127 – 5. Witch Moon (3)
5. Witch’s Month – Old Dreams (3)
Since she put her finger on my forehead, I don’t know how, but we each understand the language we speak to each other. Is it an automatic translation device? But I’ve never heard of it being planted on the forehead. I rubbed my forehead vigorously, stupidly, but nothing changed, and I felt like she was looking at me pitifully in the meantime, so I stopped immediately. First of all, I decided to move on, thinking that this situation was some kind of hypnosis.
“Where are we? Who are you? How can I be unharmed? I’m sure he would have died.”
“…… Saved I turned back time.”
Turn back time? I looked at her momentarily insane as she stared blankly at me with her squinting eyes. A particle accelerator that turns a whole human is still a technology of the future. That raw material alone would require a resource the size of a city, but it’s not a story worth talking about as if you picked up a stone on the road like this. It’s clear that he’s a person whose mind is not completely intact.
“Yes, what. Let’s say yes. How are you?”
“…… Forest.”
“A forest?”
“The Forest of Obido.”
She answered in a short answer with a dry tone, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with herself. It was clear that this woman helped me, so she couldn’t argue, and I didn’t ask more. It’s the first time I’ve heard that name.
“Forest…… ?”
I muttered to myself as she went back to what she said. Landscaping projects conducted by the government have already withdrawn a long time ago. How far away from the academy could it be a small park or something like a forest?
“I think you are mistaken about something.”
She said abruptly to me as I was rolling her head hard. I looked at her astride her with her legs crossed on her bed. …… It’s a really blinding outfit. Is a dress so obscene? Even if my classmates, who are the least glamorous among women, dressed up like that, they would never be that level. I pretended nothing was wrong.
“Are you mistaken?”
“This is not the world you used to live in.”
“…… Yes?”
What are you talking about again? I honestly thought that the girl in front of me was just a little bit pretty, but she was really crazy. Compared to the bombastic remarks, she opened her mouth with an endlessly bored expression.
“When I touched it earlier, I briefly read your memory. It seems like you came from a completely different world.”
“What is that…… Are you someone who believes in the multidimensional theory?”
“You must have experienced it too, suddenly falling from the sky.”
She spoke to me in a calm tone, as if she had no interest in my theories or hypotheses. As if you already know, the way you talk. On my way home, I suddenly remembered tripping unnaturally into a manhole. Come to think of it, the time it took for that fall was definitely not a hole of ordinary depth. At least a few seconds had passed before he got stuck in the mud. She continued talking as if she were reading my thoughts.
“That’s not a construct in your world. It is a well.”
“A well, huh?”
“Yes. A well, a well of many worlds.”
The woman crosses her legs and rests her chin on one side. A thin one-piece was pulled tight to fit the curves of her body. I answered while trying to hide her blushing face.
“Well, judging from the use of the expression well, it seems that you believe in ideologies such as wormholes and gates. 57 Years ago.”
“… ….”
Unlike her, I am not crazy. I am normal. I can prove that I am who I am, and the clothes I wear are also the academy’s conquest. Just because he’s talking to a beauty in a gothic, no, medieval-style room doesn’t change that fact.
Unlike me who tried to keep her sane by suggesting her in that way, she sighed and shut her mouth as if she didn’t feel the need to explain anymore when I seemed to keep denying her words. Abandoned I also felt that way, so I looked up and asked.
“Uh, anyway. If I really went through a dimension shift, maybe there’s a way to get back…….”
“…… Doesn’t exist.”
She said. Just like gravity works, like calculation doesn’t change. I didn’t worry as if I was just answering an extremely obvious fact. Then he got out of bed and walked right past me.
“Wait…… !”
I just ran and tried to grab her thin shoulders, but somehow my feet stuck to the carpet and didn’t come off. It doesn’t move too much, as if the soles of the feet and the wool are interlocked like Velcro. She said to me
“…… You are the same.”
“Yes…… ?”
She didn’t answer and left. Naturally, I was left alone in an empty room, and naturally sat down and lay down naturally.
Looking at it now, the candles in the room didn’t smell like they were burning at all. After all, is this all a dream? If so, I’d rather be happy. If not.
What will happen to me in the future?
※
Suddenly, a cold wind blew from behind me, and I opened my eyes again. I turned around to see a knight in rugged silver armor opening the swing door and entering the room, fiddling with the chinstrap under his helmet.
It’s been a long time since I pulled up the tent I pitched all winter. With the sunlight behind her, she took off her helmet and revealed her face. The right cheek is still full of burns and the left one has a deep cut, but even that doesn’t completely hide the clear eyes and sculptural beauty.
“Whoa.” The woman took a deep breath. Even in this weather, it’s not just because of the helmet that sweat drips from my forehead. She brushed back the gray hair that clung to her forehead with her rather flushed face, and found me lying on the counter and came straight over. The sound of the armor getting closer and closer, I slowly got up as well.
“Jin.”
“Grace…… Today?”
“Yes.”
Grace nodded and pulled her chair and sat down next to her in the seat next to me. She was the exact opposite of Mira’s seat. She smiled softly as she looked at the empty bowls in front of me.
“Are you eating?”
“Yes. Can I prepare something for you?”
“No, I ate breakfast.”
Grace firmly refused. Today is the day I get rejected. I nodded her head and stared into her face.
“Jin?”
Transparent beads of sweat are still forming on his forehead. Ever since she left the Cathedral and entrusted herself to the , Every morning she put on her armament and patrolled the village.
Even if it was patrol, armed robbers and criminals would not show up in the peaceful Cornfield, but Grace herself had a hard time like this every time, as if the Winterwolf raid on Isaac’s house was strongly remembered.
“Why, why do you look at me like that… ….”
It is said that just walking around makes your body harden, and it often seems to hop lightly, but adventurers who have seen it from afar say that it leaves an afterimage behind. It is surprising that he did not neglect training even after leaving the cathedral like a knight. Even compared to me now. I reached her arm inside her counter and handed her a towel as she turned her ruddy face around, avoiding her gaze.
“You are sweating profusely. This.”
“Ah, ah, thank you… ….”
She said with a smile, but she took the handed towel and turned her back to wipe her face hard, as if she was embarrassed by my point. She didn’t mean to go that far. Grace had always been wearing a helmet and sometimes had a tendency to lose sight of how she appeared to others. She still seems to think she’s made an ugly appearance. Not at all.
I smiled awkwardly at her as I lowered her head and handed her towel back to her. A half-image of a different color from the original skin, still painful to look at, came into view. Come to think of it, when she left the capital, she vowed to fix the scar on her face somehow. What the hell am i doing right now He inadvertently reaches her hand toward her face.
“Grace… ….”
“Yes, yes?!”
I found her struggling with her own beliefs. Therefore, I thought that staying in such a shabby inn would not be very helpful in her search for herself. Isn’t the Wandering Knight a title that can only be obtained by wandering? Because of this, I once went to her room and asked her seriously. I didn’t want to waste my valuable time. However, she answered my question with a subtle smile.
‘Thank you for your concern. But…… Unexpectedly, you, too, are a bit dull.’
What did that mean? I stroked her cheek. The tip of her thumb touches a deeply carved hollow wound. It’s not something that feels particularly strange. Because I already got permission. She said she didn’t hurt herself, and she had already touched it several times.
“Sigh… ….”
However, today’s reaction is a bit strange. A snow-white face burns like a fireplace today. The temperature was also subtly high. Where are you sick I can’t even imagine her being a superhuman and catching a cold.
This scar won’t heal even if you injure it and pour potions on it. Same goes for orders. After all, it must be a kind of curse engraved on the soul, just like the voice. I can’t really come up with any ideas. I touched her hot cheek and suddenly suggested it.
“Do you want to wash up later? Long time.”
“What!?”
It wasn’t too difficult for me to heat up the bath water, as my work in the capital opened my slots and allowed me to cast fairly strong spells.
“If you take off your armor and wait, I will call you… ….”
“Oh, no. That… ….”
At that time, I could feel the presence in the kitchen. Sure enough, Celine.
“Jin? Ate it all? Earlier…….”
She seemed to have been measuring her timing all along. Suddenly she appeared at the counter and looked at me while touching Grace’s cheek. And she makes eye contact with her too…… It hardened
“Uh, uh.”
“Ah… ….”
Grace bowed her head with a light smile, and Celine bowed her head reluctantly. Celine’s courtesy of others could only be seen in front of her.
She herself is no longer a cathedral knight or anything, so she says that she has no reason to be treated like a superior, but from the point of view of the inn family, she only has memories of being helped, so it is natural that she cannot be treated comfortably overnight. And, since she was not expelled at all, there was no difference in status.
However, since she found out that Grace is a woman, Celine seems strangely nervous whenever we are together…… Unlike Mira, she doesn’t harbor any ill feelings toward me. Even if I told you my misunderstanding, for some reason I had no intention of listening.
Celine seemed to have something to say, so I tried to take my hand off her cheek…… Grace was holding my wrist and holding me. I don’t know why you’re still smiling faintly. It was a very beautiful smile.
