Pick Me Up-Episode 366
4. Self-craving self-strength(8)
“…….”
Ridgion made the sword he was holding disappear.
It's not the first man's sword..
It was a translucent, nondescript weapon..
5New machine.
Knew.
The Strongest weapons the Master of Niflheim has given to Party 1.
Ridgion took one of them out..
“It's hard, too. Taking this up is the only thing I can do..”
“One thing, can I ask you?.”
“What.?”
“How did it stop?”
Ridgion opened his mouth..
In what way he accepted the technology.
The short explanation is over.
“What is it, that's it?.”
Aaron had no choice but to laugh..
“It doesn't make sense.…….”
That's why defeat was set..
“It was not a fair fight from the beginning. I know you, and you don't know me, but what can you beat?”
This is not the first time Ridgion has fought with the holder of the Up.
I was trying to figure out what way to fight, what method to use..
“Moreover, your last shot, which your master used to knock me down, was Will.”
Unforgettable.
Ridgion comes to the bow path in the endless Dosan Sword Forest. I've been on a tightrope..
No matter how many attacks and passes, he can't avoid them and stop them. There was no strike that could not be done..
In any case, since you have drawn the sword in your heart, Ridgion will be taken by your opponent. I can read the movement..
But just once in a lifetime.
There was a window that I knew and couldn't do..
When I knew where I was coming from, what was going to happen, I had to stand. There were.
This is the second time Lidigion has celebrated the fall of Up.
To prevent that strike, Pina has repeated her training.
Aaron's spear was imperceptible..
“Lost..”
Aaron shook his head..
I've spent all the fuel to burn my dreams..
Now Aaron could use no power.
“It wasn't a game in the first place, but where are the wins and losses??”
“What you lost is what you lost..”
“If I didn't know your power, the process would have been different..”
“Didn't Ridgion look at me? If you do anything, come. I'll wait. This is the only thing. It was only a provocation. Hoo. And the process has changed, you know, you're gonna lose anyway..”
“Well, that's right..”
What's that?.
It wasn't even a match..
An adult will play with a child.
“Still, it was great.”
“…….”
“Why but?”
“Nothing..”
“Get stronger, Aaron. If you don't want to eat your master's name, you don't want to eat your master's name..”
The long sleeve is bent..
Ridgion turned his back..
‘I admit it......?’
I called him his name for the first time..
Aaron stood with his mouth shut.
“Your master will be in the cemetery. The direction is yes, from here to the north. The defense looks in the direction of the sun..”
Ridgion slowly began to move away..
‘Master is waiting for me..’
It's a cemetery, but it's the first place I hear it..
North from here..
This plain is always getting dusk, so take the land to the west where the sun is falling. You know the direction..
Aaron walked..
I just walked..
‘I lost..’
In the end, he didn't beat the guy..
I was stuck on the palm of my hand, not winning..
But…….
After.
Aaron smiled a refreshing smile.
The long time that has been building up has disappeared into the bubble..
The dream is not over yet.
* * *
A place called a cemetery was only a day's walk away..
I saw a boy and a woman in robes..
The two seemed to be talking..
‘He said he was a therapist.…….’
Unidentified woman in mask covering hood.
I can't hear your voice..
At the end of the conversation, the therapist's eyes turned to Aaron..
“…….”
The conversation was interrupted.
It must be because of the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest..
The therapist was fogged over whether he used magic or not..
“Is it over??”
The boy looked at Aaron and laughed.
“Example.”
“The result is?”
“Lost..”
“Of course. How do you beat him??”
“But I worked hard.!”
“If you work hard, do what you do. I lost..”
“That's the way it is.…….”
The boy tapped Aaron's back.
“Where did you stick it right! Originally, a fool like you wasn't the same person who could stand on the same line.?”
“Same shipboard…….”
Aaron recalled the words..
Same ship..
“It doesn't make sense to win, cancer. You and she have a level and a grade difference, and they're ignorant of the skill difference. How about experience again. If you win one up, it doesn't make sense.?”
“That's right..”
This is the first time I've dealt with ups properly today..
If you win straight, you can't go back and forth..
Aaron's feelings were vain greed..
‘Yeah..’
I can't even make eye contact with the original Ridgion..
He lives in a honey world that Aaron's talent never dreamed of..
But Aaron, he's been immersed in the same world as the man. Will.
“Of course, it's all over..”
“It's over..”
“Up, I can't use it anymore.?”
The master laughed wickedly.
“What about this? I've been struggling for a long time and I've been flying into a fight room.?”
“……Ugh..”
“Can I do it, huh? Can you stack it again? Can you do that dog again, you. From scratch again. From one again!”
I think about it.,
Dizzy.
“It's not worth it. It's not maintained that it builds up once. When you fight, it disappears. I'm going to enjoy that a little bit. I'm going to struggle with it.?”
Aaron was bored..
And then I did..
I was excited to fight right now, but every little shadow shard is huge It was effort and time.
If you cultivate for close to a hundred years, you can typify a very slight dream.
The little dream is typified by a shadow, Aaron's body disappears, and his spirit disappears. Go through reconstruction.
The one process of building shadows in that way was called fable.
So a hundred years rolled up and very slightly.
The material that will make your dream a reality, the spirit, is built up.
Just, Aaron used the spirit he had built up over the years..
‘I fought once, and it's all gone..’
This can be inefficient..
“Why don't you leave it! Who wants to use it all? When do I stack up again, yeah.?”
“You can't do it, you can't do it.”
Aaron answered with Volmens..
“I'd rather be good. Be as strong as you try. Where is this simple ability?”
“Even if the blood-stained effort is fought once and gone?”
“You can stack it again.”
Others will be tired of the gig..
Aaron is different.
There's no other way Aaron, who doesn't have talent, is going to be strong. Do not.
What's more, you don't have a dream.
Snappy penalty is nothing.
I couldn't even call it a penalty..
Being with pure dreams is a way of thinking with ordinary humans It's different..
How much could I do.
If you eat your heart, even until your soul is dead and gone..
“That's right. It's possible for you. So you can use the ups..”
It was such a force from the beginning.
“So, Master, what were you doing??”
“You don't know if you see it? Where do you want your tombstone to be erected? I was thinking..”
“Yes? What's that?…….”
Aaron looked ahead.
What do you want to call this place?.
A tombstone is embedded inside the fenced place.
The number of tombstones reached dozens..
“There's a lot of empty space now. I need to put it in the corner..”
There are several masterless headstones leaning on the fence.
The boy moved one of them to an empty place.
“That, Master, what……?”
“Your life's a long time away, this is it..”
Aaron opened his eyes round..
“You realized the ups, right? I can't stop now. I'm gonna hang on to that power endlessly and become a ghost..”
“He's a ghost.?”
“Yeah, if your dream to be strong is really pure, you'll have a personality. You don't need it, do you? It's just a hindrance. Then your heart, which was Aaron, disappears, and the ghost takes its place..”
Grunts.
The boy placed the nameless headstone on the empty ground in the corner.
It's like Aaron's tombstone..
“Didn't you tell me? My second role is to kill that ghost. It's in this cemetery, but the ghosts are asleep..”
Aaron realized what the boy meant to say.
The Real Hardship begins from Now On.
The fact that the power of Up will gnaw Aaron's heart to the end.
The eternal desire to be strong in the place where the human heart was Only desire remains, running towards ruin.
“…….”
Aaron stood still.
My back was cool..
“Not satisfied though? I got the power I wanted. I'm not going to get beaten outside.?”
“Why are you saying that...... .”
“What's wrong. I'm telling you the facts. You're dying soon..”
“If you're a master...... Don't you know how? How to overcome it...... .”
The boy's gaze turned to the tombstones of the tomb.
There was nothing written on the tombstones that were built everywhere, but apparently Each had a master.
“It's not the first time you write ups next to me. If you realize the principle, it's not difficult..”
The boy said.
“But what keeps the human mind in that state to the end, no one I couldn't..”
It's different from the master Aaron knew..
In his memory, the Master is wacky, but always warm, human heart He was important and watched the growth of his disciples.
“Revenant, Ghost.”
Aaron muttered..
If you don't realize your ups, you become a Revenant.
Even if you realize your ups, you become a ghost.
If so, you're going to die somehow..
‘Master's Prank?’
Not.
The nature of this power is better known by Aaron himself than anyone.
The desire to be pure and strong, without any purpose.
If you want to fulfill that desire, you can throw away anything.
Even the human heart.
In fact, from a pure dream point of view, Aaron's personality is impure It didn't pass..
“Master, let us know. What should I do?”
“Well. If you know that, why are these tombstones??”
“You don't know, do you??”
“Yeah..”
Aaron was silent for a minute, then spoke again.
“Master is not different. You're staying sane..”
“I'm talented. All the world, you're not a talent at the end.?”
“Talent.?”
“To me, you have a very special talent..”
The boy didn't make eye contact with Aaron.
I'm looking through the tombstones one by one..
“What talent is it?”
“He's a talent that doesn't feel anything..”
“Example?”
Nothing feels talent?
Aaron was dumbfounded by the unthinkable answer..
“Why do you think the human heart is gnawing in time? Because I feel emotions, and I feel my heart..”
The boy said.
No color was revealed in his voice.
“But what if you don't have a mind in the first place? What if you don't have a mind to gnaw? If your mind has been empty since day one,?”
“…….”
“It's not like that. It's no different here or outside. So I can bear it. It's not like time has passed..”
“What the hell is that?…….”
“So I told you, right? At the end of the day, talent decides everything..”
No heart.
Therefore, even if you get up, it's not like you're going to get up..
The flow of time is fine, and the desire to be pure, the desire to be pure, the desire to be pure, the desire to be pure, the desire to be pure Can maintain.
‘I don't have a heart.?’
What the hell do you mean?.
“There are many people in the world who are born with stars. It's just the temperature. She has a special institution that no one else has. So do I..”
Aaron tried to understand his master's words..
No heart.
Does that mean you don't feel any emotion soon?
But it was strange.
The master he knew was richer in emotion than anyone.
He was always cheerful and full of laughter..
“You said you were a merchant, didn't you know that? In the world. There are a lot of kids who laugh outwardly and hold knives inside..”
“Master, if so, Master…….”
The boy looked back..
Finally, the two glances met..
Aaron's face hardened..
A look you've never seen before.
It was a doll-like face.
There must be warm blood under his skin, but the boy's I didn't feel any vivacity on my face..
It's like you're dead alive..
“Every person has a different talent..”
The boy said.
“As if you have a heart, and I have no heart. The principle of radish that you haven't awakened in your life, Gion knew from the beginning As if. That's their talent..”
No-no-no-no-no.
The boy's expression changed.
As the teacher he always knew, the boy laughed at the single singlehandle It was containing.
“Now, you know my talent? If so, be calm and acclimatize to reality. I'll die soon, but if I use it slowly, I'll die soon.…….”
“Master..”
“Why?”
“What is the Master's dream?”
The boy's eyebrows rose..
“What bullshit? Suddenly.”
“Everyone who comes here has a disease of the heart. This is what the master said..”
“So?”
“So did the master..”
“Well.?”
“The master said: Illness of the heart eventually illness. You need to treat it as you deserve..”
The boy kicked his tongue as if he were stuck..
“Isn't that what the master wanted? I don't feel that..”
“Do you believe what you just said? Maybe it's a joke..”
“I don't want to doubt anything you say..”
Aaron said seriously.
Others say that this is not fun for Aaron's character, but it was not Alva..
“Just as I came here to cure my heart's disease, so did the master. That's what you did..”
Aaron's words followed..
“Can I help you??”
“Help me? You? Me?”
“Just as the master opened the way before me, I reward the master. I would like to.”
“How?”
“I don't know yet. You have to worry about it..”
“Worry about something. I don't have anything to use..”
“The Master said he didn't have a heart, but it's not true..”
The boy was silent.
Aaron spoke..
“If you didn't have a human heart, you could save me, here. You wouldn't even build a tombstone. You didn't even tell me your master's true feelings..”
“…….”
“The master has a clear mind. But you just don't feel it..”
“…….”
“I don't know what's possible for me, but the human mind is one another. It is made to help. I think so. Just as you saved me, I have something to do for you. There may be.”
“So. How are you gonna help me?.”
Aaron scratched his head..
“That's it, give me some time to think about it..”
“Stupid bastard. You can't speak out without any countermeasures. And, say, someone saved you. I had no hair to help you. It's just a whim.”
“I'm not the one who accepts.?”
Aaron smiled.
One thing was certain.
As he did, the master also suffers from a disease of the heart.
The master said.
The illness of the heart is not to watch.
It is to cure.
So, the Master defeats the despair of Aaron's deep sleep in his memory I told you the law..
If you don't have a calm mind, you can't cure your opponent's mind..
I didn't feel it, but it definitely existed for the boy..
What the cemetery did was to tell Aaron about the dangers of the Up..
Don't overdo it.
Don't be greedy..
If so, you can handle the ups.
The boy's warning would have meant this..
I've been with a boy for so many years..
Aaron was able to know the meaning of his master's words.
Then what did he do to the boy.
There is nothing.
I just got it..
I didn't give it to you..
It was the same for everyone else..
Nina told me the purpose of life.
Your brother and colleagues told you how to survive..
The master gave me another way..
‘Being Truly Strong…….’
Sharing One's Power.
I don't know if someone is not..
It's not power, it's hypocrisy, it's falsehood, and you may laugh at it..
Maybe there's no right answer to this problem..
Why did you want to be strong?.
What did Aaron hope for strength.
A craving for pure power, not for anything else.
‘No.’
Come now, Aaron wants to deny the answer again..
It's a direction that contradicts the power he realized, but it's another way he knows it. I want to give an answer.
‘Because I couldn't help it..’
The reason I hated myself for being weak.
Then, because I couldn't help Nina, who was dying..
Because I couldn't fight to the end on my brother's side, on my colleague's side..
And now, because I can't cure your illness..
And so Aaron longed.
While longing for pure dreams without more.
I longed for a human heart to walk with a relationship.
I thought there was a way to the end of that contradiction..
