A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard

014. Selene… Use X…

The crack opens, and the figure entering through the crack was a character that Endymion and Hecate were so familiar with. .

His jet-black hair flutters. The black pearl-like eyes were sunken as deep as the abyss. Why does the already pale complexion look whiter? In any case, it seemed indisputable that she was properly upset.

“Wow…”

Hecate only let out her admiration. That’s probably because I really didn’t know that Selene would find this place.

Jerbug-

Stepping on the ground of the temple with one step-

Jerbug-

Another foot steps on the world beyond the rift.

Selene calmly crossed the rift and came over to the other world. It was a matter of an hour.

“I… Endured and endured a lot. I guess I should have endured this much…?”

“Uh… what are you talking about?”

Hecate smiled, hehehe, seemingly bewildered. There was no way she could get through to Selene.

“…….”

“Heh heh… heh… heh.”

She met her eyes with Selene, sweating at Hecate’s reaction.

‘And… He’s glaring at me tremendously.’

As soon as she honestly saw Selene, Hecate tried to figure out how she should escape. Come to think of it, she had something to share with her too.

‘Still, it’s not something to talk about in a three-way meeting.’

As if to back her step in her fear, Hecate hesitated, then secretly snapped her fingers.

Jeojeok- Clink—!!!

“Huh…?”

Endymion had no time to panic. It was because tension pulled him from a crack that had suddenly opened behind him.

“Endymion!”

Selene noticed this and hurriedly threw a spear made of moonlight. Her goal was to close the Great Rift.

Hey Ii-—

A spear that flies at the speed of a comb.

Bang-!

Soon there was a significant shock, shaking the atmosphere. The window shattered like stars in the night sky. What were the results? Selene was able to confirm it only when the light faded.

“…….”

The crack was closed. Only this was as planned. However, Endymion, who should have been there, was nowhere to be seen.

That was the biggest problem.

“…Hecate.”

Winter in the northern tip of the country, which is said to be very cold, will not be as cold as this. Selene called out her enemy’s name in a voice full of frost.

Then Hecate’s cold sweat multiplied.

“Uh… Hey, Selene. Let’s calm down…”

Oh, that’s wrong. Hecate saw the state of her Selene and she intuited that her anger would not be easily relieved.

It was a game where we had to fight again for a while.

Meanwhile, Endymion, who was sucked into the crack opened by Hecate. He was looking at an unfamiliar sky.

“This is… where is it again?”

It’s all purple. It’s not an exaggeration, the sky was purple, and even the ground was purple.

I got sucked into a strange place again.

* * *

Hekete’s other world. Silence blew. It was definitely not a comfortable atmosphere.

Because one of the two sincerely wished for life and death.

Selene opened her mouth in a chilly voice.

“Where did you send it?”

“To a safe place. We have something to talk about.”

“I have nothing to talk about with you.”

It’s been a long time since I gave up my expectations. The expectation that Hecate would give her the answer she wanted.

At that, Hecate looked worried about what to do. However, he looked into Selene’s eyes as if he had caught his eye.

“You… Why did you take him?”

“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I know what you did.”

It meant that he was aware of the process. This was something Selene had guessed, but she frowned and showed her contempt.

“A bad b*tch.”

“It’s too bad… Well, but that’s not what’s important right now. So why? The reason why you hired a man named Endymion to be your tower.”

“…….”

Selene was silent. She was honest, until just before she came here, she was determined to kill Hecate somehow.

However, she couldn’t help but be hesitant when she received an unexpected question.

“That… You know what to do.”

Selene unknowingly agreed to the conversation. Only then, Hecate, who was slightly relieved, responded to her words naturally without expressing his feelings.

Because now is important.

“Honestly, this is pretty much the first time you’ve done something like that. You did something not like you, Selene.”

“Something not like me…?”

I was conscious. But she didn’t bother to bring it out. I didn’t try to attach much meaning to it.

Because she didn’t even know her own feelings. Because she didn’t want to force that feeling out and confirm it.

“I…”

This is a fact she has been ignoring. Selene still contrived plausible excuses to avoid her answer, to divert her eyes from the facts.

However, at that moment I realized.

‘Why am I calling this an excuse?’

Why are you trying to make excuses? Why do you want to hide your heart so much? So what do you get?

“Selene?”

“…….”

Reason and emotion are in a tense confrontation. Selene’s head was at war for a long time. The swaying look in her eyes made it clear that she was conflicted.

‘You look worried.’

Hecate waited in silence. Maybe she was better off this way. She thinks and realizes herself… So, being honest with her would be a more positive direction for Selene.

‘What am I… For what… ‘

Sensations pass by. The swamp of her anguish that Selene fell into was deep. It’s hard for her to get out on her own.

‘I’m worried too much.’

I thought Hecate was in danger. So she thought it would be okay to help her weakly. She asked implicitly.

“Do you have any special feelings when you think of Endymion?”

“…There is, but this is what you manipulated-“

“Selene… Let’s be honest. Why is a kid you know going crazy like that?”

Hecate was a misunderstanding she had always wanted to clear up.

“No matter how much power I have, it’s impossible to penetrate your mind.”

It’s not a lie. Indeed, it is true that Hecate has the formidable power to spread her own influence by moving through her dimensions, but that may be possible for Selene, who has just torn through her space.

Of course there are differences. However, what Hecate wanted to say was that she was not as all-powerful as Selene thought.

“Such…”

Should I dismiss it as a lie again? No, Selene couldn’t bear to speak. That would be the case, because when she thought about it rationally, Hecate’s words were absolutely right.

Then there is one unresolved issue.

‘Where do the emotions I feel when I look at Endymion come from?’

Her mouth was tightly shut. Perhaps Selene knew right away. She just didn’t want to admit it, so she didn’t, but she didn’t want to kill her.

Of course, Selene didn’t do it consciously. It must be because of the activation of the unconscious defense mechanism.

‘What did I do that night… ‘

I have devoted my whole life to magic. It was no exaggeration to say that he, as a seeker seeking the truth, poured everything into looking at a higher world.

He was supported by his talent for improvement, and everything went smoothly.

However, there were also unexpected flaws.

That is, everything about her is far from normal. There was a significant gap between the daily life of other people and Selene’s daily life.

As they shared their feelings, Selene was intent on gaining knowledge through her books. When they meet different people and get honest with themselves, she focuses more on the world outside than on herself.

As a result, even though Selene has realized many of her truths… She was ignorant of her own feelings.

Until now.

“Would you like to tell me? How many times have I listened to the complaints of my followers?”

I wonder if he is a god in his own way. Hecate secretly persuaded Selene by mentioning her past career.

“Are you…?”

Then, due to Selene’s personality of not being able to hold back her curiosity even after making a questionable expression and having to solve it immediately, she finally had to open her mouth.

“At first… I didn’t mind at first. It was just out of curiosity.”

She was embarrassing, but she was emphasizing that she was fine.

“Sometimes he complimented me, and it made me feel… very strange.”

But the more you talk, the more you talk.

“Now I pay attention to his hand gestures and footsteps… Even the slightest change in his attire.”

It was a feeling I couldn’t hide.

“Me too… I don’t know what he’s doing, but I’m watching him to see if he doesn’t run away.”

When Selene finished her words, her face turned red, like someone who had discovered her private parts.

“Um… Selene.”

Hecate was very quiet, only listening, and now she barely opened her mouth.

‘Honestly, I knew everything about it.’

She was watching over Endymion, and it would be absurd that Hecate, who was watching over her, didn’t know what had happened to him.

But the reason she was still listening to Selene was-

“It is said that human beings are born at a young age and go through one ups and downs. When do you think that was?”

-Just as Selene has been awakening her truth, let her awaken her own feelings as well. It was just for that reason.

There really isn’t much left now.

“What does that mean?”

Selene asked again, cooling her flushed face, and Hecate did not give her an answer this time.

“I’ll give you a little hint. It’s why people and you are in this world.”

“The reason I was able to be in this world…”

Selene was in deep trouble. Before she knew it, her face color had returned to normal. She seemed rather serious, perhaps because it was a very interesting question.

‘How humans are born.’

Excluding the beginning of the still unknown, human beings are born from another human being.

‘How does that relate to the ups and downs?’

A turning point in life. That was the challenge.

‘… For a moment.’

At that moment, Selene’s eyes lit up as if she had a flash of realization.

‘Humans are born from other humans. Speaking of ups and downs, it’s a state that includes it… The time when the two finally meet.’

And, as she digs into it, Selene’s eyes tremble little by little. After a while… Coming to her conclusion, Selene muttered one word.

“Love… Love…?”

The time when denial turned into certainty, and unbelief turned into truth.

“Uh… Selene. I’m really sorry for leaving rhyme behind.”

Hecate suddenly gave out a trembling voice as her face turned earthy. At the same time, slowly starting to notice Selene was the attitude of a person who made a mistake.

As Selene looked at me, Hecate gulped at her and said.

“What should I… Do…?”

Selene’s pupils widen at her words.

“I think I moved Endymion by mistake…!”
