28. Dangerous Street (2)

“… ….”

Awkward air flows.

One second equals one hour.

A street that touches the tip of your nose.

In that state, I froze while holding Elijah’s waist.

My heart beats wildly.

‘Be still… !’

Contrary to his noisy inner thoughts, his face stiffened.

I feel like I have to say something, but my mouth won’t come out.

Unlike me, Elijah seems calm.

It’s just that she stares at me obsessively, wondering what she’s thinking.

Delicate sweetness.

The unique scent of Elijah.

You can get used to it, but you can’t get used to it.

Especially at times like this….

“Kiuuung-?”

Uel suddenly shook his head.

It is to pretend to ride and ask why it does not ride.

“Ah, uh, uh uh…. Yes, uh….”

I hurriedly but carefully placed Elijah on Yuel.

I looked at her side and sat her lightly in a sitting position.

Unlike me in her flustered state, Elijah looked at me with calm and tenacious eyes.

‘I almost died…. She almost died anyway…. She lived thanks to Yuel….’

The childishly beating heart does not subside at all.

Elijah, who was looking at me, looked around her sneakily.

“Extremely high….”

She mumbled as she clung to her saddle, perhaps feeling uneasy.

“To ride on the back of a creature with free will is absolutely dangerous….”

I laughed at the appearance that was not like Elijah.

My heart has calmed down.

“Wouldn’t UL be heavy?”

She gently touched Yuel’s horn as if to soothe her.

I heard that it was light…. No. Let’s not think

“You don’t have to worry because I’m fine even after carrying the heavily armed me.”

“Ugh….”

Unlike her, who is still not relieved, Yuel is a little excited.

It’s the first time I’ve ridden Elijah, so I’m in a good mood.

‘Cute guy. I lived thanks to you.’

If it wasn’t for Yuel, he would have been stuck for the rest of his life because he didn’t know what to do.

I stroked his chin a few times and stepped on the stirrup.

Grab the saddle and climb.

After stepping on the opposite stirrup, a rather embarrassing picture emerges.

Elijah, who was sitting next to her, was completely trapped in my arms.

Besides, I’m spreading my legs….

Putting aside my nonsense thoughts, I told Elijah her precautions.

“… It can be dangerous when running, so hold tight. You can grab Yuel Horn, or grab my arm or body.”

“… Huh.”

“I’m leaving.”

He knocked Yuel’s horn twice.

It’s a starting signal.

Elijah flinched as soon as Yuel stepped out of her.

Then he hugs my waist tightly.

‘Good idea….’

I just patrolled the surroundings.

I couldn’t find Richard in the woods.

‘If that’s the case, I’ll look around the field, and if it’s still not there, I’ll have to go back right away.’

“I’ll speed it up.”

Elijah silently nodded her head.

Yul started running.

Elijah hugged me around the waist and stiffened.

‘It must be scary at first.’

Yuel runs fast even in the forest.

So, he squeezes his way through the crack in the thick tree.

It’s a skill that even an ordinary horse can’t imitate.

I was also scared at first.

How nervous I was because I was afraid I would drive it into a tree.

I’m used to it now.

I took Elijah by the waist with one hand and had him lean against me.

It was only because it was more stable.

I have no other intentions. Really.

Uel runs out of the forest vigorously.

A wide field will open soon.

Occasionally, whenever I had free time, I would take the UL and go for a long walk.

I want to see the magnificent view of nature that is difficult to see where I live.

I hope Elijah sees that too.

She hugged me tight and closed her eyes, as if she was scared.

“My lady.”

When I call him softly, he gently raises his head.

I ask why you called me with your eyes.

“Look ahead.”

“… Front?”

I just nodded.

After looking at me in a puzzled way, Elijah turned her head to the front.

Just in time, Yuel ran through the trees and jumped over her bush.

A bright light stung my eyes.

***

Pat-!

As I ran out of the bush, the light poured in and the landscape unfolded as if the world opened up.

As her black hair fluttered in the wind, Elijah’s eyes widened.

The open field waves calmly according to the wind.

Without any obstacles, it just stretched out flat.

The sky and the horizon were meeting.

The fresh green air fills your lungs.

The wind that touches your face is cool, but your body is warm.

Because of the Judas she embraced.

Or, because of Judas, who embraced her.

Both are correct.

Because that’s how you look now.

In front of the Great Plains, she couldn’t express any emotion.

‘… Color.’

Color spread over the gray landscape.

Vivid chromatic colors spread.

The field of view is filled with two colors.

Green fields and blue skies.

A small white cloud sprinkled from time to time.

A wild flower blooming at first glance.

It’s not that Elijah couldn’t see colors.

She just accepted that she had no color because she thought everything was meaningless.

But at this moment, while she is being hugged by Yuda, she is riding Yuel.

She could perceive colors directly.

A spectacle more beautiful than any art object she had studied for her culture, showed off her own light and color in front of her eyes.

Unaware of her tears, Elijah gazed at the scenery.

She felt her heart swell with every breath she took.

Depending on the speed across the field, cool winds collide and scatter.

Elijah recalled several expressions about her senses.

See, hear, smell, feel.

She couldn’t explain this situation with anything else.

The bright brain quickly found the right answer.

Have it.

Elijah had this moment in her heart.

Everything you see, hear, smell, and touch your skin.

It’s like a childhood memory that you cherish and take out.

Just like the days she used to spend with her mother.

I thought I would put a bookmark on it today and open it while remembering it for a long time.

***

Elijah cradled me with one of her arms, and with her free hand she held her fluttering hair.

Look around the slowly unfolding scenery.

A glimpse of her profile is visible.

A face with slightly protruding round cheeks.

The big, red eyes capture the blueness of Mother Nature.

Tears flowed from her eyes.

She blinked her eyes slowly, then she opened her mouth.

“Judas.”

I quickly restrained myself.

“Don’t talk. A beginner might bite off her tongue if done wrong.”

I didn’t have horseback riding either.

In other words, when I first rode UL, I chewed my tongue several times.

Elijah said nothing.

She just silently looked in front of her, then placed her hand, which had been fixing her hair, on top of mine.

With that alone, I felt as if a certain intention had been conveyed.

We didn’t speak for a while.

With her in the UL, she just ran across her field.

*

In the end, I couldn’t find Richard, so I went to see the fields with Elijah.

Unexpectedly, Elijah seemed to like her.

She slowed Yuel down to look around her leisurely.

Sabaksabak, walking slowly in the field.

The Elijah held by me looked around the meadow with wide eyes like a cat looking out of her window. She

She doesn’t ask me to go back or ask why I’m late.

It was the first time I had seen Elijah like that.

Leisurely, calmly appreciating something.

Elijah is always relaxed.

It exudes the unique ease of a person in power.

But I don’t think it’s because she’s really relaxed.

I don’t know the details.

As she held me in one arm and looked out over the meadow, she looked somehow peaceful.

It was expressionless, different from usual.

I was appreciating Elijah, not the scenery.

A sleek nose. Small but thick lips.

Cheeks with youthful cheeks.

He has deep, sparkling red eyes.

It’s also because her personality has changed, and in many ways, I feel more round and round than Elijah, whom I was worried about in the past.

“That.”

Elijah, who was staring at her somewhere, pointed at her with his finger.

Some yellow flowers were blooming there.

“Do you want one?”

“Yes.”

I approached the flower and said to Yuel.

“Bend one.”

After Yuel pushed the flower down on her face, he cut off the stem close to her root and gave it to me.

It is clean and undamaged, almost as if someone had broken it.

“Right, well done. Thank you.”

“… Are you this smart?”

Elijah mostly only sees Yuel in her stable.

There are not many opportunities to see her as smart as I am.

I gave the flower to Elijah and said.

“Sure. When we go together, sometimes we are surprised. How smart you are, and it helps a lot.”

“Hmm…. You know very well.”

“You’ll find out when you go for a walk with UL.”

“Not so much alone….”

Elijah looked down at the flower, blurring her words.

I also shut her mouth.

Talking about it, she was embarrassed because she felt like a proud parent.

‘But it’s true that you’re smart….’

I slightly changed the topic.

“What kind of flower is it?”

“Marigold.”

I didn’t know you really knew.

I don’t know anything about Elijah.

As she was fiddling with her marigolds, she put a flower over her ear.

Looks up at me and smiles slightly.

From noble mtl dot com

She always gave me a soft smile.

The reason I feel different than before is probably because of my mood.

It’s not that she has changed.

***

“Ah, don’t do it!”

Richard exclaimed nervously.

A few days into the test, I gave up leaking.

“Where the hell are you! Ah-oh! No, no, no!”

I looked at the map and searched here and there.

As a result, I encountered several objects.

The goblins that formed a small colony in the cave.

A deserter hiding in the forest.

I don’t know who they belong to or what they’re doing, but they’re secretly operating under certain powers. Etc.

Among those who were brutally beaten, none of them had any holy relics.

I just had a hard time.

“I don’t know. Aim for the next test. Anything will work.”

I’d rather be ignorant of a mission to catch a certain monster.

I hate this kind of thing.

Giving up, Richard mounted his horse.

I ran straight to the mansion.

If you pass the forest, you will come to a wide field.

There.

“… Huh? That one?”

I saw a deer walking leisurely.

A person was riding on it.

“That’s Judas!”

Something clung to the deer’s side.

A grayish-white round object.

It was a statue of the sun that was supported.

‘As expected, is it you again?’

I thought so.

Because that extraordinary junior has always been successful.

It’s not that it doesn’t fail.

Sometimes I lose, and I make mistakes.

But Judas did not always fall.

In the end, I achieved what I had to achieve.

Sometimes it was bizarre.

That’s right, Judas isn’t as smart as himself.

Occasionally, however, Judas displayed extraordinary brain power.

‘Let’s take turns talking together…. What? Who is that?’

As Richard approached, he noticed something strange.

Judah was not alone.

Who is in that bosom?

‘Woman? That….’

I found out right away.

Elijah.

She was leaning on Judas.

The way they hugged each other was very affectionate.

‘… Huh, my true I pretended not to be so. That’s very, uhhh.’

Moreover, Elijah was smiling at Judas with a yellow flower in her hair.

She has a cold and sharp impression, and her unique atmosphere changes only when she is with Yuda.

‘Ugh…. Both of them are going to die of frustration.’

How long are we going to keep pushing each other away?

Apart from being frustrated, Richard smiled mischievously.

I have a place to go back and make fun of Judas.

Richard turned his head.

To not disturb the two of them.

‘Then, is it finally happening for the first time?’

A guy who finally achieves what he wants.

He even won the achievement of becoming Elijah’s first escort knight.

Although Elijah hasn’t officially announced it yet, Richard is convinced.
