Hiria couldn’t help but be momentarily speechless at Yucheon’s question.

That’s because I didn’t expect him to bring up a story about a hero.

In fact, from Yucheon’s perspective, it would be enough to ask.

She hadn’t even thought of that.

Yes, because the person she had been looking for was right in front of her.

Our memories are different, our faces are different, our bodies are different, and our souls are different.

In the end, the origin of Yucheon’s existence was the same.

That’s why she liked Yucheon no matter how much he changed.

Even if many things are different, Yucheon is Yucheon.

Since I had such thoughts, I couldn’t hide my momentary embarrassment at Yucheon’s question.

From her perspective, no matter how different it was from before, it was the same as someone who thought she was a hero suddenly asking if the hero had been sealed.

‘… I guess I had no choice but to ask because I didn’t know.’

Just like I thought before.

From Yucheon’s perspective, it was a natural question to ask.

His memory has already been distorted so that he perceives the warrior party from 500 years ago as a completely separate party from himself, so he does not recognize himself as a warrior.

To be precise, they probably think that they exist in another dimension, not this dimension.

‘… But how on earth should I answer this?’

There is no way Yucheon will believe me if I say this.

But then, what should I say about the hero?

Should I answer the Yucheon in front of me without thinking of him as Yucheon?

‘… difficult.’

If you think about it, it’s just a matter of roughing it around.

But she couldn’t bear to ignore it.

Maybe just in case.

This is because I unconsciously thought that the Yucheon in front of me might not really be Yucheon.

‘My memory may be different… ‘

Hiria remembers.

The appearance of Yucheon who met a miserable death.

The peace brought about by his death.

Yucheon’s death was clearly engraved in her memory.

But being alive like this made me doubt my own memory.

Although not as bad as Yucheon, he actually felt that his memories were distorted.

Of course, I was convinced that the parts of my memory that made me feel uncomfortable were probably distorted…

If the.

Truly one of a kind.

What if even my current memories are distorted?

Like Yucheon, it was elaborately distorted so that one could not even recognize it.

What if the Yucheon in front of you is completely different from the person you used to know?

If that happens, can the Yucheon in front of you really be called Yucheon?

In fact, I had a suspicion that he might have been a different person from the beginning.

‘The probability of that happening is low.

The mere fact that it was a possibility made Hyria feel uneasy.

This is because of the possibility that everything you know may actually be a lie.

‘… ‘

It’s been like that since long ago.

She is the wizard of the warrior party.

It was my habit to always assume the worst and prepare countermeasures.

And that habit continues even now.

Even though I didn’t want to, I started thinking about the worst possible assumptions.

‘after… Let’s believe it.’

You have to believe it.

You have to live positively and think of the best rather than the worst.

This was the phrase she heard the most during her travels.

She snorted every time, but it was something she later realized.

Although I still haven’t given up the habits I had back then, I’ve realized a lot now.

I decided to think of the best and live positively rather than negatively.

You can regret it later and have regrets later.

Let’s think only about the present.

Hiria, who had made that promise, opened her mouth to answer Yucheon.

“I don’t know where the hero is. but… Always present in my heart. Because I think of him every day and miss him every day. So I think it exists in my heart.”

After saying that, Hiria made eye contact with Yucheon.

Hiria’s firm determination was reflected in Yucheon’s eyes.

Yucheon said.

“It’s a little interesting.”

“What?”

“Usually, when you say you miss something, you feel foolish or something like that, right? But I never thought you would say it was in my heart because you miss it.”

Saying that, Yucheon turns his gaze to the sky.

Hiria also looks up at the sky.

The sun was rising in the sky, and the clear sky was slowly being colored by the sunlight.

Yucheon, who was looking at the same sky, let out a low sigh.

“You can think like that too… Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”

A smile appeared on his expressionless lips.

Hiria could not take her eyes off that bright yet pure smile.

From Yucheon’s current appearance.

This is because the image of the former warrior overlapped for a moment.

“… ”

Hiria couldn’t take her eyes off Yucheon’s appearance for a while.

***

We were resting by the stream and decided to spend the day there.

It was okay for me to move right away, but for some reason, Hiria looked quite tired.

For that reason, I tried to build a hut for a while.

Hyria created a hut with a single snap of her fingers.

I looked at it and thought.

‘I’m jealous… ‘

Whenever this happened, I really envied magic.

I was envious of how they built a house like that and thought it was fascinating every time I saw it.

There was a time when I thought about learning magic if I saw something like that.

‘I got cursed so much.’

When I learned from a fellow party member magician just for fun, I got all kinds of insults from people saying I didn’t have any talent and asking if I was just a human being.

‘When I think about it, I feel so sad that I can’t live.’

I recognize that I am not talented, but the level of over-explaining was high.

It’s almost like trying to talk to a newborn baby.

It’s hard to explain, but since I got criticized for it, how can I not feel unfair?

‘I really need to hit you later.’

One day, I entered the cabin with the intention of hitting him if I ever ran into him.

Interior of a cozy cabin house.

The furniture was arranged well enough for two people to live here without any problems.

It was as if this was a place where two people were supposed to live from the beginning.

‘It’s natural because there are two people, but… ‘

What should I say about this?

Should I say it is an unknown foolishness?

I felt a subtlety in this house that I couldn’t explain in words.

Of course, since there are currently two people, it is natural that it is a cabin that can accommodate two people.

It feels like there is something more that I don’t know.

‘I guess it doesn’t matter.’

Whatever it was, the fact that it was a space where two people could live did not change.

“But you have one blanket and one pillow?”

What is this again?

It appears that the surrounding furniture and interior space are intended for two people to stay.

There is only one blanket and pillow.

I looked at Hiria with curious eyes as to what this was.

Her ears were slightly red.

“Why, what.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“I did it with your gaze now!”

“Um.”

I couldn’t really deny it.

As I said, I sent a silent look with my gaze.

I said, scratching my cheek.

“No, it’s just weird, right? Why do I have one pillow and one blanket? There’s not even a bedding to lay down.”

The bed is just slightly larger than the size for one person.

I wanted to ask why on earth they did this in a comfortable space.

Hiria pursed her lips at my words and spat them out as if she were making an excuse.

“Just… I know so.”

He seemed like he didn’t want to talk anymore, so I nodded.

“Then it must be like that.”

I don’t really care and I’m just going to lie down on the floor to sleep.

Hiria says in confusion.

“Why are you lying on the floor?”

“There’s nothing we can do because one of us has to sleep on the floor.”

What if there were two beds?

It’s not even that big, and since I’ve slept on the floor without a blanket countless times anyway, I didn’t feel any discomfort.

Rather, it reminded me of the old days, and it wasn’t that bad.

“No.”

At Hiria’s firm words, I had no choice but to get up.

But if you can’t sleep on the floor, where on earth does it grow?

When I looked at him with such meaning in his eyes, Hiria’s gaze instantly turned towards the bed.

I came back right away, but I wasn’t about to miss that brief moment.

“Shall we sleep together in bed?”

“No… There’s no place to sleep either. That’s better than sleeping on the ground… ?”

Aside from the quite awkward tone and voice.

The person who built the house couldn’t even make a bedding and asks you to sleep on the bed?

‘This doesn’t make sense.’

No matter how much you think about it, it makes no sense.

I said that after deciding that.

“A person who made a house can’t even make a bedding?”

“There is such a thing! So stop talking nonsense and lie down!”

“Keuok.”

You feel a dull impact on your forehead along with Hiria’s irritated voice. This causes him to lie down on the bed.

So I was forced to lie down on the bed.

Hiria comes in next to me.

The size of the bed was large enough for one person to sleep slightly wide, so they were almost pressed together. There was a significant difference in height, so Hiria buried his face in my chest.

A normal person would blush, but I thought of something else first.

“It’s so hot… ”

“Noisy!”

I spent the night in the same bed, listening to the sounds like that.
