“?!”
As soon as they saw me, their eyes widened, could I be anything to her… On the one hand, longing, on the other hand, was filled with worry and fear.
“Oh oh…!”
A painful look that wants to be astonished
“Five…!!”
Then he dropped his words and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t calm himself down, so it didn’t seem to come out of his mouth.
“brother?!”
Suddenly, he barely shouts one word, as if he knows me, he uses the word “oppa” and shows a look of bewilderment.
do you know me..?
But, at least in my memory, there has never been a girl who looked so small, so cute, and so pitiful.
Whoa!
Still, when she recognizes me, she leads her body desperately exhausted and gets up. Unlike the state that she looks so weak that she is about to collapse at any moment, the power to hold my wrist was so strong.
“Who are you…? Do you know me?”
She didn’t answer my words, but the earnestness that permeated into her eyes seemed to tell what kind of emotion she was holding now.
“Oppa… I don’t have time… I’ll explain it to you later… So…”
As he spit out lines that sounded like a scene from a play, he gently opened his clenched hand, and a new white light began to ooze out from within.
“Please take this quickly… It’s very important…”
It floated in the palm of her hand as if unaffected by gravity, and was not a specific object, but rather a material that was difficult to identify.
In the first place, was it a matter of material? It seemed like something abstract or something that was not of this world.
“What the hell is this? And why are you giving it to me?!”
I ask in a bit of a hurry, but the girl who delivered this white substance to me is as if she is reaching her limit in peace by doing her job.
“Please… um… Papa…”
The girl full of doubts who passed out immediately, what did she say last time… I couldn’t hear her because she mumbled softly.
“Little kid? Little?! Calm down!”
The wounds engraved all over the body were so terrifying that I thought that I might have died in this kind of situation.
“Ugh… shhhhh…”
Fortunately, he was in a hidden state, either fainting from exhaustion or simply falling asleep.
“hang on…”
I grab her and lift her up.
“I don’t know what it is, but I’ll take you to the hospital…”
Contrary to its slender appearance, it feels quite heavy due to the nature of the race.
“……”
Who the hell is this girl…
And what happened…
◆◆◆
a few hours ago
“……..”
It was around the time when the situation was settled and the gods gathered at the academy began to return to their respective places.
“Goddess Morione, you did a great job. I heard that your servant is deeply involved this time, but you have an excellent servant.”
Since the gods are usually in their own temples, it is rare to actually meet each other, so this is an opportunity to exchange greetings and status with each other.
“Thank you, thank you for participating in this event.”
The goddess of fate is particularly delighted with the news that her knight has made an outstanding performance, and at the same time is proud and at the same time a unique emotion.
“Then goodbye, if fate strikes again, let’s meet again.”
Morione, the god who left after the conversation, was also preparing to return to the temple where he would be in the huge tent left alone.
“Yes..?”
But suddenly Morio felt something and frowned…
“Ugh!!”
In the meantime, he suddenly grinds his teeth with a look distorted by hatred, and he hastily begins to draw transfer magic.
“Move to where I am… Teleport!”
A vast green light envelopes her body and soon begins to obscure her vision.
“At some point…!”
It took only a short amount of time for her to arrive at the place she was supposed to protect, and the place that opened up to the goddess Morione in the clear vision of the light was her temple.
“Unbelievable… I’m sure anyone but me…”
He hastened his steps and climbed many stairs.
“It hit the two of you… When the hell did you get your hands on it?!”
Morione climbed up to the altar while muttering words that had no meaning, and immediately took out the box that was carefully locked by the lock and unlocked the firmly locked door.
“How the hell?!”
The door to the safe opened at the same time he spoke, and it was an empty safe with nothing inside.
“no…”
After confirming the reality, he muttered a little…
“Really not!!”
Immediately, he shouts with a cracked voice as if in rage, and screams with a twisted face that he has never seen in the past eons.
“Herald’s memory is gone… Someone must have stolen it!”
Although he is greatly despairing at the fact that it is not an empty safe from the beginning or that he has lost his own, he also dedicates his infinite hatred to the unknown criminal who has done this.
“Who the hell… Huh?”
While he was furious for a long time, he felt something suspicious, carefully observing the spot where the marble was, which gave off a pure white light, and then he started to caress the floor of the safe with his finger as if sweeping away a dusty place.
“This is… the energy of darkness…”
After a not-so-long investigation, Morione sensed something and was furious as she put blood on her forehead.
“A byproduct of time…”
He opens his eyes with determination as he mumbles the person who he usually did not like, and who nevertheless stayed by his side.
◆◆◆
“The trauma is severe and it looks like part of the ribs are broken, but fortunately it’s not life threatening. Don’t worry, it’s not too difficult to treat.”
Carrying the unknown black girl on her back, she ran to the hospital where Marika was staying.
“thank you.”
I was immediately taken to the emergency room for treatment… Fortunately, there seemed to be no life-threatening injuries.
“after….”
At the doctor’s diagnosis, I took a deep breath and wiped my chest.
“……”
It is a strange substance whose size changes depending on what it is intended to be stored in, but if it is taken out in a wide area, it is inflated up to the size of a well that is slightly smaller than a person’s face.
The size of a reasonably large crystal ball for a fortune teller.
What is this jade orb given to me by a girl who is worshiped as a dragon…
Ting ting!
I tried everything that came to my mind to figure out the identity of the marble, such as tapping it lightly and shaking it…
“What the heck… What is this thing that you gave me so desperately?”
I hardly knew..
The more I look at it, the more mysterious the material, and as I said before, it has a strong abstract feel, which makes me question whether I’m looking at reality.
“Harold Wicker… are you right?”
While I was fiddling with beads to wait for the girl being treated, someone talking to me
“I am a member of the Morione Shrine like you.
I couldn’t see the face by flipping the hood over, but I wasn’t particularly wary because it was Morione’s unique mystic attire.
“A Goddess?”
I tilted my head and double-checked that I heard correctly.
“Yeah… He asked me to visit the temple right now… According to what I was told… If you currently have an unknown white marble, bring it with you…”
If that’s the case, then the goddess must have called me, then I wouldn’t have time to touch an unidentified object like this.
And speaking of white marbles… Are you referring to the marbles that an unknown girl gave me earlier?
“Okay, let’s go right now.”
How does the Goddess know this… Is something happening? There were many complicated thoughts, but nothing came to my mind when I thought about it.
It might be faster to go to someone who may not know the situation and hear their story…
“Follow me.”
It seems that the black girl still needs some time to get treatment and come to her senses, so I decided to follow the believer.
◆◆◆
1 hour before
“Huh… huh… huh…”
A girl crosses a long, narrow, dark alley to avoid people’s eyes
“Yeah?!”
However, even in a steep sprint, for a short time, a large wound is engraved on the back by the magic that flies in from behind.
“Cheuk! Ugh!”
The black-horned girl quickly collapsed and rolled over the floor several times.
“Because it’s outside the temple, I can’t use my original power… But I didn’t want to kill it…”
A radiant goddess who appears in the direction the magic has flown in.
“A by-product of time… If any of your possessions have a glowing orb, give it to them right now…”
The goddess who presides over fate glares at her with her dark eyes and reveals a hostility that is so bloody that she will crush her to death.
“ね…”
Somehow… They crawled on the floor to keep the distance even a little, and made eye contact with the goddess to keep their backs hidden.
“What are you talking about.. I’m nothing—”
Kwajik!
“…..!”
The goddess who slashes her chest hard as if she won’t even give her time to make an excuse…
“Aww?!”
The pain is too much for a young child to bear
“Ugh!”
But the girl had to put up with it to put an end to the work started by her.
“Put off the bullsh*t… I don’t know, you know? Don’t be silly and get over Harold’s memories…”
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
“Ugh… aa!!”
As if cruelly tortured, the young girl is cruelly punished by giving stronger power to the feet that are still strongly oppressed.
“Never… no…”
Kwajik!
“…!!”
The overwhelming power that grew stronger and stronger, no matter how young the dragon race, the limits were clear.
“Ah…!!”
Quang!
In an instant, the flash of light that she fired in an attempt to provoke, and a momentary light to steal her sight, smoke rises even after the light has set.
“……”
The smoke that gradually faded away, the goddess of fate just looked down quietly until everything returned to normal.
“Ahh?!”
But apparently, the girl she had been tightly bound to has disappeared for some reason.
“Shhh… a decent cup head… But you can’t run away from me…”
At the same time, she casts transfer magic and disappears from the alley in an instant.
………….
“Huh… Huh… Huh…”
Miru, a girl who runs while whipping herself in spite of her physical condition that it is pitiful to endure.
“I’ve caused trouble… I have to fix it…”
That night… he was running without sparing himself to correct the fate that had been twisted by him.
“Wait a minute, Dad…”
The speed did not slow down even though the skin, which had not yet stopped hemostasis, spread further.
In his arms, he hid the beads containing Harold’s original memories…
“Please… I don’t know how to use it… But… Only this for Dad…”
He forced his eyes shut and muttered.
“You must not fall for that goddess again…”
