Chapter.42 Long-awaited wish

***

Lurin didn’t know.

That this world is bright.

Because what was in Lulin’s world was just darkness.

It’s not just darkness either.

In Lulin’s heart, there was always darkness boiling with anger.

Bright world.

That’s a word that didn’t exist in Lurin’s world.

So ‘happiness’ and ‘love’ were words that were most distant from Lurin.

Lulin’s mother too.

Elder too.

Especially the black dragons that were harassing her.

And Lulin himself.

Love and happiness did not exist in Lurin’s life.

But a crack appeared in that daily life. As if forming a large stratum that had accumulated over tens of thousands of years, the cracks in Lurin’s heart began to grow little by little.

It took quite a long time for the crack to break down the large barrier in Lurin’s heart.

Originally, Lulin’s heart contained great anger, not ‘love’. Before meeting El, the only things that made up Lurin were anger and darkness.

Lulin has been living a lonely life since losing her mother.

And that too for quite a long time.

However, in reality, he did not do a single thing on his own to seek revenge, which was the final destination of his anger.

All they do is curse alone, become upset alone, and hide themselves in the darkness alone.

Lulin couldn’t do anything.

It was after meeting El that a big change came to Rurin.

Even though thoughts about ‘mom’ are always bubbling in my ‘heart’.

While I was with L, the boiling started to subside without me even realizing it. The emotions that had been boiling over began to gradually become lukewarm as I spent time with him.

The desire for revenge still remained, but the seething darkness that could not be seen even an inch in front of him disappeared and he was forced to face reality.

Thanks to that, Lulin was able to smile.

Playing around with L and laughing.

Laughing and eating food with L.

He glances at L and smiles.

A being has been created that cannot be given to anyone else. Lulin smiled for the first time since leaving the old rare.

For Lulin, who was consumed by the boiling darkness and unable to do anything, that smile gave him the opportunity to face revenge.

Face to face with revenge. A chance to fight vengeance and drive away that darkness once and for all.

Therefore, Lulin was staring straight at his enemy at this moment.

If it were like before, I wouldn’t have been able to hold back even for a moment and would have exploded.

It was as if Medidana had launched himself the moment he identified his enemy.

Lurin recalled that she also looked like that. If I hadn’t met El, maybe even now.

But Lurin held back.

Because El told me to endure it in order to get revenge.

Quaaaaang-!

Dragons still fight each other.

But Lulin looked at all the dragons indifferently until an opportunity came.

As Medidana jumped in, he surprisingly realized one thing.

Medidana also had the same darkness as her previous self.

Because Medidana was an ancient dragon, it wasn’t boiling ‘darkness’.

Still, I had enough ‘darkness’, and thanks to that darkness, my heart was pierced.

This is my old self.

For the first time, Lurin felt a sorrowful kinship with her grandfather.

-Because the elder did not have El.

It looked fine, but it wasn’t fine.

Later, when L explained about the elder, I realized it. The elder seemed strong, but he was actually weaker than he was.

That is the elder, or rather, his grandfather.

‘Was the elder also sick? In the same darkness as me?’

That’s why Rulin had this thought.

Blood is flowing.

Blood flowed like a puddle.

‘I am different. I can tolerate it because I have L. Even now. Even with those enemies right in front of you!’

Lulin blinked and stopped the bleeding from the elder’s wound with his hand. Touching the wounds on the dragon’s body with a human fern-like hand would not help at all, but I took my hand anyway.

Although my resentment and estrangement from my elders did not disappear like the melting snow all at once.

Lulin felt a clear sense of kinship at this moment.

So when El finished explaining the elder. Lurin stood right in front of El and whispered softly.

“then… “I try to forgive.”

Of course, L smiled sweetly at those words.

But elders and enemies are different. I just had to endure it.

Revenge must be taken.

The opportunity came soon.

El led the way to that opportunity. It’s not just an opportunity. In front of the black dragons who had been harassing him, they all shut up and made it impossible for them to say a single word to him.

-Ugh.

Lulin closed his eyes. Even though the enemy fell in front of my eyes, for some reason, what came out were tears, not anger.

These tears are flowing purely because of L.

I was suddenly struck by the coolness of the man who had always been by my side since the moment I met him.

With those thoughts, Lulin kicked the ancient dragon Riheim and poured out magic.

The more it happened, the more the red dragon elder in the sky roared.

“Can not be done! Can not be done! This can never be like this! “This is wrong!”

The meaningless flash continued.

“It’s wrong. It was so wrong. “Go back and fix it!”

To the point where I even shout things like this. It was twisting its body in the sky and going crazy.

It is a collapse, not a collapse.

Lulin was watching the scene clearly.

Because I can’t just keep taking it.

Take care of yourself too.

That’s why I kept my eyes on the Red Dragon elder and used my breath just as he was about to run away.

Let the mana that the Red Dragon Elder had been gathering disappear due to the pain of his wings being torn apart.

Looking at the cause of the fall.

Lurin bit her lip, thinking why she had to be trapped in the dark for so long because of these guys.

And then I glanced at El.

El was angry at the Red Dragon elder.

Because of yourself.

Just because of myself.

So Lurin opened her tightly closed lips. And smiled.

Although this is the situation.

No, because it was a situation like this, my heart was pounding violently.

There is a being in front of you right now that gives you happiness.

So let’s put an end to this final tragedy. Now I’m just going to laugh.

Rurin threw a flying kick while making a promise to her mother in the sky.

The moment the Red Dragon elder screamed and turned to dust.

Lulin’s heart turned white like a lie.

For some reason, Lurin felt like her mother was smiling from heaven.

Black dragons.

Unlike when he called me a disgrace and harassed me, now I can’t even make eye contact with him. But I didn’t feel anything special.

“They are idiots. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Rurin thought like this and looked at El.

***

Red sky.

A sunset.

The Black Dragon’s sanctuary, which was almost stained with red blood, was peaceful, and the sunset was somehow more beautiful than usual.

Just like the sun, which was temporarily obscured by a pile of meteorites and was unable to show off its light to its fullest, bursts forth at the end.

In front of him, Lurin urged El. Earlier, there were too many dragons, so I had to endure it again and again.

Not anymore.

Only two remain.

So I puffed out my cheeks and shouted.

I didn’t like El, who had been vaguely explaining things from earlier.

That’s because he heard that he was definitely interested in getting married!

“you! All the noisy stuff is gone now! So, that one from earlier! that!”

“that?”

“Don’t pretend not to know!”

“Is that so?”

“uh?”

At Lulin’s shout, El suddenly changed her attitude. Then Lulin was rather embarrassed.

But L was reckless.

Raise Lulin’s hand. And while Lurin was embarrassed, she took off the pink ring in one go.

Lurin, who was caught off guard, was startled and screamed.

“What are you talking about! you?”

Are you taking away the ring I gave you?

Unable to understand the situation for a moment, Lulin began to stutter like a broken robot.

“Give it to me! “You said it was a token of love between me and you, so why did you take it away!”

“Lurin.”

“What!”

The more this happened, the more L began to give him a straight face and not give him the ring. At that stern expression, Lurin had to drop her shoulders without realizing it.

“Now you’ve gotten the revenge you wanted so badly, right? “Lurin, what was the biggest burden on your heart is gone, right?”

“That’s right. “I feel like my mind has been purified somehow!”

“yes?”

Nod.

I can’t forgive you for taking my ring, though. Since that was true, Lulin nodded strongly.

“Then now Lulin must start anew. “With a new heart.”

Lurin narrowed her eyes and asked back because she didn’t like El’s words.

“What are you starting over?”

“Forget this ring, forget your enemies, forget your grudges, and start everything anew.”

“… … “What?”

Lurin did not understand El’s words. No, it was something I didn’t need to understand.

“So the ring is confiscated.”

Lurin exploded at L’s absurd remark.

“you? What do you mean… ?”

Ugh!

Why is the ring confiscated?

A token of love!

Lurin could not hold back and flew towards El and threw a kick.

Whoa whoa!

As Lulin’s trademark exploded, El fell to the floor.

“Yumma!”

El shouted, but Lurin paid no attention and climbed on top of the fallen El and grabbed her by the collar.

“If the ring is confiscated, what happens to our engagement? Man, I’m really mad! “I won’t forgive you!”

Lulin’s face turned red. This is not a face that turns red because of embarrassment.

It was red, as if my blood pressure was high and I was about to burst.

L, who was downstairs, started laughing when he heard the words that he would not forgive.

“It’s just this ring. Just this ring. “There is something else.”

“Eh?”

The atmosphere is different from when I took off the ring earlier and looked at it with a straight face. Lulin read the atmosphere and made a blank face.

I’m not sure, but something is definitely going wrong.

“Ugh!”

When I thought about that, I puffed out my cheeks again.

“Don’t puff out your cheeks. Explodes? And just look down! Down! “Please raise your upper body.”

At those words, Lurin unconsciously moved her butt back toward El’s thigh.

Then El raised her upper body and held Lurin’s hand.

“Lurin, open your hand here.”

Lurin still puffed out her cheeks, but spread her hands as if drawn to a magnet by El’s words.

“As you know, that ring from earlier is an engagement ring.”

“It’s a token of love!”

“Yes, but actually, this is the real proof.”

“What on earth are you talking about earlier!”

Lulin tilted his head. L was so strange from before. In front of Lulin, El took out a ring from her pocket.

It’s not pink.

The ring itself was clunky. Because I had to improvise, I didn’t have time to do the work. But the black kernels were shining mysteriously.

“Lurin. This is a black dragon bead. I was used by them and gave them various excuses, but that was because the dragons’ desires were wrong, and there was nothing wrong with the orb itself. In fact, if you think about it, this could be said to be the only keepsake left by Lulin’s mother. “I heard from the elder that Lurin’s mother said she would donate the dragon beads to be kept in the shrine, so she wanted to divide them up and pass on half to you, Lulin.”

The bead is owned by the person who found it. Offering something to a sacred place is an act done voluntarily.

“I made it in a hurry so it’s not pretty, but the elder Red Dragon broke it and made it into a round shape. So this is your mother.”

As El said that, she placed the ring with the shining black bead on Lulin’s finger.

“It is like your mother because it is a bead filled with your mother’s heart for you. So, I’ll tell you in front of him.”

After speaking to that point, El lifted Lurin, who was sitting on her lower body, upright, shook the dust, and then knelt down again.

“I will serve you for the rest of my life, so stop making such foolish faces and marry me, Lulin.”
