Chapter 163
“Lista, what should I do?”
When was that time? The place where I found Tureina was a village in the Lambres area.
It seemed to have been overrun by the forces of the Abyss before we arrived, but Keyes, with his keen sense of presence, discovered it hiding in a barrel.
He had a scruffy appearance covered in dirt, dust, and blood, and even when Listana Friede held out his hand kindly, he just ran away to a corner and cried quietly.
“We can’t keep leaving it here. I don’t know when they might come again. “We’ll have to leave it to the city.”
“Then Keyes will have to use some strength. “I don’t really like it this way, though.”
At that time, I may have felt a strange sense of kinship with that guy. Because I was able to see my old self in that little boy’s attitude and expression.
“You guys go first.”
Even though I wanted to die, it seemed like I was still alive and alive.
“huh?”
“I will take you. “It may take some time.”
What the dean did for me at that time was that I piled up firewood, started a fire with flame magic, and then took the meat out of the eye bag.
The other three just looked at me quizzically, but as the pepper-sprinkled meat slowly cooked and began to give off a delicious aroma, they gradually stopped crying and showed interest.
And from the stomach, which was so bare that it almost left the skin and bones, a growling sound came out, crying for life.
“Come here, aren’t you hungry?”
“… … ?”
“You idiot, don’t you know how many delicious things there are in the world? Since you lived in such a remote village, you probably couldn’t even taste the food properly, right? How sad would it be if you died without being able to eat it? “If I’m going to die, I should go on a food trip before I die.”
At first he didn’t come close, but that evening, and the next morning… … By lunchtime, she seemed to be on guard, but she quietly approached the fire.
“What is this? This is called ‘delicious.’ I’m just kidding… … It’s Lin’s special charcoal-grilled skewer, and three people might eat it and four of them might die… … .”
As he excitedly explained the cooking method while glancing under his nose, the little boy suddenly accepted the skewer.
“… … .”
He took a big bite, and tears welled up in his eyes.
And the tip of my nose turned cold when I saw them eating it indiscriminately, wondering if anyone would steal it.
– Baby, look at the sky.
Is it because I had the same reaction the day I first met the dean? Is that why I heard the voice of that day?
– All the sun and moon in the sky are shining for you and no one else. The food is made just for you.
– … … !
– Was it hard? There’s no need to be sad anymore. In this world where possibilities are infinite, your possibilities are also infinite. Now, follow me. This is not the place for you.
No matter how much I cleared my throat, I couldn’t say anything nice like the dean’s lady.
It’s not like that in the first place… … .
So I just pointed out the main points. The gist of the conversation with the dean’s lady.
“This is not the place you belong. Come with me. “I’ll take you somewhere you might be.”
It took another day to get the little boy to follow me, but he slowly began to follow me with his eyes becoming more alive.
One thing that was unusual was that he was unable to speak, whether due to psychological shock or congenital reasons.
Still, he seemed to be quite smart, so when he was told to do something, he understood it quickly and followed along.
“The truth will set you free. Do you know what this is? “It’s a famous quote from the founder of magic, Emitsa Page.”
And I decided to teach this little boy magic just like the dean had taught me.
The best gift that gave me value even though I had no value whatsoever.
Since I received it for free, I decided to give it to this guy for free as well.
“People must have value. You are worth nothing now. Not a single one! So stop whining and learn magic from me, okay?”
And he gave me a name.
Just as my grandmother gave me the name Spring Breeze.
“It seems like the dragon race lives up to its name. So I am special, really special! “I will give you a name.”
“… … ?”
“Tureina. As a verb, it means learning. It means learn well. If you don’t bother me and learn well, I will give you a better name.”
No matter how hard I tried, giving it a cool name like Spring Breeze made me cringe, so I gave it a rough name like that.
I can ask the dean or Friede to change it to a better name later.
As I was thinking that, the little boy’s mouth suddenly started to move a little.
“Tu, Turay, Turayna…” … ?”
That day was the first time I heard the child’s voice, clearer than the sky, with the color of the sky in early spring.
“what? “Could you tell?”
“No, no, now, now, I mean… … .”
“Ugh, it’s gotten more annoying. The already annoying guy will start chatting now. “If you bother me, I won’t leave you alone.”
Even though he grumbled like that, I automatically smiled as I watched him becoming brighter.
The colleagues who later rejoined Tureina warmly, and later, as he escaped from the city where he was supposed to be entrusted, he became a member of our party.
In particular, Fifi became so close that she always slept on Tureina’s light blue hair.
“Wait, this fight will be a bit long.”
“Hope, wait, wait.”
“Wait here, this mission is a sneak attack, so I can’t take you with me.”
Every time I came back as a corpse from the battle with the Abyss, Tureina always stayed by my side with a somewhat sad look in her eyes.
The kid who was fussy and said he would study magic harder and help me someday.
It seemed like there was one more goal to win in the fight against the abyss.
“Friede said that my main body is very damaged, so when I become an old man, I might not be able to use proper combat magic.”
“is it so?”
“So I was a little embarrassed. There are many people in the empire who consider me a thorn in their eyes. “How do you cook when those guys attack you?”
That was something I said without much thought, not because I was consulting on my concerns, but because I had nothing to say when I was on guard duty. But Tureina jumped up and pointed at his chest.
“I will protect you!”

“what?”
“I will protect you so that no one can lay a hand on you!”
“Protect, protect, Rin is a fear, Joobyeop, protect, protect.”
It was absurd.
I felt bad for giving Fifi something to laugh at, so I stuck the blade of my hand into the top of his head.
“Hey, don’t you know that it’s okay to be sane even if you’re rotten? No matter how old I become, I’m a million times stronger than you. What can I protect? I can barely use a 2-star spell anymore. “I am now the only Aquizard (5-star) wizard in the empire.”
“I will become stronger! A lot, even more than Sabu! So I won’t let anyone lay a finger on Sabu!”
“Hey, okay, give it a try. “If you don’t do well, you will be spanked in the ears without stopping.”
It was so absurd that I almost burst out laughing, but I couldn’t tell at the time whether it was really a laugh or a laugh born of pure joy.
From some point on the journey, Tureina was always by my side, and I didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable about it.
In fact, I was even thinking the same thing: how convenient it would be to have a handyman.
It wasn’t that I wanted to be with him more or anything, but I thought that the journey was slowly coming to an end and that I needed to decide on this guy’s future.
“Hey, you.”
At the end of the journey, it was somewhere in the desert where the summer night wind was blowing, and it was in the middle of the night where a bonfire was burning quietly.
While I was on watch, I quietly asked Tureina, who was studying magic next to me.
“When the journey is over, will you go to the empire with me?”
“Empire?”
“Who else would I entrust to a troublesome little boy like you? Friede? If that were the case, he would have written a book and scolded me for it. “The archmage of the hero’s party took care of it.”
“Recognition, recognition, recognition.”
“See, Fifi admitted it.”
“F-Friede, you might say that, but first of all, it’s not my time!”
“Cham, Cham, Cham Cham Cham Cham.”
“Pifi acknowledged this too.”
“Pifi, you!”
“There is a magic tower of the Osarius school in the northern part of the empire, but most of the people there are unscrupulous and ugly… … .”
Thinking about my classmates at the Tower of Magic, I smiled helplessly, but fortunately, Tureina didn’t seem to see it because she was busy grabbing with Fifi.
“They’re pretty good guys. “He was very kind to me, even though I was an orphan and a mean person.”
“is it so?”
“You make the decision. Of course, whatever you choose, I’ll go there. my… … “It’s the home of my heart.”
Tureina seemed to have something to worry about, but she kissed her lips a few times, but ultimately didn’t say anything.
I feel really fortunate that I didn’t get that answer.
The next day, in the pouring rain, as I headed to the final battlefield, the words I left behind as I left him behind became my last words.
“Wizards don’t cry. “Others look down on me.”
Lord, my time stopped there that day, trapped in the cold ice.
… … … … …
… … … …
… …
…
The day Lin was carried on a desert wheeled carriage made by master tinker Nils Blanz.
“Lynn? Lynn? Lin?”
As if he couldn’t understand the situation, Fifi flew over in a daze, pecked at the ice, and called the boy’s name.
The girl wearing a hat just watched the scene blankly. Because I can’t believe what’s happening right in front of me, I don’t want to believe it.
The three heroes who returned with their bodies miserably wet with rain and blood and tears hugged the girl and sobbed.
“I’m sorry, Tureina, Fifi, Lin, Lin… … .”
The flower of life that had bloomed once again withered that day, and the clock hands that were moving toward the future also stopped.
“Come with me, Tureina. I may not be Rin’s double, but… … “I will pass on everything I have to you.”
In the frozen time, for the spring breeze that blew into her life, the girl stayed up all night learning witchcraft from the Hwaryong shaman and eventually became the youngest witch.
The girl had never liked witchcraft and magic in her long and tiresome life.
At that time, I was shy and embarrassed, so I just focused on math, holding on to the one hope of being able to tell you the answer I couldn’t say.
wherever you go.
I’m going there too.
I walked through endless darkness, looking only for that one small, simple hope. however.
“Just wait? S, Master… … “What do you mean by that?”
“I said I would wait until the Lord’s sub-preparation class is over. “She said Rin would come back, so just wait.”
“What is that… … We have to help! “The Lord’s sub-precepts are not perfect, so even after 10 years, I still can’t wake up!”
“Lord, the sub-division class is perfect. “The fact that he can’t wake up means that Rin’s body and soul haven’t healed yet.”
“It’s not perfect.”
“Tureina, are you saying you are a better wizard than Rin? That was something Lin and I made together. Please wait calmly, Tureina. Lynn will come again. “He is a child who always keeps his promises.”
Could it be that he would listen to me if I became a being that surpasses the Archmage Rindo and the Fire Dragon Priestess?
In the end, I couldn’t hear the answer.
By the time it was determined that he had reached that level of existence, Master had already disappeared somewhere.
70 years since the clock stopped… … .
The girl was already alone. Lista and Keyes die, and Friede and Fifi disappear without a trace.
Alone in this frighteningly vast world… … .
“Hehehe, you want to wake up the frozen kid? It’s not that difficult. “I guess I’ll have to learn some different magic instead.”
I thought I had become an outstanding being, but in the end, I was just a being whose time stopped before the girl’s weak heart could grow.
The abyss dug into the gap between the girl who was left alone, and she was no longer the child with sky-blue hair. Both body and mind.
… … … …
… … …
… …
…
The world shook with a roar.
The ‘little boy’, who used to have light blue hair but now has dark blue hair, took his last breath.
Someone was crying, looking down at them.
Who could it be?
My eyesight was damaged, so I could not see the face clearly, only the texture of the soul.
I couldn’t remember the soul’s name, but I could definitely remember that he was a very precious person.
I opened my lips and tried to say something.
However, the time left was too short to convey the words that I had cherished my whole life.
I wanted to meet again in the present, share the past, and discuss the future.
As my body, mind, and head were turning into blank slate, I no longer had the strength or qualifications to discuss such things.
so that.
Therefore, I only moved my hands with the last remaining power of my death.
He untied the hat’s strings and placed the old hat on the crying person’s head.
The last fragment of memory remaining in my heart, the words I desperately wanted to return on the day we met again.
The words we wanted to say to hide the tears from each other’s faces on the day we meet again.
Wizards don’t cry.
Yes?
The old girl moved her lips to convey the trembling of her heart and smiled, showing her front teeth… … Her arm, which had covered her hat, fell helplessly to the ground.
After just a little while, the sun parrot craned its neck and cried bitterly.
The boy’s eyes widened, and then both eyebrows rolled up towards the forehead, and at the same time, the world became hazy.
Rain fell from the boy’s face as he closed his disciple’s eyes, which he could not close with a smile, with his shaking hands.
I got down, got down, got off again.
Now, I had to go.
To correct the mishap caused by the tomboy student as a teacher.
It was when the boy finally stood up that the scroll that was tied with a cotton string around the old girl’s waist was undone.
A long sacred scroll was released from the ceiling under the dripping rain.
That holy name, the creative psalm.
The scriptures written there rose with a quiet radiance and seeped into the boy’s left hand with a mysterious heat and omnipotent power.
