399 < Chapter 71. Again (4) >

Blink, blink.

Black and long lashes slowly lowered and lifted a little more slowly. Under the eyelid that was closed and opened, I repeated to reveal red eyes that could not be imitated equally by polishing any gemstone on the continent of Cysteria.

Sparkle, sparkle.

Even under the redness of the sun, the dark hair that did not lose its color was dried-up with droplets of water. Instead of hair that does not get wet with the sun's light, instead of eyes that are redder than the sun, sunlight is immersed in that little drop of water.

But then again, wait a minute.

The red eyes close once more and open. The long, curled lashes, like a piece of the moon, move together.

Curls hair that touches the lashes slightly. After a short while, the drop of water that sparkled in the sunlight lost its grip and fell away.

- · · · · · · · · Tap.

The whole world seems to be moving slowly.

Even drops of water seem to fall slowly. It sounds like it's landing on the floor.

"So · · · · · · · · ·."

A spectacle flowed through the red lips of the person who was trying to get rid of the slow senses.

Oh, of course it means only the voice.

It doesn't mean that it feels good.

A high-pitched voice followed by complaints.

"I don't know."

"Everywhere I look."

Long or short lashes. Whether or not the eyes inside look more precious than jewelry. Dark hair or not.

Plants that have not been able to find as much as peanut eggs have always greeted their sister's face.

Similarly, Kalian, who had no difficulty checking her pretty face after a long time, managed to use his magic. You barely make a small silent membrane and then open your mouth again. The horse that was breaking down was headed for the brotherhood in front of me.

"What's this? A draw. I, of course, won."

"Why."

"You got all 87 of them. I am."

"That's not who my brother was when the Balkans wanted to fight."

Blink · · · · · · Blink.

I closed my eyes again for a long time, whether I was sleepy or unfair. Calian shakes his head, briefly biting off his slumber, and raises a finger. And you don't know if the fight is over, but you still point to the Balkans' lunatics who are standing far away.

"You've been in front of them the way you were before. Besides, it was broken after the fight. Why do you say you don't deserve to fight? Boon, clearly. Apparently, it was on his neck, broken after he cut his bracelet."

"I didn't tell my brother I lost. Besides."

"Besides, what?"

"There's nothing a little slit throat won't do for you."

"· · · · · · I can't cut off your neck to keep you from fighting."

"You."

A fierce day has dawned in Plants' eyes.

Plants lowers his voice as if he couldn't take it anymore.

"Half past."

· · · · · · · Ah.

I guess cutting it doesn't matter.

Weird standards, by the way.

"Anyway, I won."

"Draw."

"Oh, why?"

"Half past."

"· · · · · · · · · · · Ha."

I can't sleep, I can't speak peas, and I'm dying of thirst, thanks to Clin, I can't move a finger. I borrowed it for a while, and there was a lasting aftereffect of overexerting strength. Keeping the silent I just unfolded is too much. My whole body aches and my bones ache. More than anything, I'm sleepy. I'm so sleepy.

However, if the peas go to sleep like this, they won't be able to sleep because they will end this fight in a draw.

"You're not tired, sir. Your elbows are crooked, you're bleeding from your neck, and you're bleeding from your waist."

"I'm not dying."

"Of course. I didn't kill him, anyway."

Plants nods once.

I know I'm alive because I didn't kill him. That's another admission. But I didn't lose.

That's weird.

Why do I feel like there's so much going on these days?

"I think I'm going to die, not you."

"So."

"So what?"

"Do it again."

"You're welcome."

"A bet."

"Why?"

"Because we're even."

"I said no."

"You, keep going."

"Yo."

I cut off the roots of Danube on my first hunt bet, so I said I won, but this time I don't feel like retreating. I'm trying to convince myself that I've been forced to do all kinds of things. Yeah, I just gave it to him, and I taught him not to. I taught him.

· · · · · Yes.

I taught you that, too. I said it with my own mouth. Why do I have to tell you so uselessly? He learns from me anyway, and he uses it only on me all the time.

- All right!

Plants opens his mouth, sighing and frowning, as he raises his hand and slaps his mouth.

"I just thought you'd need to fight again. Why."

"You're welcome."

"Bracelet."

"· · · · · · Did I look that good?"

"No, you haven't even looked in the mirror since it changed. That's why we wanted to fight."

Kalian stares at Plants quietly.

"It still smells like flowers to me. I don't think your brother's been released yet."

It smelled like perfume, but it still felt poisonous. I thought that once Calian had won, he would never have made it out of that gate.

"Of course. I don't think this fight is going to work." This one's a draw. You mean fight again. "

"So beat it. Keep going. I'll keep fighting for you. Until you let it go."

The Balkans are overwhelmed with resentment for not getting into this fight. Practicing a lot of killing a Kalian is good for them anyway. So let's fight until we get it over with. This bet is a draw, and I still want to renegotiate my vow of celibacy.

A long sigh comes out of Calian's mouth.

Plants saw Kalian like that. I looked at my face, whitening because it was overwhelming, and I looked at my clothes soaked in ice for a long time, and I opened my mouth.

But the words didn't come out of his mouth.

Instead, there was another sound.

[Clean]

The magical power of clear energy surrounds the Kalian.

Surprisingly, my wet hair was dry. Loose, cold clothes and dry shoes. My hands are dry when I spill water. The dust disappears and the mud spills out.

The blood stain on your black clothes will be erased.

- · · · · · Dream.

It's strange.

Looks like the peas just cast a spell.

"I dream · · · · · · · · ·."

Calian mutters as if he didn't understand the situation all of a sudden. Plants turns to walk slowly toward Estina as if he wasn't going to answer.

Calian slapped my cheek several times, once again, his eyes closed wide. Then you bend your back and pick up pieces of Eila's bracelet and Sinistera that fell on the floor. After you put them in your pocket, you move your shiny feet to catch up to Plants.

"You've learned magic, brother."

"I didn't learn."

"No, I learned. It's magic. It's clean. I didn't use it."

"I'll keep saying that."

"Yo. He asked me to teach him. Did you learn this by yourself?"

"I never learned."

"Clean is magic that requires two circles. When did you create the circle?"

I lie down on my back and sleep, but I don't think it's strange, and then I follow you around like this. Plants frowns slightly.

"You speak in mysterious ways."

"So what did you write?"

"Your brother is very tired. He keeps getting confused."

"Holy shit."

"Manners."

"You really haven't learned."

"I didn't learn."

"Lies."

"You."

"So when are you going to learn about Klin?"

"About 30 or 50 years from now,"

"· · · · · · Until then, you'll keep me in charge of shedding cat hair. I'll take off the cat fur on your clothes until I'm that old."

"My brother promised me that."

Plants walks back and forth without looking back and refuses to let the Balkans know the fight is over. Then he teased his right hand and climbed onto Estina.

Calian's smile bursts as he looks at the stubborn and perverse back of his head.

I used the Clean, but I didn't learn.

I plan to learn in 30 or 50 years.

You'll be busy playing king by then, but you'll have to remove the cat fur from your brother's clothes.

"Oh, my God. I'm so sorry."

So I laughed. You remove the sealant membrane that you've been holding open and burst into laughter. You smile with tears, not even the awe-inspiring gaze of the madmen staring at you.

I could barely hear the laughter that continued for a long time.

- Polygon, polygon!

You hear the sound of Kalian's laughter, as if you didn't know you could come any closer. You hear a familiar footstep. I turned my head and saw Raven rushing towards me and Kiri walking behind him.

Calian shakes his arm with a joyous look at Plants. I opened my mouth while pressing on the yawn to pop out.

"I've spoiled more than you think. I'll fix the bracelet. I'll look in the mirror."

Plants nods, looking down at Estina's saddle.

"Okay."

I feel sleepy.

I am pushed away as hard as I can.

"Still, I can't lose the bet. Let's do it again next time. This time, I have done a lot of concessions, so... In a draw, I'll do it."

"Got it."

Callian opens his arms as he approaches Raven. A slight bow touches Raven's head. I hugged Raven's head tightly. He lays his head on it.

"Next time, I will never turn back."

"Got it."

"Yes."

Callian mutters. And then...

Put your face on Raven's forehead.

Hug your big head. Lean forward.

"I won."

I fell asleep.

* * *

It was a good ride.

When we came to the royal palace, we learned from Merlin for the first time, and we did well. I tried to make the car myself a few times, but it was also pretty good.

I sewed well.

It was because Kiri's clothes were so well torn and worn since childhood. In fact, both brothers and sisters were not very good at it, but they were better than Kiri. In addition, after examining Kiri's wounds many times, he was able to sew well. It was now used only to embroider long names on cat collars or occasionally make cat clothes.

There was no other skill.

I couldn't cook or write very well. Callian always loved the cutest writing in the world, but it wasn't the most beautiful. I had never lived in a place where I could cook, and it was better to write faster than to write well.

- Is that so? Is that so bad?

I was thinking of Arianne's half-braided hair, which was handed back and fixed with a pretty orange ribbon on either side. I also remembered Eila's head, which looked good as a beautiful beaded monk. Then, there are days when I don't like the hair tied up all the time.

That's why I tried to be fickle, but it seemed strange. The serie standing in front of the gorgeous hina smiles.

"I don't know if I've even looked in the mirror."

- I've been braided a few times by a nice, bossy lady, but I've never done it alone.

Hina said, pulling out her notebook from her arms. Then he wrote down the name 'Niedelen Jay, Merlin Fiat' and showed it to the Sherry standing behind me.

"I see."

Hina nods.

And when I followed Kalian to Roselita, I remembered things that I had never seen before.

The blunt voice and tone coming from behind really resemble Demirea. It's similar enough that you don't have to worry about who Demirea looks like.

She's the duc's wife, the duc's mother. I didn't care about those locations, but I could see the way she raised me up when she was Calian's servant or when she became her own daughter. It was definitely the cereal that taught Demirea and Jan that way.

- Sarak, Sarak.

After splitting the braids as he wished, the braided serie cut off Hina's hair with her bare hands.

Hina raised her hand because she was still unfamiliar with leaving her head to others. I've never seen much of my hair before, so I tried to explain my poor skills.

Then Sherry grabbed his hand and put it in Hina's hair, which was divided into three parts. And then he let me touch how much hair I had divided.

"Braid this much hair here, like this. Strong or weak, they do the same thing."

Nod. Nod.

Hina nods quietly. Then he quickly looked at the head that had been braided down to the side and moved his hand.

- Much prettier, I think. Thank you.I 'll do better next time.

Hina smiles as she learns one way she couldn't tell. Lee looks at Sherry, looking at her with strange eyes.

"Sherry's mom. I want to learn."

After tying it up, Sherry saw a short green hair that only had a fist of hair left, and smiled slightly. He replied, pointing to the tail of the sparrow.

"Grow up. I'll let you know when you grow tall and your hair grows back."

"So it's as big as Demirea?"

"You can grow as much or as little as Leah."

Porter's smile nods to Riley. Then the dog is drawn to Jan and walks ahead on a small path into the garden.

After he tied his hair, Hina and Serie also followed behind him.

"By the way, I'm worried that our fourth one won't stop us."

I was just getting up, getting ready.

"For a few days, I told the bridegroom not to let me rest while I was living, and that I shouldn't let the knights come to see me that I was a little hurt." "

Hina laughs with a spring breeze.

I don't suppose you've met Calian.Jan has already told me that you know what he cares about.

If you need anything, just let me know. Living here, the value, I have to.

"Yes, but."

Lilith starts to jump as her doggy yarn moves faster. After watching him for a moment, Sherry saw Hina. And it was a horse.

"Our knights tell me there's been a fire in the royal forest all morning. Before that, you asked the Peacock if he could send a hundred knights today or tomorrow, which he was supposed to support during the next week. I heard Lord Hill said I could feel Prince Kalian's life here. I'm worried about what didn't happen overnight."

If there's a connection to Khalian, Jan's involved, so she's probably worried.

Hina's expression changed strangely.

Hina nods and looks at Sherry.

- Sweet Prince, no. I think the third prince and I, the good prince, made a strange, combat wager. The third prince was confronted by Foot, Khan, the Wizards and the Knights. And I got a call from my brother a little while ago, and he said the bet's over. By now, the therapists will be very busy.

Sherry looks at the talking Hina, pointing at the pink earring.

"You don't have to go."

Prince number three, you're not gonna hurt me as badly as I need you to. And when you get hurt, you don't make that bet again.

Hina said with a light hand gesture.

- Anyways, if I heal them, they won't have scars, they'll refuse. If you don't want to go, that's fine.

Hina, who has just become a Balkan healer, smiles warmly like the sun.

* * *

The sun rises and the sky is blue.

The wind blew heavily all day long.

Because it's frustrating, or because I'm happy.

- Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

Chase, who couldn't hold his mind until midnight, finally left the office with a sudden step.

Then I walked out of the palace, leaving behind a sound of uneven footsteps. You have moved to the highest point in the palace. You set up Servant looking like Tailan at the entrance of the rounded staircase and climbed up alone.

From the beginning of the stairs to the top.

I climbed to the top without losing my footsteps or breathing.

- Cheers.

I stood in front of the place where I have come back often.

The door opens where there is no light. You take a step back and close the door you just opened. And I looked up.

Spire.

It was always a windy place.

On a hot summer day, a hot wind blew and on a cold winter day, a cool wind blew. That was the place.

It's just that I've been in a dream a few times. On that day.

It was a cold day, but there was a hot breeze.

It was a hot day, but there was a cool breeze.

For Chase, the spire was a place remembered by that wind.

- Saaaa · · · · · · · · ·.

It was the same this time, but a little different.

The wind blows.

The moonlight came down.

The wind blows.

"You can't call the news that you're here without permission."

Someone was already standing there.

I was so terrified. I missed you so much.

The starlight was blown away.

"Sir."

With a faint voice, Chase bows his head. However, I did not do so for a long time and raised my head.

After tying them together, I closed my eyes for a moment, holding my head in my eyes that was splattered by the wind. However, I opened my eyes for a long time.

Calian grins at Chase.

I reached out the cup in my hand.

"Just in case. You can come or you can't come. I came up with that idea for a while."

Chase doesn't answer. I failed to answer.

"I made a bet with the Balkans this time."

The glass of Chase's share is followed by Calian's low voice, which follows the ferocious basilica. Bern's words flow.

"Eighty-six. I've dealt with 87. I was fine, but they were all laid out."

Bern taps his left arm intact and looks at Chase. I took a step. I held a glass in his hand.

"I won. It feels good. I came like this."

Chase opens his mouth.

I closed my mouth again because I couldn't think of anything to say.

"I won."

Bern said.

"· · · · · · · · · I. I won."

Chase nods.

I received a glass from Bern.

"Yes, yes, yes. Yes."

Strange, unfamiliar, missed, and sad.

But delighted.

The wind blew.
