506.

 

“What is this!”

 

An excited Luna raised her voice.

 

“To think such a disgraceful situation would happen because of that pervert’s potion!”

 

In a situation where she wasn’t wearing a single thread, sitting back-to-back with him, Luna was raising her voice as if trying to shake off her embarrassment, her face red all the way to her ears.

 

“You’re the one who told me to make that potion.”

 

Luna was left speechless by Leo’s reproach.

 

Having nothing to say, Luna hugged her knees and hung her head low.

 

Her face continued to burn as if on fire due to Leo’s body heat transmitted from behind her back.

 

‘The stimulation is too intense!’

 

Every time Leo moved, she desperately suppressed the moans that threatened to escape from the feeling of their bare skin brushing against each other, back to back.

 

Her heart was racing wildly as if it had broken down.

 

They had traversed battlefields together for long years and had been together until the very end to save the world.

 

But in truth, they had never been in such a situation before.

 

The culprit was none other than Dweno.

 

Regardless of their personalities, Luna and Risinass were so beautiful that even goddesses would weep in envy, so Dweno wanted to use the two as models for his art.

 

Naturally, being models for his art meant being nude models, and Dweno was, in a certain sense, definitely insane.

 

For Risinass and Luna, they had always been vigilant of their surroundings when bathing or changing clothes outdoors.

 

Moreover, though Luna’s words and actions were rough, she had received a High Elf’s education and had devoted her entire life to magic.

 

Being in such a situation with someone she liked was extremely embarrassing.

 

“Don’t turn around. If you turn around, I definitely won’t let it slide!”

 

“That won’t happen.”

 

Luna snorted at Leo’s indifferent response.

 

“I have something I’m curious about.”

 

“What.”

 

Luna answered curtly to Leo’s question.

 

“Why did you hide your feelings from me? Risinass might not have openly shown her emotions for the sake of the greater good, but you don’t seem like that type.”

 

“Hah.”

 

Luna, feeling frustrated, tilted her head back.

 

She relaxed completely and leaned her back against Leo.

 

Before they knew it, the sun had set and it was quite late at night.

 

Runia and Eiran, Chen Xia and Cal had gone out to see the festival.

 

This was thanks to Leo and Luna making the excuse that they had something to talk about.

 

The curtains were completely drawn.

 

The dim light of the magelight created shadows of the two people.

 

Luna glanced at the shadows of herself and Leo sitting back-to-back.

 

Leo was silently looking ahead.

 

After watching him for a moment and organizing her thoughts, Luna let out a small laugh.

 

“I even proposed to you, you know?”

 

“What? When?”

 

Surprised, Leo unconsciously turned around.

 

Luna didn’t hesitate to hit Leo’s face with her elbow.

 

“I told you not to look.”

 

“Ugh!”

 

Watching Leo clutch his face, Luna snorted smugly once more and said with pursed lips.

 

“I’ll become your future. If you can’t envision a future, I’ll become your unchanging dream. So that your life can continue as my life.”

 

“That was supposed to be a proposal?”

 

“Yes, it was a proposal. You idiot. It was a proposal. That pervert used to tell you often back then, didn’t he? That you’re a fool. Yeah. That’s right.”

 

“When did you start having feelings for me?”

 

“It was from that time.”

 

To suddenly propose to someone she had just started liking.

 

‘I guess you could say that’s very Luna-like.’

 

While Leo let out a hollow laugh, Luna gritted her teeth and said.

 

“I made a resolution then. That I would never again say I liked you with my own mouth. That I would never show it and make you fall for me instead!”

 

“But you confessed when we were subjugating Jerdiak and Silatuna.”

 

“That was a special situation, so it doesn’t count.”

 

Leo let out a hollow laugh watching Luna grind her teeth as she spoke.

 

Leo silently looked up at the ceiling.

 

A clean but old inn where traces of time could be felt.

 

Deep into the night.

 

The dim magelight flickered.

 

Being close together, he could clearly sense Luna’s scent.

 

He could feel Luna’s movements as she fidgeted nervously.

 

During a moment of silence.

 

Luna opened her mouth.

 

“How did you feel when you first realized you had been reincarnated?”

 

“I was bewildered. I woke up from a long sleep to find my body had become small.”

 

“What about after that?”

 

“I was relieved that the world was at peace even after 5,000 years. And I thought that this time, I had to put an end to it all.”

 

Leo looked down at his hands.

 

“Because it was an imperfect peace.”

 

“…Didn’t you ever think about just forgetting everything and enjoying life?”

 

“It’s not that I never thought about it. But I didn’t think you guys would do that.”

 

“No, if I had been reborn in this era, I probably would have turned away from the world’s threats.”

 

Luna’s hands tightened around her knees.

 

“Because this world is like a dream.”

 

The current era was the very world Luna had dreamed of.

 

What a delightful world it was?

 

Luna herself was revered as the greatest mage in history.

 

The magical theories that had developed based on the magical theory she had planted, branching out into countless branches and schools.

 

Magical theories that had developed in directions that even Luna herself couldn’t have imagined.

 

For a mage, could there be a world more worthy of research than this?

 

“Arron would be the same.”

 

Given his timid nature, he would have chosen a peaceful life.

 

“Dweno too.”

 

Though he possessed steel-like mental strength, Dweno would cultivate the beauty of the world.

 

“Risinass is…”

 

Luna hesitated mid-sentence, then unconsciously burst into laughter.

 

“Risinass probably would have tried to completely eliminate Erebos.”

 

“Yeah, that’s the kind of guy he is. But.”

 

Leo, who had been agreeing with Luna’s words, added.

 

“You all would have eventually chosen to fight against Erebos again, just like me.”

 

Luna, Arron, and Dweno too.

 

To protect this world they had defended.

 

To protect this peace that their friends had achieved by sacrificing everything, they would have eventually faced Erebos.

 

“If they had the personality to say ‘someone else will do it instead of me, I’ve already done enough,’ they wouldn’t have embarked on that difficult journey 5,000 years ago in the first place.”

 

“Is that so?”

 

Luna burst into laughter.

 

“There certainly were many difficult times.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Do you remember that time? When Risinass and Arron together…”

 

They shared stories.

 

Long ago.

 

They exchanged tales that had now become memories.

 

Naturally, the tension began to ease as well.

 

“Ah… this is really nice.”

 

Luna leaned back more deeply and looked up at the ceiling.

 

“Come to think of it, you still don’t have anything you want to do after saving the world?”

 

Luna changed the subject.

 

“I want to fulfill the future you all desired.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I want to find those who will inherit your will so that the future you dreamed of can continue.”

 

Leo smiled gently.

 

“So that my future can become your future. I want my life to allow your story to continue.”

 

‘Ah… really, this guy.’

 

Why is he so altruistic when his personality is so messy?

 

‘That’s probably why Risinass fell for Kail too.’

 

Understanding her friend’s heart, Luna spoke.

 

“Close your eyes.”

 

At those words, Leo obediently closed his eyes.

 

Luna got up from her seat and went in front of Leo, leaning her back against his chest.

 

“If you try anything funny, I won’t let it slide.”

 

“This makes it difficult to do that.”

 

When Leo spoke as if troubled, Luna leaned her back more against Leo’s chest and said.

 

“Let’s just stay like this today.”

 

With her eyes closed, Luna spoke in a trembling voice.

 

Her heart was racing and she felt embarrassed to death, but she wanted to feel Leo’s warmth a little longer like this.

 

The night deepened.

 

The strange time brought by the potion passed by.

 

***

 

The next day.

 

Leo and Luna went out to the streets.

 

“How unusual that you didn’t go to the academy?”

 

Runia, who came out with them, asked while linking arms.

 

Leo answered.

 

“My body was tired.”

 

“You?”

 

Runia narrowed her eyes suspiciously and glanced at him.

 

Seeing such Runia, Leo smiled slightly.

 

After looking at Leo for a moment, Runia said.

 

“Could you give me some advice?”

 

“About what.”

 

“About Lady Luna.”

 

Leo looked at Luna, who was enjoying the street festival by herself, and opened his mouth.

 

“What about?”

 

“The day before yesterday, those Pureblood Society guys were rude to Lady Luna.”

 

Runia spoke as if troubled, seeming to be concerned about that incident.

 

“I was wondering if Lady Luna might be disappointed in this era because of that.”

 

For Runia, that was what ultimately bothered her.

 

At Runia’s words, Leo chuckled.

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You saw it too. What kind of place Luna grew up in the past.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“She wouldn’t be disappointed by something like the Pureblood Society at this point. She’d rather focus only on the bright side.”

 

“That’s true. I’m glad I consulted with you.”

 

Runia shook off her worries and smiled brightly.

 

Then she opened her eyes drowsily.

 

“By the way. You talk as if you understand Lady Luna better than I do.”

 

“Is that not allowed?”

 

“It’s not that it’s not allowed, but I was directly recognized by Lady Luna as her successor, you know?”

 

Runia puffed out her chest and made a proud expression.

 

“I should understand her better.”

 

“I was recognized by Lord Seirun though.”

 

“Ugh. That’s different.”

 

Runia seemed to want to understand Luna more deeply.

 

‘Well, she is someone she admires.’

 

“You’re human and All-Class, so you be Lord Kail’s successor.”

 

‘I am Kail.’

 

It was when Leo was about to burst into hollow laughter at Runia’s words.

 

“Hmm! It would look really cool if this square was full of flowers!”

 

Just then, Luna crossed her arms and made a wistful expression.

 

Seeing such Luna, Runia said.

 

“Shall I buy all the flowers in the city?”

 

Runia was a young lady with tremendous wealth, befitting the successor of the Runda Family, one of the most prestigious elven families.

 

If she set her mind to it, it would be possible to sweep up all the flowers in the entire city.

 

“Then other places wouldn’t have flowers.”

 

Luna smiled brightly as she spoke and glanced at Leo.

 

Leo made an indifferent expression and spread his hand.

 

Mana began to ripple, and flowers started blooming abundantly in the square.

 

Exclamations burst out from here and there.

 

Seeing this, Runia opened her mouth wide, and Luna approached Leo with a bright smile.

 

Leo chuckled and made a flower bloom in his hand, then placed it in Luna’s hair.

 

“Do I look pretty with a flower in my hair?”

 

“With a flower in your hair, you look like a strange woman.”

 

At Luna’s question, Leo answered with a snicker.

 

Luna made a cold expression and threw punches at Leo.

 

Leo dodged those hands as if accustomed to it.

 

Watching the two bicker, Runia was a little surprised.

 

‘In the Heroes’ World too. They really seem like close friends.’

 

She envied their relationship.

 

It was when Runia was looking at the two with envious eyes.

 

Whoooosh!

 

Wind blew.

 

Leo and Luna froze.

 

The two, with hardened faces, turned their heads simultaneously.

 

And there they saw a strange woman.

 

Nothing could be felt from the woman with transparent hair and eyes.

 

But centered around the ground where she stood, the life-filled flowers began to wither.

 

“It’s been a long time, noble heroes.”

 

Leo frowned as he looked at the woman greeting him with a voice devoid of emotion.

 

“Mirror Queen, Kaneshi.”

 

Killing intent erupted from Leo’s body at the appearance of the Legion Commander he had defeated 5,000 years ago.

 

Watching Leo like this, Kaneshi smiled.

 

“Shall we settle the score we couldn’t finish 5,000 years ago? Surviving Hero, Kail.”
