He said there wasn’t much to prepare.
Stella looked like she was thinking deeply about something with her eyes closed, and I was just watching the starry scenery next to me from afar.
Still, as Stella said, she was concentrating not to miss the scene. How do you show it? I was slightly looking forward to it.
About 5 minutes had passed since then.
“… … weird.”
Stella’s head, who grabbed my hand, tilted gently.
“Why why… … Can’t you hear me?”
The fine forehead narrowed to the middle. He bites his lips and makes a moan.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“… Well, no response. I’ve never been like this before… … Obviously, my voice seems to be reaching out. But no answer. I must have wished for your fate… … ”
I can’t imagine how it feels because I’m not a party. But I know for sure that there is a setback in work. Stella was very troubled and did not know what to do. unexpected situation. I calmly refrained from speaking.
“Gee, wait. Let me tell you one more time.”
“It’s okay to take it slow.”
“Yes… … Whoa, ha.”
With a shallow deep breath, Stella concentrated her mind again. It seemed that the power in the hands holding each other grew a little stronger.
Just like before, I was looking at the white dots of the night sky, and suddenly, Stella was closing her eyes, so I slowly closed my eyelids together. Complete darkness covered my eyes except for a very faint light. A son-in-law all black. My mind was naturally sucked into a deeper and darker place.
That was then.
“… … Also, I can’t hear it. It should look best on a day like today, but it’s really strange. Why is this… … ”
pounding.
The moment your heart pulsates once.
“… … Ezio?”
All senses were cut off in an instant.
The feel of the cool earthen floor and the voice of Stella sitting right next to her. I didn’t feel anything. Is it because I’m too focused? not. I am now alone in a remote world. A dark space where no one else except me exists. The more he struggled to get out, the more he stumbled and fell into the bottom of the swamp. It was like an ant hell.
Even a small cry for help could not be transmitted to the outside world. The mind gradually sinks.
I have no five senses, so I don’t even know where I’m floating and in what position I’m floating. There is only one thing you can see. A space engulfed in pitch black and a halo of reddish light leaking from far beyond. It spread wide left and right like an artificial panorama, and soon it wrapped around me and dyed the whole space pure white.
It was dazzling.
clap. There was a sound of water.

Did your hearing come back? Or has sound finally come to exist? My ankle was also sore. The feeling is back. It was the same context. As I fell on my knees, I splashed and my body was half submerged in the water. He was lying on his face in a desperate posture, and he was always cool. The depth of the sea, where there was no end in sight, was not deep enough to reach only my calves.
and.
I had no choice but to flag the moment.
My face reflected in the water wasn’t the new face of Ezio Cranil that I was just starting to get used to—— it was that of Ezio Cranil, who was short and wretched before.
Black hair with a slight red tint. A blue-eyed boy with an expression of disbelief is projected onto the surface of the water. For a moment, all the accident circuits were temporarily halted on a face that did not know English, something floated in the middle of the sea sparkling in the evening sun.
shoot ah A plume of water appeared, and a stream of water flowed like a loose cloth.
There was not a drop of water on the arms and legs exposed between them. It’s just dazzling. A single ball of light floated in the blazing scarlet sky.
“Remember. boy Remember the contract with the woman (余). Until then, no one will be able to glimpse your inevitability and mortality.”
that–
It was like a single sun.

“——Ezio!”
With someone’s urgent voice, I finally came to my senses.
“Cock, Kahak. Cool… haha… … ”
The five senses that have been blocked come rushing in all at once.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I could see the dirt floor, and sweat dripped from the tip of my damp hair as if I had spilled a drop of water. His whole body was soaked in cold sweat. The breath that had filled up to the tip of his chin was suffocating and he vomited heavily.
“Wait, are you okay!?”
What happened? Stella was lying on the floor, holding my back and shoulders tightly. When I turned my head to the side, tears like silver beads were welling up. It seemed that he was unintentionally worried.
“… … uh ok Whoa.”
“It doesn’t look good at all… … ”
“No, I’m really fine. because it’s okay… … ”
Stella’s magic suddenly poured into me as I regained a sense of reality by picking my breath.
The sweaty clothes and hair returned to their original state. His body, which had become so cold, suddenly became warm. After exhaling a couple of deep breaths in that state, my heart, which had been pounding and pulsating, regained a comfortable rhythm.
“Hey, this is all I can do… … ”
“No, this is enough. thank you.”
He took a position and raised his tilted upper body. He sighed and sat down and looked to the side. Stella looked worried.
“Ezio… … What happened?”
“Rather, I want to ask.”
“Me, I suddenly lost your mind and you turned upside down. … In the meantime, Byul-nim still hasn’t heard her voice, and I thought I was in a really big trouble… … ”

Did you lose consciousness along the way? The last moment I remembered was the moment I closed my eyes while holding Stella’s hand. After that, it was a series of really terrible sensations.
Just thinking about it again makes my stomach churn. As I kept thinking about it, I felt like I could vomit out everything I ate today.
Even though it had just happened, the night sky was ephemeral and peaceful. I was kind of nervous. It must have been related in some way.
“… stellar.”
“Yes.”
“What does the star look like?”
“… … what does it look like That’s why… no way?”
“No, I don’t know yet. That’s why I’m asking.”
Stella, who was hesitant to speak, answered quietly.
“… … That, I don’t know.”
“Uh, you don’t know?”
“yes… You didn’t show it well… … How much do you know your voice? Actually, I can’t express it well, because it changes every time… … ”
“It’s complicated.”
“yes… … ”
He had a face that seemed to have no face because there was nothing he could tell. Not knowing is not a sin. Anyway, Stella said he didn’t know, so I couldn’t determine what the identities of the things I saw were. Stella cautiously asked if she had seen my expression immersed in deep thoughts.
“What happened… … was it?”
“Oh, well.”
how do i say this
“… I saw the sea.”
“ocean?”
“uh. with the sea… … evening sky. And a single ray of light like the sun. that spoke to me I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I told you to remember. I think he said something like inevitability, but I don’t know. sorry. It’s just a little, it’s like I’m still dreaming… … ”
“Oh, no. That’s natural. yes. Keep talking.”
“uh. and… … If there is no past, there is no future, and I think he showed me something. I don’t know about this either… … ”
As I said that, I suddenly looked down at my hands and feet. was fine I even tried to gently touch my face with my hands. A new body, not the previous Ezio Cranil.
thank god. didn’t go back A sigh of relief was let out. Stella watched my series of actions with a smirk.
“Anyway, I don’t think I saw my future fate there. On the other hand, I don’t know. Most of all, it didn’t seem like the star you were talking about.”
“Then, what… … ?”
“Do I know? First of all, I’m sure you’ve had a strange experience that no one else has. Thanks to you, Stella. thank you.”
“Oh, huh? you’re welcome… … ?”
Whatever it is, there’s no doubt that Stella’s abilities had an effect on me. It seems that I haven’t seen anything.
After a while, Stella was right next to me, tidying up her messy cardigan and other clothes, and then slowly closed her eyes again. This time, instead of holding my hand, he was holding his two hands tightly together.
Not long after, Stella opened her eyes again.
“… Ezio, didn’t you say you didn’t look like a star?”
“uh.”
I don’t know if it’s God.
I had that intuition.
“What’s the problem?”
“I wondered what the hell would it be if it weren’t for a star. Now my voice doesn’t reach me at all. This means that I have already used up my opportunity to give the stars a voice.”
“… … what? really?”
“yes. Are you sure. And originally, I should have seen your fate together. Because I listen to the voice first and pass it on to others. But this time, you saw something alone. It’s really the first time something like this has happened.”
The expression on Stella’s face as she said that was mostly embarrassment, but it also seemed to have a bit of interest.
The appearance of crying and worrying about the day I lost consciousness until now is nowhere to be seen, and Stella, who has finally regained a faint smile, turns to me and licks her lips.
“You are special, Ezio.”
special, la.
… … Is that too?
It seems that there are more and more secrets that are difficult to tell other people, so I smiled bitterly for some reason.
#10
late night.
Somewhere on the 2nd basement floor of Frontier Headquarters.
On the narrow hallway with a straight iron floor, under the fluorescent lamps, there were long, cold iron chairs.
A man in his second year as a professor, sitting at the far left, was checking his tie. The well ironed and angled suit was bought the day before from a luxury tailor shop in Burinake.
The analog watch worn on the wrist is also thoroughly inspected. The man, who was worried for a moment, paused the movement of the watch. It was in the bizarre context of fear that the sound of the second hand might irritate the nerves of the person behind the door.
“Whoa, whoa.”
Put your hands on your chest as if you are tensed, and breathe calmly and deeply. He seems to be constantly repeating something in his mind.
cut profit.
When the door right next to me opens, I clench my fists as if something is coming. A man who looks exhausted from the open door staggers like a zombie and walks out.
Without even looking at the man sitting in the chair, he hurriedly walks towards the opposite doorway. It must have been his turn in front of him, but he looked at least ten years old after going in and out.
“Last minute, come in.”
Finally called. The man, who had his eyes closed, stood up from his seat. He moves his body unnaturally like a joint doll or a toy soldier.
A woman dressed in a maid’s suit that does not suit her seat hurriedly walks down the hallway in the door as directed by the woman.
Then, I stopped in front of a certain door.
“You can go in.”
“Yes, Nap.”
chewed to the tongue. There was a fishy taste of blood, but there was no room to worry about it. The man grabbed the handle of the round door. It was cold. As he turned and opened the door, a stinky cigarette smoke swept into the man’s nostrils.
Even a man who was usually a smoker was disgustingly frowned upon. So the smoke was very poisonous. But never reveal it. I opened the door carelessly and closed the door, and there was a thumping sound. Then, the structure of a small single room size caught my eye.
A room with a bluish light permeating the walls. A long table was placed in the center, and two chairs were placed opposite each other. Someone sitting on a chair far from the man had his legs crossed and draped across the table. It was a very long leg.
gulp.
The moment the man swallowed his saliva and approached the chair to sit down.
“Stop moving. Who told you to sit down?”
The man’s body stiffened.
Someone who had been smoking a string cigarette, squeezing it in his mouth and rubbing it roughly into an ashtray on the table, turned it off. More precisely, it was roughly thrown into a grave made of the remains of dead cigarettes on an ashtray. Two to one month’s supply had been consumed in one day. Oh my gosh. The man groaned inwardly.
Whether he thought that way or not, someone on the other side was still very twisted. The man immediately bowed his back so that it was close to a right angle.
“I’m sorry, Elena-sama.”
“uh.”
He waved his hand as if it was bothersome to answer any further.
Originally, Elena wasn’t even that kind of an idiot. Although they received special requests from the Frontier Headquarters, they were clearly Frontier’s talents and valuable human resources.
Even if Elena’s normal status ate a lot of royalty, there was no need to look down on them. Because of that, Elena was also respectful at first. only at the beginning.
This damn big city had a lot of professors. Elena has been living in this place since that day. You can’t go out until it’s all over. Countless times, I thought about hitting him in the middle because it was f*cking f*cked up, but I couldn’t because I had promised something. It’s been two days since I lost my will. Elena was perverted.
Oily black hair fluttered in the air. A black tank top and wide-breasted training pants that cling to a solid upper body. Cigarette smoke and a rotten face reminded him of an old and sick beast.
Yes. Even when he was old and sick, the beast was still a beast. Only the sharply torn eyes were shining with a brilliant gold color.
“So, did I tell you to sit down?”
“… … yes?”
The man who was about to sit quietly by looking at the timing suddenly stood tall. Elena didn’t answer. Without saying a word, he flicked through the documents he was holding, as if he was holding his hand, and scanned the last page very quickly.
Write down the man’s name and personal details. Check the items in turn. say it’s right Then it’s almost over. So far, this has been a formal question.
Elena tilted her chin.
“Stand right there. You don’t have to tell me.”
“Yes, yes?”
This was the real start.
Elena pulled back the eyepatch covering her left eye. no, it’s solved The man instinctively stiffened his body. It couldn’t be more stone than that.
“I check all the facts on my own. You won’t be able to tell a lie in front of me. If you see anything hiding from me from this moment on, you die here. Did you understand?”
Elena’s left eye, which was finally revealed, was open. To be precise, it was immersed in pitch-black darkness. As those inorganic eyes looked straight at him, a fear he had never felt in his life wrapped around the man’s whole body and every cell.
The man nodded his head like crazy.
