#304
“It’s been a while. “Corporal.”
Adeshan said. A cold downcast voice lingered in Ronan’s ears. After being dumbfounded for a long time he finally opened his mouth.
“…General? “Are you really the general?”
“okay. It’s been a long time since we had a conversation like this. How have you been?”
“yes. “I’ve been doing well but how on earth…”
His head was still confused. First of all it was definitely not the existing Adeshan acting. Not only was there no reason for that but the atmosphere it gave off was completely different.
“how….”
Ronan repeated. He never thought they would meet again. His vision was about to turn hazy. Ade Shan took his hand out of his pocket and touched his chest.
“I didn’t expect it either. There was still room left in his treasures for his return. Although I completely lost the power to turn back time I was able to preserve my personality and memories within this child’s body.”
“That can’t be possible. “Then where has your personality gone?”
“Don’t worry it’s safe inside me. “Because I’m having a happy dream like everyone else…a very happy dream.”
Adeshan chuckled. She said he took over her body while her original personality was asleep. Ronan asked a question without being able to hide his embarrassment.
“So you were inside the whole time? “From the day my current senior was born?”
“That’s not it. My memories of this life began from the moment I met you. “Ever since I was knocked out by Instructor Nabi Rose and held his hand in the nurse’s office.”
I don’t know why but my voice got quieter from the moment the word “hand” came out. She was staring at Ronan but suddenly turned her gaze away.
For some reason her face seemed redder than before. Ade Shan who had been kissing her lips opened his mouth.
“…Corporal. “Can you come here for a moment?”
“yes?”
She seemed to have something to say. Ronan who had approached her without much thought hit her in the face. slam! As soon as the sound of her striking blow rang out his head suddenly turned.
“Keuuk!”
“You bastard.”
My cheek tingled as if it had been burned. The emotion of the reunion was gone along with the pain.
Ronan looked back at her again fiddling with the spot where she had slapped him. Ade Shan’s face was now red as if it would explode if pricked with a needle.
“Phew…if I feel the same way I would like to do more but let’s end this. “You like me still have work left to do.”
“Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?!”
Ronan shed his confusion. Even though I had hit her face quite hard I was more dumbfounded than angry. Adeshan who was quietly breathing raised his ax eyes.
“Your Majesty. Why do you think I gave up the right to turn back time to you?”
“Uh…wasn’t it to help you defeat the bald guys and save the world? “You said you believed in my invincibility.”
“right. Very good job. What I have failed to do in three lives you have accomplished in one go. however….”
“however?”
Suddenly Adeshan started talking. Ronan tilted his head as the awkward silence returned. After washing her face three or four times she said squeezing it out.
“But why on earth did you and I become lovers…!”
“ah.”
Ronan’s mind turned completely white. Her abnormal behavior was immediately understood.
‘Fucked.’
She should have noticed this from the point about her maintaining her personality within her body. He barely came to his senses and began to explain to her gesticulating with his hands and feet.
“That couldn’t be helped. I mean my senior is a really good person. “As you can see from the inside we are really good…”
“Shut up. Don’t say any more than that. “I don’t even know how to feel shame and I do things like that…”
“Uh…are you sure you saw everything from inside? From beginning to end?”
“Then what should we do? “You shameless bastard!”
“Kwaaaak!”
Suddenly Ade Shan stretched out her hands and pulled both of Ronan’s ears. Before he could react he screamed. Ade Shan brought his face close to her eyes and continued talking.
“Yes I saw it all! Everything! “I just had to watch them die from beginning to end!”
“At times like that you should have just gone to sleep….”
“Do you think staying inside is like a boarding house? Huh even thinking about it again it’s shocking. He suddenly kissed me and said it was just because I thought she was pretty? “Where on earth did you learn such ridiculous lines?”
“Ahh! “Don’t pull my ears!”
Ronan struggled. Maybe it was because her personality had changed but somehow her taste seemed to have become spicier. Without stopping Adeshan began pouring out her accumulated words.
“It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it. He must have made countless young ladies cry with his gift of words. Seducing a woman who had never held a man’s hand at that age would have been as easy as blowing her nose. “Isn’t that right?”
“Damn it…if I had that much ability I would have died in my past life. “This is really my first time dating someone!”
“You probably said that because you knew I had the ability to detect lies right? “If you are deceiving me…”
Adeshan growled. I have never seen such fierce eyes except when leading the final battle with Ahayute. Closing his eyes tightly Ronan complained of his injustice.
“If that was going to happen I didn’t even ask you out. “What does the general say he knows!”
“…!”
Adeshan stiffened. What do you say you know? That single word echoed throughout the quiet battlefield. After a moment of silence she nodded her head.
“…I know.”
“yes?”
“I know that’s true. That’s why I’m keeping you alive. “If you had been a bastard who wandered around without any support I would have pushed you away from the griffon the day you kissed for the first time.”
The hair on her entire body stood on end at the terrifying story. Adeshan removed his hand from Ronan’s ear. Ronan who managed to escape breathed a sigh of relief.
“Phew…is this the end of the hearing?”
“okay. I was unusually excited. “I was sorry.”
“no. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Ronan grinned. Adeshan who was staring at his face had a wry smile on his face. She swallowed what she was trying to say and nodded her head.
“Okay then let’s talk about work now.”
“great. “What is it Asher was controlled by the general?”
“okay. Aside from your father he is the only talent among our allies who can bring about the blessings of the stars. Of course I didn’t know he would be this powerful.”
Ade Shan looked up at the sky with her amazed eyes. The star’s protection that Asher had created on his own seemed to be no different from the one used by the savior. She continued as she assessed the thickness of her shield.
“At this rate I should be able to block three more attacks from him. If he receives assistance like the Savior he will be able to last much longer. But our goal is not just to hold on.”
“Right.”
Ronan hesitated. Asher’s ability was certainly at a formidable level but it would inevitably reach its limit someday.
He had to be struck first and killed. However before launching a counterattack his priority was to wake up those who were trying to spread the word. Ronan remembering the Savior’s words snapped her fingers.
“that’s right. What on earth happened? “My father said something about my sister.”
“That’s literally it. “This is what Miss Iril did.”
“…yes?”
Ronan froze. Adeshan nodded. She said while hugging Dae Taedo and stroking Nabi Rose’s head which was fluttering.
“Your sister is in danger. I don’t know the details but it’s probably an ability to project one’s will into the world. She repeatedly sent warnings to this child but things did not go well perhaps because she was limited in the words she could convey.”
She said Ade Shan pointed at her. She said she had been warning Adeshan of the threat she perceived from within before. After hearing her explain Iril’s movements Ronan sighed briefly.
“All kinds of things happen in life. Could it be that my sister…”
“Unfortunately that is the reality. We need to find it quickly and stop it. “I don’t have time.”
“That’s right. But can’t we just bring these people to their senses using your abilities?”
Ronan asked. If you think about it Asher was moving just fine right now. Ade Shan shook her head.
“I already tried but it was impossible. “Miss Iril’s power is so strong that it cannot be compared to someone like me.”
“Huh? “Then how do Asher and the others move?”
“You just made her body listen to your commands. Even if your mind is intoxicated by happy dreams it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your body. However in order to wake up a personality that has fallen into a dream you must first return it to its original state.”
In short it meant that it was similar to a puppet. A being that dances along a thread without a will. Of course that alone would have been a great help to the military but humans were not weapons and could not be left as is.
“In short there is no answer unless you stop my sister.”
“okay. This is why the cult leader kidnapped your sister. First let her have her happy dreams and then synchronize the thoughts of her whole world. So it makes it impossible to resist the apocalypse at all.”
“You bastard who will tear you to death….”
Ronan gritted his teeth. The problem was that I missed it because of the arrival of the Giant King. Should I have cut it off completely even if it meant taking the damage? Ade Shan who was looking around opened her mouth.
“After waking up the people I look for Navardose. “We’ll have to organize a separate search party.”
“Wasn’t that what happened to Abel?”
“It seems like something is wrong but I can definitely feel that he is alive. “But we need to know the location properly.”
Ronan’s eyes widened. He didn’t come back for a long time so I thought he was dead. She didn’t have a bad feeling that things were progressing smoothly. Yes the general was this kind of person.
“And everything I’ve said so far is for me and others to do. There is something else you need to do. “I don’t have to explain what it is right?”
“…of course.”
Ronan nodded. There was only one thing left for him to do.
This was enough for him to rest. This was the car where Ronan was fiddling with the hilt of his sword. A low deep voice echoed above his head.
『Judgement on those who dare to hurt Him.』
『A fitting price for arrogance.』
“You’re coming quickly.”
Ronan sighed and raised his head. Five or six giants were flying from far away. They were the ones who couldn’t be caught because the king was coming.
『Exterminate mortals! Leave not a single speck of dust behind!』
Then a voice several times louder rang out. The lower surface of the cloud exploded and the King of Giants appeared.
He still had blue blood dripping from his neck and chest. It was a wound suffered by Ronan a little while ago. He Ade Shan said.
“We will share the joy of our reunion after this is over Corporal.”
“That’s a good idea.”
Ronan laughed. It was the same as when I saw it last time. Adeshan concentrated his mind and made a strange hand gesture.
“Get up.”
A low voice rang out. At the same time the shadow’s mana spread around the battlefield. One by one the people who had been wandering around began to wake up.
