Episode 388 Shin
Ha-yoon, who awakened Morgan’s power, divided Shin Yu-seong’s memory into 5 pieces. So it was right for Shin Yoo-seong to float in the waves of dreams while losing his ego.
“…But why do I have memories?”
Shin Yuseong even knew that he was the 4th piece. He also knew that he had to regain his body by merging with his original memories.
‘But this place…’
Shin Yoo-seong, sitting on the raft, looked around. I saw sloppy waves that looked like they had been drawn with crayons and an awkward orange sun in the sky that looked like they had been painted with colored pencils.
“Is it like a place of exile made with Morgan’s power?”
I didn’t know that Shin Ha-yoon had such a hobby, confining herself to a strange world like Velvet’s drawing but coloring.
“That’s not it~ They say it’s a sketchbook drawn by Velvet?”
Yooseong Shin turned his head when Amy’s voice turned around on the raft alone. But there was no one on the raft.
“Here I am! to the sea!”
The place where Amy’s voice was heard was not on a raft, but in the sea.
“Eh Amy?”
“…after you were surprised. party leader? I understand. What a surprise I was when he suddenly telepathically told me that I had to search for memories at random!”
No matter how much this is a dream, Amy was right when I saw her chattering and shrugging her shoulders.
“Seeing you so cheerful… Amy, you must be real.”
“Ugh, do you really believe this much?”
“There is such a thing as intuition. Of course, I don’t understand the current situation.”
“Hmm, I guess I should explain first. First of all, to the raft…”
Shin Yoo-seong put his forehead on the raft in a situation that was difficult to follow, and Amy stepped on something and came up to the raft grunting.
“Oh, because the waves are high. It’s not easy to get on the raft. I feel like I’m getting motion sickness…”
“Amy. What do you mean this is not in Velvet’s sketchbook?”
“It’s a literal story! There is someone who has protected the memory of the party leader. No… isn’t that a bit like a human being?”
However, in the eyes of Shin Yoo-seong, there was no place for people to be. All around is a sloppy sea as if drawn with crayons, but where the hell are people?
“You come up now too.”
Amy stretched out her hand toward the sea as if to answer Shin Yoo-seong’s question. And what held that hand was none other than a fin mixed with white and black.
“Oh Orca? Then the one who protected my memories in this place…”
“Huh!”
The short-finned orca climbed the raft with more effort than Amy, who had limbs.
“Orca… waited for us hiding in the Glass Heart?”
Shin Yoo-seong, who had all the puzzles solved in his head, could not speak any more. Orca tried to be helpful until the last moment to protect Velvet. In the end, he hid in the glass heart with that mental power and helped like this.
“…The thing that came out of Toy World through a doll called Orca! And meeting the little master was the best choice in my toy life. I just wanted to repay that.”
Orca expressed gratitude even in this situation. He was sincerely satisfied that he, who had been an abandoned toy, ended up as a beloved toy.
That’s why Shin Yuseong had nothing more to say. Just expressing gratitude in the same way was the best answer I could give now.
“thank you. Orca…” Orca
, a doll of a killer whale, was a product obtained from Eun-ah Kim and the festival, Toy King was the boss of the tower, and Velvet was born from an egg left by the Red Dragon Sardonyx. If you think about it, it was a very coincidental overlap.
However, the current situation facing Shin Yoo-seong seemed inevitable. Orca, who was only a doll, became a thread of fate, and Toy King, who was an enemy, saved Shin Yoo-seong’s memory.
“You… were a good friend of Velvet.”
Orca scratched his head with a hehe- in response to Shin Yoo-seong’s sincere gratitude, then waved his hand, saying that the opposite fin was enough.
“You are my best friend! To me, who is a toy, it is too much and too overwhelming a word. Of course, it feels great.”
“Orca…. It makes people smile-” As
Amy, who was watching from the side, wiped away her tears, Orca changed the subject.
“The sea is much nicer than that, isn’t it?”
“ocean? It feels like I quit after painting too roughly to be the sea.”
To be honest, Velvet wasn’t good at drawing, even though she was smart. Of course, there are dragons with a good sense of art in the world, but Velvet was an exception.
But even so, Orca seemed to like the picture Velvet drew.
“Hmm I’ve never seen the real sea, but this place is the best sea for me. I made an appointment with the little master.”
“promise? what promise?”
Is it because parents and children look alike?
At first, it was young Kim Eun-ah’s absurd dream, but the baton was taken over by Velvet.
“The little master decided to cross the Pacific Ocean with me. I’m a doll, but I float.”
But that dream can no longer come true.
Now he was a toy king, not an orca, and his soul was already separated while hiding in the glass heart. There was no place to go back to and no longer to be friends. Orca must have already become an ordinary doll.
“Of course, now the promise must be fulfilled by the mistress and master.”
“Are you really satisfied with that?”
Shin Yoo-seong knelt down on one knee and met his gaze. It was respect and gratitude to a toy that had the courage to sacrifice for the sake of a loved one.
“Because the master’s dream is my dream. Originally, my goal was much worse.”
Orca remembered the past when he was a toy king. He remembered himself as the lonely king of the toy kingdom. He remembered how he, who was just a toy, became the boss of the tower.
“No matter how wonderful a toy or no matter how cute a doll is, as time goes by and you get older, when a person who was a child becomes an adult, they are abandoned. Toy World is… a kingdom of discarded toys.”
Orca wanted to conquer the world. At the end, I wanted to make it so that young children can play for the rest of their lives in Toy World so that they do not throw away their toys even when they become adults.
“A place full of toys that hate people who abandoned them… I was the king of Toy World. I will make sure humans never abandon us again. That revenge was our dream.”
However, Orca shook her head, saying that there was no meaning.
“But there was no point in hating humans. I am a toy.”
What could be more fun for toys than playing with humans?
Even the ending is different this time. Orca wasn’t abandoned by Velvet.
“Besides, I… met my end for a friend who wasn’t abandoned! There is no toy happier than me.”
There was no time limit for Orca.
“If only I had one last request.”
Flutter-!
The landscape changed with the sound of paper falling. Did the pages of the sketchbook turn over? The world where there used to be a sloppy sea and sun has now become a scene where Orca and Velvet are laughing while reading fairy tales.
“Please save the little master-!”
In the place where the sea used to be, a black and white orca and graffiti-like velvet were playing happily.
“And… even though I can’t answer, I’m always a killer whale stuffed orca! If you talk to me, I’ll keep listening…”
The orca laughed and waved the killer whale’s fin. Even as the pages of my sketchbook turned and my body disappeared, I didn’t stop waving my fins.
“Stay friends!”
Crooked.
An unidentified island drawn with messy lines. The Pacific Ocean depicted as a single straight line drawn with light blue crayons. Shin Yoo-seong’s spirit drifted away after Orca, who was happy with the velvet burned.
‘I’m just going back.’
He returns to the real world as his original self with the rest of his memories. But won’t that change anything?
Shin Yoo-seong blocked Morgan’s attack with the path he had walked. I grabbed Orca’s will to save Velvet.
* * *
Since Morgan left, Sumire and Laplace have been waiting for the rest of their memories to be recovered in the relatively safe inner castle.
But that too is over now.
As long as Shin Yoo-seong had regained most of his memories, Laplace was finishing preparations for the end.
“You’ve already recovered 4 out of 5, so your companion and colleagues seem to be quite capable. Then I must prepare soon.”
“yes? Speaking of preparation…”
However, Laplace was worried about how to explain the current situation to Sumire. He hated hurting Sumire, but telling lies wasn’t Laplace’s style either.
“Hey. Have you ever put priority on what you like?”
That is why Laplace said something enigmatic.
“Are you talking about rankings?”
“Yes, no matter how precious something is, it has an edge. The moment of choice is not a guest who only comes when he wants it. In other words, it is more like an uninvited guest.”
There is only one step left.
Sumire believed that if Shin Yoo-seong regained his memory, he would be able to stop Shin Ha-yoon and put an end to this disgusting situation. I couldn’t understand why Laplace was saying something enigmatic right now.
“No way, Laplace-sama…”
Sumire, who noticed something was wrong, tried to continue, but Laplace placed her index finger on her lips and gave a hissing warning.
“…Isn’t the thing right in front of you right now the first thing?”
Then, Laplace approached Sumire and kissed her on the forehead, whispering a final lesson.
“You haven’t forgotten what’s important like a fool, have you?
“Are you… leaving me?”
According to the records of the tower, Laplace, the Witch of Plague, was a wicked woman who was pointed at, but at least for Sumire, the story was different. To Sumire, Laplace was a benefactor who cared for her like a parent.
“It would have been nice if I hadn’t given you affection, but I have no regrets. It may have been a long time for you, but it was a short spring dream for me.”
However, Laplace did not explain to Sumire, who was such an existence, what would happen from now on.
“After spending this much time, meeting and parting are like a piece of paper, so there is no difference.”
Just for the sake of the last teaching, there is an order to important things.
“…so it doesn’t matter. hey forget me Do you want to protect the one who is more precious to you than life?”
It just taught me how to let go.
