4. Chersha Kalua.
***
Shoot aaagh.
The view outside the inn’s window was like a hole in the sky, as if a heavy rain was pouring down.
The sound of the rain continuously pounding on the city felt as if it continued to disturb the silence of the city dyed in the deep night.
‘Tomorrow sooner or later.’
In terms of time, there was only less than 12 hours left.
Glia After entering the city, she found out about her news about Ed, and it didn’t take long for her to find out. She found out that now that she’s got that body right, she’s no big deal.
Glead of the North.
I just asked for a few words, and most of them scrambled to answer.
That’s why the family’s family in the north is a great knight family.
The elixir you fiddle with now is useless. Rather, it was a good thing. It was really more fortunate than anything else that there was nothing wrong with his body.
“……”
I could have shortened the time I had with him just by lying in bed for a while and closing my eyes and then opening them again.
Because I was definitely looking forward to meeting him, and I’ve been waiting for it for so long.
Until now, my heart fluttered without any time, and I reacted sensitively to even small sounds out of anxiety.
Just after it arrived in a city called Glia, she certainly calmed her own heart.
The ugliness he had shown to Plea did not reappear after that, and since he himself was conscious of his ideals, he had been constantly careful, so it seemed that there was no such thing anymore.
Maybe himself.
Maybe I was thinking of him more than I thought.
“… Even if.”
It wouldn’t be strange if he couldn’t remember.
Eight years have passed before I knew it.
The things we talked about when we were young.
—-If we meet later, then I will be your knight.
When he spoke to me, he didn’t give me a proper answer, and most of all, he didn’t promise anything.
He just told me that before he left the nursery.
Really…That was all.
Even though I kept reliving those memories and recalling the contents, nothing felt like a promise.
Looking at himself and trying to engrave it in his memory, just with Ed’s image to himself, he felt that determination rather than making promises or saying anything else.
So he didn’t know that he didn’t say anything to Ed after that.
Knowing that he will leave in just a few days.
Even though I knew that I wouldn’t be able to see him for a long time after that, I couldn’t tell him anything that was inside me, even the words that I would believe in him, or that I would keep it too.
He just… Didn’t say anything.
So maybe it’s just your own memories. Or it wouldn’t be strange to consider it a promise.
Shoot aaagh.
“……”
As I gazed at the torrential rain that continued to pour, I was confident that I would end up thinking about it without even realizing it.
As if Ed can’t recall his childhood memories… Or if he doesn’t recognize himself, he won’t be hurt.
He didn’t even know he was making some sort of rationalization before meeting him.
Just looking forward to himself, and trembling with anxiety.
“Put…”
A self-deprecating laugh leaked out.
I was pathetic.
Where else could there be such a pathetic wizard?
Just a few months ago, he had reached the 5th tier and looked down at the whole world.
I was contemplating with all sorts of thoughts and strange worries before meeting someone.
My heart was so complicated that even I couldn’t understand my current heart.
Expectation, anxiety, nervousness, sadness, hesitation, and other various emotions continue to fill the heart as if branching out continuously, making it impossible to even sleep.
“mmm.”
Then, a faint smile leaked out of Plea’s face as she talked in her sleep. The ring he gave to Plea actually belonged to his ‘Memorial Artifact’.
A memorial artifact that can be called the wizard’s core.
A wizard who reached the 4th level could store his mana separately in an artifact.
It made it possible to replenish one’s lack of mana in case of emergency, or to immediately manifest a certain magic stored as a memorial artifact.
That’s why the wizards who reached the stage had the ability to respond to a crisis at least a few times, even in the face of injustice.
If he handed it over to Plea, he was afraid that perhaps he would show the same abnormality as back then and manifest the magic he had stored in the Memorial Artifact.
The rampage of wizards reaching the 5th level.
That in itself was tantamount to a disaster.
The fact that the memorial artifacts left in case of injustice act in the opposite way to him.
That’s why a normal wizard wouldn’t pass it on, even if it was his own family.
“…”
He feared nothing more than not being able to control himself.
Especially as a wizard, he had to be able to contemplate himself, but he couldn’t do it even for a moment.
Taking her eyes off her window, Chersha returned to her own bed and slowly laid her body down.
She still had her hopes and fears going on and she disturbed her own heart… But she didn’t want to mess up her reunion with him.
***
“Sir Ed!?”
“Ah.”
“Do you have any concerns?”
“Oh, no, that’s fine.”
At that answer, one of the attendants passed me by, tilting her head as if wondering. She stares blankly at it, then she herself moves on her own too.
To the drawing room she decided to visit.
Throughout the journey, I kept holding my hand without realizing it, trying to catch up with her confused mind, but it wasn’t easy.
‘Chersha Kalua.’
When I checked the time on the wall in the mansion, there were only 30 minutes left before she visited.
All of the tasks assigned to him today were either entrusted to other engineers or postponed.
Just meeting yourself.
Since nothing else was written about the reason for the Kalua family’s visit, it was the lady’s meticulous consideration that there might be additional schedules in the future.
Kikik.
I slowly entered the drawing room and checked the interior.
It looked more orderly than other times, the interior was tidy, and the atmosphere felt a bit brighter than other times.
It was a visit from a famous family, so it was obvious that he had paid special attention to it.
Sit down slowly and check yourself.
This is the first time he has personally greeted a customer, so he wears a different set of clothes. An aristocratic attire with little lace.
It doesn’t fit.
“Haa…”
With such thoughts involuntarily, I fidget with my clothes and let out a deep sigh.
Even if you consciously focus on other things, you will eventually return to the starting point.
Continuously, he was violently shaken by his alternating confused and complicated thoughts. Or maybe Chersha, the reality that she came to find herself now.
I didn’t even know that I was having a hard time accepting it.
‘…You must have remembered.’
—-If we meet later, then I will be your knight.
Her own words that…
From noble mtl dot com.
Chersha She still remembers me.
No, it’s not enough that she didn’t forget her own words when she was younger eight years ago. She is now looking for herself.
It was also a direct visit from the Eastern Mage Tower to the city of Iglia, which reached the northern end.
“…At least it’s fortunate that it’s now.”
Ed muttered bitterly with a small smile.
She even thought that maybe it was a relief that she had come to visit her now that she was at the top of her class.
In the meantime, Chersha herself, her environment was also an environment where she could not go to find her, but in fact, more than anything else, she herself had not even thought of going to find her.
ㅡ A knight who has reached the highest level.
The minimum conditions for a knight to make a contract with a wizard.
Because he hadn’t been able to meet even the minimum requirements.
So it’s not that I didn’t think of approaching Chersha actually. She hadn’t even thought of going.
The self who entered Glaade and tried to become a high-ranking knight by enduring the time of humiliation and long agony.
What was all that effort for? And yet, in fact, did he not reach the superlative level himself?
Chersha Kalua, Her I already knew about her. Just a little bit of news gave her the brief facts about her.
At that time, she herself was only 8 years old, and everything else was an advanced article.
Chersha She even earned the unimaginable title of the youngest 5th tier wizard in the history of the Mage Tower, and was far above herself.
Although she herself has only recently been able to rise to superlatives due to things like her enlightenment.
She had already reached the highest level… She had already made up her mind to continue the Glade.
She
She was a promise to Lady Asherah, and it was also a thought she made herself.
Chersha She remembered her own words, but she herself, having reached that condition only now, was no longer able to keep that promise.
Continuing Glaade.
No matter how many times he struggled with that, at the end of that agony, he couldn’t deny his will to Lady Ashera.
She was already caught up in the huge flow.
The person who saved me from that long time of humiliation and pain.
He was the person who valued himself more highly than anyone else and came closest to him.
Those… Even though he now knows all of the girl’s intentions and actions.
Now, how?
How can I…
Can I refuse Lady Ashera’s will?
……
Smart.
“This is Chersha Kalua and Plea.”
At the voice of the familiar servant, the visit time was approaching.
He then slowly checked his clothes again and refined his voice.
“…Come in.”
Ed’s voice trembled slightly as he answered.
