Pick Me Up-Episode 308
# 308
308.Epilogue1. Taonier
A starry sky hung with a carved moon.
Friar sat on a chair installed on the terrace and looked at the landscape outside.
Capital of the Millennial Empire, Bardia.
In commemoration of the 10th year that Priasis Al Ragnar rose to the emperor's seat, the street There was a grand festival going on..
Bright magic lights are lit everywhere, lighting the roads, and cheerful music In the midst of the flow, citizens, men and women, gather to dance Danced and sang.
"Haa……."
Friar caught the glass..
A bitter liquid flowed down her throat.
'10year.'
Ten years have already passed since she was crowned..
It was once an empire that was suffering from war, but now it's getting more and more The wound was hurting, too..
"Your majesty, are you here?."
Friar looked back.
A man in abbreviated armor walked through the curtains and came in, telling her I bowed my head..
"Is it Yoshu?."
"Example."
A man named Yoshura stood behind Friar's back..
The man's gaze glanced at the city.
"……There was a lot of work."
"That's right. I still remember vividly.."
Friar smiled and looked at his thugs.
That man's name is Yoshu Knantze. He was a pipsqueak commoner, but he was with Friar. He led this war to victory, and now he is the head of the Imperial Guard Corps. He was a standing figure..
"See the people enjoying the festival. If It wasn't for your majesty, they would still be suffering."
"Do you think so?."
"Of course, your majesty.."
Black War.
10It was the name of a disaster that shook the entire Taonier a year ago..
Everywhere, an unidentified monster called "shrapnel" is killed in absentia It began to sweep across the continent..
'War.'
Priasis recalled the past.
The war ended with Taunier's victory.
All races on the continent, including humans, joined forces to drive them out Will.
'Was it a fight that would end so briefly.'
As her memory,
Clear,
"……."
Friar frowned..
Sometimes strange memories come to mind.
I remember when she had never been through it..
"But, your majesty, are you not going back to the President??"
"You mean the ballroom??"
"The main character of this festival is Her Majesty"
"When I went to that place, what would I do?."
"Lord Iolka, the court wizard, is said to have prepared a special stage.……."
"Special Stage?"
Yoshu scratched his back..
"Call the dove out of the hat without magic, disappear on the spot, and the card It is said to be a finesse, such as reading the back."
"Huhu, it's interesting.."
Friar woke up from the chair.
"I'll specification it. If I'm watching, I'm not the only one who feels the burden. Leave them to enjoy. I am satisfied with their laughter.."
Friar took one more look at the landscape of the street, and then stepped out onto the terrace.
Walk along a long corridor.
Yoshu came after her..
"Lord Yoshu, go back.."
"Sire, don't you go for a visit this time......."
"If so,?"
"I can't wait to go with the escort. It's dangerous.."
"The policing of the Ecliptic has its own. If a girl can't walk at night with ease, it's also my responsibility No, no, no, no.."
Fria took off the coat she was wearing and handed it to Yoshu.
I took off my golden coffin and scarf..
"Hoo, it's cool.."
"Your majesty, how many times have I not told you. If anything happens to Okce,……."
"It's fine. It's okay. Don't follow me. It's an order. You will protect this place so that the servants of the Yellow Castle can enjoy the festival.."
Fria pushed one side of the wall, leaving Yoshu standing idly by.
Dukung. With a light vibration, a passage arose. The Imperial Palace is a place that no one knows but a few characters. It was a secret route she had created to take a direct look at the Ecliptic..
"Hiccups! It's a great game. Hooray for your Majesty! Hooray! Hey, man.!"
"This guy! You're drunk! Drink moderately.!"
"Hihhhhhhhhhhh……."
Samsam-oh, the gathered drunkards staggered with their glasses..
Friar changes into a shabby robe, then presses the hood to the street I was walking.
'Are these Happy.'
Friar looked at the face of the people.
10 years since she was crowned Emperor.
The empire was credited with achieving a golden age.
'A land where you can live tomorrow without any worries or worries.'
It was the paradise she wanted to create..
But…….
Friar put his hand on the wall of the alley.
A vague voice leaked out of his mouth..
"What's the use?."
Forgetting something important.
I tried to remember it again and again, but it didn't come to mind..
I wanted to show it to someone..
This land I made with my efforts..
'Where the hell did you go?.'
Friar lurched and walked down the alley.
'Once. You can be satisfied once..'
You're living well, if you say hello to me..
If you show her a smile once more.
From the next time, Fria was going to live her life..
'I was going to chase the "happiness" thing..
But why.
'Where are you?.'
Tears streamed down Friar's cheeks.
10year. No, for more than a year, there was one big hole in her heart It was drilled..
The status of the noble Imperial family, the faithful subordinates who follow her, the Empire The position of Emperor did not fill Friar's mind..
"Where is this...... ."
When he woke up, Friar was standing somewhere in a dark alley.
It's a queasy smell that flows from somewhere. She had smelled this a dozen years ago.
"Khe, what is it?."
The man who was sitting on the broken pillar of the lung stood up..
Long, sharp stabs are engraved on the cheeks. The man's gaze touched Friar's face, which was exposed under the hood.
"There's a lady here. On a happy festive day. Kick."
I came too deep..
Friar's hand touched the dagger in the back..
Even if the war is over, it's not for the corrective action..
"It was rewarding when all the guys were playing and getting stuck in. Kyak, Te. Then I, too, will enjoy the festival.……!"
Puck!
The man looked forward..
"You're doing a very damn thing.."
Kwazik!
The man's back was trampled on the gunbattle..
A woman with a sharp impression walked forward.
"You are……."
"My name is Edith Kalen. Mercenary. But what did the dowager lady come here for? The temple of the nameless God is not this way.."
Edith turned the dagger with her index finger and looked at Friar..
'God without a name.'
Friar's eyes blinked at the first word he heard..
"What, you came without knowing.?"
"What is a Nameless God?"
"Maybe mercenaries like us need to be trusted.."
Friar squinted.
When the shrapnel began to fling, a society called'Tel Ikar Denomination' There was a crowd of people who were in a frenzy..
Is this woman their offshoot?.
"It's not a denomination. It's like a folk faith. If you're curious, you can follow me. It's like a common legend, but I don't know if it's interesting.."
Puck!
Edith kicked the fallen man and started walking inside.
'Nameless...... God.'
Friar gulped spit.
And I started following Edith..
"Do you know that??"
"……?"
"10A year ago, the shrapnel that attacked here was just a fraction of them.. I heard it's a tenth, a hundredth. If they got in here with all their might.……."
"Do you mean that Taunier would have perished??"
"Oh, you know that.?"
Edith laughed at Pick.
Soon after, the road widened..
Legend of a Nameless God.
Friar thought he was sewing the Ecliptic to a certain extent, but that's how it works. I had never heard of the story..
"See me.?"
Edith looked around..
On the outskirts of the Ecliptic, in a widened alleyway, people wearing black goat shoes I was walking in line..
"They believe in a nameless God. Once a year, we gather here for a banquet. I'm just walking, so don't worry.."
Edith took the goat's hair out of her arms..
And I put it on my face..
"I got one more to spare, do you want to clean it? It's fun.."
"……And, thank you.."
Friar accepted the goat's ride..
'There's some sense here.?'
I don't know..
In a way, it looked like a joke..
Friar sighed and pressed his goat's foot.
"Win."
The girl who was walking next to Friar muttered.
"Victory to the nameless God...... ."
I wish you all the best..
The girl in the sheepskin was walking slowly with her hands clasped together.
"Win."
This time, the man of the small body muttered, " Oh, my god.".
Everyone gathered here was devoting their origins to each other.
"What do they do?"
"I'm cheering you on.."
Edith replied:.
The eyes beyond the mask narrowed..
"Somewhere here, in the depths of the Universe...... Nameless God is fighting There are."
"……."
"Fight against countless enemies over a long, long time. To protect us."
"To protect."
Friar became incoherent and pulled Edith's hem..
"If so, the reason we didn't perish is……."
"Don't believe it completely. It's a legend that's not credible. Just know that there's a story like that.."
Friar looked around.
A crowd of hundreds of people were walking down the street.
Scenery you would never have seen on the terrace of the Imperial Palace.
'These are…….'
Will you march.
Wishing for the victory of an unnamed God.
"When does the fight end?!"
Friar grabbed Edith as she hung on..
Eager look.
"When does the nameless God return?!"
"I don't know that. It sounds like decades, millions of years, tens of millions of years, or eternity. Not."
"So long can not wait!"
"Why are you excited??"
Friar bit his lip..
"I'm sorry.……."
Friar looked above with wet eyes.
Starry sky. Looked down again.
Hundreds of believers were following the march.
"Win."
The voices of the crowd merged into one, and the Nazim rang.
"Victory to the nameless God...... ."
Friar closed his eyes in prayer.
Beyond the dark field of view, a single landscape dawned.
'We're fighting..'
A world that is imperceptible to her senses.
The man wields the sword throughout the time he has passed.
If you die, you're alive again.,
Even if you survive, you die again..
The man was fighting resurrection and death repeatedly.
'This is…….'
That's not what Fria wanted..
'Where is your Happiness.'
No one looks back..
Losing all humanity, suffering forever without dying or living Will.
I couldn't see him alive..
'Revenant.'
Friar reached out to the man.
But it doesn't reach.
The distance is too far.
'Please, save me..'
Taonier can perish..
It doesn't matter if this world burns down or disappears..
Only what she hoped for…….
It's a fire.!
At that moment, a blinding red salt blocked her eyes.
"Lady."
"Uh?"
Edith pounded Friar's shoulder..
Friar was around..
The illusion that had surfaced in sight had disappeared cleanly..
"Stand still and do something.?"
"……It was a dream.."
"Pigtails dream?"
"I'm sorry. It's nothing.."
Fria looked up and put her head in her head, and just once in the landscape I recalled it more..
God without a name.
That was the identity of the man Friar saw..
And, the last of the illusions.
'I wasn't alone..'
There was such a mistaken feeling that someone was fighting by his side.
With a sword blazing with flames.
'If someone else went to save him..‘
Friar decided to pray..
"Salvation to the nameless God...... ."
