Episode 318. The world he created (5)
“Huh?”
Nana opens her eyes in an unfamiliar place that she has never seen before.
At first glance, it looked like barracks built for emergencies during the war.
‘You’re awake, Nana!’
Hastia’s familiar voice rang in my head.
Hastia was sitting right next to the cot where Nana was lying.
For some reason, I was holding on to one of Nana’s hands.
“W-what is it? “Why are you holding my hand?”
‘Ah, so. This is all for a reason… … .’
“Nana!”
At that time, Emily and Brian, who heard her voice outside, rushed inside.
Emily ran towards Nana and hit her hard on the back.
“What did your sister say? “She told me not to go around eating strange things!”
“ouch! “It hurts, Emily!”
Nana screamed and flinched.
Emily stopped hitting Nana and hugged her tightly.
“I was worried! “I thought it was wrong for you too!”
Then, she suddenly buried her face and sobbed, leaving me bewildered as to what the situation was.
“It’s Nana. “You’ve been passed out for two days.”
Brian provided the explanation.
“Two days?”
Nana’s last memory was eating every last one of the dark elves that appeared during the evacuation.
First of all, I clearly remembered that it didn’t taste very good.
When I finished eating it all, I felt so sick that I vaguely remembered falling down and clutching my stomach.
I never would have guessed that I passed out for two days.
Nana gently rubbed her stomach, which still felt nauseated.
‘The dark elf’s blood contained a deadly poison that melted the bodies of living creatures.’
“Poison?”
It sounds good, it’s a dark elf, but in reality it was nothing more than a deformed body created by injecting the blood of a demonic beast into the corpse of a dead elf.
It was a shame because Nana’s body was that of a strong dragon. If she were an ordinary person, she would have been poisoned as soon as the blood touched her skin.
“Then who purified my poisoned body?”
‘… … .’
Hastia quietly pointed to herself with her finger.
A blush spread across her pale cheeks, as if she felt ashamed inside.
“Hastia stayed by your side for two days, unable to even go to the bathroom, to take care of you. Hastia is your lifesaver!”
Emily continued speaking on behalf of the woman who could not speak.
“Yeah, really?”
‘A lifesaver? I was just doing the obvious! Nana ended up like this while protecting us… … .’
Hastia waved her hand, saying it was absurd.
There was silence for a moment as the strange atmosphere continued.
“Thank you. Hastia… … .”
Nana first expressed her gratitude and then secretly took Hastia’s hand again.
‘Well, I am… … .’
The relationship between the two, which had been awkward for so long, seemed to have softened a bit.
“Princess Arin has arrived!”
At that time, the news that Arin had arrived rang throughout the camp.
The current camp is located about an hour’s walk from the southern castle gate of Journ.
In fact, it was like setting up another camp in the north similar to the Belias Front.
The only people who arrived were Arin and Resimus.
It took just three days from leaving Luwen to arriving at the camp.
The total sleep time over those three days was less than four hours.
Nevertheless, Arin and Resimus did not show even the slightest fatigue on their faces.
“The Dark Elves’ advance has stopped?”
Since I had already received frequent reports of the situation through messengers on my way here, I had some understanding of it.
A large army of dark elves appeared at the northern castle gate of Jurun.
A three-member team that blocked their advance for two days.
And just one day before setting up camp, a huge beam of light was seen rising into the sky from the direction of Jurn, and it was said that the Dark Elves stopped their advance in Jurn from that incident.
Arin headed straight to where the three death squad members were.
“Arin sister!”
On the way, I encountered Nana and her group coming out of the barracks.
“It’s Nana!”
Arin was very happy to see Nana safe.
I had heard about Nana on the way, so I was worried inside, but fortunately, she was very energetic as usual.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“huh! “I had a bit of an upset stomach after eating something strange, but I’m better now.”
Arin sighed in relief and stroked Nana’s head.
“What’s so loud?”

Then, this time, a set with bandages all over came out of the barracks next to it.
“reel? “When did Princess Arin come?”
“Prince Set? “Are you feeling okay?”
Unlike Arin, who was surprised, Set shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed smile.
“This is the level where you can get better by applying acupuncture. These bandages were cumbersome, so I tried not to wear them as much as possible… … !”
“No, prince!”
When he tried to take off the bandages out of frustration, servants and healers came out and tried to stop him.
“I’m so glad you’re safe.”
“Because I’m fine. “Just go to our junior over there.”
Set smiled easily and pointed to another barracks.
“Is Lunav over there?”
“Stay with that guy, Xian. I’m really tired of surprising people now. “Unless you really went crazy, how could you possibly think of letting the two of us go and surviving alone?”
He shook his head as if he was tired of the set.
“Anyway, go comfort me. “He was so shocked that he didn’t say anything even after he came back.”
Arin followed Set’s words and headed straight to the barracks where Lunav was.
“Lunav? “Are you inside?”
Before entering, I carefully called out to her in front of the barracks.
-Flutter
Then a woman lifted the cloth and came out.
“Princess?”
It was Ellis.
“Elise! You’re safe… … !”
For a moment, I tried to express my joy that she was safe.
Ellis put her finger over her mouth and asked for silence.
Then, without saying a word, he moved his body to make way for Arin to enter the barracks.
“It seems Miss Lunave was waiting for the princess. Come on in.”
Although it was a little strange, Arin went inside with Ellis’ guidance.
“… … !”
Arin stopped as soon as she entered.
“Si, Sian?”
Sian is sitting on a chair in a dazed state with her eyes half-open.
And next to it,
“Are you here?”
Lunav was there, staring at Xian with indifferent eyes.
Arin silently approached Runab’s side.
“The meeting didn’t go well, did it?”
Runab immediately started talking about the meeting.
“huh. Unfortunately, we were unable to elicit support from the Garam Kingdom.”
“Of course. “There is no way our society would participate in such an unprofitable matter.”
Lunav’s eyes were still focused on Sian.
“According to my original plan, I shouldn’t be here right now.”
“What does that mean?”
“He held out until the very end in Jurun and eventually met a miserable death, and the Garam Society, enraged by the loss of an important source of resources, sympathized with the creation of the Allied Forces. “This was my original plan.”
“You’re going to die… Was that your idea, Lunav?”
Lunav responded with silence.
“why? why? Didn’t you want to protect Xian? Why did you leave Xian… … !”
“I thought my senior wouldn’t wake up.”
Arin’s mouth stopped in midair.
“Do you know what the probability of my senior waking up that I calculated was?”
“… … .”
“It was 0.1%. Not 1%, just 0.1%… … .”
In fact, the probability was close to 0.
“But it’s not a complete zero, so should I say I’m glad? Even though it was a remote possibility, I tried to believe it. Because there was nothing else I could do. But gradually I realized the reality. I know that I will never be able to see my true self again… … . “I didn’t want to live in such a scary world.”
“So you were trying to die alone? Where are those irresponsible thoughts? “Are you ignoring the feelings of other people who cherish you?”
“Maybe so. I just want to die for the people my senior cherishes. “Because that was all I could think about.”
Lunav did not try to deny it.
“But not anymore.”
“… … !”
“Thanks to that man, I learned that the future I dreamed of had not changed… … .”
Runab stood up with vague words.
“Where are you going?”
“I want to give you time to be alone with me. If you have something to say, please don’t feel pressured.”
Without any time to dissuade him, Lunav quickly left the barracks.
Suddenly, Sian and I were left alone.
“ha… … .”
Arin let out a deep sigh and then faced Sian with pitiful eyes.
“Isn’t that right, Xian? “You are a very difficult man.”
“… … .”
“He was literally like a man shrouded in fog, with no idea what he was thinking. To be honest, I still don’t know… … .”
There was no reply, but Arin continued speaking regardless.
“You probably don’t understand. Why do we try so hard to protect you? No other reason. “It’s because you created a world for me, Lunab, and countless other people who look up to you.”
A world that would not have been created without Xi’an.
It was a world where only the parties were unaware of its value.
“I told people. It’s important to convey my sincerity toward you. But I don’t think I was able to show you my true feelings.”
After speaking, Arin moved closer to Xian.
Then, I gently raised my hand and gently cupped his cheek, the most precious thing in the world.
“This is my truth.”
With deep, hot, yet gentle movements.
Arin’s red lips touched Xian’s dry lips.
At this moment, Arin breathed warmth into Sian with a more sincere heart than ever before.
I don’t know if I can reach that heart, but
That was enough for Arin.
Now, finally, I was able to convey my true feelings that I had been holding back for so long.
-pop
The hot tears around her eyes flowed down Arin’s cheeks and onto the back of Sian’s hand.
After finishing the conversation, Arin straightened her legs and stood up.
“They say the Dark Elves’ advance stopped for a moment. But as long as you live, their advance will not stop. “I don’t know if we can stop that.”
Arin clenched her fists in front of Xian and strengthened her resolve.
“But I will do my best to stop it. Because this is a precious world that you created. “I will definitely protect you!”
“… … .”
“Even if I have to die… … .”
Arin tried to suppress the rising regret and boldly turned around.
Now that I have conveyed my sincerity, all that remains is to move on.
Even if there is a big mountain in front of it that cannot be climbed.
-chin!
“… … !”
Arin’s body, which tried to move her feet again, suddenly froze in place like ice.
It wasn’t that she wanted to stop.
Another hand holding her pretty right hand tightly.
Right now, there was no one in this barracks except the two men and women who had just kissed.
Arin’s heart was beating so hard that she couldn’t even breathe properly.
Barely, just barely, suppressing my excitement, I slowly looked back.
“It’s really consistent… … .”
“… … !”
That voice was so blunt that it made me shudder just hearing it, but I had longed for it.
“You are foolish.”
The owner of the voice, as always, was reprimanding Arin in a tone full of negativity.
