There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

3. Luna

Amelia-sama instructed me to receive all the maps from that day along with Luna.

Luna looked disapproving, but I didn’t like it, and there was nothing like that.

But Luna’s attitude was clearly scratching my insides.

Amelia-sama didn’t look at the map directly, and in most cases, Yan took the place.

To be honest, we expected guidance from someone who was the second-in-command in the Demon Realm, but the two of us realized once again that we had a long way to go to surpass even Yan.

“Sirius. In the last minute, you’ve died a total of nine times. If it was real.”

i know. I know. i’m too weak

“Hey~ Don’t even mention that you and Amelia-sama taught you where you went~”

Luna sneered as she watched the class with her silver-haired hair twisted around.

She was filthy and rude, but she was filthy pretty.

However, even if she said that, Luna was no exception to being crushed by Yan.

“Ah~ It seems that the person who asked me to stop being sorry for being put against a wall during training a while ago is someone else~”

Before I was broken by Yan, Luna was already exhausted after training with him several times.

She and I always quarreled, but most of the time it was normal for her to argue first.

“Sirius… why does his arrogance rise to the sky as the days go by?”

You made fun of me, but you said a word and how dare you say something to me.

In fact, in terms of identity, there was nothing wrong with that statement. She is the devil’s daughter. I’m just human

However, while receiving guidance, Amelia-sama nailed our relationship as a horizontal one.

Regarding this, he said that if Luna or I don’t act accordingly, the map will stop.

I called for joy in my heart, but Luna’s expression that day was enough to look at even if I remember it now.

It was a rare experience to intuit something distorted with those elaborate features.

We had two days of theory and three days of practical training a week.

I came to study demons and monsters, their history and system, and I was able to grasp all the basic theories of martial arts, swordsmanship, and magic.

Luna already knew a lot more than I did, but Amelia-sama somehow made her take all the lessons with me.

Miu or Gou, we almost stuck together all week.

“What kind of hero is he? Sirius.”

Break time. Luna asked me, who was in a daze.

Seria… It’s been quite a while since I haven’t seen her.

Are you eating on time, what are you doing?

I didn’t have much time to remind myself why I was here every now and then, as I was training every day.

“Seria is… um… cute… kind, isn’t she? She’s good at cooking…”

I slowly recalled the image of her that popped into my head.

And soon, Luna’s face, which seemed to dislike something, caught my eye.

“No. Who wants to explain me? Explain the hero! Hero!”

It was clear that this lady was seriously mistaken about something.

“Since when did you say you were cute and nice? You’ve never seen me cook?”

Of course, both of them were beautiful enough to attract attention wherever they went, but should I say it was the correction effect of first love?

Then, suddenly, I remembered the last kiss I had with her.

With a face full of tears, she kissed me asking me to wait.

how can i forget her

“Sirius. That expression. What is it?”

Normally, she would playfully tickle her, but this time the atmosphere was different.

“hmm?”

Slightly taken aback, I asked awkwardly.

“That expression. What is it?”

In fact, I didn’t know what kind of face I was making, so I didn’t know what to say.

“…what were you thinking?”

I had a hunch that something big was about to happen if I spoke honestly.

“Just thinking of the old town. The place where I used to live… Homeron Village…”

She looked at me with cold eyes.

Looking at me, she opened her mouth.

“You mean. Do you know why I am going through such hardships under Master? Me, the daughter of the Demon King, who has nothing to envy?”

I’ve never had such a thought.

There is no such thing as a golden spoon, but why is he doing this every day while being broken by his master?

“To destroy it. I will never let the hero reach my father.”

I could feel the determination in her red eyes.

“Just as you cannot forgive those who destroy your daily life, I will destroy those who try to destroy my daily life.”

It was a natural story.

Of course, if I had the power, I wouldn’t have let Seria go and let everyone die like that.

And, of course, it was clear that the existence of the hero was a great danger to the demon realm.

In a history that repeats itself every 1,000 years, successive demon kings have always driven humans to the cliff.

Because the warriors always managed to decapitate the demon king no matter what.

That is why the demons have been working hard to change the history of repeating their defeat every time.

They constantly tried and trained themselves to get out of the bridle.

Having been here for several months, I knew how hard they tried to escape their fate.

That’s why I stayed quiet and didn’t say anything.

“Sirius. There has never been a record like this in this boring repeat of history. The fact that the warrior’s family became a member of the Demon Tribe.”

It was also explained throughout the class. Thousands of years ago, it was a record of how they fought.

In a way, it was an obvious story, but in another way, it was a strange story.

It is said that all the families of the warriors of the past were killed by the demons, but in fact, the demons did not touch it.

For the shortest period of awakening of the warriors, humans fixed a specific pattern and practiced it from generation to generation.

Really, the more I thought about it, the more there was no such garbage.

At times like this, I even thought that the demons were less cruel.

“You must be on my side unconditionally. For that reason, me and Master. Everyone is together.”

she held my hand

pale white skin. Her hand was too small and delicate to be called the daughter of the Demon King.

It was even slightly cold, so I thought I would believe it if it was the hand of a sickly beautiful girl.

And my answer to her words was fixed.

I knelt down in front of her and kissed her hand.

“Luna. I swear. I will be by your side now and forever.”

A year has passed since I was nominated as a warrior.

Even thinking about it now, it was a series of nonsensical things.

As usual, we went out to see clothes with June, and we met the Imperial Knights, and I came to the capital right there.

I had an audience with the emperor, and after that, days of grueling training awaited me.

Having never held a sword other than a kitchen knife, I was directly taught by Duke Iern, the best swordsman in the kingdom.

And to my surprise, I had a talent.

My achievements were more overwhelming than those of those who practiced swords in the duke’s family, and now, except for the duke himself, everyone has become a person who even struggles with training.

Of course, it was said that he had talent, but it was never a given power.

I had to wake up at 4:00 every morning and start basic physical training, and continue training until my whole body ached in the evening.

There were many times when I desperately begged for a little slower, a little less intensity.

Of course, I was too exhausted physically, but more than that, I was too driven mentally.

I don’t know why, but they were completely blocking me from contacting my parents and Yuwol.

If I had to borrow their explanation, there were only explanations that were difficult to understand, such as that contacting them was a shortcut to weakening the mind.

Instead, they set a condition. 1 year.

It was said that if you follow their guidance without saying anything for a year, you will be given time to return to your hometown for a week.

I just looked at it and ran.

The day I fell asleep screaming from muscle pain, the day I collapsed and fell asleep with tears in my piercing loneliness, everyone ran looking at that on the day of the reunion.

And the promised year has passed.

Duke Iern recognized my hard work and made it possible for me to return to my hometown as comfortably as possible.

They even provided a wagon and security, and to show them they’re back in good shape.

I also picked out a dress myself from the most popular clothing store in the capital.

I was really looking forward to Yoo-Wol’s reaction.

Yuwol-ah… How are you?

miss you…

The way he whined about not wanting to go out, the way he stood me behind his back when he didn’t know what to do, the way he opened his eyes wide at my short kiss.

Those were the moments that I couldn’t help but love.

If I meet you this time, I will definitely tell you my heart.

And starting from this vacation, I never said I would take a break from training again.
