【168】
My mind crackled with static before Father’s desperate voice pierced through.
Sensing that Father was weeping, my heart grew so heavy that I could not take another step and came to a halt.
I still could not see a future where I find Diolrose.
Hesitating, I decided to indulge my curiosity just a little further.
‘I want to see in detail what happens when I’m nineteen years old.’
Then, as if desperate to show me much in a short span of time, everything rushed forward rapidly.
Swept along by the swift current, my stomach churned and my head spun dizzily.
In that moment, an unfamiliar voice brushed against my ears.
“Welcome to our home. Stay as long as you wish… and then go.”
Black hair. An elegant frame.
Green eyes that had shed all semblance of cuteness gazed toward me, burning with undisguised longing.
“Don’t go.”
The scene shifted, and rain began to fall.
The man who had looked at me with anticipation now wore an expression of suppressed tears.
“Please. Please don’t go to that man.”
A downpour cascades.
His black uniform was drenched through, yet he made no move to release the carriage door.
“Let go. I have to go. You know this, Blake.”
At my whisper, Blake’s green eyes shattered like glass. I could see fragments of hurt embedding themselves within.
“So in the end… you choose him?”
“It’s not about choosing.”
“No, it is.”
The man laughed with hollow resignation.
‘Ah, my head hurts…!’
Too much information crammed itself into my mind, more than I could bear.
The pain was like someone driving a hammer into the back of my skull—unbearable.
‘Ugh!’
I felt as though I might retch…!
I wanted to vomit, but there was nowhere to do so.
I clutched my chest and struggled to steady my ragged breathing.
“Superti, no. Superti, breathe. Breathe, please!!”
My body in the present moment was in poor condition as well; Father’s voice was anguished. It seemed as though he was shaking me violently.
My vision wavered.
‘I cannot glimpse any further into the future.’
I must stop here.
That feeling came through powerfully.
That was surely Blake just now… but I still haven’t seen Rasifer.
‘No. I mustn’t be greedy.’
My fingertips trembled faintly.
My entire body tingled with numbness—I had truly reached my limit.
‘Fate Spirit King, I’ll stop looking now.’
If I made this choice, things would unfold one way; if I made that choice, they would unfold another.
I had certainly learned that a single decision spawned countless branches.
And I had also learned that no matter which path I chose, I could never find Diolrose until I turned nineteen.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ whispers to you.]
[Truly, you’ll stop here? You won’t be able to glimpse again a second time.]
“Yes, that’s fine. The future beyond this is uncertain, but I’ll forge it myself.”
Still, I had seen so much. And now that I had seen it, I was certain.
‘The Fate Spirit King granted me a blessing.’
To know the future. To be able to prepare for it.
I decided to be grateful for that.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ draws your consciousness upward.]
[If that is your choice, then return. Child, you must never speak of what you have seen.]
The apple the Fate Spirit King gave me, the future I witnessed, what I would do in that future—all of it was a secret.
Something only I could know.
I would be able to use it once I grew a bit older….
“Gasp!”
“…!”
“Huff, huff… gasp.”
“Shu, Superti. Oh, merciful heavens…!”
My breathing quickened as though my shrunken lungs suddenly expanded.
As I exhaled the stale breath I’d been holding, I blinked at Father, who held me tightly in his embrace.
Was it day? Was it night?
I couldn’t tell.
How much time had passed…?
“I thought I was losing you… you didn’t wake even in the morning, and it’s been three days, three days like this….”
Father’s handsome face was completely drenched in tears.
Surprisingly, Grandfather was also at my bedside, and Aunt Cecilia was there with a pale face. Lina was sobbing uncontrollably too.
“I was going to call the Laximon Household Master Deputy again this time, but on the very day you collapsed, that fellow disappeared after discovering some trace of dark magic.”
Grandfather pulled out a handkerchief and blew his nose with a loud honk. As he explained, I could feel worry woven into every word.
Because Grandfather was the sort of man who would never willingly summon another household’s deputy for family matters.
‘The fact that he’s speaking like this means he was truly very worried about me.’
I smiled faintly and, with Father’s support, slowly raised my upper body.
In truth, I had no strength from my fingertips to my toes.
Even breathing was still difficult….
This must be the price of glimpsing the future.
“I must have been exhausted. There were so many things that happened.”
But I said this instead.
I couldn’t tell them the truth.
“Don’t cry, Father. All right?”
I reached out and wiped the tears from Father’s eyes, and only then did I notice the shimmering text Mother was sending.
Mother had been so worried too.
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, gazes upon you.]
[While we were glimpsing Fate, our connection with you was severed. Are you all right, my daughter?]
“I’m really fine!”
Grrrrowwwl!
The moment those words left my lips, thunder erupted from my stomach.
Well, I hadn’t eaten anything for four days straight, after all.
My hunger was more than justified.
Father froze upon hearing my stomach’s complaint, then… collapsed.
With his face buried in the bed, sobbing, I embraced him tightly.
“There now, a grown man shouldn’t weep so pitifully.”
Grandfather chided Father—
“Father, you should learn to understand people’s hearts.”
Aunt rebuked Grandfather.
A sight unimaginable in the past.
But now, this is what our home looks like.
I know how much stronger Aunt will become, and how much happier she will be.
I also knew that Grandfather would grow older, bit by bit.
I knew Father would shed more tears, and I knew how magnificently my older brothers would become adults.
I had seen it all.
“I love you, Father. Grandfather. Aunt.”
So I suddenly spoke those words.
I couldn’t bear not to voice this love that swelled in my chest.
“I love you all so much. Our entire family. I won’t cause you worry.”
“…Yes.”
Father, his tears dried, lifted me up into his arms.
Cradled in Father’s embrace, I tried to remember his warmth for a long time.
A long, very long time.
Time passes so fleetingly that I felt I might become an adult in the blink of an eye.
Wishing this moment could last just a little longer, I held his broad embrace tightly.
“Let us all dine together. Since you haven’t eaten in so long, the child should have porridge so as not to shock your stomach.”
At Grandfather’s direction, we all made our way to the Dining Hall.
[The Flame Spirit King, Flammeus, gazes upon you with warm eyes.]
[Time flows onward, and eventually it shall be woven into years. We shall watch over your growth.]
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, sends you a heart with her hands.]
[Never forget that Mother is always by your side. I love you, my daughter.]
The moment we sat down, the Dining Hall door burst open and Iliad and Naiad came rushing in.
“You’ve awakened!”
“Look here! Your face is half covered in soup!”
As I dunked bread into my soup and slurped contentedly, Elzen and Joy arrived next, both drenched in sweat—
“My younger sibling.”
“Thank goodness you look unharmed.”
Both of them clutched what looked like medicinal herb roots in their hands.
Apparently, because I had slept so long without waking, they had gone out to gather herbs.
“What?! Tosil opened her eyes?!?!”
The last to appear was Mikard.
Having come straight from training in his military uniform, my older brother shed tears the moment he saw me—tears that mirrored Father’s expression exactly.
Truly, like father, like son.
“Wahhhhh, I wanted to stay by your side too…! But Father said he would protect you, and told me to look after the Military instead, wahhh!”
“There, there.”
It made sense that neither Father nor Mikard could leave their posts at the same time.
I stuffed a salted bread roll into the mouth of my weeping older brother.
I thought the salt would pair well with his tears and runny nose.
“Waahhhhh.”
Mikard ate it eagerly even as he cried.
Laughing at the sight of him, I suddenly realized something.
Ah, so this is how my ninth year passes.
‘I must live each day more preciously, filling it completely.’
Whether I wish it or not, the future will come.
That was the greatest vow a nine-year-old Superti Fasayen could make.
