“wow.”
This is Heewon. A tall beauty wearing a loose hoodie and black leggings..
“I'm wearing a skirt?”
Heewon's gaze towards Soha shows surprise and laughter..
“It's so refreshing. I always do that kind of thing..”
A quick step. A hand adjusting the skirt. dead pan. Red lips that attract attention open.
“What are you doing? There is no one who can see well.”
“Then today?”
“Seungsu oppa is here..”
The club room became noisy. Young people laugh easily.
I found it a little difficult.
“haha.”
The laughter it made was funny. I'm afraid that my awkwardness will be revealed. A person named Kim Seung-su did not blend in well with this atmosphere..
As always, Hee-won was the first to notice the footsteps around the corner..
“I want to go see the stage?”
“Is there anything to see? Construction hasn't started?”
“Isn't this your first time in an amphitheater?.”
“……Amphitheater? It's not a small theater?”
“huh. “I’m doing this play with Yeonyoung.” Yeon Yeonggwara.
“Have you seen the actors? Half of them are Yeonyoung and the kids. Jeong So-ha, I heard she’s also taking a few acting majors..”
Join Yeong and learn in a club play..
“……It's not like bringing professional players to early soccer, that's it.?”
A loud laugh and a pat on the shoulder. It's a cross section of memories.
“That's not neat! When it comes to entertainment, I'm only in my first or second year, so what kind of program is this? And our kids are doing pretty well, too.” The chat continued. Heewon and I walked slowly like we did a few years ago..
Small theater, student center, 108 stairs, Central Island West Building, windy hill... … . Nostalgic cross-sections are piled up thickly throughout the campus..
By the time our footsteps passed the gym, the subway, and reached the studio apartment. I felt like I was suffocating from memories..
Finally, I let out the words I had been holding back..
“I want to meet again?”
“no.”
Even though she was busy putting on her clothes, her reaction was quite immediate..
“This is just fine, we.”
While I was choosing my words, a loud bell rang. Heewon answered the phone with a stern expression and smiled brightly..
“who is this?”
“You don't need to know.”
Leaving a familiar answer, she left the studio apartment..
A purple scent lingered at the tip of my nose. I quietly closed my eyes, and soon the world broke apart..
Facing the setting sun, Atalanta quietly looked around the clan..
Dozens of tents were spread out across the mountainside and plains. It is a light-hearted village with a fence made of dangling wagons..
“Windy! west coast-”
The sounds of children singing could be heard from somewhere between the tents. It was heavenly music that made us forget the poverty and hardships of wandering life..
“Raise the sails, go! to our hometown 99
Atalanta wanted to be among the children. I wanted to laugh, sing, and dance with them..
“Golden sun! Blow your breath-”
She was very good at dancing and singing.
It was the result of training. Although the training was so painful that a normal child would have hated her accomplishments, Atalanta still enjoyed dancing and loved singing..
“Beyond the rough waves!”
“to our hometown……
A small murmur was scattered in the wind. Atalanta quietly swept her arms..
‘It's fall soon.’
she hurried her steps.
“miss.”
“rubio.”
As the middle-aged warrior bowed his head briefly, Atalanta asked with a smile..
“What about the elders??”
“We are gathered in Asun. As he left, Atalanta glanced sideways behind him..
Two men wearing thick armor were greeting her with expressionless faces. Called 'Hares Kiss', they were the sacred guards that protected Asun and were the clan's elite warriors..
Atalanta's gaze as she glanced at them was extremely cold..
‘soulless puppets.’
She whispered softly to Rubio..
“Talk to you later. First, gather warriors with Agos..”
“……You mean warriors??”
“Come on. I will convince Asun..”
“All right.”
After passing the middle-aged man, Atalanta arrived at a huge and luxurious tent..
‘The word 'asun' refers to a meeting of clan chiefs and elders and the place where the meeting takes place..
This huge tent in front of Atalanta was Asun..
“Phew.”
Atalanta let out a short sigh and knelt in front of the tent..
“‘Al-Qadari's daughter Atilia asks to join Asun..”
There was no response from the tent to her words. For a moment, a faint voice was heard..
“Come in.”
Hareskis, standing guard at the entrance, rolled up a cloth dyed light green..
Atalanta entered Asun with kneeling steps. The bellowing Hares Kisses ran ahead of her at a slow pace. Inside the tent, eight figures were sitting in a circle. They were the leaders of 'Al Qadari', the largest clan of the 'Nouvoa' sect..
“I'm honored to be in Asun..”
The eight leaders did not respond to Atalanta's bow. Instead, he listened to the report of Hareskis, who had greeted Atalanta at the mountain lodge..
After Hareskis' report was over, the grizzled middle-aged man sitting in the center opened his mouth..
“Atilia.”
“Yes, clan chieftain..”
“why didn't you kill me?”
“……there was no chance.”
Before he could finish speaking, an elder intervened..
“lie.”
An old man with countless wrinkles etched into his face twitched his nose..
“lie. Jiamo, Atilia is lying..”
“I guess so..”
When clan leader Jiamo nodded at the old man's words, Atalanta quickly shook her head..
“It's not a lie. He is a powerful warrior who wields the power of blood.,”
“So you didn't give him poison? A poison that can kill twenty warriors!”
“As you know, such poison is difficult to deal with. A warrior with such keen senses would have definitely noticed..”
The other elders burst into laughter at Atalanta's excuse..
“under. I heard you had a belly button with him. Did I hear wrong??”
“Answer me, Atilia..”
“……you're right.”
“Is there anyone easier to deal with than a man in an affair??”
As the hook-nosed old woman sarcastically quipped, Atalanta pursed her lips and then lowered her head..
“sorry. However, to kill him, you had to risk your life. How much gold would I risk my life for?-”
“Did you say gold and silver?!”
The clan chief suddenly roared..
“Atilia! The money you threw away was saved by the blood and sweat of your clan members. This is money earned by selling your sword, body, and pride! But what about gold and silver?!”
Atalanta internally ground her teeth at the solemn shout of clan leader Jiamo. Because she was the one who shed the most blood and sweat in the clan..
Atalanta swallowed her sorrow and opened her mouth..
““I am also one of the clan members who shed blood and sweat.” “You foolish thing, are you just like an ordinary clan member? “You are a daughter of salvation and a warrior who will lead our people in the future!” When Atalanta fell silent, the elders spoke one by one..
“How can you be entrusted with such a big task if you have no sense of responsibility?.”
“It's unfortunate. Is it true that such an innocent person is the daughter of salvation?.”
“So we have to control it well. Atilia is so stupid.”
“It's because I've only focused on martial arts and catching since I was young. Tsk, I can't teach that again..”
This period of ‘affectionate reprimand’, which she had received endlessly over the past 23 years, was quite familiar to her..
Atalanta quietly lowered her head..
At moments like these, she would sing to herself. By the time I sang three or four songs, I was able to raise my head..
But unlike usual, Atalanta repeated a prophecy instead of singing..
- Become stronger. Kill six. Become a daughter of salvation. Then I'll be free.
Recalling the prophecy, she thought of Phoenix..
- Become stronger. Kill six. Become a daughter of salvation. Then I'll be free.
Rough and soft touches, hot and fascinating breath, and firm and warm arms.
I remembered.
- Become stronger. Kill six. Become a daughter of salvation. Then I'll be free.
When the elders' reprimands became closer to personal attacks, Atalanta smiled quietly..
““I managed to find this way.” Scribe Veldin responded to my small self-talk, breathing heavily..
“*sigh* I told you that. The soldiers are, *gasp* natives of Longville, *gasp* silence..”
“……I don’t want to hear it, so just shut up and walk..”
“Yes, *hehe*.”
"Kid, shut your mouth..”
I looked back at the group, leaving Veldin behind, who had kept his mouth shut..
A group of eight or five people was walking along a path in the twilight forest. Starting with Utequai at the very end, Amias' gang and Siren's group were holding their breath..
Suddenly, blue-haired Moses made eye contact with me and trembled. When I smile, her trembling doubles..
“what's the matter?”
“huh? no, nothing.”
Ellen, who was riding a horse, glanced back and asked calmly:.
“I was watching Simos.?”
“……uh? Well, yes, but.”
“Hmm.”
The guy nodded quietly, holding on to the saddle. I, who had been Ellen's chaperon, thoughtlessly stroked the horse's head and straightened the reins..
“Let's cheer up a little more. Because it will arrive soon.”
As the spotted cat purred softly, I took out a carrot from the saddle and fed it to him..
Ellen, who was quietly watching what I was doing, suddenly opened her mouth..
“Remember what I said last time??”
“……Um, something?”
“What I said the first night I arrived in Longville. When I first met Amias' kids.”
“Wasn't it almost two weeks ago??”
“20It was a day ago. Because today is the end of August.”
“Has it already happened like that?.”
I shrugged, scratching under the helmet I had temporarily bought..
“What did you say then??”
“I told you to be careful because you might get sick..”
It's a disease?
“……Oh, is that it? When you got jealous and made a fuss?”
Ellen frowned slightly..
“I wasn't jealous, I didn't make a fuss..”
“I'm not talking about when you roll your eyes when you see Mira and me talking.?”
“……I didn't turn a blind eye.”
“You turned the tavern upside down with magic. You rolled your eyes, right?.”
Ellen pouted quietly at my humorous words..
“He said he didn't remember.”
“I remember because you said it. But why?”
“……just. Remember what I said.”
I let out a quick laugh..
“That, don’t get involved with ‘nonsense’?”
“okay.”
“Aren’t your standards a bit harsh? Mira and Simos aren't that bad..”
Ellen laughed at my words..
“Don't talk nonsense. That's not an ugly face?”
“If you look at it carefully, it's not that bad, is it??”
“……I should have just left it alone when the eye burned. It's useless anyway.”
I laughed heartily because the guy who was so sarcastic was cute..
“Isn’t it too harsh to say it’s useless??”
“I don't have eyes for aesthetics, but they're useless, right?.”
“Hey, what does aesthetic sense mean??”
Ellen frowned as if she didn't know that either..
“……Are you asking because you don’t know? It's an eye for finding beautiful things..”
“okay. So, it's not that I don't have aesthetic sense, it's just that I like it so much..”
“what?”
“Because I have such a good sense of aesthetics, I can find beauty in everyone..”
Ellen said, 'What is this body?' He was looking down at me with that gaze. I shrugged my shoulders and continued..
“It seems like you don't know because you live in another world, but the world needs people like me..”
“……why?”
“Imagine that not all people in the world have a sense of aesthetics. What will happen??”
“What happens??”
“Even beautiful people will disappear. Because no one can recognize beautiful things.”
When Ellen gave me a confused look, I grinned and got to the point..
“Well, you'll be fine. Regardless of your aesthetic sense, you are pretty to anyone who sees you..”
“……uh, what is that.”
“But does it mean that a vaguely handsome and pretty person just becomes nothing? How sad is that??”
Ellen, sensing the implications of my words, blushed and lowered her head..
“So, use your mind a little more broadly. A kid who looks like you gets jealous and people make fun of him.”
“Really, you just say weird things.……
By the time Ellen quieted down, the group had reached the end of the trail. Beyond the shrouded bushes, the bottom of the ridge came into view..
“……Hey, Veldin. how did this happen
hey?”
“Me too, I don’t know either, sir..”
The young scribe took a long breath and held his forehead..
“It wasn't like this until we came out..”
I looked down the mountain in silence. Dark brown stains tightly surrounded Longville..
Archer Cole, who climbed up the tree, spoke in a small but clear voice..
“This is Anupad.”
“I know that. How many will there be??”
Cole was silent for about 3 or 4 minutes before giving an answer..
“It will definitely exceed five hundred..”
I barely managed to swallow a curse..
