Chapter 600 – She and Her ■■ -3-

I know that person.

No, would it be correct to say that I knew it?

It was a feeling that could not be put into words just floating around in my head.

“···Sister’s residence.”

It was a title called without thinking.

In response, Dokgorin showed an expression that he had never shown to Roman and the goddess, and that he had never made since that day.

There, emotions, overwhelming joy, hesitation that could not be reached, regret that could not be fathomed, and various other emotions were melted in bright light and dark ink.

“You remember me… Me… This insignificant sister.”

Dokgorin’s voice shakes Lee Choa’s heart and the very foundation of his soul.

Ichoa bit her lip in the eruption of her emotions and stretched out her foot.

“Sister Lin…”

With each step, Lee Cho-ah and Dok Go-rin become closer.

Her steps with trembling legs lacked the balance she had built up through hard training, and there was no sign of strength.

Dokgo-rin muttered as he looked at Yeong-ah’s steps, which were in fact like baby steps.

“I’ve been thinking about what I should say when we meet face to face… Until this day. But it was all meaningless.”

Ichoa came right in front of her. And as the memory filled her mind, she hugged Dokgo Rin.

Only then do you let go of the emotions that explode out of you. Both of her hands were shaking.

“Why…! Why…!”

Hearing the crying voice, Dokgo-rin also carefully hugged Lee Cho-ah.

Even though there is uncontrollable anger and sadness, how weak the muscles are.

Still, this is a heartbreaking voice that breaks her heart.

“I’m sorry.”

“Why did you leave me alone… I even promised to stay with you…”

“I’m sorry. Even if I had a hundred mouths, I don’t have anything to say. I’m really sorry…”

Failure to keep the promise due to the Creator’s intervention. Even if something is blatantly unfair, I have no intention of making excuses right away.

The detailed story will be shared later.

“Uuuuu…”

Lin buried her head in her shoulder and gently stroked Ichoa’s short hair as she shed tears.

Roman, who was watching her, silently leaves her place.

It was a quiet step that would not have been noticed by anyone other than Dokgorin.

How much did Lee Cho-ah cry? As she cried, the headache that came over her was intense.

She slowly lifted her messed up face and met Dokgo Rin’s gaze.

“She’s grown a lot. She’s become a really beautiful lady.”

At the time when she was in the middle school, she was a child who was always concerned about her short body height and arms and legs, which made her look like she was called ‘Baepsae’, but now she is the same height as her.

Her growth, which I had never seen before in her life, was heartwarming.

“···.”

At that one word, Lee Choa’s eyes and the corners of her mouth trembled again.

Rin smiled faintly and wiped away the water from around her brother’s eyes with her hand.

“She is so tearful and emotional that she can be called a crybaby, but her mental strength is insurmountable to overcome any obstacle. No matter how much time passes, it remains the same.”

“Ooh, I’m not a crybaby…”

Ichoa’s tone and tone, unlike when she faced Roman and his group, did not have the stiffness she had built up in the special department.

Younger colors are sticking to it.

Dokgo-rin and Lee Cho-ah looked at each other for a long time.

There are a mountain of difficulties that need to be resolved through dialogue, but there are also quite a few issues that need to be resolved through emotional exchange.

After sharing her gaze, Lin raised the corner of her mouth and gently touched Lee Cho-ah’s cheek.

“This isn’t a good place to share good fortune. Will you follow me?”

Ichoa wiped her tears and snot and nodded her head.

Don’t ask me where I’m going She says she will follow wherever Rin goes.

Perfect!

When Dokgo Rin snapped her fingers, a doorway to another image opened.

This is not of martial arts. It is an image of a goddess currently sitting in Roman’s arms.

“Let’s go. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

“Yes…”

Dokgo Lin took Lee Cho-ah and her hand.

Just before moving like that, Lin looked out of the corner of her eye at the spot where Roman was standing.

If everything goes well, and you need a place to talk alone, borrow the image of the goddess.

Roman’s advice was to never take the image of her being painted in pure white without anything and making her eyes bleed in the first place.

It seems like I know the sensibility of this era well, so I’ll just listen to it for now… But hey! She made a snorting noise in astonishment.

··

··

“Wow…”

As soon as Ichoah set her feet on the image of her goddess, she expressed her admiration.

Indeed, it is an image created by the creator of a world. The lush and flourishing vegetation exudes green life, and the wind blowing from somewhere tickles the cheeks.

“It’s a suitable place for a walk.”

Animals living in the image of the goddess approached Ichoa and showed her interest.

Perhaps the girl had arranged it in advance, but from Rin’s point of view, she was grateful that her sister smiled.

Deer with colorful flowers on her antlers approach and smell Ichoa.

Lin took the embarrassed Ichoa’s hand and stroked her deer’s head.

“Please do as much as you like.”

“Ah…”

A small squirrel came down from the tree and sat on her shoulder.

When she stretched out her hand, round birds flew in and sat down, chirping and singing.

Ichoa, comforted by her animals and her cries gone, walked leisurely through the forest without knowing the way, holding on to her Dokgo Rin’s hand.

I was really worried about what to talk about first and what to ask first.

Ichoa finished her worries in about a hundred steps and opened her mouth. In the end, she does everything she asks.

“Sister Lin.”

“Speak.”

“Am I Lee Cho-ah? Or… Am I a rumor?”

Three letters that I have never forgotten.

When Rin heard her brother’s name for the first time in a long time, she answered calmly without hesitation.

“Don’t try to make distinctions like swords. Everyone is on their own.”

“Both of them are me… I see.”

If that’s the case for the sister-in-law, she immediately understands. That feeling clearly remains.

And then another hundred steps.

I don’t hesitate to ask the most curious questions.

“How has your sister-in-law been?”

Why did she disappear without saying a word, where and how did she stay, and why did we meet her only now?

It was a question that contained everything.

“Samae.”

“Yes.”

“It will be a bit of a long story to tell in words. Even if you listen to it, there will be some parts that are difficult to understand.”

Dokgo Rin’s purpose was the cornerstone of her story, but when Lee Choa heard those words, a flicker of anxiety appeared in Lee Choa’s eyes.

“Are we… Breaking up again?”

“The frequency may decrease depending on future decisions, but that is not the case. I will not tolerate such things anymore.”

A fortunate story.

Phew, Lee Choa let out a long sigh of relief and strengthened the hand he was holding so as not to let it fall.

“Then it doesn’t matter how long it takes. I want to hear everything.”

I feel the feeling of embracing everything. Those were words of sincere gratitude.

Where should I continue?

Dokgo-rin, who continued to think and assemble the sentence in a split second, cast his gaze forward and opened his closed lips.

“I am…”

I was chosen by the Creator.

Perhaps the word ‘choice’ was changed to a word that is pleasant to hear and can be considered comforting. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that they were selected for an experiment.

“One day, I opened my eyes and was greeted by a ceiling I had never seen before.”

“···.”

It was already a distant past and a thing of the past, but when I started mentioning it, it felt like my heart was being cut with a knife.

Even so, this pain is like a dull blade.

Now, to me, pain is just a one-dimensional phenomenon that is easy to endure.

In fact, the position of Samae who hears this is probably worse than mine.

So I continued the conversation as calmly as possible.

It was a really long story to explain in detail, but there were no blurry parts.

Since the day I started sharpening my sword to take revenge on my creator, every day has been like a vivid scar.

The explanation she tried to give as calmly as possible was filled with subtle emotions, and she couldn’t hold back the tears as she began to understand them.

He said he was sorry for blaming me for leaving without knowing that fact and continued to weep loudly.

The fact that as soon as they met, he ignored her joy and was swayed by her emotions and made a loud noise, was an obstacle in Lee Cho-ah’s heart.

“There is no need to worry so much. Isn’t it really the wicked sister-in-law who didn’t explain it to her sister-in-law?”

“Sister Lin… Ugh…”

After gently wiping her sister’s face with her flowing robes, Rin smiled and said, “I’m relieved.”

“It was a miserable day, but it was all a stepping stone to growth. And… From the moment she met that guy, fortune began to follow her.”

“If it’s him…?”

“Roman. As you know, he’s a special guy.”

Dokgo Rin dragged Ichoa blinking.

A small lake in the forest. She sat down so that the cool blue background caught her eye.

“When you calm down, let’s finish talking.”

“Yes…”

Stroke her head

Even though her appearance has changed, her round and pretty head is still the same, and it made me laugh.

The squirrel that followed the two left her fruit in front of Ichoa.

It’s as if I’ll give you this and tell you to cheer up.

My eyes were swollen and watery, but looking at them brought a smile to my face.

“Sister. Can I ask you one thing?”

“Of course.”

She picked up the fruit lying on the ground and rolled it in her palm.

Ichoa, confident in her mixed memories, asked with a smile that was slightly tinged with playfulness.

“You know that Sister Lin hates men, right? But how did she become friends with Roman?”

“···.”
