After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 106

106 – The Last

Ian’s waistband.

The sword buried in the blood comes into view.

This is a rapier familiar to Sharon.

The sword that Ian gave to himself, but then returned to him.

From Noble mtl dot com

Sharon absentmindedly held it in her hand.

My relationship with Ian was all defined by this sword.

◆

— Love love!

A sword that roughly cuts through the air.

At first glance, frost appears in the air and then disappears.

“Miss Sharon. Are you attending the freshman social club today?”

“Let’s not just practice swordsmanship too much and have fun at least once. It hasn’t been long since we entered school.”

— Love love!

“Aren’t you going today too?”

“… It would be nice to hang out a little bit.”

— Love love!

“Did you hear that? Anyway, I was ostracized by my family for being a double b*tch.”

“What do you believe and why are you so cheap?”

“It’s okay. Let’s go.”

Sharon looked straight ahead from the beginning.

She ignored all the rumors around her. Instead, she only swung a sword.

However.

— Clink!

The problem was that the sword kept breaking every time I drained mana.

Sharon bandaged her hand with a sigh.

‘… It would be nice to have a better sword.’

At that time.

The loud shout of a member of the Knight Club was heard from far away.

“Sharon! It’s a big deal! It’s a big deal!”

Sharon frowned lightly.

She was not trustworthy in making a fuss.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, sorry to disturb you! But!”

The classmate immediately handed Sharon a piece of paper.

“Look at this! Look at this!”

He had a very excited face.

I keep smiling brightly because I don’t know what’s good.

It was obvious that girls of this age would be that interested.

“… Give it to me.”

Sharon received the note.

A chill suddenly appeared in her eyes as she read the words.

“What is it? What is it? It’s a confession after all, right?!”

“… It’s nothing.”

“I guess that’s right! Who is it? Who is it?”

Sharon bit her lip.

Because the name Ian was clearly written on the note.

Ian.

He often receives help.

When I asked for equipment that was difficult to obtain, he would search for it like a ghost and get it for me. When training at high levels of difficulty, his earth attribute magic was of great help.

Therefore, I am thankful.

But that was only the help she received as a colleague.

‘I don’t need things that interfere with my training.’

This kind of approach was difficult.

For Sharon, just one hour was a waste.

“Huh, Sharon? What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

Sharon coldly removed the motivation that was clinging to him.

“Tch, you’re unlucky.”

◇

A garden.

Just like the message said, Ian was waiting there.

Sharon struck the player coldly.

“If it’s a confession…”

“Oh. It’s not like that.”

“…?”

Ian took something out.

“You need a sword, right?”

It is a simple but expensive-looking sword.

Every single material was of high quality, and it was clear that the smelting had also gone through the hands of a craftsman. Something that wasn’t flashy was Sharon’s preference.

“… Don’t you know how I am evaluated?”

“Is that important?”

“…No.”

“Then it’s not important to me either.”

Ian laughed.

Then he asked.

“Do you need a sword?”

“It is necessary.”

“Then sleep.”

I reach for the sword he holds out.

Just before reaching. Sharon stopped his hand.

“Ian.”

“Huh?”

“I can’t look back at you if you hand me something like this.”

“… Yes.”

“I can’t even give my heart away.”

“I guess so.”

“I will just receive it. I have a path to go. There is a reason to become strong. For that, I will only train.”

Sharon said what was in his heart without realizing it.

It was my first time speaking to someone.

Ian, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“Okay then. Just take it.”

“… What?”

“I’ll just give.”

Sharon looked at Ian with a puzzled expression for a while.

Why does this bastard come to me like this when I stay away from everyone?

“I guess you didn’t understand…!”

Sharon shouted without realizing it.

“It means I don’t have the situation or the space to include anyone!”

“I’m saying I’m going to wonder why you’re so nice to me!”

“It’s about not expecting anything from me!”

I know.

She had heard a rumor about this guy saying she was the girl.

She was sure that was why this girl was clinging to her.

She thought enough was enough.

She thought she would have gotten away with it.

But.

“Yes.”

He smiled.

What a stupid face.

“…Ha.”

I feel stupid.

This guy too.

She ends up being helped by a guy like that, and she is herself.

“Then I’ll take it. Don’t regret it later.”

Sharon held her sword in her hand.

Her Ian smiled and added to her words.

“Instead.’

“…?”

“What if we get to the end?”

“It’s the end.”

“What if you reach the end of the path you want to take?”

“…….”

“Will you be able to look back at me then?”

Sharon looked at her Ian blankly.

“…What. You.”

What can I say?

Is he clinging to me that much?

“… Back then.”

Sharon answered after a pause.

“I’ll think about it.”

◆

When I saw the sword, that thought immediately came to mind.

“Of course, back then you were just Ian.”

A few days passed.

Ian has confessed.

I disturbed her mind by saying I wouldn’t do it.

I would have said wait.

I guess you weren’t that kind of gentleman after all.

Once an open mind turned into doubt.

I closed the door even more tightly. To the point where I no longer look outside.

After that, the illusion continued.

You have changed.

I doubted you.

I hated it and tried to destroy it.

Give me the sword that day.

Next time, they take it back again.

Just when I thought everything would be over.

I will go my own way.

The end of the road I was walking on.

What should I accept from you who bring me so much?

“Ian. Ian Black Angus.”

Why do you make me look back at you?

‘What are you to me?’

I don’t know.

Everything is complicated.

I don’t know, having only walked one straight path.

You are mine.

I am what you are.

One thing is certain.

Why did I take a step back?

I think I understand now.

“I just received it.”

I just received everything.

With the sole excuse of just walking down the street.

I received everything from you.

“I’m a little confused.”

Even though I knew you would be in danger.

Even though you know that Richard Pierce will harm you in the end.

I walked.

Because this is a life lived only looking forward.

I tried to receive it from you as if it was natural.

“… Shouldn’t that be the case?”

You gave me everything and then showed me the destination of my path.

If I were human.

If I were to be human.

“… I shouldn’t leave you like that.”

I want to ask.

… Because I was something of yours.

Did you keep appearing to me as I ran forward and only looked forward?

The side of the road I was walking on was full of you.

I just didn’t know that.

“It was stupid.”

I only looked at one path and could not look to the side….

“It was selfish.”

From Noble mtl dot com

Sharon muttered.

It was enlightenment.

This was the growth that Sharon Pierce had longed for.

It was a rise to her level that she had lost when she mistakenly thought that Ian was blocking her own path.

It was a liberation that could only be achieved when one gave up the growth he was longing for and looked to the side.

Her mother. It was the same path Sasha Asilia walked.

“I received another one like this.”

Still, I took my eyes off you.

However, it has a different meaning from not looking at you until now.

This is because there is something right in front of us that needs to be resolved.

Sharon picked up her bloody sword.

— Soggy

It is Ian’s blood that wets her hands.

They follow the sword down without fail.

Tuuk. Tuk.

It turns the snow field red.

When I turn my gaze, I see things that were previously invisible.

It’s the same as when I lost my mother.

A man is standing next to the fallen Ian.

Richard Pierce.

The head of the family whom she had brought in.

And she never once acknowledged herself as her child.

Father.

Now even his hair has turned red with no sign of hiding.

Shale believers.

“… You were a Shale believer.”

Sharon gritted her teeth.

“You were the Shale Cultist my mother told me to watch out for.”

I couldn’t see because I was only looking ahead.

The evil that was right next to me was projected onto the completely wrong person.

“… What am I?”

How stupid was he?

Richard’s mouth opened at Sharon’s collapsed expression.

“Sharon Pierce.”

“With that dirty mouth.”

Sharon raised the sword.

“Don’t take my name out of those filthy mouths.”

“Swallowing your mother was an inevitable choice.”

“What is that!”

“Sasha Asilia. Because she was stupid.”

Richard chuckled.

“Because he rushed at me without hesitation.”

“That must have been a sacrifice.”

“Anyway. But now you’re trying to look like her.”

Sharon’s lips trembled.

Then she regained her expressionless expression.

“Don’t insult her. I was stupid, but I wasn’t her mother.”

“Is that really so? Why did you stand in front of me?”

“… I don’t know.”

“No. You know. You are trying to make a sacrifice. A meaningless sacrifice like your mother’s.”

“This is not a sacrifice.”

“Why? I could have walked out into the snowy field right now, but I didn’t choose that path. How is it not a sacrifice?”

“Because now I am finally paying back as much as a speck of dust for what I naturally owe.”

“You’re stupid.”

Richard moved.

His sword plunged harshly into Sharon’s heart.

Sharon also did not back down.

Her sword was also sharply aimed at Richard’s head.

“Sharon! Your sword is similar to mine!”

That’s right.

Her swordsmanship, which she had mastered, resembled Richard’s.

It is the swordsmanship of the Pierce family.

— Chaeng!

That’s why it was blocked.

I was blocked from enlightenment, I was blocked from growth, and that’s why I was blocked by Richard.

— Suddenly!

My back is cut.

Sharon immediately froze her lower back to stop the bleeding.

She simultaneously spewed out her frost and wrapped Richard’s sword.

— Jjaeng!

Part of his sword was broken.

But the long ice pick pierced Sharon’s left arm.

Every time she used her technique, blood poured out of Sharon’s mouth.

Richard was the same.

There was no one sane in this snow field.

“You can’t defeat me!”

— Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

Sharon barely blocked Richard’s blow.

The rapier was bent like a tree branch.

A power gap that cannot be resisted.

And.

Sharon recalled.

Bent sword.

Ian’s sword that drew small snowflakes.

The swordsmanship her mother was trying to perfect.

The sword road unfolded before her eyes.

Sharon’s rapier was bent like a tree branch.

“Where!”

Richard threw out sharp ice.

Sharon’s entire body was torn and her blood welled up.

Despite this, Sharon’s eyes did not change.

Her sword moves.

At the same time, flowers begin to bloom.

Amidst the pouring snow.

One.

Two.

The flowers that had begun to bloom began to fill the world like a snowstorm.

“What, what!”

Flower snowflakes pour down endlessly and cut down Richard.

Pure white snowflakes filled my field of vision.

An absolutely overwhelming sight.

“Wow!”

Richard’s sword collapsed helplessly.

Resist, resist.

— Coo!

Richard collapsed.

From the collapsed man, not a single drop of blood that could melt his eyes flowed.

Only blackened powder was staining the pure white snow.

“Sharon.”

He opens his mouth.

Even though half of his face is distorted to the point where his shape is unrecognizable, and even though the snow that has entered through it is freezing him, he greedily opens his mouth.

“At this level, you would be in the top five in Shaleam. I didn’t recognize you. I didn’t recognize your talent.”

Sharon did not answer.

She just looked down at him.

“Don’t you want to see the end of martial arts?”

“Don’t you want to cut down the snowy mountains with your sword? Don’t you want to place on the throne the family that has always been left behind by the emperor? Don’t you want to look down on the world from the top of the empire, or rather, the continent!”

“Sharon, Sharon. You are the child who can become the best on the continent, no, the strongest of all time. I am sure of this. You can do it. It will definitely happen.”

“You are a child who has received both the blood of the Seolwha Sword Emperor and the blood of me, Richard Pierce.”

“Sharon. Sharon Pierce. Listen to me.”

“The end of the path you walk will eventually lead there.”

“The Lord of the Blood Cult will be happy.”

“He will make you into something you have never been before. Even if you want to become the leader of a religious cult, it is enough. Your understanding is enough. In this way, the history of all continents will be built around you.”

“Let’s go.”

“Take my hand and let’s go. I will introduce you to the leader. He will welcome you.”

“Let’s go. Where you need to be.”

Richard finished speaking with eyes still full of desire.

“I want to become a swordsman.’

Sharon’s lips, which were quietly looking down at him, moved.

“No. You will have to be punished.”

Sharon’s answer was cold.

He backed down because of that.

Although he was angry, he did not definitely end Richard’s life.

“Child, you are making such a wrong choice again.”

Richard chuckled.

“I have never seriously scolded you.”

“…….”

“Yes, it’s my first time scolding you. That would be good.”

Richard, who was lying on the floor, shot himself.

At the end, there is Ian.

“Ah.”

Sharon threw herself away.

It was just an instinctive action.

— Fuuuk

My stomach is hot.

The sword protruded beyond the pierced stomach, but it did not reach the next time.

She desperately gave strength to her stomach.

Thanks to this, Richard’s sword only broke up Sharon’s tangled organs.

“Cough.”

— Hoodduddukduk

Blood is vomited.

Still, Sharon looked at her Ian.

Sharon’s spilled blood wets Ian’s outstretched arm.

Richard’s sword did not reach him as he stood up before he knew it.

Sharon stared into Ian’s eyes.

Deep and dark.

The eyes are infinitely straight.

It was looking out into the distance, not at itself.

At the end of that gaze will be Richard.

Because the sword he wielded passed by Sharon.

So. Because it must be piercing Richard’s heart.

Ian’s resolute eyes said it all.

“… It’s a shame.”

It was disappointing.

I want to live if possible.

There is a lot to repay.

There are many things to atone for.

There are many things to consider.

… Nevertheless.

‘I guess at the end, I looked back like this.’

The corners of Sharon’s mouth rose slightly.

I realized it too late.

Because I can repay even a little bit.

From Noble mtl dot com

“…It was fortunate.”

Pure white snow fills the snowy field.

Collapsed buildings too. Blood and mistakes.

Pure white snow covers everything.

Thus, the snow is cold but warm.

Surrr.

Sharon’s eyes closed.
