278 – The Boy from Thousands of Years Ago

Irrespective of the identity of the strange sense of incongruity, the story continued.

After clearing her mind by talking to herself to her, I headed straight to the goddess.

This time, as before, the two goddesses go down to the ground through the door as soon as the moon rises.

“That’s surprising. Honestly, I thought you would follow me the first time and then decline after that.”

“··· What if I send her older sister down alone and something happens to her? “I have to follow and watch.”

Despite the lame excuse, the goddess only chuckled and laughed and showed no other reaction.

Eterna is interested in cabins in the woods.

On the other hand, the goddess is repulsed by humans, so if she notices the existence of the hut, she will not try to set foot in the forest.

So, the goddess of time naturally began to induce the same situation as yesterday.

“What are you going to do, sister? “Is she lying down and sleeping like she did yesterday?”

“Hmm. Well···.”

“I’m thinking of going into the forest.”

“Are you going to go in again? “Didn’t you look around everything yesterday?”

“Walking with animals was better than I thought.”

Her sister, who had been lost in her thoughts for a while at her sister’s euphemistic request, soon nodded and answered.

“Originally, I was thinking of going to another area, but if you want, this is also a good place to look up at the night sky.”

“Thank you.”

“I will be resting in this field, so come on time and not too late.”

“Yes! “Then I’ll come back!”

In the end, as Eterna had hoped, he entered the forest alone.

It was obvious who she should follow. I was convinced that the incident I experienced yesterday was related to Eterna in some way.

Pitch-black darkness. Shiny white fox. A cabin with a familiar setting.

And Franken’s meaningful words.

‘How many times do you think you are watching this story over and over again?’

“······.”

Is the reason why I feel a sense of déjà vu about all of this really because the same story has been repeated for countless hours?

Does this mean that the questions I feel right now may not be the first?

Franken advised not to understand the whole situation.

Anyway, you will understand everything after watching the whole story.

I don’t know if it will really turn out as I said, but for now, all I could do was follow Eterna into the forest.

“Hmm. “Where should I go…?”

As she continued to move forward without hesitation, she suddenly stopped in place and began to think.

She advanced without hesitation, so I thought she obviously knew the way, but isn’t this a very immature behavior for a goddess?

It is too late to turn back now as we have already gone quite deep.

To make matters worse, like yesterday, the forest quickly swallowed up the moonlight, turning the surrounding area into darkness.

Then perhaps that child also appears in the same way…?

“Light? Fox?”

It was really like that. A small fox suddenly appeared, brightening the darkness.

I guess I was immediately captivated by her cute appearance, but I couldn’t hide my flushed expression.

“You’re a cute little fox. “Where was she going?”

It’s quite an odd timing for it to have appeared by chance. Moreover, considering that the same situation was repeated yesterday, perhaps this fox is a guide to help us break through the darkness.

However, the Goddess of Time seemed to have no sense of crisis in the current situation, and instead of trying to escape into the darkness, she was completely absorbed in stroking the fox.

“hehehe. Do you like me too?”

Bpii-.

A fox rubbing her body against me with a cute cry.

It seemed as if she had been completely taken over by her cuteness, and she hugged her fox tightly in her arms and buried her face in its fur.

“Hey, why don’t you come and live with me? “How about becoming one of my subjects?”

Bpii-.

“···Okay. “This is your home, so it will be difficult to leave.”

Does he understand what the fox is saying, or is he just talking to himself?

Since she was a goddess, I believed it would be the former, but considering her appearance earlier, it seemed not entirely possible that it was the latter.

“Then I guess I should at least give it a name. “Are you okay too?”

Bpii-.

“Let’s see. “What name would be good?”

Eterna, who was observing her fox delicately and contemplating her name, muttered quietly with her faint smile.

“Your fur is so white. So, how about Hayang?”

Beep!

‘···White?’

I was watching intently from behind, but as soon as I heard that familiar name, my eyes widened.

What, then, that fox…

Apostle of the Goddess of Time.

Hayang trapped in the mirror world was originally a fox?

It was shocking, but if you think about it, it wasn’t completely unreasonable.

The fox has the appearance of a human, and since it is a member of the family of God, changing its appearance would not be very difficult.

However, there was something even more strange than that.

I’m sure I would have given it the name Hayang, but if this story goes, doesn’t it mean that Eterna gave it the name White thousands of years ago?

It is too elaborate to be considered a simple coincidence.

But if it is not a coincidence, then how could I, who lived thousands of years in the future, know Hayang’s name and give her the same name?

‘The passage of time is meaningless in this gap. Whether past, present or future. ‘All timelines exist simultaneously and overlap.’

Franken’s voice became a whisper and flowed through my ears.

No, is this my voice? If Franken is me in the future, what is the difference between Franken and me in this gap where the future exists simultaneously?

My head was pounding. I felt like I could understand something, but it felt like my mind was pushing it away, telling me not to understand.

Beep!

At that time, Hayang’s refreshing cry broke my dizzy thoughts.

“Huh? “Follow me?”

Afterwards, I obediently lowered White to the ground while tilting her head.

Then immediately a white fox runs up to the front and looks back.

After chasing after him, the cabin that was his destination appeared.

“Did you guide me? hehehehe. Thank you.”

White, who was being petted gently, soon came running to the hut.

There, a boy was opening the door and coming out.

“Huh? “Where did you go again and now…”

The boy, who was treating the fox in a friendly manner, belatedly noticed the presence of Eterna standing in front of him.

“···Woman? “Who are you?”

She was a little embarrassed, as if she had not expected to suddenly encounter a human like this, but she quickly calmed down and made an appropriate excuse.

“Well, I’m lost.”

“Uh… “Would you like to find your way in this deep forest in the middle of the night?”

She looked away and felt embarrassed, perhaps because she thought it was a lame excuse, but surprisingly, the boy believed her excuse.

“I’m glad. “There are a lot of wild animals in this forest, so it’s dangerous to wander alone.”

“But what is this cabin?”

“This is a mountain cabin that my father built himself. “My father is a hunter, so he uses this as a base when he goes into deep areas to hunt.”

She was concentrating and nodding her head as if she was interested in what the boy was telling.

“Are you still hunting at this time of night?”

“Ah, now… “I came alone secretly.”

“Why?”

“I want to feed this child. I first met her a few days ago, and she seemed to have been abandoned by her mother, but even though she was a cub, she was walking around alone. “I was kind of worried…”

Far from rejecting the boy’s touch, Hayang obeyed it better than I did.

“Didn’t you say it’s dangerous to travel alone?”

“hahahaha… Still, the area around this mountain cabin is okay. “My father sprinkled a scent that animals disliked everywhere.”

“Hmm. “It seems like your father is an experienced person.”

“Of course! “I will learn hunting skills from my father and become an excellent hunter!”

Just a few minutes after meeting, the two were talking amicably.

Eterna, who was interested in humans, began to satisfy her curiosity through her boy. Meanwhile, unlike her older sister, she gradually developed favorable feelings toward humans.

“Then will we stay inside the cabin until dawn?”

She tried to decline the boy’s offer with a troubled expression.

“There is tea and cookies inside.”

“···Cookies?”

“Yes. “It’s so sweet and delicious!”

Unable to control her intense curiosity about human food, which she had never heard of before, she eventually followed the boy and entered the mountain cabin.

Eterna’s expression showed no trace of wariness toward strangers, only her exploration and excitement toward her new territory.

Hayang, who was following the two entering the cabin, stopped for a moment and looked back. She

It was as if she was standing alone and asking me if she would come in with me, who had been blankly watching the scene so far.

The sounds of friendly conversation and laughter coming from inside the hut.

I was so shocked and confused that my mind went blank.

That boy…

From Noble mtl dot com

A boy who was an ancient person from thousands of years ago, who is clearly normal at first glance…

I felt like I knew who it was.

Because that was me.
