Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

158 – Memories of sleeping water drops_3

“who is this?”

“Who is this?”

“huh? Ah, this is Undine. hmm… … Do you remember Eugene? “The friend I brought from the Magic Tower last time and you two were diligently investigating.”

“Eugene! It’s Eugene! I know, Eugene! Hahaha!”

“I know, Eugene! Isn’t that the same thing you used on the Holy Sword? Hahaha!”

“Eujin and childhood friends… … … Can I say that? is not it… ? … Hmm. I heard it looks roughly similar to that. “Looking at it this time, it doesn’t seem to be the case again.”

“friend?”

“friend?”

“friend… ? I don’t know. “It didn’t seem like they were particularly close to each other.”

As the twins laughed at Manwol’s insincere answer, Undine flinched at their feet.

He was probably eavesdropping the whole time even if he couldn’t express it. Undine mumbled something incomprehensible in a tearful voice, then lost consciousness again and collapsed.

Manwol blinked and then smiled awkwardly.

“Oh, I guess I wasn’t sleeping. “Oh my~ I made a mistake.”

“Don’t move! Undine isn’t moving! “Is he dead?”

“really? Unbelievable! Is he dead? “Manwol killed him!”

“My eyes are dead! Manwol killed it! With words! “I have to tell Crescent Moon!”

“It’s not moving! Manwol killed it! With words! “I have to tell Crescent Moon!”

“There is no reaction.”

“Let me pinch my cheek!”

“huh. It’s dangerous, so let’s do it this way. “I’m poking you~”

“huh. We never know when it might strike us! One, two, three! “If you do that, I’ll stab you~”

The twins are poking Undine with a branch, wondering where they got it from.

Man-wol, who was inwardly laughing and feeling sorry for Undine, who was suffering without any response with empty eyes, suppressed the laughter that was flowing out and said.

“I thought it would be okay if I left it alone for a while, but I heard it’s been like this for a few days already. So, I kidnapped him from the DC family and brought him here. Can you guys wake Undy up first? “If things continue like this, I might end up just sleeping around for years.”

***

The twins who healed the plump undine quickly left again.

They, too, have not yet fully recovered from the injuries they sustained in the battle with Eugene. Since they had been forced to bring Undine out to wake them up, it was clear that they would be locked in the room again and busy repairing their bodies for a while.

Manwol turned his gaze towards Undine.

She had barely crossed the threshold of the singer’s face, and her lips were quivering as if her soul had been lost with an absolutely devastated face.

“Do you come to your senses now?”

“… … … ”

“Do you want to say something?”

“… … … .”

“Hmm… . It’s good that I managed to wake up from my sleep, but this is seriously serious. “Is it really something to be so hurt just because I got scolded? I’m brave even when I get scolded by Crescent Moon on a bad day.”

Even as Manwol was scratching his head, yawning, lying down and shaking his hands and legs, Undine stood there blankly, unable to move.

Even in the midst of uncertainty as to where I was, where I was, and what I was doing now, the last remaining fragment of memory dug deep into my heart and settled like a stone.

Tears poured out. Rather than complex emotions, a spinal-reflective sadness overtook the corners of my eyes.

Eugene’s last words. You didn’t hear it wrong.

Undine’s legs became weak.

“Sorry… Sorry… I’m sorry… ”

Then, he collapsed to the ground and started pounding his head on the cold stone floor, shivering. Manwol, who was staring blankly, tilted his head.

“huh? Are you going to apologize to Eugene now? “Eugene won’t even hear it.”

“no. I hate it… nah… Don’t hate me… … Don’t hate it… … Sorry… . I really… ”

“… ha. I was hoping to appeal that emotional side to Eugene in some way. I knew how to move Eugene around with my emotions. “If I had known it would be like this, would I have tried to throw it in a completely devastated state?”

As Manwol gently scratched, Undine’s sorrow began to grow like a snowball.

“uuu… Yuuujin… … ”

“uh? Huh? Don’t cry. hey! Hey!”

“Huhhh! Haaa… … !”

As Undine shed tears, the surrounding magical energy became moist.

Dark clouds rose on the ceiling of the Magic Tower, and heavy rain suddenly poured inside.

These tears are magic.

Shoot… … The unseasonable rainwater had the force of a waterfall. Water gradually begins to rise from the bottom. Undine spoke sadly, sadly, shedding tears.

“… I am… I am… now… It’s over. Eugene doesn’t even remember me. Ah, even if you know, you probably hate me… Hate it… Will. “Sniff!”

“… so.”

“Even when your life is in danger… Even then… Sniff! Eugene is kind enough to save me first… Sniff! Well, until I changed like that, I didn’t know anything about the mansion… Everything… Carefree… eat… Sleep… Playing… Ugh! “You idiot, you idiot, you idiot!”

“Undine.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry”

“stop.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. Huong, I didn’t write this like a fool. I should have known that it wasn’t your handwriting, but I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m a fool. I’m blind. I won’t do that again, so I won’t do that again.” “Please don’t tell me”

“The water is up to my waist… … Ha, let’s stop.”

Manwol, who was floating on the water, drenched, shook her head and snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, the water takes on the cold and freezes at once.

Undine stopped crying and opened her watery eyes. Manwol looked like a startled cat and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Are you conscious now?”

“… … “Sniff!”

“Still, there is one thing that is encouraging.”

“Sniff! Torturous… Ugh… Was Eugene even tortured? What should I do, poor Eugene…? What should I do… Wow, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… ”

“Inspiring. rubber. “It’s encouraging that Eugene didn’t kill you.”

“… … … .”

“oh? Don’t look at me with such contempt. This isn’t a joke~ It’s real! … “No, it’s real?”

Manwol said, stroking her blood-red hair.

“Eujin looked at you and said, ‘I’m going to cut you,’ right? I heard that much too. But if someone other than you had gone, you wouldn’t have said that. They probably killed him without even giving him that kind of comment. Listen carefully. I’m serious about this. Eugene is out of his mind right now. We tried countless times before calling you. It all came to naught. “Once again, it’s a miracle that Eugene didn’t attack you.”

“then… Sniff! “What should I do?”

“Hmm~ Are you going to just give up after being criticized once?”

“… … yes?”

Undine barely stopped crying and looked up at the full moon from a distance.

A feeling close to pure whiteness of an innocent young girl.

Manwol grinned and spoke without thinking too much.

“Kick it until you make it.”

… Without even guessing what effect those words would have.

***

Same time, same place, unchanged.

He stood there like a painting.

Did you say that the situation was left behind in a barrier that Manwol and other Moonsangs of the Magic Tower worked together to establish?

Undine, who remembered once again that Eugene was trapped, burst into tears again.

“Ha-am, kids these days are unnecessarily emotional~” Leaving behind Man-wol, who was shaking her head as if she was tired, Undine approached Eugene again and opened her mouth.

“you… … ”

I couldn’t bring myself to say my name.

I myself questioned whether I deserved it.

Let’s calm down. Undine. Even if you cry now, nothing will happen.

remember. Don’t forget what Manwol said.

naturally. Very naturally…

A little bit before. It’s just a little bit different.

Don’t worry, Undine.

The one in front of me right now is Eugene.

Because this is the Eugene you know.

“Suh… … ha… ”

Undine took a deep breath and opened her mouth with a calm voice and expression.

“I am an Undine from the Disizu family who has become an enemy in the Magic Tower. Greetings to the new moon, the tip of the precious moon phase. New Moon. You may be embarrassed by your sudden inauguration, but this is something that all the moon leaders of the Magic Tower have agreed to. “We would like to first express our gratitude to Wolsang, who protects the shape, meaning, and will of the moon and will gift us with great grace and refreshing morning sunlight in the future.”

“… … … … .”

“Yes, you were surprised. I don’t think the commander-in-chief would have said anything. I heard he suffered a serious injury that led to his decision to retire. Unable to leave the position vacant, after searching for the most suitable person, we came to the conclusion that Shinwol also has blood from his blood relatives… … … ”

“Why did you come?”

“… … … … .”

“go away.”

He wasn’t even angry. His tone and expression were nameless.

My heart feels like it’s freezing. I am filled with sorrow and tears well up in my eyes.

But it should never be revealed.

It doesn’t have to be today.

Undine bit her lip and took a heavy breath, barely managing to curl the corners of her mouth.

“Hehe, yes. Thanks to your words, I will see you again tomorrow. “I hope that the trainees of the Magic Tower who share the same goal as the noble Wolsang will remember me, Undine.”
