Pick Me Up-Episode 372
5. Light of Heart(5)
* * *
The wheelbarrow of chagrin is returning..
There were no fallen leaves that stayed in thin air to fall to the ground..
If the time is infinite, it is pointless to count the days.
All day, Aaron poked and swung a silver spear..
In the end, nothing changed.
He despair at his helplessness and crave strength endlessly..
What did you want to do to be strong?.
Was it strength to help Nina, her brother, her colleague and master?.
Or was it the strength to get out of my relationship with them?.
「Pure dreams are not bound by anything.」
The red shadow whispered.
If Aaron accepts his dream, he doesn't have to suffer..
Clinging to human relationships is itself evidence of weakness.
True Strength is Flight.
The desire of the beast to fly in the sky is bound by nothing on earth. It's for not doing it..
Birds do not need to be bulbous to predators crawling through the ground.
You don't have to be tied to where you stay..
If you flew away, it was enough..
「So do you..」
Red shadow said.
「Fly. Higher than anyone. When you climb to the end of the sky, what do you know you see??」
What I've been struggling with so far..
It looks trivial and trivial.
From the perspective of the universe, the life and death of a single human was the same as that of a worm.
「Pure Strength.」
A Strength that transcends everything.
It transcends the relationship, the heart, the emotions, and it escapes from the spirit of fear..
Absolute Composure.
“…….”
Aaron looked next to him..
The red shadow disappeared as if when did it?.
‘is disturbed. Disappear..’
I haven't been strong enough yet..
‘Absolute composure? Unbridled Strength?’
Bullshit.
“Self-rationalization..”
Aaron muttered..
“Because you're weak, you don't have the confidence to go through the hardships, so you don't pretend to be like that. You're acting..”
Aaron remembered the boy's words.
Also known as such a condition.
“Insignificant Mental Victory.”
Cool chuck.
I'm gonna pretend I'm okay..
He is constantly comforted that he is not at all..
“That's escape..”
It won't be anyway. What are you trying to do?.
I'm just laughing..
It's impossible from the beginning, not to face adversity, but to run away. I'm sorry that it was work..
‘I'm different..’
Run. Run. Run. Run. run. run. run..
When I left the dying Nina and got out alone.
That regret made Aaron now.
From then on, Aaron didn't live..
Look at this..
The red shadow disappeared everywhere..
It was a fantasy that led to a weak mind..
‘I become stronger.’
The strength of the moment cannot reverse the suffering.
At least...... As much as the man.
He had to be as strong as the man who jumped over his dream with a knife..
If you didn't, you'd better die and disappear..
Aaron piled up, stacked up, stacked up again..
I spent a large amount of time training intermediate skills.
But more than that, he built up.
At any rate, Aaron had no talent..
Instead of efficient usage, we had to look at the game with the amount of juggernaut.
What can he do.
Maybe he's as strong as he is, but he's not as strong as he is..
The heroes of Niflheim also decided that it was difficult.
But he didn't run away..
I don't see the way, I didn't back down like I used to..
‘If I trust you,.’
We have to believe that Han will overcome the crisis now..
However, then you may need someone's help.
For one chance, Aaron will spend years of eternal fear.
‘If you believe in your master,.’
He will certainly have something to do.
No matter what form it is..
* * *
Boo-woong!
The shadow on the end of the window was thick..
The silent window had the weight of a spirit.
A strike that can tear down even the walls of the dimension.
This is the true moon shadow that the master said.
Now Aaron's window is impenetrable.
「Fly..」
Red shadow said.
「Get away from the human taint that binds you..」
The shadows just keep growing..
Aaron was unable to see the right side..
If you look to the right, the whole world was red patched up..
* * *
I send a warning from my heart..
Aaron ignored and stockpiled ups.
With him, I learned how to use ups, a few things I didn't know before I realized a simple fact.
First.
The master's life is really not long.
Aaron builds ups up to more than the limit, and then how extreme the boy is I could see if it was crowded..
Come now and look back and you can see.
If you look at the wavelength of the boy's shadow, you can feel it.
The jar of the boy's heart is already cracked.
No matter how much water you pour, it will leak..
Even if he escaped the diarrhea Luanan, the boy's disappearance would have been scheduled..
‘He said he was a therapist. You're wrong..’
She said the boy can recover his condition if he gets out of here, but that's It was impossible..
The Boy will soon be extinguished.
Regardless of the collapse of Mobius.
Second.
And yet there was no way..
Just one thing.
There was a way to fix the boy's broken bowl.
“…….”
What is it?.
When we put the two facts together, a very simple conclusion was drawn.
You don't have to be strong..
You can leave your future to someone stronger than me..
It was also strong.
Aaron opened his eyes..
Maybe, yourself may have come here for this.
「Fly..」
Red shadow said.
No matter where you look, you can't avoid it now..
The whole world was red patched.
‘Until then.…….’
You can hold on..
You can't lose..
* * *
One day, Aaron stood in front of the cemetery.
There were numerous nameless headstones lined up.
“…….”
Nothing is written on the headstone.
No wonder..
According to the boy's description, the owners of this stele have already lost their existence.
I forgot who I was, and what I wrote..
‘The people buried here were similar to me..’
Aaron thought.
All the people who come here are sick of their hearts..
The boy said it a few times..
The illness of the heart does not go away easily.
I dig my heart and eat it until the party reaches death..
If Aaron hadn't come here, it would have been so..
He would have died following a useless group on the battlefield..
Illness of the Heart.
A Curse to be strong even when you die.
Each of them must have had a cause..
‘The master was trying to fix it..’
Even if you return hard, you wander and die..
There was no answer except to take it away..
Everyone was incurable..
‘What was here.’
Every time the headstone grew, what did the boy think.
No one knows now..
Even the boy himself.
‘I can do it..’
Can you bring memories buried in oblivion?.
If the power of up is possible.
There was some time..
If I didn't have enough power, I could pull it up..
So Aaron ran.
This is the world that stopped.
Throughout the time of eternity, the memories of the forgotten have been collected.
The world has eliminated their existence, but every trace will be extinguished Can't..
It doesn't erase everything associated with it..
At best, it just eliminates memories..
However, the fragments of memory are split close to infinity.
Aaron didn't care.
Time here didn't mean anything..
* * *
“This man's name is…….”
Headstone in the corner of the cemetery.
Aaron struggled, and carved a piece of stone with a spear.
Name and surname.
Draw the story of the master and go down..
The shadow-cast spear passed through the marble like curd.
“After.”
Completion.
The first owner was on the headstone..
It was possible to confirm it close..
Sex is a man.
He was a boy of similar age to his mentor.
The boy called the master this way..
He seems to have been a lively character..
The two were closer to friends than priests.
They seem to have been good at flirting with each other..
But.
The Disciple apologizes.
The master didn't say anything..
Already processing is over.
The disciple's chest was pierced with a large hole.
Even if you don't have blood, you get out of that crevice..
At the end of the words, the disciple disappeared.
Here, it was the memory on this tombstone..
“…….”
After some time.
Aaron found the memory of the second headstone..
The callous-eyed youth called the boy so.
He was a type of action ahead of words.
There were very few conversations between the master and the disciple.
Silence was their daily routine.
And yet there was something through each other.
The young man is gone..
The master looked at the disciple without saying a word.
‘I found it..’
What kind of person was he?.
What memories I had with my mentor.
Aaron writes their biography with a spear on the headstone.
Everyone was calling the boy a mentor..
At first, he was prejudiced by his young appearance and pretentious tone. Later, everyone called the boy a mentor.
These are all patients with diseases of the heart..
But when he met the boy, he realized his illness, and he understood his mind, and he I had time to look back..
But I couldn't fix the bottle..
It was awesome and I couldn't fix it..
‘If you could fix it yourself, you wouldn't be here..’
There were no exceptions..
Aaron reminded me of a man named Suragin..
A man who got his own answer and left here safely.
His presence would have been a joy to the Master.
‘How was I??’
I don't know..
I couldn't see how it would be remembered by the master..
“…….”
Aaron diligently carved a biography on the headstone.
「Fly..」
I can hear the voice over and over..
「Fly..」
Shadows are now inevitable.
No matter where you look, it's red..
Even if I closed my eyes, I was red..
‘It's okay..’
The light of the heart has not yet been turned off.
「Fly..」
Until then.
「Fly..」
It doesn't work..
「Fly..」
“…….”
It's loud..
‘Master, you're amazing..’
How strong is it that you don't give in to these whispers.
How many 'disciples' succumbed to the Red Shadow.
Nevertheless, only a boy could maintain the opposite sex.
His ability to deal with ups was also a talent.
Kagak.
Kagagak.
The blade of the spear moves forward, cutting the marble..
Here, another story was written.
One by one.
One by one again.
When the record is finished, cast a shadow on the headstone.
So that the boy's forgotten memories can be brought back.
Aaron kept time and recorded everyone's journals.
And got them back.
You don't have to wander around anymore..
‘Flow..’
The landscape has changed again..
The twilight field I saw one day unfolded.
The fallen leaves that had stopped in thin air began to fall.
Time passed again..
“…….”
Aaron waited.
Piling ups across the chagrin.
Waiting for the boy to come was as easy as closing your eyes.
Rumbling.
The door of the cabin was opened.
Aaron, sitting still at the table, turned to the entrance.
“I'm here..”
“…….”
“How were you, Aaron??”
“Example.”
Aaron answered..
Here, years have passed near eternity, but outside time It almost didn't pass.
“…….”
The boy approached Aaron and shook his hand against his eyes.
“You're insane, aren't you? I can see this.?”
“Don't worry, Master. It looks right..”
“Well, thank god..”
“What about outside?”
“Oh, that's it. It's not better than I thought. I don't know what to say..”
Aaron laughed.
“That's fine..”
“What's all right, man? I'm in a mess..”
“You have a brother, you have a master, don't you? It's going to be somehow. I believe.”
“So…….”
Chin.
The boy straddled in the chair opposite Aaron's..
A cold gaze turned to Aaron.
“I've been here for years.?”
“I don't know. I didn't count..”
“You've stopped the passage of time..”
“You didn't tell me not to..”
“That's it. That's the only thing you need to build up your strength in a short time. Yongke did well..”
“Thanks to your teaching..”
Aaron bowed his head to the boy.
The boy's face looked red, crushed in the shadows.
“Master, I have something to show you..”
“The memories of the tombstone.?”
“…….”
“I saw it all before I got here, man..”
“Oh, my god..”
I wanted to surprise you..
“If you're going to do that, you're going to have a lot of ups..”
“…….”
“Yeah, I remember. When everyone's going to work hard, and later, I'm not able to do it, so I'm not able to do it. He died on his hands..”
Aaron laughed.
“Thank god, Master. You brought back the memories of your disciples..”
“……Four Eyes.”
“How about my eyes?”
“It's red..”
The boy said.
It was an emotionless tone..
“It's the same with those idiots..”
“He said it was dangerous to leave it alone. You said it could be a devastating disaster..”
“So I took care of it..”
“How did you do it??”
“It wasn't like that. Because I didn't have a heart..”
“It's a lie..”
Silence follows.
Each other's eyes crossed.
“……Why.”
Boy opened his mouth.
“You lost in the shadows..”
“I'm not losing..”
“You said you could win..”
“I didn't lose..”
“You promised me..”
It's still there..
It hasn't worked on pure water yet..
Until you're eaten up by a dream, there's room left.
“The master promised. If I'm defeated, he'll kill me..”
“…….”
“But that's fine. I didn't lose. As you can see, it's fine..”
“Do you?.”
“I didn't lose. I'll tell you again and again. By my will, I have chosen it now. I fought the shadows to the end and kept them..”
“What did you keep?.”
“I kept hope...... .”
“Hope?”
Aaron said.
“As the master said, at first he fought the shadow and tried to win.”
Drive out red shadows.
Make the power of the up completely your own.
Get yourself stronger.
The first plan was this.
But over time, you realize that there is an easier way Became.
“When I thought about it, it didn't make much difference if I fought the shadows and won them. I'm weak as it is. I had no power to reverse the situation..”
There will be no side effects, including delirium.
As long as the human mind is maintained, the power of up cannot be fully used..
Aaron lacked talent.
“Master is different.”
“Is it different? I?”
“I could see. How strong the Master was.”
Traces remained all over Luanan.
Wave after writing up.
Aaron was able to feel the fine waves as he built up Finally, I realized the master's mighty power.
“But not now. He's dying..”
The exact cause is unknown.
Anyway, due to various reasons, the boy was annihilating.
The power of his heyday disappears and he tumbles into the old man in the back room, in Luanan. I just lost time without Haril..
“Cracked bowl of hearts containing ups. I so judged the master's condition. If so, you can change the bowl.”
“…….”
“Master, I'm not dying..”
We have been preparing for many years.
Two dreams can be combined into one.
You can be transformed into a bigger and more powerful dream.
In the symptoms that are as imperfect as they are now, and gnawing at a person's spirit Can Be freed.
“That's right..”
The boy said.
“I figured it out, you know..”
“Example.”
“You're free..”
“That's right..”
Get out of the clumsy power of the halves, and be reborn as a true up.
It is perfected through unity.
That's how the reviving master protects your brother and everyone.…….
“So now, you know what I'm going to do.?”
“Example?”
A minor question bloomed in Aaron's head..
That moment.
“……!”
Caen!
Window and window collide.
Even if the reaction had been a little late, Aaron would have been incapacitated..
“Master.!”
“Come on, come on, come on..”
Boy pick laughed.
At the same time, the appearance disappeared.
Sunburst Wave.
You can see the movement between the red world.
Aaron swung the spear toward the place..
“Aiku! It was dangerous..”
The boy jumped back and stepped out of the window range.
“What are you doing?!”
“Why are you blocking it? You told me to kill you, me. Now I want to come and live.?”
“Unity is not this way! This is why I'm like, " Oh, my god.……!”
Aaron's eyes clouded..
Don't do that..
“Aaron, you're so stupid..”
“Quit!”
Phat!
Aaron was out of the cabin in an instant..
But the opponent is the same up user.
After a few teleportation, I followed..
“Not me! I don't have talent.!”
Aaron cried desperately.
“You'll be fine..”
“Not okay. I……!”
“You kept it to the end, right? Your heart.”
Two shadows intersect in the air.
The darkness of each window was thickened.
Kagagagak!
The spear blade with the up is crushed.
Black flames splashed everywhere, smoking smoke.
“Fulfill your master's dream. I, my dream is……!”
“Your dream?”
“I'm satisfied. I was able to keep it! I wasn't helpless this time. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I……!”
It didn't fall apart..
I didn't turn off the light of my heart..
To protect it..
Keep it to the end, to ignite the flames of hope..
It's not like this..
It's not this way..
“I made my dream come true. This power is no longer needed by me! From the beginning, it was the power of the master. It was a force that no one but the master could handle.!”
Each other's shadows burst into flames.
The two don't have any ties to martial arts..
It was just a hit with power..
“Besides, master, don't you have a dream? Dream to win hearts. Fulfill that dream! That's the only thing left of me......……!”
“Stupid bastard..”
Caen!
The silvery window turns and bounces like a pinwheel..
I couldn't see how it happened..
Aaron hesitated..
I tried to get up, but my body didn't budge..
An intangible shadow bound him.
“Stop...... Leave.”
The boy approaches, pointing at the window..
Tuk.
At one point, a silent spear touched Aaron's heart..
“…….”
After.
The boy put the spear on his back.
And I squatted down and made eye contact with Aaron.
“Aaron.”
“Master's dream...... Please…….”
“You still don't know? When you leave your dreams to others, nothing changes. A dream is something you have to fulfill on your own. and…….”
The boy smiled.
“My dream has already come true.”
“Example?”
“Next, it's your turn..”
The boy's hand approaches..
“Defend. That your precious thing. Not by anyone, but by your power..”
“Master, I……!”
“It's okay. Everything's fine..”
The boy's small palm covered Aaron's two eyes.
With him, the world changed.
* * *
The memory changes..
Perception is distorted.
What you knew, what you should have known, is beginning to be forgotten..
