Duke, Please Repent! chapter 94

22. The Duke and the Day of Choice (3)

I took a deep breath.

Holding his hand like a lifeline, he opened his mouth with a feeling of confession.

At first, I didn't realize it. I don't even know why I'm here, what I'm supposed to do... No, I noticed it because it's so blatant.

Well .''

"First of all, I thought that we should live.

Because there is no safe place anywhere on the continent. therefore . I was going to persuade Serpence to stand on the side of the continent.

"With that ridiculous snack barrage?"

If you say that, you'll be making fun of each other, will you stop?

Who was the one who came up with the scheme because of that non-funny thing? I don't think it was like this before... .

At my point, he quietly shut his mouth.

Anyway, before that day comes

Until then, I was just afraid of you. Even looking at that last recollection, the thought of fear outweighed the thought that you were pitiful. Actually, that's the case, killing Shion in [Master of the Holy Sword]... One

" Is it me?"

Even when he found out that Zion and I were different people, he must have imagined killing me without realizing it.

A little force entered his hand, which he was holding carefully, close to what was on my hand.

Serpens, you said you weren't deceiving, but I'm sure you

only did You know how painful your past is, but you put it in your mouth so easily.

That would have been best in that situation. I put you in a corner.

Even so. I only saw you in the book, and I didn't know that you would be so scared even if you were agitated... No, I didn't even think about it.

Without any consideration for him, it was as if he was drunk with his own sympathy and shed tears and pricked his wounds.

No matter what anyone says, this is my thread

It was a number, and it was a deception.

It was only after he threw himself out the window on a moving train that he realized later that he wasn't just a piece of fiction.

Thousands of thoughts ran through my head as I waited for him.

when he came back And he said that he would watch, and he expressed that he could watch.

I am truly relieved, thank you, and I am not sorry.

really .

Don't apologize.

I was about to apologize, but Serpens stopped me. Looking at his face, he looks like he's about to cry again.

Actually, he only had tears in my eyes once, but after watching it for two hours, I felt like crying over and over again.

You know what that day means to me. But if you apologize for it.

I hadn't thought of that.

I just thought I should apologize. That day for me and for him. Since it was an important day, the thought that I had to confess the lies I uttered at that time preceded me.

Sorry , ah! This isn't about that day, it's just an apology for what I was trying to apologize for.

That was apologetic.

"Since I'm a human too, I think Serpens was acting like an adult for some reason, so I must have been selfishly complaining without my knowledge."

What the hell...

He looked at me as if there was no point in my words.

Then, as if he had ever acted like a child, his disgruntled face was like a kid who complained not to be treated like a child.

"No, why did you become young again? Why did you degenerate?"

" what other nonsense is that?"

Contrary to his disgusting tone, his expression is that of a playful boy himself.

I usually joke around with my friends and take it back. such an ordinary boy

That is.

In the world I lived in, there was a word like this.

Perhaps Serpens was interested in the word "the world I lived in", so he opened his eyes and blinked a few times as if he was indifferent, pretending not to.

That's more Tina... .'

They only feel repulsive to the act of being forced to learn, but they seem to have a lot of curiosity itself.

You are always forced to have only the necessary knowledge, so it makes you more interested in other things.

Come to think of it, on the way to the Kingdom of Bastul, when I stopped at the night market for the first time, I didn't even pick up my luggage and move it.

As if trying to get a little more time to play.

Wasn't the reason you asked me if I didn't expect it because I expected it in the end?

A good and kind friend is called 'Seon-Woo (善友)'

" do you want to say that you are a good and kind friend now?"

Yes, it is!

The expression on his face was so delightful that he wondered if he had all these brazen children, and he giggled and laughed.

I'll have to consider the word smart, but the others seem to be right. Seo Seonu?

Pronunciation is a little leaky, but well. About right.

As he spoke with a single smile, his face hardened.

And then, 'Sun, ooh. line right . Seo Eon-moo .' and uttered the word lowly several times.

It felt like an unfamiliar thrill.

Sunwoo. Is this your real name?

"Yes, that's right. To be precise, 'Yoo Seon-woo (柳 善友), for reference, the first is the last name and the second is the first name."

"Really from one to ten they belong to another world."

Because I'm from another world.

He grabbed my hand again.

Even if you hold on tight, it won't go anywhere.

Yoo Seon-woo.

" Yes.

Sunwoo...

"Why do you keep calling me?"

Even so, the real name I haven't heard in a long time is already awkward, but I'm very moved that it clearly refers to me... .

The figure of Serpens in the immediate vicinity began to shake violently and look blurry.

Sunwoo. You can cry out loud. I don't talk like anyone else.

Like anyone else..., crying for two hours

Only then do I exist as myself

min heard.

What used to float alone in this world seems to have settled down now. At last, it seems that 'a country exists' completely here.

'It was lonely.'

Feeling lonely and not knowing it was loneliness, I guess it was the same for me.

Another hand was placed over the back of the hand that was holding each other. He grabbed my hand tightly with both hands.

He waited quietly, not saying anything, as I had done to him.

I also thought it was a good idea to bring up other things first.

How much time has passed

Are you over already?

I cried for two hours and it wasn't enough, so I guess I expected to cry for at least an hour.

After I had stopped crying, Serpens handed me a handkerchief, and made an expression asking if I could just take it.

Seeing that there was a guy who had been crying for two hours in a row in front of me, I didn't feel any shame and just cried and shook it off.

"Huh that's what I said, right?"

When he answered by holding his breath and wiping his eyes, he put on a look of embarrassment.

"My eyes are red, can I heal them?"

What the hell...

Sunwoo, I'm not worried about you. I'm just doing this because I think I'm going to look weird.

While talking alone in the drawing room, when one comes out crying, it can only be assumed that the other is crying.

It was me who always ran into a situation where I was being called a strange person... .

It's very tempting, no. No.''

He frowned and I laughed again.

The things that kept pushing me down are gone, it's just everything. Everything in the world was fun.

'Is Serpense like that too?'

It also cleared my doubts about me, and the holy sword...

What happened to the holy sword?!

I chose the prince.

It's not that important, it's what happens after that!

Usually it doesn't matter who gets it, doesn't it?

He trembled in vain, knowing that I was curious and worried.

I've told you everything, so let's talk about you too!

Why did he show an attitude that he had nothing to do with the subject word], the holy sword, that appeared with such a strange expression.

From the circumstances mentioned in [Master of the Holy Sword], I had no idea at all.

"Before that, there is one more important thing.

It is."

"What else?"

much? Do you still have that?

As he answered, revealing his blushing face, he smiled brightly.

Isn't it dinner time? Let's talk after eating. What should I do tomorrow...

Since when did you start taking care of your meals?

That's just procrastinating.

Rather than procrastinate because it is difficult to say,

It was a little revenge for me for making him wait months.

Since I cried so much, I'm starting to feel hungry, isn't it? Besides, Seonwoo, you're very sensitive to food, aren't you?

as he said Besides, I skipped the 3 o'clock snack time today... .

"Then I'll come back after eating, so here . No, Serpens will eat quickly and then come back here again?"

The momentum to ask for overtime pay.

Then it's better for me!

No chin sound.

It's natural not to give it, but it feels like I gave and took it because I mentioned it first. Whether I stared at him or not, he calmly put his glasses back on.

I'll just have to eat and go quickly.

Then delicious rice!

No, before that.

As I was about to let go of his hand, he pulled me back and sat me back, and before I could ask a question, he covered my eyes with his palm.

I could feel the warm energy calming down my young, stinging eyes.

Adore.

Suddenly, Serpens spit out a random word.

Yes? What is that... Oh, let it go!

This Jas], it bounced again.

I was afraid to put my hands away and it flew out like the wind. After all, we decided to eat and see again.

Aren't you ashamed of that?

Is it your baptismal name?

family or lover. friend or colleague. what

Whatever it is, it is a sacred and dignified name known only to those who are truly precious and trustworthy.

Before, I felt like I was a friend, but with a sense of repulsion, I was pretending not to know.

The meaning of Ador is clearly...

When I heard his baptismal name, I was convinced. It was also the god Luxmea who sent me here.

I thought that Serpense's meal would be over after sitting here all alone, so I walked to the dining room and continued my thoughts.

'Maybe God Luxmea wanted to tell him, 'I cherish, like, and love you very much.'

To 10-year-old Serpens who must have been ignored by everyone and lonely alone. I wondered if that was what I was trying to convey.

I carefully speculate that he might have given his name in the hope that he would be truly loved by Sir John and loved by others.

'Nevertheless, just watching his growth as well as his degeneration... .'

Do you think there is a limit to what God can directly intervene?

'This might be something to think about... .'

As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, we quickly finished drinking rather than eating, and returned to the drawing room on the 4th floor of the main building.

Unlike usual, where I had a full hour of meal time, I ate and took a break, maybe it was because I only ate rice today.

Although it departed much later than Serpence, it arrived similarly.

When I saw him in the hallway, I ran to him and opened the living room door first.

How are you? I was early today?

" don't run in the hallway."

At this age, in this world, you'll hear something you've only heard in middle and high school, from Serpence.

While I was trying to find the lost fool, he slipped through the door I had opened first.

_ Tak.

I followed him in and closed the door.

"Well then, Serpens Ador Prasi.

Thes?"

" I'll tell you even if I don't see you. Seon-woo Yoo, please take a seat too."

Yep!

And that's not something I usually just told you to call.

I know that to some extent. The baptismal name is so precious and precious in this world, so keeping it has a great meaning.

'Even with [Master of the Holy Sword], there was no case where Humanus was directly called 'Bright'.'

But still:

Do I know what that is? Calling is a name, and if you keep it as if you are serving it as a shrine, what does it mean? Isn't it, Ador?

Absolutely not. Seonwoo, I know you are from another world, but I hope you will pretend to keep common sense here.

Seeing him feel uncomfortable and ticklish, as if disgusted, made me want to tease him even more.

'But will the effect be halved once you get used to it?'

I have to use it for joking around sometimes.
