245 – 71-2. She hates lies.
***
There is something different about people when they lie.
Accelerating breathing.
Eyes that cannot meet.
Like a changing tone of voice, there are bound to be very subtle differences.
“Don’t lie. Licht.”
Fine Grancia was widening her eyes at her man standing in front of her own eyes.
To find evidence that she lied somehow.
She didn’t want to admit she wasn’t wrong.
“… Phineas, I’m not lying.”
“No. No. No.”
He was in denial of her reality, even pulling out her own hair.
Her own eyes are damned.
She has a pupil that can tell if someone is lying or not.
Her eyes, which had tormented her since childhood, made her Phinegrancia face her reality again.
‘The White Truth.’
She herself knew better than anyone else that what Lee Suhyun was saying was not a lie.
“Pine, even if you hold on to me, the person who left will not come back.”
A man who speaks with calm breathing.
Lee Soo-hyeon spoke calmly as she looked at Fine, who had turned her black hair.
Her eyes are looking straight at only herself.
“Licht. Why are you talking harshly..?”
It’s definitely the face of the man he remembers.
The figure I always longed for even in my dreams.
When I stretched out my hand, it disappeared like a mirage, and there was a black knight in front of me who never returned.
But why are you talking harshly?
Why are you trying to push yourself away?
If that’s the case, why are you looking so sad?
“… ….”
“… It’s unfortunate, but I have to admit it.”
While wiping away her bloody tears, Lee Soo-hyun tried to calm her down, but she had become a demon.
‘..Even this part is the same.’
On the contrary, that kindness became the cause of her obsession.
Fine Grancia staring at his face.
My hands are cold.
The burn scars I want to treat are the same.
It looks black, but if you look closely, its pretty eyes with a slight brown tint.
For fear of hurting her, even deliberately speaking coldly is the same.
“… Ah!”
With a light smile, he pulled out a sword that was around him and raised it.
“Am I doing something wrong again?”
Fine slit her wrist without hesitation.
There were countless scars on her wrists.
A defense mechanism after losing Licht.
It was a habit she had been doing, weighed down by her guilt and unable to keep her sane any longer.
As soon as a thick, red drop of blood fell.
“Pine!! What are you doing!!”
Suhyeon Lee held her by the arm and stopped her.
How surprised I was, I was talking urgently while breaking out in a cold sweat.
“Whoops.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Seeing that, Fine let out a laugh.
As expected of all of this, she wound up healing right away.
“Look. After all, you are the Licht I remember.”
“…….”
Fine Grancia looked at Lee Soo-hyun, who was surprised, and showed a satisfied expression.
She doesn’t have to be the Licht she knows.
Even though it was a different world, his kindness was always the same.
Even though he knew it was ugly, Fine was persistently threatening him.
Just a little more agitation.
Even if it’s all lies, I need you.
‘I’m sorry for threatening you like this. But… I don’t want to lose you again…’
She gritted her teeth at her rising guilt.
The Inrang tribe is a race that will do anything for love.
Because of trivial misunderstandings, that love was trampled on before it blossomed.
“A person who mourns for me and only thinks of me even if I become a demon.”
In the past, Fine had turned away because the feeling of love was so painful.
For a moment, I regretted that I wouldn’t have done it if such a cold feeling was love.
As if trying to put broken glass back together.
“Next is the neck. Licht.”
Fine was trying to make her lie real.
***
Fine’s condition was worse than I expected.
My tears had already dried up, and blood was coming out instead.
She didn’t hesitate to harm herself in order to hold me back.
“… Bloody let go.”
“I hate it. I will never fall again.”
A black rose grew from where the drop of blood fell, wrapping around my ankle.
A rose vine tightly tightened while making it into a heart shape.
‘I said that magic is the reflection of images.’
Not using glass magic, she already looked like a broken person.
How can I overcome the past?
Will I be able to make her accept the fact that I am dead and return to her original self?
“Licht. I get it now.”
She looks at my expression and says as if she noticed something.
Tickling her chin with her fingers, she has a seductive smile that will seduce men in her.
“Seeing that you know my name. Did something else happen there?”
My face is reflected in the red eyes.
The cheeks are stained with blush, and the wolf ears are slightly pulled back.
“Can you call me Mardol again?”
The wagging wolf tail was visible even behind his back.
Mardol.
An alias she used at her academy.
Originally, she learned the name Phinegrancia while dealing with the Apostle of Gluttony.
“I only thought you were an enemy targeting the imperial family….”
She said she had never told me the name Fine Grancia.
He knew the information about the Brave Bridge better than anyone else.
It was to deal with Magic Hat, but she turned into a demon in front of her eyes.
Even at this time, she rescued Chartines with Nex.
“I am the same blood. Love me..”
Maybe because she didn’t take the grand route, she stopped trusting me.
“..Could it be that the helmet fell off during the grade exam and everything went wrong?”
A relationship of trust that has already been broken.
The only difference that came to mind was this.
“Yeah, I’ve been avoiding you ever since. It was so stupid.”
“…….”
If I had known Fine’s face earlier, I would have known that she was a saint and tried to protect it.
On the contrary, it seemed to be a burden to her.
“I’m sorry. I can’t understand your sincerity…”
Pine started apologizing to me now that my limbs were completely bound.
“I’m very late, but…. The one you gave me as a ‘nameless saint’ is growing well.”
She said, pointing to the blue rose blooming behind her throne.
‘Mana rose.’
A rose flower with a hint of freshness.
I must have used it to save Fine.
Why is that thing here?
“I did well, right? I kept my promise to you.”
As if to ask for a compliment, the black-haired girl took my hand and stroked her hair.
Originally, after the grade exams were over, I would have kept that rose.
“Pine, did I give you that as a gift..?”
“Yes. You gave it to me right after the grade exams were over.”
Originally, after defeating her head, she wore it as her hair ornament.
The rose in the flower language of miracle has now lost its meaning.
“How did you know that you like blue roses? It gave me goosebumps when I saw you give it as a gift.”
I was trapped in her past, dyed in black.
“But, since you’re back now… isn’t everything going well?”
“……”
Looking at it reminded me of a fact I had been missing until now.
‘Then that kid couldn’t be….’
She was a black-haired girl who called me daddy.
A little boy named Rin told me to take good care of Mana Rose.
‘Is it really from the future?’
Me and Fine’s hair color are both black.
I was able to cross the world line now, and it wasn’t impossible if I borrowed the power of the demon, Fine.
Then there is only one difference.
“Could it be that I didn’t use Mana Rose to save you…?”
“……”
“Pine, please answer me..!!”
Because she already gave her a rose as a gift, she couldn’t heal her right away after being shot by her.
A rose that is said to have been in the imperial palace all along.
A situation in which she could not get out of the battlefield without leaving her even if she used her wisdom.
“… That’s right. Licht.”
That minor difference divided the joys and sorrows.
A happy ending just one step away.
“My God..”
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
Thanks to Masterpiece, she didn’t die, but she came to her senses later and found me.
“I’m sorry I’m weak..”
It was impossible to revive someone who was already dead.
“The reason I awakened as a demon was to save you…”
Either turn back time and kill the demon king beforehand.
No matter what means are used to revive me.
“They say that it has to be the grand route..”
He said it would be impossible without a grand route where all possibilities converge.
“I stayed up all night with tears like that… and then I found you.”
She keeps stroking my cheek like she loves it.
“I can’t believe that dream….”
“Probably right. How happy I was to see you.”
Ever since she found out I was alive on another world line, she says she has been trying to find me.
“… Fine, then please help me.”
“Why am I…? Are you here now and..”
After hearing her words, I asked for help from Fine. She was the black-haired woman who immediately shook her head.
“Didn’t you help Magic Hat not steal the demon sword Horizon?”
The reason why I couldn’t find the magic sword no matter how much I searched for it.
He said he had it in advance to prevent Magic Hat from using it.
It was a bonus that she split her own power and put it in to help defeat her guy.
“I thought she couldn’t cross the world line because she was obviously hindered. You’re coming this way…”
She tried to possess me while invading the barriers created by the gods.
“Maybe this is destiny.”
─Jjook.
Fine was kissing my cheek with a gentle voice.
“I will soon declare you a criminal of the empire. Wait a munite.”
“… ….”
Love is heavy.
She said that even if she somehow escaped, she would come back and keep her brand on her.
Because you can lock it up so that no other woman can take it away.
“I will not use violence. Because I never want to see you get hurt.”
Clap—.
With those words, I bring a chain from somewhere and secure my arm.
“It may be a little… uncomfortable, but bear with it.”
“Pine, you can’t do this..”
“It will be cold in the dungeon, but it will be warm if the two of you are together.”
It seems like you can’t hear me already.
To the extent that I want to say that the way I smile brightly while looking at myself is beautiful.
“I love you. Licht..”
She looked happy.
[Pray for the life of Fine Grancia who has become a demon.]
At that time, the status window appeared before my eyes.
Begging for help.
Pantoz must have said that a while ago.
[The generous girl may have her mercy on Lee Soo-hyun.]
What should I do?
If you take care of the convenience of the demon, Fine, she will not be able to return to her original world.
That’s why she’ll be sad if you pull out her sword and fight.
Do I really have to beg here?
“…..I hate it.”
At least I won’t beg for my life.
The moment I closed my eyes while thinking about the soon-to-be future.
Quaaang—!!
“Am I too late? Richt?”
“… Kynell?”
With her tremendous roar, the back wall of her throne collapsed as she sat on it.
“I told you that wherever you are, I will follow you to the ends of hell.”
A demon king with a familiar face appeared.
