152 – Confrontation (4)
The two huge forces that collided rose upward like an erupting volcano and tore the sky apart, creating a scene that looked as if the sky had been torn apart.
And ironically, the two of us who were generating that force could do nothing but hold on so as not to be swayed by this force and fly away.
While holding on as best as I could to avoid being blown away by the wind, I looked at Elaine on the other side and saw that Elaine was also smiling, as if she was both amused and happy about the situation.
‘I wonder what this is like…’ .’
It’s all because of this weak body. What a funny story it is that someone is struggling because they cannot handle their own strength.
I was struggling in the torrent of power that was trying to engulf my body, trying to somehow fly forward.
Elaine, like me, struggled and slowly moved forward, and soon the tip of the spear and Jinta’s blade, which had been blocked by a huge force and had not touched each other, began to collide.
“Ugh, ugh…” !!!”
The hand holding the hilt of the sword began to tremble without my knowledge as the excruciating pain spread down my arm and throughout my body, along with the impact that felt like my bones would break.
It was the same for Elaine, whose expressionless face was distorted in pain.
However, no matter how much it hurt, she did not stop moving forward, and her hand holding the spear became stronger and stronger as time went by.
The longer the time between my Jinta and her sword spear, the sound of steel breaking was heard.
However, I did not have the time to distinguish whether this was the sound of Jinta breaking or Elaine’s sword breaking.
All I can do now is believe in Jinta and keep moving forward.
I grit my teeth, endure the pain with grit, and keep moving forward.
You cannot win by just moving forward. The fighting power of Jinta’s sword is raised like her blade and cut down her sword spear.
The skirmish that seemed to continue forever came to an end with the sound of the blade breaking.
The broken sword lance fluttered in the sky like spring cherry blossoms and fell to the ground along with Elaine. I, too, could not hold on to the sudden loss of balance and fell helplessly to the ground along with Elaine.
I was planning to reduce the shock a little by falling or something, but it didn’t work out as I had used up too much fighting spirit and stamina due to the close fight a little while ago.
“Wow!!!”
As I plummeted to the ground without a proper fall plan, my head started spinning and my vision began to blur.
But I couldn’t lose my mind yet.
Breaking the spear does not mean the game is won. I forced my sore body up and went out to look for Elaine, who had fallen somewhere in the forest.
Luckily, Elaine fell and a huge hole was created, so it wasn’t that difficult to find Elaine.
When I went down the pit and saw Elaine lying on the ground, her entire body was covered in blood and I doubted whether she was really alive.
I quickly took out the recovery potion that Hori had brought me a few days before the trip and poured it into Elaine’s mouth.
It’s not a great potion that instantly heals wounds on the body, but it’s better than doing nothing.
However, perhaps because she fainted, Elaine was unable to drink the potion poured into her mouth.
I had no choice but to put the potion in my mouth and kiss Elaine and give her the potion myself.
I guess my efforts had some results. Not long after I gave her the potion, Elaine opened her eyes with blurry eyes, like someone who had just woken up from sleep.

Elaine looked at me blankly without saying anything for a while, but then she cautiously opened her mouth as if she had grasped the situation.
“…… “Did I lose?”
“I guess so, how do you feel?”
“…… “It’s the best and the worst.”
After those short words, Elaine closed her eyes with a gentle expression as if she was falling asleep again.
I fell asleep again as soon as I woke up, but it’s not like my breathing is irregular or anything like that, so I guess I can just let him rest like this.
I picked up Elaine, who had fallen to the ground, and walked towards the direction of the carriage so that she could lie down in a comfortable place.
As I was heading towards the carriage, I suddenly looked around and saw that the sword that was stuck like a tombstone and the hill that was full of flowers had collapsed along with the hill, turning into a truly miserable sight.
Even as the hill collapsed and all the flowers and swords flew away, the huge sword stuck in the hill remained intact, showing a little of the strength of the sword spirit.
‘… ‘It’s so messed up.’
When I looked around and remembered the mysterious scene before the fight, I felt sad, but what could I do now?
Just because I’m sad doesn’t mean that the Sword Tomb, which is already a mess, will return to its original state.
“… ….”
As we walked to the shoulder of the road where the carriage was parked holding Elaine, everyone except one person was looking at us with fear in their eyes.
“…… “It seems like he had quite a bit of fun, seeing as he ran around like a madman without paying any attention to his surroundings.”
“Yes, it was a lot of fun.”
I ignored Jessica’s sarcasm without any thought and added something to Jessica, who was still glaring at me, right before I laid Elaine down in the carriage.
“Ah, but it’s not like I didn’t care about anything. “I thought about Jessica, so she fought from above.”
“… “It would be a mistake to think that I would just ignore her lip service forever.”
Even as she said that, her face turned slightly red, and it seemed like it would affect her a few more times in the future.
“Then shall we go now?”
The purpose of coming here had now been achieved, so there was no reason to stay in the Tomb of the Sword any longer.
Just before she left this place, receiving the fear and awe-filled looks of those around her, I noticed the sword spirit glaring at us from a distance, and I waved her hand and waved her farewell.
“Goodbye!! “I’ll come again next time!!”
“Don’t come!!! “Don’t come!!!”
They say a strong negative is a strong positive, so it definitely means you can come back.
I will never have to say goodbye to my beloved swords again, but I still have good memories here.
I climbed onto the carriage, secretly promising myself that I would definitely come back someday.

“Come on, Aang!”
“Ah….”
The wounds from that fight must have been so deep that Elaine was unable to straighten up even after a few days, so I had no choice but to stand by her side and help her.
It wasn’t that he was so weak that he couldn’t even lift a spoon, but he was still not in perfect condition, so I’m still feeding him next to him.
Maybe because its mouth is so small, even if I fed it a little, it seemed cute as it puffed out its cheeks and gulped down the food, as if it were feeding a squirrel.
In addition to this, I tried to provide other help such as washing the body, going to the bathroom, etc., But Jessica, who was next to me, made a fuss, so I had no choice but to leave that to Jessica.
Jessica must have been so jealous of me taking care of another woman that she glared at me fiercely whenever I was around Elaine.
Even now, he was glaring at me while I was feeding Elaine, but I don’t know if it was my first time, but I’ve been doing this for a few days, so I don’t mind anymore.
Jessica glared at me for a while, and then clicked her tongue and walked out of the tent, apparently not liking the way I cared for Elaine with utmost sincerity.
I tried to catch her as she left, but Elaine opened her mouth like a baby bird and urged her to do so, so she sat back down again.
“I’m full now…” .”
Elaine opened her mouth to urge the next, but Elaine couldn’t eat much after that and closed her mouth.
I don’t know if she has no appetite because of the injury, or if she just has a short mouth, but Elaine hasn’t eaten properly for the past few days.
Considering that she is short, unlike her younger sister, Rain, it seems likely that she is the latter, but seeing her not being able to eat made me worry.
“Are you feeling sleepy?”
“Yes….”
A few minutes after finishing her meal, Elaine opened her eyes brightly and asked, Elaine nodded and slowly laid her body down.
It’s not good to lie down right after eating, but it would have been better to let her sleepy than to force her to wake up.
After warming Elaine with her blanket, I carefully came out of the tent so as not to wake Elaine.
“… Huh?”
As she came out of the tent, she saw Jessica crying sadly, sitting at the base of a fan tree while making a bonfire.
“Jessica, why are you crying?”
“It’s noisy…. You quickly go to Miss Elaine….”
Jessie Kahn did not show her face until the end and just screamed in a sobbing voice telling her to go quickly.
This is my first time in a relationship, but I had a feeling that if I left after saying that, I would be in really big trouble.
‘But what should I do?’
But even if I were to stay here, the only way to make a woman stop crying is to knock her out and prevent her from crying.
However, it is not possible to knock out a crying Jessica and force her to stop crying.
As I was thinking about what to do as I approached Jessica’s side, I placed my hand on Jessica’s small shoulder and jumped over her like I was jumping over a vault.
“Heavy rain!!”
“…… !!”
At that moment, Jessica, who didn’t know what had happened, forgot to cover her face and looked at me with a blank expression, but for a moment, she realized what I had just done and jumped up and ran towards me.
“What kind of joke are you playing in this situation?”
“Jessica!! Are you mad?!!”
“Then you don’t look angry!!!”
It was an impromptu action, but it was successful in making Jessica stop crying.
But… It just made me angry….
“Stand there!! “Stand there!!”
“hehehe!! Catch me!!”
