Love Letter From The Future

6. Proof of Existence (50)

When she came to her senses, the saintess was standing in an unknown place.

My hands were still shaking. Clear brains and the ability to judge the situation soberly were meaningless.

The man you love may die.

The moment that fact filled her mind, the saintess was already insane. Because of that, I didn’t even have time to inquire into the details.

Why do I have to go into hiding?

I couldn’t hear why I shouldn’t ask for help from the Holy Kingdom, or why I shouldn’t call the rest of the academy. It was because every time I raised a question about this, Yuren’s reaction was unusual.

He lowered his voice and said.

“Sister, it is urgent. For now, you have to trust me and follow me.”

The face of the man who said that was harder than ever. As if Ian would die immediately if the hidden side of this secret story was revealed.

If it had been someone else, he would have snorted and told me not to laugh.

But isn’t the opponent Yuren, whom he has grown up with since childhood? It was an existence that could be called the only family for the saintess who was born as an orphan.

In addition, the saintess had no way to calm her burning heart.

Ian is dying

Just imagining it made my hands tremble. I had never imagined a future without him.

Wouldn’t it be better to have a family and live in the future?

Love sometimes makes fools of even the brightest men.

Even the saintess was not free from that ancient curse. The journey, not even knowing the destination, continued for half a day, and eventually the place we reached was this small cabin.

It was a remote place, even in the mountains where no one knew.

I couldn’t even figure out why the cabin was located in such a remote area. At first glance, I thought it might be a place prepared as a ‘hideout’.

But out of nowhere, why in hiding?

It was around the time when the saintess’ eyebrows narrowed slightly as she recalled this question.

“… … Im here.”

Hearing Yuren’s low voice, the saintess jumped back to her senses.

There was no room for distraction. First of all, saving Ian was an urgent priority.

It’s not too late to think about the rest after that.

The saintess carefully lowered her voice and asked.

“So, what does this place have to do with Ian?”

“As I said, Shylock’s office was the leader of the Dark Church.”

It was a companion that lasted for half a day. No matter how much the saintess lost her temper, she had enough time to figure out the circumstances.

It was an approximate story at that time.

As the saintess remained silent as if to speak quickly, Yuren continued her testimony without interruption.

“We followed them and found their hideout. It was reversed while raiding there.”

“How did you come back?”

The saintess’ tone went down as she was sure that no one was around.

After all, they had been close friends since childhood. There was no reason to keep the engineering college.

Even so, Yuren did not give up honorific language until the end. In fact, considering the hierarchical relationship between the two, this was the right course of action.

Yuren was just an escort knight. She never reached the level of a saintess.

There was a heaven-to-earth gap between superiors being comfortable with their subordinates and subordinates being comfortable with their bosses.

However, Yuren did not show a rigid response.

“Of course, I ran away before that… Who am I?”

At that mischievous remark, the saintess smiled faintly.

Hey, it’s been like that since before.

From an early age, Yuren used to be especially good at detecting danger. Should I say that she was born with survival instinct? The saintess benefited from it quite a few times.

That’s why I was appointed as an ‘escort knight’.

Even though you can create a title as many times as you like. Embracing these feelings, the saintess slowly shook her head.

It was a fight that I couldn’t stop.

“I’m glad you’re back too. So, is this cabin the hiding place?”

“I’m assuming it’s like a prison cell where Ian and his colleagues are confined.”

Hmm, the saintess’ eyes narrowed as she made a strange noise.

The cabin had a pretty decent exterior. It was proof that it had been under constant care and not neglected for a long time. At least it seemed clear that someone had visited this place recently.

Ahead of the saintess who seemed more prudent, Yuren answered the saintess’ questions one by one as if she had waited.

“It was a situation where we did not know how far the power of the Dark Church could reach. What if the Dark Church found out that they had requested support from the Holy Land?”

“You mean the hostages could be in danger?”

“At the same time, I could not delay any longer. What the hostage might be doing is unknown territory.”

The saintess silently nodded as she listened to the explanation.

It was a story that made sense. In fact, strictly speaking, there were points where additional explanations were needed, but the saintess was in a very nervous state right now.

The hostage might be up to something.

Yuren’s remarks made my heart feel heavy. The saintess tried to calm down her desire to enter the cabin right away and asked the person she trusted the most.

“How about this place?”

A curious gaze turned to the saintess. Meeting those eyes, the woman smiled mischievously.

“Does it look dangerous? As you know, I am particularly insensitive to this kind of thing.”

“Yes, it was… Instead, there were a lot of doubts.”

Yuren shook his head while bursting into a dejected laugh.

“… … I think you can go in.”

Only then did the saintess sigh and calm her trembling heart.

To be honest, the saintess’ fighting ability was not high. However, the darkness could not overcome the light, and the holy woman’s enormous divine power would be of great help in the fight against the Dark Church.

Just like that, the saintess had just taken a step into the cabin.

right, do

A white thunderbolt struck.

Oh, while I was doing it, a dull shock was transmitted from the back of my neck. Unfocused light pink eyes turned to the back.

It was good even if it was some kind of instinct.

As for why he had to fall unconscious, there was only one place where his eyes stopped moving to find the culprit.

Stunning green eyes gleamed in the air.

The saintess’ thoughts stopped for an instant.

A sword was in Yuren’s hand. The weapon, which could not even remove its scabbard, turned into a blunt weapon and struck the saintess from behind.

Truly an invisible quicksword.

He was a master of the quicksword, called the ‘thunderbolt of Ciendel’.

However, as a saintess, she could not understand the situation at all.

Why, the saintess desperately wanted to ask.

“Anyway, it’s because you’re dull.”

That voice mixed with a sigh was the last one.

The saintess had lost her mind.

The saintess was startled and opened her eyes.

It felt like a nightmare. For Yuren to stab him in the back, there was a degree to his unrealistic assumptions.

The saintess swallowed a laugh and rubbed her eyes.

My body felt light, probably because I was lying in a soft place. The body, which had been resting for a long time, was full of vitality.

But even this is for a while.

The saintess’ arm, which was trying to stretch while yawning, stopped. It was because there was a clicking sound that could not be heard.

The saintess’ eyes blankly turned to my wrist.

A strange accessory was located there. It was metal wrapped around the saintess’ wrist like a bracelet. The twisted wire connected to it was firmly fixed to the wall.

It was a prison term. It’s also quite luxurious.

Only then did the surrounding scenery begin to form on the saintess’ retinas.

Light poured in from the lights on the ceiling. A soft bed, a variety of furniture, and a neatly arranged room, but this was only part of it.

A space beyond that that is not divided by doors or walls.

The outside of the range where the saintess could work with restraints was dyed achromatic. The empty underground cave created even a bleak atmosphere.

More than anything else, this smell passed the saintess’ nose.

It was the smell of blood. It was already after the cleaning was finished, but it seemed that even the traces could not be erased.

where a lot of blood was shed.

It meant that it was never a positive place. Realizing this, the saintess’s downy hair stood on end.

Where the hell is this place?

The answer to that question was not far away.

It was because the languid words of greeting rang in the saintess’ ears.

“Are you awake, sister?”

The saintess’ gaze hurriedly turned to the epicenter. There stood a man leaning against the wall, holding a sword sheath in his bosom.

No, should I say man?

The swordsman’s appearance with jade-colored hair gave off a strangely unfamiliar feeling. The slim jawline, curves of the body, and overall atmosphere were the same.

whether it’s a man or a woman

I couldn’t figure it out. The saintess had to open her eyes wide at the unfamiliar sensation.

We had seen each other countless times since childhood. I thought the gender was obvious, but when I met the mysterious green eyes, I felt that my long-held beliefs were shaken from the root.

Yuren, the only member of the saintess’s family, smiled lightly.

“You have to stay here for a while. It’s too dangerous outside… When all problems are resolved, we will release them.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

However, the saintess’ panic was short-lived.

It was because the feeling of crying was bigger than that. Anyone would do that if they were beaten in the back of the head out of nowhere, passed out, and locked up in an unknown place.

“Is it too dangerous outside? why do you decide that Also, what Ian said was dangerous… … !”

“I wasn’t lying.”

Heh, Yuren laughed and shrugged.

“Ian was defeated by the Dark Church’s attack. It is also true that he was dragged somewhere in a dying state. Where it is, I’m not sure… … .”

“Then you?”

It was a half-word that flowed out through clenched teeth.

Yuren’s gaze was blindly directed at the saintess. Even so, the saintess did not hide her rising anger in the slightest.

“Then how did you come back? Why don’t you go to the rescue… … .”

“Because I attacked.”

drop, do

The saintess’ speech was closed.
