Chapter 112

“… … why?”

“Why?”

It can’t be.

I guess I’m just saying Because Auril is kind.

I don’t know because I’m drooping, but I thought he was saying something that would comfort me first.

Euril asked.

“Did you know it would turn out like this?”

“I didn’t know.”

“Is not it?”

Did you know that you would fall into the game I made? does it make sense

If so, I wouldn’t have made it like this.

“I knew, but he ran away.”

“Euril was only nine at the time… … .”

“Can you forgive me when I’m young?”

“… … .”

It was the desire not to be alone.

I didn’t know from the beginning, so it didn’t bother me too much. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I didn’t tell him to stop.

“It was because of me, but I ran away.”

“It is natural.”

“Yeah, that’s natural.”

A lot of people have suffered.

“So it is natural to be hated and not forgiven. Even if you made me like this, it’s too late to blame you.”

For Euril, who always had a soft voice, it was very powerful. Euril shook her head slowly.

“But you, Rocks.”

The evening of the first day I fell into this world.

I went up to the garden of the Tower of Truth.

I was about to fall

From this bleak world, it was very easy to escape.

However.

“You didn’t run away.”

I saw a star floating on the ground.

It was a living, breathing light.

Didn’t run away.

I went back to my room and opened the theory book.

“You saved people.”

Even though I said it was to live, it didn’t make sense to want to die from the beginning.

“It would have been enough if you had left me alone. You are right in front of me.”

“Iknow, right.”

“Do you understand what it means to like someone who can’t even hold a hand properly?”

“A little bit.”

“… … Whoa.”

Euril took a few deep breaths.

“I think I speak well.”

“I thought you were angry.”

“Because of someone who comes every day, touches my hair, and talks about what happened today.”

“Quickly breathe.”

“Again, worry about me again.”

“Haha, I’m sick.”

it’s a sickness of the mind

no medicine

“Are you okay?”

“I should be able to move in about an hour. Although the blizzard must stop.”

“It’s weaker than the first.”

“How long has it been?”

“About a day?”

“… … day?”

The day has passed.

It seems that the wind has weakened when you see the snow that used to stick to your shoulders and forearms piled up on your head.

Baekok’s weather condition changes in a short period of time. The snowstorm will stop in two days at the most.

Then, after about five days of silence, we must start moving again and find the cliff beyond this peak.

“You can come this way now.”

Euril, whose eyes were closed, was now dozing off.

It seems that he didn’t sleep all day and kept watching me.

“I’m okay.”

“I’m not okay watching. Anyway, my body will be fine soon.”

The inside of the clothes that covered my head was already so warm that it was sweltering.

Now that I can move my arms, I throw the necklace I was wearing at Euril. Reluctantly accepting this, Euril slowly walked towards me.

Still uneasy, Euril sat a long distance from me.

“Sigh, sleep.”

“I wonder… … . Oh, something I didn’t say.”

“What is it?”

“I’m not going back to Summer Turge.”

“yes?”

I jumped up in surprise. The legs are now moving too. that’s not what’s important

“Why, why?”

“Because he ran away. I want to resemble even half of you.”

If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Is it the end if I get punished? not.

It remains to be resolved.

“I don’t even attend classes anyway, and even Obama will be fine if I stay by his side.”

It was a completely unexpected development.

Auril stays in Mash?

“… … Am I going back?”

“You say it for granted.”

“Without me, Euril.”

“It would be a pity not to be by your side.”

Euril wrapped her hand around the returned necklace and embraced it.

“I am not lonely.”

There is also Kelzian and Shale.

If you have llama blood, you can live a half-normal life. You can even walk around with your face out.

As they say, there is no reason to return to the Empire because they do not learn magic properly even in Summer Turge.

The place where Auril should be is Mashu.

‘Why do you have to stay… … .’

The reason Auril had to remain in Summer Turge in the original story.

This is because in order to deal with Ai-nim, you have to completely attract him as an ally until the 15th episode.

perfect ally?

“… … It’s not like nothing’s wrong though.”

Euril seemed to be paying attention, then muttered.

“I’ll send you a letter, and if you want to see me, I can visit you… … .”

“I will come.”

“If you’re busy, don’t overdo it. You must have a problem too.”

“You’ll have plenty of time during vacation.”

From the second year, vacation is free time.

The episodes are conducted during the semester, and during the vacation, the next episode is prepared through rest and training.

If you make good use of your usual time, you will have time to go to and from Mashu, which is right next to you, during vacation.

However, there are conditions.

“Instead, if I call you later, can you come to the Empire? You must come.”

Despite the absurd request, Euril nodded without hesitation.

“Yeah, anytime.”

“Even if it becomes dangerous?”

“Are you equally dangerous?”

“I don’t know, but probably so, right?”

“Anyway, I’m weak.”

Euril let out a thin laugh.

“Then I’ll protect you like now.”

“… … thanks.”

“me too. thank you.”

They didn’t say sorry to each other, they said thank you. It made a part of my heart ache for no reason.

I squatted face to face with Auril and closed my eyes.

The blizzard had stopped.

[CURRENT EPISODE]

X. never ending winter

– 3. Hell Has a Bottom

: It’s been a week since I’ve been moving forward in the cold. Food was almost gone, and what appeared was a sheer cliff.

But when it’s sunny and you look down at the crevice at the bottom of the cliff, you find, to your surprise, that there is grass growing there.

It is a way to survive a week in a white house and get here.

You will definitely encounter a snowstorm once, so after enduring the snowstorm under that rock, you must move non-stop between the first and second peaks visible to the north.

The main character encounters a cliff by chance, but it is not a coincidence to me.

If you come this far, you won’t need any more food.

“The grass is growing.”

“It doesn’t even snow.”

Permafrost is growing.

Conversely, it means that there was no permafrost in the distant past.

Did all the animals that lived in the north escape only to the south? Beneath this cliff lies the answer.

“Let’s go down.”

“Can you go down?”

“Because Euril took good care of her backpack.”

The backpack contains a long rope I brought for this occasion.

Of course, since they said you can throw away your backpack, there is also an option to go around the cliff and go down the inclined slope.

It is a more time-consuming and risky option because you are taking the penalty for not taking care of the rope.

“At this point… … .”

kang! kang!

I hit it with the crampons I was wearing along with the stake. until it is deeply embedded in the frozen ground. In this way, you do not have to worry about tying a rope.

The length of the rope was also sufficient.

“Can I grab it and go down… … .”

“Here, see the ring?”

Tuk-tuk.

I tapped the collar on the front of my shoulder and said. The string connected to Auril is at the waist, so it is a loop that has never been used before.

Originally, it can’t be attached, so there is an event where Auril, who was going down the rope with a little distance, falls.

It’s tied with a rope, so you just have to hold on, but that can’t be easy. My strength is level 4.

“Euril has it too, right?”

“I have.”

“I will walk in a short line. This time my face is close, so I am covering it with a scarf.”

Like two people skydiving, Auril is held in front of me. Because of the blood of llamas, he was able to do this as well.

The nape of my neck went cold in an instant. It was a breath-taking distance.

“Are you okay?”

“Don’t you believe me?”

“Because I am heavy… … .”

“I’ll be down soon anyway. And when Euril speaks there, I feel very cold.”

An 8-string rope mainly used for carabiners. If you hold on to the line, you can descend safely.

I had to prepare thoroughly, so I changed my gloves.

“I’m closing my eyes.”

“Ahh… … .”

Squeeze!

It descended like a glide.

That’s right, about 50m. It took less than a minute to come down.

Instead, Euril wrapped her arms and legs around her neck and waist, so it was very cold. Ugh, I shuddered once.

“I came down. sniff.”

“Oh, really?”

“You can lower your legs.”

Euril’s feet touched the ground as she trembled. It was a dirt floor.

Looking up, it is quite high.

“Can I go up again… … ?”

“There must be another way.”

I said while rubbing my neck with both hands. Actually there is no need to go up here again.

On the way back, all you have to do is go down the Pigtail River.

“If you go west from here, you will find the upper reaches of the river… … .”

“Rox! There, there!”

Euril suddenly pointed somewhere and raised her voice.

it was a rabbit I was surprised to see nothing but white buttocks.

“There is a rabbit.”

“Look at the animals!”

“Look at the grass growing. It may be surprisingly wide.”

When you come down, it looks narrow at first because it is just a gap between cliffs, but the story changes when you go west along the narrow road.

That’s why the tenth episode took so long.

‘How long will it take?’

In the game, it is omitted without detailed explanation, but it usually takes a month. Because it’s a huge mess here.

Looking at the map, an area as large as the islands to the north of Mashu is colored white with white jade.

In fact, who knows that half of it is a green field.

But unfortunately, only one.

[After wandering around like that for about a month, I found it… … ]

Because the script was put together like that, it was bound to happen.

exactly where to go

I don’t know the exact location either.

I literally have no choice but to wander for a month, maybe more.

“Let’s go.”

“okay.”

Still, I’m not alone.

I thought I was chasing a runaway rabbit, but I became a running rabbit. Auril hurried my steps.

“I don’t have to worry about food.”

“yes?”

“There’s nothing to eat in my backpack anymore.”

“I didn’t think I was going to catch and eat… … . I guess.”

If it’s a rabbit, it knows how to groom it because Hoen taught it on the way back from Areas. It was worth watching hard at that time.

The natural world is cruel.

“Have you ever eaten rabbit meat?”

“no. tasty?”

“it’s delicious.”

“Then I have no choice but to eat.”

At some point, I couldn’t even see the white snow, and after about 30 minutes, the soil gradually became greener.

Sarak. Sarak.

The sound of stepping on the soil didn’t last long either, and the leaves began to drown out the sound of the shoes brushing against them.

After the narrow cliff gap is over.

“Five… … .”

“Wow.”

My eyesight turned green.

It was a wide open meadow.
