Part 2, Chapter 53 (246)
Because you love me.
Then what about me, in return?
‘If I stay, it’s because of my sense of sacrifice.’
And because I trust Rasifer.
Because I believe in the devotion and love he shows me.
‘Then… don’t I love Rasifer?’
Throughout all these countless moments we’ve shared, there was something I’d been subtly feeling.
When there are many people around, I always notice Rasifer first.
It’s not that I’m looking for him intentionally. It’s not because of his striking appearance either.
He simply… catches my eye.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ says that sometimes the direction of one’s heart is determined by where one’s gaze falls.]
The path to the next floor was long.
Unlike before when a door would open and we’d emerge, a bright corridor stretched endlessly ahead, and as I walked through it, Rasifer tended to me with meticulous care.
“We came here so breathlessly. Are you alright? Let’s have some water first.”
“I’m fine. What about you, Pel?”
“I’m okay too. I was just worried that I didn’t take proper care of you because I was so focused on moving quickly.”
Is it also love when one cares for the other more than for oneself?
Not just consideration, but…
As I asked myself this, the Emotion Spirit King answered me.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ explains that consideration is a flower that blooms from love.]
[Whether it’s romantic love or familial love, one only wants to show consideration when they truly love. Love is the emotion that makes humans truly human.]
I see.
You can only show consideration when you hold someone in your heart.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ whispers like a song.]
[Things you cannot do alone, you can do sufficiently with two. Things you would never do alone, you willingly do for the other. During times when you could rest and be lazy, you show consideration for the other instead.]
[Yes, you can find love in actions too.]
Then Rasifer must truly love me.
Even when giving me a cup of water, he always gives it to me first, and whenever there’s something delicious, he always offers it to me first.
I had never seen him sit comfortably when he was with me.
‘Then what can I do for Pel in return?’
He said he doesn’t wish for anything, but still, it weighs on my mind.
It’s not that Rasifer’s kindness feels burdensome—rather, I want to do similar things for him.
Because… because.
“You looked lonely.”
“Huh?”
“Oh.”
The thought I’d kept to myself tumbled out of my mouth.
Rasifer, who had been matching my pace, immediately turned to face me.
As I gazed into his deep eyes, I suddenly thought how strange this space truly was.
Suddenly, thoughts I hadn’t entertained until moments ago came flooding in.
It was as though a bundle of emotions I’d buried deep within my heart had come undone.
“Let me see. You seem to be breaking out in a cold sweat.”
Cool fingertips touched my forehead.
He, who had been regarding me with worried eyes, soon lifted his gaze upward.
“The magic installed on this floor is rather troublesome. It’s a multi-layered illusory spell—difficult to dispel one by one and time-consuming. We’ll have to push through it.”
“Okay.”
“Even if you see something strange, don’t worry. I’ll be right beside you. I’m immune to illusions.”
Nodding, I reached toward the door that had appeared at the end of the corridor.
“No, let me open it.”
He gently stopped me and opened the door himself.
The weathered yet charming wooden door opened silently, and a warm breeze drifted out from within.
‘Where have I smelled this fragrance before?’
As I took a step forward, warm sunlight enveloped me.
The temperature was as lovely as a dreamlike day in mid-May.
As if everything I’d witnessed until now were lies, the world beyond the door appeared genuinely inviting.
‘Could this be a place prepared for someone?’
Apple trees were planted along the path.
Though it was spring and apples wouldn’t be bearing fruit, apple blossoms were in full bloom.
As I looked around, I tried to call out to Rasifer.
“Pel, this place….”
Wait, what was I trying to say?
It’s so familiar.
It reminds me of a place I’ve seen before—
“Ah! The Raximun Estate!”
Isn’t this garden similar to the Raximun Estate?
Of course, the house standing there is completely different.
Though much smaller than the Raximun Estate, I discovered a house built with far greater artistry and elegance, and I rushed toward it, flinging open the entrance door.
‘Yes, this scent. This is it.’
That longing fragrance I always smelled in my dreams….
Could someone be baking apple pie?
As I walked through the garden as if enchanted, I stopped upon discovering an abundance of flowers, a weeping willow with drooping branches, and a small lake.
“The name ‘Tower of Paradise’ truly suits this place.”
Perhaps my dream was foreshadowing this location.
[Water Spirit King Aurora is calling for you desperately.]
[Earth Spirit King Noom is telling you to come to your senses.]
[Flame Spirit King Flammeus says this ominous place should be burned to ashes entirely.]
It’s a safe place, so why are the Spirit Kings acting this way?
Perhaps they still sense danger. They are, after all, deeply concerned for me.
As I gazed blankly at the lake, he approached and draped a shawl over my shoulders.
The person I’ve always, always wanted to meet.
‘So it was Rasifer.’
Now I can see his face clearly.
A tender man suffused with summer sunlight drew me into his embrace.
“Should we… go to the next floor…?”
Ah, my head hurts.
There was something I needed to do.
I need to go to the next floor.
My words tangled, and now I couldn’t even remember what I was trying to say.
What was I trying to do?
I can’t remember.
[The Luck Spirit King ‘Hesasperti’ calls out: Diolrose Bellarian!]
I, who had been moving passively with his lead, came to an abrupt stop.
Ah, that’s right.
That’s what I was going to do.
“I need to save Sister Diolrose.”
When I spoke firmly, he—Rasifer—didn’t move.
As if everything was already finished, he shrugged his shoulders, then stroked my head as if to tell me not to worry.
“No, it’s not over yet… mmph?”
The moment I questioned him, a caramel dropped into my mouth.
Responding instinctively to the sweetness, I ate it eagerly.
“You had another bad dream, Shuya.”
“Huh? A dream?”
“You seem tired lately. It looks like old memories still trouble you.”
“Old… memories?”
I blinked slowly.
Rasifer, who had gathered white flowers in abundance, suddenly nestled into my arms and smiled beautifully.
“I promised to tell you when you suffer. That’s all in the past now.”
That’s strange. The ‘him’ in the dream never spoke to me once. Come to think of it, being able to see his face was also odd.
“The doctor said it would be better to take medicine, but I didn’t feel like it. If you’re anxious and uncomfortable, I’ll just keep telling you, and that’s enough.”
“Ah…”
“Diolrose must be at Belarion. If you want to see her, shall we visit soon?”
In Rasifer’s face as he spoke, I couldn’t find a trace of falsehood.
Besides, there’s no reason for Rasifer to lie to me.
There isn’t… but…
‘Wait.’
Was his face always this mature?
Hesitating, I reached out and touched Rasifer’s face.
He simply let me be, then grasped my hand firmly with a smile.
“Of course, it’s surprising that I’ve suddenly aged. We’ve been living together.”
“…You’ve aged?”
“Yes. This has happened several times now. There are records—want to see them? Feel free to doubt me all you want.”
What on earth is he talking about?
Have I really lost my memories?
‘But it feels so familiar. As if I’ve lived here for a long time.’
Rasifer led me, bewildered as I was, up to the 2nd Floor.
One of the rooms there was arranged like a library, and the walls lined with books exhaled the pleasant scent of autumn leaves.
“Here—this is your space. The records are in this drawer. Since this is your room, I don’t come in often.”
“My space….”
“Yes. I’ll step out for a moment, so take your time looking around.”
True to his word, the desk was filled with things I loved.
A nest-shaped basket brimming with caramel. A four-leaf clover I received from the Luck Spirit King. Beside it, a small Baby Jellyfish crafted from crystal gleamed brilliantly.
I still couldn’t fully believe it, but the moment I opened the drawer, I was left speechless.
