Episode 121

“Are you not afraid?”

“I hate being sick.”

It was decided from the beginning.

“I didn’t think I would be able to live happily ever after.”

If it had a happy ending, it would be a world suitable for people to live in, and if it had a bad ending, it would be the opposite.

In June of 1319, the screen goes black, and the game reaches its ending somehow.

would you like to go back

Now that I think about it, I don’t think I was really desperate either way.

“I just wrote a bunch for no reason.”

I smiled shyly.

Still, it was worthwhile to come this far. If I hadn’t come to the neutral zone, I would have died on the street.

As the lifespan decreased by 4 months, there was no room to spare.

“Anyway, thank you for saving me. But my nose is three years old, so I have nothing to offer.”

“I don’t want it.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“The recovery is quick. Or you’re so insecure that you’re out of your mind.”

“Ouch.”

The black fairy pinched my cheek and pulled it.

The black fairy’s face, seen up close, is as beautiful as Roxtrin’s mother would be, and you lose your mind in an instant.

… … no. Maybe it’s not just because of that. Is it because the voice is similar?

“It is not that there is no method at all.”

The alluring voice seems to swallow people like a pit. Or tired.

Fortunately, I had a bit of taste, and as the Black Fairy said, if I had been sane, I would have gone overboard.

“There must be a reason you didn’t tell me earlier, right?”

“okay.”

The woman stood up.

We’ve warned you in advance that it’s a trap, so be kind.

“Since the human body cannot withstand the power of fairies, wouldn’t it be easier to become a fairy?”

The tips of her long fingers brushed the nape of my neck and cheeks. The tickling sensation gave me goosebumps.

“I want you to live. Wouldn’t anything be enjoyable as long as you were alive?”

The lips that suddenly narrowed the distance whispered as if they were touching the earlobe. I asked again, pulling my head back.

“Then can I protect my friends?”

“Whoops.”

Shuk.

The atmosphere changes completely with the sound of laughter. Instead of a gentle touch, a hand was placed on top of his head with his chin on.

“Isn’t it working properly? After all, what kind of son would lust after his mother?”

“You are the main book, mother.”

“OK.”

This ugly fairy is the same. I just tried to seduce my son. Ironically, it was all too familiar to me.

The woman took a step back and shook her head slowly.

“It would be difficult even to watch closely. Did you say you saw a llama?”

“Deep underground in the desert.”

“Rama, he has been curious since he was little. I told you not to get close, but I went down to the city and burned the capital of the kingdom.”

“Oops.”

“From then on, it was worshiped by humans for a while, saying that we shouldn’t anger the God of Calamity.”

“Isn’t it the god of fire?”

“Did you say that with my own mouth? If you accept that as a good thing, don’t you settle down in the gap while accepting human sacrifice?”

The woman waved her hand.

WE ALL DIE TOMORROW.

The writing on the ruins of the Menlua Desert was literal.

I thought it was just a bright fairy, but it wasn’t at all. scary

“It was his routine to burn people alive. They say screaming is fun.”

“You were nice when I met you.”

“Because you’ve scolded her hard before that, it must be because she’s afraid of me. Instead of stopping the burning, I kept running around outside, so I put it to sleep.”

“That’s why he was asleep.”

The artifacts piled up piled up were also readily given, and the blood was given by cutting his palms without hesitation.

It was the exact opposite of what Derek had said. Surprisingly, this makes a plausible story if you think about the child in the last episode.

“I met a fairy named Brea over there in the meadow beyond the permafrost.”

“I’ve watched that cute kid since he was born. Early on, you followed my words and hid yourself in that cold, distant land. She’s a pretty girl, but I didn’t see her often.”

“Do you know about Skadi?”

“It was a big help for a cocky dragon. But I feel sorry for Brea. Even if we forget the humans who have been with us for decades, we cannot forget the dragons who have been with us for thousands of years.”

From the tips of the black fairy’s fingers, colorful lights radiated one after another.

“Will wandering the sky without stopping even for a moment, Terra buried in an endless abyss, and Io submerged in the deep sea of a distant archipelago. They are all bodies that cannot stay by your side.”

“It means that it will be the same even if I become a fairy.”

“Because he is my son.”

I guess that’s the case, and I was trying to understand it, but I suddenly had a question.

More at noblemtl com

Judging from the fact that he punished the llama, it seems that the black fairy is the oldest and the strongest.

“Mother, then why… … ?”

It’s easy to understand why the other fairies distanced themselves from humans, but neither the black fairies nor I have any attributes.

The woman heard me and turned her head. it was north

“You know where I am from.”

“North, from?”

“What was the reason you were driven to this small land?”

“… … .”

I couldn’t speak any more.

It was the words the woman vomited out like exhaled breath, in a voice that would have been gray if there had been a color.

“That is my harm.”

A blind enemy who, of course, must exist in the game.

If you think about it, you can’t understand how they came to be.

Harm of the Black Fairy.

“I am malicious.”

monster.

“It’s not necessary, it’s not helpful, it creates terror, and it disturbs order.”

The woman’s hand gripped her ebony-long hair.

The words of remorse were the life itself that the woman had lived.

“Immortality, in which not even a single hair can be cut off, and eternal life, which does not fade even in eons of time. So, I didn’t even get a name to be called from God.”

“… … So, did you ask me to become such a fairy?”

“Since you didn’t come over, there’s nothing special.”

The woman pushed my forehead with her finger. With a dry expression, only the corners of his lips are curled up. It seems that the eyes have forgotten how to smile.

“Now go back.”

“It should be. But won’t you ask for my name?”

“I’ll forget about it in about a hundred years, so what’s the point?”

“He is my only son.”

“good night. tell me I will be generous and remember you for three hundred years.”

I said my name

The woman tilted her head.

“That is an unusual name. Did humans make names like that these days?”

“It’s like that.”

“Maybe I can remember about five hundred years. Are you satisfied now?”

I nodded and turned around.

After taking a few steps, I turned around and the black fairy was still looking at me.

He spoke out with difficulty.

“Me, mother.”

“Why is that?”

“Can I give you a name?”

“you? You mean me?”

Eyebrows raised slightly. If you stop, it was a noticeable change.

“Even if you don’t remember my name, I think you will still remember my mother’s own name that I gave you.”

“What does it mean? What a fun guy. do as you please.”

“… … star.”

I brought out a name I had never let go of in my head.

‘It was like a star floating on the ground…’ … . Hey, write something like this in a scene script.’

‘It’s nice, but why?’

‘How many stars are there in one paragraph? Did you do that on purpose?’

It was regret.

“star?”

the woman asked.

“It’s one letter. It’s easy to memorize. Even when you sing it, it’s comfortable when you do it.”

“Are you calling the thing floating in the sky by my name? I wouldn’t be able to reach it.”

“Because I’ve touched you before.”

“Your talent is good, too. don’t remember.”

“Then I’ll go.”

I turned my steps toward the barrier. And I didn’t look back until I arrived.

Even where I am not.

to be remembered for a long time.

“What, young master?”

“you worked hard.”

“No, wait a minute. no? what? young master! young master!”

In the entry and exit registers of the northern wall, there was the first person whose name was written an odd number of times and still survived.

After wandering through the snowy mountains of Mashu, it was a neutral northern zone, and I roughly explained it. It was a known fact that I had been to Mash, since I had taken off my hat.

I headed straight to Coltman’s office in Tarum’s Citadel.

“Then it’s better to place it on an outpost rather than a barrier… … ?”

Coltman, who was receiving the report, stood up in surprise.

It is not because they came without a message. If that was the case, Coltman wouldn’t have reacted like that.

“Stay away for a moment.”

“Yes.”

Coltman hurriedly dismissed his men and closed the door of the office.

“… … What happened?”

“I came to see my mother.”

A long explanation was not necessary.

There’s no way a wizard the size of Coltman couldn’t have noticed the changes in my body. Since it was the shackles he had filled, he would have known it best.

The core that confined mana was broken.

My magical achievement was still hovering around the 4-star, so I wouldn’t have thought that it would be broken overnight without a sign.

“You mean you met a fairy?”

“Yes. You’ve suppressed your mana, so you’ll be fine for a while.”

“How much time do you have?”

“It’s been a year.”

“The last four magic achievements I saw were only halfway between four stars. But how… … .”

Coltman stopped talking and shook his head. It didn’t matter how.

“I was thinking of letting you know when spring comes.”

“If you tell me that sooner, what’s wrong with it? If I had known, I would have practiced magic less.”

“Do you remember what I said?”

“Sacrifice shouldn’t be pretty.”

We must rebuke those who speak lightly of sacrifice, be wary of those who believe they are right, and be angry at those who take it for granted.

These are the words Coltman said as he gathered the soldiers and students together after the raid.

Why?

If you think about it, the answer is simple. The reason why Coltman went to the Black Fairy and asked for it.

“… … They were all talking to me.”

From the beginning, Rockstrin was a tool.

As a child, she hid herself from the court wizards and taught her magic so that she could use it when it was appropriate. It was no different from Baeller.

I shook my head.

“I don’t particularly hate my father.”

“But a year.”

Originally, it would have been deliberately used.

If a crisis equaled or surpassed an air raid, he would have intended to solve it with the power of a fairy who had exchanged lifespan by breaking the mana core.

Since I broke the magic core myself, it became difficult. The continent that has passed the big crisis right now looks calm.

“You don’t have to worry. This damn fairy’s power has a place to be used up in a year.”

“Can you see the future?”

“Yes, I see.”

[NEXT EPISODE?]

Ⅺ. dying spring

:D-1

It looks very good.

Should I just show it? you can touch

“The future in which the entire continent is headed for ruin within a year is very clear.”

“Is there a plan?”

“You ask the same question, so I will give you the same answer.”

I replied with a smile.

“I have a way.”
