[BL] I Will Be Your Number 1 Devotee!

Chapter 53: 47 - ASTILBE, EVEN IF i am loST In TALeS OF THE PAST, I WILL WAIT FOR YOU (1)



Surprised, Eriu and Noah immediately stood up. Suddenly, Eriu's heart beat very fast and abnormally, he felt that something bad was going to happen, "Let's go to your mother first."

"Um..."

Dull clouds covered the surroundings, raindrops slowly dripping down to soak the world with tears. 

Eriu took Noah's hand and they hurried back to the mansion. Seeing Amiley standing at the door made Eriu even more certain that something was wrong.

"Mom!" Noah who saw Amiley immediately called for her, a feeling of security was instantly felt which made the frightened Noah calm down, she immediately ran to Amiley's front and looked at her with a confused look, "Mom, what happened?"

Amiley just looked at her in silence before opening her mouth, "Noah, promise me."

"Mom, what's wrong?" Noah's voice slowly trembled. Eriu stood there not knowing what to do, all he could do now was look for the demon. Eriu noticed that the demon was invisible since this morning and he didn't even make a sound.

"Don't ever get out of here." Amiley did not answer Noah's question and went straight to the point.

"Promise me you won't come out. Hide in the guest room where Eriu sleeps." Eriu, hearing his name called, turned his head, "?

"And you, bring all your things."

"?" Eriu gulped in confusion but still nodded, "Okay..." Didn't he have 3 more days before Axel came to pick him up?

What's going on?

At that moment, Amiley immediately turned around, "Let's hurry, we don't have much time. Without knowing what was happening, Noah and Eriu followed behind Amiley. They arrived in front of the guest room where he was sleeping, whether out of politeness or not, but Noah stood in front and waited for Eriu to come out after tidying up his belongings. 

Luckily, Eriu didn't take out too many things. So he put a letter and the candy Eros had made on the table.

He would be a little embarrassed if Noah read his letter in front of him.

So...

Krieet

With a sling bag and a big bag for the sword, Eriu left the room. Right away, he felt a heavy atmosphere around them. Noah was staring down and her hands were shaking in contrast to Amiley who still had a flat expression.

Amiley glanced at him briefly before walking away, Eriu was stunned and turned to Noah, immediately following Amiley.

"Bye, I'll definitely send a letter to you, don't forget to read it." 

Noah, hearing this, looked at him. Her eyes were watery and sobs could be heard. 

Her mother's voice echoed in her mind, "You really do look like me."

"?"

If love existed, what would the world be like if it were filled only with pure love?

Noah lifted his head to look at Amiley. It was the first time she had seen her mother smile at her so tenderly, "Live for me."

"Because you are me."

It was a confession full of uncertainty.

This sentence was what Amiley always said to her when someone insulted her. Even though the whole world thought her mother was cruel, her mother was a source of security for her. As long as her mother was with her, she would continue to feel safe.

The daisy hair band on her wrist was wet.

There she stood.

Eriu immediately looked around, thinking that the demon would appear, but wait, what was the name of the demon?

I had the feeling that Amiley had told me, but who, huh?

"The demon is in the forest." Amiley kept walking forward without looking back. Eriu blinked, "How did you know that?" Suddenly, he remembered the previous day and immediately realized, "So you asked him there? Why?"

How could I, a twenty-five-year-old me, not notice anything?

"Did someone try to break in here?" Eriu asked again. Amiley sighed briefly, "I have a request for you."

"Please look after Noah after this."

Eriu opened and closed his mouth, "You're still here, right? Why should I? 

I don't know what happened, but don't leave her alone, Noah must be very sad."

Also, Noah's past history. If Amiley wasn't there, who would protect Noah? It was obvious that Amiley held the highest position in the church. Surely, Noah would be very safe in Amiley's hands.

Amiley, who heard what Eriu said, was silent for a while as if she was remembering past events, "Haha, it's only fitting that Aria loves you so much." Amiley chuckled, "The old Aria wouldn't even smile, she wouldn't even make an expression."

"That has nothing to do with it." Eriu replied in a small tone, "You better think about what will happen to Noah if you're not at her side."

Without realizing it, they had already left the corridor, the garden in the middle of the room, a garden containing only Rain Flower. Drops of water fell from the leaves of the Rain Flower.

"Sorry for pushing you while you were here." Soon, they were in the living room where the big door was.

The first time he came here, he was greeted by wing-shaped clouds. Beautiful sunlight, soft wind, and bird songs... Even though there was a sudden attack in the middle, but still all the memories he felt were like the beginning of a chapter of the main character's adventure. 

This means that this is the end of the chapter of the beginning of the adventure, right?

An ending that would surely be filled with regrets and questions.

And he hated that, especially every time he read a story with a regretful beginning.

Butterflies flapped their wings in the rain. They continued to surround the big blue house.

One by one, the butterflies' wings were torn, but they kept on flapping until the end.

Until the blue nectar was visible in their wounds.

Eriu turned to Amiley, her face as stern as ever, but her tone full of sadness.

"Noah is like me, half elf and half not. That's why she's considered imperfect. Noah is very smart, she's also a confident child. But they made Noah a timid and suspicious child. Afraid of her existence."

"It can be said that even now Noah is very similar to the old me."

" Her angry expression is the one I like the most. I'm sure you heard your mother curse a lot."

"That's why when Aria introduced me to her child who would probably die early, I became skeptical that I wouldn't be able to save a child who didn't even want to be saved. That's why I wanted to test you, to see how determined you are to live your life, how strong you are in the face of your current problems."

"So that you can turn Noah into the self-confident girl she once was."

Eriu blinked and at that moment Amiley turned to him and chuckled, "Let me tell you a secret that even your mother doesn't know."

The blood-red eyes slowly widened after seeing the sad look on the woman's face, "I love your mother very much."

"But unfortunately, she married an ugly man who has no value at all."

"...." Eriu's eyes immediately widened.

Amiley immediately turned her face away and stared ahead, "You better find that demon before he runs away."

Eriu froze, not even knowing what to say, he just nodded, "I'll be back..." Eriu ran towards the forest with all his strength, even if rainwater got into his eyes, he didn't care. 

Seeing that sad face made him remember his old self.

The love that was never returned.

Even though he was rejected many times, it didn't mean he wasn't sad.

It hurts even more than a wound exposed to vinegar.

Unlike Axel, who was so shameless, Amiley sounded full of pain when she said it.

Now he wanted Amiley's confession to be heard by her mother, even though he knew that nothing would change. But it was still better to express her feelings than to hold them in until they turned to moss.

As soon as Eriu could see the lake with the glass in it, he ran through it.

All of a sudden, the rain that had been above disappeared instantly, like a lie between a contract.

Tak-tak.

The sound of tapping could be heard in the room, Louise kept tapping his stick, creating barrier after barrier. Ariadne looked out the window and clenched her fists. After a short silence, Ariadne opened her mouth, "I'm going to kill that bastard."

Louise removed the cloth covering his eyes, his pale yellow eyes staring ahead with a blank stare. Then he paused as the sound of the bomb disappeared and the explosion was swallowed by the water shield.

The shards of paper slowly transformed into origami birds. They disappeared as a bubble burst. There were two letters on the table, still neatly arranged.

Don't blame me if your life is ruined.

Ariadne quickly closed the window with a curtain and walked over to Louise, who was surrounded by water bubbles. In her hand was a large sword with a goat-shaped hilt. At that moment, the goat's eyes turned red and soon a goat's head appeared on Ariadne's shoulder.

The blood-red eyes opened wide and looked forward.

He put on his hood and a flickering sound was heard. Immediately they disappeared with the water bubbles.

This would be a full-blooded confession.

"Sword, where are you?" Eriu continued to call for the sword. Even though his voice was getting hoarse, he didn't care. That sword had to appear, no matter what!

He knew very well that his current self could do nothing. No magic, no fast running, not even a power that could defeat his enemy with a single blow. However, he still had to clearly see the person who was attacking them.

"Haa....!" Eriu, who felt that his luggage was only slowing him down, immediately took it off and put it under a tree. 

Of course, he did it because he had a super memory. That's what 001 said. In addition to his keen sense of sight and smell, his memory was also very sharp. But strangely enough, he was slowly forgetting his childhood memories. But what 001 said was true. Because of his good memory, he was able to remember all the locations of the objects he had put in the forest. 

His suspicion of his memory loss is likely to make 'Eriu Grith' remain a side character. A character that only exists to make the protagonist's past vague.

Because of that, everything important was blurred, even the memory of their first meeting.

Well, that's just one possibility.

Pat, pat.

Eriu patted his wet arm and went back to searching for the demon's whereabouts. In the end, Eriu decided to just take a rainflower and put it in his pocket.

Since this was the area of the Divine Servant, he had to be careful, he didn't want the long worm to enter his body.

Oh, and a few days ago, that demon ran away, not once, but three days in a row, until Amiley finally decided to seal it away.

Eriu, who was so nervous that he felt nauseous, told himself many stories. 

"I'm going to tell on you to Aunt Amiley..." Eriu closed his mouth, remembering that Amiley was the one who told this demon to go to this area, "...No. I'll rat you out to Mom. If Mom finds out you ran away, you'll be in big trouble!"

By the way, isn't that 'Eriu Grith' the ideal character? He's very handsome, very kind, and definitely a threat to those 13 people, even though 2 people haven't been seen yet.

The more ridiculous he thought- "Come on, where are you?" The worse he felt.

The side character who must have been a threat to those 13 people turned out to be very strong, with sharp memory, sharp smell, and sharp eyesight, and could help the protagonist anywhere, right?

Surely he can do what that side character did now.

Because he is now 'Eriu Grith', right?

🎶

The faint sound of a violin could be heard.

Accompanied by the singing of the winners, they danced in the fire circle. The people gathered happily, full of joy and hope for tomorrow.

A big fire, so hot and full of ambition, didn't it reflect them well?

Axel held the cigarette and blew the smoke out of his mouth. He stared at the view from the balcony. The sound of the door opening was heard, Axel didn't turn around and went back to smoking as he asked, "Why here?"

The woman walked over to Axel and stood next to him with a puzzled look, "They've already carried out the plan." 

"Those people are dead... Don't you even regret it?"

Axel didn't look away and continued to stare at the crowd, "I suppose you believe in the saying that a shooting star will grant you any wish?"

She grumbled, "You've said that many times." 

"And you've asked me that many times, too." Axel just shrugged, "So you already know the answer." 

"...Tsk." The woman clicked her tongue and regained her composure.

She looked up to where the stars shone so beautifully.

"But does it have to be this child? Look, we're already on our way to victory, even he's on our side." The woman's heart ached to know that a mother who knew nothing would die just for revenge, "They're already dead!"

"We even lied to her! She just wanted her son to be able to go out and fulfill his dreams, but what is left of them now? Nothing!" The woman shouted at Axel, her eyes wet, guilt making her unable to carry out this plan.

Axel looked at the woman and immediately exhaled the cigarette smoke from his mouth, "We won't win." The woman's eyes were full of anger, "We've come this far and you're still saying we won't win? What's wrong with your head!"

Axel ignored what the woman said, "Only he will bring us victory. This will be a favor to the prince."

Because this child was the answer the star gave. The star offered him to them.

And therefore he knew what karma they would get for this victory.

Axel opened his mouth and slowly recalled the memory he could never forget.

When he thought he was dead, he immediately woke up in a clinic. Only to find that the village Deus was supposed to protect was now before his eyes.

The village they never knew existed.

A village filled with peace and laughter.

He also realized that the Marquis Alexander's subordinate was here and had even become a farmer and had a wife who was a nurse.

The people who had been living peacefully regrouped and started planning things when they found out that he was working with the Marquis.

These people never forgot their ambition.

They turned themselves into sheep and joined the other sheep.

After deciding what to do, he remembered the two people and decided to visit them.

Knock-knock.

The young man stood in front of the door and saw the house full of rare flowers. How can these flowers grow? These flowers only grow in extreme places!

Soon the door opened to reveal a long-haired man, and when the young man saw the cloth wrapped around his eyes, his eyes widened.

"What is the need?" The man asked. 

"Ah, hello, I'm here to thank you..." Before he could finish his sentence, a child's voice was heard calling to the man, looking at the young man suspiciously.

"Dad, Dad!"

"I want to eat noodles! Spicy noodles!" Realizing that the young man was staring at him, the child began to look at the man in front of the young man.

"No, you can't eat spicy things!" the man replied before rubbing the boy's head, "And you can't interrupt anyone either, understand Eri?"

"..." The boy looked back at the young man and his eyes immediately widened as if he had read something, "Uhmm, sorry."

The young man stopped and stared at the boy. The boy looked back at the young man with a look full of very deep suspicion of the young man before he walked away.

Immediately the man made a fake cough, "Ekhem, sorry for his behavior, he's not usually like this..."

"Such a cheerful one. " The young man said unconsciously. What was said and what was thought were completely different. For the young man, the boy was like being separated from a room full of warmth.

The boy reminded him of a man he had met when he was a volunteer soldier.

He had black hair and dark blue eyes.

While he was hiding in a pile of corpses, this man appeared in the middle of the war.

He stood there and disappeared.

Everyone who remembered the man was dead in a pile of corpses, and he was the only proof that he ever existed,

The sky became very red, so red that the stars in the sky were visible.

And the day he ran away from death, the shooting stars were very red.

Maybe it was just an illusion he created to make him believe in himself again. That the stars were really answering his prayers.

When the young man saw the boy. He was sure that the aura of the boy was very similar to that of the man.

Then why was he saved by that couple?

Why did he survive?

Why?

When he returned, he still thought that it was all an illusion. And back then, the more he found out about the couple, the more confused he became, who were they? 

Why are their names in that guild? Didn't this guild close down a long time ago? A guild that went bankrupt 300 years ago.

Even the woman's name, Ariadne, was once a mercenary to protect King Peacon.

But these two people disappeared 200 years later, never to be heard from again.

The person who was always with her kept changing his name from Shi Shui, Gery, and even Jonathan to end with Louise. At the same time, he learned that the real king was dead. Long, long ago, before he and his sister were brought to the kingdom.

All these secrets made him want to close his eyes and ears.

So it ended with a new plan that no one ever knew about.

"What do you mean, we won't win?" the woman asked. Axel lifted his head and looked into the distance. He saw two people coming out of the forest.

A plan that would make everyone think the kingdom was hiding something.

"We will never win. We will. We are all just stepping stones for this person, so we must die so that our revenge can continue." Axel gave her a guilty look.

The woman fell silent and her eyes widened.

The moment she opened her mouth, her voice vanished.

The fire that had been so blazing died instantly.

Ariadne from the other end stared at everyone with eyes full of anger. Everyone was stunned and began to look for the cause. Louise turned in the direction where Axel was. 

Are you all right? The line of questioning changed after that, "Turns out he was fine the whole time." Louise's voice was very calm, there was no emotion in the sentence.

The goat's head moved slightly and its red eyes widened.

Ariadne slowly raised the big sword.

Susshhh!

With one swing of the sword, time seemed to stand still and the bubbles surrounding them burst one after the other. But the loud noise was never heard. The standing people fell with their bodies separated, and the sitting people fell with their heads disappearing as if they didn't exist. Thick blood was created, reflecting the imperfect moon that lit up the world.

All the buildings there collapsed and people fell and died.

All this happened without a sound being heard.

The screams of the people were not even heard.

Before his eyes closed, Axel opened his mouth and whispered the last sentence.

Let the prince become king and tell the boy about a cruel world.

"I know it's crazy, but I want you to kill us." The old man shouted in front of the young man while holding the young man's shoulders. The young man frowned, "Why? Why are you like this all of a sudden?"

The old man immediately removed his hand and returned to normal.

"Do you know about the kingdom that disappeared from the map, the ridiculous story of the shadow race?" The old man suddenly asked this ridiculous question. Seeing the young man's reaction, the old man continued, "The kingdom was not destroyed by lightning!"

"Someone is behind this!"

"They will take revenge! We will die! Our future, we must find the future!"

Seeing the abnormal reaction of the old man before him, the young man immediately shouted, "Calm down! I still don't understand how you want me to kill your family!"

"We're all just dirt, we don't belong here, I, I want my family to be safe, yes, safe, with the Guardian's protection..."

"We, we have to find the future, yes, the future..." 

"Yes, the future! You, you must find it and let it know this world! A cruel world without the love of the Creator!"

The old man's face distorted even more, the young man shuddered as the old man's face in front of him seemed to rotate and soon disappeared.

"We, we won't leave you alone!"

"Stop it!"

"We will cry with you!"

"Stop it! Stop it, stop it..."

"We will never forget!"

"Stop it!!!"

The old man in front of him scratched his face, hoping that his face would return to normal. The young man in front of him froze. The future? The moment he heard that, he remembered one person.

That boy.

Before his eyes closed, Axel moved his head to look up. To the red sky, he used to see.

A beautiful sky full of stars and cloud wings.

Above the sky was a wing-shaped cloud, very wide and very beautiful. But her gaze was focused only on the person in front of her. Arrow after arrow fell like rain.

Looking at the broken arrows, it was obvious that there was resistance here.

Noah obeyed Amiley's words, she entered the room, but the letter on the table and the candy made Noah cheerful again, she read it and put the candy into her pocket. Feeling the sudden shaking, Noah was startled, but she opened the door and ran forward.

The letter gave her courage. Even if the courage was fake, she didn't mind.

You are me.

The rain stopped, but there was no bird song.

Just a rain that disappeared.

"Mom..."

Noah's vision filled with water. Amiley was standing there with an arrow in her shoulder. Even before she died, she immediately tried to turn her body around, she just wanted to survive.

5 minutes was enough.

As long as her magic could continue to activate.

"Mom! Mom!!!" Noah cried, trying to reach Amiley, but a root appeared and immediately pulled Noah back. Pulling her away.

"Mom! Huaa, Mom!" The same scream repeated over and over.

A portal opened right in the guest room.

Then the roots pushed Noah into the portal. The yellow flower slowly wilted and an inscription appeared as the petals fell.

Remember this phrase.

"Huu, huuaaa, Mom! Mom! Sob..." With reddened eyes, she could only see the writing on the petals. "I will kill them! All of them!" Noah immediately opened the letter Eriu had given her, her eyes watering, but she did not close them, reading the sentences one by one.

A hateful sentence that was the end of a prologue.

The end of them and their story.

Like the bursting of a bubble, things would never be the same again. The dove flapped its wings and arrived at the sea of blood. The colors did not match and were not in harmony.

The flame that resembled their ambition died in the black blood.

The contents of the demon box were not beautiful, but there was hope inside. A hope, a little light that illuminated Pandora with hope and truth.

Caw-caw!

The cawing of crows could be heard throughout the forest. Eriu panicked, sure that this demon wanted to make him look back.

"..." Fuck it, he had to go back now!

He turned his head quickly and immediately saw a mouth with teeth everywhere, like a leech.

"Ugh!" Feeling no pain, Eriu opened his eyes to look around. The smell of fire spread immediately. Surprised, Eriu opened his eyes to find himself standing in the forest where he usually stood.

The voices of people could be heard, although it was small, Eriu realized immediately, his feet ran towards the sound.

Somehow, he could hear the angry voice of Eros.

The Rain Flower that was in the pocket of his cloak fell out as he ran.

[Thanks for all your time.

If you need any help, just write to me!

I promise to help you solve the problem.

And tell Auntie to play with you more often.

You should be more honest, I'm sure Auntie will understand.

Like the Rain Flower, you gave me.

I really remember you saying that it means morning dew.

The morning dew that appears when we wake up means a new day,

So I will continue to hope for your happiness.]

Noah curled up and cried, holding the paper tightly.

Oh, you are the one I have been waiting for. When will you find me?

Even if 4 seasons change, you still can't find me.

I thought I would wither and die...

My love, my angel.

The butterfly emerged from its cocoon. The woman in the black veil immediately raised her hand to let the butterfly land on her hand.

A prologue tells the story of a joyful adventure and ends with a hateful scream.

Falling and hoping for sacrifice, blood red will guide you where justice stands firm.

Dancing among the flowers is a blue butterfly that lives for love.

Anger will continue to be remembered, as will your hatred for your standing in the present.

Reality will continue to weep amidst the broken clock. 

Are you happy with your ending?
