“Are you curious about that?”
“Don’t be curious. It was because he was my dear friend. I want him to be happy wherever he is.”
Shriel seemed to be saying that seriously.
“I heard that Rubia was admitted to the Epic class, but I had no idea that you were also enrolled. At the end of the day, I don’t have the face to visit Rubia myself, so I have no choice but to ask you about your current situation. It’s a silly question, but I hope you understand it broadly. To be honest, it’s true that I’m worried.”
“Why don’t you have a face?”
“Yeah… … Isn’t it natural?”
Shriel swallowed a sigh and continued.
“I did not save the child there. It was you who saved me, not me. Since then, I have said and done things that it would be better not to see my face if possible… … I wish I could tell you this far.”
I silently listened to Shriel.
Shriel next to me is talking to herself.
In the clear story that Rubia was targeted, it is said that the child could not be saved.
On the other hand, it is said that it is the country that has been saved.
It was an assumption I had already made in my head, but more and more solid evidence was gradually added.
“… … Yeah, that’s the part where I have to apologize to you. I didn’t ask about Rubia’s current situation, I had to do this first.”
Shriel stopped standing tall after taking a step.
“sorry. Ezio Cranil.”
bowed his head to me.
“… … Seniors?”
“I promised Rubia not to tell the truth, but I broke it.”
I was taken aback for a moment, but Shuriel didn’t care and didn’t even raise her head.
“I couldn’t help but do it. I think there must have been an aftermath not only for Rubia but also for you. But even if keeping a secret was really the way for Rubia, I thought it was right to tell the truth. It would be impossible to accumulate achievements through false karma.”
It’s true.
What do you mean?
“Senior, raise your head.”
“Because he was an incompetent senior who was not helpful at all, I always had a sinful heart towards you. I was going to visit him one day, apologize formally, and thank him for saving the child… … It’s like I’m in a body where I can’t even take a single step out of the tower. I rarely see private matters.”
You can tell just by looking at it. How much Shriel is suffering on the Star of Akasha. I first bowed my head in the middle of the street and stopped Shriel’s behavior to apologize to me.
“You don’t have to apologize to me.”
“Even if that were the case, I must say thank you. Thank you so much for saving Rubia instead of me who was incompetent at that time, Ezio Cranil. I couldn’t help but admire your courage to set your death on fire.”
“… … ”
what do you mean He was a very upright person. It’s also the same as the fact that he really cares for Rubia’s voice.
I was silent, and I muttered softly.
“I saved Rubia, la… … Is that so.”
“… … ?”
Shriel seemed to question for a moment at my mysterious atmosphere of talking about other people’s affairs.
“… … It did. As I remember, at that time, it wouldn’t be strange if you died right away. Then he said he had a place to go and went somewhere. Looking at you now, you seem to have completely recovered without leaving a single scar. Did you receive a blessing from the High Priest at the temple?”
“that is.”
I stopped talking for a while.
I looked ahead while fixing the box.
“I don’t know.”
“… … ?”
I said.
“Shriel-senpai.”
“Something?”
“Even if you apologize so much, I cannot forgive you.”
“… … ?”

Did Shriel make such a big mistake?
That’s not it.
“I have no idea what Shriel-senpai is talking about.”
“… … what?”
“To be precise, I lost all my memories of what happened that day. All I can remember right now is just a piece of information I got from what I heard from Rubia.”
“… … What does that mean?”
“It is literally. You say that it was me, not your senior, who saved Rubia that day, but I have no memory of what that sentence contains. It just sounds like someone else’s business. Because of that, I can’t empathize with the situation I was in, so forgiveness would be absurd in the end. It’s like I’m not a party to you mentally.”
It was for that reason that he was unable to answer any of Shuriel’s questions, which must have been many.
“Remember… … are you lost? All that happened back then?”
“yes. I just understood the situation.”
Obviously, me and Shriel were in the same place that day. How many times have we had conversations? If Shriel hadn’t pretended to know me while talking to Rubia’s friend at the entrance of the tower, I might have glanced at Shriel and passed by. Except for a few greetings with Shuriel while still in school, there was no connection whatsoever.
But as long as Shriel pretended to know me, it was no different than proof that my fuzzy assumptions had come true, so I was able to act naturally in front of Shriel.
It is natural for me to remember Shuriel’s face. It was impossible not to know.
Even on that winter day when it snowed-
Rubia was with Shriel.
He already knew that Rubia and Shuriel of the Ministry of Magic had been close. So, I must have been able to fully remember Shuriel.
It was all thanks to Rubia and his deep bond that he was able to relate to the events that took place that day.
More than anything.
I am a senior who was invited as a teaching assistant on the day of the Ministry of Magic. … As I recall, the Ministry of Magic at Lorsen Academy has a tradition of calling last year’s senior graduate as an assistant every year at the camp just before graduation.
Then, there is only one person who will become a teaching assistant.
Shriel de Laparte next to me.
I heard that I was kidnapped by demons while I was heading to the shopping street to buy lunch with that person, so it must have been.
There were three people in total.
Rubia, I, and Shriel de Laparte.
At that time, Rubia said in the hut that it seems that I was also involved there. So I saved him. Until the demons were very badly beaten.
It’s not like it’s actually wrong, when I look back on my memories of waking up in the temple, a priest once said to me, ‘I died and came back to life’. He even gave some pretty grotesque analogies. Again, it was terrible, but I couldn’t empathize because I had no memory.
to sum it up.
I got caught up in a kidnapping incident that happened on Mu’s birthday when Rubia and Shuriel were going to the shopping mall to buy food, and there, after suffering near-death wounds, I succeeded in saving Rubia.
Immediately afterward, he headed somewhere, and in that gap, there must have been an incident that was probably related to Mew. After that, he woke up after being healed at the Temple of the Sun. The body is completely reconstructed.
At first, I was full of doubts.
As a result of constantly thinking about it every night.
Now all the angles fit together tightly.
But.
the scariest thing
So what… …
That there is no excitement whatsoever.
It wasn’t something I personally experienced, so I didn’t have any impressions.
Like this, if I couldn’t find the memory, there were probably things I would never know for the rest of my life. I don’t know if something terrifying will happen if I get it back, but I still had to find my memory.
“Maybe that… … ”
Shriel seemed to be quite shocked by my words that she had lost her memory.
“… … You mean you don’t even remember the time you clenched your teeth and bumped into the barrier in the dark forest?”
“… … Did I?”
“It did. very forgiving With that ignorant act, it was you who broke the barrier in which Rubia was imprisoned. I still don’t know the identity of the mysterious light that poured out immediately after… … As long as I have lost my memory, it would be unreasonable to ask you any more.”
look at this
You don’t even know what you’re talking about
Anyway, I did… … I don’t know what courage I had to do such a reckless thing.
In the first place, if it were a barrier, the demons who were called masters of demons had put it up, how did I manage to survive by smashing it into pieces?
because I don’t know any of that.
You have to find your memory.
“Looking at your face, it doesn’t seem like a lie. I don’t know why there was a blank space in your head, but… … I think it might be better to just lose the memory. The last time I saw you, you looked like a corpse. Obviously, something terrible that cannot be explained in words must have happened within the barrier.”
Shriel shuddered slightly as if recalling that time. What a shocking sight it was. Everyone who mentioned it reacted like that, so I was curious about it.
“The reason I came this far was, in fact, to get my lost memories back.”
“… … what? Is that for real?”
“Yes.”
“Meeting Ma Thap-ju, then… … ”
I kept my head down.
“He might be able to help me,” said Elena Crymore.
“… … is it. Elena. To the extent of receiving direct help from a giant among giants, it really makes sense to you in your current position.”
Unlike the person guarding the entrance, Shuriel seemed to believe what I said at once. Did you really think there was no reason to lie? Shows admiration or surprise at the fact that he has come into contact with a historical war hero.
“I wish you the best of luck on the planet of Akasha. Ezio Cranil.”
“I hope you are always in good health. ”
“I try hard every day. It’s not easy.”
Shriel chuckled.
To such Shuriel, I.
“By the way. Seniors.”
“Something?”
It was about to arrive close to the tower.
As if she was going to lift it from here, Shriel put her hand under the box I was holding. Take that heavy thing and lift it up once with a short cheer. I asked Shuriel, who was holding the box, as I shook my hand.
“What is the truth you are talking about?”
“… … ”
Why is Shriel apologizing to me?
Because I told Rubia the truth.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t guess at all, but it would be more certain to hear from the person concerned.
Shriel closed her eyelids for a moment and opened them.
“… … You entrusted me with Rubia, who was unconscious, and hurriedly left for somewhere. Before I left, I asked you a favor. It was me, not you, who was here. You begged me to never tell Rubia that you saved her.”
“… … ”
“I promised to do that with you… … In the end, I couldn’t keep my promise. Driven by guilt, I confessed it to Rubia.”
“… … ”
“Then Rubia’s face… … After all, that’s why I was worried.”
Shriel continued with a worried face.
“Well, the fact that you saved Rubia is an immutable fact. It is also an obvious fact that Rubia, who did not know it at first, learned the whole story because of me. … … Rubia is a very kind child, so she may have felt a lot of guilt towards you.”
That’s really what it says
Rubia constantly felt guilty about me. He shed tears and apologized one after another.
I became that way because of you. I’m sorry that you didn’t even know that I saved you.
He would have blamed everything on him.
Because Rubia was such a kid.
Considering Rubia’s feelings, who must have heard the full story of the incident through someone else’s mouth, it wasn’t that she didn’t understand it at all.
Again, I couldn’t agree with you 100%.
“this. It’s already time… … ”
Shriel frowned and looked back at me.
“Unfortunately, I have to go in here. There’s something I’d like to hear more of from you… … Time is running out.”
“Ah yes. Thanks for the story.”
“If there is anything to do with a wizard other than the mage master, you can ask at the reception desk located in the inner corridor. And you have to go out before 3pm. Do not forget.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“okay. then… … ”
After a brief greeting.
The moment I was about to move to the open door of the tower.
“Ezio Cranil.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Ask me one more question.”
“Please speak.”
Shriel turned and looked at me,
“Rubia… … How have you been?”
so asked
What’s up.
isn’t it
When asked which side it was, the weight placed on the scale had no choice but to lean to one side.
‘… … ‘
Nevertheless, I
“yes. I am doing well.”
He nodded his head calmly.
“… … is it.”
Shriel.
He looked like a mixture of emotions,
“… … Please take good care of the child so that he will not be sad. The only person she can depend on will be you for now.”
with mumbles in English.
“Still, I wish I could give you a greeting.”
Put a small smile on your lips,
“I’ll just go. Let’s see each other again later if we get to know each other. Don’t get into an argument with bad-tempered wizards, take care of yourself and go, junior.”
thump, thump.
It slowly disappeared into the huge tower.
