CHAPTER 130: ESTHER’S FURY

~3rd Person Perspective~

 

 

　Esther closes the door to her room with a silent rage.

 

 

　Toru is a mess. Next to him, no matter how many lives she has, it’s never going to be enough.

 

　The dozens of minutes that followed the ride back to Finlis behind the dragon’s were the most terrifying of Esther’s life. Despite this, Toru did not understand her feelings at all.

 

 

(If he had been even a little sympathetic, I wouldn’t have been so angry…) (Esther)

 

 

　In the first place, he never tries to run away. He will stand up to any opponent.

 

 

　Why does he never run away?

 

　Esther has no idea why he does not choose to flee, no matter how dangerous it is.

 

 

　However, because Toru is that way that she also wants to be next to him. She is afraid that the moment she takes her eyes off him, he will die. Because of that she always feels uneasy.

 

 

(I have almost died many times because of that…) (Esther)

 

 

　As she recalled each time one by one, anger welled up in her. And she was disgusted with herself for being so timid that she could not express such anger.

 

 

“Oh, this is totally useless!” (Esther)

 

 

　She opened the window to cool her face.

 

　At that moment, particles of light danced outside the window.

 

 

“Wow… that looks amazing.” (Esther)

 

 

　The light turned into a butterfly and slowly soared into the sky.

 

　Looking down, she spotted Lily in the courtyard. Apparently, this light was created by her.

 

　And there was also another person, Toru.

 

 

“……uuugh.” (Esther)

 

 

　She wants to go to the garden and tell Lily how she feels about the light butterflies. She wants to share her feelings, that it was beautiful. But she was too angry just a little while ago to act honestly.

 

　If she does nothing and let Toru go, she will feel like an idiot for being so angry.

 

 

　While she was agonizing over what to do, someone appeared in the courtyard.

 

 

　From Esther’s angle, she could not see who it was. However, there was an atmosphere that suggested that it was no ordinary opponent. As if to confirm this, Toru readies his sword and Lily releases her magical power.

 

 

“…This is bad.” (Esther)

 

 

　Esther hurriedly left the window and pulled the sword she had on her waist.

 

　It was at that moment that she jumped out of the room to go down the stairs.

 

 

　—Boom!!

 

 

　The sound of her eardrums bursting, and her vision turned white.

 

　Vertigo violently shook her.

 

 

　She doesn’t know where she is.

　She can only feel pain all over her body.

 

 

“Wha-what is that…” (Esther)

 

 

　Esther was lying face down in the darkness. However, something was pressing down on her. The first thing she did is to use [Might Force] and push up with all her might.

 

 

　Crack. Something heavy fell from Esther’s back.

 

 

“What the hell is going on?” (Esther)

 

 

　She stood up and looked around. As her eyes gradually become accustomed to the darkness, she sees an unimaginable scene.

 

 

“Wow… our house… it’s broken!?” (Esther)

 

 

　The magnificent house that was given to them by the lord had been completely destroyed.

 

　I have no idea how it came to be like this. Esther was looking around in dismay. She found Toru’s hand sticking out of the pile of rubble.

 

 

“—Toru!?” (Esther)

 

 

　She rushed up to him and pushed aside the debris with all her might. Esther’s head was no longer filled with anger toward Toru.

 

 

“Toru, are you okay? Toru!!!” (Esther)

 

 

　She called out to Toru, who had emerged from the rubble, but he did not respond. She shook his shoulder, but he still did not wake up. His body was frozen solid, as if he had been carved out of ice.

 

 

“…Oh no!” (Esther)

 

 

　Fearfully, she put her ear to Toru’s chest. Ten seconds, twenty seconds. She waited and waited, but she did not hear the sound she wished to hear.

 

 

“Th-that’s it… Toru is gone?” (Esther)

 

 

　Her mind went blank. Unable to accept the reality, Esther listened for Toru’s heartbeat again and again. But still no sound.

 

 

“Ha-how could it be……? Toru. How could he die that easily? This is Toru, this should have been nothing. I just want him to wake up and say ‘Good morning, Esther.’ in his typical carefree manner. Toru!” (Esther)

 

 

　Unable to hold her body upright, Esther collapsed. Tears were spilling down her cheeks.

 

 

“I shouldn’t have gotten angry if this was going to happen. I should have talked to Toru and told him how I felt. …I will not allow you to leave me like this! Toru!” (Esther)

 

 

　With tears streaming down her face, Esther put her arms around Toru’s body. She hugged him tightly, as if she was sharing her own life force with him.

 

 

“Wake up, Toru. I wanted to travel with you more. I wanted to visit different places, experience different things, laugh, cry… Be happy and carve memories one by one. I wanted to be with you forever! So, Toru, please. Open your eyes!!!” (Esther)

 

 

　Esther hugs Toru’s frozen body.

 

　A tear falls down Esther’s cheek.

 

 

　It was the next moment when her teardrop touched Toru’s body.

 

　Softly, five colors of light lit up in the darkness.

 

 

　The light came from the magic sword, the bracelet, the boots, and the cloak, respectively.

 

　The light enveloped Toru’s body in the blink of an eye.
