44 – Getting closer or farther away
Where was this place. Oh, right. That’s where you came from
A time when Enlil was still incomplete. The moment when I still wanted death rather than life.
This is a place that reminded me of a rest I had forgotten or had been putting off.
From the perspective of Leon, it was for Enlil’s mana stability.
I brought you here with an excuse to subconsciously make you feel comfortable.
“That’s the place I visited last time.”
“It feels like it was yesterday when I first came here, but it has already been several months.”
Having said that, Enlil slumps down in her seat.
In the past, when I asked to take a break, only my eyes blinked.
Why are you wasting time like this instead of training? She was asking with a look in her eyes.
Now, ahead of Leon, he was sitting on the grass and looking around.
“….”
Rion, who was looking at Enlil, also put her hip next to her.
This place isn’t ruined yet. It was still just as it had been then, quiet and peaceful.
A wide green field with a gentle breeze blowing a little more heat than before.
The glitter has become stronger, but the sunlight is more warm than hot.
A place where even though some flowers have fallen, other flowers have bloomed instead.
Only the scenery has changed since the beginning of spring.
“Is it because it is early summer? Back then it was colorful, but now it’s all green.”
“Is the sun a bit hot?”
“It’s not really hot, but you don’t have that kind of energy, you know….”
Pak!―
Suddenly, something spreads out beside you and blocks the sunlight embracing the heat.
It’s like a parasol, so it can be plugged into the ground and fixed.
Should I call it a parasol? Maybe it’s kind of like that.
I looked at this because I wanted something, and Enlil ah! And she exclaims.
“The last time I went out into the city, it can be hot in the summer, so I heard that this would help.”
“….”
“Did I buy something strange?”
No. It’s not because I bought something weird, it’s just that the behavior itself is surprising.
Leone, who mumbled her words in her mouth, just shook her head.
“Good. I don’t know if it’s the spring sun, but the summer sun is a bit hot.”
“I’m glad. I was worried that I would get scolded for buying something strange.”
“If anyone hears it, they will know that I often mistreat you.”
“When you train, you do a lot.”
This is also a different part from before. It’s such an easy joke and joke.
At the time, I was busy just training and getting closer.
At that time, Enlil’s appearance looked very urgent and dangerous.
He felt like he couldn’t stand it any longer and would break if he didn’t act quickly.
Now all that sign has disappeared and we are moving forward vigorously.
I turn my head slightly to the side. Enlil smiles blankly and looks around.
As he looks at him, his playfulness is subtly stirred.
“So. How long are you going to sleep on my back again today?”
“Eh? Ah! I-I’m sorry about that!”
If I had just fallen asleep, I wouldn’t have been so flustered.
Leaning on my back, I slept for hours instead of just a few minutes.
Thanks to that, Leon was able to sit still.
Those who have used their bodies a lot will know that.
It’s much harder to stay still than to move.
I feel like I’m screaming because all the muscles in my body get together.
It would be nice if I could free myself, but not being able to do that is almost torture.
It was like forcing Leon to do that without even realizing it.
And Leon was willing to do that to himself, who had just met him.
From Enlil’s point of view, of course, it was a part that I couldn’t help but feel sorry for.
“What an apology. I’m just asking.”
“I won’t sleep tonight!”
“Really?”
“Yes! I am… Ugh!?”
A strange scream came out of Enlil’s mouth.
Screams that are too bizarre to even think of themselves. But I couldn’t help it.
First of all, Leon grabbed her by the shoulder and forced her to cut her knee.
“….”
Enlil could not accept the reality. At first, I wondered what this was.
From noble mtl dot com
The way her body lay on her side, the way she felt Leon’s gaze above her head.
“… Hick!”
She then realized her own situation and tried to stand up right away, but she couldn’t help it.
Enlil wiggles her arms as Leon presses her head.
‘Make it happen! Instructor! Let me wake up!’ I beg.
I go back to my place at Leon’s actions, saying he had no intention of doing that.
“Hey, over there. Instructor? Why are you like this….”
“It means sleeping and serving as a pillow yourself.”
Her rest will strengthen her tired body.
And her peace of mind will further stimulate the already settled mana fusion.
In that sense, sleeping next to a familiar place, familiar person is the most appropriate choice.
It was Leon’s idea, and she turned that decision into her own actions.
‘And these scars are also a problem.’
In the last full moon, Enlil succeeded in inflicting certain damage.
A fairly large sword scar on her arm keeps piercing her sense of pain.
As before. Recovery is not going well. Her blood is still seeping out.
She even tried to harm herself inside and outside the tower just in case.
In that case, she was horribly injured and immediately recovered.
She was only slowly getting better from the damage she suffered from the hero.
Then, when Enlil notices her injury, she becomes very embarrassed.
I’ll tell you someday, but not now. It’s time for her to hide deeper now.
So he forced me to kneel down and induce him to lose his mind.
Perhaps this woman is just rolling her eyes, wondering what to do.
Unexpectedly, my arm on top of her moved slightly unnaturally.
It’s much safer to do this than hide her arms for nothing suspicious.
‘I won’t be able to sit back and relax from now on.’
I wondered when that day would ever come, but it really did come.
Now I cannot sit on the throne and greet Enlil. She has to stand up and fight.
Only then will a situation be created where you can die at the end of the battle.
Mediocre acting doesn’t work. It won’t work if you do it casually and lose.
TOP is not an idiot. As if proving that he is a fragment of chaos, he is watching with both eyes open.
Is that guy really fighting and dying, or is he trying to die?
‘If the number of injuries increases, then I’ll have to spill some rice cakes.’
I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Wouldn’t it be better than the end of the world?
“What do you think?”
When I told him to sleep, it was Enlil who was looking at Rion with brighter eyes.
Rion said it was no big deal and lightly fed honey chestnuts to Enlil’s head as a joke.
“Ouch.”
“You were very shy just before, but now you are relaxed enough to take care of me, right?”
“Your instructor said rest is also training. So, to put it mildly, I am training hard right now. In the meantime, I’m also looking at the instructor’s reaction.”
Why did Enlil all over the world have such a long tongue? Leon smiled and smiled.
That’s not bad. Rather, it can be said that it is a good change.
Now Enlil is much better than being wrapped up tightly and moaning.
“What were you thinking? Well If I had to say it, it would be something later.”
“If you say it will be later….”
“Enlil, when you really fell the owner of the tower and brought down that tower. I was thinking about what you and I would be doing when the time came.”
Enlil, who was on Leon’s knee, trembled.
It was a story that I had never even thought of.
“You look surprised.”
“Honestly… I was a bit surprised.”
“Why? Can’t you imagine that at all? You’re doing great. Isn’t it time to start thinking about that possibility?”
Whenever you say you’re happy that you gave a meaningful blow.
To think of what happened after defeating the owner of the tower was such a reaction.
“You still can’t imagine winning?”
“Not yet. It’s too much. Still.”
“But the possibility must have gone up a lot compared to before.”
At Leon’s question, Enlil nodded her head.
Certainly, as he said, you can carefully imagine such things now.
Because we are improving day by day. Because I see places I thought I would never be able to reach.
However, what is the reason why I don’t have that idea?
“… Instructor Leon, what kind of future are you thinking about?”
“You will become a true warrior who saved the world. I will make his name known to the whole world. Become the most shining being. Okay. It will be.”
A shining being. At that word, Enlil tilted his head for a moment.
This line seems to be similar to what someone somewhere keeps repeating.
“And I. Hmm… will be one of the two Either stay here or return to my world.”
“You’re dying?”
It was an answer that was enough to turn all my thoughts so far into white.
A startled Enlil tried to raise himself, but was again stopped by Lion.
“What are you so surprised about? You can go back.”
“Why! If you remain here, as the one who taught me, the great teacher….”
“What is Master? Just an instructor And I might miss my hometown too.”
Longing. To that answer Enlil could say nothing more.
As a person, how can I miss my hometown?
