Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

334 Other people's lives (3)

Approximately 15 square feet, inside a cabin.

A choking static flows.

Just looking at him, Rick saw El and said nothing, and so did El.

But only voices do not exist.

“ ……. ”

With heavy air, myriad pieces of emotion intersect relentlessly.

Elle's expression from Rick's eyes was so affectionate and complex.

She had already noticed at first glance that the contents were different.

“No way, mister, are you...? ”

The voice must be the same.

Just like my colleagues did before, can she recognize Rick with her tone or her eyes?

I don't know, but Yoon Seok has been suffocating for some reason.

“... Yes, I'm here. ”

It's been a reunion for 500 years.

Only as one concept for each other.

In this empty cabin, El spends a long time waiting while Rick sleeps in his soul.

So it was quite an inspiring scene.

If it was about someone else who had nothing to do with this.

‘Son of a..... ’

It's not his body, it's mine.

In addition, El spoke in a truthful voice the last day.

- It's all about you, Yoon Seok, not anyone else.

That day, I didn't say I wanted to be with Rick, it was you.

Will El still say that now?

I'm sure he did, but Yoon Seok couldn't hide the tension.

Tubbuck.

Rick takes one step carefully.

Elle stood still.

I stared at Rick with just complicated eyes, without stepping back or even getting close.

And he quietly recited a word.

“... What happened? ”

Did you think that if you turned out to be yourself, you'd run for a step and hug him?

Rick is flawed by expectations and other reactions.

But it's not what you don't understand, it's what you think.

“You must be confused. You wouldn't know anything. ”

Even a surprised child can be treated with a gentle voice.

The Yoon Seok I was listening to was absurd.

I didn't know.

Just that Rick didn't tell her anything.

- I don't know what it is, but we just run. Just like old times. Just · · · · ·. Do that. Yeah?

— · · · Everything is for you.

Rick said to Elle, who was mourning and mourning at the time.

At least give me an explanation.

— · · · I can't.

I didn't even give you one last word for a reason.

Elle would have been in pain and distress for many years.

But Rick outlined it in a word.

“I had no choice then. ”

“ ……. ”

“I made a deal with the Queen. To save you. ”

It's not an excuse, but it sounds like an excuse.

Well, it's definitely because of this.

“... I didn't want that. ”

There was only one thing El wanted at the time.

Rick turned his back on it.

So the excuse that it was for you doesn't work.

“Why are you looking so cold...? ”

“ ……. ”

“Everything was really for you. I also endured the pain of tearing my soul out. It was also necessary to spend that long time alone in the dark. ”

“ ……. ”

“And now I meet you. ”

“ ……. ”

“But you, am I not even happy to see you? ”

Elle was consistently silent in Rick's words, as though he was angry because he didn't understand.

And it became the most truthful answer.

“Is it because of him..? ”

“ ……. ”

El didn't answer.

I just asked.

It's like that question is the most important thing to you.

“Yoon Seok..... What happened to Yoon Sook? ”

“ ……. ”

Rick didn't answer either.

I just grabbed my fist like a confirmed death sentence. Rick's anger was clearly felt at the tip of his trembling lunar finger.

“... Why is everyone looking for him? ”

“ ……? ”

“Not him. ”

Yoon Seok began to be nervous in a different sense.

Fortunately, El's heart remained but.....

I don't know what he'll do if he finds out.

The end of obsession is anger and destruction.

“My cabin, not him. Here!”

Rick's anger explodes.

Fortunately, the target was something other than El....

“Argh!”

Quaa 'ang!

Several pickpockets full of small huts break out in an instant.

A dining table with Yoon Sook for refreshments.

An armchair that was lying down and resting together now with a penny or a WP.

Refrigerator full of sweet drinks.

“This too! This too! This too!”

“Stop that! ”

“It wasn't in my cabin! ”

Maybe I was just turning my back from the beginning.

I didn't know that anger was boiling hot in there.

- Teach me. Next thing I don't know.

- Tongue, tongue, tongue! Inside!

Rick would have watched all the conversations that Yoon Seok had with El that day, of course.

Quaa 'ang!

“No, this kind of thing..... No.... ”

Elle hesitates in the violence so hostile.

And I felt like I was begging.

“Yoon Seok……. Please, give me back the Yoon Seok..... ”

“Are you looking for him in front of me? ”

That behavior paralyzed Rick's reasoning.

Rick, who took off his mask and covered his face, grabbed Elle's gorgeous wrist.

“Look! I'm him! Isn't that why you made him feel better? ”

“Not at all……. ”

“Well, then, isn't it strange! Elizabeth Lorwen! I was laughing and chattering together in this hut! I was trying to save you that day and die! ”

“Let go, please let go……! ”

“Then you had a naive corner. Are you doing this for a kiss? If that's the case, as much as I..... ”

“Let go of this! ”

El bites Rick's wrist with all his might.

No pain, no casualties.

However…….

“… what did I do. ”

El's desperate actions were enough to get Rick's reasoning back.

Rick releases the hand that was holding his wrist.

And he retreated like a frightened man.

“Oh, no. I'm trying to do this.... ”

Rick, who reflectively excused himself, blurred his tail.

It does not appear to be covered in snow, but the emotion of contempt was conveyed to the skin so vividly.

“ ……. ”

A car that went on such a strange journey for a long time.

Elle opened her mouth in a cold voice.

“Mister.”

“ ……. ”

“Maybe we were looking for someone to save each other. ”

“No, not really. ”

“if we were both dead that day. ”

El is rooting out the hand of the tower.

If Rick hadn't been tempted by the queen.

No, that day when we were reunited with each other, we were satisfied at that moment and ran away somewhere.

If you had the courage to make a different choice among the many choices you would have made after that.

“If I had, it would have been better than this..... ”

Deep recitation of grief.

Last time I saw it, El reached out.

And at the same time, the phrase that comes to mind.

You have been removed from the admin zone.

Go to the waiting room.

I thought like that.

Fate is just a convenient excuse.

In the end, it may be the result of a choice you have to make.

* * *

“El! Call me again! ”

“Let's talk, let's talk! Then you must be..! ”

“El--!”

The waiting room that came back.

Rick calls Elle with a whale sound in the air..

“Zenzaaaaaaaah!”

There were no calls.

Rick then slams the floor with his fist and bursts into fury.

And on the other hand, Yoon Seok was relieved.

‘Yeah, I'd rather be good. There's nothing El can do in this situation anyway. ’

At least he didn't do anything to hurt her. I don't know how to get my body back yet.

‘I wish I could just give it back. You wouldn't, would you?’

Maybe Rick still doesn't admit it.

I've packed it with words that I can't help but.....

In fact, it wasn't, and I know that he still has a choice now.

- I wasn't special.

Just like the queen who left a word and left the stage lonely.

He still has a choice.

But Yoon Seok abandoned his expectations.

Seeing her end, he couldn't be different now that he didn't understand, saying he was making an unknown sound until the end.

Oh, did it make any difference?

“Top……. We need to meet with the tower. ”

“Just erase the memory of him..... It'll come back to normal. ”

“L. Wait. I will set you free. ”

There's a crooked back that can't be in Rick's madness.

Liberation?

What he's trying to do now is different from what he did to the tower that he was playing with destiny, or to the Treasure School that he was trying to imprison and use!

‘.. You are completely insane. ’

If the end of 500 years of obsession is like this, the sane side might be weird.

Rick's feelings for El are already twisted.

Quaa 'ang!

Within minutes, Rick lowers the wall with his fist.

But as before, it was not an act of anger. Rick walks past the wall that was crushed by the effects of the Pa Cheonbaek.

And…….

Qaaaaaaaah!

I repeated the same action once more.

Yoon Seok intuitively knew what Rick wanted.

He's heading for the center of the tower he stumbled upon. To meet the tower.

However, what happened after that was unexpected for Yoon Sook and Rick.

“Phones, man? ”

When the second wall is broken, the familiar face is caught in sight.

Sharon Applan.

Oh, he lived right here.

“You, are you back? ”

Sharon, who was looking at the tablet, is embarrassed and asks Rick if he was picking up any of the rewards the tower gave him.

Of course there was no way the right answer would come back.

“This is the original me. ”

“Oh, you haven't? ”

“... annoying things. Out of the way!”

“Argh!”

Concerned, Rick pushes Sharon aside and continues to break the wall.

It did not take long to reach the destination.

Saaaaaaaah!

A spherical space with a chilly wind.

Rick, who was looking down, stepped on the ground, leaped high and sat on a staircase in the center.

And muttered to myself.

“If you hadn't found this place, I wouldn't have known. ”

I'll be unfair again.

Where's the only discovery?

I struggled with the words and put in place a countermeasure.

I really couldn't imagine.

That the one who uses it will be the other one.

Dimension root ignores Dimension Resistance.

Non-lost root is perfectly resistant to the deletion code.

This is one, isn't it, a total thief?

Well, from his point of view, I'm the one who took the most precious thing.

That would be self-employment.

"Abnormal approach detected.

Anyway, with the protection of the transcendental muscles, I climbed up the stairs and soon the phrase came to mind.

That's the boundary.

What else can we get out of here?

No, is it possible to go further in the first place?

What happens if I go out for nothing and get dragged back to the penalty zone?

At that time, Yoon Seok had to go back to the way he had to come back because of this concern....

"Abnormal approach detected.

Rick stepped up without hesitation, as if he knew what was on it.

How long has it been since.

‘Is this the end? ’

The narrow spiral staircase, which continued endlessly, turns into a straight line and leads to the wall surface.

Beyond the last staircase lies a large door.

Choke.

Rick opens the door without hesitation.

Then, a familiar sight appeared.

‘This is..... ’

It was a space I've been to many times.

A spacious space similar to the first floor of the lighthouse.

And the four statues that filled it, and the letters that were engraved underneath.

[Adventure], [Exploration], [Mission], [Fight]

Everything started here.
