Chapter 201 – Past: Adela (3)
I became quite close with Adela.
She is Adela from the future, and Midella for short asked me to be friends with her as much as possible.
─Take good care of me, please.
——Even if you don’t say it.
─The word “Take good care of” Doesn’t filter. Then ■■■… ,
-What are you talking about?
Like this.
They seem to be getting along pretty well in the future, so the words to take care of them won’t be filtered out, of course.
What the hell did you say
When she asked, “I don’t need to know,” She laughed and walked away.
– Where are you going?
─I’m going to see Sister Leticia~.
What, really
Do you really like Leticia?
When she asked just in case, she smiled strangely again this time and only replied, “Well?”
What.
She probably isn’t the type to hide what she doesn’t like.
“… Brother?”
“… Ah.”
Have you been thinking about something else for too long? Adela, who had been talking kindly—not Midela, but now Adela— looked up at me cautiously.
“Sorry.”
“Ugh. No. I was talking too much to myself…”
“No. I just had a lot to think about. It’s not your fault.”
Adela frowns. She stroked Adela’s white hair, and she comforted him with a shy smile.
“But, a child like me might not be at the right level of conversation with you…”
Usually young children don’t worry about that in the first place. At this point, she did get glimpses from Adela that she was more of a grown-up than her peers.
Than that
“Why is there a level that is right and not right when it comes to conversation? There is even a saying that if there are three of you, you can learn anything from one of them——”
“Brother is old…”
…
“What?”
“I heard that there is a generation gap. Even with a five-year age difference, there are times when the conversation doesn’t match… The brother and the girl…”
“Stop.”
“Ah, yes.”
In fact, I do not believe that there is no level difference in conversation. In this world where magic and dragons live and breathe in a class society, how can there be no difference between an unlearned slum dweller and a human who has been on an elite course since childhood?
However, it was just a word that I came out with the intention of appeasing Adela.
It was.
“… Okay. So what was she talking about?”
“Oh, oh, that’s what I mean. It’s a story from when I was young, in the Holy Kingdom…”
A little boy about 10 years old talking about his childhood.
Is this, you just turned me into work and you’re mad? A little boy…
… That’s not going to happen.
Anyway, recently we were like this.
*
“Good for you. Please stay close to us from now on.”
“Okay. Even if you don’t say it.”
“Hmm.”
Midella nodded her head. After Adela fell asleep, when she awoke, she came into my room quite naturally, and it was her routine to discuss sex magic with me.
“It’s better to do this part like this…”
“Adela.”
“… Yes? Something, all of a sudden.”
“Does this mean anything? Sexual magic doesn’t require a lot of sophistication.”
Suddenly she cut off her words, and she shut her mouth for a moment.
“It is true. It doesn’t mean anything, though.”
“I see.”
“Yes. … Hey. Are you just done with that?”
“What.”
“No, didn’t you ask because you had something on your mind? Then you should listen to my answer and give me something else.”
“That’s right, I said.”
“… Are you kidding me now?”
I also write half words.
“Nothing. … There must be a reason, I understand.”
“… Yes, it was. The duke was such a person, indeed. A clogged old man who cannot communicate.”
This guy
Words are harsh. In fact, I wondered if he had any grudge against me.
Not that old There is a saying that a person’s age follows the outside.
If that’s the case, at most, I’d only look in my early twenties.
“I don’t trust people, I have a lot of doubts, and if I’m a little wrong, I’ll kill everyone…”
“…”
“In the meantime, if you give your heart once, the bean pods will get stuck and will forgive you no matter what you do…”
“For a moment.”
“What.”
“The people I gave my heart to didn’t do anything wrong, so I have nothing to do but forgive them.”
“… Whew.”
Midela said, “I guess so… ‘ She shook her head with a look that seemed to say.
What is it It’s annoying. Do I need to feed them honey chestnuts?
“Seeing that, I immediately kongkak—— Ah! What are you doing?!”
“I fed honey chestnuts to the cheeky little boy.”
“Keugh… ! Even with this body, I am a lady, lady!”
“A kid who wasn’t even over twenty at most.”
“What a frame—— Kyaaaaa! Wow! Hit me again! How dare you cut off the saintess’s head… !”
“You said something you shouldn’t have said.”
“What a keut! After all, the you of the future is much, much, a thousand times better!”
What a childish quarrel.
After arguing for a while, I came to the realization that, objectively, I might look much uglier on my older side.
“…”
“Huh? Why do you stop talking? Did you finally realize how ugly you looked!”
Still, I’m sorry.
“… Get your fist down! They say there’s nowhere to hit this young body’s head, but again and again! Are you a psychopath?!”
Anyway. If it was the way she got acquainted with the current Adela step by step, she had no subtle distance from Midella, so she was living like a long-time close friend.
And the time I spent with Midela like that may have remained in Adela’s unconscious, but as each day passed, Adela began to treat me more and more comfortably.
“Here, brother.”
“That, over there.”
“… Is it okay if I call you Duke?”
To be honest, I don’t even call her Scarlett, I just call her duke instead of brother, but I don’t know what makes her so nervous.
At any rate, Adela must have been very courageous.
Maybe it’s because he’s a precocious kid, so I tend to pay close attention.
There was nothing impossible, she said.
“Go, thank you!”
“What.”
With something like this
Through the development of a small relationship in this way, when the day came for Adela to return to her holy country, she even had Adela timidly hold on to her sleeve.
“… Are you coming?”
“Okay.”
“… When?”
“Before this month is over.”
“… Is it late.”
If it was Midela, “Why are you procrastinating because you are busy? Just come right tomorrow,” She might have done.
… No, that would be a guess. Because he knows that I’m pretty busy. It’s just the usual image.
“Then don’t move.”
“Yes. Then see you next week!”
I’m excited.
*
Quite a bit of time has passed. When Adela first came from the future and told her about 4 years, she said it would take a long time.
It was sooner than I thought.
I guess it’s because I’m busy. With so much to do, time passed quickly.
“Soon.”
“Soon.”
This place, facing Adela, is a sacred place only allowed to her saintess, 〈 The spring where light first falls 〉.
This 〈 spring 〉 is a sacred place that exists in the Holy Land, just like the 〈 garden 〉 exists in the imperial family.
Here we are waiting for Adela’s 〈 Pick 〉.
Although it can be seen as a half-life because she has not reached adulthood, once she has become a saint, she is on a different level from now when she was just a candidate.
And the place is also a sacred place full of divine power.
Once Adela was chosen 〈 〉, she immediately after, she picked this spot in order to hear the voice of the goddess.
“Originally, at the moment of 〈 selection 〉, it was only natural to be here.”
“Is it.”
“… But what if I can’t get 〈 Gantaek 〉?”
“There is no such thing as that.”
“… Eww.”
“I met you because it was the guidance of the goddess.”
“… That’s right. I had some doubts. To think that the person who would become a saint doubts the will of the goddess.”
Adela recites her reflections and draws a small sign of her name.
And.
───Down!
There was light
*
In the beginning, there were twin goddesses who were two and one, and one and two.
The two creators were bored. Because the sisters were so great, the world they created, their creations, did not even recognize the existence of the great sisters.
So, the sisters let go of their ‘personality’ and chose to come down into the world of mere creatures.
One became the sun,
One became the moon.
Among them, in particular, although they are twins, ‘Moon’, who was on the younger side, completely assimilated into the world, throwing away even the opportunity to regain their status at any time.
Still, in order to prepare for an unexpected situation, only ‘Taeyang’, who had a somewhat indecisive personality and did not like to step out, did not throw away the ‘key’.
─ I also want to put everything down and play with the children like her younger brother…
Taeyang was envious of his younger brother who let go of his responsibilities and approached the creatures on earth and handed out gifts one after another to gain praise.
─Sister, sister! Look at this These are my blessed children!
Jinjo.
The goddess of the moon, her younger sister, who came to be called ‘Luna’, devoted all her essence to her creation.
Luna showed her true ancestry to ‘Taeyang’ and boasted of how lovable and affectionate he is.
—… Me too.
─Yes! Would you like to do it too?
─That’s all.
But the sun hesitated. Even if you throw away the ‘key’, you will be irreversible someday.
—Ah, my child!
Jinjo returned to her nature. Even though it is an ancestor with an infinite lifespan, it has been mentally worn out by spending too long.
—…
Luna cried.
And ‘Taeyang’ also felt lonely. Just as Luna regarded Jinjo as a child, Jinjo was like a nephew to Taeyang.
To the two creator gods who were born as omnipotent beings, a ‘parting’ came so suddenly and left unforgettable scars.
—… It’s because you gave me so much affection.
‘Sun’ evaluated Luna and the reason she was so sad.
So, the sun decided to interfere less than Luna, only very slightly.
It was a being with such great power that it was enough to bring about a change in the world the sisters had put their heart and soul into.
─Sister! What did you make of it?
—That, the hero…
─It’s not just that!
—Ah, everyone fights so much…
That’s how the ‘Hero’ and the ‘Arcadia Imperial Family’ appeared on the continent.
From then on, the ‘sun’ began to be called by the name ‘Mithra’.

‘… This?’
