Chapter 67.2

‘To die like this suddenly, and like this in vain? I’d never have thought of such a death.’

It is said that when a person dies, all the bright moments of his life flash before his eyes. The white veil before Yurina’s eyes has now been replaced by something like a kaleidoscope.

Reynard, who abruptly asked her if she needed him as a ‘toy’.

Reynard, who quietly cries during a thunderstorm.

Reynard, who sniffs and carefully eats his birthday cake.

Raynard, who promises to protect her with an oath on the little finger, is preparing for that distant kingdom of Cron.

And.

“Wear it until I return. Don’t forget about it, even when you sleep or take a bath.”

Raynard whispered to her with a face like he was holding back tears.

As soon as she remembered that, Yurina quickly pushed Betsy aside. She then grabbed the necklace that was still hanging around her neck.

A bright light erupted from the necklace as soon as a bit of mana touched it, and at the same time, the wolves running towards her fell to the ground bloodied, as if they had been cut with a sharp knife.

Everything happened in an instant.

Yurina exhaled as she looked at the dead wolf right in front of her nose. She felt cold sweat running down her back. Here she was dizzy from the sudden use of magic, and her body, still weak, went limp even further.

‘I’m alive?’

Feeling her own heartbeat, Yurina breathed a sigh of relief. But Betsy, who had fallen next to Yurina, screamed sharply.

“Milady!”

The wolf, which had strayed from the pack, roared sharply and ran towards them. Sir Aaron drew his sword and blocked the wolf’s way, but in vain. The wolf easily jumped over him and already opened his mouth.

Yurina grabbed the necklace and tried to inject mana, but it didn’t work. It was then that she remembered Reynard’s words that magic could only be used once.

‘And what now?’

Yurina closed her eyes, clutching the necklace tightly. The cry of the wolf came right in front of her nose.

“Milady!”

However, she didn’t feel the pain that, as it seemed, would come along with these teeth. Instead, Yurina felt a strong and warm embrace. She also felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her back and waist.

At the same time, Yurina felt hot liquid dripping onto her shoulder.

From that moment on, everything around became quiet, as if everyone held their breath. No, it looks like there was a lot of noise around. It’s just that Yurina didn’t hear anything, as if she was left alone in the whole world.

All she heard was her frantic breathing…

“Yurina, are you okay?”

Only Reynard’s voice sounded in her ears.

The voice she longed to hear came right in front of her, but she couldn’t even open her eyes. It happened because at the moment when she opened her eyes, it seemed that this dream would dissipate in a fog.

Yurina touched her body with her eyes closed. Hot liquid continued to flow down her trembling hands.

Yurina hardly dared to open her eyelids. His eyes turned red again and appeared right in front of her nose. When their eyes met, Raynard sighed heavily and laughed.

“Thank the goddess.”

With these words, and Reynard plopped down beside her.
