Kick kick.

happy.

I am so happy.

“Wow! I succeeded!”

A beautiful woman with black hair, staring blankly at her own pierced heart.

You can clearly hear everyone’s emotions fluctuating greatly around her.

“Hera!!!!!”

Athena, the heroine of the sun. Whether she was a good person or a bad person, she always showed off her dignified appearance.

She was showing off a haggard face that she had never shown before.

As if she had forgotten that she was right next to him, she ran to the woman who was vomiting blood and screamed loudly.

It satisfied me so much.

It’s not just her.

“Treatment isn’t working.”

The saintess is frustrated and unable to believe it.

“Mom…Mom…”

A young dragon looking at his mother with trembling eyes.

“Sister!!!”

A warrior running in a hurry, soaked in despair.

Besides them, there are beautiful women who are in despair.

Each and every one of their emotions was being conveyed to him clearly.

“Heeheeheeheheehee!! Yes..this is it..this is it!!”

A scream filled with exclamations.

Frustration with no hope in sight.

Anger that roars, having lost its way.

Everything is perfect.

This place was paradise.

“Hehehe…you did a great job coming down.”

Originally, an immortal like himself could not descend to the earth.

The Celestial God. Because that damn thing set the rules like that.

So, he always had to spread disasters across the continent through his agent, the Demon King.

But he came down himself, and so he could meet this perfect ending.

How to break the rule that immortals cannot descend to Earth.

That’s true. It was a very simple method that even a child could think of.

Wouldn’t it be okay for you to step down from your position as an immortal?

I gave up cleanly.

The immortal destiny. The power that goes with it.

And the price for that is being revealed right now, at this very moment.

As I slowly raised my hand, I saw the back of my hand slowly starting to take on color.

Evidence that we are turning into weak mortals.

It will soon lose its power completely.

Until now, they had been dealt with with the power of the demon that had not yet disappeared.

Now, I can’t be a match for those monster-like women.

Now he himself will die.

The end will come for the once immortal being.

But I don’t regret it one bit.

In the first place, why did you give up your immortal position and come down here in person?

Because I was confident.

If only that woman disappeared, the world would be engulfed in flames again.

Even if he disappears from the world.

“Kidukkiduk.”

I saw the beautiful eyes of a woman slowly losing their light right before my eyes.

And surrounding her, the figures of heroes shedding tears of blood also came into sharp focus.

How can it be this sweet?

This fight made me certain that it was my victory.

okay.

This fight is your own victory.

In the past. In the present. And in the future.

*

I don’t know when it started.

But then suddenly this thought occurred to me.

What is love?

The passionate heart that Athena sends me.

The mind that Lily has is so frighteningly strong.

The endless affection that Marie sends me.

The warm support of my older sister Dania, who always takes care of me kindly.

Also, the vivid and beautiful colors that others show me.

Are those things love?

I just couldn’t be sure.

.

.

.

I can’t breathe well.

“Coolook…”

Every time I inhaled, my whole body felt like it was on fire, and every time I exhaled, a handful of blood flowed out through my mouth.

“Hera, come to your senses. Iris will heal you.”

I feel it with my whole body. This thorn that has dug into my heart will not stop until it takes my life.

Even if it’s Iris, this wound will never be healed.

The power of the demon. It would be difficult for Iris to overcome that.

“Hera! Can’t you hear me? Come to your senses!!”

Athena grabs my face with an urgent expression.

Athena…Have you ever seen her so shaken up?

I shouldn’t be like this, but… I don’t feel that bad.

“Mom..Mom..No..Don’t go..”

But when I saw Marie’s face, my excitement sank back to the bottom.

Marie is shedding a huge amount of tears.

I raised my trembling hand and placed it against her cheek.

“Daughter…don’t cry..”

“Mom!! Mom!!”

Sorry.

I’m sorry for being a mother who only makes her daughter worry like this.

I want to wake up.

I want to stand up confidently without any hesitation…

I couldn’t say anything as my consciousness slowly faded away.

“Sister, don’t die. If you die, I’ll die with you.”

My younger brother, with empty eyes and tears of blood.

My heart ached when I saw her like that.

“Lily…hey…”

“Sister! I told you! If you die like this, I’ll die with you!!”

Even though Lily spoke in a threatening manner, I wasn’t worried at all because I knew how kind of a child she was.

Behind Lily, who was trembling all over, the others looked on with anxious expressions.

“No. Mind….-

I wanted to hear it though.

Because of my fading consciousness, I started to miss their voices.

“Hera! Look straight into my eyes! Come to your senses!!”

I was scared.

My body was slowly trembling in the unknown realm of death.

I never imagined I would die so suddenly.

But why is that?

Than the fear of death.

The greater reason is the comfort of not having to feel guilty anymore.

“Athena…”

Yeah, it worked out well anyway.

You already knew it.

I don’t deserve to be by their side.

It was a reason I couldn’t tell anyone. Even if I don’t die now, I will leave them.

Because I was a sinner.

It ended up like this… It’s not a bad situation.

“Would you please grant me my last request..?”

Their eyes began to flutter.

Among them, Athena grabbed me with a very angry expression.

“Don’t say nonsense!! Even you, I can’t forgive you for saying such things!!”

“Coolook..”

“..!!!”

Athena, who was looking at me spitting out blood, suddenly crumpled her face and looked up at the sky, starting to scream.

“Ah …

Unable to bear the anger, Athena began to strike her head hard with her hand.

“Fuck!!Fuck!!Fuck!!”

I took Athena’s hand. She looked at me earnestly with her eyes brimming with tears.

“Hera..please…don’t go..”

“Athena..”

My eyes slowly began to close.

Now I couldn’t even feel anything anymore.

‘..I guess it’s impossible to tell everyone.’

As I reached out my hand, they gently took my hand.

My precious little sister Lily, who became my first family.

Even though she’s not here, Dania, the one I rely on the most.

My daughter Marie, whom I cherish most in this world.

Our first encounter wasn’t a good one, but now that I think about it, Sephir was the one who made me laugh more than anyone else.

A little bit naughty, but still a kind-hearted fool. Iris.

Ariel, who willingly became my friend even though it was our first time meeting.

Although he committed many sins because of the desires planted by the devil, his true form is the gentle Arbes.

Tyros is cold on the outside but secretly warm on the inside.

and.

“Athena… won’t you hold my hand..?”

As I gave her a shallow smile, her eyes began to shake violently.

But the kind woman eventually burst into tears and held my hand warmly.

It taught me hatred, fear, frustration, bitterness, and loneliness.

Warmth. Kindness. Comfort….

Taught me love.

Athena.

“Don’t be sad without me… No… That would be a bit bitter… Just be a little sad… Hehe… ”

Athena rubbed her head against my hand and began to cry sadly.

“Everyone..must..live happily..? I..will continue to watch over you even after I die..”

It wasn’t just Athena. Lily, Sephir and Mari, Iris and Ariel, Tyros and Arbes.

They were all crying sadly for me.

Me, such a liar.

Me using their hearts.

“Oh my…Mom…No…”

“Sister….please..”

thank you.

Thank you for taking care of me like this.

Thank you for loving me like this.

There were so many things I wanted to say to them, but they were overflowing.

Life, slowly fading away, no longer allows words.

Just one more word.

I took a deep breath and tried to catch my breath.

I spoke to them, holding on to my last breath that I had barely found.

“I…love…you…”

That concludes it all.

My consciousness sank into darkness.

*

It’s quiet.

It’s so damn quiet.

“…..Hera?”

Have you ever had hands that tremble like this?

Have you ever been this terrified?

I placed my trembling hand on Hera’s cheek. I could feel her skin, which had lost its warmth and turned cold.

“Hera..Please answer..”

Please.

If you order me to save the world, I will take up my sword and fight right away.

If you tell me to rebel, I will cut off the emperor’s head without hesitation.

Whether it’s a god, a goddess, or anyone else, I’ll make it happen if you want.

So please…

please..

Don’t leave me alone.
