Beat the Boss Mob

66 – Three steps, finally

“Why did you do that?”

Enlil asked the man standing in front of him.

He is resentful. I hate it so much. He will go and curse all his life.

I’m going to keep gnashing my teeth, spouting strong hatred.

But, even so. At least I want to know why.

He replied ‘Yu-hee’, but I thought that wasn’t all.

No. Maybe he just wants to believe that.

Whatever it was, Enlil continued to demand an answer from the man.

Anything is fine, so please, if it’s something you can accept.

If only I could laugh at the end of the end and say, “It was good though.”

If that’s the case, I really couldn’t ask for anything more.

“….”

The man did not answer. Just standing there, he silently watched Enlil.

Is it my imagination that sadness is suddenly pouring out between my closed lips?

“Rion, please. Anything is fine, please.”

From a requesting tone, now it’s an open prayer.

Kneeling down to his knees, Enlil begged and begged for an answer.

I felt like my heart would break if I continued like this. I want to live a little bit.

But the man never parted his lips. He kept silent.

Instead, he only looked at Enlil with an unknown look in it.

But now it’s about to turn around and disappear somewhere.

“Really I wish you… Was it nothing? Was the word “I love you” Just a wind that would blow away in an instant? Answer me Answer me, Leon. Answer, answer.”

“….”

“Answer me!―”

In the end, he screams again. Is it because of anger or because of desperation?

No matter what, I want to hear some answers. I guess that’s how I can live a sane life.

Then the man stops and he turns around again.

Empty eyes, the chilly emotion felt between them.

Involuntarily, Enlil flinched, but he did not avoid it.

“Enlil.”

It was his voice that I thought I would never hear again.

This is the name he thought he would never call again.

“Yes, tell me. Say something, Leon. Say something.”

“….”

Did Enlil’s sincerity reach him? He speaks slowly

“Enough, I have to put an end to it.”

Should I put an end to it? End? Have you just started?

“… No.”

Who the hell is talking about the end? At your will?

With what qualifications? When you say it’s over, does it have to end?

Me? I, who only believed in you and followed you, what should I do?

“I can’t. No, don’t end? Whoever wants why do you end up I am not yet!”

My chest is ripped open and it feels like something is dripping through it.

If only I could hold on to it, I would. I don’t want to lose even a little bit of this flowing down, the sparkling memories, and the good memories.

“There are so many things we haven’t even started yet! Why do you say that! Don’t, don’t go!”

It was an empty cry that would not reach. It was just an echo meaningless.

The man turned again and walked away.

Just like that, he left his side forever.

“….”

Rising from his seat, Enlil looked around blankly.

How long have you been here? Since when, have you been hitting and destroying this place?

After holding his head for a moment, Enlil smiled coldly.

Yes, what does it matter? No matter how much time has passed, what is the logarithm?

The important thing is to release the lump in your chest.

That alone is enough. Now, that is the only thing left for you.

Booth-

After getting up from his seat, Enlil stumbled once.

The condition of his leg, which has not been properly treated, is in disarray.

If it gets worse in this state, then treatment may become impossible.

I don’t really want to be treated, but it’s inconvenient to move without legs.

If you’re immobilized, it’ll be harder to kill that damn bastard.

When he reached that point, Enlil made up his mind. He goes back, and he says let’s get treatment.

“….”

Look around. The place where I tore it with my own hands just a while ago.

A place literally desolate, with no trace of life to be found.

Nothing that was dyed green no longer exists.

All the flowers that were blooming beautifully were dug up and thrown away.

The blue stream becomes dirty muddy water and cannot hold anything.

The world would never have imagined that this place would have been such a beautiful field.

You will only think of it as a cursed, pitiful place where tragedy fell.

Yes. I’d rather have that. I want it to be a place where no one can find it.

The beginning of something that is now something disgusting rather than a sparkling memory.

I want the place to be desecrated and abandoned and completely forgotten by the world.

Lip—

Let’s go back. To the place where everything started for me.

Academy, let’s go there and prepare for the last time.

I feel like I’m going crazy because even that place has traces of that disgusting thing.

At the same time, isn’t it the starting point of those who perished countless times to kill the cursed being?

So it’s worth going back. I will go and swear an oath to end it all.

Lip—

Why do my eyes keep blurring? Am I not seeing well?

Enlil rubbed her face back and forth, which was a mess of blood and dust and dirt.

I thought my vision would come back, but it turned hazy again.

I wondered if the dust hadn’t been removed, so I rubbed it again, but nothing changed.

On the contrary, it became more and more blurry, and suddenly I felt something itchy on my cheek.

Took―

Things that flow down the ball fall onto the overturned ground.

I look down at the floor blankly, wondering what this is, but this time, another tickling thing falls to the floor from the other cheek.

Took―

“….”

Enlil was blank, she looked down at it. Traces of drops dotting the floor.

Has it rained by any chance? Or, does it bleed from a torn wound?

It could very well be. Dust and dirt and blood came from the hand that rubbed her face.

I need to go back and get treatment. Yes, then everything will disappear.

Tuk, tok. Tuk-tuk-

All the way back to the academy, the whole time Enlil’s footsteps were separated.

Water droplets fell behind her, leaving a trail of dots and disappearing.

*

I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy. It’s really going crazy and jumping up and down.

Instructor Edmund was tearing his hair out and trying to understand the situation.

Enlil has returned. This time, too, she said, she succeeded in reviving.

She says, however, she is in a state of severe injury unlike before.

Perhaps there was a fierce battle with the owner of the tower.

She said she was almost there on her own now. She

She said that if she stretched out a little more, she could hold the peace of this era.

So the fight must have been fierce and the defeat must have been narrow.

God protected it. The light protected it once more.

Just a little while longer and she will truly save us all.

She thought so and she was waiting for Enlil to return.

“Su, Chief Instructor. The Enlil warrior… You are gone.”

“What?!”

Unbelievable news arrived. Enlil suddenly disappeared.

As soon as she came down from the tower, she suddenly asked for a moving magic circle and used it.

When she asked why she didn’t stop her, she said that she couldn’t help it.

‘What the hell is going on?!’

This has never happened before. It is only natural that he disappeared, and there really never was a case where Enlil openly revealed his life to others.

But it actually happened. According to eyewitnesses, it looked like a completely different person.

It doesn’t matter now what happened to Enlil.

He doesn’t even care where he goes or what he’s doing.

There is only one important thing, whether or not she makes her comeback.

At first, I tried to follow her whereabouts by immediately releasing a search party.

If you get into an accident while you’re not in your right mind, it’s fatal.

What if the relic stripped her of her champion status?

At that time, the world will completely lose sight of the savior that it barely caught on to.

However, Chief Instructor Edmund had to give up his will before long.

“Saint. It’s better to release people now and find them quickly….”

“No. Sister Enlil will come back.”

Seria blocked that. She told me not to do the search itself. She

She told her not to chase Enlil by all means as well as she did.

What we need right now is time, not worries or attention.

“Do you know anything? Tell me too….”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything else. Just… I’m just saying it because I feel it should be.”

Perhaps when it’s all over, she’ll have to give up her place as this saint.

Saying her lies against her siblings is an absolute disqualification.

Seria thought so and asked Chief Instructor Edmund. And she reassured the world.

And after a while. Enlil returned to her academy.

It radiates a terrifyingly sharp edge and an unmatched aura.
