“….”

“Over there.”

“…”

“Hey, hey!”

“Oh yes?!”

Awkward.

Innis was startled by the sudden shaking and let go of the worshiper’s head. Then the body of the worshiper collapsed without a pulse. It was because he lost most of his ego due to his mental interference.

“What are you doing…?”

Innis paid no attention to the plight of such a worshiper and asked Wiz.

“Oh sorry… Have you been busy?”

“Ah yes, I’m kind of like that, but…”

Innis affirmed without pretense. It would be false to say that he was not busy.

It was called by Wiz while digging through people’s memories to find important memories. It was a task to find only the most important memories in the middle of useless memories such as birth and growth background and important memories such as rituals to summon demons.

Mental interference is a magic that uses the brain to the limit, so it required a lot of physical strength from the user. Sweat dripped down his chin.

While listening to the affirmation of the busyness, Wiz did not stop asking.

“Really? I want to ask you something…”

For Innis, who considered himself an ordinary citizen, being a candidate for a hero was a burdensome existence.

However, since Wiz’s appearance is so small and lovely, I felt pity for him eagerly pulling up his sleeves.

“Do you know where Stella and that man went?”

“Yes?”

Inis looked around in surprise. As Wiz had said, the two of them were nowhere to be seen. Surprised enough to be similar to when she lost her concentration earlier, Innis rather asked Wiz back.

“…I see?”

“You don’t even know…”

Wiz lowered his head and let go of her sleeve.

“But where did he really go…?”

Innis was also surrounded by doubts. Iva and Stella suddenly disappeared. Could it be that he was attacked by someone? However, there were no traces of it around.

Then, in a corner of Innis’s head, Iba’s expression just came to mind. Her haggard, decadent eyes, stricken with fatigue. The corner of his mouth that continued to yawn from sleepiness.

A possibility passed by.

It wasn’t just one of them that disappeared, but both disappeared at the same time.

The two had known each other before, and it was presumed that they were quite close.

Eva has been drowsy ever since she came here.

No way…

“I went to bed…”

Creepy.

A chill ran through Innis’ body. It was a chill from anxiety and loss.

Hot heat welled up under that cold heart.

Until just a while ago, she smiled at her parents saying let’s go see her parents, but she disappears from her old friend? At first, I thought it was outrageous.

At the same time, I felt a bit embarrassed.

Her One of her pride that has been in her all this time. The pride of being the first to befriend Eva and the first to recognize his value was gone. He was made of time and was washed away by more time.

As waves hit and erased letters drawn in the sand, cool and bitter feelings flowed away.

‘Besides, I gave Eva a terrible wound…’

In the first place, becoming his best may not have been something he wished for.

But I couldn’t let go of the lingering feelings.

I couldn’t let the jealous bird fly away coolly like flying it into the forest. She wanted to be the one to lick and heal his wounds.

Then, Ennis suddenly remembered a passage he had seen while reading a book about human relationships.

Friends should be generous with friends. If you are too obsessed or trying to control it, it’s easy for human relationships to go wrong.

‘That’s right!’

You might have a friend or two of a friend. Besides, didn’t the only friendships you have told you that kissing between close friends is common knowledge?

Considering Eva’s constitution, it’s normal for her to ask other friends for sleep help.

Rather, it might have been his own consideration for not asking himself. In order not to interfere with his work, he might have asked Stella, who is close and friendly in his own way.

In other words, he saved himself.

He thought of himself even though he was suffering from the hand of Soma and struggling with the pain of the past while meeting a devil worshiper.

‘Yeah.. That’s right… hehehe… Eva cared for me… Respected my work…’

The important thing is not now.

After all, she’s his best friend, and that’s what happens when he’s his best friend.

It doesn’t matter as long as the people next to each other are at the end of the end.

‘Maybe I’m a little grown-up… A bit big? Isn’t that how it feels?’

When Innis thought that, he felt proud. He then patted his hand on his chest and said.

“Don’t look too hard, Candidate Champion. Sometimes there may be a secret story to tell just the two of you…”

But she also disappeared.

It seemed that he had gone looking for them.

“…Not a sight to behold.”

You can’t catch someone who has already left. Nor was he as weak as he should have been.

Innis turned his head back to work. He grabbed the worshiper by the collar, lifted him upright, and put his hand on his head again.

I have been blocked in one place ever since.

It was a memory filled with the part about being afraid of death.

It was somewhat similar to parents imposing strict house rules on their children. Without explaining the specific reason, it was just suppressed by force.

It’s kind of like brainwashing.

I struggled to find the primary color of my memory as if I was erasing paint that had been spread on my white clothes.

For a long time, Innis was able to look at his memories under the fear of death.

And.

“…What is it?”

I was shocked.

There were not just three demons he was trying to summon.

**

“…..”

I saw a man and a woman who spend a moment of affection as if only they were everything in the world. They were coveting each other in such a sticky and dense way that you could mistake them for overlapping their bodies.

Clear saliva dripped between the lips, making it impossible to tell who it belonged to.

Perhaps it was because the time of the body was greatly accelerated, or because their movements were so static, the meeting between the two seemed to have stopped.

“I see.”

Wiz nodded her head.

“That’s the best person for Stella.”

Wiz dropped her gaze and saw the man being held by Stella.

Demon king candidate.

As if to prove its power, the person who separated the two of them who were always alone. The person who removed Stella, who was the only world to him.

He knows of Stella’s childhood that he does not know, the only one who can prove that she has lost her memories of her. He thought it would end just like that.

But he ended up being Stella’s best. He became the person to be prioritized above all else.

“It was like that…”

As long as Stella is happy with this, it doesn’t matter. Look at Stella’s expression now. A face that he had never seen before, a face that was unraveled as soon as it was released. It melted ecstatically, as if chocolate had been sweetly melted by heat. Filled with happiness

It is incomparable to seeing the stars.

Looking at Stella like that, Wiz fell into memories for a while.

Due to her overwhelming talent, she was a girl who did not hang out with anyone and even worshiped Wiz and her only friend.

The girl who stretched out her hand several times towards her rough and unsociable woman because she couldn’t sleep.

A girl who used to read fairy tales to her until she fell asleep.

‘Wiz, your eyes are really pretty. It’s like the Milky Way…’

The girl smiled innocently and lifted her bangs.

When Wiz remembered that girl, her heart ached.

A girl reading books to Wiz, who didn’t know much for her age, teaching her math, martial arts and sports, telling her stories, rumors, and games.

The girl’s eyes were Wiz’s.

Wiz learned the world through Stella’s eyes.

She said her words were temples and she had many more colors where she looked.

Girls were Wiz’s world.

It was virtually everything to her. The reason to protect her world was made by her.

But I knew.

She told her that she wasn’t like that.

She says that if there’s someone more than herself that makes her happy, she should let go.

She understood with her head. But when she looked at it, her breasts weren’t like that.

She clutched her chest in anguish. Among the diseases Stella told me, was her arrhythmia? It had similar symptoms. Her breathing was tight.

Wiz put her foot on the back of her Eva’s head for no reason and quit.

“…Good job.”

He chewed out the sarcasm and then disappeared.

Since she must have been in a similar situation to her in that demon realm, she should tease her a bit. She thinks like that

**

A pink figure flickered in her eyes for a moment before disappearing. Wiz must have woken up already. Thinking that others had seen her made her feel a bit ashamed.

Stella, perhaps sensing my reaction was strange, asked, parting her lips for a moment.

“What’s wrong?”

“No big deal.”

“What?”

She mumbled, biting my tongue.

“It’s hip.”

I think it means focus. I let her take control of my body again, enjoying the hot breath on her tongue and the warmth of her body. Sleep is like the sea. It feels like floating in it. The waves are stellar. She’s playing with my body, making waves like meteors.

It’s funny. The color of her hair is closer to lava than sea. Ah, when it comes to the sea under the sunset sky, she might be at least a bit like her.

I tried holding her hair for a moment as if holding water. It slipped through her fingers more like sand than the evening sea.

So now I feel the meteor while being swept away by the waves of the sunset in the sea of sleep. Also, it was warm to feel the life of one person clearly like the nickname of the sea, the mother of all things. Now I couldn’t tell whose body temperature was hotter. Her temperature and mine have already become the same. Is the heart the same? The higher the heart rate, the higher the humidity and the sweat clinging to each other’s flesh.

I was satisfied.

I smiled and closed my eyes like a youngster who enjoyed a dinner.

It was only a moment before I fell asleep.

And as soon as I fell asleep.

“Wake up!”

Someone’s strong voice shook my brain. The white air I’ve always seen, a field of colorful flowers and a huge hand that has turned into a butterfly. It was a dream where the scenery had changed.

“Wake up!”

“…What is it?”

I didn’t like waking me up after how long I slept. But it is the word of the sage.

It’s the words of a person who has awakened to all knowledge in this world, but it’s worth listening to. Rather than continuing my annoyance, I chose to ask.

“Tell me briefly why you need to wake up.”

As a personal desire, I want a detailed explanation, but seeing that urgency right now, I can’t.

The wise man was at a loss for words. He was probably thinking about how far he should speak. Due to the influence of her demon lord, she cannot interfere with reality beyond a certain extent. Is indirect interference impossible in the form of letting me know?

I sighed and asked again.

“Is it related to this ordeal?”

“…That’s right.”

A bitter taste lingered in my mouth. Survive. Those five letters weighed heavily on my heart like the weight of the sea. It would be better if the ordeal had been mine alone.

“…Lilia.”

Lilia. The flower witch and the one with butterfly eyes were also subjected to this ordeal. The same five letters, that terrible scarlet brand, are embedded like a curse.

“Damn it…”

I felt like all the stress I had been running away. It was very unpleasant. The discomfort filled his throat and choked his breath.

That hidden sleep is because you are drowning in the sea.

Thinking of her now away from her, I floated in her sleep without hesitation.

“…Eva? Are you awake already?”

When I opened my eyes, Stella’s benevolent eyes greeted me for the first time.

Then the sky.

Blue sky. A sky beautifully decorated with clouds, a dry sky.

In it.

It snowed.

It was snow unsuitable for the weather. It was an untimely eye. The sky was too clear for snow and the season was still warm.

In that case…

What is that?

Nan looked at my eyes suspiciously.
