238 Epilogue 3 Of Boyhood

? ? ?

The day Ain left it was just a festival. The men and knights of the castle likewise celebrate greatly the return of Ain.

By the way, there are those who were overjoyed by Ain's return. Yes, Olivia.

She wept so much in joy that she couldn't stop just hugging Ain, but did enough to keep her roots out and wrap them around.

On that night, everyone will be celebrating their return, and a dinner will be held at the Grand Hall to exchange ministers.

After dinner, in addition to the Ishtarika royal family, he called key men such as the Greyshire family, Lili and the Bahra sisters.

Ain after late at night blossomed in Olivia's bedroom for a crown exchange.

- And the next morning.

She (...) is about to wake up when she senses Ein has returned...

"Mother... is it something that requires so much discernment...?

"Hehe. Naturally, it's my precious Ain, so let's go to her in the coolest way."

Olivia takes care of his hair as she approaches Ain to keep her body close together.

"If you say so, there's an objection..."

The place is Ain's room. Speaking of time, around 8: 00 in the morning, Ain was enjoying his first long life in his own room.

But Martha contacted me that she was going to wake up and Olivia was happily getting Ain's hair done.

"- Is that it? Speaking of which, Ain't no world tree yet...... what?

"Hmm. What do you think?

"That's right! Let's check the card, shall we?

"Card......? Oh! You mean the status?

Olivia laughed at what Ain had guessed.

Ain then stood up and headed to his desk,

"It's definitely like I was putting it around here... - There was"

Lightly grabbing the desired card, Ain returns right next to Olivia.

"... oh"

Look at the cards with Olivia. Then it was written there:

Ein von Ishtalika

[JOB] World tree of bulimia, king of demon stones

[Race] World Tree

[Level] -

[Health] 9999?

[Magic] 9999?

[Attack] - alpha

[DEF] - ?

[Agility] - alpha

[Skills] World tree of bulimia, enchanting poison, curse of solitude

"Yeah, yeah. Ein was still a world tree."

(Ein, the Demon King, has become a world tree of bulimia... I'm not a complete person...... and I'm like the King of Demon Stones...)

I wanted to be a person, but I no longer get that wish.

Is Olivia looking pretty happy because she's still a dry adder?

(I guess alpha means if you absorb it like I did when I ran off, you can put it up...)

"Oh... you're getting more and more attractive, Ain't"

"... Oh, thank you"

Olivia - I don't know what dry ad women find attractive, but I guess the term World Tree is so influential.

She strokes Ain's head with heartfelt joy.

"But your skills are somehow integrated into the bulimic world tree... this"

"A world tree of bulimia is a skill used by beings. In it, you got a dark knight or something put together.... but the two after this could be"

"- Skills gained from Anon, I think,"

I don't feel so refreshed at the end with Anon. Anyway, because at that time, the bulimic world tree was blindfolded, taking away half Ain's consciousness.

"... so this is the substitute for Archet."

"It's so complicated that it's in me..."

"I'm not even talking about blades all being bad guys because they can hurt people...... So you shouldn't mind Ein so much either."

Then, I feel Ain't got a hard time with complicated emotions and Olivia softly holds Ain from behind.

It was Ain, whose mood had dropped all at once, but thanks to Olivia he regained some calm.

"You can't look like this when you're going to visit."

"... sorry. I'll look at the cards. What did you say?"

"It's not your mother's fault. Because it's what I did."

Ain't got it, and when he squeals and gets in the mood, he gets up and looks at Olivia better.

"- What do you say? Um, is it cool to come together?

Feeling roughly finished, Ain asks Olivia for her opinion.

Then she smiled exactly like the Virgin,

"Ain't always nice. But it could be nicer today.... Come on, let's go to that kid. If Ain't gone, he might wake up soon."

"Haha...... thank you. Mother! Well, then, I'm coming!

? ? ?

Turning to her room, Krone and Martha stood in front of the door.

"I'm sorry. I'm late for being close to you."

"... oh, Ain. You look so handsome."

"Really? I guess you'd be relieved to say that - Mr. Martha, is it okay to come in?

"Of course it is. Bye."

That said, Martha opens the door.

"Me and Master Krone will be waiting here, please, Master Ain't inside"

"... Huh? Is it just me?

"Look. Just go. I'm sure you'll be waiting for Ain.

"- Okay, so don't push so hard..."

Krone forcefully pushes Ain, who was lost, into the room, confirming it and Martha closes the door.

"... okay? Dear Krone,"

"Mr. Martha. Is that okay, what is it?

"It has been decided. It means that even if we leave Ein alone..."

"To be honest, I don't feel good about you two. It's just that she's the woman who put her life in Ain before me..."

Then Krone looks at Martha with a bitter laugh, even though she feels complicated.

"When it comes to life... the other day when Master Archet?

"Yeah, that's right. So, her thoughts are very different from mine - then I can't let them get in the way."

"... you're sweet"

"- Heh heh. But... I'll give it to you only today. If she wants more than that, it's all a big deal."

Krone's expression changes from time to time today.

Because if you think it seemed complicated until just now, at some point you laugh with pleasure and divulge your upbeat voice.

"By the way, what's the big deal?

"It's already... everything."

? ? ?

On the other hand, Ain, pushed inside, looks at the freshly closed door and takes a few deep breaths to feel better.

"... Yikes!

I'm not manly over this period. Get rid of thinking that way, Ain't approaching the big bed placed in the back.

Sitting in a small chair placed next to her, she speaks to her, leaking a regular sleep.

"- Chris. I'm home."

……

But Chris still doesn't seem to wake up from sleep and just reacts his ears to Ain's voice in a picky fashion.

"What's that? React only to your ears... be clever enough."

Ein laughed pleasantly as to whether the move was interesting.

Then again, Chris' ears move a little bit and react to Ain's voice.

"... I heard that. That you risked your life to summon Mr. Archet."

Chris resurrected Archet the other day by poking a demonic stone in Rapier.

I risk my life for my precious Ein...... I hear those facts and Ein, along with his deep gratitude, makes me feel sorry for something I can't help.

"Not at all... even during the rituals and doings I did between glances, but Chris runs quite a bit too, doesn't he? - Well, so am I."

Ain't shrugging like this, gently avoiding the hair on Chris' cheek.

He was tickling a little, so he put his hand on it.

"Running along with my bosses annoys my grandfather... is that it? If that's the case, Krone too....... yeah. Apparently, the best common sense guy was Dill."

He laughed naggingly and labored the spirit of Silvado.

But there's nothing Ain't can do about all this... because that's the kind of person (...).

"Mm-hmm..."

"- Chris, it's morning."

Chris then moves his eyes and moves his body to strike a turnaround.

As you look at Ain. When your body changes direction,

"... ah... that... here..."

How many days has it been since the two of you had a conversation?

It shouldn't have been a month, but I learn the illusion that we didn't exchange voices for a few years.

Her eyelids open as Chris's consciousness awakens.

This is Chris' room.

"... my... my... room...?

"Ha. It's been a while since I've seen Chris sleep."

When a cool breeze comes through the open window, the little birds' pleasant voices arrive.

As the curtain rises as if to hold Chris' awakening back, the wind becomes stronger for a moment.

"Look. Get up... because"

The wind must have reached my face.

Chris wakes up his torso annoyingly. Then I rub my eyes and wake up my sleeping lid.

"... Ein, Dear...?

"Yeah. It's me... Chris"

Spread the gold thread over the bright white bed and see Ain in a loose outfit.

When I gradually accumulated Shizuku on my lid, it suddenly poured out... pounding... pounding...

"I... worked hard."

"- Yeah."

"Master Ain is waiting. That's what I thought, the hardest I've ever lived..."

"- Yeah."

"But I couldn't win... and was transported back to King's Landing..."

"- Yeah."

"So... so I'm going to do what I can, think so... ugh!

That's when. Her eyelids were completely decimated and her tears couldn't stop.

I wet my bright white bed with tears and reached for Ain to shrug.

"I'm sorry... I, I can't go to Master Ain... I'm sorry... ugh!

"- Yeah."

When Ain takes that hand, he gently turns his arm to Chris, who cries like a toddler.

Then, Chris couldn't stand it any longer - and all he did was cry loudly at Ain's chest.

"Ugh... Wow... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... ugh!

I couldn't go to a place where my master was fighting. That strikes Chris hard in the chest.

"- No, I'm not. It was me who lacked the strength.... It hurt, didn't it? I'm sorry, let me do something hard."

"Chi... no...! Because I was weak... Huh!

"But I..."

Gently stroking Chris' back sobbing, Ein speaks to Chris.

"I am, thanks to Chris for coming home....... so thanks. And... I'm home, Chris"

This day of early summer. Chris was finally able to reunite with Ain. He blamed himself for his lack of power and exuded loneliness when Ain't been around.

But at the end of the day, when I feel only delight in Ain's return, I cry to give birth to a voice on Ain's chest.

I'm so glad. There's no such thing as right now. Chris kept exposing his thoughts like this for a while.
