As Renee was eating, she straightened her back at the sight of Vera approaching from afar.
“Vera?”
“Yes, this is Vera.”
“How was the reconnaissance?”
“There is a Neuer you can see at the beginning, so I took care of it.”
I wasn’t asking that.
Her lips were constantly tingling. It was because there was something he wanted to ask, but Renee could not spit him out.
‘Did you two have a common name?’
Isn’t it too absurd to spit out the question in this situation?
Vera, conscious of his own words, might try to get closer to Friede, even if he said that he had gone through a process that called each other names and caused a change of emotion as he saw the enemies approaching.
It shouldn’t be.
Renee gulped down his saliva in tension, then spat out words.
“okay. You suffered.”
“It’s something we have to do. Did you have any problems with the saint?”
“Yeah, what is it… .”
He treats the fairies as he did, and then ate Marie’s meal.
While Renee’s thoughts continued, Friede, who suddenly approached him, spoke out.
“Well? Were you eating?”
“Ah yes.”
“Oh, Marie, can I ask for mine too?”
“OK.”
Renee felt the energy of Friede sitting next to her, and felt the tension grow stronger.
“Ah, escort. You did a good job too. It was pretty cool.”
rattle. At Friede’s words, Renee’s body shook.
‘Mmm, that’s cool… .’
what happened between the two What kind of hardship and adversity, and the emotion that blooms in it, is why such words come out.
“It’s nonsense.”
“haha. Also, you seem to be very shy. When it was just the two of us, he talked like that.”
“Doc… .”
At the next words, tears appeared on Renee’s face.
The restless heart was expressed outwardly, and the fingertips twitched over and over again.
Renee felt uncomfortable in the conversation that followed, except for herself.
What comes to mind is the thought that I must end this conversation somehow.
Renee handed the soup in his hand to Vera and spoke.
“ah! Vera eats too! You must have starved all day today!”
“… I am okay.”
thud-. Renee felt her heart drop.
There was hesitation in Vera’s words.
‘Wow, of course!’
It was clear what had happened.
As a matter of fact, Vera’s refusal was purely because of the taste of the soup, but René, unaware of this, thought that Vera was obsessed with Friede and did not want the soup he was offering.
“yes… .”
A gloomy look added to Renee’s weeping face.
Vera raised a bewildered look at Renee’s sudden darkening of complexion.
While watching the scene while eating soup, Friede burst into laughter and uttered words.
“It’s really good.”
flinch. Renee responded to Friede’s words.
‘… check?’
I didn’t know that. Creepy Friede, who is aiming for Vera, may be jealous of the relationship between herself and Vera.
… thought Renee.
If we go on like this, we are in a situation of crisis that will create another black history.
It was a situation where if I scratched a little more, Renee might really rush out… .
Fortunately, Renee’s head, which was heating up with Friede’s subsequent words, cooled down.
“When I see you… . It reminds me of a couple who came as guests to the Great Forest about 300 years ago.”
… No, it added heat to the other side.
Renee squeaked and squeaked at the word ‘couple’ that he heard.
His face was hot enough to burn meat on it.
“The drama, the pole, is that so… !”
“Well, they were a really good couple.”
married couple.
what a sweet sound
Rene’s delusional circuit, which was always full of energy, began to draw a detailed picture on the drawing paper in her head with a single word this time.
The setting is his hometown, Remeo. A friendly couple lives in a hut on a small hill. They have one son and one daughter.
At the end of the day, he puts his hearty food on the table, and Vera and the children laugh happily as they eat it.
– I think it’s delicious.
A landscape full of sweetness. As a result, the corners of Renee’s lips were constantly rising.
“It was difficult. When it’s time to leave, my wife’s side is courting me.”
drop-. At Friede’s words, Renee’s laughter stopped.
“… yes?”
“He said he was fed up with that kind of person and wanted to be with him for the rest of his life.”
Renee’s lips twitched. It was because I couldn’t find any words to bring out.
It was such a question that I barely uttered after a while to lick my lips in embarrassment.
“… So what happened?”
“Well, I said I would. Well, there’s no reason to say no, right? A human’s lifetime is only 100 years… . That person was old, so he didn’t live for 30 years.”
Renee’s mouth shut.
Renee didn’t know what to say in this situation.
But in the meantime, his body was moving little by little in the direction of Vera.
Renee added to the tension at the thought that Friede might flirt with Vera as a prank.
*
About three days, Vera’s full-fledged reconnaissance mission.
‘The enemy has decreased.’
Nearly three days later, Vera felt the number of Neuers invading the Great Forest diminished day by day.
His gaze turned to the Neuers who had been cut before.
It looks like it is lying on its back with something in its body blown away. Vera’s eyes narrowed as he watched it.
‘What do you mean… .’
The Neuers didn’t attack as aggressively as they did when they first faced it.
… No, he didn’t seem to have any intention of killing himself even as he rushed in.
Like.
‘… Like a man coming to die.’
As if rushing to commit suicide, so did Neuers.
I can’t understand English at all. Vera looked at the corpse with a hardened face, then moved his gaze to Friede.
“Well? Why?”
A face as usual with a bright smile and meeting gazes.
“The way these guys fight is suspicious.”
“Well, I feel it. They seem to be preparing for something big.”
Friede’s gaze turned to the outside of the great forest.
Vera looked at Friede looking into the distance, frowned and put the sword in.
“Go back.”
“Um, I see.”
Bark-. The leaves were crushed and there was a sound.
Vera still doubted Friede’s intentions.
*
Dark cave, in front of bonfire.
Inyoung, with her gray hair hanging out, stared blankly at the fire.
“stripe.”
His head lifted slightly at the sound of the voice, and his dark pupil was revealed through his hair.
In-yeong, who was called the chief, looked blankly at the person who called her, then nodded her head and spoke.
“Yeah, the time has come.”
The time has come to see the end of a long, long plan.
The chief picked up the carving knife he was holding in his hand and began to cut on his chest.
For the dreams that will come true now, and for the comrades who have been sacrificed in the meantime, I began to engrave their names one by one in my heart.
puffy-.
The skin was crushed and an unpleasant sound came out.
bitter pain. dripping blood.
The chief sniffed the fishy scent and made fun of his hands.
Arya, Menson, Lira, Poro, Heil, Benen, Fresia, Ailee… .
squiggly line. Names engraved in red on top.
The commander gritted his teeth at the pain that was transmitted and engraved his name all over his body, and finally engraved his name at the end.
gillie.
The name that will achieve the greatest freedom. The name of the Liberator to be written down forever.
Gilly put that weight on her name, put a period on it, and looked up to the ceiling.
The part of the exposed ear was cut out.

Neuer stopped the invasion.
Already on the second day, Vera turned over the entrance to the great forest to find Neuer, but all he saw was dried up vegetation.
Vera, who returned after a failure, continued his thoughts while walking along the forest path with Renee.
‘Suspicious.’
honestly won.
Neuer’s behavior, which had changed little by little since he left reconnaissance, is also the reason why he stopped attacking here.
I don’t know for what reason, but it was clear that there was a purpose in it.
Vera had a gut feeling.
Danger will come soon.
What’s more here is the act of throwing yourself at risk.
His gaze turned to Renee.
‘You must withdraw.’
I had to evacuate her to a safe place.
There was nothing more could be done here. Adrin’s death could not be prevented, and if Neuer’s offensive starts again, it will be a different type of attack than before.
Vera finished his thoughts and opened his mouth.
“Lady.”
“Ah yes?”
“I think it would be better to withdraw slowly.”
drop-. Renee stopped walking. Vera’s steps also stopped.
Renee tilted her head at the words she heard and said so. The face is a little shy smile.
“Oh, did I walk too long?”
Was it because there was only the two of us after a while, so I was so engrossed? To the question posed with that thought in mind, Vera added a slightly longer explanation.
“I was talking about withdrawing from the Great Forest. Something doesn’t look right. Perhaps something will happen sooner or later, but I think it would be better to step down now, even for safety reasons.”
Renee was taken aback by Vera’s words and continued.
“that… You haven’t cured Adrin-sama yet, have you? And if things get worse, shouldn’t we just stay and help?”
“Aidrin-sama’s treatment has no hope. Plus, leaving anything for help is risky.”
The answer returned was the same.
say it’s dangerous. Obviously, you are saying that you are in danger.
Am I that bad of myself?
Renee had an uproar that came up, and he tightened his grip on the hand and made a firm expression.
“… If you’re doing it because of me, that’s fine.”
The words that came out were a little muffled tone. There is still work to be done, but I have only managed to heal the wounded, so does it make sense to step back like this?
Vera licked his lips at Renee’s refusal to contemplate.
have to convince With that thought in mind, Vera decided to confide in Renee of the doubts he had been harboring all along.
“Lady… . It’s not just a risk. We are seeing something suspicious internally.”
“Internally?”
“Fried. He wins.”
A sudden reference to Friede.
Renee wrinkled his expression into a strange shape at those words.
“Why Frieden-nim?”
“I learned something while scouting with Friede the past few days. Friede does not stop Neuer.”
For Vera, it was the conclusion that he assembled from the clues he had gathered.
From the first day we met, from the time we stopped looking for Neuer’s corpse and moved naturally, some insensitive behaviors that have been seen in the great forest since then. In addition, to the appearance of not thinking at all about moving towards Neuer’s base.
No matter how you look at it, don’t you doubt it?
Vera clearly remembered that Friede always looked in one direction after dealing with Neuer.
“Friede certainly knows where Neuer is based. You know, but you don’t do anything. There is a possibility of internal pain. When the invasion begins again, Friede may join Neuer. If so, it may be difficult for me to protect St.
There was something he realized late because his eyes were blinded by the future of his past life he knew.
All Vera knew was that Friede was alive.
If Friede had had an affair with Neuer in the first place.
If the reason he was able to survive in his last life wasn’t Renee, but Adrin’s essence.
If Renee of the past life had not been able to heal Aedrin and withdrew early.
If you exclude the memories of your past life as much as possible and examine only what you see, these are the assumptions that you can definitely see.
If you think about it this way, doesn’t the whole process fit together tightly?
Vera waited for Renee’s answer.
Please wait for Renee to understand.
At the end, Renee gave the answer.
“… Is that the end?”
It was a rebuttal.
“… Yes?”
“I asked if that was the end of my doubts, the reason I said I should withdraw now.”
Vera lifted his embarrassment.
“Lady… .”
“Vera.”
hardened fish. A face that is sagging somewhere.
What lay on Renee’s face was a complete ‘sadness’.
Vera did not understand.
If you look at it logically, you must be right, but why is Renee not convinced?
Vera didn’t know what to do with the emotions that came to him, and he just bowed his head and answered.
“… Yes.”
“I don’t think so. That’s how you judge it.”
What came back was a definite form of denial.
