chapter 837
837. [Western Front] – To my sister’s man (113)
***
A series of absurd facts.
However, after hearing Cheonseong’s explanation, Anastasia cannot help but believe it.
truth.
Han Tiansheng’s eyes looking directly at him.
And that attitude.
Even a voice full of earnest wishes.
None of it was a lie.
Now Anastasia knew that too.
“… … .”
Suddenly, in a daze, I lowered my head to find that the area where Han Tiansheng’s saliva had touched was almost completely healed, leaving only a faint scar.
Compared to the areas where other cuts still remained, the changes in the area where the saliva had touched were even more noticeable.
Hesitant.
Still, Anastasia hesitated.
No, I had no choice but to hesitate.
Why does Han Cheon-seong talk to himself as if he is so determined? And why is he so cautious that he says he thought about it hundreds of times, thinking about it for hours?
There was only one reason for it all.
-Glesia.
… … Because Han Cheon-seong is Glesia’s lover.
Anastasia’s only blood relative and the biggest reason why she is on the front lines.
And it was because he and his sister, who could be said to be the purpose of life, were lovers.
In addition, Anastasia was guessing now.
What did Han Tiansheng ask of him, and why did he look at himself with such caution and speak earnestly?
“Then I…” “What can I do?”
Even as I opened my mouth in a daze, my mind was extremely confused.
Still, I thought I should ask directly.
There is an incomparable difference between guessing and hesitating on your own and hearing the right answer.
“First of all, just like I showed my rude behavior a little while ago, I think passing saliva will probably have the greatest effect.”
When Han Tiansheng spoke very cautiously, my eyes suddenly widened.
I felt it right away.
‘It’s effective in saliva.’
This probably means that it is best to absorb the saliva directly inside the mucous membrane rather than through the skin.
“wait for a sec. “Just give me some time to think.”
“Yes, I just told you because I thought I should tell you too. I have no intention of forcing anything. “It’s okay to take your time and think about it.”
As I watched Han Cheon-seong continue speaking urgently, my mind felt like it was going to explode.
Sarah.
I carefully distanced myself from Han Cheon-seong and gently pressed my throbbing forehead.
‘This…’ … .’
How on earth should I accept this?
It was like a twist of fate.
I even felt an indescribable disgust, as if they were forcing a reality that should not exist and forcing that reality into me.
Clearly, through Han Tiansheng’s words, I also learned many special secrets of my body. Among them, saying that my saliva had such an effect was not a simple statement.
If this fact is revealed, the imperial family will probably try to tie it up in some way.
‘The enormous growth achieved by an individual can have an impact on others.’
Because that’s nonsense.
Beyond the therapeutic effect, it was an effect that was far removed from reality. It will probably be a huge problem and a huge mess at the same time.
Right now, to me and to Han Cheon-seong.
“ha… … .”
While letting out a deep sigh, he wiped his face.
My mind was blank.
Overwhelming power of destruction.
If Eustea’s answer proposed by Han Cheon-seong had the power of such determination, I would have rejected the proposal without hesitation.
I would have thought harder, focused on my strength, and tried to push myself even harder.
however.
The exact answer given by Han Cheon-seong felt like a poisoned apple to me.
I know that what Eustea did was the correct way, but I also know that the current situation is no longer easy.
I just can’t accept it.
No, it was so hard to accept that I felt like I was going to get nauseous.
“Wow… !”
I urgently covered my mouth and barely managed to hold back the nausea that was threatening to burst out.
‘How can I really do that?’
Reason understands Han Tiansheng.
I already understood that he didn’t say such absurd things out of selfish interest or vain intention.
And while he was explaining it to me, Han Cheon-seong also seemed to be reluctant.
He himself said that saying such things to me was a hardship in itself.
That meant that he was sufficiently rational and made a reasonable decision. And he mustered up the courage to speak carefully to me.
Even as I began to understand the situation one by one, my heart continued to shake greatly.
“… … .”
I looked at my hands blankly.
Pure white hands.
And even as I looked at those hands, I suddenly thought of my younger sister whom I can no longer see.
Pure, kind… … She is my loving sister who I can give more affection to than anyone else.
‘Glesia… … .’
What on earth should this sister do?
I thought about it blankly, but no answer came to mind.
First the conditions.
The bodies that have been released from the seal of the nine apostles and reconstructed, like me and Han Tiansheng, are special.
They say that each other’s body fluids have a very mysterious effect. Even when I thought about what other bodily fluids there were, nothing came to mind.
The most direct method other than the method of passing saliva directly into the mouth.
And no matter how much I thought about how to avoid crossing the line, I couldn’t figure it out.
‘Something like sweat… … There are limits.’
In fact, it was more difficult to convey sweat.
It needs to come in contact with saliva to be effective, but considering the conditions, if sweat is not absorbed directly into the body, the effect will be greatly reduced.
And how on earth do you get sweat into your mouth? Even as I thought about it, my mind was more blank than ever.
I could barely remember the last time I sweated in the first place.
Sreuk. I turned around without thinking.
“… … Han Cheon-seong. “I’ll just ask you one question.”
“yes. “Please speak in peace.”
I looked at Han Tiansheng, who paused and responded to my words, and opened his mouth without hesitation.
“The fact that saliva is effective… … Does that mean you have to come in direct contact with the saliva? “It doesn’t mean much to touch the external skin.”
“yes. From what I heard from the central magic tower lord, the effect of bodily fluids is most evident when absorbed directly. So, absorbing it through the skin probably won’t have much of an effect unless the wound is the same as before.”
The answering voice is cautious.
And it was just as I expected when I saw Han Tiansheng’s eyes wandering somewhere other than me.
“What you said… … I understood most of the conditions. “I’ll think about it a little more.”
“Yes, yes!”
I turned around again to see Han Tiansheng answering urgently.
Sreuk!
Even though the hand holding the ice sword was filled with unprecedented strength, I quickly thought of the number of cases.
‘Eostea showed me the answer.’
And Han Tiansheng knew the answer and presented the solution to me. He said that he would recreate Eustea’s power, and asked me to help him with his power.
There was no sense of heterogeneity in the process, and I understood all the conditions.
Why shouldn’t I do it?
Why does Han Tiansheng have to do it?
And the reasons why my support was needed during the process were all valid.
Even when I thought about it, I could understand why I thought about it for so long.
however.
I remembered another case.
‘In my power… … .’
Is it really not possible?
Eustea was known as the hero among heroes, as she was known to have stood up to the apostle of the beginning.
He was a hero of such a different level that even in ancient history, he was considered a hero who never saw the light of day due to the dark clouds of the empire.
My own method, excluding the method he chose.
‘They said that overwhelming power is meaningless.’
Eustea knew early on that that was not the answer.
But, I… … Maybe I can do it.
‘If I use the skill, I can erase this entire space with unprecedented power… … ?’
And if I try to protect Han Cheon-seong while time and space are frozen, wouldn’t I be able to go out without ignoring the aftereffects of that power?
I didn’t think the possibility was zero.
However, Eustea’s self-talk, as Han Cheon-seong said, kept denying my feelings.
“… … “It is impossible even with overwhelming force.”
This wasn’t a matter of trying or not.
If you try and fail, you die.
I may be able to survive, but if the conditioned reflex of my skill explodes, Han Tiansheng, trapped in this space, will inevitably die.
It was the worst of the worst.
I just can’t take it. And since there was no guarantee that it would succeed, I especially shouldn’t have done it.
however… … .
I kept getting distracted by unreasonable thoughts and trying to keep my thoughts in check.
I know the answer.
Because I want to ignore the answer.
It was because my heart was vehemently rejecting the idea that I should come in contact with Han Tiansheng.
Tight.
Even as I was chewing my lips hard, I felt like I was going crazy.
Then, he turned his gaze blankly and caught Han Tiansheng in his eyes again. After explaining everything to me, he gave me the power to make the decision as if he didn’t want to think about it any more.
“… !”
And when he made eye contact with me, I saw him looking startled and avoiding my gaze.
It was visible just by that appearance.
Upright character. He is a genius with a complete inner personality, something that is rarely seen among officers these days.
‘… It’s not that I don’t like Han Tiansheng.’
I thought blankly in my mind.
No matter how much I denied it or tried to find another way, my heart knew.
The method that Han Tiansheng told me is the way for me and myself to survive, and the fastest way to support the officers who are currently out there to deal with the evil called the Nine Apostles.
It’s just reckless to try to think of any other path.
And I also didn’t have any ill feelings toward Han Cheon-seong.
Rather, he is likable and trusts me to the point where I think he is one of the few men I can treat with good intentions.
however.
Beyond anything else, one thing bothered me.
‘Glesia… … .’
How on earth could I do that to my sister’s man?
My mind continued to distort.
My reason knows endless answers, but in rare cases, my emotions try to reject all my choices.
… … .
I didn’t know how much time had passed.
“… … “Han Cheon-seong.”
But I finally opened my mouth.
“yes. Major Anastasia.”
I calmed my mind to the calm voice and forced myself to speak.
“My saliva on you…” … “Is it okay if I just let it flow?”
The voice wavered.
“… … yes. “I think that’s the best, too.”
And seeing Han Cheonseong shaking at the sound of my voice, I struggled to walk.
Sarah.
“Let’s do it right away. “There is no more time.”
I couldn’t hesitate any longer.
There was a clearly presented answer, and I just had to do it.
