Side Story (3)
“First! As I said in the warehouse, you changed our lives!”
“How did I change it? Does a person’s life change so easily?”
“Of course it is difficult! That’s why you have to take responsibility! Because you kidnapped us!”
Luna spoke firmly and brought up things I don’t remember. She kidnapped herself and forced her to practice, and hit her on the head as an excuse to teach her swordsmanship. I don’t remember, but it seems like there were various things.
“I must have killed a lot of brain cells in the past.”
“Oh, seeing as you say the same thing as you, you look a little younger, but you are still a man!”
Luna gives a mysterious look.
Then, she appeared, putting her Luna aside to see if she had anything to say.
“I-I have something to tell you, mister. Don’t just listen to Luna… Please listen to me… “
“Yes, yes. Tell me.”
I was a little scared, but looked straight into Hare’s eyes and said. It’s scary because it’s red eyes that you can’t see in Korea. Hare grabbed her shoulders with both hands as if asking me to listen to her properly.
“Ah, Mr.… Like Luna said, it changed my life… Me who lived in the slums… Treat me like a person… Because you kidnapped me, I was able to be reborn… Let me read the text… For the first time I could feel the feeling of being alive… “
“That’s right.”
He’s kind of scary.
Hare’s eyes full of madness.
Gulp-
I swallowed her dry saliva and grabbed her hare’s arm to remove it. However, Hare’s arm didn’t move at all.
“Why is the power so strong-“
“… By any chance, do you not want to be with me? So, are you trying to take me away? To me, you are the person I always want to be with… Aren’t you like that, uncle?”
“No, it’s not because it’s too close-“
“While you were away, I wanted to die every day and kill all the people who made you suffer… Isn’t that what you are… ?”
I feel like he’ll stab me with a knife all of a sudden. Is there anyone who can help me?
I sent my eyes to Luna asking for help. Then, Luna grabbed Hare’s body and pulled it off, as if this had always happened.
“Leave this… !! Don’t get in the way between you and me… !”
“We’re not lovers, we’re not even in a relationship! I’m sorry, uncle. There are a lot of times when Hare has seizures after the uncle is gone. I usually have to stab something with a dagger to calm myself down. You can’t do that in your world, can you?”
“… It doesn’t.”
“Leave this, Luna!”
Hare struggled hard, but she was dragged by Luna and calmed down behind her.
As expected, the hero is the strongest.
After watching them for a while, Saten approached gracefully. It was a step that felt her dignity.
“Let me introduce myself once again. I am Saten, mister.”
“Yes, I know.”
Saten spoke in a calm tone.
“Actually, I had a last name.”
“Last name?”
“Yes, there was a surname called Cicilia. He came from a noble family of high repute. But thanks to you, my last name is gone.”
“… What?”
“Let’s talk for a moment… “
Saten told me the story of the missing surname Sicilia. She said that she helped her escape under the guise of kidnapping, taught her magic in the abducted space, and told her emotions one by one that she didn’t have.
She even showed her smile by raising the corner of her mouth as proof. Although she still seemed to be lacking in training.
‘Still, I wasn’t trash in the past.’
He helped Saten, who was being abused, and saved Hare, who lived in the slums. I lived a healthy life myself.
“And then.”
Saten continued her words as if she hadn’t finished the story yet.
“I learned magic from you, learned emotions, learned how to get along with other people. I was very satisfied with that kind of life. I thought it could last a lifetime. But… “
Saten closed her eyes for a moment, as if immersed in a recollection of her past. She seemed to be in a lot of trouble, but she opened her mouth slowly and said.
“Your uncle chose death suddenly. Even by taking his own life.”
“Now, wait.”
That’s something you can’t get away with? That I killed myself in the past?
Luna also responded by shouting something to Saten’s words, but Saten continued her words.
“Be quiet. You must know the truth too. That way you’ll understand.”
“But you don’t have to tell him everything!”
“I don’t intend to tell you everything either. I will only speak to the extent of understanding and convincing. I have no intention of repeating my mistakes.”
Cold and calm. That’s what it means to be cautious. Saten had a feeling that she understood her girl a little bit.
“You must be curious. Why did you kill yourself?”
“… To be honest, I’m curious. What happened to me in the past?”
“It’s not hard for us, but it was hard for you.”
“I want to tell you… ?”
“Yes. But not now.”
Saten cut me off sternly. However, if you see that it’s not now, it must mean that you have something to talk about later.
As if my thoughts were correct, Saten nodded her head and replied.
“Even though his body has gotten smaller and his eyes have changed, he still fits the man inside. As you think, it is not now.”
“Then when-“
“Later. When the moment came when the uncle heard everything about us and understood us. I’ll tell you then.”
“… Okay.”
Saten.
I honestly don’t know what this woman is aiming for. However, I do know one thing.
‘Are you trying to make me seriously focus on this situation?’
It’s hard for me to understand and it doesn’t make sense. Let me know that I chose death myself in the past. It stimulates curiosity and makes them focus more on their story. It’s a very smart way to make nonsense believable.
“From whom did you learn… “
Why do I know more than that?
I felt a slight headache. Saten cleared her voice and continued her explanation.
“Umm, then I will continue to explain. I mean after the uncle is gone.”
“Okay, let me know. What happened after I was gone?”
“After the old man disappeared, there are two demon kings left. We had to catch the remaining two by ourselves. I mean the demon king of gluttony and anger. The goddess said that if she caught all the demon lords, she could save the uncle.”
“So, am I still alive here?”
“Yes, I can see that.”
I, who died in the other world, will be brought back to life here. Saten’s words are hard to believe, but it makes sense.
“So, we left the house and set out on a journey to catch the remaining Demon King. In a state where you haven’t escaped the shock of your uncle’s death. In that respect, we had no choice but to be defeated easily by the demon king.”
The Demon King of Wrath was hard to kill, she says. It is said that the demon king used the emotions of ordinary citizens to drive the hero party to death. As a result, the warrior party couldn’t sleep properly, she says, and she had to keep her senses alert at all times even when wandering the streets.
“We don’t remember it properly. In the case of Luna, they say she died hundreds of times.”
“… But now he’s alive-“
“Even when Luna died, she moved time with the power of her holy sword. She is not now.”
“Ah.”
In that case.
Are you saying that Luna, who is holding her hare over there, repeated her death several times?
‘Even so, her mind seems to be much clearer than Hare and Estiya.’
Is the warrior’s bowl different?
She seemed like a simple person, but after hearing her story, Luna felt amazing.
“The Demon King of Wrath was created to make us angry with the citizens and to get rid of the need to protect them. Thinking back on that guy, he was incredibly strong. He wore us down over and over again. Even after death.”
It is said that even after his death, the demon king of wrath planted anger against the warrior party in all regions by using the apostles he had planted in human society. As a result, it is said that the party of warriors who went on a journey to find the demon king could not sleep comfortably for a moment.

“Luna says she went through it over and over again. Death right in front of our eyes. A person who looked like an ordinary citizen suddenly jumped out and attacked, and we were attacked without even fighting back. One time, they said that we fought back and killed a person… “
At that time, it is said that Luna took her own life and turned her time back.
“… “
“This is not to blame the old man. I’m just talking about what happened to us after Mr. It’s okay to let go of your expression, mister.”
Even though it’s something I can’t remember. After I disappeared, the warrior party looked quite gloomy. I automatically imagined them going through hard times, and the guilt inside me inevitably grew.
‘Once you picked it up, you had to take responsibility until the end… ‘
Why couldn’t he?
I was able to understand what they meant by ‘responsibility’ after listening to them.
Because it gave me stability by getting me out of a chaotic life.
I should have given them stability until the end, but they threw them into a chaotic situation again.
‘I was tired, or the weight was too heavy. I must have chosen to run away for that reason.’
I stopped blaming myself for a moment and looked up at her to face Saten.
Saten was looking at me with an expressionless expression. However, her eyes were watery and trembling slightly. They desperately want my answer after hearing their story.
Please tell me the correct answer.
I carefully opened my mouth, hoping that the answer would be correct.
“The responsibility you are talking about. What would you like me to do?”
Saten smiled, not a twisted smile, but with every muscle in her face in harmony.
“Please live with us as before you left.”
“When is the deadline?”
“Until we can stand on our own.”
For some reason, Saten’s answer sounded like ‘her whole life’, but I couldn’t help but nod her head at Saten’s ambiguous words. It was because the guilt I felt was as severe as seeing them in front of my eyes.
