NOVEL NEXT chapter 383
383 – Scene 383# Epitaph
*
“I knew it would be like this! “Are you playing the game as you please during trials?”
The day after returning from her ordeal, Michaela was as angry as expected, screaming. Either way, I enjoyed the tea.
“It’s not dignified to be a loser.”
“Dignity is shit! Ignoring the rules of the ordeal and acting as you please is not a scam!”
Michaela has reason to be angry. Because I also didn’t know what he was thinking at the end.
I just couldn’t leave it alone. Lina dying alone in the flames. The demon lord who had to die alone and lonely. Her harsh fate that made her that way.
My body moved faster than I thought. Like a firefighter trying to save a life, he jumped into the flames and held Lina in her arms. With my power, I could not prevent the death of the Demon King itself. But we could have prevented her from dying alone. I, at least, could have protected her until the end.
“There are rules and laws for everything! We shouldn’t ignore that!”
“I see.”
“What if the future is affected again because of you?”
According to Michaela, Isaac was nothing more or less than an extra who took Lina to the castle under the orders of the lord. She should have shared her fate with Cornwell or Serhan, but somehow Isaac survived. I couldn’t tell if I was lucky enough to be in the underground interrogation room and avoided the anger or if Lina saved my life.
Anyway, thanks to surviving, I was able to fight alongside the hero Alonso and stay by Lina’s side so she wouldn’t die alone.
Could it be that the future has changed this much? Once I returned, there seemed to be no change in the world.
“It doesn’t seem like anything has changed.”
“You don’t know now! Ah! It’s annoying! “Why do you feel like I gave you a test when I gave it to you?”
“Don’t think about it difficultly. “All that matters is that everyone is safe.”
“Shameless talk… Ha, that’s enough. I kept my promise, so you too, keep your promise. Okay?”
“Okay.”
Now we have to figure out how to take Michaela to the outside world. Her task of letting her out into the outside world, despite her frankly unwillingness, is ultimately a problem that must be solved. If I can let go of her, a part of her, I might be able to wake up her her younger brother her, Sora, who is trapped in her system her.
“But… How long are you guys going to keep acting like that?”
“Kko, I’m not playing around!”
It was Wendy, sitting on my lap, who answered that way.
“Then? “If you’re clinging to me like that, it’s not like you’re flirting, but what is it?”
“This much, buy it, buy it… My beloved Saien-eup!”
“Until there.”
Even if I say something like that in public, I’m the only one who gets in trouble.
“Okay. “I will leave so as not to disturb our love.”
Without any chance to say anything, Michaela shook her head and walked away.
I quietly scolded Wendy.
“Wendy. Now she needs to get away.”
“Little bit more… She shouldn’t stay together just a little longer oh… ?”
“You are the one who has been begging me to stay with you since yesterday. “They treated me specially for being with me until now.”
Ever since I woke up from yesterday’s ordeal, Wendy has been clinging to me like a piece of gum. She is the one who at first bursts into tears over the sadness she experienced during her ordeal. In her opinion, I had a duty to comfort her because I was the one who caused her ordeal her. So ever since she woke up, he has stayed by her side and comforted her sorrow.
Wendy whimpered and looked at me like a child. Considering what she went through during her ordeal, it was completely understandable. However, I am a person who has a lot of work to do. I can’t comfort her forever.
Wendy hesitated and spoke at my firm attitude.
“Well, then… You can’t hug me tightly… ?”
“… “Wasn’t it something you were holding in my arms until now?”
“That wasn’t a joke…”
“…”
I don’t know what the difference is between hugging and hugging…
I reluctantly tried to hug her lightly. However…
“Well, it’s a gift… !”
Jjook.
Wendy suddenly gave me a surprise kiss on the cheek.
“… “You.”
“Ehehe…”
Wendy’s face turned bright red after she did it cheek, and she pressed her into my arms. Somehow, after awakening to her new personality, the frequency of her affection seems to have increased.
+
Personality: Love
Rank: ?
Details: It is a heart that has not changed even in the flames of despair, misfortune, and hatred. It is a heart that even a harsh fate could not separate. Love knows nothing is impossible. It has infinite possibilities and potential.
No matter what adversity or trials come your way, you will never break. Your love makes it possible.
The personality also supports and blesses your love. It fills the world around you with love and happiness.
+
I hoped Wendy would gain a personality that would surpass ‘unhappiness’. For example, a personality like ‘luck’. But what Wendy got was not luck, but happiness.
It may have been a disappointing result, but seeing Wendy smiling innocently made me feel happier. Because it was all for her her happiness
But among the many personalities, there is ‘love’… Something feels unfamiliar. Moreover, Wendy, who was too shy to make eye contact, is looking straight at me. And with very longing eyes. I couldn’t figure out how to face those sparkling eyes.
In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore and put Wendy down on her lap.
“… I will wake up.”
“Yes…”
Wendy seemed to be disappointed, but she got up obediently, probably because she thought she couldn’t disturb me anymore. Thank god. If I showed this to someone else…
“Ah! Ah, hello… !”
It stung. When I turned around, I saw Helga, Bella, and Blanche standing in a gap. The timing seemed as if it had been planned.
“Hehe… He’s a good kid. Is something good happening?”
“Oh, that’s right. The Count encouraged me…”
“…Kkook?”
The three women’s gaze is unusual.
“Yes! I was glad the Count encouraged me. Instead, I gave it to the Count.”
“Aha… ?”
“…Jjook?”
“Hehe…”
Oh, please.
“Hmm… I see. Wendy, that must have been great. “I also chatted with the count.”
“Yes. Hehe…”
Bella smiled somewhat unnaturally and looked back and forth between me and Wendy. As for what kind of misunderstanding she has… I’m afraid to think.
She said, “It must have been nice to have a good time with Wendy. Loristan.”
“… “You came earlier than your scheduled time.”
“That’s right, I’m very punctual about my appointments. Mr. Abnormal s*xual desire.”
The expression is scary, but the voice is so soft that it’s scary.
“So, let alone Kkook, I guess you even did Jjook? Mr. Criminal.”
“… Jjook is not a kiss. “I meant a kiss.”
“That’s it. Was it good to have s*x with a kid who didn’t know anything? Mr. Garbage.”
“…”
The following modifiers seem to keep changing. Maybe it’s my mood.
What excuse can you make in this situation? I had no choice but to remain silent.
“Blanchet. Could you please contact the Public Security Bureau right now? There is a criminal here.”
“If the young lady wishes, summary disposition is also possible.”
“Hehe… “Why are you all saying this again?”
“Helga?”
Helga gave advice to Bella and Blanche with a triumphant look.
“It’s a man’s instinct to like a woman even one year younger. “I am well aware of the Count’s instincts, so there is no problem.”
“What is that…”
“Now, everyone is just watching.”
Helga took something out of her pocket and put it on. She had a pacifier and a baby bib.
“Mite! With this, I am the youngest woman among them!”
“… “Are you kidding me?”
“Hehe… The princess really can’t accept reality. Probably the oldest among them?!”
“I’m just a year older! Better than Tristan!”
“Go, princess!”
Before Blanche had time to stop her, Bella poked Helga’s side with her finger.
“Ouch! Stop! Stop it! It hurts! Old maid hysteria…”
“Earn a beating. Very.”
“Oh my god! How can you beat a s*xy baby like me?”
“Are you going to tell me that you stabbed her with her finger?” And it’s not s*xy, it’s probably gross.”
“It’s disgusting for babies.”
“On the subject of labeling babies as s*xy.”
“So, can you be a good mother? Princess.”
“What, what’s wrong?! “I’m confident I can do better than you?!”
“Mite! Count! Me too! It’s okay!”
“Helga… When are you going to grow up?”
Helga was whining, Bella was criticizing her, and even Blanche was shaking her head next to her as if she was dumbfounded.
Nice to see you like this after a long time… Not only did it get longer, but my hair became itchy.
After barely getting the situation under control, I followed Bella to the Isaachel Mansion as scheduled.
Today I had plans to meet with Duke Fred about her marriage to Bella.
“If your father finds out that you are engaged to Wendy, he will be shocked.”
“…”
“Anyway… Why are you leaving a woman like me to beat her tail here and there? For a man like you, castration may be the only answer. At best, I helped break the curse, but then I gave it to a random woman…”
“…”
“Hey. If you have a mouth, at least make an excuse.”
“Bella…”
“Why? Loristan.”
“… Has something like this happened before?”
“Yes?”
What caught my eye was the garden of the Isaachel mansion we were walking through, and the monument located in the center. The stone monument has faded, but is polished, perhaps due to good maintenance.
It was a tombstone.
“Is this your first time seeing it? “This is the tomb of someone who fought against the devil together with our founder, Alonso.”
It was Isaac’s grave.
“Alonso himself erected the tombstone and engraved the epitaph.”
-The man who was the most outstanding teacher and indispensable friend rests here.
The epitaph that started like that was quite long. Specifically, it contains information about Alonso and Isaac’s performance. It was a somewhat unfamiliar performance, so I read it roughly. Still, I especially liked the fact that Alyssa’s activities she were written in one line.
As I watched while holding back my laughter, I froze on the spot as if I had been nailed.
“Uh… ? Tristan? Are you crying?”
Because of the last phrase.
-I won’t forget you either. Isaac.
