No. 359
‘What are you talking about?’
How much effort did everyone, including me, work to create a world without Neriad and the Temples.
Finally I can defeated Neriad. And leaving my family's worries and anxieties behind, I came here to find Adrian.
But, I can't just leave everyone behind and stay here to be happy.
I will be happy here.
But what about the families there?
Friends?
Colleagues?
‘You have to go back. It's right to go back.'
Adrian's voice was heard again as soon as I thought about it.
[Why do you think you can go back?]
'What?'
[You are only here thanks to my strength and the last strength of Neriad. Neriad is now completely gone, and I have no strength left to send you back.]
‘That’s……'
[Yes, LeBlaine. The place where you go through the passage of God again may be Mina's world, maybe your first life, or maybe a different world we are not aware of.]
I stared blankly at the light.
Adrian who talked to me standing tall as if I were stubborn.
[Do you need take a risk to get back?]
“……”
[This is the perfect world for you. A world only for you.]
“……”
[So LeBlaine, as long as you're happy, it's fine. …… Here.]
The crouched light spread throughout the space as if stretching. I floated in the light. It was when my toes were completely off the ground.
"Hi."
A sadly small voice passed through my ear.
* * *
After Adrian killed Agareth and became a pioneer, he did not know how many years had passed.
At first, it seems that he counted the years, but after the number exceeded one hundred, he did not try to remember them separately.
Sometimes it was in the past, and sometimes it was in the future, so the numbers were meaningless in the first place.
What was clear, however, that it was a terrible time.
Adrian has witnessed LeBlaine's death countless times.
He even kept a reset to protect LeBlaine in her first life.
However, the Temple blamed Dubbleed for a crime that was not found in Dubbleed, and as the family fell, the young LeBlaine was burned with the fear created by the Temple.
‘I can do it again. I can protect you this time.’
Returning to the day Ressette died, Adrian told Theodore Dubbleed where his daughter was.
The former Duke Dubbleed, who had colluded with the Temple, followed Theodore.
The predecessor killed Theodore before he could find his daughter, and LeBlaine led a more miserable life than before.
'Again.'
The day before LeBlaine was chosen as the child of fate, Adrian informed Duke Dubbleed, who had grown in power, that his daughter was still alive.
The Temple and Dubbleed waged a war over her.
The Empire was devastated, and LeBlaine was pointed at as the culprit of the war.
A few days before LeBlaine was coming of age, someone who had lost a child to war killed her.
LeBlaine's the first life died over and over again, no matter what method he used.
'Again.'
Maybe LeBlaine hasn't been trained to survive the world because she hasn't gone through a regression.
Adrian crossed over to LeBlaine's second life, pushing Duke Amity and annihilating Duke Valois so that she could choose Duke Dubbleed.
Then she was adopted, this time she was in Duke Marche.
LeBlaine accidentally found out that Duke Marche was entangled with Ivan, a member of the evil God, and was killed by Duke Marche.
'Again.'
Then the third life.
Adrian informed LeBlaine, who had grown to a certain extent, of the existence of her biological father. She was the same for Theodore Dubbleed.
Theodore was concentrated on his daughter, so he couldn't inspect to his teritory, and by then the epidemic that swept the Empire reached the Dubbleed's teritory.
Duke Dubbleed died because of a epidemic, and LeBlaine had to suffer for her whole life, remembering her father, who couldn't protect him in order to hide even though she could.
'Again!'
Then the fourth life.
Adrian did everything he remembered.
He went to his young self, handed over the Marquis, and prepared everything for the young himself to protect LeBlaine.
But in the end, the fourth life was the same. Nothing has changed.
‘Again, again……!’
No first life, no second life, no third life, no fourth life, then to ancient times.
Adrian went to the ancients time and make sure Neriad can't defeat Serga.
But he failed.
Failed again.
And fail.
‘How can I protect you?’
Adrian hugged LeBlaine's cold corpse and cried.
How the heck can I make sure you don't suffer?
What should I do...…
For more than several hundred years, the sin of disrupting the flow of time had broken Adrian's body and he lost his strength.
Now, there was no strength left to travel through time, to cross parallel lines, or even to maintain a body.
The only thing Adrian could do was to be tied to the ancient times, the “First Time” of LeBlaine, and to just surrender as time went by.
I lost my will and broke down.
I had no choice but to look at the litle girl who grew up resenting and resenting herself.
That's what saved her...…
[Hello, crow.]
…… It was you.
Adrian become a crow and stretch out her hand towards him who was resting on a branch.
[Are you alone? I am alone.]
[My brother and I went across the river with Serga. You have to wait patiently by yourself. But I'm not sad. Boone, Purr, Baal, and a little bit worse, but there is Paimon.]
[You won't be sad because I'll be by your side.]
LeBlaine who rested on her little hand and came to him every day saved him again.
When LeBlaine like light was by his side, children flocked to him.
The children, who had been chasing crows all day, returned to their parents' call at sunset, and LeBlaine, left alone, leaned on the old tree and waited for her brother, who had emptied his seat.
One day LeBlaine was weary of her loneliness and she hugged the crow in her arms, one day she wept for her brother who did not come for a long time. One day, she looked enviously at the children who take their mothers' hand and return to their house.
[Mom……]
The litle girl, who had been muttering involuntarily, shook her head.
[Nope. I don't need a mother. I have a brother.]
Adrian decided to use all his remaining strength for her, who was even guilty of being alone.
In the future, it transforms into the power of an army that has been subordinated to the family, and is reset, waiting for that child in the old tree.
[This is my secret place with my crow friend. Why are you here?]
When LeBlaine reached out to the whispering child behind the old tree, she hesitated and stepped back.
[Oppa said you shouldn't follow people you don't know...…]
[……]
[…… Who are you? This is the aura of a pioneer, but are you also a pioneer?]
[Yes, I am a pioneer. So you can come by my side.]
[But...… But.]
[It's okay.]
[……]
[Okay, sweetheart.]
LeBlaine, who had only been staring at Adrian, cautiously approached and she hugged him.
‘Oh, why are you……'
I wanted to comfort you, but why are you comforting me?
The warmth seeped into Adrian's arms and became his strength. Again, LeBlaine gave him the strength to stand up.
It sounded like a lot of those kids he couldn't protect.
Even if it's awkward, it's okay to be so weak.
‘It was you after all.’
No pain, no sorrow, no joy, no happiness, no strength to rise again...… It was all her to him.
LeBlaine was a person who never lost her light in the face of adversity. Adrian, who loved her, couldn't curl up in his adversity.
As a result, the ruined time became a blade at every moment, slicing the skin and tightening the lungs, but it didn't matter for Adrian.
Adrian's memories to saved LeBlaine, attached to his broken skin, and his memories of loving her gave him ointment to his bitter pores.
One day when time passed like that.
The world shook.
The parallel world, divided into tens or hundreds, was consolidated or broken. It was a signal that Neriad, the God of this world, had disappeared.
Adrian felt it instinctively, even without anyone telling him.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
If I can't save you by my own strength, let's create a world for you.
The moment Neriad died is the only chance to create a world for LeBlaine.
Back in antiquity, the aftermath of the future spilled over, killing the weakened Neriad with Adrian's own hands.
Adrian ousted Serga and took over the world.
He became God and created a new world.
‘You need to have parents to be born.’
Making 'Dubbleed'.
‘You must have colleagues in case you come.’
Give your co-workers a seat.
‘You have to make sure your parents aren’t seen as wrong.’
Give Ressette a plausible place to be born.
And.
‘…… I've been waiting for you.'
Hundreds of years later, LeBlaine was still lovely.
Adrian wants to run and hug LeBlaine.
However, in this parallel world, Adrian's body is completely broken, and her mate lacks a broken God.
Adrian can't be around, but he has made the world for LeBlaine.
That was it.
‘You must have been happy.’
The probability of returning to the original world is only one in hundreds. A smart kid wouldn't take a risk.
She said so she won't go back.
Adrian can't come to see LeBlaine on the Beginning Day.
Well done.
It is now.
‘All you have to do is be happy, LeBlaine.’
So it was the Beginning Day.
As soon as the dawn came, the cracked body began to crumble with a squeaky sound.
‘Last moment, I’m glad I met you.’
LeBlaine.
LeBlaine.
LeBlaine...…
‘I am you. …… You.'
It was a moment when Adrian smiled and closed his eyes.
Someone ran from afar.
“Adrian!”
Calling him.
The girl's crying face was visible in his blurred vision.
An intruder who majestic invading God's space embraces him.
Adrian stared blankly at the girl, who was hesitantly pulling his scattered body with her small hands.
"Why……”
“Why! I'm here to pick you up!"
“But this world……”
LeBaine bit her lip and glared at Adrian.
“No matter how happy I am, it’s okay if I don’t have you.”
“……”
“I will go with you. I will be with you.”
“……”
