137 – We defeated the demon king and disbanded without any conflict.
A head full of dark clouds and clear eyes. My body was light enough to fly, and I could feel the fine hairs on my skin wafting in the wind. I felt like I could sense the direction and speed of the wind.
After the breakup, as I started to draw on my face, the shadow that had followed me all along seemed to disappear.
I felt refreshed as if I had just woken up. It seemed that he came to his senses after a long and long swim.
As if waking up from a dream, I shook my head left and right to focus on the slightly blurry ones, and then I looked at them properly one by one.
It was definitely different from the time when I had bad feelings. All the emotions I have, as well as the way they look at me.
lane. A little different. The length of the back hair that was tied together seemed to be slightly longer, and the slightly lowered eyes seemed to be able to contain the emotions much more properly than before.
rian. Ryan also had a little longer hair. Like the silver hair, the silver eyes tinged with blue shook anxiously and were looking at me.
Solar. Solar was a little relieved because it was the same as before. The white robe was full of dirt and dirty. I said I was fine, but I was still shaking a little, not sure about my actions.
Ryan closed his mouth and came closer to me. He came to me slowly, very slowly, as if he was trying to say something first. I didn’t touch or carelessly. would be anxious
I remember everything I did before.
I’m sorry. Saying harsh words to those who devoted themselves to me.
Words are intangible knives. Even though they didn’t say anything, they must have felt as if their heart had been ripped out for my reaction, even though they trusted me.
“Thank you, Solar.”
I politely thanked you. I’ve expressed my gratitude a lot in the meantime, but trying to say ‘thank you’ with a clear mind felt like my body was twisted somewhere.
“Thanks to you, I think I’ve cleared my head. I’m sorry I’ve only shown my ugly side..”
I wanted to say more, but couldn’t come up with the right words. How should I thank them for their dedication to me? It seemed that no matter what modifier I put on it, it wouldn’t be enough.
right. Thinking about it again, I could realize that they lived for me, just like Solar said. And I got stuck on it alone and only hurt them. If it were other people, it was no wonder that they all disappeared to the extent that they had no affection.
How should we repay them for their noble deeds? Do you want something in return? No, even if I don’t want anything in return, I will.
I don’t think it’s right to go over without doing anything or think ‘I’m always grateful’ to my colleagues who are suffering from being entangled in the past and to the benefactors who saved one person. You must devote your life to serving.
..So what should I do?
First of all, I decided to think about this question slowly and surely.
“Lian.”
“Yes Yes..”
“I’m sorry. Thank you. Good job.”
He gave Ryan a hug and said. I thought about stroking my hair, but I’m still not sure how they feel about me. You’ve seen a lot of bad things in the past, so you’d better refrain from doing anything more than this.
I felt the softness of the woman’s body along with the body that fit in the bosom. I didn’t feel anything like self-destruction or self-loathing. How long has it been since I faced them without a single dark emotion?
I didn’t hold it for long. Even though it was a short moment, I could feel Lian’s body hardening. It’s a bit bittersweet, but maybe this is our current relationship. You can’t say ‘a family-like relationship’ like before.
“Solar.”
“Yeah. I’ve prepared everything mentally.”
“What kind of mental preparation? Anyway, thank you. I owe a lot in many ways. Really, I received a lot of help from you.”
He held out his hand and asked for a handshake. Even if you refuse to hug, it’s okay to shake hands like this.
The vision that has become clear after removing the bandages captures their expressions.
Solar is looking at my outstretched hand with a bitter expression. Lian stiffened with her cheeks dyed red and her mouth open. Looking at it, Lane thought deeply about something.
All of them foreshadowed future actions. It was a reaction so certain that it was strange to not know.
Can I really do it? Aren’t you hated? With the same thought, he withdrew his outstretched hand. Solar, a little taken aback by that action, looks at me with the eyes of a child who has done something wrong.
In order to prevent Solar from making such an expression, I hugged her body, which is much smaller than mine, and patted her on the shoulder once. It wouldn’t be possible with my own strength, but I was straining in case it would crumble.
“I’m glad you’re my teammate.”
It’s a short thank you, but I did my best to convey what I felt and relaxed. After Solar let go of looking at me with dumbfounded eyes, she called Rain.
“lane.”
At my words, Lane stared at me. Eyes like a blue lake. It was the eye I really liked, the one I really wanted to avoid. But now, when I looked straight into those eyes, there was no trembling or anything.
His gaze was directed to her mouth. Glossy lips that seem to shine even without applying anything.
It was only then that I remembered the feeling of the kiss I had with Lane when it wasn’t normal.
“That… thank you.”
“No. What?”
“..That’s right, Lane. You and Ron together..”
“I confessed again and then kissed you.”
After Rain cut off Solar’s words, he calmly made a shocking confession.
At that confession, Solar, who had been absent-minded until just now, turned her head away as if to eat me. Lian, who was next to him, was holding back his tears and making an expression of astonishment.
“Kee… that’s what a kiss sounds like?”
“…I’m sorry, Lian, but how old are you this year?”
Lian tilted his head at my question and spread the index and middle fingers of both hands. twenty two. I’m at an age where I can’t help but not know about sticky kisses.
“Really?”
Solar looked at me and asked.
It’s real. The famous First Champion, Rain Guardon, kissed me in Eormigin surrounded by a huge crowd. I also confessed.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Now I couldn’t turn my back while pretending not to know. I’m not sure since when, but Lane thought of me as a man and liked me. And now, I had to answer that heart.
“Yes. It’s true.”
“..theory.”
Before I could answer the voice calling me gloomily, Solar, the owner of that subdued voice, took the lead first.
“Pay back the debt you said then, now.”
It was a little sudden, but there was nothing I couldn’t hear.
“Sure. What do you want?”
“Kiss me too. Deeper than you did to him.”
“..thick?”
Lian tilted her head and spoke to herself. yes. I can’t tell you from my side, so it’s better to understand and recognize yourself gradually.
I’m sorry, but now I care more about what Solar said. I want you to kiss me So much so that anyone who hears it will misunderstand.
“You speak right now? Because you are so ignorant of the favors that come to you…”
seemed to know
I still have thoughts of, but without knowing it, I make such a guess. And as if to prove that the guess was not wrong, as time passed little by little, Solar’s face began to heat up red like the color of her own hair.
“I… I’m… I’m I’m I’m…”
You don’t have to say more. With the words, he placed his index finger on Solar’s mouth. I imagined…
Anyway, Sola’s words continued to stretch to the point where I was imagining something like that. The way he kept repeating the word ‘I’, probably because his pride didn’t allow it.
“I like you…”
It barely got three letters that weren’t the word ‘me’, but this time it stopped working at ‘good’. Still, that was enough. I was able to be sure.
I can’t believe it, but no one will believe it.
I’ve never had a crush on someone else’s favor. I was busy living somehow, so I put off other people’s feelings as a later priority. That’s why you don’t know how to respond to favors from the opposite sex.
He expressed his emotions so recklessly that even I, who did not know the details, could understand. Inferring that she had these feelings from the time her attitude towards me changed, I could conclude that she had suffered a lot for several years.
You have to make a choice. But can I only choose one? If you choose Rain, Solar will be abandoned, and if you choose Solar, Rain will be abandoned. You can’t erase the heartache that comes from being rejected if you say ‘but we’re friends’.
It was not difficult to draw conclusions. I just had to be greedy and choose both. There’s no way I’ll listen to them saying that I’ll have both of them from the front, so after being rejected, I can help them from behind. Like the title they used to refer to me, the warrior’s shadow.
Just as he was about to start a negotiation here, Lian intervened.
“I… I… I like it too!”
yes. The feeling of liking makes people dreamy like this. To the extent that the mistake of inadvertently chewing the tongue makes the target even more cute.
uh? Wait… the voice was Lian’s just now? Did I hear you wrong?
“Please don’t pretend you didn’t hear.. I’m really showing courage..”
From the whimpering voice to the somewhat uncertain way of speaking, it all belonged to Lian, whom I knew well.
Don’t panic. Now you can see it. so what? Is it a modified sentence that can only be understood by tearing apart the structure of the sentence one by one and recombining it?
no If you deny reality like this, there is nothing different from before. Let’s think clearly. Ryan also liked me. Yes, in the case of Lian, the reason was clearer than the other two. Because he helped Rian harder than anyone else.
Okay. In the end, the choice and outcome will not change.
“Thank you. So I have something to tell you.”
As soon as I lowered the register to create a serious atmosphere, their expressions changed. Each of them seemed to harbor a sense of anticipation as well as anxiety. I didn’t want to see him tremble with anxiety, so I hurriedly tried to convey the matter.
And the original purpose came to mind. After I finished everything…so when I completely overcame my anxiety and obstacles, I decided to reveal things about myself to people. With him I remembered what I had said in a daze at Eormigin.
I decided to reveal everything on my side.
Since this has happened, how about officially revealing the truth in front of many people and answering their feelings there, rather than in an empty field like this?
He’d be agitated about his work in Eormigin anyway, and he wouldn’t be able to stop it. No.. if you want to do it, you can do it, and if it was in the past, I would have wanted it, but not now.
“Can I be greedy just once?”
The first thing you say in a full mental state is a notice that you will be greedy. If I were in their shoes, I would have looked embarrassed.
As if timed, he nodded at the same time and agreed. Even though they must have been good at acting arbitrarily.
“Can we gather people in front of the academy?
“What are you going to do?”
“To reveal that I traveled with you.”
“..really?”
“really.”
“So you’re saying I don’t have to hide the fact that I went out with you?”
“yes.”
Could this have been more shocking? Forgetting everything about the confession and kiss, they started making plans to reveal these facts.
