I wonder if I'm going to die. Me, I might die here.

What popped out of my mouth when I thought so was not begging for my life or screaming, but a child's eclampsiastic cry.

"- Oh, I don't know! This, I would never, ever do anything for Master Ardina! Master Ardina will continue to blame herself for the rest of her life, for this behavior of yours! Even if people all over the world started worshipping and serving Master Ardina, thinking of you who dirty your hands for yourself, how can you not know that when Master Ardina will cry alone every day!?

Damn is exactly what this is about.

Shouting out loud as his emotions went, Mr. Rayburn kept his cold eyes pointed at me, but still stopped moving.

"If you need to, I don't know what it means to do whatever Ardina doesn't want! So, how does Master Ardina feel? Doesn't matter? Are you saying you don't mind if I'm hurt and crying alone?

"I 'm-"

"You must know that Master Ardina is the one who will suffer alone! Then I'm sure if I were you, I'd want to reduce the seeds of that suffering a little bit. Even if it wasn't for Master Ardina, I think you want to do whatever it is and what kind of idiot it is! You want to see Master Ardina smile, you just want her to be happy, don't you? If you're not, what you're looking at is not the Ardina-sama in front of you right now, but the Ideal Witch's Fantasy!

"Shut up, I..."

That's it, Rayburn.

The words spilled from Mr. Rayburn's mouth disappeared along the way.

On his neck muscles, accompanied by a perfect - a blade of a two-wielding sword that emits hard light.

Behind Mr. Rayburn, Noel and Mr. Ars stood side by side with their swords.

The long sword they poked at captures Mr. Rayburn's neck and crosses. If only slightly Mr. Rayburn were too frivolous to come near me, he would be the bait for that blade.

What the hell, when?

I had no idea either because I was in so much panic, that the two of them had come within this' sanctuary ', or that they were taking Mr. Rayburn's back.

Besides, further behind them - there is also the figure of Mr. Sotini.

Oh, good. Mr. Sotini, I was safe. Maybe it was Mr. Sotini who called the Noels.

Mr. Rayburn should have been the same one who was surprised by the unexpected intruder, but when it came to this situation, he didn't change his expression at all. I never open my eyes to surprise, or frown on remorse. Realizing how Mr. Rayburn looked as if he lacked emotion, I stiffened myself up again.

"Put your right hand down."

When Noel commanded briefly, Mr. Rayburn slowly lowered his right hand from my sight, rather than showing resistance.

With Mr. Rayburn's hand disappearing so far, his cold glance shoots me straight through the front.

"... that's something that doesn't work"

Mr. Rayburn shrugged pompously, never taking me out of sight.

"Lord Noel, you knew, didn't you? That this daughter is a former witch, Halutia."

……

Noel and the others still hold their swords.

"To me, I don't understand. What captures your heart, this girl? Why not at Master Ardina? That other one deserves a lot more witch than this girl, and people are great. Isn't there one thing wrong with Ardina?"

……

"Why didn't you accept Master Ardina's feelings and give them away"

Out of the way, the beat jumped.

Now, while Mr. Rayburn still wants to wonder why he started talking like this at this time, he couldn't be indifferent to his naked inquiries.

Although Noel said there was nothing between him and Lady Ardina.

"Even though it was you, not me, who could make Master Ardina smile"

- Right.

Master Ardina, after all, told me about Noel.

"Former Witch Halutia"

In the midst of a quiet shock, Mr. Rayburn spoke to me again.

"Earlier, you said. Master Ardina was heartbroken by my work and said that you would continue to blame yourself for life."

"But it can't be. I'm not that special to her. Sure, she'll have mercy on me, but that's not because it's 'me'. Her charity is something that is poured out on all humans. In it, if there's anything really special about it for her, it's not me. So I can undertake the 'negative' part she needs on her behalf. Indeed, she will be saddened by my actions. But in a lot of charity, eventually it's something to bury. For Aldina, it's not something you'll ever forget."

I was confused about what.

Confused.

But the next moment, my body was moving on its own.

"No -!!"

I noticed that Mr. Rayburn's body was about to fall forward.

In front of me, two blades of protrusion are glowing.

I reached out and thrust Mr. Rayburn to the side of his back. That clap takes the form of pushing Mr. Rayburn down on each of his own bodies.

I heard Mr. Sotini scream.

Noel and Mr. Ars seem to have quickly drawn their swords. Still, me and Mr. Rayburn, who collapsed with a twist, only touched the blade a few times. Mr. Rayburn, on his neck. I'm at the fingertips of both hands.

I skewed my face to the stimulus that tickled my fingertips.

But it took just a few scratches, so I was lucky the other way around.

I shook my shoulders with tears as I pressed Mr. Rayburn as hard as I could.

'Cause, Mr. Rayburn, I'm about to die right now.

"Oh, my God, Mr. Rayburn!

"Come on, back off......!

"Everything you do, it's just self-satisfaction. Normal people around there. Hey, if someone works or dies badly because of me, I'm determined to be the trauma of things for the rest of my life. Even a boring little girl like me is. If you're sweet, Ardina, you're determined to be more and more so! Don't decide what you're worth!

I grabbed Mr. Rayburn's chest barn with momentum and rocked it violently.

My blood has tainted Mr. Rayburn's white costume, but I can no longer stand it.

"Hulka, that's enough. Stay back because it's dangerous."

Noel gently peeled me from Mr. Rayburn, who was still not excited to cool down.

"Leave it to us."

It's like I'm angry at Noel for settling even at a time like this, yeah, but even at a time like this, because Noel is settling, it's like I can somehow keep my messed up emotions down, too.

I calmed down a bit and kept my shoulders drawn to Noel, distancing myself from Mr. Rayburn.

It's been a long time since I've had such a head on someone.

I don't know what I said or did anymore.

Mr. Ars, on the other hand, said, pulling up Mr. Rayburn, who was falling in my underlings, and turning both his arms behind his body, was roping quickly.

"Lord Rayburn, you've done a terrible thing."

And he seems to be a knight I've seen many times already, quietly rebuffing Mr. Rayburn.

"It's not about being forgiven. Thou shalt be judged."

……

"That's why I'm the pinnacle of foolishness, trying to judge myself."

With a slightly trembling, but resolute voice, Mr. Sotini, who was holding back, raised his voice.

Mr. Rayburn, who remains drooped, does not try to look up, hear or not.

"If you say you think of Master Ardina more than anyone else, don't you still have a serious job to do? - Is Master Ardina's will involved or not in your actions this time? You are responsible for testifying in court."

As he was annoyed, Mr. Rayburn raised his face and looked at Mr. Sotini.

"Master Ardina is irrelevant. This is my existence..."

"That's what I've been serving on Master Ardina's side for so long. Though you've decided that I know best! But who else, besides me and you, would believe that? You can do yourself harm, but what do you think Ardina will do later? I'm sure that no matter what the truth is, you will try to bear your sins. So, are you satisfied?

"That can't be...!

"Yeah, that's right, of course. Even I would never forgive you. I can't believe that Master Ardina can wear boring wet clothes because of your insanity. So you have to live. To prove the innocence of Master Ardina!

Having said all that, Mr. Sotini was turning an extraordinary anger against Mr. Rayburn. But her words, which were not beautiful or anything, were the most indulgent for Mr. Rayburn today, as well as the words that would connect and stop his life.

Mr. Sotini let him die.

It's also for Master Ardina.

(Mr. Sotini has always been on Mr. Ardina's side)

Even now, I feel it.

They were close to respecting each other and supporting each other. Again, I was feeling ashamed of my inferior reckoning.

Dear Ardina, you weren't alone.

I walked over to Master Ardina's side, whilst still losing my mind.

In a dangerous foothold, Noel tries to support me. I gently controlled it with my right hand, and I knelt down and gently placed my hand on Master Ardina's shoulder.

"... Dear Ardina"

I try to loosen it gently, but she never shows any signs of waking up.

That's true, too, because she was deprived of consciousness by Mr. Rayburn's technique. I'm not just sleeping.

But I didn't feel like pulling the hand I put on my shoulder.

Because Master Ardina was asleep with a face that was still about to cry.

From the time of the eyelids that remain lying down, will the long eyelashes be transmitted and the tears still fall?

That made me want to cry asexually more why.

"Dear Aldina, it's okay now. Because we're all on your side now. So..."

As I said, I felt a feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time dominate my whole body.

Strange force, like gushing from the back of your body.

This.

- Wake up.

At that moment...

From my right hand, which was touching Master Ardina's shoulder, I felt a great great stream of 'chi' spreading all over me. It's like a flood, instantly enclosing the whole 'sanctuary'.

The flood of Qi seemed to gently envelop Master Ardina as well.

But no.

This "chi" is also released by Master Ardina himself. My 'chi' and Master Ardina's 'chi' mingle together so that I can no longer breathe, this place rapidly fills me with divinity.

And.

In agony, Ardina-like heavy eyelids, which remained tightly closed, slowly lifted.

"Ugh..."

"Dear Ardina!

"Ah..., ha, dear Halutia...?

Waking up her torso, Master Ardina looked around and then stopped gazing at me, as she said she didn't understand this situation. Immediately afterwards, put your right hand on your head with your face up.

"What the hell..., I..."

"It's okay now, it's okay."

"Dear Halutia..., are you all right"

"Yes, I'm safe. Thank you. It's all over now. I'm almost done. So don't worry."

Dear mindless Ardina, yet it's the words that worry me that poke me out of my mouth first. How could this person, so much.

I put my strength into both hands supporting Master Ardina.

"This is..."

Little by little, Ardina seemed to have quickly noticed the unusual flow of 'chi' surrounding us.

He looks around blindly, chasing a flood of twirling 'chi' with his still unfocused eyes.

And I noticed, too.

In this' sanctuary ', before our' chi 'gets there.

- Large 'temperatures', flooded out of holy pots.

Its' temperatures' mingle with our 'chi', becoming one, creating an even greater flow.

And it's slightly, distorted...

"The pulse."

Just that one word of mine seemed to make sense of everything, too, Master Ardina.

We just looked at each other without words.

I couldn't find it all the time, the 'pulse' distortion.

Now we can finally catch him.

Us, both of us.

There was only one thing to do next.

"Dear Aldina, please"

"But I..."

"It's the only thing you can do. I'm not a witch anymore."

"But"

"You can do it. - Please, correct the 'chi' flow."

When I told him so clearly, I guess the voice arrived, the other faces breathtaking a little further away, coming across my back as well.

They shouldn't have seen the 'chi' flow.

All I'm feeling is me and Master Ardina.

And there's no one but us who can make it right.

No, you're not.

Yes. To me -, I can't make it right anymore.

I shouldn't have made it right.

"The Witch" will keep an eye on the future of this world, because it's not me anymore.

Once I saw Lady Ardina straight now, she toured to show her, then eventually stared back at me firmly and nodded at me.

Then, in grand footsteps, stand before a pot that reveals the hand of God.

As Master Ardina slowly kneaded her right hand in front of the pot, her 'chi' swelled.

At once, I got goosebumps on my arm.

Though it was a 'pulse' that seemed to run endlessly vertically, nevertheless, only one large stream was maintained, even though it bent on distortion (snoring).

But that's also up to now.

Just now, in one of Master Ardina's whispering behaviors, the 'temperatures' around the 'sanctuary' became as if they had finally exploded.

I noticed I was sitting on the spot with my mouth open.

When I was once a witch, I don't think this would have happened to correct the 'temper'. Correcting the flow of 'chi' was a quieter, harsher ritual.

I wonder what the hell this is, like something started flying, sparkling, jumping like a spring.

Soon, Noel came behind my back and stayed with me on the side.

Master Ardina is doing something amazing right now.

The same 'witch' as I once was, but its essence is completely different.

Because this is how she is now confronted with a situation I never faced: correcting a distorted 'tempo' due to unforeseen circumstances.

Dear Ardina, who is taking the 'pulse' around the rampage, while it is rampant.

I'm not trying to force you to hold it down. She stared at the 'pulse' overflowing and bouncing with a serious look. There is no rush or fear in that look. Yes, but she is being taken.

How much time would have passed?

And whosoever opened his mouth, he was not alone.

And the 'pulse' wave that was bouncing around this space with our faces was only losing its momentum at any given time. So that the child who had the eclampsia would be raging in front of his mother and eventually raging tired and grown up. After all that rebellion and showing, I end up leaning on my mother.

In that way, "Chi" gathered around Master Ardina one by one.

Lady Ardina gently closes her eyes and accepts the Qi.

Then I opened my eyes again - and then a single 'stream' emerged, and the 'stream' went longitudinally through the middle of the room around her.

As Ardina advanced one step forward, she touched the Holy Spirit with her right hand.

At that moment, the source of the flow is transferred from Ardina-like to Xu.

It didn't look like I did anything special.

It was really, really quiet and insignificant.

Thus, the distorted 'temper' regained its rightful appearance.
