【Chapter 201】

When I lifted my head, I could see a monster in the distance, pierced by a sword and hardened like stone.

Soon the massive body collapsed, revealing the figure standing behind it.

A man breathing heavily.

It was Kail.

But why is he so covered in blood?

My mouth, which had been about to call out to him in joy, clamped shut.

He roughly wiped the blood flowing down between his brows and faced his next opponent.

The being that had been commanding the monsters with authority was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as he finished off what was in front of him, the next monster rushed at him.

He defeated the charging opponents with quick and agile movements, but I could feel he was struggling physically.

‘…If you were going to leave alone, you should at least be safe.’

Seeing him overwhelmed by numbers made my eyes burn with tears.

Actually, I had been slightly angry that Kail left without saying anything.

But-

‘When you said you’d sacrifice yourself for me, did you mean you’d die fighting so desperately like this?’

Saying you’d repay the debt for saving you as a child, you were just planning to die like this?

At that thought, sorrow overwhelmed my anger.

“Kail-!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, I jumped down from the dragon’s back.

“…Aisha?”

His purple eyes widened as he looked up at the sound of my voice.

For a moment he looked horrified, as if seeing something he shouldn’t, then immediately stretched both arms toward me.

* * *

Kail thought he had lived a fairly satisfying life.

If Aisha hadn’t saved him in the first place, his life would have ended 10 years ago.

But thanks to meeting her at Ahili’s Circus, he was able to experience quite a lot of things.

‘What was there?’

He slaughtered monsters indiscriminately while simultaneously lost in thought.

‘Right. I was able to learn that human warmth is warm.’

And in that cozy embrace, he could sleep peacefully without worrying about going hungry.

“Kraaaak-!”

The agonized roars of monsters flowed, but his purple eyes, lost in other thoughts, looked as peaceful as if lying on a sofa.

He had also gained something called a name.

He had experienced emotions he had never felt before, never thought he would feel.

Recalling the times that had passed, Kail thought.

‘Is this what they call a life flashing before your eyes?’

They say memories flash through your mind in the moment before death.

Kail, who instinctively realized this was his end, put strength in his feet and leaped lightly, then began running toward the ice wall.

The Monster Wave was more powerful than he had thought.

He thought he could control the smaller ones, if not the big ones.

When the higher-level monsters like orcs lost their reason, the smaller monsters also began rampaging madly following them.

To the point where Kail ended up missing most of them.

Surely countless people would have been sacrificed by now.

As the ice wall drew near, he could see the Duke’s Knights fighting against the monsters.

Seeing the corpses that had fallen below them, Kail bit his lips.

But as long as Aisha was alive.

As long as she was safe, he had no regrets about his choice.

It was right then, after he had cut down another monster that charged at him without even recognizing he was a Maein.

“Kail-!”

He had planned to kill as many monsters as possible and end his life without regrets, but he heard a voice that absolutely should not be heard in this place.

‘Could it be a hallucination?’

He wiped the blood flowing on his forehead and looked around.

There was no way Aisha could be here.

No, she shouldn’t be here.

“Kail-!”

But at the clear sound heard again, his heart seemed to stop.

When he raised his head in the direction of the sound, he saw some dragon.

And Aisha, who had been riding on top of it, jumped down.

Aisha.

He had been wondering what words he should say if he met her again.

Even if he had his reasons, leaving without a word was worthy of resentment.

Maybe he’d be scolded like when he was young 10 years ago.

But that was talk for if he returned safely, he never thought he’d meet her here, in this situation.

He first threw away the sword he was holding and stretched out both arms.

To catch her as she jumped down without hesitation.

“Aisha!”

“Kail!”

The body temperature they touched after so long was so warm.

As he looked at her with a dazed heart, her slender arms wrapped around his neck like a stranglehold.

Before he could be surprised, suddenly tremendous flames filled the sky.

It was the White Dragon’s action to drive away the monsters approaching the area.

Within the circle drawn by flames, the two finally faced each other.

“You, just how…”

“Don’t you value your own life?”

He was about to ask how on earth she got here.

But at the sudden tearful question, his body froze like ice.

He was the one who should be angry.

He had given his life to save her, and came all the way to the snowy plains to keep her safe.

But Aisha had come looking for him directly, making all his efforts meaningless.

However-

The moment Aisha’s shoulders, hidden in his embrace without showing her expression, began trembling intermittently.

The moment he realized she was crying, Kail couldn’t say anything.

“…Isn’t the life I saved precious to you?”

“You…”

“I asked if it isn’t precious to you! If I had known you’d act like this, I wouldn’t have saved you! You said you only had me! I also…!”

“Aisha.”

She finally burst into tears and screamed.

“Your words are always so flowery, but why do you always act unilaterally behind my back, why!”

Small hands pounded against his chest.

He, who hadn’t budged even under monster attacks, somehow felt his heart ache as if squeezed by those small gestures.

“Why are you crying.”

There was only one thing visible in his sight.

The tears gathered in her red eyes and her reddened eye area.

He unconsciously tried to wipe away her tears with his thumb, but Aisha rejected Kail’s touch and pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket.

And she began wiping away his bloodstains that Kail had roughly brushed off.

“What kind of state is this.”

Aisha was always like this.

Though he had been keeping his distance lately, since 10 years ago she had always taken care of him like treating a child.

Even while crying, she was doing this.

Kail, who lowered his head to make it easier for her to reach, obediently closed his eyes and accepted her touch.

‘You wouldn’t know.’

That my willingness to sacrifice for you was the result of these small but warm actions accumulating one by one.

That it was my heart responding to the affection you showed me.

“Anyway, now the baby dragon will save us. You’ve done your part, so let’s go back to the castle.”

“…I thought I could be the one to save you this time.”

“…Huh?”

Aisha’s movements stopped at his sudden words.

“I was always the one being saved.”

Even though it wasn’t a situation to smile, his lips curved into a faint arc.

When he covered and held the small hand wiping his forehead, he could feel Aisha stiffen in surprise.

“What, what are you saying? And Kail, you. I’m not wiping your forehead so you can hold hands, so let go.”

“You said I’m your first love. You’re my first love too, so isn’t this much okay?”

He lifted his closed eyelids and looked down at Aisha.

Her face had turned bright red in an instant.

It was much better than her crying face from before.

Seeing her flustered somehow made him feel good.

Seeing her unable to say anything in surprise, mischief stirred within him.

He brought her hand that he was holding to his cheek.

Thump, thump.

Through their touching skin, he could faintly hear Aisha’s heartbeat.

“Now, this isn’t the time for… this. Wheeeet-!”

When Aisha whistled, a gust of wind blew down from above.

As the flames spread toward them in that wind, Kail reflexively tried to shield Aisha.

However, Aisha quickly created a blizzard and extinguished the fire.

“Aisha-!”

Soon, a massive dragon approached the ground where they were.

The obviously young creature looked similar to himself from 10 years ago, blindly following Aisha.

‘…There really are a lot of pests swarming around Aisha.’

Kail glared at the dragon with a displeased expression, but said nothing.

He couldn’t deny that they could survive thanks to it.

“Icha!”

Just as the baby dragon was about to snatch him and Aisha up.

“Kraaaak!”

A monster running frantically on four legs charged between them.

“Eek!”

The startled baby dragon moved a bit farther away.

When the two looked around, they were already surrounded by orcs that had gotten close.

“When did they get so close…!”

In Aisha’s panicked eyes, Kail’s hardened expression came into view.

When she turned her gaze to where he was looking-

“An ogre…!”

The massive ogre that Kail had once faced was standing there.
