97 – Abyss (2)

Lachesis Academy, Lane’s Student Council Room,

Floria was skillfully acting in front of Eliana.

“like. If it’s confirmed, will you send me?”

“… Yes.”

“If it’s my belongings, it’s here in my bag.”

When Floria proudly presented her leather cadet bag, Eliana began to check it suspiciously.

.

.

.

It didn’t take Eliana long to dig through it all.

It was a really ordinary Ministry of Magic cadet’s bag.

After a brief conversation with Prince Kyle, she approached Floria again.

“Certainly, nothing looks suspicious.”

“… So, are you sending me as you promised?”

Floria calmed her trembling hands and put her hand on her luggage.

slowly.

“for a moment.”

At that time, it was Kyle sent by Hayu who stopped her.

Floria turned her head and replied with a smile.

“… Anything else you want to say?”

If he even starts searching himself, and if the magic ceremony is discovered… It will be a situation where there is absolutely no means.

So, as she thought of her next excuse, Kyle asked a question whose intention was hard to understand.

“You, too, liked him… ”

“… Who are you talking about?”

“I always seem to be hanging around, I guess… ”

– Turbuck.

Every time Kyle, frowning, took a step closer, Floria took a step back.

– Slow down.

Before I knew it, Floria returned to the window.

And the moment Kyle tries to grab something from Floria,

‘What if… !’

-Wow!

“Wow!”

The window is broken. so easy.

-!!!

– Short. snap.

Rain’s older sister, Cassidy, was sent by Hayu to break into this place through the shards of glass.

Looking at the blood on his feet because he was not wearing street clothes or even shoes, he looked like someone who had been pushed in quite quickly or by force.

‘sister…?!’

And Cassidy began to speak painfully, letter by letter.

“… Arein… go… right now!”

Kyle, who was watching this, said as if he was dumbfounded.

“A simple festival… won’t end with Duke?”

“Tell me.”

“From reporting to the superiors.”

“All right.”

* * *

“… ”

-My last magic, join me.

That one word from Iris was not a command.

There was no coercion whatsoever.

In a way, it was a request for cooperation.

‘… Are you kidding me? What if I told you that I would betray you?’

– Tiring.

[Remaining Blood: 310]

I haven’t breathed magic into the magic circle yet,

Her magic power is still reaching me.

I can understand betrayal at the last minute, but…

In a situation where the final chapter of the magic formula is elsewhere, even if I turn Blood into 444, Iris won’t succeed in the plan either.

So, it’s premature now.

It was simply that if I didn’t cooperate, Iris’s plan would be nothing.

For some reason, the initiative is in me…

‘Yeah, another fucking choice… ‘

Just like this, you can die like a dog, or become a monster…

Otherwise, it would be enough to use Blood like crazy.

Let’s think. If I continue to use magic so that it doesn’t become 444… What will I be like?

As Iris said, it’s incomplete magical power, so I could run out of control, or my life could get in the way.

Still, would it be better than becoming a monster?

I raised my head and faced Iris.

I can not know. You never know.

Why do you look like you’re asking for something?

‘Kick.’

In an instant, a simple method pops into my head.

A simple… I don’t want to take it out on purpose. think.

A sure number to break these shackles.

Iris, the wielder who supplies me with infinite magical power…

…kill?

As my thoughts go to extremes, I deny it,

The resigned tone started pouring out of his mouth like he was coughing up blood.

“Miss Iris.”

“… ”

“What are you saying to me… What do you want to say?”

“… … ”

Instead of answering, Iris just stroked my cheek.

For some reason, I felt like an animal.

I began to argue, completely oblivious to her small, delicate touch.

“I just want you to die like this… ? Until Lane brings the magic ceremony here?”

“… … ”

Even though her tone got a little heated, she just shook her head.

I can’t understand this situation where you don’t do anything even if you betray.

I swallowed hard again.

“Either that… What do you want… ”

“… … ”

“If I run out of control now… How does it go? If this is the case, you too… You can’t run away… ”

Why?

The reason why I don’t give orders as a subordinate…

Obviously, when I was with Prissy, I used it well out of jealousy…

“… If you say you’re betraying, why don’t you give orders as a follower… As it is, both… ”

And incomprehensible words came out of Iris’ mouth.

“can not.”

“…yes?”

“Order, I can’t.”

“…?”

My head goes blank for a moment.

And the next Iris’ words shattered in my head.

“… Because I like you, that’s all.”

she was crying

For the first time.

* * *

‘Hayu… Lee Ha-yu!’

Lane was running through the night.

The situation happened in an instant.

Cassidy was completely out of control, and Eliana clashed with her to stop it.

-Arain, let’s go! please… !

I was able to get out of there by taking advantage of the chaos.

-You guys chase after the vice president!

-Yep!

We don’t know how Floria escaped, but

Seeing the sign of the cross at the end, it seemed like Prissy, that is, to meet again at the sanctuary.

“A little faster… ”

Cassidy is a descendant of Hayu.

And seeing that he was sent here by order of his family, it was clear that something was happening to Hayu.

The meaning of the picture Iris draws.

What I suggested to you…

Kyle’s appearance.

Deteriorating relationship…

Things that grow…

You must go to Hayu immediately and help him.

Somehow, I have to make his wish come true…

‘I want to help, even if it’s one last time… ‘

Sooner or later, the academy will also notice the problem.

And when an emergency occurs and an alert is issued,

Movement will be further restricted for the safety of the cadets.

Fortunately, the student council room is not far from the sanctuary.

‘me… Now that we’ve reconciled… !’

So I had to run.

– Pampa bam.

A marching song for the procession is heard from afar.

This cheerful, exciting, resounding singing voice,

It was making Lane more sinister than ever.

Just like the full moon festival he disappeared a few years ago… I mean.

‘miss you… Hayu.’

When I think of him, a lot of emotions mix.

I’m sorry, I’m sad, I’m sorry,

I am grateful, I want to be held, I want to be his.

“My heart is now… Because I found out… .”

It was just a hunch.

I feel like it will be the last time I see Hayu in any way.

If Iris is really returning him for Hayu’s sake…

“Please don’t leave yet… ”

Lane has something to say before saying goodbye.

i love you

However, when it comes to confession, there is a timing.

As in real life, especially if this is in a game,

So if this is really a love game,

In a state where a good feeling is steadily built up in the hearts of two people, and the mind is ready to some extent,

The atmosphere, the place, when everything is ripe,

The event called confession begins.

Crucially, the appearance of the confession scene itself also means that the flow of the game has settled down on the track of success.

But in this situation, receiving a confession on the contrary…

What answer do I have to make the ending… ?

.

.

.

“… … uh… ”

I came to like it, so I locked it up like this?

This unbelievable development…

there is

Come to think of it, I’m used to it.

My ex-girlfriend, Lee Chae-won, was like that too.

In the middle of the day, I leave it alone when I’m exhausting my emotions, but after organizing my mind, I’m suddenly possessive, and I’m locked up.

… You could say it’s been corrupted.

However, Iris had a different intention.

The existence of necessary evil… like.

Her flowing tears said so.

Iris looked at me and opened her small mouth.

“… So… Fellow, I can’t use it.”

“What now… ”

“… Because I like it, I can’t do an order that sacrifices you.”

“… you… ”

“… A little while ago, you can’t say that you’ll end up hurting me.”

Kill Iris…

I did it if I thought.

It was always extreme, and it seemed like it would be the worst development…

Iris started asking without giving me a chance.

“… Why are you sacrificing so much?”

“… Why are you always blaming yourself?”

“… With that said… Am I using my friends without guilt?”

“… Even in this situation, a good person, will you do it?”

I said while holding on to the strings of reason, looking at the traces of Iris’ tears.

“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”

“…?”

“I’m not doing this because I’m stupid and I don’t want blood on my hands.”

“…?”

Iris’s eyes widened.

“You’ve seen… There is such a saying in the world I was originally in. If you want to die, you live… It’s a very famous saying. Just in time, I’m on the verge of falling behind… ”

“… … ”

“That’s why you don’t have to betray each other or sacrifice yourself. Just like when we first decided to use each other, we’re ready to die… Just live together until the end. It’s not too late… I know it’s a wild plan, but… If we join forces… ah… ”

I don’t know what I’m talking about.

I’m not even a cartoon character… Let’s join forces…

One thing’s for sure, first of all we don’t have to make enemies of each other.

Soon anyway, Kyle and Eliana, who noticed the situation, and the academy’s staff, professors, and even the Imperial Army will come rushing in.

Perhaps, they will all become enemies.

So. There are so many people to deal with, so there is no need to strain ourselves.

“Rain, Prissy, you and me… all together… struggle As long as it’s not this dog-like place, anywhere is fine…”

Iris said in a trembling voice, as if she understood my intentions.

“… I am not Arain.”

“I know.”

“… Even the saints you like… ”

“Yes, you are the princess… It’s my new master, Iris.”

She lowers her head slightly as if she is not confident.

“… It will be a tough journey. I have no magic anymore, and I’m just a burden to you… ”

I also speak candidly.

“Me too. A body that doesn’t know when it might explode… If you don’t want to use imperfect magic, you need to supply Rain with blood and be healed by the saint… That’s why I have to live by relying on someone.”

“… … ”

“I don’t like it very much, but with both your magic bag and Rain’s blood bag… life… .”

“… Heh.”

“… !”

Iris laughed.

This was also a first.

And obviously, the words I said… It may be a struggle to get away from the already decided ending.

I know this route will be a very tough one.

‘On one side of Chuno, no, I’m going to shoot five episodes… ‘

The life of a chased wanderer… will have to

I don’t know how long I can survive in the investigation net between the empire and the demons.

Still, I didn’t want to deprive Iris of her sincere first laugh.

“There is such a thing in the world I was in. If you suddenly cry and then laugh, your butt gets horny… ”

“… ah… ?”

– Fidget.

Iris checked with one hand on her hip and the other on the horns on her head.

“Poop.”

This time, laughter erupts from me.

“… ”

Even the shy Iris looks ridiculous and cute.

I can’t even imagine the demons who tried to make a terrible plan… look like that

Iris opens her trembling arms to me.

At times like this, you are like a child.

“… I am cold.”

“Yes, come this way. I will hug you.”

– Imprisoned.

Suddenly, something that held me back disappeared, and Iris’ icy body came into my arms.

“… warm… ”

She exclaims, and the inherent barrier gradually fades.

like that… back to reality… come back

-… …

“Hayu… !”

I may have missed you a little,

And the end of this story…

I hear the voice of the former owner.
