Chapter 862 – 862. Post-Return Processing (3)
It wasn’t long after the girl followed her parents out of the elven forest that Eris became aware of her “Clairvoyant” Ability to see the near future.
In fact, it has been there since she was a child.
However, she named it ‘Clairvoyance’, and it was when she left the forest and started living in the Duchy of Armitas that she realized her own special ability.
And there was only one time when Eris actively used that ability.
“I had foreseen the vampires who had been sneaking into the duchy in the past.”
“… Okay. I remember.”
It was an incident that Eunhyeon also remembered.
It was a story I had heard directly from none other than Lily and Alvin.
At the time, it was Eun-hyeon’s order to place Lily, a succubus who was also a natural enemy of vampires.
And she was surprised to see Eris who appeared at the spot where she had dealt with them with the power of a succubus, and then the girl turned to Alvin.
Although Lily and Alvin said that all the vampires who infiltrated the dukedom were neatly dealt with, the unchanging fact was that they were dangerous places where they could get hurt if they went wrong.
It was also the first incident in which Derkin and Alice, who heard of the incident, scolded Eris with a rare rage.
And it is also the incident where Eun-hyeon intuited the specialness of her Eris.
“Why… Didn’t I tell you until now… ?”
It was the same with Derkin that raised questions.
But she didn’t ask for details.
She hoped that one day, if she were a grown daughter, she would gradually stand out in that specialness, and that her daughter would tell her secrets on her own.
Perhaps now was that moment.
Even so, she felt worried about the fact that she had been hiding it without telling her until now, and at the same time, she felt a bit sad, as her parents, she couldn’t help it.
“Because I wasn’t sure myself.”
“You weren’t sure?”
“The first time I saw the future was a dream. It was a dream in which a friend from the nursery school I was playing with gave me delicious candy.”
It was a dream that was surprisingly vivid in my memory.
At first, I didn’t think it was a big deal, so I thought it was just a dream and passed it on.
She said that one day the exact thing she had seen in her dream happened before her eyes.
“That…”
Eunhyun muttered briefly, blurring the end of her words.
Couldn’t she just be mistaken?
It was natural to question that.
It wasn’t just Eris, but she herself and everyone else had such misunderstandings from time to time.
It was not at all the case that she was mistaken that something happened that was oddly similar to the situation in her dream.
Cases in which information received through the five senses or mainly visual experience and a phenomenon feel as if they have already encountered it, causing an illusion.
In general, this strange feeling of deja vu is also called déjà vu.
“No. It was exactly the same. And… Because it wasn’t something she’d only experienced once.”
But Eris resolutely affirmed her own experience.
The image of the friend giving the candy with a bright smile, the sound, and the surrounding background.
And to the point of experiencing it, everything is everything.
It wasn’t just a strange feeling of déjà vu or an illusion.
A dream in which a friend from the nursery school you were playing with gave you delicious candy.
It could have been one of the common incidents melted into ordinary daily life, but when the experience does not end once and repeats itself, doubt gradually turns into certainty.
“I’ve seen a lot. Vampires sneaking into the duchy and trying to attack people was one of them.”
In addition, the three ancient beasts that attacked the forest of elves, the existence of the undead that began to appear on the border of Mograf, the beast that attacked humans and conceived monsters under the sinkhole, and the necromancer who attacked the sacred kingdom of Erenia, etc. .
Eris had seen countless incidents.
From the moment she became aware of her ability, the girl’s ‘thriller’ grew as she grew up.
I have been able to see the future more specifically and in detail, and I have been able to foresee the future that I can see as well as the distant future that is not close.
“… I understand you couldn’t speak at first because you weren’t sure of your abilities. However, since you became aware and convinced that you have ‘thousand eyes’, why did you not reveal the events you saw?”
If I had known the incident would happen, I could have reacted more quickly.
I couldn’t help but think that the number of victims could have been reduced.
She couldn’t help but feel all the more regretful because she was Eun-hyeon, who had worked hard to reduce even one more victim in the incidents she had experienced.
“… Sorry.”
Seeing Eris lowering her head with a sad expression on her face, both Derkin and Eunhyeon were taken aback.
Eunhyeon realized that her tone had become slightly rough without her knowledge.
Her feelings were not relieved by blaming the powerless little girl.
“… Sorry. I don’t mean to blame Eris. I just wonder why.”
“The future… I tried to change it, but to no avail. Even a very trivial future where no one dies.”
Eris made various attempts to see if she could change the future she saw, but in the end, the future didn’t change as if it had already been decided, and it happened as it was.
The definite future happens eventually.
“And… The future I saw was eventually solved in the end. The uncle steps in.”
Even if Eun-hyeon didn’t step forward, they were all cases that were solved by Eun-hyeon or Eun-hyeon’s wives.
Even if the weak elf girl struggled without any strength, even if she relayed the future she saw to Eunhyun or her others, the result would not have changed in Eris’ mind.
What was the reason for Eris to reveal her secret that she had been hiding until now?
“… Isn’t the purpose to fix Erwin’s body?”
Eunhyeon realized Eris’s true purpose.
She tells Eun-hyeon herself and Regina, the elven queen, the future she has seen.
Elvin’s body was her second income she earned in the process.
Eris, seen by Eunhyun, was a very clever child.
“… Yes.”
Hearing Eris nod her head with her serious face, Eunhyeon was lost in her thoughts.
“Speaking does not change the future that has been decided…”
The reason her girl didn’t reveal her clairvoyance until now is because she saw the ending where all the cases were resolved anyway.
Then why is Eris revealing that fact now?
“I couldn’t see the end being resolved.”
“… That’s right.”
Eris strongly affirmed.
“…”
She said, “It’s not like she never said it because she could never trust her dad or her mom.”
Perhaps because she had guessed Derkin’s sad expression, Eris added that one word.
Eunhyun, Derkin, Elvin, and even Eris, who had opened her mouth, all shut their mouths tightly, and only a heavy silence settled in her house.
The words of a small, young girl were too heavy.
Can the future the girl saw really happen?
It was meaningless to question the authenticity of such things now.
“… Good. Eris. I will believe you.”
“Ah…”
Eris sighed lightly.
She asked her to believe it, and she said it herself, but when she heard the story through Eun-hyeon’s mouth, her heart trembled without realizing it.
She belatedly looked at the faces of Derkin and Alvin, and they both nodded wryly as well.
It was a look that showed her willingness to believe what she said in the future.
“What is going to happen soon?”
“The door… It arises.”
“Door?”
“The monsters… It’s a ‘door’ that comes through a lot.”
◆ ◆ ◆
“Then I will go.”
Upon hearing the story from his daughter, Derkin immediately left the Duchy of Armitas.
It was because Eris had to explain what her daughter saw about the future and prepare for it, starting with the ability called ‘Clairvoyance’.
It was a story that was so unbelievable, but it was the future that the elf girl saw that could not be overlooked.
“… Belldandi.”
[Okay.]
“Is it really possible to see the future?”
Even Eun-hyeon, who knew many things and became a half-god beyond the providence of the world, was uncertain about the future ahead.
But even so, I thought it was not an impossible story.
[It’s not an impossible story. In fact, don’t children know such cases?]
“…”
At Belldandi’s words, Eunhyeon also had one thing in mind.
She was like that of Yuria, who had placed herself as the current queen of Fernias Kingdom.
She actually had a history of foreseeing future events.
“But her foreknowledge and Eris’s clairvoyance are completely different concepts.”
Yuria had only encountered a part of the story, which was embodied in the form of a novel, a series of events taking place on this continent.
Now, the events she was aware of didn’t mean much.
In that novel, the main character was Cha Han-seong, and Eun-hyeon did not exist.
Cha Han-seong was not chosen by Durandal, Erin was eaten away by a vengeful nine-tailed fox, and Illyana and other heroes all died at the end of the story.
In the end, the grand story of Cha Han-seong, who was left alone, defeating the demons that invaded the continent and making peace once again did not happen.
Moreover, the biggest difference was not only the presence or absence of Eunhyun.
Illyana’s existence from another dimension was like that.
It was highly likely that she was instigating the series of events that were happening now.
Illyana’s purpose is probably herself as well.
No, she must have had herself.
Eunhyun was sure.
“At last… I must be the cause.”
[Hey. As I always say, this is the child’s fault…]
I thought it was completely fixed now, but I tried to comfort Eun-hyeon, who was blaming herself again.
“Ah, I didn’t mean to blame myself. Sorry. Belldandy. Just… I was thinking about how Eris’ ‘clairvoyance’ came about on what principle.”
On the other hand, Eris’s ‘clairvoyance’ is more about ‘experience’ where she directly sees, hears, and feels the future that will happen.
Obviously, Eris’s “Clairvoyance” Was even more abnormal.
[Hmm, sure…]
Predicting the future is to twist the providence of the world that maintains this dimension itself.
Even for a goddess, that is impossible.
Isn’t that why the gods adopted Yuria’s case as a way to indirectly provide the future?
Eris’ clairvoyance was something that did not fit the providence.
How the hell
It is natural to ask the question.
[No way…]
“Berdandi?”
Belldandi thought of a possibility.
[Hmm?]
“Have you thought of anything?”
[Hmm…]
Belldandy did not speak of the possibility he had thought of.
Very cautiously, the hesitant goddess finally kept her silence.
[I’ll tell you later, when I’m more certain.]
“Hmm? Yes. All right.”
Eun-hyeon did not follow her goddess who carefully organizes her thoughts.
