[EP.186] Hwa Shining Star
In a dark room with blackout curtains.
The smell of flesh mixed with a vaguely musty smell.
The floor was a mess with clothes, lunch boxes, etc. not organized at all.
There was a woman covered in a blanket on that bed.
The unkempt hair was tangled and scattered here and there, and the eyes revealed through the hair were not even in proper focus.
“K-Rash, are you really Krashu?”
Perhaps because Krasch came in the form of a woman, Mary spoke in gibberish.
When I heard that Krashu had arrived, I opened the door without thinking, but when I walked in, it was so different.
Krasch stared at her blankly and then opened his mouth.
“Yes, since you came to my room, I also came to do the same.”
Mary’s shoulders twitched.
Only Krasch knows that he found Krasch’s room.
With that, she was convinced that the person in front of her was the real Krashu, and she bit her lip.
Because the moment I let go of my lips, I felt like tears would fall.
“merry.”
Crashu put the lunch box Karandis gave him on the desk and approached her.
“What did Sigrin say?”
The day she met Krasch, Mary decided to leave Sigrin forever.
So, even if I had to fight with Sigrin now, there was no reason for me to get ruined like this again.
But Mary was visibly and horribly broken.
What that means is that during the argument with Sigrin, he made a remark that could have brought Mary down.
Mary’s eyes darted back and forth.
There was even deep sorrow in her eyes.
“… … “Even if I tell you, Krasch doesn’t know.”
I do not know.
As soon as Krasch heard those words, he realized that Sigrin had brought up the story before his return.
Mary doesn’t know that Krasch has regressed like them.
So, I thought it would be meaningless to tell Krasch.
Krasch looked at Mary for a moment.
This is because Crasch knew one more thing that the current Mary did not know.
Currently, the Arthur who exists in Mary’s memories is no longer in this world.
This was something that not only Merry, but even Sigrin did not know about yet.
And this fact could have been a card that would definitely destroy Mary.
In her heart, Sigryn may have collapsed, but Arthur will still remain.
“Is that so?”
Krasch calmly responded to Mary’s remarks and pulled out a chair and sat down.
Mary’s eyes shook wildly when she saw that.
“I-I’m sorry. Krasch came all this way thinking of me. I said something like this… … .”
Then he hurriedly apologized, showing his weakness.
Mary was extremely anxious, fearing that Krasch would hate her.
That’s right, because Krasch was the only one who supported him.
Krashu is much higher than Sigrin in Mary’s heart, so she is afraid that she may have offended him.
Mary has lived her entire life as a knight who helps others.
I had no idea that such characteristics, deeply rooted in my roots, would disappear even after my return.
“No, there are stories where you can’t do anything.”
Krasch smiled kindly, as if telling him not to worry.
“You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. Mary, it’s your choice. “The reason I came here was because I heard that you locked yourself in your room after your fight with Sigrin.”
He said he didn’t come to interrogate, but purely out of concern.
The moment Mary heard those words, she felt moved for some reason.
Even Mary, who is locked in her room, knows very well what is happening outside.
She knows full well that Sigrin’s personality will definitely push her into a hole.
Because these are things I have seen many times around her.
Of course, I never dreamed that Sigrin’s bad habits would end up turning towards me.
In any case, Mary could easily see that her own evaluation had sunk to an unprecedented level.
Perhaps that was why Crasch’s words of concern penetrated deep into Mary’s heart.
It was because he seemed to be the only one who recognized himself on a completely deserted, remote island.
He must have known that his own evaluation was so bad.
He even came to me in the form of a woman and worried about me.
“Ugh, huh.”
Before she knew it, tears were falling from Mary’s eyes.
Crasch saw this and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
“Why are you crying?”
“sorry. Suddenly tears came out… … .”
She was already mentally and physically broken, and when Krasch wiped away her tears, she cried even more.
It was the saddest few minutes since she cried.
Seeing that her tears had finally stopped, Krasch poured her a glass of water and handed her to her.
As Mary gulped down the water she was given, she finally felt like she could breathe.

At the same time, I felt very ashamed.
How could a grown adult cry so loudly?
Moreover, he had never cried like this even when he was active as a singer.
As she lowered her head, her face getting hot, Crasch smiled slightly.
“Did you all cry?”
“Yes, yes.”
Mary, who had become very timid, answered while fidgeting with her feet.
I felt like I wanted to hide in a rat hole right now.
“Yes, you seem to feel a little refreshed.”
After saying those words, Krasch got up as if he was going to leave.
“Now, wait a minute!”
At that moment, Mary, startled, hurriedly grabbed Crasch’s collar.
It was because I didn’t want to send Krasch off like this.
Mary felt a little more at ease when she was around him.
If he left like this, I would be lost in anxiety again.
Crashu, who was caught by Merry, looked back at Merry.
Then Mary flinched under his gaze and rolled her eyes back and forth.
“Well, well, Joe, can we stay together a little longer? Ha, I have a story or something I want to tell you.”
“Aren’t these things that shouldn’t be told?”
Mary pursed her lips at Crasch’s remark, thinking of her.
I felt his warm heart and my heart swelled.
How can you think of a useless person like yourself like this?
It was a completely different treatment from Sigrin, who always thought of him as a loser.
“are you okay! If it’s Krashu, if it’s Krashu, it’s okay to talk about it!”
Therefore, in order to repay his warm heart, Mary shouted in a loud voice.
My voice became louder because I was afraid that my true feelings might not be conveyed to him.
Crasch, who was looking at Mary like that, soon sat down next to Mary with his butt down.
“Okay, then. “If that makes you feel more comfortable, tell me it’s okay to talk about it.”
Krasch’s kind words made Mary feel like her messed up stomach was being filled again.
Mary began her story timidly, feeling as if she would suffer for the rest of her life if she did not receive this sensation.
In the story, the name A was added instead of Arthur.
A was always at the forefront, wielding a spear, and was her most reliable ally, and sometimes felt like a rival.
How could it be that they were always competing for first and second place, sparking a sense of rivalry?
Maybe that’s why sometimes Mary was jealous of A.
Because I swung my spear even more with the sole intention of defeating him.
However, the gap with A gradually widened.
The days when I hated it and followed it even more desperately.
Mary’s body, which is a body of all things, eventually made a huge mistake in destroying the world due to repeated training and strain.
The moment when a life-threatening crisis approaches.
It was A who appeared at that time.
Mary’s heart was deeply shaken when she saw him falling after struggling to save her, even though he was in worse shape than she was.
I ended up harboring feelings of love for him, whom I had considered both an ally and a rival.
But A was Sigrin’s lover.
I was trying hard to hold back the feeling that I kept leaning towards Arthur.
She faced him to put an end to her feelings.
To receive rejection from him along with an honest confession.
But for some reason, A suddenly asked for a sparring match.
For some reason, the sparring started on a moonlit night.
Mary felt like she was getting to know A more and more deeply during that sparring match.
A was strong.
However, as strong as he was, he was putting in a lot of effort over and over again.
When the sparring was over, Mary knelt in front of him.
Because I knew that I could not defeat him.
A said to Mary, who was out of breath.
“Mary, I want to protect this world.”
Those words felt like a glimpse into his honest heart for the first time.
“And I want to be with you in that world.”
His next words greatly disturbed Mary’s heart.
The moment when she inadvertently made her own confession first instead of answering.
A smiled and accepted her confession.
Fortunately, Sigrin also accepted her to become A’s lover.
He said that it was thanks to A’s persuasion of Sigrin several times in advance.
Mary, who felt A’s deep feelings, pledged to live the rest of her life for him.
But a few days ago.
Mary heard the story of the lightning storm through Sigrin.
“Do you know that Arthur truly likes you?”
With eyes full of sneer and contempt, Sigrin put Merry down.
“The reason Arthur chose you was because your talents were useful. “You’re the best as a meat shield!”
If it were the original Mary, she would have denied that statement outright.
Because she was the spear of an empire with high self-esteem, a new spear.
But she was different now.
She is a woman whose heart was ripped out a long time ago and turned into a mess.
My self-esteem was shattered overnight, and now I felt isolated and alone in the world.
At a time when loyalty to Sigrin was abandoned and even Arthur’s love was uncertain.
Sigrin’s direct remarks were an irreversible wedge for her.
“Do you think Arthur likes you the way you are now? If you’re not Shinchang, you’re useless! Just stay in a corner, honor Arthur, and wait for him like that for the rest of your life! “I wonder if Arthur will find you!”
“No, no. “Arthur, Arthur!”
As Merry screamed, Sigrin looked at her with an exhausted expression, pouring out all his emotions.
Merry was no longer reflected in Sigrin’s eyes.
Instead, she turned away, leaving her worthless.
She was so damaged that she couldn’t be used anywhere anymore.
Something that has lost its value must be thrown away.
So Sigrin walked out of the room.
“Ha, really, you’re a useless bitch. “At least I can’t even ask you to conceive a cursed child.”
Sigrin opened the door with words that struck Mary’s heart.
“I should have just let him be executed then.”
Seeing Sigrin just leave, Mary completely broke down that day.
I locked myself in my room and never went out.
“It’s all my responsibility… … . “If I hadn’t been useless, if I had tried harder, it would have been okay.”
Krasch, who had heard the whole story from Mary, remained silent.
‘You said only the right things.’
In Krasch’s opinion, Sigrin’s words were not wrong.
[ Come to your senses before your face shows your agreement. ]
Then, Crimson Garden sensed Krasch’s presence outside the dormitory window and spoke.
Crasch finally came to his senses and adjusted his expression.
“Don’t be too concerned about people who see people as a loser.”
Mary looked at Crasch with shaking eyes.
“The important thing is yourself. “The Mary Diana I saw wasn’t that weak of a person.”
Krasch laughed lightly and pointed outside.
“In the first place, other than me, how many people out there do you think you are being pushed to?”
Mary’s strength is such that no one can criticize her.
In fact, other than Krasch, there are very few people at Laheln Academy who can properly compete with Mary.
“Laheln Academy is where only those who fly and crawl gather. “If you, the person at the top, say you are useless, then there are only a few useful people in the world.”
Krasch raised his hand and slowly untangled Mary’s hair.
Mary’s body flinched every time the touch touched her.
“So, stop blaming yourself.”
Krasch slightly lowered her upper body with her hair loose.
Then he put his elbows on his knees, rested his chin, and smiled.
“I will beat up all the people who put you down.”
That smile was so alluring that it even completely erased Sigrin’s memories for a moment.
At the same time, it was a moment when Mary’s heart, which had been like a tangled thread, was unraveled all at once.
The person who unraveled the thread was none other than the person in front of me.
“So come out quickly.”
Mary’s eyes began to turn red again.
“You don’t belong here.”
With tears streaming down his face, Crasch got up and stood in front of her.
“If it’s really hard.”
Mary raised her head after Krashu and looked him in the face.
The sunlight that came in through the curtains met Crasch’s face and shone softly.
“Caw!”
The moment when the wind blowing outside blew the blackout curtains, following the sound of a crow coming from somewhere.
The bright sunlight made Crashu shine brighter than ever.
It was a light so bright that it felt like a star.
“Just follow me.”
The star-like light shone brighter than Arthur.
Jeok-
And above Mary’s head.
It was the moment when the sound of the final dial cracking rang out.
