Chapter 216 – Still, I Still Have Regrets
“Fight as much as you want. I’ll give you cover.”
Monica sighed. She wore her winter clothing tightly, and looked down on her battlefield, leaning on Scate’s back.
As a non-combatant, she did not participate in this incident. I just hoped it wouldn’t get any bigger than this.
“···Please don’t get hurt, Tan. And I hope you’re doing this with your thoughts.”
A small war was going on in the mountains of night. Bruising and hurting each other occurred frequently, but blood did not flow much.
Because both sides had the same wishes. Trying to protect one person.
The direction was just different. About whether to respect that will or prioritize safety.
———–
Lilith, who was sufficiently rested, wiped his nosebleed and prepared for the last round. Eshen sat down from exhaustion, spitting out his broken molar and glaring at the powerful demon.
However, even the apostle of God, whose lustful power was fully buffered, could not stop the Hwanhwagokju that burned his fighting spirit. The moment the hooks crossed within striking distance of each other, it was Lilith whose jaw turned.
Eshen caught the punch with his shoulder and struck Lilith in the solar plexus with all his weight in his wide open palm.
Taiga’s vision of a compatible fighting arena. Even if it were an iron wall or a dragon, it wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
“You. Just wait and see…”
Lilith fell to her knees and gritted her teeth while squirming her eyes wide open.
“I’ll learn martial arts properly, so you can catch me and beat me…”
“No matter how old you are, if you haven’t learned it yet, it’s a skill.”
“Hey, sir…”
“The bad relationship is really long. From Visserk to here. Hehe.”
Lilith fell forward, hitting her head. Eshen, who spat bloody spit on the lawn, trudged, exhausted, towards the cliff. And he grabbed hold of the rappel rope, which was firmly anchored to the cliff.
Eshen stuck his head out from under the cliff. An invisible figure was descending a rope hanging from a cliff.
Eshen growled and tugged at the rope. I felt something heavier than just a rope. The transparent bullet made a pendulum movement from side to side and screamed.
“Aww, Eshen! Wait a minute!”
“I can’t go.”
“We have to go, Eshen. I can’t leave Thena alone in a place like that.”
“You’re always like that. Just be nice to the fish you’ve already caught. Don’t make people miserable by trying to catch them non-stop!”
“···It’s not like that.”
“It’s not true. I’m almost regretting falling in love because of work during my first companion mission. If I don’t throw myself into danger and become a hero for the girls, I’ll get sick and die. Is that something like that?”
“It looks like there’s a misunderstanding, but there’s something I want you to know. I’m not abandoning you.”
“If you’re going to talk nonsense about how you’ll come back and live forever, at least in your heart, then fuck it. Hold on tight. I’ll beat you up and make you change your mind!”
Eshen’s words rose and shook, almost like a scream. This is because I discovered that a certain part of the rope was snapping and breaking.
Perhaps Tigris’ strength could be used to pull the rope up before the invisible bullet cuts the rope. If only Lilith wasn’t a much stronger enemy than we thought.
Eshen could only watch.
“···Do you remember, Tan? All the adventures we had together, short if short and long if long.”
“How could I forget? Every moment was precious.”
“You say such strange things and then turn your back on me? Since Tena was first in your heart, you will throw away everything from the second turn? No. I confessed before Tena. I have rights too. Don’t let me hang on to you in an ugly way. I also have pride. Because there is such a thing.”
“I said that’s not what I meant. I’ll be back.”
“Don’t lie. It’s not a place you can come back alive. You just want to be buried.”
“Have I ever made a promise to you and failed to keep it?”
With a rant, the string fell. Tan fell helplessly down the cliff. Eshen Taiga swallowed a cry of sorrow.
“Then come back.”
And she tried to smile at the invisible Tan.
“If you don’t come back, I’ll make a harem out of compatible songs, you son of a bitch.”
The grappling hook unfolds. A hook is caught on the branch of an old tree tens of meters high.
Tan, who barely escaped death from a fall, sprinted in a low parabola between trees.
“That’s not possible. I must go back!”
