The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 91: Festival (6)
“Was it really that urgent?”
“Kreuk- keuk- keureok-”
Only foam of blood came out of the mouth of the woman who was biting the spilled intestines instead of answering.
However, Sirin continued talking without paying attention.
“You, the main axis of the Magic Tower, were you so hasty that you didn’t even recognize the power of the original woman and cursed her?”
“Keureok- keureok-”
“Or else.”
The corners of Sirin’s mouth went up.
“Did you also receive a blessing? Pirma.”
The neatly folded body of the woman, Pirma, trembled.
At the same time, the corners of Sirin’s mouth went up even more.
“This is terrible. I don’t know if you wanted it or not... Let’s hear your story.”
The magical power that poured out from Sirin’s body covered the alley.
The blood from the residents' bodies seeped back in, and the pale complexion returned.
"If even one of the residents had died... I wouldn't have given you a chance."
Pirma was the same.
The folded and crumpled body stretched out, and the spilled internal organs returned to their places.
The shattered jaw grew back, and the blood that burst out seeped into the body.
Pirma, who had been sitting blankly for a while, soon groped her body madly and retched several times.
"So, what's the answer?"
"Huh... Whew, da, you... what the heck... what the heck are you...?"
"Pirma, just answer the question I asked you. Did you receive the blessing because you wanted it? Or was there another reason?"
"...If you, say-"
"That's fine."
"What...?"
"I swear on my heart. No matter what truth you tell, you will never die.”
As soon as Shirin’s oath ended, a black thread rose from near her heart.
The thread flowed down Shirin’s arm and seeped into Pirma’s heart.
“Heart, Jang...? Ser... You really don’t-”
“Oh, you really talk too much. Do you want to break your jaw again?”
“Ugh... Ah, no...”
“And, the words are too short. Should I stretch my tongue to make it longer?”
“I... I’m sorry.”
“Okay, now tell me something.”
Pirma, who had been feeling his chest and chewing his lips for a long time, slowly moved his lips.
“My little brother... is being held captive in Erden...”
“So?”
“He’s, sick... and... fragments of the end are growing from his body... like that...”
“Hmm, do you know the cause?”
“...Erden.”
“You know it well. But why have you been stuck there until now and not thought of coming out?”
“There is no one else who can stop the disease besides Erden... So, I had no choice-”
Shirin let out a shallow sigh and crouched down, meeting Pirma’s eyes.
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
“...I, I have never killed anyone myself.”
“Do you intend to pay the price?”
“I will accept it as long as my younger sibling survives.”
“But why are you so dirty-mouthed?”
“...That, that... I, I, I-”
“What, that’s fine. Do you want to save your younger sibling?”
“...Yes.”
“The elders are all the same, aren’t they?”
“Yes...”
“Matopju... Serdo is the same?”
“Yes... Lord Matap too...”
“Is that so...”
Sirin smiled bitterly and got up from her seat.
“It’s all a lie.”
“Ah... Shit.”
[Disappear.]
Kkwaddeuddeuk-
In an instant, Pirma’s body, folded, crumpled, and distorted, seeped into the hole that had appeared in the air.
“Matap... Matap... I have to go quickly.”
Sirin snapped her fingers while recovering all the magical power spread around her.
“Ser... That brat is going to have a hard time.”
*****
Rubia and I were speechless for a while.
It may have been because we were shocked by Sirin’s power, but I couldn’t speak for a different reason.
‘You should never rely on stats alone.’
Sirin’s last words, heard as if flowing before our bodies were moved to the dormitory. Words that people in this world would never know.
Words that I shouldn't know and don't want to tell.
Words that remind me once again.
Shirin knows what kind of world this is.
She knows what kind of being I am.
Maybe, she's the same being as me.
She knew me before she met me.
Rubia, Charlotte, Hephaestus, Yuria.
She knew them all.
In the story of the game, there was no 10th Master.
The 10th Master was a player.
It's always been that way.
Does that mean Shirin is a player?
Then... what am I?
A character in this game?
An NPC?
Yes.
I didn't have the arrogant thought that I was the main character.
But I didn't think that I was worthless either.
Because I'm an outsider.
Because I've seen the end of this world.
Because many things have happened around me. Many people died, and many currents were created.
But.
I wasn't the only one in that current.
Rubia was there too.
That means.
The center of the incident, the center of the current, isn't me.
Does that mean Rubia?
Am I a being that has no need?
An NPC that exists everywhere without any reason?
An ancillary who exists to make the main character shine?
If Rubia abandons me.
If Rubia doesn't exist next to me.
Does that mean I no longer have a reason to exist?
Then, Sirin, the player.
Why did you say you would be my teacher?
Why did you say I had to become the sky?
Why on earth did you say such incomprehensible things?
Because I'm right next to Rubia?
Because we've built up affinity and become close?
Or.
There was nothing left around me.
It wouldn't have been strange if I died at any time.
I was like a pile of ashes left behind.
Even if I disappear, no one will look for me.
Even if I die, no one will care about me.
To use and throw away me, the trash?
Or else.
Because I need 'me', not me?
Without needing my ego.
Because I just want strong power?
No.
No.
I don't want to be abandoned.
And I don't want to be left alone like that.
Even if I have to die, I want to die next to Rubia.
I want to exist.
I want to live.
That's why.
"Don't throw me away..."
"... Yes?"
"I... I'll work hard. No... No. I'll do well. I, I can do better than I am now."
"Noah?"
"Anything... Anything, I'll do anything for Rubia. I... I can even throw away my life. If you tell me to crawl on the floor, I'll crawl. If you tell me to lick your feet, I'll lick them. Anything, anything, I can do. I can do it... So, so, please. Please.”

Her trembling legs couldn’t support her body and collapsed.
Her body fell to the floor.
She didn’t even have the strength to hold onto her greatsword.
All she could do was crawl on the floor ugly.
She crawled dizzily and grabbed Rubia’s feet.
She rubbed her cheek against her feet.
She bowed her head.
What if my dirty bodily fluids got on Rubia’s shoes.
On the protagonist’s body?
She swallowed hard and buried her face in the floor.
She begged carefully, slowly.
She begged.
She begged, begged, begged.
“Don’t leave me alone... Please, please... Please.”
You can curse at me.
You can hit me.
You can hurt me.
You can make me miserable, shameful.
You can tie me up and make me crawl on the ground.
It’s okay if I cut off my limbs and carry them around.
Please don’t ignore me.
Also, I don’t want to experience that hell again.
Please, please.
I’m begging you like this.
“...Noah.”
I can hear Rubia’s trembling voice.
Is she angry?
Why? Why?
Because I’m dirty?
Is it because I’m crawling on the ground like this, dirty?
I don’t know.
Because I can’t see in front of me.
Because I can’t see anything.
Because I can’t picture it.
I don’t know.
“Okay, I was wrong. I was wrong...”
Rubia’s foot, which I was barely holding onto, falls from my hand.
My sweaty hands are clammy.
“Raise your head.”
Her voice is fierce.
I guess I was dirty.
I wiped the sweat right away.
I rubbed it on the floor.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Rubia’s hand grabbed my wrist. The other hand touched my chin.
I was forcibly pulled up.
My face was lifted.
“Noah, it’s okay. It’s okay, calm down.”
Rubia roughly pulled my body.
The arms that were tightening fiercely were squeezing my body.
“I, did wrong... uh, yo. Lu, Lubia... I’ll, I’ll do well...”
“Open your mouth.”
“Yes, yes...?”
“Open your mouth.”
“Ah, ah...”
A lukewarm, slippery substance fell on my tongue.
Peach flavor, jelly.
“Chew.”
I chewed slowly as I was told.
“You did well.”
The rough movements.
The fierce arms.
Changed to soft and gentle.
“Again, ah.”
“Ugh... uh... ah, ah...”
“What flavor is it this time?”
“Ugh, yuck... ta, strawberry...”
“That’s right. Chew it well and swallow it.”
I barely held onto my hiccuping body and swallowed the jelly.
Meanwhile, Rubia wiped the dirty things that flowed on my face.
“Are you calming down now?”
“Ugh... uh, uh...”
“Not enough...”
The hand that had been gently stroking my head pulled it tightly.
A hug- A soft feeling enveloped my face.
“I don’t know why Noah says that.”
My voice trembled.
“I don’t know why he did that.”
Behind the softness, a loud heartbeat could be heard.
“Still, I can tell you one thing for sure.”
The hand that had been stroking my head slowly lowered and supported the back of my neck.
“Absolutely, that would never happen.”
Rubia’s voice became closer.
“No matter what happens, I won’t leave Noah alone.”
The breath he exhaled became thicker.
“Even if you go, I’ll hold on and not let you go. As long as I live, you have to stay by my side for the rest of your life.”
Their foreheads touched.
“Don’t go anywhere, don’t look away, don’t even think about anything else.”
Next, his nose.
“Only stay by my side, only look at me"
“Just think about it.”
And then, everything falls apart.
“Uh, how... how, yea... how do you believe... Rubia, Rubia abandoned me- ugh...?!”
Their lips met.
He squeezed his tightly shut lips and came in.
He knocked on the locked door.
I felt strength in the hand that was supporting my neck.
The arm wrapped around ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) my waist tightened even more.
As if telling me to open my mouth.
I bit my lower lip.
My lips, unable to resist the pressure that had thickened, parted.
My tongue pushed into the thinly opened gap.
Forcibly, gently. Swiping my gums, pressing down on the roof of my mouth.
As if telling me not to forget this moment for the rest of my life.
As if everything I had was my own.
Closing my tongue.
Without a moment to breathe.
Deeply.
