Chapter 73 – In the Twilight Sky

In a quiet atmosphere, the Ferris wheel started without any conversation.

I need to talk to Rumia…

We couldn’t talk, perhaps because we were ashamed of each other, and we just watched the outside in the ferris wheel slowly going up into the sky.

Even Rumia, who was shy about riding the ferris wheel with her at first, was engrossed in watching the labyrinthine city from above her sunset sky.

He didn’t express any exclamation, but his expression showed it all.

She looked completely different from when she first met Lumia, when she didn’t show any expression.

Until then, she always stuck to her expressionless expression and focused only on efficiency, but now her expression reveals what she is thinking.

Since that was originally said to be Rumia’s personality, maybe that was the real face of the other Rumia girl I fell in love with.

No, it would not be correct to say that it is different.

She is her and her Rumia is Rumia.

It was only because they were together that they were called Rumia.

But I’m more familiar with that name.

She, too, said nothing of what she called Rumia.

Did they say that the distinction is meaningless now that they have been mixed together?

I looked around with a small smile as I looked at Rumia, who was absorbed in her gaze outside.

The inside of the ferris wheel was narrow.

He seems to be sitting opposite me because he’s shy, so it would be better to step up from my side at times like this.

I wondered if I could step in, but I shook my head.

There is nothing wrong with each other, but there is no conversation due to the atmosphere, and I just need to approach.

Deciding what to do, I stood up hesitantly and approached Rumia and sat next to her.

As soon as I sat down, Rumia, who had been looking outside, was startled and turned to me.

A smile flowed out of my eyes that were full of doubts and at the same time surprised.

As she seemed to be contemplating what to do, she channeled her magic into her ring, created her drawing board, and showed it to me.

– Wouldn’t it be nice to be on the other side to watch it too?

From the outside, if you want to look outside, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to sit across from each other?

I could clearly see her thoughts in it.

Really, he was so innocent that he could see everything he was thinking.

His body, which had been trembling with tension just before, calmed down.

I answered with a smile.

“I am here because I want to be with you.”

– Ah..

Rumia, who looked surprised at my words for a moment, turned her head shyly.

That look is really…

It was so cute.

I laughed and leaned over to see what she was looking at.

At first she was uncomfortable with the fact that she had to watch it, but she soon agreed that she couldn’t do it.

No, on the other hand, he seemed to be enjoying himself.

The view of the city was completely different from the ones I had seen so far.

It was the first time I had seen a city filled with unknown magic tools, having only seen a city densely packed with walls and stone buildings.

But I wasn’t interested in that city.

More than that, I wanted to talk to Rumia.

But I didn’t know how to talk.

If he hadn’t said anything just before because he didn’t want to break the mood, now he couldn’t even speak to him even if he wanted to.

Because I didn’t know how to start the story.

What do you say?

Shall we ask if the uncomfortable mind is okay?

No, it seemed like it would be good to ask basic questions first to continue the conversation.

I hesitated and asked cautiously.

“Did you enjoy your day today?”

Rumia, who was looking outside at my question, turned her head and looked in my direction.

– Yeah… It was so much fun.

And he showed me the drawing board.

It seems to be working well since I gave it to you.

Originally, she would not have even heard her voice, but now I was happy to see her responding to every voice that called her.

I felt sorry for her who couldn’t always hear her and couldn’t speak.

So, the moment I arrived in this city, I always thought of making her a magical tool that could assist her.

In the past, I couldn’t do it because I didn’t think about it or that I could make something like that, but I think it’s fortunate that I can do it now.

“I can’t hear what they were talking about inside..”

– It doesn’t matter if I tell you.. I just heard an explanation about the things I was thinking wrong. And things that had been kept in the past have been released.

Rumia said to me with a relaxed expression.

Is it.

If so, that was fortunate.

I was worried they might actually be fighting, but it didn’t seem to happen.

I let out a sigh of relief.

“Actually, I was nervous when I opened the image world.”

– ?

Rumia tilted her head.

“Maybe I’m having a harder time than before…”

Isn’t it the same as having your body taken away?

Rumia had explained it that way.

She would be angry if someone who suddenly took her body, even if it was herself, was using her body at will.

But the Rumia she was in her was not.

I felt it was great.

“I consider myself very fortunate.”

Now I don’t have to see her suffering.

I was happy enough with just that.

I said with a smile.

After staring blankly at me for a while, Rumia lowered her head.

– Warrior.

I noticed that Rumia’s mood had changed at the sound of Rumia’s voice telepathically, not from the drawing board.

Because when she used telepathy, most of the cases were serious.

– You really… Came back because you wanted to save me…?

Saying that, Rumia lifted her head and looked up at me.

He was looking at me with a serious expression on his face, but on the other hand, he didn’t want to be abandoned.

What are you asking for the obvious?

If it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t have thought of returning to the past like this.

It was a meaningful sacrifice, he must have spent the rest of his life thinking to himself like that.

Even if it was hard, I had to come back to save her who sacrificed for us, who sacrificed to save her all.

“I came back looking only at you. I will definitely save you this time.. With that thought, with the right of wish obtained in return for sealing the demon king..”

“…”

I don’t want to see her suffering face any more.

Her heart ached so much when I saw her slowly crumbling in her countless attempts.

– I see..

Rumia couldn’t hold her tongue any longer and turned her head to look outside of her.

I also didn’t have the confidence to break the atmosphere full of silence, so I just followed Lumiya and looked outside.

It wasn’t the sweet atmosphere I had imagined at first, but it was enough to see Rumia’s true heart and her relaxed face.

Yes this is what it was

I sincerely thought so.

– Warrior.

“..?”

In an instant, hair fluttered in my field of vision.

It felt like something was hugging me, and at the same time, I felt a warm, moist feeling on my lips.

A fragrant smell wafted from the flowing blue hair.

The sensations in my mouth let me know what had happened to me.

“Town..?”

I was kissing

She was kissing me with her arms around me.

But it didn’t go any further.

It wasn’t deeper than when they mixed their bodies together.

After a moment of ecstasy, as if she had been in her dream, her breathing became a little rough, and she opened her mouth and smiled.

Her flushed cheeks illuminated by the sunset, her amethyst-like eyes shining with excitement and pleasure, and the sound of her gasping for breath.

I couldn’t speak for her any longer and looked down at her with her blank expression.

– How was it?

I was in a daze for a while at her voice asking me, and then I smiled and closed my eyes.

It was sweet.

It didn’t have a strong taste, but I think it was a wonderful kiss that gave me a sense of enchantment and sweetness.

I giggled and lifted her amused back into her arms and pulled her towards me.

“So a little more…”

I wanted to be with her a little longer.

I kissed her once more.

This time, it’s a little thicker, like if you’ve tasted the appetizer before, you’re tasting the main dish now.

I hugged her tighter and savored everything about her.

Hoping the ferris wheel would run a little longer.
