◈ Episode 151 Public Dalian (1)
Sedina Rosshen walked the streets of the festival alone.
Normally, she would have spent the day helping Ludger with his work in the teachers’ office.
Rudger told me not to go to work for the day of the festival, so I was forced to walk around with tears in my eyes.
It was because there was an order from Ludger to enjoy the festival.
She had no friends or close friends, so she wandered around alone, but Sedina didn’t care.
Because I’m used to being alone.
‘But enjoy the festival. I don’t know what to do.’
Why did Mr. Rudger give such a esoteric order?
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind.
‘No way, this is an ordeal for me?!’
Lightning flashed over Sedina’s head, like someone who had a great realization.
Why did Ludgar, the First Order, ask him to enjoy the festival?
Why did he tell me to do the most ‘confident’ thing?
‘The teaching that you should be able to do what you don’t want to do!’
There is no one in the world who can live doing only what he wants to do.
Life is always hard, so people live by being forced to do things they don’t want to do.
But here people are divided into two categories.
People who don’t like it and people who don’t like it on the inside but still do it well.
Sedina realized.
Rudgar wants himself to be the latter.
‘iced coffee! As expected of the First Order!’
Sedina, trembling with emotion, decided to faithfully carry out Ludger’s order.
If so, you should enjoy the festival, but how should you enjoy it?
A fragrant smell came from somewhere to Sedina, who was worried.
‘That’s… … .’
There was a street food stall where the eyes naturally went.
I was drawn to the savory yet sweet scent that emanated from there.
The owner asked while looking at Sedina.
“Welcome, little girl. Do you have anything you want to eat?”
“Oh, well… … .”
“If it’s hard to choose, I’ll recommend it for you. How about this? It is the most popular food in our store. Would you like to do this?”
“Ah yes.”
Nodding absentmindedly, the uncle immediately handed her food.
It was fried potatoes strung on long wooden sticks, which were then smeared with butter and honey.
After paying the bill, Sedina looked at the food in her hand and carefully took a bite.
“… … !”
Her eyes widened and fireworks exploded overhead.
It tastes so amazing.
It seems like a bit overpriced compared to the ingredients that went in, but it had a unique taste that went well with the festival.
Sedina, who ate the food in an instant, naturally cast her gaze to another store.
At first, when I was told to enjoy the festival, I was at a loss as to how to enjoy it, but it felt like I could see the road.
Sedina enjoyed such a full-fledged festival food.
As the sky darkened and the sun was about to go down, a signal came through the communicator that I always carry in my arms.
[grow. I’ll call you the location, so come right away.]
Hearing that familiar voice, Sedina realized that the First Order needed her, and immediately ran to the place called.
‘If you suddenly called, you’re finally starting a full-fledged operation, right? Because this is the best time for the Dawning to act!’
Sedina arrived at the scene with strange expectations.
I realized too late that I hadn’t been able to throw away the food I was holding in my hands, but that wasn’t the point.
Because there was something exciting and secretive in front of my eyes.
Rudger said to Sedina, who was waiting for orders with a pounding heart.
“Get rid of these two.”
“Eh?”
* * *
With the help of assistant Sedina, Rudger was able to safely move the fainting people without being noticed.
After putting Crollo in her dorm, Sedina and Joanna said she would send her to the dorm, and left with her on her back.
It was strange to see the petite Sedina carrying Joanna, who was taller than herself, on her back.
In fact, Joanna’s toes were dragging on the ground.
‘Well, I’ll take care of myself.’
Rudger came to the infirmary with Selina on his back.
It was already after sunset, so there was no one in the infirmary and it was quiet.
The dark interior felt like another world, with only the red light of a distant festival shining softly on it.
Rudger lay down on the bed and looked at Selina, who was quietly sleeping.
‘Esmeralda and Selina. I can’t believe the two were the same.’
He never thought that the First Order he was looking for would be so close.
At first, I was obviously suspicious.
However, after seeing Selina’s appearance, he tentatively concluded that it was not her.
Looking at the results alone, Rudger’s guess was only half right.

‘Obviously there was an opportunity.’
When Esmeralda is distracted by a fainting Crollo.
Quasimodo was constantly on the lookout for Ludgar, but he definitely had a chance to kill Esmeralda there.
The reason he missed that opportunity was because of his own hesitation.
‘Esmeralda can kill. but.’
Selina couldn’t be killed.
Selina is a nice person. She harbors a terrifying presence behind her, but that doesn’t make Selina a villain.
because she didn’t know
‘Is ignorance that cannot even be given a chance to know be a sin? If so, does all her warmth and good deeds she has done so far become meaningless?’
Rudger thought otherwise.
Sin is sin, and good deeds are good deeds.
You can’t cover up a mistake with something good like simple addition and subtraction.
On the other hand, even if a person commits a sin, his good deeds do not disappear.
Then, if a good man and a sinner share the same body, how should we treat that person?
‘It’s a challenge.’
Rudger shook his head.
But I couldn’t just postpone the answer.
The last day of the festival that will come in 4 days.
As promised, Esmeralda will move to kill Crawlo Febius.
Until now, the purpose of Esmeralda’s actions was only revenge against the Fabius family.
The problem is after that.
What will Esmeralda do after killing Febius with Chrollo, the last survivor of Febius?
‘As long as you belong to the Black Dawn, you will not disobey the orders of the Zero Order. Maybe he came here in exchange for helping him avenge himself.’
If the Fabius family completely disappears, Esmeralda will faithfully follow the orders of the Zero Order.
It was clear that it would remain a huge barrier to Ludgar, who was planning to get rid of the Black Dawn someday.
To prevent that situation from happening, it is right to get rid of Esmeralda.
Rudger looked at Selina lying down calmly.
The pink hair that was disheveled on the pillow was shining softly in the light outside the window.
It was like a princess in a deep sleep.
“Ugh, uhm.”
Selina groaned and then opened her eyes.
Not Esmeralda’s red eyes, but the light purple eyes she originally had.
“Uh, huh? here is?”
“Are you awake?”
“Mr. Rudgar?”
As soon as Selina came to her senses, her shoulders trembled at the sight of Ludger.
Before long, he realized that he was in the infirmary, and that Rudger was sitting by him as if guarding him.
“How did this happen?”
“You passed out.”
“Yes, yes?”
“It looks like you’ve been tired lately. While enjoying the festival, he suddenly collapsed and was brought to the infirmary.”
“I-did I?”
Rudger’s voice was so sincere that Selina believed it.
In fact, Ludger was not wrong. She was right that on the eve of the festival, she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep.
‘Hey, you idiot! No matter how you do it, how can you faint!’
Doesn’t it look like a person who has been exhausted from enjoying the festival too hard?
Selina screamed inwardly at the thought that Ludgar, who was patrolling with her, might look like someone who likes to play.
‘Fell down! Uh, what to do! Could it be that I came here in the arms of Mr. Rudger? Mmm, wasn’t it heavy?!’
On the other hand, Ludger saw Selina’s reaction and completely erased the slightest bit of wariness.
‘Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to remember what happened just a moment ago.’
It is encouraging to have one less excuse.
Ludger, who looked at Selina’s condition, decided that she was fine and stood up.
“ah. Where are you going?”
“You seem to be all right, so I’m just going to get up.”
“Uh, over there Mr. Rudger… … .”
When Selina tried to say something, Ludger stood up and waited for her words.
Selina wiggled her fingers and couldn’t bear to meet Rudger’s eyes.
She said in a voice that finally crawled out.
“Thank you.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“It wasn’t just that they moved me when I passed out.”
Selina shook her head.
“Thank you for everything. The way you gave me advice, the way you enjoyed the festival with me, the way you didn’t show your displeasure even though it must have been annoying.”
all of that.
It left a good memory for her.
“I’m rather sorry if I didn’t just cause a nuisance.”
“Miss Selina. If the teacher really bothered me, I would have made it clear on the spot.”
“yes?”
“The reason I stayed silently with Selina without saying anything was because I didn’t hate her either.”
It was sincere.
Although not showing off, Ludger also enjoyed the liveliness of the festivities in his own way.
Win prizes at the shooting range, buy snacks from street vendors, and watch magic tricks.
Face the students in your class and see them smile.
Rudger obviously thought ‘fun’.
It was a life lived in the shadows, always hiding his identity.
Without revealing his real name, he has walked a path marked by hard and painful work.
That may have been the case.
It was the first festival in this world that touched my heart even more.
“I also enjoyed today.”
“I, really? thank god.”
Selina let out a sigh of relief and wiped her chest.
“I’m afraid I may have bothered Mr. Rudger in some way.”
“You don’t have to worry so much.”
Rudger was about to leave the infirmary immediately.
Then Selina called out to Rudger in a soft voice from behind.
“Miss Rudger.”
“yes.”
Rudger answered without looking back.
“We can definitely enjoy the festival together next year, right?”
In fact, Selina herself couldn’t understand why she asked this question.
It was just a sudden thought that this might be the last time.
Rudger was lost in thought at Selina, who asked in a slightly uneasy voice.
Is it next year’s festival?
The festival of Seorn will definitely come back.
‘Because the festival is held every year.’
Maybe more people will gather than today.
All of them will enjoy the festival and make new memories.
But on that day in the future, can the two people here and now stand together then?
No way.
One of the two will not be there.
It is an inevitable fate.
still.
“Surely it will.”
Even knowing that, Rudger couldn’t help but lie.
As if that was a sufficient answer, Selina smiled brightly.
“yes! Then by all means, let’s go to the festival again next year!”
“yes.”
“I promise!”
“yes. It is a promise.”
Even knowing that it was a promise that could not be kept.
Rudger replied.
As always, calmly.
* * *
The first day of Seorn’s Festival Magic Festival had come to an end like that.
The lights of the festival went out one by one and darkness came.
There was a person who moved as if he was waiting for such a blackout.
profit.
Ludger’s office.
In a dark place where not even the moonlight came in, the window quietly opened and a person sneaked inside.
He lightly scanned the surroundings with magic power.
‘It seems there is no detection magic. It’s because the security is so lax.’
It is also a funny story to imagine someone sneaking into the teacher’s office.
Stepping on the carpet on the floor with a cautious movement, the intruder searched Ludger’s desk.
The intruder, who rummaged through a few drawers of the desk, found what he was looking for and grinned.
‘found.’
Charreuk.
After holding the white container in one hand and shaking it several times, the man confirmed the sound of pills crashing inside.
‘Didn’t I say that if I took this, I could easily win in Dalian tomorrow?’
Rudger Celish said that he took medicine without anyone noticing.
This medicine must be a magic pill that replenishes the lack of magic power.
There were enough of them to fill a reasonably sized barrel, so it was clear that they mattered.
If you see so many things, you must have actually lived with your mouth.
‘I would have thought that the secret of Ludger Celisch that was not known to others was right here.’
-Lack of magical power.
Who would have imagined that it was dark under the lamp and that the teacher who taught magic would lack magic power.
And even the fact that he used this pill to cover up his magic power.
‘I’m looking forward to tomorrow.’
What would happen if a magician suffering from lack of magic loses the means to restore magic?
I couldn’t help laughing just thinking about it.
After the intruder tidied up the messy desk he had searched for, he left the classroom through the window he came in through.
The teachers’ room, which had returned to its original state, became quiet.
As if no one had ever come to it in the first place.
