Chapter 190

Ed Subjugation (13)

A huge amount of gold and silver treasures hidden in the underground wine cellar.

Dune who was trying to find it and use it as a justification for Lortel’s dismissal.

The imperial convoy that was running to help him.

Taylor McLaure rushes to save Isla.

After receiving his blow, he tried to somehow regain consciousness, but he eventually lost consciousness.

These are the things I barely remember.

I didn’t think that Taylor, who had been so exhausted and had lost all the energy to breathe, would deliver such a powerful blow.

Pride is also a sin.

He really cornered Taylor to the limit, so he wasn’t going to treat him lightly like this...

It’s because Taylor McLaugh’s willpower was stronger than I thought.

There’s no point in regretting the past. Now is the time to somehow calm down and cover up the wounds.

Thinking so, I opened my eyes.

It is a clichéd expression, but it is an unfamiliar ceiling.

And Lucy, with a clichéd face, was on the boat.

“...Is it déjà vu?”

“...?”

“No, I think I had regained consciousness like this before.”

“When you collapsed from overwork last year?”

“right. At that time, you loosened a lot of twisted magic.”

“It’s the same this time.”

The process of exchanging stories with eyes open is as natural as flowing water.

Anyway, when I look at Lucy who is somehow dazed, I feel like I’m sagging too, so I can keep my composure.

“long time no see. Lucy.”

“...I know. It’s like coming back from a riot.”

I tried to move my body, but I stopped because the pain was creeping up in my chest.

The swords Taylor wore crossed her stomach, but strangely, Lucy didn’t feel any pain even though she was holding her tight.

At first, she was so light that it was hard to tell if it was a human or a feather, but even taking that into consideration, she had no sense of weight surprisingly.

“If you apply unnecessary pressure, it will only hurt. So I used some lightening magic.”

“okay. I see But if you don’t get on the ship from the beginning, there’s no need to use lightening magic...?”

“That’s not allowed. Your posture becomes uncomfortable.”

“Is there no reason to sit here like this and unwind the twisted magic?”

“It’s easy to see your face.”

The answer left me speechless.

He often talks bluntly, but to be honest, he’s straight forward.

After he said it, he thought it was a fastball that was sucked in too straight, so he put magic power into the tip of his finger as if hesitantly.

“Then, can I ask the questions I should have asked as soon as I woke up?”

“yes. You can do it.”

“Where is this place, how are you taking care of me, how things went after I fell, what happened to the imperial family, what happened to Taylor, how was Ayla, and how the Elte company ended up?”

“Yeah, I’ll answer only what I know.”

Lucy’s characteristic blank eyes and sullen tone are still there. However, it seems that the number of words has increased more than usual, which is quite surprising.

In fact, I became close enough to get to know Lucy as well.

Compared to when we just went to camp for a nap, we got to know each other a lot, and we all knew each other, didn’t we?

In addition, there is hardly anyone as reliant as Lucy in the midst of a crisis situation in Yeochaha... I was always in a position to think of myself strongly.

“This is Trix’s infirmary, and Taylor was pounding hard on me.”

“...”

“...”

“...Is that all...?”

“Actually, I don’t have anything else to do. It’s been less than an hour since work.”

I lost my mind and woke up, so I thought it must have been quite a long time.

However, in reality, the basic first aid treatment and Lucy’s magical treatment were handled well, but it was not a situation that could be seen as a significant improvement in physical condition.

“But the rain has stopped. Even in the morning, it is slowly rising.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. The night is over.”

I let out a deep sigh, covering my eyes with the forearm I had raised with difficulty.

is it.

It was only after he had said such a good monologue once, that the brain, which had stopped again, began to move properly.

“...it’s not a situation where you can just lie still. You have to check everything after that. Let’s go back to camp and...”

...is it.

From Taylor’s point of view, it may have seemed strange.

At that point, rushing to stop Taylor at that point is close to risking my life from my point of view.

No matter how precious Ayla is, it’s not surprising that she’s trying to protect her by walking up to her lifeline.

Taylor must have thought so.

“The girl said it was a funny story.”

Suddenly, after saying that, Lucy got up again. Then, unlike before, where he sat next to me, he sits with his back to me.

Holding her knees, she put her head on top of it... and pressed down on the ends of her school uniform jacket, which had excess sleeves.

“Sung Chang-ryong Velbroque.”

I was silent for a while.

“I was making a fuss about making unbelievable, strange noises. To say that the ancient dragon in the myth suddenly resurrected and destroyed Aken Island, to be honest, even if it were me, I would have doubted that it was nonsense.”

“...”

“...if you can’t remember what happened during joint combat training.”

what was not taken into account.

That is, the boss battle in Act 3 of < Failed Swordsman of Sylvania> was skipped.

That’s why a girl named Lucy Meirl, who must have been deeply wounded and fallen into loneliness, is looking for a new reason for her life, and her blank eyes are shining brightly again.

The effect of the existence of an irregular named Ed Roth Taylor has greatly changed the existence of a girl named Lucy Meirl.

Above all, Lucy is a girl who confirmed the existence of Sung Chang-ryong in the repeated loop.

“Why are you trying to handle it alone?”

“...”

“You should have told me too.”

In fact, it’s not a win-win situation just because Lucy joins in.

He is the final boss of all these scenarios, so massive that even Lucy can’t escape the classics.

The majesty of the holy spear dragon, which descended over the sky of Aken Island, became a burden and weighed heavily on his shoulders.

“Of course I thought you wouldn’t believe it.”

“Of course I wouldn’t believe it. Like before.”

A stranger who invaded the set scenario called < Failed Sword Castle of Sylvania >.

That was my last time as Ed Roth Taylor.

Do you know what will happen in the future? For some reason, I can see the flow of the future vaguely.

Even if I make such a ridiculous sound, I think that no one can sympathize with me.

Because I started from the bottom.

Because no one trusted me, I started from the bottom where I was only making fun of me, and I walked all the way by myself, carrying all my problems on my back.

“But, it’s not what it used to be. Now is.”

However, change is always noticed late.

It’s like climbing a mountain for a while, then seeing the scenery behind you and realizing that you’ve climbed a lot.

Because there are some facts that can only be learned by looking around anew, change is truly ironic.

I remember my first day in the forest.

There was no place to sleep right away, so I lay down in a wooden shelter made of forcibly joined trees.

The occasional sound of grasshoppers in the quiet forest. A landscape with no one around.

There was no light source, so I sat alone in the dark and waited for the sun.

I saw Lucy and talked about the pain of loss and loneliness, but...

In fact, he chews the cud and remembers that it was me who was closer to loneliness than anyone else.

However, to rediscover the image of yourself that has come to take it for granted, and to be born again,

“I will believe whatever you say, and I will help you.”

It was because Lucy, who was sitting with her back on her back, seemed to have said something that was not really Lucy, so she felt uncomfortable.

At that moment, he seemed to understand why Lucy had to sit back to back. It must have been a bit embarrassing to say face to face.

I can’t even imagine what kind of face Lucy on the back has. Still, I didn’t bother to look at myself.

When I looked up, there was only a rusty wooden ceiling spread out.

“Let’s go to the Elte Chamber.”

Eventually, I crawl out of bed.

Lucy, who looked at me dissatisfied with her cheeks inflated, told me that she was going to accompany me because I was really worried.

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t stand still like this.

It’s time to see with your own two eyes how things have been sorted out.

Taylor and Isla. Lortel and Dune. Princess Phenia and Princess Persica. And Rachel, vice principal.

Between the entangled interests and beliefs, where did I end up standing?

And most importantly.

Whether it is Dune or Lortel who is now sitting as the deputy chairman of the Elte Chamber of Commerce.

I had to check the results.
