Episode 82

Dillen’s gaze was directed toward the men in robes.

They just looked like ordinary people passing through the port…

“They’re Yurta’s knights.”

He immediately scrutinized them with wary eyes.

“How do you know that?”

“Intuition.”

“What?”

So he said those people who looked like ordinary civilians at first glance seemed like Yurta’s knights… purely based on intuition?

That was quite trustworthy.

When I looked at Dillen with a dubious expression, Dillen seemed to understand the meaning behind my gaze.

“My intuition has never been wrong.”

“…Yeah, sure.”

“You don’t believe me right now, do you?”

“…No, I believe you.”

“Ah, really! It’s really true! How long do you think I’ve been chased by those bastard knights…”

“Fine. I said I believe you, didn’t I?”

“No…”

Right. Who’s saying what?

I said I believe you, didn’t I?

Dillen still frowned as if he wasn’t satisfied.

I flicked his forehead.

“Relax your expression.”

“…”

Dillen still looked displeased, but he seemed to think that getting away from this place was the urgent priority.

Dillen grabbed my arm and led me.

“Escaping through the port will probably be impossible.”

“…”

“If it’s that bastard Yurta, he definitely would have blocked the port first… damn it.”

Dillen, who had been trying to leave the port, frowned when he saw the people stationed around the area.

…Maybe because they were brothers, Dillen seemed to know Yurta quite well.

“They haven’t noticed us yet, so we need to hide without being caught.”

Dillen urgently looked around for a place to hide.

Then Dillen’s gaze reached an alley located next to a street vendor stall in front of us.

I happened to be looking in that direction as well.

Dillen and I moved like people who understood each other without having to speak.

Following Dillen who was pulling my arm, I looked around.

Come to think of it, why did Rose…

“Dillen, why did I run away from Herthas?”

Something I had been curious about all along.

Why did Rose run away from that place?

What exactly was there?

“Dillen?”

“…Stay ignorant if you don’t know.”

Unlike before when he answered everything readily, Dillen was reluctant to speak. Moreover, his face was rigidly hardened.

“…What on earth happened for you to be like this?”

“You figure that out and remember it yourself. I will absolutely never tell you.”

No, seriously, what is it that makes you act like this?

“Just tell me…”

“Shh. I think they noticed us too.”

At Dillen’s words, I immediately turned around.

The men in robes were stealthily approaching us.

“Over there!”

The robed man shouted and rushed toward us.

Dillen and I entered the alley. However, we soon reached a dead end.

In the current situation, I couldn’t see any way out.

Then Dillen turned to look at me.

“…I told you, didn’t I? That bringing me along would definitely be useful.”

“What are you suddenly talking about?”

“I’ll show you my usefulness, so stand there and watch carefully.”

Dillen hid me behind him and stepped forward, drawing the sword at his waist.

* * *

“Lord Yurta! We found them!”

Yurta’s temperament was suited to giving orders and watching from afar.

However, as always, matters concerning Rose were an exception.

Yurta personally came to the port where Rose was likely to have gone.

And finally.

“You found Sister?”

“Yes. Right now she’s with Lord Dillen…”

Damn Dillen.

When Yurta’s mood turned sour, the knight read his expression.

The murderous aura emanating from him felt like it was choking his throat.

“So where is Sister right now? Guide me there immediately.”

“Understood.”

Yurta followed the knight’s guidance toward where Rose and Dillen were said to be.

They said Dillen had hidden inside a shop.

He had locked the door tightly and was fighting the knights while standing in front of the shop.

Did he think he could protect her by hiding Rose securely inside?

How foolish.

Yurta clicked his tongue at his older brother’s stupidity.

However, on the other hand, he was pleased that thanks to that stupidity, he could meet Rose quickly.

Bang!

Where the loud noise came from, Dillen was confronting the knights.

Dillen’s movements were swift and sharp. His strength was also tremendous, so the knights had no way to handle him.

Dillen in childhood wasn’t like this.

‘Sister changed him.’

He didn’t know what method she used.

He only knew two things: that at some point Dillen and Rose were together, and that Dillen changed after that.

That was all he knew.

Yurta drew his sword, losing his reason to rising anger and jealousy.

As expected, it was irritating.

He was thinking of killing his own brother here, pretending it was an accident.

“Everyone, step aside.”

At Yurta’s single word, the knights blocking the way immediately stepped aside.

“Aagh!”

Only the knight who had been fighting Dillen was kicked in the abdomen by Dillen and rolled on the ground.

Yurta looked coldly at Dillen and gritted his teeth.

“Ah. Yurta, you came?”

“…Brother.”

Seeing the cold glaring gaze, Dillen sneered at Yurta.

“Move aside.”

“If I move aside. You’re going to see Rose?”

“Yes. I will meet Sister.”

“Do you think Rose will see you?”

The knights feared Yurta’s red eyes that gleamed with murderous intent in his cold gaze.

However, Dillen, who had the same red eyes as Yurta, easily mocked him.

“Not a chance.”

“…”

“You should hope for realistic things. Don’t you think?”

Dillen, who had been taunting, readjusted his grip on his sword. Yurta also glared at Dillen while gripping his sword with both hands.

Based on years of experience, Dillen was no easy opponent.

Even though he wasn’t a transcendent, Rose had led him to a level close to that of a transcendent.

“Ha…”

The moment Yurta’s red eyes gleamed with an eerie light, Yurta charged forward.

Clang!

Two sharp swords clashed against each other.

Neither side yielded as they raised their swords to break the other.

Putting strength into their sword-gripping hands, the two pairs of red eyes faced each other with looks that could kill.

Both pairs of red eyes were stained blood-red.

It was an old hatred toward each other.

An eternal grudge between these two that would never be resolved.

And today they intended to settle this grudge.

Not through reconciliation, but by breaking each other.

One of the two was trying to win this fight and gain the upper hand.

The knights watched in a daze as Dillen and Yurta fought fiercely.

Each time their swords clashed, there was a sharp explosive sound that seemed to tear eardrums, and when the swords sharply cut through the air, fierce winds blew.

The wind had enough power to seemingly swallow the entire area around the port.

That’s when it happened.

“There’s a back door to the shop!”

One of Yurta’s knights shouted.

At that moment, a strange light appeared in Yurta’s red eyes and Dillen showed a sense of dismay.

“The door is locked!”

“Break down the door!”

Crack!

When the knights charged forward determined to break down the door, the wooden door easily shattered.

The knights entered the shop to search for Rose.

However.

“…No one is here.”

“Miss Rose is not here!”

The excited heart at the thought of meeting Rose plummeted into despair.

Seeing Yurta’s darkened expression, Dillen taunted with a voice full of mockery.

“What now?”

“Where is Sister?”

Taking a step back from Yurta who approached him, he narrowly dodged a sword that flashed past his eyes like an arrow.

A long scratch appeared on Dillen’s cheek.

However, Dillen laughed without feeling the pain.

“How would I know that.”

“…Brother.”

Oh dear, poor little brother.

Dillen thought as he parried Yurta’s increasingly ferocious sword.

As long as I’m alive, Rose will never fall into your hands.

Dillen recalled the pink-haired girl who had saved him long ago.

【Stop whining already.】

He still remembered.

Rose, who had looked at him with a considerably annoyed expression.

Dillen recalled the memory of that day he would never forget for the rest of his life, and kicked Yurta in the abdomen.

“Ugh.”

When Yurta let out a death groan and stepped back, Dillen didn’t miss the opportunity and pounced.

“For the rest of your life, Rose will never go to you.”

* * *

“Ticket confirmed!”

The man who checked the ticket for boarding the ship let me through.

As I boarded the ship, I looked back. At Dillen who would be somewhere back there.

Smoke was rising from the direction of the port.

I had no evidence, but I was certain that Dillen and Yurta were over there.

When cornered in the dead-end alley, Dillen had dealt with Yurta’s knights and entered some shop.

The shop owner was startled to see Dillen burst in with a blood-stained sword, but when Dillen offered him a large sum of money, he quickly calmed down.

【If you vacate this place for a moment, I’ll give you that money.】

After checking the amount, the owner’s eyes widened and he quickly left the shop.

Dillen hurriedly put a robe from the shop on me and pushed my back toward the back door.

【Go quickly while I lure Yurta away.】

【…】

【I said go? Won’t you go?】

Only after Dillen lost his temper did I leave the shop.

Somehow something was bothering me and I couldn’t move right away, staring at Dillen, but he only glared at me.

In the end, I ran toward the port.

The ship departed.

I leaned against the ship’s railing and directed my gaze toward the smoke rising from the port as if something had happened.

‘I couldn’t even say thank you.’

It probably won’t happen.

But if we meet again…

Please be safe.

I watched the port until the ship sailed far out to sea and the smoke was no longer visible.

I thought of the things I had left behind there.

My luggage, Emily, Anri, Hayden, Arzen, Yurta, Dillen…

…Even Rihardt.

I bid farewell to everything that had bound me all this time.

Goodbye.
