Episode 108: An Interlude Between Two (6)

"Linoa!"

Yongtai rushes over to Linoa and forcefully turns to herself.

And I grabbed both shoulders and rocked them many times.

It would be Linoa - swallow that word, and Yongta, again, faces Linoa.

"Linoa......"

"" Eh. ""

But even to Yongtai's sad voice, Linoa's reply has not returned.

Just like hope, he just has a confused look on his face.

"Hey, you don't get me?

"Do you know her?

"Are you someone I know?

To Yongtai's appeal, his hopes bewildered but questioned him.

Linoa also strangely repeats the same behavior.

"You must be a childhood friend!

Yongta says so in a rough tone.

Hope flashed like a void poked at Yongtai's statement that exploded his emotions.

"Yeah, you are."

"Really?"

"Eh."

The answer Linoa told was the worst substitute Yongtai could have imagined.

Even though it was Linoa in front of me, I was struck by the feeling as if I was confronting someone I didn't know how to handle.

The same look of Linoa as the hope proves it helplessly.

"She doesn't know you anymore."

"... eh"

To Hyun's assertion, Yongtai agrees bitterly and only in his heart.

Linoa doesn't know me anymore.

The long-awaited reunion with Linoa became unrepentant to Yongta.

Guided by Linoa, who has become the earliest changed figure, Yongta closes her eyes.

"When I become Master Miro, it's not the" I "that Yongta-kun already knows. That's why I wanted to say my final goodbye, even when I was out. '

Yuta unexpectedly remembers the lonely grin that Linoa had that day.

Linoa's laughing face, his crying face, his shy face and his pretentious rotten face all find it loving.

Now Linoa is not the Linoa I know anymore.

But this time, I want to protect Linoa.

I'm not letting Linoa do what they want.

Just so many thoughts struck Yuta's heart violently and also took away the calmness of one shard.

"Uncle, aunt!

Yongtai sues with anxiety as he turns his gaze to Linoa's parents, who had refrained from doing so backwards.

"Is it okay if Linoa stays like this?

"Oh, sure."

"Yuta-kun. Linoa took over the will of the goddess."

To the loving smile of Linoa's parents, Yongta felt her chest ripped open with sadness as if she had eaten an unintentional blow.

"Linoa would be Linoa! I'm not a goddess!

Yongta-kun, what are you talking about?

"That's right. From now on, we have to call Linoa Miro."

Listening to the words of the terminal Linoan parents, Yongta clings to why Linoa has become like this.

High Alliance, "Legion".

It is an guild to which Linoa and Linoa's parents belong, a dangerous guild that celebrates the collection of data based on one of the users of special skills - Miro - as guild master.

In the anxiety of pushing over, Yongta was convinced that if you keep your hands around her, you'll never see her again.

It meant it would go away.

To dispel that suspicion, Yongtai continued to complain desperately.

"So your uncle and aunt deny the existence of Linoa?

"Yongta-kun, Linoa's gone."

"That's right."

"... eh"

The words of Linoa's parents, who had already exhausted their emotions, moved Yuta's will above all else.

"If the world forgets Linoa, I'll never forget Linoa!

"It's no use. I can't get your word."

To Yongtai's fury, Xian said it cold as a mockery.

Yet, in the words of Linoa's parents, as he punched into the machine, Yongta puts a glimmer of hope on it.

"My uncle and aunt would be Linoa's favorite father and mother! Don't forget about the real Linoa!

"... true linoa"

"Love it......"

The word - far beyond Xian's imagination, strongly inspired Linoa's parents.

'... father, mother. I'll do my best to be reborn to the goddess. So laugh, don't cry. Whatever I look like,' cause I'm the daughter of your father and mother. '

Looking at Yongtai's serious eyes, the words of nature and Linoa come back to life behind Linoa's parents' brains.

"Linoa......"

Linoa's father snapped with a mosquito squeaking voice and gripped his sleeve hard.

"Ritual of assimilation" by Linoa and Miro.

It's a tragedy that happened right in front of you.

But we were happy to accept it.

Distorted and puzzling phenomenon.

The discomfort, as if it were a direct, touched soul, strikes two.

"Linoa...... Ugh, uhh... Ahhh!"

A voice overflowed from Linoa's mother's mouth as she tried to indulge.

He blues his face and his body is shaking in small pieces.

Linoa's mother, who collapsed on the spot, leaked a whimper and had no place to stop her from crying.

Why did we offer our precious daughter as a vessel for the goddess?

Why did we sacrifice our daughter?

The question erodes the bottom invisible crack in Linoa's parents' hearts.

I couldn't stop crying.

It overflowed like spring water and I couldn't stop it.

Linoa's parents kept blaming themselves forever and ever.

"Brainwash solved"

"Brainwashing......?

To Xian's point, Linoa's parents, with their faces up, are breathtaking.

It was applied to the families of the girls who had grabbed it in order to elect Miro's vessel.

We don't have to do that to ourselves, the guild members of Legion.

"Though it's for the guild's sake, you've refused to give your daughter away. In order for Miro to fulfill her true awakening, you were accepted without hesitation to offer her daughter."

"" Eh. ""

Linoa's parents are stunned by the truth that Xian told them.

In other words, brainwashing had turned my daughter's fears into expectations when she was selected as a candidate for the vessel, and anxiety into joy at once.

"Oh no..."

It's like, what you've been believing, breaking away from the roots.

It was a sense of impatience to come to Linoa's parents' chest, witnessing the hopelessly desperate fact of it.
