The purple eyes contained a small tremor, and that tremor clearly showed the delicate heart of a teenager.
I got angry for a moment and shouted, but when I looked into his eyes, I calmed down a little.
‘eww. It’s not something I should press, but I got angry. The current Moroccanil is not even an adult yet.’
okay. Moroccanil is not the Angel I have encountered in the past. After thinking like that, the anger in my heart seemed to have completely disappeared.
I held Moroccanil’s hand again in a calmer voice. Hoping for my warmth to come through.
“Is your life worth that much?”
“… … yes?”
oh. No, this guy’s snout can’t even utter kind words. I guess it’s because both Celia and I are far from gentle people.
Hmm. I cleared my throat and spoke with more warmth in my voice.
“I don’t know what the circumstances are, but the idea of paying for a crime with one’s life is what I mean.”
Sometimes these characters would appear in historical movies or dramas. A person who pays for his sins with his life. And every time I looked at those characters, I thought about this.
“I think it was a very selfish choice. “No one told you to die, so why do you die?”
“Selfish… … Ira, are you quiet?”
“yes.”
I spoke firmly and put a little pressure on both hands. Perhaps because he was shocked by my words, Moroccanil’s hands slowly lost strength.
Now was the opportunity.
“Do you want your mother to make that choice?”
“Mother… … .”
Moroccanil’s eyes wavered. He stammered his lips and answered softly.
“Your mother won’t want it.”
“Look at that. “Then is there anyone around you who thinks you should die to pay for your sins?”
“… … no.”
Morokanil answered obediently, like an obedient student. He was a little calmer than before. Even in his blank eyes, there seemed to be a glimpse of a firearm.
I spoke quickly.
“Then there is only one person here who wants you dead.”
“… … ?”
Moroccanil blinked as if wondering what that meant. I opened my mouth resolutely.
“It’s right here in front of me. “It’s you.”
“… … !”
“Then you don’t care at all about other people’s wishes, no, you do something that the person you have to pay for doesn’t want to do… … .”
I quickly removed Moroccanil’s hands, which were completely weak. Cheer up! The sound of the sword falling to the floor rang out.
They continued speaking at the same time.
“Aren’t you trying to let go of everything just because you want to, out of your selfishness? Is there anything more inconsiderate and arbitrary than that? Moroccanil.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Moroccanil’s body collapsed. He must have lost his strength as he knelt on the floor and looked up at me.
“That means you shouldn’t die. Moroccanil. live.”
His eyes, which had lost their dazed look, now contained something else. What can I say? Eyes that seem to be looking at something very great?
I don’t deserve to be looked at like this… … .
“Hmm! So what should we do next? “Morokanil is wise, so I’m sure he knows the answer.”
… … There’s enough!
Is there anyone who holds on to me like this and gives me advice seriously? To a complete stranger.
I glanced over his awe-filled eyes and quickly put the sword away.
Then Moroccanil, who was silent for a moment, answered.
“My mother would like me to live happily enough. and… … “Granting that wish would be repayment for my sins.”
okay. That’s it.
I nodded and grabbed his hand and pulled it.
“great. “Then let’s take the first step to becoming happy right now.”
“yes… … ?”
Whether Moroccanil was embarrassed or not, I walked out into the hallway while holding his hand. Dazar is still holding up well, right?
I hope it’s not too late.
“To faithfully complete your mission. Isn’t that the first step to happiness? It may seem obvious and trivial, but in reality, it is not that trivial.”
Even though I thought it was a completely unreasonable claim, it seemed to make sense to young Moroccanil, who was already in awe of me.
When you see Moroccanil nodding his head with a serious face.
“… … okay. First of all, I have to fulfill my responsibilities. In other words, living as an existential being. “That’s what you’re saying.”
I wasn’t talking about that kind of philosophical thing. I looked at him with a somewhat shocked look on his face, but Moroccanil was no longer looking at me. He looked at the end of the hallway and looked like he had made up his mind about something.
Then, looking at me who started walking first, he muttered.
“thank you. You are my benefactor. “He held me down when I was feeling weak and grabbed by a strange force.”
“uh… … “Yeah, nothing much.”
“May I know what your name is?”
“Heeah. “This is Lee Hee-ah.”
Moroccanil chanted my name several times as if he would never forget it.
“Hee… … “It’s a pretty name.”
The conversation seemed to have ended, so I grabbed Moroccanil’s hand and started running. Towards Dazar who is blocking Cedric.
“omg. Huh… … .”
How long did it run? When a sweet taste left my mouth, I arrived at his location.
“Dazar!”
“… … Ugh.”
The man who was fighting against Cedric was in no shape to speak of. His wounds were so extensive that you could think his entire body was red. On the other hand, Cedric, who was confronting him, was clean, as if not a single speck of dust was on him.
Instead, instead of smiling kindly like before, he had a mean smile and was full of dark energy.
I hurriedly ran to Dazar’s side and asked.
“Dazar, are you okay?”
“Hee… … . Ha, I’m fine. “What about Moroccanil?”
From behind, Morokanil parted his lips in an apologetic voice.
“Here it is. I’m sorry. I am,”
“it’s okay. Because I don’t have time to talk about that right now. Ha, pour out your energy!”
Dazar, who seemed to be barely standing with his back against the wall, shouted at Moroccanil and rushed towards Cedric. Moroccanil also moved with Dazar without missing the timing.
White energy flashed and emanated from both of them.
“… … Two of them. “Doesn’t this seem a bit mean?”
Cedric’s once relaxed face began to crack slightly. When Morokhanil joined, it certainly seemed like it would be difficult for him to deal with two transcendents at the same time.
‘oh. danger! Phew… … .’
Although Dazar and Morokhanil exerted enough power on Cedric, the difference in power was not large enough to completely subdue him.
Sometimes, whenever a dangerous moment comes, my heart sinks, and the thought that I may have been too complacent slowly crossed my mind.
‘If this continues, Dazar won’t even be able to meet her… … Oh, no. ‘I’m not having any sinister thoughts.’
While I was shaking my head, a truly dangerous situation occurred. It’s not that Dazar and Moroccanil are dangerous… …
“Heeah-! damage!”
“this! Heeah!”
As I was scratching my head like an idiot, the sphere that Cedric had launched started flying towards me. It was clear that it was intentional.
Because Cedric had a mean smile on his face as he looked at me. I gritted my teeth as I looked at the black knife flying at me so fast that I couldn’t avoid it.
‘Cedric, you bastard… … .’
They say that when a person is in danger of death, a flash of light passes by, but this was my second time and I didn’t see anything like that. Instead, this thought occurred to me.
‘If I come back to life as the real Celia, you are dead. It will torment you enough to make your childhood a trauma.’
Softly. I gritted my teeth and prepared for the pain that was about to come. Damn it, this is it! Would you even die!
I closed my eyes tightly and blocked my front with both arms, and slowly opened one eye as the pain did not come.
Instead, I heard Cedric’s voice muttering in disbelief.
“what… … ji?”
And with both eyes open, I was faced with an absurd situation. The knife that Cedric threw was stuck at him, not me.
And light was flashing from my body.
No, on my necklace to be exact.
“This necklace… … .”
A necklace for Axion, given by Sylvester. When I flew into this world, it didn’t seem to disappear. Why did it suddenly appear?
And why did Cedric take the sword instead of me… … .
“Cough! Damn, what is that girl? No, how is this… … “My strength is draining away!”
At that moment, the sound of Cedric screaming reached my ears. I looked over in surprise, and to my surprise, Cedric’s body was falling like a crumbling sandcastle.
