69 – Double-edged Flower (5)

* * * *

A hut made of materials that are different from the hut where the boy and the girl lived their feeble lives before experiencing a return.

Unlike cabins where the smell of rotting trees stings your nose, this house embraces your senses with a pleasant calm like the smell of old books in the library.

hehehe

The effort and sincerity of such elves are put into the cabin, and the girl’s unique innocent laughter fills the cabin, which is not very loud but gives off a quiet atmosphere.

He was so happy that he spread his left hand endlessly and the sunset dimly filtering in through the window behind him made the blue butterflies even more dazzling.

No, actually, the glow of the sunset was not that important to the girl.

The important thing was that the blue butterfly, which must have been elaborately crafted so that even the princess herself could not help but admire, was adorning the ring finger of her left hand.

‘I don’t know where the hell Finn got these things from.’

There was no way the boy would openly inform the girl that he was going to the treasure room to get the ring, so the girl was just amazed at the fact that the boy managed to secretly stock up on such an expensive item.

No, maybe, like when he was a servant, he poured all the money he had saved up to this point into this ring… .

The girl was given a hairpin as a gift by the boy whom she had arbitrarily asked to process into a ring… I remembered the ring that was.

Maybe the boy is for this time. The thought that she might have prepared the ring in advance only for the day when the right opportunity to hand it over lingered in the girl’s heart.

It was because I thought it might have been prepared despite not even promising when that day would be.

But I couldn’t ask for more details about the origin of the ring.

It was because he did not take the attitude that he wanted the boy to show off this or to know that he had worked hard to get the ring.

In such a situation, it was not basic courtesy to ask where he got this ring, how much he paid for it, and when he bought it.

Not to mention, the girl had acted with the boy thinking of more than basic etiquette, so she couldn’t carelessly ask him questions even out of simple curiosity.

Beyond the hairpin that even the princess herself could wear without hesitation, a ring that even she herself would not be able to easily purchase.

The jewel written on the butterfly was a jewel that she had never seen before, so it was impossible to know its identity, but the jewel covering the outer surface of the ring was a closely packed diamond.

The girl could only guess because she witnessed the scene right in front of her eyes, but she could think that this ring contained the ancient magic of the elves.

An opaque vine extending from the body of a butterfly.

And from the moment the vine entwined the boy and girl’s fingers like a red thread, smoke of an unusual color swirled around the boy’s chest.

‘light… green?’

For some reason, she was a girl who could instinctively understand the meaning of the color green without anyone else telling her what it meant.

Ando.

Yes. The girl could see that the boy was relieved that he had given her the ring.

The fact that the boy was relieved was a girl who had no doubts. In a way, wouldn’t it be possible to be relieved by the fact that the same act as a proposal was completed safely?

However, what was surprising was that from then on, he was able to see the emotions the boy was feeling in a clear form.

In order to observe the boy’s eyes, he was able to understand the emotion without looking at the boy’s face.

The moment the girl realized that fact, she couldn’t help but burst into tears once again.

Isn’t all of this a gift for herself who has a sense of debt to the boy? It was because I thought.

‘Don’t bother looking at me. There is no need for that. Even if you say that, wouldn’t it be possible to expect that I would try to understand Finn’s intentions, so he put this effect on the ring?’

By wearing this ring, the number of cases in which a girl is worried about not knowing the boy’s heart has disappeared.

Besides this… Although the target is limited to boys, in a way, the fact that he handed over to himself a tool that can demonstrate the ability of higher compatibility than Grace’s ability to distinguish between truth and lies means that he trusts himself and does not care at all.

How could this girl in love not be delighted?

That’s why every time these complicated reasons were counted, they roamed around the girl’s heart and head as if they were taking over the ring, so the girl accepted the boy’s request and decided to wait for him at home.

The boy must have been tired from the long trip, and I will pack and bring a meal, so the boy asked me to wait quietly at home.

Originally, she was a girl who would follow the boy because she wanted to be with him, but she silently nodded as she sensed the boy’s feelings of anticipation and excitement.

‘I’m sure you want to eat alone in this cabin with no other people around, right?’

When a girl goes down the road with a boy, it’s a turn of events. It was natural that we would eat together at the restaurant we arrived at.

“Because it’s really cute.”

A smile bloomed across the girl’s face.

The boy who showed only an infinitely calm side to others, and when he went into battle, he didn’t even treat humans as his own if he was an enemy.

As far as dating was concerned, it was not unusual to show a clumsy appearance like a child.

The memory that passed through the mind of the girl who had been laughing for a while.

-One bed is enough. The size is rather large.

“Or, no way, right after I finish eating…?!”

The girl had also heard of it.

The fact that men usually express a woman’s body like a sweet dessert.

The story of the same gender as the beast of desire, which is a reinterpretation of the phrase that a girl is made of sweet things in a fairy tale for children, according to desire.

Is it really necessary to reveal the source? It was Marianne, the girl’s maid.

Soon after, the girl starts to panic and panic.

“Uh, what should I do?! As soon as the meal is over, if he attacks me and says, ‘Then, can we eat dessert now’…!”

“Underwear…! Change your underwear beforehand! No, negligee is better?! Or…”

There was a voice that stiffened the girl’s movements, which had been flung like a squirrel.

[I… Princess?]

“…ah?”

A boy’s voice came from somewhere. No, the boy’s voice, resounding as if it had been hit directly in the head, hardened the girl’s body like a stone.

“Pi, Finn…?”

At the same time, the eyes of a girl who lost her way and wandered.

Even so, he seemed to be looking for where the hell the boy was talking to him.

Even so, the boy’s figure was not even a blurry silhouette, and the boy’s voice, which would calm the girl’s question, resonated in her head.

[I forgot to tell you. If you touch the butterfly shape of the ring… Like communication magic, you can send and receive voices. Like now.]

However, this time instead of doubt, shame surged up, and the girl’s face turned red.

“Uh, since when… have you been listening?”

[…] .]

Silence flowing for a while.

“Tell me…Fin….”

When the girl’s crying voice anxiously called the boy’s name, the boy announced the desperate fact in a voice that seemed to be unavoidable.

[that… Ever since you laughed like hee hee… .]

“aaah”

Intuition from the beginning of the girl’s shameful. No, the fact that I was asking directly.

* * * *

“Please stop feeling better, princess… I’m sorry…”

On a night when the sunset was over and the bright moonlight illuminated the secret garden, the girl was still in a state of shock even after the meal was over.

“No… Finn didn’t do anything wrong… It’s all my fault for teasing my mouth… Ahaha…”

“What’s wrong. You were just cute.”

“Ah, yes…? Did I…dessert or underwear?”

“Ah. That’s…”

The boy rolls his eyes here and there to find an appropriate answer.

It bothered me that the girl raised her voice thinking that she might lie down for a while in shame the moment she told me that it was possible to communicate with the ring later to answer that she was cute this time as well.

‘What should I say? Should I say I’m happy? No, this is too animalistic. was it okay then? This is also strange… .’

Even after searching through countless web novels he had seen, there was no way he could come up with an answer, and even if he searched for an answer in the first place, there was no way it would work.

Hadn’t the girl already noticed that she had taken advantage of such a scene even without Opépati Anulus? At this point, when you can also know your emotions with a ring, even trying wasn’t a good choice.

The girl, who could see the boy’s troubled emotions at a glance, turned her head away, unable to overcome her shame.

Then, through the window, the double-edged flowers emitting a bright silver light.

“uh?”

“Why… is that so?”

“No, look over there. The double-edged flower… has bloomed.”

I don’t know if it’s fate, but I was aware during the day that double-edged flowers existed, as if surrounding the hut where the boy and girl stayed.

There was no story in the guide book about buds blooming like this at night, so the boy and girl just stared at the sight for a while in a state of fascination.

Soon after, a girl who opens the brochure again, wondering if her memory was wrong, and a boy who can’t stand the mystery and opens the window to enjoy the scent of flowers along with the night air.

It was because they remembered that the effect of the double-edged flower they had experimented with during the day was subtly narrow, so they judged that it would not affect the hut where they were located.

Kiik- Whiiing-

When I open the window, the pleasant summer night forest air blows in.

As I turned my head to follow the wind, I saw a girl looking through an information booklet, hiding her fluttering hair.

Time spent alone in a cabin in the woods.

In response, the boy recalled the time and memories he had spent with the girl in the cabin before returning.

Pin disappeared, so those times that only you can remember now.

A hut that seemed to be built with expensive wood that was incomparable to that time.

Luxurious food that is incomparable to that time.

A healthy girl who was incomparable to that time, and a healthy self.

and… .

The memory of the last day that became the end of that short but intense, unforgettable memory.

The boy recalled the last image of the girl dying coldly in his arms, bleeding hotly.

The girl who persisted until the very end, hoping that the person she loved would call her name just once.

Even so, that one word.

The ending of a girl who had to say goodbye to life without hearing her name.

‘Never again, I will never let you die like that. Lily.’

“I’ll never let you die like that again, Lily.”

… .

… .

… I. what did you just say… did you?

“…What did you just say, Pin…?”

The trembling eyes of the girl who was reading the information booklet turned to the boy who was covering his mouth with a shocked expression.

The effect of a double-edged flower where the effects of day and night are opposite.

The bud that only blooms at night.

The boy’s sincerity that he had no choice but to hide, that wall.

it was completely torn down.
