The 101st me, the 35th you.-3
I thought about contacting Mirazen again, but I stopped because I thought we would fight again soon.
Even though I just cleaned up the alien warriors, they’ll come and fight again after time passes anyway.
Earlier, I fought because I was an example, but if the number increases, it will be me who will be in trouble.
It was necessary to react a little calmly.
Right now, my purpose is not to fight, but to save Mirazen. Wouldn’t it be the best way to get out safely and join Adele?
I checked the condition of my body, but there was nothing particularly bad.
I used up my stamina, but it shouldn’t be too much to deal with a few more people.
Temuchin…Well, I’ve fought before, but it’s worth it.
In the first place, the reason why Temuchin was uncomfortable was because he ran away well with the wolf’s mobility.
There was nothing scary about the princess staying indoors, as it was obvious that even if they met, it would be inside.
“Whoa.”
Being familiar with pain is helpful in many ways.
I wonder if I should do this thanks to YuRia, but thanks to her sore body, these wounds didn’t hurt at all.
I stopped the bleeding moderately and walked slowly.
Even as I exhaled white steam from the cold weather, my gaze searched for a passage into the building.
In fact, the distance from the building was quite far.
You might not have noticed that I came here because I purposely came back after fighting a foreigner, but I guess you need to be careful.
Looking around, I saw only snow-covered rocks.
Rocks much larger than people are piled up, and the terrain surrounds it like a mountain range.
This is why it is called a rough terrain.
If you enter a place like this, wouldn’t it be possible to barely move at least one person? wander around for a while,
Then, a rock was found in a strange location.
I alone had a shallow pile of snow, and when I cleared it, a small hole appeared.
If it was something like this, it would be easy to find, so when I covered the rock again, the eyes came back like magic.
Was it covered with camouflage magic? After all, it would be difficult to inspect every single rock in a snowy field like this.
If it hadn’t been for someone like me, I wouldn’t have even thought of getting around here.
After looking around for a moment, he pushed himself into the hole.
“…It’s not as narrow as I thought.”
What was inside the hole was just a building.
As the building was built by the princess herself, it was quite luxurious, so it could be said that the facilities were slightly better than normal research facilities.
The magic crystals embedded here and there lit up the inside like lanterns, and as I walked along the hallway, I saw the stairs going down.
The place where Mirazen is hiding is down here,
I tried to spread my magic to detect any unknown presence, but nothing was clearly caught.
I think they are all dead.
It felt sorry for those who were sacrificed to protect one princess, but there was no need to waste time thinking about that in this situation.
Because their sacrifice will be completed by me saving Mirazen.
I quickened my steps a little more and started walking.
As soon as I went downstairs, I felt the existence of countless overlapping barriers.
It might take a while to break through.
Since there had been no battles before, I took out the artifact again and called Miragen.
“Can you hear me?”
-it’s okay? Are there any injuries?
He was slightly stabbed when he asked if he was hurt, but answered in a calm voice.
I’ll see you soon anyway, so there’s no need to worry in advance.
“Rather than that, it is now in front of the barrier. I think it will take a little longer to break through, so is there any way to manipulate it there?”
-Ah, the barrier… the barrier. Wait a minute, I know how to solve them.
Even while waiting like that, Mirazen kept asking me about me.
Did you get hurt, how many people did you fight with?
Shocked by the fact that about 30 people had fought, she persistently asked how many people were injured after that.
You should just release the barrier and see for yourself.
He let out a small sigh and opened his mouth with a slight hesitation.
“I think you are slightly injured.”
-You think you’re a little hurt? How hurt are you? Did the arrow hit?
“I got hit a few times, but it’s probably okay-”
-What’s good about being hit by a few shots-!
Seeing him scream through the artifact made me laugh for some reason.
Had it been like this before, it was because Mirazen and I were lovers because it wasn’t a single episode.
We met a few times… and even talked about getting married a few times.
Although it has never been done that way.
Come to think of it, except for the saintess, I think they were entangled in one way or another.
Adele… after all, it wasn’t an ordinary relationship. However, I didn’t want to be in a relationship with anyone in this life.
Even if the other person gets hurt, I think it would be better to reject it coldly.
So the more I felt the familiar look of Miragen, the darker my expression was.
Now I could hear the whimpering of the barrier being lifted.
I removed the barriers that were disappearing one by one with my hands, and now that the barriers were completely erased, the door burst open from the inside.
“How the hell did you get hurt- oh my.”
In fact, I didn’t expect it to come out so quickly, so I showed it as it was with blood on it.
It must have been a mess to take off the cloak on the way.
After staring blankly at me for a moment, Mirazen then came towards me with a hopeless expression on her face.
“Are you crazy, are you crazy? really.”
“…I tried hard not to get hurt.”
“This, right now… doesn’t look like someone who made an effort. am i stupid Anyone who has shed blood like this is someone who hasn’t been hurt anywhere.”
“It’s not all my blood. It can be said to be a very small amount.”
Mirazen, who had been glaring at me like that, patted my chest as if feeling frustrated and examined my wounds.
Counting each one like that, it was quite a lot. Fighting against thirty people, there is no way to win without a single wound.
So just when I was feeling a bit sad, Mirazen raised her head like a ghost and stabbed me in the chest with her finger.
“Don’t make a sad face. I even ordered not to get hurt, but what should I do if I get hurt like this? Do I look like a very comfortable person?”
“Yes, it is comfortable.”
“No… uh. If I say that, what should I say?”
Laughing at that reaction, Mirazen shook her head with a sullen expression.
If I were to choose the person I feel most comfortable with in my life, I think it would be Miragen.
In fact, wouldn’t it be the same throughout all rounds? I don’t know if this relationship will continue in the future, but right now it is said that it is.
“Even if I want to heal the wound, I can’t do it now. it’s okay?”
“If it weren’t for you, you wouldn’t have come this far. Since he stopped the bleeding with magical power, there shouldn’t be any problem even if we fight a few more times.”
Mirazen, who was looking at me suspiciously, nodded as if she couldn’t help it.
In fact, there was no problem even if I stayed here. I’ll wait until Adele arrives, and when Adele arrives here, I’ll be able to join.
However, the problem was that the opponent was Temuchin.
If it was Temuchin, couldn’t he come up with the idea of exploding the whole place?
“I’m going out the aisle I came from. By the way, is there any other place besides that?”
“Of course there is. But there is a possibility that he could have noticed it.”
“…You’d better keep in mind the possibility of going that way, just in case. Didn’t you expect that immigrants would come to the northwest in the first place?”
“By the way, what about the other soldiers?”
When I didn’t answer that question, Mirazen, who understood the meaning to some extent, laughed bitterly.
Mirazen, who has often said that she disliked the status of a princess, would not like this situation either.
However, she had to live.
For the sacrifice of others to become a sacrifice, she must get out of here safely.
“Wait a minute.”
Mirajen stopped me from moving forward, then stabbed something in my arms and patted my back.
When I asked what it was, he looked forward again and opened his mouth.
“It’s an artifact I secretly brought. It has the ability to temporarily hide itself. It will be Prince Taylor who will fight, so wouldn’t it be better than what I use?”
It’s an artifact that hides itself, so it’s questionable how to use it during a fight.
In case you don’t know, it would be better to have Miragen.
However, since his expression was so serious, he could not refute it and could only express his gratitude.
As I walked along the hallway for a long time, I noticed the bloodstains I spilled as I walked.
I didn’t know, but I dragged my feet to erase it, but when I found it, Mirazen crinkled her brow.
It is impossible not to shed blood. I don’t think it’s my fault.
If I had to argue, it was the fault of the foreign people who shot me with arrows.
As they walked, Mirazen said nothing.
Perhaps he was concerned about the people who died to protect him, but he only occasionally frowned as he glanced in the direction the soldiers would have fought.
Saying anything in a situation like this won’t help anything.
It’s just better to give her time to think for herself.
In the meantime, what I was doing was emitting mana and observing the surroundings.
In case the aliens could find the passage, it was better to attack first before they noticed this.
Not in a hurry, slowly.
A strange atmosphere flowed as we walked together through the quiet hallway.
As if he had something to say, he shrugged at Mirazen, who was staring at me.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“…No, what. I was just curious.”
After hesitating for a moment, Mirazen glanced at me and continued talking.
“Why are you here to rescue me? I’ve only seen you for a while. You don’t have to come alone, and it wouldn’t have been strange if you joined the Archduke. You wouldn’t have to come alone.”
“It was necessary.”
“What did you just-”
However, Mirazen’s words did not follow.
As my expression stiffened at the momentary presence, Mirazen held her breath while covering her mouth.
There was nothing up until now, but there was a group of people who had entered this building.
It’s not just one or two, but many, the reason why they’re heading this way must be to capture Mirazen.
“…It seems that the aliens have entered. It seems that the defense line has been breached.”
Mirazen didn’t answer. He just nodded and seemed to be waiting for me to say something.
Unfortunately, the direction the aliens entered was close to the passage we were heading towards.
That means you can’t head there.
Protecting Miragen and fighting at the same time is probably close to impossible.
I had to find a different direction. However, it was a problem that I couldn’t go with Miragen anymore.
The large and mighty energy felt from the presence, it was easy to recognize that it belonged to Temuchin.
The probability that the two of them would escape from that was not high even if they thought about it over and over again.
“You have to go the other way.”
“Then we have to turn around. Why are you standing there?”
Mirazen grabbed my wrist, but I politely let go and replied.
“I can’t go. We have to stop them here so that Your Highness can escape.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you thinking of stopping the aliens alone? With that body now?”
He doesn’t answer, he just nods his head.
Mirazen made an angry expression. He said it was nonsense not to go with him, and he seemed to be thinking of going out somehow.
However, that is impossible.
Even if they went together, the aliens would definitely block the road and besiege this place.
Wouldn’t it be impossible for me to break through that while protecting Miragen?
“It’s the only way. Shouldn’t you live?”
“Gongja. Do you think Confucius will just… die here?”
“I don’t die. I don’t even have the confidence to die, and if you’re the chieftain of a foreign tribe, it’s worth fighting.”
It was half bluff, but Mirajen hesitated at the words and stared at me. I felt that the situation was the opposite of before.
Mirajan objected to running away together, and Mirajan, who left alone, died.
Perhaps if the aliens were stopped here, Mirazen would safely escape.
It would be impossible for Temuchin to handle me alone, so he will surely gather his subordinates here.
I gently squeezed Mirazen’s hand as she stared at me.
It was an act to reassure her, but at the same time, it was to hand her an artifact.
“You can use it in case of emergency. If you get out, head north and join the Archduke. I will come out on my own after dealing with the aliens.”
“……under.”
I could feel Mirazen’s gaze glaring at me as if it was absurd.
The eyes quickly turned red. Wouldn’t it be a bit strange to look at it like that? I’m not going to die
It wasn’t that difficult to catch the immigrants. It’ll hurt a little bit. I won’t die though.
Tuk-tuk. Tap Mirazen’s shoulder to send a signal.
There was no more time to delay. When I got my attention, Miragen had to run in the opposite direction,
I had to stop Temuchin here.
Mirazen must have known that too, so she turned her back without saying anything.
Still hesitating, it seemed like he had a lot to say.
However, Mirazen did not open her mouth any more.
He ran forward and disappeared from my sight.
After confirming that Miragen was gone, I was able to sigh and mutter.
“I don’t think I will die.”
There is a feeling that you feel when it is time to die.
I didn’t feel anything like that, and I could have hidden it if I had to. I’ve lived 100 times, should I die here?
…And I was the one holding the sword for this situation.
If a situation like the last day of the 35th comes.
In order to be able to protect it at that time, so as not to regret it.
I was the one holding the sword.
Deliberately raises mana as much as possible.
As the blue magical energy shone, I could feel Temuchin’s presence, realizing it, was heading this way.
I had a thought while holding the sword.
The reason for holding the sword and the goal to be reached in the future.
The reason was to realize one’s own weakness and overcome it even by using force.
In order not to lose the one who was precious in front of my eyes, not to easily succumb to the excuse of powerlessness.
That was the goal.
seureung-
There were a few things I did for someone.
Even now, the memories remain vividly, and the memories that come up intensely when I recall sometimes.
However, the one thing that was certain was the reason why I held the sword.
Miragen.
The life I held the sword was for you.
Remembering the 35th Miragen, the 111th Robert gripped the sword.
There was a life lived for you.
That much, it was an undeniable fact.
