121 – Immortality (2)

The development after moving into Innis’ parents’ house was obvious if it was obvious and touching if it was touching. In other words, it smelled like a human being.

“Is that… Really Innis?”

“Yes, that’s me, mother.”

The woman welcomed Innis.

“Really… Really Innis?”

“Yes… It really is me, mother.”

Fortunately, what Innis was worried about did not happen. The outrageous delusion that family members face to face or call oneself for ridicule. There was no way that would come true.

The address written on the letter was correct, and it was not a lie to say that Innis was collecting activities. As soon as you enter the house, the feast of numerous newspaper articles is enough to make you mistakenly thinking that this house might be an editorial office.

Innis, who left so many achievements in such a short period of time, was great, and the affection of her family, who gathered every single one of her achievements, was great.

“I’m sorry for all this time. I shouldn’t have shown you that face. I shouldn’t have left you alone. I shouldn’t have sent you to the training center without saying anything like that… I’m really… Really sorry.”

As soon as she was sure that her lady was her Innis, she terribly embraced her. She now held a child in her arms that was much older than herself. Tears welled up in both of her eyes.

“Even though I did…You are so… Wonderful.”

The words were gibberish and word-for-word, but the sincerity was clearly felt. Tears welled up in Innis’ eyes as well.

“Really… Welcome. Welcome…!”

“Yes… I’m back.”

In the end, it was a peaceful reunion. No matter the twists and turns, a family is a family. A relationship where there is affection in sharing words and no hesitation in sharing warmth. Even if time passes, memories of once harmonious life continue to this day.

She could have been jealous of that moving reunion, but Iba’s heart was unexpectedly peaceful.

Since there was a lot of time spent at Monia’s house, it was because my jealousy had subsided.

‘I’ve been living in such a harmonious family for a long time… It’s a little hard to rekindle jealousy now.’

The jealousy of the harmonious family, which had already burned, all died and only the warm gray warmth remained.

She also said that she could return to Monia anytime, and she even got a place to go home. She becomes jealous and then becomes deceitful.

“Yes, welcome… Really welcome…”

Iva had a sudden thought while watching the two embrace.

‘Family… Will I get married and have children later?’

She shook her head at the thought.

‘Nonsense. What kind of marriage is it in this situation… I can’t even date.’

In order for her to be in a relationship, she must be able to fully focus on that person. She has a hardened idea after witnessing Spica’s numerous failures. Because of her attitude of putting Eva first, she was rejected countless times, and in the end, she couldn’t have a proper relationship.

But she wasn’t even in that environment now that Iba was. Due to her covenant, she had to be with Lilia constantly, and she had to abandon her situation as a candidate for the Demon King, and she had to move around several cities for this. It was obvious that she wouldn’t be able to make love properly as well as she was drowning in her tiredness.

This attitude is disrespectful to her prospective partner.

Above all, how can she take care of others when she can’t even take care of herself? It is absurd.

‘Come to think of it, my first thought before coming here was that I want to date… Will that work?’

But that’s what she wants once she’s solved all of her own problems. Otherwise, dating is nothing more than avoidance.

There is no difference between the previous life and now. As I was sinking into lamentation with such thoughts, someone pulled Iva’s sleeve.

Looking back, Innis’ younger brother was the true identity of that hand.

“?”

“Hey, brother.”

“There’s a bit of an age gap to call him an older brother. Just call him a man.”

“Yes brother.”

“This friend is really…”

She must have guessed her age because of her obvious appearance. No matter how lenient he might have been, he now had an outward appearance that was no more than ten years older than this girl.

Eva turned her story around before the age problem hit again.

“So, what happened?”

“What’s your relationship with my sister?”

Eva touched her chin.

What are you talking about? It was a really profound question. First of all, insisting on each other is the best of friends. But if you look in her eyes, she’s deep for a young friend. Iba thought friendship was the same feeling as love, so it didn’t matter, but in the eyes of others, she could be a little ambiguous.

“Are you my boyfriend?”

“hahahaha, that can’t be.”

She has just confirmed that she cannot date. She might have a lover. Not kidding anyone

“Huh? Then what?”

“We are friends. Best friends to each other.”

I said it was the best, but I didn’t say it was the best. So she was not lying to all of Stella, Innis, and Lilia, but the truth. She was the best for him. Her friend didn’t really want to classify. It was clear that everyone would be happy with this decision.

“Yes? I have a best friend too! Daisy!”

“Really? That’s great. Treat it with respect.”

“Yes! I will.”

Eva smiled.

“So her brother came to my house to ask permission to play with her sister?”

“Huh?”

“Daisy always gets permission from her mother before playing with me.”

“Oh yeah? You’re a good friend. Get permission before you play with your friends, too.”

The conversation must have been very impressive, and the mother and daughter, who felt the warmth of her reunion, began to pay attention. Now that she’s moderately relaxed, the presence of her outsider has gotten on her nerves beyond her daughter’s return.

“Right Innis… Who is this person you brought?”

“Oh right! Cow, let me introduce you!”

Innis turned her hand to Eva and said.

“My best friend! It’s Eve!”

“Chi, mate…? Really?”

This is because when you visit after a long time, the person you came with is just a friend?

…This was not the reaction.

“I couldn’t make a single friend when I was in my hometown…? Really?”

“Mom really~ What should I do if I say something like that, what if Iba thinks I’m strange?”

“Mi, I’m sorry… I was so surprised.”

It was just pure surprise. Innis looked over Eva for safety, worried that her image of a loner would not be reinforced. But her worries were just for nothing.

In Iva, there was no room for the perception of being alone to be strengthened. How can she raise what she has already reached her limit?

“Hello mother. I’m Innis’s friend, Iva.”

As her eyes turned to him, Eva replied with a grin.

“My name is Karen! Take care of me brother!”

“Okay, thank you.”

I shook her hand as she stretched out beside her.

“Eva convinced me to come here! Plus, she got rid of my magic phobia!”

“Such… You must have been a benefactor. I didn’t notice.”

Eva waved her hand at Innis’s mother, who bowed her head like that.

“No. Rather, I should call Innis the benefactor who made it possible for me to meet someone. Also, if it were Innis, I would have been able to shake off my hesitation without my help. Don’t do that.”

Innis’s mother laughed at that and nodded her head.

“I’m sure you know why my daughter has them as friends.”

“Huh! Right?”

When Eva was recognized, Innis became proud.

“Thank you for coming with Innis today… Do you want to go out for dinner?”

“With your permission.”

“Sure! Wait a minute. I’ll be shopping soon.”

Muttered, ‘I should make it luxurious today’, Innis’s mother stood up. Then she quickly took out her purse and shopping cart and left her house. She didn’t even bother. The power of practice that comes out of this suddenness seems to be in the family. Innis did the same the day before.

Unexpectedly, Eba, who had been treated continuously yesterday and today, smiled bitterly.

She wondered if she could intrude on the happy hour at home, but since she had permission, she decided not to mind. Her father told her that she would return late at night after work, so he would have to come before then.

We must respect the time when all family members gather.

She seemed to be worried about Liliana or Stella, and she was a little shy.

“Sister sister!”

“…Yeah, why?”

“Tell me a story!”

Innis was chatting with his sister, Karen, in a friendly way. Suddenly, it seemed as if her cover-rin brother was still a little difficult, putting her distance. Perhaps the guilt of having once burned him was part of that distance.

But Karen didn’t give a damn about her and pampered her sister, her one and only sister.

“The story of saving others, just like how my sister saved me!”

“…!”

She asked to hear her sister’s heroic story, which she always heard from her parents, from her own lips.

Her To her, Innis was not a villain who burned her face, but a hero.

There were no burn marks on his face or in his heart.

There were no scars.

“It’s been a dream since long ago. Listening directly to my sister~ How about it? Are you afraid of demons? Monsters too?”

Innis grinned and nodded his head.

“Of course it’s scary.”

“Really? This is a lie. They all won in the end?!”

“That’s why I won.”

My voice was much more comfortable than before. She continued, stroking the hair of her sister, who was now taller than her own waist.

“I know that others are as scared as I am. That’s why I fought and won.”

“…? What do you mean by that?”

Eva smiled mischievously and sarcastically at her child who tilted her head in confusion.

“Someday you’ll understand. I guess it’s too hard for you yet.”

“Brother is out for a while! I’m talking to my sister right now!”

“That’s right.”

The child clung to Innis again and started another story.

“So, so? How scared were you? What did you look like? Huh? What kind of magic did you win with?”

Aside from that, Iba looked out the window for the background sound as many other questions poured in like rain showers.

Looking at this atmosphere reminded me of wanting to have a family with her.

‘But first I have to survive…’

Reviewing the ordeal I heard today, I blankly enjoyed harmony. It’s a future family, let’s think about it after surviving the present.

It was snowing outside the window.

It was an unusual and mysterious eye that did not fit the season at all.

But maybe it’s after feeling the reunion of her family. For some reason, it felt romantic. It was like snow on a pleasant winter day. Those eyes that bless the world in pure white.

And at the same time, for some reason, it felt ominous.

**

“…Why?”

Wiz muttered as he blankly looked up at the sky. This time, he did not commit the whining that makes his eyes touch his flesh.

She wears eye-blinding magic. But don’t know when it will break through. There is no way that a demon can be stopped by a single magic like this.

“What is it? Snow?”

“Is the real world crazy… Is this also caused by the devil?”

“That’s not serious…”

“Keep out of eyes!”

Wiz exclaimed hastily. Even so, she shook her head hastily on one side.

Where did it go wrong?

The demon was sealed away by the Prophet.

Although he complained about his lack of magic, he thrust his sword into his throat.

The devil worshiper was also subdued without killing.

He couldn’t get rid of the curse at all, but he did delay it because of Lilia.

Look even now, the devil worshiper still chained…

“Huh?”

No.

The worshiper, apparently still breathing, fell to the ground, foaming at his mouth. There was no focus in the pupil, and there was no lifting of the chest with breathing.

He died.

“Why…?”

That’s how he closed his eyes.

It snowed.

The snow is coming to cover the world in white.

The snow has begun to close the eyes of the world.
