I am not a returner Episode 438 Lie
(11)
The party who moved Ojin to Vega’s temple through Cassia’s shadow carefully examined Ojin’s condition.
“So… my name is Ojin?”
Ohjin gently narrowed his brows and swallowed, as if trying to recall a memory.
Ohjin, who continued thinking, soon shook his head.
“sorry. “I don’t remember.”
“…You don’t even remember your name?”
“yes.”
Oh Jin, who returned after two years, could not remember anything.
As if it had become pure white paper.
Also about them.
Also about yourself.
“Who you are… who I am. “I don’t know anything.”
“….”
A heavy silence fell like a curtain.
Isabella approached Ojin with unsteady steps.
“Oh Mr. Ojin. I’m… Isabella. “Isabella.”
“Ah… yes.”
An unfamiliar look in your eyes, as if you were looking at someone you are meeting for the first time.
Isabella stepped back in disbelief.
“Are you sure you don’t remember anything?”
“sorry.”
“….”
Ha-eun grabbed Oh-jin’s shoulder with a trembling hand.
“Ojini, are you lying again? huh?”
okay.
Wasn’t the other person Ojin?
All of this could have been a lie to tease them.
no.
It has to be a lie.
“also…? “Have I ever lied before?”
“ha ha ha. Why do you come here? None of this is fun. “Are you going to keep doing this again and later say, ‘It’s a lie?’”
“sorry. “I don’t really know what you’re talking about.”
“….”
Looking at Oh Jin shaking his head, Ha-eun chewed her lip until it bled.
I knew it.
I was prepared.
Even if Oh Jin comes back, he won’t come back as the ‘Oh Jin’ they remember.
but.
No matter what.
“This… is too much.”
I never expected that I would even forget that I was ‘misdiagnosed’.
No, it’s not unexpected.
Like a pheasant hiding its head in the grass. It was an effort to avert one’s eyes from the coming tragedy.
With the vain hope in my heart that it would be okay if it was a misdiagnosis.
“How…how could this be?”
[Calm down.]
Vega put his hand on Ha-eun’s sobbing shoulder.
[After being in the dark sky for two years, you just came out. If you calm down and relax, your memories will come back soon.]
“…Yes. Yes, that’s right. “I’m sure it will.”
okay.
As Vega said, hasn’t he just returned?
I couldn’t hastily conclude that I had lost all my memories yet.
“is it so. If you are Ojin, you will definitely recall the memory. “For now, I’m glad you came back alive, right?”
Thank goodness.
Can we really call it ‘fortunate’ that we have forgotten who we are?
Ha-eun nodded her head with difficulty, suppressing the anxiety that was eating away at her heart.
“okay. Thank goodness… Izzy.”
“….”
A gloomy air flowed inside the temple.
Vega let out a deep sigh and opened her mouth.
[First of all, I have summoned Aris, so please wait a moment.]
“By Aris… do you mean the constellation of Aries?”
[That’s right.]
“If you want to check Mr. Ohjin’s physical condition, wouldn’t it be better to use the constellation of Aquarius?”
[The purpose was not specifically ‘treatment’, right?]
There were no external injuries or internal injuries on Ojin’s body.

The stigmata of Aries was perfect for stabilizing the mind and allowing for comfortable rest.
[I’m here, Mr. Vega.]
Did I say that even the tiger will come if I tell it to do so?
A blonde goddess walked into the temple.
[What did you call me for… huh?]
Aris, who discovered the misdiagnosis, opened her eyes wide.
[Didn’t Pa Gunseong die in the fight with the Heavenly Demon?]
[I’ll explain the details later. For now, please help this child find peace.]
[Hmm. I understand.]
Aris nodded with a confused expression and approached Ojin.
He placed his hand on Ojin’s forehead and opened his mouth quietly.
[Rest in peace to you.]
A soft golden light flowed into Ojin’s mind.
Oh Jin’s expression, which was shaking with anxiety like a cat picked up from the side of the road, became much more relaxed.
[Then I’ll just leave.]
[Thank you.]
[Do you really need to explain what the situation is later?]
[I understand.]
Aris went out of the temple.
“How are you feeling, Oh Jin?”
“…I feel drowsy.”
“Are you in any pain or anything like that?”
“yes.”
Ojin looked back at Isabella and nodded.
Isabella smiled and continued speaking at the sight of Ojin calling her by an unfamiliar honorific title.
“Are you not hungry by any chance?”
“no. “I’m not particularly hungry.”
“Still, you should eat something. Wait a minute. “I will make Mr. Oh Jin’s favorite stir-fried pork.”
“Did I like stir-fried pork?”
“yes?”
“Well… I know what kind of food stir-fried pork is, but I don’t remember whether I liked it.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
The smile I worked so hard to put on began to crumble little by little, as if cracks were appearing.
“Okay… you did. “I made it for them often.”
“okay.”
“Then I’ll make it right away!”
Isabella turned and went down to the basement of the temple as if she was running away.
As it is a constellation that basically does not need to eat, there was originally no place for cooking inside the temple.
As Ojin and Haeun stayed at the temple for long periods of time for training, Vega personally built a kitchen in the temple’s basement.
While Isabella went to make food.
Cassia cautiously approached Ojin.
“Oh Jin. “Could you please take off your top for a moment?”
“…here?” “yes.”
“Um… I understand.”
After thinking for a moment, Oh Jin took off his t-shirt.
The upper body, full of solid muscles, was revealed as if it had been delicately sculpted by a craftsman.
Cassia touched the Lyra stigmata engraved on Ojin’s left chest with her hand.
“Eleven stars…”
A total of eleven strokes were clearly engraved next to the stigmata of Lyra.
“Vega.”
[Why are you doing that?]
“You said before that the Stigmata of Lyra has the power to control the Black Sky, right?”
[That’s right.]
Vega himself doesn’t know by what principle the Lyra Stigmata can control the Dark Sky.
I had definitely seen Ojin use the power of Lyra to control the Black Sky.
“Then, if you use the Lyra Stigmata, won’t Ojin’s memories come back?”
[Oh!]
“That’s right! “There was a method like that!”
Vega and Ha-eun’s eyes sparkled like stars.
If the Stigmata of the Lyra constellation has the power to control the Black Sky, wouldn’t it be possible to restore Ojin’s lost memories if used well?
“Ojina! “Use the stigmata quickly!”
Ha-eun, full of excitement, hurriedly called out to Oh-jin.
“…Stigmata?”
Oh Jin tilted his head with an incomprehensible expression.
“How can I use it?”
“….”
Could it be that he even forgot how to write the stigmata?
Ha-eun gently bit her lip and shifted her gaze towards Vega.
Vega nodded and approached Ojin.
[This engraved on the left chest is the stigmata of Lyra.]
“Oh, I see.”
[Close your eyes and concentrate on the stigmata.]
“Yes.”
Ojin did as Vega told him and closed his eyes.
[Now imagine a blue lightning bolt burning in your head.]
“Hmm.”
Oh Jin narrows his eyebrows and concentrates.
“Blue thunderbolt… blue thunderbolt.”
Just as Vega had told me, a fiercely burning blue thunderbolt came to mind.
“…Nothing happens?”
No light emanated from the stigmata carved on his chest.
“Oh, it’s because I’m not used to it yet. If you practice a little more, you can use it…”
[…No, that’s not true.]
“You’re saying that’s not true?”
[….]
Vega’s expression darkened.
She gently stroked Ojin’s stigmata and bit her lip.
[I can’t feel the stigmata energy at all.]
“Then…”
[No matter how much I practice like this, I won’t be able to use the stigmata.]
“…”
Ha-eun’s eyes sparkled like stars. It was covered with murky dark clouds.
“Please eat.”
Isabella, who had gone down to the basement, came up carrying a steaming pot.
Oh Jin stopped concentrating to use Stigmata and took a bite of stir-fried pork in the pot.
“Does it fit your mouth?”
“Oh yeah. Delicious.”
I wasn’t particularly hungry, but the Jeyuk Bokkeum, with its exquisite spiciness and sweetness, was so delicious that I couldn’t help but exclaim.
“How amazing.”
“Amazing?”
“Did… did you say Ms. Isabella? Even though you are a foreigner, you know how to cook Korean food.”
“Ah… I practiced.”
“You like Korean food.”
“…no.”
The one I like is you.
I force myself to swallow the words that have filled my throat.
“For that matter, it tastes great….”
“Stop talking about that!”
If I said any more, it seemed like the smile I was trying to pretend to be calm would collapse.
“Ah… yes. All right.”
Ohjin nodded and silently moved the spoon.
He hurriedly emptied his bowl as if he was uncomfortable with all the attention from those around him, then got up and turned around.
“Well… can I go take a nap? “I’m a little tired.”
“Yes. “There’s a bedroom downstairs, so sleep there.”
“thank you.”
Oh Jin bowed his head and went down to the basement.
“….”
[….]
As Ojin descended, a suffocating silence filled the temple.
“…Huh.”
A soft cry breaks the silence.
Isabella collapsed on the floor and shed tears.
“Really… have you really forgotten everything? every?”
Oh Jin’s unfamiliar eyes were looking at him.
His eyes, as if he was looking at someone he had never seen before, became sharp daggers and cut into her heart.
“calm down.”
“how! How can you calm down?! Oh Jin has lost all his memories!”
Isabella shouted, glaring sharply at Cassia.
“I’m sure your sister will be fine! “Because the time I met Mr. Oh Jin was also the shortest!”
“What does that mean?”
“why? Did I say something wrong? On the contrary, don’t you like it? “Now that Mr. Oh Jin’s memories are gone, a new opportunity has arisen, right?”
“…Do you know what you’re saying right now?”
A deep murderous look flowed from Cassia’s eyes.
The shadow spread wide and black snakes crawled out.
“It’s me… “There’s no way it would be okay if it were me!!!”
“lie!”
Not to be outdone, Isabella covered herself in blood-red energy.
“stop.”
A low voice came out of Ha-eun’s mouth.
She looked back at Isabella and opened her eyes sharply.
“Is it okay since we only met for a short time? “Are you serious about that?”
“…ah.”
if so.
Among them, the person who was most ‘not okay’ was none other than Ha-eun.
“…sorry. “I was so excited that I made a mistake.”
Isabella bowed her head towards Ha-eun and took away the blood-red energy surrounding her body.
“I’m sorry, sister.”
“ha. No, because I understand how you feel.”
Cassia also drew back her widely spread shadow and let out a deep sigh.
“…I’m going to take a break too.”
Ha-eun trudged down to the basement with a tired expression on her face.
“….”
Looking toward the bedroom, I saw Ojin lying down and sleeping soundly.
Ha-eun approached Oh-jin, who was sleeping, and carefully stroked his head.
Memories with Oh Jin pass through my head like a panorama.
Memories of when I first met him at daycare.
Memories of when I started living with the orphanage.
Memories of when I lost my eyes and legs and leaned on him for life.
Memories of seeing him for the first time in years after breaking the curse with the Dragon Demon Eye.
Memories of when I was captured by Cheon Do-yoon.
Memories of when I confessed my feelings that I had harbored for a long time.
and and and.
Countless memories.
Countless memories.
It’s rising.
disappears
“…ah.”
Only then did I realize it.
‘I was always with Ojini.’
No matter where you look in life.
He was always by her side.
always. everywhere.
but.
“Really…did you forget everything?”
Her image no longer existed in his memories.
