It seems like you’ve been living in a bad environment.” “I fixed it, but it was not an illness in your case. Did you fix it completely? Can you cure an illness, too?” “Rhema, I don’t cough anymore ever since you stopped it. While talking, Azriel thought of Maylie’s mom and the fact that Maylie was saving up money to visit a wizard in the capital to cure her mom’s illness. “First… I’d like to see Maylie.” Her only friend’s safety was first. I’ll sleep later.” It was important to revive her memory, but she could not just keep on sleeping. Would it be possible for something to break to the point where the Wizard of the Horizon could not fix it? Would she remember this, too, if she continued to recall her memory? Ignoring her, Rhema said. He got rid of it because it was ruined… Azriel blurred the end of her sentence. “Did you abandon it… when you abandoned me, that bear?” With a slightly shaking voice, Azriel asked. Did he abandon it when he abandoned her? Was it an object that meant nothing to him? It felt like the mire was pouring down on her warm, colorful memories. No matter how many toys she received, there was nothing more precious than that teddy bear to her. “No, it’s no longer here.”Īt his answer, Azriel’s heart dropped to her surprise. He kept his mouth closed for a while as if he did not want to speak and answered her as she gazed at him. “About that teddy bear… do you still have it? Rhema’s facial expression was distorted a little. “Until I went outside with you for the first time.” Azriel handed over the empty bowl to the spirit and looked back at him. As soon as she finished eating, Rhema opened his mouth. She thought that it would take a while to get used to the spirit’s serving, but she was already accustomed to it. The foods were soft enough not to burden her stomach. Azriel, who said it without giving much thought, started eating. Rhema looked at her silently for a long while. Apart from the way she was appalled by him now, he felt closer as she recalled more past memories. “Let’s eat together, from next time.” Azriel unconsciously talked to him in a friendly way. Holding a basket, the spirit began to place food on the table. “…It’s because I slept for a lot.” Rhema let go of the spirit that he was grasping. Drawn by that mysterious feeling, she looked back and the air was slightly distorted. Then, she felt like she needed to look back. He was not threatening her but speaking the truth. “If you become a wizard, I will have to kill you someday,” When he said that, his eyes were indifferent. He is a good person to me, but…’ Was it true? Was he a good person to her? However, no matter how close a wizard he was to God, he was not God. ‘He might not be a particularly good person. When she was young, Azriel thought Rhema was God. ‘It’s because the Colte Castle is gone.’ The castle that could be seen anywhere in the town was nowhere to be seen. Studying the view for a while, Azriel realized what had changed. It was the scenery of the familiar Colte town where she lived for four years, but something was not right. She steadily watched the sun coming up and the view gradually brightening. Azriel leaned on her elbow on the windowsill. As she breathed in the cool morning air, her head was cleared little by little. ‘It’s better than yesterday, at least.’ This time, there was no one in the room. Azriel, who was now sixteen, touched her heavy head and lifted her body. When she opened her eyes, it was a hazy dawn this time. She, soon, was so focused on the ice cream that she forgot about Rhema’s reaction. “Oh.” At Rhema’s remark, Azriel looked down at her bowl and rushed to pick up her spoon.
His voice was so low that it did not reach Azriel. And what did that person say to him after a long time had passed? He mumbled lowly. There was someone who said this to him a very long time ago. Rhema closed his mouth and looked at Azriel with strange eyes. She felt like she was enchanted by magic whenever he called her name and she called his name. She liked him who told her that he would not abandon her no matter what.
More than all she had, she liked the fact that she was not alone. It felt like she was born again after dying once. At the moment she was about to give up everything, he appeared.
