Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 289
◈ 289. [Side Story] Dance Festival (2)
“They say fun times pass quickly.”
Lily muttered, shaking the drink glass in her hand..
“The festival is already over..”
The sun has already set.
However, the Central Square of Crossroads is brightly lit and still full of people singing and dancing happily..
As Lily watched the people enjoying the last days of the festival, Godhand, holding the wheelchair behind Lily, chimed in..
“That's right. Lily. It passed quickly.”
Lily smiled and looked up at God Hand..
“The festival was fun, God Hand.?”
“sure. I've never had such a fun festival in my life..”
Godhand, who was smiling, had his hair torn here and there, and even a few strands were charred and looked unsightly..
It was the result of being scolded by Lily on the first night of the festival. He was smiling like that, so I felt a little foolish..
‘Anyway, since then, they've been focusing on me.…….’
I don’t think I need to scold you anymore..
Lily secretly put down skill 1 [Fire Cannon], which she had secretly stored in her magic furnace..
Anyway, I think carrying this around was a bit excessive.…….
Godhand, who was carefully observing Lily's thoughts, hesitated and asked..
“Lily, did you really enjoy it??”
“huh?”
“that… … It's my first time on a date.…….”
Godhand looked embarrassed and scratched the back of his head..
“I wonder if you didn't enjoy the time you spent with me... … I was worried.”
“…….”
“I'm not very... … Because I’m not a fun guy…….”
Lily looked at God Hand, who didn't know what to do even after spitting it out herself, and then laughed..
“I like just being with you.”
Lily didn't expect much from her lover..
In the same space, seeing the same scenery, experiencing the same things, and making the same memories..
That alone was enjoyable enough. So much so that the last two days disappeared in an instant.
“…….”
God Hand, who was looking down at Lily as if fascinated, slowly came in front of Lily's wheelchair..
“Me, Lee, Lily!”
“huh?”
After stuttering and hesitating, I slowly got down on one knee..
“Although it seems a little late to say this now! Still, even now!”
Godhand urgently took something out of his arms..
It was a short metal rod. It was an unsightly, clunky lump of iron..
But at Godhand's fingertips, the metal rod instantly blossomed into a single rose. It was a feat he could do because he was a metal master, Godhand..
Lily looks at this amazing sight in fascination.,
“Me, me and… … Please date formally.!”
Godhand said, closing his eyes tightly and holding out the metal rose..
“forever… … No, you don’t know yet whether it will be a lifetime or not! Anyway, I will make you happy while we are together.-!”
Instead of speaking, God Hand bit his lip..
I spoke so urgently that I ended up chewing my lip. Godhand was embarrassed and hurt, but somehow managed to finish his confession..
“Do it, I will make you happy... … all.”
“…….”
Lily, who was looking at God Hand with an absurd expression on her face, burst into laughter briefly..
“show me your lips.”
“yes?”
“My lips seem to be bleeding. show me.”
Godhand put his face forward in a daze. Lily held his chin and looked at his bruised lips.,
side.
I kissed him lightly on the lips..
“……?!”
God Hand’s face immediately turned bright red. Lily grinned as she faced him with her equally red face..
“I like dating. Instead, I promise you just one thing.”
“Uh, what kind of promise is this??”
“Don't lie to me in the future. No matter what the unavoidable situation, tell me only the truth. … … I can promise you?”
Godhand nodded without hesitation..
“of course. my lady.”
The two people laughed awkwardly and looked at each other for a while..
When the mood was about to get better,.
Uddangtang! thud!
There was a sudden sound of something collapsing next to me..
Surprised, Godhand and Lily looked to the side and saw a trash can in the corner of the square, along with a battered body bag and a burnout..
It looks like he was secretly watching from behind and accidentally fell.…….
“Huh! Sorry, sorry! Hehe, I didn't mean to steal it.!”
Body Bag quickly stood up and waved his arms with a thoughtful expression on his face..
“Well, I'm just worried! I was worried about whether Godhand, who was a motherfucker, would be able to date properly... … ! So I just tried to follow you……!”
Nod nod!
Next to me, Burnout nodded urgently..
Anyway, the good mood disappeared in an instant. The moment God Hand, who was in despair, was about to beat his two younger brothers.,
“Come here, body bag. burnout.”
Lily, who was covering her mouth and laughing, gestured..
“let's hang out together.”
Surprised, Body Bag and Burnout opened their eyes wide..
“yes? but…….”
“God Hand is your older brother and older brother, right? So now that Godhand and I are dating, we have to see each other more often..”
Lily gestured to the two elves..
“Let's be friendly. Now, let’s spend the rest of the festival together..”
Bodybag and Burnout, who were looking at each other, carefully came next to Lily and Godhand..
Godhand looked sorry for Lily, but Lily didn't care..
Even though it feels like I'm already having younger siblings.
Well, it wasn't bad.
pop! Pubung-!
At that time, a few rays of fireworks flew over the central square of Crossroads and scattered, scattering sparks. Surprised body bag pointed his hand up and shouted.
“It's a firecracker!”
“Is it true? It's fireworks!”
That was the beginning. Fireworks launched from all over the city decorated the sky of Crossroads with colors..
Lily, who was quietly looking up at the scene, muttered..
“The end of the fall festival is, of course, fireworks..”
They were small, simple fireworks, like fireworks from cities in rural areas..
but it was beautiful.
People gathered in the square cheered and looked up at the fireworks. Body Bag and Burnout jumped up and ran under the flames..
Looking at the scene, Lily quietly stretched out her hand and grabbed Godhand's hand, squeezing it tightly..
Godhand's long ears turned red. It made her noticeably cute, so Lily covered her mouth and laughed.
‘I like this about elves.’
I discovered an unexpected advantage.
“See you again next year, fireworks.”
Godhand responded with a smile to Lily's low whisper..
“Yes, next year too. please.”
***
Pubung-! pop-!
fireworks rise.
I was sitting on a mat in the corner of the square, pouring and drinking with my party members, and looked up in surprise. What are you doing??!
Evangeline, who was chewing grilled squid, looked at the sky with a bright face..
“Ah, it's fireworks time.!”
“fireworks time?”
“The end of the fall festival. It's a tradition to end with fireworks..”
There was such a tradition. That's a pretty hot ending..
“Well, it's smaller than the enormous fireworks display in the Imperial Capital, so it's natural for you to be embarrassed..”
“Oh no, that wasn't my intention at all.…….”
I'm a corner gamer to begin with, so I'm not used to this kind of insider culture.…….
Anyway, everyone who was talking noisily on the mat raised their heads and looked at the sky..
And I quietly looked at the colorful, magical fireworks..
Kelly Baedo and his assistant Hannibal.
Kuilan and the Punishment Unit. Verdandi and the Holy Grail Exploration Team. God Hand and Shadow Troops. and lily.
Margerita and all the other heroes, as well as many soldiers..
And even the main party members next to me. Everyone is. Gaze at the fireworks festival.
“…….”
I looked not at the flames, but at the faces of people looking up at the flames.
After the festival is over, we will have to return to our daily lives of fighting monsters..
However, these memories of a peaceful time.
It will become a solid anchor that will keep your tired heart from drifting away..
That's how people gain the strength to live one year, another year, over and over again..
“It was fun, fall festival..”
“Hi-Hi. Yes?”
“I'm looking forward to next year too.!”
As I muttered, Evangeline and Damien smiled brightly and said,.
“next year… … Ira.”
Junior smiled bitterly and put a bear bag in his mouth.,
“…….”
Lucas just watched the spreading flames in silence..
It was then.
“majesty.”
I heard a refreshing voice coming from outside the square, and when I looked in that direction, I saw Serenade standing there..
Under the lights of colorful fireworks, Serenade, with her water-colored hair blowing in the autumn wind, looked like a mermaid..
Even though it has no scales or tail.
It seemed like she had a refreshing scent that felt like wave foam scattering around her..
I quickly stood up and stood in front of Serenade..
“serenade. You worked really hard throughout this festival..”
I scratched the back of my neck shyly.
“You worked hard, but I think I just had fun thanks to you. Sorry.”
“Hehe, you're welcome. I did this in hopes that your highness would have a good time..”
Serenade smiles with round silver eyes! She made a noise and put one of her hands forward..
“majesty. Well, I worked hard throughout this festival... … Then will you give me a prize??”
“of course. what do you want?”
I asked back with a grin, and suddenly I remembered what Serenade had asked me before..
So... … seeds, seeds…….
‘Big, big!’
If it's not that kind of thing, I'd be willing to listen..
Slightly nervous, I waited for Serenade's answer..
Then Serenade giggled, took a step closer to me, and stretched out her hand..
“Will you dance a song with me??”
“huh? I'm talking about dancing?”
“yes. The day of the dance festival isn't over yet.?”
Her face was red as she boldly made the request. Am I a little nervous?.
After being blank for a moment, I burst into laughter and slowly stood in front of Serenade, clasping my hands together..
“willing, partner.”
pop… … . Pubung……!
Under the lights of firecrackers,
Now people's attention is fixed on the sky. Hiding out of sight. Not in the center of the square, but in a corner.
We began to dance a slow waltz.
There was no music, no chandeliers, no carpets. This had its own charm.
Perhaps because we had been working together for a long time in the Imperial Capital, we continued dancing smoothly..
Serenade, who was happy in my arms with a bright red face, whispered softly..
“majesty.”
“huh?”
“Remember, a few days ago, I said I had something important to say to you.?”
I remember.
The first day Serenade arrived here at Crossroads. Serenade said this with a determined expression..
- I have something to say to His Majesty the Prince in person..
Those words that you had to convey to me in person, from the Imperial Capital to this Crossroads, all the way all the way..
The real reason she visited this southern remote area.
But perhaps because I didn't have a chance to be alone, I couldn't tell you until now..
I swallowed dry saliva. What on earth are you trying to tell me??
‘No way, go, go, confess?’
Ah, I'm not mentally ready yet... … ! Even when I think about it myself, it seems like a mastery, but I really have no tolerance for this kind of thing.……!
Serenade looked around with a slightly nervous expression. there is no one next to us.
After waltzing around and around several times to make sure there were no ears to hear, Serenade quietly whispered into my ear..
“……A reversal is in progress..”
Thinking hardened.
Suddenly, I couldn't understand what was being said. I blinked my eyes blankly and asked shakily..
“what?”
“A treason is underway on the ecliptic, Your Majesty..”
Serenade whispered clearly into my ear one more time with an extremely serious face..
“2His Highness Prince Fernández is trying to start a rebellion.……!”
