“Looking at your face, it looks right.”
“… … ”
Why do you even know about other people’s love affairs?
“Why do you even know this? Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I found out, it’s because the first person told me directly.”
“… … Yes? Did you tell me-“
“I asked if I would kill or save you, who became a monster, and he asked me not to kill you. I was so desperate, I wanted to know how close I was to you. But she said she was my girlfriend. I was shocked when it suddenly came in.”
“… … ”
I knew there was a Mew around the scene, but I did. What the hell happened then?
After a moment of confusion, Elena looked at me with strange eyes and said:
“Of course, if you put your mind to it, you can find out how far you and your ex-girlfriend really fell in love. I am tired now.”
“… … Even if you’re not tired, please don’t fall for it. If I stay in front of you, I think I will be more careful about everything I think about.”
“okay. okay. i know I’m not going to make tea on the outside. Can’t I just secretly look at it and pretend I don’t know?”
Not at all. Seniors.
“But there is. Is that kind of fun?”
“… … ?”
tilted his head.
“Once upon a time, I met a cute little girl called Ice Flower among the three people, and she really looked like she was blowing ice flakes as rumored. He even broke the engagement he had promised two generations ago, and he has no intention of marrying anyone. He had a very strong conviction that he was even prepared to take the family surname from his name.”
Elena suddenly started a lonely story.
“No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t a face that didn’t know a man. Of course, I don’t know much about that side. Why are you saying something like that? People who have never done dating counseling or advice do better.”
Those words mean that Elena-senpai’s dating experience… … I was going to think about this for a while, but I thought I would get caught up with this, so I stopped at once. It’s because I didn’t think I’d be able to see anything good.
Fortunately, the aftermath did not come. In the dizzying smoke, Elena says with a smile.
“I look closely at what criminals can’t see even if they open their eyes and look, so when he moves. when sitting in a chair. when someone calls you to sleep. when taking a walk in the garden. When I’m listening to the marriage story in front of me again, which I’ve been hearing so much about. And, when you go to the room and tell the butler what to do. When he saw that the butler was the only person in a room that no one could enter, even everyone in the mansion, including his father. Even though I knew it was a very serious rudeness, I checked it once.”
Even thinking about that moment, I can’t help but laugh out loud, so Elena tilted her chin and took her hand to the cigarette.
“I found out that it was a relationship like a love affair. By the way, he has been serving since the previous generation. Are you over fifty years old?”
“… … ”
“It’s like that. People don’t know anything by looking at them. No one knows what shocking secrets may be hidden from whom.”
There are people who hide their swords behind them with a smile, and there are also cases where they have their head cut off while sleeping by someone they truly trusted.
What you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth. The ugly the truth is, the deeper it is hidden.
“In that sense, what we have taken for granted so far may not be natural. The world runs by rules, but it’s always full of exceptions. There will always come a moment when the common sense you used to know doesn’t work at all. … No, you must have already come.”
Saying so, he shook his head again.
“You have already broken the law once. me too It’s the same with your ex-girlfriend I just talked about.”
The truth is unknown. But why is mu mentioned together here? At first glance, the story of the past she told me seems to come to mind like an illusion.
“… What do you mean by breaking the rules?”
Whoops.
Elena suddenly raised her finger.
“Reverse Heaven.”
“… Yes?”
“I mean, it went against the sky.”
Elena lowered her hand helplessly and smiled.
“Unfortunately, it was Heaven and no one else who gave Gus a chance, led us to a situation where we should be, and allowed us to do so. Nevertheless, the sky itself claims to be fair, so it dares to pay a price against the sky. … Well, it’s not even funny. I don’t think the words “give me a bottle and give me medicine” should be used for something like this.”
“… … ”
“This is a different story. There are those who crawl on the ground from the start, and there are those who have wings and are in the sky in the distance. Considering that a god who is fairer than anyone else rules, the human world is never fair. yea- yes Because there is a very big difference in the standard of fairness between the immortal god and the mortal man.”
Elena speaks as if flowing. I had no choice but to agree with the story that the world is unfair. It’s just me right now I remember the days of those days when I shaved my bones to find even useless talents.
Even though I was like that, I was born as a nobleman from day one. Everything he ate, what he wore, he grew up without lacking anything. Those who do not have even that and are dying must exist somewhere on the continent.
“In the end, that’s what it is. From the point of view of heaven, the life of a human being is good no matter what. live or die. Whether you’re sad or happy… … As long as the world runs and stays the way it’s supposed to – whatever man truly wants, he cares nothing about fate. Then we have to keep our mouths shut and follow. Because I can’t dare to defy the sky. If it bothers you, you have to pay the price.”
It was kind of a self-help fight.
Elena continues.
“However, there are exceptions to Heavenly Principle, which is more absolute than any other law. We are the exceptions born to handle those exceptions.”
I asked in an awkward part.
“… … Us, huh?”
“You and me. yes ex girlfriend… yes, one time. music. Other than that, the guys who are bound by a contract with the damn sky.”
–contract.
Hearing those words from Elena’s mouth, she suddenly remembered what happened last time. fiery glow. wide sea. Remember to remember your contract with yourself. Something has to do with it. I couldn’t help but think that way.
That’s when I fell into thoughts.
“Junior.”
“… Yes, sir.”
“As you know, I was in the war 10 years ago. What do you think is the essential cause of the war?”
Humans and demons have been fighting for territory outside the borders of the continent since time immemorial. The long history of war is deep-rooted. The most recent record ended with a massive victory for mankind.
“… … Because demons are enemies of mankind, isn’t it?”
They fight because they are enemies. beheaded and bleed The devil takes human blood and flesh, and for this reason, mankind hates demons, the obvious enemies of mankind, and tries to punish them strictly for the survival of the race.
“The enemy… … You can see it that way.”
Elena clenched her chin in annoyance.
“There must be a reason why we have to wage a racial war. That’s what’s important.”
He continued speaking like that with a more blunt face.
“In the end, we fight because we have to fight. There’s something tangled up there, and you’re sleeping. It doesn’t matter. A war between humans and demons is about to happen. It was decided that way from the beginning, so they bleed and fight endlessly. Continue until one of them is destroyed.”
“… … ”
“I didn’t mean to tell you this far… … this would be fine It’s not something you can understand all now.”
Elena was muttering to herself.
He glanced at me and then said:
“I said earlier that there are exceptions to heaven. that’s the devil A being who is directly opposed to heavenly principles. Those who are like a hump that the sky can no longer handle, we who have been chosen by the sky must take the lead and deal with them. Even if you don’t like it, you can’t help it. Because that is fate.”
“anyway. Then why are demons called exceptions? It must have been the sky that created this damn world, so why does the sky not deal with it directly, but entrust it to the things below it?”
“But it is. The sky outside the border is just black. There is an inherently unpleasant difference from Inse’s sky. It is always dark, and the moon, not the sun, is above it. Just as the sky exists for us, the sky also exists for demons. They have their own sky.”
“That’s it—the inverse heavenly one in the beginning. He is now called the Demon God.”
A pretty unusual word came out.
drank.
Judging from the name, it seemed to be a concept like a god of demons.
Well, I had learned about the history of demons in class, but I had never even heard of demons. Elena seemed to be saying something very secretive to me right now.
“Simply put, he is the first big bastard who betrayed the sky. The demons that now exist outside the boundaries were born by demons. Demon gods are trying to defy the heavenly world together with the demon that was born that way.”
Elena exhaled a cigarette smoke once.
“… Although the war ended with the victory of mankind, the demon was not yet dead. The war between humans and demons never ends until the demon dies. Even if it seems that the war has ended, in the end, the same history will repeat itself again and again. No one knows when that will be, but it will come soon. certainly. Otherwise, there is no way to give the fate of the reverse heaven anew.”
“… … ”
As he finished speaking, he looked at me.
“Do you not understand?”
“… … Yes, a little.”
“I just said no. Because I can’t give you a detailed explanation of terms right now. What’s more, nothing that can be said just like this will make sense.”
Elena shrugged as if she understood.
“Just, that’s it. Enjoy it while you can.”
“… … ”
“Because human time is finite. I can’t turn back the time that has already passed. So if you want to regret something before you do it, don’t do it. You are always given only one chance to make an important choice, and you are solely responsible for the consequences of that choice.”
He tilted his head to the side and clenched his chin.
“If you really want to get your memories back, I will do my best to cooperate. But I don’t know for sure if this will happen or not. And I will probably regret it 100% if I help you, small or large. I don’t see it as a good choice.”
“… … ”
“I mean, think about it. Do you have more to gain or more to lose by regaining your memories?”
Then, I bend the back of the chair back. I can’t even count the number of cigarettes refilled in the middle of Elena’s conversation. Place your legs flat on the table. A new smoke rises from the already thick gray smoke.
This is also optional. As Elena said, I still don’t know what will happen if I get my memories back. Is there more harm than good? Is there more gain than loss? You don’t know anything until you experience it yourself.
However, Mu trembled. He sat down in front of me and cried. From the hoarse and hoarse voice, the voice of sorry rang constantly. He said he wouldn’t be able to tell me what the hell happened between you and me.
I saw Mew, which was seriously damaged beyond words. It was a terrible, terrifying feeling.
I didn’t know what to say. If you don’t say it, you don’t know, but you say you can’t say it. So, there was only one thing I had to do.
don’t know anything not sure.
but-
I know only one thing.
that it shouldn’t be like this.
I resolutely raised my head.
