152 – My name is Ha Tae-ho. And I… #3
152 – My name is Taeho Ha. And I… #3
Actually, I have a lot of questions.
But some just ended up being curious.
Because it was the kind of question no one could answer.
If I ask, “What was there before the Big Bang? And before that? If you constantly ask questions with the feeling of “And before that?”, the day will come when you give up saying “I don’t know.”
No matter how much I thought about it, it was meaningless to hold in my head all day that the answer would not come out.
The clock honestly ticks by one second, and I’ll get hungry eventually, so I had to work. In the face of the problem of survival, questions such as “Who am I?” tend to lose their light.
but.
Even so, I had a question that would never fade, like a dagger in my heart.
It was the question, “Why am I in this world?”
I just went to the convenience store to buy ice cream.
Because ice cream is delicious.
It was a kind of cone decorated with chocolate on top.
But when I came to my senses, I found myself on the continent of Pangea.
After that, I always pondered and asked questions.
why?
What was the problem?
Was the ice cream a problem?
Would I have been able to avoid this pain if I had bought a bar of ice cream instead of a cone ice cream, no, 31 flavors of ice cream?
why?
Of course, no one gave me the answer, and I just buried it in my heart.
But now, the person in front of me is talking.
『Yes, stolen one. I stole you from a distant land.”
Nocturne said he stole me.
Whatever ice cream I picked, I was going to be stolen by this guy.
“Why me?”
『It was because you fit my vessel. In order to steal you, I seduced and deceived the woman of this land and made her open the door to the other world.”
“… Could that be El Cladeco?”
“Yes.”
“Is El Cladeco’s husband also you?”
“He was also one of the vessels I stole. But nobody mattered. It was a predetermined result that you came to this land and became my vessel and me.”
“… … .”
『You were destined to become my vessel from the beginning. I am the result The result of me is nothing more than a process that is you and brought to your place.”
It was a difficult word.
To be honest, I couldn’t understand it because I didn’t know anything about magic.
Then he put on a very sad expression.
His expression was so benevolent that I almost got down on my knees and prayed to him with my hands together.
the guy said
“So please let me go. You must be thinking of capturing me and sealing me in your mental world. Yes, in conclusion, you will succeed. Your spirit is strong.”
“Then be quiet.”
『But even if you seal me, you will die after 25 years. I will appear again 100 years from now, and then you will not be there.”
It was a terrible story.
I’m dying in 25 years.
Can this be a spoiler?
It was clear that he probably wouldn’t die well.
It would be to live together as one body for 25 years with this terrible nightmare incarnation. I would have to live 25 years of life worse than dying.
But what do you mean?
Better than dying for real.
And it was better than losing everything.
To be honest… .
I was hesitating.
It was a very fatal temptation, and it was good to see it as a fight with myself.
“I have a lot of time. Twenty-five years, 100 years, a time less than one speck of mountain. Please don’t wait.”
Saying that, he sat cross-legged in the air.
The way he sealed it with his hands looked like a Buddha, and I was very surprised that there could be a Buddha that was so blasphemous and yet exuded a mystical energy at the same time.
But I couldn’t help but feel relieved.
It was because my ‘flesh’ side, which had almost taken the initiative away from him, was exploding with strong power.
In my opinion, my body was on the verge of breaking through the huge anvil, and I had limited ways to stop it.
I have no choice but to fight the nightmare in front of me and turn my mind back to myself.
If even a single moment of attack succeeds, my body will stop, and in the meantime, the heroes of the world, including Brigitte, will project all kinds of firepower—I’ll die!
If I die, my daughters won’t be born!
Fuck you.
This was the problem.
It seemed like a beggar that the problem didn’t end with killing me.
“As expected, the only way is for me to kill you.”
All I had to do was kill Nocturne.
With that, everything was resolved.
Sounds too simple?
The truth is originally like that.
It’s called the truth because it’s so simple that even a fool can understand it.
I got into my stance again.

Just before, dozens or hundreds of attacks had been thrown at him, and I also avoided a similar number of attacks, but the results were equal.
The guy was just like me.
“mind… . What matters is the heart… .”
But now I was thinking of taking advantage of the “restriction” of my mind. To be precise, I was thinking of using my passive skill.
The poorer I am, the stronger I am, and the richer I am, the weaker I am.
“It’s just lightening the load. Let’s not regret it.”
I made a promise by saying it as if I was brainwashing myself.
And decided.
“It erases memories of my college days.”
I decided to erase the memory of my college days from the storage of memories.
I went to college—it was a valuable experience, so I openly said, “I am a university graduate,” on the continent of Pangea, but I couldn’t help it.
Because I was a person who became stronger as I got poorer.
Sarrr-.
The buildings of the university floating in the air and their ties were scattered like powder. In a row with that, the memory of going to high school from elementary school days disappeared all at once.
Then, to my surprise, I started not remembering that I had gone to school—in my head. There were no memories related to it, no people involved, not even the face.
However, my arms and legs grew stronger than I’ve ever felt before.
I used that power to kick the air.
Kwaaang-. I heard a loud roar, like trucks running at 240 km/h collided with each other with a kickback in the air.
『Did you start to enter the state of nothingness for transcendence? Arthur. If you let go of yourself like that, in the end you won’t be left. Then, even if you win against me, you will no longer be Judas—”
Breaking love liquid-!
My palm went for the scruff of Nocturne’s neck, so he couldn’t speak and leaped backwards to increase the distance.
I still didn’t have enough strength to catch him.
Many things floating in the air turned to dust and scattered.
My blood seemed to boil again, and I drew a bow knife from my waistband and charged at Nocturne. Nocturne always had a relaxed expression, but he was serious the moment he saw my butterfly knife.
『I can’t get your soul alone this time either.』
Sak-sak-!
My butterfly knife flew through the air like a butterfly, aiming at Nocturne’s neck and heart.
Of course, he evaded my attack and even laughed leisurely.
“What memories are you going to throw away now?”
“… … .”
I didn’t say
However, I saw the family photos floating in the space being erased. It was a memory of my 21st century family.
My family, connected by blood.
It was my precious memory, but I was destined to never meet them anyway, and I forgot the existence of a family called my mother and father who gave birth to me in my memory.
By the way, my sister too.
“How does it feel to be an orphan?”
Nocturne asked.
I contemplated on myself what I could do without attacking him this time. Now my strength was strong.
But to be honest, it wasn’t enough to beat the guy in front of me.
The stronger my power is, the more sensitive I am to understanding him.
It was like a planet that had lived a long life.
It was a living planet and at the same time possessed malevolence.
I’m dealing with the planet now.
aaah-!
Then my body shook.
It was a shock from outside.
When I came to my senses, I felt that something was changing rapidly through my body. Someone entered the huge barrier created by Morumoru.
They all looked very similar to someone I knew, and to my surprise, all but one of them were SSR princesses.
“Cecily? Hina?”
Hina and Cecily had grown up to be the SSR princesses I had hoped for.
What happened?
Did you evolve Gigantamax while you couldn’t see it?
But Naru… .
why is naru a kid
Why is there no SSR Naru?
* * *
The big Cecily and the big Hina waited for the big naru.
They each promised to deal with their past and meet again in front of this great anvil.
By the way.
After waiting for a long time, what appeared was not a large wharf, but a small wharf.
“Oh, shit.”
25-year-old Cecily scolded, frowning. Her swearing was so vulgar that it didn’t go well with her noble face, and it made the listeners frown.
Would mercenaries who live day by day swear at me like this?
Of course, even so, SSR Princess Cecily’s character was flawless.
It was because Cecily had trained herself to the extent that a single swear word would not blemish her.
Cecily asked the little naru.
“Hey! Naru, why are you here!? Naru is not coming!”
At that question, Naru raised her hand.
“Naru is Naru!”
“… no… .”
The big Cecily recalled the long past.
There was a corner where the old naru couldn’t communicate like this.
The reason was simple.
Naru had a serious illness while in Brigitte’s stomach, so there was speculation that something might have gone wrong at that time.
It got better as I got older, but 6-year-old Naru… It was.
‘Naru, you girl. I wish I had gotten older and calmed down a bit. At such an important moment, what the hell are you thinking when you don’t come and send your 6-year-old self away… !? I can’t meet my past self!’
The big Cecily was stunned.
And I looked at the big hina.
The big hina was also shocked, but I thought that the big naru had something to do with it. Although the big naru is a tomboy… , Although annoying, he was the leader of Erinies.
“… What did Naru say?”
Hina asked Naru.
Then Naru answered.
“I told you to help Daddy!”
That was it.
Hina and Cecily looked at each other’s faces, then nodded, then grabbed Naru and squeezed through Morumoru’s bountiful body to enter the barrier.
Then he saw Judas sitting cross-legged in it.
Like a Buddha statue carved out of wood, he didn’t even move.
Big Hina said.
“Cecily, as planned, we will separate each other’s minds. yet… It looks like Dad was before he was fused with Nocturne, so he should be able to take it off.”
When Naru, Cecily, and Hina turned 25 years old, magic engineering really developed remarkably.
In particular, Hina and Naru have dedicated their lives to helping their mothers separate Nocturne and Yuda, and have actually come to develop the miracle.
However, Judas and Nocturne in the future were after many things had already become one, like the shadow and the main body. Yuda lost consciousness and fell into a coma the day Naru, Hina, and Cecily turned 6 years old.
And without ever getting up, the children died on the day they turned 25.

Judas regretted it before collapsing.
– I was hesitant. I… . If I hadn’t hesitated then… .
He regretted it constantly.
I couldn’t open my eyes like that and closed them forever.
So the three sisters decided.
Let’s go back to the past, go to the days before Nocturne and Judas were fused, and separate Nocturne.
For that plan, the three sisters struggled for a long, long time.
Cecily and Hina hammered iron poles around Nocturne. It was a barrier like a constellation in the sky, and Nocturne didn’t open his eyes despite the noise.
Pajijijik!
Finally, the iron pillar released magnetic force, creating a sharp current-like wave.
The waves were so intense that even Naru’s hair stood on end, but the man who was directly hit by it didn’t even budge this time.
To Cecily and Hina, the current Nocturne looked like a chrysalis.
It seemed that he was trying to transform himself into a butterfly or something by melting his body in the chrysalis of the body.
That made the big Cecily nervous.
“Even with the modified compass, there is no response from the soul. I must have sunk into a very deep consciousness. Are we too late… ? If you want to turn back time, you’ll need to gather at least 20 years of mana… .”
“Dead body… same. I’m not even breathing It’s really like a cocoon… . I can’t even call this a human… . It’s like when I was in a coma… .”
Hina and Cecily were looking forward to some response from Judas.
But now Judas looked like an inanimate object like a stone or a rock.
… But now, in Naru’s eyes, this man was just her father.
Naru’s only father who was clumsy in this and that, but never once told me he loved me, but showed it through his actions more than anyone else.
“Dad… .”
Naru slowly approached his father and hugged him tightly.
wiggle-.
Then, Judas’ eyebrows, which had not responded, moved slightly.
As if he was trying to react to something.
Seeing this, Cecily and Hina were greatly surprised.
“… Hina… . Did we grow up wrong… ?”
“Well… , our childhood… It wasn’t very good… . Childhood experiences shape a person’s character until the moment of death. .”
Hina and Cecily seemed to understand why the big naru handed over the work to the small naru. Cecily, Hina, and Naru were too big to run to Dad and hug him.
That’s right, because I’m the same age as my dad now.
And the SSR princess was not allowed to hug or hug people recklessly.
Even if it is a family like mother or father.
The SSR princess is, so to speak, like a fairy or an angel who came down to earth. I had to keep my dignity anywhere, anytime.
It was a really strict rule.
Being an SSR princess was actually closer to strict rules and nobility than a person.
But now, Naru was just a child.
I didn’t know about SSR princesses and princess powers, and even if I did, I wouldn’t have cared.
“Dad is telling me to get up… !”
Naru cried out loud in her father’s arms, who did not move, and Cecily and Hina, who saw that scene, were unable to proceed with the work because their hands were shaking.
Ssuck, ssuck-.
At that time, someone entered Morumoru again.
The guys were little Cecily and Hina.
They were following Naru.
“my… How I grew up… !”
Cecily was taken aback.
It was because there was a picture of herself who had become a truly wonderful noblewoman. No, this was beyond nobility.
Although Cecily hadn’t yet known anything greater than nobles, she couldn’t explain the vocabulary.
A big Cecily frowned, saying, “Oh, you shouldn’t run into the past me—”. Then little Hina asked big Hina.
“Future me… . I’m winning against Naru… ?”
At that question, Hina raised two fingers.
“… I’m losing 2 games.”
“Ugh… !”
Little Hina trembled.
At that time, the big Hina laughed.
“… But now it will be different again.”
