774 – 9. Not a single day goes by without this (23)
Seria was suffering from a headache.
She had been in pain for less than a week. One day, a sharp pain began to run through her skull. Like a bird pecking an egg with its beak.
It is usually difficult to determine the cause of headaches. This was because there were too many reasons. It could have been a combination of factors such as fatigue, mental distress, or high blood pressure.
But why?
The girl seemed to clearly know the source of this pain. Well, it has to be that way.
There’s only one reason why I’ve been feeling dizzy lately.
Because she was so distraught, Seria’s face was always dark. Even though she didn’t do that, her timid personality became more sensitive, and a while ago, she felt that even the air was unpleasant for no reason.
No, to be more precise, should I say she is ‘sinister’.
She was like that when she was spending the day in a low pressure area.
“Seria.”
While leaving her training center to instruct her students, Seria had to stop and flinch.
Because one of the causes of her headache was walking across from her.

Gorgeous golden hair resembling the sun, and passionate red eyes. Her pure white skin and slender figure contrast with the clear color.
She was a woman whose name ‘Yurdina’ immediately came to mind. Is that why Seria suffered from an inferiority complex for such a long time?
Now it was meaningless.
Seria consoled herself and answered in a calm voice.
“…… “I am a master of emptiness.”
“Are you still pushing that name? For someone like you, you’re quite stubborn… “It wasn’t very sophisticated.”
Go ahead and say it.
Gritting her teeth, Ceria regained control of her composure, which was almost broken for a moment. She was a woman who had a knack for getting on people’s nerves with every word she said casually.
In fact, it was a natural result.
She was a woman born with everything in her hands from the moment she was born. In her life, her experience of observing others’ perceptions must be rare. That’s why she can use such an indifferent tone.
In addition, her personality was not that good.
As the accident continued, she felt increasingly uncomfortable. She was the reason why Ceria decided to get out of this place as quickly as possible.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about… The name ‘Gong’ is an honorable title handed down to the instructors of the ‘sword circle’ from generation to generation. “Please stop talking.”
Meanwhile, she passed by with a cold attitude.
Originally, this was a meeting that would end like this. In the first place, she only met her by chance, and Ceria seemed to have no will to continue the conversation.
If only the opponent wasn’t ‘Delphine Jurdina’.
“How many months has it been since you left?”
Seria, who was about to leave without any regrets, suddenly stopped. She could just ignore it and pass by, so why?
Did you feel an unfamiliar emotion in Delphine’s voice?
It was nonsense. Ceria laughed at herself for having imagined such a thing, even if only for a moment.
“Not even a year has passed yet.”
“Again, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“It means to come back slowly.”
Blue and red came together in the air.
The two sisters’ gazes were complementary, but the emotions contained within them were close to a harsh dissonance.
Seria’s tone becomes slightly heated.
“You’re going back? “The only place for me is Heavenly Sword Mountain.”
“No matter how hard you try, you are Yurdina…” And Jurdina is mine.”
A tone without even the slightest wavering.
Delphine spoke with an expression as indifferent as a mathematician reciting the four basic operations.
“Have you not enjoyed late puberty enough?”
“I don’t feel the need to talk any more. Well then…….”
“Your mother.”
Seria’s body, which was about to take a step, suddenly stiffened. Those blue eyes that looked back at her older sister were filled with a faint fear.
Delphine continued her even tone.
“Is it because of her?”
No answer came back. In silence, Ceria just avoided eye contact without saying a word.
A laugh escaped Delphine’s mouth.
“You are so consistent, too. With a family story that is nothing special…….”
“It’s nothing special?”
At that point, Ceria broke down in tears, and she couldn’t control her mind.
Delphine’s smile grew even deeper as her gaze became somewhat sharper. In her terribly seductive tone, her older sister whispered into her younger sister’s ear.
“Don’t be petty… “No matter what the secret office is like.”
Blue flame.
For an instant, the girl’s eyes lit up the air, leading to a flash-like hand gesture. It was an art that could only be seen by those who were skilled in the vision of the ‘sword circle’, a high-speed combat stance that even confused the sense of sight.
But that is the end.
Ceria’s hand was only trembling, unable to touch the handle of her sword. It was proof that she still maintained her senses.
On the other hand, it also meant that she almost lost her temper.
Delphine seemed extremely happy about that fact.
“Look at that.”
Tuk, thuk.
The woman smiled, patting Ceria on the shoulder as if to shake off the dust.
“It’s clumsy… “Drawing a line and crossing it.”
The blue pupils have a fierce gaze like hot iron. In front of him, Delphine asked in a relaxed manner as always.
“Why are you angry?”
Still no answer came back.
To be more precise, it may be because it was a question that did not need an answer. Above all, the clear answer was contained in Seria’s eyes.
It wasn’t a question Delphine asked with the expectation of hearing back. She just whispered again in a soft voice.
“Would you like to play a game after a long time?”
Gorgeous gold and calm silver harmonize with the wind. Silent, yet strong gazes mingled in the air.
“…… Master Gong.”
It was an offer I couldn’t refuse.

“You started fighting like that?”
In response to my empty question, the girl with blue hair who lives here nodded her head in the affirmative. It was Sir Irene Rupermion who arrived on the scene before me.
“It felt like Lord Delphine was openly arguing.”
“That’s right… “Because it’s Delphine.”
I didn’t even wonder who the culprit that started the fight in the first place was. For anyone who knew the two people even a little, it was a question whose answer was obvious.
Of course, Delphine would have picked a fight with her.
However, there was another point that I found surprising.
“But it’s already been a while since you two fought…” ….”
“It must have been at least 20 minutes.”
The sister fight is still ongoing.
Senior Delphine was also a warrior who had reached the top level, but his limitations were clear unless he could use his magic power. Even I, who was already familiar with the vision of ‘Sword Circle’, was still unable to understand its true meaning.
In other words, at this point, Seria is overwhelmingly stronger than senior Delphine.
Still, what is the scene unfolding before my eyes?
The two were rolling on the dirt floor and continuing their fierce battle. The sport was bare-handed fighting, and I couldn’t even guess where the sword came from.
Did he understand my questions?
Sir Irene cleared her throat and drew my attention again. Although he looked uncomfortable saying something.
“Well, at first… I was holding a sword…….”
“I was there?”
“Seri… Hmm, while Master Gong was striking away Sir Delphine’s sword, the fallen Sir Delphine was sprinkled with sand…….”
Only then did I realize why Sir Irene hesitated.
To resist by throwing sand in Dalian, to be honest, even if I thought it was ugly, it was something I had nothing to say about. There was no reason to fight so desperately when it wasn’t even a real fight.
Of course. Although it was a tactic I had used a few times in actual combat.
The effect itself was excellent. While Seria, who didn’t know that sand would hit her in the eye, was embarrassed, she must have started to show signs of victory with her martial arts skills. In that case, it wouldn’t be surprising if she ended up on a par with Seria, who trained mainly in swordsmanship.
“…… “You look like Delphine.”
My brief impressions were the end of the conversation. Our eyes immediately turned to Sister Yurdina.
It was because I was curious. The reason why Delphine is so obsessed with sparring.
“Ceria, I told you… “You fell back.”
These were the words that senior Delphine uttered while panting. Scratches on her pretty face, dirt everywhere, and even her gorgeous beauty that can’t be hidden.
At first glance, she seemed to have won the game as she climbed on top of her sister. If it weren’t for Ceria doing her best to resist while lying face down.
Because the attack and defense had already taken place several times, a trickle of blood was flowing from between Seria’s lips. It meant that her cheek had burst, and the girl’s distorted eyebrows showed the pain.
“It’s not Yurdina anymore? Now your name is ‘Gong’? Don’t be funny, Ceria… Bloodlines can never be fooled. “Do you think you can deceive yourself with such half-hearted determination?”
Huh, huh.
Ceria’s gaze was heated as she stared at her back, breathing heavily. The emotions contained in her eyes were very complex.
Anger, displeasure, hatred. And guilt.
“If you have to do it, do it clearly. Whether we show up in front of us and act like it or not… Treat us like everyone else, whether we’re about to die or not… “Don’t be clumsy like you are now!”
Paak, and do it.
At the same time as Ceria gritted her teeth and turned her body over, senior Delphine’s posture collapsed in an instant. She wasn’t so disheveled as to miss that gap.
“It’s clumsy…… ?”
The sound of chewing and spitting out teeth.
In an instant, the top and bottom were reversed. Ceria’s fist struck Delphine’s cheek with her knee as she pressed down on his forearm. Pak, pak! By the time she turned her head a couple of times, her blood was flowing from Senior Delphine’s mouth.
“After much thought, I… What kind of decision did you make? … !”
“Look.”
Senior Delphine grinned, spitting bloody spit to her side.
“It’s like this again…” Clumsily, Ceria Yurdina.”
Seria’s blue pupils trembled as she held the woman’s collar.
“And then you regret it? As always… “Like affection residue.”
The moment Seria couldn’t stand it anymore and raised her fist high.
“…… Stop.”
With a tap, my hand carefully grabbed the girl’s wrist.
The startled eyes turned to me. He was so excited that he didn’t even notice my approach.
“If you add, you get out.”
Ha, ha.
Ceria, who had been holding her breath for a while, finally relaxed her strength on her arms. Eventually, she got up, staggered, and quietly walked away.
I didn’t say anything to her behind her back. For Seria right now, just thinking about it alone must be overwhelming.
Instead, I just handed a sighing lament to senior Delphine.
“Is it okay if I act a little nicer?”
“Why is this happening? I know very well that I am naturally this kind of person… “Please take care of our ugly potatoes.”
I had to stop laughing at that shameless suggestion.
“You look like you’re going to explode if you talk to me for no reason.”
“It will calm down over time…” I’ve been like that since I was young. “As much as I usually suppress my emotions, once they explode, there is nothing visible.”
The woman smiled meaningfully. While gently stroking her lower abdomen.
“…… “You’ll regret it tomorrow.”
What else are they plotting?
I was shaking my head, but I soon decided to follow Delphine’s advice. Anyway, we would run into each other every time we meditated.
Night was approaching.
From beneath the mountain, driving the wriggling dusk.
