195 – EP.34 The Forgotten Past-9

My whole body shakes.

I could only hear the sound of the wind blowing in my ears, and my skin hurt from the slap of the wind.

It wasn’t easy even to keep my body steady due to the wind that was stronger than before, but I was still slowly moving forward step by step.

It seemed better to go back now, but I, stupid, decided to go all the way.

There is a saying that if the head is bad, the body suffers, but now my mind is suffering because of my body that moves freely.

‘The situation will only get worse as time passes, so why are you doing this… ….’

[That must be why she is worried.]

‘Who cares about who? The most useless thing in the world is worrying about Shinsoo.’

[While saying that, wouldn’t he have gone out the same way if he had been here?]

‘That’s because I don’t have such a weak body in real life. A typhoon is nothing if you use Tia’s ability.’

If you create an air barrier by reversing the flow of air around you, you should be able to walk comfortably even in a typhoon.

It’s just a pity that I don’t have that ability right now.

Because there are bound to be disasters that cannot be dealt with due to lack of strength.

“Eww?!”

A sheet of newspaper fluttering in the wind and rain stuck to my face.

Of course, I was taken aback by the cold feeling I felt all over my face and the darkened vision.

I moved around and tried to remove the newspaper from my face with my hands, but the water-soaked newspaper could hardly be removed.

I managed to twist my body and drop the newspaper, but I quickly sat down on the floor.

“Heo Eok… ! Heo-eok… !”

Right next to me was a sloping rice field, so it was clear that if I had moved a little further to the right, I would have fallen off the cliff.

If it were an adult’s body, slipping would only result in minor injuries, but now it’s a child’s body.

There was a risk of serious injury if you tripped on a slope while blind.

My legs were trembling as if I was thinking similarly to the young me now.

“Ugh… ! This is not the time for this. Gotta go… !”

Even though I went through a rather frightening experience, I chose the option to move forward without giving up.

A strong attitude and tenacious persistence are highly evaluated.

Even though it’s in my childhood, I’m happy to see my mental strength.

Until a while ago, I complained that I was acting useless, but now that I’m at this point, I’m rooting for myself.

“Ha ha! Ha! If you get over here… !”

The entrance to the village that I finally arrived at, struggling through the wind with my small body.

The soil that was carried away by the landslide piled up one by one to create a high hill.

And in front of the hill, a yellow sign was scattered across the floor.

[Danger! Forbidden!]

You could have guessed that it was built by one of the villagers after a landslide.

However, it seemed meaningless as the signs were not standing upright and were being swept away by the wind.

Actually, as a child, I didn’t even pay attention to the signs and was just staring at the high pile of dirt.

‘It must be quite difficult to get over there.’

Currently, typhoons are accompanied by heavy rain as well as wind.

As a result, the soil was not hardened and was very muddy.

The act of stepping on and climbing the mud pile itself was quite daunting, and it was easy to slip.

Even the slope was so steep that you had to lift your head as high as you could to see the top of the hill.

‘If you’re unlucky and another landslide occurs, you’ll be lost forever.’

Even in such an uneasy situation, my body confidently walked up the hill and began to climb slowly.

“Ugh… !”

As I feared, I slipped on the mud and fell forward.

Nevertheless, my body stood up and tried to climb the hill again.

A situation where you are constantly going up and down.

Because of his habit of falling, he started to climb up on all fours, even using his hands.

I decided to watch until the end even though I sighed at the action that felt desperate.

First 10 cm, then 15 cm, then 20 cm. Little by little, we are making steady progress while taking a large distance.

There is a limit to the distance that a young body can advance, but I did not give up.

The result of such hard work until the end. Finally I reached the very top of the hill where there was no more room to climb.

‘Now I just have to go down carefully.’

However, my body still did not move the way I wanted.

Did I over-invest my strength by only thinking about reaching the top?

My whole body started to lose strength. Even the strength to withstand strong winds.

Unable to overcome the wind, the center of gravity began to shift backwards.

His legs, which had been strong, lost their strength and folded, and his upper body naturally leaned back.

I reached the top at best, but my body, which had reached its limit, eventually fell to the bottom of the hill.

‘Oh no!!’

I screamed in my consciousness to hold on a little longer, but until the end I couldn’t control my body.

“Ah…”

The way back the way you came.

However, it was difficult and hot when going up, but it was the exact opposite when going down.

The comfort that falls off on its own even if you don’t do anything, and the coldness of the approaching death.

Feeling this at the same time, I carefully closed my eyes.

To imagine the face of the last person you remember.

“My master is such a troublemaker.”

“Eh…?”

Mysteriously, the voice of the first person that came to mind came vividly.

At the same time, the coldness I felt all over my body disappeared and a warm energy embraced my body.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Rumadia’s face with a wry smile.

Rumadia must have accepted my falling body on the way.

“Lumadia…? Is it really Lumadia?”

“If it’s not me, is there another Lumadia?”

“Yeah, but Ruma Dia went to see her grandmother.”

“If it was her grandmother, she had it at her house a long time ago. But the owner was not at home, so I came out again like this to find the owner.”

“That’s right… ….”

It was only then that I felt relieved, but on the other hand, I realized that I had been worrying for nothing.

A situation where the cold face suddenly turned hot, I couldn’t bear to hear it.

“Anyway, my master must have been so unreliable to me?”

“It’s not like that! Just i… !”

“Ahahahaha! Just kidding, I know. Were you so worried about Grandma that you couldn’t stay still?”

I shook my head in response to Rumadia’s question.

“What? Wasn’t it Then why did you come out?”

As if my answer was unexpected, Ruma Dia was staring at me with her eyes wide open.

And I pointed her finger at her in front of her as she looked at her.

Ruma Dia, who didn’t know what that meant, was dazed, but it wasn’t until after her spurts of time had passed that something happened to her.

“…… She wondered if she was me and not grandma?”

With a light nod of her head, Ruma Dia twisted around her mouth while blushing like me.

It was a laugh that comes out when you try not to show your overflowing joy, but you can’t hide it.

“That, I see. Master must have been worried about me… !”

There is no one in the world who worries about people they dislike.

People tend to worry about others if they have even a little affection.

If it was someone important to you, there was no need to say anything more.

In that sense, the fact that I was worried about Rumadia meant that she was my precious existence.

Of course, Ruma Dia also understands that meaning, so she must have been unable to control her joy.

“You know, master. Can you close your eyes for a moment?”

“Suddenly?”

“It only takes a moment. Huh?”

“Oh, okay.”

When I closed my eyes again, the wind suddenly started to blow.

I thought for a moment that the typhoon was getting closer, but it wasn’t.

I could tell that Rumadia was flying through the strong wind.

That’s because she heard the subtle beat of wings from the sound of the wind that lingered in her ears.

‘Are you going back home?’

Then why did Ruma Dia ask me to close her eyes?

Her doubts about him came to light only after the strong wind calmed down.

“You can open your eyes now.”

“Yes.”

As I slowly lifted my closed eyelids, a tremendous sight unfolded before me.

Fields bathed in the hot sun and spiraling clouds enveloping the surroundings.

The surroundings were calm enough that the typhoon that swallowed everything seemed like a lie.

Instead, clear skies and green fields greeted me.

“How is it? While flying, I accidentally found this place and thought I should show it to the owner.”

“It’s beautiful. To the point where I can’t close my mouth… !”

“I’m glad the owner likes it.”

Eye of the typhoon.

It refers to the hole in the center of a typhoon, and it was a windless zone created by the downdraft.

On the other hand, a rough rainstorm is blowing inside the cloud wall surrounding it. It was so quiet where I was standing that it felt like there was a safe zone in the middle of the battlefield.

[It is one of the sweetest spaces that nature can create.]

‘That’s right.’

I can sympathize with the reason why divine beasts are trying to protect nature.

‘Anyway, I’m quite used to it… ….’

Aside from the sweet sight, the field I am now looking around is familiar to me.

I’ve been here before, to be exact.

But I couldn’t remember exactly. Who I came with, when I came, and what I did here.

At the time when everything was vaguely felt.

“Master.”

Suddenly, Lumadia, who was behind me, stopped me.

The moment I looked back to answer her call.

I finally realized why I felt familiar with this place.

‘Ah… ! Ah… !’

A woman I met in a dream the other day.

The look of the woman who was buried with longing perfectly matched the Rumadia standing in front of me now.

“Thank you for being my companion. Although it’s been a long time since I’ve been late, I’m very happy to have met my master like this… !”

When they were reunited again, she continued to die.

The person who not only stole what I wanted to say first, but also made my heart sad once more.

It’s embarrassing, but even that kind of meanness felt lovely to me now.

‘Damn it… !’

I came face to face with the woman I’ve been wanting to meet ever since I saw it in my dream, but my mouth, which I had kept tightly shut, did not express my current heartstrings.

There are a lot of things I want to say, such as ‘I am happy too’ and ‘I have always wanted to see you.’

I was just looking at the beautiful smile of Lumadia, but I didn’t say anything.

[The days when I was so immature that I couldn’t even say simple words.

If I had answered her feelings at least a little……

At least, there may not have been as much regret as the breakup.]
