Offer a Tribute and Become the Grand Wizard Episode 132.

What ran away [6]

“It is annihilation.”

Startle. Bores felt his whole body freeze when he saw the sudden appearance of a noble boy.

“How could you…”

From Bores’s perspective, this was impossible. Not only did his brother-in-law, who had been conscripted, escape from prison, but he was also standing there wearing the clothes of a nobleman.

However, Ronobe, the person responsible for solving the question, did not answer. Instead she just mumbled something she couldn’t even understand.

“It’s easier for me to blow oil than to blow bubbles. “Because they are the ones who will blow it all up anyway.”

“What is that…”

It was then.

Suddenly, small oil droplets rose from the ground.

Before I knew it, the bottom of my feet was full of black oil.

The oil underfoot moves as if with will, flowing as if to surround the bandits and Bores.

“What the fuck!”

“He’s a wizard!”

“Even so, I’m alone! “Pounce!”

I don’t know what it was, but when the situation turned strange, the bandits followed their instincts.

Of course it was a handshake.

“Who said it was okay to move?”

bang-! An oil droplet the size of a human eye suddenly exploded in a small explosion.

“Ouch!”

The bandit who was trying to attack Ronobege had his face burned and the scent of burning skin filling the air. The fire on his face spread to the oil beneath the ground. The fire spread through the oil as if it had feet, surrounding Bores and them.

The boy smiled coolly amid the blazing flames, as if a wall of fire had been created. The bandits trembled with fear at that strange appearance.

It was a fear created by a boy.

“Lord, die!!”

Of course, there were people who overcame that fear. Those who did not have the fear to approach the boy, but had the courage to throw away the weapons in their hands. They threw their weapons.

Weapons such as swords and axes have powerful killing power just by being thrown. No matter how much of a wizard you are, if you get hit by a lost weapon, you will die. Because we are human. At least the bandits hoped he was human.

“Cool bubbles.”

But the boy was not the person they hoped for. Suddenly, water bubbles appeared from my hand and it froze. The fine bubbles instantly froze and bounced away all the weapons thrown by the bandits. As their last move was in vain, there was nothing the bandits could do but kneel.

“Please save me!”

“Wrong! “Please, save me!”

“I will be your servant! No, I will become a slave! You can sell me to the slave trader! “The money will come out!!”

When the boy heard the word money, he said no. Ronobe was shocked.

But I soon came to my senses.

“It is annihilation.”

A fire rose from beneath the kneeling bastards and consumed them. All a human covered in fire can do is struggle and die. Soon, those who were burned black fell to the floor one by one.

Truly a god-like miracle.

Everyone died in an instant.

And there is only one thing left.

“Bores.”

It was Bores. Only then did Bores come to his senses and pretended to know Ronove.

“Brother-in-law. He was alive…! thank god! How I cared about you! sorry. I didn’t know the war would start so soon! So, I had no choice but to run away, leaving you behind!”

Bores took a step back, spouting out something he didn’t even ask.

But even that didn’t last long.

The flames stopped him.

“I heard it from the guy. “My brother-in-law is the one who sent me to prison.”

“It is a lie! Jones, right? You’re going to believe what that son of a bitch says? It’s better to believe what a passing mutt says! You were fooled by that guy! Since my brother-in-law is naive… I can explain everything. Don’t believe anything that idiot says! We, we… are family! “You shouldn’t believe what others say!”

Ronobe stared blankly at Bores, who was pouring out words at a rapid pace. Bores was the one who became anxious as nothing was said.

“Well, let’s go back home. Sistro! Let’s eat together the food Jonah makes! Then you will understand easily. Okay, then. we. “We are family!”

Ronobe shook his head.

“Why!!”

The flames flickered at Bores’ scream.

Nevertheless, Ronobe did not say anything like this. The flames are gradually narrowing. My skin is hot and my breath is so tight that it’s not easy to breathe. Bores immediately sat down, as if he had given up.

“Hehe, yeah fuck. I sent you to jail. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you were a wizard, you should have told me in advance! Why you? Why are you a wizard? Damn it, not me!”

Now I’m trying to be a little more honest.

Only then did Ronobe open his mouth.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.”

At least Bores didn’t do anything wrong.

But why did he do that?

I always wondered about that.

“you? Yeah, you didn’t do anything wrong. Always innocent, always a pure Cist hunter, and my proud brother-in-law!”

Bores, who was laughing like crazy, soon looked at Ronobe with venomous eyes.

“People must change. “You have to endure and live despite the shitty circumstances, and if enduring isn’t enough, you have to kill people, betray, even if it’s petty, survive and change!!”

“Is that why you sent your brother-in-law to prison?”

“Because you haven’t changed!”

“That’s a stupid reason.”

It hasn’t changed.

No one has changed as much as Ronobe.

But Bores hasn’t changed.

“I stubbornly survived by doing things I shouldn’t have done! In that war zone! I tried my best to survive, even wearing human skin and pretending to be dead! Sometimes, they even killed innocent people. Because it benefited me! But what about you! Why you! Pretend to be clean without doing anything! “Why do you pretend to be innocent and survive so cleanly?”

He was already broken.

“I liked being in the hopper too. “I just liked being at Sist!”

Bores raised his hands.

My hands were shaking like aspen trees.

There was a lot of blood on those hands.

No, I committed a sin.

“How can I touch Jonah with my hand, with this hand? How dare you touch my son! I can never go back. “I can no longer return to the comfort of that comfort!!”

In the end, what he did to Ronobe was that he was jealous of the innocence of the past that he did not have and could not return to.

“This is absurd.”

This was something Ronobe couldn’t understand.

I didn’t really want to understand.

“Trying to understand an asshole in itself makes no sense.”

I was expecting it.

I also fretted about whether it was because I was too stupid to know the hidden story or whether it was for a great cause.

But in reality, there was just a grumpy adult who was saddened by the loss of innocence and jealous of others.

“Bores.”

Wow! Ronove’s fist hit Bores in the face. Bores groaned in pain as his nose bone was instantly shattered. Blood ran down Bores’ hands and face.

“I killed someone too. To live. That’s how people are, and that’s how living things are. In order to live, you have to kill other things and eat them to survive. It was born that way. “We are all.”

We were each born individually.

You cannot have your own intention in that birth. Most people live because they were born. But how each person lives is different. Some people live lazily, while others live busy lives with less sleep.

Being born cannot be determined.

Instead, you decide for yourself the course of your future life.

That’s what life is.

“I was given Hopper’s last name. I will start anew in a time when you didn’t change, a place you can never go back to. “We will rebuild Hopper with our family, Jonah, and even your son.”

Hopper.

In fact, Ronobe didn’t attach much importance to it. It was a castle that Elysia had roughly put together, and she thought it was the best way to develop the territory itself while giving Ronobe a reasonable amount of influence.

So it didn’t matter. Because the surname that was easily obtained could be changed again if one wanted to. Elysia’s things were going to be Ronobe’s anyways, so I tried to act as if they were roughly fitting together.

But not anymore.

“I haven’t changed? no! I have changed more than anyone else! that! More than anyone else! ardently! “I changed with all my might!”

Ronobe’s kick landed on him. Wow! Bores screamed as his bones broke.

“I have changed. You have changed too. And Hopper also changed. “We all change.”

Everyone changes.

Even non-human things change.

There is nothing that does not change.

Whether it changes for the worse or for the better, what has changed is what has changed.

There is nothing you can do about it.

Because that’s what growth is. Whether we like it or not, that’s how we become adults.

“Did you change through fierce struggle? Who is to blame for that? Anyway, I lived and survived. You can return to your family! But why did you lament the change and treat yourself like something dirty?”

Ronove grabbed Bores by the collar.

Then, I pulled him up close enough so that our noses touched and glared at him.

“What you have lost is not innocence. You are not the person you were in the past. You have lost who you are now. I couldn’t accept that you had changed and I just ran away. You changed? No, I think you haven’t changed. “You are still a coward.”

Hopper’s greatest coward, Bores.

He was still a coward.

“You can do as many dirty things as you want in life. “There is no one in this world who never makes a mistake.”

I happened to kill someone. Somehow I accidentally caused innocent people to suffer. it could be.

Because we are people. Because we are not gods.

You can sin as much as you want.

What is important is whether or not you can live with that sin. Those who do not think of sin as a sin are bound to repeat the same sin.

The difference between animals and humans is their effort to avoid committing the same sin. A person who does not try is no different from an animal.

“The people I passed by made me who I am today. What I can do is live well even with their share. Even the share they couldn’t afford! “I will buy everything!!”

dead brothers.

Aunt Elena, awakened by death.

Bernard, who taught me to hunt.

The thieves who revealed people’s malice.

Refugees from a village we no longer remember, where even refugees could kill people.

Gradas’ conscripts, Sist bandits.

Vlad and the Imperial Wizard.

And even Gaisha.

“I will keep changing.”

Tears flowed.

Even though I was wearing cool cloth clothes, my body felt feverish. The tip of her nose was sore.

But still, Ronobe shouted.

“It continues to change and will change again!”

But only one thing.

If there is one thing that should never change, it is the initial mindset.

“I must! Become a great wizard!! that is! “It’s courtesy to the people who helped me!”

Woe! The flames surrounding it became hotter. The red flames burned blue according to Ronobe’s emotions.

It was a pure, clean, blue fire.

“Yes, I was jealous of this.”

Bores laughed empty-handedly.

And then he took out a knife from his pocket.

It was a silver knife.

There was old blood on the knife.

It was a grimoire of fallen flower petals.

“This is the guy who was supposed to be handed over to Djerba’s vassal at noon. You could use it better. “Rather than what I want to write.”

“…”

He grabbed Ronobe’s collar.

“Be sure to do it. “Is he an archmage or something?”

Bores’ face, smiling brightly, resembled the smile of those days. Looking at him lying down, Ronobe hesitated for a moment.

Bores muttered as if pushing his back.

“Like you said, I’m a coward, I can’t even face you. She was too much for me. She asks for Jonah. Ronobe.”

“… okay.”

The blue flame burned brightly and burned everything cleanly.

Soon the fire subsided.

The only thing left there was a boy looking at the sky with a bitter face.
