Chapter 216 – 216. When the Full Moon Rises (1)
==================
On the day when the big full moon rises after the full moon,
The world tree, Bria, will be in full bloom.
Yushin never took lightly what El had said.
His heartfelt words were clear.
There was no clear reason, but… She felt a hint of deep meaning in El’s sad smile as she walked through the moonlit garden above the sky.
‘Should I ask Ardena? No, she said later she’d better ask. She said last time she had such a hard time…. She might end up touching something she shouldn’t touch.’
While talking about El Cid, Yushin suddenly recalled Ardena crying and crying, and postponed talking to her until later.
She was afraid that she would be shocked again.
It was strange for her to even talk about it because she was just a feeling that had no basis as of yet.
After pondering for a long time, Yushin decided to ask the most well-informed person among the people around him, who had a keen insight into the habits and culture of the elves.
“No matter how curious you are… , You’re asking the woman who confessed? Is that the very next day?”
Leticia asked.
With a three-faced mouth as if dissatisfied,
She glanced at Yushin, who had been asking her for a favor.
Insensitive man. But he didn’t like it. He must have been a man who mustered up the courage to confess….
He should have hated him, but he didn’t.
Rather, as soon as he was asked, he instinctively felt that he wanted to help right away.
‘Haa, I guess I really like you…. Even though I was definitely denied a confession in front of my face, I still feel resentful that I can’t give up.’
Angry
This man with my confession
And even though he was denied a confession, he was himself unable to break his love for this man.
Leticia bit her lip. With a deep sigh, she accepted Yushin’s request. Because you need me Because you asked me, not someone else.
So like a fool
She decided to accept the request of the man who confessed while being a good fool.
“Whoa…. Okay, tell me.”
Leticia let out a deep sigh and nodded her head.
Because I am the teacher’s good disciple.
If I couldn’t become his lover, I wanted to at least remain a good disciple.
“On the day when the full moon rises after 15 days, she heard that World Subria would be in full bloom…. Can you guess what that means?”
“World demand?”
Leticia widened her eyes in surprise at the word ‘world tree’ that came out of her mouth.
World Tree Bria,
A divine tree that all elves in the Liberia Peninsula worship as the Pillar of Life. It was the place where the remains of the first priest were buried, and it was also a symbol of the divinity of the first priest.
“The world tree… , I have never seen it myself.”
The only people who can access the World Tree are the priest and nobles belonging to the Council of Yetzirah.
Even the daughter of a high elf family,
It was impossible for World Subria to access the sanctuary where she was rooting.
“They say you can only access the World Tree if you get permission from the priest and the Yetzirah Council. But until now, no one has been able to get permission from the priest and the Yetzirah Council.”
Maybe if you’re a teacher,
Leticia added her words, saying that it might be possible if it was Yushin, the demon slayer who saved the country from the demon lord Savnak.
But it’s just a home. There was no precedent for a third party other than the High Priestess and the nobles of the Yetzirah Council to access the World Tree.
“But it is strange. Why does the full moon appear after a full moon?”
Leticia tilted her head.
As Leticia pondered over what Yushin had told her, she put on a questioning expression.
“The full moon will rise in three days.”
At the high elf lady’s words, Yushin couldn’t clear his doubts, and he had even deeper doubts.
* * *
Why did she say that the big full moon would rise after a full moon?
Are you not mistaken?
Yushin, who had seen Heinkel walking around wearing her shoes in pairs, came to think that Elle might have misunderstood the date.
It is possible.
Because the oath was not a perfect existence.
“What do you think, brother?”
Allen asked.
Yushin shook his head.
“No, nothing.”
“Lie. Just look at her face full of worry. Are you going to hide it from me?”
“Uh.”
At Yushin’s short reply, Allen immediately made a pouting expression.
It’s not a relationship to the extent of sharing all the secrets.
However, Allen couldn’t help but keep going to the appearance of Yushin, who was clearly hiding a secret that she could not tell others.
‘Looking at my brother’s serious reaction, I don’t think it’s a woman’s problem…. No, it’s related to my brother. It must be indirectly related to women. Because he’s the one who drives the females all the time.’
She came to distrust Yushin.
A feeling of distrust spread because of Yushin’s behavior of holding her secret in his arms and not revealing it.
Maybe it’s something to do with women?
Just thinking about it made her feel that the tower of faith she had built so far collapsed.
“Full moon. Why is it a full moon?”
Yushin muttered.
Hearing those murmurs, Allen activated her magic tool and she transformed into the form of a Nanin tribe.
“When the full moon rises, I will have sex with you.”
According to Allen, her sex drive is many times stronger during the full moon than usual.
She may be able to suppress it with her strong mental strength, but….
Allen had no intention of suppressing her own libido.
It’s enough to bury her beloved brother in her bed and satisfy her sexual desire.
She had no reason to suppress her lust.
There was a man who promised a future right next to me.
“Now this oppa is in serious trouble, so go over there and play.”
Whoa, Whoa.
Arlen frowned at her Yushin act of trying to get rid of her while shaking her hand.
“If that’s the case, I have an idea too!”
“What are you thinking?”
“I’m going to kidnap my brother right now and then extract all his spirits!”
“This naughty sister is now even threatening this brother! Did I teach you that? I was very upset at this opportunity….”
Write, Yushin gave a warning as if he were training a bad puppy.
But she didn’t work on the dog.
This is because the puppy was a Munchkin puppy who took the highest level.
“I was wondering why you didn’t come.”
As we continued our conversation,
Heinkel, who was in charge of Allen Roxfield’s training, appeared.
Heinkel, who was looking at Yushin and Allen’s face alternately, sighed and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry to borrow your lover’s time for a while, but now that I have to resume training, I think I’ll have to take her.”
At Heinkel’s words, Allen showed a proud expression and Yushin smiled awkwardly.
“Sorry, I unintentionally interrupted your training.”
“I just need to know.”
“But Master…. There is something I want to ask you.”
“What do you want to ask?”
Heinkel nodded as if he would answer anything.
Isn’t it the teacher’s role to satisfy the student’s curiosity?
Heinkel waited for Yushin’s next words.
“Last night, Sir El Cid told me this.”
On the day when the big full moon rises after the full moon,
The world tree, Bria, will be in full bloom.
El Cid said that while passing a garden full of marigolds.
So Yushin asked Heinkel.
What the hell did she mean?
I asked her why she had such a sad smile because her words had some meaning.
‘The appearance of El Cid back then….’
The image of El Cid, who smiled while holding back her sadness, reminded me of Ardena, who suddenly shed tears while talking about her teacher.
It was only after Yushin asked Heinkel about it that she learned why El looked dangerous.
It was clear that El and Ardena shared an unspeakable sadness. Ardena doesn’t remember it, but… , Clearly, the teacher, El, knew that. She is what she said last night so she seems to be giving clues.
“… Well I am also dubious about that. Maybe she should ask El to find out. Even if I ask, I won’t be able to tell you.”
“Are you saying that Master doesn’t even know?”
“Because of the oath, we can’t interfere with the elves’ territory.”
Allen, who was watching Yushin and Heinkel’s conversation from a third person’s point of view, made an expression that she couldn’t understand.
What kind of conversation are you talking about?
He was clearly talking with a serious expression on his face, but there were only words that I couldn’t understand.
“I’ll find out later.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Time to train again, Allen.”
“Ugh!”
After hearing the enigmatic words from Yushin, Heinkel turned around with a meaningful expression on his face.
After Heinkel and Allen left,
Yushin clearly sensed that Master knew something.
He has been like his family for many years now. Even if his opponent was a Sword Saint, he couldn’t help but be unaware that he was hiding a lie in his heart. Heinkel was not only inexperienced in lying, but he could confirm the presence or absence of a lie from his hardened expression.
‘The ones involved in that affair were El Cid, Master, and Ardena… Is it.’
Ardena will also be involved. Yushin instinctively sensed that Ardena was involved in El Cid’s work.
It was just a guess, but
Maybe she said she lost… She thought that there might be a clue in the memory of her breakup with El Cid.
* * *
A Dark Elf elder who led a handful of survivors in the unexplored lands, and at the same time became a teacher of elemental arts to students at Bria Academy, Kalendae was currently welcoming guests.
Because we didn’t know each other’s lives,
The joy of reunion was immeasurable.
“I’m sorry, Kalen. If I had known you were safe, I would have saved you right away.”
“It’s okay, El. I am so safe.”
The guest that Kalen welcomed was El Cid, the oath of the elves. And she was also an old friend of Kalen.
During the great battle with the demon king’s army for supremacy in the Liberia Peninsula, contact was cut off. It was because Kalen and some elves had suddenly disappeared.
“I am a person who fled because I was afraid of the war. Even if I fall to your blade right here and now, I must accept it.”
El couldn’t hide his bitterness at seeing Kalen still feeling guilty after hundreds of years had passed.
Like her own,
Because she was still riddled with guilt for what she had done in her past.
Maybe everyone who went through the war at that time feels similar guilt. Maddened by the madness of war, he still lived with a sense of guilt for the curse inflicted by the runaway that killed countless lives.
She said, “I heard you were able to get out of here with Mr. Gilead’s help.”
“Yes. Without his help, I and all the elves I led would have died a miserable death at the hands of the evil dragon.”
Did he think of the demon slayer at the time of defeating the cruel evil dragon?
Kalen’s cheeks faintly flushed.
Seeing the dark elf smile while painting her blush, El felt a sense of trembling. This is because she was the same as she was when she chatted with the 3rd Director Shin.
‘Why does every woman I meet have a crush on Mr. Gilead? The alternative Mr. Gilead….’
El wondered.
The 3rd Priestess Elenado,
Even her old friend, Kalen,
They couldn’t hide their embarrassment at the fact that all of them had a crush on Yushin Gilead.
In fact, it was to the point of delusion that all elven women might be interested in Mr. Gilead.
“I have something I want to tell you.”
The oath of the elves swept back her light purple hair that flowed over her forehead.
World Tree Bria and…
She then opened her mouth about her own apprentice Ardena Valencia.
“I am going to hand over my everything to Ardena. Just as her priestess gave her own life to make her world Subria completely rooted in this land, I also intend to give her life to her Bria.”
The first priestess continued to sacrifice her life force to root her world tree.
Thanks to that, the Liberia Peninsula, which had become a land of death with the blood and corpses of demons and monsters, was able to develop into the realm of abundance as it is now.
Sacrifice oneself for the sake of the many,
It is the most important of all the virtues that El taught Ardena, and she was the reason for what El was going to do.
