26. Flowering Time

Intertwined spirits rush at each other and scream. They were unleashing their anger as if they had been waiting for this dawn.

Now, the target was not even clear, only the instinct to pour out the emotions remained.

A feast of chaos that eats and eats.

At the center was a blue flame pouring out his emotions randomly.

The figure of the girl has already disappeared, and the flame sweeps among the souls.

“… … .”

The sight that seemed to continue forever is now slowly beginning to show its end.

“Dawn is coming.”

The sunlight that is preparing to stick its head out over the mountain range cannot hide its vastness and brightly illuminates the sky.

The light hadn’t reached the earth yet, but I knew it would soon.

I just closed my eyes and hoped that their hearts would be relieved even a little.

The day is bright.

Calm down the excitement that was heating up.

Picking up the body that was disturbed by the chaos.

The time has come to clean up the messy surroundings.

The festival doesn’t last forever.

[Die!]

[Curse! I curse you to the end!]

[Eh eh eh!]

The demons were still struggling, saying they didn’t want to end it, but Emily’s flame raged and suppressed them.

A circular shape peeking out over the mountain range.

As the sunlight slowly began to sink, the spirits around the scrap dealer suppressed began to retreat one step at a time.

As the warm light reached the cemetery, those who struggled with excitement began to slowly come to a halt.

I woke up burning the dawn.

The morning sun had risen, so it was time to sleep.

“I understand, your resentment and resentment will never be resolved.”

But you should have figured it out now.

that it cannot be solved.

Revenge is exhilarating and thrilling, but you can’t go back to the way it was before.

because.

because you are all dead

“We bit each other, envied each other, and struggled. There is nothing left.”

The maddened ones slowly begin to turn their heads towards me. They had a lot of mixed feelings about me who made today’s time.

“So now I want you to fall asleep in my arms.”

Without saying a word, he slowly starts to disappear with his eyes closed.

Even their feelings for me were something they had to carry in their arms.

“Please, I only hope that you will find eternal rest.”

Disappear like a blur

They all started to fall into the deep sleep they should have heard.

[…] … thanks.]

Without losing reason until the end, in the end, he achieved all the revenge, but in a state where he didn’t get anything.

He was the last to see Emily off as she left with a smile.

Normally, the early morning air would have stung my nose, but today I greeted them with the fresh scent of early blooming flowers.

“is it.”

February is called the time when the cold of the north is determined by being trapped and unable to cross the high mountain range.

The crystal cold that remains as if it were pooling melts as the day naturally warms up.

The frozen cold melts at once, so the temperature starts to rise rapidly. This was the busiest time in Northweden.

“Spring is here.”

the cold melts

The time for flowers to bloom has come, even for a short time, in North Whedon.

It was the right time for a girl who loves flowers to fall asleep laughing.

*

“Huh! Huh!”

The dean hadn’t really liked the north from before. It’s not like I have bad memories or anything like that.

They tended to avoid northern regions simply because they naturally dislike cold places.

Especially acid?

Contrary to his bear-like appearance, he hated mountain climbing.

“hehehe! hehehe!”

Seeing the dean opening his mouth and exhaling as if he were about to vomit, Karen, a good professor who followed him, frowned and scolded him.

“Do some exercise. Do you have abdominal obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes? In particular, when I saw him eating, he was very salty.”

“… … .”

The dean, who glanced at Karen, frowned and replied.

“Are you really a good professor?”

“Then what did you think?”

“Kuhm.”

Until now, he hadn’t been able to show that much, so he was actually thinking of him as a simple mercenary.

“I’m a good professor who can only put bandages on kids’ areas, so don’t look for me even if you collapse later.”

Karen grunted and stuck her hand into her coat pocket.

Let’s go over the mountain, the city of North Whedon came into view at a glance.

Taking comfort in seeing their destination, the two steadily moved their feet and eventually arrived before sunset.

“Hey, are you a guest?”

A man with a stocky physique, who was standing at the entrance of Northweden like a hanryang, saw the two and came running.

“I don’t need a guide.”

Karen beckons and tells them to go away, wondering if tourists are coming to a lowland like North Whedon, but the man smiles and trembles.

“I don’t get any money. We are helpers who receive a separate salary from the lord and help people.”

“A helper?”

Wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, the dean asks back, and the man nods broadly.

“Yes, so no need to worry. If you feel uncomfortable, I can tell you where you are going.”

Karen immediately opened her mouth at those words.

“Where is the Verdi family?”

“Hmm? Are you the Count’s guest? But why didn’t you use the wagon road?”

“Eh, carriage road?”

The carriage couldn’t cross the mountain road, so I deliberately walked from the front, but I wondered what it was.

The man smiled and continued his explanation.

“There is a carriage road in the back. You have to go around the mountain road, but it’s much faster than going over the mountain. Any coachman in the area would know everything, right?”

“… … Our coachman said this is his first trip.”

“Ah, I see. You have suffered a lot.”

As a coachman belonging to the academy, of course he did not know about Northweden’s hidden roads. I was in a hurry, so I just skipped over it without even thinking about asking around.

There was no big problem with Keren, but the dean was resentful of the world.

“Let’s go at once. There is a little distance here too.”

When the dean said that he had to walk further, the dean exhaled, but Keren just ignored it and followed the man.

The city was quite busy.

When you think of the North, it’s easy to think of a cold, secluded city, but Northwedon was quite lively. I didn’t feel the cold well, probably because of the friction between people.

In particular, like men, people called ‘helpers’ were going around and helping citizens.

‘that’s interesting.’

Snow-covered scenery is beautiful, but there is nothing more uncomfortable than that for the people who live in it.

Even if you don’t take into account the environment that catches people’s ankles, this city is full of vitality.

“Come on, here you go.”

“hehehe! hehehe! I almost died before we met.”

“… … Take a deep breath and go in. If you leave like that, you will only be laughed at.”

“That, yes. I will.”

“I’ll just go.”

The dean takes a breather in front of the mansion and the man who really left without taking any money.

Karen offered to give me a tip midway through, but I stubbornly refused, saying that I couldn’t even accept that.

Following him with her eyes, Karen spoke to the dean.

“That man is a republican.”

“Huh?”

The dean, who was already wiping his forehead with a wet handkerchief, looked at the man’s path with puzzled eyes.

“Not only that. All seven of the people he greeted as he passed by were from the Republic.”

“Kh, the Clark Republic? Are you saying you are a foreigner?”

“Yes.”

Their distinctive intonation and unique scent of oil have not yet fallen out. It must have been a while since they settled in Northwedon.

“after.”

A well-trained body, a smirk that does not naturally reveal his name, and a quick notice.

‘Is it resistance?’

There are so many rebels in the Republic of Clark that you might be one of them.

“It sucks.”

And Keren, who had once cleared the Resistance at the request of the Republic during her mercenary days, turned toward the mansion with a bitter taste.

“Let’s listen. We have to go back soon.”

“Yeah, that’s how it should be.”

The dean, who was half seated, also gets up with strength.

It’s already March.

The Robern Academy has closed and the evil spirits are still running around.

I left a lot of priests behind as if I was carrying a burden, but I don’t know if it will be effective.

Enter the mansion and receive guidance from the servants.

Meeting Deius was unexpectedly simple. As if they were preparing, they led the dean and Keren straight to Deius’ office.

The door opened, and the first thing I noticed was a large desk with an antique red carpet.

Next to the desk stood a tall man proudly with a slightly frowned face, and on the other side stood a dwarf black-haired woman with her arms crossed.

Darius Verdi and Deia Verdi.

And a black-haired man sitting on a large chair with his legs crossed, looking indifferently at me.

Deius Verdi looked at them and opened his mouth.

“Long time no see.”

The moment she saw that, Karen was convinced.

They have already been informed of their coming.

Since when?

‘It must have been a city guide.’

Those who looked like colleagues who passed by and greeted each other must have already informed the mansion that they had come.

For that reason, the guide man might have deliberately turned around a bit.

Karen already felt a throb in her head.

This negotiation to rehire Deius Verdi.

It never seemed to be easy.
