81 – Balance (3)

“ha… Sigh… “

Yuna fell to the floor, breathing heavily.

Even though he had been randomly shooting magic around the area just before, the Great Forest was in good condition.

This is because he created his own magic field to prevent magic from causing damage to those around him.

Nature will recover from a little damage on its own, but Yuuna did not do it just a little, so it was because of the advice given by the elf.

“You’re here again.”

After staring blankly at the sunlight coming through the cracks in the trees for a while, Yuian approaches.

Yuian was an elf who helped treat Yuuna.

Through her, Yuna was able to adapt to Elia and became quite close to the other high elves.

In Yuna’s case, she was so sensitive that she had no intention of becoming friends with them, and they treated her very coldly, but the elves approached her with their unique gentleness.

I guess it could be said that it was inevitable. In the end, Yuna was receiving help from the elves like her youngest brother.

The elves were also vaguely aware of her pain, so they were very considerate.

“yes… “

“Nothing changes because of this. As soon as we use violence, we become more violent. But if you do the work of saving, you will be able to save yourself.”

“I save… ”

Surely, Yuna was dying day by day in this forest full of life.

He was the only one dying. Everything was growing, but only Yuna was getting smaller.

“Why not try growing a plant? Since I come here often, it would be nice to plant at least a small seedling here. Then you won’t be able to destroy this place at will, right?”

“… ”

Yuian left for a moment and came back from somewhere carrying a sapling.

It wasn’t in a pot or anything, but the roots and soil were falling out as if they had been pulled out from somewhere.

“… “Did you pull that out?”

“Because we are not involved in nature, we do not plant separate fields. “If you want to get seedlings, you have no choice but to get them from nature.”

It was truly contradictory nonsense, but Yuna didn’t bother to say anything.

It was clear that if I tried to argue again, I would get a headache after hearing nonsense about balance and other things.

“Let’s leave it at this.”

Yuian used magic to dig up the soil and planted the seedlings in a fairly deep spot.

It was in the middle of an empty lot where Yuuna often used magic. Because of this, I couldn’t unleash my magic to my heart’s content.

“Seeing a life grow is moving in itself. I will watch over you every day, Yuna. Then you will realize how precious you are.”

“… … ”

Yuna did not answer this time either.

I just blankly watched the leaves swaying in the wind.

Yuuna’s life was closer to death than to life.

From noble mtl dot com

She really killed a lot of people. At some point, I no longer felt guilty about it.

Would he be able to feel the wonder of life growing?

Honestly, I wasn’t impressed at all.

“Let’s go back now. “Everyone should be preparing meals by now.”

Yuna stood up without a word and followed her.

On the way back, Yuian continued to tell little and unknown stories.

It was truly a different race from what was rumored. The elf is.

I thought they were just chatty ladies.

Still, without that sound, it was clear that Yuna would still be in a state of emptiness that had not been filled.

***

Ben. No, Beryl is coming.

dream. It’s a dream. This time too.

Still, it is comforting to know that I can see him, even if only in my dreams. It was so funny that he thought like this.

Is he alive? Could it be that he was caught up in his own magic and died at that time?

If he really died. So what should I do? At that time, I probably would have cut my own throat without hesitation.

I was holding on with only the vague hope that he would be alive.

Maybe he won’t welcome me when I see him again. No, you definitely hate yourself.

Still, I endure each day in the hope that I might be able to see him again.

If you can meet him, you will be given a chance.

‘… ‘Princess.’

Before he knew it, he was right in front of him.

Just like the days when he was escorting me. As your own knight.

He has black hair that doesn’t suit him and stands behind him in a uniform.

I want to turn around and hug him right now. I tell him I love him right now. I want to pray that I was wrong.

However, the body does not move at will. Yuuna walked steadily forward, leaving him behind.

“… Please sort out the Knights’ matter that way. And the Magic Top Gun will proceed immediately on the inauguration day.”

This was before Yuna ascended to the throne.

A time when he hadn’t revealed his identity yet and was acting like he loved him.

Suddenly, such a question arises. Was it all an act?

The warmth that hugged me. The feeling of our lips touching each other. His sweet whisper.

Was it all an act? Was it a lie? Was it a mask he created to deceive himself?

Even now that I think about it, I couldn’t believe it was a lie. Yuuna was always cool-headed and pierced through others.

Maybe he was just blinded by love.

I may have been completely distracted by the happiness I found after such a long time.

Maybe he always had a knife pointed at him from behind. It may be that he was always standing behind me and looking at me with an expression of extreme disgust.

“then… ”

I want to turn around and see his face.

I want to know what kind of expression he is looking at my back right now.

But the body doesn’t move. We proceed with the meeting in the same way as in the past.

‘Thank you for your hard work. ‘Princess.’

Only after the meeting is over can I see him.

He says, still looking at himself with a cold expression.

But when it’s just the two of us left, we feel a little warmer. His expression softened and he hugged Yuna.

Yuuna, who was in his arms, raised her head and wanted to check his expression.

What kind of expression did he always make when he hugged me like this?

Did he look so disgusted that he couldn’t bear it? Or maybe he was pointing a knife at his back.

I want to raise my head, but my neck won’t move.

Just like that, time passes like the past.

‘Princess… ‘

Yuna’s room after the day is over.

Yuuna catches Ben, who is trying to return, and kisses him.

As usual, he returned the favor warmly. They coveted each other to the point where they could be said to be obscene.

They groped each other’s bodies, exchanged saliva, and hugged each other as if they were breaking apart.

Although I was short of breath, I did not drop my mouth.

Yuna closed her eyes and continued kissing him.

Suddenly, I want to see his expression.

What kind of expression is he making when he looks at himself now?

Is he making a disgusted expression as if he is disgusted by the kiss he is giving me?

Or is he pointing a knife at his back and contemplating whether to stab him or not?

I want to open my eyes and check his expression, but I can’t open them.

No, my eyes opened.

gulp-

“Ugh… ?!”

He was looking down at her with disdain and his tongue was playing.

An unknown pill was being passed down Yuna’s throat.

Nevertheless, the two were still kissing.

“Wow… !”

I couldn’t close my eyes.

He was looking down at himself as if he were a piece of dirty trash, still lusting after his own lips.

In an instant, a feeling of discomfort that cannot be washed away comes over me.

The movement of his tongue, clearly felt in my mouth, feels disgusting, like that of a dirty toad.

“Wow… Ugh… !”

push him away

I felt like I was going to throw up.

“Paha… !”

“You damn b*tch.”

“Ben… ?”

His hair had already turned blonde.

“Tsk-”

He spits at himself as if he is dirty. And turned around.

“Now, just a moment… Ben… ! Ben… !! Wow… !”

I try to catch him as he turns around and leaves, but pain surges from inside.

My whole body becomes stiff. I felt like my insides were going to be torn apart.

I crawl along the floor and chase after him, not even noticing the blood flowing from the corner of my mouth.

But he was already moving away, and the distance was not narrowing.

Only the blood she shed as she crawled left a mark on the floor.

***

Yuuna sat blankly and looked at the saplings that Yuian had planted.

Several days passed, but not a single seedling grew.

Unlike other plants in the great forest growing day by day, the saplings under his care were barely growing.

Actually, I didn’t really care, I just watched.

Still, for some reason, I didn’t feel good that he wasn’t the only one growing up.

Still, the good news is that because of this guy, I stopped shooting magic indiscriminately like before.

“Yuuna!”

“Yuian… ?”

Yuian comes running urgently.

It did not fit their relaxed appearance in everything.

Besides, it wasn’t time to go back yet.

“We have to go back to Elia quickly. “You shouldn’t be here!”

“yes… ? The sun is still high in the sky… ”

“attack! It’s an attack! First of all, quickly!”

attack? A major forest?

From the beginning, didn’t you say that no one can enter the Great Forest because of its self-purifying effect?

Therefore, it was strange that a place that other races had not been able to access over the years was suddenly attacked.

Is there any race that can attack the Great Forest? It’s a forest that only elves can enter.

“Who on earth? “Aren’t only elves allowed to enter the Great Forest?”

“that’s right! Except elves. “Existences that do not receive permission will be subject to purification!”

“But who on earth!”

Yuian ran for a while panting.

Using magic, the two arrived at Elia in an instant.

A magic field was already being installed around the city, and some of them were going out of the city to fight.

“after… Phew… Dark elf. “I’m a dark elf.”

“… Dark elf?”

“that’s right. I thought they were extinct a long time ago, but I wonder where they came from hiding… ”

Dark elf.

I don’t know much about the history of elves, but Yuna also knew that dark elves became extinct a long time ago.

Moreover, unlike High Elves, who appear only occasionally in history, Dark Elves are beings that have not been completely revealed. It went extinct a long time ago in the first place.

“For now, Yuna goes inside the city and hides. Don’t get caught up in the battle. “We will protect our city and our mother.”

Yuian pushed Yuna inside the city and headed to the location.

Because she also had work to do.

“… I want to fight too. “I can at least attack enemies with magic.”

“… yes?”

I don’t know why I said that.

In the meantime, did he at least feel affection for the elves?

Or did I just need someone to express my overflowing anger?

Still, Yuna’s magic skills were trustworthy. Even as an elf.

It wasn’t a situation where I would turn down even a little help.

“… Avoid magic that is too broad. “We must not destroy the great forest, and we must not cause harm to our troops.”

“… yes.”

It was a moment when history, once stopped, began to flow again.

To the elves and Yuna.
