419 8. Two Rings

"You're gone..."

"It was fine."

Still, Alcia keeps staring at the void her parents disappeared into.

Yut hugs her, who has just become his wife, to push her face against her own chest. Usually it would have brought tension, warmth, swelling and softness out of consciousness.

However, he was driven by feelings similar to the impatience of having to do so, hugging Alcia all the time.

"'Cause I'm the only one watching it anymore."

"Yut...... kun......"

"So you don't have to be patient"

"Yu...... t"

Alcia's expression changes from confusion to understanding.

I understand what he's trying to say. At that moment, the orthodox appearance was distorted.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh."

Like cutting a weir, emotions abound.

I had tears in my eyes to keep them from spilling. Even though he was patient because of it, Arcia has similar feelings for eight hits on Yut.

That's sweet.

I'll be sweet on Yut. I've never done that to anyone.

"Both your father and mother are dead people. I haven't seen him in years. Even memories are harsh. And now I'm sad."

"I don't need a reason to grieve."

Gentle, merciful.

At the very least, I stroke my head to convey my feelings alone.

Arcia presses her forehead hard against Yut's chest from herself and grabs his clothes hard.

"You can cry. You can cry, Alcia."

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."

Crying without body or world.

I've never seen Alcia like this before. Honestly, I can't say there's no confusion.

But at the same time, I think it would have been good for me to be here.

Yut and Alcia began their relationship with trust.

Maybe not like Valtrude, who cares more than himself.

At the same time as being friends, they are not like acorns similar to favored enemies.

Not even with Jonah, a parent and a protected person, of course.

Because it was a reciprocal relationship, I could not hesitate, not be mean, not even look silly.

"That was great, Alcia. You've been patient not to worry about your father-in-law and mother-in-law, haven't you? I think you both passed away in peace."

No reply.

Only a cry makes a wooden spirit in a black space for two.

Even sad now, Alcia will definitely get back on her feet.

So, at least now, I wanted you to cry.

Keep it up, how long has it been?

As usual, Yut continued to stroke Arcia's back, but the cry slowly dwindled.

But even if the whimpering stops, Arcia won't try to keep moving. In the end, it wasn't until more than 10 minutes had passed that the two who were in one split into two.

I received a handkerchief from Yut - Yut thanks me again for the acorns he prepares each morning - and Arcia wiped her tears with a crying smile on her face.

"I'm glad your clothes are incomplete. If Yuto had worn it, he would have soiled it with tears."

"As far as I'm concerned, that's still good... Well, don't hesitate to make me cry."

"I don't like it, really. I just cried today. If you cry too much, you're gonna have a headache."

"Today. When I went outside, it was tomorrow, but I'm not surprised."

"That makes me headache in a different way."

Say it yourself and realize it's not normally possible.

Rather, after this, nothing is creepier.

Well done, you did your part.

Rumor has it, Shadow - that's not to say.

Such Yut's predictions - no, not expectations - descend into the street, a goddess of death and sorcery dressed in a pitch-black toga. At the same time, strange inquiries flowed into the space that was empty, and colorful flowers filled the surroundings from where they appeared.

"It would have been a hard role, but that I can't let the rest of you do all this. Forgive me."

"There is no annihilation. Thank you very much."

Alcia kneels down on the spot and gives thanks to God.

Yut, too, doesn't exaggerate that much, but he'll do his best to thank you.

"I also thank you from me. I can't thank you enough for giving me the role I deserve as a gatekeeper."

"Good then!

Satisfied, the brunette girl - Truss Sink God nodded.

"I believed you could overcome your grief. I'm glad to hear it."

"It's a waste, it's a word."

A goddess of death and sorcery who showcased the past and fed parents and children goodbye.

That, too, is for Alcia, who can't wait to call herself her beloved daughter. Now that the Murgush God has also been banished, reluctance is useless.

(- And you must think. Well, what pops up......)

It protected the souls of my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my sacrificed children, and gave great things to Alcia.

The deed is exactly what we deserve to call God. It is the spirit, not the power, that should be praised.

That's great.

But Yut knew it wouldn't end.

- In experience.

"Well."

Like a famous detective who gathered officials, Truss Sink God uttered a word.

Not only Yut, but Arcia also trembles.

What pops up.

Even the two of us, situated halfway between man and God, have no choice but to wait silently for this occasion.

"At last, this one will be bound by his beloved daughter and the loved one's family, and he feels nothing."

"Um..."

It's useless to ask questions.

I don't remember being a family member of the Zeras god - the protest was legitimate to Yut, but clouds away with a glimpse of the Truss Sink god.

(I'm not convinced...)

But this is reality.

And if you let the goddess of death and sorcery tell you, it's not of the essence.

"Therefore, let us bless you."

"We are delighted to take it"

"… will accept"

To Alcia, the option of saying no does not exist from the edge.

That's the same for Yut. To be honest, just bless me with words is enough. Just the feeling, I don't need anything more...

As a matter of fact, I didn't realize that its respectful yet unyielding attitude was the factor favoured by the powerful.

"Left hand."

"Yes......"

Follow the Word of the faithful God and offer your hand without any doubt.

"The Immutable Cave Pearl (Cave Pearl). Taking it as a testament to marriage is such a trick to the heart of a maiden..."

Truss Sink God continues his words as he takes Alcia's hand and strokes the wedding ring Yut gave him with his finger.

"Originally, the wedding ring would be a pair. It's not exactly a one-handed drop."

"Ah."

I wasn't really unaware. However, I gave it to Arusia because of the awareness that instead of an emotional ring, it was difficult to make one.

No, that's only one side of the truth, too.

At the end of the day, when one thing was done, it just stopped holding my teeth.

"If so, it would be better to have a blessing instead."

Let go of the hand that was touching the ring, meditation.

The more I see at first glance - or because the Yuts have gained divine power too - the divine power of Truss Sink increases.

"Mage's Protection"

Then the secret (Sacramento) is unleashed.

At the same time, immense power - not sure if it's divine or magical - is poured into the ring of cave pearls. In addition to its immutable nature, the ring did not have to collapse along the way, probably because Yut processed it from hand to hand.

Therefore, I was able to withstand another secret ruin.

"The Lovers' Bond."

That's a secret that even Yut can't understand.

What kind of protection did you give them?

After a while the flow of force subsided, the cave pearl ring disappeared from the Arsian pharmacopoeia finger, and instead, two rings appeared in the hand.

More like a trick than a miracle.

But it would still be a product of a miracle if it were to be the same ring in all its dimensions and have comparable power to treasure (artifacts).

"Alcia."

When Yut called his name, Arsia saluted to Truss Sink God and handed him one ring.

"Twice a day and it's like starting over..."

"It's fine as many times as you want. If it's you, Yuto."

Pushed back by the word, he puts the ring on the left hand pharmacopoeia of his loved one again.

"Yut kun...... no yut"

In return, Arcia also took Yut's hand and gently put on the ring.

The wedding ring with Valtrude and it coexists well.

"Pfft. It's embarrassing."

"Yeah. I can see that."

I tried not to worry about my gaze, but my face turns red on its own when I think of it as an exchange of rings in divine sight.

"Mm-hmm. If this man has vowed to love in front of us, we must work together to make it permanent."

"It's not about guaranteeing eternal love."

"Care about each other is more likely to accomplish this than ask for assurance from this person."

Does heaven help those who help themselves?

When God tells you, it's oddly convincing.

But to put it that way, it simply seems to have grown a ring of cave pearls. Yut was relieved - it didn't work.

"By the way, you can put a spell in that ring."

"Oh...... Is that how you came?"

There are several similar magic items. Same goes for the spear I gave Petra before.

There can't be anything, and to that extent, there's no problem at all.

That's what I thought.

"However, only spouses can put spells in their own rings. It can only be activated once a day, but it can be reused without being re-activated the next day."

"It's..."

"We can only put one spell in it, but if we start over, we can also override the new spell. Of course, there's no staircase limit."

"Seriously......"

Treasures. No, holy relics (relics) at the hands of God. Either way, it must be beyond the realm of magic tools.

Even though it is limited, Arsia has introduced Moments of Travel (Teleport) and Time Stop (Chronos Eyes). That Yut can activate the Miracle (Teulgi).

However, although powerful, pitfalls also existed.

"My God, what is activation by the way...?

Alcia asks questions.

"Heh heh heh"

"Oh, I have a bad feeling"

"It's not about the owners of the rings passing through each other."

"Give me your heart..."

"Let it pass..."

All of a sudden, I couldn't help but get the challenge down.

Before they put their minds through, Yut and Arcia look at each other.

"Whatever it takes to do it, it's better to lay it on your lips first!

"You just wanted me to do that!

"My beloved daughter will not remain defeated by the Holy Knight of Helenonia (Paladin)."

"Too much extra help!

"Returns will not be accepted. Well, it's time to go back."

Truss Sink God, who has seen the exchange of rings, says it unilaterally.

It's only while you complain.

The black space opposite the soul of the dead distorted, stretched, shrunk and collapsed.

It should be noted that this ring will later be referred to as Ring of Archmage and Patriarch - "The Ring of the Archmage and Archbishop," the owner of which simply called it "Me and Mr. Arcia's Ring" or "Me and Yutkun's Ring".

Should it be as expected? What the two of us who left the temple saw was the sight of dawn.

"It was hard on my eyes..."

"Right...... But it was fun."

"Right. Is this good for once in your life?"

In the gradual rising sun, Alcia, illuminated by a dazzling light, is truly beautiful, eyeless.

Leaving the control of reason, I follow and mouth what I thought.

"All the time, let's stay together"

"If you say you don't like it, I won't let you go. I told you before, didn't I?

Two people who exchange brooms.

The distance gradually approaches and immediately reaches zero.

Each other's appearance in the eyes.

Hot exhales that tremble in your ears.

Touching, soft lips.

Sweet scent that tickles your nostrils.

And even taste the presence in your mouth.

We felt each other in all five senses, and the two swore eternity.
