I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

Episode 75. Everything was as expected.

After finishing the meal, we headed to a performance hall where we could use the admission ticket given to us by the vampire.

The building, which looked majestic at first glance, looked as if ordinary people or former laborers would not even be allowed to enter.

At such a sight, I was worried that I would be kicked out if I was not a noble, but I could actually feel deep awe on the face of the gatekeeper who received the ticket.

“This was rude. You were invited by the biggest sponsor of this concert hall. “Let’s go right in.”

… I couldn’t believe it, but that vampire was my biggest supporter.

No, they probably have prepared a number of disguised identities that allow them to be socially active.

It’s not for nothing that she hasn’t been caught even though she is one of the most wanted criminals. As I was thinking about it, the employee who was guiding me to the bleachers came out and showed me her daughter, Mary Lynn, and started smiling happily.

“It looks like you are a lover. “We’ll take you to the couples’ seats right away.”

“Yes? No, there… ….”

“Yes, then without hesitation.”

“Marilyn!?”

“hehehe, what do you think? “It means that everyone views it favorably.”

Marilyn said that and walked towards my seat, taking my hand in front of me.

Unable to shake off her hand, I reluctantly sat down in the unfamiliar seat shown to me by her employee.

It looks like we are a couple~ It seems like he is teaching us how to do things…….

“Are you sure you don’t like it?”

When I was feeling burdened by such a position, Marylin turned to me and asked.

I was conflicted about how to answer that, but then reluctantly took a seat and sighed deeply.

“I’m just hanging out with you this time.”

Yes, I decided to spend tonight for Marylin.

As I sat next to Mary Lynn and waited for the lights in the play to turn off, I began to faintly hear her voice in the darkness.

“It would be nice if we could continue hanging out together in the future.”

A voice that very faintly reveals emotion.

She tried to ignore it and pretend she didn’t hear it, but she couldn’t ignore the warmth of his hands that were wrapped around hers.

I just focus on being quiet, holding her hand, and spending time with her.

****

-Roaring.

The street we left after finishing watching the play.

While passers-by around us were exchanging comments or returning home in the carriage, Marylin looked back at me and began to express her anticipation.

“How was Hyosung? “Did you enjoy the play?”

“Ahahahaha, I don’t know. Because I’m a person who has nothing to do with that kind of thing… ….”

Usually in situations like this, I would share my appreciation with friends who came with me, but perhaps because I was used to visual media such as TV and movies, I felt that the play didn’t really attract my attention.

When watching on TV, there are close-ups of the actors’ faces and dynamic effects, but the only way to know what’s going on on stage when you sit in your seat is through exaggerated movements and shouting lines.

As interest drops from the beginning, it becomes difficult to immerse yourself, and at some point, interest drops and you focus only on observing what’s around you…….

In the end, all I remember is staring at Marylin’s face.

“I’m sorry. “We watched it together for the most part, but unlike Marilyn, I couldn’t watch it seriously.”

Yes, unlike me, she watched the play very seriously.

Since he is a bard who writes stories by profession, he would also find stories created by others interesting and sensitive.

She felt aggrieved by the fact that she didn’t share those sentiments, but she didn’t mind my apology and just held her hands together.

“It’s okay. Even if Hyosung doesn’t understand… …. “Just being together like this is enough.”

The harmony of fingers accompanied by a gentle whisper.

Although my body seemed to be burning with shyness, for some reason, I felt anxiety coming over me at this moment.

As time passes after the planned meal is over.

Because she feels that the time she can spend with her is getting shorter.

“If this is… ….”

But it’s okay. Even after today, we will have a lot of time together in the future.

The reason I can’t say it out loud is because I’m already predicting how this meeting will end.

“Is this okay?”

I was worried that such anxiety would pass on to her, but instead she just held my hand tightly.

He turned towards me with a look that seemed dangerous, with his usual composure gone.

“… Yes. “This is all I need for now.”

Even though I felt my heart shake at the look in her eyes, I ended up silently holding her hand and trying to hang out with her.

No matter how disappointing the results may be, just a little longer.

If this is a dream that will break someday, I hope to leave at least a little better memory.

“Is there a place you want to go?”

“Anything is okay as long as I’m with Hyosung.”

To satisfy her expectations, I wanted to follow her wishes and have fun with her wherever my feet touched.

From Noble mtl dot com

A series of appreciation for small performances, events, and structures in places where people gather…….

Sometimes I would go into her store and look through her things, and if I saw something that caught her eye, I would buy one and hang it up for her.

“Mr. Hyosung. How about me? Does it suit you?”

“It’s pretty. Really.”

It was the truth without a single lie.

That thought has not changed since I first met her.

“Is it okay to eat that much?”

“hehehe, it’s okay, because traveling is surprisingly physically demanding. Hyosung, would you like a bite too?”

“Well, then I’ll just have one bite.”

“Now, here. Ah~”

I like the way she approaches me without any sense of distance.

She doesn’t do that to anyone, just to me.

Because she treats me as special, I feel like she is also considered special to me.

“hehehe.”

The gentle smile you always have.

When her mouth opens, a faint sound of laughter escapes, and a whisper towards me.

“Ahahahaha~”

At some point, it all turned emotional, and the moment the atmosphere reached me, she burst out laughing.

When I first saw him, I felt happy that I was the one who brought out genuine laughter that I had never encountered before.

It feels as if the person she is was completed by meeting me…….

Your smile has become clearer than when we first met, and I hope it will continue in the future.

“… “I left my master’s side and wandered the world until I came back to you.”

But, sadly, the time has come for that heart to come to an end.

It is time for the moon to rise and the lights that fill the night streets begin to subside one by one.

She, who was walking through an alley that was barely illuminated by her dim light, stood behind me on the way home and began to whisper her words.

“It’s a confusing world. Except for the empire, everything that can be called a country has almost disappeared, and only a few small tribes or people who continue the legacy by maintaining only superficial traditions remain.”

“… “Marilyn.”

“I came to see that even the beastmen who threaten humanity are caught up in the undead. “Even those whom humanity considers to be fortunes are merely survivors in this chaotic world.”

“… ….”

“… I headed outside the continent just in case, but the place was already in a state where nothing could be done by human hands. “It was as if they were isolating us on this land and not even allowing us to go outside.”

What continues one after another is the truth about this world that was only told through someone’s mouth.

At this moment, when I walked through it with my own feet and felt the emotions I saw with my own eyes, I once again realized how dangerous this world is.

It would not be strange if this daily routine were to fall apart.

I have to continue to live with the anxiety that this may all disappear in the blink of an eye…….

“In such a confusing world….”

As I gradually realized this, I felt her weight being placed behind me.

She puts her hand on my body as if to hug me, but then she lowers her hand and just rests her head.

“I encountered a special being who was not forgotten for a single moment.”

She stopped expressing her feelings right away with such simple actions and began speaking in a whisper while standing behind me.

“You know, Hyosung, that those feelings remain the same even while you are gone, right?”

I know.

What does she think of me?

“I know it’s an unreasonable request.”

He risked his life to betray the person he had sworn loyalty to.

How much it means to me that the place I chose to return to after wandering through this chaotic world was next to me.

“Still, since we’ve come this far, I think we should speak up no matter what the outcome is.”

“… ….”

A moment of silence.

I took advantage of that gap to gradually move my head behind me in the darkness.

Unlike me, who finally got the courage to face her after refusing to face her true feelings all along, she only looked at me from the beginning and was waiting for an opportunity to convey her true feelings.

“Mr. Hyosung.”

Marilyn Surgeland.

Perhaps even before the relationship I have now, the person who had the potential to represent that future.

“Please, can you be my companion?”

The moment I heard that dangerous confession, I tightly clenched my hands hanging down and pondered the words that had been stored inside me.

The time has come.

Nevertheless, the reason I couldn’t speak up easily was probably because I lacked resolve.

Just a little… ….

I felt regretful because I didn’t know if our future would have been different if we had been given a little more time to break up that day.

“I’m sorry, I…” ….”

But in the end, it’s just a matter of whether it’s early or late.

I had to give her the answer I had decided on.

Because he truly cared about her, he tried to forget her as written in her letter.

“I can’t be with Ms. Marilyn.”

Taking advantage of her gap to change her new relationship, it would actually be an insult to her heart.

****

‘I can’t be with Marylin.’

The moment when words born from such feelings leaked out from the crystal ball.

Airi chewed over the future she had predicted over and over again, and even took the time to reflect on it, biting her lip.

‘…… ‘We can’t do it together.’

‘I’m sorry. For me……. ‘I already have someone to be with.’

The first time, the reason we chose to be together, and the future too.

She knows best that her vow is not light, as she has proven her feelings by hugging him again and again.

You can also be confident in the belief that you will be with him forever in the future because you know what kind of future he will move into.

“… That’s right. “I am the one you chose.”

” Because you chose me. I guess I have to trust you too. Mr. Hyosung.”

The future may change, but even that changed future is based on the present.

So Airi has only repeated one truth countless times.

No matter what the future holds after this, what was connected to him in the past, and what he chose now is himself.

‘Hey, I came back too late.’

The key is how the other person accepts that reality.

At least in the future he predicted, there was no sign of the other party trying to force him.

He had already left his side, even prepared to die, and too much time had passed for him to come back.

If he rejects him, he must have already made up his mind to quietly withdraw.

‘I can’t help it. I don’t want to embarrass Hyosung either, so let’s keep it like this… ….’

Yes. If it were a planned future, I would definitely give up here.

– Jijijik.

But the opponent is second in rank to the Demon King’s army.

As he has a history of changing the future he predicted several times, it would be narrow-minded to stick with a person who could be the starting point of his whimsy and assume that things will go as planned.

“It turned out as expected, so I guess I should get ready soon.”

So what you need right now is a plan.

A meticulous and perfect plan that can stop those who have the potential to change the future, which even they themselves do not dare anticipate.

“… Airi, don’t relax from now on.”

Airi had thought about that countless times until this moment came.

I strengthened my resolve by waiting where I thought the opponent would arrive.

“It’s not easy to change the future against the transcendent.”

Everything is love and mission.

Keeping in mind that this is to find the best future where the two can coexist.
