Desire

“I see.”

With a smile on his face, Ajin looks at Daisy's group. When I was thinking about how to get rid of it, it was good. Jeremiah acknowledges only himself, and they are not entitled to climb the cliff. So, what do we do? Should I put on a bad face? Thinking about the journey so far, I would like to express my regret for not being together to the end. Or should I be stubborn? You said you couldn't do that to Jeremiah, and that it would mean nothing if you didn't all go together.

“I can't help it. ”

Do nothing. Azin was going to make fun of you, so he didn't wipe his smile. The goal was to go to the blue volcano in the first place, not to conquer the blue volcano. It's interesting to climb to the top and get to new areas beyond, but Azin has a wide choice. The goal of the blue volcano from the beginning was to find the unknown area that the user could not reach, and to obtain information about it. It will be money if you sell it, and it will remain an experience even after beta service openings.

And the more people who know the information, the less valuable it is.

When I think about it, it took me a long time. It was their first thought to familiarize themselves with party play, and they brought them as long term horses and meat shields for hunting grounds they had never experienced before. But that's it, too. This is an area that Azin cannot take. After insisting on Jeremiah, he couldn't accept the recognition they deserved.

I didn't postpone my grief because

“Well done so far. ”

Because I don't love that party. Daisy is jealous of herself with inferiority and defeat, and it is unclear whether or not she has been exposed to the epilepsy she did, but what happened yesterday made that party no longer trust her. You don't have to force a squeaky party. So I mock. I didn't believe them from the beginning, but as the situation changes with believing in myself, that attitude that turns belief into jealousy and disbelief is disgusting.

In fact, when I think about it, he didn't do anything to them. Daisy first showed her hostility to Ajin, so she countered him, but she really didn't do anything to Hogway and Lina. It has allowed me to benefit, and it has taken me to far-off places that do not match the fountain. Even with that attitude, I'm ready to repay you with a vengeance. Azin shrugs without clearing his smile.

“The blue volcano you wanted to go to... I'm so sorry it's come to this. ”

Why don't you grieve a little bit? No. Ajin made the smile darker. It was a party that did not give love and trust. So it doesn't hurt their transformation. However, I was annoyed. Abandoning them had to be agony. Since Ajin chose them, discarding them must be exhausting. But that's the one who tried to dump him. Fountain idiots. Azin swallows a smile.

“But what can I do? This is your limit. ”

Ajin opens his arms. Daisy's face trembling with shame, her head bowing down in the sewers. Lina crying. The wind isn't rising. Azin looked up at the sky and thought, If only the wind were cooler. It's a pity.

“Daisy.”

Ajin calls her.

“You're the one who said you were going to the blue volcano. So how are you feeling right now? The destination you wanted to go to is right around the corner, and now you're so weak that you can't climb up... how does it feel? I don't know. I'm not stuck, and I'm leaving. Maybe I'll never know. How you're feeling right now. ”

“Phew...! ”

Daisy takes a breath and chews on her lips. She was the beginning of everything. I was so inspired by my inferiority that I just... If I hadn't, I could have organized the relationship a little more neatly and beautifully. I don't know, that. Azin smiles in relief.

“I can't accept that.”

Daisy opens her mouth. She raises her head, lowering her tight-fitted spear toward Azin.

“Why, why don't we deserve it? We too..!"

“You got some nerve. ”

Azin laughs and cuts off Daisy's words. Daisy stiffens her gaze and stares at him. He shrugs and approaches Daisy with a light gait.

“You don't deserve it. What did you do in the battle with Jeremiah right now? One face, knocked out? Lina, who healed you and aided you in battle, seems to have a higher battle contribution than you. ”

Daisy shuts up. There was nothing to argue with. There was little she did in the battle with Jeremiah, and the attack on Jeremiah was never successful. Daisy bows her head.

It's not fair.

Daisy stammers and mutters. In saying this, he opened his eyes and tilted his head.

“What?”

“That's not fair... Why are you...! ”

Daisy raises her head. The shaking eyes fluttered as if they were pouring tears right away. Daisy chews her lips and shouts.

“I'm the one who wanted to go to the Blue Volcano! I was the one who tried to get there first, and I was the one who threw and led the party! Then why did you do it instead of me? ”

“Without me. ”

Ajin said in a quiet voice.

“Without me, would you have made it this far? ”

She still doesn't know how lacking she is. Trying, pushing it to Azin. Ajin does not hide the laughter that comes out of his groaning. I focused on the game with minimal sleep and struggled to get used to the skills I gained. He lowered it to a height that could not cross the obstacle, and he brought a party that was not very supportive.

‘You don't know grace. ’

I didn't think you needed to understand. This is the end of our relationship with that party anyway. We may meet again later, but the current relationship will not change at that time. Azin was stronger than them, and they were weaker than him.

“I have nothing more to say. ”

Azin turns around. The moment he turns around, he feels a threat running from behind. The kill is sharp, but the attack is dull, and it's easy to react. A slight twist in the head brings the spear to the cheek. Azin turns around and looks at Daisy, who stabs her spear. His face, distorted by jealousy and anger, was ugly. Azin looks at that face and grabs his fist lightly.

“Have fun. ”

Speaking in ridicule, Azin moves his fist. Puff! A lightly stretched fist grabs Daisy's jaw and flicks her back, blurring her eyes. He clenches his fist and scowls at the sewers and Lina. The sewer suddenly reaches out to daisy and looks stunned. Lina cries, still sniffing.

“Good day to you, too. Play hard, have fun. ”

That was the end. Azin sends his regards and turns away. He shrugs as he looks at the black snowflake and Jeremiah's expressionless face, looking at him with a joyful face.

“Now, that's settled. So... what do we do now? ”

“Go up the cliff. ”

Jeremiah said in a blunt voice. That's obvious, and the problem is the way. The diaphragm looks at the cliff, but there's no way to get up there. Okay, let's go up the cliff with our bare hands. I didn't think it would be impossible to try.

“How?”

First of all, Jeremiah looks at the scent of Raw Snow with an innocent eye. A slight glance, but the smell of Raw Snow shook my head. Jeremiah nods and reaches out to Azin.

Something's coming. Before you can respond to it, the smell of black snow grabs his shoulder. Do they want us to stand still? Azin loosens his strength without resisting the surrounding energy. Then, I remembered his body.

“He deserves my recognition and deserves to go up that mountain, so I'll pay him this much attention. ”

Jeremiah reaches out and mutters. Azin sees the ground drifting away as he slowly picks up his floating body. Raw Snow's scent stands on the ground, smiling as she looks at Che Azin with his arms crossed. Soon, her body lowers.

“I'll go first. ”

That voice made me sick. Szem! The light black snowflake quickly surpasses the pain and plummets to the top of the cliff. It's a ridiculous leap forward. It would be easy to take a high leap if you could fully use the air, but it was also impossible to jump that clean and light.

“It's been a long time. ”

The slowly rising body stops and falls down the cliff. I stood roughly still, but my body twitched. Azin glanced at the black snow scent while fluffing his knees. She gives you a cheerful look with a cheerful breeze.

“Have you been here before? ”

Azin looks around and says, The scenery was completely changed. The barren rocky cliffs are no longer visible, and shallow grass and forests lay open before your eyes. A little further, you look up, and you see the mountain rise high beyond the forest. A blue volcano.

“That was 20 years ago. I looked everywhere I could, and I came here. ”

The scent of Raw Snow bounced back and said. She taps her waist lightly and snaps her neck.

“Nothing has changed. ”

The scent of Raw Snow creeps toward Azin in a muttering, thumping motion. She smiles at Azin, her hands reaching out and placing them on her head.

“You're pretty good, by the way. Jeremiah was too strong for you to handle, but he fought well. Well, I don't think Jeremiah's been very kind, but...”

“Is he that strong? ”

“You can't beat him at your current level. Probably about the same as Persian. I can't say for sure who's better. Persian is better at magic than Jeremiah, and Jeremiah is better at body than Persian. It's similar.”

Maybe Persian was that strong. Strong, I was thinking, but I had never actually fought, so her strength was always vague to what Azin thought. It is much stronger than itself and much weaker than Raw Snow. I was surprised when the sword ran off. What is she doing now? Are they already headed for the Forest of Oblivion, or are they maintaining their position in their forests? Azin looks down at his shadow in the sunlight and thinks:

“... and then I thought, ”

Azin suddenly remembered something and looked at the smell of raw snow.

“... who is Vasrodel? ”

When Jeremiah appears, the smell of Raw Snow mutters to him. He's a student of Basrodel. From what Jeremiah had said since then, Basrodel seemed to refer to something that ruled that mountain. Asin asked, shrugging his shoulders as if the smell of raw snow wasn't massive.

“Dragon.”

“.. Yes? ”

In response to the black snow scent, he stares at her dazed. Raw snow curls its head for a moment, crossing its arms and frowning.

“Y-yeah, yeah. Dragon. The only dragon on this island. ”

I said that Raw Snow didn't seem like much, but Azin couldn't accept it like her. The name dragon has that much weight. Even though the dragons of this world, like vampires and drakes, are completely different from what Azin knows. A 'monster’ that dominates a mountain is a threat. The dragon, named Drake Jeremiah Azin, who was a disciple of Basrodel, could not help it.

“What are you so worried about? ”

The scent of Raw Snow smiled and said.

“I don't know what you're thinking, but you don't have to be so scared. Basrodel isn't the fiercest thing she remembers... And he won't do anything to hurt you unless Jeremiah accepts it and sends you away. ”

The scent of Raw Snow reached out and grabbed his hand. She grabs Azin's hesitant wrist and chokes.

“And if Basrodel wants anything to do with you, the Maine will do just that. I told you, a woman who touches my things is not very generous. Not on your level. No adult beats a nosebleed. ”
