Air falling with a crash.

Seira frowned at the words of resentment uttered.

“Do you really… think Yura died because of me?”

“Yura, Yura could have survived if only you were there!”

“Hey Kylie. Tell me straight.”

“…what.”

“It’s not my fault that Yura died. If you think about it, it’s mostly his fault.”

Lucia closed her eyes tightly and let out a hot breath. I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug into my skin, and when I realized the stinging sensation, a crunching sound vibrated in my head.

However, Lucia was no longer the Kylie she used to be.

He didn’t punch with narrowed eyes, and he didn’t tip over the table as if he was asking me to say something.

The worn-out fangs had no place to go, and the culture accumulated during reincarnation dug into the memories of the time Yura died.

-sorry. I think that’s it for me.

Andrzej, whose leg was crushed, spoke cautiously. His distorted expression showed regret and resentment for not being able to finish it.

-I’m sorry, I guess I’m not good enough.

-Nella…

-Don’t say more, Kylie, I know. That I am much weaker than you and Seira.

-Yurado. Yura is also weak…

-Haha, Yura is helpful to everyone, right? I, I can’t help. Not since the last battle. From a long time ago, at some point, I knew that I was a burden.

-…sorry.

-Kylie, I hate to say this, but I believe you will do it.

-…huh. bye.

-thank you.

Vinella patted Kylie on the shoulder and walked toward the transport wagon. As she was leaving, she didn’t say anything like ‘please save the world’ to Kylie.

It was because I knew that Kylie was softer than she looked, and because of that, I knew that she was pretending to be strong for no reason.

like that,

The five people who had been together all along became three.

When they came to Tagore Hill where the demon god was crouching, Andrzej the spearman and Vinella the dwarf were not there.

Yura, Kylie, Seira.

There were no allied forces to assist the three.

The two people who had been called geniuses their whole lives couldn’t stand it, so there’s no way that those who are slightly superior to ordinary could follow suit.

The demon god was that kind of enemy. Just realizing it’s there makes you freeze, and you fall to the floor as you realize your insignificant mortal subject.

The light, clouds, rain, and earth that seem to make the whole world theirs… I forget my own existence just by being around them.

It was still unknown how Yura, an ordinary human being, withstood that divine status, but the important thing was that the physical condition of the three who had been driven all this time was in jeopardy due to that incomprehensible transcendent power.

-Let’s take time for maintenance.

-no.

-I’m not saying I’m going to get rid of you at all. Look at us like this…

-It’s right in front of you. Just need to do a little more.

-Yura, I don’t know if you don’t fight, but whipping is now your limit. It’s hard to get over the sadness and I can’t sleep well…

-Saira, Kylie said it was okay. You’re the Grand Wizard, wouldn’t you be better than Kylie? And if everything goes according to my plan, it’s okay now. Just you and Kylie can kill the demon.

-So, what if I fall out?

-What is he saying now?

-Literally. My Danjeon is so swollen that it feels like the tip is falling off every time I use mana. It’s not strange if you make a mistake at any time.

-Hey, hey!

-I’ll go first and wait for you.

With just those words, Seira’s presence disappeared. Kylie, who was just eavesdropping on the conversation because she didn’t want to get caught up in a pointless argument, couldn’t help Yura’s empty smile.

“…Yura is not wrong.”

Lucia clenched her fists as the feeling of helplessness rose again.

“I killed the Demon God alone. If you hadn’t gone, if you had just stood there…”

Although I gritted my teeth, I barely managed to form words.

Running wild when angry is something only an animal would do.

Seira sighed in frustration.

“Did I really know that they would force a subjugation there?”

It’s not that I don’t understand Kylie’s resentment.

“Think about it. You don’t understand either. We had defeated all the army commanders and only the demon god was left. It was okay even if I slowed down a bit.”

However, what I don’t understand even more is Yura’s forced march at that time. Several years after entering the demonic realm, when I came to Tagore Hill.

Yura didn’t stop whipping herself as if she was being chased by something.

“As a colleague, I feel sorry for Yura’s death and I feel bad about it. The day she died, I cried a lot when I heard the news, and even after you died… ”

“Sniff.”

“I went to your grave and mausoleum several times to pray for your peace.”

“…Hehehe.”

“Really, there are still a lot of tears now and then.”

Seira handed a tissue to Lucia, who was wiping away her tears with her sleeve.

Lucia was tempted to shake it off, but she calmly accepted Seira’s favor. After the conversation, Shiron would wake up, but I didn’t want to show myself weak in front of him.

“…What I wanted to say was that you and I broke up on bad terms.”

“Didn’t you and I get along quite well at the mansion? You spoke to me a few times in the annex. That was kindness.”

“Kylie blames Seira, but not Lucia.”

“I said so…”

“I feel sorry for you, what should I do!”

The cold sea breeze ruffled Lucia’s hair. On the exposed face, the corners of the eyes were open due to salty tears.

“But that doesn’t mean you need to reveal your past life. Like you said, wouldn’t I have been doing better if I wasn’t Kylie?”

“…After the demon died, the curse began when I heard that you had crumbled.”

It wasn’t like Seira had anything to say.

“Your funeral was held under the leadership of the expeditionary force, and the ones at the head of the funeral procession were Andrzej, who was limping, and Nella, shedding tears. I was the last person left and there was nowhere for me.”

Seira’s mana fluctuates. Although she thought and acted rationally as much as possible, she was not necessarily a superhuman who thought only rationally. Seira was a mortal who got hurt easily and knew how to scream when in pain.

“It’s not just funerals. I couldn’t even participate in the expeditionary force’s celebration banquet. Even the magic tower that praised me for being great treated me like a fool, and when I returned to the forest, there was no one to welcome me.”

Praise and hospitality.

I didn’t want something that big. Still, I wanted to hear a word of hard work, but not being able to hear it was the biggest pain of all.

Nothing can be achieved without sacrifice.

To varying degrees, even breathing and drinking water require small sacrifices.

And the great task of subduing the demon god required a lot of sacrifice.

“Yura is not the only one who died. I also didn’t eat well and live well enough to be treated so harshly by you.”

“…”

“I was hoping for at least a smiling reunion. That’s why I didn’t say anything when I found out it was Kylie…”

“Fuck you.”

Lucia’s face distorted at the complaint-like words.

We already know that Seira has been through a lot of hardships over the past 500 years. I sympathized with him as he must have been lonely. But Lucia,

I didn’t like Seira’s attitude of not wanting to give in even a word.

“If you look at what I’m saying, I’m a total bad bitch?”

“What… are we going to find out who is the worse bitch?”

“You were the one who started first! You started first! Why did you tell Yuma and not me? It was like this!”

“Then, should I just shut up and endure being a bad bitch without even saying how sad I am?!”

“Who wants to shut up? Just admit that you were wrong!”

“Acknowledge what! Do you want to keep doing that?!”

bang! In a rare move, Seira hit the table. She, too, gave off an aura just as dangerous as Lucia.

“To be honest, it was my fault for unilaterally canceling Yura’s plan. I admit that!”

“Then…!”

“The direct cause is Yura!”

“What?”

“Yura committed suicide!”

Lucia’s head went blank as the words poured out. However, Seira paid no heed to that and spoke even more passionately.

“Don’t you understand? He committed suicide! Suicide! It was strange to begin with. You didn’t fight because you said it wouldn’t help you in battle, but you ended up in that dangerous place on your own! Than lame Andrzej. Yura was weaker than Nella, who gave up on following him!”

“Hey, you really…”

“Why, was I wrong?”

“Yura… gave me courage! Even at the last moment of death, you held my hand and said you could do it!”

“Who says something about that? If I had just rested in the rear, recharged my stamina, and challenged the demon again, I could have survived!”

Lucia gritted her teeth and glared at Seira.

I wanted to say something… but everything was completely correct.

Looking back, it seemed like Yura at that time showed signs of impatience, unlike before.

“Fuck. You fucking bitch. Cowardly bitch.”

As she was completely refuted and had nothing to say, tears welled up in Lucia’s eyes again.

“Why are you crying?”

“Jo, that’s because you’re so fucking obnoxious.”

“…”

“With nothing to say, you just say the right things. It’s a joke.”

“I’ll go around.”

With Lucia in front of her, tears streaming down her face, Seira touched her forehead. And for a moment, Seira let out a deep sigh.

‘Is this right?’

I was expecting a touching reunion where they would hug each other and cry, but instead of bickering and fighting, it ended up being an ugly drag.

‘Is this really… a reunion of heroes that makes my heart pound just thinking about it?’

After drying her face several times, Seira opened her mouth quietly.

“Hey, Kylie.”

“Why, why are you being such a jerk.” Sniff-

“Do you want to keep calling me Sibal-ryeon? If you don’t call him by his name, he will wake up.”

Hiccup – Lucia’s eyes widened.

“Why is the theory suddenly appearing?”

“What happened all of a sudden.”

Seira snorted and crossed her arms.

“What are you going to do about the kid?”

Her consciousness passed from Kylie, who was still childish, to Siron beyond the wall.

“Shouldn’t you reveal that you are Kylie’s reincarnation?”

“That’s a bit…”

“You’re a colleague. How long do you think you can keep such a big secret hidden? And I heard that Prien is a family descended from you…”

“No ahhh!!!”

Lucia jumped up and slammed the table. I hit it so hard that the table exploded into dust.

“When did I get pregnant? It feels unfair to be left behind as a virgin, but do you want to do the same?”

“Isn’t it really?”

“No! you! How old were you when you first met me? uh! I’ve been with Yura since I was ten, but where is the time to have sex, get pregnant, and have a baby?”

“…Who was the disciple who passed on the technique?”

“Ahh!! Why do I have a disciple? In all this chaos, who do you have time to teach?!”

“Be quiet. What if the kid wakes up?”

“Anyway!”

Lucia blew her nose and leaned down.

“It’s a secret from Shiron that I’m Kylie.”

“Why are you trying to end the story on your own?”

“Ah… Wow, I have so many questions!”

“What I’m curious about is the big deal.”

Seira sat with her legs crossed, asking to hear the reason.

“…I’ll tell you then, so don’t laugh.”

“Why should I laugh? I won’t laugh, so tell me.”

In response to the glare, Lucia wiggled her fingers and averted her gaze.

At the same time, the blush is getting hotter. Seira could easily guess the reason by looking at the reaction.

Since I lived with her in the separate building, I knew how far away Lucia behaved from a hero.

A childish little sister who treats her brother like a fool.

You idiot, giggling at my achievements.

I’m well over 40 in my past and present lives, and I’m a dead body trying to find myself and all that.

Whatever it is, there is too much karma. So, to some extent, it was understandable that he did not want to reveal his identity.

“Poetics…”

“What about the kid.”

“Good, good…”

“…Fuck? Speak straight!”

However, the excuse that came out of Lucia’s mouth far exceeded Seira’s expectations.

Lucia, whose face was bright red as if it were about to explode, lowered her head.

“Because I like it.”

dump-

Lucia collapsed weakly on the chair. I sighed in relief at finally having said it, and my eyes began to spin.

However, unlike Lucia, Seira just blinks.

‘Just… what on earth did that bastard say? No, more than that, liking a kid and revealing one’s identity…’

Was it a moment when I was racking my brain to fill in the gaps in the conversation?

“Aha?”

A light came into a dark corner of my head.

“This pedophile bastard.”

Lucia’s gaze was distorted with disgust.
