(EP.413)Blue #4
413 – Mary Blue #4
The closer I got, the more clearly the light from the window enveloped my body.
When I finally got there and looked outside, I felt like my head was awakened by the familiar sight through the window.
yes i know this place
This was originally where I had to be. An old swing creaking playground. Children and teachers playing with dirt.
In particular, the red sunset reflected in the distance was pretty cool to me. Yes, this window was the place where I could see the sunset better than any other place I knew.
So, whenever the sun is setting, I always put a chair in front of the window like this and sit and watch the sunset.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, no.
I told everyone that I was sitting here to watch the sunset. Actually, I really liked the sunset.
My eyes only turned to the corner, beyond the fence and the rusty front door, that looked far away.
The man who left me here has been around the corner waiting for someday to come back. I waited every day for that familiar figure to appear from there and wave at me.
“Yeah, I was always looking out this window.”
Memories come to mind one by one. Things like memories of waiting for someone. However, I couldn’t remember a single thing about that person’s face or appearance.
Who the hell have I been waiting for?
Then I hear someone’s voice in my ear.
– Please visit us directly. over the window. Just like you wanted it to be.
beyond the window Yes, I remember that too. At some point, I stopped sitting by the window. But he was always ready to go beyond it.
I was trying to find it myself.
My mother who left me.
I didn’t just wait, I thought I’d finally found the location after asking around to find it myself—.
Then one day, my world changed drastically.
There was a time when I thought that there was no causal relationship between the two and that I was just getting caught up in someone’s terrible prank, but now I think I understand.
“Anytime, anywhere, there was always one person I was waiting for.”
I told you to go through the window.
I wanted to go towards the corner that looked far away. So when I reached out to open the window and unlocked it, the window did not open easily because it had a lot of rust.
As I creaked it for a while, I felt something cold against my face. As I slowly opened my eyes, someone trembled in front of my blurry vision.
Is it a cold wet towel that touches your forehead?
“Mom… ?”
“Why am I your mother?”
I was blown away by that blunt voice. As I opened my eyes more, my blurred vision became clear, and only then did I know who the person in front of me was.
“Mr. Elgar.”
“Okay, are you out of your mind now?”
“How the hell did this happen?”
“I don’t know either. I felt like I was floating, but when I came to my senses, I was in your office. And then you fell down and didn’t get up.”
did that happen
Was it just a dream?
While I was dreaming, Elgar threw a cold towel on my forehead. Maybe it was a towel that had been soaked in ice water, my mind woke up in no time.
“Hey… !”
“Hey, what is it? So, let’s not ride in an unfinished magic circle. It’s not my opinion, it’s that Leonoi in my stomach didn’t want to get burned.”
“Are you Leonoi?”
“Yeah, bastard, if something bad is going to happen, just kick my stomach.”
fill your stomach Can you feel the fetal movement? I don’t think it’s time to feel active fetal movement yet? Maybe it’s just what Elgar is saying.
However, it must be true that he lost his mind due to the unfinished magic circle.
Perhaps there were errors in the movement magic of space that I was not aware of, and the reverse flow of magical power caused an overload in my head, so I lost my mind as if it was power saving.
If I had been holding on to reason, the overloaded magic might have burned a few mana circuits in my head. Then you must have had a lot of headaches.
therefore.
Was the window you were looking at just a dream? It was too vivid to be a dream.
I asked.
“How long have I been lying down?”
“Well, about an hour or so.”
Time has passed.
I got up.
Elgar grabs my shoulder like that.
“Hey, can you lie down a little longer?”
“it’s okay. I just fell because I didn’t get enough sleep, and it really doesn’t matter.”
Shh.
I tucked my feet into the warm fur slippers and slowly walked out the window. It was hard to tell whether it was night or day because of the rain pouring down outside.
Elgar says
“It’s raining like a hole in the sky, and I don’t know if the wedding will go well. Shouldn’t it be postponed to another day?”
I suddenly remembered her question. It was raining heavily and it was said that only one day was the clearest and quietest. So I slowly shook my head.
“It will stop.”
* * *
ㅡ kkkkeng!
Something tickled my face, and I slowly opened my eyes. Even himself was surprised by the eyelids that opened so lightly.
“what.”
I got up from the bed and turned around. His body was showing the best condition ever.
“great.”
ㅡ kkkkeng!
“You will be fine too.”
After filling a rice bowl full of food such as almonds or walnuts in the dog squirrel’s rice bowl, remove the curtain that has been left for a long time.
👌👌👌👌
Then, the dazzling morning sunlight permeated the room. It had been raining for a few days and the damp room felt refreshed just by itself.
“The weather is nice.”
I left the window wide open. The cool breeze coming in through the open crevices, the smell of wet earth, and the peculiar smell of dew in the morning wet my nose.
It rained for a few days, and as Vasago said, it cleared up on the tenth day.
Perhaps because it had been raining, the world seemed to have changed to a more vivid and lively place.
Hidden birds poke their heads, and the dog squirrel Keng Keng’s girlfriends peek through the open window.
Then, with a bunch of pine nuts and peanuts in his mouth, Kengkeng slipped out of the window with his girlfriends.
“What is it, you asked me to open the window because you wanted to see the girls? There is no truth.”
The dog squirrel Keng Keng’s girlfriends were wild dog squirrels.
Their names are Mirno, Normi, Elsa, Airi, and Stelli. It’s no coincidence that someone I know has a similar name.
The dog squirrel Keng Keng is somehow like me, so I gave his girlfriends names that are similar to and resemble people I know.
What’s strange though is that sometimes when I call my name, they come up on my lap and rummage through my pockets. Even female squirrels know how to call themselves.
So, I tried to tame them as well, but it didn’t work as well as I thought, so I just let them go outside and inside.
That’s why they’re girlfriends, not Keng Keng’s wives.
To me, being a wife is the concept of living together under one roof, and a girlfriend is the concept of living separately. It’s probably similar to the dog squirrel. It would be nice to get married.
smart.
Then someone knocked on my door.
━Tae-nim, are you awake?
It was Professor Balan’s voice.
-It’s no different, today is the wedding day, so get up early and prepare… .
okay.
It did.
“It happened.”
I am getting married today.
Dressing up and walking on the red carpet, they become the most demanding and beautiful wives and family in the world.
How did time pass like this? The few days of rain went by so quickly with various preparations and conversations.
I think I’m going to be the groom of five brides in front of people today, so what should I say… .
I felt very happy and at the same time my heart melted like a cold sherbet in my mouth.
know.
To the extent that the analogy is strange.
If it were Elgar, he might have slapped a honey chestnut in my head, saying, “Say something you can understand!”
However, to explain my current state, I could only use this analogy. strange feeling. Maybe this is the pre-marriage blue?
how do you all feel
I remembered the girls who would have started waking up one by one here somewhere.
After the ceremony, the groom should not look at the bride’s face until they appeared on the red carpet.
Anticipating how they would appear to me, I opened the door.
“Professor Balan, good morning.”
“Yeah, yes. As Vasago said, the weather has really cleared up. It is a very good day for Tae-oh to get married and to take the initiative of the five young girls.”
“Yes.”
I smiled lightly and followed Balaan to the preparation room where the grooms were supposed to stay.
Imp helpers waiting there bring various brushes and cosmetics and start painting on my face.
“I am also working as an ink imp… ! It’s what makes our best comrade Taeonoi shine more than any other imp or nymph… !”
Soon after, cosmetics that I had never painted before were applied to my body.
“This scar… .”
As Purpur seemed to ponder for a moment as he looked at the scar he had cut in my right eye, I said lightly as I sat in the chair and looked at the mirror.
“Leave it alone. I like this scar now. In a way, today’s wedding was a lot of thanks to this scar.”
“… … ?”
The imps who do not know about me and Elgar just tilt their heads. Then Marmar appeared and showed me several clothes. They were all nice tuxedos.
“The groom’s attire must be black! Imp Black! It’s the goblin’s favorite color… !”
Marmar pretending to be on my body and putting on a tailcoat. Now looking at it, I could see that Marmar’s fine palms were quite chapped and cracked.
“Marmar, that hand… ?”
Imp Tartar in the armband answered my words.
“This is a tailcoat made by Comrade Marmar, the chief imp., by repairing and cutting the fabric himself… ! Of course, our Imp shareholders of Black Angmar Company also helped one by one… !”
Marmar and the imps made their own clothes. There must have been another skill like this. Come to think of it, I did a lot of sewing for a while to make something like a Marumaru doll.
“Thank you, Marmar and Imps.”
Imps trembled at my praise. Then, as if they were getting married, they spur further preparations.
After combing my hair and putting it back, I applied a lot of wax that I didn’t know what it was, and my reflection in the mirror became a decorated nobleman who would not be ashamed to put it anywhere.
Actually, I used to think that this face was handsome for a long time. I didn’t know how to decorate it, and I couldn’t afford to take care of my appearance, so I left it alone.
Seeing it like this resonates with me.
If I had grown up normally with this face, the girls would have cried a bit.
“My first and foremost comrade Tae Onoi is like a prince… !”
“Strictly speaking, he was originally a prince… !”
I left the preparation room behind the Imps who were making a fuss and chattering. Did the grooms say that they should show various performances in front of people?
I’ve been practicing a lot these past few days, but I’m really nervous because I’m actually going to do it.
profit.
Finally open the door.
I went out into the world.
“Look at the world, today’s protagonist, Taeo Gospel of Angmar, is here!”
