Chapter 139 – Coming Things (8)
“You forgot the story in the middle. Your maternal grandfather was a knight and at the same time a devout servant of God. It seems that it was difficult for him to accept the fact that Leona, his wife, was a demon, and that Leona truly loved him. Leona was suspected of being a demon, but she had been denying, denying, and getting angry with him for decades…”
It might be a lump with the name devil in this world. Ran, who was silent, showed no emotion whatsoever. He just closed his eyes. He opened his eyes after a while. Marey dreamed once again with yellow eyes that seemed to melt fragile gold.
A devout servant of God, a disciple, lord, and knight who was the pride of Yeong Ji-min, when he realized that his wife was a demon, he hugged his beloved sword and went to her room. She is a beautiful wife who never changes, unlike herself who was growing old.
And his own blood clots squirming in his wife’s arms.
He was a knight who entered his wife’s room thinking that he would cut his throat at once, but he was the father of a child. Seeing the gore and the image of the wife she really, really loved, anger and betrayal crouched over her body.
The knight puts down his sword in front of his wife and says let’s die together. A knight who knelt down and howled in front of her wife, calling her by name, Leona. Leona bites her lip at the sight of her husband asking her to die with her if she truly loved her.
At the sight of a small lump of blood wriggling in her arms, Leona knew why her husband was saying such a thing. She cried silently, and the knight cried in front of him for a long time, until Leona opened her mouth again.
We run away Leona, her maternal grandmother, said that. The knight shook his head. There was no use in running away. Evidence from numerous churches had already driven the two to their deaths. Even if they run and run, the tenacious enforcers will find them. If so, it was right that it ended like this now.
He was Leona’s husband, but at the same time he was the Lord of the North. If he escaped, the demon hunters would not leave the territory alone. Everything will be burned, and curses will pour down on the land of the people who were not fertile, but barely managed to eat the land.
So she tried to escape by dying. With her own wife, a demon, and her daughter with demonic blood. The knight waited all day and, without answering, raised his sword high over Leona’s head, who was breastfeeding her child…
“Stop. A talent that cannot be controlled rather destroys itself.”
Ran’s voice rescued Marey from the shaking whose memory it was. What was the sight you just saw? Unexpectedly, tears flowed non-stop. On her unknown wave of emotion, Marayi wiped her tears, her breath in and out. She realized that she was looking at herself with her expressionless face and that she was in front of her and she was in front of herself.
“I am… What did you see?”
“What I saw. And what the earth saw.”
I didn’t quite understand Ran’s words. Marey erased one by one from her memory what she didn’t even know was someone’s memory as if it was going through her head. She tried to forget it for a few minutes, but she remained a strangely dim scene, and the intense emotion that seemed to break out in tears faded.
“It might even be better than Marie… I don’t know if it’s auspicious or bad omen.”
“Better than mother… ?”
“It’s too muddy to be called empathy, and too emotional to be called understanding. Most people. Now, there are no words to explain that ability, which might be better described as a sense that only you have. She is also an ability that only a few people had in the past, so she didn’t even get a name.”
Something that is neither empathy nor understanding. Even Marey didn’t have the confidence to put into words what he saw. She was just seen, heard, felt, and remembered. Although she only faded straight away.
“If you learn to control one or two, it will be of great help to you. But if you don’t like it, I have no intention of forcing you to learn. Because there are so many times in the world where it’s better not to know…”
Ran smiled bitterly. Her dark gold eyebrows stayed in place, but her lips twisted and forced. The two hands on her lap held each other tightly to not let go of the other.
It’s okay not to learn. It’s good not to know. Ran seemed to want Marey to refuse. But her words of her mother’s abilities sparked her curiosity, and she couldn’t contain her curiosity about what the sight she had just seen was.
“I want to learn.”
Without a goal of how to use her own abilities, her little boy insisted on her stubbornness, and Ran looked at Marey’s face for a while. She nodded.
“Okay. You do it slowly.”
Ran stood up alone in her seat without touching her hands to the floor, as if she was lifted by something. I was on her knees and how she got up so naturally, Marey felt a little fear.
She was sitting so close that when Ran took a step towards her, she immediately touched her nose to her Marey’s chest, then reached out with her small hand and grabbed her Marey by the neck, slowly pulling her towards herself. .
“Baby, show me your face.”
Ran and Marey were looking at each other’s faces. The young boy wondered what the priestess was talking about. She looked at her golden eyes for a while, then slowly took off her own blindfold and looked at Ran.
“…As expected, you were there. ■■■. For a moment… You… What… Oops…!”
Ran murmured bitterly as she watched her left eye open and reshape her metaphysical shapes. She couldn’t hear what Ran was calling her last. Once she sang something more like cries than language, Ran let her body limp.
Marey hurriedly picked her up at Ran’s sudden appearance, and Ran let out a long, long, very long breath. Then she leaned her cheek against Marey’s chest, slowly. She fell very slowly.
“Stop… Stop… !”
Ran muttered something incomprehensible to her, then placed her hands on Marey’s chest and pushed it away slowly. Marei looked down at her ran as if embarrassed by the power of her push. Ran just mumbled her mouth to say something, but she didn’t say anything properly.
Her golden eyes were filled with tears, and Ran, whose face looked like she was ready to cry, slowly backed away from Marey while holding her fists tightly clenched in her long sleeves.
“Why do you do that to me…”
“Lan?”
As her own name is called, Ran’s body staggers once more, then she takes a step forward and she manages to keep her balance. She was, and she was breathing heavily, sticking out her tongue long with her open mouth.
“Today… Today… Doesn’t seem like the day… Next time. Come back next time.”
“Yes? Ran?”
Matching her step back, Marey took a step forward. The moment the two of them moved without narrowing the distance stopped when the wall hit Ran’s back. Without looking at Marey’s face, Ran was trying to look away from her. Her hands, clenched so tightly that her white top was crumpled, trembled.
Her soggy saliva drips down her floor in long lines, and Ran’s body flinches and trembles loudly. At her sudden seizure of ran, Marei seems to be worried about her, as she takes one more step towards her and she calls her name.
“Ran?”
Ran shook his head at Marey’s question. And she immediately skipped across the room without looking back and shut the door. Seeing her suddenly run away, Marei chases after Ran, but when she opens the door, she sees the outside of the shrine.
Several times she opened the door to enter the shrine, but all she could see was outside the shrine. If you open the door leading from the outside to the inside, you will see the outside of the shrine, and even if you pass through that door, you will find yourself escaping in front of the door again.
In a landscape that seemed to be explained by various names such as magic tricks and sorcery, Marey passed through the gate several times, but was unable to enter the shrine. She called Ran’s name a few times, then she remembered her words to come again, and she had no choice but to follow the numerous red pillars she had passed down to Balter School.
Stories about her mother, her maternal grandmother, the name Lilith, which she had heard somewhere, Ran, who introduced her as the god of demons, and Lauren, whom she had met for the first time today, filled Marey’s mind.
As a result, it seemed that Ran’s behavior when he saw her left eye overlapped with the appearance of Ravela. Upon reaching such a thought, one or two images of Ran, who hadn’t been conscious of it, began to emerge from Marey’s memory.
Ran, who had grown smaller in size, was wearing clothes that were taller than her own height, and whenever she moved a little, her pink loss was sneakily visible. The way she spits out her old-fashioned words in a young, sweet voice, the freshness of her that I feel for Philia, and the way that she shows maturity in Lauren at the same time…
Marai sighed heavily and tried to stop her thoughts. What is she thinking about her mother’s master? She lusted after her smaller body even more than herself, and it felt as if her guilt had flowed through her shadow and strangled her.
When there are children with adult proportions who are likely to jump out of erotic picture books or media that poured out masses of delusions, no, people who seem to have just reduced the body of an adult to a smaller size, it is an antinomy that makes you feel like a child but also has a sexual desire. Marey was even confused by the body full of sexual desire.
From the time she was aroused by her philia body, it felt like her ethics were blurring. Of course, she could think that it was okay for her younger self to be excited about the body of a girl her age, but to think that her body was excited about Ran’s younger body, barely able to reach her own breasts.
It was very nice to see the back of a girl who was getting used to Marey’s eyes as she walked aimlessly on her promenade, whipping herself up with these thoughts.
“Melan! Melan!”
“Huh? Ah… It’s Marey. Hi.”
Turning around at the sound of her voice calling for herself, Merande glanced at Marey’s face and slightly frowned at her. Waved his hand.
“How have you been doing?”
“…Huh.”
Merendet was clutching her basket with both her hands. The figure of Ran came to mind in her golden hair, in her beastly eyes looking at her. The girl in front of her seemed to be waiting for her to speak. Her slightly trembling eyes, rather than relaxed, showed her nervousness.
“What did Melan do during the founding of the principality? She was told that she came from the principality, but did she go to her home?”
“… She was at Valter. She doesn’t like the house very much.”
“Oh, sorry… That is…”
Seeing her sudden apology, Merande burst into a small laugh. Her hands were still holding the basket tightly, but Marey smiled as she smiled with her head slightly lowered.
“Looking at that, she must have gone to the principality?”
“Ah yes. I went there for the first time, and it was great. A huge clock tower, a canal…”
She didn’t talk about Philia, but Marei talked about things she had seen and eaten. Marey continued talking nonstop about the question or location that Merande was also familiar with about the capital of the principality.
“Looks like you had a good guide. Everyone knows the tourist spots recommended by the principality, but people don’t really know the places that are really good or worth seeing.”
Sitting at the base of a tree where two or three people could comfortably sit, Merande was waving his feet back and forth. When he heard that Marey, who was sitting next to him, was a good guide, he had no choice but to try to get away from Philia’s thoughts.
“I would like to go back at least once. Next time we have something to go together, I’ll tell you a better place. Because I know the geography of the place better than the guide…”
Seeing Marais waving his hand here and there and explaining excitedly, Merande wondered whether it was interest or competition. I had no choice but to answer in moderation.
“Where are you going?”
“There are children who are obedient, and I want to give them…”
. The figure of Merende, who carefully lifted her basket up to her chest, was like a small animal, so lovely that I wanted to hug her tightly.
“Can I help you?”
“What… It doesn’t matter…”
Seeing the girl’s clumsy affirmation, Marei carefully picked up the basket. As if accepting her little boy’s kindness, Merande moved her hand holding the basket quietly to the side. The weight she shared between the two of them, but the weight that would stagger her if she caught it carelessly, Marei tensed up and added strength to her hand holding the basket.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
“…It’s heavy.”
Merendet covered her mouth and let out a chuckle.
“Because humans and normal blood-sucking species are weak… There is no need to overdo it.”
“Little bit more… I will listen with you.”
Do whatever you feel like. The corners of Merande’s eyes drooped long as she answered appropriately. By the time her arms went numb, Merende’s steps stopped, and after she clapped two or three times, animals began to emerge one by one from her thicket.
“Does Merende like animals?”
“I think it is delicious.”
Marais stared at her blankly at Merende’s reply, who casually embraced her lunging rabbit while headbutting her torso to herself. Her red eyes were so serious that Marei couldn’t properly follow her words.
