Ed subjugation battle (13)
?A huge amount of gold and silver treasures hidden in an underground wine cellar.
Dune found this and tried to use it as a justification for Lortel’s dismissal.
The imperial convoy was running to help him.
Taily McLaure rushes forward with the sole intention of saving Ayla.
After receiving his blow I tried to somehow regain consciousness but ended up losing consciousness.
These are things I vaguely remember.
I had no idea that Taily who was so devastated that she even had no energy to breathe would deliver such a powerful blow.
After all pride is a sin.
I’ve cornered Taily to the limit so what should I do with this level of attack? It wasn’t something to be treated lightly.
This is because Taylor McLaure’s willpower was stronger than I thought.
Well there is no great point in regretting the past. Now is the time when we have to somehow come to our senses and take care of our wounds.
With that thought in mind I opened my eyes.
It’s a cliché but it’s an unfamiliar ceiling.
And Lucy with a stereotypical face was on the boat.
“... “Is it deja vu?”
“... ?”
“No I think I regained consciousness like this last time.”
“When you collapsed from overwork last year?”
right. “At that time you unraveled quite a bit of my twisted magic power.”
“It’s the same this time too.”
The process of opening your eyes and exchanging stories is as natural as water.
Anyway when I look at Lucy who is somehow dazed I also feel like I’m being stretched so I try to keep my composure.
long time no see. Lucy.
“... I know. “It feels like I came back from a big mess.”
I tried to move my body but the pain started creeping up around my chest so I gave up.
Tailly’s sword wound crossed her abdomen but surprisingly even though Lucy was pressing down she didn’t feel much pain.
The girl is so light that it’s hard to tell if she’s a human or a feather but even taking that into account she feels surprisingly weightless.
“If you put unnecessary pressure on it it will only hurt you. So I used some lightweight magic.”
okay. I see But if you don’t get on the ship in the first place there’s no need to use lightening magic... ?”
That’s not allowed. “Your posture becomes uncomfortable.”
“Isn’t there any reason to sit up here like this and work out the twisted magic?”
“It’s easy to see your face.”
The answer left me speechless.
I often talk about it in a sarcastic tone but if I put it bluntly it’s a straight shot.
After speaking he seemed to think that it was a fastball that was sucked in too straight so he put some magic power into his fingertips as if he was being vague.
“Then can I ask you some questions that I should have asked as soon as I woke up?”
huh. “You can do it.”
“Where is this place how did you happen to be taking care of me how did the situation go after I collapsed what happened to the imperial family what happened to Tailley how did Ayla turn out and how did the Elte Company’s affairs end?”
“Yes I’ll answer only what I know.”
Lucy’s characteristic blank eyes and grumpy tone still remain. However it seemed like he was talking more than usual which was quite surprising.
Actually I’ve become quite close with Lucy.
Compared to the time when we just went to camp to take a nap we interacted a lot in various ways and became friends who knew everything we didn’t know about each other.
In addition there are few people who can be relied on as much as Lucy in times of crisis... It was a position that I always felt reassured by.
“This is the infirmary at the Trix Building and I gave Taily a good beating.”
“... ”
“... ”
“... That’s it... ?”
“Actually there’s nothing else to do other than finish. “Not even an hour has passed since I finished work.”
I was thinking that quite a long time must have passed since I lost consciousness and then woke up.
However in reality even though the basic first aid treatment and Lucy’s magical treatment went well her physical condition did not show much improvement.
“But the rain has stopped. “The sun is slowly rising in the morning.”
“Is that so?”
huh. “The night is over.”
I sighed deeply covering my eyes with the forearm I had raised with difficulty.
is it.
Only after such a pleasant monologue did my frozen brain begin to move properly again.
“... This is probably not a situation where you can lie still. I need to check everything that happened after that. First go back to the camp... ”
... is it.
It may have seemed strange from Tailley’s point of view.
At that point rushing in to stop Taily was almost like risking my life.
No matter how precious Ayla is as a material for research on Aspect magic isn’t it a bit strange that she is willing to risk her own life to protect it?
Tailly must have thought something like that.
“That girl told an interesting story.”
Suddenly Lucy stood up again after saying that. Then unlike before when he sat next to me he sat with his back to me.
He hugged his knees and laid his head on them... I pressed the end of my school uniform jacket that had excess sleeves.
“Seongchangryong Bellbroke.”
I was silent for a moment.
“They made a fuss about me saying something so strange and unbelievable. “To be honest even if it were me I would have doubted what kind of nonsense it was that a mythical ancient dragon came back to life out of nowhere and destroyed the entire Aken Island.”
“... ”
“... “Unless you remember what happened during joint combat training.”
What was not taken into account.
That is the boss battle in Act 3 of was skipped as is.
Therefore a girl named Lucy Mayril who must have been deeply hurt and lonely found a new reason for life and once again her blank eyes shine brightly.
The impact of the existence of the Irregular named Ed Rosstaylor is that it brought about a huge change in the existence of a girl named Lucy Mayril.
Above all Lucy is the girl who confirmed the existence of Seong Chang-ryong in that repeating loop.
“Why are you trying to handle it alone?”
“... ”
“You could have told me too.”
In fact it is not an opponent that can be defeated even if Lucy joins.
The final boss of this entire scenario is so massive that even Lucy struggles.
The majesty of the Holy Spear Dragon that descended covering the sky of Aken Island became a burden and weighed heavily on my shoulders.
“I thought for sure you wouldn’t believe it.”
“Of course you didn’t believe it. “If only it were like before.”
A stranger who invaded the set scenario called ‘Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint’.
That was my last time as Ed Ross Taylor.
You know what’s going to happen in the future. For some reason I can vaguely see the flow of the future.
I don’t think anyone would sympathize with me if I kept saying ridiculous things like that.
Because I started from the bottom.
This is because I started from the bottom where no one trusted me and only ridiculed me and I walked all the way shouldering all my problems alone.
“But it’s not like it used to be. now.
However change is always noticed too late.
Just like after climbing a mountain for a while you look at the scenery behind you and realize that you have climbed quite a bit.
Change is truly ironic because there are some things that you only learn when you look around you again.
I remember my first day in the forest.
There was no place to sleep right now so I forced myself to lie down in a wooden shelter made by gluing together trees.
The sound of insects ringing occasionally in a quiet forest. A landscape with no one around.
A time when I sat alone in the dark and quietly waited for the sun because there was no light source.
I was discussing the pain of loss and loneliness after seeing Lucy...
In fact I reflect on the fact that I was the one who was closer to loneliness than anyone else.
However what happens is that you find yourself once again taking it for granted.
“I will believe whatever you say and I will help you.”
This was because I felt uncomfortable because Lucy who was sitting back seemed to have said something that was truly uncharacteristic of Lucy.
Only then did I realize why Lucy had bothered to sit with her back to me. It must have been a rather embarrassing thing to say to her face.
I can’t quite imagine what kind of face Lucy behind me might be making. Still I didn’t bother to look at it out of consideration for myself.
When I looked up all I saw was a crumbly wooden ceiling.
“Let’s go towards Elte Trading Company.”
Eventually I crawl out of bed.
Lucy who was puffing out her cheeks and looking at me dissatisfied told me that she was accompanying me because she was really worried.
No matter how much I think about it I can’t just sit still like this.
It is time to see with your own eyes how the situation has been resolved.
Taily and Ayla. Lortel and Dune. Princess Fenia and Princess Persica. And even Vice Principal Rachel.
Where did I end up in the midst of the tangle of interests and beliefs?
And the most important thing.
Is it Dune or Lortel who is currently sitting as the acting chairman of Elte Trading Company?
I had to check the results.
