204 – 40. Arthur
Sister-in-law.
Only after hearing those words did Lane realize who the woman in front of her was.
‘…… ‘This is the face I saw in Namgoong Min’s past.’
It is the regret that Namgoong Min left behind in the other world, and the goal of his life up until now.
His younger sister, Namgoong Jisu.
However, there was a reason why I finally realized who she was.
…… In the past, Namgoong Jisoo was just an ordinary younger sister who did not even have a job.
“What is this…?”
“Well, you know that poor junior, so you can tell. How does this sword look?”
“……Holy sword?”
Even though he answered on his own, Lucas hesitated several times.
It was because it made no sense according to common sense.
Is an exclusive skill for the special occupation , And since Lucas has seen his skill many times, he clearly remembers its brilliance.
Nevertheless, the sword that Namgoong Min’s younger sister possessed was clearly a holy sword.
It is also a holy sword that emits a more intense light than the Abel Legion.
‘Younger sister, younger sister.’
I heard about it from Namgoong Min, but this is my first time seeing it in person.
As her older brother Namgoong Min is also quite handsome, I thought her younger sister would also be as good-looking as Lucas and Lane’s relationship.
I think this is prettier than Lily──
‘…… No. Lucas, are you crazy? ‘Is that what you thought when you saw her friend’s sister in this situation?’
Do you mean that your brain has been taken over by love since Lily?
Lucas, who was heartbroken, gathered his composure for now. It’s okay to ask Namgoong Min about things like phone numbers or photos later.
First of all, let’s start with where we are.
Lucas winked at Lane, and she sighed for a moment before stepping in front of her.
Even if the opponent was her future sister-in-law, Lane Arthur was always confident. She clearly faced Namgoong Jisoo without any hesitation.
“Sister-in-law, can you tell me where this is?”
“…That’s quite polite.”
“It’s good that we don’t have to blush when we’re part of Mirae’s family. I’ve always been very indebted to Namgoong Min.”
“I know. Because I was watching.”
“…What?”
“I know that you stare at the arm in your room every day, and that you are shamelessly thinking of hurting your brother.”
Stop.
Rain approached Namgoong Jisoo with a very kind and benevolent voice and stopped her laughing.
The words of seeing, Hector’s arm, and Lane’s secret plan.
All of that, how?
“Tsk, I guess it’s still too much. It’s already gone.”
“Uh, huh!? Sis, sister-in-law. Your legs…?”
“Don’t worry. I’m just an illusion here, so there’s no problem. The only problem is that we don’t have enough time to talk.”
“Time?”
“Okay. What is it that you say you’re a god and can only meet inside the gate? I did a good job of bringing that bastard down, even if you think about it… Anyway.”
Though words passed by that could not easily be overlooked.
Namgung Jisoo, who seemed to be one level higher, was holding her holy sword and was staring at Rain, so even she could no longer ask anything of her.
At the same time, Lane was able to recognize the emotions in Namgoong Jisoo’s eyes.
‘Day…… ‘I hate you.’
Hate, disgust, absurdity, anger.
All kinds of rich emotions have melted into Namgung Jisoo’s eyes, and he is letting them overflow without any intention of hiding them.
Namgoong Jisoo regarded Lane as unworthy.
Why?
‘…… ‘Have you ever called me step-sister?’
Of course, this is the first time that Lane and Namgoong Jisoo meet. That said, Rain knows very little about her Jisoo, but for some reason, Namgoong Jisoo knows Lane pretty well. She even has her secrets.
However, the two have something in common: Namgoong Min. Lane was able to find her Jisoo’s sense of incongruity there.
Rain calls Jisoo his sister-in-law, but Jisoo does not call her properly.
It was clear what the difference was.
‘Are you saying you won’t admit it?’
Rain’s eyes changed slightly when he noticed him.
Namgoong Jisoo’s permission is not necessarily required for her to marry Namgoong Min, but if she supports another b*tch, it’s a different story.
Namgoong Jisoo’s support will have a big impact on Namgoong Min.
A is Namgoong Jisoo, and B is Lane.
But Rain humbly accepted the difference and looked at Namgoong Jisoo.
Did she realize the meaning contained in that gaze?
Namgung Jisoo clicked her tongue for a moment and followed her words.
“I’ll leave out all unnecessary words and keep it simple.”
“As much as you want, sister-in-law.”
“We must kill the principal.”
“……………….”
Leaving Lucas and Lane frozen.
Namgoong Jisoo speaks casually.
“As you can see from our meeting like this, I am not an ordinary person. I have become a slightly higher person. Thanks to that, I am able to see the future.”
“Seeing the future…?”
“I saw your future. A future in which you vehemently denied and hated her principal, but ultimately failed to kill her. A future in which you only destroyed her principal’s ugly creations and imprisoned her forever. “
“……………….”
“But the principal was so vengeful that she somehow escaped and killed her brother. Of course, that’s not the future we all want.”
“Well, that is.”
“Yes, you. In the end, you were the problem. Even though you talked about the obvious past and being emotional, in the end, you were swayed by emotions and could not kill the principal.”
“……….”
“If your brother dies, you won’t have to call me your sister-in-law, right? I went to great lengths to meet you so that something like that would never happen.”
Indeed.
It was an outrageous statement.
This is the mother that Lane has been looking for for over 10 years. She had only found out a little while ago that the mother was actually the principal, and that she did not in fact think of Raine as her daughter, but rather as her experiment.
I missed it for 10 years, but it took less than an hour for it all to be betrayed.
‘So, isn’t it okay to give it a little more time?’
To be able to have a proper conversation with the principal and her mother.
So that we can consider between longing and betrayal and come up with a clear answer.
At least enough time to reattach Lane’s torn memories and heart.
It’s okay to give something.
“…It wasn’t.”
“That’s all I have to say. Don’t even think about sending the principal out of your dream. If you really love your brother, wouldn’t you be able to do that much?”
“……………….”
“W-Wait a minute. Those words were so sudden──”
“Ah, Lucas Artur, right? Thank you for being a friend to my brother. Because of me, my brother’s interpersonal relationships have become a bit narrow.”
“Huh? Huh.”
“But that’s it. I’m sorry, but I can clearly see your thoughts. It may seem like things have changed, but falling in love right away is still the same.”
“Now, wait!”
“Lucas Arthur, I’m sorry, but you will never remember me… And you.”
“……Sister-in-law.”
“It was a short and unpleasant meeting.”
──Let’s not see each other again.
And.
The pure white space blinked even whiter.
*
“……Ah.”
The blinking vision returns.
It was so pure white that nothing could be seen, but for a moment, a flickering rainbow light caught Lane’s eyes.
I woke up from a dream.
Immediately after realizing that fact, I felt drowsy and quickly looked around her.
“Ugh, the head…”
“Oh, brother?”
“Rain…Wait a minute…”
When an unknown magic appears at Lucas’s fingertips, the drowsiness that had invaded his mind disappears.
Rain, who had barely avoided falling into a lucid dream again, looked at Lucas.
“…Oppa, what do you think about what I just said?”
“Huh? Ah…Yeah. You’re not too shocked, are you?”
“Huh?”
“Principal… I’ll leave it to you to decide what to do with her mother, Raine. I’m sure you’ll make the right choice.”
“……………….”
Words don’t work properly.
Only then did Lane notice that Lucas had completely forgotten about their meeting just moments ago.
──Lucas Arthur, I’m sorry, but you will never remember me.
‘…… ‘You really made me forget my memories?’
I knew it was strange from the moment he held the holy sword and showed off his unusual energy.
If he arbitrarily intervenes in a lucid dream and erases Lucas’ memories.
Are you saying you can become a male god?
‘If so…… ….’
“…Mother.”
The principal hasn’t woken up yet.
It is almost impossible to wake up on your own from a lucid dream, but it is not that difficult if you are a person of the level of a school principal.
Just like Lane and Lucas saw, they are probably still caught up in a lifetime from the past.
However, it wouldn’t take long. There’s no way she would be able to deal with her principal if he woke up.
In other words, the only opportunity was now.
The principal……… To kill.
‘Mother…… She didn’t consider me a daughter. To her, I was just her experiment, a candidate for her mother to give birth to a monster like that black lump of hers.’
Behind the principal, the disgusting black thing that is still gurgling comes into view.
Rain was able to find out who was in there now with his
Superpower.
An infinitely familiar yet unpleasant energy.
…… Was now the parent body of that black color.
But it wouldn’t have been strange if Lane was there.
Naturally, feelings of betrayal, anger, and revenge burn.
‘But…… Even though it was just an act, I was able to survive because I had my mother. Thanks to her warm memories, I was able to endure my education and enter the Romance Academy…….’
They say hypocrisy is also good.
These were the words that best fit Lane’s current contradiction.
Her principal had never been kind to her, and only saw her as her experiment.
Lane was able to survive her childhood thanks to her acting and the way she was treated. That’s why she was able to wait patiently until the opportunity came.
…… You can turn your eyes as much as you want.
After I realized it, it was because of the contradiction that was infinitely unpleasant.
Rain hesitated several times.
“……………….”
It is actually simple to stop breathing.
The principal, who does not have a , Can break her neck with even a little supernatural power.
In the end, it was all Lane’s choice.
It was entirely her responsibility.
My breathing becomes difficult and I break into a cold sweat.
You either kill your mother, or Namgoong Min must die.
The moment when Lane let out a deep breath at the weight of her choice.
Tick.
“…Ah.”
A tarot card that she had kept dear in her arms falls at her feet.
Major Arcana No. 6, .
Every time I felt depressed, I looked at that card or stroked it to get through it, and it was still Lane’s most precious treasure.
I secretly looked into its detailed meaning to see if it had another meaning.
‘The Card is…… It means marriage, empathy, harmony, affection, and choice…….’
That’s just the straight story that Namgoong Min gave to Lane.
The tarot card that has just fallen is…… It was in reverse.
‘……… Broken trust, capriciousness, fleeting pleasure…….’
“Ah.”
A tarot card just fell at her toes.
Namgoong Min didn’t hit it, and it wasn’t Lane’s intention.
Rather, Lane felt that her head became clearer.
The reverse version of Came out between her and her principal.
“You’re letting me know about my whims. Namgoong Min always, always helps me.”
With a soft smile, Raine picked up the Card and carefully placed it in her arms.
Suddenly, I burst into laughter.
I thought about it so much, but it’s so funny that I decided to do it because of just one tarot card.
But now that I think about it, didn’t it all start with a tarot card?
At first, she followed Namgoong Min because she suspected him of being Liu’s subordinate, and got caught up in his skills at the fortune teller she arrived at.
One of the Cards.
That one card created her relationship with Namgoong Min, saved her, and made her stand in this position.
“……Oppa.”
“Have you decided…?”
“Yes.”
So.
Ending the ending with this card…… It didn’t seem that bad.
From Noble mtl dot com
Is it said that it is Sumi Sang-gwan?
Some people may not understand.
Rein Arthur has an understandable ending.
*
Clink.
It was like the sound of glass breaking.
On the surface, it seemed like such a simple thing.
Completely destroying the entrance to ‘Dream of Dreams’.
“……Rain.”
“Are you satisfied, Oppa?”
“Well…Okay. But I’ll trust it because it’s your choice. It won’t be that difficult to buy the area around Mongjungmong.”
“…Thank you.”
Everyone was on the boat we came on.
Rain, who looked back at Namgoong Min for a moment, looked back at his dream.
That gate is distorted and distorted, and will never open again.
“……Mom, this is my last greeting.”
With her tarot cards, she cut the tendons in her hands and feet with her own hands.
Even if I woke up again in a lucid dream, I would fall asleep again before I could use magic with those hands and feet.
I had injuries to my vocal cords, so I wouldn’t be able to chant.
“I missed my mom. She was able to hold on because of her mom. She was able to sleep because of her mom. She was able to not give up because of her mom….”
I left the Card by my side.
It has magic and supernatural powers engraved on it, so it should be enough to at least disrupt the principal’s magic.
In particular, the principal’s insomnia magic would have been difficult to use properly unless the card was damaged because Lucas had left the spell of destruction engraved on a tarot card.
And within the dream.
Nothing rots or disappears.
“But I wasn’t a daughter to my mother. I wasn’t a good daughter, a bad daughter, a daughter she wanted to see, or a daughter she didn’t want to see. I was just an experiment. The warmth my mom gave me was just that. .”
With the help of Liu and Kim Seong-il, I left behind all kinds of artifacts.
Some of them were considered imperial treasures, and the headmaster’s drowsy body would not be able to penetrate the already distorted entrance to the dream.
“So she wants to be filial to the extent of her warmth. She left her mother’s work where it was. I hope you two get along well.”
I did everything I could.
I didn’t just kill him.
She cried and apologized to Namgoong Min, but Namgoong Min only gave her a sincere smile.
Like the trust I always gave to Lane.
“Or else…”
Is this truly a merciful response?
Wouldn’t it be more hellish to rot inside that gate for a lifetime than to be killed?
In a lucid dream, you wake up and fall asleep again and again.
A world where when you open your eyes, all you see is black lumps.
Maybe it’s worse than dying.
“…May you live in sweet dreams for the rest of your life.”
So Lane hoped the principal would give up.
May she wander forever in a lucid dream and live in her own world.
I hope you live alone like that.
To me, you were a longing too great to kill, and a pain too great to keep alive.
Make the dream of the dream your tomb.
To this fate. On a whim. In trust. In relationships. In love and hate. To betrayal. To the experiment.
We are putting an end to it.
“…Hello, Mom.”
It was my everything.
The person who destroyed everything.
