Twenty-seven stories: The Doom raid (7)

Later, I was face-to-face with Meir in a room in the Lark Mansion.

"... Meir, I need you to calm down and ask me something. I'm trying to get out of Phage territory without authorization to Peter."

"Duh, why not? Abel, I'm also very excited about the moon festival Dinmay, and even though there are puppet dragons here that Abel worked so hard to make..."

Says Meir in a crying voice.

... Sure, it would be a huge nuisance to Peter, Altamia, Lark and Kudr for me to go through phage territory on my own right now.

It's not strange if they resent you for the rest of your life.

"I don't trust Peter. I'm glad I could afford it so far... but from now on, I might not be able to say something that sweet. There's a chance that Peter and I might have a breakdown in our interests."

That man is capable of action, he is highly powerful, and he has the strength of the will to make decisions without hesitation.

Assuming Peter was a little more incompetent, I might have relieved myself of relying on him a little more.

But that man is dangerous. I'm not as inseparable or as decisive as that guy.

It may be easy to twist down with force, but I can't make that choice.

I don't hate Peter.

However, Peter can move relentlessly according to his purpose, whether he likes it or not.

"... of Meir, it's because of you, right? Uncle Defne and the others attacked us... and Abel is leaving Phage territory because of that, right? I knew you couldn't have done it if you were alive, Meir..."

Meir leans down and zeroes her tears.

Originally, Meir said that the timing was worse than necessary. However, at the time he realized that the Doom had come after him, he might have understood that he was placed in a thin and complicated position.

"I'm sorry, Abel, because of Meir... this... But, Meir, I don't want to bother Abel any more, or your Uncle Defne or your father."

Meir whimpered, saying so.

For a little while the silence continued.

"... Sure, Mere is the reason. As Kudr told me, Meir has the power of the Doom ancestors, and maybe Count Jurem is after it to make it a weapon for Kudr. If Meir was here, maybe Meir's father would come in here. Mr. Defne told me that if he was serious, he wouldn't even know what would happen to Phage territory."

…………

"And as it stands... apparently, I'm on the palm of Count Jurem's hand. I don't think it's a very good idea to keep it that way. It's also pretty harsh to know where Meir is. I think shaking off Count Jurem and Kudr's eyes is the best solution I can hit."

Until now, I've lacked consciousness as the escaping side.

Given that Meir was being pursued, he should have hidden himself more thoroughly.

"... both Mr. Peter and Mr. Kudr will surely be very angry. Besides, if Abel doesn't get on Mr. Kudr's side, I'm sure Mr. Jurem will be busted for that."

Maybe so.

Maybe that was one of Count Jurem's aims, it's even going to be an evil push.

That's all Peter was afraid of.

As Peter had done, Count Jurem had cast a shadow on the turn of my life.

He's a man with no taste.

"For Mere's sake, I'm not going to let you go that far Abel..."

"That's not true, I'll do it for me"

I shake my head.

I slowly stretched out my arms to the bewildered Mere.

"Meir, I like you. So, do me a favor. Run away with me. I want you to stay with me forever."

Open your eyes wide like Meir was distracted.

Then a tear spread on her cheek.

"So, but that's... I'm sure Count Jurem is trying to rule the world, isn't that going to help?

"Oh, maybe so"

"Isn't it also going to turn Mr. Peter, the Church of Kudr and the Kingdom of Dinlat against the enemy?

"I guess that will happen. I didn't mean it either."

"You're also going to deal with God, aren't you?

"Thirty percent shredded. If you come back, I'll blow you away next time without leaving any dust."

I laughed and answered.

I'm just one person.

Let me say as much as I can to protect one child I like.

Meir outstretches her arms to me weakly.

I held that hand back forcefully.

"Thank you, Abel..."

Said Meir with a face painted in tears.

"... when we split up, you're starting to have a little fun"

Fine, I'll do it.

The Doom tribe, the royal family, the church, the great gods and the counts, will all gather together to deal with them.

It wasn't possible for my little arm to tell a big story on the scale of protecting the world.

Embracing every girl you like is the limit.

And yet I don't know how to move because I try to take on an unworthy major role.

I lose sight of what really matters.

If Meir is going to die, I don't have to be the brave one to save the world.

Assuming it comes, I'll spend my last day with Meir.

If that's the case, we have to figure out where to run.

Now I might as well be outside the kingdom of Dinrat.

A means of movement will also be required.

I can do anything I want to, but I can't stand out very much.

We also need magic gear to hide Meir's magic powers, but this can only be put behind us for one second.

Let's make it somehow while we're on the move.
