Episode 141 Talk later. Story of a relationship (2)
「Fourth Destiny」.
Lufthagen, the best port on the winter continent.
When travelers visiting the place were introduced to the inn by local residents, the residents did not hesitate to recommend ‘Siren’s Rest’ as the best.
Run by two beautiful sisters, this place offers the best relaxation you can’t find anywhere else.
Travelers who visited Siren’s Rest Area said that they could rest not only their bodies but also their tired souls.
And even today, the Sirens of Lufthagen were healing weary travelers with their beautiful tunes.
Ahhh-.
The end of the performance.
Lucia’s clear humming tickled the ears of those looking for the Siren’s resting place.
At the same time, the song ended, leaving a deep lingering feeling.
Wow!
Soon thunderous applause broke out.
Hwiik-.
Lucia came down from the stage set up on one side of the inn, receiving applause, whistles, and praise from people.
And there were people watching it.
“Huh… “The rumors were true.”
“So, I heard you can see sirens if you go to Lufthagen… … .”
“A song is a song, but… … .”
“She certainly has the beauty of a siren.”
Neatly dressed young male travelers.
Their eyes lit up when they looked at Lucia.
“Shall we go and have a chat?”
“oh! “He who is courageous wins beauty!”
“I went oh… … .”
The moment the man was about to get up from his seat.
widely-.
A beer glass was placed roughly on the table.
“what!”
“What!”
As the beer foam splashed everywhere, the men’s expressions were clearly crumpled.
The voice that came with him.
“Son, the Mac you ordered has arrived.”
The person who placed the beer glass on the men’s table was a blond young man.
The travelers got up in tears at his rude attitude.
“What are you doing… … !”
No, I tried to get up.
Until I saw four giants standing up from one table and crowding behind the blond young man.
“What are you doing? “What did you say just now?”
“Are you dissatisfied with our master?”
“Where does this guy keep his eyes open like that?”
“Don’t hesitate!” “Pull out the ink from your eyes and throw it away.”
The rugged men created an intimidating atmosphere.
At this, the stunned travelers sat down with awkward faces.
“Oh, no… “That’s not it.”
“Okay, I’ll have a nice drink.”
Travelers sipping beer with their eyes closed.
And it was that moment.
A slender woman who had burrowed her way through the lumpy men immediately tugged on the blond young man’s ear.
“Carry!”
“Ahh!”
“You caused an accident again!”
The ears of the master they served were caught, but the rugged giants did not say anything.
No, I looked away and pretended not to see it.
After all, the person who pulled Carrie’s ear was none other than the person their owner longed for so much.
Carrie, who was holding her ear, looked like she was crying.
“Re, Lady Lucia… Ah, it hurts.”
“Are you going to keep doing this? “Why are you harassing our customers?”
“You’re harassing me! This is a legitimate defensive battle! “How can I stay silent when those bastards are looking at Lady Lucia!”
Even though she was being dragged by her ears, Carrie said everything she wanted to say.
Lucia, who had moved away to avoid the crowd, let go of Carrie’s ear.
“Ah… … .”
Lucia looked sullenly at Carrie, who was rubbing her ear as if she was in pain.
The kid who he used to look down on has now grown to the point where he can look up at him.
‘Have you grown up again? ‘When did you grow up like this?’
Balanced body and tall appearance.
I felt like I could no longer call him Boy Carrie, but a real young man.
‘Now that I think about it, did you say that there’s a girl who’s been chasing you these days because she likes Carrie?’

I heard it’s the wife of a male writer… … .
Did he feel eyes staring at him?
Carrie asked with puzzled eyes.
“I… Lady Lucia?”
Lucia, who came to her senses at Carrie’s call, blushed slightly and shouted.
“Why did you come again today!”
“yes? I came here every day… … .”
“Anyway, if I don’t have any business, I’ll be leaving.”
“There it is! “It’s business!”
“… What?”
“ah… that is.”
Carrie looked uncertain at the sharp tone of voice.
With a face like that of a puppy that had lost its mother, he took out two tickets from his pocket and muttered.
“that… tomorrow… I heard there is a performance by a famous theater company… .”
“… … .”
“Would you please go see it with me?”
Carrie closed her eyes tightly, mustered up her courage, and politely held out her ticket with both hands.
He tried to suppress his pounding heart.
But even after a while, there was no answer from Lucia.
He slightly opened his eyes and smiled awkwardly as he saw Lucia staring at him.
“Oh that… Well, there’s nothing we can do if you’re busy. “It’s okay.”
His mouth said it was okay, but a deep disappointment flashed through his eyes.
‘Oh, is it there yet?’
I’ve been chasing Lucia for years, but this was the first time she asked me out on a date.
Just as Carrie was about to hastily collect the votes, wondering if she was impatient.
Lucia’s sullen voice was heard.
“If I say no, what will you do with the ticket?”
“Ahaha! Well, rice isn’t that expensive… If you just throw it away… … .”
“okay? “I was going to go with you if it was expensive.”
“… yes?”
Carrie, whose thoughts stopped, blinked and then shouted urgently.
“Oh, no! expensive! This is very expensive! “It was hard to get it!”
Lucia smiled slightly as she looked at Carrie who was excited.
At the same time, he took away one of the tickets Carrie held out and spoke calmly.
“I’m going with you because it’s a waste of tickets. “Don’t misunderstand.”
“Oh, no problem! Don’t misunderstand! sure!”
“Tomorrow? “What time do you want to see me?”
“Oh, it’s 7 p.m. “I’ll come take you to the store!”
“okay. See you tomorrow then. and… Also, if you get caught harassing a customer in our store… “I know I’ll get scolded!”
“yes! yes yes!”
Carrie nodded eagerly.
Lucia leaves him behind and goes back into the inn.
Carrie looked at that figure blankly.
and then.
“ah… … .”
His shoulders trembled, and soon a loud roar broke out.
“Hey!”
Carrie bounced around in her seat with extreme joy.
How loud would the voice be, enough to make a passerby turn around in surprise?
“young master?!”
“What’s going on!”
Surprised by Carrie’s screams, his subordinates came running out of the inn.
Carrie hugged those subordinates.
“Ehehehe, ehehehe!”
“Do you, master?”
The Bunt family members could not help but tilt their heads as they watched Carrie going crazy with joy.
“Hahaha, the world is so beautiful!”
“… … .”
Even though the world looked at her like she was crazy, Carrie was so happy.
My first date with Lady, who I considered my first and last love.
After a long unrequited love,
Little by little, signs of becoming the bud of perfect love began to appear.

「Fifth Destiny」.
It’s too early in the evening for night to come.
A small dwarf drove a carriage across a field of ripe golden grain.
Many, many, many-.
He lifted his shoulders to the sound of the horses’ hooves and savored the rich autumn atmosphere.
How long did such a peaceful time last?
A huge city appeared on the other side of the carriageway.
And the long line of people waiting to enter the city.
The dwarf saw this and his eyes filled with happiness.
“It seems like the bird I haven’t seen has gotten bigger!”
Siron used to be a small village, but has now become a huge city.
The dwarf drove the carriage towards Siron’s main gate.
Many, many, many-.
Numerous eyes focused on the carriage as it moved forward, ignoring the long line.
When the carriage driven by the dwarf arrived at the main gate, the guards who recognized it became busy.
“Now, step aside for a moment!”
“Make a way!”
Those who were being inspected were pushed to the side in confusion.
And a carriage driven by a dwarf passed leisurely between them.
In such a situation, the person who had just been inspected expressed his dissatisfaction.
“What are you doing now? Some people have to wait in line for hours to be inspected! “Why are you letting me go?”
The guard clicked his tongue, wondering if he had experienced such complaints from passers-by once or twice.
“Tsk, tsk, don’t tell me where you go and do business. “It’s because I don’t have eyes to see that way.”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you not see the pattern drawn on the carriage earlier?”
“Eh? pattern?”
“That carriage from earlier was the carriage of the Tower of Desire!”
A passerby who was dissatisfied with the guard’s words twitched his shoulders.
“Ah, was that the carriage from the Tower of Desire?”
The fact that Sailon, which was just a corner of the countryside, was able to become a city of this size was entirely thanks to the Tower of Desire.
The support they received from the three major merchants of the Autumn Continent and their research into sacred law that could be called a revolution.
The people who came to get it created the city of Cyron that it is today.
So, it was natural that Siron’s guards openly favored the Tower of Desire carriage.
The guard’s words did not end there.
“And you saw the dwarf sitting in that carriage earlier.”
“But.”
“That is Mr. Douglas!”
“Douglas… … ?”
A passerby who was pondering the name Douglas suddenly remembered something and was startled.
“More, Douglas?! You mean Master Douglas?!”
“That’s right, man!”
The four masters who currently support the Tower of Desire.
Here in Cyron, the four masters of the Desire Tower had a reputation and recognition comparable to, or even greater than, that of the Lord of Cyron.
The guard shouted again as he saw the passerby flinching.
“If you are so dissatisfied with having opened the way for such a person first, then you should give up any thoughts of doing business in Cyron! “No one would buy something like that!”
“Boo, I’m not complaining! doesn’t exist! Absolutely not!”
“Hmm! good. next!”
A dissatisfied passer-by became a beggar and hurriedly passed through the main gate.
Meanwhile, Douglas’ carriage passed through the main gate and continued on its way.
The citizens of Cyron, who recognized the Desire Tower carriage and Douglas, slightly bowed their heads towards him as a sign of respect.
If Lois had seen the poor people in the corner being treated like this, she would have commented on the difference in times.
The place where Douglas arrived, receiving such a warm welcome, was the headquarters of the Tower of Desire.
Douglas naturally entered the magnificent building, which was completely different from the tower that looked like a pile of scrap metal in the past.
Someone who saw him came rushing over.
“Oh, are you here?”
“What about the others?”
“You are waiting.”
“I was the last one?”
“yes.”
“Sniff, that bird-headed bitch is going to give me some shit.”
“Haha, I will guide you.”
“That’s it. Would I get lost in my own home? “You go and do some work.”
“All right.”
Douglas, who bit the tooth that came to meet him, made fun of his short legs.
The place he was heading to was the second highest floor of the tower.
A place where the important matters of the Tower of Desire are discussed.
When Douglas opened the door and entered, the first thing that greeted him was the delicious smell of food.
and.
“dwarf! “Why are you so late?”
As expected, Erica’s nagging continued.
Douglas ignored this and walked quickly into the room.
There was a long table prepared with food and five chairs.
Douglas naturally sat down in his seat.
So Victor, Douglas, Erica, and Floria sat facing each other.
One unusual thing was that although there were five chairs, the fancy chair at the head of the table was empty.
“You’re here.”
“thank you for your effort.”
Victor and Floria welcomed Douglas.
Once a year, on the anniversary of Dexter’s death, the four masters gather together for a meal.
This was a fairly famous story in the Tower of Desire.
As soon as Douglas sat down, Erica started chattering.
“Let’s stop doing this. “I wonder what this is like on the anniversary of the death of an old man who died a long time ago.”
Erica grumbled, but everyone else in the room knew.
Although she grumbled every year, she never once disliked this position and that it was Erica who came before anyone else and waited for someone else.
Douglas chuckled at this.
“Who cried for three days and three nights when the old man died?”
“… … .”
Erica pouted her lips at Douglas’ words.
Floria also smiled and said.
“Stop and eat. “The food is getting cold.”
“… Dwarf shitbag bastard. Let’s eat this and see.”
“I’m sick of hearing that every year, bitch. “Make up some new threats!”
Erica raised her head and raised her spoon.
Then, while looking at the soup, I muttered softly.
“Wheat barley soup…” … . “This is what the old man liked.”
Erica’s muttering made everyone think of the head of the squadron tower with a wrinkled face.
Dexter.
In the past fall, he returned from the continental castle tower academic festival, and contrary to what his therapist said that he would not live long, he lived for a whopping 10 years and passed away.
The therapist said it was a miracle that Dexter lasted so long, but his students knew.
That was not a miracle, but persistence.
In order not to miss the opportunity left behind by someone else.
In addition, Dexter did his best to lay the foundation for his youngest disciple and owner of the empty pagoda to return one day.
He died with a carefree expression while his four other disciples watched.
As everyone thought of Dexter, their eyes naturally turned to the empty head table.
This is a chair that Douglas handcrafted for the owner of the tower who will visit one day.
As everyone looked at the empty seat in silence, Victor cautiously opened his mouth.
“… “Look, friends.”
“friends? what? Victor, what’s wrong? Disgusting.”
Erica looked at Victor with dark eyes.
Even under those gazes, Victor was very serious.
“I’ve been thinking about it, will the tower lord come back while we’re still alive?”
The others’ shoulders trembled at those words.
“hmm… well? Maybe so, maybe not. “One thing is certain: Floria has the highest chance of seeing him among us.”
Floria’s eyes widened at Erica’s words.
“Why me?”
“Elves live long.”
“The Join people also live quite long lives!”
“Hehe, yes, yes. I hope you live long enough to see him. “This dwarf, who will soon be leaving, will go first and wish you good luck.”
“You just said that… I will definitely tell you this when I see Lois later. “He might even be able to summon the soul of the dead Dexter.”
“Pfft, Floria… Wow, that was a mistake. Please forgive me.”
When the situation suddenly became serious due to a remark he made without thinking, Victor organized the situation.
“Let’s do it this way.”
“what?”
“What if He comes while we are all alive? Maybe one of us will be left alone to see Him?”
“It sounds terrible, but… “I can’t deny it.”
“So, those who enter the coffin first, let’s prepare something for those who will be left behind and then leave.”
“What are you preparing?”
“For example, something to relieve his anger… Like a safety device?”
“hmm… … .”
Everyone nodded with serious faces at Victor’s suggestion.
Victor’s suggestion was certainly quite good.
It is unclear which of the four will remain until the end.
If the person who leaves first leaves behind such a safety device, the burden on those who remain will definitely be reduced.
In particular, Floria, who had a reputation for having a long lifespan, welcomed him with open arms.
“great!”
“Good!”
“I agree too!”
So everyone’s opinions gathered in favor.
Erica pushed the dish in front of Douglas.
Douglas’ eyes widened at the sudden kindness.
“What?”
“Eat a lot of good things and live a long life.”
“… … .”
At that story, Douglas pushed the plate towards Floria.
Floria pushed it back towards Victor, who then passed it to Erica.
A plate spinning on the table.
The situation at the table was extremely confusing, as if the conflicting feelings of wanting Lois to come back and wanting her not to come were mixed together.
And the empty chair just watched the four’s actions.
