Chapter 681 4. Promised farewell. =========================================================================

Time has slipped along.

Just after I finished my relationship with Gehenna, I got up and took a long breath.

I’m embarrassed.

No matter how many times I think about it, Gehenna reacts very passionately. In line with that, I often do my best without knowing, but it’s good when I’m sure. I can concentrate without thinking.

But then when the passion subsides and reason comes, I feel a little embarrassed.

“It’s not that much of a thing to do.”

After a bitter smile, I lowered my eyes. Underneath the hot craze, Gehenna lay down like a wet cotton and closed her eyes. There are traces of a relationship everywhere in the enchanting sleeveless shirt. He looks very satisfied with a pale smile that is barely visible around his mouth.

I gently patted my hair, but there was no response. I didn’t fall asleep, but I think I’m enjoying the afterglow of the relationship. Because it’s been like that all this time.

Not wanting to interrupt the time, I slowly tore myself down and buried my face gently between Gehenna’s breasts.

Soon, I felt a warm and touching feeling on my face and a soft touch of stroking my head. I felt like I was falling asleep, but I held it in. I rubbed my face slightly against Gehenna’s breast as if I were a child.

Time passed quietly. We didn’t open a word while I was acting like a baby and Gehenna was patting me on the back from time to time. As a result, the day became deeper and the view became darker. The night has come in the black section.

When I rolled out to the side of Gehenna, moving my body slightly.

“Why. You don’t mess with me until I fall asleep. As always.”

Finally, Gehenna quietly opened her mouth. I smiled blandly because it sounded like what’s going on with you.

“Just in case the baby is having a hard time.”

This time, Gehenna burst out laughing lightly.

“You don’t have to worry about it. Now the child is very happy.”

You’re happy?

“How do you know that?”

‘Cause I can feel it.’

“……?”

“Of course it is. I’ve been loved by my father so much that I can’t be happy to be a child.”

Speak in a calm voice. And Gehenna wrapped her belly with both hands. You look really happy.

But I couldn’t help laughing at Henna. Still, it was a few days ago. This is because I felt like I had a bone when I heard this in front of the climbing section, which is the top floor of the hell section. Gehenna also said something, but her face was slightly stiff. There was an uncomfortable silence for a moment.

It was not long before Gehenna laid back gently in the direction of not looking at me. Suddenly, I moved my fingers in a nervous mood, and gently touched Gehenna’s stomach as if to sweep her. Gehenna groaned comfortably, but did not show a particular rejection.

After touching my stomach for a long time, I quietly opened my mouth.

“You know… Gehenna.”

“Huh?”

I wondered if I could really say it, but I managed to pluck up the courage to continue.

“Later, when the baby is born…And after some time, when I grow up, I ask about my father…How are you gonna tell me then?”

Gehenna did not speak immediately. As if he was deep in thought, he buried his head further in the ground and breathed even breath for a while.

“Well, maybe….”

But after a long time, the voice of Henna, who seemed somehow cautious, slowly flowed into my ears.

“Wouldn’t you say that he was a father who loved to sleep with his face buried in his breast, and was a childless father who was not fit for his age?”

“…Huh?”

“Also, as soon as I get you pregnant, I think I’m a father who’s back in the world. Oh, but let’s just say there was something I couldn’t help. Although I don’t know what the situation is.”

“Hey, that’s a little….”

Aside from saying so, it was a moment to protest lightly because I thought it was a little too much.

“And.”

“Too….”

“It’s cold on the outside, but it makes me feel affectionate when I hug my mother.I’m going to tell you that he was a warm-hearted man.”

“…….”

But the moment Gehenna followed, I instinctively shut up. Finally, Gehenna stopped talking. Eventually, the awkward silence falls again.

I gently lifted my hand and lay back on the other side of Gehenna. Suddenly, Oman complex thoughts crossed my mind and quickly faded away. I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t say anything. It’s just that one side of my heart is burning.

I wonder how you’re all doing..’

Suddenly

I don’t want to go.

The moment I thought that, I was surprised by myself. The thoughts that just passed by were mainly those of my brother, Han So-young, and Clan members. The reason why I have to go back is enough. No, the garage is overflowing. There has never been a time when the purpose has been shaken.

But I thought I didn’t want to go back to the beginning. The fact that a new life has been created not only by Gehenna, but also by me, with my own blood, weighs heavily on me beyond imagination. The word father had the power to shake the foundations of my life.

“…….”

I turned my head for no reason and looked back. But Gehenna was still lying on her back. I want to see what kind of face you’re making right now. And if you felt the gaze, you could have turned around. Finally, Henna didn’t look back at me.

When I repeated turning my head and turning it back four times, I suddenly felt that something was unbearable. I ended up opening my mouth one more time. To bring up the words that I’ve endured and endured.

“Gehenna.”

Is he sleeping? He doesn’t respond, let alone answer.

“Do I have to give birth here?”

“…what does that mean?”

Finally, Gehenna reacted. I felt urgent for no reason, but I didn’t stop talking.

“The kid. Don’t you think we don’t have to raise it here? …no, of course, if you like.”

While I was speaking, I thought that I was somehow cowardly. However, since we have brought it up, we need to wrap it up properly.

“…Yeah. Definitely. That wouldn’t be bad either.”

However, as soon as Gehenna responded, her eyes opened wide of their own.

So you’re saying it’s okay? You don’t think Gehenna’s bad, do you?

“Then…!”

“But can you handle it?”

But when I heard a tone of negation, I felt the gradual heightening of the mood subsided back.

“Can you handle it?”

“Yeah, you and I are different from each other in the first place. Unlike you, I am not allowed to live in that world.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“It’s simple. It means you and I have different weights.

“You were summoned to our world back then, right? We can go the same way this time, right?”

“You’re being unreasonable. There’s no way you don’t know what’s wrong with you.”

“But….”

“I can’t stay in the world for long, even if I summon them this time and again. In the end, we’ll just go through the process of being called back and naturally come back to this place.”

“…….”

“Of course, we can have another summons every time. But as I just said, the weight of a single human being and a level ruler is different. It’s very different even though it’s different. I really need an enormous sacrifice to summon me once…I wonder if you and I can continue to make the offering.”

The moment I faced my hesitation, I felt like I was suddenly relieved.

After all… Is it not working?.’

I had a late regret that I had asked for no reason. Of course, in Gehenna’s words, it wasn’t very unusual.

However, it is practically impossible. I heard that even the demons who had recently invaded were forced to move Gehenna to the next level after making such a huge sacrifice.

More than a thousand people have been killed in the human world as well as in the demons. Even if there is a miracle of Ansol, I can’t afford to prepare such a sacrifice every time.

“…I see.”

That’s all I can say after all.

In the meantime, the darkness came down completely and colored the surroundings. At the same time, sudden fatigue overtook the whole body. All I could think about was wanting to sleep like this.

I was finally able to take my eyes off Gehenna’s back and turn completely. Then I slowly closed my eyes on the gradually heavier eyelids. The ground touching the body is unusually cold.

then

“But your deterrence doesn’t sound too bad. I feel rather grateful.”

The dream result comes in like a faint voice. Then, I could feel the sound of moving my body and the warm look of my back. Gehenna finally looked back on me.

But

“…Are you sleeping?”

I didn’t turn around. No. I was no longer confident to face Gehenna. He managed to keep his eyes closed and left himself to the flood.

Because…

“Are you already asleep?.”

If I looked back, I thought I’d be shaken again.

*

next day

After waking up, I, Gehenna, Kim Han-byul, and Behimos moved to the climbing section.

Just because I arrived at the top floor didn’t mean anything special happened. After introducing the famous lantern section, as was the case in any section, Behimos was ordered to prepare for his return using the Illustration Tower. Gehenna acted as if nothing had happened.

…no. Actually, there was only one big change. It was the atmosphere. It wasn’t the same repertoire as always. Bechimos, who had always spoken in a straightforward manner, remained particularly silent today. After the introduction of the famous restaurant, Kim Han-byul disappeared after Behimos himself. Everyone was feeling something different today.

From then on, Gehenna did not show the same appearance. The same was true even when the ceremony was held in the climbing section. Despite the fact that it was the last relationship, it was neither as passionate nor sad as before. On the contrary, Gehenna sometimes looked blank as if she was lost in deep thought.

After all such a clumsy relationship.

“I guess we’re ready by now. Let’s get going.”

I had to feel complicated and subtle to see Jenna pull herself together and stand up.

Of course, that feeling is entirely my own. And I know it’s no reason to blame Gehenna. Gehenna was fulfilling her initial promise without hesitation. Rather, I should be grateful for letting me go without being forced.

But why.

The way I treat myself hasn’t gotten cold, so why am I feeling such a meaningless disappointment at the sight of Henna? Why do they think Gehenna is cold-hearted and heartless?

‘Why, why the hell….’

then

“Now I know a little bit.”

Suddenly, Gehenna’s voice awakened me while feeling devastated by endless questions.

“Did you say it was an old words? The sooner you say goodbye, the better…I didn’t know what you meant when I first heard it, but now I know it.”

The moment I lifted my eyes at the words that followed, I could see. A tower that rises like a sky. While he was lost in thought, he arrived at the center of the lantern section.

“Well, everyone’s waiting. Let’s go, too.”

But without a moment to speak, I was taken to the center of the tower by Gehenna’s hand.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“Hey, are you here?”

As Gehenna said, around the tower, Kim Han-byul and Behimos, carrying a large bag, were waiting for me. I focused my eyes on them without even thinking about looking around.

“Are you all set?”

“Yes. All you have to do is activate. But….”

Bechimos responded with a bow, carefully raising his head and blurting his words.

“But? Is there a problem?”

Gehenna asked back as she saw Bechimos scratching the pitch.

“No, not a problem…But this is the last time I’Wouldn’t you rather say goodbye?”

“I was wondering what you were talking about. Never mind. The sooner the better.”

“What?”

“Didn’t we hold him too long who wants to go? They want to go back as soon as possible…There’s something we promised in the first place, so it’s right to keep it. Anyway, let’s get ready for it.”

And Gehenna looked back at me and smiled.

“You want to do that, don’t you?”

“…Yes.”

What kind of resistance hearing? Although he was a bit late, he accepted it reflexively without realizing it. Still, Gehenna slowly looked around with a smile on her face. Then a moment later, as soon as he took a step back, he opened his mouth and began to chant the spell quietly.

I couldn’t understand the flowing spell, but it became more complicated in my head. In my heart, I still thought I had to go and I thought it would be okay to have a little more.

“Oh, my… ”

Bechimos, who let out a sigh at Henna’s sight, this time cried his voice at me.

“Well, if there’s anything you’d like to say….”

But I shook my head with a shake. It was already complicated and I didn’t feel like talking. Then Bechimos raised his shoulder armour once and made a clashing sound.

“Well, then I’ll do it. Anyway, I’m thankful for both of you in many things. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the feelings of a human being while I was with you and your wife.”

“Wait a minute, my lord.? No, no. Oh, my God. It’s a human feeling?

“Huh? Let’s go to sleep. Let’s not pay attention to the little things at the end. Let’s break up with a smile.”

“It’s not that…!”

It was that moment.

Whoosh!

As soon as Kim Han-byul was about to be heard, a sudden loud sound rang in my ears. And the unexpected flow of mana.

As soon as you turn your eyes, you can see Henna singing the spell with full concentration. All the flowing hair soared into the sky and was fluttering vigorously.

Whoosh!

At that moment, as soon as the eardrum was heard with a grating sound, the tower began to emit a brilliant red hue. Shaking pieces of earth begin to soar into the sky against gravity, and finally, the bodies of me, Kim Han-byeol and Gehenna slowly rise into the air.

Rumbling!

Right after, the sky split. In between, a pitch-black oval hole slowly appeared. It had a shape similar to the hole I had seen just before I went into hell. By saying so, I mean, I’m really close to returning home.

Is it because their existence itself is different? The pace was incomparable to Helena’s time.

“Oh, oh?”

Kim Han-byul grabs me with an uneasy scream. However, it is not surprising as it has been confirmed before.

No. Rather than surprised, my eyes have been fixed on Henna since earlier. With his eyes closed, he kept saying the spell with a serious face all the face of Henna.

I clenched my fist at the sight.

Are we really breaking up like this? You’re going to no avail?’

At first, the speed of the slow climb began to accelerate as if riding an escalator. But the more I did, the more urgent my mind became. For an instant, countless thoughts and severe conflicts crossed my mind.

I want to stay a little longer. Maybe we can stop the summoning ritual now.’

There’s a way to send Kim Hanbyeol first.’

Gehenna says it’s almost impossible, but isn’t there another way? It’s Hallplane, isn’t it?’

Come to think of it, I couldn’t name it. So there’s a little bit more left.’

It was then.

“Whoo….”

As soon as I reached the hole, I suddenly heard Gehenna breathing. Don’t tell me you’ve already ordered.

“For nearly a week….”

When I was at a loss what to do, I opened my eyes gently and spoke to Henna in a subdued voice.

“I was happy to be with you. Maybe it was the happiest time of my life.”

“Gae, Gehenna.”

“How, is there anything you want to say to me? Come to think of it, I think I can afford one word.”

“Uh….”

One word. It was just one word.

“…none?”

But at some point, when Gehenna discovered a grim look on her face. I have experienced a phenomenon in which a conflict-ridden mind instantly turns into a blank sheet. The view turned white and Gehenna faded under the light.

a body floating in the air

A huge flow of mana that grazes the flesh.

a ringing sound in one’s ears

It’s coming slowly, Henna.

All of that is driving me out of my mind.

“Thank you for saving me and giving me happiness. Thanks to you, I can go back to where I belong.

Now that the king is born and the First Corps is resurrected…I should also return to my position as 1st Corps Commander.”

Legion 1? What does this mean?

“Lingering, you’ve been talking for so long story.

At that moment, Gehenna’s face appeared before her eyes and quickly disappeared.

“Anyway, as much as you have given me happiness, may you be happy anywhere.”

It really was a moment in time. However, I felt a strange feeling in my mouth late. Then the view was finally wide open.

“Well, is this really the last time…”.”

In time, the still subdued voice, which is the last, whispers into his ears.

I was only able to come to my senses.

And

‘…Are you sleeping?

Are you asleep already?.’

How, is there anything you want to say to me?’

Is there any?

At that moment.

“Gehenna, wait a minute.!”

The black hole swallowed my body without a chance to talk. It feels like I’m being sucked into somewhere in no time. At that moment, I reached out without realizing it. And the moment you shout out loud and look down.

While moving away at a very rapid pace, I could see for sure. Behimos waving his hands through the slowly closing holes in the sky, and Henna still looking up at me in the air.

I’m sure I’m getting a lot of good ideas from you. There are a lot of things I didn’t think of. Thank you for helping me. 🙂
