Linus wanders the West Side looking for spiral children (spiral childrens).
But in its head, there was always Maria's presence.
He hoped that he would find her so strongly that he did not know which was "next”.
And walking down a street near the Glades, even in the West Side, with a particularly small crowd - he noticed from the house right next to him that he smelled blood.
It seems empty and hasn't been used for a long time.
But the smell that drifts is new.
Reach for the front door.
It wasn't locked.
Force the poorly erected doors to open and take a step into the dusty indoors.
Guissi, and the floorboard sounded creepy.
It's dark even though it's daytime inside, and if you don't stare, you're going to hit the furniture.
So Linus stopped and cleared his ears.
Casa...... slightly, I can hear the sound of cloth slippage.
There are signs of people, and it still looks like someone's lurking here.
Cyril, Maria, is he another drifter?
It's an insecure neighborhood, and it's possible enough to be a human being living in an empty house.
Without undue anticipation, pull the dagger out of your hips and prepare to be attacked whenever you want.
It's not that big inside.
I proceeded down the hallway and stopped my foot in front of the poking room.
Put your hand on the door, put it down for a minute, re-grip the knife, and slowly push it open.
It's darker than a hallway in the room.
But it was also clearly visible to Linus' eyes that someone was sitting in that corner.
That blonde woman who wraps a borough cloth instead of a robe and holds her knees (...) - looks a lot like his seeker.
"Maria, is it?
……
No response.
But as I responded to my voice, there was a buzzing sound, and the red liquid dripping from my face spread on the floor.
"Oh, hey, you're hurt."
Linus trying to rush over worried.
"Please don't come!
But she categorically rejected it.
Because of her voice, Linus realized she was Maria.
No matter how much they reject me, I can't stop more than realizing I'm a thinker.
As Linus approached her, she crouched down and touched that arm holding her knee.
"Please don't come..."
"If I seem to give up about that, I haven't fallen in love with Maria since the beginning."
A gentle voice stains Maria's chest.
Linus always was.
I don't squeeze open the door I was closing, I try to make it open from the inside with sweet words.
"... cowardly,"
"What?
"Mr. Linus says he's always... cowardly because he pokes at all my weaknesses. Anyway, that's how other women dictate, isn't it?
"Since we met, Maria, it's been a long time."
No lies, that's why Linus puts his chest up and says it out.
Still, Maria knows.
I'm sure if I saw who I am now, he'd be disillusioned, that's all.
"Can you show me your face for now, this amount of bleeding is quite an injury, isn't it?
Linus won't want to show it because she has a scratch on her face - that's what I'm thinking.
On the other hand, however, he also had the question as to why he did not use healing magic on himself.
"No, it's not an injury."
"This amount of blood is why..."
"No... really, this is something like that (...), Mr. Linus"
That's what I said, Maria raised her face.
And what appeared in front of Linus was the surface of the meat that wrapped around the vortex.
The whole thing is pulsating, colored and glowing with blood, dripping Shizuku from his jaw.
"What do you think, ugly?
Whenever the words were uttered, the vortex shivered fine, causing more blood to be secreted.
"Even for me like this, would you say you like it?
My voice is trembling.
Even she gave herself to Origin and gave up everything - before Linus, she comes out with a year-to-year self.
That's what love is, not something you can do to try to contain it.
That's why I despair.
Maria was going to leave the scene by saying goodbye once she confirmed Linus' feelings had left.
And now it's time to completely abandon yourself as a person and try to serve as Origin's apostle.
But he doesn't do what she expects.
Without saying anything - I reached for that face and touched where my cheeks were.
Plump and sticky blood stain Linus' hands.
"... Huh?
Stunning Maria.
Linus said sorry.
"Uh... I'm sorry I touched you on my own. Does this hurt, after all?
I don't know what he's talking about.
Why not be afraid, why not curse.
Why are you looking at me like this in front of me?
"No, look, you're bleeding, and you're peeling it out, right?
- At the same condition as usual, we can talk.
"Oh, you know, how..."
"What's“ why ”?
"Please don't, if you touch it... Mr. Linus' hands will get dirty"
"Ha, what the hell. I don't know about dirt, but you think it's more important than touching Maria?
He laughs.
Disrupt Maria's determination to betray expectations, transcend and throw everything away.
"Too bad I don't hate Maria to this extent."
"... please, I am"
"Maybe, he liked it enough to do something about it. But Maria's the one who did it, and I'm afraid I'm the only one responsible for it."
Of course, Linus. Because the original face is better determined.
Because I fell in love with both of them, not just the appearance, not just the contents.
But that's also why I don't leave my feelings just because one of them has been lost.
"But... what do you say we do? You can't undo it on your own volition anymore. Where you like me like this..."
"You mean you care about people's eyes. Well, when things settle down, we'll find and live in a country where no one else is."
"Nah... I did that... Mr. Linus is going to throw away his position and his honor!?
"So what is it? If it's gold, I can eat it for the rest of my life with my previous accumulations. And then how about we plow in the fields, hunt once in a while, and live in peace? I guess I'm too bored for Maria."
It wasn't a lie or an ideal, and Linus was seriously prepared to do it.
Whatever the plan is, I'm already starting to get it in my head.
First, protect Maria in the safe house of the king's capital.
And when the battle with Childrens is over, the two of us will leave the king's capital and hide ourselves on a battle-free border.
The inconvenient life in the country will be tough until you get used to it, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the hard work with her - believe me, I don't doubt it.
"No...... no, never, that sort of thing. But... oh, this is such a dream..."
"Dreams, huh? I'm glad Maria told you so much, I'm exhausted of manhood. Then you mean both thoughts, and that's settled. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be a happy day."
Maria was also Maria and was beginning to think about floating around wondering if she could have children with this body, etc.
No, you can't.
I can't do this.
Hope - poisoned.
"But wow - there's only one problem"
"What is it?
Linus scratched his head and said with a bitter laugh.
"Where am I supposed to kiss in this case?
"... well, that's... I don't know either."
If she had looked normal, Maria's face must have turned bright red like ripe fruit.
But Linus felt a smile when he couldn't see it but just the words conveyed it.
Even if you don't have a face, you know your emotions.
In the end, when he took Maria's hand at the troubled statement - on the back of it, he kissed her with an oath.
"Shall we then, princess?"
To the floating dialogue of her teeth, Maria's chest rattles and her "likes” emotions swell to the point where she learns to creep and dazzle.
Then I took his hand and gave myself up to the dream of foam.
◇ ◇ ◇
Flum, who left Leach's house, made his way around the East End before heading to the Central End.
Hardly anyone is walking away because there have been such incidents in the East Side since morning.
I've also encountered Nect and Mute once, and I thought it was unlikely that they would be here.
"Overall, I feel strangely noisy..."
Flam still doesn't know about the incident where the carriage broke out on the main street.
I just somehow realized that all the people passing by looked somewhere in a hurry.
And keep going and get to the front of the church.
"I was wondering if Saila was safe."
Flam stopped, saw where Saila was born and raised, and remembered her in the pretense.
Say that you are acting with Negas, but fulfill. Are you sure that demon tribe is a trustworthy opponent?
He seemed to like Saila the first time he saw her, and it seems safer than leaving her in the king's capital.
"Unlike elsewhere, this one is somewhat quiet..."
Looking at the church as he pondered, Fram notices the anomaly.
Though not as large as the Cathedral, the Church in the Central District is quite large.
Even so, there are few signs of people coming from the premises.
"Are you paying me out, or is something going on inside?
If you're paying for it, there's been a large number of injuries in the Wang capital.
Either way, there's no mistake that something is going on.
As I explored the signs around me, trying to make my way to the chapel - I heard footsteps of someone rushing over from behind me.
"Ha, ha, ha... Phew. I finally met someone who knew my face. Sure, was it Mr. Flamm?
A blonde-haired man talks to me familiarly.
"That was Mr. Slough, wasn't it?
"or something like that, because I'm just putting it on because Fram is a good guild guy"
"Well, in Slough. By the way, what's wrong with you all of a sudden running around?
"That's it. Now, listen to me."
He looked grumpy and told Fram the upside of what had happened on the boulevard.
That all of a sudden the carriage went wild and there were numerous casualties.
That it was Gadio who saved the situation.
And being screwed up by the confusion caused by people fleeing -
Apparently, he escaped from there and finally got to the church.
"Carriage runoff...... maybe Luke did it"
Luke, the last spiral children left (spiral childrens), was a busy looking boy with just the same golden hair as Slough.
What the hell abilities did you use to ramble the carriage?
It would be easier to deal with it if only I knew that, but Slough doesn't seem to have looked at it that closely.
"Do you know who did this? Sarasu is a hero."
"Don't put it that way, 'cause I just think I know it. So, you're saying there's nobody in this church because maybe we're all headed to treat the wounded?
"Probably not, because I saw the nuns running around. Hang on, I can't take hold of the grab that Ella asked me to take... ha"
Slough spread a sneezy note that he held in his hand and sighed as he looked at the contents.
Fram knows exactly how that feels, too.
She's a troublesome type to piss off, and even after her anger has subsided, she attacks with Netineti for a long time.
"Aren't you going to forgive me just because it's an emergency right now?
"But it definitely makes me grumpy"
"Wow, looks like it...... so I'll follow you to the guild?
"Seriously? That really helps."
The disturbances seem to have been put away by Gadio, and it is difficult to gather information in the confused Central District.
Flam was about to move the location of the investigation to the West End as he sent Slough.
Just as the story came together, the two leave the front of the church and start walking side by side.
Shortly thereafter...
"Dangerous!
"Wow!?
Flam felt the impending killing from behind, thrusting Slough aggressively.
Huh!
Something you can't see passes where he was while spinning fast.
"Slough, stay away from me because I might get involved!
"Huh? What's going on?
"Come on, come on!
Slough, who doesn't understand the situation, is decent while sitting on the ground.
In the meantime Luke put up his fist, sticking it forward, while - releasing the next bullet (...).
"Atmosphere, turn around."
The flam interrupts the ray and takes it with a pitch-black blade pulled out from different spaces.
"Gu......!
Gaggy, gaggy, gaggy!
The air rotates so as to sharpen the torso, pushing the arm of the flam back.
The first alien orga I fought and it was a very similar force.
No - isn't it more the same?
Luke's ability, given by Origin, is probably “spinning".
He must be the one who drove people to the carriage on the main street, as well as the twisted corpse killer found this morning.
As far as carriages are concerned, it is believed that they were rampaged by rotating the wheels of the luggage at high speeds.
Once it withstood, the bullet disappeared naturally.
In that gap, Slough runs towards the nearest building - the church.
"Hey, what the fuck, that disgusting looking one!
While escaping, check Luke's status on the scan.
--------------------
Luke Hulup
Attribute: Soil
Muscle Strength: 3298
Magic: 3792
Health: 3512
Agility: 3148
Sense: 4215
--------------------
One of the reasons why they insist that they are "different from the first generation” was this status.
The first subject, the ink, was physically just like a human without a good fit with the origin-core.
But the second generation also benefits from the core in terms of physical ability.
As a result, we were able to acquire the flesh of an S-rank adventurer.
Most importantly, they have little combat training, so they don't wear martial arts or magic.
But based on that, it was an extra level of ability.
Slough's face blues when he sees that number.
Not an adventurer, but he was also somewhat confident in the treatment of magic.
So I was hoping I could cover you at all.
"Oh, S-rank and... you can't, run away"
My heart broke the moment I saw the status.
Slough looks only at the front and strives for the church with all his might.
Shit, get out of my way.
Luke stares at the flam and offends.
I don't think I'm eight years old. It's rough.
"Why did you aim for Slough!?
"I don't care, you die anyway - go around (rotazione)"
It doesn't make sense, but it doesn't deny it.
I guess it was Slough who was being targeted.
Flam lays down his sword and prepares for the bullet to be unleashed.
But it wasn't at his fingertips that Luke spun, it was at his feet (...).
Gallic - the circulating air scrapes the ground, allowing fast travel under wheel guidelines.
"Early!?
Luke approaching the flam faster than expected.
At the same time as he approaches, he wraps around his arms with the air that spins like a rock grinder, protruding it with his right fist.
Gaggin '!
Flam also fights back with soul-eating, his hands numb as if when he tapped a strong ore.
And where it was played by rotation, the left hook assaulted her flank.
"Ah, but ah... Huh!
Gucha, and the flat flank of a sharpening blow.
A spiral in his left arm winds up the blood and stains it red.
Keep going further and straight to the face to the right, it bumps into each other with the sword flung by Flam.
And then again, left fist - but it's a one-pattern, that's exactly what this is being read.
Flam twists his body and lets go of the Great Sword.
Luke's assault remained to shake his chest and break his clothes.
"Damn, I took it off -!?"
"The attack is monotonous!
Not to mention revenge, Flam's right fist pierces Luke's cheek.
The boy glances back.
Upon exiting the state of intimacy, there is an intermission of the Great Sword.
Flam used the momentum of the punch to make a spin, swinging the black metal mass down Luke's head.
He can't avoid it just because of his physical abilities.
"Rotate."
While in a hurry, he exercised his abilities, rotating the air on the soles of his feet at high speeds and gaining nothing.
But Flam's offense still continues.
"I won't let you get away with it!
Quickly cut the sword to the cross and eject the blade of the plana.
It approached Luke's back trying to get away from the flam - just before, he made a big jump.
It is an unusual altitude, even if it adds the height of the status.
It was obvious that the spinning air pushed him up to the sky.
Flam flies right up. Looks up at him and sets up his sword.
Luke, on the other hand, who gained interest at height, ate his teeth out of frustration and stung her with his dog teeth out.
Then he grips his fist, and toward the surface, strikes out the force of a spiral wrapped around his arms in a row.
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
It poured like rain, destroying the maintained ground and winding up the stone debris.
"It's because of God's power to do things right from the top!
The flam runs around and avoids it, but I can't find a counterhand on the bullet of air that releases constantly.
So there came to her head an idea.
If they're “spinning” - they don't even have to run around in the first place.
That's the power that Origin brings.
Clockwise rotation exerts its destructive power for the first time because of its orientation.
Then invert him and he should have started to rotate backwards, emitting negative energy, not positive, and disappeared and disappeared.
Flam, who dared to stop, waved his sword as the invisible force flew towards him -
"Flip it. (Riversal) Huh!
exercised the magic of inversion.
Then Luke's power, which was so powerful, spreads easily.
"... what?
He pokes his fist out again with impunity, albeit flashy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
impending while cutting the sky, a blow with even more force than earlier,
"Reversal."
Now he was wiped out by Flam's bare hands.
In short - Luke's ability to rotate things and Flam's ability to invert them are the worst compatible.
Flam can defeat the attack Luke unleashed with the power of five.
I mean, no matter how high his status, as long as he fights a battle that relies on his ability to “spin," he's underpowered to defeat Flam.
Still, Flam shouldn't have the means to reach this altitude other than flying the plana - Luke was coming that high.
But even that last hope, she smashes easily.
Invert gravity, kick and leap on the ground.
Sleep the blade, with the sword in a position lower than your hips, and instantly flesh to Luke, who floats in the air.
"Stupid, he said he flew!?
Even if you rush to shoot out a spiral, it's already too late.
"Ha-ha-ha!
A soul-eater who can shake it up with the intention of mowing his neck.
Luke sticks his right hand forward in an attempt to bounce it with air rotation.
Zach!
But the blade, which housed the magic of inversion, cut off its arm, ignoring the forces of entanglement and so on.
"but ahhh!
The tip is lost from the elbow and the burning sensation slips into Luke's brain.
The wound twisted quickly and the bleeding subsided, but the eyesight caused by severe pain still does not subside.
While the gravity-deflected flam falls, it twists its body and releases a chi sword slash (plana shaker).
Luke's response is delayed because of his distraction from the wound.
The surface of his shoulder and his ears blew away when he tried to lean and dodge just before, but he couldn't escape critical.
"Ugh......!
Luke flutters left and right in the air, dropping its altitude.
Injuries appear to have disrupted control of abilities.
Flam, who lands safely, runs out for the falling boy.
If you look at it, Luke dares to disarm himself and speed up the fall, abandon the battle and try to escape.
But - it's obviously faster for Flam's sword to assault him.
If you don't step in and take the boy's life, there's strength in both hands of the fram holding the pattern.
Luke prepares for a fatal injury, sticks his hand in his pocket and decides to use it (...) brought to his mother.
But...
"Ugh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
At that moment when the battle was settled, a slough-like male scream echoed from inside the church.
I don't mind the focused flam waving my sword.
But you were unconsciously influencing, shallow stepping in.
The sword carved a deep wound in the upper left corner, but his neck could not be dropped.
Flam shows a trick that makes him chase even more.
"Don't worry, that boy will be eaten by the third generation (...)?
Luke laughed and said so, Ni.
Third generation - that's the word for the next generation of Luke and the spiral children.
It is also possible to be clear, but it is also true that there is an imminent crisis in Slough.
While the flam was cruising, Luke instantly strayed away with a high-speed movement due to rotation.
There's nothing I can't go after, but I'm going to abandon Slough.
"Oh already, I wanted to get away in front of you again!
When Fram stepped on the estate in remorse, he headed inside the church.
◇ ◇ ◇
- Time goes back a little.
Slough, who managed to escape safely into the chapel, sat in the longchair at the far back and kept his body on his back.
Though a sacred place, a church with no one is creepy inside.
Earlier, my face turned into a visceral disgust - I made Luke look like it, maybe.
Slough looked at the ceiling, the altar, and the Origin statue in a blurry manner, but felt its eyes pointing this way, closing his eyes exhaling.
From the outside, I hear the roaring noise of Flam and Luke.
"Mr. Flam, are you okay..."
Being protected by a younger girl is pathetic as a man.
I thought the time had finally come for self-taught, trained wind attribute magic to come into play, but reality is not so sweet.
"But he... he was after me. Hey, why me? Even the clerk of the guild, born of ordinary people's pussies, raised, without any kind of deviation."
There are no verses that come to mind.
Only that in his life, he doesn't know his father's face at best, such as something special.
So much for the rest - yes, even, I've lived normally without any philosophy.
And from now on, if you earn a lot of money and live normally, that's enough.
Heavy combat sounds continue uninterrupted.
When I closed my eyes, I could hear quite clearly if the senses were assigned other minutes of vision.
Then I realize that not from the outside, but from the inside - from the back of the church, another sound is mixed.
"... hehe... ah... kawah..."
Slough woke up and stared at the door leading from the chapel to the back.
"Is anybody here?
If there are nuns left, why don't you come outside and see what's going on?
If all that fighting was going on, you'd notice something strange.
Slough, approaching the door, reached for the knob nervously.
From here on out, it's an area where ordinary people can't go in.
It is at the end of the door where the store says it is for employees only.
But now, in an emergency, I'm sure no one will happen if you go in without permission.
"Grandpa Shima Su"
Still, Slough says that in a whisper, he moves on, fearful, killing his footsteps.
"Good boy... I... ooh. Nhehe... hehe..."
"Laughter, huh?
Normally a woman is just laughing, but the situation is just the situation, it's creepy in circles.
Slough, trembling all the way through his body, approached the loud room even more and slammed his ear against the door.
"My child... just me... cute wow, how can you be so cute..."
Apparently in the room is a mother who loves her baby.
Well, if you mean you have children that aren't even in your lifetime, it's not surprising that you're still in church.
Slough, relieved to find out who his voice was, leaves the scene and returns to the chapel.
"Oh... how about... of? With your mom... are you...?
Zung, Zung.
As Slough walked down the hallway, the floorboard shivered like something huge was moving.
"... Meh, not yet... oh, yeah... oh, no..."
Dosun, Dosun, Dosun.
The sound gets a little closer to this one.
And I thought once it stopped - doggo! and blew the door open until earlier, from the inside out.
It's made of wood. It's beaten to the wall across the street with tremendous force, shattered and scattered.
When Slough looked back and shook his body at the fierce sound, there was...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I only got my face out of the room, there was a baby face.
However, its size is such that it exceeds one meter by the width of its face alone.
A wild voice emanates from the half-open mouth, and a large amount of clear mucus spills.
"Ugh... ahh... eh"
A tiny eye gazes at Slough, a common citizen, who has no power and knows nothing.
"Ugh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
There was no way he could stand the fear - Slough sounded so screaming as to crush his throat as he slipped into his hips.
