18 – A younger brother needs a sister.(6)

dark.

The golden sun that used to light up the world turned dark red and no longer illuminated the world as before.

The ‘light of hope’ created by the four surviving tower owners of the seven collapsed towers was the only light currently illuminating this world.

Khi-yi-yi-!!

Creepy screams resound all over the world.

It was the sound of monsters from another world approaching while hiding in the darkness of the world. Their cries, which arouse the feeling of fear in the heart just by hearing them, brought despair to many. All I could see in the pitch-black darkness was the demon’s ominous red eyes.

Three knights called supermen, who could think of victory only when they were together, formed a huge army and were running towards one place.

That place was called Sarham in the past.

It was a golden land that enjoyed endless prosperity under the name of Krause. The collapsed walls and broken spiers of the castle due to the invasion of foreign powers tell us how this place has changed.

Now, this place is no longer inhabited by people, but regardless of that, those monsters were blowing up dusty winds with ferocious cries, as if they wanted to completely erase the traces of humans living there.

The castle wall, already half-broken by the charge of such monsters, easily collapsed like a sand castle in front of the waves.

Not only the house, but even the brick road on the floor.

Everything left behind by the former owners of this place turns to dust and is blown away by the wind.

There is only one place left in Sarham, which has been completely turned into ruins.

Only the lord castle of the broken spire, where the Krause family once resided, was quietly waiting to be destroyed by them.

As if they were saving the tastiest food for later, they destroyed everything but the lord’s castle before heading towards the castle.

Demonic spirits began besieging the lord’s castle, led by the individual who seemed to be the leader of the group. The captain, who had a cut in one eye, looked at the castle for a while and seemed to be thinking about something, then grotesquely moved his facial muscles as if he were trying to imitate a human smile.

It looked up at the black sun floating above its head.

The ominous black light emitted by the blackened sun arouses people’s instinctive disgust, but to them, the light was like a blessing from their gods.

Receiving the sunlight shining on it with its whole body, it raised its snout high into the sky to give orders to its subordinates to destroy everything in front of its eyes.

wooo…

It was louder and more roaring than any monster had ever made, but that cry did not continue until the end.

A golden line was drawn in the blackened world.

The line that passed right through the captain’s neck soon began to distort the world, and everything the line crossed was split in two with the line drawn in the world as a boundary, just as it had been from the beginning.

A man stood where the captain’s head fell.

The man held on to his expressionless face as if he was not at all surprised by the sight he had created, and raised a sword in his hand toward the group of monsters that still remained and started running.

Perhaps it was something that happened in an instant, so even the monsters who did it seemed bewildered. But that was only a fleeting moment. The feeling of fear did not exist for them. Knowing nothing but destruction, they only rushed at the one who came to kill them, baring their teeth.

The result has already been decided.

The sword containing the golden aura of the same color as the man’s eyes cut down the monsters without much effort.

Its appearance was like a dragon roaming the sky, giving the illusion that a single dragon had descended to the ground and was eating monsters. They were no longer predators here.

When the head of the last remaining monster was cut, a white light came down from the sky.

As soon as the woman who embraced the starlight that descended on the light found the man, she immediately ran towards him.

“Damian!!! He suddenly disappeared, why is he here…”

She stopped what she was about to say when she saw the sea of blood soaking under her feet.

Shisan Blood Sea

Literally, the corpses and blood of monsters formed mountains and seas.

When the man saw her calling him, he threw off the mask that had shown no emotion until now.

“Sorry Elena.”

Hearing his voice sounding like he was about to burst into tears, she immediately approached and grabbed his hand. Unlike the blood of monsters that had already cooled down, a red liquid that still retained warmth flowed down his hand.

Originally, he wasn’t going to shed blood on an enemy of this magnitude, but the place he was standing now would continue to shake his heart. She also did not forget the faces of the dead when the sahrham collapsed.

But she couldn’t even give him a word of comfort.

Just as he was suffering from the loss of his family, the guilt of not being able to save them was already deeply embedded in her heart.

“Go back.”

She could only say that as she took the man’s hand and led him.

***

Some situations in life often remind us of memories that we have already experienced in the past. It will be even more so if it is a regressor who has already lived in the present once and returned to the past.

For me now, the sight of him bleeding was the memory I hated the most to recall. Although he knew that the future he would walk forward would not be as hopeless as before, he still could not erase the helplessness and guilt of not doing anything at the time that lingered in his memory.

Maybe that’s why I lost my temper for a while.

It was just a slight cut, but I was excited as if I had seen a patient suffering from some kind of fatal disease.

Thanks to that, when his face came right in front of me, the reason I had tucked away in a corner exploded without any protection. After that, I came to my senses and waited for the next opportunity, but what I thought was an opportunity was just a joke on his part.

“Dyamiaaayaan…”

“Huh? What’s wrong? Elena?”

“See you..”

Seeing his resentful eyes, he stopped rubbing his cheeks.

It wasn’t a bad feeling.

There was no way he would hate the smile and the touch that saved him from the memories of the past. However, it was a little different from what I expected, so I was just a little disappointed.

He said he was sorry, lightly stroked my cheek, which I had been fiddling with, and started preparing a place for him and me to sit by putting the things I had brought on the table. When the seats were all ready, I sat across from him and quietly bit into the macaron he had prepared.

“Come to think of it, I couldn’t join the dinner. Maybe I made you wait for no reason…”

“No. Ken informed me in advance, so I didn’t wait. Rather, thanks to that, I was able to get to know Master Alphonse a little bit.”

“Alphonse…?”

At the mention of Alphonse’s name, his face began to harden slightly. It didn’t look as serious as before, but I still felt that I hadn’t completely solved the problem with Alphonse. For a moment, she thought of the silly thing if that face was jealous that she and Alphonse were alone, but she knew very well that it was nonsense.

I took a deep breath, calmed my boiling heart, and asked him.

“Is it because of the work at Isilia Hall today?”

“…Yes? Oh, yes. That’s right. It’s embarrassing, but I’ve come to realize how much of an older brother I was to Alphonse. But how do I become a good older brother… I just can’t get a feel for it.”

“Then, can’t we just do it as usual?”

“As usual?”

Damian tilted his head slightly and made a face that he didn’t know. The sight catches my breath and stops me. I hurriedly put the prepared black tea into my mouth and took a slow breath.

Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything ugly about him as an older brother. Other families would fight for the throne, but compared to that, the relationship between the two could be said to be very friendly.

It’s just that these brothers care so much about each other that they want to give at least one more thing.

“Yes. As usual. Master Alphonse never hated Damian. On the contrary, he liked him very much. So I think it’s because we didn’t spend enough time together. Don’t beat yourself up too much. Damian. You’re a good person. .”

At my words, he put on a blank face for a moment, then responded with a smile.

“I’m running out of time…I see. Thanks for the advice, Elena.”

Seeing his face relax, I feel relieved too. The moment I was about to put a macaron in my mouth with such joy, there was his hand that put the macaron in my mouth before I thought.

I unconsciously bit off the macaron in front of my nose, but when I realized that he had fed me, my face grew hot. I immediately looked at his face at his sudden action, but he seemed unconcerned as if he had done the right thing.

yes. It’s past the time to be heartbroken over this. Let’s get used to it. Elena Edelweiss.

No matter how weak he was when he stood in front of him, he was a great wizard who had risen to the highest position in human history. If you concentrate your mind for a moment, you can quickly calm down the agitation of emotions.

I naturally gnawed at the macaron he was holding, as if I had blushed. I guess he’s enjoying this prank because I’m still shy. I don’t hate it, but I can’t be swayed by him forever. I put the macaron whole in my mouth, sticking to my expressionless face just like he did.

As I put the macarons into my mouth, my lips passed his fingers.

If he acted like this, he would have been embarrassed too. It was a bold move that I would not have dared to do with my sober mind.

I looked up at his face once more with an inwardly triumphant smile.

But for some reason, contrary to my thoughts, he was only smiling thinly, feeling very satisfied.

uh?
