MEMORIZE

Chapter 854 Be Infected, Six. =========================================================================

A red cloud crosses the sky. As if running toward the end of the day, the sunset, which painted the entire city, was burning the blue palace with red light.

“Melinus, may I come in for a moment?”

The large library, located below the spiral staircase, also had reddish colors. After the routine, Melinus, who was reading the record at leisure as usual, raised his head, blinking his eyes.

“Come on in.”

Then, with a stuttering sound, a dark shadow fell under the railing shaded by the sunset. As the tall young man who came down the stairs bowed politely and greeted politely, Melinus’ eyes were amazed.

“Huh, who is this? Sir Ryan Winters.”

“I’m sorry for coming so late.”

A handsome young man named Ryan Winters, who spoke in a polite voice, had unusually white hair. The hair, reminiscent of white snow, comes down like a lion’s mane and gently covers his neck. A soft smile spread around Melinus’ mouth as he watched the slowly approaching Winters.

“Don’t mention it. There’s a lion article that says the best knight in the round table, but I don’t know what to do.”

“Ha ha. Can’t you stop calling me that.”

When Winters laughed bitterly, Melinus shrugged.

“No, why not? I personally really like that title.”

“It’s so embarrassing. Just winters is enough.”

“What if I said no?”

“Then I’ll do the same. Melinus may be, star-seeking….”

When Winters said jokingly, Melinus raised his hands and expressed his willingness to surrender. The two users burst out laughing at each other.

Soon after, Winters beckoned his opponent into a chair of authority. Melinus opened his mouth, covering the records on his desk.

“So, what brings you here?”

“I’m sure you’ve already guessed.”

“Hmm.” Melinus’ face, who breathed out a short breath, subsided a little.

“I don’t have a hobby of asking and answering questions, but I’ll try to guess. Not long ago, was it because of the expedition.

“And so is that…Eldora’s been looking strangely low lately.”

Winters said calmly.

“In fact, at first I thought it was because I was disappointed that I couldn’t find a sheath on my last expedition..”

After saying so, he slipped out of words as if he were unlucky. Melinus smiled blandly.

“Maybe you want to hear that from me.”

Then Winters put on an awkward look. As if I hit the nail on the head.

Melinus gently nodded, caressing his beard.

“Well, keep going.”

Winters was spaced out for a moment, and soon began to look down and talk calmly.

“I think the atmosphere has definitely gotten weird recently. It’s a little bit of a slump.”

“Nothing seems strange on the outside. But it’s different. Something is different from before. I can’t really put my finger on it, but….”

After saying that, Winters suddenly raised his eyes and stared at his opponent.

“Melinus, have you seen her?”

“If you’re a woman from a recent expedition, you’ve seen her. I saw it today, too.

“How is it?”

“Well, you still haven’t woken up.”

Winters shook his head quietly as if it wasn’t. However, he remained silent for a while without immediately opening his mouth.

“…I mean.”

Then, finally, Winters brought it up with difficulty.

“When I look at her…I’m talking about feelings that make me anxious for no reason.

Despite the fact that the dusk had turned to its highest level, there was a strange chill and eulogy in the room. Rather than simply feeling cold, only this room has a particularly gloomy and bleak atmosphere.

Eldora is staring at the bed with colorful breathing sounds with a slightly nervous face. The woman lying on the bed had a white blanket over her chest, but only by looking at the curved part, she has a slender body shape, so one can fully guess.

He barely seems to be over 150 centimeters tall, but for some reason he doesn’t feel young. The slim jawline looks a little thin, but it feels rather parched than fragile. Looking at the fine eyebrows and thin shoulders, something dangerous and revealing seems to me.

In other words, she was a woman who felt everything was unclear even when she was looking at her face like this. However, Eldora’s rigidity was not due to her outward appearance.

The main reason is, heterogeneity. This was a feeling that Eldora herself was unable to define correctly.

Objectively speaking, there is no big problem. But when you look at the face of a woman like a ghost with a flowing pitch-black hair, you don’t feel like a human being for some reason. Should I say that it doesn’t smell like people?

Even if you touch it just in case it’s a doll, checking your warm body temperature only strengthens your anti-youl feeling.

As conflicting emotions grew confusing from time to time, Eldora closed her eyes quietly.

‘Thank you.’

The first thing I heard after the gate opened. I didn’t hear a word more on my way back to Ragnarok. Because after leaning on Eldora’s shoulder like she’s fallen, she’s been asleep.

As a result, the expedition was neither a success nor a failure. Although the team succeeded in targeting the team, there was no achievement, let alone a cut. The expression “just wasted effort” would be correct.

Then you just have to let it go, strangely enough, Eldora couldn’t. Throughout his return, he regretted it and felt guilty for no reason.

If you know the cause, you will feel better, but if you don’t know the reason, you will just groan inside like a mute. Furthermore, the anxiety caused by this contradiction intensified every time I saw her closely. Just like now.

It was then.

“……?”

The sound of the door opening slightly broke the silence in the room. Then the gentle walking sign stopped right behind Eldora. Looking back, Eldora blinked her golden eyes a little surprised.

“Erwin?”

It was the fairy Erwin who opened the door. It’s always the same to wear leafy clothes, but today I have a bag of leather and a bow on my back. He looked as if he were about to go on a long trip.

“I was going to say hello before I left.There you are.”

At Erwin’s words Eldora exclaimed inwardly.

“I’m going back to the Fairy’s Forest today.I forgot about it.”

“Yes, I’m sorry. The fate of the clan has come to an end. I think I’ll definitely to attend.”

“Well, come to think of it, I’ve been told it’s been quite noisy about the queen’s election.”

“Right, we haven’t had a queen for a long time. The story is from a long time ago.”

Erwin accepted lightly but was not a happy face. Rather, there is a subtle shade of water in a strange corner. Eldora, who noticed the sign, tilted her head.

“But didn’t you say a few years ago that the Queen was born? I’m sure I remember hearing that.”

I asked as if I couldn’t remember, but Eldora remembered exactly. Because, rare for Erwin that day, he was so happy running around all day that he remained impressive.

“That’s right…”

Erwin, who spoke slightly, smiled bitterly.

“The flower of Wigdrasil has definitely bloomed, but…That’s all.”

However, as if he didn’t want to say more, Eldora decided not to ask any more questions. Everyone has their own reasons.

“I see, then….”

Eldora, who was about to tell her to relax and come back from the trip, said reflexively, shut up.

Erwin’s appearance, which used to be as fresh as grass with dew, has become emaciated compared to the past, giving off a similar look to the sick.k. It is a little sudden to say that it is because of homesickness because he has always been healthy for more than five years since he was welcomed as a colleague in the Fairy Forest.

And most of all, it felt noticeably withered right after the recent expedition.

But to think that way….

“…….”

I felt something, I didn’t like it.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m worried about the election of the fairy queen, and Eldora decided to think this way.

“…Eldora?”

“Oh, I’ll see you off.”

Eldora quickly brought it up with a good mouth.

“What? Oh, no. It’s okay. It’s convenient to go alone.”

“No, I won’t see you for a while, but I’d like to talk to you on the way. So please.”

Whether to refuse a series of requests, Erwin replied with a light smile.

Once again, the door closed carefully and the two women left the room. Then the sound of footsteps ringing in the hallway gradually faded away, and soon completely died down.

Only a woman lies in the space where Eldora and Erwin disappeared.

The room calmed down with endless silence again.

Ian stood and looked at a pile of records filling one side. The day was already dark and the surroundings were dark, but Ian searched through the records one by one with his familiar hand movements.

How long has it been since then.

Ian, who had been scratching and re-picking the records, suddenly threw away the record in his hand and punched the study hard.

Boom!

“Darn it, they’re all useless records.”

It would have been surprising if one of the Knights of the Round Table had seen it. Because I know how much Ian cherishes and likes the world record.

It was Ian who liked to read new records rather than equipment or elixir when he discovered Ragnarok. After work, I always visit the Great Library and stay buried in records until late at night.

The reason why he was able to join the Knights of the Round Table as a non-combatant user in the first place was because he had a vast amount of ancient knowledge that the prophet Melinus could fold and enter.

As such, what I just saw was definitely awkward and felt.

“Who the hell did you wake up to? Why doesn’t he wake up?”

He chews his mouth like he’s nervous and suddenly starts to move. Ian’s footsteps were none other than the bedroom where the woman was asleep.

After sending the employee who was guarding the room to rest for a while, Ian glued to the bed and looked down at the woman. There is no sign of awakening yet.

After looking down at her for such a long time, she suddenly opened her mouth as if she were suffocated.

“Who the hell are you?”

Of course, no reply was returned. The woman was constantly breathing out her chosen breath with her eyes closed, without any expressions.

Ian’s face, which looks at such a woman, also has a sense of regret or remorse, just like Eldora. Of course, only you know the meaning of that emotion.

Ian carefully observed the woman’s body for a while, but that doesn’t mean he can identify her. Eventually, he turned away with a deep sigh.

“I can’t do this. First of all, Bell…Dear Linus.”

Ian stammered slightly and caution opened the door. And after looking around once, I was about to leave the room.

“That means.”

Suddenly, a quiet, clean voice grabbed Ian’s collar as he tried to leave.

“!”

At that moment, Ian’s body stopped for an instant like a robot out of battery. I looked around the room in surprise, but little has changed. The woman is still lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

The only thing that’s changed is that there’s a very light smile around the mouth.

“Are you wondering who took this body?”

As soon as I saw his pretty little lips open, Ian’s eyes were torn apart and his mouth was wide open. But soon he swallowed his breath as hard as he could and turned away quietly closing the door.

At the same time, the woman who finally opened her eyes stared clearly at Ian with clear black eyes.

A little later.

“And Melinus, not Bellinus. I think I confused you with Belial, but it was a pretty good improvisation.”

As soon as he heard what followed, Ian suddenly collapsed and knelt down.

“Oh….”

With trembling eyes, trembling mouth.

But he managed to open his mouth with a look of disbelief, full of joy.

“…Satan?”

Satan: Now, tell me why you TS me.

Ro Yu-jin: Hehe.

…Oh, I’m sorry.

I slept at 22 o’clock for a few days, so I dozed off without realizing it.

I woke up and saw it was 2 a.m. and I panicked.. ^^;

In the previous episode, there were some readers who asked if the seal came off too easily.

I think it’s a natural question at this point.

But this is the part where it’s completely solved by episode 2, so I’ll reveal the answer in the text.

I’ll have to sleep right away and maintain the body rhythm that I barely got.

Have a good night, too, readers.

PS. Episode 6. Let’s get started. And the numbers after the episode are going in reverse order on purpose. In other words, episode 0 (Zero) is an episode that completes the memorization.
