304 – Day 3 (4)
If you want to get ahead, of course you have to go to a place where people flock.
But if you want to find peace, if all you want is to have a peaceful life,
Going to a place where there are too many people may not be the right answer.
So, from the moment this priest met the little wolf, there was one thing he always thought.
The city might not be the place that suits this child.
-…I always wanted to take you there. I wanted to introduce you to my hometown.
Later, when I met Yanid and she joined her group, those thoughts deepened even more. Just turn your head and you will see the most peaceful village in the world.
At least the residents there seemed to fully accept a winged girl with horns on her head as a resident. He wanted to take these two girls to Pumpkin Vine Village someday.
-Now that is no longer possible.
I know. Although it is a peaceful and comfortable place, it is far from heaven on earth.
It is not a luxurious place, nor is it a flashy place. The reason Yurinel left the village was because she didn’t like life there.
But in that case, just leave. Pumpkin Vine Village doesn’t force anything.
Someone comes and someone leaves. I don’t care about anything. No one cares.
-Hey, Roca. Why are you crying so much? Why are you crying so much? Why are you so deeply sad? There is no need for that. Really, there’s no reason to abuse yourself. It was me who was at fault.
Dazzling sunlight burst out, and a human figure was revealed in the light. She stretched out her arms made of light itself and hugged the girl who was shedding tears.
The light taken directly from the sun was as warm as a human body temperature. Every time she touched that warm light, her cold girlish skin regained its warmth. Her weakened body regained strength because she had not eaten, and her throat, which had been dry due to not drinking, became moist again.
There was no doubt! The girl was held in her arms without any resistance. She buried her head and cried and cried. She wanted to speak, but her throat was so tight that no words came out, so she just held on without saying a word. She hugged him so tightly that it broke her bones, as if she was never going to let him go again.
Her tail slithered in her stead and grabbed the leg like a snake snatching its prey. So tight that it crushed her ankles.
Of course, I know deep in my heart. There is no way I can catch it like this. It would obviously be nothing more than meaningless action.
But if she knew and didn’t do it, she couldn’t handle the regret.
“Are you really, really back?”
[That figure does not mean that he came back alive…]
Unlike Yanid, who smiled brightly, the dragon narrowed her eyes and glared at her opponent for a moment. And after some time had passed, she sighed and shook her head.
The appearance of the body created by that light was the same as when it was alive, but it could not be the same. This brilliant body is merely a temporary transformation, and the true appearance of the ascended one can never be contained on this earth.
If you force yourself to show it here, there will never be good results. However, the experienced and skilled dragon used magic to force himself to see beyond.
It wasn’t even cold, but my body was shaking. It was enough to give me chills. And when he stopped seeing, he forgot what he had seen. It was as if the time he had seen it had been cut out, and even though he tried to recall his memory, nothing came to mind.
However, although he could not remember anything about what he had seen, he did remember what he had not seen. If he hadn’t had that memory, he wouldn’t have even remembered that he saw it.
The only thing that is certain is that it was beyond understanding. He couldn’t understand, at least not his own brain. It’s probably the same for everyone.
[I came back as a different being. No, you came back.]
For the first time, the dragon bit his lips and showed respect. When she met anyone, even the Demon Lord Grimudo, she had secretly looked down on them as being of a lower race, but now, for the first time, she acknowledged the other person and humbled herself. She stuttered because she wasn’t used to it either.
In fact, this dragon had no intention of bursting into tears because he missed Kyle because he was leaving. He just thought that if he was politely let go, he would be done. Dragons are like that by nature. Even when someone close to him dies, he just accepts it calmly. He was even more surprised that he appeared like that.
“Don’t go…”
However, not everyone can accept eternal separation so calmly.
This has nothing to do with mental strength or weakness.
“Do I have to go?”
The wolf had tears in his eyes. He now has the power in his hands to make even the kings of a nation tremble with fear. Power sometimes betrays its owner, but the power built up through training is always honest.
But even with those things, he cannot hold on.
“Is it okay if I don’t leave?”
I knew the answer, but I didn’t want to admit it. I felt like I wanted time to stop at this moment, but that couldn’t happen.
-I have to go, Roca. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re breaking up forever.
Not because I will always live in your heart,
Because we can truly meet again.
From Noble mtl dot com
It will certainly be a very distant future, but
It is still in the realm of possibility, but
This child will definitely be able to get to where he is.
-So stop having such scary thoughts. Roca, you don’t have to be so anxious. We’re just separated for a little while, just for a little while.
The priest, who peeked into the future and discovered what this child was planning, muttered with a bitter smile. He picked up a really scary kid. But now all those possibilities have become impossible. So it was okay.
“I need a master. If you’re not here, I… I… I don’t know how to act. “I don’t even know what I should do.”
I don’t know now, but this child will soon find the answer.
Angels only become interested in the world when it is in turmoil. So, wouldn’t the world have to be in chaos to bring someone who has already ascended to heaven back to earth?
Roca did not know. So I did it willingly. Holding the Chamrundo in his hand, he became a demon king himself and took the place of the martial artist.
A new Demon King of Twilight arrived in place of the ancient Demon King who disappeared, and all life was annihilated wherever the sunset sparkled. Demons, humans, and beastmen were no exception.
Because I hoped that the person who ascended to heaven would pay attention to the earth.
Because he wanted to see himself.
I can’t tell you how fortunate I am that this ended up being just a possibility.
In the end, there was definitely a lack of education. If he had just left without taking full responsibility for this child, the result would have been a catastrophe that could have happened on earth.
-Then learn. Learn and come to me. Roca, if you don’t accept the breakup, it will only make you sadder. You are a strong and confident child, right? You may be sad right now, but you can definitely overcome that sadness.
I don’t have time to tell you everything about how people should live, but maybe other people can help me.
-Roca, and Yanid. Come visit my hometown. Then maybe there you can find again what you lost. You remember our house in Larpentia, right? In the second drawer of my room, its location is written.
Pumpkin Vine Village.
It was definitely not a good place for a girl who longed for the glamor of the world,
It is the perfect place to take care of two girls who became lonely at a young age.
-There have been many things to be thankful for. Even though you had no reason to do so, you helped me a lot.,
Once Roka calmed down a little, she had time to turn her head in the other direction. The dragon shook his head gracefully as if it was nothing.
[I must say thank you for helping me get my body back. I just paid off my debt. So there is no need to say that.]
The treatment was completely different from when he was alive, and the way he spoke was polite. The priest, who was hearing this dragon show respect for the first time, just smiled. I might have been able to get along with that dragon a little better, but unfortunately I didn’t have time anymore.
-I have no way of knowing whether the person up there is satisfied with my actions and story, but it is time to stop. Roca, Yanid. And Ajahadaka. May the Lord’s love, blessings, and mercy be with you always.
Now, the sunlight is starting to break. Light is one of the best mediums for capturing divinity, but it ultimately has its limits. It can only be endured a little longer, but it cannot come close to eternity.
So now it is time to leave,
As if she was disappointed even for that moment, the girl still couldn’t let him go. He still seemed to have some regrets, but eventually he closed his eyes tightly and gave in. Eventually, he freed his tail from wrapping around his leg.
…But his hand was still held tightly.
-Goodbye, Loka.
However, even that hand soon turned into powder of light and disappeared. Even if he absentmindedly stretches out his hand and tries to collect the scattered lights, it ends up being the same as trying to hold on to a mirage or smoke.
Nothing was grasped by the hand, but only warmth remained in the hand. The girl clenched her fists and trembled, but stopped crying.
That is how the apostle left. The girl looked at the sky without realizing it.
This is the North Pole. What you see is neither day nor night, but the midnight sun. But beyond the concerto of the midnight sun, it seemed as if some gigantic being was waiting for a flawless soul.
“Whether I visit or call you, we will definitely meet again, so I’m waiting. “I will definitely have to see it again.”
The girl, who regained her vitality, looked up at the sky and shouted loudly. The sound echoed and rang loudly. A dragon and a half-dragon were relieved to see that her expression had finally become a little more human-like. Only now did she relax and sigh, rubbing her chest.
Now the girl no longer tried to claim her asceticism by walking the difficult path to the North Pole.
A little while later, a huge dragon flew up into the Arctic sky carrying two women and a coffin.
