Love Letter From The Future

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (63)

I was choked up and no answer came.

So I hugged the sister-in-law without saying anything.

It felt warm and soft to the touch.

It was a heart-tingling satisfaction that only a sister-in-law could give.

The feeling of relief as if the bosom was finally full.

But now my arms were bruised by the girl’s fading breath.

It was because of me.

I had some business to do in the city, so I sent the sisters a little earlier, but I didn’t know there would be an attack in the meantime. Not to mention that the sister-in-law would have dealt with the traitors who were trying to target me in an ambush.

Shockwaves were still emanating from the center of the dwelling, humming.

It meant that the battle was still going on.

In the aftermath, trees were uprooted and gale-forces rushed at random.

It was a fight between a vampire who was gnashing his teeth to escape from a long spell and my teacher, one of the masters of the continent.

Even if I was nearby, I would have become nothing more than a lump of baggage.

As a disciple, it must have been an uncomfortable thought, but I was somewhat grateful for that fact, funny.

Thanks to that, I was able to get time to say goodbye to my sister-in-law.

Stuttering, words of apology flowed from my mouth.

It was a voice that was wet with tears.

“Mi, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, sister-in-law… My, I’m too late… … .”

Even in the face of death, the sister-in-law giggled and burst into laughter.

It was a mischievous laugh, as always.

Today, even the sound became vague, and a tear fell down my cheek.

“… … Don’t cry, baby.”

It was a bold statement, as usual.

Rather, as if to appease me, the sister even wrapped her arms around me.

A sweet tone wet my ears.

It was a voice full of love.

“Thanks to you, I was able to be myself… Not as ‘Rainella’, but as your sister-in-law and lover. I was happy for the first time in my life.”

“Sister, please… … .”

Each and every word seemed to suggest a breakup, so I had no choice but to beg her.

Even so, the sister-in-law did not stop.

It seems like there are still so many things I want to say.

“There are so many things I did for the first time with you.”

I was choking.

“Love, kisses, and dates… Laughing and chatting with someone, dreaming of the future. I thought it would be fine if only the two of us could remain in the whole world.”

It was as if lacerations had been carved into his chest.

“… … So thank you, death penalty.”

Even when I heard the name that I didn’t call so much, I couldn’t say anything.

The girl had a soft smile.

And just by giving strength to the arm that hugged me.

“D-I finally saved it… … .”

As if relieved, he vomited sad tears.

“… … My precious person.”

A long time ago, she was a woman who helplessly lost her brother.

As if that were her only salvation, she conveyed her final feelings to me.

The hand of the girl who was groping for my arms falls off.

“no… … .”

The memories we had together pierced the senses.

A sweet first kiss.

A mischievous figure who smiled and slightly opened the front island.

The fragrant body scent that came out every time we encountered it.

The bitter taste of cosmetics left on your lips and the warmth that came from your arms.

Panting, I continued with a desperate tone.

But it’s already too late.

“No, no, no… … ! My, I was wrong, sister-in-law… I, I was too late… Oh, I won’t do that in the future… … .”

Even if you cry.

“Do you hate the word sa-mae? Then, as you wished, I’ll call you senior… The place we wanted to go alone is still a long way away… So… … ”

Even if you weep.

“please please… … .”

Even if you pray, it will not come back.

“… … do not die.”

That was the essence of death.

The blurry vision was suddenly clear.

My breathing had become rough.

Confusion came for a moment, but it was a boy, not a girl, who was held in my arms.

He dreamed of becoming a knight to protect his younger sister.

Ned, my mischievous friend who called me Master and followed me around.

It had been a long time since my eyes were burning red.

“Master, as you said… Cool! I didn’t neglect training… … .”

“Yes, yes.”

I was just muttering like a broken automaton.

Ned proudly boasted of what I had done.

“Hey, little sister… I was able to defeat the bad guy who attacked my little sister… … .”

“Yes, yes. It was great. a lot… … .”

I was so upset that it was difficult for me to continue talking.

But Ned didn’t have much time left.

Straining my tears, I spoke to Ned.

“… … so much, so big Suddenly. Protect your little sister like this.”

“Master… … .”

Ned only looked relieved after hearing my compliment.

he told me in a sad voice.

“But May is still behind me.”

“I will protect you.”

It was an answer without even hesitation.

It was a heated potion that was refined and vomited out of boiling emotions.

My arm, which was holding Ned in my arms, naturally gained strength.

Even then, no answer came back, so I swore again.

“Be sure to protect me… As much as your little sister, it must be”

we are brothers

Because I swore to protect my sister.

The obvious facts that I don’t know why I forgot.

Ned’s will wasn’t over yet.

He squeezed other languages out of his aching lungs.

“Besides Mei, there are many… I promised to protect Rudy from Gunnut Village and Charles from my neighbor’s house, but… … .”

“All.”

I gritted my teeth as if I was determined, and spat out a promise.

Reflecting the shimmering flames, pools of blood reflected my figure.

My pupils were bloodshot.

“Everything, I will protect you… Not just your sister, everyone.”

“… … Are you real? Abandoning no one?”

It was a question thrown as if it was hard to believe easily.

So I repeated what I used to say to Ned.

“Well, of course… You know, Ned. A good article, by the way, is… … .”

“… … I don’t lie.”

Reproducing the questions and answers exchanged over and over again, Ned smiled brightly as if he had finally calmed down.

“What a relief.”

Ned’s breathing thinned as he fell asleep.

“Because Master Ian is the best knight I know… … .”

With a bang, the boy’s hand falls helplessly.

I was hugging the boy for some time.

Until even the reverberation of that breath is completely erased from my ears.

Only then did I carefully lay the boy on the ground.

My body stumbled and got up.

I was stupid.

It should have been like this.

So far, I have only acted on the information that came from the future.

Throw away what should be thrown away, and then it will pass again.

After choosing that reasonable choice, the words that ran away were like this.

In the end I couldn’t save anything.

Stupid bastard, why didn’t I know?

The fact that there is nothing left after being thrown away.

I groaned and took a step.

Every time I took a step, my body repeated the pendulum movement. Blood dripped from the hatchet pulled from the fleshy corpse.

As I stepped forward with my head down, someone’s voice caught me.

“… … Ian.”

My gaze glanced behind my back.

Standing there was my most trusted adviser, Leto.

A voice mixed with a sigh escaped from his mouth.

The general circumstances seemed to have already been figured out.

“I understand what you mean… It’s impossible for you alone.”

As always, he gave a soft explanation.

“You who came from the future are also the result of various calculations. We can’t defeat that monster with all our might right now. Of course, the sacrifice hurts, but I have no choice but to take it… … .”

“… … Leto.”

However, after a long time, I returned the boiling voice to Leto.

The searing heat had already caught my eye.

There was only a glimpse of a reddish aura in his dry eyes.

Even so, the words I vomit contained desperate anger.

It was a feeling I had no idea what it was for.

Is it me, the enemy, or fate that has pushed me down this precipitous position?

However, I hoped that this would be a choice that would not remain as a regret.

“If it were that person, it would have been.”

Finally, I turned my gaze to the front again.

“… … I am not.”

Before Leto had time to stop, my body, which had hit the ground, was shot at high speed.

Not even the sparks that lick the world as they slither could stop me.

The space was compressed and the sound of the gusty wind hit my ears.

A corpse giant was visible in the distance.

Before long, the monster turned its hideous gaze at me.

That alone gave me a tremendous sense of pressure.

It is such a tall and thick wall.

It was a sense of intimidation, as if asking me if you dared to resist fate.

Suddenly, I remembered a sentence I had seen the other day.

‘Throw away what to throw away.’

I stopped laughing.

A whooshing sound of laughter broke through the gaping holes in the air.

“… … You’re f*cking.”

There was nothing to throw away.

Lia, Ned, Mei, nothing.

That was the fate I chose.
