Justitia had a dream.

It wasn’t just an act from sleep, it was also a dream she had always had.

she is a warrior He was born with the qualities of a hero and pledged himself to become a hero.

But that didn’t mean she didn’t have other dreams.

She dreamed of a prince from a fairy tale who came running to save her in the moment of crisis. Of course I know.

It is usually impossible for her to fall into danger, and there is no prince who can save her.

That’s natural. Because she is the one and only [hero].

That is why this dream felt particularly sweet.

‘From the exotic black hair unique to the Commonwealth to the eyes that seem to contain the sky… … .’

The look she likes.

A dream in which such a prince appears after breaking her curse.

Falling in love isn’t a problem if it’s such a dramatic encounter.

It seemed oddly specific, but Justitia didn’t care too much about it. Isn’t it a dream anyway?

It doesn’t matter if she does whatever she wants.

“Um… … .”

Justitia gradually woke up from her dream and felt her mind awaken.

I never imagined that sleeping would be such a sweet thing.

will it happen or not?

Justitia went to sleep as if she was going to make up for everything she lacked, but she knew it was time to wake up.

What’s more, I was greedy, but my body wasn’t keeping up with it. The only thing she could feel satisfied with now was the comfort of the bed and blanket.

Of course, that was enough… … .

‘hahahaha, this is true.’

I could feel the presence of Eleanor staring at her.

I could feel the presence of one more person, but it was probably a doctor or a priest.

‘I am loved too.’

It is clear that Eleanor was worried about her, who must have collapsed in the middle.

‘Noah seems to be worried too, so I’ll have to get up soon.’

Justitia opened her eyes in a happy mood. And in front of Justitia’s eyes, as expected.

“uh… … .”

No, it was a little different from what I expected.

Eleanor was the first to see. It’s just that the person behind her… … .

“I’m glad you woke up. Hero Justitia. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Oz Quoba… … .”

“Quaaa!!”

Justitia felt the gap between dreams and reality closing in an instant. Between the memories flowing like a panorama, Justitia screamed.

‘uh? uh huh Where? How far is the dream? uh? Key, did you kiss? did you do it Is that even for someone you’ve never met?’

While Justitia was confused, Eleanor said with a cold look.

“Youth sister, this is your teacher. Have I ever spoken to you before?”

“oh… … ugh… … Eh… … .”

Justitia felt suffocated by Eleanor’s explanation that followed.

crazy obviously crazy

‘If you’re the teacher Eleanor said… … !’

[Successor of the King of Darkness]

Oz Quo Vadis

It must have been someone she liked. Of course, Eleanor herself vehemently denied that fact, but Justitia knew.

Because the attitude was too blatant.

She was only forced to avert her eyes because she had so many things on her back.

Justitia knew that too, so she didn’t touch that part. It’ll just be confusing.

So how is the situation now?

Who the hell is adding to the confusion right now?

How could Eleanor do such a thing to someone she liked? No, that’s not it.

The problem isn’t who you like in the first place, it’s the fact that you did that to someone you’ve never met before.

There is no such thing as a crazy year.

“No, Noah… … .”

Justitia carefully lifted her head and looked at her, as if looking into Eleanor’s eyes.

Eleanor was looking at her anxiously.

However, in those eyes, a torrent of emotions greater than worry was intertwined.

It was a torrent of emotions that Justitia had never seen in her life, so she couldn’t help but be flustered.

“Sister Youth. That’s fortunate. I’ve been waiting for you to wake up.”

“Ah, yes, I was worried… … no, what? You waited?”

Justitia thought something was different. ‘Wait.’ No wonder. But here, isn’t it ‘I was worried’, to put it bluntly?

Of course, it could be Justitia’s nervousness. But she couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling.

Isn’t that how things are now!

“Yes, I waited. I was worried, but I have something I want to ask you separately.”

“What I want to ask… … . ah! that’s right Is it like trouble counseling?”

Justitia answered while forcing a bright smile.

He didn’t even look in the direction Oz was. When I looked at it, it seemed that I couldn’t stand it no matter what.

“Yes, it is similar.”

“Yeah, then there’s nothing you can do~”

Justitia nodded her head as she looked at Eleanor, who had been waiting for her for counseling.

“Since this is also related to my sister, I really wanted to consult with her.”

“That, is it? What are you worried about?”

Justitia forced a smile. And Eleanor smiled at Justitia’s face and shared her concerns.

“I have A and B.”

“A and B… … ! I see.”

Justitia responded at first.

It was only to that extent that there was a high probability that one of those A and B was himself, but it didn’t matter.

There was nothing I could do now except respond.

Eleanor scratched her head and continued her explanation of A and B.

“To begin with, both are very precious to me.”

“Important thing… … .”

Justitia was so moved that she forgot what the current situation was like at those words, and nodded her head.

Isn’t it wonderful to be precious?

However, even she couldn’t freeze at Eleanor’s words that followed.

“So. I’m not sure which one to stab.”

“uh… … ?”

Are you still awake?

Justitia agonized over her hair for no reason.

Maybe you’re still dreaming. Or the curse was less lifted.

I’d rather have that.

“Hey, it’s hard to understand when you say that… … .”

“Ah, yes. This is something that has been constantly running around in my head… … . I forgot to explain.”

Eleanor smiled bashfully at her point. Seeing that, Justitia wondered if what she had heard was an illusion.

But that was until I heard the next words.

“A and B are precious things to me. But it turns out this time that A can change B.”

“Uh… … .”

Could it be that we were talking about things rather than people? Yes, then there’s nothing I can’t understand.

but… … .

What is it?

No matter how much I try to think positively, I can’t erase the feeling.

“So, I need to stab either A or B, but what should I do?”

“… … Is there any way to just keep the two apart?”

Are you talking about me? Are you thinking of stabbing yourself if you make a mistake?

Justitia couldn’t bear to say anything behind her back and just stared carefully at Eleanor’s face.

“… … .”

silence and stare. That was all of Eleanor’s attitude.

What was in Eleanor’s eyes was an emotion that even she, who had become a warrior through countless adventures, could not read.

‘Uh… … .’

Justitia couldn’t bear to meet Eleanor’s eyes for long.

In the end, she had no choice but to avoid Eleanor’s eyes.

And what I see in a place where I avoid my eyes is Oz, who looks particularly uncomfortable.

obviously it’s your fault It’s really unfortunate, but at the same time… … .

‘The face is, um, yes. It’s good too. definitely handsome I think I can understand why people call him a prince.’

It would be unavoidable to think of such thoughts.

Apart from the other person, isn’t it the first kiss for her?

“… … sister?”

“Hut!”

But that thought couldn’t last too long. The cold word that Eleanor called herself had many meanings.

“Sister and teacher. I have many precious things.”

“uh? uh… … yes.”

“… … .”

Oz responded appropriately to Eleanor’s sudden words, and Justitia remained silent.

she knew The meaning of bringing out those words right now.

“I am afraid that those precious things will meet and deteriorate.”

that’s a deterrent

“My sister did just that. Is there any way to drop it? Come to think of it, I think it might be possible.”

“… … .”

“What do you think of my sister?”

Eleanor said it as if she remembered it now, but there was a clear intention in her words.

If you understand, you will fall.

‘Oh, I see. This kid… … .’

Justitia finally realized.

Her world had changed drastically once.

And at the same time, she lost it all overnight.

That must have been why he was anxious.

What she thought was precious was getting away in some way.

Eleanor resembles her, but the essence is different.

No matter how much she inherited the same blood, Eleanor had been alone for too long.

She was able to overcome many things, but not all of them. An essential fear permeates deep inside her.

That’s why you’re obsessed. what you think is important.

“Eleanor.”

“Yeah, what do you think… … . ah.”

Justitia quietly hugged Eleanor.

He said he was nearby so as not to harbor anxiety.

“Has it been difficult for you? It’s okay to not be so anxious anymore.”

“Yeah? no, that’s not it… … .”

“My sister understands everything.”

At first, Eleanor tried to make excuses, as if that wasn’t the case, but then she had no choice but to remain silent.

I felt the warmth. Anxiety she didn’t even know she felt was receding.

Eleanor unknowingly hugged Justitia.

“Yeah, that was scary. It’s okay now.”

“Yeah… … .”

Come to think of it, Eleanor was right next to her when she opened her eyes.

It was said that he was worried about her and had been by his side all along. She was just expressing her feelings in the form of obsession, and she was just anxious.

“We are a family.”

Eleanor was afraid to lose again. It was natural for her to not know what to do after she had lost everything even after trying once.

The two are family.

They are beings that support each other.

‘Though that and this are different.’

But now we can’t see each other’s expressions because we’re hugging each other.

The two of them began to have different feelings in the middle of the day. It was the moment when Oz’s complexion turned pale in an instant.

* * *

To be honest, I don’t know what the current situation is.

At first it was just awkward.

I didn’t know what to look like with a person named Justitia.

To be honest, it’s bound to be awkward.

no, um yes. There may be. Didn’t I become Oz and acquire an astonishing probability?

It was enough to think that it could be there someday.

But I didn’t think that it would be done through this object in this way in this situation.

Extreme awkwardness. How did you succeed in suppressing it somehow and acting normally?

By the way… … .

“Well… … .”

What the hell is this?

Why are the two of them hugging and crying all of a sudden?

I wish someone could explain it to me too. Rather, what should I do from now on?

Should I just watch this scene? Or should I avoid the seat noticeably? It’s so confusing.

But what scares me most of all.

It is the existence of Justitia who is sending subtle glances at me while hugging Eleanor.

No, I feel like I’m in a heartbreaking situation right now, but it’s a bit… … . Isn’t it like the scene of an affair?

What’s even surprising is that I feel like Justitia is the one committing the affair, not me.

What is this? Something… … . I’m scared.

“… … I’ll come back later.”

I guess I need to get out of this place.

It feels like something unknown is choking me.

Once you wake up safely, that’s fine.

* * *

Escape from the most awkward place and walk along the main street.

“Apostle of Dawn… … .”

“It is an apostle.”

well, yes It’s true that it’s awkward everywhere.

When I used [Those who challenge the divinity] to restore broken limbs, my existence was discovered.

I couldn’t help but listen.

[The one who challenges the divine] is also a transcendent level magic like [Prometheus].

Unlike the borrowed magic [Prometheus], it was possible to adjust its output, but the range, including the minimum amount of mana, was not something that could be hidden.

It’s really irritating, but since you’ve been caught, it’s better to stand up proudly here.

People’s eyes will protect me from the group of assassins.

However, it is difficult to contact ＜Tenebris＞ in this way.

That’s why I’m going to go to the dark alley.

“Are you done cleaning up?”

“Whoa… … . I sometimes forget it, but when I see him being chased by so many assassins, I realize that Prince Oz is the successor to the King of Darkness.”

What was in the alleyway was Lucia and a group of assassins who had fallen at her hands. one two three four… … . At first glance, there are more than 10 people.

This is why I am popular. I didn’t expect so many assassins to come to this city in that short period of time.

“Yes, there are many.”

Of course, since I was caught, I could fully expect that assassins targeting me would gather.

So, in order to contact ＜Tenebris＞, I had to organize it in this way once.

Basically, I’m like a bait, so ＜Tenebris＞ will sort things out… … .

It feels like the debt is increasing, so I can’t hide my embarrassment.

“This contact means that the hero has awakened, right?”

“yes.”

Lucia had been waiting while hiding her presence as much as possible.

It was because Justitia’s senses were excellent, so she couldn’t even get close to that side.

Didn’t she break a bone just a short while ago?

In such a situation, there is no way I can approach her again.

If her disposition was wrong, she would have realized for the first time that it was her tendency to commit and see.

“Then it is a question. What did you decide to do about the last time you two were kissing?”

Why are you asking such a question from the beginning? Do you have any complaints about me?

When I sent her eyes with that meaning, Lucia let out a deep sigh and said,

“Hey Prince Oz. This is a pretty sensitive issue. Aren’t you more aware of how much power you have?”

I am a kind of strategic weapon handling. This is true not only for me, but also for all wizards of the elder level.

Then what about warriors? Even if you can’t, you’ll probably be treated the same.

What will be the relationship between the two strategic weapons of different nationalities? ok, i’ll admit It’s worth wondering

“Looking at what you’re doing, fortunately there doesn’t seem to be much progress.”

Does being fortunate mean that he was interested in me? no, that can’t be

At least, if he had had such a mind, he wouldn’t have been so businesslike.

“More than that, the problem is Eleanor.”

“Why Noah? What else have you done in the meantime?”

“Wouldn’t you have seen it then too?”

I told Eleanor about half of the truth.

It’s the level that I knew about her, but that alone would have shocked me.

“The atmosphere is a bit different these days. Are you still resentful of me?”

I knew I couldn’t go back to the relationship I had before.

That’s why you need to build a new relationship with her.

But the problem is that I can’t come up with a way to rectify this.

After returning from ＜Chrysos＞, even though I had insisted that I was on your side all along, Eleanor only averted her eyes and walked away.

It means that you can’t even have a proper conversation.

“Prince of Oz? It’s not like that, so I think it’ll be fine if you don’t mind.”

“No, but it’s only after being warned like this… … .”

“Prince of Oz? Don’t make me say it twice because it annoys me. It’s not like that, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“… … .”

Lucia looks at me as if she sees something disgusting.

No, is it necessary to look that far? I’m hurt… … .

“Shouldn’t you rather worry about the other side?”

“What are you worried about?”

“Prince of Oz. I can’t help but worry, seeing that you’re serious about asking that. Just in case you didn’t know, always have a sword-proof suit in your arms… … . No, wouldn’t that be useless if it were a great sword?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Maybe it would be better to just search for it.”

Lucia started looking at me again with a disgusted expression.

Being human today is scary.
