One hundred ways to whitewash Nissan

...

The place that was emphatically circled in the oracle scroll turned out to be a spicy place...

Did you kneel down?

Deftolos, who really wanted to offer his knee to a priestess of the oracle, silently supported the wall...and his stomach by the way.

It hurts a bit, really.

"Deftolos?" The voice of Sagittarius Saint Sisyphus suddenly came from behind Deftolos who was clutching his stomach and supporting the wall.

"Ah? Sisyphus?" Deftolos, who didn't expect to hear his friend's voice at this time, turned around in surprise and looked at the dusty-looking man.

"You're back?"

"Ah, I'm back, it will be my Shougong Yue soon." Looking at Deftolos Sisyphus, who was basically unchanged in front of him, his heart seemed to relax a little.

"Ah, yes..." Deftolos, who looked at the sky and calculated it, remembered that it was indeed the case, and then he reached out and patted Sisyphus on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone,

"Thanks for your hard work."

"... Ah, thank you." Knowing that the other party was comforting him, Sisyphus habitually showed a warm smile, but that smile quickly faded away on that tired face.

You must know that his elder brother, Ilias of the Leo, left the sanctuary after he obtained the Saint Cloth of Sagittarius. Although he came back once because of the succession trial of Aspros, the two brothers did not say much. I just remember that when my elder brother left, I chased after him, but he refused without hesitation when he wanted to keep him, and the words "Athena and the sanctuary will be handed over to you" when my elder brother left made him even more intrigued. I had a very bad premonition.

It seemed that he would never see his brother again.

"Sisyphus, Lord Ilias is sure to be fine, we will help you to pay attention." Deftolos, who really couldn't think of anything else to comfort Sisyphus, could only say this.

He could not tell Sisyphus himself that Elias the Leo was terminally ill and would soon die.

Sisyphus never saw Elias again.

That farewell is the eternal farewell.

"Well, thank you, Deftolos." The gentle expression swept away the fatigue on Sisyphus, as if he had regained his energy, Sisyphus smiled and looked at the person in front of him,

"By the way, I really want to know, why are you supporting the wall here alone?"

"..." Deftolos, who instantly thought of the results of the investigation because of Sisyphus's question, felt his stomach start to ache again.

"Deftolos? Hey, are you okay? His face is ugly..." Sisyphus, who was a little amused by the sudden change of expression on the other side's face, clearly saw that the expression on Deftolos' face was completely different. It's a helpless expression of "I'm cheating on my father".

"Ah, it's okay..." The more he thought about it, Deftolos twitched his lips, but he didn't want to hide it from Sisyphus.

"You know the mission I went to fetch the oracle, right?"

"I know." Sisyphus also knew about Deftolos's mission, and he also provided a lot of information in a friendly manner.

"...Could it be that you found out the location described by the oracle?"

What Sisyphus was referring to was naturally the oracle that belonged only to the twin brothers.

"Hmm." Deftolos nodded in pain.

"Where...is it?" The curious Sisyphus looked at Deftolos, whose face was getting bluer and greener because of his own problems, a little speechlessly.

"#￥%&..." Deftolos, whose face finally turned black, suddenly spoke a long sentence that Sisyphus couldn't understand at all.

"Deftelos, what are you talking about?" Sisyphus, who felt overwhelmed by the black line, discovered for the first time that Deftelos would show such an expression. He thought only Aspoulus could Will it be like this.

As expected of a brother (← ah hey

"……Nothing at all!"

I don't know if it was Sisyphus' illusion, but he seemed to hear the gnashing of teeth in Deftolos' voice.

"...Where is that place?" Sisyphus, who thought it would be better to clarify the matter, asked persistently, and looked at Deftolos' black face by the way, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

"..." The corners of Deftolos's lips twitched a few more times, and then he uttered three words under Sisyphus's questioning gaze,

"Canon Island."

"Deftolos, what did you say?" Aspoulos, who felt as if he was hallucinating, stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes, and his words were full of disbelief.

"Aspros, I said, I want to leave the sanctuary." Deftolos, who looked at his brother seriously, looked very calm,

"Myself."

"...why..." Deftolos has been enduring him from morning to night and "retreating" in the Aquarius Palace all day long. Even his younger brother's hair can't be found. When I came back, I got such a sentence.

Leaving the sanctuary, he is alone.

He also used such a relaxed tone, as if he was relieved.

Tired of him?

Don't want to stay by your side anymore?

Won't stay by your side anymore?

...something like this...something like this...

How can he accept it? ! !

"Deftolos, you..." Aspros, who had just raised his eyes to face Deftolos, saw Deftolos' expectant face in his eyes.

"...Hey, Aspros, I think there must be something in that ghost oracle circled, so I'm going to check it out." After being enlightened, Deftolos is now full of thoughts. It's the next thing to travel.

"Ah?" Aspros, who felt as if he had misunderstood something after hearing what Deftolos said, uttered a single word with strong doubts.

"...Aspulos, you didn't listen to me at all at first..." Deftolos, who felt the corners of his mouth twitching after seeing Aspros's stupid look, said the last thing he wanted to say in conclusion.

"...Ah, I'm sorry..." Aspros, who knew that he had really deserted, quickly put on a flattering and apologetic smile.

"...I said..." Deftolos, who couldn't help but help his forehead, sighed, and could only drag his Nissan to find a quiet place to repeat what the other party hadn't heard just now.

"...So you want to go there and have a look?" Aspoulos, who listened carefully this time, confirmed.

"Yeah." Deftolos nodded without hesitation, having made his plan directly.

"Alone?" Aspoulos, who wanted to persuade the other party to give up this idea, began to speak.

"Well, alone." Although he knew that parting was hard, Deftolos always felt that since he knew the place, there was always a voice in his heart telling himself to go and have a look.

lingering in the ears.

Like a mosquito, a bit annoying ==

"But you may say it alone... I will accompany you." Aspros, who was worried about his brother being alone, decided to give up those rhetoric. Looking at Deftolos, he knew that he had already Made a decision.

Although Deftolos has always been very talkative, if a decision is made, generally no one can change it.

including yourself.

Then, he can settle for the next best thing and go with him.

"No, no need, Aspoulos, you still have responsibilities, don't you?" Reaching out and knocking on the golden holy cloth on Aspoulos' body, Deftolos showed the same smile as before,

"I'm fine on my own."

"Those are not important, the important thing is you..." Aspros, who put those heavy responsibilities behind him without any hesitation, received a disapproving look from Deftolos.

"Aspoulos, you have always been very responsible." Deftolos is glad that Aspoulos puts himself above everything else, but that doesn't mean he wants Aspoulus to be a responsible person. responsible person.

Now that he has chosen to live here, he must abide by the rules here, and since Aspros has become a golden saint, he must also shoulder corresponding responsibilities.

He wanted to support him and stand side by side with him, but he didn't want to be the existence that held him back.

He didn't want Aspros to lose even his basic principles because of himself.

"You are a golden saint, shouldering the responsibility of defending Athena and the sanctuary... As for the love and justice of the earth, the burden is too heavy for you to guess..." Deftolos inserted a short thought in the middle Looking at Aspros in front of him with very serious eyes, he put his hands on his shoulders and shook them hard.

"I don't want you to value me so much that you lose your principles."

"Deftelos..."

"Furthermore," Deftolos, who interrupted Aspoulos' words, let go of the hand on Aspoulos' shoulder, and patted his shoulder with a sunny face.

"Don't you believe in my strength?"

"...How could I not believe you..." Aspros, who had been staring at Deftolos's face for a while, suddenly showed a complex expression of relief,

"It's just that I can't help but worry..."

Some things can't be said, at least until they survive.

"Don't worry, I've been on missions myself in the past few years, didn't they all come back safe and sound?" Deftolos, who had an expression of "I'm doing things, you're relieved," looked very embarrassing.

"However, who was the person who got lost in the previous mission and delayed the mission time by nearly twice?" Aspros said with a slightly teasing smile on his face.
