MEMORIZE

Bao's barrage of questions, which began after the meal, barely stopped until the sun rose. Erwin, who barely escaped, left the log house and strolled through the fairy's forest center. Perhaps because of the clear weather, many young fairies are running around recording the warm sunlight of the light green. It was a peaceful landscape.

"Oh."

At that time, stepping on the fine grass like green velvet stopped. Then, a moment later, Erwin, who was standing still, collapses. It was okay when I woke up in the morning, but ARMY is laughing so hard to see if there was a sudden pain. Soon after, he put his hand on his left chest and said, "Whoo, whoo."

“…….”

Did it calm down a little after inhaling the fresh air? Erwin, who had been lowering his head for a while, suddenly threw up his breath and lay down in the bushes. The face that looks at the clear sky is shaded by the depth of the water that cannot be hidden. The right hand is still on the left chest.

Suddenly, the memory of the day when the heartache began crossed my mind. More precisely, it was the memory of the first encounter with Thanatos, unsealing the remains.

Erwin was most opposed to the lifting of the seal at that time, although he was contacted immediately upon returning to Ragnarok and immediately left for the fairy's Forest. I don't even know why. It was just a feeling, groundless. I just felt a sense of anxiety ahead of the stone gate.

However, the feeling grew exponentially with pain over time. At worst, there were days when the stone gate opened and the memory of the time was reenacted as a terrible nightmare. It felt as if something was slowly being squeezed out of sight.

'Why, why...'

I asked myself constantly, pressing down on my heart, but if there was an answer, it would have come out sooner.

Feeling as if wandering through an exitless maze, Erwin gently closed his eyes. Then, he quietly left himself to the cool breeze that brought him in. Thinking I'd wake up before the afternoon.

*

How long has it been?

Feeling a little more relaxed, Erwin opened his eyes slightly. And when I found a color of red that spread slowly like a paint burned in the water with a dim view, my eyes flared up. I fell asleep deeper than I thought, but it wasn't necessarily because of it.

A pair of light green eyes, which contrasted with the red-colored color of the sky, were staring down directly from above.

"You're up now. My old friend."

As soon as he heard a sweet voice, Erwin hurriedly rose and straightened his posture. He tried to kneel on one knee in time.

"It's okay. Take it easy."

He stopped moving at a tone that sounded as if he were eager to do so. The silver-haired fairy, sitting with both knees together, smiled at Erwin. Erwin managed to open his mouth.

"Mr. Nimue."

"How are you? Are you feeling well?"

Erwin closed his mouth. Of course I wanted to say it's okay, but then I'm going to lie. When Erwin turned his eyes in a daze, he looked worried about Nimue's face.

A fairy. A child born as a fairy finds his or her own role while growing up until awakening, and when he or she becomes an adult, his or her affiliation changes depending on the role. Belonging is an organization that fulfills its role in combat, reconnaissance, assassination, support, guardian, life. It is divided into six groups, and the fairy who heads each group is given the title "Hi."

Furthermore, one fairy in charge of the six groups and one fairy who professionally protects this fairy. And there is an elder who represents the queen, who is now vacant.

This is the current system of the clan leading the fairy forest, and the fairy in front of Erwin was Hai, Nimue, who was tasked with organizing the group.

"Oh, my God. I can't find the cause of the disease.You didn't want to come back home that bad?”

"Nee, Nimue."

As Erwin glanced slightly, Nimue smiled and turned away. Then he sighed deeply.

"I came out for a while because I felt so tight. But I just found Erwin asleep."

"My heart is aching...Do you have any concerns?"

"It's a bad habit to know and ask. Erwin."

"…Ah."

Speaking in a peevish way, Erwin had a prickly look on his face. Nimue once again breathed a long breath.

"It's something I haven't experienced in almost a hundred years to live with such worries every day. Even more than when Erwin was forced to go into the human world..”

"You don't want to sit in the queen's seat?"

Erwin finally asked a key question.

"The elder, he's worried."

Nimu said bitterly.

"For us, it is certainly a pleasure that the Arkonne Orcs are destroyed. However, I feel more wary of the human potential that actually achieved it."

"Human beings must be allies with us. But why so."

"Yes, it's an alliance. close to impenetrable to accuracy Of course, the elder has no intention of breaking this alliance, of antagonizing humans.”

"Then…."

"However, you're afraid of humans being rented out day by day. Maybe he's wary of subjugation in some way."

“…….”

Suddenly, a smirk and a weak smile flowed.

"Well, that's probably why I'm bringing it up again. Now we need a leader more than ever.”

As soon as I finished speaking, a quiet silence flowed for a moment.

"…sometimes I have a similar dream."

That's a little out of the blue. The sound of words came out quietly. But Erwin calmly asked back, as his opponent was.

"Dream? What kind of dream is it?”

"It's a little funny, but...In my dream, I'm looking at a little kid on a white horse, a yellow mass. Oh, I saw your face. Pretty yet noble silver hair, looks like Margarita as a child."

"What?"

"So it's like looking at Margarita's baby."

Nimue, who said so, smiled gently. Erwin, who had briefly shone a startled light, smiled and gently sat next to Nimue. Like you want to hear more.

"When I look back on my dreams, I think the child was very happy. I'm surrounded by someone and I'm always smiling. I feel happy when I see that smile."

"And?"

"I, I approach the child. Slowly, very slowly. And put the crown of thorns in his hands on his little head."

"Hu-hoo. It makes me feel good just to hear it."

Erwin's eyes sparkled.

"Oh, maybe it's a precognitive dream. For example, Nimue finds Margarita's child....”

"I don't think so."

It was then.

"…but, there."

Suddenly, Nimue's voice became even lower.

"I put a spiny coffin on it, and I look back with joy..”

a sudden spurt of speech

Erwin, who turned around thoughtlessly,

“!”

At the moment, it was a great cry.

Nimue's eyes, which had been shining light green a little while ago, turned achromatic at some point and stared at him. Erwin blinked reflexively and shook his head quickly.

And on second glance, Nimue was opening and closing his mouth as if he were about to say something.

"When I look back..."

But in the end, he was speechless, and he stood up calmly.

"Erwin."

The eyes of two fairies intertwined in the air. A moment of silence, but silence didn't last long.

"Just promise me one thing."

Without any indication, Nimue's words burst like a flood.

"The will of the elder is firm. Of course, the same goes for other HIghs. Sooner or later, a new queen selection will be officially announced. It's hard for me to say no more."

"Yes, I know. There are a lot of people who are very happy. And I feel the need to stay still."

As Erwin clenched his mouth with a blank face, Nimue said all of these words at great speed. Without giving me a chance to answer.

"I."

Suddenly, in a serious mood, Erwin tried to get up quickly. At that moment, however, Nimue reached out his hands and pressed his shoulders.

Although the power was a gentle touch that didn't fit a fingernail, the act contained a mysterious magic that could not dare to resist. Eventually, he sat in a tangled bush.

"I mean, I promise right now. My old friend, my own sword."

My thin body trembles at the soft voice whispering in my ear.

"No matter what choice I make, Erwinman will trust me and help me, right?”

"Yes, yes."

"No matter what happens to me, no matter what happens to me?"

"He, of course. It's always a matter of course.

Erwin nodded wildly.

"Really, really?"

Soon after the third time the same question followed, Erwin finally realized it was strange. There is also a huge difference from Nimue's usual words and actions, and above all, the content of the dream that was cut off in the middle of the day started to bother me.

But Erwin had no choice but to keep fainting. At least for now.

"…yes."

After being promised so many times, Nimu carried unexpected breaths and sorrows. He stared at Erwin for a moment, smiled sadly for some reason, and turned away. And as if it were hard to stay here, the silver-haired fairy quickly disappeared through the forest.

Erwin, who had been looking in the direction where Nimue disappeared for a long time, tilted his head, feeling almost possessed.

Suddenly, the sunset sky reached its peak, casting a deep purple over the fairy's forest. Rather than just beautiful, it was a color that I thought was hideous. It was that moment.

“…….”

As soon as I thought it was ominous for some reason, Eldora's thoughts crossed Erwin's mind for no reason.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Bang!

"What?"

In Ragnarok, the Blue Palace, an untimely old castle was ringing in the hall.
