105 – Death of Kim Bin (2)

* * * *

The light of the ring Bin gave me flickers several times, and then slowly starts to lose its vitality.

The vivid flapping of the blue butterfly’s wings gradually loses its value as if it has fulfilled its role by becoming a plaster statue.

thud. I heard the sound of my heart sinking.

No, actually, my heart fell from my chest and rolled across the floor in unstoppable anxiety.

“Why am I here?”

I asked Heimdall, who was drooling while looking at me.

His expression suggested he knew something, so he lost his cool and behaved in an unusual manner.

“Do you know something?! Why am I…no, Bean…Is Berry okay?!”

One step out of urgency, the look on his face became clearer as he approached him.

The shadows cast thrust upon me an irreversible reality.

No, it can’t be.

As usual… As always, even this is all his plan.

He’s the kind of person who can easily fool even his allies in order to achieve his goals.

me too. Heimdall too. the magicians too. He must have devised a plan to deceive everyone.

I repeated that to myself and began to correct my rapid breathing.

‘okay… Bean, once before. You’ve faked death before.’

How much did you suffer because of that? Looking back now, it’s to the point where it’s a relief that I didn’t die.

okay.

So he can’t leave me alone.

There was no way she would have done anything foolish, giving up her life in my place.

Leaving me unable to live a single day without you… .

“The effect of Operati Anulus given to Cadet Berry, instead of protecting the opponent, carries the cost of losing his own life. So…”

“It can’t be!!!”

no.

why are you crying You can’t cry.

Crying now would be like acknowledging his words.

So you have to be patient. Lilithiana.

The hot stream of water flows helplessly without even knowing my heart.

Tears welled up to the point that even Heimdall’s face could not be seen properly. It hit the floor and shattered into pieces.

Heimdall’s face must have been facing me, but for some reason he kept silent.

It’s like the consideration of adults who let a child who can’t stand sadness cry to his heart’s content. anxiously.

Trying to tear my heart apart

“That, yes…! Surely in a way you don’t even know he’s…!”

“There’s no way that you, the Faculty of Magic, don’t know what it means to nullify death.”

A very humble tone.

I shouted out loud at the words and actions that confirmed his death.

It’s not Heimdall’s fault, but it seems like Heimdall is taking the bean away from me.

“You know what!!”

“Even if this ring had such an effect, what other strategy would he have come up with…”

“This is what Cadet Berry asked me to do the other day.”

Knock knock.

Heimdall tapped lightly on his wooden table with his index finger.

At the same time, the room glowed red, and a red butterfly rose from the floor.

The shape of the ring of Vienna that remains in my memory.

The butterfly moves its wings and spins. After hovering around me once, I lay down on the plaster statue that was inserted into my finger.

She looks like she is quietly leaning her head on the arms of her sweet lover and trying to fall asleep.

“ah….”

In his tracks, my hand went without my knowledge.

Tok. The softly touching butterfly and my fingers.

Then, as if to prove that it was not an ordinary butterfly, this butterfly was not afraid of my human touch, but rather embraced my fingers with its slender wings.

It was strange.

Was the butterfly this hot?

Despite the pain and heat that seemed like I was going to get burned, I couldn’t even think of getting out of his arms.

If I stay away like this, I wonder if I will never be able to meet him forever.

… No, there is no particular reason why.

Just. I was just anxious.

However, the butterfly moves away from me and continues its delicate flapping of its wings again.

As if it couldn’t hurt me, it slowly circles around me and flies overhead.

and.

“…bean.”

His traces start to scatter and pour down on me like starlight in the night sky.

The butterfly that had been burning hot wrapped me in the warmth that still remained and then disappeared.

I stretched out my hand to capture his warmth generously, but the starlight melted away like sleet in winter.

Took.

Tears welled up and fell on the palms that held his warmth.

“It was a request to make this the transfer location in case you were transferred due to the effects of Operati Anulus. Along with saying that it is the safest place he knows.”

Heimdall said that this phenomenon of my sudden transfer to the academy was the last bastion of Vienna.

“It can’t be… no… it can’t be.”

It’s all lies.

okay.

You are the one who knows best what I would be like without you.

You’ve been watching the horrors from the side.

Don’t play around and show me right now.

Saying I always want to make you smile He said he didn’t want to see me crying in sadness. He said he didn’t do it because he wanted to see his loved one begging.

What is the reason you are doing this?

Did I do something big wrong to you without even knowing it?

… … oh okay. I see

You were the one who said shock therapy worked best for me.

Still, this one was too bad.

Even if I said enough, if it was your words, even if the sun wouldn’t show up from tomorrow, I would have believed it.

What the hell is the reason for doing this?

… Did I, be careless and almost get hit by Selina?

Or were you jealous of Grace clinging to you in secret?

Otherwise… Didn’t listen to me when you told me to sleep, and stayed up all night looking at your face until late at night?

I’ll fix everything.

Now, no matter what happens, I won’t be vigilant.

Because I won’t trust anyone else besides you.

Sleep on time, sleep on time. I’ll eat all the foods I don’t like.

“This is not the time.”

“Quickly, go find Vin…”

Obviously I stayed up all night, skipping meals, all day long. No, if I search for it for days and days, it will suddenly appear in front of me.

He said he didn’t want to reflect on himself in this way.

sigh. shaking my head Like a habit, he would grab his throbbing hair and come to me.

There are a lot of complaints, but I won’t put them in my mouth.

‘Cause I’m afraid you’ll leave me

I don’t want to be punished anymore.

In the first place, if I hadn’t been attacked by that demon, I wouldn’t have received it.

So.

I will be punished quietly without saying anything.

So please… When the punishment is over, please appear in front of me again. please.

“Excuse me. I don’t have time to be here…”

At some point, my hand was placed on the doorknob.

weird.

When did my hands become so scarred?

There are clear scratches on the nails, and if you touch it even slightly, it looks like blood will leak out.

Chijik!

“Aww!”

The moment I grabbed the doorknob and turned it without thinking, a flash of light exploded and a light flashed.

An exhilarating sensation that makes your fingertips go numb.

It was so easy to figure out who the culprit was.

He moved his head lightly and glared at Heimdall.

“Now, what are you doing?”

Heimdall sighed as he silently accepted my gaze.

“Crying, being in pain, despairing, and even blaming yourself are all good. These are natural emotions as a human being.

“…I don’t know what that has to do with me now.”

“Escape from reality is also one of the means of neglecting wounds in the end.”

“Who wants to escape reality…”

“Then tell me. What were you going to do after you left this room?”

“Well, of course I’m looking for Bean…”

“Cadet Berry is dead. I can’t find him anymore. It’s a self-evident fact.”

… .

… .

… I don’t know what you’re talking about.

“Sorry, I’m a bit busy. Excuse me first.”

I grabbed the doorknob and turned it, trying to leave the room.

But a handle that doesn’t budge. It was as if he was holding and turning steel.

“I’m busy…”

Annoyed, he turned his head away.

Heimdall looked at me and lightly snapped his fingers.

A mirror appeared right in front of me, and my current appearance was captured in my eyes.

… Would you like to check it out?

Eyes red with tear marks.

The tip of his nose was also stained red, and his lips were dripping with blood.

The thing that caught my eye the most was my eyes, which seemed to have lost their color.

… thank god.

Leaning his head over the mirror, he asked Heimdall.

“If this is enough, won’t he know that I’m reflecting?”

It may still be lacking a lot, but wouldn’t it be a little acknowledged.

“…”

Heimdall’s eyes narrowed, and soon began to look at me with a crumpled expression.

“So, Cadet Berry left ‘such a request’.”

“You might need a little more certainty.”

Saying so, he waved his hand at me.

An opaque window appeared in front of me.

In the meantime, the scene of the battlefield where I was just before.

“…bean?”

He who gazes at the sky with empty eyes, his… … … cast. Ian Cedric is hugging and screaming.

Irene Justia appeared next.

And appeared in front of them… Mine.

Ian Cedric snatches it up, and begins slashing it down with the ground, like minced meat.

But my eyes were on something other than Ian Cedric.

“why…?”

When the overlapping Ian disappeared, Bin’s appearance became clearer.

Eyes that have lost their vitality and power and remain unmoving.

Don’t worry, live… … Pale skin that is hard to see.

Unlike usual, lips dyed blue.

“Cadet Berry, has already lost his life. No matter how much you suffer, you are not someone you can meet.”

Heimdall picks out just the words I’ve been wanting to avoid and beats me up.

“I understand your guilt, but don’t choose to destroy yourself with something irreversible.”

“Cadet Berry is doing everything he can to save you…”

“Did you just watch?”

I know. That it’s a petty resentment.

But what can you do? That one bothered me first.

If you get hit, you pay it back. because it was bin

“The academy’s headmaster would sit in a chair and watch his students die…!”

“Unfortunately, I’m in a state where I can’t go out of the academy.”

“…What?”

Heimdall smiled self-deprecatingly at my question and opened and closed his hands over and over again.

“Because I also made mistakes many times due to my own complacency. I tried to correct him, and as a result… it ended up looking like this.”

Raise your head and look at me.

sadness and resentment. In one word, I couldn’t even shoot at him with a face that was difficult to describe, and I dropped my eyes.

“Do you know what Cadet Berry left me? You…’Please take action to prevent the princess from getting hurt.’ It was.”

At the same time, Heimdall’s hand spreads out towards me, and all the wounds on the back of the hand are healed.

“He threw himself out in the hopes that you would survive somehow. But what if you do?”

“Then, do you want me to live like this? Without knowing grace. Shamelessly with the life he gave you?!”

A shrill voice echoed through the room.

Living persistently with the life of Bin, who sacrificed instead of me. ‘Cause I’d rather die

But Heimdall informed me that the right to die was not granted.

“Then you mean that you’re not going to take the life that Cadet Berry gave you lightly, even if you can’t cherish it?”

“…”

“Your comrades will be back in a few days, so think carefully until then. What will be the best option for him.”

* * * *

When you open your eyes, you see a space where the dark and muddy floor forms a jicheon.

The feeling of riding on the skin gives goosebumps.

“…It’s been a while.”

familiar voice. As soon as I heard it, I knew that this place was the afterlife that I had only seen in writing.

As I turned my head to find the source of the voice, a friendly face I had met a long time ago sat down on a dingy rock and greeted me.

“How long has this been? It must have been several years. Finn.”

Swordsman Pin. He shook his head at me with a faint smile on his face.

“Unfortunately, the flow of time here and there is different.

“…it must have been boring.”

“That can’t be the case. I’ve walked my whole life with one heart for Her Highness, how can I feel this boredom?”

Well, that’s it too.

“So, did you watch everything?”

Finn shook his head. It seemed like it was a pity to have to taste again.

“I saw the scene where I was with Her Highness in front of my tomb. But I didn’t see anything other than that. The flow of time was so different.”

And he spoke. cautious speech.

“So, how…failed?”

“Well, I don’t know… I’m sorry.

Finn’s eyes lit up.

“Huh? Better than you who used my body to make those movements?”

… This, I feel like the story is going to be quite long.
