There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field - There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field chapter 81

81. wind lanterns (2)

The day I told Seria that I still like her unchangingly.

We didn’t go anywhere and shut ourselves up in our rooms.

It was the only time the two of us were allowed.

Seria too. me too. I didn’t say anything, but I knew.

that they will find us soon.

Maybe that’s why we kept quiet and coveted each other.

“Yuwol.”

“huh. Seria.”

After a violent act of love, she called me as we lay together in bed.

“I… I killed a man for the first time…”

Her expression darkened.

“I mistook that doll for you, and I thought I had to save it somehow… I…”

To be honest, I didn’t quite understand how she felt.

It was a completely different story from normal humans killing other humans. this is.

She is a warrior who has to protect humans more than anyone else.

The guilt Seria must have felt was at least several times that of ordinary people.

“You didn’t kill me.”

I stroked her forehead.

“No… I took him into my own hands…”

“Seria.”

I called her name in a firm tone.

“that. It’s what the demons did.”

“…what?”

She asks questions as if she doesn’t understand.

“It was killed by an evil tribe that is irreplaceable in the world. That article.”

“I can’t. That doesn’t mean that what I’ve done has been erased.”

Seria cut it off and spoke.

“Then… when you go back, do you plan on spreading rumors about what you did?”

Seria bit her lip at my words.

“The hero who generously supported a human from the imperial side. What would happen if the people of the world found out that he killed a knight of the imperial family?”

It was an obvious ending.

The world would lose confidence in her and question her qualities and character as a warrior.

“listen. Seria.”

I covered her mouth with my index finger.

“In the forest, you came across an unknown, high-ranking demon. The high-ranking demon killed all the dolls and knights and fought a bloody battle with you.”

It was a story like a novel.

“And Sirius, who discovered it, joined the hero and tried to kill the demon, but was unable to deliver a critical blow and was transferred by the demon’s sudden space magic.”

in other words. It was a scenario that I wasn’t the one who scattered the explosive magic on the spot.

This was the best explanation I could think of right now.

Whether I went back to the academy on my own or was dragged in, I had to prepare at least something to say.

“…If I say that, people might believe me. But, Yuwol.”

She spoke in a tone that was not confident.

“Nobody knows. I remember.”

“Even if everyone in the world doesn’t know the end of that article. Maybe it’s only me who remembers it right?”

Seria buried her face in my chest.

“I will speak as you say. But as an atonement for that person. No matter what happens, I will fulfill my mission as a hero to the end.”

I understand, but I think it’s hard to cheer for that. Ceria.

I smiled bitterly.

“Rest for now. You need to get some rest so that your wounds will heal.”

“…huh.”

side.

She kissed my cheek.

“See you again. for coming back to me thank you. Yuwol.”

“me too. Nice to see you again. Seria.”

We fell asleep feeling each other’s warmth.

But tomorrow we will have to speak harsh words to Seria again.

How will she react to my words?

Looking down at her sleeping, my eyes were filled with sorrow.

I opened my eyes.

Seria, who was supposed to be by his side, was missing.

what. Where are you?

I hurriedly stood up, wondering if she had changed her mind and had taken an unexpected action.

I opened the door and walked out the hallway.

I tried to ask the village chief if he had seen where she went, but he seemed to have already gone out.

where are you. Ceria.

The moment I hurriedly opened the door and left the house.

Seria, who had changed into clothes that were comfortable for my eyes, was stretching as if refreshing.

“hi. Yuwol.”

“Uh… uh!”

I was embarrassed to see Seria greet me so calmly and with a feeling similar to when we lived in the same house.

“Where are you going?”

“excuse me.”

She raised her hand and pointed to a fairly tall mountain in the distance.

“excuse me?”

“huh. excuse me.”

She answers without hesitation.

“So you said you took that peak with your body?”

“Ah… I thought everything was better, so I was just trying to loosen up.”

After all, is a warrior a warrior?

Even a knight with good stamina should take at least half a day to get there and back…

She was the one who had gone through the terrifying streets in one breath.

Phew…

It was a sudden move, but I thought it was fortunate that I came back.

I was the one who thought that I could go back to the academy without consulting me or even make an extreme choice for some reason.

“How are your wounds?”

“Can’t you see?”

Betsy smiles.

“The scars remain, but they are all healed. It doesn’t interfere with movement at all. Of course, compared to before the injury, there are some flaws.”

If you become a hero… Does your resilience increase?

If I think of the wound I received the other day, I would never be able to move like that in two days…

It was just amazing.

“thank god. Get well soon.”

It was good to see her looking healthy.

“Then Yuwol.”

Seria lifted her head and met my eyes.

“we. There is still something to be said.”

I nodded.

“huh. Shall we take a short walk? we?”

After walking along the forest road for a while, a blue lake spread out in front of us.

The sea had followed the raven before, but it was the first time he had seen such a large lake with his own eyes.

“pretty.”

The exclamation came out at the scenery like a picture.

“I know. I wish we had at least one nice lake like this in our town.”

Seria also sympathized with my words, as if regretting it.

We found a flat rock and sat there, looking at the lake.

“Shall we talk now?”

Sarah turned her head and looked at me.

Taking a deep breath, I closed and opened my eyes.

“huh. ask me.”

“Then first. Yuwol. Who made you a demon?”

It was one of the expected questions.

“The great nobility of the Demon Realm. 2nd place in the sequence. Amelia. She turned me into a demon.”

Seria seemed surprised by my answer.

As if at a loss for words, she continued the conversation.

“…why?”

“Because I was with you.”

It was a script I prepared to erase Luna from the description.

“Rather than killing me, it’s to keep me alive and use me as a hostage.”

Waves began to rise in the calm lake.

It was the energy that radiated from Seria’s body.

“Then… why are you not imprisoned in the Demon World? Are you in the human world?”

“Because that side is more cruel.”

“why?”

“Seria. I don’t know if you know it, but the devil king’s authority and unique magic. It governs the lives of all demons.”

“That means…”

Seria’s eyes widened.

“I am now… the words of the demon king. No, it means that you have become a body that can be killed with just your will.”

This was the truth.

With one snap of Maou-nim’s finger, I was a body that would turn into powder and disappear.

“It could be…”

Sarah held my hand.

“Is there any way to return to being a human? really?”

I didn’t know the answer to this either.

The source of life would change, but I had no way of knowing whether or not that was possible.

“You knew that it would be more painful for you if I existed by your side, breathing in the human world. those guys.”

Seria clenched her fists.

“…Then they burned down the village too?”

I shook my head.

“no. That’s not right.”

“…what?”

Seemingly surprised by my answer, Seria asked back.

“Our nest that day. It was none other than the imperial knights who burned the village of Homer.”

It was Seria with an expression of incomprehension.

“They burned down the whole village, murdered your parents, and summoned Amelia to her place.”

“No, wait a minute. Do you mean that these mere knights have the ability to summon such a high-ranking demon?”

I also had this question unanswered, so I asked Master a question in the Demon Realm.

[Master.]

[What. Dog star.]

[I really have a question.]

[Tell me.]

[Is it possible for ordinary humans to summon Master?]

Amelia-sama smiled.

[You must be wondering how I met you that day.]

[yes.]

Now that I think about it, it was absurd, so I really wanted to ask.

[The scroll they used was… the scroll I gave as proof of the promise I made with a certain human.]

Master’s expression, as if recalling something for a moment.

[I don’t know why they had it. The owner was not there.]

What the hell is a human being who can summon Master?

I was very curious about who he was.

[Would this be the answer? Go and practice.]

[yes.]

Hearing the bitter voice, I went back to training.

“I see.”

Seria nodded at my explanation.

Did he unilaterally consider the demons as the axis of evil? Her face turned into a complex expression.

“So what the doll said is true…”

Seria let out a deep sigh.

Seemingly unorganized in her thoughts, she continued to ask questions.

“Then Yuwol-ah. you. How about Luna?”

Seria couldn’t continue talking until the end.

because…

It was because the lake was rumbling and splitting in half.

The still waters were swirling and creating a path in the middle of the lake.

And on the other side of the lake, a familiar silhouette was approaching us.

She approaches with her frosty silver hair flying.

my girl

Because Luna was walking towards us sitting together.

“…Dog star.”
