90 – Past Life (5)

I opened my eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Adyllun, who was sleeping involuntarily, looking at me. I wanted to thank her right away, but I couldn’t wake her up.

There was no reason why the person who had just been calling me and waiting for me to wake up fell asleep so suddenly, but I immediately knew why.

It was because he saw the future Adylune, which gradually disappeared at the end, heading somewhere. To say it’s just extinction, since she was crumbling and the wreckage of her disappearing flowed outwards… … .

Perhaps, right now, Adilun is facing his future self.

I gently picked her up and headed for her room. night already late. It is a quiet night scene with no one awake.

The face of her sleeping quietly is so lovely. Maybe, if it wasn’t for her… … I must have gone back to my old temper without coming to my senses. At best, he lost his conscious humanity.

I kissed her softly asleep mouth, sat on a chair in her room, and looked at her. So that she can face her future self and see me first after all the encounters.

If it was my territory until just now, it will be hers from now on.

I opened my eyes. He must have been watching Physis in pain. somewhere here

I looked around. I saw my favorite scenery of Rodenov.

Especially the top of the bell tower of Caltix Citadel. The place where the bell was was a place I used to visit from time to time as I liked to tour Rodenov.

And there, it wasn’t just me. I saw the figure of a woman surrounded by black mist.

[What, this is… … ?]

When she opened her mouth, the black mist that had been swirling around her began to settle, and then her figure was revealed.

The ends of the blackened hair were split and unsightly, and the blackened, cracked horns were pitiful to look at. Moreover, the black scales on the body little by little were quite different from the ones I threw off all the scales when I shed.

Above all… … A black plague pierced her upper chest.

And every morning, every time I face the mirror, I have no choice but to see the face.

that was me

“… … me?”

[what… … How am I here… … ?]

“who are you?”

I was obviously taking care of a distressed Physis. However, it was not enough that I was suddenly drawn to such a space, and I was facing myself. The me who was exhausted from carrying a lot of suffering.

I don’t know if that’s why… … I asked her in a very warm tone, as if comforting her. Like taking care of a lost child.

She looked at me blankly, then let out a sigh and muttered:

[ha… … That’s how it happened.]

“yes?”

At my question, she looked up at the sky once as if she realized something, and then looked at me again. It was a face full of determination.

[I am you. Adilun Rodenov. exactly… … It should be the future you.]

“Future me?”

Is that my future self? What makes you look so sad?

“Perhaps… … Can you tell me what happened?”

[Oh, I forgot to explain one thing. To put it properly, I am you in a state where Physis has not reformed until the end.]

“… … What?”

[He’s changed in the time you’re living now, but he hasn’t changed in the time I’ve lived.]

“… … Is that why you changed like that?”

[It wasn’t all his fault. However, he is the one who caused me to become like this. I’ll explain in detail.]

Perhaps it was because I had sent her a favor, she softened her tone a little and began to tell me a story.

Now is the time when time went back once. And that she was me at the very beginning, from the beginning.

Unable to overcome the wounds he received from Physis, he finally killed him… … An irreversible relationship with Ortaire.

So, after being hurt and losing my parents to the monster king, I struggled to somehow rebuild the north and drove out the plague… … That he was completely corrupted by anger at the selfishness of humans.

And, and.

Even the fact that I went to another world and slaughtered the people of that world while annihilating the beings of the continent I live in.

And… … From co-destroying the reincarnated Physis, to returning time, to awakening from the place where Physis’ inner evil resided.

It was an unbelievable story, but I could understand it. So it was.

So Physics has changed.

Joy and sadness fill at the same time. I was happy that he had changed and that I was able to avoid such a tragedy, and it was sad that I felt sorry for myself, who was the first to go through such a tragedy.

[So you have nothing to worry about. affectionate me He has completely abandoned his inner evil, and is out of the situation I tried to corrupt him. Moreover, if you have already dealt with the monster king… … Maybe you won’t have to go through what I went through.]

“And you?”

At first, I smiled bitterly at my question.

[It should disappear now. ‘Cause there’s no place for me to be still… … I’m glad the things I loved weren’t broken again this time.]

“Is there any way you can live?”

[Couldn’t it be? that there is no place for me Originally, it was possible to be in the place where the evil of Physis dwells, but now that is impossible.]

I hated seeing her disappear. After all, I am not myself. Walking on a road dotted with sadness, disappearing like this… … I didn’t like it.

As I watched her shape gradually begin to crumble with a relieved expression, I unconsciously held her hand. Then, part of my hand turned black. Apparently she’s the same age as me, so it seemed to be affected.

“Then what about me?”

[…] … Are you insane? I am now the crystallization of all negativity. The moment you accept me, there is no guarantee what will happen. If you do something wrong, your relationship with Physis might be ruined.]

“it’s okay. I can get over it.”

[I don’t know what kind of confidence it is, but I hate myself. in vain… … I don’t want to be fooled anymore.]

“A little more… … let’s live with me There may be happy things.”

[…] … Maybe it is. However, I am too tired to lean on such an uncertain future.]

“So you’re thinking of disappearing like this?”

[yes. ‘Cause I’ve lived too long Enduring the flow of time, enduring it… … because I came here But at least I’m glad you guys can be happy.]

I couldn’t say anything. From her exhausted look, I could see how painful and hopeless she had lived.

But I suddenly thought that if I made her disappear like this, I would regret it for the rest of my life.

So I was forced… … He took her hand and pulled her into a hug. It was an instinctive move. The more I touched, the more I felt a part of me turn black… … maybe i can do it like this

And that instinct was the answer.

[you… … ! Crazy?]

“I can get over it. Neither the storm nor the tidal wave of negative emotions. therefore… … Let’s go together.”

She shut her mouth at my stubborn expression.

[You or Phishis… … Both are stupid idiots.]

“yes. Maybe. Maybe we love each other because we look alike.”

[…] … If you accept me, maybe I will be absorbed by you. And I will be one with you The memories and life I’ve lived through will weigh you down. You are you and I will be you The process will be excruciatingly painful. you might lose yourself still… … it’s okay?]

I immediately nodded. That much was expected. Probably very painful, very difficult.

but… … Then, wouldn’t it be possible for me and she to become one whole, love the same person, and look ahead. Wouldn’t it be possible to dream of a happy future, not a painful and difficult future?

It was a risky gamble. The odds of success are pretty low.

So, I had no intention of leaving. Maybe Phishes would like that too.

“it’s okay. I can get over it. He will guide you and me, just as I did.”

[…] … great. Obviously, you allowed it.]

Like that, my body gradually began to be stained, and the scales that I hated so much began to grow again all over my body.

And the terribly negative emotions and the hopeless memories that dwell in them became a tidal wave and hit me.

I was dreaming of hope, and just like that I was swept away by the tidal wave. With the certainty that if I am wrong he will guide me.

Obviously, it will.

Changes were beginning in the sleeping body of Adyllun. Her body trembled as she slept peacefully, and soon scales sprouted and subsided on her body repeatedly. Arms, legs, and parts of the body were discolored black, and were repeating to regain their color.

“Ugh… … .”

A painful moan escapes from his mouth.

I went straight to her. Obviously, he would have reunited with Adyllun in the future. And because of her good nature, he would have accepted her.

I held her hand, just like she did, and talked to her endlessly.

“Adilon. are you okay. It will be fine. you can come back Don’t give in to the negative. Don’t be eaten by painful memories. I am thinking of the future that will be with me in the future.”

Silently, imagining a future together, I handed it to her.

Her expression began to soften. He was still suffering, but it was clear that he was getting over it bit by bit.

I kept talking to her. Now that this job is over, let’s go on a trip. There is a wide open sea in the warm south, and it is possible to go to other continents through that sea.

Let’s see fun things and enjoy many things.

OK… … Gradually, Adilon’s painful groaning began to subside. And her body gradually started to stabilize.

Little by little scales sprouted on her body, like Adyllun of the future. I could see dainty scales on my chin, cheeks, arms and legs. It didn’t cover the whole body like before, and at first glance, it was a rather attractive figure.

Before long, what appeared above the chest of her lightly cut nightgown was a bright white rebellion.

When it was all over, her eyes widened.

“… … Phishes?”

“Adilune.”

“I accepted everything. The Adyllun of the future will soon be born, and I will soon become the Adyllun of the future. Her inclinations and my inclinations merged, her memories and my memories and emotions all merged.”

“Know.”

“you are… … Are you okay though? It might not be the me you used to love.”

“Whatever you are… … It’s okay because I’m determined to love you.”

“… … yes.”

“It’s nice to be back, Adilune.”

“Continue, thank you for calling me. So I was able to overcome it.”

“It must have been painful, but I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything else.”

“Ugh, no. are you okay. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to get over it.”

“… … Do you still resent me?”

“no. We may have gone through all of those processes and arrived at this point. We hated each other and were sad, but maybe that’s why we met again.”

“Maybe.”

“So it’s okay. The me who loved you, the me who grumbled and fell, the me now is the same person, the you without humanity, the future you who gave up your life to save people, the you now are all the same person. therefore… … it’s okay.”

“yes.”

“So for now, I think this will suffice.”

“What do you mean?”

“I love you. Phishes.”

“… … I love you too. Adilune.”

We hugged each other, without saying anything, and felt each other’s warmth.
