The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning - Chapter 101
101. Ru. (1)
Warak──.
The moment Kayle hugged Lou, her familiar body filled her surroundings.
How indescribably unique. But a feeling that will never be forgotten.
I felt as if my breath stopped at the faraway scent.
A dizzying sensation that made her forget that she was dying for a moment.
It took a while for the accident to stop as if overheating when Cale embraced him.
“…… Lucia. No, Lou. …… You.”
Unlike usual, his breathing was completely distorted even after hard training.
Seeing her hand holding her, Lou shut her mouth.
As if he had repeatedly struck a solid stone block with his sword, his grip was torn and covered in blood.
“Defense magic…… How did you solve it? …… I never thought I would have crashed into it ignorantly and destroyed it.”
Really, it still always exceeds my expectations.
Muttering that, Lou smiled.
The owner of that torn palm didn’t even seem to notice that her fingers were bleeding.
…… It’s still hard to roll my body.
Well, that’s the same for me. In a way, should I call it Sam-Sam?
“…… Kale. hahahaha.”

As soon as the sound of gasping breaths began to fade, Cale, who gritted his teeth, slowly laid Lu’s body down.
“No. Do not die. Where and how to stop bleeding……. Raneia! No healers on board!”
“It doesn’t make any sense.”
Keil, seeing the blood on his clothes, hurriedly went to the healer.
Because he knew full well that such a thing could not work, Lu, who managed to keep his mouth shut, stopped him.
It wasn’t like he vomited blood because he was bleeding in the first place.
I don’t know what method Cale used, but he cut off the last ‘Thanatos’.
He didn’t mean that he could live.
That was the magic of the Source, but it wasn’t the Source itself that wished for its own death.
…… Yes, though.
Maybe it increased lifespan by about 5 minutes.
“…… Whew, Whuck.”
Collock.
Lu, who was staring at Cale’s face, turned her head and coughed dryly.
A sense of detachment, as if the soul were about to leave the body.
“…… Roo!”
“Don’t scream, make your head ring… …. Don’t look like you’re about to cry.”
I’ve never developed anything like magic to read people’s minds.
Now, I thought I knew what Cale was thinking.
He must be blaming himself again.
He didn’t save because he was late. If he had been a bit quicker, he could have been saved——he thought about that.
“It’s not your fault.”
Awkward.
At those words, Cale’s body trembled slightly. Seeing this, Lu smiled bitterly.
I wonder if she was blaming herself as expected.
“…… I was the one who hid that I had regressed, and from the moment I regressed in the first place. I was going to die.”
So please don’t beat yourself up.
Knowing Kale’s personality. Even though she was aware of her stubbornness, she said that she was not a person who would listen to her straight away.
…… The real problem isn’t death.
I’ve tricked death before, and I’ve even used magic before.
Because the first source, ‘time’, was an unknown territory that even Lu could not possibly sense.
I crossed over to the past, but that was just putting my body on the return of the time spirit.
Even though he reached the level of the 10th circle, he himself did not understand time.
And now that I’ve used up all my mana to blind the source…….
Because that absurd concept of fairness to all was about to annihilate his own soul, which had gone against its source.
Is this the feeling that death is right in front of you?
If you ask me if I’m afraid…… Okay. I was honestly afraid.
The void behind death. If I close my eyes like this, I won’t be able to see the man in front of me again.
I was thinking of dying quietly.
There shouldn’t have been any regrets.
If you want Cale to forget me someday, if you don’t want him to beat himself up…… It would be right to hold this heart tightly and throw it away.
Because there is already “Lucia” In this world.
If that guy connects with Cale……. If Cale loves Lucia.
She must have promised that she would be satisfied with that.
That firm resolve melted in front of Cale.
Only then did he realize the most arrogant misjudgment of his judgment.
…… The current Lucia is not satisfied with just being the frost next to Cale.
Perhaps it was a natural story.
‘Lucia is not me… ….’
And the place where that promise melted was filled with new desires.
…… With a desire to confess my heart.
My current heart, how much I like you.
I could die a hundred or a thousand times for you.
Really, I can do anything.
…… Except for giving up on you.
“…… Kale. Saying this, too. Too…… It may be selfish.”
Yes, as he said, he himself was a very selfish wizard.
A arrogant, selfish wizard who only knows me.
“On a subject that will die soon. I wanted to bury it in my heart because I felt like I was putting too much burden on you.”
So. So, so.
…… Maybe once in a while it’ll be ok
Because I endured my whole life.
Because even until he died, he buried his heart.
Before the last words, Lou shut her mouth.
One more word.
Her eyes began to blur, and Cale’s face wouldn’t be visible any time soon, so Lou opened her mouth.
“I like you.”
“… ….”
Ah, I can’t see it soon.
Because I couldn’t see Cale’s face even from this close.
Lu stretched out her trembling hand and touched Cale’s face.
Like the moment I first met Cale.
Blind, like the time she groped his face.
“…… This reminds me of the old days.”
Like a child kneading clay.
Lucia suddenly laughed as she poked Cale with her weak fingers.
“Ah… …. No, cancel. I guess I don’t like it.”
After saying that, Cale’s eyebrows moved slightly.
That kind of face, as if he couldn’t guess what he was trying to say.
I couldn’t see Cale’s face. Even with my eyes closed, that expression was clear.
Lou wrapped his arms around Cale’s neck, raised the corner of her mouth and whispered in her ear.
“Actually, I love you.”
* * *
My heart beats fast, thump, thump.
She doesn’t know if it’s because she heard Lou say she loves her, or because she has a hunch that Lou is going to die.
…… Roo.
The roux held in your arms is too light.
Too…… Because it is light I feel like I’m going to miss it right now.
It was easy to know that this body was not the current ‘Lucia’.
When I met Lou again, her whole body was covered with scars.
Burn-like scars filling her upper body.
She seemed to know how wounded the hostage was.
Those scars and wounds were very familiar to me too.
…… Disasters.
It was more like a cold corpse than a living person’s body.
Looking tired, dull and haggard purple eyes.
I wasn’t in that focus, but Lu was definitely looking at me.
But I think those eyes will close any moment…… I was afraid.
After her return, had she ever been this helpless?
No help whatsoever.
Watching Lu die was painful, like losing weight.
“…… The answer is, won’t you?”
She seems to be asking a playful question, but her horse’s tail is shaking.
…… Like he thinks maybe he’ll be rejected by me.
As I looked at Lou like that, I realized that a part of her heart was aching.
That this can’t just be the sadness of losing a close friend.
Really. I don’t know when it was.
…… Me too Lucia. That she had ‘Lou’ in her heart.
It’s already too late.
It’s too late, but at least you should be honest at least for the last time.
I hugged Lou and said in a trembling voice.
“Me too, I like it.”
“…… ?”
Lucia’s face was filled with surprise, as if she hadn’t expected a positive answer.
She felt guilty for that appearance.
I couldn’t say a word.
To the guy who loved me from beginning to end, was always there for me, and tried to help me to the point of foolishness.
She used the excuse that she had no room in her heart…… Because I couldn’t tell you one word that I like you.
“I’m just saying this just in case. It’s not like consolation because you think you’re going to die.”
In a calm, but not indifferent voice.
However, in a clear tone so that the emotions I feel right now can be conveyed clearly.
“Lucia…… No, Lou. I like you. …I.”
I took a moment to catch my breath.
As if waiting for Lou’s answer. After finishing the delivery of the heart that was too late.
“… ….”
But there was no answer from Lou. She
She didn’t answer, she didn’t respond.
…… Even the smallest movements that a living being should have.
“…… Roo?”
I felt my heart thump and sink.
No way.
No, probably not. No way.
It shouldn’t have been.
I couldn’t do anything. I’ve only been avoiding her feelings using Elena as an excuse, but I haven’t really done anything yet.
Now…… I was facing
“Lou, Lou. Lucia. Roo… ….”
I sighed as I embraced her.
Lucia’s body in her arms was still cold.
From a while ago, even now.
“This foolish wizard…….”
…… Ah.
It hurts.
Her heart hurts even though there are no scars on her chest.
I put my forehead on Lu’s cold body and let out a desperate voice.
“Because anything is fine. Give me an answer please… ….”
Knowing that there was no way an answer would come back.
Knowing full well that the dead do not come back to life——
“…… Hot. I almost passed out thinking it was a dream.”
“Mom.”
Cool.
Suddenly, Lou, who was still as if dead in his arms, moved, and I, startled, let out a sharp cough.
As she was coughing out of breath, Lou put her hand to my eye and smiled weakly.
“My sister is not dead yet. …… What if I cry already?”
But there was no life in those words.
Whoever hears it will think it’s a lie.
Because her trembling voice made it clear that Lou was barely holding on to a consciousness that seemed about to collapse at any moment.
Lou, because she was dying slowly in my hands.
“I won’t die. …… Lou, you can’t die. I will not let you die.”
It was an evil word.
Those words that you can’t believe will come true even though you’re spouting them out.
I won’t let you die. Words spoken with such stubbornness.
But did they say that miracles always come at unexpected moments?
Dig——!
In an instant, a mysterious white light leaked from her hand.
mana too. Come on. Not magic.
From noble mtl dot com
A warm and familiar energy.
It wasn’t Lu who was in her arms who reacted to it, it was Lucia who staggered from a distance.
“Kale. You, that…….”
“…… Lucia?”
Where was it? No, if you think about it, you might have seen it at first glance when the barrier was broken.
Her mana was exhausted and her stamina seemed to be exhausted, but her steps staggered.
Even so, Lucia looked at my hand and said, as if possessed by something about her.
“…… That is the source of time.”
The most important, first source of magic.
Time.
It’s in my hands right now.
Lucia, who had approached, said so.
