“Where are you going?”

Carbon put down the magazine he was reading and looked at Isaac.

He was ready to go out.

“I want to meet someone.”

“Are you meeting anyone?”

“It is not.”

They will leave Earth in a week or so.

I didn't know when I'd be back.

I could die there, and even if I came back alive, I wasn't sure if the Earth's time would be the same.

Park Hyunsoo spent 40 years in space, but only 2 years on Earth.

It was simply that the time of the universe in which he lived was relatively earlier than that of the Earth.

Since this cannot be the case everywhere, there must be some worlds that are going much slower.

If you pass by such a place even for a moment, Earth's time will flow out of control.

That way, even if you return to Earth, you will not see the faces you miss.

‘It doesn’t matter if you don’t look.’

Still, shouldn't you see it at least once?

More than anything.

‘I’ll have to stop by the Master.’

I've never been to Robben's grave.

It wasn't that I didn't want to go.

was just stubborn.

The insistence that I will not seek revenge until I have completed my revenge.

Fortunately, persistence did not end with persistence.

He regretted that he didn't kill the King, but it didn't matter anymore.

“I will go.”

“Yes.”

Carbon picked up the magazine again.

He sips his coffee and refocuses on the fashion magazine.

Armand has been insanely busy.

He was so busy he wanted to throw away his seat now and run away.

However, I couldn't do that because it was clear that if I threw away this place, all the projects in progress would be twisted.

“… … I’m tired and I’m going crazy.”

It was Armand, an S-class hunter, but he went crazy when he hadn't slept for five days.

Awakened or non-awakened, it seems that if you don't sleep, you become weak.

“Let’s finish it quickly.”

What is urgently needed right now is the new city project.

The world tree was a great plant.

It was not called the Tree of God for nothing.

It was just planted, but the vast African continent was filled with vitality.

Even the land that did not allow life was quickly restored to its former form.

Armand was promoting a new town there, and was looking for new settlers.

There are many experts, but the final decision is made by him.

“It sounds like you can build a wall with this kind of paperwork.”

Armand sighed and put down the topmost document with telekinetic power.

He clicks his ballpoint pen and quickly scans the paperwork.

If you're busy today, you should be able to finish about a third of the paperwork.

“Are you very busy?”

At that time, a voice I had not heard in a long time called for Armand.

Armand opened his eyes wide and poked his head to the side of the papers.

“Isaac!”

Isaac naturally approached the sofa and sat down.

He always wore only armor, but he looked different when he wore casual clothes.

“Go if you are busy.”

“I don’t usually say those words while sitting.”

Armand put down his pen and walked towards him.

“What’s going on?”"just. I think I need to see your face at least once.”

“Do you know how to say things like that?”

"what."

Isaac's expression, speaking with a blunt face, was quite a spectacle, Armand thought.

“So how are you today?”

“I practice every day.”

"training?"

"Huh."

There will be a war between the Demon King of Chaos and the existence of the universe.

It was clear that the war would be different from the war on Earth.

Even if I was not lazy day by day and devoted myself to training, there was not enough time.

“The war is over, what kind of training is that? No, it's not bad to practice, can't we take a break?"

For Armand, it had only been a week since the war ended.

He can't rest because he's himself, the location is the location, but the little one can rest as long as he wants.

Still, he was going to receive the highest medals for Isaac and Park Hyunsoo's party.

Because they were the heroes who saved the world.

“I am leaving Earth.”

“… … Eh?"

“Literally. I will leave Earth.”

I was cautioned not to mention the war with the Demon King of Chaos.

But he didn't even tell me not to tell him that he was leaving for space.

Of course, Armand did not understand even that.

“Leaving Earth… … What do you mean?”

“I don’t think it was difficult to say.”

“Gee, are you really leaving Earth?”

“It happened.”

Armand looked at Isaac with a sullen face.

Are you saying that as if you were talking about the list of dinner you had the night before?

“If you leave, you never know when you will come back. So I came to see it.”

“… … Do I really have to leave Earth?”

“It happened.”

“If it’s your choice, I won’t stop you.”

The little boy looked adamant.

Looking at him, he took a deep breath.

“Say hello to Andersen as well.”

“I think so. Because he was once my teacher.”

He taught him common sense.

Of course, Andersen himself is a person far from common sense.

She wasn't on good terms.

No, he himself hated Andersen unilaterally.

At that time, the blunt and cold person was a little scared.

how are you now

Little smiled and got up from his seat.

“I hope to see you again someday.”

“Don’t talk like someone who is going to break up forever.”

"then."

“Oh, are you going to stop by him too?”

If it was a 'boy', there was only one person.

The little boy smiled faintly and nodded his head.

After he left, Armand slumped back on the sofa and grinned.

It seemed old, but the memories of the not-so-distant days came to mind.

* * *

Andersen was in the midst of experimenting.

After the war, the remaining military spaceships were full of new things.

Although ruined by excessive bombardment and colliding with Park Hyunsoo's (actually Sally's) spacecraft, that alone gave civilization a stepping stone to advance.

Thanks to this, Andersen, like Armand, could not rest even after the war was over.

To be honest, unlike Andersen, I was really enjoying this one.

“It is a substance that does not exist on Earth.”

“Hey.”

When his subordinate researchers showed him a blue fluorescent substance, Andersen became a curious face.

It's been a week and there's still something new.

He must have been insanely enjoyable for a scientist.

At that time, a new biosignal was sensed in the force field he spread throughout the laboratory.

no.

Although it was the first time for the institute, it was a biological signal that Andersen was quite familiar with.

"for a bit."

Andersen apologized to his subordinate researchers and left the lab.

At the entrance stood a familiar but unfamiliar man.

“Long time no see.”

"A long time."

Isaac and Andersen stared at each other for a few seconds with blunt faces.

The two never met in person during the war.

Andersen was a ground force, and Isaac penetrated directly inside via spacecraft.

He couldn't even remember the last time we met.

“What did you come here for?”

Andersen asked, putting his hand in the pocket of his robe.

Unless it's urgent, he seemed to be telling me to go back.

The little boy smirked.

Years later, Andersen was Andersen.

After all, she doesn't get along with this guy.

“I came here to see your face one last time before we left.”

“Are you leaving?”

“I will leave Earth in a week.”

"is it."

Andersen nodded his head indifferently.

He had a completely different reaction from Armand, but it seemed rather creepy if he reacted like Armand.

“Go away.”

With nothing more to say, Isaac quickly turned around.

It was then.

An unexpected word was heard.

“Goodbye.”

Isaac glanced back.

Andersen had already turned his body and entered the laboratory.

have a good trip

"haha. Come on.”

please.

i wish i did too

The little boy smiled and headed towards his final destination.

* * *

It was a small cemetery that was neatly weeded.

The ten tombstones were kept clean until recently.

The surname Odman was in common on the tombstones.

It was a small cemetery for the Odman family.

Isaac stood in front of the cleanest tombstone in the corner.

It was written Robben Odman.

“It’s been a while, Master.”

The little boy knelt down on one of his knees and put the flower arrangement in front of him.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come until now.”

Three years have passed.

There were several opportunities to go along the way.

just didn't go

Isaac looked at the monument and sat comfortably on the grass.

“It has become peaceful.”

The stiff tone of voice gradually loosened.

“I also defeated the King. His men were powerful, but somehow they managed to see the end.”

Old memories became memories.“Once upon a time, remember? When you first brought me here.”

At that time, the little boy was an orphan.

They weren't just orphans, they were just a bunch of troublemakers.

He was an unanswered kid who only caused trouble in the neighborhood and only steals.

It was none other than Robben who saved him.

“At first, I hated it because it felt like a life of oppression.”

There is hardly any age difference between then and now, but at that time, I was mentally immature, so I struggled every day.

Robben scolded himself for such a thing, or even gave him a grudge.

He was like a father.

He was an ugly child to him.

“… … I miss you.”

Tears slowly flowed from Isaac's eyes, as if his emotions had been erased.

miss the past.

It's not peaceful, but it was the happiest time for me.

"I'm really sorry… … . I'm really late... … I'm so sorry."

Isaac did not wipe the tears that were flowing nonstop.

He just leaned against his fence, put his knees together, looked at the tombstone and wept and wept.

Robben Odman.

His own father no longer exists in the world.

What he knew was that he became more aware of his coming here, and he lost control of his emotions.

'Okay.'

Isaac's head twitched.

‘It’s all right.’

a faint voice.

Is it hallucinations?

‘Be happy, Isaac.’

"father! father!!"

The little boy stretched out his arms to catch the scattered voice, but nothing caught on.

"father… … .”

that day.

Isaac became independent from the invisible fence.

Carbon was looking at the scenery outside the spaceship with his legs crossed.

The floating clouds were so cute.

Of course, it was impossible for Carbon to have such a cute sentiment.

They just stare blankly at the sky.

He had no one to meet with him, no one to wait for.

“I am very sad.”

Sally was always there when she was like this.

Where the hell is she shooting a guy who has no reason to go out like herself?

He wondered for a moment, but the curiosity didn't last long.

No matter how boring she was, playing with her was crazy.

Her ass won't go away.

‘Crazy Bunny Guy.’

It was when Carbon shook his head.

Weigh-!

I heard the door open.

I was already bored, so I ran out of the entrance faster than anyone else.

"who are you?!"

"grow."

Isaac returned to the spaceship with a blank face.

He sighed as he made sure that Carbon wasn't the kind of person who could ease his boredom.

“Was it you? You came quickly.”

“Well, yes.”

Isaac tumbled back to his room.

I don't know for some reason, but his mood seemed down a lot.

Carbon shrugged his shoulders and headed back to his cockpit.

Just looking at the sky was the most fun.
