Episode
74 .
Saya walked in the dark.
I felt like I was walking in a world buried in shadows, with only the desolate darkness repeating itself.
Darkness sucked her in like mud. Into an abyss that no one remembers, Saya was slowly being submerged.
The shadows on the skin began to eat away at the whole body. It was a bug called regret and guilt.
The encroaching darkness was her regret.
Before I knew caring, I learned from love. I was so young, I didn’t know how to count the other person.
I broke my lover’s heart.
Even if I go back to the past, I will do the same. I remembered what I once said to Aiden.
Not anymore. I really wanted to tell you about it, but at the time allowed, I just shed tears like an idiot.
Aiden’s words were so happy and heartbreaking that Saya couldn’t bear to let them go.
‘love. And thank you.’
I thought I would never hear it again. I didn’t even expect it, so it dug into my heart much hotter.
It was still ringing in my ears.
It was the only warmth that cared for her in this terribly desolate place.
Saya felt that she was very cunning.
I thought that one word would be enough, but I want to hear it again and miss it even more.
one would be impossible.
Like the time when I was trapped in the womb, if I want someone to come and rescue me, it must be greed.
Saya decided to put down her lingering feelings in the dark.
I just accepted the last moment while brooding over the memories.
I remembered the day I saw the world for the first time in my eyes.
Iden was there.
The little fox’s house became his bosom for a while.
A man as fragile as a microbe. Saya watched Iden like that. It looked like a creature that lived to die.
No matter who protects who, Aiden embraced her like a jewel and struggled tirelessly.
The fox tried to repay the favor and leave, but it was strange and unusual and stayed by his side for a while.
Men always break down. Each time he stood up again and whipped himself.
That made the other little creatures laugh, but only Aiden didn’t. it was always solid
Why would you act like that? The fox couldn’t understand. She almost misunderstood that the reason for Aiden’s existence was to make others laugh.
One day, Saya wanted to see Aiden’s smile.
As usual, when he was lost in thought, the fox licked the back of his hand.
There was no reaction. I got an error and tried several things.
No matter what he did, he was just indifferent.
The day was a little different.
There were graffiti that Iden sometimes scribbled on the floor with a twig.
two little things. It was a man and a woman.
It was a poor drawing skill, so Saya added imagination and drew it a little more specifically.
It was then that I saw Aiden’s smiling face for the first time.
Saya realized a sense of accomplishment that day. And I felt a certain joy.
I wanted to make the light lines darker.
We hummed unusual songs together, learned unfamiliar words, and performed jokes.
Suddenly, even if he didn’t act like that, Aiden smiled at Saya.
She achieved her goal. I thought I would get tired of it, but at some point, she too became happy with the time she spent with Aiden.
His hand was good.
As her rugged hands combed her white hair, she melted into serenity.
From the moment even his tail allowed it, he dug into his arms and found himself fooling around.
I thought it was just a momentary play. With a small creature with a short lifespan.
One day, even that thought changed.
Aiden hugged a woman. peasant woman. He was the human who taught Saya the feeling of jealousy.
I also realized that the human form has an advantage.
When the sign language was released, the completed beauty was reflected in the mirror.
From then on, the two exchanged feelings. The fox grew very quickly, so age didn’t matter.
In fact, at one point, I was ahead of Iden in almost every way.
Because she was a creature with divine status.
However, in front of Iden, I wanted to be infinitely weak.
Iden also wanted and demanded it.
There was one day when I couldn’t keep my promise.
It was the day Saya realized her anger.
‘The apprentice knight flirts with the beast. As you can see, they are not slaves at all. Report to the church and pay the reward.’
This was what Iden heard as well.
His expression sank sadly. It was a feeling of betrayal. Because the life saved by Aiden said those words.
It’s a face that made me smile… but Saya’s reason cut off.
There was blood on his hands. Once I started, I couldn’t stop.
Thousands of seeds that will destroy your happy daily life. Saya started to root out all of them.
To her, nothing in the world mattered except for Iden and herself.
Suddenly, I saw Iden’s expression. I was more desperate than ever.
Saya Hana had the confidence to make him laugh again. He also had the confidence to return to his daily life and make him happy.
It was an illusion.
After that day, Iden went back to the old days. No, it sank much colder than that.
Iden, who smiled at her, was nowhere to be found.
Saya reflected on her foolishness.
Now, in the darkness, if there is only one regret left, it would be the desire to see Aiden’s smile.
Saya sat down in the dark.
A soft melody escaped from her mouth. A song I sometimes sang with Iden. The fox waited for the end while melting into old memories.
Before long, the darkness swallowed her.
A drop of tear fell. Like ripples spreading across a lake, darkness began to stir.
The shadows fade. It was not unfamiliar to her to see dark shadows spitting out her son-in-law sparingly.
I saw this same phenomenon even at the moment when I was sealed in my mother’s belly.
And just like now, the darkness cleared.
Iden was there.
It was the same this time too.
Lakeside in the moonlight. Iden was looking down at her through the stars in the night sky.
Tears formed on Saya’s blue stable.
If it was a dream like this, it would be nice to sleep for the rest of my life.
She brought her hand to Iden’s face and opened her mouth slowly.
“I won’t do that anymore. love you.”
Then, he gently kissed his lips.
At that moment, Shiron was taken aback and Uriel’s face turned into shock.
From noble mtl dot com
Aiden immediately parted his lips and spoke quickly.
“Siron, send the coffins to the sanctuary. Treat it as top secret. Holy Lady, I will explain later.”
Right after that, I spurred up the ground. I jumped over the wide lake shore and moved to the other side.
I landed on a waterside thick with long reeds.
Saya stared at Iden with a frozen face.
The wind brushing his skin, the smell of his flesh, the sound of his breath, the beat of his heart. Because it was too vivid to be a dream.
“… Iden?”
Aiden hugged her silently.
“Never think of dying again.”
It felt like someone had slapped me in the back of the head. Only then did the whole scene come into view.
Saya’s drooping tail stiffened.
Aiden caressed her tail gently.
“Thank you for coming back.”
The snow-white tail began to soften little by little.
Saya slowly burrowed into Aiden’s arms. The sorrow that filled her heart made her weep.
Aiden ran a hand through her hair as in old times.
Her rich silver hair was so soft that it filled her hands with satisfaction.
Aiden really liked this touch. He fidgeted with his ears and stroked his tail.
It was a pleasure that only Iden could enjoy.
Saya’s tail swayed gently as if fluttering in the wind.
She lifted her head from Aiden’s arms.
Even when she was drenched in tears, her beauty that had not faded was faint.
The eyes looking at Iden were longing for something.
He wanted it too, and they pursed their lips at the same time, no matter who said it first.
Crimson flesh knocked on someone’s entrance. It opened lightly and mingled with the lover who came out to meet him.
They indulged each other and got entangled. Aiden hugged her tightly. His alter ego fluctuated, but he managed to hold on to reason.
The petals were also soaked with dew.
Saya gently pushed Aiden down. The two lay on top of each other on the reeds and looked at each other.
Saya asked cautiously.
“······no?”
Aiden also suffered from the bottom of his heart. However, not for the time being, and not even here.
“wait a moment. not much left.”
She lowered her ears slightly with a downcast face.
It’s cute, so Iden caresses her cheek.
Saya clearly felt love in that touch. The moment I dreamed of was already coming true.
There were many things I wanted to ask, including the reason for being revived, but that wouldn’t be the case now.
I just wanted to enjoy reconciliation.
Saya wiped away her tears and stared at Iden. Then, he drew a charming eye smile.
“But Aiden, I want to hear it again.”
“love.”
Iden was a man with no backwardness. If you go, you go, and if you don’t, you stop, so I went straight after I decided to go.
To be honest, I was embarrassed, but I didn’t show it.
Saya dyed her skin red and approached Aiden’s ears.
“I love you the most in the world.”
Breath tickled his ears.
Aiden stroked her hair and said.
“Saya, I have a request for you.”
She answered, burying her face in Aiden’s neck.
“Tell me anything. I will do everything for you.”
“Do you know the owner of the Giant’s Forest?”
“Yeah, I’ve met you before. It is the spirit of the world tree.”
I thought I might have met you. Saya, who had been resident in the Eastern Forest for a while, was enough to arouse the curiosity of the spirit Elquidora.
Anyway, if Saya knows him, the conversation speeds up.
“As you know, the giant’s forest sucks up all the surrounding spirit. My sanctuary is being built within its bounds.”
Saya lifted her face and looked at Iden. He smiled as if he knew.
“How can I do it?”
“Never kill. Just, can you arrange a place for me to meet him?”
The spirit Elquidora was an existence that never faced humans.
Hana Aiden needed him, so it would be great if someone could connect him.
She smiled and nodded as if it was an easy task.
“I will definitely meet you. But, isn’t it because of the sanctuary?”
If Sanctuary was the problem, I’d just ask him to kill me.
Aiden was thinking of stealing the demon’s spirit and supplying it to the sanctuary. If you use Elquidora, it was possible enough.
Aiden opened his mouth.
“no. So never kill them.”
Saya puffed out her cheeks and answered.
“Trust me. I will listen to you now.”
Then he smiled again.
“Instead, comb it.”
She brought her wagging tail to Iden’s nose.
Aiden smiled lightly and stood up.
After sitting her on his lap, he brushed her pure white fur with the tail comb he had been handed over.
Saya caught Aiden’s smiling face in her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility.
In the meantime, rustle. Aiden and Saya turned their heads toward the sound they heard.
A man standing with a very disapproving expression. It was Fenrir who had canceled sign language.
He crossed his arms and looked at Iden.
Before the disgruntled wolf could say anything, Iden spoke first.
“I told you not to show up.”
Iden glanced across the lake and went back.
“Just come here. You have something to do too.”
The wolf’s role was also very important to Iden.
Fenrir was very offended by Aiden’s tone of command, but he only bit his lips when he met Saya’s eyes.
I took a step closer with the intention of listening to a story.
