(EP.351)#1
351 – Abandonment #1
Sandora, the city of northern witches, was a city as big as its history.
Thanks to that, many people usually flocked to it, but today, it was difficult to find a place to walk because there were so many people in every city and alley.
“Wow.”
For Narmi, it must have been the first sight seeing so many people.
“A lot of people! The bald ones over there must be the Sephiroth monks of the Eastern Mountains. I didn’t expect to see you in the North! Shall we pretend we know?”

Narmi and the imps looked frantic as they watched the crowds from all over the world.
“Are all the people who came to participate in the Bimu Festival? I think there are well over ten thousand people!?”
At Narmi’s question, Mirna shook her head.
“Not all of these people are going to the festival. But in other words, I think it could be seen as participating in the festival.”
Where Mirna’s red eyes were headed, peddlers spread out mats here and there, selling unfamiliar and exotic items. Beside them, ladies in kilns are gracefully fanning with the help of servants.

Not only people who want to participate in this festival, but also all kinds of desires for the special purpose of this festival make the city lively.
In such a place, accidents usually do not cease.
-Someone stole my wallet!
-Mom! Mom, where are you? I lost my mother’s hand!
-Whoever touched Borbor’s tail arbitrarily… ! This is very imp loathing… !
I’m really out of my mind
I was vaguely predicting that this would happen, so I put a lot of troops and budgets into maintaining security, but it doesn’t seem easy.

Now, somewhere in this city, is Elgar leading the soldiers to solve various problems and incidents?
At that time, what I saw was an armor painted with blue dye on a silvery background.
Around the time the red cross in the center seemed very familiar to them, a large crowd of people turned towards them.
-They are Inquisitors.
– Get out of the way.
They were Crusaders sent from the Gwangyeom Church.
A sword and a bible wrapped around his hands and waist.
When I look at the cloak and insignia that are nicely wrapped around me, as I get used to this medieval world, a romance about knights is born in my heart.
I don’t know if they also came to participate in this non-war festival, but the reaction of these northerners towards them seemed to be quite poor.
– Unlucky guys.
– I don’t like it.
Seeing distrust and anxiety in people’s eyes, I asked Mirna about this. Mirna is a devout fanatic, so she must know something about this situation.
“It seems that the favorability towards the Crusaders is very low.”
Mirna answered him lightly.
“Until a century ago, these northern lands were the most active heresy hunting grounds. Many witches and seekers have been killed by swords and torches.”
“okay.”
“As far as I know, I’ve heard that the people of the Tarantera family have also been affected by many quarrels.”
Mirna’s story reminded me that Aira hated going to church.
I thought it was simply because I did not like the dogmatic teachings and policies of the denomination. Considering that there is a deep feud between her family and the denomination, there are parts that make sense.
In particular, the denomination did not recognize the status of the Tarantera royal family. I thought it was simply because the denomination supported the old royal family, the Angmar family.
Perhaps there was a conflict between the two that I had not yet grasped. I guess the reason I couldn’t hear it because I was active in the courtroom was because it had been covered up for a long time.

I see

Now that I think about it, it seems that it was quite reckless to have Aira, the queen of the Tarantera family, face the Ark, the institution’s facility.
I feel like I can understand why Reinhardt nailed it as impossible when he heard the story.
Taking the daughters of the witches to the Ark, the home of the Inquisitors and Crusaders, to educate them. If I had known the above facts in advance, I would have completely revised the plan.
“So where is the Queen now?”
At Narmi’s cheerful question, I got out of my mind.
A few days after waking up from Aira’s dream, until the day before the opening of the festival, Queen Aira, the main character of the event, was so busy that it was difficult to see her face.
“You must have felt it too. The Queen has definitely changed.”
I also nodded in agreement with Mirna’s gossip. Ira has changed. Would it be better to express that something worth calling life has returned to life?
It can be seen as a positive change in that he is motivated to go out and do things differently from when he was confined to his own room and was spending a lot of time sleeping.
“Right now, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, so I think you will be everywhere.”
Mirna opened her slender eyes in response to my proper answer and stabbed my side with her elbow.
“I thought Sir Tae Oh knew everything about the Queen.”
“I knew that too.”
But it was a very arrogant idea to know everyone. It is true that I came to know this after visiting in a dream, but there were many things I did not know about Aira.

No, let alone Ira, I have doubts about myself.
* * *
I returned from the chaotic streets, sat on the bed of the hostel and meditated.
When I closed my eyes, I could feel the mana inside me and the energy of nature pushing me outside in opposite directions.
As I kept that tension and gradually reached the state of selflessness, memories of the past popped up in my head one by one as if my head was trying to get in the way to hinder the practice.
A memory like the first time I met Marmar at the stake. If I hadn’t gone for a walk with Aira then, and had not bought Marmar, what would I have been doing now?
If I hadn’t been admitted to ARC by telling the story again… .
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, I have too many thoughts.
Bael, you can eat my miscellaneous thoughts.
ㅡHyo… !
I can feel the rustling paper spider in my chest eating something metallurgically. I started doing this meditation in the first place in order to better handle the recently acquired High Spell Bael.
Tomorrow’s no-show.
To win there, even if it were me, I had to do my best. When I looked down the street today, I saw many prominent warriors from cities, kingdoms, and distant countries.
I don’t know what kind of fight they’ll show, so I have to be nervous too.

Can I really win? If you stay to the end and fight Aira for the last time and win. How will I be?
If so, the plan to put the four great gates under me must have been fulfilled.
“Status window.”
I opened my lips, which had been silent for a long time, and spoke lightly into the air. Then several letters come to mind, and my eyes are dizzy.

I manipulated them to display the characters I wanted.
「Final goal achievement rate 1/4」
final purpose.
The number that has risen since defeating Stella’s older brother Opal is still at 1.
Even after seducing Elgar, Mirna, and Narmina and Stella, I felt a little nervous at the shame that did not change.
A few minutes to ponder in the middle of the two extremes, where we vaguely guess what the meaning of the letters is and at the same time deny.
sssss.
rumble.
A strange wind from somewhere opened the window in my room. Thanks to that, all the candles that had been lit had gone out, and the room became dark as if it had gone dark.
“What wind.”
squeak, squeak. When I got out of bed and approached the window because the loud noise interrupted my meditation.
The act of looking at the expansive garden through the window on the second floor evoked what I could call déjà vu or old memories.
I was always waiting for someone while looking out the window from such a high place and far away. I had been waiting for my mother to return.
But it was only now that I found out that I couldn’t remember even the smallest fragments of my mother’s face or voice. Only the vague feeling of ‘waiting’ remains.
“The tension is relaxed. If I were the one who wanted to hurt you, Tae-oh, your neck would have been rolling on the floor.”
Then I turned my head to the sound of a soft voice coming from behind me. In a dark room with all the candles extinguished, there was a man with a black robe pressed to his head.
“When did you come in?”
“just now.”
“I never thought you would come, so the room is a bit messy. We will clean it up quickly.”
As she was about to put away the candles and books she had laid out for meditation, Aira, who took off her robe, looked around and snapped her fingers.
Soon, a glowing sphere floating in the air illuminates the room, and at the same time, messy books and candles pile up in one corner.
“yes?”
At that moment, Aira, who made a strange snoring sound, gestured, and a book floated into the air and held in her slender, white hand.
“It’s a book about the history of heresy inquisition.”
“Well, I think people in the north seem to have a lot of hostility towards the sect. Also, as far as I know, I’ve heard that House Tarantera suffered a lot of damage.”
“It’s just a thing of the past.”
Ira had lost interest, so she roughly placed a book nearby. Then he sits on a soft chair nearby and crosses his legs.
Only then did I know that Aira entered my room. It felt real that she and I were alone. Isn’t this the first time Aira has come to my room like this without saying a word?
It was common for me to visit Aira’s room.
This situation is awkward. No, actually, I was awkward with Aira these days. These days, when I look at her witty and twinkling eyes, I feel as if my plan has been revealed.
Ira, whom I met in my dream two years ago, had a clairvoyant, didn’t I say something about it? If such a thing is real, haven’t you already stolen a lot of my heart and my head?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, if it were, Aira wouldn’t have kept me alive.
I don’t know.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I asked impatiently when the awkward silence began to press my shoulder.
“So, why did you come to me at this late hour?”
At my question, Ira slowly opened her mouth.
The story I heard from her was quite surprising.
