However, contrary to my concerns, it was very easy to convey the power of God or something. A little while later, he and I arrived at the warehouse where the rice was stored.
The red bird looked at me solemnly and said.
“okay. Just think about holding it like that and handing over that power to me. Earnestness is important.”
“hmm… … . I hand over this power. “I hand it over.”
“I told you to just think inside.”
As the red bird said, I held a handful of rice with both hands and thought to myself that I would hand over the power of God. A thought crossed my mind at the same time: Is it really okay to do this?
‘Is it really okay to do that?’
‘Then did you think I was going to draw a grand magic circle? That’s what happens when humans use powers beyond their control. There’s no way God would use such a medium.’
When I heard it, it seemed like a pretty plausible explanation, so I quietly did as he said. OK… … .
Paaa-!
“uh?”
The rice plant I was holding began to glow white. I think I remember seeing this light before. A scene flashed in my vague memory. In the past, it was the time when I was approaching the end as Lee Hee-ah.
okay. I also encountered this light back then.
As I stared blankly, the red bird cried out in a painful voice.
“hey! Are you planning to destroy me like this? “Hurry and hand it over!”
I suddenly came to my senses at that shout.
ah. That guy is Ruben. Then it would be the opposite of the power of God. uh? But why do you want the power of opposing Sims? A sudden feeling of doubt crossed my mind, but since the situation was what it was, I quickly recited it.
‘Him, go over. ‘Go over.’
As if my will had been conveyed, the white light gradually shrunk as if compressed, and soon turned into a white bead. Then it flew towards the red bird and was absorbed in the blink of an eye.
“Whew. “I thought I was going to die.”
As the light disappeared, a red bird sprawled across the floor caught my eye. It’s surprising that such an attitude is possible for a new topic. He must have felt me crouching in front of him and looking at him curiously, so he sat up straight away.
“Hmm! Now it’s Dragon Heart’s turn. “This time I need the help of that poor guy.”
The strange guy the red bird was talking about was Elston. This is because he played a decisive role when the Dragon Heart was first placed in Axion’s heart. To be precise, it was because his mana was mixed into Axion’s heart like impurities.
By removing it and separating the Dragon Heart, Axion can live a healthy, normal life without any problems.
“Yeah? Dragon Heart… … “Removing it?”
At first, Elston vehemently opposed it, saying it would be like harming the baby, but he caved when he saw the power of the red bird that had revealed itself.
In fact, I felt more anxious and uncomfortable than Elston. I thought and thought dozens of times, wondering if my choice might be wrong. but… … .
‘If not now, Axion will try to awaken as Ruben again someday.’
And the starting point is probably my absence. If it’s the same as this time. And one day, I will leave Axion’s side. That was the fate we had to face as humans. It’s something that can’t be avoided even if I reject it, it’s something that’s decided.
At that time, if Axion awakens again as Ruben… … That would be such a terrible thing. So, when the opportunity arose now, we had to eliminate the seed that would lead Axion to become Ruben.
“Do not worry. “There will be no problem with Axion.”
At some point, Dazar wrapped his arms around my shoulders. Without realizing it, I relaxed my tense body and leaned slightly against him.
Axion was lying in his crib, sound asleep. It occurred to him that he had been so distraught since his return that he had not even really spent any time with Axion. When everything is over, I have to hold Axion tightly and be with him all day.
“Here we go. “I have to use some of my power, so I may not be able to see my surroundings.”
With the solemn voice of the red bird, the surroundings suddenly became dark as if a blackout curtain had been drawn. As if the light coming through the window had suddenly escaped, the outside of the window also appeared black.
Is it going well? Her hands were sweaty and her eyes were tightly closed. After what seemed like an eternity to me, my vision cleared.
“all… … “It’s done.”
“Ugh? mama?”
Fortunately, Axion seemed to be okay. The sight of her looking at me with her scruffy face as if she had just woken up was beyond adorable.
“Axion!”
“It was removed without any problems.”
Whether Red Bird and Elston were flopping on the floor or not, I ran to Axion. She hugged the child and gave him a kiss of joy.
Now Axion no longer has to live his destiny as Ruben.
* * *
Dazar stood crookedly and stared at the red bird preening its wings in front of him. The guy was carefully trimming his wing feathers, as if he was going to fly very far.
I looked at him and suddenly said.
“It’s a little surprising.”
“What do you mean?”
“That means you accepted Hee-ah’s offer. “I thought you would at least offer a contract with a curse like you did to me.”
Then, the red bird stopped preening its wing feathers, glanced at Dazar, and gnawed its beak.
“joy. “If that were the case, even a passing ant would know that you wouldn’t have left me alone.”
“That’s natural. But it’s your guy, Ruben, right? It also ate a world. “There’s no way you’d be scared of me.”
What Dazar has realized over the years he has been with him is that he is not human. In other words, he was not a person with whom I had common sense or a connection with affection, and I could not find a single shred of sympathy or consideration for others in him. He was evil itself, acting solely for his own benefit or pleasure.
It was a bit surprising to Dazar that he accepted Hee-ah’s offer. But the red bird seemed to have different thoughts.
“The fruit that will come back to me is so sweet, so of course I should do what you want. Even if what he wanted was to destroy this world, I would have listened to him obediently. “Even if it were me, it would have taken quite a bit of time.”
“… … .”
The only examples you give are things like yourself. The destruction of the world. Dazar, who had already witnessed that moment with his own eyes, looked slightly fed up.
Anyway, what Hee-ah gave him was very valuable to him.
“But why do you need it? “Haven’t you already become Ruben?”
The question asked out of pure curiosity was met with an unexpected answer.
“I want to get closer to God.”
“… … what?”
“Do you know that it was ultimately God who created this damn Ruben’s fate? “People think it’s as if God and we are opposites, but that’s not true.”
“… … !”
“When I became Ruben and gained great power, I came close to God for a moment. And then I realized. That all things flow in the providence drawn by God. But the realization was short-lived. In an instant, I was reduced to an insignificant Ruben again.”
The red bird stopped preening its feathers and flapped its wings slowly. It seemed like it was about to fly.
“The things she gave me are essential for getting closer to God. So she has no choice but to follow what she wants.”
“… … Right.”
I’ve never had a conversation like this with him before. Rather, it prevented him from opening his mouth. Even though I used Ruben, he was also a curse.
But now that I had her by my side, anything was fine. Dazar nodded his head and looked up at the sky. As Ruben, he also seemed to have his own wishes.
“Well then, goodbye.”
A red light flashed across the vast expanse, accompanied by a low voice. Dazar looked up at the sky where he had disappeared for a while, then started walking.
My lovely fiancé, my one and only love. towards her her.
“Welcome, Dazar. “Did you see off well?”
She, who was spending time with Axion and Vanilla, smiled kindly and welcomed Dazar.
As I faced her, I felt a warm shiver rising from deep within my heart. The ecstatic feeling was so vivid and colorful that it cannot be described in words.
Dazar nodded, carefully holding her in his arms.
“I had a good time.”
“OMG. what. “My hair gets tangled.”
He could hear her grumbling in his arms, but Dazar was just happy. This was because the voice I heard in my arms was creating a pleasant resonance in my body.
It wasn’t long before she grumbled in my arms for a while and suddenly made this suggestion.
“Shall we go back now? To my house. And then we go on a picnic again with the kids. “I haven’t been able to play much for a while.”
my house. Were these three letters such a daunting word? Dazar smiled brightly without hiding his joy.
“is it so. Let’s go back.”
