Love Letter From The Future

Chapter 350

5. Bread and dagger (48)

The body was slowly rising.

It was a contradiction that wasn’t even funny.

There was no sense in the floating body. Sight, hearing, and touch had long since ceased. The senses of smell and taste were the same.

It was normal to not notice anything.

But why do I feel a sense of floating?

The process of realizing this was natural. Like a child taking her first steps, I noticed that my body was emerging.

It was a sudden realization.

The fuse of the accident was pulled. The solid lines of burning questions awakened my mind one after another. The more I did, the more I had to fall into a strange sensation.

My body was so light.

I had a decisive battle with the Snow Leopard Mine. In the process, he was also injured, and if not fatal, his body wasn’t full of vitality.

Then my vision brightened.

No, can I say that it has become brighter?

It was a space where only darkness existed. Even though there was no light source, the view was clear and sharp. This meant that the laws of physics did not apply.

It was a landscape I had seen before.

Scenes sent out from cracks engraved here and there, and a chair located in the center. And even the man who is silent with his back turned.

As I jumped up, the man’s nonchalant eyes turned to me.

It was a very tired look.

Except for this, it was a person with the same features as mine. It’s as if you’re looking into a mirror.

That was all I had to do.

Because the man was ‘me’.

He just came to me with some kind of mission from the distant future.

The man spoke in an emotionless voice, as always.

“It’s nice.”

It was an outright mockery.

The tone was really flat, so I didn’t even get angry.

I sighed and sat down on the spot.

“What happened?”

“The information I can find here is limited. Other than that you lost consciousness because of something you did.”

With those words, the chair the man was sitting on spun around.

It doesn’t even have wheels, but the change of direction was very smooth. I realized again that this is a space where the laws of reality do not apply.

Could it be that I am dead?

At the last moment, the Snow Leopard Mine spoke to me. He said he wanted to return to the arms of his compatriots.

It was not known what the outcome of that wish would be.

I wish I could have escaped death, but when I woke up here, it was clear that I had at least lost consciousness.

The man seemed to read my worried expression.

He, who had been silently watching me, let out a low voice.

“… … Not dead.”

My eyes turned to the man. He still looked calm, but slightly averted my gaze.

As if this situation where you have to reassure me is annoying.

“Because then I wouldn’t be here… And you can’t see me if you’re completely gone. This is the boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness.”

“Boundary between conscious and unconscious?”

“Yes, to be precise, it is the boundary of everything. Past and future, my world and your world, consciousness and unconsciousness… … .”

It was a somewhat complicated story.

However, I intuited that my body was slowly fading. It meant that I didn’t have much time to stay.

Maybe it’s because the wound wasn’t that big?

I had no intention of missing out on an opportunity that had been around for a long time.

“Elf, elves believed in a cult! There was a traitor in the Yurdina family!”

I had to scrape together as much information as possible.

That man should have already known the answer.

“What the hell is going on up north? What else is the Dark Church plotting… … !”

“I can’t speak.”

However, my request was quickly denied.

The man rested his chin on his face with a sullen expression.

“I told you, I can’t help you any more… Even if you don’t, you have to be careful for a while, but they come out of nowhere and ask for information now?”

It was not wrong.

But I knew

Even if you don’t directly convey the information, if you convey it in a way like a metaphor, the consumption of that ‘power’ will be greatly reduced.

So I opened my mouth again.

“A lot of people have already died! The Yurdina Islands, the Elves… And I also killed But even clues… … .”

“Son.”

That one word that was thrown out with a bang.

However, the weight contained in it was not light. The gaze of the man looking down at me was serious.

“I am not your babysitter… I can’t help you and take care of you every time. You have already taken a different path from me. So you have to shoulder the responsibility as well.”

With a click, the man’s free hand tapped the armrest of the chair.

It’s called ‘responsibility’.

I felt choked and breathless at the weight of the word.

“Do you know why I can’t help you? You forcibly called me out during the past incident, and even spyed on my memories at random. The result is this.”

Every single word he uttered was plain, but there was nothing that did not pierce my heart.

In the end, I couldn’t argue and had to bite my lip.

“The same goes for the elves you killed, kid… Are you sick?”

Are you sick?

It was unpleasant and sad. However, it was ambiguous whether to call it pain, so the moment I was about to shake my head.

The man glanced at me.

As soon as I looked at the spot he was pointing at, I had no choice but to shut my mouth again.

“It will hurt.”

My hands were already drenched in blood.

I wonder why I hadn’t noticed that until now.

“That is the responsibility. The guilt you will have to carry for the rest of your life… You’re pretending that you’re okay because your assimilation rate has increased, but you’re still just a kid. I don’t even know how to take responsibility.”

Then, I cried, and there was a fire that hit my throat and rose up.

What is ‘responsibility’?

How can you hold me accountable?

I was just a middle-lower student living content with my circumstances. After graduating, he would have become a vassal or enlisted in the central army.

Then one day, a letter flew into my life without permission.

My life changed completely from that day.

There were many times when his bones were crushed and he vomited blood.

I borrowed the help of the future, but it was me who had to endure the sharp pain.

There were times when I couldn’t even breathe because of the fear of death and the pressure that the world might end if I was defeated.

I did my best.

In a short time of less than a year, I threw my whole body and did not collapse. But why am I just a ‘child’?

Unable to take it any longer, my mouth let out the heat.

“Then what more?!”

The man’s heavy gaze reached me. Facing those golden eyes, I let out old emotions.

“I did my best in my own way, you’ve been sick so hard… But does it have to be more painful and difficult than this? How the hell?”

“You have to look at the floor.”

But, as always, the man’s answer was clear.

enough to disappoint.

“Are you sick and tired? you took responsibility? no, no… You’ve just picked the less painful option so far. Aren’t you afraid that people around you will get hurt and the world will end because of you?”

“Does that ease my pain?”

“No, I mean look at the bottom and come.”

With those words as a signal, the man slowly stood up.

After reaching this space, it was the first time he had stood upright.

And the man who slightly bent his knees and met my eyes.

“Unlike you, there are many lives without even options. I’m not as strong as you, and I’m not as lucky! come see it… Otherwise, we cannot win in Delphirem.”

What did you mean by that, when I was about to ask.

With a sigh, my body fell through the floor.

The bottom of the broken window was scattered into fragments. Falling endlessly, I saw nothing but golden eyes looking down at me.

fall and fall.

There wasn’t even time to scream. It was after my physical freedom was blocked before I knew it.

I regained my body a few seconds later.

“… … Huh!”

And I struggled, breathing heavily.

I felt like I was coming to my senses now. My five senses returned, and dry, cold air filled my lungs.

It was a shabby dwelling.

It looked like a warehouse, but there were traces of soldering in places. It means that it has been used for a long time.

Or maybe it was poorly built in the first place.

Fortunately, a primitive stone and clay oven was located in the center. Otherwise I might have frozen to death in the northern cold.

Swallowing my moan, I looked around a bit more.

No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t a good treatment.

It was like that from the point that it was tied up in a shabby warehouse and left unattended in the first place. Normally, I would have had them rest in a warm house.

But my current situation, yes.

The expression of being locked up was more appropriate.

It was fortunate that he didn’t die, but that didn’t stop his heart from becoming clogged.

A long sigh escaped from my mouth.

What else is waiting for you?

Fortunately, I was not alone. Next to me lay down Avian, who looked just like me.
