After Dazar found out about my symptoms, therapists came to visit me every day. They were famous people that everyone had heard of at least once while living here, but no one could cure me.
“It’s really strange. “I cannot find out the cause of the disease.”
Everyone clicked their tongues and trudged away. When I checked, everything was normal. After hearing that story, I actually felt relieved. Dazar couldn’t do that.
“Heeah. Please hold on just a little longer. Next time, get a more proper therapist… … .”
I tried to smile at his words, but I already knew how it would end. This time too, the cause of the symptoms would not be found, and of course there would be no treatment.
‘Maybe it’s because I don’t belong to this world.’
Now I could only guess why I was sick. The number of days I passed out was increasing, and I now wanted to spend the remaining time meaningfully.
From that day on, I walked in the garden with him every day whenever I had time. This time where I could walk shoulder to shoulder with him and look into each other’s eyes was so precious.
As time went by and I felt my physical strength getting weaker, I started to resent my body. It would be nice if you could hold out a little longer. While I was thinking about this, Dazar would sometimes swallow his breath in pain. When I looked up at him at that time, the corners of his eyes were, without fail, red.
Late in the evening, I was walking hand in hand with him like usual. Suddenly a flower caught my eye. It was a flower that I noticed often when I visited the garden recently.
“Look at this, Dazar. Doesn’t this flower somehow resemble you? I usually hide my insides shyly, but when the moon rises, I show them off. “This flower must like the moon.”
“… … Hee-ah.”
I noticed Dazar, who was walking quietly supporting me, trying to smile. I bent down slightly and gently stroked the blooming petals. The feel of my thumb was extremely soft.
“And it’s so pretty and lovely inside. Like you.”
He was silent for a moment at my words, then gently pulled my waist. In the blink of an eye, his red lips came closer. I gently closed my eyes.
A touch as soft as a flower petal touched my lips. Even though I was dying, I was so happy at this moment.
But after a short period of happiness, tragedy suddenly struck one day.
“Dazar Siaster. We have intelligence that you are helping Ruben. “I guess that’s the reason why I’ve been out of the question at Siaster until now.”
It was a leisurely afternoon when Morokhanil, with a cold face, stormed into Siaster Street with other transcendents.
Dazar tried to protect me but was helplessly subdued. It was because I was caught in the hands of a transcendent person I had never seen before.
“Mo, Morokanil. “What on earth is this?”
Although the frequency decreased after Ruben appeared, Moroccanil used to visit often. I recently found out about my symptoms.
However, Moroccanil still answered with his mouth firmly set.
“… … “That person can’t save you.”
I didn’t know what they were talking about. However, before I had time to ask back, I was captured by the Transcendents and taken away from Dazar to an unknown location. I received the utmost care, perhaps to threaten Dazar with my presence, but my body was deteriorating further.
Morokanil came every day and tried to talk to me, but I didn’t deal with him.
When I came here, I naturally got to know his feelings, but instead of agreeing with him, I felt like he was a very selfish person.
“Don’t do anything you’ll regret, Moroccanil. Please send me back.”
“… … sorry.”
He borrowed the power of the transcendentals and tried many things on me, but my symptoms got worse.
‘I miss Dazar.’
After that, I was almost imprisoned for a long time, and it was a time when I had no idea how time was passing. It was now difficult for me to stand up alone and I had to be supported by someone to move.
When I woke up early in the morning, I raised my dry hand and waved the bell to call the maid. It was because my body was strange. I had a hunch. If this continues, the end may really come.
“Hee-ah.”
“… … Moroccanil? “What are you doing here?”
But what appeared was not a maid, but Moroccanil. He knelt in front of me and bowed his head. Then he asked me to forgive him.
“I think I hurt you more with my greed. “I will send you back to him.”
“… … What about other transcendents?”
“Don’t worry about them.”
Morokhanil took care of me with the utmost care, but to the other transcendents, I was a hostage. They are bait to catch Dazar, who is suspected of working with Ruben, and hostages to protect themselves from him.
If I disappear from here, Moroccanil will be in trouble. He made a choice that might make him a target for other transcendents.
“Dazar!”
“Hee… … .”
When Morokhanil used his strength to bring me to Dazar’s side, Dazar felt like he could kill him with a look. Nevertheless, he knew of Moro Canil’s choice and did nothing special.
After he left without a word, Dazar hugged me and headed to the small cabin he was staying in. A red bird that had not been seen before was quietly sitting there.
‘… … Ruben.’
It was definitely the Ruben of this world. I heard that its human appearance was already known throughout the country, and it seems that from then on, it took on the appearance of a red bird.
‘You’ve already joined hands with Ruben.’
Dazar did not leave my side even for a moment after I returned. He always stayed closest and tried to be by his side. Then he held his hand and said:
“Heeah. I found something that can make you healthy. “Just wait a moment.”
That being must have been Ruben. I was able to understand once again why the transcendent man joined hands with Ruben. Everything was to save me. I wondered if I could get my life back here by receiving Ruben’s grace. Unfortunately, the end came sooner than expected.
Because I had a premonition of my end before I could even meet what Dazar had prepared.
The day I went out to the nearby lake with him. She thought, leaning on his shoulder and smelling the wind outside. Now the real end has come.
‘Then, Dazar will meet Celia later on. I… … ‘She doesn’t even know it’s her.’
They said that Dazar made a contract with Ruben to sacrifice the world and have me be reincarnated. That seemed to be Celia. I felt like I finally knew a little bit.
In the meantime, I held his hand, which had lost weight, and muttered softly.
“See you again, Dazar. Next time, in the form of Celia.”
“… … Hee-ah?”
Dazar, who was looking at me with blank eyes, was indescribably lovely and precious. Ah, I have to leave someone like this behind.
I continued speaking while lightly stroking his rough cheek. This is not the end for us, Dazar.
“I’ll look forward to you rocking and rattling then.”
Of course, I end up here. Because you are not. See you later.
The last thing I saw was golden eyes wide open and tears forming.
‘Axion… … Sorry.’
In the end, I cannot return to my world and end here.
Soon, I saw myself as a faint halo of light in an all-black space. Is this the soul?
When you are alone with your thoughts and immersed in silence without any sound. Suddenly, a voice came from somewhere.
-A contract is a contract. As you wish, I will reincarnate that woman.
It was clearly the voice of Ruben, the red bird.
At the same time, I felt the light split in half. uh? Oh, are we now going through the process of reincarnation? Thinking that I must be reincarnated in Celia’s body, I waited for the impending end of the ritual.
“… … .”
But strangely enough, even after the halo of light fell off, I was still there. instead… …
-Ugh. Ugh.
Axion’s cries began to be heard from afar.
Axion. Are you hearing hallucinations as the end approaches? Her dazed consciousness did not come to her senses until the crying sound got closer.
And finally, I felt a small hand grab my arm. Wait, my arm? I’m just a shapeless halo of light… … .
“mama!”
At that time, along with Axion’s shout, the black space began to collapse.
“ah… … ?”
And what I saw next was an unbelievable scene. Axion, Dazar, and Vanilla were running towards me.
“Heeah! oh my god… … !”
“mama-!”
“Ugh! Celia! “I got sick of it when I saw it!”
