Hearing the words mixed with the spring breeze
I couldn’t say anything.
‘What did you just say…?’
Did I hear you right?
I heard what Wi Seol-ah was saying, but it felt like I was rejecting it in my head.
It had to be.
Because it was too bizarre for me to understand.
“What… what did you just say?”
“…”
When asked back, Wi Seol-ah puts on a bitter expression.
Second of all, why are you making such a face?
I should have listened more clearly.
“The thing that brought me back…”
Not someone else, but the one who sent my time back to the past.
“The Heavenly Demon…?”
He is the person who made my life, which was already hitting rock bottom, fall further into the abyss.
He is the master of the Demonic Cult.
In the near future, the existence that will drive the blood of Jungwon.
‘You said you brought me back?’
No matter how much I thought about it, it was an incomprehensible word.
“Gu Confucius…”
“Explain…explain. What do you mean?”
“…”
I asked, grabbing Wiseolah’s shoulder.
Unknowingly, I could see Wi Seol-ah frowning.
Seeing that, I paused and relaxed a little.
“…Calm down…”
“That sounds like a bit difficult. It’s not a calming story.”
“…”
“You know. Why am I living like this now?”
What are you running around for so long?
He was engrossed in raising his level with little sleep.
The reason why I’m walking forward like a dog.
Wisul-ah in front of him would surely know.
“…Old Confucius.”
Kill the Heavenly Demon and stop the bloodbath.
This life was for that purpose.
not for me
If it was for me, I would have been stuck in the mountains and spent my life alone without meeting anyone.
I don’t know if that would have been better.
The reason why I’m rolling like this is after all.
not my serenity.
It is like an apology for those who died for me and lived for me.
Together.
“…Why the Heavenly Demon?”
Ever since Yeonilchun asked me if I thought my return was just a miracle.
always thought
It seems that someone’s will is hidden in my regression.
If the Heavenly Demon sent me back to the past, as Wiseol-ah said.
what i am doing right now.
Should I say that all the situations happening to me were foreseen by the Heavenly Demon or contained the Heavenly Demon’s will?
Thinking like that makes my brain go blank.
“Gu Gongja…”
“Really?”
“…”
“Really… is it the Heavenly Demon who brought me back?”
I wanted to hear you say no.
I’d rather it was a joke. The atmosphere was so heavy that I made a joke.
I wanted to hear that, but
“…that’s right.”
Wi Seol-ah was adamant.
“If it weren’t for me… she would be the only person in this world who could do such a thing to Gongja Gu.”
“…that.”
I bit my tongue in my mouth at Wi Seol-ah’s words.
The saying that if it’s not you, there’s only the Heavenly Demon.
There was a lot of meaning hidden in it.
That means that neither Wisulah nor the Heavenly Demon are human beings.
Like the World Tree, it meant that it was a being high enough to turn the time of others.

together.
It means that he is aware that he is not human.
“…you.”
“I think Gongja Gu already knows.”
“…”
I know.
The fact that Wisul-ah isn’t human. In the past, it may have seemed vaguely familiar.
I could tell for sure now.
After reading my expression, Wi Seol-ah smiles.
Was he making such a funny face?
“What a relief.”
What do you mean by happy?
“…even if you know that. Your attitude is still the same.”
I furrowed my eyebrows at Wi Seol-ah’s words.
“Is there any reason why it would be different?”
At my words, Wi Seol-ah opened her eyes wide for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed even more.
“So. What was it that scared you so much?”
Although I was concerned about the fact that his shoulders seemed to have shrunk a bit.
The conversation I had just before was more important now than that.
“…If it weren’t for you, you’re saying that the Heavenly Demon would have done it, after all, you’re guessing?”
“no. I am sure.”
“why…? Why do you think so?”
The Heavenly Demon died at the hands of Wi Seol Ah.
This is a clear fact.
And it was several days later that I met my death in Meng’s dungeon.
The Heavenly Demon must have died long ago.
There were a lot of problems with the story to say that such a Heavenly Demon brought me back.
But why is Wisul-ah so sure?
Upon hearing my question, Wi Seol-ah avoided looking at me and said this.
“It’s something you have to know.”
“…what does that mean?”
“We are made that way.”
saying that there is no choice but to know. Those words permeate my heart.
“What are you all about?”
“…”
“What relationship do you have with the Heavenly Demon?”
It cannot be said that they are not related.
I could see it
It’s not the level of resemblance, it’s because Wi Seol-ah and the Heavenly Demon look the same as if they were looking in a mirror.
Except for the hair color and eye color, everything is the same.
There are countless coincidences and miracles in the world, but can it really be called a coincidence?
“As for my relationship with her… it’s hard to define.”
“That’s what…”
“It’s just… that it should have been one person, not ‘us’ in the first place.”
“Do I even have to make it difficult for you? You know I’m not very good at it.”
“…I’m sorry, please understand.”
Wi Seol-ah smiles pitifully and grabs my wrist.
I felt frustrated with myself, and my voice sounded a bit harsh.
I also feel it fade a little as Wi Seol-ah holds my wrist.
It’s not completely cold though.
I just put up with it because I didn’t want to ruin the unexpected reunion like this.
‘Is it true that the Heavenly Demon brought me back?’
According to Wiseol-ah, yes.
Doubtful.
Except for the fact that the Heavenly Demon had the power to do so in the first place.
The World Tree, the owner of this world, was confined to a false world in return for returning a human named Yeon Il-cheon.
The world tree was confined, and all records and memories that existed in the world disappeared.
Not even a trace of it ever existed.
If it is true that the Heavenly Demon brought me back.
‘Why can the Heavenly Demon exist?’
What was the Heavenly Demon I saw the day before?
Is it possible to not be punished?
‘And above all.’
If you have that kind of power, you should be able to return yourself.
Why did you bring me back?
In addition, if you listen to Wi Seol-ah.
Wiseolah couldn’t do that, but the Heavenly Demon could.
‘That means…’
Wouldn’t it mean that the power of the Heavenly Demon was stronger than that of Wiseolah?
It’s a story I’ve been thinking about for some time.
The new sword was strong.
I didn’t fight myself, but at least I could see from a distance how strong Wisulah was in his prime.
she is strong
Although it was a warrior strong enough to assert that he could not win if he dared to fight.
‘The Heavenly Demon… Was the Heavenly Demon really weaker than the Divine Sword?’
If you ask me if the being called the Heavenly Demon was weaker than the Divine Sword.
I will never be able to answer.
That existence really seemed different.
So when I heard that the Heavenly Demon had died at the end of the last war.
Along with the tranquility that settled quietly in the corner of my heart, I had a question.
The question is, how could the Heavenly Demon die?
“The more you know about something, the more questions you have while it seems to be solved.”
When you just want to know something.
The world throws out other secrets one by one.
“As if… it was waiting for me to unlock the secret.”
“…”
Wiseol-ah didn’t say anything at my voice that seemed to be cramped.
“Do you have to do that too?”
“…Old Confucius.”
“You say I don’t hate you. Saying I’m sorry Then…”
“I’m sorry…”
Wi Seol-ah apologizes to me once more.
“I want to tell you everything you want to know… everything I know.”
“Then you can just tell me.”
“…”
If you know, if you want to tell me, just tell me.
What does this dog-like world want from me?
What was the Heavenly Demon’s intention to bring me back? It would be nice if I could tell you everything.
Everyone shuts their mouths as if they are going to say something.
“It’s just…”
“I don’t have more time.”
“what?”
The mouth that tried to ask as if forced to ask.
The words of Wi Seol-ah shut the door tightly.
“what?”
A bitter smile appears on Wi Seol-ah’s face after seeing my reaction.
don’t have time?
“What do you mean? No time.”
“…Now I don’t have enough strength left to tell the story that Gongja Gu was curious about. The story about the Heavenly Demon was the limit.”
What are you talking about?
It feels more inaudible than when I talked about the Heavenly Demon earlier.
don’t have time
“…I’m sorry… I couldn’t tell you more.”
“Wait… what are you talking about? Are you saying you want to disappear?”
“I have endured for a long time now. It’s this child’s body, so I can’t overdo it.”
Did you say that the present Wiseol-ah is borrowing the body of the current Wiseol-ah?
“…then who was there originally?”
“I put it on for a while. This child will know someday, but… it’s not the story I want to tell right now.”
“Does that mean you’re really going to disappear?”
“…”
“Answer me…!”
I didn’t answer.
I could hear a silent answer from the laughing face of Wiseol-ah.
suddenly.
Wi Seol-ah’s hand touches my cheek.
cold.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen that expression.”
What kind of expression am I making so that you make that expression?
“great. I can see this face too.”
“How many…how many are left? How many years do you have left?”
“…”
“Or a year? How many months?”
If not, it should have been at least a few days.
If even that wasn’t left.
It’s a real f*cking story.
“The former Gongja…”
“Is this what you said you would regret earlier?”
“It’s not like that… I don’t think you’ll regret that I’m gone…”
“What could I regret more than this?”
“…”
Wiseol-ah was taken aback by the resolute words.
“Will it get better if I go back into my body and rest? Then go in now.”
“…sorry.”
“please…. Stop making those f*cking apologies and tell me how.”
I wanted to scream, but I forced myself to hold it in.
He didn’t even lift his hand from my face.
I only see Wi Seol-ah’s shaking eyes.
What face am I making now?
All I can tell is that it will never look normal.
Wi Seol Ah looked at me and smiled again.
“Don’t just laugh… What are you laughing at in this situation?”
“How can I not laugh?”
The hand touching the cheek moves.
Should I say it feels like being stroked?
“You look at me and worry about me.”
“…then do you even curse?”
“So close. I’m touching your cheeks too.”
“…”
“You know what?”
Damn it, he smiles beautifully. don’t say anything
“This was my dream. than world peace. I would have wished for something like this.”
Your voice shakes.
“Why didn’t I know that?”
“…Then you can do it now. If it doesn’t disappear…”
Wiseol-ah’s eyes widened even more at the thoughtless words.
“It is greed.”
“What if I get a little greedy? Everyone lives greedily.”
I would have lived without being greedy for the rest of my life.
Such was the life of a new sword.
So, what if you live with a little greed even now?
Even though she said that, Wi Seol-ah just shook her head.
“…It’s also a lingering feeling for me.”
Speaking out, Wiseol-ah slowly retrieves the hand that touched my cheek.
“I was very greedy. At one point, I even thought I wanted to take over this child’s body.”
“…”
“Can Confucius say that to me?”
The answer came from my heart.
It never came out of my mouth.
It means that the new sword enters and takes over the body of Wi Seol-ah in the present life.
In a way, I wonder if that’s possible because they’re the same thing.
Can it be said that he will become an existence like a child of Weiss in his present life?
No answer came.
“I thought Confucius wouldn’t be able to answer.”
“…That’s it.”
“So I’m glad. You are that kind of person.”
“…you.”
“This life belongs entirely to this child. I have no place to intervene. That’s why meeting you right now is like regret for me.”
Wi Seol-ah takes a step back.
“The regrets I have are being erased.”
“…regret?”
“If I had met differently from you. The regrets of what it would have been like if it had been a little different. It is being erased by this child.”
“…”
“I know that it was Gongja Gu’s efforts. That’s why it’s more lingering.”
What I tried to be different from back then.
She must have been watching it all.
“So I can’t stay here any longer.”
“What does it matter… If you don’t want to interfere, you can just watch.”
“Not only can’t it be done… but even if you can, you’ll be greedy. The desire to feel that happiness for yourself.”
Two more steps away.
I took one step closer to him.
no. I tried to get closer, but I couldn’t.
“…!”
A small light starts to glow from Wi Seol-ah’s body.
Anxiety creeps in.
For some reason I couldn’t get closer.
******************
The woman looked at the man.
Even in the blurred vision, his face was exceptionally clear.
the man shouts
“you…! wait a minute!”
It is a face that seems to be taken aback by the sudden situation.
You can see that face too.
There were many faces I saw for the first time today.
so it was better
With the swelling emotions killed.
the woman says
“I didn’t want to say goodbye like this. I knew I was running out of time… and I didn’t want to get caught by you if I could.”
all those actions.
I don’t know if my existence itself will be a shackle to him.
That’s the woman’s reason.
“…still. I think it’s fortunate to see them happy that we were able to meet like this in the end.”
The karma of defying fate and twisting cause and effect accumulated in the soul.
If you disappear like this, you will be punished.
The woman was afraid to bear it.
Didn’t show off outwardly.
look into the man’s eyes
It’s a messed up face. Are the tears welling up in your eyes?
Probably not.
Because I’ve never seen him cry.
‘Wouldn’t she have cried when she died?’
Didn’t he cry when the swordsman died?
Even at this time, such youthful jealousy came up.
Remembering that, the woman says.
“I’m not in a position to dare to say this to you… but I have two requests.”
Even while the woman was talking, the man was trying to move somehow.
It’s a pity to try, but you won’t be able to move.
The world is the process of fulfilling karma.
It was amazing just to be able to see it with my own two eyes.
“Please love this child a lot…”
As much as he couldn’t do it for himself. There was no backword attached.
Because I didn’t want to burden him with these words.
another one.
“…call this child by name.”
The man who tried to force himself to move.
Guyangcheon pauses.
never.
Not once did Gu Yang-chun ever call someone by their first name.
It will be the same for everyone, including myself.
I don’t know why it does that.
Let’s make a vague prediction.
I think it’s because I don’t want to have someone precious enough to call me by name.
as well as himself
He was also a very timid man.
Even knowing that, it seems selfish and embarrassing to ask.
At this moment, I thought it might be a request I could do at least.
Even so, without including the women around you.
To spit out a request that only this child asked me to do.
It must be the selfishness that one can bear to oneself.
Passs….
I can feel it crumbling.
The body doesn’t break down.
It will be the feeling that the soul disappears.
It is this feeling that the soul disappears.
What will remain after disappearing?
Whatever it is, he probably won’t be there.
‘That would be… very sad.’
Even in the midst of this, the woman laughed at the thought that came to her mind.
regret still lingers.
Because there were so many things I couldn’t say to him.
I couldn’t say that I missed you.
I couldn’t even finish the most important words.
I liked it.
I dared to love you
The woman couldn’t bear to spit out those few words.
the man who heard this
Because I know how you will feel.
Seeing that he was going to struggle with his own words, he swallowed it in his mouth.
That was enough.
‘I feel sorry for you.’
This is what I said to my young self who was sleeping inside.
There were many things I wanted to tell you.
It seems there wasn’t that much time.
Still, at the same time, it was embarrassing.
you haven’t experienced
The young self who will live a life with him.
With that thought in mind, the woman closed her eyes.
at that time.
Quad Deuk-!
with the sound of something breaking.
A warm hand appeared and embraced the woman.
