#3
not one but two Two rings were shining brightly. It wasn’t Rubia who didn’t know what this ring meant. You could tell just by looking at the inscriptions on the outside.
—Love to you, eternity to us.
Coupling.
Each ring was engraved with an initial starting with E and M.
There was a huge difference between hearing the relationship between Ezio and Mew in the past and seeing it in person.
As the solid evidence was presented in front of her eyes, Rubia felt as if her eyes were going black for a moment.
“… Ugh.”
He himself didn’t know why he was doing this.
Ignoring Mew, who started to stare at Rubia with her mouth shut as if her hidden teeth were caught, I quietly looked down at the coupling of Ezio and Mew on my palm.
Complex emotions quickly filled Rubia’s head, but at the same time, strong doubts arose.
“This… … Why do you have it?”
“… … ”
Rubia asks Mew once more.
As far as I know, the relationship was already over. The proof was that Mu himself introduced himself to Rubia as Ezio’s ex-girlfriend.
Not to mention, they showed each other quite awkwardly in the beginning. There were a lot of difficult things to see as still maintaining a good relationship.
Still, the ring remained.
why?
Rubia did not know the meaning of the item of coupling. When my friends broke up with my lover for some reason, I often saw them vomit in anger, remove the ring and throw it on the shore of the lake.
Even if it was a fairly expensive fit, he threw it away without hesitation. I asked why.
Rings are things that prove that they are lovers, but since they are no longer lovers, isn’t it right to throw them away?
Above all, whenever you see a ring, you will always think of your ex-lover, so why do you have it uselessly?
In fact, most of them were children of wealthy aristocrats, so they could throw them away mercilessly, but I was reluctant to even resell them to jewelers, and I heard that there are some cases where they are thrown away as a sign of severing the past.
I did.
What does it mean to carry the share of your ex-boyfriend with you?
Even though Rubia was ignorant of love, she seemed to know something this time.
In the end, I couldn’t cut it.
Ezio had never been forgotten.
By the way, Mew was always trying to stick with Ezio. I wanted to reunite with a body that wasn’t proud of me, aiming for an opportunity that would come one day. Rubia couldn’t help but think so. It was at the same time that emotions that could not be described in words ran up his back.
“──I told you not to touch it!”
The sword is not drawn. Mew, who fired with her sword, rushed towards Rubia like a beam of light.
It didn’t look like they would give it back simply by asking for it back. Even so, Mew didn’t want anyone to know the existence of the ring now. Not to mention Rubia, if Ezio finds out… … I didn’t want to even imagine. The fact that that ring still exists had to remain his own secret in the world.
“Barrier.”
—Kan!
Reflexively raising her body and bouncing in the rush of Mew’s sword attack, Rubia turned around and stopped by reaching out her hand.
—Crazy!
Waves of powerful magical power surge in all directions. Sparks flew like sparks from the crumpled magical barrier.
“Wow!”
In the end, Mu, who was pushed back from the competition, quickly jumped back.
‘Than you think… … Are you strong?’
Rather than being pushed back by Rubia’s strength and magic, I thought that it would completely overwhelm me, but I was blocked too easily. As in the case of Mew, Rubia was a formidable genius. It seemed far-fetched to break the barrier unless Mu pulled out his true sword.
“Give it up.”
I hold my breath and look forward. On the other hand, Rubia was quietly looking down at her palms, thinking about what she was thinking.
Then he clenched his hand like a clenched fist. Her lips were tightly shut. Her emerald-colored eyes vibrated softly like candles swaying in the wind.
Mew spoke slowly, emphasizing each letter.
“I told you to give it away.”
“… … ”
That thing shouldn’t be in that hand. No one else knew, but Rubia shouldn’t have had that ring.
I feel like the good memories with Ezio are being tainted by that person, and I can’t stand it anymore.
Then Rubia turned around and said.
“If you answer the question, I will return it to you.”
“Shut up and let it go. Before I draw the sword.”
“Pull it out.”
“What?”
“Take it out. Because I don’t care.”
That’s never going to happen. There was no referee to mediate Dalian, and this was not Dalian. A fight fought in a state where each other’s feelings became intense. The moment Mu draws out his true sword just because Rubia’s permission was granted, the situation drops to a point where it can no longer be undone.
but.
“You told me to pick it up.”
“yes.”
Mew put his hand to the scabbard as if it went well. The long swords stretched downwards, scattering sharp swords. Rubia’s face reflected on the blackened sword was dyed with a strange look.
I didn’t want to hurt anyone, and I didn’t want to hurt anyone. But there is no way to get rid of the old feelings.
Overcomplicated emotions flooded in like a flood, and Rubia slowly raised her magic power to get them out.
I didn’t expect it to become such a big fight, but it didn’t seem too bad either.
If it was Rubia, she would have left the ring obediently and went back without asking about other people’s circumstances. There would be personal privacy.
However, seeing the relationship between this object and Mew and Ezio, Rubia did not like the future of returning the ring to Mew as it is. It seemed that only after hearing Mew’s answer as to why he still kept this ring would he be able to return it.
Of course, Mew had no intention of revealing his heart to anyone, even to Rubia, so he was confronting Rubia with his sword drawn as it is now.
“I thought I’d be like this with you someday.”
“Surprisingly, so did I.”
I’d rather have it like this. I liked this a lot more than having an arguing. At first, Mew thought so, but it didn’t seem that different from Rubia.
Mew, holding a sword in one hand, gave strength to her hand. The two entered into a confrontation. The figure of Rubia came into the sight of Mew, who stared forward with serious eyes.
—Woo… …
“I heard a lot about your sword. Strong, fast, and above all, you can cut what ordinary people can’t. There’s something special about your swordsmanship… … ”
Rubia mumbled that in a low voice. Holding the two rings in his hand, he quietly raises his hand.
“then.”
—Keehee.
A faint reflected light shines from the green eyes.
As if drawing a picture, he carves a flexible curve in the air. A crackling spark rose along Rubia’s fingertips. A small hole is formed in the place where it has already passed. It was densely engraved like small dots and soon joined together, creating an oval-shaped crack.
“Can we even cut space?”
The manifestation of five-level space-based magic.
The distant background is just black. A dimension of emptiness where nothing exists. It was a distant space, as if looking at the night sky in a world where all the stars had fallen.
There were many reasons why space-based magic was classified as a very dangerous magic. This is because the caster may be sucked into the void dimension.
If that happens, existence ceases to exist. It disappears to the other side of the human world, and even the corpse cannot be found.
Of course, when Rubia casts such a spell, she didn’t really want to kill Mew.
If the cracks in the created space are manipulated as they are and blown away, or if the portal is created in time for Mew’s attack, it can be sent to the void dimension, but then it will spread out of control.
In other words, if your sword cannot cut through the space, it would be better to give it up early, so it was a threat.
In fact, space-based magic is very difficult to maintain. The space that had been torn for a while was soon filled up again with cracks.
But you will have to re-create it. Rubia was ready to tear up space at any time.
“That’s it… … ”
When Rubia asked if your swordsmanship could cut through space, Mew smiled low for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“You don’t know until you try.”
“… … ”
He seemed to have made up his mind quite a bit.
“okay? then… … ”
Rubia beckoned softly.
OK.
—Uhhh… …
A shallow wind begins to blow in the closed theater with the windows too.
and.
—Hurry up!
The flames blazing along the circles embroidered with red light in the air clung to each other like a skein of thread, forming a single sphere.
The hot heat makes the skin red. Rubia’s pale pink hair shone brightly, reflecting the color of the flames.
Once again, Rubia’s hand gestures float through the air.
Kugugu Palace… …
The floor of the gymnasium where Mew and Rubia stood on their feet shook slightly for an instant.
It was not a sudden earthquake. It was a kind of signal that Rubia’s magic was ready to be cast.
Her hair fluttered with the wind that slowly began to blow. A faint blue light flickered from the outline of Rubia’s body.
Even the airflow inside the gymnasium shakes unstable. Following Rubia’s will, the wind rages even more. The multiple fireballs that Rubia summoned ignite more violent flames.
It gradually increased in age, and eventually five huge fireballs were floating around Rubia.
“I’ll ask again, just in case you don’t know.”
The raging wind would become the blade of the wind at any time according to Rubia’s orders and cut Mew down without mercy.
Fireballs aren’t the only ones ready to shoot at any moment. In front, a spear of ice pointed towards the opponent.
this moment right now,
The master of the dance hall was Rubia.
Rubia spread her palms with a backlit face. Two rings of courtesy were placed on it.
“Why do you still have this? You’re actually still Ezio… … Couldn’t you let me go?”
As Mew himself suggested, what the hell were you trying to do next to Ezio, who would have been hurt in body and mind because of you and me on a topic that wasn’t up to snuff?
Not just a simple atonement.
Were you greedy and wanted something else?
Rubia asks.
“… … ”
With her sunken eyes, Mew estimated the strength of the magical power that Rubia felt.
It was a huge level.
Undeniably, it is strong.
Indeed, he deserved to be praised as the genius of the century.
However.
“… … Did I say that if I answered, I would return it?”
“yes.”
“I’ll give you an answer. But, don’t give it back.”
“… … What?”
Who was stronger and weaker, it was something to judge from now on.
“You wouldn’t be the kind of guy who would tell Ezio out of nowhere. Because there doesn’t seem to be much of a kink.”
Mew tapped the tip of her sword and touched the floor.
Hwaak-
The sword was dyed with an intense blue light.
“I still like Ezio no matter what happened in the past. And you will always love it. There is only one person I will love, Ezio. Why would you want to sacrifice your life for someone you don’t even like in the first place?”
That’s right. However, Rubia had a blank expression on her face for a moment at the too aggressive expression.
As if there was nothing to back down after this happened, he looked bold and confident without fear. His long black hair fluttered and he wiped his lips with the back of his hand.
“… … Yeah, that’s right. therefore… … ”
Rubia murmured. At the same time, many thoughts ran through Rubia’s mind. I even wanted to stop here. But the fire was already lit, and Mew seemed unwilling to stop it. Rather, as if he wanted to see it once in a while, he began to raise his magical power by swinging his sword curiously.
Rubia, who was silently watching Mew like that.
“I’ll give you this back.”
“… … ?”
While clenching and unfolding his palm meaninglessly, he lightly tossed what was in it to Mew.
“… … What do you think?”
Mew, who accidentally returned a precious item, swallows a question and puts it back in her arms for a while.
“No, just.”
Rubia shook her head.
“now… I thought it might be okay.”
I stretched out my hand forward.
—Hurry up!
The fireballs, which had suddenly grown into seven, drew a reddish trajectory and rushed towards Mew at the same time.
#4
“… … Yes?”
The fluorescent lights in the hallway flickered unsteadily a few times, and the floor on which they stood shook lightly. It was scary because I was alone in a dark place, but it was natural to be scared because there was even a bizarre phenomenon.
“What, what… … ?”
After finishing chores, Yuri, who was about to exit through the hallway on the first floor of Building 3 and through the door, suddenly began to scan her surroundings anxiously, wiping her trembling shoulders.
I walked slowly, narrowing my eyes, thinking that someone might suddenly stick my head out at the end of the hallway.
‘… … uh?’
and then.
-thud! Kugugugung!
—Kan! Kaang!
I saw the flames flashing.
The cause of the earthquake seemed to be right there.
At the place where she cautiously moved closer, Yuri could finally see.
—Kan! Kaan! Whoops!
—Koogugugung! Whoops!
The sword and magic were collided.
“Oh, no?”
The first-year-only gymnasium, which looks like the floor has been turned upside down and broken in half. Witnessing the scene of distrust taking place there, Yuri screamed in shock.
—Bump!
“Hey, hey, hey! yaah! What are you doing! Hey you guys! stop! stop! Stop it right now!”
