Chapter 218 – 218. When the Full Moon Rises (3)
=======================
Ardena received a surprising offer from his master.
Despite the surprise,
It was a most delightful proposal.
Let’s go to see autumn leaves.
Ardena nodded her head without hesitation at the proposal given by the beauty of her pale purple hair. In case Master’s mind would change, she accepted her offer, listening to her words over and over again.
“I’m sorry, I think I was wasting your time.”
“Rather, I am honored. .”
At Master’s cautious question, Ardena shook her head and said,
It was a blissful thing for her to spend time with the people she missed and the people she loved.
Ardena stepped on the rustling leaves as she passed through the forest with colorful leaves in full bloom with her beloved Master. And as she passed through the woods she talked nonstop.
“Would you like to come to see the first fallen leaves this year with Master Lee? Actually, I think he wanted to come with Mr. Gilead….”
“S, Master!”
At her master’s teasing reply, Ardena blushed as if reminiscent of red fallen leaves.
It’s not like she didn’t think of it, of course, but….
But now,
Spending time with Master was also a meaningful enough time. She was sure that the time she was spending together would be a memory she never wanted to forget.
“Ardena, I think it’s fortunate that I met you again.”
“Master….”
As if she was genuinely happy, Ardena inadvertently felt tears welling up in her eyes as she saw Master smiling brightly, not feeling any concern.
I’m glad you’re happy.
I’m glad you have someone precious to you.
The gentleness of her voice in Master’s voice filled her heart.
“I wonder if you can do well without me. Will I be able to move forward with courage? . I was sad every night and worried every moment. Since I broke up with you, I’ve spent a long, long time worrying about you.”
Ardena was not the only one who suffered the grief of parting as if her heart was being torn apart.
El was the same.
Until now, I have lived in a sea of sorrow.
Cared for like her child, she felt guilty for her own selfish actions that made Ardena feel the pain of her separation, and after she left, she wondered if Ardena would be able to move in the right direction. Always worried
“Me too… , I have always missed Master. And I blamed myself every time. I thought Master would have left me because I was below expectations, because I did not meet Master’s expectations.”
Because we were reunited, we were able to talk about the sadness of parting.
After her breakup, she began to talk about her sadness as Ardena also keenly sensed her breakup when she saw Master talking about her feelings.
It was so sad.
Sad, sad, to the point that her head went blank….
And she had to shed tears all day long as the sadness flooded her empty heart again, tearing her heart apart.
“But since Master came to the second place again… , I am just happy.”
Ardena held Master’s hand as they were walking side by side.
L smiled sadly at the warmth he felt from her hand and nodded her head.
I wanted to remember this warmth.
Even if my body disappears and even my soul is crumbled, I wanted to disappear with the warmth felt in my hands. L looked at the colorfully colored leaves and vowed that he would never forget this scenery.
“I am so happy that Master Lee seems to be doing so well. He grew up well I am really proud of you.”
Elle is what she always wanted to be,
During the time of parting, she put the words she wanted to convey to her disciple into her mouth.
It was a kind word. But why? She felt a fear that would disappear any moment, as if she were notified that they might be separated again. Ardena tried to shake her head, erased her fears, and focused on the fun time with her monk.
She muttered as if brainwashing herself that she would never be separated from Master again.

In order for World Subria to set foot in the sanctuary where she stood tall like a pillar of life, the consent of the head priest and the Yetzirah Council was required.
It was like a rule that absolutely had to be followed.
Even if you’re a Demon King Slayer,
Even the hero who saved Liberia’s elves from the evil demon king couldn’t break away from that discipline. In order for her to see the World Tree with her own eyes, she had to get permission to enter the sanctuary from the head of the god and the Council of Yetzirah.
“Of course I’ll let you, but….”
Upon hearing the news from Ardena, Ilayna said that she would allow her to enter the sanctuary if she wanted.
But she wanted to know why.
Why did she suddenly want to enter and leave the Sanctuary, and why did she suddenly become interested in the World Tree?
After receiving a clear answer, it will be possible to decide whether or not to grant access.
“Can you keep a secret?”
Yushin asked.
In response, Ileina nodded her head.
“Sure!”
At the request of the Demon King Slayer to keep the secret, the silver-haired priest’s eyes lit up.
What are you supposed to do in secret?
Ilayna listened to Yushin like a child discussing a prank in a secret base.
“Sir El Cid said something significant to me.”
“A meaningful word?”
Yushin relayed what she had heard from El to Reina.
If she is, maybe she knows her will,
If he did, she wanted to know the meaning of the words.
“A big full moon after a full moon? What do you mean? The full moon is now two days later. And Bria is in full bloom? What kind of nonsense is that?”
Unlike Leticia, who only focused on the day when the full moon rose, Ilayna noticed that there was something strange about the content behind it.
“Bria is a tree that does not flower.”
Isn’t it impossible for a tree that does not bloom to bloom?
Why did El Cid say that?
Ileina, who heard the words left by El from Yushin, also tilted her head while making her question-filled expression.
Maybe I’m not mistaken. For a long time, passing through all over the continent, there was a big problem with her memory…. I know it’s a rude thought, but there were too many parts of El’s words that didn’t fit her common sense.
“Aren’t the flowers blooming?”
“Not all trees bloom. Until now, she has often visited the sanctuary to see the World Tree, but she has never seen it bloom.”
Ileina’s words didn’t clear Yushin’s doubts, but rather amplified them.
The full moon that rises after the full moon,
It is said that the world tree is in full bloom,
It remained a labyrinth without solving anything.
“Have you talked to the Ardena warrior commander?”
“I didn’t say anything at first.”
“Hmm, yes… ?”
In response to Yushin’s answer, Ileina, as if conscious of something, crossed her arms and smiled meaningfully.
Secret sharing with the Demon King Slayer.
She seemed to have taken that into consideration.
“I’ll find out too. Don’t worry, this is part of repaying the favor.”
“Thank you.”
“Of course it has to be done! What do humans say about this…. Oh yeah! You’re welcome, I said!”
Seeing Ileina speak in her confident voice while smiling like a bell flower, Yushin responded with a smile.
“First of all, I have a question….”
Ilaina, who was showing off a friendly look, suddenly made a shy expression and scratched her cheek shyly.
“Are we friends?”
What is this nonsensical question?
When Il Reina asked if they were friends right away, Yoo Shin couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
Do you ever need a friend
Even so, there is a high elf girl who is living a strange life without a single friend. Both of them were small kids, so it seemed like they would get along very well.
“Why do you need a friend?”
At the question of her restoration, Ileina nodded her head, recalling the bright red blush on her cheeks.
“It’s just, what…. I hope we can continue to have a good relationship in the future. You know, it was the worst from the first meeting with her, right? There are things I’m sorry for, and there are things I’m thankful for. We’ll be seeing each other often, so wouldn’t it be a bad idea to make sure the relationship is clear? Of course, you can decline if you don’t like it. It’s not like I’m giving orders.”
It’s a request with a lot of reasons. It made me feel like I’d be a bad guy if I didn’t accept his friend request.
She was very talented with words.
She is, after all, a politician who is in charge of the politics of the Liberia elves.
Yushin decided to accept her request without hesitation. It would be helpful in many ways for her to become acquainted with Director Shin, the supreme leader of the Liberia Elf Country. And she had no reason to refuse.
“You are the first person to ask me to be your friend first.”
“Really? Yushin must have been popular.”
Ilaina made a surprised expression.
It seems very unexpected
She said, “I think if Yushin had a lot of friends in the other world, too.” Said.
There was no malice in the words, but they were full of goodwill, but when Yushin heard Ileina’s words, her whole body trembled like an aspen tree like a PTSD patient. Perhaps she was thinking of her gloomy school days, the trembling in her eyes seemed unusual.
