125 – Fire Moths (6)

From the first time Damian saw Parquel coming out of the exit, he could tell that he was quite strong.

Knowing how to measure the gap with your opponent was a basic skill you should have as a military commander, so it wasn’t difficult. He seemed to be a person on the lower row of the cardinals he had seen in the forest the other day, but he was probably a pagan holding the title of bishop in every parish in Luden.

I was just speculating, not sure.

Even if he knew the future, he only knew what was written in the book, and this was extremely limited information. Still, his heart was already convinced.

The peculiar feeling of the pagans made his senses keen, so Damian immediately put his sword in his hand and stood in front of Elena.

It’s not an opponent you can’t kill.

I could tell just by looking at him that he was lower than me. It is not an opponent worthy of a sense of crisis. However, Damian’s behavior was not like that, and he acted like a person who couldn’t afford it. The reason is the girl next to him. Elena was the reason.

As soon as he saw Farkel, it was instinct to stand in front of her with a sword.

While I was here, my body moved naturally to it, despite Elena’s prior warnings. She wasn’t the weak one who needed to be protected, but because Damian was always the one to protect, it was unavoidable even though she made a promise.

“Damian. Promise.”

When Elena spoke to me, Damian realized that he had reflexively stood in front of her. But even so, Damian did not leave immediately. It was because he was worried about Elena. After reading Damian’s feelings, Elena made eye contact with him for a moment before opening her mouth again.

“Appointment.”

It was a very soft voice. To the point where it doesn’t fit the current situation.

“…OK.”

The second time she heard her words, Damian had no choice but to move away. Because it was a promise. I couldn’t hold out for long. Elena smiled at Damian, who moved away. It resembled what children build before bragging to their parents.

Elena’s actions after that were simple.

He raised his finger towards Farkel, who was standing in front of him. That was all.

At that moment, Damian felt the back of Elena standing in front of him like something far away.

Her reflection in his eyes was a mountain with no end in sight, or a gigantic giant reaching the end of the sky. In the end, it became the brightest star in the sky. It wasn’t that Elena had changed into something else. She just raised her finger and Damian felt that something was leaking from her.

Damian had memories of encountering people with similar feelings in the past. They didn’t have an image as strong as Elena’s, but they showed something different from the others.

Arthur and the swordsman.

Overwhelmingly strong people called transcendents.

The remoteness felt by those who crossed the limits as living beings beyond the human species, felt similar to what I felt in Elena now. It was a momentary illusion, but even though Elena was right in front of him, Damian felt as if the distance between him and her was like a star floating above his head.

far and near It’s contradictory, but I felt that way. It wasn’t a place I couldn’t reach forever, but it was still lacking now.

In fact, I already knew it in my head. After all, it is quite shocking to see it with my own two eyes.

A white flash filled the black space in the alley where the only light was the stars and the moon in the far-high sky. To others walking along the street, it was a brief moment, enough for a candle to flicker for a moment, but that fleeting moment seemed like an eternity to someone.

The light of the stars shining in the sky is reproduced on the ground and strikes Parkel’s whole body. It was a light that shone for a very short time, but that time was meaningless to the light. By the time Farkel recognized the light, it was after the starlight created by Elena had already shattered his body.

“Turn it off-!!”

Parquell, who was struck directly by the light, slumped to the ground with a short groan. Although he was a human being placed in the rank of a pagan bishop, he was repulsed without much resistance.

After confirming that Parkel was completely incapacitated, Elena turned her head and looked at Damian with the same face as before. The opponent she just defeated was a pagan bishop, but Elena didn’t seem to be very moved by the victory just now.

Rather, Elena’s spirit was focused on Damian, and how he reacted when he saw her. seemed to be looking into it.

“how is it?”

Damian was finally able to wake up from his thoughts at Elena’s voice.

It seemed like he was far away earlier, but when he returned to reality, he saw Elena’s face looking at him right in front of his nose. Elena, unlike the first time, was somewhat uneasy, probably because she had lost her mind for a while.

“Damian?”

Was it because of the sudden distance? Damian unconsciously reached out for her. Because her cheeks were hanging down, Elena’s pronunciation was naturally muffled.

“…At the end of the day…”

“Helena. Hold on. I need some stability now.”

The soft feel of the ball feels good.

Elena was embarrassed by Damian’s behavior, but she didn’t seem to hate it. It was a prank that Damian played on her quite often from before, so after hearing Damian’s words, she accepted Damian’s hand without saying anything.

My head was confused, perhaps because I had seen so much, but it slowly began to be sorted out by Elena’s usual appearance. Nothing had changed, and she was still Elena Edelweiss. That was enough, so I decided not to think about anything other than this.

When he came back to his senses and looked at Elena, she seemed to be expecting how Damian would react. Seeing that, Damian unknowingly laughed, but he was agonizing over what to say. In the end, choosing and choosing, Damian said a simple word to Elena.

“Well done.”

“Is that all?”

“Then, shall we somersault while freaking out? Actually, I’d like to say something more, but I’m just going to stop here. Have I missed something?”

Seeing Damian’s hand stroking her hair, Elena looked a bit worried and shook her head.

“No. This is enough. Can you stroke me some more?”

“However much.”

“Um, hug me again.”

“As expected, it wasn’t enough.”

As he hugged Elena, Farkel came into view beyond her. As if he hadn’t died, he could hear his faint breathing.

“ah.”

The current had somehow crossed and gone, but now the two had come to rescue Eltman from the cultists. Since the bishop was down there, even if nothing big happened, he had to go find Eltman.

Seeing as how Farkel had secretly escaped, it seemed certain that he was all right, but there was a what-if.

Of course, only Damian cared about that.

Even if it seems like the host and guest have been overturned, this is what Elena was aiming for in the first place. Damian praised her, so it was good for her.

“…What kind of stairs…so long…”

As I was about to enter the exit from which Parkel came out, I heard a voice from there. It was a voice full of breath, but it was a familiar voice. Soon after, the owner of the voice appeared. The first thing that came through the door was a golem that seemed to be clad in armor, but the next thing to appear was a person.

Silver hair and purple eyes reflected in the moonlight tell us who he is.

“Damn it. If it had been this long, it would have been enough to run away… Elena? And even her sister-in-law? No, why is it here? Huh? What is it? Why is it lying here again?!”

A face that is different from the last time I saw it. There’s even a talkative look than it looks. Anyone who saw it would think he was a completely different person, but he was definitely Eltman Edelweiss. Originally, the appearance of Eltman that Damian had seen in the novel was like this, so the previous meeting was a special case.

Seeing Eltman calmly come out of the room, Damian felt his tension melt away. It was natural to call him brother-in-law, and the Eltman he saw in the novel was right. Damian greeted him with a nod.

I came running, worrying a lot about something, but when I arrived, things were solved easily and easily, so there is no sense of futility. I wonder if I was worrying for no reason, and I think I’m losing my pulse in many ways. However, this thought quickly vanished when I saw the two of them smiling and smiling.

Still, no one was hurt, so it was okay.

Come to think of it, that was enough.
