Chapter 53 – Ep.3 – Arwen (4)
If you ask me if I’m kind, my close friends would say, ‘That bastard is such a bad bastard!’
Other adults just make a formal comment, ‘Oh, that’s it? He’s a good student. Yes~ I listen very well~’.
Delrin was such a man. Of course, many people around them live with the same evaluation as Delrin.
So, I think the word ordinary would be more appropriate for him than the word nice.
He is an ordinary guy
After Delrin was summoned to another world, he was busy worrying about his own safety and made all sorts of mistakes.
His stupid and stupid brain must have a lot of stake in all those mistakes.
However, if that’s the case, if you ask me if I chose to do only the bad things, maybe we should shake our heads.
In the process of struggling to live, he made really frustrating and stupid decisions, but I think there is probably no one who would call him a bad scumbag. I don’t know if I’m calling it stupid.
All human beings worry about their own safety first.
When they find themselves in a situation where even their basic right to live and their needs are not properly met, their lives are endlessly impoverished, and their minds are shattered accordingly.
The weakened mind puts off consideration and sacrifice for others for a while and makes them think about their own survival.
And, we don’t describe it as ‘bad’.
Of course, in such a barren situation, if you poke someone’s stomach and eat the meat, you will be criticized by everyone.
A tired office worker sneakily closes his eyes without giving up his subway seat to a middle-aged woman in front of him,
The arrow of criticism does not go back to a student who is late for school and tries to catch a bus even by jaywalking.
Someone might define even that as an evil act, but ordinary people eventually make mistakes from time to time in their daily lives.
Delrin wanted to survive.
So she tried to run away from Phil Mark,
She tried to escape on Neva’s bed,
She had closed her eyes even when she saw Arwen being dragged away.
It wasn’t that strange. She felt sorry for the men who would be dragged from the hideout of the Philmarck bandits for a while, but in the end, she herself would be treated better, so she tried hard to close her eyes.
Of course, she had some bad memories of her young-looking boy, and she was angry with Chi-Chi.
The infinitely small and weak aspects of her self in her original world.
Days when she was only told that she was small, fragile, and cute, and that she suited women more than men.
Her mother bought her a dress for her fifth birthday, saying she thought it would look good on her.
Her friends made her sing a song to appeal to her cuteness in front of the stage at the talent show during the retreat or school trip.
The times of the day when I was always led by girls’ hands to take care of my hair and rub my cheeks to my heart’s content…
Those times seemed to come to mind when I saw Arwen’s face.
So, it seems that for a moment she couldn’t hold back her anger and rebelled against Chi Chi.
She, of course, was soon overpowered by her and allowed a boy named Arwen, who looked so much like her old self, to leave, but he still thought he had done his best.
She doesn’t even have the strength to help, but if she goes out for nothing, she won’t be in trouble even herself.
It was a reasonable decision, and there was no choice.
I just shouted save because of the slightest bit of guilt.
It was a point where I couldn’t save or load properly anyway,
When it’s time for her chichi to come back, she just wanted to avoid the punishment she was going to inflict on her by putting her load back on, he thought.
She would be lying if she asked if she hadn’t cared for the boy who left without knowing why, but Delrin believed otherwise and shouted save.
Buying a little more time like this and practicing endlessly…
Praying that one day he will become stronger and be free from Chichi, Neva and Philmarck.
He thought he had a very smart save point.
It’s free time you can spend alone, and no one is watching you.
A time when you can come back right away and put other plans into practice.
It was never because Arwen cared about it.
He thought so
While he thought so, he meditated hard, hoping that he would quickly awaken and become a master of magic.
In the days that have now disappeared,
Delrin hit the ground and burst into tears.
Now I can tell you what to do with those things that not everyone will remember,
As much as Delrin, I saw a figure that will never be forgotten in her mind. Have to say
“Bro bro?”
But soon Delrin opens her eyes.
What came right into his field of vision was Arwen, who was looking down at him with a red-hot face, as if he had been crying all along,
“…”
The image of Chichi sitting on a chair with a considerable distance and looking at Delrin and Arwen.
And, the empty interior of Chichi’s house,
One large, bloated bag.
“..Nothing was wrong, right?”
The first thing Delrin did after embracing her vanished past was to worry about Arwen’s safety.
“Yes I’m okay…”
The conversation between the two does not continue.
Instead, Chi-Chi’s hushed voice fills the space between the sad conversation.
“I’ll be leaving soon. Get ready.”
Seeing Chee-Chi with a large bag and her outdoor outfit, Delrin realizes what has happened.
[Exile]
“I can’t be here any longer.”
Chichi lifted the bag with blue mana and went out the door.
Her friends who were jealous of her talent and ability, her archwitch and her elders who perceived her as a threat to her,
Even her disciples who were disappointed in her…
I no longer let her live in her witch city of Raftel.
Those who truly believed in her ability were too few in number and could not easily oppose popular opinion,
Chi-Chi’s banishment was swift and sentenced the very same night that Delrin was savagely beaten. Originally, there was even talk of the death penalty, but considering her contributions, she ended up in the deportation line, so there was nothing to refute.
Greatest genius.
Chosen Witch.
A living legend who is evaluated as the most outstanding witch since the establishment of Raftel.
A woman who was even allowed the nickname [Magnity], Which means great witch.
Chichi was banished from Raftel and lost her name.
Losing both her own life goals and her will in an instant, she just clutches at her broom in a sullen state.
“Ha…”
The moon is bright.
Today, the exceptionally blue moon seems to be crying instead for Chichi.
Her blue tears for those who don’t know her tears well.
“…”
Chichi in the emptiness and confusion,
I just stared at the moon like that.
“…Miss Chichi.”
It was again Delrin who caught her gaze.
Whenever he’s looking at that blue moon, he always catches Chi-Chi’s eyes.
“Take me.”
Delrin, with restrained emotions, in a slightly cold voice,
She said in a voice a little colder than the moonlight.
“Take him first.”
After dragging the boy in front of him, he said firmly to Chi-Chi.
“…”
Chichi looked at Delrin.
A number of questions came up right behind her mouth, but
“Okay…”
She eventually swallowed all of her questions, and bowed her head and obeyed him.
The very night that one of Raftel’s great stars disappeared.
In her vanished timeline, that night Delrin sees Arwen hanging from a tree with her own eyes.
The three [Humans] Flew through the sky and headed for a small, secluded rural village.
Of course, the village where the precious boy was lost was filled with tears and anger to the extent that the expression secluded would not be appropriate.
Seeing Arwen come back to them again, she soon regained her true form.
“Thank you. Thank you so much! I really don’t know how to repay this grace…”
Arwen’s parents bow very flat in front of Chichi and Delrin, trying to somehow make amends for bringing their precious son.
Delrin just shook her head a few times and smiled a little sadly,
Arwen and her eye level,
She left without saying a few words.
“Euril and Ersha, take good care of them.”
Hearing this, Arwen wondered for a moment when she had told her sister’s name.
She soon nodded her head with her bright smile.
“All right!”
In her lifeless eyes and voice that was not filled with despair, as seen in her disappearing timeline, but in a dignified voice,
Delrin nodded her head and she gave him a hug.
—————————————-
Until Arwen hangs her 5 hours 32 minutes ago.
Inside the alley of the entertainment district.
“That bastard, right?”
“I guess that’s right. This time I saw it too.”
4 hours and 14 minutes ago.
“Now. So what are you going to do?”
“Ha, surrender! Surrender! Please save your life…!”
“Yeah. Okay. I’ve been waiting for that word.”
Neva gives up her seat to Philmarck.
This time, Philmarck climbed on the back of the fallen witch and put his hand in her mouth.
“Now. If you don’t drink it all at once and spill a little… You know what will happen?”
The witch desperately nods her head. She doesn’t want to die
“Couldn’t you be a bit more hurried? In time for that conversation…”
“Ah, little! Anyway, you’re being dirty and tight. Tell me how many times you have to put a comment like this so that the kids will listen properly!”
“No, maybe you can comment…! That’s absurd. I don’t understand.”
“Okay. I don’t even want you to understand. Okay. This time for real…”
3 hours and 59 minutes ago.
“No fuck… What kind of broom is so narrow! Anyway, witches don’t understand!”
“They won’t expect your understanding either. Ride quietly.”
“This is real!”
38 minutes ago.
“Okay. Let’s make a proper plan from here on out. You’re in charge of the disturbance, and I secretly find Delrin and get him out…”
“No! You can’t! You could take Delrin’s hand and run away!”
“You idiot, you can’t hide properly! Anyway, you’re getting dull…”
“It’s dull…? Cancel that statement! Now!”
1 minute ago.
“Looks like it’s not there.”
“Be quiet!”
Philmarck’s eyes carefully scan the entire witch city.
“I’m sure the smell comes from somewhere…”
“It’s not a dog, what smell is Delrin looking for…”
“I told you to shut up. I’m really behind.”
“…”
“Let’s go over there. Hurry.”
A knight and a thief cautiously head toward the place where Delrin’s scent grows stronger.
Avoiding the eyes of the witches, we finally arrive at Chichi’s house!
Although
“What?”
“Muh, what!”
The moon goes back
The time when the sun covers the whole world.
“What, what the hell are you…!”
“No! I didn’t do anything…”
The two looked at each other with a lot of bewilderment and quickly realized.
“…I can’t believe this.”
“Ah, ah… No way…! No way! This is…!”
Until Chichi, Delrin, and Arwen ride a broom to Arwen’s hometown 718 minutes before the hour.
The two notice Delrin’s use of her powers.
What matters is…
“If this happens, what is the original plan?”
Neva’s face goes white.
As she planned, she had to quickly rescue Delrin and return to her bed, but
What if it turned out like this?
“I… I?”
About 30 minutes to stay in the back alley in such a dumbfounded state.
Philmark still remains by Neva’s side.
“Oh, little! Let’s go quickly! First, we have to save Delrin…!”
“Even if you save Delrin, she has no place to hold him anymore… She will live her whole life being chased… In that case, I’d rather kill Delrin and me too…”
“If you’re going to search, search yourself, really…! You saw that if you kill Delrin anyway, she’ll go back to her old days!”
“Yes! I went back after being subjected to your inhuman abuse! I saw it with my own two eyes!”
“No, that… First of all, we decided to bury it all and save Delrin, so we should go get it. Okay? Let’s wake up, come on! Anyway, all grown-up bastards go crazy when their plans go awry. Tsk…”
“Growing up well? Growing up well? This…!”
Neva jumps up from her seat and glares at Phil Marc. What she doesn’t even know!
“What, will it float? If you twist it, it will float. Anyway, fuck it, I, who was hanging around with this idiot…”
Philmarck also glares at Neva. I have to go get Delrin soon!
It can be a little difficult alone, so I have to take this stupid knight bastard and use it as a magic pot!
“That’s all for small talk. I was going to leave the last conversation to the end.”
However,
The plan goes a little wrong.
Narrow alley.
Someone approaches the entrance and blocks it.
“The one wearing the eyepatch is Philmarck. The one with white hair is Neva. Is that right? I wanted to compete at least once, but I didn’t expect to meet so suddenly.”
Pretty ferocious eyes and sharp ears.
Ears on top of your head! Even pricks!
And, a woman with a large sword behind her back.
“..I have no ill feelings, but you must die. Right now, right here.”
