Chapter 120 – Always His Share (1)
The two stayed like that for a while, holding back laughter that seemed to burst out.
It made me laugh even more when I tried to be patient.
“…?”
Then Lily feels a sharp pain.
Blood was dripping from her arm.
“…Ah.”
Pain that was not felt due to excitement caused by extreme situations,
It came back thanks to the tension that was released with laughter.
It wasn’t that serious.
If she left alone, she would stop on its own, but … That said, it was too painful to leave it alone.
Lily notices Stachis.
He didn’t seem to know yet.
He couldn’t ask him.
He didn’t deserve it.
Lily quietly turns her back to him and walks on her arm.
“..Oh..”
The pain was becoming more and more vivid.
The wound on the collar was painful.
Lily checked her clothes for a cloth to stop the bleeding.
I was wondering which part would be okay to tear off.
“…What are you doing.”
Until I heard a voice behind me.
“Oh!”
Having been secretly treating the wound, Lily is surprised more than necessary.
She was like a child caught doing her wrong.
“Oh that..”
Lily’s Pina, Starchis’ eyes clearly visible, turned to her wrist her.
“..After..”
And he sighed.
Lily closed her eyes tightly.
She knew he wasn’t the man to be
What would he do if she considered herself a nuisance, she pondered.
Starchis knows, but angry Starchis doesn’t.
I was afraid of it for nothing.
Worry for a while,
– Jjiik!
Starchis rips his clothes.
His abs his were exposed along the torn clothes.
Lily averted her eyes involuntarily.
Her face her turned hot.
She imagined countless times,
It was his abs that he secretly touched from time to time,
It was like this every time I saw it.
“…Give me your arm.”
He says.
“…”
Lily brought her arm her without reply.
She forced her eyes to stop still.
If she didn’t, she kept glancing at her eyes and she turned to him.
She couldn’t help it either.
Even if he committed a sin, maybe it was a situation where he hated himself, or whatever the situation was, instinct was something that couldn’t be won.
The inner flesh of the man she had dreamed of every night was not something she could easily see.
– Knock!
“Wow..!”
First aid came to an end as he forcefully patched her clothes her over her wounds her.
Starchis finished his work and turned around without regret.
At that moment, Lily grabbed him by the wrist as he unknowingly left.
-Widely.
Starchis turns around, and their eyes meet.
“…Ah..”
Then Lily realized what she was doing and let go of his arm.
Silence hovers in the air for a moment,
It is broken by a sound outside the cave.
-Koo-kung…Koo-kung…
Lily immediately turned on her magical eyes.
“…Still alive.”
“…”
I didn’t have to say anything.
Because there weren’t many monsters that could make such a sound.
The red lizard was limping outside.
It didn’t look alright, but
It didn’t matter.
I wondered how I was still alive
It was also not something to worry about now.
All they had to do now was to remain still.
I had to hope that it would disappear somewhere, or that the injury would deteriorate and die.
“…”
For a certain amount of time, I was stuck in this cave.
The first time I fell off a cliff, I made the right decision to hide.
Of course, there was a way to go out to subdue by betting that the monster would be seriously injured, but there was no need to take the risk at the point of completing the mission to save Reckd’s party.
“I am trapped here.”
Lily said to Stachis.
She still couldn’t calculate how much Starchis hated her.
Looking at his expression and actions of his, he seemed to have calmed down a bit.
What happened to her, she still felt more and more about Starchis as she went along.
It was amazing to myself that I was able to do that after all of this.
She realizes that the thought that she couldn’t love more than this was a mistake.
Immediately after falling off the cliff, his actions came to mind.
The words he said as he pulled her head and hugged her.
‘It’ll take a while.’
He reassured her not to be afraid even at that moment.
He must be angry, but at the moment of his death, he still thinks of himself more than anyone else.
It was mature.
He was a person who could not be compared to himself who tried to act like an adult.
I wished he would lean on himself,
In the end, he was the only one who depended on him.
“…”
He didn’t answer
Instead, he only nodded briefly.
.
.
.
.
The night got deeper and darkness fell.
The cold found them.
Even though I thought about going out several times before this point came, every time I did, I heard a presence outside like a ghost.
The two had no choice but to continue killing time in the cave.
The silence had been long.
Lily seemed to be sitting on a cushion of thorns.
In all the long years of knowing him, never had there been such a long silence.
As we got along well, the topic of conversation never ran out.
The sum fits well, and the story bites its tail.
…Now there is no trace of that time.
Lily didn’t know what to say to break the silence.
Starchis didn’t like to hear about the apology.
She wanted to stop listening.
She had to find another subject.
She wondered what she had talked about so much in the past.
She wanted to turn back time and ask for help.
…Sure, if I could really turn back time, there’d be a few things I’d have to do first.
She tried to recall the past.
She said back then, obviously, naturally.
As you remember.
She exchanged thoughts and feelings she wanted to convey.
She turned her head and looked at her starches, which she had quietly buried in her lap.
A troubled look.
The sight of him sitting in the cave and his expression brought up a memory.
I can barely remember what I want to say now.
“… Aren’t we a little used to this moment?”
Lily asked.
It was a soft but gentle voice.
“…”
“…Remember?”
To Lily, her memories were her own treasures of her.
She even crosses her line for the first time,
She held her in his arms, and together they drove out the cold of dawn.
We also asked a lot of questions about each other.
It was also the day Starchis stopped talking.
“…We hid together in a cave like this back then… Whoops… Don’t you remember?”
She laughed as if she was laughing at the crime she had committed.
But Lily didn’t let the words of her remorse her come out of her mouth her.
Because it was obvious Starchis would not like to hear it.
“…”
Starchis didn’t answer this time either.
I thought once he slipped and the atmosphere softened,
Maybe it was her own wish her.
Is it really impossible to go back to the way it was before?
And when I was lonely and in despair,
“… Remember.”
His voice His echoes in the cave.
For some reason, Lily felt teary-eyed.
Hearing his voice made her feel like crying.
At the same time, a bright smile spread across her lips.
She tells him through her moist eyes.
“…Huh. We are really unlucky all the time.”
“…I know, right.”
“Still, thanks to you, I lived.. Thank you again this time.”
Starchis turned her head to look at her.
“…Didn’t sister save me?”
Then, Starchis throws a question he’s been curious about.
“Sister… Why did you jump together?”
It is unfortunate that the results were good,
Lily’s actions her at that time were not calculated.
Stachis, who embraced Lily more than anyone else, knew that.
You never knew how many tree roots there would be in the cliff,
If they hadn’t caught each other as they fell, they would have died.
After touching each other’s bodies, they barely survived with an improvised plan.
Lily was prepared for her death at the time.
“… Because I love you.”
Lily pondered for a moment.
“I don’t want to fall…”
She didn’t even want to hide the truth.
“…That word is so… Awkward.”
He answered her heart her.
Lily didn’t care.
Even if she throws her own heart on the floor,
She had nothing to say
“…Anyway, when I say I’m alive, I’m not talking about the fall, Stachis. I’m talking about what happened when I stumbled while using magic.”
Starchis recalled the records of battles that passed quickly.
When the monster suddenly appeared from above, Lily unfolded her shield and she staggered from below as if overdoing it.
Starchis wrapped her around the waist and threw her to safety.
“…Even then… You saved us all.”
“Thank you anyway.”
When he finished, Starchis let out a sigh.
For some reason, to Lily, the sigh seemed to expel her anger.
“…That… Even then, Starchis saved me. Even in the case of Tiger Wolf.”
“We saved each other.”
“Do you remember everything?”
“It was a little too much to forget, wasn’t it?”
A smile spread across Lily’s face again.
She was glad that he had n’t forgotten her precious memories of her as well.
As she recalled the memories of that day, even the conversations they had at that time came back vividly.
“…”
Suddenly, it was Lily who wanted to repeat the conversation that day.
Come to think of it, she hadn’t signed a strange pact until that day.
It was a time when there was no such thing as the Starchis Treaty.
So she might want to repeat the conversation that day.
From the moment she had not yet committed a sin,
Maybe she wanted to feel the feeling of building a relationship again.
She mustered up her courage and cautiously delivered her joke.
I hoped he remembered this question.
“..S..Starchis..Why do you use that weapon?”
Food.
Then Starchis laughed.
He remembered that too.
Lily also had a bright smile on her face.
It was the happiness I had tasted in a long time.
“…”
However, Stachis’ smile gradually hardened.
If Lily remembers right, the answer he gave was
It was ‘I want to imitate you.’
I don’t know what kind of change of heart there was,
The answer did not come.
Lily realized that he was thinking about something.
It wasn’t just the sins they committed against him.
It wasn’t just about worrying about parental problems.
Something else was wriggling inside him.
“It’s getting cold.”
Instead he says
It was definitely getting cold.
The night in the woods is cold.
Besides, since it was inside the cave, it was cold as if it was winter.
Lily was used to this situation too.
He didn’t mean it intentionally,
The day the Tiger Wolf incident took place was also cold.
And then,
For Lily who passed out due to running out of mana
Starchis had put their bodies together to share their warmth.
Lily looks at the man at that time.
…Of course, I knew that I couldn’t relive the past now.
“Worms.”
There was mana
The air around Lily and Stachis warms.
“…Thanks.”
As the air warmed, he thanked me.
Starchis relaxed his shrunken body involuntarily.
But Lily still
Starchis’ troubled image lingered in his head.
He turned around,
He couldn’t even turn her thoughts around.
What’s wriggling inside Starchis?
She seemed to be able to predict it too.
Just before receiving the request, Stachis’s words come to mind.
‘…We just…Do-‘
No matter how much she refused, she heard what came next.
His dazed and at the same time suffering expression conveyed what he said behind the scenes.
Lily opens and closes her mouth once.
It was a word I didn’t want to say in a good atmosphere after a long time.
…But in the end you have to ask.
“…Starchis.”
“…Yes.”
“… Are you thinking of breaking up the party?”
As they come out of her mouth, Lily realizes the weight of the words.
She had been ignoring herself.
Like her scar her on her own arm her,
It was only after meeting her that she felt the pain.
Incomparable to her arms her,
Her stabbing pain is felt in her chest.
