#13
My eyes keep closing
Are you sleepy? It was irresistible.
It’s a bit similar to that, but a little different. It seems like I want to close my eyes and feel comfortable right now.
But, if I close my eyelids right now… … It seemed like he would never wake up again.
His body was bound with something like black chains.
“I don’t like men.”
Kimaris murmured.
“You don’t seem to have seen it, but this human. The barrier was clearly broken and entered. It is a very powerful divinity. It seems like he’s hiding inside now.”
“… … Hmm, okay?”
“The answer is to eat it after waking it up.”
Popula looks down at me coldly.
It looked as if her hands were tied behind her back, kneeling around the pond where Rubia was lying.
Whatever he did to my body, no more blood came out of my mouth. Was he worried that he would die at will?
There were no spots on my body that made me want to die, but unfortunately they didn’t seem to want me to die.
“… … Rubia, how are you going to do it… ”
“yes?”
I barely opened my mouth.
Maybe the vocal cords were broken, or the pitch of the notes was bizarre. Even as I spit out a single letter, my throat felt like it was getting hot.
Kimaris tilts her head to the side.
“Before, when I asked you to speak, you didn’t say a word… … Do you really want to go back?”
At that, I twisted my lips.
“… Kill me, see… … Park, you mouse… ”
“… … Whoops.”
Kimaris smiles darkly.
“Popula, I must be… ”
“Be patient. Should I fall for provocations like humans?”
Popula raises her hand to restrain Kimaris.
“… … After, yes. you do it yourself I’ll keep getting ready.”
As if angry, Kimaris turned his back.
slightly refreshed.
As long as this demon called Popula wants my life to be preserved, Kimaris cannot kill me recklessly.
Even if it was a swear word, it felt really good. Of course, the exhilarating feeling quickly vanished due to the pain that constricted his whole body.
Now is the time to think.
How to rescue Rubia from here, and how should I escape from the control of these demons?
In fact, the prospect is nowhere.
From the time I was beaten in the stomach by that demon called Chimaris, I was convinced of that.
No matter what I do here and now, my future is but death.
If there was only a small hope, it would be that Shuriel, who was outside the barrier by now, would find reinforcements from somewhere, break the barrier and exterminate the demons.
… … Before that, I want to die first.
Just, I don’t know.
I’d rather not come in.
The choice of letting Rubia die… …

Did you really have to choose?
… … No, I would never have.
See, I was a pathetic man who couldn’t forget Rubia to this day, and then decided to let him go.
1st year middle school. In order to bind Rubia in a clumsy relationship, he slammed such a ridiculous confession without retreating, and of course he was kicked.
Then Rubia wanted to continue to be friends with me. I pretended to be smiling at the time and promised to do so, but in the end, that wish didn’t come true.
That was absolutely impossible.
It was too pathetic for me to be friends again after that confession to the subject that I had become distant from Rubia because of my inferiority complex alone.
Above all, it seemed that I would never be able to see Rubia again like before. My first love had ended in vain. Every time I met Rubia’s face, it seemed that the memories of that day would overlap.
It was a confession that was rejected from the beginning because of my lack of it, but there was no reason to blame her while looking at Rubia, who had nothing wrong with her… …
Rubia must have wanted to be close friends with me again. Actually it has been Rubia often seemed to ask people around me about my news.
On the other hand, I didn’t think I deserved to stand next to Rubia again. There were too many shortcomings for that. If you are not proud of yourself, how can you put an iron plate on your face and call yourself Rubia’s friend?
So, I avoided Rubia as much as possible.
After getting to know Mew, Rubia only looked at me for a while, but didn’t come any closer.
And, after I had a lover named Mew… … It would have been nice to see that they didn’t even make contact at all.
It was said that when the body goes away, the mind goes away too.
We were closer than we thought.
They still exist in a not-so-distant space, so it was inevitable that they should always be concerned.
Now, it was right in front of me.
Like me, on the verge of death.
I couldn’t stand it at all.
No matter how far I got away from Rubia, I couldn’t keep my sanity in the face of Rubia’s death and give up Rubia for my own survival.
For that… … There were so many precious memories that Rubia gave me.
If Rubia died like this, it was clear that every night I would have a nightmare of the happy memories of my childhood.
So you can’t give up
There is only one reason why you can barely hold on to your mind even when death approaches.
If I close my eyes here, I can no longer guarantee Rubia’s survival.
Somehow, I have to save Rubia… …
——At the moment you think.
“… … !”
“Chimaris!”
uh.
… … just what was it
“Shut up, Popula. I’ve been like that before, but thinking about it again this time, I’m getting mad. Why do I have to listen to sarcasm from such an ignorant person and keep quiet? It’s so damn cool. Fuck.”
“This impatient b*tch… … ”
Puddy Duck Duck.
Kimaris grabbed my arm tightly and broke the joint. It doesn’t stop there, but this time he grabs his leg. same. turn it backwards
The scream still didn’t come out.
“Fuck it, Popula. How do you know where and when that divinity or what it is?”
“… … ”
“In the beginning, there is only one offering that can be offered within this barrier. We don’t even have the precise technology to put everything in and take it out like b*tches like Eligos, so do we have to risk everything we’ve prepared so far? I don’t think so.”
“… … ”
conscious.
getting farther away
“And this little boy, if you leave it like this, you’ll go after it anyway. I can’t take it anywhere and use it. Would it be better to do it quickly or finish it and get out of here? Until the night when the moon rises, whatever attack comes from the outside, it will be fine, but beyond that, even the caster cannot handle it.”
Chimaris’ face was in front of my nose.
is it a face Or maybe it was blood. Oh, it was the blood running down my forehead.
They come together and condense together. The pupil, which shakes violently because it cannot distinguish objects and shapes, soon loses its destination.
pooh–
“Anyway, go ahead.”
Kimaris’s index finger, which had pierced my forehead, seemed to touch something soft.
Kimaris squatted, licking his blood-stained lips with his tongue, whispering quietly to me, who is rapidly losing my life.
“… … Your friend will eat well, kid. So who’s coming in without fear? After all, the problem is that humans are impatient.”
Kimaris is growing up.
… … I can’t.
All thoughts are cut off
Now, it was a crowd.
Rubia… …
If I die here… …
… …
… …
… … I’m sorry, Mu.
#14
several hours after that.
“Okay, we’re almost done. Would this be enough?”
Kimaris put her hands on her waist and smiled.
The little girl’s body was floating in the air higher than before. To receive the moonlight closer.
The whitish moonlight reflected on the round pond, reflected on the water surface, colored Rubia’s body wrapped in a veil in every corner.
It is the sun that bestows divinity,
It is the moon that excludes the divinity.
A miracle that the sun god, who loved humans, bestowed only on humans—— divinity.
Humans, who were weaker and insignificant than other races, were the biggest reason why I was able to keep the continent in my hands. The demons who were born under the moon rather than the sun wanted it so much.
——Someone said, it is the pinnacle of all the delicacies of this world.
It is said that once you taste it, you can’t help but covet more than that.
Since nothing can be extracted from ordinary humans, only human divinity, selected through more special and strict conditions, is the most valuable, so the number of demons who try to take it personally is said to be well over thousands… …
However, until now, the Great War in the Southern Demon Realm a few years ago has drastically reduced the number of such demons.
All that was left were the demons who either pulled their tails out of the war that took place at that time, or refused to participate in the war on their own.
The demons who are now trying to covet Rubia’s powerful divinity on the shores of this pond—Chimaris, Popula, and Gremory were the main members of the 72 demons who were thus expelled from the Demon Realm.
I had no interest in war in the first place, and I did not pay allegiance to the Demon Realm, thinking only of my own comfort and purpose, I hid in the human world and hunted humans with special divinity.
How many times was that as of today?
Hundreds were probably well over.
The time in Gremory’s unique barrier is fixed. It was a night where the moonlight always fell here. The barrier had never been disturbed by an external shock, but, to be sure, five or six hours had already passed in the barrier.
Another human being next to the person who was sacrificed.
Shuriel was also a possessor of divinity, but because he was none other than a man, it didn’t suit Chimaris’ taste, and the color of divinity was much smaller than that of the human he brought with him.
Well, I don’t know, but the escape probably failed, Kimaris thought.
The most powerful central barrier was installed here, but in the first place, it was a barrier that was constructed as wide as it was covering half of the forest.
As time goes by gradually.
The shadow monsters created by the magician would attack the human from all directions, and it would be difficult to deal with it, but it was difficult for Kimaris to imagine the future of successfully escaping by breaking the external barrier with only his skills.
Shouldn’t it be a corpse by now?
Well, it was better. If you throw it at his friend who enjoys sodomy, he would make it into a family.
… … by the way.
“… … ”
Kimaris suddenly turned her gaze to the side.
There was a lot of blood lying around on the ground. It was a small human boy whom Kimaris had just pierced through the head and killed at once.
With such a fragile body, the joints of the arms and legs were all shattered in the first blow.
The internal organs also seemed to have been severely ruptured. If he had left it alone, he would have died instantly within five minutes.
He said he killed the person he was going to fall behind anyway, but he didn’t like Popula’s Kimaris, who was so stiff with his arms folded and his eyes closed.
Should I see the opportunity and break the horn someday? If it was displayed as an ornament in my house, I thought it would be very pleasing.
Anyway.
I should end what I was talking about earlier.
“Popula, Gremory.”
“… … ”
“… … ”
At the call of Chimaris, Popula slowly opens her eyes.
Even the giant Gremory looked at this place at the end.
“I know that there is no objection to the first taste. I almost did all the preparations, so this is reasonable enough, right?”
“… … Ttt, do whatever you want.”
“A narrow-minded bastard.”
Kimaris giggled.
It was still a silent Gremory, but he nodded slowly with his mouth shut.
Anyway, that guy was a really good demon who cooperated with his plans without saying anything.
… … Instead, the problem was that I kept trying to put something terribly disliked into my body every deep night in return.
All preparations are over.
A delicious dinner was served in front of you.
The tableware is ready, and now all that remains is to really chew, chew, taste and enjoy.
The moonlight scatters even more intense colors, with a splendid divinity in front of you that seems to have been a long time coming. Kimaris, full of energy in an instant, spread her arms wide.
“Thanks to Hyperion who bestowed divinity on humans!”
There is no such thing as religion for the devil.
Infinite respect goes to the person who gave us such a useful value as divine even to the weakest human beings so that we could simply enjoy this quality and delicious dinner.
The moon demon prayed to the sun god.
Kimaris, full of joy and ecstasy, spread her arms wide, her tail waving and her long reddish-brown hair fluttering in the air.
The moonlight shines brighter.
woo woo woo… …
The hidden divinity sneaks out of the body, and the beautiful, luminous body of Rubia, as if made of handmade light, is reflected into Chimaris’ eyes, bringing a feeling of supreme happiness.
The mouth was so wide that it couldn’t open any further.
Kimaris with gleaming eyes flapped her wings and slowly approached the halo——
“I don’t know, damn it! Would you like to eat———”
It was so shouting.
“You are bothering a woman twice. boy.”
pick——
There was only one line.
“… … Well?”
Kimaris blinked.
Something as thin as a thread pierced the ceiling of the barrier and stuck between Popula and Kimaris.
what is this
“… … What, when is a good time?”
Kimaris, who noticed the existence, also expressed a brief question and looked around with an angry face as if his excitement had been broken.
It was a thread wrapped in a faint light like moonlight.
No, it wasn’t moonlight.
So what?
“… … ”
Popula looks up at the sky at the sudden event.
In the night sky with the moon rising, there seemed to be no problem on the outside. Gremory, the caster of the barrier, with his arms folded, expressed his doubts as well.
However, the place where this shining thread was stretched seemed to be located in the high sky, piercing through the clouds and far beyond that.
In other words, from a place higher than the barrier they built——
“… … uh? that… ”
That moment.
hey hey hey hey-!!
It was as thin as a thread spun by a caterpillar.
Aww!
The diameter rapidly widened with a roar that resonated with the stream.
“What, what, what! what suddenly… … !”
spurt.
The shadow of the moon fades.
The dark night sky turns white.
and.
bang-!
Aww-!
Aaah
once.
twice.
hundreds of times.
A pillar of light that broke through the barrier without any resistance, a faint strand that looked like a small thread.
Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times——In three to one second, the space vibrates and crashes into the shore of the pond.
hey hey hey hey–
Thus, the overlapping pillars of light were to break the barrier like a blunt force toward a single destination, spreading the dazzling sunlight that could not be compared with the faint moonlight.
“Mr. … !”
Kimaris sensed the danger and fled.
“Far, popul, popula… … ?”
Popula, who was there,
It became ashes without a trace.
… … Are you dreaming right now?
Pale skin is rapidly cooling down.
Kimaris’ mood, which had been full of unbearable excitement, joy, and rapture, quickly plunged toward the abyss.
My head can’t keep up with the situation.
‘Hey, what’s going on… … ‘
blah blah blah blah blah… …
The barrier was breaking into pieces.
“Hey, Gremory! Barrier, barrier!”
As if the sky was furious.
Aaaveh
“Hey profit… … !”
The pillar of light that had just wiped out Popula from the world fell again, this time engulfing Gremory’s body from the head.
Whoops!
From the spot where nothing but ashes remained, a feeble flame blazed with a fiery flame.
bang! bang! bang!
Hurry rumble!
Huge pillars of light that thundered widely around Chimaris one by one, collided without mercy except in a certain part of the pond, creating a terrifying flame.
“Mister, f*ck you… what, what what! What is this!”
The pond became a chaos.
Tulle rumble—!
yet again.
This time, it hits Chimaris on the head.
“Hey ah ah ah ah ah!”
Kimaris, who sensed the alarm of death, immediately flapped his wings to avoid it, and as soon as he saw the spot where he had just been lit up with a pure white light, he was engulfed in indescribable fear.
Sacrifice, sacrifice doesn’t matter.
have to live
I need to run away from here right now… …
The forest of vegetation surrounding the pond began to burn in less than ten seconds.
The barrier that began to break from the top was slowly cracking. If it does, it will break. it breaks You have to escape before that.
Kimaris tried to soar into the sky, flapping her wings like crazy, without a bird to grab anything from Rubia that had floated over the pond——
Quiet rumble!
“Kyaah!”
The pillar of light that slammed down as if it was ready to begin, immediately halted the flight of Chimaris.
Kimaris, who was staggered for an instant when he saw it crashed right next to him, lost his balance and fell to the floor like a meteorite.
Aww!
“Uhhh… … ”
There are fires all around.
Gray smoke was rising from all sides, and everything was burning, including the bushes.
In the blazing fire.
Tulle rumble—!
Finally, one more pillar of light strikes down.
Kimaris, who was lying on the floor and trembling, suddenly raised her head in front of him.
“… … Fuck?”
Kimaris’s eyes were filled with fear and fear for the first time in his life, leaving nothing but survival instincts in his head when the alarm of death sounded.
“… … Nonsense.”
as much as that.
could definitely recognize it.
Something that could never have happened was happening.
… … okay,
It was a miracle.
“Uh, how… … ? Obviously dead… … ”
“… … ”
In the dazzling halo that erased the demon without a trace, something still intact even after being hit by it staggered and stood up.
deformed arms and legs.
In Chimaris’ eyes, there was not a single magic remaining in that body.
It was completely empty all the way to the bottom, and if I had to pull it up forcibly, the circuit would be broken. Because of the shaking and torn intestines, he groaned and vomited blood from his mouth.
However, there was no visible hole in the forehead. I had no idea what was going on. Kimaris was soon engulfed in fear of the unknown.
From a certain moment, the pillar of light no longer hit this place.
The last of that human corpse, the only thing left in the barrier that was gradually broken was the forest devoured by the flames and the splendid sacrifice of the divine that was still floating on the pond.
… … not. It was no longer a corpse.
“… … ah.”
“Hey hey profit… … !”
Kimaris slowly retreated back.
‘Bar, I just said it!’
he was obviously dead
came back to life
… … how?
It was different from the zombies belonging to the monsters.
A weak vitality is felt all over the body.
perfect revival.
… … Was that possible?
Although he paused for a while, the fear of the pillar of light that could devour him at any time or place made it impossible for Kimaris to move arbitrarily.
Its pointed tail trembled in bursts. Kimaris was lying on the ground with her hips pulled back and her head covered with her hands.
“… Oh come, don’t come… … ”
In front of such Chimaris.
“… … ”
Slowly, the resurrected Ezio Cranil moved.
#15
I thought my mind had returned.
“… … Cool.”
An unbearable agony ensued.
Whoops, whoops… …
Instinctively, he touches the ground and stands up.
Everything around was on fire. Uncontrollable heat heats my skin, creaking my immobile joints in it, and somehow I stand on the ground and look at the situation with my head up.
… … What happened?
I must have died… …
His fragile body was miraculously moving.
Is it because I have been through too much pain? Now, his body, which seemed to have been slightly burned by fire, was rather more comfortable.
“… … ah.”
“Hey hey profit… … !”
It staggers and walks forward according to its instinct.
“… Oh come, don’t come… … ”
Someone’s trembling voice is heard.
who was that… …
Turn your gaze to the side while focusing.
By the pond, Rubia was still floating.
… … Oh, I’m glad.
yet… … you were alive
Of course you can’t be sure.
Only after pulling him out of the air and checking to see if his heart was beating would he be relieved.
… … Previously.
Turn your head forward again
I saw a demon that had pierced my head.
He was trembling, lying on the ground, looking up at me, terrified.
Other demons… …
I do not know. Did he run away?
I don’t know what happened, but there were about two piles of ashes that had been clustered together in the cowardice. That’s not it. It didn’t matter anyway. Because it wasn’t important.
Walk towards Kimaris.
“Oh, come… … ”
one step.
two steps.
“… … haha. you’re nothing To the weak subject, what do you think is going to happen if you died once and came back to life?”
three steps.
four steps.
“The attack has just stopped, hey, now it’s my turn. If you come closer than that, you really look after them. I’m really behind this time. Do you think you can survive twice even if you don’t know once? Can you do it, damn it!”
And, finally, when it was five steps.
“Oh, come and die. Fuck this shit… ”
Kimaris gets up from her seat.
He was obviously full of all kinds of fear, but now he seems to have come to his senses, and he stretches out his hand towards me with a fluttering face.
grinded this
Because of you.
Now, because of that damn devil… …
Is it already night time?
The surroundings were very bright, but the moon that appeared above me was clearly visible.
It’s not the moon rising inside the barrier, it’s cracking and cracking and looking out of the broken barrier… … Round full moon above the night sky.
… … finally.
it’s late for a long time
“… … ”
I looked down at my palms.
I don’t know what happened while I lost my mind, but just like when I first entered the barrier, a faint halo was wrapped around my body.
… … In other words.
It seemed that anything was possible now.
percussion,
Tick, tuck, tuck, tuck——
“… … ! I told you not to come——”
Kimaris spawned a black sphere from her palm.
“Turn it off… Ughhh!!”
Each time he took a strong step, the pain flooded in, but he did not collapse and used evil. With my eyes wide open, I run towards the red-brown-haired demon, clenching my teeth, ready to break my body.
Aww!
The magic was empty. So I can’t write
In the burning forest, I was hit straight by the magic bullets that Kimaris hurriedly fired as he stepped backwards.
“… … ! No, that’s ridiculous… … !”
The moment it touched my hand.
Aaah
The magic bullet disappeared like a mirage.
percussion—
In a panicked car, Kimaris tries to jump backwards.
try to flap your wings
don’t leave it like that
I was closer
percussion!
Charges to Chimaris, who is about to run away.
OK.
Whoo!
Kimaris breaks her legs as before and stretches her feet toward my stomach. It was very fast, and it was still a demon. I thought I would die if I didn’t dodge properly. It was such an intense century.
By the way.
Gripping support——
“Aaah
It wasn’t me who was screaming, it was Chimaris.
As soon as his feet touched my shiny body, he screamed and fell to the floor with his posture broken.
“Bar, feet… Whoops, whoops… … ”
From his ankles, he had disappeared without a shape.
“This, this, this, there could be… … ”
Kimaris, who had been holding the cutting edge in tears, suddenly looked up at me and smiled squeaky.
It was the low smile of a loser.
“Come on, wait a minute. kid Oh no, human. my, i’m sorry huh? Is that friend still alive? I haven’t done anything yet. uh? you, you are still alive Then it happened.”
“… … ”
“I, I will live a good life now. I’m not going to do anything like hunting humans. Just, if you just send me here… … ”
“anyway.”
“Uh, uh… … ?”
I opened my mouth that didn’t open well.
It was still painful to make a sound, but the words continued uninterrupted. The broken vocal cords seemed to have recovered to some extent.
“Even if I got out of here, I would be caught and searched.”
“… … my, please only once… ”
He lowered his posture toward the begging Kimaris and sat down.
With my palms wrapped in light, I grabbed a pair of Chimaris’ wings, which were flowing with black blood.
–as it is.

Dump Duck Duck Duck!
“Aaah!”
“I just think I’m going to die a little early.”
A piercing scream rang out.
He constantly groans in pain, trembling his torn wings without mercy, and shedding tears of blood one after another.
“Hey, this bastard, the mandible, the crane, uh… … ”
There was no need to see any more.
It’s been a long time since I had time to waste time watching the screams of the devil.
He reached out towards Chimaris’ neck.

Dark red eyes were eagerly waiting for life.
“… … live, live… ”
“die.”
gurgling gurgling.
puffy.
That was the end of it.
Kimaris, who had been separated from his neck and head by burning, died as it was.
“… … ”
There is not a single spot on the body that is holy.
My hand, which burned Chimaris’s neck in an instant, its intense light gradually diminished after a while, and eventually disappeared without a shape.
… … what was it
I do not know.
I don’t care anymore.
It doesn’t matter if a miracle happened or whatever.
Turn your head towards the middle of the pond.
“… … Rubia.”
Because I had something I had to do now.
#16
bruises, bruises.
I scramble and walk towards the pond.
In the burning forest.
In the middle of it, Rubia appeared.
snappy.
Walk slowly and dip your feet in the pond.
clack, clack.
The water was cold.
Quietly splitting the current, he walks and walks towards Rubia, which is starting to sink gradually from the air.
The depth of the water gradually deepens.
“… … ”
When the water reached her waist, I reached out and pulled out Rubia’s body safely.
slurp.
Remove the veil over the robe.
Rubia, who was covering her eyes with a pure white cloth, was fortunately taking a shallow breath.
was still breathing.
So, he was alive.
“… … Whoa.”
More than anything else, she was relieved by that fact and carefully hugged Rubia.
Clap, tick… …
I didn’t even think about removing the blindfold until I was completely out of the forest. Because this shocking sight was not very good to show anyone.
The fresh vegetation was on fire with a hellish fire, and my body was now in a state of disrepair, not to mention. If anyone saw it, it was obvious that it would be as scary as a zombie.
If possible, it is better not to instill trauma.
It seemed that he had been asleep since he was kidnapped by the devil, so it would have been better to preserve only those memories.
Clap, tick… …
Rubia’s body was not as heavy as expected.
Is it because of some exercise?
I could hear it just fine.
Of course, since I was not in a state of mind right now, even a little movement caused pain to rush in, but I managed to endure it as I clenched my teeth hard as if they were going to break.
After an unidentified halo wrapped around his body, the pain was relieved, so it was tolerable.
Clap, tick… …
“… … ”
Putting her arms between Rubia’s neck and her crotch and holding her in her arms, she crossed the current of the pond and headed out.
really.
… … thank god.
Rubia was saved.
“… … ”
A sense of relief as if your legs will loosen unintentionally.
I thought I had finally escaped the fear of death.
… … Now, with the feeling of being able to return to Mew.
A single stream of unfamiliar tears flowed down.
… … again.
Those tiny drops of water fell from my face and touched Rubia’s beautiful forehead underneath.
Was it because of that?
“… … uhm.”
“… … !”
A sound escaped from between Rubia’s lips.
did you wake up It was fortunate.
Even if life was guaranteed, there was no way that the things inside would be okay. Had it been a little bit later, it might have really been all over.
Breathing a deep sigh of relief, I continued towards the outside of the pond, holding Rubia.
Rubia’s droopy body was cold.
Maybe it’s because it’s cold here.
My body is also a body, but I don’t know what Rubia has done in the meantime. First of all, Rubia was going to have to head to the temple.
Of course, I had to go somewhere before that.
Clap, tick… …
Now it’s almost over.
All I had to do was come out to the water.
The rippling water barely covered only her ankles.
right then
Rubia made a faint voice, barely moving her lips as if she had no energy to move her body.
“… … ah… ”
I suddenly lowered my gaze.
Rubia looked at me through the blindfold.
——So, muttered quietly.
“… … Shriel, Sun, Bae… ?”
#17
『There are a lot of places that look a bit suspicious to be a bowl, but hmmm… This is more interesting research material than I thought… … ?』
“… … 』
“… … What, is it broken already?”
#18
The barrier was broken.
The night sky is tinged with darkness.
The fire burning inside is still there, and there is no sign of it being extinguished. After exiting the pond, move your wet lower body and walk toward the outside.
Slowly, very slowly.
… … As if walking down the road, I suddenly fell down.
That was then.
“——Rubia! Ezio Cranil! Are you okay?!”
Although not as good as me.
As soon as the barrier was broken, Shriel, who was covered in scars, hurriedly ran over to this place, shooting a chunk of ice that was definitely smaller than before.
What happened outside?
Shriel also looked unimpressed.
“Rubia, Rubia is fine… … ?!”
Let me approach you while holding Rubia.
Shriel exhales and shouts.
“… … It’s safe. I just lost my mind for a moment.”
“Ahh… … ”
Shriel’s serious face, which had been shrouded in all sorts of worries and anxieties until she saw it, collapsed as soon as she saw Rubia’s calm, small breathing.
“Ah, ah, ah… Oh God… … ”
Shriel was about to burst into tears.
Soon, he collapsed as if his legs had lost their strength.
“Thank you… thank you… … Really, thank you… this, this, how… ha ha… … ”
Shriel, who had been expressing her gratitude to me as she scanned the scars on her face with the back of her hand, looked carefully at Rubia.
“… … Oh no, you… ?”
“… … ”
The raised gaze catches my face.
Shuriel’s eyes widened so much that he couldn’t get any bigger than that. It was a look of dismay.
“The wound… … ”
“it’s okay.”
Shriel asks one after another in a trembling voice.
“No, living… is there? You should go to the temple sooner than me and get treatment… … ”
“no.”
I shook my head.
