The interrogation was very quick and simple. While Tyr pretended not to notice, Shay, who was pulling a desk and chair, sat across from him, clasped her hands and clasped her chin.
“ruler. first. I haven’t been able to ask because I haven’t had a chance until now.”
Confronted with Shay’s sharp gaze, he looked at Tyr anxiously, but Tyr kept his mouth shut and lowered his parasol to cover his gaze.
Shay, who had become solitary, asked, staring at him.
“What is your name?”
Pressured by Shay’s overbearing momentum, he looked around and answered with difficulty.
“Tir.”
“yes? did you call me?”
Tyr raised his parasol slightly. Shay waved her hand.
“no. You must have misunderstood my question.”
Shay looked at him once more and asked more bluntly.
“No, it’s your name.”
“Tir… .”
Even if it’s a mistake once, it’s inevitable the second time. After introducing his name as Tyr twice in a row, Tyr approached me with a puzzled look.
“Do you have the same name as me? Tyr? What a great coincidence.”
“I don’t think so. I guess I just heard the name Tyr and got confused. for a moment.”
Shai grabbed the cherry blossom, held it upright, and turned it sideways forward.
Thousand Swords, Heavenly Sights.
A mirage is the shadow of the earth reflected in the sky. The unequal air spread far enough away causes the light to bend back and forth.
Cheon-ae, the compressed space itself, refracted the light to illuminate his face as it is. Shay said, pointing to him in the mirror.
“ruler. look! Not Tyr, this guy! You are the reflection in the mirror!”
“me… . My Name.”
For a moment he opened his eyes. It was the first drastic change in his face. He took a deep breath, covering his face in pain with his hands.
Shay watched him silently without urging. Tyr, who had not seen it, came out.
“Let’s do it this far. I guess I was just thinking too much ahead of time. If you have any questions, let’s take it easy and figure it out slowly.”
But Shay shook his head resolutely.
“wait. You will definitely remember it. No matter how much I lose my self, I do not easily forget old and frequently used information like my name. If you forget even the name with which we have been together for the rest of our lives, we will also forget the language.”
“However… .”
“And you need to ask for your name to find other memories. Because the name is the most important element that constitutes the self.”
Knowledge builds confidence, and certainty builds confidence.
Shay’s words were surprisingly coherent and confident, so Tyr left without saying anything. Instead, wishing for his well-being, he held his hands tightly together and only worried.
After quite a while, the groan that seemed to cut off continued, and when Tyr’s heart burned black like a fuse.
Breaking the long silence, he spit out a word with difficulty.
“… phew.”
The two were confused whether the words came out of their thoughts or just a moan. After that, after realizing that the moaning had stopped, Tyr asked.
“Huh, did you say?”
He nodded. Shay, who later realized that it was a name, was puzzled.
“phew? Is that your name?”
Another nod followed. Shay looked at his face for a moment, pondering.
‘Don’t you have a surname? Oh, I said orphan. Still, if you are a high-ranking military officer, you tend to create a surname… . After the kingdom disappeared, surnames lost much meaning. Is it because he doesn’t have any attachment to the name he made up?’
After a moment of silence as Shay pondered, Tyr approached cautiously and called out his name.
“phew?”
When his name was called, he turned to face the sound. He responded to his name.
Tyr responded with a warm smile.
“Hey, that’s your name. found out too late If I had known earlier, I would have called more often.”
Compared to Tyr, who accepted without a single doubt, Sei still had no doubts.
‘Looking at how he reacts, I think his name is right. Isn’t that a pseudonym? no. There is no end to thinking like this.’
Shay frowned and recalled the name for a while. To find even a similar name in the memory of regression.
“phew. phew. Huh… .”
“Do you know the name?”
“Wait a minute. Humanist, heuristic, huh… . no way.”
“no way?”
Shay pondered for a while, then shook her head.
“Listen for the first time. I haven’t been able to find any similar names.”
Tyr answered in a hoarse voice.
“Then why are you so procrastinating? If you don’t know, say you don’t know from the beginning.”
“It’s more award-winning. A name I don’t know? If he was a very important person, especially if you were a military instructor, you would know almost everything… .”
From Shay’s point of view, it was a reasonable statement.
Having already gone through 13 regressions, half of which had conflicts with the military, she remembered most of the famous military personnel. If it was an instructor with such great abilities, there was no way he could not remember it here.
‘If only he hadn’t died in the abyss… .’
However, after hearing Shay’s self-talk, Tyr noticed for a moment. This is because, through Golem’s remarks, he learned that he was not an instructor.
Tyr herself didn’t care, but she wasn’t sure if it was okay to tell Shay, so she forced herself to change the topic.
“How wide the world is. A lot of people you don’t know Now, more than that.”
Tyr withdrew his parasol and approached with strides.
“phew.”
He turned and looked at Tyr. Tyr rejoiced and called the name again.
“phew.”
“yes.”
“phew.”
Just the name twice with no purpose. Once with a slightly higher note and once with a slightly lower pitch.
When I called out his name as if he were singing a song, he tilted his head and called out the name of the person who sang it.
“… Tyr.”
“Fufu. This is your name, Phew.”
Tyr was content with just knowing his name, so he was busy calling out his name. If I left it alone, it seemed like I would spend all my time calling out my name all day today.
However, he could not wait until Tyr, who did not know boredom, enjoyed it all. Shay stopped Tyr from calling her name again and asked.
“Yeah, huh? I don’t know if it’s real, but I know what to call it. Then what is your rank?”
The question made Tyr wipe a smile from his lips and look away. He made an unfamiliar expression on Shay’s question.
“total… class?”
“If you were a real instructor, there would be no rank.”
“uh… .”
When he hesitated without answering, Tyr hurriedly intervened and surrounded him.
“It’s a class. Do little things like that matter? It just confuses me and doesn’t matter.”
“However, there is nothing more important than rank to know your position in the military.”
“Isn’t class supposed to change? Those unstable memories may have been forgotten. Other than that, let’s move on to something else. phew?”
Tyr, who quickly passed the question, called Shay before he asked again. However, as he hadn’t thought about what kind of question to ask in advance, he immediately spit out the question that came to mind.
“Do you have any favorite food?”
The world is relative, which could be a big deal for some, but at least that wasn’t Shay’s concern. Shay complained.
“What question is that? They said that the rank is not important, but it is a more useless question.”
“Aren’t you the only one asking the question?”
“No, I didn’t ask for anything other than my name… .”
“It’s noisy. Are you going to bet on your master’s work one by one?”
“Only in such a case is the Master… .”
After forcing Shay to shut his mouth, Tyr quietly waited for his reply. He thought hard and spit out a word.
“bean.”
“bean?”
Speaking of beans, they were canned foods that were in abundance in the restaurant. Tyr was delighted. At least he could give him a lot of his favorite food.
Then a question arose from the wrong place.
“No matter how you think about it, it’s strange!”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, I like beans! That doesn’t make sense!”
“It’s strange. Why does liking beans matter?”
The beans that Tyr knew were very useful grains.
But Shay said as if it was common sense that everyone in the world hated beans.
“The raw material for canned soybeans in the military is one of the seven inventions of the military government, the fertilizer for planting ‘chimera beans’. It is planted in fallow land, but once planted, the land becomes fertile and there is a good harvest until the next year.”
“It’s a prosperous year. So, isn’t that a great thing?”
“right. Good as a fertilizer, but the beans, no. Not for food.”
Shay exclaimed as if he was getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
“Maybe fertilizer is a better food. If you plant chimera beans, large beans will grow in the field, but the taste is not as bad as the bigger ones. It has a texture similar to mud, has a fishy, poisonous smell, and sticks to the tongue so much that you can’t even swallow it without water. There is even a saying that even a cow that has starved for three days is filtered out!”
It is said that a cow that has starved for three days is filtered, so there were piles of canned food in the restaurant.
Tyr tilted his head.
“In comparison, everyone seems to eat beans in cans often.”
“Yeah, that huge amount of Chimera Beans is collected and distributed by the military! At least it’s canned so it tastes a hundred times better. Otherwise, the military has already been turned over several times. It’s a great invention, but it’s torture in terms of food!”
“… So you’re the only one who hasn’t eaten canned beans until now?”
“uh? I did.”
Tyr sighed deeply and scolded Shay.
“I didn’t know either, so I don’t mean to say… Hearing the story, I think it’s too much. Shay, didn’t you share something to eat?”
“what?”
In other words, while others were eating beans, it was questioned whether he was the only one who ate delicious food.
Shay rolled her eyes, waving her hand and making excuses.
“no. I told Aji over and over that we should eat together! It’s just that my items are foods that use strong spices or salt, so it just didn’t work for Aji!”
“Then you would never have offered Hugh.”
“uh? yes… .”
Shay nodded passively. Tyr’s gaze became even colder. Shay flinched a bit, then curled up.
Tyr let out a small sigh, put down the parasol he was wearing, and stood in front of it.
“Let’s stop. To dig an answer out of someone who is sick at heart. It wasn’t supposed to be like this in the first place.”
“uh? I haven’t finished asking about his abilities yet… .”
“Did you forget the contents of the note? Didn’t he emphasize not to touch him even if his condition became strange? Normally, I was too lazy to share food, but with what qualifications would I expect an answer?”
“I did, but I don’t have to follow it… .”
“Isn’t it a matter of trust? How would you look at him if he didn’t even follow the note he gave you? Are you going to face him with a mask in the future?”
Tyr’s words were theories. So perfect that I don’t even need to point out.
However, Shay also had something to say. Shay rarely raised his voice towards Tyr.
“That guy is wearing a mask!”
Shay exclaimed with scorching eyes while he was suddenly pointed out and his eyes twitched.
“Did he ever tell us something really open about it? I didn’t even know his name until he spoke today! Be honest. As you said, if we want to see each other’s faces without wearing masks! Shouldn’t I have told you that from the beginning?”
“Shay.”
“And now he is hiding something! I think it will make you feel a little more comfortable if you solve it! If you are curious, they will kick you out, if you ask, they will tell you it is a secret, or if you try to dig into it, you will lose your memory. I can’t help but doubt it!”
Shay didn’t want to suspect him either.
We quarreled a few times, were teased, and even fought together.
Also, I don’t want to admit it, but I’ve heard quite a bit.
But to those who have seen the future, to those who have seen beyond the veil… , the present is an explosive depot full of fuses that never know when it will explode.
The man by the name of him is a military instructor, so Shay had to always be on the lookout for him. Maybe he was the one who corrupted all these apocalyptic fragments.
“If you don’t want to be suspicious, let’s be honest from the beginning! After all the suspicious things he did… ! I want to believe it too!”
“If you want to believe, rather than asking questions like this, shouldn’t you take it step by step and gain your trust?”
“It makes no sense! anyway… !”
‘I’ll be back.’
Shay swallowed the back words.
Tyr looked at Shay again. Although there is not much difference in appearance from Tyr… . The body is very young.
Although I thought of being young a few times, Shay was both objectively and subjectively young.
Tyr, who had calmed his mind, glared at Shay with a calmer attitude.
“There must be at least one thing that is difficult to say to each other. Judging from what was written on the note, he did not want to be identified. Would you mind waiting for a moment?”
“… huh. done. Whatever I’ve found out now, there’s no credibility. Doesn’t he call his name Tyr, or his favorite food is beans?”
Shay turned around.
“I’ll just go. Take care of the rest.”
Shay’s body disappears into that room. The door slammed shut with a loud thump. The tightly closed door showed no sign of opening.
The only thing they found out was the name ‘Hugh’. Even the fact that he likes beans at the same time.
Tyr was satisfied enough with that, but… . The still unanswered question did not leave the corner of my mind.
“phew. Why did you lie like that in the first place?”
Tyr asked ‘Hugh’ so.
Of course, he didn’t answer.
so his name Phew or Hugh?
*Hughes
