Pick Me Up-Episode 347
3. The First dream(2)
* * *
He opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he stood on the plain.
The vast plains extend beyond the horizon.
Maybe, even if you run for days and days, you can't get to the end of the plain..
With a strange conviction, he stepped out.
He had something to do.
Becoming Stronger.
The memory of the past is framed on its own..
Memories build up, gather, and become conscious, and Gradually Aaron's self Formed.
‘My name is Aaron Delkard..’
He was aware of himself.
Born in Taonnier, summoned by the system.
His god is the long-term end of the game, which is wielded by the presence of the master.
Aaron accepted the role..
To survive..
To meet his one and only sister and family, Nina, again..
And Aaron met his colleagues.
I fought with them and learned to bond.
“…….”
But it was up there.
Aaron could not help them.
He lacked qualities as a warrior.
Didn't want to hold their ankles.
I wanted to prove my worth with my colleagues.
But I failed..
His immaturity forced his colleagues into crisis.
He wanted to be stronger, but he couldn't go any further.
‘Belquist.’
Aaron remembered the man's name..
The name of the man who gave himself defeat.
He is summoned later than Aaron, but grows fast and right behind him Hit and came up..
Followed by said.
There's one person who can't play my part..
That was what I said to Aaron..
That was what I said..
Aaron didn't refute it..
In fact, Belquist has nothing to do with it..
Even if he wasn't, it would happen one day..
Falling Out.
Aaron was luckily quickly summoned and became a B.C. member.
However, as the waiting room grew, the heroes lacked ability in B.C. It was natural to drop out..
‘It was my stubbornness..’
It's right that you should have given up there..
After accepting your own incompetence, you can do what you can while you think about it It's not bad to work..
Most people in the world don't do that.
The Hero who was the leader of Taonier.
Han Isrado said it was natural..
Even if it's not a battle, it's a boon to the waiting room. It was wide..
For example, the instructor.
If you're a new member, Aaron's talent is not enough.
The weak have their own fight..
But Aaron refused.
He leaned on the warmth of one Israt and insisted on wanting to be strong.
The result is now.
‘I said there was a hero who was in a similar situation to me..’
He said he had become a strong man beyond his lousy talent.
‘I want to know..’
How he became stronger.
What number of talents have exceeded the limits.
I wanted to look like him..
And one day again, I wanted to stand side by side with my colleague.
‘Let's go..’
The Dimension gate that sent Aaron to this special dimension is gone.
There's no way back..
There's only progress..
So,
Aaron walked through the desolate plains and walked again.
“…….”
There are winding paths on the plains.
Aaron moved along the way..
The feeling of time has become strange.
‘No, it's not a matter of time..’
The season of the Plains is autumn.
Fallen leaves were losing in the sky.
It was a strange thing..
If you want to build fallen leaves, you need to have a tree on top.
But not a single tree grew on the plains.
The fields are endless..
‘Where's it falling??’
But brown leaves fall.
Beyond the Sky, somewhere.
It's not exactly a place..
Fallen leaves were growing all over the plains.
‘Besides…….’
What to call this phenomenon.
Aaron couldn't answer..
It looks as if the leaves are fixed in the air.
As if time stopped.
As if painted.
But if you look at it in detail, it's different.
Very finely,
It's about the twitching of the caterpillar, but the fallen leaves are moving..
That is.
‘Time is running slowly.…….’
The flow is too slow.
So it looks like a stopped world.
In such a world, Aaron's presence, moving at the original speed, is a landscape and It didn't fit..
Anyway, Aaron followed the road..
The passage of time was unknown.
I thought it was time to be hungry, but oddly enough, the boat was not hungry at all. Did.
“……Haa.”
Mysterious World.
Beyond the horizon of the plains, twilight is losing.
Maybe that twilight is losing and the night is not coming..
Aaron could bear such a strange conviction.
* * *
Some time after that.
Aaron found a large cabin.
A winding road that begins at the gate of the dimension is connected to the entrance to the cabin.
That cabin was meant to be the destination..
“Are there?”
Smart.
Aaron knocked on the door of the cabin..
The reaction was soon back.
“Open.”
Voice of a stranger man.
Aaron opened the door and went inside the house..
As soon as you open the door you will see the cabin kitchen cum dining room.
Full of life.
The young man, sitting at the table, looked back here.
“Is it you? My motivation this time.”
Confident look.
The age was seen as early 20s.
The young man, dressed in Niflheim's lower uniform, sat down and laughed.
“Apparently, you're not from Niflheim? Where are you from??”
“You, anyone.?”
“Oops, I need to start with my introduction. I'm a Slagin. What else, don't you need? You or Nana, they're in a similar situation..”
“Similar plight……?”
“I came here because I wanted to be strong, you too..”
Aaron opened his eyes wide..
“Neither do I. I want to be strong. More than anyone else. That's why I came here..”
Aaron soon grasped the situation.
He said it was his motive..
If so…….
‘The trainee wasn't alone in me..’
Besides Aaron.,
There was one more hero who chose this reckless way..
And then, Aaron didn't tell me he was going alone..
It's not strange..
He's the first guest..
“I used to have a lot of trainees, but they're all out.. I'm different. I'll do anything..”
Slagin's eyes were full of obsession.
The desire to be insatiably strong.
Aaron knows one man who is similar to him..
It was Belquist, the man who led him to two parties..
“So? Don't let me introduce you to you alone.?”
“Aaron Delcudra Hao.”
“The tone is dirty and hard..”
“…….”
“Well, that's right. They're not laughing and talking to each other, are they? With this, we've got all these riders together.…… ”
Slagin looked out of the window and said.
“I think you're here.?”
Aaron blinked..
He noticed something, but Aaron didn't feel anything..
I have to go out of the door and follow Slagin idly..
The back of the cabin where you arrived..
There was a haze of the right size.
But put a wooden fence on the perimeter, a few at a certain interval It's just a scarecrow..
No brawny Mitsuhide.
There was 'he'in the middle of such a vacant lot.
“Haaam~.”
Sleepy eyes turned to the two.
Shabby attire and slouching posture.
In the action of scratching your violet hair, you see a piece of motivation. Did.
‘Boy?’
I don't know the exact age, but he looks younger than Aaron. I could guess..
In appearance, he didn't have anything to say about treating him as a brother..
“There, what are you doing? Come in, come in..”
The boy's expression and tone were full of bothersome interjections..
“Is it you? The owner of this cabin.”
Slagin also twitched his eyebrows to see if it was unexpected..
“Yeah, it's me. You don't have to introduce me, do you? You must have known. Come in..”
The fence door of the training ground is open.
Aaron and Slagin went into the dance..
‘…….’
Guess and differ.
Aaron had expected the appearance of an unmanned man, tempered like a knife.
Master of Transcendental Will beyond the limits of talent.
But this appearance…….
“I know, I know. That I look easy. What do you do? I didn't want to look like this. Anyway, the kids here this time are two of you..”
The boy's half-closed eyes glanced quickly at the two.
And the boy said.
“Go back..”
“……?”
“I'll open the dimension door again. It will take a long time, but go relax. You can think of it as a vacation. When the door opens, go home now..”
Boy yawned sagging.
“That's not going to happen.?”
“Well?”
“I can't go back empty-handed. How did I get here?.”
Sragin stepped forward.
“You, I heard a rumor that he was a rival..”
“That guy? Oh, Gion. By the way, rivals? He's my rival? What bullshit.?”
The boy threw out his hand..
But Aaron has never heard of such a story..
Ridgion, a five-star hero who is treated as a Sword of Niflheim.
He has a presence that he recognizes as his rival.
“It's not funny..”
The boy laughed as if he were outrageous.
Slagin also looked at the boy and laughed.
“Anyway, even if you try to get me back, it's useless. I came here to devour you..”
“Swallow? Me? Hey, it's scary. Are you, too? You're here to swallow me...... That, what time?”
The boy's gaze turned to Aaron.
Aaron shook his head hurriedly.
“Oh, no. I want to be strong..”
“That's it, isn't it??”
Slagin looked at Aaron..
Aaron answered without support..
“It's different. I don't have the impure intention of swallowing..”
“My intentions are impure.?”
“Oh, I didn't mean to..”
Slagin looked ahead again.
There was a hideous light in his eyes..
“I want to be strong, after all. Ridgion is more than a man. more than those colleagues. More than anyone in this world. I came here for that. Grace will pay me back, so make me stronger..”
“…….”
“I know it's dangerous. They almost all die here. But if you don't take that much risk, you can't be strong.. I'm ready for that. So does that man..”
So was Aaron..
The matter was desperate, somehow..
That's why I took the risk and came here..
“Oh, the troubling ones are here again..”
The boy sighed.
“If I go back and tell you to train normally, you say no, right? You said you tried it all. He said he came here because there was no way..”
“You know that..”
“But, are you the first people to come with that kind of commitment??”
“No, no. It doesn't matter. I can do it.?”
It was great confidence..
The environment you've been in with Aaron is different..
You have to repeat your efforts and get a steady victory. It was the arrogance of a able winner.
‘…….’
It was a difference from Aaron, who had a hard time playing his part..
I've already tasted numerous failures.
I couldn't get the word out that it was a success this time..
“How are you??”
Slagin looked at Aaron and said,.
“I just do my best...... .”
“He's not losing..”
Slagin died..
“Oh, all right, all right. Do it at your will. The training ground is here, so I use it, and there are a lot of empty rooms in the house. Pick it. Cleaning takes care of it. You don't have to eat..”
The boy loosened his stubbornness easier than he thought.
The word to go back seemed to be a simple rite of passage.
“Then the railing…….”
“Wait a minute..”
Sragin broke off the boy's words..
He approached the boy and fiddled with the sheath of his belt.
“Just once, you can't fight me.?”
“Why I?”
“Want to know. Your strength.”
“Well?”
“The man named Ridgion was strong. I've challenged it dozens of times, but I've never reached it. Even if you adjust your physical abilities the same as me. Honestly, it was a wall that could not be crossed...... .”
“That's right. He's a genius..”
“You're strong enough to be called a rival..”
“I mean, I'm not..”
“So, ask Dalian. I want to know my level.”
The boy looked at Slagin with a stupefied expression..
“You're cheeky..”
“If your tone was cheeky, I apologize..”
Sragin's tone immediately changed.
“I want to be strong. Can I ask you to do one for me that is not enough?”
Aaron was surprised..
That Suragin man was a self-respecting type, no matter who you look at..
But at one point, he threw out his pride..
Only to be strong..
“So, you want to know the gap in technology? I want to feel the wall that I felt for Gion, and I want to feel it for me.?”
“Yes.”
“There's nothing you can't do..”
Boy laughed bingle.
And he tiptoed up the neck spear that was lying on the ground.
