Springtime (6)
What surprised Rebecca more than anyone was Agnes.
No, to be precise, I was more surprised by the fact that I called a saint by her first name rather than Rebecca’s appearance.
“Deron… Is it okay to call the saint’s name at will?”
“Because I allowed it.”
It was Rebecca who answered Agnes’ question. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Agnes and me.
Her eyes widened after I saw that my left arm was attached.
Rebecca let out a short but bold scream of surprise.
“De, Deron. The left arm?”
“Oh, come to think of it, you didn’t tell me this. You went and your left arm was attached again.”
“what?”
Rebecca ran up to me and grabbed me by the arm. The saint’s grip strength, whose physical abilities have been strengthened due to divine power, was hard to bear no matter how strong I was.
Rebecca stared intently at her left arm, not even confirming that I was grimacing. Her eyes gradually widened.
“No way… Really?”
Rebecca looked around her left arm in a nonsensical tone. I think her calculations are wrong.
Aside from that, my arm continued to hurt.
It was no ordinary pain. It felt like the part that was attached to the magi was constantly stabbed like a needle.
The cross hanging from Rebecca’s chest was shining brightly.
I’m not sure, but it must have something to do with that cross.
It was none other than Agnes who broke the arm of Rebecca, who was muttering to herself.
She said as she separated Rebecca’s arm.
“I’d like you to stop.”
“What, what?”
Rebecca tried to slap Agnes’s hand away, but Agnes’s grip was not negligible either.
The mana flowing through her body was similar to that of Lenoch.
The body strengthened by magic was able to rub against Rebecca’s body to some extent.
But do you even want to increase your magic power?
“I don’t know why the saint is interested in Deron’s body, but Deron was suffering.”
“Is Deron sick?”
At Agnes’ words, Rebecca opened her eyes and looked at me.
I shake off Rebecca’s hand and widen the distance between them.
“I don’t know why you have to make a fuss over this. You two get away.”
When I was in the middle, the two of them looked at each other while falling one step at a time.
I looked at them for a moment and then scratched my head.
I don’t intend to interfere with their relationship, but it’s a bit difficult if they’re not on good terms like this.
It doesn’t matter as long as you flirt like the last time, but if the conflict deepens like this, there is a possibility that it can become annoying.
In the end, as long as there are common enemies, we have to cooperate.
And both of them have bad pasts.
Well actually that’s it.
I asked while turning a dagger by magic.
“Weren’t you in the church? Seeing you come back so quickly, it looks like you’ve got the job done.”
“Are you dissatisfied with me coming back early?”
“I never said anything like that.”
What kind of nonsense is it all of a sudden?
She tilted her head, unable to grasp the true meaning of Rebecca’s words.
“Otherwise.”
Rebecca said with a smile.
Agnes’ gaze turned to her. He wants to open his mouth right away, but he seems to be holding back.
I sighed as I looked around the two men having a snowball fight.
Eyes are gradually gathering around them.
It’s a vacation, so even if there aren’t many students yet, there are still people there.
And some of them will come to this trail.

Judging by the sound of the chattering noise or the appearance of popularity, it is certain that people are coming.
I guess I’ll have to relocate.
Because the probability of spreading good rumors by showing such a situation converges to zero.
There is a use that I have to introduce.
**
[So you brought me here?]
“Because this is the quietest place to have a conversation.”
[Are we all listening?]
“I’ll be polite to that extent.”
[It’s very shameful. you?]
“It’s the first I’ve ever heard of it.”
I glanced at Lepero, the highest level spirit who kicked his tongue out of absurdity.
He was the one who gave me permission to build Lennock’s dungeon and brought me here for a while.
It was decided that there was no way to deny the entrance of the saint and the successor of Lennoch.
Lepero looked at the bonfire in the distance.
Near the campfire were Agnes and Rebecca, glaring at each other.
Although the two were surprised that such a place existed in this forest, they did not hide their guard against each other.
Lepero watched the scene and muttered a little.
[The two of us were also qualified, so we let them in, but do you know that we shouldn’t be stumbling around like this?]
“I do not know. Is there any reason you need to know?”
[you… . not.]
Repero looked at me with pathetic eyes, but he didn’t care.
No, it would be more accurate to say that I didn’t have time to worry about that.
The magic of his arms, which had been in a period of stagnation so far, was shaking little by little.
Until now, it was a subtle movement, so I didn’t mind it, but somehow it felt strange.
I get the feeling that this fluctuating needle is not a simple phenomenon.
“It’s comfortable because the activity time is long.”
“I opened it up by talking to these two over there. It’s not like I’m rambling like this.”
“Am I with them?”
Aksi pointed to Rebecca and Agnes, and I nodded.
“Shit.”
After saying that, Akshi headed towards the two of them without further arguing.
Rebecca and Agnes seemed bewildered when they saw Akshi suddenly appeared.
But for a while, the three of them sat in front of the bonfire and talked.
I don’t know what kind of conversation we’re talking about with blushing in the middle, but it’s probably right to be satisfied with what we’re talking about.
“Ugh.”

Just as I was about to join the campfire, Lepero changed his body and approached me.
It was in the form of a small boy, but the image was clearly different from the giant wolf he had ever used.
No, is anyone humanizing these days?
Repero, who felt my gaze, made a sad expression on his face.
“Well, this is my original form.”
“Then what is the shape of the wolf?”
“There are so many people who ignore him when he looks like a child. It hasn’t been like that since turning into a giant wolf.”
Lepero said so and sat on a rock in a jump with short legs.
I looked at Repero without saying anything.
It felt like he had something to say to me.
And the feeling wasn’t wrong.
“You really look like Lennock.”
“What do you mean?”
“There are good sides and there are bad sides. Which one would you like to hear first?”
“The bad side.”
Lepero smiled and pointed to the campfire.
“They are your weakness.”
“… ?”
Agnes, Rebecca, and even Aksi.
I couldn’t understand why they were my weakness.
Lepero looked at me for a moment and then added.
“Of course, there are many more advantages, though.”
“Then what are the downsides?”
“Do you know what they are thinking of you?”
As I pondered Lepero’s question, I finally came to a conclusion.
I don’t know.
It’s not like I went into and out of those three minds, how did I know that?
Agnes and I were simply friendly and giving advice, and I think Rebecca takes good care of me.
In the case of Aksi, the relationship could not be clearly established.
Because that dragon always felt sorry for me.
When I replied that I didn’t know, Lepero opened his mouth with a thin nose.
“Hmm. It’s different from Lennock in that respect.”
“It seems that the story of Lennock keeps coming up.”
“Because I am so similar to you. Lennock was just like you. However, she knew the hearts of the people around her. And I knew I would embrace it all.”
Saying that, Repero’s eyes contained some memories.
Lennock was such a great person that I still miss him even after several hundred years have passed.
Despite being in the same possessor, the achievements she achieved had an impact on me as well.
I looked down at my hand involuntarily.
The cut flesh and scars on my hands are the traces I have walked so far.
After being possessed by a sickly dead end, he fought dozens of battles before reaching a higher level, and overcame several hurdles.
But the biggest hurdle still remains.
Devil.
An existence that could come one day, or even now.
clenched his fist
Lepero looked at the fist for a moment and said,
“The good thing is, first of all, that talent.”
“I’ve heard that story so many times that I get tired of it.”
“You hear a lot of bad luck, don’t you?”
When I nodded, Lepero said he knew it, and smiled.
“Lennock transformed the profession of a magic swordsman. I’m going to put it together. It’s not impossible. It has been a story before.”
He paused for a moment and then said:
“But you are different. You don’t combine like Lennock, you absorb all your skills. To put it bluntly, it would be correct to call it a transformation.”
“It’s a transformation.”
“Yeah, transformation. Spirit, Magido, Mana, and Aura. It’s a talent that only you can handle.”
Repero’s finger touches my hand.
“Besides, he received the blood of a dragon and was born with an innate spirit and energy, so it was a talent that was given by heaven. You could call him a genius.”
Without answering his words, I looked up at the sky.
Then I saw the sky where the red sunset began to color the horizon. The sun filled the sky with its last light, always hinting at the death of the light.
For that moment, there was only the sun in the sky.
The clouds that floated up, and the birds that occasionally fly across the sky.
All of them were assimilated into the sun and facing the light.
And even if it was an earthly existence, it was no different.
Twilight. sunset. sunset. end. death. end. sergeant.
Words that hinted at the end of something ran through my mind.
“Isn’t that a nice view?”
Repero said that it was a landscape that he painstakingly inscribed, and boasted that he selected parts of the most beautiful sky for hundreds of years and arranged them like scrolls.
“okay.”
I didn’t bother to deny it.
