〈 Episode 294 〉 Prophecy points to death (6)
* * *
Sarah failed to convince Kyle.
Kyle’s attitude was stubborn, and he acted as if he would accept no objections about the matter. No matter what Sarah said, Kyle didn’t listen.
Even if you get angry, cry, or hold on to her arm and beg, there is no use.
If Raniel comes there, he must go too.
That’s all Kyle said. As if it were my duty. She couldn’t understand Sara’s stubborn attitude.
“If that’s the case, why did you kick me out?”
Raniel’s goals are so high.
Because I don’t want to risk my life anymore.
Didn’t he kick Raniel out of the party because he wanted to stay away from dangerous work? But why is she trying to crawl back into limbo now?
“Because I have to.”
Kyle just answered like that.
Kyle said nothing more. At some point, Sarah felt the wall between herself and Kyle stronger than ever.
···After years of journey, Sarada’s patience and tenacity have completely worn out. She no longer considers her god to be perfect, nor does she attempt to fulfill her duties as a saint.
If I push and it doesn’t work, I give up.
Don’t put effort into something that doesn’t work.
Once I lived like that, it was much more comfortable than before.
A life of resignation and giving up was sweeter than the life of those who lived with perseverance and tenacity. Sarah lived in that sweetness. However, even at this moment, I cannot bear to do so.
“I’m dying.”
If you do that even now, you will lose it.
“You’re going to die, too, Kyle. In the North you would rush towards the sword of death, and the sword of death would then hold it in his left hand.”
Losing Kyle.
“It is the sword of death held in the left hand. Don’t you know better what that means? I can’t stand it. I’m dying. You will die unconditionally. “It’s different from back then.”
Sarah doesn’t even want to imagine that fact.
“It’s different than when Kyle endured it. “Kyle can’t swing a sword like he did back then, and you can’t do something as ignorant as you did back then.”
So, do what you can.
Sarah fell to her knees and pleaded with her former colleague.
“I… no, I have done many things wrong to you. I know. “I know you are always right and I am always wrong.”
Saraina has high self-esteem, but at this moment, she doesn’t care about such things. Sarah gives up everything and bows her head in front of her former colleague whom she hated.
“sorry. sorry. sorry. So, please do me a favor just this once.”
···As is the case with those who have reached high positions, Sarah, who represents the Delohim Church, has never bowed down to anyone. Because he was like a person representing God.
So, this is the first time.
This is the first time I have knelt down and bowed my head to someone. In the midst of giving in for the first time, Sarah does not feel humiliated.
“Please, Raniel.”
If the problem is solved by bowing my head, I can bow my head to the floor as many times as I want.
But Sarah knows.
“please please···.”
There was no way something like this would work on Raniel.
Sarah knows that this request will not work for Raniel, who always lives uprightly. Despite knowing this, Sarah came to Raniel.
“······.”
There is silence.
Raniel doesn’t give any answers. Sarah doesn’t know if it means rejection or something else.
Sarah slowly lifted her head.
Light pink hair flutters along her head. Sarah looked ahead through her shaking hair.
Raniel is there.
There is an old colleague who has changed and changed.
Sarah’s green eyes examine Raniel’s blue eyes. And then Sarah suddenly realizes. Raniel’s perspective on herself is different from before.
2.
Since Chloe’s name began to become widely known, Chloe has had more opportunities to meet famous knights. They were the ones who saw Chloe’s investiture ceremony up close, and they were the ones who remembered the glory of Galahal.
In front of them, Chloe did her best to prove her potential. Some people applauded, while others were relieved that the era of lights out would not come yet.
Chloe is both happy and burdened by that fact.
Because the burden on my shoulders seems to be increasing. It was a day when I was repeating my daily routine and studying. Another customer came to visit Chloe.
Chop chop.
Chloe slapped me on the cheek a couple of times and opened the door with a hard expression on her face. So, it is time to meet his guest as a candidate to succeed Gala Hal.
“···Belnoa?”
Chloe’s eyes widened at the figure standing in front of the door. The guest who came was my childhood friend, Belnoa. A friend I haven’t seen much in recent months.
“Is the time okay?”
“Uh, huh.”
While Chloe was confused, Belnoir entered the room and sat down. Belnoir, who had been sitting down and looking at Chloe, opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Uh, Chloe.”
Belnoir said amidst the awkwardness.
“…Do you ever want to go to the battlefield again?”
“Not yet… I’ll focus on class for the time being. Still, I think I’ll show my face once every few months. Whether on the battlefield or in front of the knights.”
“Is that so?”
Belnoir let out a short breath.
“Then let’s go together.”
“···huh?”

“Let’s go together. Whether it’s a battlefield or something. “If you need to meet someone, don’t go alone, go together.”
Chloe blinked.
Belnoir looked away as if embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and continued speaking.
“···First of all, I am also the best disciple of the Black Magic Tower Master. You can fit it in almost any place. And, it will be helpful on the battlefield as well.”
While I am advertising myself, Belnoir feels embarrassed for some reason. Belnoir muttered while looking at Chloe’s eyes.
“Not if you don’t want to.”
“···Uh, huh? No, I don’t like it.”
Chloe hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head.
“I was just a little embarrassed…”
How should I react?
What kind of expression should I make? Chloe pursed her lips as she thought about that. For a moment, Chloe soon felt that all these worries were useless.
‘···There is no need to do this in front of Belnoa.’
It’s not like sitting as a warrior.
It’s just about meeting a comfortable friend… is there a need to think about each and every action like this? Come to think of it, there was no need for that.
“Um, um…”
Chloe hesitated.
“huh.”
He nodded and smiled.
“Yeah, I think it would be good.”
The smile Chloe made like that was the Chloe that Belnoir had always known. The sight of him laughing over trivial things at old Cardi’s store.
“Actually, it was a bit difficult.”
Chloe muttered.
“It’s sudden, and everyone has such high expectations of me… I feel like I need to show them something more. “For no reason, I put a lot of pressure on my shoulders…”
While saying that, Chloe’s shoulders feel weak. The voice also becomes natural.
“Still, I’m comfortable now.”
relaxing.
Looking at Chloe muttering like that, Belnoir lowered her head. Belle Noah muttered in a low voice as she listened to Chloe who was embarrassed and asked why she was like that.
“···What the professor said was right.”
Nothing has changed.
I’m just acting.
Now that those words are true, what Belnoa feels is shame.
“Whoa…”
Realizing that he had mistaken and misunderstood, Belnoir wiped the corners of his eyes and sighed. Letting out her breath, Belle Noah lifted her head.
“Chloe.”
Belnoir made eye contact with Chloe and smiled.
“You said it.”
“Yeah, huh? “What?”
“You said it would be good if you did.”
Belnoir raised his index finger and pressed Chloe’s forehead, who was making a blank expression.
“Even if you tell me not to come, I will follow you. I will chase after you in the near future. So, don’t think about throwing it away.”
Belnoir said with a mischievous smile.
“You can’t go anywhere with something soggy.”
3.
It wasn’t difficult to understand the situation.
Sounding magic tools, pouring messages.
Raniel understood the situation just by reading a few lines of letters that appeared on the letter. A prophet who appeared for the first time in decades predicted that death would appear in the North.
And, that prophet is now before my eyes.
Raniel looked in front of me without saying anything. There is Sarah bowing her head towards him. The proud Sarah is kneeling in front of him and bowing her head.
“······.”
This cannot happen, Raniel thinks.
The Sarah that Raniel knows is an overly light-hearted person. He had never imagined Sarah getting down on her knees and begging for something.
Something I’ve never even imagined.
While this is happening now, what Raniel is feeling is embarrassment. Raniel frowned at a side of Sarah he had never seen before.
‘···Don’t go to the north?’
If I go, Kyle goes there?
It was not something that could be easily accepted. Raniel thinks Kyle won’t do that. He is a guy who is afraid of facing an enemy as strong as the sword of death.
‘but···.’
Judging by Sarah’s attitude, it seemed like Kyle really was like that. After putting off understanding his intention until later, Raniel glanced at Sarah. At that moment, Sarah raised her head and looked at Raniel.
Their gazes overlap.
At that moment, Sarah blinked her eyes as if she was embarrassed.
“···Raniel?”
“what.”
“Aren’t you going to kick me out?”
“I’m thinking about it right now.”
Sarah looked even more unsure.
“Aren’t you going to grab me by the hair and pull me out?”
“What on earth are you looking at me for?”
Raniel made a puzzled expression.
“That proud saint is on her knees begging, shouldn’t you listen to her story?”
Raniel pointed to the chair in front of me.
“sit down.”
“···yes?”
“Sit down. “If you’re going to hang your head there and talk, then talk about it.”
Sarah hesitantly approached Raniel.
Meanwhile, it seemed like he had no intention of shaking the dust off his pure white robes. Ran El clicked her tongue inwardly, looking at the dust on her pink hair.
‘I guess you’re quite desperate.’
It was my first time seeing something like that.
Sarah gives up easily. Sarada has never uttered an apple. Raniel, who was tired of her shamelessness and contradictory words and actions, did not consider Sarah a human being.
Not now.
I still don’t like it, but at least I can hear the story. In this way, Raniel heard detailed information about the prophecy through Sarah’s mouth.
“···So, Kyle and I ran into the sword of death between the piles of squirts?”
“···yes.”
“Didn’t you see him die?”
“I didn’t see it that far. “At that moment, a blizzard came and the view was completely obscured.”
Raniel, who was smoothing his chin, opened his mouth.
“There’s no way I could do that.”
“···yes?”
“There is no way I could lunge straight at the sword of death.”
Raniel tapped the back of his hand.
“I am a wizard. “He is capable of hand-to-hand combat, and even if he fights at close range, he is first of all a wizard.”
“···What does that mean?”
“You idiot, you use mana. Mana. “Bodily strengthening and close combat are all possible only with mana.”
By the way, what about ganicalt?
Raniel said with a sigh.
“The order didn’t work. Mana is running out. “The moment I get close to him, all my spells are broken.”
“that···.”
“You saw it too. So, I tried to bury them alive by collapsing the canyon from afar.”
The spell does not work on Ganikalt.
The moment you approach, all mana scatters.
“I’m going to run into a monster like that? “Do you think that makes sense?”
“…But, in the prophecy.”
“Then there must have been some reason.”
Raniel muttered, resting his chin.
“The spell worked for Ganikalt. I am in a situation where I can assist Kyle. “Isn’t that what your prophecy points to?”
She narrowed her eyes.
“You said there was a blizzard.”
Sarah nodded.
There was always a blizzard at the end of the prophecy. It’s like a snowstorm that turns the entire snow field upside down…
“Isn’t that ash?”
Sarah closed her mouth.
“hey.”
Raniel glared at Sarah.
“I think you may be mistaken, but I wouldn’t gamble with my life in a fight I had no chance of winning.”
Even if it seems excessively risky to others.
Even if it seems like simply throwing away one’s life.
“Because I see a chance of victory.”
Raniel always put his life on the line when the odds were in his favor. I just don’t hesitate when I see a chance of winning.
“They probably did it because there was a possibility.”
“···but!”
“I know. “That means you can’t win.”
Raniel said, resting his chin.
“Kylo in his current state won’t be enough, and no matter what I do, I won’t be able to defeat Ganicalt. Do you think I don’t know that? I know.”
Know.
“But if we’re going to kick them out, we might be able to do something.”
Whether it’s collapsing a snowy mountain or completely overturning a snowy field, whatever it takes…if you look for it, you’ll find the answer.
“It’s unlikely.”
“I guess so.”
“You mean I’m going to die? Why do you keep…”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
Raniel sighed.
“If not me, who will do it? Kelhalm? Kariot? Draka? Either that or Destel?”
“···that.”
“Why not? Should I ask Chloe, who has just become a hero, a favor? “Do you want me to stop it?”
You can’t do it.
That’s not possible.
Raniel said while mumbling.
“There is no one else who can do it but me, and I might have a chance, so I should go. “If it weren’t for me, everyone there would die.”
However, Raniel glared at Sarah.
“Kyle, he doesn’t care. “I’m going there because I think this way, and I have no intention of forcing it on Kyle.”
“···yes?”
“If that guy isn’t there, we have to find another answer.”
Raniel laughed bitterly.
“The scoundrel who ran away because he was scared doesn’t force the kid to risk his life. Tell them not to come. “Because I don’t need it.”
so.
“Don’t force yourself on me either. Kyle, do I have to act like that bastard? “No matter what I say, I say it like shit, like shit.”
Sarah feels a sense of discomfort in that smile.
After hesitating, Sarah opened her mouth and asked.
“···you.”
“what.”
“Are you Raniel?”
“no?”
Rania van Trias laughed.
“Professor Aplia, this is Rania Van Trias.”
