Chapter 15

TL-Mechatronic

It was night when she opened her eyes.

“Oh? Wow? Really?”

Haa……. Nina exhaled out loud, screamed, and jumped. Then she was surprised again after running for a while.

“Oh, this new body is very light. It’s amazing.”

After a backflip, Nina smiled cheerfully. The coveted hair was so smooth that it could be loosened gently just by brushing the fingers.

“I can’t believe this, it’s really white and silver…….”

Nina admired her hair color like a snowy field reflected in the moonlight. Obviously, the color of her eyes must have changed too.

Compared to the past, I think my eyesight has improved considerably. It looks clear even at night.’

Her eyesight had plummeted since she was poisoned, but now that she has a new body, she’ll be fine.

Nina looked at the moonlit night sky. It is the same night sky as then. It was hard to realize that two years had passed.

Looking back at the barrier, Sun and Winter Spirit’s crests were engraved in the air like a magic circle on the side of the collapsed wall, shining. It pulsates in gold and silver as if it’s alive.

‘The spirits sealed it. Thank you so much.’

Originally, the priest would have to sacrifice several times just to close the barrier, but there’s no need to do that anymore.

Nina thanked them again in her heart. As long as she’s alive, Nina will never see the spirit again.

“By the way, two years, two years have passed.”

She’s sure Adrian would have not killed his family in the meantime.

She sincerely hoped that was the case. Who would like to kill their own family?

No matter how terrible the family was, she wished that no circumstances would come to push him up to that point.

Nina groaned and looked at her clothes. She was dressed in a black uniform.

The fact that one side was barefooted shows that it’s the same as the one that she wore at that time. She’s glad the bandages are still around.

“Looking at the position of the moon……. It’s time for everyone to sleep.”

There may be people in the nearby fortress, so she set it as her primary goal. Nina started running.

The limbs are light.

Oh my gosh.

It was like being a cheetah. She uttered the incantation in a voice filled with delight.

“North Wind, swift my feet and bring me to my destination.”

The wind wrapped around her limbs and her speed increased in an instant.

Each time she hits the ground, she goes straight forward by 3 or 4 meters.

Is it because of her mood that it seems she has more speed than before?

The fortress that she’d arrived in an instant was dark and empty.

At the moment, it seemed that it was completely abandoned, but as she looked closely, it seemed that it was not in ruins, but was being managed.

“Then, shall we sleep here tonight?’

Anyway, the door to Nature does not open until dawn. Most of the rooms were locked, but the clinic was open. It’s old, but there’s also a blanket.

Nina brushed the dust off the blanket and raised her head.

Then she threw the blanket and ran out of the building.

“Bellac!’

There was a sound of wings cutting through the air. Nina looked up at the sky and frowned.

It was a Bellac in the shape of a winged lion. The lion made a sharp turn in the air at tremendous speed. The goal seemed clear.

“I can’t even sleep!”

Nina shook her fist at the Bellac in anger and began to run after him.

Suddenly realizing that she had no weapon in her hand, Nina broke a suitable branch.

In order to secure a view, she climbed up a tree and struck the branches with her feet, and floated above the forest.

“Ah!’

Three Bellacs, similar to a lion, were attacking the fortress. Standing in the fortress, three Knights were battling the attacks.

Nina’s body fell and rose again.

“Let’s take one for now!”

Nina shouted and grabbed the branch tightly with both hands.

“Winter that puts everything to sleep!! He who makes everything it touches, even the breath freeze!”

The branch froze white.

Bellac, the lion, not aware of the presence flying from above, fell as it was kicked by Nina, who fell from above.

“Huh!”

“Yaa!”

Nina poked a branch accurately into the neck, kicked, the falling Bellac, and landed safely on the ground.

Everyone inside the fortress fell in awe.

Jean seemed to have frozen all over his body up to his fingertips. Vice-commander Louis pulled him as soon as he became a statue and was almost beaten by another Bellac.

“Stay alert.”

In the words of Louis, Jean said stuttering, “But, that person, I mean.”

The pure white hair cuts through the dark night sky like a shooting star.

The woman he knows definitely doesn’t have that hair color, but…….

No…

Adrian clenched his teeth. He felt like he was going to lose the sword he’s holding because his hands were shaking.

“Darkness, rise, and devour your enemies.”

A Bellac stuck to the fortress wall by Adrian’s spell was caught in the shadows.

Adrian’s sword cut through the Bellac’s head. Black blood stuck to the lanterns and flashed like ruby fragments.

“Huh? Young Master?!”

Only then did Nina recognize the Knights fighting in the fortress, raising her voice. When he heard that stupid voice, Adrian jumped.

The third Bellac glided against Adrian’s running back, raising his claws.

“kkueeg!”

But before that, Louis’ spear pierced the Bellac. Adrian stabbed it to the ground and finished the monster,

When the sound of the flapping wings stopped, everything became quiet.

Nina was standing still. She couldn’t figure out what to do.

Adrian called her as if checking in the dark.

“Nina.”

Nina clenched her teeth and laughed.

“Yes, I am the cutest person in the world.”

Adrian left his sword and ran. He ran and stopped in front of her.

Even though he only ran for a while, his breathing was unusually rough.

In the dark, the two faced each other. Nina stared at Adrian blankly.

She knows that two years have passed.

He was no longer a boy. He was now a full-fledged man. The childish face was gone, and anyone would look back twice just to catch a glimpse of this handsome man.

Two years.

Two years have passed. TN: enough with the 2 years damn it.)

“You’ve grown so big…”

As Nina spoke awkwardly, Adrian moved. One step, two steps, three steps. Adrian, who came at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, hugged her.

“Oh!”

Nina made a short squeal and slightly laughed. If she doesn’t laugh, she’ll definitely cry.

He crushed her in his arms. His cheek touched her head.

“Nina, Nina, Nina.”

The strength of his arm was so firm that Nina was almost crushed.

Holding her tight, he collapsed as if he had lost strength in the spot.

“Yes, I am here.”

“Nina.”

His hands rubbed her cheeks, and his voice called her.

As if to confirm her existence with all of his senses, he demanded her. Nina was willing to respond to his request.

“How ……. How……. You……”

The words spoken were as if cut off with his teeth.

Nina whispered as she looked at his rosy-colored eyes mixed with anger, sadness, joy, and hate.

“I’m sorry.”

“If you know, why did you ……”

How can you do that to me?

How can you just decide to leave me alone here?

No words came out of Adrian’s mouth. The feelings he had been pressing inside exploded, and he held her shoulder tightly with both hands.

“Adrian.”

Nina whispered.

Even staring at her changed golden eyes and pure white hair was painful for him.

“It’s my fault.”

At her whisper, he collapsed.

What would she have done wrong?

What?

Sacrificing herself to save him?

Throwing everything away?

For coming back like this?

“No, no, Nina. no.”

Nina wrapped his cheeks that were welling with tears.

In the dark shade of his distorted eyes, Nina was heartbroken by the thin, sharp face.

“But I came back.”

Even if she tried to laugh, tears kept flowing, so Nina laughed and cried.

Even after two years, Adrian is still Adrian.

Not a stranger.

Adrian hugged her tightly again.

“Yes, everything’s okay now that you came back.”

That was enough.

In the dark Violet forest and the smell of Bellac’s blood in the air. The two finally reunited.
