"Lyles?"

It's a name I've never heard of.

Cristina sends a cold glance at the girl who calls herself by another name.

Then the girl who stretched her blue hair to the ground wept and said as if she was begging.

"I've been waiting for you every day. I was waiting quietly. But you didn't come.

“Something's wrong. My name is not Lyles. ”

Huh?

Cristina's assertive denial led the girl to lean her head with a dubious face.

Hair resembling the sea, its face. It must be Lyles, right?

The decisive reason why the girl was convinced that Cristina was Lylos was her hair.

Two tones of sea hair were the most decisive features and even resembled the appearance of a face.

"No way……. Did you forget me?

“You don't understand a word. I've never seen it, so I can't forget it. I'll ask you again. Did you hurt people at sea? Identify yourself properly. ”

…….

The girl looks at Cristina's face to be pierced.

Cristina, who became frustrated because she couldn't talk, asked again.

“What's your name?”

Then the girl slightly raised her crowbar and put her palm on her cheek.

I don't have a name. You promised Lilious you'd build it.

The black bitten eyes bend with affection.

Promise, remember?

But Cristina already had the bow in her hand.

A magical arrow is created with a roaring sound and aims at the girl's heart.

“My name is Cristina R. Delphia. I'll ask you one last time. Are you the one who hurt people? ”

"Isn't Lyles……?

Stupid, the girl looking at Cristina sneaks back.

Then I climbed up close to the ship's railing like a trick.

Black Azirang began to bloom around the girl with distorted faces due to confusion, sadness, and anger.

"Lie! I told you to come back!

Urrrrrrrrrr!

There was a thunderstorm in the clear sky.

Cristina, feeling an unusual airflow, looked back and saw a huge wave rumbling beyond the waves that were fluctuating.

Her face was shadowed by waves rising to an enormous height, like thatched snow.

It was sunday.

‘Was it this way? ’

Cristina's head calmly sinks when she steers the still sea and sees the power that causes a huge tide in her shovel.

If the sun hits the boat like this, of course, the fallen fall into the water.

When that happens, soldiers who fall asleep are forced to drown as they are.

Cristina has known the reason for the ships' return to the Ghost Ship after leaving for the sea so far.

But instead of panicking and bluffing, I turned around and looked at the angry looking girl.

"Liars. Kill all humans!

Blackbitten eyes burst into anger.

It was the moment when the giant waves were about to strike the ships as the girl wished.

……?!

The waves were all airborne and scattered like pastry crumbs.

Even a dim rainbow peered through the sparkling water like a piece of glass.

“The idea of betraying faith is colder than this winter breeze. ”

The reason Cristina was able to calm down was here.

Judas, who was still watching, raises his hand toward the girl with her eyes wide open.

Hueung

There was a green wind, restraining the girl's limbs.

A girl who was unable to budge felt a strong energy wrapping around him late and stretched her shoulders.

You…….

“I felt that way once, too. I feel cold and trembling, but my heart is burning hot. ”

The girl glances at Judas with her sinister eyes.

I know what you are! You gave them a name, you gave them trust. How do you know how it feels to have all that you can love and love!

Rumors of humans contracting with a four-attribute spirit king in the natural world were also famous among the spirits.

The girl who was originally a spirit was also familiar with the name 'igrette’.

The girl slowly searches for Uni, Tony, Rooney and Carney, who are guarding his side.

Seeing them with a peaceful expression, the girl felt even more miserable.

"I don't have it. I promised you, but no matter how long you wait, you won't come.

‘I'll give you the coolest name. Just a little longer!’

In the memory of the girl, the hair of the sea light scattered.

Originally, I had to recognize the color of the soul, but with the corrupted black eyes, the spiritual vision was distorted and it was difficult to distinguish.

So the girl saw Cristina with the same hair and was mistaken for Lyle.

Corrupt spirits still do not abandon foolishness and give Cristina an eye.

"I hate you for abandoning me.

“That's ridiculous. Why are you so obsessed with that Lyles guy? If you didn't get a name, you wouldn't even have a contract. ”

Cristina stabbed the sentiment with a cool face.

The girl lowers her eyes to the ground, encroached by anger.

You don't have to sign a contract…… to love me.

“What?”

Even if you didn't sign the contract, I just liked you. Lyles, you're the one who listens to my song and comes to see me.

The girl tied her limbs to the restraint of the wind said without strength with her head down.

As long as the king's power restrained her, there was no way out or against her.

"I don't know. It's been precious since one day, so I've been waiting every day. I am the Spirit of the Wave and I was staying in this ocean for a while, so I couldn't get out of here. That's why I decided to sign a contract with Lyles. When you contract with a human, you can always stay out of the sea with him. You promised to get me a name. So I waited again.

The Spirit who loved man loved him even while he waited.

Thousands, tens of thousands of sunrises and sunsets……. How much longer do we have to wait for you to come? I sang because I hated you so much that you wouldn't come.

Tired of waiting too long, the spirit gradually decays, accumulating sorrow and anger.

Then I finally became a commander and began to ignore the ships that passed around me.

The songs of the waves singing Lyles were only effective for men, and sailors who usually sailed were mostly men.

Ships passing through nearby waters were dragged into this canyon, and all who were aboard had to die miserably.

The commander, who killed all the men, returned the empty ship to the port.

So that ship can bring Lyles next time.

“It must have been a long time ago. ”

…….

“One kid. How can you be sure that Lyles betrayed you? ”

Because he broke his promise!

Judas gently shakes his head.

“If you break your promise, but try your best to keep it, do you still consider it treacherous? ”

……?

“There are many things a man cannot do as he pleases, because he is different from the Spirit. I've lost my life in an unexpected accident. ”

“Ah.”

Cristina, who came up with something in Judas' words, shed a small sneeze.

Cristina talks to the girl who became a commander.

“Lyles Delphia. It's one of the names that was written in the Delphia genealogy. He is my ancestor. ”

"Ancestors?"

“I heard that you were cut off at a young age of 14. I haven't thought about it for over a hundred years as a reward. ”

Lucky princess, Lyles.

He was a talented man who was urged by the family, but stopped at a young age of 14 without showing off his brilliant intellect and great character due to the ridiculous accident of stepping on a steep rock.

With great magical power and a stronger body than others, I was the first descendant of the Delphia family to die in vain so early, so it was still often circulated.

Days……? Lyles is dead?

“Man is hard to live for more than a hundred years, but he died on the fourteenth day. ”

No way…….

When the Spirit of the Wave last met him, he was 14 years old.

The tears started picking up drops in the black eyes of a girl who didn't even know she would scream that way when she left to give her the coolest name.

"I didn't come.

I just couldn't come.

I wanted to give my name quickly, so I left a safe path and quickly climbed a rough rock path.

A boy who stepped on a slippery rock and rolled over his feet ended up suffering from a few days of rhinorrhea and lost his life.

It was news that would not reach the spirits who were waiting for him beyond the sea.

"No, that's not possible. He was already dead that day? What about Lyles?

Better when I felt betrayed.

The spirit of the corrupt waves trembled on the shoulders, overwhelmed by the unsurpassed excitement and terror.

You can pay even when you are angry.

When the target did not exist in the world, the anger and loss of the place to go came like a storm.

"Lies. Lies! Why do you keep lying to me? Lyles…….

The girl shed black tears like a child.

What is this? It's all meaningless. The time I've been waiting for you, the song I've been singing. It's no use.

Realizing that he had been waiting for someone who did not exist in the world to grumble, the spirit struggled with futility.

The black energy has darkened.

“Rune.”

Then Cristina spits out a word.

Cristina said again in an indifferent tone as the girl raised her face wet with tears.

“I heard it said before my ancestors closed their eyes. I wanted to convey the word 'moon’ to the one who became his own moon in the dark of dawn. ”

A white bow with feathers carved out in front of the girl's eyes.

Lune

I saw the letters clearly engraved over the white body.

“It's written in this Fairy Bow. ”

Cristina, who had a neat horse gate, gradually faded from the body of the girl who was staring at her bow.

‘Rune’ …….

It wasn't forgotten.

Lyles valued the spirit and named it after him.

Then I rushed to tell you and fell off the rock and lost my life.

After more than a hundred years, the Spirit who was given his name smiled with tears.

"Thank you, Lyles.

Hugs

A transparent foam rose from the girl's body.

Soon the command slowly began to turn into a bubble from the tip of the foot and disappear.

“Hey……! ”

“Cristina."

Judas gently grabs Cristina's hand, which is about to run into a panic.

“The boy himself chose extinction. ”

“Your Majesty.”

“There's no reason to be angry or to hate anymore. But.”

Judas turns his head towards Rune, a lonely bubble that is disappearing.

“Do you understand? Not all tears are meaningless and desperate. ”

…….

“I also know that tears glow when they touch the sun. ”

Rune, who heard him, began to sing with a small mouth.

"You were awake at dawn when the moon fell asleep. Promise me, you will be my sea and I will be your wave.

The girl, who was originally the Spirit of the Wave, became foamed like a broken wave and disappeared.

Only a subtle rhythm lasted around the canyon.

If you see waves wandering around looking for the sea, I'll tell you.

Your sea is always by your side.

Rune's motif is Mermaid.... But I really didn't like the mermaid story when I was a kid.

Sad ending for the mermaid.

For the prince, happy endings with the princess of the neighbouring country.

I'm guessing that the reason I hated Sad End wasn't the mermaid I read in kindergarten.... (...)

I hope you enjoyed your reading today.

See you tomorrow at this time! Heh.
