112. Don’t peep into other people’s memories (5)
112. Don’t peek into other people’s memories (5)
I knew I had forgotten something important.
Because I felt empty and empty in my heart.
But…
“I forgot about Minerva… “
Anyway, Minerva is a goddess.
A person who accounts for half of my skills.
You forgot such an important Minerva?
That fact shocked me.
“I remember that the aftereffects written at the end were a small loss of memory… It’s much bigger than what’s written in the book… “
In the book, it was written that memory is lost due to aftereffects, but the effect is weak and returns after a while.
However, judging from the current situation, the effect was not weak at all.
‘If I fight the demon king in this state, even if I fight 1000 times, I will lose 1000 times.’
Did the book contain incorrect information?
If that’s not the case, is the ‘standard’ of weak medicine that the book thinks different?
It’s up to you to think about the meaning.
I remembered the guy who knew the answer to this situation.
“If you ask, the answer will come.”
I entered the alley and checked the shape of the door.
Minerva was so mad that she turned every door in her alley into a library.
It was a very inefficient move.
“… You’re wasting your energy on something that only needs to be made.”
Now my memories are coming back little by little.
Who do you know as an idiot?
I opened the door to the library with a little pride.
When I opened the door and entered, a stupid owl was glaring at me.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen him, but he’s still not affectionate.
“Boo-Boo-“
“When you talk to me, speak in human language.”
“… Boo-“
I passed the librarian of the library and walked towards the back of the library.
As I walked through this place again, memories that I had forgotten came to my mind, and many scenes passed through my head.
Mostly the good scenes remained in my memory.
“Looking back, pretty good memories-“
“Hmph, I’m falling into useless sentiments.”
From noble mtl dot com
“… “
It seems that this place is not a place to reminisce.
Sitting cross-legged in his chair, Minerva interrupted him in a gruff voice.
“Does the library look like a place for someone to reminisce about? What? Who wants to become emotional at will?”
“… Why are you complaining again, Minerva?”
“Have you been in my situation! You conscienceless kidnapper!”
Ssiik- Ssik-
Minerva seemed to be firmly enraged.
Crossing her arms and crossing her legs, she appealed that she was tightly twisted.
‘It’s not my fault that I lost my memory,’ she wanted to say.
Because that goddess is likely to get even more angry.
I said with a sigh.
“Haa… Are you mad at me for losing my memory?”
“No, that doesn’t make me angry.”
“… Then why are you angry?”
“It’s okay to lose your memory! But why! Did you lose her memory and never think of this goddess!! Are you still my apostle?!”
“Ah.”
That was the point of anger.
Is it because Aina is too obsessed with information?
I must have been so mad at me for not even trying to remember myself.
I said calmly as I sat down on the chair next to Minerva.
“Sorry I forgot.”
“Okay! I won’t even give you a choice! No reading of books! It’s forbidden to enter the library! You are a traitor just like the saintess!”
A traitor.
You talk too much.
By the way, you’re a traitor…
I met Minerva’s eyes.
“Minerva.”
“What, why are you looking at me so casually… !”
“I’m sorry. I have a question. Why is Estiya a traitor?”
“… That, there is such a thing!”
Minerva, as if hiding something, turned her head to avoid her answer.
Then, perhaps embarrassed, she walked over to the bookshelf and, as if indifferently, took out a book.
“Now, read this.”
“What is this?”
“Just read!”
Is the pout still not resolved?
When Minerva said that, she went back to her seat and crossed her legs.
The atmosphere was to read a book without talking to me, so I opened the book without saying anything.
“Hmm… “
A summary of the contents of the book is as follows.
The process that my memories will return to normal after some time and the cause of Estiya’s lack of magic were written.
“Soul damage. Is it because of the lack of divine power?”
“That’s right, I restored Junwoo’s broken soul… ! The lack of divine power caused memory problems. I’m glad I’m recovering now.”
I’m glad.
The expression on Minerva’s face as she said it looked somewhat uncomfortable.
I wondered if I might have wished more for not getting my memories back.
Than that.
“Minerva, what do you want me to do after reading this summary?”
“You forgot, so you’re sorting it out! Why are you making me so angry today!”
“My head hurts.”
“… That could be it.”
Convinced.
Minerva nodded her head.
“Hey, the reason I called you was because I was just trying to get my memory back or look at her face. I just wanted to give you a word of caution.”
“Attention?”
“Yeah, Junwoo, once again! Never let your soul be damaged again! You absolutely must protect this!”
“The reason.”
“That, it’s not good to just receive a lot of divine power! Protect your soul unconditionally!”
Minerva said that and covered her desk with her body.
She even glanced at the title of the book on her desk, ‘Lee Jun-woo’s Future’.
‘Probably, it looks like something related to my future… ‘
Keep your soul unconditionally.
It must have something to do with my death.
Because even though Minerva lied, she did something that would benefit my future.
For now, I decided to quietly follow her words.
For now.
“Attention, is that the end?”
“I have nothing more to say… not! One more!”
“What is it?”
“Estiya! Punish that traitor! Not kill… Not! Just scold! No respect for the goddess! You traitor! A traitor needs to be scolded! Got it?”
“… I’ll listen to you and decide.”
“I don’t need that! Just scold-!!”
Still noisy.
Although my memories are a bit lost.
The fact that Minerva was noisy seemed to be embedded deep in her memory.
“Then, I’m going.”
“Okay, that’s all I have to say. Go watch your head.”
I said goodbye to Minerva and decided to head for her house.
However, before leaving the library by opening the door.
Minerva muttered as she grabbed my collar.
“… Next time, never forget me.”
“Yes, I will not forget.”
“Without you… It’s as if I’m disappearing… So don’t forget.”
Chuuk-
Minerva lowered her head and murmured.
‘Well, there are no apostles besides Meow and Meow… ‘
Forgotten might be a matter of time.
There is not much information in the world about her goddess, Minerva.
It was only natural that Minerva feared her oblivion.
I said, placing her hand on her Minerva’s head.
“I will never forget you next time.”
“… It’s a promise. If you forget, I’ll kill Junwoo as an option. Okay?”
It’s okay if you don’t choose.
You must be asking me not to forget that much.
I smiled and turned around.
“Then, I really will go now. I will come again next time I’m in.”
“… “
Nod-
Minerva gave a small nod and went back into the library.
“… Don’t forget until you return.”
“What? What does that mean-“
“… “
Minerva muttered to herself at the end, but
She went back without telling me the meaning of those words.
‘What does that mean… ‘
Remembering that strange sound, I went home.
But the answer didn’t come out right.
I just have a bad headache.
It was dawn when I thought a lot.
***
The next morning.
I automatically opened my eyes and got out of bed.
I didn’t sleep much, but I woke up on my own.
“… Come to think of it, I wake up at this time every day.”
The next move…
Go to the bathroom and basically wash up.
Heading to the restaurant to prepare breakfast.
It must be starting cooking.
As I moved along that series of processes, I saw children already preparing dishes in the restaurant.
“Luna, Hare. You woke up.”
“Ah, mister! Oh hello! hahahaha… !”
Luna gives off an awkward smile.
What happened?
Awkwardness was felt in her face, expression, and gestures.
“… It must have happened yesterday.”
“Oh no! Nothing happened! There really wasn’t!”
“Yes, I don’t think so. I won’t believe you.”
“Really?”
“No.”
“… “
Luna’s pupils trembled violently at her side.
Hare, who was preparing vegetables for Luna next to her, looked at me and asked.
“Yeah, but… mister… ! Remember… Did you get everything back… ?”
“Not all of them. It will come back in time. Don’t worry.”
“… Okay.”
Che-
Hare quietly clicked her tongue.
‘Why does everyone look sad instead of worried?’
Luna, Hare, Minerva.
These three seemed angry that I hadn’t lost my memory.
‘By the way… I’ll have to wake everyone up to hear the story.’
I asked her, putting her hand on Luna’s shoulder.
“Luna, can you go upstairs and wake the sleeping children?”
“Yes, yes! I’ll wake you up! Ha ha ha… “
Unusually, Luna was drooping.
She walked out of the cafeteria.
It wasn’t Luna’s behavior.
‘… As expected, something must have happened between the warriors’ party last night.’
Since all the testimonies cover Estiya.
We decided to have a conversation focusing on Estiya.
I decided to prepare breakfast with a cleaver.
“The ingredients are sufficient… If it’s like this… “
Doo-doo-
The moment you prepare a dish with a kitchen knife.
From outside the restaurant, I heard someone screaming and running.
“Heo Eok… Heo-eok… Now, wait! Mister!! Mister!!”
“Why is that, Luna?”
“Haa… I-what is that! Why is there a lock on the room of the two of you!? Suh, are you trying to awaken the kidnapper’s instincts again!? Is that so!? You two are screaming that you want to go to the bathroom!”
“… “
That’s right.
I forgot.
I hurriedly climbed up before the two fell to the floor.
Fortunately, the incident did not happen…
“I… dignity… I kept… “
“You almost did it again, oppa… !! What are you doing… !!”
“Again?”
“Oh, no, that’s not it! Hi-Hi… !”
Estiya’s word again was just a little jarring.
