by fnovelpiaEastern continent.
It refers to the continent located east of the Northern Continent, which can be said to be the center of the world.
The characteristic of the Eastern Continent is that, unlike the Western or Northern Continents, it values nature, humanity, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and god.
Because deserts have formed in the west and north, most people live in the east and south.
Moreover, it was the continent with the largest population compared to all other continents.
And because of that, the population density in both directions was so serious that it was terrifying.
Even without that, the population density is serious on this continent, which already has a population that is incomparable to that of other continents.
Naturally, people who felt like they were suffocating had no choice but to go north and west.
Once something happened there, it took several days to get it under control.
Because of this, there were often people who did not want to go to the North or the West, no matter how forced they were.
I think it’s a natural reaction, considering that public safety is not that good and it’s not a good place to live.
People were busy lumping together and cursing such people.
But if I had to go to two regions, if there was a unique characteristic of each region, I could say the following.
The West was a place of great historical value, full of relics from ancient times before the constellations existed.
The North has a wealth of rare herbs and resources, so if you go into development, you can make a lot of money.
But now I don’t need historical value or money.
If it was important to restore Enoch’s memories right now, then it would have been important. How could we put it off for the sake of historical value or money?
Here we conclude that there is no way to regain Enoch’s memories.
He walked the path to the East, which was the greatest development on the Eastern Continent.
*
We walked through dozens of toll gates and arrived at a city with a toll gate that would allow us to cross to the east.
But maybe it was because I walked too much.
Enoch collapsed on the spot.
“Lisa… … My legs hurt.”
“Really? Then you want to lie down?”
“No.”
“Then shall we take a short break and go?”
“No.”
“Hmm… … Then what should I do?”
“Try that.”
Enoch looks at me expectantly, pointing at a motorcycle.
It sounded like he was suggesting we go by motorcycle.
But I was reluctant to do that.
Because of the large number of people, traffic congestion is more serious than on the western continent.
As an example, right next to us, motorcyclists were caught in traffic, falling over, fighting with each other, and so on.
So, I had a motorcycle as a means of transportation, but I never used it.
Enoch wanted to ride a motorcycle, so we had to accommodate his pace.
In the first place, if you ride a motorcycle, you can ignore traffic congestion and cross the street, so what’s the problem?
“Okay. Then let’s do that.”
[Sponsor the item, ‘Motorcycle’.]
[Sponsor the item, ‘Safety Helmet x2’.]
“Write it down because there’s a toll gate coming up soon. You never know when you might get attacked.”
“Okay, Lisa.”
We rode a motorcycle.
Naturally, Enoch grabbed my waist.
“Hold on tight. I don’t have a driver’s license.”
“Huh, huh?!?”
“Go.”
Booo!!!
The roar of the motorcycle exhaust caught people’s attention.
People looked at me and Enoch as if they were looking at a biker gang.
But, despite such gazes, he forcibly strengthened the motorcycle’s engine with horsepower.
I turned the handlebar all the way to get maximum speed.
Then the motorcycle, like a runaway train.
I kept moving forward without stopping.
Booo!!!!
“If you don’t want to get hit, get out of here!!!”
I used the fallen motorcycle as an example and destroyed it, warning those who got in my way that this is what would happen to them.
A few people who saw the warning realized that I was a crazy woman and started to pave the way for me one by one.
Unlike those people, there were some people who were dissatisfied with my actions and blocked my path.
“Hey you bitch. Did you pay the road rent?”
A locust insect blocking the road and posing as if it will cut you down the moment you pass.
But I didn’t stop.
It just increased its speed with horsepower and went faster.
“Huh?”
Quats.
Following the flying Chungin after being hit by a motorcycle, the flying Chungin’s blood.
Only then did people realize what a crazy bitch I was, and forcibly tore people apart.
And thanks to the efforts of such people, the number of people who died after being hit by my motorcycle has decreased significantly.
*
We repeatedly hit countless things, flew through the air, and landed, barely maintaining our balance with the power of magic.
I was excited about the thrill of motorcycle driving.
Enoch couldn’t hide his amusement even though he was scared.
Our motorcycle started spewing smoke as if it was begging us to kill it.
Squeak! Boom!!
The motorcycle exploded right next to the toll gate and became unusable.
Enoch survived the explosion unscathed thanks to the sacrifice of his clone, but the motorcycle was so powered up that the explosion power was so high that his clone shattered and scattered into light.
Even though Enoch had lost his memory, he quickly entered the tollgate, perhaps realizing that he might be affected by what had just happened.
The people who had already lined up at the toll gate just stared blankly at Enoch’s swindler.
But as with everything, there are exceptions, and someone tried to catch Enoch in the act.
“Hey kid, if you just got here, you should be standing in the back row. Why are you here?”
“Oh. Was that it? Sorry, it’s my first time here… … .”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. So, hurry up and go to the back row and line up. Otherwise, the line might get longer.
Enoch now realized that his situation was not very good.
So Enoch decided to use his only weapon.
Tears flowed down Enoch’s cheeks.
“Uh, uh… … Uni?”
“Sobㅠ sobㅠ.”
“Why are you suddenly acting like this… … Hey, kid.
Whoever was holding Enoch looked embarrassed.
Then the people behind her glared at her with sharp eyes, as if someone had done something wrong to Enoch.
Enoch’s weapon was proof that his sympathy had worked.
Actually, it was Enoch’s fault. If he had been a little more mature, he wouldn’t have gotten this sympathy.
Enoch was unusually short compared to other men and appeared much younger to others.
To make matters worse, there was also the fact that he was a pretty boy, so people could glare at anyone who made such a pretty boy cry.
As a result, Enoch succeeded in creating a situation that was advantageous to him and gave him the upper hand.
But someone rejected it.
“I don’t know what your circumstances are, but you still can’t. Anyway, go to the back row and wait… … .”
“ㅠ.”
“If you wait… … .”
“ㅠㅠ.”
“… … .”
“ㅠㅠㅠ.”
“Okay. Just stay here.”
But in the end, no one could overcome Enoch’s compassion.
Enoch was eventually given the front seat and escaped the crisis.
Just looking at it like this, I couldn’t help but wonder whose younger sibling it was, and it was so cute I could die.
Of course, even after being given the front seat, he didn’t stop acting.
His eyes were red as he wiped away tears while eating his nose.
“Next!!”
And then, Enoch, who walked forward when it was his turn.
He placed his luggage on the tollgate checkpoint.
I submitted a fake ID and had it examined.
But the tollgate employee who received Enoch’s ID looked surprised.
“Please wait a moment.”
Then the employee went into what appeared to be the employee break room.
At first, I couldn’t figure out why it was like that, and it smelled bad, so I tried to enter with the authority of the constellation.
I couldn’t see it because it was blocked by something unknown.
Upon learning more about the room, I discovered that it was a specially constructed room that prevented the constellations from seeing or hearing anything.
Because of that, even the goblin mask and the eyes of the constellations could not penetrate it.
After all, is the government really the government?
I was impressed by the thorough security.
“Okay, here it is.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Enoch smiled at the tollgate agent who had sent him off safely, then packed his bags and his ID and left.
And as if he had sensed the stench just like me, he immediately started running at full speed in the opposite direction.
But no matter how much Enoch ran, he quickly got tired because his body was only slightly better than that of an average adult woman.
But strangely enough, no one chased Enoch at the toll gate.
Obviously, Enoch and I, with our keen intuitions, had smelled something fishy, so it seemed natural that they would pick a fight with us.
No one was chasing him? For the time being, I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
We may be overreacting, but when the two of us sensed something ominous, something really ominous happened.
Our reaction was not one of overreaction, but rather more of a defensive posture, alert to the situation.
I started to look around, trying to see if anyone was running towards Enoch.
Then, the city and the tollgate come into view at a glance.
Enoch and the people appeared as dots.
I even used a goblin mask to watch to see if there were any strange movements.
Within, I felt a sense of fear and relief at the same time, knowing that nothing was wrong.
‘No, then why did they smell bad? They smelled bad even when they wore goblin masks.’
I thought about their reaction for a long time.
And when Enoch entered the city and found a place to stay, the clone’s cooldown time came back, so he supported the clone.
I met eyes with Enoch who had just come out of the shower.
“Lisa?”
“Mi, sorry.”
[Retrieving the holy relic, the ‘clone body’.]
Am I crazy? I accidentally sponsored Enoch as soon as the cooldown ended, without even realizing that he was washing.
Let’s say this matter is over since an apology has already been made.
First of all, I thought about the fact that our intuition and the Goblin Mask’s ability to sense crisis were wrong for the first time.
‘… So, you’re saying that there is a strong suspicion that they are up to something, but no evidence.’
If it’s related to the East of the Eastern Continent, there must be those who kidnapped Enoch. That might have gone too far.
Come to think of it, I once completed a commission in a city nearby here. Should I go there?
I’m not sure if they’re trustworthy yet, but they’re a group I can trust with this kind of thing.
… … Ten minutes passed, the time it took Enoch to change his clothes.
I reappeared by sponsoring the clone body again.
[Sponsoring the Holy Relic, ‘Clone Body’.]
“Oh. Lisa. You’re here?”
“Yeah, it’s melting. This Lisa noona is here~.”
“Yeah. So, Lisa, how was it?”
“What?”
“Don’t you know?”
Enoch smiles meaningfully.
I felt my face heat up as I thought about what he meant.
“Oh, no. I already apologized for that!”
“I know. That’s why I’m asking for your honest opinion. Did you not like it?”
“That’s not it.”
“Oh? Then, was it good?”
“No. It wasn’t good either… … .”
“Huh? So you’re saying it’s neither good nor bad. It’s an in-between body?”
“Huh, huh?!”
Tears begin to flow down Enoch’s cheeks.
Enoch begins to cry.
“I’m mediocre, so I guess I’ll have to live and die mediocre?”
“I can’t see my older sister. I can’t play with Grigori. I can’t play with Kushina Teria, right?”
“Yeah, I’m a piece of trash weaker than a mid-level bug… … .”
Enoch suddenly starts abusing himself.
I think he was deeply hurt by my words, but something felt strange.
What should I say… … It seems like there’s no sincerity in what you’re saying, and you’re just acting to tease me?
Besides, I saw those tears this morning too.
Surely, I would show my sympathy to someone in the front row at the toll gate and show tears like that…
Oh, yeah, that’s what it was?
Bam!
“Ouch!”
I hit Enoch on the head.
Then, as if it was just an act, the crying really stopped.
“This guy is teasing my sister.”
“Hehe, did you get caught?”
“Yeah, honey. How many times have I seen you? How can I not notice that? I, huh? I know you better than anyone in the world?”
“Huh? We haven’t even met for a month?”
“That’s only in your memory. How much of us… … .”
Ah. My heart hurts.
I realized again that Enoch did not recognize me.
Yes, to Enoch, I was just one of those people he met in passing.
She was never recognized as his older sister.
Stop.
“Huh, huh?!”
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
I feel complicated.
‘Yes, I suppose so. You don’t remember how long we’ve known each other.’
… … I should have killed that man from the beginning.
Instead of taking Enoch to the shepherd, he was taken to the sorcerer to wake him up… … .
I regretted what had already happened and shed tears.
Enoch shed tears at the realization that he was no longer the Enoch I knew.
Enoch, who had been quietly watching me cry, asked.
“Oh, are you crying? Are you okay? Does it hurt somewhere?”
“Should I call you? My sister said that if I call you, everything will get better.”
“If not, I’ll hug you. My sister says that if I hug her, she feels at ease… … .”
I am currently shedding tears over Enoch’s condition.
I cursed this reality, wondering why this only happens to me.
I couldn’t hold back my tears when Enoch, the last precious person I had left, forgot me.
I wanted to somehow stop the tears from flowing out.
Hug.
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
Enoch was the first to come to me and hug me as I cried.
He whispered to me that it was okay.
“Think of it as a reward for protecting me until now.”
“So cry loudly. Cry loudly. Because I will always be by your side until Lisa leaves me.”
「”I will stay by your side until Enoch leaves me.”」
What I said to Enoch long ago.
Enoch was saying those words to me just now.
I buried my face in his small chest and cried.
Enoch hugged me like a father and whispered to me that it was okay.
And that day, I vowed to myself that I would find those who did this to Enoch and torment them for the rest of my life.
