57 – Death (7)

“Hayu-san… I’m ready…”

“yes.”

Perhaps in the aftermath of the Full Moon Festival, which has been held since last week, Norris Village, which is located on the outskirts, is also lively.

Even though it is a very small market compared to Hwangdo, it feels like it is crowded enough.

Now the two are shopping at a clothing store.

Because Hayu intended to give the frugal saintess something as a last gift.

‘I’m embarrassed…’

Prissy was hesitant behind the dressing room wearing a white dress on the recommendation of the clerk.

Although the shoulder line was exposed, there was no problem with the dignity of a saintess because she wore a cardigan.

However, it takes a lot of courage to show Hayu in plain clothes every time.

Because he’s the kind of person she wants to look good every moment.

-……

“Saint?”

When Prissy didn’t say anything, he approached the changing room tent, looking concerned.

“Now, wait a minute!”

The red curtain flinches along with Prissy’s panicked voice.

Hayu quietly puts her hand on the flinching spot.

-!!

The hands of the two left the tent and joined.

Come to think of it, these are two people who haven’t even held hands yet.

– Knuckle…

I move my hands back and forth to see if the two of them are connected.

Of course, I couldn’t wear a cloth, but…

“Oops, oops.”

The two of them are startled by the voice of the clerk, who is rather ravenous.

-!!

“There are no guests, and since you are a saint, I am keeping it a secret.”

“That, it’s not like that..!”

At that moment, Prissy walks through the tent in the dressing room and jumps out.

“Oh my goodness.”

The clerk puts a wide floppy hat on Prissy’s head in a nice way.

Then, with a satisfied face, he said to Hayu.

“There is no such thing as an angel… You must have been fooled to escort such a beautiful woman.”

Prissy’s face goes red like a blush.

– Creeping.

She pushes her hat down as much as she can and moves stiffly as she passes Hayu.

“Get along well.”

“!!… Thank you.”

Prissy stopped at Hayu’s words.

‘How are you?”

Even in the clerk’s heart, the two move at a certain distance as if they are trying to act until the end.

And Hayu takes out a gold coin from his pocket as if nothing is wrong.

“I’ll do the calculation in imperial gold coins.”

“Oh hong hong is good~.”

.

.

.

-apologize? I’ll give you the best one!

-Okay, if it’s the saintess, you should bake it right away.

-It’s the first time I’ve seen a nobleman, Holy Lady, do you know someone?

The two walked around Norris Village and bought a lot of food.

It wasn’t festival time yet, but due to the preparations for the event, I was able to feel the Full Moon Festival.

-Is this the first time the saintess accompanied a man?

Hayu was realizing the popularity of Prissy.

There must have been a lot of donations so far, and there was no place in this place that did not welcome the saintess.

It’s hard to say that it’s a performance that contains the breath of the Serius family, because I felt their hearts and feelings sincerely.

-It’s the final start of the festival soon, aren’t you going to see it?

Despite the merchants’ invitations and questions, the two look at each other and just smile.

Now we have to go to our secret base.

.

.

.

-Dagdak, dagdak.

-Little.

A beautiful sunset spreads towards the destination.

The two looked at this for a while and left their bodies in the carriage.

Today, the sunset is not just red like the sunset, but pink and purple in each cloud.

In a way, it feels similar to Floria’s barrier.

When Hayu first saw this hazy sunset, he thought it was the color of an ice cream.

However, the scenery that was obviously pretty, the scenery I want to keep in my eyes at any time, feels sad at this moment.

The sunset disappeared, and it was late at night, when the two of them were able to arrive at Floria’s cabin.

* * *

The location of the cabin was so remote that it could be said to be a hidden secret place.

The small cabin in the middle of the flower garden was indeed a fantasy scene for Hayu.

– Prick…

There are many varieties of flowers in this world that store mana during the day and glow at night.

Numerous white lights mixed with green fireflies were ascending to the sky.

It makes you feel as if the grass bugs are alive and moving.

“You are pretty.”

“Yes? It will be a good memory…”

That’s how the two started doing everything together.

Making apple pie, chopping wood, lighting a fireplace…

Bringing enough water and taking a moment to look around the garden created by nature are all.

The act of storing memories step by step.

The trivial happiness contained in common daily life is sadly melted into Hayu.

The making of memories between the two continued until late at night.

.

.

.

It was late at night when the full moon was hidden by the clouds.

– Crackle.

The weather was too cold to sit still and watch the stars, so the two sat in front of the fireplace.

“It’s a pity… the fog is getting thicker and you can’t see well…”

“Thanks to you, it looks like it will be sunny tomorrow too.”

tomorrow. Although tomorrow has a different meaning to Hayu.

-……

Because the cabin is so antique, there is only one fireplace for heating.

Considering the convenience of Lachesis Academy, I could feel the gap in civilization.

In the end, the small cabin, even there, was the only space on which these two could depend.

But the two were happier than anyone else.

– Clap.

Hayu said while picking out firewood.

“Looks like you came to camp.”

“yes……”

For some reason, this situation right before my death feels warmer than when I was at the bonfire with Rain.

It’s hard on the body, but I finally found the stability of my mind.

Prissy asked with her arms crossed on her lap, only turning her head.

“Hayau… When is your birthday? I was curious because you had never told me before.”

“…I do not know.”

He spoke nonchalantly, keeping the fire in the fireplace well maintained.

“There is a day when I became a member of my family. I was allowed free meals back then… It’s an unforgettable anniversary in my memory.”

Prissy looked at the bonfire and asked again.

“If that… is that enough…?”

Hayu soon turns his gaze to her sad gaze.

“Maybe… my birthday is the season when autumn leaves come. There are fruits of the sun, and it is the day when the moon rises like this. How about today…?”

“You’re lying…”

Hayu was vague about Chuseok, which was her birthday in Korea, so she explained roughly around the corner.

“Really. Besides, you just ate apple pie deliciously, didn’t you? I also like well-baked apples… I had a birthday celebration with that type of pie at my place.”

-Tadak. tadak.

“Besides, I received the saintess’s heart, so that’s how it turned out. That’s really enough now.”

“is that so…”

Prissy thought.

Why does this man always speak in a way that is considerate of others?

He’s not a pastor, religious person, priest, or priest, he’s just a demon’s servant…

Why did God give such a kind personality to a person in such a harsh position?

So I can’t leave it any longer.

Prissy slowly decided to speak her mind to Hayu.

“Hayu, I have something to tell you…”

Hayu nodded his head in response.

Slowly, in a way that I can listen to as much as I want.

Prissy started talking slowly, one by one.

“First, I want to apologize. Miss Eliana… If I hadn’t mentioned Hayu in our letters, if I hadn’t visited her room in vain… this wouldn’t have happened… I’m really sorry.”

Hayu shook his head as if it wasn’t a problem at all, but Prissy’s eyes were already starting to fill up with water.

“…When I opened my eyes, I was in the garden of the mansion. Hayu, who was cutting my knee, disappeared everywhere, leaving Eliana-sama alone.”

Her sweet voice begins to tremble.

“I was able to figure it out right away. Miss Eliana did something. And I couldn’t do anything again… When I was so confused, Lady Arain appeared.”

It must have been when Hayu was in the middle of a fight with Jordin or the prince.

“In the end, Eliana-sama stabbed Professor Cystein with a knife to calm Lady Arein.”

Prissy started blaming herself to apologize, even though she knew negative thoughts weren’t good.

“It’s all… it’s all my fault… if I hadn’t been greedy to come to the academy… Hayu would never have been in danger…”

At that time, Hayu, who had been silent, said a word.

“I am the one who was saved because the saintess came to the academy.”

“yes…?”

“I have chosen. We cannot dismiss this as the saintess’ fault.”

Hayu recalled that in the past, when he was injured while fighting a monster to save Prissy who had accidentally entered the forest of Pandemonium, he was able to survive with her treatment.

“At that time and this time… It is the saintess who saved my life. In the first place, we…”

-Dori Dori

However, as if denying Hayu’s words, Prissy shook her head vigorously.

Each time, finely shining water droplets like dew fall.

“no. no. If that’s why Hayu is nice to me… it’s wrong.”

“…?”

“At that time, I didn’t have that much divine power… It was a time when I was still short of training, so I didn’t have any abilities as a priest or a priest.”

Prissy said, swallowing the tears that burst out.

“It wasn’t me who saved Hayu from dying, but Lady Arain.”

“……?”

“I am a member of the family. At that time, when I had no way to do anything, Hayu formed a family with the lady Arain… and survived.”

“That… it can’t be. The family must have been formed during the coming-of-age ceremony…”

Hayu tried hard to deny it, but Prissy only elicited a firm answer.

“No… In order to save Mr. Hayu, the Arain lady, who has not matured according to the demon standard, forced herself to join the family.”

His head hurts throbbingly.

It’s shocking that Systein’s words that such a power exists in his family were true, but

Being a demon’s family is very important, so it was unbelievable that Rain would have gone to such an extent for his own sake.

In the end, it was Rain who saved him, and she who brought him to this point.

‘Ha… is that… important?’

Even if it wasn’t for Rain, the demons who harassed him weren’t alone.

-Because of your humble bastard! Miss Arain!

Somehow, Hayu could guess that this was the reason why the violence got worse after that day.

“And… I was the one who asked Lady Arain for help… to save Mr. Hayu… on my own without asking what you think… I’m sorry. Sorry.”

“……”

Thoughts are organized in Hayu’s head.

-There is no lie in her heart purely to save me.

-I can’t get angry when I think of how she would do everything she had to do even if I died, thinking that she would have endlessly worried about me as an individual.

with that.

“At that time, this time too, it was all because of me… Will you treat me warmly even if I am like this…? I’m not qualified… I can’t do anything for Mr. Hayu… I’m only doing things…”

‘Those who should apologize…’

Hayu did not understand this situation.

Why does the saintess have to apologize? It felt like

-chuck

He grabbed her shoulders with both hands.

“!”

The blanket covering Prissy slides down on its own.

“If it wasn’t for the saintess… I would have given up several times. Even if that happened, the saintess always approached me with sincerity, every moment. There is no doubt that I was saved by you.”

“No. Rather, I was saved…!”

Prissy was too ashamed of herself to be considered even in this situation.

Because she had lost her parents early, and in the forest she went into to die, the one he saved by giving his life was none other than his humble self.

Hayu just started saying what came to mind.

“It is only the human heart to want to be good to the person you like. Isn’t that why the saintess also saved me from the ecliptic…? Please don’t beat yourself up.”

“……”

A tear falls from Prissy’s left eye.

“Remember? In the Cloud Garden… I told you I might disappear…”

She quietly closed her eyes and nodded.

“So… please keep your promise.”

“Promise… I know.”

“Even without me. Please always stay there. Prissy is a saint now…”

“I am willing. Hayu.”

Prissy finally smiles with a benevolent expression.

– Tiring.

.

.

– Clap.

The two held hands for a while and felt each other’s warmth.

It was definitely warmer than the fireplace right in front.

-…

Amidst the lengthy silence, Prissy gave a hint of rhyme.

“Today was the last day of the festival…?”

“yes.”

“You know what? It is only after the full moon festival that first-year students at the academy are finally recognized as adults physically and mentally.”

“Oh, I see…”

“…yes.”

The awkward silence came again.

Let’s look at Prissy with a gaze that feels Hayu,

She hadn’t covered herself with the blanket that had flowed earlier.

“Saintess, if you catch a cold…”

-Sueug

“?!”

Prissy sneaks into Hayu’s blanket.

Unlike the bright Rain, a different fresh and soft scent permeates.

“Saintess…?”

It fits the white shoulder that seems to break if you touch it,

A white negligee full of innocence and neatness.

It was a big picture of a clerk who secretly put Hayu in a clothing store.

“……”

Silence is unspoken affirmation…

-Sharak.

Hayu moved a little distance and touched Prissy’s neck.

‘Eww.’

Following his touch, Prissy lifted her chin, and as if she was anxious, she closed and opened her eyes repeatedly.

-Shararak.

And the moment Hayu’s large hand gently appeared on the back of her head.

Prissy is coming,

-point.

Their lips and breathing overlapped.

As if breathing as one organ, the two share the breath and indulge each other.

– Chureup.

Unlike the last time, a deep kiss that stimulates the five senses as if clinging to each other.

Before she knew it, her arms were trying to wrap themselves around Hayu, like the vines that wrapped around the cabin.

-Cold…

‘…?!’

Prissy immediately felt her body heat up at the growing warmth and smell of him.

Something, a puzzling feeling of wanting to beg him.

If only I could fill his void.

want to fill It’s entirely mine.

She clung to him, as if embarrassed.

“Call me by name…”

“yes. Prissy.”

.

.

.

– Clap.

Before long, the shadows of the two reflected in the bonfire are extinguished to the ground.
