Beat the Boss Mob

60 – One Step To Hell

Seria has been training alone lately.

Originally, she should have been helped by someone, Enlil or Leon, but it’s normal.

But she didn’t say anything about it.

‘It’s strange these days. It’s really strange.’

Until recently, the atmosphere between the two was like warm spring sunlight.

It’s so warm that it makes me want to get closer without even realizing it.

There was something that makes you envious when you look at it, and beautiful when you disturb it.

But not now. The distance from the previous spring sun was far away.

If so, how should we describe them now?

‘… Winter.’

One looks like he’s trying to accommodate everyone before the coming winter.

The other is desperately trying to push the winter away.

At first I thought it was a fight. If you’re a lover, it’s a normal thing.

But to see it as a fight, the relationship between the two was no different from before.

Aren’t we talking, meeting, and greeting each other just like before?

It was an unknown winter. I don’t even know why that season came.

“Couldn’t it be a little bit to the side? There are people watching.”

“I don’t like it.”

Look at that. That can’t be the image of lovers who fought.

It was only natural for Seria’s mind to become even more confused.

“So what did I do then….”

“When I first came here, it was very difficult. I thought I was just an ordinary girl, but to be a hero—”

“Celestine is a new surname. Didn’t you know?”

Talking babbling―

Enlil’s mouth moves busily without a moment’s rest.

She is not a woman who is completely silent or has few words.

But if she was this talkative, I’d say no.

‘Have you not given up yet?’

It was stupid. It was pitiful. And she was so sorry.

She was even more like a devil herself, she hated herself and drove herself crazy.

She won her heart with all her steps, and without pushing it away.

She said that she hugged her even more and said that they were two now.

The poison of ‘what is the truth?’ Was released into her heart.

She whispered to her to vomit it up before the poison injures her further.

Leon outside the tower was properly hidden, and the owner inside the tower was moderately exposed.

Originally, doubt can burn wildly even with the slightest spark.

Surely, that spark also flew into Enlil’s heart. The shaky look was clear evidence.

Nevertheless, Enlil tried very hard to put out the flames somehow.

That was really stupid. Indeed… She behaved like her own.

“Instructor Leone. Didn’t you say there would be no personal feelings?”

Since they were so attached to each other, of course, strange gazes and words were bound to come out.

And of course, the news also reached Chief Instructor Edmund’s ears.

For him, who has to take responsibility for numerous candidates for the hero, it is quite troublesome.

So I called the two and said that, and the answer that came back was Enlil’s day.

“Tell me to stop worrying.”

“Enlil?”

“I do it myself. If I interfere more than this, I don’t know what to do next.”

The anger that should be directed at himself is splashing out in a faraway place.

Thanks to that, Leone was even more surprised than Chief Instructor Edmund.

“… I will tell you that.”

Instructor Edmund only shook his head as if he knew this would happen.

And I called only Leon and said this one day.

“I have one more request for you. Not just the mana technique, but even the hero’s heart.”

It means that since things have turned out like this, hold on tight so that you won’t be shaken.

Since he himself had no other thoughts, all that Leon said was yes.

However, as soon as he heard the words of Enlil, whom he met immediately after, his determination was shaken.

“I love you.”

The flame is burning in a completely strange direction.

Starting with suspicion, spreading to hatred and anger, the tower must be burned.

The longing to not want to be rather becomes faith and burns reason.

The flames will eventually pass through Enlil and turn Rion himself into ashes.

‘It’s dangerous. This is dangerous.’

Should I tell you the truth now? To be honest, should I wait for the next one?

But what time is left? How many months at most?

If that heart weakens and collapses, the next thing you will see is that woman dying.

It’s just a terrible future where the world collapses and you’re completely alone.

That’s why I can’t say. Only hatred and anger should remain.

“Rion.”

“… Huh.”

“Answer me.”

What should I say in front of those longing eyes?

Looking at him praying for the words ‘not me’ to come out of his mouth, how should I endure as a person with emotions and a heart?

He clenches his fists so hard that his fingernails dig into his skin and bleed.

“A little… Because it was sudden.”

“Maybe. But I made up my mind. I want to love you First and last.”

“….”

“Rion, how are you?”

I don’t want to hear that I love you. I just want to be at ease.

I need that promise that I won’t betray myself, so I’m stubborn like that.

That’s why I shouldn’t answer. It’s the right thing to try to avoid.

“… Me too.”

How could I not love you? How can i push it

I approached first and tried to capture that heart, but I was caught as well.

Where in the world would there be a person who wouldn’t mind seeing that hard work?

Yes. I fell in love with that woman. I want to keep that beautiful figure forever.

I want to remember everything that I did not give up as a warrior and that I was warm as a person.

That’s why I can’t stop all of this. Even if that memory is ruined.

‘I have to live. It’s better than dying.’

Gritting his teeth, Leone tried to regain his senses.

Suddenly, my eyes are blurry. Tears that she thought had dried up suddenly welled up.

Bewildered and dumbfounded, I just laughed.

I’m barely going back to being human, but the more I do, the more I’m broken.

“What is the answer?”

In the meantime, Enlil seemed to want another answer.

A bigger confidence, a bigger heart. Wanted that

“….”

I opened my lips, but the next words didn’t come out. A line of reason is blocking it.

If you really say it here, you might end up ruining yourself, not Enlil.

I’ve always thought of myself as something other than human, but that was just an illusion.

When he reached that point, Leon suddenly became scared.

What kind of expression is he making at the last minute?

At that moment, what kind of face was Enlil looking at himself?

Let’s put an end to this. Yes, for later please….

“I love you.”

At that point, she’ll be madly distressed, or she won’t be anything special.

But one thing is certain, if you don’t give this answer at this very moment.

It was that the face of Enlil standing in front of him would show a sadness that he couldn’t bear to overcome.

After hearing that answer directly, Enlil took a step further.

Smart-

“Rion.”

Late night. Time for everyone to sleep, except for Leon, who has no reason to even sleep.

Enlil cautiously appeared in front of his room and knocked on the door.

“Enlil?”

“I had a nightmare, but can I stay with you tonight?”

“….”

“I don’t think I can fall asleep by myself. Please.”

As expected, a request or insistence I would never have made in the past.

I tried hard not to reveal it, but Leon knew.

The reason why Enlil came to him now is not because he had a nightmare.

That’s just an excuse. Perhaps it will disappear tomorrow, and the disappearing person will suddenly appear from the tower. That is just a scary and fearful thing.

If I told you to come back now, would you listen?

No. Can you calmly say that you are going back?

It was before I could even answer that question.

Kikkik―

Unbeknownst to me, my hand was already opening the door.

Then Enlil, in case he refused, came right inside.

I’m not as flustered as before. Don’t even look around

I just moved quickly and quickly settled on the bed.

Rion let out a sigh and quietly sat next to her.

“Until I fall asleep. No, even if I fall asleep, please stay by my side.”

She forced herself to ask if she really had nightmares.

What if I had a nightmare and what if I didn’t. There is only one answer anyway.

“Please.”

It’s obvious what you’re asking for. So Leone put her left hand on her—

Poof!―

“Hey, you—”

Suddenly, her body leaned forward as she tugged at her hand.

Even for an ordinary woman, if she behaves so suddenly, she naturally has a hard time keeping her balance.

How much more the strength of the warrior who killed the beast and fought the owner of the tower? Of course I can’t stand it.

“….”

All it did was stop right in front of Enlil.

The woman’s eyes, the hair on her face, the breath flowing from her lips.

The distance between the two was so close that everything could be seen at a glance.

I wonder if s*xual desire is still there?

Then it’s really dangerous. If there really is something you thought you didn’t have.

It would be a big deal if the thing I had endured even erupted.

“… That’s it. You are.”

Suddenly, what are you talking about? What did you mean by saying this?

I was curious, but I couldn’t think of anything else.

Because Enlil hugged him tightly and kissed him.
