4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (81)

As soon as Celine heard Arthur’s words, she stood up in tears.

“Because this man wants to hear it, really!”

It was Celine who was already pushed to her mental limits.

Unable to control her anger, she grabbed Arthur by the collar, and the drawing room became a mess as people stood up to stop them both.

High voices and cries formed a melancholy chord.

Beyond, Leah trembled and shook her head.

“Oh, no… My, how much I love you… Because I love you, because I love you so much, it was hard… That, but how can I… … .”

In Ria’s eyes looking down at her convulsing hands,

“I… … .”

A blood-soaked white hand was reflected.

It was the blood of my beloved brother.

“My, my, I… … .”

Leah shook her head, as if trying to deny it, and dragged her hips back. Even if I struggled and tried to get away, this place was already a corner.

There was nowhere to run.

Bloody handprints left on the ground testified to her guilt.

Unable to see it, Lia fell face down with her eyes closed.

A pitiful trembling voice leaked from her throat.

“… … no.”

The sounds around her became muffled and Leah was left alone in pitch darkness.

An empty space where only the sound of whimpering remains.

“No, no, no… … .”

The girl struggled there for a long time.

“Noaagh!”

With a scream, I gasped and opened my eyes.

It was a dark and damp place.

Lia wrapped her arms around my body, still shaking.

Clap, snap, teeth clashing, spreading a sharp noise.

My body was covered in a cold sweat, and tears welled up around my eyes.

Leah cried.

“Oh, no… uh, i didn’t mean that black, uh… I’m sorry, brother. me, i… … .”

everything was denied

Lia was not ‘Percus’.

No, on the contrary, he was not even sure that he was human.

I stabbed my brother whom I deeply admired with my own hand.

What kind of human could do that?

So Lia thought with a broken mind.

The more it did, the clearer the conclusion became.

Those words that the imperial magistrate raised his voice while pointing with his finger.

“… … I must be a monster.”

Leah was missing.

How many days have you stayed in a place no one knows about?

Lia vomited in vain with her thin body.

Because I resent myself for being hungry for monsters.

The girl was drying herself to death.

**

Upon hearing the news of Lia’s disappearance, I immediately prepared to go out.

Of course, there was no resistance.

“Ian, no! Your body isn’t normal yet! As you can see, the majority of muscles have also degenerated from a long coma… aagh!”

As the saintess spoke for a long time, I silently took out the potion from my pocket and gulped it down.

It was a strength enhancer that Emma gave her.

It was difficult to stand up even with magic, but with the medicinal effect, he was able to move.

Of course, the saintess made an expression as if the world was collapsing.

“Mi, crazy! crazy, crazy, crazy… That, even after doing that group, the medicine again… … !”

“If you hold back, I’ll drink another bottle.”

Then the saintess stamped her feet, but she could no longer restrain me.

He only stared resentfully at me with his dewy eyes.

“… … Anyway, you don’t care about my heart, do you?”

With a mixture of anger and shame, the saintess spit it out.

The concentration of young emotions in those light pink eyes was not easy.

If left like this, even tears would flow.

My pupils stared at the saintess without a word.

“Every time, every time, every time… I’m alone, anxious, lonely… Well, but you don’t even care! Am I so complacent?! A man standing in line saying that it’s okay to see me like this… … .”

“Holy Lady.”

The saintess flinched at my serious tone.

And as I took a step, her body trembled.

Looking at those swaying light pink eyes, I thought.

Leto had told me about it.

They said there is a way to calm a woman when she is angry.

Soon after finding the answer, my mouth opened softly.

“… … You are pretty.”

The saintess’ breathing stopped.

opened, closed

Her lips, which had been repeatedly opening and closing for a while, soon took a deep breath and let out a sound.

“Muh, what, what?”

“It’s pretty. Is it because I haven’t seen you in a long time?”

Then, the saintess’ spirit changed completely.

Her light pink eyes, which were even covered with dew, slightly avoided me, and the saintess blushed and showed a hesitant look.

Her index finger twirled the side of my hair for no reason.

“… … that’s right? uh, what It’s all natural, though.”

“Yes, it is pretty.”

The saintess, who had been pretending to be calm, began to hesitate again.

She glanced at me, then asked while wiggling her fingers.

“Yo, I’m a bit haggard because I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately… … .”

“It is still pretty. As always.”

The saintess’ face brightened a lot at my compliments that were thrown in succession.

He seemed to want to pretend that nothing was wrong, but he couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from smirking.

The saintess pretended to speak in a calm voice.

Pom, who raised his head again and folded his arms to support my chest, was quite elated.

“Well, it seems that there is no problem with your eyesight, though? Hey, again, in terms of off-white, I never did anything at the academy… … .”

“Then, I will go.”

I left the saintess who had become so conceited and threw herself through the window.

If I went down to the first floor, there was a strong possibility that I would be targeted by senior Elsie who was looking for my arms.

Or I might meet Seria who follows me just a step or two behind me, or Celine who makes a fuss if I try to do anything.

In that case, it was better to endure some shock.

The saintess realized my daring escape belatedly.

“Hey, Ian! where now… aagh! My, I absolutely have to rest… … !”

As soon as she saw me fall, she screamed again.

With a thump, the shock wave shook the inside of my body, and it ache to my bones.

He wouldn’t have been sick if he had been in normal shape, but he only fell from the second floor and used his mana, and it looked like this.

I quickly got up while letting out a soft moan.

Then, he waved to the saintess and signaled that she was fine.

The saintess let me go in the end even though she was crying.

Also, the threat to drink the potion seemed to work.

She is not an easy woman to claim herself, but when I saw her, she was an easy woman no matter where I looked.

So, again, it tasted cute.

I walked straight forward with a sore body. It would be difficult if someone came to hear the screams.

Nine out of ten they’ll try to stop me.

A strange presence followed behind me as I crossed the backyard and headed toward the back mountain.

It was a familiar sign by now.

When I stopped walking, someone’s name leaked out of my mouth.

“… … Senior Neris.”

“Yes, Mr. Ian.”

The shadow fell, revealing the shape of a woman.

She was a beauty with brown hair and dark green eyes.

It was senior Neris, an agent of the Imperial Intelligence Service.

As if not daring to even make eye contact with me, she bowed her head deeply.

It was an attitude of complete submission.

After staring at it for a while, I suddenly remembered a fact I had forgotten.

It just so happened that I had something to say to her.

The swordsmith of the empire was said to belong to the imperial intelligence department.

Then it was clear who would have brought the swordsman.

“Last time, I was indebted.”

Senior Neris didn’t say anything for a moment.

He just raised his head blankly and stared at me, only to bow his head in amazement after our eyes met.

“Oh no! I just followed Ian’s orders… … .”

“So thank you.”

I said it again with a wry smile.

“… … For trusting me without doubt.”

Senior Neris looked away, blushing at the successive compliments.

It seemed that she also had feelings of shame.

I’m human, so it’s natural.

It was a fleeting moment when I was about to take a glance at Neris-senpai and go on my way.

“Are you looking for your sister?”

At the sudden question, my eyes glanced at Neris-senpai.

Senior Neris bowed his head even deeper.

“I tracked down your whereabouts in advance just in case. If you just tell me, I will guide you right away… … .”

“it’s okay.”

I smiled in gratitude and took another step.

“… … I think I know where you are.”

Since he was an older brother, it was normal for him to know at least the movement lines of his younger sister.

I was able to climb the back mountain in no time.

It was already difficult to breathe, probably because the body had not yet recovered.

Only like this, I couldn’t go anywhere and pretend to be an expert.

If you were a student in the fencing department of the academy, you should be able to run around even higher and steeper mountains with a smile.

I could already hear Professor Derek’s loud bruise ringing in my ears.

‘Will, will!’

The first time I heard it, it was a terrible word, but now I understand it a little bit.

yes, will

I climbed the mountain with my already heavy legs.

Crossing the mid-slope, the path to the summit.

I got off the trail at that point and leaked to the side.

And as you walk and walk, you come to a secret place that only the local kids know about.

A flower field with sepia flowers in full bloom.

In the middle of it, a pit was suddenly dug.

A laugh escaped from my mouth.

Anyway, where he came and what he did was obvious.

I sneakily guessed the depth of the pit.

It was deeper than expected.

It meant that Leah was more heartbroken than he thought. Judging from the passage from the pit to the den, Leah seemed very hurt.

So I jumped down the pit.

After that, I cleared the dry leaves blocking the entrance of the burrow and looked inside.

There was a girl crouching down with a trembling body.

Looking at it like this, there was not much difference from wild beasts.

After closing her eyes for a moment in the pouring sunlight, she slowly opened them.

Golden eyes meet golden eyes.

and silence.

Lia froze in place in disbelief.

So I had no choice but to say hello first.

“… … Hi Leah.”

To my younger sister who has recently become thin but is still lovely.

“Have you eaten?”

I repeated a question I once asked.

Lia’s eyes slowly turned red.

It was a sibling reunion in midsummer.
