(EP.336)Of Hearts #5
336 – Queen of Hearts #5
slurp.
Mirna and Narmi painted with salt around the bed where Aira was lying. It is a unique shaman circle that is different from the general hierarchical magic that I know.
I had no way of knowing what kind of principles and tricks it contained and how it worked, but Mirna was a woman with a rather friendly side, so she explained each one carefully.
“It’s a vibration of the heart. An ancient magic that unites people’s thoughts. In our case, we will be tied together in the image of Queen Tarantera.”
He said it was a full-fledged application of the technique that Aira had seen the other day when she was in a coma.
Unlike the dust proofing I made in a hurry, this time I spent quite a bit of time preparing, so what can be called the quality is different.
“The imaginary world will feel more real. That’s how risky it is. The pain will feel like real pain. If I die in a dream again… .”
Mirna shuts her mouth.
Elgar, who doesn’t like to stop while explaining something, intervenes.
“What if I die? We’re not really going to die, are we?”
It was a plausible enough story.
However, Mirna smiled and shook her head.
“I am not dead. However, you will be trapped in the imaginary world for the time being. It’s not good to feel trapped in someone else’s mind. In some cases, personality is ruined by the influence.”
It’s also terrifying in its own way.
But the sea was prepared for that much.
We now enter into Aira’s dream.
Entering someone else’s dream
To be honest, it was a pretty surreal story.
But I knew it was possible because I had already had that experience once. The last time I entered Aira’s mind, the wedding hall of the Witch Forest appeared.
In the beginning, I was in the novel I was reading.
what the hell
I feel doubtful again.
If I in real life are sleeping and someone uses magic like this to show me this bizarre dream… .
Of course, that’s nonsense.
Because what I’m going through right now is a reality far from an illusion like a daydream. I’m sick of escapism now.
Mirna said.
“It would be nice for another person to stand on the lookout outside. or this shaman circle is damaged. It’s a big deal if other disturbances come in.”
Our eyes are on Elgar.
“Do you want me to stay?”
Probably because Elgar has a child in her womb. I thought it would be better to keep us outside than to get involved in such a dangerous thing.
But Narmi shook her head.
“I don’t know if I should repair the shaman. Also, I need someone who can continue to recite mantras outside and carry out the magic tricks. Little Lioness doesn’t know how to do it. It’s good for me and my sister to stay.”
Mirna sighed lightly at those words.
“Hmm… , that is also true. Because Lioness Girl is really useless in classes like magic and magic, so it’s not helpful. Maybe we’d better go together.”
But I was worried.
“I have a baby in my stomach… . are you okay? If it is harmful to the mother or child, I think it would be better to stop.”
Mirna smiled a little at my words.
“Do you know why this magic of the whole heart was born?”
“No, I don’t know.”
“There is a saying that it is a technique devised by a mother who wants to talk with her child long ago. I don’t know if it’s real though. In fact, it was used by many mothers in the Draco family.”
That’s right.
A mother who meets her child in a dream.
In this bizarre fairy tale world, it was a story that could have been enough.
“But it is natural to be careful. The dream we will enter is not the fantasy of ordinary people, but the nightmare of Queen Tarantera.”
At Mirna’s story, both Elgar and I had a firm expression on their faces. A moment of silence and silence. In the meantime, the only thing he hears is Aira’s even breathing while lying on the bed.
At that moment, Elgar parted her lips as if she was chasing away the stuffy silence.
“So, what should we do?”
“We will take the same pills and enter into Queen Aira’s inner side with the spiritual frequency. Now let’s all sit down.”
Mirna, I, and Elgar were seated in a triangle under their left and right feet, respectively.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi pours us a glass of wine, and after receiving the glass, I suddenly feel a sense of reality, and I am a little nervous.
If it hadn’t been for 《Calm Thinking》, I would have been shivering uncontrollably.
“Then, sister, I am slowly reciting a mantra. I’m going to set up two safety zones. If something is difficult, avoid it.”
“OK got it.”
While Narmi and Mirna were chattering with words they couldn’t understand. I looked at the wine in the wine glass.
Then Elgar gets up from her seat and holds out her cup.
“It’s a special drink, so let’s make a toast.”

Cheers.
in this situation?
But on the one hand, it was a very Elgar story. I don’t know if it was intentional, but what could be called the tension that had been lingering until now was released.
So we put our glasses together.
Mirna smiled because it was so funny.
“Today, I have a lot to laugh about. I hope to be like this in the future.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi nodded at him.
“There will be plenty in the future. Next time, let’s have a wine party with Professor Stella, Imps, and other people. Will it be fun?”
Their eyes are now on me.
I guess I’ll have to say something too.
what would you like to say
There were several things.
In the end, I am grateful for the women who have followed me up to this moment, and my aspirations for what we have to do together in the future… . Many thoughts ran through my mind.
But if you talk too long, everyone will hate it.
So I decided to keep it short.
“The toast will come back.”
braided.
The cup clashes with it.
As I put my lips to the glass, I could feel the burning sensation of burning flames going down my tongue and into my throat and from my throat into my stomach.
A sensation as if swallowed by fire.
“The drink tastes better than expected.”
“Now the signal… .”
Elgar and Mirna’s voices spread.
My world eventually turns to utter darkness.
* * *
Whoops, bang-!
I was awakened by the loud sound of lightning.
When I woke up, I was sitting at a strange table while it was raining heavily.
When I turn my head, I see people talking around me, filling glasses with alcohol and drinks, screaming ravenously, and making a fuss.
Even though rainwater is dripping from the hole in the ceiling, no one cares. What’s this.
Pub?
Why am I sitting here like this?
Didn’t you say that you were going into Aira’s imaginary world?
here is it?
A glass of wine was placed in front of me. My face, reflected in the purple liquid, had the shape of a boy with thin lines and impressive blue eyes.
This time, unlike last time, I can see my face better.
But there are no scars on the eyes.
Then someone sat in the seat in front of me and took off the hood.
“You were here, Sir Tae-oh.”
“Miss Mirna.”
She was Mirna. Mirna, putting her old gray robe back on her head, points her index finger to my greeting, hersing, warning me.
“The security is tight. I’d rather not be noticed.”
“What do you mean by strict security?”
“Do you see those soldiers in armor over there?”
Mirna pointed her finger at the people around her.
I didn’t realize it when I just woke up, but when I looked closely, I saw soldiers wearing armor and clubs and swords clasped around the tavern, checking people out.
I don’t know who you’re looking for.
I didn’t really want to know.
“For now, let’s get out of here. If you get caught by them, it’ll be annoying.”
Then Mirna grabbed my hand and led me.
When I came out holding her hand in the freezing cold, I saw the streets and drunkards sitting on the floor, promiscuously soiled. And you can see beggars and refugees clamoring here and there.
-Do it right! On the subject of slavery!
– Hey!
Seeing the slaves being whipped on the street, I felt a little dazed. I will never forget the smell of this thickly clinging mud.
familiar street.
“Monarch City… .”
This was Monarch City, the capital of Angmar. A vortex of torrents raging and gathering people from all over the world. But I was a little curious as to why I was here.
Wasn’t the image of Aira the last time she jumped into the witch forest?
Mirna said if she had read my thoughts.
“The human mind, like water, tends to change shape according to time and circumstances. So it will be a different place now than it was before.”
As she said that, her eyes turned to the soldiers who were roaming the streets.
Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Down. Soldiers roaming the streets and shops, grabbing people and checking their faces.
“Who are you looking for?”
“It would be us. Apparently, the owner of this city noticed that we came here at will. It will be really annoying if you get caught, so be careful.”
At Mirna’s words, I also pressed the hood attached to my robe deeply on my face. I don’t know for sure, but it wouldn’t hurt to hear Mirna say it.
Rather, when I heard that I was the owner of this city, I lifted my head and looked at the spire rising high through the rain clouds. The tallest building in this royal city of Monarch is by far the palace.
If you’re the owner of this city, it’s probably over there.
Ira.
Or something in her form.
Then Mirna said.
“First, let’s find Lioness Young-ae and join her. They are usually found nearby. It seems that there was a little error because the place is a place. Where is the Lioness villa?”
“ah. If so, I am well aware of it. If the location of the city here is like a real Angmar, you have to go west to Rubicon Street and then to Rome Street.”
“I can’t explain it, so please guide me. I may have to hurry up with work than I thought, so I have to go quickly.”
At Mirna’s urging, I decided to head to the villa of the Lioness family where Elgar was supposed to be. It was quite unpleasant to see the robes slowly getting wet because of the heavy rain.
Thanks to this, he could not see even an inch ahead, so he was able to easily outrun the soldiers in the alleys. What is it that rains so much? The non-stop lightning strikes are also quite eerie.
It won’t be struck by lightning.
Fortunately, there were no lightning strikes until we made our way to the villa of Lioness.
“This is Lioness Villa.”
“This is the famous lion’s den. Really, to build such a luxurious and huge mansion in the royal capital. Western people’s sense of beauty… .”
Mirna, who was grunting, stopped speaking because someone approached us. With an umbrella and a lamp in his hand, his gait with his waist upright is quite stiff.
“This is the property of the Lioness. Let me back out.”
The first thing I saw was the lenses of my external glasses.
The old gentleman with it on his right eye warns us lightly. I remember that this man was the butler of the Lioness family or something. what was your name
Of course, that’s not what’s important right now.
“Is Elgar inside?”
At my question, the butler’s eyes widened.
“who are you?”
There are two junctions for me here.
will you tell the truth
Or will you just wrap around it?
There was no guarantee that this man wouldn’t hand us over to the soldiers if we told the truth. Because this man is not a real butler, but an illusion created by Aira’s image.
Then finally a conclusion was reached.
“I’m Tae-oh Gospel.”
I don’t have time to stock up on stuff.
“… Teo Gospel… .”
In response to my answer, the butler of the outer glasses narrowed the brow slowly. Now, I’m a little nervous about how it will come out, so he asks.
“Who is that?”
“yes?”
I was perplexed for a moment.
Because it was an answer I hadn’t thought of at all. No, does this make sense? I am Yoseung Tae-oh Gospel.
In this Angmar, even three-year-olds know my name, so I put my name in a nursery rhyme and use it as a joke.
that you don’t know my name
Is there a variable because it’s Aira’s imaginary world?
Then Mirna grabbed my shoulder.
“Sir Tae-oh, let’s step back for a moment. If it stays like this, the guards might clash with the suspicious people.”
Also, Mirna is wise.
But I couldn’t back off like this.
So I decided to say one more thing.
“Excuse me, butler. Let me ask you just one thing. What’s your birthday, Lioness Young-ae this year?”
The butler opens his slender eyes.
I was wondering why you wanted to ask me this.
Perhaps he thought that it would be okay to answer this much, but he opened his lips between the neatly trimmed beards.
“You are nineteen this year.”
Only then did I feel the truth as if a water balloon had spread in my chest. A sense of déjà vu I felt while looking at the city. The question I felt when I saw a slave being whipped.
There was a reason.
This was the royal capital Monarch City.
However.
The world before the Anti-Slavery Abuse Act was introduced by Teo Gospel.
It was Monarch City about two years ago.
I’m back to two years ago, when I didn’t exist yet.
And Ira from 2 years ago… .
More than anything else, he was a terrible tyrant.
Uh oh
