Sun – Cloud Solas(6)
The next morning, we witnessed an oak tree that had literally reached the sky.
A long oak tree, each trunk thicker than that of thousand-year-old trees, soared toward the sky.
“Uh, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”
Arisha admired the oak tree that had grown to 10m tall, but it seemed that she got tired of seeing the oak tree that had reached the sky.
『 ᛊ 』 ─ Sowilo
Carve runes on the floor. A rune of the sun that emits instant light. Rune magic isn’t magic with good cost performance, but…
-Sleep…!
The energy rising from the ground is absorbed into my body. The range magic recovery field is also working correctly.
“Eh, what the hell is this?”
“This is the essence of content for deceased persons.”
“Yes?”
Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?
Now, there are old people who just gossip about one game without doing anything and break the code and interpret it.
Some of the ancients who obtained the Golden Mandragora and the Silver Mandragora by using the Mountain Spirit Hidden Peace looked for something else hidden here.
But what? Looking at the game code, isn’t there an item related to Mandragora of Gold and Silver?
One of them is Mandragora Fertilizer. This fertilizer, made by mixing suitable materials and special soil, boasted absolute performance in ‘cultivation content’.
‘Even so, I didn’t know that it would be this level of performance.’
I tried it a few times before coming here. I’ve tried growing a few plants with a little bit of golden fertilizer, and I’ve done a field test with oak trees and mistletoe parasites.
The oak cane, which was grown by pouring out all the remaining fertilizer, is in a far high place. It’s really trying to reach the sky.
“I don’t know what method he used, but he seems to have raised them wonderfully.”
Uskias admired the oak tree that stretched to the sky. The oak tree that Dumnorix, the highest ranking druid, is growing is only about 300m tall.
However, our oak tree extends over 1km even in the snow. Even now, judging from the fact that it is growing in real time, it will not be long before it really reaches the sky.
“Hmm. If you’re leaving now, I’ll give you one last piece of advice as the sage of Findias.”
“You tell me.”
“As we announced earlier, the solar eclipse is coming soon. That moment is the only moment when the power of the sun weakens and you can hold the sun in your hands.”
That is, the Sun Clausolas can only be held during a solar eclipse.
‘Once you get it, are there any restrictions from then on?’
In the previous episode, the King’s subordinate, the King of Beauty, Ohad Breath wielded the Claus Solas. With or without an eclipse.
“From now on, it’s all up to you, young hero.”
With those words, Uskias went back. As if his role was over.
“Mr. Corinne, are you leaving right away?”
“Yes, it won’t be over in a day or two. I’ll pack food and clothes and start climbing.”
“Uh, I’ll tell my sister to get ready.”
The regrettable thing is that the strongest members I can prepare for have not gathered yet.
I know roughly how to get the sun, but the problem is the sky giant who will protect it. And it’s information I didn’t assume.
Hwaran and Marie. It would have been reassuring if there were two of us… If the two of us don’t arrive, we have no choice but to set off on our own.
“I have to leave unconditionally in a week. I will come by then.”
* * * *
Late night when the moon has risen.
Arisha swung her sword in the clearing.
Waiting for the arrival of Marie and Hwaran, he receives the sword master’s teachings during the day and repeats the day’s review at night.
I’m going to repeat it until Corinne says she’s leaving.
“haha···!”
After breaking the sword, Arisha got out of her lazy routine and started training seriously, but that wasn’t serious about the sword.
It seems that they were more focused on spending time together, following Corinne Locke to and from the gym, sparring with each other.
It was the first time I had ever run with the goal of improving my swordsmanship like now.
It brings back childhood memories. Those days when I followed my older sister to learn the sword and fell in love with it.
Ever since the first time you cut someone, have you ever wielded a sword like this in a trance? Arisha, who even had a fear of herself wielding a sword, is unfamiliar with this sense.
“ha······.”
My whole body is drenched in sweat.
Arisha wiped the sweat from her forehead with her trembling hands without letting go of the yam sword.
Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.
Just as he was about to swing his sword again, he heard a cool voice from behind his back.
“Leave it like that. It hurts.”
“······sister.”
Lunia Arden. Arisha’s half-sister approached, throwing a water bottle at her.
“Training is pushing yourself to the limit and gradually increasing that limit. Anything beyond that is not training, it’s penance.”
“······huh.”
Arisha nodded and sat down on the chair Yuel had brought her.
“Have you eaten?”
“······Not yet.”
Pak in your arms! Runia threw something. Arisha knows what it is.
Honey Bomb Candy. It is Arisha’s favorite candy that is so sweet that it burns her tongue.
“You always live sweetly. Do you like it?”
“Yeah, older sister. i like you.”
“Is that so?”
Come to think of it, I think it was from then. The reason why Luna always had this candy in her arms.
It tickled me, but I felt disturbed. Ever since I came back to my parents’ house for winter vacation, I keep feeling that way whenever I see my older sister.
“Sister, do you like Corinne?”
uh?
I was surprised to even say it myself. Why did you say that? Isn’t that too out of the blue?
“Oh, no, that’s not it…”
“Well, he’s a guy I like.”
“yes?”
A twinkling brother’s gaze. Facing it directly, Runia smiled, which was rare.
“He is an objectively excellent man. Appearance and talent.”
The Secret of the Silent Druid. Runia’s voice reached clearly.
I wanted to say something back, but my mouth wouldn’t come out.
How many times have you concocted words to return?
In the end, what came out of his mouth was a clumsy protest.
“Uh, marriage with something like that…”
“Of course, I am also a woman. I do not propose marriage only for external reasons like that.”
“Well, then…”
“He is a man with a good heart. If he is, his married life will be smooth. He is a man who will make my wife happy.”
“Yeah, but…”
Something has to be returned. I don’t know why. I just felt that I had to strike back with something…
“The difference in ‘age’ between the two of them is huge…”
Arisha involuntarily gives strength to the word age.
In that moment, Runia’s eyes were sharp.
“There is definitely a difference in seniority. However, isn’t that why there is an abundance that young people can’t give?”
“And, is that so?”
At the end of that, the two sisters gazed at each other in silence. Arisha, who usually lived under the gaze of Runia, strangely meets her eyes for more than 10 seconds.
If anyone saw the bizarre phenomenon of even sparks, it would be a sight to vomit.
Looking at her brother’s rare appearance, Runia laughs inwardly.
I know you don’t want to be taken away. He knew what his brother was feeling.
But it doesn’t show it clearly.
If I had tried to reveal it, I would have done something a long time ago.
In other words, Arisha is not even aware of her heart.
Otherwise, there’s no way you’ll be able to do anything but this cute reaction until you get to the stage where the engagement story comes out.
If you want something, you have to hold it in your hands right away.
I can’t even realize the feelings I had for the first time in my life.
Therefore, Runia is still laughing and looking down at her inexperienced sister.
That weakness and indecisive behavior can’t get you what you want.
It’s cheesy, but it needs a bit more provocation.
The match is fair and square. For Runia, who is a lifelong idea, at least she wants to have her half-brother at the starting line.
Start on an equal footing according to the signal flare and confidently win. I look down at my brother with the eyes of a victor.
that you have been robbed
It is clear that the wine you drink with the cup of victory will be sweeter than anything else.
“He has already accepted. When the work is over, he will have an engagement ceremony with me.”
It was a false engagement, a contract engagement, and Runia did not hesitate to reveal it.
“That, like that…”
Arisha, unaware of the circumstances surrounding it, was overcome with an unparalleled sense of defeat.
And it comes to mind.
The vision I saw when entering the unexplored world.
“Brother-in-law. Right now… I don’t have a sister.”
The despicable deed that I shouted at and denied.
imagining it
A delusion that should have been kept as an eternal secret.
Indeed, when that time comes, will he act the same?
Why did I think that for some reason it would remain like that?
* * * *
Marie went straight across the border via her hometown of Arden in the east.
In order to meet Corin as soon as possible, she rides the Hresbelg and flies over the Mamul Mountains, relying on Deokgu’s senses.
“Duckgu, where is Daddy’s scent headed?”
“Kong kong! Kkong kong…!”
When Deokgu stretched out his long hand and pointed in the direction, Marie skillfully handled Hresbelg’s reins to change direction.
In the middle of the flight, a roar that echoed through the mountains jumped up to the sky above her.
– Kwak! Boom! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“What, what?”
When she turned her gaze to the terrible sounds of destruction of nature, Marie witnessed an unbelievable sight.
– Boom! Wow! Kwaaaaang…!
Something is running through the forest. straight in a straight line.
From noble mtl dot com
The road in the forest is difficult. The roads are not developed, and in the flood year, it is a toil just to get through them.
However, those running through the forest pass through in a straight line, as if running through a vast field. Destroying everything in front of your eyes.
“Wow, what is fire?!”
A girl in a nun’s outfit runs through a hundred-year-old tree with her bare body. There is only one person she knows that can do that.
“What, what are you doing…?!”
That was the moment. Hwaran, who was running in a straight line through the forest, ran into Marie. It was only for a fleeting moment that our eyes crossed each other.
“Huh? It’s gone…everything?”
At some point, the appearance of Hwaran disappeared. However, Marie has no time to care about that.
In her field of vision, a huge tree is growing with momentum reaching the sky.
“Is that me?”
The direction Deokgu points to and the place where Hwaran disappeared also coincide. Since it’s such a huge tree, Marie lands in an empty lot with the idea of finding a flower first.
“Um… Daddy is nearby?”
“Kong!”
Duke’s testimony. From here on, you just have to trust Deokgu’s senses. Marie said while feeding Hresbelg a bag of potatoes.
“For now, watch us from the sky and follow us. I’ll call you if anything happens.”
“Kreurreuk…!”
Hresbelg, the great eagle, understands human speech and flaps his wings again.
“The place where Hwaran disappeared…”
Marie searches the forest using a giant oak tree that rises like a landmark as a guide.
And how many steps did you walk? It was when we arrived at the place where Hwaran had disappeared.
────
“uh?”
The surroundings are dark. No, was it an illusion? Marie was on a chair in the chapel.
“The bride and groom are academy graduates?
“Oh my gosh, I must be speeding. Both of them are paying for their faces! Oh ho ho!!”
“Yes?”
A chapel where the sound of the organ resonates layer after layer. The peaceful music continues and the children doze off.
Unlike the sober and calm performance, the decoration of the chapel is splendid.
It is rare for a chapel that sings frugality, harmony, and generosity to be decorated so splendidly.
I wonder if it’s about directing in a holy place like the Zeon Cathedral.
Thanks to that, I realized that I was at someone’s wedding.
“The bride enters.”
The warm voice of the priest resonates in the cathedral and the priest enters from the large front door.
The bride’s wedding dress is decorated with luxurious gold thread and hundreds of diamonds on a pure white background.
The wedding dress Marie dreamed of. He said that he imagined one day wearing a dress like this and walking on the red carpet at the wedding hall. Specifically, with a certain boy.
“Uh… whose wedding was it?”
in confused memories. When Marie saw the bride, her breath stopped.
“What’s wrong?!”
A bride who appears blushing with a shy expression. Hwaran was led by Josephine’s hand and stepped on the red carpet.
“Wow, it’s pretty.”
“It’s true.”
The ladies sitting next to me compliment someone. Children make a fuss about being pretty.
However, such reactions from those around her did not reach Marie’s ears.
“Ah, ahaha… Hwaran, are you getting married? Why, why didn’t you know? Ahahaha…”
Ominousness creeps in.
Who is Hwaran? Isn’t she a rock-like girl who always gets rid of most of the world with a boring expression and slow reaction?
Will such a girl marry someone? Stepping on the red carpet with a shy face?
Isn’t there only one target?
“Ah, no… it won’t be. No way…”
“Groom, you are entering…!”
However, the priest’s voice ruthlessly tramples on the girl’s innocence. A boy shows up.
Southern classic style suit and obsidian buttons. A boy wearing an old-fashioned classic watch walks through the cathedral nervously.
Soon after, the groom arrived and the bride’s guardian handed over the bride’s hand, and the two stood in front of the priest presiding over the ceremony.
“────”
the ceiling of the cathedral. As the light from the stained glass windows blessed the bride and groom… Marie just watched with a bewildered expression.
I had no choice but to watch.
············
·········
······
There are two people who look happy.
Two people who are happy just by watching from a distance. But Ran, who was watching, was not like that.
“······brother.”
A boy who smiles openly and a girl with azure hair who does not hide her flushed cheeks and smiles wide.
The two crossed their longing eyes at each other and smiled stupidly.
The gaze of two people who clearly love each other.
Looking at each other loving and loving each other like lovers, Ran chewed her lips.
“······You’ve lost.”
Taken away.
it is stolen
I myself consider that to be unreasonable. But it is unavoidable that negative emotions arise. Think of it as petty.
while having it all
Having a happy family, wealth, and status.
I only have a brother
All I want is that one person. If you have everything, you can give that person to me.
I can’t hide that childlike grumbling and greed. They are still too young to keep the rising feelings of wealth inside.
And the feelings of jealousy and hatred extend to those who love them.
“It was the first time…”
Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Giving her heart, touching the hand of an extramarital man.
“It was all the first time…”
Then…you should be with me.
I give and can give my all… Why did you abandon me?
I feel resentful, sad, unfair and helpless as if I was betrayed.
That ideal happiness was unhappiness for him.
* * * *
Uskias, the guardian of Pindias, looked at the girls he had taken to the town hall in the corner of the city and looked at them with a puzzled expression.
“So, have you been doing that for ‘a few days’?”
“Yes, wise man.”
Another foreigner visiting the unexplored region. They lost consciousness, caught up in the enchanting mist that enveloped the entire unexplored region.
If you think about it normally, those who couldn’t overcome the delusion would have been sent back as they were. But they did not dare to send these girls back.
·······················thth
A strong aura rises centered on the two girls.
Due to the intensification of emotions, the uncontrolled release of external force is completely blocking the approach of the surroundings.
“I wasn’t like this when I first brought her…”
“Because what are you looking at in the alternate illusion?”
The druids of the unexplored region were fed up with their astounding magical powers and auras. Transcendentalists who go beyond human limits are poised to break the barriers of the city with only their emotions.
“Haa… If we continue like this, the barriers of the unexplored world will be shaken. I will personally go into their illusions and lead them outside.”
“Can we help?”
“No. I split my self in two and draw both girls out.”
Interfering with the minds of others is dangerous. Uskias used the druid’s mysticism to split his ego in two and entered the illusion in which the two girls were immersed.
“············no.”
Entering into the vision of the two girls… Marie Dunareff and Holland, Uskias was shocked.
『What is the world going to be like, these young girls are in such extreme…』
One thing is for sure, the two girls will wake up soon, without needing Uskias to guide them.
What, what did they do? Tell me, Uskias!
