(EP.435) Those Who Do #10
435 – The Stopper # 10
“Even so. I’m going to make each of you have ten babies, haven’t you? There are degrees of masculinity.”
“Did Sir Tae-oh say that? In my ears, I will treat you like a princess forever, so I asked you to suffer a little more.”
“I’ve been told it’s fun every night! Of course, how they make it fun is a secret.”
It was Elgar, Mirna, and Narmi in turn.
Walking through the cracks, the young girls talked about the confessions I had made. I really don’t know how I felt when I said those kinds of things.
It’s quite embarrassing to listen to it quietly. So, in order to change the subject of the story, I looked at the surrounding scenery and said.
“Ugh, more than that. It’s a very strange place. I never thought there would be a place like this in the rift.”
In my eyes, I could see butterflies flying around. Yes. it was a butterfly A butterfly gliding beautifully among the flowers.
And as you can infer from the saying that there are butterflies, there was a wide field of flowers on a spring day.
Shrek.
Ira reached out and grabbed a red flower and plucked it.
“Honestly, I thought it was going to be a weird place. I never thought that such a flower garden would come out. It’s a beautiful place.”
In Aira’s mind, this flower garden seemed to be quite pleasing to her. It bothered me a bit that it was so wide that I couldn’t even tell where the end was.
Still, this was better than a desolate dungeon. Fragrant, warm and nice to look at. Is this just what the Garden of Heaven is all about?
But even in such a beautiful space, problems arise.
“So, where do we go now?”
As Elgar said, we were just walking endlessly in a vast flower field with no specific direction or signpost.
just.
without hesitation.
Then Stella asks.
“But now I see that my watch is stopped. Since when have we been walking in this flower garden? How long have we been in here?”
Stella shows us her broken pocket watch. No matter how much I tried to wind the mainspring, the clock did not move.

Come to think of it… .
I have no idea since when I have been walking in this flower garden. It looks like it has just arrived. It seems more than an hour has passed.
The other girls were in a similar situation to me.
“Didn’t you walk for five minutes?”
“I think I walked at least two hours.”
“I thought I walked half a day!”
It was Elgar, Mirna, and Narmi in turn.
Their perception of time itself is different. How is this possible? Anyway, isn’t the difference between 5 minutes and half a day too big?
Ira looked at her expression to see what she would think. Aira, who had picked a red flower earlier, held the flower to her nose and sniffed it.
Ira said.
“The concept of time seems to be mixed up here. I’m used to it, but it’s confusing for first-timers.”
Ira was not embarrassed by this situation and showed a rather relaxed appearance. It was said that she, who possesses the talent 《Claire》, can see through time and see the past.
“The concept of time is useless here. It seems to be flowing though. In fact, it’s good to see it stand still.”
That’s why it seems like he can’t ignore this jumble of time. As Aira was taking her time, I felt quite reassured, so I was able to regain my peace of mind as well.
I said.
“Everyone has something wrong with their body, isn’t it?”
swish.
Everyone nods their heads after touching or examining their bodies.
“I think I’m fine. It’s much more interesting than that. This means that time does not pass here. Don’t you think it doesn’t matter how old we get?”
Elgar’s guess was plausible. If time does not pass, there is no reason to age or experience aging.
“There are a lot of flowers. Is this the heaven that the Gwangyeom Bridge speaks of or is it a place to do something?”
At Elgar’s question, Mirna looked around and said, “Hmm… .” he sighed softly. And finally, after much deliberation, he answers as if he has come to a conclusion.
“A different world where everyone can live forever and never grow old in a bright flower garden… . Sure, there are similarities with the heaven mentioned in Gwangyeomgyo, but… .”
Seeing the words blur, there was something that was not quite clear. Obviously, there are a lot of awkward parts to describe this place as heaven.
there are no angels There are no white-clad villagers or houses made of gold. There is no water to drink and nothing to eat.
You can’t live by eating butterflies and flowers, right?
However, the strange thing was that it seemed like a lot of time had passed, but physiological phenomena such as hunger or thirst did not occur at all.
It’s a weird place.
It was like a flower garden where a fleeting moment was stuffed forever.
Still, I have no choice but to admit that it is beautiful, so I gave this nymph-friendly space the name ‘Eternal Flower Garden’ only in my mind.
I think it would be great if you can bring Marmar or other imps to play here later.
do you have a chance to do that?
Shh.
ㅡ Kyu-Iing.
“Ah, ying-gay!”
At that time, Cloudring Yingyi, who was in Narmi’s arms, flew away. We are all bewildered by his sudden action.
Why is he like that?
We had no choice but to follow him.
* * *
As I said, wherever I looked in this eternal flower garden, there were only colorful flowers and butterflies.
It just seems like these flower gardens exist indefinitely. People’s expectations, as always, are erroneous.
ㅡ Ying yaing.

Cloudring, the cloud monster who flew away from Narmi’s arms, found something and trembled. As we got closer to him, what was there… .
“bonfire… ?”
whose word was it? Was it Elgar? I don’t know who said it, but the answer was very accurate.
Like the traces of aliens created by crop circles, there were traces of a bonfire burning in the area where the flowers were pressed.
Shh.
Stella kneels on the floor and gently touches the hot ashes with her hands.
“It’s still warm. It’s been a while since someone turned off the lights here. No, at least it looks like that. I don’t know what it would be like to be a place where time doesn’t flow… .”
Stella vaguely blurted her answer. We had no way of knowing when this bonfire was put out. However, they could all understand the meaning of this bonfire.
I said.
“Looks like someone was here. It seems that there are other people besides us.”
At that moment, Narmi, who was looking at the floor, raised her hair as if she had found something. Then he stretches out his slender hand between the flowers and picks up something.
“Sister, look at this… !”
“that… ?”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi and Mirna’s eyes focused on the thin piece of metal caught in their fingertips. It was a piece of metal, as I just said. To be more precise, would it be better to say ‘brooch’?
The silvery brooch resembles a roaring dragon standing on its two legs. There’s no way we don’t know that it’s the Draco family emblem.
swish. back-and-forth.
Mirna rummaged through her pocket and pulled out something. It was also a silvery dragon-shaped brooch.
“This is the mark of the Draco owners. Why is this here… ? father? No, are you your grandfather? Maybe it’s nearby… !”
Mirna looked quite excited.
It looks like the bonfire has just been extinguished, so it seems like there must have been someone nearby who dropped the Draco family brooch.
Then Stella opened her mouth.
“Perhaps it was Opal’s party.”
opal.
Opal von Bellhawk.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
None of us knows his name. He was part of the hero who is said to have defeated Solomon. He was a man of great martial arts and at the same time a man of misfortune who died miserably.
“I think Opal and his comrades were here. And if I don’t tell you why I’m here, everyone will know.”
As Stella said, we could roughly guess why Opal’s party had a bonfire here without her needing to explain.
taken from noblemt l
Gargata, the city where the sky was broken, is said to have met the end of the demon king Solomon at the hands of heroes. If so, there may be a place where Solomon died somewhere.
Then Elgar said.
“By the way, if you die in a place like this… . Are you really going to die? You said it’s a place where time doesn’t pass. What will happen?”
We couldn’t answer Elgar’s question. Because no one had the knowledge to answer it.
“Well.”
Did you suddenly have a question? Narmi, who had been keeping her mouth shut for a while, said.
“Well, if time is irrelevant. Don’t you think you can meet old people like Opal and Grandpa here? Is that too far-fetched?”
Then Stella sighed and stretched out.
“Well. I don’t know. Shall we follow some of the nearby trails?”
Stella scans the grass and footprints on the floor with her palm. We decided to follow the trails we saw nearby at her words.
Then something quite strange happened.

Contrary to what I thought the flower garden would last forever, as I walked a bit, a temple that seemed to have appeared in a myth appeared. It would be better to say that it is the site of a temple rather than a temple.
Most of the pillars placed here and there collapsed, and the roof was also missing a lot of parts.
There were weeds and flowers on the floor that looked like marble, so it was hard to tell how neglected the place was.
But it was pretty grand.
The columns and ceiling are so high that I had to look up for a while. I wondered how great it would have been in the time when this was normal.
When everyone is overwhelmed by its power and size and cannot speak.
“Tae-oh, look at that.”
Aira grabbed my side and pointed to something. It was a door located on the far wall of the temple. A stone door designed to open by sliding it from both sides.
It was quite familiar to me, too, and I slowly walked towards the door as if possessed by something. Then, with a little force, he pushes the door.
woowook.
However, it was almost impossible to push the stone gate that seemed to have endured for a long time with my insignificant force. Mirna said when she finally took a few steps back.
“Here, there is an inscription.”
At Mirna’s words, I looked down at the floor. Then, as she said, there were words on the floor as if someone had scribbled it with red paint.
“This… , I’m tired. I think I just wrote it down.”
Mirna rubbed the blood on her hand with her thumb and forefinger and read the letters down.
“We buried history beyond this gate. A person who opens the door without determination. Everything you have will be taken away. It seems to be written that way.”
“It’s my grandmother’s handwriting. Isabel von Tarantera. I know this letter.”
We were silent for a moment at Aira’s words. Because I wasn’t stupid enough to not know what the history sealed behind this meant.
right then
Letters appeared in front of my two eyes.
“Open it.”
“Go back.”
It has been a long time since such clear letters have appeared in front of me. But the meaning of the two words is very different, and I was silent for a moment.
It’s like two people talking to me.
“Then… .”
When something seems to come to mind.
And as you slowly begin to step back towards the door.
“There, you guys.”
Someone was talking behind us.
“I don’t know who it is. If you don’t have anything to see, why don’t you get out of there?”
At that voice, I stopped what I was doing.
It felt like the depths of my brain, which had been sleeping for so long, were ringing desperately.
