I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

8. Bianca del Castana – 11

“…Cain, you’re that, no way…”

Seeing the blue aura rising from Cain’s sword, Bianca raised her voice without realizing it. The emotion in her eyes now was neither surprise nor bewilderment. The only emotion I felt from her was shock.

“You can’t believe you are converting your own life energy into an aura form and using it?”

Yes. Aura is the power that, after extremely arduous training, the life energy within the body is transformed into a material form capable of influencing the present world. In other words, even if the aura was not awakened, anyone who could draw their own life energy could use power similar to the aura.

In fact, in many schools of swordsmanship, there were at least one or two techniques that triggered the latent power of a principle similar to that used by Cain now. What Cain was currently doing was nothing more than changing that method into a more sophisticated form by applying ‘Flowing Stars’. However, that did not mean that what Cain was doing was normal behavior.

‘I’ll be scolded by the princess later.’

First of all, the blue aura that Cain is currently expressing was similar to an aura, but it was not an aura at the same time. Compared to the real Aura, the level was very low, and the life energy was consumed twice as much, but the destructive power was less than half.

Crucially, those who awakened the aura did not consume their own life energy even if they used the aura, but if they used this technique to express the aura in an expedient way, the life energy consumed never returned. In other words, it was nothing more than a mad thing to cut down on one’s own lifespan.

That’s why the princess who taught him this technique went so far as to warn him that he should never use it unless it was an emergency situation that brought him to the brink of death.

…But what can I do? If he hadn’t used this expedient, the fight between him and Bianca would not have even come to fruition in the first place. It’s not like he liked it so much that he didn’t use it this way.

“…I couldn’t help it. Unless I use this method at least, I don’t even have the right to stand on the same battlefield as you. In order to fight on an equal footing with you, Bianca…”

“Are you really crazy?”

Interrupting Cain, Bianca screamed at him in a voice full of rage. Now her face was just full of worry and concern for him.

“Did you really want to die and go crazy? Why are you doing something stupid like this? This is crazy. No one knows how much of your lifespan was consumed in that single attack just now. day? one week? or a year? Do you, does your life feel so cheap? You really…”

Bianca’s hands trembled, and then she collapsed onto the floor as if her legs had lost strength.

“…Really, I could die from that…”

“…..”

As Cain kept his mouth shut at her words, Bianca bit her own lips tightly and muttered this.

“You are really stupid. He’s like a bastard. To stop me, you even use your own life as a weapon and shield. Even so, there is not a single regret reflected in you now. Cain.”

That man was such a dog. Bianca never knew. I couldn’t understand. I was just confused. Why is that man acting like this? Why are you fighting against yourself? What on earth is it that you want to pursue, even at the cost of your own lifespan?

“Then, can I take that as a sign of stopping here? If you are willing to back down, I will stop here too.”

But the next moment, Bianca felt a rush of heat in her head at Cain’s casual words.

“…Are you willing to take your life and negotiate with me?”

Cain doesn’t respond to Bianca’s words. His attitude was only seen as a silent affirmation to Bianca.

“…bastard.”

Angry. From deep inside, hatred begins to creep up. I didn’t like it. And I hated it so much. He hated Cain standing in front of him like this, and he also hated Cain who didn’t think of him. The man who had been so lovely looked so hateful.

“…Bianca. I am just doing what I can at this moment.”

As soon as those words flowed out of Cain’s mouth, Bianca’s reason cut off.

“…bad bastard.”

That man must have been a real son of a bitch. And, he must have been a crazy bitch as he loved such a son of a bitch so much. Now I was just fed up and hated it. The one who still loves him even though he is in this situation, the one who does not know what he is thinking, the one who can be said to be the culprit of everything, Aria, everything!

“…no.”

I knew it well. Had to stop here. If he insisted on his will beyond this, he might really die at the end of his lifespan. Her intelligent and cool-headed reason was advising her that she should yield a step here.

…but her heart was never like that. At this moment, Bianca realized. In this world, there are options that you have no choice but to choose even though you know it’s foolish. Even though I know very well that I will regret it like crazy later, there are times when I have no choice but to be faithful to the feelings of the moment.

At this moment, her instinct as a woman was whispering something in her ear. Without realizing what she was talking about, Bianca opened her mouth and let out a terribly selfish remark.

“No, no. No!”

“I won’t yield this time. No, I won’t. This time, I will never bend my will.”

“…Yes, Bianca. I respect your will as well.”

Despite Bianca’s verbal abuse, Cain agrees to her words without blinking an eye. To her, his reaction was just too miserable. If I had been angry, I wouldn’t have been so miserable. To you, I wonder if a woman has no meaning, it only hurts.

Misery becomes sorrow, and sorrow becomes anger. Bianca gnashed her teeth without realizing it, and fiercely raised the mana of her whole body.

“…Okay, let’s go somewhere until the end. Cain.”

At this moment, I just hate you so much.

And Cain sees Bianca like that and once again makes up his mind.

Now, it was time to put an end to everything that was intertwined with each other.

****

Ku-gu-gu-gu-!

Lightning was pouring down on the battlefield. The ultra-high fever white flame was burning. A fierce gale was blowing. A bitter cold that seemed to freeze everything was blowing.

However, her magic does not reach Cain. At this moment, the magic she poured out did not reach him, who had gained enormous physical abilities at the cost of burning his own life. No, it was not the right word to say that it could not be reached. Even if the magic hit him directly, he got up again like a ttogi and attacked her again.

“…why.”

Why can’t I reach you? My flame, my thunderbolt, my freeze, my flash, why don’t they reach you? And why are you not falling down?

“What the hell, why?”

I started to feel the fear of what could make you move like that. His face was only serious. He was looking at me with his eyes unwavering. Even though his whole body was torn, burned and wounded, he never stopped coming towards me.

“…do it in moderation. That’s it. please stop Stop it, Cain!”

Without even recognizing what kind of voice she was speaking, Bianca eventually held out the strongest hand she could use.

The sigh of the white flame. The strongest unique magic that Bianca del Castana can use. The magic power left in her now was less than 10% of what it was originally, but even so, the sigh of the white flame fired by mobilizing all the remaining magic power had enough power to shatter him lightly.

“…Are you finally coming?”

Cain, who had muttered so much, gave strength to the sword he was holding, and shot unwaveringly toward the white sun that was approaching him.

ugh-

The flow of life energy is concentrated on the sword body. At the end of refinement and refinement, the name of the technique he wants to implement based on the blue aura that contains power equal to that of an aura is sakwol (朔月). It was the strongest technique that he could use at the moment, having figured out how to operate it after struggling with Lucian von Tournisen.

“Goes.”

Cain’s eyes stare straight into Bianca’s eyes, which are filled with guilt and anger toward him from beyond.

…sorry. In fact, I was guessing what your feelings for me were. Maybe, I was thinking that you might like me.

But, I didn’t want to hurt you. Anyway, I thought we couldn’t continue. I thought that even if we fell in love, we wouldn’t be able to jump over the many obstacles standing between us.

So, I pretended not to know. I pretended not to understand anything. Desperately, he only deceived his own mind. I told myself that it was the best path for you.

But I was wrong. After my ridiculous insistence, we ended up hurting each other. I got hurt. Both of us, somewhere, was broken.

So it didn’t. I was stupid. I shouldn’t have acted like that. Even if it meant hurting you, I should have clearly conveyed my feelings. After leaving you alone for so long, I shouldn’t have let you fall apart.

i hugged you made love to you However, it was not sympathy. As my perfect doctor, I held you in my arms.

The past 40 days with you weren’t bad. Even though the beginning was forced, and I didn’t mix my intentions, looking back like this, it seems to have been a good memory. In all your time with me, you only loved me, and I accepted your love. At the end, I made love to you.

…But, it seems that that alone was not enough. Compared to the terribly long night you had to spend alone, last night with you seemed awfully short. That’s why, even now, I’m trying to make up for it. It’s a bit late, but at this moment, I’m trying to look only at you, throwing off everything that ties me up. And at the end, I want to love you.

aang-!

The new moon sent by Cain split Bianca’s white flame sigh in two. A mere human sword cut the sun itself in half. Seeing the sight with her own eyes, she couldn’t believe it, Bianca stopped breathing without realizing it.

Only then did Bianca realize. Inside Cain’s sword, everything directed towards her was nestled. It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t life, it wasn’t anger. There was only compassion, comfort, and love for her. At this moment, his whole heart was only for her.

The moment he met his straight eyes, she understood everything. The blow that Cain had just sent, the blow he sent towards himself with his own life, was only for her in this world. He was giving himself love. That fact made her ecstatic.

“…Ahh.”

Tears well up. At this moment, he was looking only at himself, forgetting everything he was carrying and everything he wanted to be carrying. It was just something to be happy about.

Coming. His sword, which cut the white flame’s sigh in half, approached him. The place his sword aims for is probably his own heart. but do not avoid No, I couldn’t avoid it. The end of a long journey over the past 30 years. Now was the moment when her love for him was reciprocated. So, how could I avoid his sword?

“…Cain.”

Unknowingly, I closed my eyes tightly. I imagined my own death. But, I couldn’t help it. Because he did a lot of bad things to him. Aria, as the girl said, she is a bad woman. So, even if you are punished, there is nothing you can do about it.

However, even if it all ended like this, I thought it wouldn’t be such a bad ending. Because at the last moment, he received a lot of love from him. Because I was able to realize that I was loved so much by someone and that I loved someone desperately.

Suddenly, a childhood promise that we shared one day passes through her mind.

That promise to be together when we grow up. Did he keep his promise, or did he fail to keep it?

“…ah.”

…but the sword didn’t stick to her. Just before the sword touched her body, it stopped moving.

trembling-

Soon, he slammed his sword on the floor as if throwing away garbage.

“…why?”

she asks. He obviously wanted to kill him, he wanted to hurt him, but he did a lot of bad things to him, so why didn’t he kill him?

“…I told you from the beginning. I was just trying to stop you I had no intention of seriously fighting you in the first place.”

And, above all.

“I didn’t hug you. So, you are my girl She is my woman, whom I will be responsible for the rest of my life.”

Saying that, Cain gently hugged her as if stroking a precious treasure.

“…I’m sorry. Bianca. Because I didn’t notice your pain. And thank you. For loving me all along.”

The moment he heard his words, warm tears flowed down her cheeks. I felt as if something in my chest had been relieved. In other words, it felt like being saved. It was such a warm feeling that there was someone beckoning her to come here, since she had nowhere to go.

No, at this moment, she must have been saved. It must have been that someone like herself had received permission to live in this world, to be loved by someone.

“…Sorry sorry. I’m really sorry, Cain…”

Hearing Bianca cry, Cain slowly wipes away her tears.

“I’m okay. So, don’t cry. Bianca.”

At his awkward consolation, Bianca could feel her heart warming and comforting.

Just remembering what he said to her made her realize that he was loving her.

Like that, she gently closed her eyes and fell into his arms.
