112 – Climax (2)
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it at all.
Fran, why on earth is this guy, the main character of the original, blocking my path?
Is it because I don’t pay attention to this guy?
That’s not true. I was clearly aware that Envy could approach Fran, so even though it was annoying, I secretly followed him to the training ground every day.
Of course, I didn’t watch it all day. Because Fran wasn’t the only one I had to watch over. There was bound to be a time when I couldn’t watch Fran.
Anyway, I haven’t found any abnormal signs in Fran so far.
Fran was absorbed in swinging his sword every day, and he was always alone in the corner training ground.
It was like that, it was definitely like that.
This guy is blocking my path as if he is showing off and is glaring at me with an evil look.
I looked into every nook and cranny of Fran’s mental image with my celestial eye.
I was wondering if this guy might have become corrupted at that moment when I wasn’t able to look at him for a while.
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. Fran’s mind was filled with only the brilliant starlight, and he could not sense a single trace of demonic energy.
I just don’t know.
Seeing as he is not corrupted, it seems that normal thinking is possible.
From what I see here, it seems like there is some connection with Envy.
Why is this guy joining hands with Envy and blocking my path?
So I asked Fran.
Why are you, the main character of the original, blocking my path?
Why are you, a candidate for a hero, helping Envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins?
Then, Fran’s firm lips slowly begin to open.
“It’s to stop you.”
“What nonsense?”
I reflexively frowned at the absurd answer.
Why are you blocking me?
“I received a request from a woman who wanted to meet and talk for a moment with someone she desperately misses. “She wants me to make some time for her.”
“···.”
Fran’s determined tone leaves me speechless.
“I heard. That you are not happy about that meeting and want to sabotage it. That’s why I blocked you. “Because you have a different definition than me.”
As I continue to listen to what follows, I begin to vaguely understand why the situation has come to this.
This guy has met Envy before. Maybe that was when I was looking at others.
And somehow, this guy who met her Envy was persuaded by her. Or brainwashed.
“···Hey.”
Is it because the situation has been figured out? A naturally calm voice comes out.
“Do you know who that woman is and are you spouting such bullsh*t?”
I was seriously curious. In fact, it’s a problem even if you know, and a problem if you don’t know.
If he was doing this knowingly, he needed to seriously think about his concept of good and evil, and if he was really doing this without knowing anything, he needed to seriously think about his intelligence.
“···I know.”
I don’t know if it’s fortunate, but Fran answered my question by saying that she wasn’t a pushover.
“The person who knows that… And the person who is clearly the next candidate… Ha…!”
When I saw that, I couldn’t hold back my frustration, muttered, and eventually had to sigh.
“Are you blocking my path? Do you know what you are doing? “Do you know what’s going on at the academy over there?”
“···.”
“Ha… That’s it, get out of the way, you idiot. “Because I’m busy.”
I grabbed my pounding head and tried to ignore Fran, who was extremely frustrated.
“···I know.”
A small voice comes to me.
“I can do this because I know better than you.”
Fran pulled out his sword and pointed it at me, and I asked him back with a straight face.
“You know better…? Hey, do you also know that someone innocent could die?”
“That won’t happen. Never.”
“How can you guarantee that?”
“I’ll tell you about that later.”
“What?”
“No matter what, my will is firm. I will stop you to give Celetina time. So, Camel, if you want to enforce your will, pull out your sword first. “I will keep my will.”
“Ha! “Have you taken any medicine?”
I couldn’t help but sigh, feeling like I was about to lose my mind, and had no choice but to pull out my sword.
“Wait a minute.”
Then, I noticed a subtle change in Fran’s face and asked Fran with a puzzled expression.
“···Did you really eat it?”
“···.”
For some reason, the momentum was unusual.
Looking closely, I realized that the reason was because of the elixirs this bastard had taken.
Looking around, I can finally see it. There are empty flasks scattered across the street.
From Noble mtl dot com
Dragon’s blood water, power elixir, fairy tears…
I ate a lot.
I suddenly became curious. Where did this guy get these precious elixirs?
The answer to the question was answered right away.
“···You should get some beating.”
This guy even took a bribe from Envy. After coming to that conclusion, I immediately kicked my foot.
To knock the guy on the head with the back of the sword and then knock him out.
-Boo!
“We’ll have to compete to find out who will be right.”
I wonder if there really was such a thing as a weakling? Surprisingly, Fran quickly ducked and dodged my attack, and while saying that, he swung his sword at me.
-aaah!
‘This bastard?’
I was quite embarrassed as I tilted my head to avoid the sword strike that went from the bottom right to the top left.
Although it was only a single sword strike, it was faster and sharper than expected. I, who had been watching Fran grow from afar, was perplexed.
“I won’t ask.”
Fran asked me as he lowered the sword he had raised with a fluid movement.
“Do you think you are good?”
What kind of random question is this?
Actually, it was a question not worth answering, but it was also a question with a predetermined answer, so I answered while dodging the sword that was pointed at my head.
“Uh.”
-Chang!
This time, I swung my sword lightly, and Fran touched my sword with his sword. Then, its body begins to move back little by little.
When I saw that, I had to tilt my head.
No matter how much medicine you take. This guy resists my sword this much?
“···I think about it all the time.”
In the meantime, Fran started muttering something, and I looked at Fran with questioning eyes and swung my sword more vigorously.
-Chang!
The guy’s body is pushed back a little further than before. This too is unexpected. I thought at least this would put me behind.
“You are so arrogant. “You only believe in yourself and think that you are always right.”
After muttering that, Fran changed his stance and swung his sword continuously.
Clear connection leading to the bottom left, middle, and top right.
-Chang! Visor! Visor!
I cut them all off with my sword and asked Fran seriously.
“Why do you think that?”
“Because you think only your justice is right.”
“I’m really sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
-Chang! Visor! Visor!
With swords clashing with swords, sparks flying, and starlight embroidering the air.
When I answered with a pitiful look, Fran glared at me as if she were going to kill me and swung her sword even harder.
While dodging the sword, I had a question and asked Fran seriously.
“Let me ask you something. “When on earth did I say that only my justice is right?”
Then, he turned his body and kicked Fran’s side with his right foot.
-Kwasik!
“···Ugh!”
I put a lot of effort into it. Still, I was briefly surprised to see Fran not falling down, then swung my sword again and continued speaking.
“It is true that I am arrogant. I never thought I was wrong. But that doesn’t mean I’ve ever shown off to anyone. But why do you think that?”
-Chang!
Fran, who once again touched my sword with his own, answered with his eyes wide open.
“Have you been ignoring other people’s pain?”
“I was standing by?”
“That’s the sage in there! Didn’t you ignore that friend’s pain in order to lure the Seven Deadly Sins Greed! “Even though there were plenty of ways for that friend to not get sick…!”
“···.”
How does this guy know that I killed Grid? I was left speechless because I had doubts and was momentarily dazed by the thought.
Actually, it is not completely wrong. Fran, although there is an excuse that it was done to prevent this guy’s harem, it is an undeniable fact that it was a wrong action.
Did he think that my agitated appearance was a gap?
Without missing that moment, Fran changed his offensive stance and began swinging his sword with all his might. Fill the sword with starlight.
-Boom! Bang! Bang!
Starlight clashes with starlight, and a loud explosion explodes between swords.
I regret every time the swords collide.
Every time the sword sparks, a lot of thoughts come to mind.
How much did you share with Fran?
After gathering my thoughts for that split second, I spoke quietly.
“That’s right. “I was wrong back then.”
“Okay. “You’re so arrogant… What?”
“I thought I was wrong back then.”
“···.”
“But that doesn’t mean…”
Then he swung his sword vigorously. This time, it contained so much power that Fran couldn’t possibly block it.
-Scream!
When I saw Fran’s sword split like a sheet of paper, I immediately grabbed Fran by the collar and threw him to the floor.
-Kwasik!
“Keuheuk…!”
“That doesn’t mean the choice you made right now is right.”
I grabbed Fran’s wrist, who was gasping for breath as she fell to the floor, and looked at the engraved pattern and said,
“Is this it? “The reason you said you knew better than me.”
“···.”
“A contract with Libra, tell me. Envy, what she bet on the scales and what she decided to get.”
“···I risked my life. “To gain my trust.”
“You risked your life? Tell me in detail. “Because it’s an important story.”
I didn’t expect this. Envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, risked his life on the balance.
“Celetina swore to me. Until the encounter with her former love is over, no one will touch her. In that case, she said she would give her life to Libra.”
“Then… after that encounter?”
“Of course I’ll go back after it’s over…”
“Yes, of course I will go back. “Kill everyone who needs to be killed!”
“···.”
When I spoke, Fran widened his eyes and made an idiot-like expression, as if he had realized something.
“···I really have a lot to say, right? But let’s talk later.”
Hardly resisting the urge to punch his face, I passed Fran and started walking into the cave.
“Ha…”
Then, I heard a faint sound and turned my head back for a moment.
“Hey, Fran.”
“···.”
Fran did not look at me, but kept his head down and remained silent.
For some reason, the floor appears to be a little damp, and Fran’s sturdy body is seen trembling slightly.
“It’s a bit odd to say something like this in this situation…”
“···.”
“I have always thought of you as a warrior. “I also think it’s just.”
“···?”
As I muttered hesitantly, Fran raised his head and looked at me with reddened eyes.
“I’m a special case, right… You’re doing well enough. And… Oh, you damn… No. Hey, let’s talk later.”
I felt like it was necessary, so I forced it out. I felt like my hands and feet would shrivel up and disappear if I let out any more words, so I stopped talking and turned around again.
Baby, why are you crying all of a sudden because it hurts my heart?
