87 – previous life (2).

The fight is over. The monster king and his hordes that invaded the north were stopped without much damage.

Most encouraging of all, according to the original story, the northern part is almost annihilated by this air raid, and Adirun falls into despair.

The main goal of the story was to rise above despair after a long struggle in despair, but that goal was broken. There was no need to worry about twisting the flow of the story.

For me, the story didn’t have to flow. This is not just a fictional world. It is a world where people who are precious to me live and breathe.

So, it was important that Adilun did not fall into despair.

And if I had to question it, it was fortunate that the flow of the story was twisted. Originally, it was as if the whole story started because of the monster’s air attack.

The terrible plague that began in the north, the invasion of Ortaire in the east… … Because it started with the extinction of the North. In the northern part destroyed by demons, a new plague was created by combining people’s corpses and the evil spirits of demons, and it was about how Vitala Church and Adyllun worked together to overcome the plague.

In fact, the most important thing was the plague. As long as it’s an epidemic, it was something that could cause countless people to die from the disease.

The moment the disease spreads to the center, and the national power of Anadheim weakens, Ortaire is invaded by the eastern kingdoms.

I don’t know how the political board works inside, but at the center… … At least, a new trend has been created that has blocked those things in advance.

So I was happy.

I was able to laugh even though the pain rose from a shoulder injury. I am glad that many people lived.

I felt in my previous life… … I started to feel a sense of satisfaction again.

let’s go back

Let’s go back and share the joy with Adilun.

That’s how I left the corpse of the monster king behind, and went back to the wall of the ice sea.

The cheers of the soldiers were heard from the wall of the ice sea. Because they lived, the cheers of the soldiers filled with joy at the fact that they protected the north… … It was making my chest hot too.

However, the moment I climbed the ice wall and faced Adilun, I could feel that my joy was stained with embarrassment.

“… … Adilun?”

Adilun’s expression was distorted as if crying. Only then did I realize that her gaze was lingering on my shoulder.

I slowly turned my head to look at my right shoulder. An injury to the point where it was horribly cracked and bones were exposed. If it was just a little deeper, it would be amputated. It was even a little bit of a mess. Probably, the wound had opened during the battle.

I was already used to this level of pain, but the problem was that Adilun had never seen my wounds like this before.

… … It seems to have caused quite a bit of concern.

She hurriedly ran towards me, grabbed me, and began casting healing spells.

“Are you okay? If you were going to get hurt like this, just… … Why didn’t we just fight on top of the walls? You could have died by doing something wrong, you.”

A voice full of quarters. But I was rather glad that she was angry with me for worrying about me.

As I cast healing magic, I hugged her as she was angry at me.

“I’m sorry for hurting you. I guess I’m still a bit lacking.”

“Leave this. you… … You have to be more scolded.”

“hahahaha. I’d love to see you If I hadn’t gone down… … More soldiers would have been wounded or killed. You saw it. To see the wall of this huge ice sea shake with just one attack from him.”

“… … Yeah.”

The wound on his right shoulder gradually healed. However, it was not completely healed. When I went to apologize to her right away, I, who almost froze to death, was the one who healed right away.

But if she couldn’t heal these wounds now, it would mean that she poured her all into developing magic.

Adirun, who was trying to draw more mana out of the air, collapsed in his seat, probably because his strength was exhausted or because he felt relieved.

“This is fine. You are very tired too.”

“still… … .”

“It’s really okay. You’ll get better soon. How strong am I… … Do you know?”

“… … Yeah.”

To her reluctantly bowing her head, I knelt down. Then he said, holding her in his arms.

“You’ve worked hard, Adilune.”

“You too. Physis. It’s all thanks to you.”

“What have I done? If you hadn’t cast a secondary magic, if you hadn’t used the wish star… … I couldn’t have beaten him.”

“… … still. I was able to overcome it because of you. I just know that if I am.”

This is enough of a shameless pampering. But even that was accepted with pleasure. As I stroked her hair that was disheveled up to her back, she, who would normally have surrendered to my touch, spoke in a rather brutal tone.

“And don’t think I’m going to go this far. You’ll get a big scolding later.”

Judging from the resolute tone, it seemed like it was absurd to go overboard.

“… … yes. I will humbly accept it. I was hurt by a subject who took pride in not getting hurt, so I have to accept that much.”

Eventually I nodded.

I don’t know what I’ll be scolded for, but it felt like a weak chill ran through my back.

It was said that the monsters were stopped without much damage, but that didn’t mean there were no casualties.

At least the battle ended quickly, and it was a shame that the king of monsters was quickly punished, otherwise the damage could have increased.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t just put the value of a life in numbers. The bodies of the dead were buried inside the ice wall, and generous compensation was delivered to the bereaved families.

Originally, the huge amount of money that would have been used for armaments was returned to the survivors in full, and soldiers and knights were paid a huge amount of compensation appropriate for their achievements.

Not only that, but in the aftermath of this war, there are places where the head of household has been lost, so the tax rate has also been lowered to ease their burden. After all, Rodenov’s finances were still rich.

After completing all the procedures, we immediately returned to Rodenov from the Ice Sea Wall. We arrived at the duchy with a warm welcome.

His Excellency Johannes looked at us with admiration as if he had heard about our performance from Sir Aidan.

“… … A lot of trouble. You guys saved Rodenov. I heard that Physis was injured?”

“Ah, Adirun healed all of my injuries, so I’m fine now. And… … It was everyone’s effort to save Rodenov, not just us.”

Adyllun and I answered that.

“yes. like that. You will be tired, so eat a lot of delicious food and rest.”

In response, His Excellency just smiled softly and told us to rest.

“All right.”

We soon headed to our respective rooms. In fact, even though they were going to their respective rooms, they felt strangely regretful. When I was living in the Ice Sea Wall, I had a merger.

“Then, rest in peace. Even though magic has healed the injury, vigorous movement can damage the muscles again.”

“yes.”

Adiluun looked at me for a while with strange eyes, perhaps feeling the same regret as I did, then went back to my room.

I confirmed that she had entered the room and immediately went back to my room.

I tried to pretend I was fine, but the battle with the monster king made me quite tired.

It wasn’t just a matter of injury, but the fatigue of fighting for my life while facing such an enemy was still weighing heavily on me.

Without even time to think about anything, I had no choice but to fall asleep right away.

* * *

My head is heavy. Where is this place?

Open your eyes and look ahead. Landscapes I thought I would never see again appear before my eyes.

The scenery of a collapsed city and broken vehicles scattered around… … yes. To put it bluntly, it is a scene of a desolate city that has been swept away by a catastrophe.

In the middle of that desolate landscape, there is a black dragon.

And before my eyes… … There was ‘it’ again. A piece of my old personality. It faced me again, wrapped in a black mist. That which is in the form of a woman asks me playfully.

[hi. See you again?]

“you… … Is it convenient?”

[yes. You haven’t forgotten.]

“I can’t forget.”

[hahahaha. I guess so.]

It’s a somewhat sarcastic voice.

“Why did you reappear?”

[Well? Don’t you just think it’s a dream anyway?]

As the guy said, it’s just a dream and you can pass it on, but a strange anxiety rises. I had a feeling that there must be something, something hidden.

[Oh, should I say congratulations first?]

“… … What?”

[Because it looks like Adilun will fall into your hands soon. Did you go to great lengths to get her hands on it? Are you ready to get married now? hey, congratulations You, who had no relationship with any woman in your previous life, are getting married!]

What dwells in the exaggerated tone is clear hatred.

Why is that piece that claims to be my old personality twisted so much? And what is the meaning of that dragon that suddenly appeared in front of me?

Questions run through my mind.

[You will be very curious. Why did I reappear in front of you, and why did you return to the situation right before your death?]

I thought it was somehow familiar, but it was also the place where I had my last fight with the black dragon before I died.

“Is this the place where I died? Why are you showing me these places? And why do you harbor hatred for me? Talk about yourself as a simple convenience. No matter how I look at it, I can’t get rid of the feeling that you are a separate individual.”

[hahahaha. Oh my gosh. Is it because you have eyes that can see through the essence? looks exactly right Well, there’s no need to talk about this and that, one after another.]

The guy waved his hand exaggeratedly and moved towards the black dragon. The guy who finally stood next to the black dragon looked at me and said.

[Now then… … Are you ready to accept the truth? I have a bad personality, so I like twisting the moment someone is most happy.]

“Is it true?”

[yes. truth. Now, even if you see this truth… … Can I not feel guilty?]

A twisted smile turns to me. And… … I couldn’t help but feel some kind of ominous feeling.
