chapter 199
199. Truth (1)
“… … Zeke, once you have passed the dangerous hurdle… … .”
Lily let out a weary sigh and turned her head to look at Zeke.
Lily’s hand, which was holding a handful of faded mana stones, was shaking.
Her hair was drenched in sweat, and she could guess how much effort she had to make to save Rosnante.
Originally, it was impossible with Lily’s body now, but it was only possible because Zeke helped her from passing out.
“After overloading his body, he did something else… … . But I can no longer see any remnants or remnants of dark magic… … . However, for the time being, you shouldn’t do too much activity. Your vitality is very weak. If you train your body now, it can lead to permanent physical decline.”
Zeke quietly looked at Rosnante before opening his mouth.
“… … He said that Rosnante was the price to pay for breaking the odds. You may have experienced that before. I call it coercion, but… … .”
“yes… … . How Rosnante overcame that… … . It is when a character in a story tries to escape the role given to him… … . uh!?”
Lily’s eyes widened as she responded to Zeke’s words.
Surely, wasn’t it forbidden to send out anything related to the story out of your mouth?
But for some reason, Lily couldn’t feel any resistance to moving her mouth.
‘no way… … . 3 Because the prince died?’
It seems that the coercive force disappeared at the same time as he died, which was set up to match the causal rate of the story.
Although Lily’s restraints that bound her were unexpectedly released, her crumpled face showed no sign of being straightened.
“Why?”
Feeling suspicious about him, Zeke asked.
“As expected, Zeke, maybe I shouldn’t have let you kill the 3rd prince… … .”
With the return and the appearance of Zeke, a singularity, the story was ruined from the beginning.
However, Lily thought that she, the main character of the story, had to finish the ending with her own hands.
Because that was the end of this story.
Lily’s swordsmanship was pointed out by ‘Voice from the Sky’ in a story she had previously created.
I had once experienced what happened in return.
it’s a regression.
Will the story go back the same way this time?
Lily wasn’t sure.
Things have turned out much better than originally planned.
Personally, I was satisfied enough to wonder if there would be more development than this.
It was because the restrictions on my actions had weakened, and I no longer had to witness the deaths of my friends.
However, the position of the ‘voices from the sky’ was different.
Those who always told me that they had read well, and those who said that it was a good story and gave unusual encouragement by saying ‘gunpil’ were disappearing one by one.
It was unavoidable because the more Zeke was active, the more the original contents of the Note’s story disappeared.
So Lily survives in the North with the penalty of being weak and blonde.
And gradually, the persecuted gongnyeo went beyond the family and endured the story instead of the original story through the process of being reborn as a true gongnyeo in the entire northern part of the country.
However, with the appearance of the 3rd prince, it came to a point where it could no longer endure.
The original’s final villain, Licht. I had to put an end to him with my own hands to bring this story to a clean end.
‘That’s why I somehow got into Ramielli Academy… … .’
Fortunately, there was no significant change in the world line yet, but a vague sense of uneasiness welled up in Lily’s heart.
What more could he do in this precarious world that could be broken at any time?
What if, when they regress again, what if the children become villains like before?
What if Zeke disappears and only the master bard remains?
What if your body becomes much weaker than before and you cannot even move?
What if the regression is repeated and repeated infinitely?
Lily’s head, which never hopes for a return in a situation that worked out as it is now, has been complicated by many negative assumptions.
At that time, Zeke, who was making a puzzled expression, caught my eye.
It seems strange that he suddenly shut his mouth.
‘… … Just, as long as it happened like this. I think I’d better tell Zeke everything.’
At a time like this, Zeke’s existence was like a ray of light.
Lily’s golden eyes were clearly focused on Zeke.
“Zeke, I’ll tell you everything now. After you left the Dave Continent for Earth. what happened… … .”
*
Lily suddenly made a serious face and started talking about the past.
Zeke’s eyes fluttered in disarray.
It was embarrassing that Iriel, Soi, and Yuri were the villains in the original work.
It was also absurd that Serena was the first death that would have happened before the work began.
And originally, he was Iriel’s servant, but in the end, he couldn’t stand her temper and fell in love with the true and beautiful Lily and became her escort.
At that time, the words, “Where did my conscience go?” filled my throat.
yes, more than that.
‘… … So, fuck. What I commented on… … . So, the saintess accepted it as the voice of a god… … . I was angry at the swordsmanship point, so I wrote a big comment. I. Has it reached this point?’
Zeke, who couldn’t say anything, was making an absurd expression while giggling like a crucian carp.
Lily nodded her head in understanding.
“Yes, how foolish you must be. How absurd this story may sound… … . I understand. You didn’t do anything wrong, but you were called back here after saving the Dave continent and living in peace… … . It’s probably because I put your name in the story. Really sorry.”
Lily bowed her head towards Zeke as if she were genuinely sorry.
“… … It’s okay, it’s okay.”
“no. Really sorry. Think of someone who will protect me then. only you came to mind I really didn’t know things would turn out like this. No, not knowing is an excuse… … . It might just be that I wanted you to protect me again in the middle of the day. That wish was granted by the master’s note… … .”
“… … .”
Lily’s repeated apologies pricked Zeke’s conscience.
“By the way, if I had to make a little more excuse… … . Before the return, you were just a character. But this is it. that god… … . after-”
Since it was a serious story that brought out everything from the past, Lily’s voice, which had been speaking in a calm tone from beginning to end, was gradually getting louder.
“Really, don’t you find it absurd to hear? Honestly, ha. no. Fuck! I’m mad just thinking about it again. What!? What’s the fucking swordsmanship?”
“Yeah, yes.”
Lily recalled that voice then, and now she didn’t hesitate to swear.
It was a voice from a long time ago, but not a single word was forgotten and it still remained as a clear memory in my head.
“Hey, Zeke. lets think. It’s honestly been 10 years since I’ve seen your swordsmanship. 10 years! I just saw it and copied it and described it! under! I’m really dumbfounded! What!? That kind of nonsense no, no matter how much God is, isn’t he really supposed to do that to me!?”
“Stop, saintess. Calm down.”
“No, fuck. Do I look real? Oh mad! I’m a real freak! I said that it could be done, but it is nonsense. Oh what else did you say? Isn’t the human body built that way? Really pretending to be calm all the time and scratching gently made me wonder how God could be so naive!”
“Ch-chi-sol… … .”
“yes! Don’t be mean then! If you do that well, why don’t you come and save Dave’s continent? Isn’t it really funny to say something without even trying it?”
‘Is that a saint?’
Lily, who says she will buy a churro, erupts in anger like a cat that has been neutered.
Dry saliva flowed down Zeke’s throat.
‘That, Dave Continent… … . I mean. I saved you, but… … ? So how about doing it in moderation… … .’
Zeke held her back with his earnest wishes.
Lily’s gossip about God had only just begun.
“If you are good at using knives, come here and teach the kids too! Catch the Demon King! Catch all 3 princes! You can eat it all up! Seriously, a young mortal might even talk about what he saw! Become a great god What kind of childish thing is that!”
‘… … That, I’m teaching the kids, I’ve caught the demon king, and I’ve caught all the 3 princes… … ?’
However, Zeke only kept his lips open.
“… … Ha, to be honest, the reason I even said these things because I was like a saint. I didn’t want to do it because it’s blasphemy? But, you know what? that god Shin Myung-do is also a frog. Sometimes there are people who use unusual names. That god is real.”
“… … What.”
Zeke asked, just in case.
It could have been someone else who commented exactly the same as you.
However, in the words that followed, Zeke had no choice but to admit that it was himself.
“It’s the supreme swordsman. Jijon-chan Swordsman. Ha, really. It was the first time I knew there was such a god in the world. isn’t it zeke? Even if you look at it, you really have no sense, right?”
Fuuk-
‘Cheuk.’
The sharp words of the saintess were pinpointed into Zeke’s heart.
In the meantime, he was living in Ropan and was good at maintaining a poker face, but
There was nothing he could do about his own dark history coming out of the saintess’ mouth in real time.
However, even as Zeke, there were plenty of things he wanted to make excuses for.
‘Shiba. no. That’s the nickname Dave made before he was taken to the continent! Even in the second year of middle school! Even if you know the history of middle school 2, it is the right thing to just close your eyes. It’s a saint… … .’
Even after I made that nickname, I didn’t even read the novel because I was immersed in the game.
And when Dave went to the continent to get it, he didn’t even comment on it, so he forgot what his nickname was.
Until I heard it through the mouth of the saintess again.
However, when I heard that nickname, a new memory came to my mind.
“… … I wonder if that god was once full of blood, saintess. Don’t you think I’m talking too much… … .”
“under! What’s so bad? I can speak in 5700 words like that god, but I’m putting up with it because it’s blasphemy! But Zeke, are you siding with that god now?”
“… … Oh no. That god was wrong. yes. Right.”
“And with the 3rd prince already in your hand, this story is ruined. If I say one or two more words like this here, what’s the difference? Besides, they call childish things childish. what does it say? It’s even tacky there. Seriously, just looking at it, he must be a god whose relationship with other gods has been ruined because of his sword.”
“… … I’m really sorry… … .”
An apology leaked out of Zeke’s mouth in a low voice.
In the end, I had no choice but to raise the white flag to the saintess who was cowardly beating me up with facts.
Lily gave a puzzled look to Zeke, who suddenly handed her an apology.
“yes? Zeke? why are you apologizing It was the god who was wrong. not you I’m only sorry for you I was forcibly taken from the Dave Continent and went through that hardship… … . And from here… … . Oh, is it because you caught the 3rd prince and the story was ruined?”
“That, not that… … .”
“No, that’s fine. If I had met him without knowing that he had a bard attached to him, I would have died. yeah, that’s unavoidable It’s just that this is all because of that god who has such a childish name, is passionate about mere mortals, and doesn’t even deserve his godhood.”
“… … me, all me… … . I’m sorry for everything. So please stop… … .”
Zeke had no choice but to bow his head in front of Lily.
