a deserted square.
When only the faint light revealed its presence, a shadow shook in the corner of the plaza..
Two figures gently overlapping each other).
It was Ulan and Laurea..
“how is it? not comfortable?”
Seeing Ulan lying with his head on her leg, Laurea smiled wryly..
But the smile didn't last long.
It was because Ulan, who was tossing and turning, suddenly stood up from his seat. Seeing this, Laurea frowned and asked again..
“what? why wake up?”
“Uncomfortable with a broken back.”
So I chose to sit next to.
Of course, it was narrow, but.
On the other hand, Laurea, who was making a sullen expression, soon smiled as if she had never done that before..
“well, this isn't too bad.”
As much as I sat closely, I was able to lean my head on her shoulder naturally. She rested her head on her uhlan's shoulder without a word..
some time after that.
Laurea has spoken.
“Hey. Ulan.”
“hmm?”
“if it is What do you want to do the most after subjugating the remaining lords and ending all battles??”
A question that came out of nowhere.
but didn't answer right away.
Perhaps it was because he had devoted all his energy to the mission of getting rid of the Lord of the Abyss, or because he had never really thought about what happened after that..
After thinking for a while, Ulan spoke out what immediately came to his mind..
“I just want to graduate from the academy.”
“Yes? why? If the Lord of the Abyss is gone, you won't have to go to the academy.?”
Laurea asked curiously..
I heard that Ulan entered Arsene Academy in order to confront the Lord of the Abyss after obtaining a clue to the level of a superhuman..
In other words, the reason for entering the academy disappears at the point of subjugating all the monarchs. She was no wonder she put on her puzzled expression..
“Not necessarily.”
Ulan, on the other hand, shook his head..
As she said, Ulan's original purpose for entering Arsene Academy was to find clues about the superhuman realm..
However, while living at the academy, he learned various knowledge and studies, and Ulan learned the fun of learning something in the process..
“So, I plan to continue going to the academy without quitting. At least I'm aiming to graduate.”
“umm, that's right.”
Was it an unexpected answer??
Laurea nodded with a look of surprise. Then, this time, a question came in from Ulan in reverse..
“what do you want to do?”
“me? I am…….”
At the sudden question, Laurea hung her tail as if contemplating an answer..
However, the worry did not last long.
Because unlike Ulan, she had already decided what she wanted to do..
“I'm going to beat the saintess.”
“……what?”
“huh? what are you so surprised?”
Of course I couldn't help but be surprised.
It was a completely unexpected answer.
Especially if it had been Laurea in her last life, she would never have said it. At the time, she was proud of the fact that she was a saint..
“Why does the saintess want to quit??”
“That's right, I didn't do it because I wanted to, and above all, Byul's voice is quite annoying..”
I heard and understood.
The voice of the star that can be heard all the time was also the root cause of Laurea drinking every night..
And one more, there was a reason.
“Also, if you stop being a saint, you'll be free. Then she can live a normal life. You can date like everyone else, and you can have children..”
Laurea with a shy smile.
Wiggling her fingers, she glanced at Ulan. With strangely burning eyes.
Ulan, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought, unaware of her gaze..
“It's an ordinary life…….”
This answer was new to Ulan..
Because the Laurea in his memory had no interest in the opposite sex. But as he ponders it, he thinks that such a life might not be so bad..
Ulan knew better than anyone else what a difficult and painful path Laurea had gone through in her past life..
Ulan nodded silently..
“I think that would be fine too.”
“hehe, yes?”
Laurea smiled brightly at the way she supported the decision she had made without denying it. At the same time, Ulan continued her words as if muttering..
“If one day such a day really comes, then from then on, I'll have to call you 'Irea'.”
Laurea's real name, Irea.
The moment Ulan mentioned this, Laurea suddenly shook her head. Then he gave a somewhat unexpected answer..
“No, you can call me now.”
“what? but you…….”
Ulan's eyes widened slightly..
That's probably because Laurea hated being called by her real name..
The reason was that she remembered her poor and unhappy childhood before becoming a saintess candidate. Then Laurea shook her head again..
“Ulan is an exception.”
When I was young, I made a promise.
If one day I find someone I can open up to and rely on, I want to be called by my real name, not Laurea..
“Of course, only when we're alone.”
As long as Laurea is a saint, the name 'Irea' cannot be called carelessly. Mentioning secular names is a violation of doctrine..
but it's ok now.
Because there was no one around.
“so call me.”
Is it because I got a little drunk??
Laurea turned her reddish face to Ulan. After a while, Ulan nodded slowly and said.
“i get it. Irea.”
“……tell me again.”
“Irea.”
“one more time.”
After that, she begged me to call her real name several times, and it was only after a long time that she smiled brightly as if she was satisfied..
At the end of the conversation, all of a sudden, the lights in the plaza went out..
“hmm? what is it all of a sudden?”
“Maybe it's past midnight.”
Laurea pointed to the clock tower in the plaza..
As she said, the current time was just past midnight. After a while, she let out a deep sigh through her hardened face..
“haha, you're finally here.”
The moment to reveal the truth to everyone.
After half a day or so, the secret of Ulan and Noah must be revealed. 'Cause I promised you I'd do it.
“Still a bit scary.”
“Scary, what do you mean??”
“To reveal a secret to everyone.”
After answering, Laurea wrapped her arms around her trembling shoulders. Then she muttered in a whisper, darkening her complexion..
“I'm scared. As Ulan knows, similar things have happened a few times in the past..”
Laurea's special power, Projection Eye).
After this ability became known, people around her gradually began to distance themselves from her..
‘Of course there were exceptions.’
Cadel and Ian didn't change their attitude even after knowing the existence of the Projection Eye. Also, it was the same with Ulan and Noah, whom I met at Arsene Academy..
‘but this time…….’
the situation itself was different.
Ulan and Noah's secret is far more shocking and unbelievable than the projection. So there is a good chance that the attitude will change..
Then Ulan opened his mouth.
“I'm not really okay.”
“me really?”
“okay. It was something I had to tell everyone anyway..”
Ulan answers calmly.
Laurea looked at him in amazement..
In fact, there was no tension or fear in his voice..
“Above all, you don't have to worry about things that haven't happened yet. If you have a problem, then you should go and think about it..”
Thinking about it right now will only increase your worries.
nothing is solved.
Laurea was dazed at this answer, then burst into a low laugh..
“Ahaha, it's kind of strange.”
“what do you mean?”
“I was anxious until just now, but after hearing Ulan's words, I strangely feel at ease..”
It was an answer without a countermeasure, but at the same time it was a simple and clear answer. Laurea's worries hadn't even happened yet..
‘Yeah, you don't have to be afraid anymore.’
Even so, nothing changes.
So it would be better to follow Ulan's words. Laurea grinned as the worries and anxieties that colored her heart disappeared..
“Oh, if you get abandoned by other kids, then come to me. I'm on the side of crying no matter what.”
“hmm? to be abandoned?”
“Whoops, there's something like that.”
Laurea burst into laughter once again, seeing Ulan make a puzzled expression..
It was with a feeling of relief.
Meanwhile, after finishing the conversation, Ulan looked at the clock tower again. Afterwards, he checked the time well past midnight and muttered:.
“I'd better go back now.”
We rested enough to rest and talked enough..
Laurea's anxiety seemed to have dissipated somewhat, and above all, she had to go back to reveal the truth to everyone in the morning..
Laurea, on the other hand, thought differently..
“……no.”
She hugged Ulan from behind as he walked towards the hotel. Then he whispered in a small voice.
“i'm still not enough.”
I want to be with you a little longer.
At least until the sun rises.
In fact, this is a violation of doctrine..
But Laurea didn't care..
I gathered the warriors according to the oracle and subdued Asteban, so I thought that even the Holy Ghost would forgive this level of deviation..
‘So a little more…….’
It's okay to be foolish.
You can enjoy a little bit more sweet time. Laurea thought so.
But the sweet time she expected didn't last as long as she thought. She was with a number of pretenders that came out of nowhere..
“finally found.”
A girl with both eyes wide open.
It was Ibella.
It's not just her. Dillia and Perticia also surrounded them, and Sven could be seen from a distance..
“……ah.”
Upon confirming Sven's presence, Laurea realized how the three girls had found her..
At that moment.
An angry cry rang out..
“hold on now!”
Dillia's angry voice as a signal.
Ibella and Perticia, who were surrounded on all sides, rushed. The two girls separated from Laurea, who hugged Ulan without saying who was first..
A sweet day that monopolized Ulan.
It was the moment when a short break came to an end..
