165 – Necrosis (完)

I lived a shameful life.

That’s why I’m trying to put an end here.

There was no hesitation in his steps.

Rather, I was impatient.

As if someone is chasing you.

Actually, he was on the run.

He had to run away from hesitation.

The moment the slightest hesitation arises, he will be trapped again, and he will hang around there forever and die.

Of course, it wasn’t just hesitation that followed him.

“Hey.”

Lilia finally let go of his wrist and chased after him.

“If you get caught, you die.”

“That’s an honor! You’re killing me yourself!”

Eva just laughed hahahaha and ran away hard. His basic physical strength is greatly different, but it was close to impossible for Lillia, who did not even have a broom, to catch up with him.

So, she chose to use her skills.

The reason humans were able to develop was because they used tools that could have effects beyond their physical bodies.

Lilia knew how to use the most useful tool currently allowed to humans.

Magic.

I picked up a random tree branch that had fallen around and infused magic into it. What took minutes for others, she said, took seconds for Lilia.

This completes the disposable magic launcher.

Lilia used it to draw her beautiful trajectory.

【Ivy Chain】

The sharp chains entangling her body rushed at Iva. The chains that sneaked up on him with snake-like movements bound his ankles and neck.

But there was a spear in his hand.

A spear imbued with demonic power that can cut and melt any hard object.

Challenge! Chark!

A spear made of insects and flower petals gnawed at and melted the chain. He was an insignificant hindrance to him as he acted to sever all that entangled him.

They were still far apart, and the moment they picked up the branch again, it was clear that the distance would grow even further.

The situation right before Eva reaches her past self without anyone interfering.

His steps were quicker and more cheerful than ever.

The road to victory and struggle, liberation and solidarity, freedom and consideration, and ascension was arduous and arduous.

I never thought the path of giving up would be so light and enjoyable!

Is this what it feels like to fall off a cliff?

“Hey! Hey you bastard! Hey… Huh… Huh…”

Lilia, unable to devise a means to catch him, resorted to her last resort.

“Hey! I told you I’m going to kill you!”

It is none other than the dagger that I always carried with me.

A dagger to pierce your own heart, not his.

“You dare not listen to my master?”

Now the restrictions I placed on myself to take responsibility for him are spinning around.

It became the sharpest guillotine to suppress him.

Lillia raised her dagger as it was.

“…This crazy b*tch is real.”

“I finally got it.”

Couldn’t stab his own heart.

It was Iva’s left hand that stabbed instead of the heart.

His hand, which reached it faster than ever before, quickly stopped her.

Looking back, the traces of the wings shimmered and disappeared. She held her hand where her sword was stuck, and wrapped her arms around his waist, binding him all over her body.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing!”

Lilia growled.

There was a mountain of things I still didn’t understand, but I realized that this place was in the past and that what Iba was about to do was a very complicated suicide.

To kill one’s past self and destroy everything one has built up to now as a pile of sand.

In the end, it is negative.

A denial of the life he has walked and a denial of everything he has built up so far.

Of course, the bond that had been made with Lilia also existed.

“Lilia, don’t stop me. Please.”

“If I was crazy, I wouldn’t have stopped you. But now I’m sooooo! Normal, so I have to stop you.”

Eva turned her gaze to her knees. In the process of chasing her, she fell and hurt her knee badly. A scar appeared on the leg that had been white and thin.

“Something’s wrong. Please tell me. If it can be fixed, I’ll try to fix it. Huh?”

“It’s not your problem.”

“Then what’s wrong?”

“Can’t you see it now?”

Eva continued, sending a butterfly to her lap.

“I’m ruining your life.”

In the end, Iba collapsed.

How many people’s lives are ruined because of her own actions. When she imagined it, she laughed.

The moment he went mad with his rage and killed those he didn’t have to kill, he lost all trust in himself.

From noble mtl dot com

In his previous life, he remembered the massacre of the entire mercenary group in a fit of rage.

Come to think of it, were only the guilty people killed at that time?

In Eva’s head, she counted the ones that had an exceptionally small body among the corpses she killed.

Ah, you’ve already killed a child.

You killed the weakling you promised to protect if your eyes turned upside down.

Eva gradually got to know herself, and gradually hated herself.

Like a person pushed in zero gravity, hatred moved towards the darkness without stopping and without end.

Those who have already ruined and will ruin in the future.

No matter how much I expanded my thinking, the conclusion did not change. Her hopes always led to hardships, and at the end of those hardships, she could easily imagine what she would become.

You saved Lumia? What does it matter? Anyway, the moment I become the demon king, they are all people I will kill with my own hands. Salvation was a moment of joy, and what awaited us in the future were sins that would follow us forever.

It was a shameful life, and the shame continues to increase without erasing it.

“Lilia, you know what? If you hadn’t met me, you’d be much happier than you are now. I know.”

Iva knows her through her books. She is a woman who does what she wants to do confidently and happily without clinging to anyone. She knows that boldness and she knows her freedom.

She knows her who might not have been in the position of shedding tears tied to one person like this.

Because he knows, he regrets it even more now. Regret bites his tail again and again and spits out the worst assumptions.

Recalling hope is a good medicine, but it did not have much effect on those who had already taken too much.

Even when I think of good things, I get sick of regrets that come up.

“And you wouldn’t know. The feeling of watching people’s lives ruin because of me in real time. Because you’re such a pretty, amazing, and wonderful person. You’re a precious person who’s different from me since birth.”

Until this moment, Eva was jealous of Lilia. She always was, and still is. She was disgusted with her own inferiority complex.

The moment he hated even her proud inferiority complex, he lost the right to love himself.

Inferiority was everything to him.

“Lilia, you never regretted it? You never regretted taking responsibility for me? If not, don’t stop me.”

He said clingingly.

“Please.”

Dude.

Tears fell on the back of Lillia’s hand. It was his, it was hers.

“…If you ask me if I regret it.”

Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, Lillia forced herself back into tears.

“That’s right. I regret it a little bit. After meeting you, all of my life plans were twisted. Even my taste.”

Lilia smiled.

“Raise your head and look at me.”

“…Why.”

“Kiss me right now.”

Iva laughed at that too. It was a much more emotional laugh than she had been laughing earlier.

“Kiss me. I want you.”

When Eva hesitated, she pushed her face. A breath came in. Weak floral scent. Feeling it, and nervous about the touch of her other person, she stopped right in front of her lips.

“…”

Eventually, Eva lowered her head a little bit of her. The distance between the two, where only a small gap remained, narrowed, and their lips overlapped easily.

He took a quick hit and immediately removed her head.

There was a smile on Lilia’s face when she entered.

“Now look. I’m happy now. Even if I regret it, this will work for me as an eternal truth.”

Lillia continued her words as she grabbed him by the collar.

“I could have been happier? Who are you to judge that? That’s right, I don’t know you. You don’t know how hard it must be. But you don’t know me either? What makes me happier and I’m doing it now?”

The feelings of Lilia, who didn’t even breathe, came in front of her breathless Iva.

“Originally, people don’t understand each other. That’s why it’s attractive. What’s the fun if you know everything without knowing anything? It’s better to know what I don’t know and adapt to it. Parents and children do too. Let’s face it. More like you and me.”

Parents. Monia came to mind. Was it because he knew that he would come to me when he was having a hard time? He doesn’t know Because others are always unfamiliar.

“That’s right. It’s just as you said. My life was ruined when I met you. But what is that? If I accidentally go back to the past like you now, I won’t give up on holding you back. Rather, you’ll tell me. ‘Later I’m going to pick up some crazy boy. I’ll teach you how to control it.’ Then I will talk about you, and I will be happy to think of you again.”

The tears I had suppressed began to flow. Water droplets grazed the corners of her mouth drawn in an arc. It was love and hate.

“Don’t get me wrong. You ruined my life. You gave me that much happiness. The destroyer I dyed. The destroyer I will love and hate.”

Love and hate eventually became love. You have now crossed a river of no return.

“So take responsibility. As much as I took care of you, you should take care of me too. Okay?”

“Lilia.”

Leaving behind her sincerity, he also confessed her sincerity.

“I don’t want you to die because of me. I don’t want the end of your happiness to be a sacrifice because of me. I want you to leave me and be happy alone.”

Who takes care of his own runaway. I know the answer. Knowing that, he didn’t hesitate.

The person who will stop her becoming the Demon King is not even a hero, but a witch.

A witch who chained her own heart.

The name of the emotion that was suppressed deepest is selfishness.

“I hate being the cause of your death.”

It’s not just Lillia. He didn’t want everyone he loved to be his signature.

So he tried to cut the cause.

“Don’t let me see that moment. Give me a chance to get your life back right.”

She knew it was selfish and said it.

“Iva.”

Lilia was the same.

“Don’t get me wrong. This is not consideration. It’s all my selfishness.”

She

Knew that she was selfish.

“Don’t die for me. Don’t die for me to be happy.”

They fought over death to win each other’s happiness.

You were the one who reached the end of chasing your own happiness.

After delving into one’s self, what was reached was the same mind as others.

There wasn’t a word behind it, but at that moment, Lilia and Eva understood each other for a very short time.

You must have felt the same way as me.

A heart that began with a single word and was formed without words.

At the end of strange and strange words, necrosis, they knew each other.

“…Selfish.”

“You’re selfish.”

That we can’t understand each other until the end.

This unanswered conflict will only repeat itself endlessly.

Like the bridle of hope, it continues, endlessly.

**

The two held hands and approached a child.

The feelings of the two facing each other in parallel without an answer being given.

We came to a very simple conclusion: ‘Let’s move and see.’

Wandering around aimlessly.

Is it because the body remembers, even though it had no purpose? The two of them reached each other in front of a child.

It was in front of a child reading ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’.

“…Who is it?”

“Ha…”

The cracks that were closed made the traces he left behind faint.

Like a night’s dream, only those feelings remained and the incident was killed and eliminated.

It was the same with memories.

Eva’s only memory was a book. He is not a monster who remembers dreams from years ago, so he forgot them like a dream from one day.

But memories are truly mysterious. With just a little bit of opportunity, the torn and tangled pieces heal and float beyond consciousness.

Here now.

The unknown death of the owner Innis left behind, necrosis, remained here and caused a strange incident, necrosis.

When Iba was young. He remembered the entire day just before his master’s death, like someone’s playful dream.

Also, he’s here now, who he ran into.

The memory of the past is surprisingly clear, and now Iba realized what she should do in front of this child.

“Hey kid.”

Some time after jumping into mercenary work, Eva clearly remembered an incident in which a strange boy taught her a skill that would be used for the rest of her life. I forgot the person who told me about it, but technology stayed with me until I died.

“Isn’t it hard to be a mercenary? I’ll tell you good things from now on.”

It is a very interesting life.

Eva laughed in dismay.

After suffering from exhaustion at the end of her hopes, when she saw a child here, Eva felt her hopes again.

“Look carefully and remember. Even if I forget, don’t forget this.”

I hope you have a better life than me.

Don’t get me wrong.

May you live right.

She prayed and took out her spear.

What we give is to this child who will open up the future.

To pay tribute to all those who walked the road with me.

The window moved. At first it was a straight line, but it quickly bent and drew a beautiful curve like scattering flowers. It fluttered, trumpeted, and moved the wind around it.

The wind moved, and their bodies faded.

It was the process of repairing the crack. They were expelling those who shouldn’t be in this world.

But Eva didn’t stop.

The wind raised by the window carried Lilia’s scent and tickled the tip of her child’s nose. A faint floral scent.

The body became translucent, and the movement of the spear became clearer.

The child, who had been watching the movement as if possessed, opened her mouth.

“What kind of spear is this?”

Eba smiled and informed me. I’ll forget it anyway, but I hope to think of it again someday.

“Flower spearmanship.”

The original name wasn’t Rose. Eva just remembered.

After that, the two men and women disappeared.

Suddenly, the two men and women were forgotten even in the child’s mind. She even forgot the name of the technology.

However, only that trace of her remained, and the child imitated the spearmanship in his own way.

She was the prototype of the Rose Spear that would later be created in collaboration with Spica.

The child will forget all the oddities that happened to her on this day. But she will remember someday.

She talks about all the weird deaths and incidents that have happened to her.

Someday.

Chalk.

The window moved. With the smell of flowers.
