Hunter of the Perished World

[317] I will never forget you (5)

Aira only talks psychologically with the monsters she’s been commanded to speak to, so she melts like a human being.

She, the king of the iceberg and ruler of the Eastern Land, was clearly the ruler and queen of the land.

‘Aira.’

Her power shifts away from the psychic waves, but her power to the extreme turns even the flesh into a human-like monster.

Even if it wasn’t as much as Aedyran, he could definitely use a superpower that matched him. She whispered.

‘What have you come to do? ’

‘To finish. ’

She smiles, looking at Jin’s miserable face.

‘You don’t tell me what the end is. ’

Gene doesn’t answer Aira’s words.

She didn’t die to Jean. Obviously, she had little left to say except that the remnants of the human era were merely speaking languages.

She didn’t ask any questions about her daughter, and that allowed Jean to see how she had changed.

From the moment she left for the glacier, she was Jean’s only daughter, and it meant nothing to her.

However, as it was imprinted on her soul, only deep and deep sadness in her eyes was inseparable.

Aira whispers.

‘You know, the end is nowhere. ’

She slowly raised her hand.

‘The dead die. ’

His hand is starting to fill with bronze.

‘The living will have to endure. ’

She smiled, but it wasn’t the smile she occasionally showed Gin. She smiles, always a little sad.

Gene thinks quietly.

‘Today, neither you nor I will be sad anymore. ’

I tried to think of Aira’s smile, but I couldn’t remember.

Those who are deprived even of their memories because of sins they did not love in time try to remember things they do not remember.

Never, ever think of that.

‘Good day. ’

The sinner is left with nothing but a fight.

The fight was over.

Gene won a terrible victory, as he always has, and brought Aira to her knees in the hall of the Castle in which the darkness settled. I couldn’t say it was a full-blown fight.

It was progress, even for a child.

Lost in a fight where neither of them had the strength to fight.

The fight was like a fight to die for both of you. For those who were weary of life, the fight was only a winner.

The bleeding child is collapsed in front of Jean. I look up at her.

I could never see that he was afraid of death.

It’s just…

‘Jean.’

I whispered to him quietly.

“If you kill the last demon, how will you live? ’

Gene wasn’t thinking about it.

‘In a world without demons, what do you hope to live in? ’

I don’t want anything.

‘Demon hunter, what will you live for? ’

There’s nothing to it.

‘You’re gonna miss me. ‘

The world I’ll miss.

‘When the time allowed for you to finish filming, you will realize that you loved us only to finish. ‘

All that remained was the fact that we had to live with despair.

‘Now, finish it.’

She closed her eyes.

‘Demon hunter.’

Gene stabs the phantom vane into Aira’s heart.

When Jean is finished with the time allowed.

I didn’t have to wait until then.

The moment all the demons disappeared from the world, Gene lost all the meaning of life.

Because of that, Gene had already known from that moment that he had loved them dearly.

When he left, he had the answer to the question, “Will you miss me?” But Gene couldn’t help but look at her death without telling her.

A hundred years since then.

Gene was left in a world without demons.

The other demon-hunters had a dream.

However, Jinman remained a hunter, and even dreaming was forbidden to live only as a sinner.

What is existence to a tool that has lost its use?

Since then, Gene has been wandering the world in search of the Devil in a world where the Devil has disappeared, hugging the unanswered question.

No one locked him up, but the world was his prison, and the wind was his cage.

I was living the life of a prisoner forever.

“Until I met you. ”

That’s what Gene said.

Leona hears all about Jean and is speechless.

There was no way I could have said something. It’s the story of the witch Jean hunted, but it’s also the story of the prelude to the demon hunt.

In the story, Gene was close to the Devil, but he was overwhelmed by what he had done. He ended up as a fanatic and only achieved the end of his duties as a tool called the Demon Hunter.

In relationships, in affection, failure in love is lacking.

Gene crushes it with his bare hands.

Leona couldn’t ask why she had to kill Aidan and Aira.

Gene prioritizes himself as a demon-hunter. If I save them, it’ll be an insult to everything I’ve killed.

Jean shouldn’t have killed those innocent people if she wasn’t going to kill them both.

Leona felt guilty for them, even though it wasn’t a story from her time of life.

And, in the end, he had no choice but to question himself.

Gene didn’t kill as much as he did.

‘Now I’m making an exception for the first time in my life. ’

‘By letting you go now, I have insulted everything I have already killed. ’

I finally understood the meaning of what I had heard a long time ago.

I did things and things I should never have done. Together with Aedyan and Aira, the goal was to use the psychic waves to hunt witches, and that was closer to exploitation.

But Leona was only there to accompany him, for no reason.

Along with Leona, Jean would have regretted every moment of her life. You would think that you should have been with them, just like you are with Leona.

Gene’s expression, which brought up a long story of the past, was inevitable that he was miserable. Life is just a process of building regret and regret.

And Leona suddenly wondered,

Why Gene had to do it.

It was desperate for Jean, of course, and she should have died from the point of view of completing the demonic hunt.

‘Why on earth…? ’

Gene never told me why he had to hunt demons.

As if it were some kind of coercion, the attitude of irresistible work was overlooked everywhere in Gin’s speech.

Like you have to do it even if you don’t want to.

Leona gives me goosebumps all over.

In the long talk, Gene never said that he hated or hated the devil.

Leona wanted to ask.

Why did you become a demon-hunter?

But after seeing Jean’s face, Leona couldn’t bring herself to say that.

Leona was unable to ask that question, even because she felt anxious that something was not to be heard.

“That must have been hard, thank you. ”

That’s why Leona had to smile helplessly at Jean.

It was Leona’s request that I bring up a story I didn’t need to tell.

Gene looks at Leona like that, and similarly smiles faintly.

It was a smile that felt guilty just by smiling.

Leona falls asleep, tired or tired, listening to the long story, and Jean can’t sleep. Gene comes out and walks into the encampment.

The baptism of time makes you forget everything, but some things are never forgotten. Since I remembered something I didn’t want to think about for a long time, Gene couldn’t lie anywhere right now.

I had to call him a strange person.

He couldn’t understand that he would eventually fall in love with a demon-hunter while accompanying him as a threat.

Gene, her, and Aidan traveled the world. I’ve been hunting witches for longer than Leona.

Jinn suddenly finds something, walking into a noisy encampment.

It was a wild flower.

There is no law against blooming, but this is a desert. However, there is no law that forbids wildflowers to bloom in the desert.

Gene relives the past’s fragrance in front of the pitiful wildflowers.

This is a desert.

Flowers bloom in the desert.

Of course,

Flowers bloom in a ruined world.

After a long memory, Gene recalls one thing related to her once again.

She liked flowers.

Flowers bloom in a ruined world, but no one is interested in flowers.

But Aira liked flowers.

‘Jean, the flowers are blooming. ’

As she walks through the field, Aira hugs her sleeping Addian and says,

It was a long time ago when Aira and Gin were together. Gene doesn’t remember where the field was.

‘Flowers are everywhere. ’

It seemed like the flowers were blooming. Like monsters are everywhere, like people have been hiding everywhere.

Wildflowers were always everywhere.

‘I like this flower. ’

Is it edible? ’

‘… what do you see me as? ’

Is it used as medicine? ’

‘No, it’s not.’

Aira smiled sadly, as she always did in front of the wildflowers.

‘These are flowers that have always bloomed where I live. ’

The flower reminded me of a hometown that had already disappeared. Gene finally stopped and looked down at Aira, looking at the flowers.

‘Isn’t there a name for this flower? ’

‘Of course.’

‘… Of course you don’t know, do you? ’

“I don’t know, if you liked flowers in the first place, shouldn’t you know their names? ’

‘You don’t have to know their names to like them. ’

Wildflowers are just wild flowers. Gene didn’t know the name of the wild flower.

Roses and tulips, acacia and trumpets, vegania and daisies.

Famous flowers that everyone knows still have that name. Even though the data disappeared, the memories were passed down, so everyone knew the flowers still had that name.

However, most of those beautiful flowers did not survive because they were not wildflowers.

What survived was the wildflowers.

The beautiful, luscious buds and flowering flowers left only a name, and the wild flowers survived, but they did not leave a name.

No one remembers the name of the wild flower.

“That’s sad, I’m so smoky, I can’t call you by your name. ’

‘It’s just a human name after all. There’s no such thing as a name on a flower. ’

‘I know that…. True.’

I sighed as if I was sick of Jean’s way of thinking.

It was always like that. Whatever Aira said, Gin was always grumpy. In Gene’s mind, she was very interested in things that were not helpful in her life. And answering those questions and conversations made Jean tired.

‘I also heard that flowers have flower horses. ’

‘That’s what humans do with flowers. ’

‘I really can’t talk about anything…’ ’

Aira stands up, holding Aidan in her arms, and stares at Jin.

‘You need to be emotional. If you live like that, your heart will become a desert. Oh, is it too late? ’

‘I think you’re the one with the perverted emotion of telling the demon-hunter to be sentimental. ’

“Homework. Get the name of the flower and the flower horse. ’

She said that as if teasing Gin and often walked ahead. Jin looked at the wildflowers that were abundant in the world.

I don’t even know what kind of flower it is, but I don’t know what kind of flower horse it is.

However, Gene looked at the wild flower for a long time.

Eventually, knowing the name of the flower, Gene and Aira’s lives were not that relaxed.

Gene didn’t solve Aira’s homework, and she didn’t even ask him for the answer. But sometimes she would stop walking whenever she encountered a flower similar to that one.

And then, of course not, he smiled sadly.

There is no way to give Aira the answer to the homework.

Wildflowers are wild flowers, and no one remembers them.

It wasn’t the flowers in front of Gene’s eyes at that time.

No one remembers the wildflowers, but Gene now remembers the wildflowers of that time.

Jean knows the name of a completely different wildflower in front of her eyes.

The wildflowers at the time.

I know when they bloom.

I know where the wildflowers bloom.

I know the flower language of the wild flower.

“ ……. ”

Finding a flower horse was very difficult for Gene. But he also found out for sure. Gene already knew that before he went to the Eastern Lands to kill Aira.

‘Will you miss me? ’

I finally failed to tell her that I know what she meant when she left for Eastern Land.

She already knew the name of the flower and its words.

The flower’s name is Bee Tasting.

Flower horse, I won’t forget you.

But now.

No one will tell me all about it.

I’ve already died a long time ago, someone who will tell me there are no flowers I don’t know.
