100 – 25. Without Hesitation (1)
“Cool, cool!”
The man vomits dark red blood and breathes heavily.
If support had been a little late, he would have died on the spot.
“Are you crazy? What kind of foolish thing is that!”
“Noisy. you said I will definitely keep that.”
“So, that is nothing! Why!”
It’s Roxanne who doesn’t make a lot of noise for a while.
Even if Adele does something weird, even if her colleagues do stupid things.
Even her eyes are that she doesn’t understand the current situation.
Even though he was a wolfheddin who would fight to the death with the monsters no matter how hard he did.
At least I know how to move and how to fight.
It’s difficult to be surrounded, so it keeps moving, and it breaks the spirit by being more cruel than necessary.
It was the most common way to fight like that.
Like this man now, he doesn’t fight by giving his body in one place.
“Whoa.”
Even as blood was dripping from all over his body, the man had a relieved expression.
Looking at the flowers blowing in the wind right behind him.
“Why did you do that?”
Adele came forward and asked in a cold voice.
From nob le mt l. co m
Most of the time, Wolfhedin doesn’t ask about each other’s actions.
However, this incident was unusual enough to break that unwritten rule.
For one person to fight against multiple demon beasts in one sitting, it is just to die.
It is a direct refutation of Wolfheddin’s code of conduct, which requires killing at least one more.
“It reminded me of my wife.”
To Adele’s question, the man answered with a smile.
“… Your wife, you mean?”
“When I proposed to her, I handed out that flower. It’s a wild flower that doesn’t even have a name and doesn’t bloom well. She liked it as if it were some great gift. So every year, whenever it blooms, I pick it up. Even now, I take it to my grave every time. They say that these flowers still bloom.”
“This is stupid. So what are flowers?”
“It’s not that much of a flower. At least, if it’s a flower I give to someone I love.”
It was an incomprehensible answer. At least, it was for Adele.
“Step back. And, the future direction of the battle will be determined by His Majesty.”
“i get it. sorry. Leader.”
The man moved from the battlefield to the rear like that.
And not long after, news came that he had finally died.
“They say he’s dead.”
“… .”
“I picked some flowers on the way and sent them. Give it to your wife when you see her.”
“… Well done.”
Hearing Roxanne’s words, Adele turned her head.
The flowers that my colleague tried to protect even to the point of dying are rustling.
They are just grass that has no value to anyone.
But for someone else, the most beautiful gift for someone you love.
These were words I still couldn’t understand.
“Let’s go.”
Adele stood up from her seat and took a step.
Roxanne and the other Wolfheddin followed suit.
Push the wires forward. Don’t let them come here again.
So that those flowers can be a small gift given to someone else.
* * *
“… .”
Adele finished her old thoughts and looked to the side.
There, the flowers that a colleague had gifted to his woman were blooming.
Come to think of it, he said he was tired at a specific place during this time.
A flower that is not very rare, but not very common.
A colleague fought for just this and eventually lost his life.
No, to be precise, he didn’t die fighting to protect the flower.
To protect the memories of you and your loved ones standing here.
And believing that someone’s happy life is also here.
Because I couldn’t see it being trampled on by the hateful demons.
Toutuk -.
Adele reached out and picked some flowers.
And after looking at the flower in my hand for a while, I stood up.
When I went back to my party, they were just preparing to depart.
After looking around for a moment, Adele moved cautiously.
I was nervous that someone would ask me what was in my hand.
“Adele?”
Finally, where he arrived, Shien was seated.
While discussing the schedule with the knights, she came to Adele’s side.
“Where have you been?”
“ah… He has been looking around for a bit.”
“okay. But didn’t I tell you? Where were you going and what did you tell me to do?”
“He told me to go ahead and say something.”
“I know that. I thought you forgot.”
“sorry.”
“There is no need to apologize. Come on, let’s go.”
Adele was fiddling with the flowers in her hand.
It wasn’t easy to get it out until Shien climbed into the carriage.
It reminds me of what I said to Shien just a few hours ago.
Did you say that you want to do the same, that you want to have the same mindset?
Now that I think about it, I don’t know why he suddenly said that.
Was it simply because Shien said that first, and I followed it without even realizing it?
Or is it that this was his innermost heart, but he couldn’t bear to spit it out.
“If you go a little further, you are in the north. When you arrive, people will be very surprised about you again, right?”
As if he was looking forward to it so much, he enjoyed it as if it were his own work.
Adele, who had been staring blankly at the flowing silver hair for a while, responded reflexively to that.
“yes. I think so.”
“I look forward to it. If this is the case, I think everyone will quickly ask for a knight.”
“Isn’t that when you take the knight test?”
“Of course it is. I intend to keep my word that no exceptions will be made.”
So, he’s still my servant. It was Shien who said.
To be honest, Adele didn’t care whether she was a servant or a knight.
Anything is fine as long as I can be by her side.
Just before Shien goes inside and the carriage door closes.
Adele said ‘over there.’ I managed to catch Shien.
“yes? What’s wrong, Adele?”
“… this.”
In his hand, which had a face of shame, were holding flowers he had brought.
“flower… ?”
Perhaps it was completely unexpected, Shien asked in a blank tone.
I accepted it reflexively, but I was quite surprised.
“uh… Did you bring it for me… ?”
“A former colleague did it because these flowers are a gift to someone important.”
Even though I can’t even reveal my inner feelings properly.
And in the meantime, Adele puts into practice what she heard somewhere.
Seeing that double appearance, Shien blinked before bursting into laughter.
“Ahahahahaha!!”
“If it’s strange, I’ll use a different flower… .”
“No, no! ha… , Just, just a little dumbfounded.”
“What are you talking about?”
It was really difficult to approach, but it was so difficult to close the distance and go right in front.
When I looked at it up close, I saw that he was nothing.
On the contrary, isn’t Adele herself more at a loss and paying attention?
How can you think of such ferocity after seeing such a figure?
Right now, I just don’t know what to do.
puppy, yes It looked like a puppy wagging its tail.
Shien carefully inspected the flower in her hand.
It’s not like an expert in this kind of knowledge, but it’s more than basic.
When I came down to the center as if I was running away, I looked at the grass and flowers to soothe my depression.
I never thought it would help in this way.
“It’s a cotton flower.”
“Cotton flower… You mean?”
“yes. The petals are so white and so fluffy. That is why it is called cotton flower.”
“I knew it first. The name of this flower.”
Come to think of it, I wonder why I didn’t ask him the name of this flower.
At the time, I was crazy about killing demons, and that was the only thought.
I hadn’t even thought about looking around.
“I will. It’s just one of the wild flowers. Until I read the book too. And I didn’t know until I actually went out and saw it.”
“ah… .”
“Coming to think of it, I still have my own flower language. Do you know what these flowers mean?”
“I do not know.”
“It is devoted love. A wild flower whose name is not well known has been given such a flower language.”
devoted love, devoted love. love love. love… .
“uh.”
It was Adele who suddenly realized that there was some strange word in it.
Even though he had already shown his feelings to Shien just a few hours ago.
Is it a love that can still be approached for real, or is it not worth it?
When he thought about who he was and where Shien was, he had no choice but to worry.
“sorry. Mr. Sien. That’s what I meant… .”
“why? I am good.”
With a bashful smile, Cien held Adele’s hand.
Then, as she lightly pulls her in front of her, Adele comes along.
“Thank you, Adele.”
“no. i just… .”
“Because it’s not polite to just accept… I will replace it with this one.”
And the moment when you feel warm and soft as it touches your cheek.
how about adele? And without realizing it, I let out a sigh.
“Hmmm! Hey, now it’s okay to do this, right? Yes? Am I right?”
Is there something that bothers you even after doing it yourself?
When I said that while blushing, Adele finally smiled.
