes wide. It was a sight she couldn’t believe.
‘This… Play… ?’
I don’t know why. For an ordinary human already charred, it made sense for him to die.
However, Endymion was causing a drastic change, as if he were going to give up on things like that.
The charred ashes are peeled off, and muscle regenerates and new flesh grows over the exposed white bones.
It happened in just a few minutes, and Selene was stunned by the sight.
“How did this happen…”
There is absolutely no way a normal human could do something like this. Selene was even more confused because she knew that.
Then, all of a sudden, a passing memory.
It was the memory of the first meeting between Selene and Endymion.
‘Then… He must have cast a spell that would destroy the area.’
In the middle of the war, she used the magic of annihilation to complete her request. Anything that was within reach of that magic had to disappear and turn into a handful of ashes.
By the way, the only person alive at that time was Endymion.
‘No way… ‘
Selene simply thought he was lucky enough to survive. But, she said, deep down, the magic was the kind that no one could avoid, no matter how lucky they were.
Like a natural disaster.
Is it possible for human beings to avoid the wrath of nature that comes upon us in an instant?
‘No.’
Impossible. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now I notice it.
‘This guy… ‘
I am absolutely not an ordinary human being. If it wasn’t for that, it would be ridiculous for him to endure the barrier he formed with all his strength when he was young.
How much time has passed? Judging from the setting of the sun, it was clear that a considerable amount of time had passed.
‘In the end… He is alive again.’
Selene still looks at Endymion, who has become fine without knowing it, with red eyes still tearing up, as if remnants of the past were left behind.
‘You sleep as if you’re dead…’ .’
Come to think of it, it was strange that she saw it through her familiar’s eyes earlier. It’s probably the work of Endymion.
“Ah…”
Selene chewed her lips almost at the same time as she exclaimed.
‘What should I do… ‘
I definitely regretted it. However, when Endymion comes to life, and when he learns a part of what he has been hiding, a disturbing feeling springs up.
Greed, possessiveness, possessiveness, betrayal, relief, anger, love….
All of this was written in Selene’s eyes as she looked at Endymion under the setting sun.
