158. Return of first love (7)
Luna assimilated with flowers among the roses.
She was smiling, deluding herself into the illusion that she had become a flower.
“Where am I?”
Luna made a calyx with her hands, and her face looked more like a sunflower than a rose.
I put a chestnut on Luna’s head with the feeling of picking her sunflower.
“Ah!”
“Don’t fall into the illusion that you have become a flower just because you are in a flower garden, Luna.”
“It hurts! It’s more of a joke than that! The old man is so narrow-minded that he can’t accept it!”
“It’s not a joke, so I won’t accept it.”
Other times, though, he would hang out with me a little.
The story is a bit different now.
I asked them while taking a glance at the warriors’ party, excluding Hare.
“You guys, answer seriously. How did you get here?”
The security must have been pretty tight.
How can I get into this park?
When I asked the warrior party about this, Luna wiped the cold sweat from her cheeks.
“That’s it! Joe, I guess I used a little force… I guess I used a little bit… “
“… You used force against the guards?”
“Just enough to send you to dreamland? Lol-“
Luna answered with a shy smile.
She wanted to punch that chestnut in the face, but she decided to hold back.
“These idiots… “
Because it wasn’t like that right now.
“I’m not stupid, mister. These idiots are stupid.”
“I am not stupid!”
“… Stop arguing. Everyone get moving. If you idiots let the guards down, the Knights will be dispatched here soon.”
“As for the probability?”
“One hundred.”
Unconditionally dispatched.
The moment he touched the guard.
The magic tools attached to their bodies must have sent a signal to the security center.
And if the hero party is in this section far from the exit…
“I’ll be there soon.”
The moment I spit out the words.
There was a girl who was being chased by countless guards in the distance.
It was so fast that the guards never caught it.
A look of bewilderment was evident on her face.
“Ah, mister… !! Escape… ! I have to run… !!”
Hare approaching us waving.
Ai, I watched it next to me and she spat out a sentimental comment.
“But, on the other hand, wouldn’t it be better if we ran away? Why are you running this way?”
“… I know.”
They even waved at us.
A situation where you can’t even pretend you don’t know.
Watching Hare getting closer to us while being chased by the guards.
I slowly lifted Aina up and placed her on her shoulder.
“I will run with Aina on my back. Take care of Estiya and Saten, Luna.”
“Eh? Are you asking me to carry two people?”
“That’s how it is. You are a warrior, so bear the weight.”
With those words left, I started running forward.
The last thing I saw was Luna’s dumbfounded expression.
As I started running, regret for today remained in my head, and I had no choice but to forget it from my memory.
‘… It wasn’t long until the confession place.’
Sorry.
At the last point, I tried to convey her feelings to Aina.
I felt very sorry for the interruption of today’s warrior party.
***
There was work at Rose Island, and although Hare was quite tired from the excessive running, the hero party returned home safely.
And at dawn, when most of the people were asleep.
Ai I was putting her face out the window and getting some fresh air.
She couldn’t fall asleep easily.
“Ha, the wind is nice. I feel good.”
Close your eyes, feel the calm dawn air, and welcome the wind.
From noble mtl dot com
“I won’t be able to feel this good feeling any time soon. Too bad.”
Even time to sleep is a waste.
I want to live more fun.
What can’t you do?
“Hmm.”
Ai I put my arm on her window and felt a disturbing feeling.
Although she always wondered what might be behind death.
Her head was complicated when she realized that she was actually in a position to experience that death.
“If I had confessed today, I wouldn’t have any regrets left. I mean, you’re deliberately interfering. The thief.”
Thank you though.
If Junwoo had actually confessed to me, I would have been unable to stand it and confessed.
And, he must have left a lingering attachment to Jun-woo that he couldn’t erase.
“Yes, you shouldn’t be greedy for being confessed to in a vanishing position… “
This will fit.
To take care of the rest of the disciples.
This must be right.
I thought for a while, repeating her own thoughts, then closed her window.
And then, the moment she turned her body back to lie down on the bed.
I noticed that the visitation was strange.
“… What? Did you come to pick me up?”
There is still one day left, as I expected.
Have you come to pick me up already?
“Is this death? Still, I’m a little curious. Suddenly guided to the door.”
A being who seeks magic.
Wizard.
Aina approached her door and opened it, curious even in the face of her near death.
“It’s the door to the underworld, but there’s no gold? It’s complete garbage. Am I going to Hell?”
Kiki-
Aina grumbled and opened the door and entered.
There was an ordinary staircase leading to the library.
I blinked at her in embarrassment.
“… In fact, the underworld was a library. Wouldn’t that be something?”
No way.
That can’t be.
The end of life is the library.
Isn’t that a bit like that?
“I want to go in style at the end. What kind of library is it?”
Tsk-
Aina clicked her tongue, and with a sense of disappointment, she made her way to the library. She
She climbed the stairs and passed through them, where she saw the shape of a huge library.
And there was a huge owl standing at the information desk in the library.
“Boo-“
“… You look stupid.”
“Boo-! Boo-!”
“What, tell me to follow you?”
“Boo.”
Meowong flapped her wings to follow Aina and guided her through the library.
It is a huge library and there are many kinds of her books, and as I walked around, her curiosity about her library was piqued.
‘What is that book about? And, why are there so many books here? I want to read them all. I’m curious… ‘
Aina follows the meow while thinking such a small thing.
The moment I let go of her mind and looked around her.
Aina bumped into the back of a meow that stopped suddenly.
“Oh?”
“Boo-“
“What are you talking about? Arrived?”
“Boo-Boo-“
A meow owl nodding its head at the owl theme.
She calmly watched the meow as it returned to its seat.
“It must be delicious if Junwoo cooks because he is big.”
“I can’t do that. He is my apostle.”
Aina was startled and followed her voice.
There, a young child who looked to be 15 years old was lying on the sofa.
She was reading a book with a drowsy face.
I asked, squinting at her.
“Little child… ?”
“I’m not a kid. She is a goddess.”
Beep-
Minerva rose from her seat and met her face with Aina.
Then, he immediately frowned.
“Looking at it in real life, it looks even more annoying.”
“… Under?”
“The culprit of making my apostle suffer. To be honest, I hate you.”
Although it had a good influence on Junwoo.
The result is Junwoo’s death in the end.
Minerva couldn’t like her child.
“I am Minerva, the goddess of knowledge and records. You must have heard roughly what Junu said.”
“… Is there anyone who can help? She did say that sometimes she gets help. Was she that she was a goddess? Why did he hide this information from me… ?”
“Yes, I was helping Junwoo. I also told you not to tell me. Don’t be too sad.”
Than that.
Minerva gently handed over the book she was reading.
“I think we should have a little chat… First of all, would you like to read a book?”
“Suddenly?”
Aina was embarrassed.
He always hands me a book whenever I say no.
Why does the goddess look so immature?
This goddess had an atmosphere similar to that of a warrior’s party.
“As expected, he looks like a child.”
“… I don’t want to talk to you, so read quickly.”
“Poop.”
I hit her snort at the childish side of her goddess and started reading.
The title of the book is ‘Lee Jun-woo’s future.’
She felt something strange about it, but Aina decided to read it as her goddess said.
And the moment I read the entire book to the end.
Aina shouted as she slammed the book on the floor.
“… Why did you give me this book? Goddess.”
Aina glared at Minerva with burning eyes.
Minerva muttered with a cold gaze.
“Junwoo is dying because of you. That’s Junwoo’s future. It is a future that will never change.”
“Oh no! That’s strange! I woke up from the sealing stone and I didn’t want to give Junwoo any regrets, so I tried so hard!! Why, why did Junwoo lose his life-!! That way too-!!”
I can never admit it.
I can’t see the future where my student dies in this way.
I will reject this future.
However, contrary to Aina’s thoughts, Minerva answered confidently.
“Even if you don’t, Junwoo does. That’s junwoo Even as a goddess, I can’t stop it, and to be honest, I like the result the most.”
“What… ? Good… ? That’s what you can say to an apostle of the goddess… ?”
“It’s not that it’s good for Junwoo. That’s good for the world If Junwoo dies, the warrior party will save the world very easily.”
Jun-woo’s death is meaningful because it gives pain for growth and becomes food for the growth of the warrior party.
Minerva spoke the truth, but she clenched her teeth.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
“… I don’t want to let Junwoo die either. But what should I do? There is only such a future left.”
“How can I change… ?”
“No.”
Aina gets frustrated when she hears that there is no one.
She was confident that she wasn’t greedy and did a good job.
Her heart was torn as she heard of the hopeless future.
However, Minerva seemed not to be discouraged just yet.
She approached Aina and handed her a book.
“Do you like Junwoo? Do you want Junwoo to be happy? Then… “
Read this book.
And act according to the future described in this book.
Then…
“Even if Junwoo can’t be happy here. He could be happy elsewhere.”
Aina instead.
You have to do one thing.
“If you don’t mind, take this book and leave the library.”
“… To the disciple. No, it’s definitely something that will help Jun-woo… ?”
Nod-
Minerva nodded her head, and without hesitation Aina took the book and left her library.
She wanted her own pupil to be happy.
She thought that even if she wasn’t confident, it would be fine if she was happy somewhere.
She was born into an aristocratic family and lived a life unloved by her family.
The person who first gave her love was Lee Jun-woo.
“… As long as you are happy, I can be satisfied.”
Even if our hearts don’t connect.
She thought she wanted the other person to be happy.
That was the way Aina loved Lee Jun-woo.
