Chapter 140 – Bonfire
The body, which was originally supposed to be intact, is intact with no scars.
Is it because you got Durandal?
However, I was so tired that I fell asleep right after I got out of the erosion, as if I fainted.
But I guess I grew up thanks to Siwoo Han’s ordeal, but when I woke up after a short nap, my condition recovered.
Give me Durandal, and make me grow. Siwoo is really generous!
Thanks Siwoo!
“Okay… !”
As I woke up and stretched out, I saw everyone sleeping in a simple tent that someone had brought.
Since I passed out as soon as I woke up, it seems that I decided to take a break and move on.
Looking around, everyone is soundly asleep.
“Well… Everyone must have gone through all the hardships.”
Everyone was seriously injured. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured or something was cut off.
To be honest, I thought someone might have been killed or badly injured, and I think everyone else did too.
Winning like this is a huge achievement. Although it’s hard to say it’s a proper victory since he missed the bandaged guy….
The erosion, which was the most troublesome, seems to have been completed somehow, and as a result, no one died and everyone is safe.
‘That’s it. What.’
I sighed, stretched my arms outstretched, and looked closely at each person’s face once again.
To be honest, except for Dina, seniors, and Kka-mi, I wasn’t very friendly….
Is it because they became comrades who survived together on the same battlefield? It felt so close and comfortable as one.
But….
‘Why isn’t Dina here?’
For a moment, her head was spinning and I thought maybe she was dead, but when I calmed down and thought about it again, it was none other than Dina who hugged me as I had just woken up yesterday.
Then, unless I’m wrong, there shouldn’t be a problem with Dina’s life and death, then….
You returned to the academy first because you had an urgent business? No, this won’t be either. If so, she would have taken Kami with her, but she is sleeping soundly on my stomach right now.
Then all that remains is… Do you want to stay awake?
Well, no matter how keen their senses are, there’s no way they can all fall asleep together in an unfamiliar place.
Probably they are keeping vigil one by one. Now, it’s Dina’s turn.
‘Then I’m going to stay outside.’
Concentrating on the [Sixth sense] And amplifying the senses, I can definitely feel the sound of firewood burning outside the tent and a small movement.
‘… Shall we go out for a while?’
I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep anyway. Because I just want to get some fresh air.
She carefully lifted Kakami, who was sleeping on the boat, and put it on top of Park Se-rin’s face, and got out of the tent.
Then, as expected, Dina is seen sitting on a rock in front of the campfire and staring blankly at the sparks.
What the hell was he thinking so hard about, I didn’t notice even after I came out of the tent.
Just like that, the mischief kicked in, and I thought I wanted to surprise him.
Feels like it could be easily done now!
Possessing the main character in an espionage movie I once saw, I obliterate as much as possible and stealthily approach.
If it were me, it would have been an impossible skill, but… Is it really a fantasy world?
It was possible to move through the soil with its feet without even making a bright sound.
Thanks to that, I was able to go right behind Dina.
Cook her flanks as it is! He poked and whispered her name into her ear.
“Dina.”
“… Huh?!”
Dinah, who stabbed her side with her finger, is startled and jumps up from her sitting position, holding her hand in her ear as I whisper to her and looking at me with a startled face.
How surprised she was, her eyes were round and it was cute as if she were looking at a surprised rabbit.
“Are you surprised?”
“… Yes. Very much.”
She smiled and asked, and Dina let out a small sigh and reluctantly nodded her head.
Then she pouted her lips and looked at me dissatisfiedly.
The appearance that seemed to appeal that it was pouting was lovely as if it was pouting again.
“Can I sit next to you?”
“Yes.”
Dinah gave her seat, stepping right next to her.
As she slumped down on the seat she had just given her, her arm brushed lightly, and she could feel Dina’s surprised shoulders tremble.
‘… It’s warm.’
Her ass was warm, probably because it was the seat where Dina had been sitting just before. Half only.
Dinah sat on a rock untouched by her warmth. The rest of her buttocks had to sit on a cool rock.
“… ….”
“… ….”
It seems like we’ve gotten pretty close in the meantime, but for some reason, when I’m with Dina, it just gets so awkward.
Feeling like you need to say something, but don’t know what to say.
Even when Dina misunderstood that she was a man, she was uncomfortable… After learning that she was a woman, she became conscious of a different meaning, making it even more difficult for her to talk to her.
‘Still, I came out and said I would sit next to you.’
I guess I should have said it first.
“… Excuse me. Dina.”
“… Siu.”
But she was Dina and she was thinking the same thing as me, she said. At the same time she looked at each other and called her name and her eyes met.
Dina said first, blushing slightly and turning her head away, and I belatedly turned her head towards her campfire.
There was still silence for a moment, and she struggled to open her mouth again.
“You first….”
“Siwoo said first….”
Once again, the words overlap.
There, another subtle, tickling feeling and awkwardness wells up, and her face heats up.
What is it that makes my heart pound so hard?
‘… So who should speak first?’
If you keep waiting like this, Dina will tell you first. But what if Dina is waiting with the same thoughts as me?
In the end, if Dina spoke first, wouldn’t she think I’m a stuffy bastard?
She suddenly opened her mouth with such concern.
“You tell me first….”
“Yes….”
Tell me first.
Dinah nodded her head and rolled the ends of her hair around her fingers and she cast her gaze slightly in this direction.
“Rice, nothing special…. It’s just that everyone finished safely… That’s what I was trying to say.”
“… I know. I’m glad.”
I was going to talk about that too… What am I supposed to say when this happens? Can I just say that I was going to say that too.
I was frantically thinking about what to say in my head, and suddenly it felt so boring that I was thinking like this.
So I decided to just say something casual.
“You weren’t hurt anywhere, were you?”
“Ah… It looks like a small scratch. Are you okay.”
Thank you for your concern… I looked at Dina, who was muttering with her head down, for a moment, when she asked me too.
“By the way, what happened to Siwoo?”
“Huh? What?”
“Everything! How did you come out of that erosion all by yourself? Everyone said it would be difficult even with Miss Stia and Sally’s help! Besides, you said it was full of scars, so why is it so fine again?”
“Uh… hmm. I don’t know either.”
Overcoming the erosion is because he obtained Durandal through the ordeal with Siwoo Han.
Besides, it seems that others still underestimate the power of Stia and Sally, but they could have easily removed my erosion.
Yes. It was only that much erosion, so Durandal was able to overcome it.
But… I really didn’t know anything about healing wounds.
Clearly, the last state of my body right before being eroded was a serious injury that would not be strange even if I had already died.
Even if it had survived the erosion, it was a wound that should have vomited blood and died immediately.
However, far from spurting blood, I woke up in a completely healed state with no scratches.
At least, the leading hypothesis is that [Erosion], Which tried to take over my body, forcibly maintained my life, and in the meantime, [Regeneration] Restored my body….
[Replay] Is not all-round. Listening to the time I was knocked down by erosion, it wouldn’t be strange to say that I was still coughing up blood, let alone fully healed.
So, naturally, this possibility becomes less reliable. But that doesn’t mean there are other plausible hypotheses….
‘Miracle… It’s hard to even think of it.’
The only possibility is Han Si-woo.
Did you pass the ordeal and let me live?
‘So if you didn’t pass the ordeal, did you just let it die? No… I don’t think I could have.’
From Siwoo Han’s memories, I said I was the last hope.
The goddess no longer has the power to turn back time, and all the worlds that others possessed in the bodies of Stia and Dina have been horribly defeated.
Really, really, because I said it was my last hope and chance.
But honestly, I’m not confident.
I’m still hard to say that I’m strong… Not even the demon king, but the evil god beyond that.
Even with the help of Stia and Dina, it would be close to impossible.
In fact, the real Han Si-woo failed countless times with them and returned.
‘Can I really do it?’
Looking to the side of her, I saw Dinah looking at me with a sullen expression.
… Okay. I have to go through it at least once until the end.
In fact, I saw the evil god’s face, which is no different from the source of my possession. If you get a chance, just give it a shot and come back.
Only then will we be able to protect everyone and Dina.
