C64 - Summer Vacation (5)
At the time when Romantica used the magic of the wind, Desir also developed the magic of the wind to create a reversible wind.
It did not invalidate the magic by interrupting the operation itself, so it could not be said to be reversible.
The ball that remained in the air fell vertically towards the ground.
'There is no way I can stand it.' It was when Romantica thought that.
"...!"
Adjest ran through Romantica and towards the ball.
It was such a superhuman speed that the wind blew.
She slipped and put her palm between the ball and the ground.
The ball went up with a loud noise.
Then the ball, which had been supported, fell on the net on the other side of the court.
Desir and Pram, on guard, stared at the ball rolling on their court.
The whole area was silent in an instant.
"...we won".
After a while, Romantica broke the silence. She screamed.
"We won! Desir, have you not forgotten the promise of the true loser?"
The Adjest movement was more than Desir thought.
His physical abilities now seem to match Pram, a knight level swordsman.
And finally, the game was surpassed by Adjest, but it was Romantica who led the end of the game.
Romantica's mana control capabilities were quite competent.
His achievement was one step ahead of Desir's expectations.
"Okay, I admit defeat."
Desir had a sense of accomplishment as a party leader and smiled bitterly at the fact that he had to prepare dinner on the other hand.
Romantica picked up the tube she had set aside and said.
"So please, I wait for your dinner tonight ~".
"... Well, a promise is a promise."
* * *
Desir lay tired under the umbrella.
Hearing the cool sound of the sea, Desir and his group had a peaceful routine.
That night, Desir and Pram went to make dinner at the villa.
Pram was good for cooking. I knew many recipes and I knew how to handle materials well.
Desir helped him a couple of times.
Desir was not so good at cooking, but he was incredibly well versed in how to help after he was pressed by Jeffran in the shadow world last time.
The dishes cooked in collaboration with Desir and Pram were not only appreciated by Romantica and Adjest, but were also admired by the chef of the house.
Suddenly, the sea wind came out when Desir ate dessert.
The sea breeze was fresh.
It seemed very fortunate that the town of Romantica was a landscape overlooking the sea.
* * *
Sunset time
He could not take his eyes off the scene where everyone was dyed gold.
"That's fine, isn't it?"
His throat tightened.
In Romantica's eyes, who wore a dress, the golden waves collapsed.
"Yes".
"Every time I see it, I admire it. It seems that the water is made of gold."
That was a great landscape, a beautiful landscape about the time between day and night. Just before the sun went down completely.
"Desir, do you know why the DeltaHeim sea is not blue, but that golden color?"
2… That is because the sea contains manna that reacts to sunlight. "
"Fuck. Unless you're a local, most people don't know, but you know everything."
Romantica, who tried to show what Desir didn't know, was very disappointed.
"Hey, Desir. There's a place with a better view than here. Why don't we go there?"
Romantica walked along the beach with Desir.
The footprints on the beach were washed away by the waves.
The place they arrived on foot for a while was a half-broken castle.
The stone that formed the fort was half melted and seemed firm.
Then, they climbed on the broken pieces that fell from the fort.
Later, Romantica, as if something had come to mind, he said.
"The story of this fort may not know him."
"Say it at once."
"They say, a volcano could have erupted here a long time ago."
Surely that was the first story Desir heard.
"It must have been a fairly busy city in ancient times, but the eruption of the volcano destroyed the city. It was a huge explosion, and all the seas were full of volcanic ash."
'You didn't know this,' Romantic thought as she looked at Desir.
"Yes, it's the first time I hear it."
No matter how Desir clung to the history of each country to compete against the Shadow Worlds, he could not remember everything that was happening in a particular area.
The broken part of the stairs came out. Romantica jumped first, and Desir followed.
"But according to the research of scholars, the mountain here was not a volcano."
At that moment, the passage of Desir, which was connected with that of Romantica, stopped once.
"But strangely, there were signs everywhere that looked like volcanic eruptions. This is one of the tests."
They finally reached the top. The view from there was spectacular.
The sky was broken and the golden light bloomed all over the place.
"It is a mystery that will never be resolved how a volcano emerged when magma was not flowing. But some storytellers invent stories."
"A legend is made to explain an incomprehensible phenomenon, after all."
Thus was the mythology.
A story is made to perceive an unintelligible phenomenon in reality in some way fitting it into recognition.
"Many of the narrators also say that a great demon scratched the earth and destroyed countless cities surrounding the sea, because of that, there was another name for the sea. The sea, once trampled by the evil demon, was called Est ... "
"Sea of Estakar" Desir said, interrupting Romantica
In ancient Runic, Estakar meant "Disaster."
When interrupted, Romantica complained.
"You're terrible, don't you know?"
Desir shook his head.
"No, I just heard someone say that before."
What, do you also know someone from the Kingdom of Prillesha? "
"... It was a long time ago, so I can't remember."
Desir had no doubt heard about this in his previous life. But he didn't remember who had heard it.
The golden glow of the sea rose and twilight began to fall.
Desir began to get nervous about who heard the story without knowing why.
There was, without a doubt, a straw of remembrance.
He followed the memories of his past life, full of the bloody body odor.
For Desir, it was painful to try.
"This is my hometown, the Kingdom of Prillesha"
Soon there was a dense darkness.
The voices heard in the dim light were very painful. It was a tone that seemed to breathe sadness and barely spit a word.
"Desir?"
"There was a villa around here, yes, it was a beautiful place to see the golden water every night."
Desir felt his breathing stop.
It was the feeling of being thrown to the deep end of the unknown.
"Are you okay? You don't look good."
"I don't want to die, Desir."
Then he realized.
Here, the golden sea, Desir had been there before.
Of course, it was far from being a beautiful sight. At that time, it was a fierce battlefield with blood and flesh.
'This was one of the mission funds of the Labyrinth of Shadows.'
A great demon
This is where human despair was filled.
Humanity had faced despair here.
Here, in the Sea of Estakar, it was where Romantica lived, and above all, where she died.
If it was a coincidence, it was cruel.
"Hey, Desir ... Do you want to go to the hospital?"
The moment Desir faced Romantica's worried eyes.
He couldn't worry about her.
'It's just the past. It hasn't happened yet, and it will never happen. '
Desir took a deep breath and exhaled, sinking the agitation.
"I'm fine, thanks Romantica ..."
But Desir still felt his throat dry the moment he saw Romantica.
A threat that one day will face.
'I will not let anyone die.' Desir made that oath the moment he returned.
Humanity, the Hebrion Academy, the Desir party, Romantica, all were included in it.
"One day, you will face a threat that you cannot afford to lose." Desir said after breathing.
Then he took another breath and continued.
"It will be a great threat that you won't be able to see even in your most terrible nightmares. And then, if I order you to run away, make sure you follow the order, no matter what the situation is."
"Ha? What are you talking about suddenly?"
"I just want you to survive ..."
"Wow, this is a great coincidence. I always say the same thing when training."
Romantica, who thought she was being belittled, looked into Desir's eyes and realized that it was not a joke.
Deep depression
They were the eyes of a man with a great sense of loss.
'What the hell is going on?'
"Can you promise me?"
Romantica did not know the meaning of Desir, but as soon as he saw his expression, he had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, I promise."
