chapter 138
138 – Arcsius – 3
Aksius wiped away his tears and looked at Deron.
Even after hearing his confession, he just stood there without saying a word.
“… ….”
That silence made Aksi suffocate.
It would have been better if I had let go of my anger. If that were the case, it wouldn’t have been so stuffy.
I remember how to enter the rare, but I cannot remember the faces of the residents.
Since I first came here and saw the broken statue of the goddess, I tried hard to remember even one of their faces, but I couldn’t remember a single one.
Because of that, Aksi was anxious.
As if the villagers I had formed a relationship with had disappeared from my memory.
I am afraid that Deron will also be forgotten like that.
He was afraid that everything he had lived with would be dismissed as mere play and fall apart.
‘Yes.’
She was afraid of forgetting.
A curse possessed by dragons that live a particularly long life among long-lived species.
I was afraid that the curse would eventually take away my precious person, and I was afraid that it would split my relationship with Dereon.
However, that is why Aksi told the truth.
I was afraid of breaking up the relationship, but that didn’t mean I wanted to hide this fact from him.
Even if he was disappointed in her, she clearly expressed her shortcomings.
And now, I am waiting for his answer.
“I am not your entertainment.”
And Deron gave an answer that she could not have predicted, and that was truly his own.
With a unique, lucky smile.
“I won’t forget you, and I won’t give you what you want.”
“If it was up to you… !”
“Is there anything that hasn’t gone your way so far?”
It was truly an arrogant statement, but Aksi could not refute it.
After Der On ate her inner dan, she was an Aksi who had been watching his life inside her body, so she could not refute it.
He overcame the time limit his body had, and smoothly handled the dragon’s mana. He killed the demon king who wanted to rob him of his body.
And, he has reached an unprecedented level that has never been heard of before.
Because he was Deron, he had the right to say such things.
“Even if I face failure, I will achieve everything I want. “It has always been that way, and it will always be that way.”
While saying that, Deron took a step forward.
Surprised by his movement, Akshi unconsciously moved his body backwards.
“So. “I will not be forgotten.”
Der On’s hand catches Aksi as she pulls her body back.
As if telling you not to leave somewhere. He naturally sat down and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Akshi opened his eyes round. I can clearly feel Deron’s fingers.
I traced his neck with my fingers and put a pillow on his knee. Although she was the one who even kissed her. She wasn’t as embarrassed as she was now.
The reason is unknown. She couldn’t get a word out and just mumbled.
Looking down at her like that, Der On smiled.
“Are you planning to leave? Or, what did you want me to say?”
Aksi frowned. He is truly an unlucky bastard. That’s what she thought.
Penetrating her own thoughts, she goes one step further. After she clearly figured out what she wanted. She intentionally lets her partner know that she is aware of it.
In that way, encourage the other person to say that themselves.
Aksi had seen Der On do it many times, but he couldn’t escape it.
Tuk.
Realizing that he too had been victimized by Der On, Aksi pushed him away and backed away.
Then he spoke bluntly.
“You are such a bad bastard. Know?”
“Of course I know.”
“You talk as if you know everything. If you notice, you might be able to look at it a little bit. They don’t even care and they always just eat to win….”
Aksi continued to curse at Deron after that. A cheap guy. He’s unlucky, but he only has a useless face. A child who believes in talent and acts like a fool.
Once I started speaking, it came out without any filtering, as if something had burst out of my chest.
“When I first saw it, it was a dying baby, but when did it grow to this size?”
Akshi clenched his fists. The eyebrows rose fiercely.
Deron just smiled and quietly listened to Aksi’s words.
As if she was waiting for her last words to say.
Aksi spat out his insults against Der On one after another, until he stopped, took a deep breath, and then let it out.
“And yet… !”
Akshi blushed and lowered his head. To avoid Deron’s gaze.
He maintains that state and speaks in a crawling voice.
“I don’t want to forget you.”
A statement that overshadowed her complaints that she had been making so far, saying that she would remember herself by freeing herself from the inevitable curse that her dragon harbored.
After hearing her words, Der On smiled slightly.
Such a depressed look does not suit Aksi.
Her charm comes from her confidence. Even if she did something wrong, she doesn’t give up, but rather has the audacity to rush at him. That was Aksi’s charm.
… That’s what I thought.
Der On modified her own thoughts. After seeing the dragon in front of her, she admitted that she had been wrong.
It wasn’t that it didn’t fit, it was just awkward. The silk dress and the gentle smile. Aksi looking so embarrassed.
They all suited her. So much so that it’s hard to find anything that doesn’t suit her.
“Aksi.”
“Why?”
“Aksi.”
“Why are you calling me….”
“Acsius.”
“Why are you calling me?”
At her repeated calls, Aksi became upset and raised her head.
Just in time, Der On pushes his face into her.
“I like you.”
A distance that feels like it can be reached at any moment, but is vaguely unreachable.
A top-notch body and the innate sense that Deron originally possesses. In addition, he has eyes that can predict Aksi’s movements.
All of that is accomplished, narrowing the distance.
“Uh, uh. Uh?”
Aksi tried to turn her head with a look of embarrassment on her face.
The reason she received her confession was because only Dereon’s shameful face was in her eyes. Even meeting his eyes wasn’t easy for her now.
However, there is no way Deron would allow that.
The reason we narrowed the distance like this in the first place was to get a clear answer.
Giving the opponent a chance to recover is not what Deron wants.
He raised the energy of his whole body. As soon as the Sword Master’s body was ready to move, Deron immediately took a step forward.
While not touching Aksi’s body, he maintained his distance from her.
Move as she turns her head.
Every time Akshi turned his head, he had to do this crazy thing of moving several steps, but it wasn’t that difficult for Deron.
Compared to what he had done, and to get an answer from Aksi, he was confident that he could do even more than this.
“Are you really crazy?”
Aksi, who had been turning his head here and there to avoid Der On, looked at him with an expression that seemed genuinely fed up.
“Is there really no place to use your body?”
“Well. “I don’t think this is something someone who uses short-distance teleportation to hit someone on the head would say.”
Der On, who leisurely returned Aksy’s words, grinned and kicked his foot on the floor.
“So, what are you going to do? “I think I can add at least another five hours.”
These are not empty words. Five hours was also a time Deron shortened in his own way. Considering the condition of his body that he has been dealing with so far, he can easily last a day. It’s just a matter of patience.
However, Deron did not necessarily worry about that fact.
Because….
“I lost, I lost.”
The reason I lacked patience was because it was Aksi’s story.
Der On asked as he looked at Aksi raising his hands.
“Then are you accepting it?”
“… ….”
After hearing Deron’s words, Aksi seemed to think for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“I warned you a little while ago, but I….”
“Ha…. Aksi.”
Deron sighed. The fact that he didn’t come in despite doing all this meant that fear was deep within Aksi’s heart.
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. She must have loved the villagers who built her this temple and occasionally offered her offerings.
You probably didn’t want to easily accept the fact that you forgot them.
However, that kind of appearance does not suit Aksi.
At least the Aksi he remembers was a woman who always lived proudly.
She received a lot of help from her confidence. When he was pushed to the edge mentally, it was none other than Aksi who was the first to offer her hand.
Because Aksi was like that, seeing her like that right now was very awkward.
‘Like in Agnes’ time…. ‘It won’t work.’
Agnes simply had a fear of her own state.
Therefore, Deron was able to solve the problem by suggesting a path that he knew….
She had a slightly more primal fear.
The curse of oblivion that Yongjong possesses.
That was something that couldn’t be easily solved, no matter how much Deron he was.
Of course, half of the dragon’s blood flows through his body, but he hasn’t worried about oblivion yet.
‘Wait.’
If forgetting is something that cannot be solved simply because it cannot be experienced.
Isn’t there someone who has already experienced oblivion and entered into a marriage for fun?
“Aksi.”
“Uh.”
“If the problem is simply forgetting me, shouldn’t we ask those who have already gone before us for a solution?”
“If that’s possible. But as far as I know, such a dragon….”
Akshi stopped talking and opened her eyes round.
It seems like she also came to mind. Half of the blood flowing through Deron’s body. Its owner.
“Let’s go meet her mother.”
I also met my father.
