: Becoming stronger (1)

When he returned to the dormitory, Bena was looking out with a confused face.

"Why are you doing this in a strange way?"

"Are you here, Master?"

Bena replied with a stupid smile on her face.

I tried to smile as usual, but I couldn't hide the shadows on my face.

It seems that Brahara was quite shocked to hear the secret of her birth from the elves.

"Don't worry about it."

"I was trying to do that. It's not easy."

did you eat?

" ."

Looks like he didn't eat it.

Even though he wasn't very greedy, he wasn't the type to skip meals.

Jamie chuckled and stood next to her.

"What would you like to do?"

At that question, Bena hugged her knees and buried her head.

Jamie patted her head back and looked out the window.

" What are you doing?

There Siegfried was hanging upside down, watching the room.

Jamie frowned and opened the window, and a cold wind rushed in.

"It was still cold."

Siegfried smirked and went inside.

Bena jumped up and bowed her head to him with a nervous expression on her face.

"Ah, hello. I couldn't greet you properly. It's called Bena."

"Yes, Miss Bena. Nice to meet you.

Siegfried naturally took the chair and said, 'Sit down, sit down' and, on the contrary, suggested a seat to Benna.

Jamie looked at Siegfried with puzzled eyes.

"If you want to come in, you can come through the door."

"I think the atmosphere is serious."

" The atmosphere is serious, are you secretly watching from the window?"

"Stop the little things. What kind of person is Confucius?"

Is it correct to say that in this situation?

Jamie pondered for a moment, but now was not the time for such nonsense.

Siegfried looked at Jamie and Bena alternately, then opened his mouth.

"For what reason? Because of what the elf said earlier?"

"You naturally try to join the conversation."

"In this kind of atmosphere, you can't ask how the two got to know each other and why they hid it from me."

That's right, Jamie didn't have anything to say.

"Anyway, I want to hear Ms. Bena's concerns."

I am ."

At Siegfried's words, Bena bowed her head and began to speak in a crawling voice.

"I don't know what to do."

"Are you going to stay with Confucius or go to see your people? You mean you don't know what to choose?"

Benna didn't answer.

It was because I felt sorry for Jamie for answering 'yes'.

To her, Jamie was a savior who lifted herself from her dark pain into the light. If it weren't for him, he would still be forced to do things he didn't want to do, still being bullied by the Gav School.

I understood in my head. That it's right to stay by Jamie's side.

However, the opportunity to meet the family came.

Because he had no memories of his childhood, the faces of his people were unknown. But on the other hand, I have always thought that way.

'Do I have a family?'

Everyone has parents who gave birth to them. So it will be with you.

There were times when I used to think like that, but as the school's life went on for a year, all that was left was loneliness.

In such a situation, I longed for someone to relieve my loneliness. Then came Jamie Welton.

Although he was a boy much younger than him, he led him into the world of light.

So it was right to stay with him. Both for him and for himself.

'However .'

My hands trembled.

Whatever choice you make, you will regret it.

You don't want to give up on anything, but eventually you have to give up one thing.

Then, with less regret... .

However, there was no such thing.

vena.

Then, her savior raised a hand over her head.

Bena didn't know what to do with the rising emotions.

Jamie said.

"Go."

" Yeah?

"It's better."

How are you?

Was he just a burden to him?

When I thought of that, I felt a strong sense of unease.

Bena shook her head urgently and grabbed Jamie's hem.

"I will stay. Of course you have to stay... ."

"I don't mean that."

Jamie shook her head. Then he said with a faint smile.

"Go and see your people and come back. Your seat will always be empty. Instead, there is a condition when you return."

Bena's eyes widened.

She couldn't say anything, and her mouth twitched like a crucian carp, and Jamie grinned and grabbed her lips with her thumb and index finger.

"Come back strong. I don't know if you're a princess or what, but you have to get everything you can and then come back. Okay?

" Noah (Yeah)."

Because he was holding his lips, instead of answering, only the wind leaked out between his lips.

Jamie let go of her lips.

Benna rubbed her lips and looked at Jamie with tears in her eyes.

"Really, can I really come?"

"It's not like we're breaking up forever. are you a kid?"

"Are you right?"

Siegfried, who was watching from the side, interrupted.

"And Confucius is more of a child than a Bena sheep."

" ."

In an instant, I forgot that this yangban was by my side.

Jamie coughed in embarrassment.

"Hmmm. Anyway. So stop being depressed and take this."

He handed the small marble that Braha had given her to Bena.

"Tomorrow morning, use it and Brahara will be able to contact the elf."

master ."

"Stop sleeping."

Jamie said so and went out.

After holding the marble tightly with both hands, Bena looked at the door he had left and somehow tried not to cry.

The Master did not abandon himself. I thought I threw it away, so my heart sank, but luckily it wasn't.

Most of all, he told me to come back. I will leave the seat empty, so please come back anytime, as I said clearly.

'I have a place to return to.'

Benna nodded her head.

Jamie had already left, but she nodded again as if to answer.

Siegfried, who watched the scene silently, rose from his seat, raising the corners of his mouth.

"Confucius seems to be very fond of Bena sheep."

"Yeah ?"

"Because I was a kid, I couldn't manage my facial expressions."

Siegfried finished his words playfully, then opened the door and went out.

Bena, who was left alone, finally burst into tears.

* * *

"How did you meet?"

Siegfried handed over one of the drinks ordered below.

Jamie took a sip as he looked at the drink handed to him. I wonder if it was made by mixing orange and lime, and the sour taste was stronger than the sweetness, so I was excited.

" It's not a drink that a kid will like."

"Did I even have to buy chocolate milk?"

Siegfried talking with a single smile.

I'm pretty sure this person was bought to fuck me.

Jamie put down her drink and opened her mouth.

"The first place I met was Nessmann."

Jamie told me everything but black magic.

In fact, except for black magic, there is nothing left, but it was not difficult to make a novel with the contents of Jamie's extraordinary head.

"At that time, you didn't know that Miss Bena was a Valkyrie."

Ah. Besides that, I lied one more thing. When I saw it in Nessman, it was said that I didn't know it was a Valkyrie.

I actually knew However, if you say you know from here, the content of what you are going to talk about in Miri's Forest is twisted.

Jamie naturally listed what happened at Apton one by one. Except for content related to black magic.

"Thanks to a giant bear named Theberon, I learned that Vena was a Valkyrie."

"Oh."

"From then on, it's as the Elder knows."

There was a blood battle with the demons, and I found out that the Zenith Church was intertwined. In the meantime, I was almost killed by Sable, who was hiding Zenith's first sword, but in the end, I survived and came to this point. Siegfried, who had heard everything, said my feelings in one sentence.

"Confucius lived a very eventful life with a young subject."

"It's hard to believe that it happened in less than a year."

"By the way."

why?

"By the way, do the Countess or the Countess know about Miss Bena?"

" ."

I didn't think of that.

Jamie bit the straw in the drink.

Siegfried grinned.

"It seemed so. Well, I brought it here secretly without even telling me, and the Count wouldn't know."

" Should I say that I missed the time to speak?"

"Well, that's it. A person should have a secret or two. Rather, what I said earlier."

"Okay?"

"That's what I said to Miss Bena. to be strong Why did you say that?"

Jamie pondered on how to answer the sharply digging question, then said it as it was.

"Because one day there will be a war with Zenith Kyo. At that time, I would be the main character of the battlefield, and Bena should be a reliable ally I can trust."

There were no words that came out of the child's mouth.

Siegfried knew Jamie wasn't young. I'm not talking about age. I knew that his spirit was as good as that of any adult.

Sometimes he shows a childish side, but except for those occasions, he always shows an adult side.

But the words just came as a shock to Siegfried.

" Are you serious?"

Yeah. Janice was trying to take too much from me."

It actually took away a lot.

Among the 12 gods, there are some that are absolutely unforgivable, but Zenith was by far the worst among them.

"Then I will break it. Either way."

He knew that he had a deep relationship with the apostles of the Pyro Church.

Siegfried nodded, looking at the young but not young boy.

"Valkyrie. Then you are a great companion."

"He's still a timid guy."

A boy who already envisions a grand future.

No one knows what the end will be, but Siegfried wanted to see it from the side.

'But it's still early.'

The most gifted boy in human history.

Upon closer inspection, I found that the rumors were not exaggerated in the slightest.

But Jamie Welton is still lacking. Even now, he had great power, but he was not even an Archmage. You can't do anything with that kind of power.

'So be stronger than me.'

Siegfried poured out his drink at once.

A sweet and sour scent lingered in my mouth.

Confucius.

Yeah?

"Be strong, too."

Siegfried left those words and disappeared.

Left alone, Jamie frowned, then smiled broadly and muttered.

"All Might doesn't ask. thank God.

All Might was thinking about how to say it. Got a little more time.

"Shall we go soon?"

Behemoth will be waiting for you.

Jamie stretched wide and immediately teleported.
