Chapter 115 – Cliff’s End (1)
“I lied too. I don’t have a girlfriend. Me.”
“…Uh?”
Russ hurriedly shut her own mouth, from which her words her escaped.
She wasn’t trying to forget what Stachis had told her not to say.
Her shocking words that came out of his mouth her only moved her.
“I don’t have a girlfriend, Russ.”
Starchis once again confirms the fact.
It was something I had to say.
Russ rippled across her face her.
It was the same for anyone.
When she was told not to apologize, new questions left footprints in her empty mind of her.
Originally, they would have spoken to each other in front of each other.
She must have asked him a lot of questions.
But now nobody said anything.
Since nothing came out of their mouths except apologies, they couldn’t even think of the stupid idea of asking a question.
Silence reigned in the base for a while.
Russ’s head was more complicated than anyone else’s.
She had to listen to their fuck all night long.
I had to clean up after them, and I wasn’t forgiven after that.
There seemed to be no gap between them.
It wasn’t hard to believe what I had just heard.
Eventually she opened her mouth.
The only one who mustered up the courage to talk to him was her old friend her, Russ.
“… You mean we broke up… ?”
Wouldn’t it irritate his nerves of her, he asked in a whisper.
“Ah… Why… That… “
Fragments of the horse came out of Russ’ mouth her.
I wanted to add to the words I had already spit out to please him.
Starchis answers before that.
“No. It means it never existed in the first place.”
It was a firm speech.
It wasn’t a lie or a joke.
They needed an explanation.
I saw a person named Elza in real life, but I couldn’t believe that she didn’t have a girlfriend, that she didn’t exist.
Bien’s mouth opens and closes.
She gives up asking questions.
In the end, I couldn’t muster up the courage to disobey Starchis’ words and speak.
As it was, her inner coward ate her.
With her head down, she waited for Stachis to speak.
Starchis stared at Vien with a piercing gaze.
In the past, Russ and Lily had a conversation after knowing their feelings.
It was a conversation full of anger, but I heard the words of love from their lips.
Even though I liked it, I heard that it was right to draw a line and hurt him.
Bien did not.
She never had a chance to talk to her.
It was the first time we had a conversation on this topic.
She received the letter, but she wanted to check it nonetheless.
I didn’t know if it was because I didn’t want to believe it.
“… Before you speak, Vien.”
When Bienne says her name her is called, she looks up at Staches in amazement.
Tears were still welling up.
Stachis’ expression, which had been firmly fixed from the beginning until now, collapsed.
Her face her contorted, and her jaws her tightened.
“…I can’t believe that even you liked me. Even though the words were rough, you were the one I thought was the most tender. I never doubted your goodness. Going to volunteer at the medical center, visiting the orphanage regularly, toiling all day trying to make medicine for my arm… It was all of you.”
And after that, tears eventually burned and flowed from Bien’s eyes to her, anticipating the words of Starchis to come.
“…But… You said this to me too? I can’t believe her. But… Playing with my feelings like this… That’s all you have to do…”
Her tears drip endlessly down Bien’s chin.
She blamed her own stupidity of her.
She resided her own selfish and narrow outlook.
Although she loved him, she was in his shoes and she didn’t think of it.
Stachis looks at Bien with wavering eyes.
Bien wanted to hide from her eyes her.
She seemed to show off her own ugliness in her nakedness to the one she loved.
She thought she was happy to be able to show Starchis a side of herself that she couldn’t show anyone else, but she didn’t think there would be a side of herself she never wanted to show him.
“…So…If I’m mistaken, get out now. If I’m just mistaken and you didn’t do that to me, please leave for a while.”
Bien felt her legs tremble.
She wanted to run away from this spot right away.
Not because she did n’t want to pay for her crime of her, but because she was too scared.
You will not be ready to see his wrath until you die.
But he couldn’t turn away from sin.
The wounds on his hands, which were formed by picking herbs, could not be repented of.
The pain of losing his side of her could not pay for her sins of her.
I had to accept all of his anger now and even get forgiveness so I could pay for my sins.
It was only then that I could look after it.
So she sat in her seat her, suppressing her pounding heart her.
She didn’t move and closed her eyes tightly.
Her tears flowed all at once from her wet eyes.
“…After…”
Stachis sighed, and Vienne was started once more.
The face of Stachis, who had difficulty opening his eyes her, was as calm and cold as before.
“Okay. Okay.”
It was a business voice.
That’s what Vienne was so sick of.
Stachis, who had his heart set, put the subject he had briefly put down into his mouth his.
“Like I said, everything was a lie. Anything related to her girlfriend her. What did you do with your girlfriend, where do you go, which do you like, and even Elsaine herself.”
Starchis spoke clearly, paying attention to each pronunciation.
I didn’t want them to misunderstand or misunderstand.
“It will be confusing. You guys have seen Elzain yourself, and she’s a lie… You might want to explain, but that can be done later. First of all… I’ll be honest. I never thought these lies would affect you guys.”
Starchis does n’t let go of his hard expression his and speaks calmly.
“You’ve been telling me for years. Not interested in me It’s not that you don’t like me as a man. Russ, remember?”
Starchis asked Lily, seeing the emotion blooming on Russ’ face of her.
“Nuna, did I ask you directly? Do you like me I will also remember what my sister said back then…”
“…Star-“
“Bien. It was your habit. Don’t be mistaken It’s not because I like it.”
“..No no..”
She wept as Bien muttered in a voice no one would hear.
“I believed it. Sometimes when the skinship is intense, when I hold my hand tight… When I didn’t have time to meet you, I thought that maybe he actually likes me when I see him pouting all day the next day.
But you always said no. I didn’t even ask, but I warned you not to cross the line… Remember that too?”
Lily shakes her head sadly and reaches out for Starches.
Even though she didn’t deserve it, she couldn’t leave the wounded man alone.
Lily’s hand touches her Stachis’ arm.
Starchis didn’t react.
“I… Needed my side. You always said I wish I had a lover ‘Cause I’m sick of loneliness So I think your words that drew a line between me and me were more difficult for me. Even though there are three such nice women, I am not loved by any one of them. I’m still alone…”
“…You shine… I will always love you-“
“How do I know that, sister?”
A small spark flies in Starchis’ calm voice.
“How do I know if I am shining bright or dirty like dirt? It was only you who evaluated me. I’ve only met you guys for the past few years..! All three gave the same rating…! How could I think differently..!”
Lily swallowed her cry, biting her lower lip.
She witnessed the men she had hurt.
She thought she would know that she was loved by everyone because she was the person who shone more than anyone else, because she was the person who always pulled herself together with her confident appearance and her smile.
But that wasn’t it.
He was festering from the inside out.
Stachis exhales and extinguishes the fire in his chest.
“…Anyway. So when I was with you, I felt more lonely. Sometimes I feel more lonely than when I was alone.”
His words pierced their hearts.
The fact that they were in pain by his side could not have been so painful.
“But I couldn’t get away from you guys… You know what? I was used to the pain of my heart, so I endured it. But, my body almost collapsed… Did you know?”
“…Uh?”
Surprised voices and breaths followed by sobs filled the base.
He tried to ignore the agitation the sounds gave.
“It’s not even a long memory. If you say you won’t meet me, you remember the reaction you showed then. You guys know best why I hang out with you and sleep less. Being dragged around to the point of breaking my body and breaking my heart like that, it was hard to endure.”
Lily’s lips her tasted like blood.
Blood was leaking from her lips, which she had bitten so hard.
I did my best not to cry in front of him.
She knew she didn’t deserve to cry.
Instead, she slowly dropped to her knees.
Starchis tried not to look in her direction.
“Also mentally. It was also physically limiting. It was hard to give all my time to people who wouldn’t love me as a lover. That’s why I lied. I thought that if I had a lover, he would let me rest. I thought you would bless me. My sister even bought me clothes. I wanted to reduce the frequency of meetings. I thought it would be possible if I put my girlfriend first. So I did.”
The three couldn’t say anything to him.
Except for apples.
“…Sorry-“
“-I told you not to apologize anymore. I’m sick of it.”
Starchis cut off Russ’ apology that was about to be heard again.
The words Russ spat out with great courage crumbled.
Starchis continued to control his mind.
He’s also a part of Carriage and Room that I’ve been thinking about over and over again.
Let’s talk without anger as much as possible.
“…There must be a lot of things you still don’t understand. Like Elsaine.”
Stachis lifted her to her mouth, and her letter her from Hiannisti the previous day shimmered in her head once more.
He asks, shaking her head.
“Right?”
Only Russ, wiping her tears, nodded her head with a creak.
“Elsaine is the one who agreed with my lies. She is the one who performed for me.”
“…That… But… I…”
She says, with Russ winning over her.
She knew what she meant.
“She said she first met Elza when I was gone?”
Nod
“It was a coincidence. The fact that she gave you the name Elzain on her first meeting her. Isn’t it funny? If you can’t believe it, you don’t have to believe it. Because it doesn’t matter.”
“…”
“… She was originally a nobleman with whom I met, and her name her was-“
“..Rose Nistie.”
Bien finished his speech.
“…Rose Nistia. I knew it, Vien.”
“…”
“Did you know everything? That it was all a lie.”
“…No… I didn’t know he didn’t have a girlfriend… Er.”
“..S..S..Starchis!”
As Russ had promised, she called out his name her loudly.
Her eyes her, bloodshot red, blinked rapidly.
“…Then… Then… That day?”
That day.
It was easy for Starchis to know which day she it referred to.
The day she hugged Elza, leaving Russ outside her door.
Even in this situation, that part bothered Russ.
So I couldn’t say anything else.
Starchis avoided answering this.
But that wasn’t the answer Russ was looking for.
This was the day Starchis was married to Elzain, or rather, Roz Nisti.
If she was a false girlfriend, what the hell that day would be… It’s terrifying to imagine.
It was Starchis who said that if he did n’t have a heart, he would n’t have mixed his body her even if he had a weakness.
So he went into the room, leaving himself outside the door.
Then tell her the opposite of her, mix her body of her, he tells her …
“Haha..!”
Her heart tightened and Russ gasped for her breath.
Starchis glances at Russ, who grabs her breasts her.
It was getting harder and harder to contain the emotions that stirred her heart.
But there were still stories to tell.
I had to hold on until the end of the story.
“I have a question for you.”
He said.
These were important questions.
He stayed silent for a moment until his eyes focused on him.
“…It’s important.”
Stachis now realizes that this is harder to say than he thought.
When I imagined this moment in the past, it was not so difficult.
I was just curious about their reaction.
But now I was a little afraid.
“…It’s an idea that started with Russ.”
“…Me..?”
Russ asked inaudibly.
He seemed afraid now.
“Russ said she…She didn’t want to be a forager…She told me. Instead, she said that she only believed in my words and followed them. But… Now that I see it, she wasn’t like that. Russ, you… She was doing her foraging her because of me, right?”
“…”
“Okay. Let Russ do it. So what about Vienna? Who is your sister…? Did you both hate doing this?”
Stachis could not have predicted what emotions he would feel at the words to come.
I just feel her hardened face her crumbling.
The brow her narrows, and the eyebrows droop.
Power came out of her mouth.
“… Bien. Answer me.”
“…-Ah.”
“..What?”
“…I did it because of you.. That’s right.”
“… You didn’t ask that. Didn’t want to do it..? Bien?”
“Because of you… I wanted to. Because with you, I can endure anything.”
“Then what if I hadn’t? Didn’t you have a dream to throw an A-class party?”
“…”
Starchis’ concerns were becoming reality.
Until this point, I thought that everyone had been running while looking at one dream.
But the three had other dreams, and Stachis was trying to follow a futile goal.
Mac is unlocked.
I wasn’t even angry.
When I heard the answer, the decision I was about to make was revealed in detail.
“Your sister too… ?”
Lily’s silence also supported that decision.
“Didn’t anyone… Have had the same dream as me?”
As if staggering, he spat out a word without strength.
It wasn’t even a big thought.
He just spit out whatever his head was thinking.
“…Then…We…”
‘Shall we take a break from partying for a while?’
I was trying to say, I wondered what that meant.
Their dreams won’t change,
Starchis also seemed like the lost passion would not come back.
“…Just…”
I just wanted to finish this.
It might be easier when it’s over.
If you keep a little distance from them
The goal of emotions may also narrow again.
“…Just do it-“
-Bang!!
The door burst open and a man jumped in.
Starchis looked back.
It was Marshall.
“Starches!! Do you have Starches!!”
“…Why would you do that?”
Starchis comes to his senses at Marshall’s furious reaction.
It was the first time I had seen Marshall like this.
It would be okay to continue this story later.
“Ah, there you are… ! Fortunately, the…”
He sighed as if he was happy.
After a while, he adjusted his glasses and quickly explained the situation.
“You know Reckd?”
“Yes? Yes. I know.”
He said with a serious face.
“Mr. Reckd’s party… Is on the verge of extinction. Help.”
