123. I liked it a lot.
“By the way, I’ve heard strange rumors about you and Seria, haven’t you?”
“Of course not, sister.”
While I was being examined by Adrina, I responded like a knife to Dyna’s sister’s question, who suddenly stabbed me in.
It wasn’t because he was conscious of Eris’s eyebrows twitching slightly.
“It can be said that Yonginization itself has stopped at this point. I’m glad it didn’t get worse.”
Adriana, who was holding her pulse, got up with a smile. It is said that it is a witch’s unique way to check if there is an abnormality in the body by pouring mana through the blood vessels, but Rin seemed to be quite interested.
Even if the atmosphere is a little strange now, later, after everything is over, he said he wanted to be a doctor quietly in the village.
“But how did you handle the wings and tail so well? I heard that our side has no wings, only a tail, but suffers because the proportions are out of proportion.”
Among the dwarves, only seven of the best blacksmiths, Meister Hashim Bellok, muttered while fiddling with his gray beard.
“It must be because the ratio of you dwarves is not very good. It didn’t seem like there was a big problem on our side right away.”
Two people who had a battle of pride over strange things. At the moment, it seemed that the hot spirit was being pushed, but rather, he refuted with a smile of repentance.
“I heard the other day that you don’t have wings, but you got a tail? I heard that the cat is Su-in, but then that friend has two tails?”
“……”
“I have heard of it somewhere. There’s a cat ghost with two tails or a witch! So, hasn’t that friend evolved into a legendary being?”
“You talk very carelessly, shorty.”
“I blow my hair in front of patients. How can a beast be sick with a man?”
Watching them start bickering with each other in the hospital room, I unknowingly frowned.
“How is it originally?”
“I don’t miss a single day. It’s a daily routine now. The other day, the two of them were away for a while, and they both got bored.”
There was a reason you didn’t bother. When Eris, who has already gotten used to it, lightly warns them to go outside and fight, the two of them quickly run away.
You’re definitely holding the discipline.
I was renting the infirmary for a quick diagnosis, so I brought a round chair with wheels and pushed it to Eris.
Adrina sat cross-legged on the bed where her sister was lying, and I, too, sat cross-legged on the opposite side of the bed. I didn’t think that these four people would have come all the way to the Aeos Academy to see Dyna noona.
Having read my thoughts, Eris coughed and began to confide in what she had learned.
“First, we headed to the Dragon’s Border to interrogate the Heretic Judge Keyalmirek.”
Keyal Mirek.
Yongin, who kidnapped Yongin with a fighting dog’s knapu and sold them to a fighting dog.
He was a criminal who took advantage of the fact that if he passed from the border of the dragon to the land of a human, all jurisdiction over the Yongin would be transferred to the human.
“It seems that the fighting dogs themselves collapsed in an instant, so the strongholds that Keyalmirek mentioned remained unorganized.”
Adrina bowed her head as if she was apologetic, looking at me who had made a sweeping effort, but Eris smiled proudly.
“Like a point organization, if you go to one, you will find another node connected to it. Along the way, we recently ran into Horan.”
“A survivor of the fighting dog that ran away?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I clearly remember that the leader of the fighting dog took the time to save her. I ended up missing out on her as a tiger beast.
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it. She already knew we were coming and was running away.”
“Are you still working on changes related to the human body?”
Eris shook her head at Dina’s older sister’s question.
“No, it didn’t seem like it. Rather, there were traces of trying to destroy all bases.”
I won’t tell you the secret of dog fighting, is this it?
Here Adriana intervened, arms folded.
“But through the hair Horan left behind and the remaining records, we found out the biggest stronghold of dog fighting. But that place… is near the Beast King’s territory.”
Beast King Raizer.
The king of beastmen served by Jaguar Baekflin, who is currently fighting fiercely with the dwarves.
In the case of beastmen, the repulsion towards outsiders invading their territory was much stronger than other races.
Of course, judging from my experience so far, there was no feeling that other races were too generous.
There was an experience where I almost got hit by an arrow as soon as I entered the forest of the elves, and the moment I crossed the border of the dragon, I was deprived of my human rights.
However, in the case of Suin, they react a little differently.
As soon as an unauthorized outsider enters their domain, they immediately sever the outsider’s limbs and go one step further.
For example, if a human is captured by them, they will start to invade nearby human villages.
If you get hit by one, pay back ten.
It was a kind of instinct that was etched into the bodies of beasts, and it was the reason that other races could not enter the land of beasts recklessly.
“But this time, we have Jaguar Backflynn.”
If he was the leader of the Byeoldong battalion under the king’s subordinate, it wouldn’t be a big deal to enter the land of the beasts, right?
I thought it was a very obvious question, but Adrina glanced at Eris with a smirk, and Eris placed her hand on her thigh and looked down at me with her head bowed and only her eyes moved.
“Well? Did I say something strange?”
“Hey, little brother. If you don’t have a clue, you’re not like this.”
She listens to her sister with a genuinely dismayed expression on her face.
“The land of the beasts is quite far away. So, I came here to see you.”
“a.”
I hoped
Even so, Eris, who is still the watchman of Yggdrasil, forced a party with witches, dwarves and beasts to come to see me?
However, Eris’ face was as red as a bright red apple waiting to be harvested.
“uh?”
When I saw her expression, I was puzzled, but there was also a subtle joy. Because he knew that even a brief silence would be embarrassing for Eris.
“Come on, I’ll go out for a while. I have something to talk to you about Eris.”
Even though my sister and Adriana were watching, I immediately grabbed Eris’ hand and took her out of the nursery.
“Kiya, you are young!”
My sister’s manly voice rang in my ears.
*
The dwarves and beastmen, who had been pointing at each other until just now, whistled and suddenly united, ignoring the cheering for us and walking down the hallway.
I tried to go out to town and ask for something delicious to eat, but Eris politely declined and said that she would rather visit the academy I attend.
Anyway, since today was the weekend, it was empty unless there were other students involved in club activities, so I introduced Eris to my 3rd year E class first without any major problems.
“Where is Daniel’s seat?”
“There is no designated place, but I always sit here with the kids.”
When I said, sweeping the corner of the back seat where I usually sit, she sat right in my seat and quietly scanned the classroom.
“This is what Daniel usually sees.”
“Isn’t it all right?”
“It is peaceful and nice. Are other friends sitting next to you? Could you introduce me?”
“……I should have seen it before. When the opportunity arises, I will formally introduce you.”
Tana may not know, but Eve seems to burn with a strange sense of competition for some reason. The recent Eve doesn’t mind the oncoming fight.
I was about to tell him to go to another place, but Eris was smiling brightly in the sunlight coming through the window.
Without realizing it, I wanted to see more of that scene, so I didn’t say anything to her and just stood there blankly.
“Hey there, Daniel.”
Eris lifted her lips slowly and very carefully. She continued, with her eyes still on the blackboard hanging across the classroom wall.
“Do you remember the day you confessed to me when you came to Yggdrasil?”
“Yes? All, of course I remember.”
I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment because I didn’t know what to say about it all of a sudden, but Eris was still smiling at what she liked.
I wondered if she would accept a confession that had been put off for a while, but she brought up the story after that as the subject.
“And you talked to a kid named Rin at the lake early that morning. Actually, I heard then, that Daniel saw about the future.”
“……!”
did you hear that?
At the time, I was too distracted by Rin, so I think I missed his presence. In particular, elves have a high assimilation rate with the forest, so it is difficult to find them.
As if to say that she would not miss my shaking eyes, Eris naturally turned her gaze from the blackboard to me.
“So naturally, I started to understand. The fact that Daniel had a crush on me even when he was seeing him for the first time, and that he knew my taste in food well. Of course, what kind of future did you see?”
“……”
Eris smiled.
she is anxious now I didn’t know what to worry about, as a foolish Sherpa, but she was considerate of me and told me directly.
“Isn’t Daniel liking me, not the ‘future’ me?”
“……”
wow i couldn’t answer
Because that question penetrated my heart so much, it hurt, and it pierced me to the core.
“Looking at Daniel, I thought. There are so many beautiful girls who like you, so why do you like me? In fact, we weren’t even that close.”
Eris’ hand slowly and gently moved her hand across the desk she was sitting on. As if her hand was clearing away dust that wasn’t even there.
It seemed like he was getting rid of those memories that he didn’t have.
“Daniel, I don’t know how the future played out, but I’m not the Eris you remember.”
That’s right.
who whispered love to me
He struggled to live with me until the end of the end.
In the end, even the moment my heart was pierced by a spear, it was for me.
Eris Annen Seriere was nothing more than a vain hope, a greed, a dead man, and a dream that remained in my memory.
“So I think we need to organize our relationship. Now that I’m leaving for the land of beastmen, I think we’ll have enough time to think about each other.”
“……”
Seeing me unable to say anything, Eris quietly held my hand.
“This is not Daniel’s fault. It is natural to see the future me and the present me as the same. But you can’t decide the present because of future results. It is no different from the superstists who are dragged along by fate.”
He was harshly reprimanding me, but the hand holding me was so gentle.
“Please don’t make me a pity woman. Please do not make me crave false affection by identifying with the girl of your memories.”
Eventually I had to admit it.
“okay. Let’s give it a little time.”
“thanks.”
Eris slowly let go of my hand and asked in an uncharacteristically playful tone to lighten the mood.
“By the way, what was your relationship with me in that future?”
Because I understood that I had no choice but to be concerned.
This time, I held her hand and made eye contact.
“I liked it a lot.”
