Chapter 130 – Enough (4)
-Smart smart.
Russ abruptly rose from her seat at the unfamiliar sound.
Lately she’s just been waiting.
A place to give from when Starchis kicked him out asking for time.
Russ doesn’t have many friends.
It is safe to say that Barefoot party members are all.
Lily… She didn’t seem to come looking for herself.
Bien, who said she decided to become a saint, would be busy,
Starchis was the only one she would come to.
I was half anxious.
She was awaiting his sentencing his.
If he decides to disband the party through long consideration,
She seemed irreversible.
She walks towards the door
Her memories of him seemed to pass by like a kaleidoscope.
When the long but short reminiscence is over,
Her hand was on the doorknob.
She Swallows her saliva and she opens her door.
– Kik.
“…Uh?”
But surprisingly, standing in front of
It was Bien.
It hadn’t been long since she had heard that she had decided to marry her saint her.
Her choice made Russ more anxious.
If Bien leaves, Barefoot will collapse.
She wanted to stop her, but Bien was adamant of her.
With her blank, emotionless face and dull eyes, she said that she had made up her mind to be her saint her, and that she had to do penance. She didn’t listen to Russ.
He didn’t show any emotion on his face her, but
It was clear that she had made a tough choice.
She was so unbreakable, wearing white saint’s clothes,
She appeared again she was dressed in black and in tears.
“..Rus..Russ..”
Crying Bien cries a lot,
Tick-tick stinging Bien every time that happens, she tries to hold back her tears.
It is Bien who bites her lip and cries with her head bowed.
But now it was different.
Her eyes twinkle with hope, she says with a wavering smile on her lips.
She didn’t hide or wipe her tears.
It seemed he couldn’t afford it.
“We…! I don’t even have to wake up the party…!”
“…What?”
Russ doubts her ears.
Her bien was embraced by her.
It was the first time Bien had been brought up.
It just showed how happy she was.
“Starches…! Starches!! Ugh…!”
Bienne said, hugging Russ as hard as she could.
She was different from the last time I saw Bien.
It was as if someone who had been dead had come to life.
“B..B.N..! Speak slowly..!”
Her joy her began to spread.
When Vien took off her saintess’s attire, she had no other reason to be so happy.
She’ll have a hard time believing it until the words come out of her mouth her,
She was starting to feel hopeless.
“I think Starchis forgave us..! In the future… Let’s stay together! Aaaaang!”
Having told her all her, Bien burst into tears.
She couldn’t speak anymore and she wept incessantly.
Russ too… Tears started to fall one by one.
****
Stachis, who had been struggling to soothe the crying Lily with her hands covering her face, did not stop.
He was walking towards a mansion.
We decided to make choices that would make everyone happy.
With the goal of not living like my father
When you change your perspective, you see many things.
Aim not to act like that,
He changed it to the goal of not sowing misfortune like that.
You make choices that may be selfish.
But it didn’t matter.
I became happy with just a few choices.
Seeing Vienne and Lily shed tears of joy warmed her heart.
Since Bienne is going to visit Russ,
She may have liked Russ as well.
When that happens, the last person remains.
It has been of great help in all situations,
Rose Nisty, whose freedom is oppressed because of it.
Hian has a debt in his heart.
From lending vampire blood,
Until I heard the story about his family history, I had built up a lot of affection.
Unknowingly, Starchis admired him.
So he intended to keep his will.
If you break up the party this time, go find him.
Now that he’s disbanded, he tried to ask for understanding even if he gets close with Rose.
But this is enough.
The party will not disband.
However, he will not abandon Rose either.
In the end, everyone will be happy.
Starchis stops him.
The guard standing in front watched Stachis closely.
The Nisty Mansion stood behind it.
“Tell Count Nisty that Starchis has arrived.”
Starches said.
****
“It’s been a while, Starchis.”
When Stachis entered the room, Hian was already seated.
Is it because of his appearance of his, or is it because he has a lot of worries,
His face his seemed emaciated.
“Yes, it’s been a while.”
“I heard something dangerous happened, are you okay?”
First of all, Hian asked how he was doing.
Starchis answers by pulling out a chair next to him.
“Yes. I survived again.”
“Again…”
Hian closes his eyes.
“…I’m sure you received the letter, Stachis.”
To others, it may seem that Hian is suppressing his anger.
It may seem like a warning not to forget his own requests of his.
There was a certain sense of intimidation in the way he closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
But Starchis looked different.
For some reason, it felt like he was closing his eyes because he was sorry to see him face to face.
“…Received.”
“Okay. Again… Keep your distance from my daughter.”
“…That’s what you mean.”
Starchis also closes his eyes.
He took a deep breath and looked back at Hian.
Hian opened his eyes just like him, and they were looking at each other.
“It seems difficult.”
“…What?”
“Sorry.”
Hian frowned.
It was seen that both hands were exerting power.
Starchis expected him to wake up in a fit of rage.
But instead,
Let out a big sigh.
Then he shook his head weakly and said.
“… Your money.”
“Yes?”
A helpless old man appears in front.
It was an expression that let go of many things.
“…Rose got mad at me a few days ago. He told me to stop interfering in his life.”
“…”
“Fortresses often look like that. My daughter seems to be changing too. She used to be such a good listener. Of course… It must be natural to react like this.”
“…”
“…But still, Stachis. Am I wrong…? Was the father wrong in wanting to stop her daughter from following a young man with an uncertain future?”
“…”
“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that she doesn’t trust you. Uncertainty is what I say because of the nature of my job. I just heard that you are in danger. How can I not be worried?”
“…It’s a natural concern.”
“It is a natural concern. Enough for you to understand. That’s why it’s hard to understand what you’re saying right now.”
Starches knew it too.
Originally, he also tried to come up with a reason to convince Hian.
That the party will be disbanded.
Now that I don’t have that card, I have nothing to say.
I can’t talk about common sense already.
I don’t think so.
His whole nerve His is on the choice to be happy.
Rose had to be by her side for that to happen.
Abandoned Rose didn’t want to imagine her mourning her.
“If I give up … I can see Rose who will be sad.”
Hian stared at Stachis,
He breaks his stiff expression and smiles.
Starchis didn’t know what kind of laughter it was.
“…I’m sorry…Rose must be sad.”
Still, Starchis didn’t come without thinking.
He also came here to organize his words of her.
If Hian is still firm when the words are spoken,
I’ll have to come back with another word next time, but
For now, make the best promises you can.
“… Count Nisty. I know, really. You are worried.”
“…”
“… Do you have any wounds, I understand if Rose has not had the same experience she wishes she did.”
“…”
“But I promise you. I will never die.”
“…How can I believe that.”
Stachis pulls the chair towards Heian.
Looking him straight in the eyes from a closer distance, he said.
“…A lot happened. Do you remember my dream?”
“Every time I remember. Didn’t you say you were following your brother? I want to become an A-class like him.”
“You remember.”
“Okay. So you can see how big the obstacle ahead is. Class A… You will have to risk your life to take on the challenge, how can you be sure you won’t die?”
“…I gave up my A-rank dream.”
“…”
“Because I can’t think of a reason to follow my brother anymore. I plan to be satisfied with B-class.”
“My dream has changed…”
“Yes. In the future, I plan to reduce the challenge. Safe requests only. I only want to do things that can be solved.”
“…But still-“
“-Count, actually our party has a record of subjugating Class A monsters. Maybe a few days ago, the monster was also A rank. In other words…If we had waited for time, the party itself would have been more likely to go up to A rank.”
“…”
“Did you know that a saintess appeared at our party?”
“…A saintess?”
“Yes. If only she had had a sainthood ceremony… She would have become an official saintess. She is at our party too.”
“…”
“In terms of stability, it is different from other parties. I have enough skills, and my party members are strong.”
Stachis, in fact, deceived himself even as he spoke.
No matter how stable the party is, everything matters in the face of death.
He still has to be nervous every time he enters a dungeon, and the line of sight may appear in front of him several times.
But he couldn’t say anything like that.
Now, he had to tell himself what he believed.
In a way, it could be seen that he was telling a lie that he couldn’t have.
The ability to lie that you have improved by saying you have a girlfriend
Like this, I am writing with the aspiration that I will not die.
“…”
It was clearly revealed that Hian was more worried than usual.
Now he didn’t even hide it from Starchis.
From his point of view his, he was blocking both men and women.
No matter how much Rose cried and begged, he had to cover his ears her.
So that wasn’t easy.
I pretended not to hear, but I heard everything.
I pretended not to be looking, but I was seeing everything.
In the end, he finds it difficult to see Rose’s pain in her.
He asked for a break and said he needed time.
Stachis continues.
Even his words
As Rose’s words came along, he was shaking himself.
“The Count… And you know my brother.”
“… ?”
“The King of Survival, Stion. I am that person’s brother. I am not dying.”
“..Haha.”
Hian starts to laugh.
Haha, ahaha…Yes, I did.”
Stachis was not finished talking.
It might be crossing the line, but I wanted to let Hian know.
“…Rose…Showed a lot of hardships.”
“Haha…I know best..”
Guilt appears on Hian’s smiling face.
“I will make Rose laugh. So… Even if we become close in the future, I hope you will understand.”
“…”
Hian blinked her eyes slowly.
The wrinkled eyes of her were looking at something in her.
After a while, he speaks slowly.
“…Okay. I forgot that love was like this.”
“…”
“That Rose was so angry. Losing and forgetting her wife and her… It’s love that makes her do crazy things.”
Hian looks at Stachis.
A smile begins to appear on his face.
“…Is it time to let go of my greed?”
It was like when Starchis made the decision not to disband the party.
He gave up on something, but he seemed relieved.
“Starchis, don’t die.”
He says.
The decision Heian would make was too prominent.
“Absolutely.”
Stachis replied.
“…You shine. Ana?”
Hian stood up and said.
“From now on, my daughter… Please take good care of me.”
