Chapter 240 – Heroine Popularity Vote Winner: Linea
“Are you ready?”
Turning her head at her caring voice Her, Linea looked at Senia, who was neatly dressed in a dress-like formal attire. Red eyes with blue hair that grew to her waist. Like Linea, she was an elf who was born in the World Tree and served as a great priest before becoming a guardian deity.
Although revered as the ‘most noble person’ in the Great Forest and revered as sacred, Linea, who had spent quite a long time with Senia, couldn’t trust the rumors of the public. Senia, whom she had seen and experienced in person, had a somewhat blunt side, boasted a lot, and was even clumsy.
However, she was kind enough to be kind to everyone, learned enough to know no magic, and her maternal love for her was deep enough that she considered herself as her own daughter.
Maybe that’s why Linea liked Senia. The reason she practiced her magic every single day was because she wanted to be praised by Senia. She was like that now too.
“Yes. I’m ready. I’ll start right away.”
Linea, nodding her head in her confidence her, turns her gaze to the front of her. She sees a large lake surrounded by deep greenery. Nearby, some of her deer were drinking and drinking.
“Whoa…….”
This is her seventh challenge her. Taking a deep breath, Linea focused her mind and glared at the center of her lake. There was a difference in her sharp narrowed eyes.
Whoa-
The wind gusts and ripples begin to stir in the lake. The deer who were drinking water raised their heads in surprise, and some birds perched on the branches felt something strange and flapped their wings.
The rippling lake soon creates rough waves as if an earthquake occurred. In the space where her deer had fled and birds flapped their wings, Linea slowly raised her right hand up as if the time had come.
Then the water in the center of the lake gushes upward. The gushing water was condensed into a circular shape, and then transformed into the shape of a dragon according to Linea’s will her. Scales, horns, eyes and claws are detailed, and the dragon flaps its wings like a living creature.
“Linea!”
Linea, nodding her head at her Senia’s cry her, threw her hand up at her surprise her. At the same time, the water dragon roared and flew high into the sky. The dragon floated in the sky and began to fly freely following Linea’s gesture her.
“This…….”
A smile spreads across Senia’s lips to her. Because Linea was handling her own mana her almost perfectly. The dragon, which was swimming proudly in the sky, descended toward the lake when Linea took her hand her. A dragon descending at breakneck speed toward the lake crashes into the water.
Paaang—!
Huge splashes of water soared and shockwaves spread in all directions.
“Ugh…… !”
Just after a strong wind passed by that made my legs stagger. It started raining all over the area due to the influence of the spray. Senia, who had been dazed for a moment in the rain of her beads, looked at Linea with a mischievous laugh.
“Haha…….”
He was sweating, but he didn’t look tired. It was because the fact that she had finally succeeded gave her a sense of overwhelming joy. Linea, who had been walking in the rain with her eyes shining, looked back at Senia with her excitement still on her face her.
“Master! I-I succeeded!”
Seeing the happy face of Linea makes her feel better. Senia smiled and patted her Lynea’s head.
“Thank you for your effort. Having succeeded in seven attempts, it seems that Linea’s magical talent is superior to mine.”
“Ehehe……. It’s overrated. I still have a lot to learn-“
“No.”
Senia lifted her hand with her smile.
“Now I have no magic to teach Linea. The magic that Linea just used is the last personality magic I developed. From now on, Linea has to research and develop magic on her own.”
“Ah. Is that so…”
Accepting the truth, Linea’s complexion sank low. I thought she would be happy if I told her that the teaching was over, but she was rather disappointed, so it was difficult for Senia. Senia, who was a bit shy, said that she had just remembered something, and she grabbed Linea’s hand her.
“Come to think of it, there is one last magic left to tell you. Would you like to come to class?”
Linea nodded her head as if it were natural. Then Senia took her Lynea by the hand and walked to the overhanging root of a tree near her. As she settles down on her roots, Linea follows along beside her.
“Linea. I heard from her elders that Linea is very interested in her human world. Am I right?”
“Yes! I want to leave the Great Forest and travel.”
“Whoops. Looking at those eyes, I don’t think it’ll work just because I dry them. Like. If so, I will teach you a forbidden magic for Linea.”
What is forbidden magic? Linea looked at her curiously with her eyes wide open, but Senia didn’t care. Raising her right hand, Senia stretched out her index finger and began drawing her magic spells in the air.
“To put it simply, this magic is magic that puts a curse on oneself. That’s why it’s classified as a taboo magic. So shouldn’t I tell the Elder that I taught him?”
“Yes? Ah……. That, but why use the magic to curse yourself…….”
Why are you telling yourself that? As Linea looked up, feeling her strange doubt and fear, she smiled her eyes as if Senia was cute.
“Perhaps. Really, she might find someone she loves outside her Great Forest her.”
Thanks to her diligently moving fingers her, her magic spells her gradually form a proper framework.
“We live close to a thousand years, but weak humans only live a hundred years. So when we love people, it is no different than accepting the promised tragedy.”
Senia’s eyes her, as she draws her spell, are pensive.
“So I regret leaving the great forest and going to the human world without learning this magic. If she had known such magic existed, she would have closed her eyes with him. She wouldn’t have to shed tears every time she was in his ki…… I do.”
Senia feels faint sadness in her smile. Senia, who drew her last circuit, confirmed that her spell her had been completed and put her hand down. A blue magic circle floating in the air formed on Linea’s retina her.
“The use of this magic is simple. Just place her hand her in front of her chest her where her heart her is located, gather mana into her fingertips her and project it into her body her. Then, think of the face of the person you love as an image, and engrave the spell you see in front of her right now into your heart her, and it will be over.”
“…… What will happen then?”
“When the person you love closes her eyes to her, she can close them with you. She will be able to rest in eternity.”
Young Linea involuntarily frowned at her. She only vaguely knows love as a word meaning, but she never experienced it firsthand, because her Senia’s words her sounded like an idiot.
“I don’t know. No matter how much I love someone, I don’t understand why they want to die together.”
“That’s because Linea has n’t made love to her yet, so she is. When she meets someone she truly loves, she will probably appreciate me.”
“You won’t thank me. Risking your life for someone you love is no different from mental illness. And, I’m not stupid enough to fall in love with a short-lived human.”
“Is that so.”
Looking at the grunting Linea, he reminds me of the she of the past. He didn’t express himself outwardly at that time, but she was denying the feeling of love.
However, after wandering in the human world for a long time, he met a good person, and he felt that the feeling of liking for a good person gradually turned into love.
When she came to her senses her, she realized that she was truly in love with her. I dare not fathom how much sorrow filled his heart her when he died.
Of course, there was no way the current Linea would know that.
“Then I don’t think there’s any need to use Linea. I think I taught you something.”
As she let out a deep sigh, Linea stumbled upon her restless face her. She was terrified that she had hurt Senia, whom she liked. As she watched it with pleasure, she muttered Linea in her crawling voice.
“By the way… What is your name?”
She knew how to ask. Senia, with her little giggling, raised her hand and tucked her rain-soaked linea’s bangs behind her ear.
“I do not know. It is an ancient magic and there are no data on it, so it is unknown who invented it or how it was invented. The same goes for magic names.”
I don’t know who created this magic, but I could understand the heart. Because it was a great blessing to close your eyes with someone you love. It was a happy curse that allowed an elf, a long-lived species, to share equal love with a human, a short-lived species.
“So I decided to give it a new name.”
Linea baring her forehead her is cute. Senia, who had a thin smile on her face her, patted Linea’s hair and murmured kindly.
“The end of fate. This is the name of this magic from now on.”
They defy their destiny and meet a happy end. So, there could be no name more appropriate for this magic. Lynea, who pricked up her ears, involuntarily repeated Senia’s words to her.
“The end of fate…….”
I’m not sure why, but she didn’t sound bad for some reason.
*
My eyes slowly open. Linea, who blinked blankly, rubbed her eyes at the familiar scenery.
“Dream…”
After she married Theo Rad, she stopped having nightmares, but occasionally these old events would come back in the form of dreams. Should she go to her Great Forest to see Senia soon? As she is thinking about this or that, a rustle is heard from the seat next to her.
She turned her head to her side her, wanting to do something about her, and saw Theo Rad looking down at her with her body her turned sideways. Dressed well in her family’s attire, she looked at herself with her deep eyes, and she felt ashamed of something.
“Why why…?”
“It seems like I slept for a long time today. I was waiting by her side of her, wondering if she was having a nightmare.”
“I didn’t sleep. Only have happy dreams these days.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Theorard touches Linea’s cheek with a smile. Her touch was kind and pleasant, and Linea unknowingly burrowed into Theo Rad’s arms like a puppy. She stretched out her hand and hugged her Theo Rad’s waist, rubbing her face against her chest her.
“Linea…….”
You’re being overly cute today. Still, she didn’t hate it that much. Theo Rad smiles at her and strokes the back of her head her, Linea.
In the quiet bedroom where the chirping of birds could be heard outside the window, Linea whispered in Theorad’s arms.
“Theorard. Live long Then I will live a long time.”
An incomprehensible sound makes you laugh.
“Okay. You will live a long time, so don’t worry.”
“Yes…”
Linea answered quietly and closed her eyes, intoxicated with the warmth. She knows it’s immature to hold on to Theo Rad, who has to go to work, but she just wants to stay like this a little longer.
