202 – 58-2. Fate is a cruel law.
I got on the train again.
A strong wind hitting the face with a bumpy ride. Miracle sound.
The scenery seen outside changes from plane to line. I feel the speed getting faster.
‘The Temple of Pantos.’
The place where the god of emotions that summoned the magic hat rests.
In the game, it was like getting out of a maze-like place.
Did you say that you were inspired by the saying that you know ten ways under water but not one way inside people?
As soon as I possessed it, I remembered it because I wrote down the settings as much as possible in my notebook so I wouldn’t forget them.
‘…This is the best way.’
Dennis and I put our heads together and came up with a trick.
On the way back to the academy, passing through the temple of Pantos.
This has the advantage of being able to keep the students safe as well as delaying the pursuit of the school of warriors.
The train we are riding now runs on mana. All the tracks and fuel.
Because mana is what gives an attribute that ignores reality in this world.
Then I’ll be able to make a track and run the train even towards the sky.
The identity of the temple of Pantos is a floating island.
A masterpiece created in the Land of Fire, it was suspended in the air and was inaccessible by ordinary means.
“Licht. Are you really not hurt anywhere?”
“..Yes, it’s okay. Mardol.”
Fine started to worry as I was making an expression that looked worried, unlike usual. Of course, I couldn’t avoid it because I was sitting next to him.
Even after the bloody battle with the demon king was over, she carefully checked me to see if I was hurt. I check to see if the little hand is hiding the pain while groping my body.
“It’s not… I’ve had a lot of trouble….”
A warm heart hidden inside a sharp and hard-looking glass armor.
“….”
My head is pounding. Is it right for me to take Phinegrancia to Pantozu’s temple and awaken her as a warrior?
In the case of Kaynel and Ariel, they grew up by going through hardships together in the temple. Am I allowed to put this burden on her at will?
If you don’t want to be killed by Magic Hat, it’s right to fight the demon lord as a hero. But what next?
That’s how everyone lived happily ever after. Will it end with the story in the fairy tale called?
‘I have to tell the truth. Lee Soo-hyun.’
Right now, Fine Grancia and I have a 39% relationship.
A relationship that is close enough to be called a stranger, and distant to be called a lover.
There will come a moment when we have to talk about the nameless saint.
So that one day she will show her not her liar shepherd, but her wolf.
“Pine, if you are a hero chosen by God…. Are you going to follow that?”
I have to work hard too.
In a train that rattles loudly. In a place where you can only hear the breathing of students who have fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Fine asked her own doctor. A story shared in small whispers.
She secretly clasped her hands behind her and cast her soundproof spell. Then she, just like me, put her hand on her chin and began her troubles, Fine Grancia.
“Dear warrior.. What does that mean? Do you know Richt?”
“… Intimacy means to love someone intimately.”
I told her the truth in her obedience.
In the old days, I might have lied or twisted things.
Fine stares at my face, then turns her face away. Do I need time to think?
“….”
“You don’t have to get hung up on words. It’s because the gods decide anyway.”
From Noble mtl dot com
She lifted her head and looked at her magic lamp on her ceiling, then looked at me again.
I put strength on the hand grips I’m holding, so that there are no gaps, they adhere completely.
“If I catch all the Demon Kings…. Richt won’t get hurt…?”
The answer that eventually came out was a statement that worried about me, not anyone else.
Fine Grancia speaks with a long sigh.
Who cares about who? The corner of my mouth went up at the unexpected answer.
I thought you would be happy if I told you about the hero in the prophecy, or you would say ‘I can become stronger’.
Did she change just like I did?
No, rather, this might be the nature of a person called Fine.
“To be honest, I still can’t believe that I am the hero of the prophecy. I wasn’t lying….”
“Because that’s what the Demon King of the Cult of Braves said.”
She lowers her head and says. You can see the small wriggling feet.
Perhaps it was a big shock.
Her childhood was attacked by Magic Hat, the kidnapping of someone she knew like her real sister, and all of her misfortunes that had been around her until now.
It’s because they all happened because of the hero in the prophecy.
“…Licht always gets hurt. Because I am weak.”
She went on with her words, taking her rhyme carefully. The rest of her hand rests on the center of her own chest.
Like a person taking an oath in front of a courtroom.
“If only I could be by your side and be your strength.”
Finé raises her head again and speaks with a firm attitude. There was a hint of determination in her golden eyes.
“…A hero or whatever is fine.”
She straightens her shoulders and pushes her chest forward.
She thought she would help her fate. If she did something wrong, she would even become a nameless saint. The decision that Fine said was quite bold.
“I will be by your side and be your strength. Blood.”
“…I’m already doing that. Licht.”
I gave an answer that matched her determination, and she patted her shoulder and leaned her head.
Immediately, Phine started to hiccup as her body twitched.
I think it’s still a long way from being by my side.
***
You can hear the sound of small breathing next to you.
The smell of someone who has smelled it enough to remember who it is now.
Black hair like the night sky and long eyelashes that you can see if you look sideways for a moment.
‘Rich.. Now..?’
Fine Grancia was contemplating the face of her black knight who was now sleeping on her shoulder.
Maybe thanks to the potion he drank inside the cave, despite the fact that he wasn’t seriously injured on the outside.
Her good eyes knew that Licht had suffered in subspace.
Unlike usual, his face looked troubled. If you look at the cold sweat on your neck, it means that something happened.
“..Dog.”
Fine laughed for some reason as she watched Licht with her eyes closed. You look so cute when you sleep
How can it be like a wild beast when you see them stand up and fight against their enemies?
She thought that going from puppy to wolf was just like his spirit.
She slowly brushes the man’s hair to the side of her. Gnarled burn marks ran down her fingers, but it didn’t matter.
A black knight who takes the demon kings of the cult of dragons one after another.
A warrior of conviction who fights for others, not for himself.
How great it would be if he could become something similar to him.
This time, too, Richt disappeared into the darkness and went to fight the Demon King. He was fortunate to defeat Infinity with Kynell, but what if he never returned?
If the last moment you remember Licht was that she couldn’t go to help because she was weak.
“….”
Just thinking about it made Fine’s heart heavy like lead. The man who sleeps on his shoulder doesn’t seem to care about other people.
He won’t be able to say sorry when he realizes how worried and cried the remaining Finne and Ariel were when he and Kynell disappeared.
“I hate you.”
Pouting out her mouth, she tapped Licht’s nose. Then, the man’s expression frowned as if he knew that his sleep was being disturbed.
It was Fine’s own expression of opinion. Because if there is something wrong, it is right to scold for sure.
If he had been up, I would have pinched his nose.
‘The mighty demon king saw me and called me a loving hero….’
She was lost in her thoughts, feeling the heavy weight on her shoulders. She only knew that the hero in the prophecy was Licht.
That’s true, there are only two Demon Kings of the Brave Cult that have been captured so far.
The omnipotent demon king created by the fall of the hero chosen by the god of intelligence.
Because the hero chosen by the god of will was the black knight who defeated the demon lord of power created by corruption.
He’s not good at lying, sometimes shows a smirk, and in fact he’s weaker than anyone else.
His flaw was that he was not too ignorant, but even that shortcoming was already getting better.
‘…Now you seem to have become more than just a precious person to me. Suhyeon.’
The position of men in Fine Grancia has grown.
Jump into a running carriage to save a child, or risk your life to rescue yourself from falling into a ravine.
What to do with this fool who cares for others rather than himself?
Now, I wanted to be the giver rather than the helper. The sunlight was shining through the window and into his face.
She drew the curtains on her to keep him from waking up.
He looks like a puppy even when he sleeps. He even mumbles if he dreams of eating something. I wish I could see this sometime.
“It disappears somewhere, but please don’t.”
My anxiety continued to grow. Like a train running through the air to head to the temple of Pantos, Fine’s heart was moving.
I didn’t want to be taken away by others.
She keeps feeling a sense of rivalry with the nameless saint.
She was afraid that she might have learned a side of Licht that she didn’t know and made various memories together.
I put up a glass wall around it so that no one could see it, and opened the helmet’s faceplate.
A distance close enough to breathe. Because of the man’s lips, which looked more shiny than usual.
Fine briefly touched Lee Soo-hyun’s forehead with her lips, then dropped them.
‘..I committed it.’
It was an impulsive act to leave a mark as a wolf.
It feels like I secretly took out the strawberries from the strawberry cake.
It was ambiguous even to call it a kiss.
A soft, tickling feeling rose from the tips of her lips.
She put her hand on the center of her chest to calm her rapidly beating heart and took a deep breath.
This is what Licht is bad for.
So I wish she would have kissed me earlier when she asked me to kiss her.
It is to blame for the person who dares to sleep on her shoulder.
The train was heading towards the temple of Pantozu, enumerating excuses that didn’t work.
