I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 219

I am not a returner Episode 219

Interlude – Reunion (1)

“You’re going… to save Mr. Ojin?”

Isabella bit her lip gently.

The image of the mother demon beast rushing violently toward the crack appeared in my mind.

What would be the point of going to save him too late?

“Mr. Oh Jin, Mr. Oh Jin… already….”

“You’re not dead, Oh Jin-ni.”

“How do you know that?!”

Isabella jumped up from the bed and shouted.

“just.”

“Just like that? Do you think that makes sense?”

I clenched my fists roughly.

“I… I should have stayed. “It’s me, not Oh Jin!”

Even if he had stayed there, his chances of surviving were extremely low.

It’s just me, but what about Oh Jin?

“….”

Ha-eun looked at Isabella, who was sobbing with tears streaming down her face with her mouth tightly shut.

“Still, I have to go.”

No matter how slim the possibility of being alive is.

As long as there was any hope, I had to go save him.

“What if… I go and find nothing? What if Oh Jin is found dead? Then… then what are you going to do!”

I cried out like a cry.

Only now can I have any hope that I might still be alive.

but.

Even if they found him dead.

Aren’t all the strings of hope that were connected like a thread going to disappear?

“Then what should I do?”

Ha-eun shrugged her shoulders with a calm expression.

“We have to follow them.”

His tone was so carefree, as if asking why he was asking such an obvious question.

“…yes?”

Isabella opened her mouth blankly, looking at Ha-eun, who was spouting out absurd words with a nonchalant expression.

If you find Ojin dead, you will follow him to death?

“What does that mean?”

“Do you mean it literally? “I can’t live without him anymore.”

A life without misdiagnosis.

Even if you live, isn’t it worthless?

“Well, it’s probably the same for that Ojini bastard.”

Ha-eun raised the corners of her mouth with a confident expression.

“That’s…”

Isabella chewed her lip at the confident appearance that didn’t even leave the slightest suspicion.

It feels as if there is a huge wall erected between Oh Jin and Ha Eun that he cannot dare to overcome.

“…It’s disgraceful.”

I was angry.

Ha-eun is able to say ‘death’ so casually and calmly.

The confidence that I am sure will be the same for Oh Jin as well.

It felt so cowardly and shameless.

“Sister, I like Oh Jin.”

“know.”

“…Weren’t you two dating?”

“yes? “Well, it hasn’t been long since we started dating in earnest.”

Isabella looked at Ha-eun with an expression of incomprehension.

Isn’t this usually the time to get angry at a stray cat or something?

“Are you okay?”

“huh? what?”

“Even if I like Oh Jin.”

“Well, honestly, I don’t feel very good.”

Ha-eun crossed her arms and lightly shrugged her shoulders.

“What’s important is not what you think of Ojini, but what Ojini thinks of you?”

“…Are you confident that it will never be taken away?”

“If you think it’s going to be taken away, you’re going to scream that you’re going to die.”

He continued speaking while bursting into laughter.

“I told you, right? “Ojini says she can’t live without me.”

“….”

A thick tendon sprouted on Isabella’s forehead.

She bit her lip and glared at Ha-eun.

“Just wait and see.”

I thought the second one was good too.

I thought that if I could bring at least a little of his love, that would be enough.

but.

“I’ll make you regret those words.”

My thoughts changed.

If there is a second one, it should be Ha-eun, not yourself.

“Okay, okay. “Just try hard.”

Ha-eun giggled and ruffled Isabella’s hair.

“Don’t touch my head!”

“Wow, look at that smell. “My nose feels like it’s going to dry out.”

“That’s a lie!”

“But you haven’t washed once since you came, right?”

“that…!”

Isabella blushed and rushed into the shower room.

Ha-eun smiled as she looked at Isabella’s back as she hurriedly entered the shower room.

“Wow, what an amazing old year.”

I brought the palm of my hand that had been stroking Isabella’s head to my nose and sniffed it.

It was clear that he had not even washed after a fierce battle, but the faint scent of roses sweetly penetrated his nose.

“…I really wonder who was so mean.”

I sighed and looked at the shower room door that was tightly closed.

“….”

A deep silence fell.

Ha-eun uncrossed her arms.

The hand that uncrossed my arm trembled awkwardly.

‘Ojina.’

I clenched my fists with trembling hands.

I felt like I was going to die from the distant fear pressing down on my throat.

‘You’re alive… right?’

She chewed her cheek as she looked up at the dark night sky beyond the window.

“My sister will come to rescue you, so just wait a moment, you idiot.”

Ha-eun turned around with her eyes shining sharply.

* * *

After Isabella finished showering.

The place Ha-eun and Isabella headed to was the sanctuary.

A magnificent temple shining with a soft silver light.

Inside the desolately empty temple, a silver-haired goddess stood firmly.

[You’ve arrived.]

Vega, who had her hands together as if praying with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.

A sacred energy that fills you with awe just by looking at it.

Isabella opened her mouth in a daze, feeling overwhelmed as if she were encountering a scene from a myth.

“This is… Vega?”

She, who had only seen a small version of Vega so far, couldn’t help but be shocked by Vega’s true appearance.

[That’s right.]

“Ah…”

Isabella’s eyes wavered.

Brilliant silver hair and sparkling yellow eyes.

Skin as white as a snowflake and an elegant and noble atmosphere.

Until now, she had been confident that she would not be outdone no matter where she went when it came to her looks, but after seeing Vega’s real face, she felt as if her strong confidence was being eroded.

‘Now that I think about it, Vega seems to think very highly of Mr. Ojin.’

Every time he appeared on Earth, he sat on Ojin’s head and clung to him.

Of course, seeing him call him ‘my child’, I think it is an affection close to maternal love.

‘I don’t think it will be easy to get first.’

A deep sigh flowed from Isabella’s mouth.

“Vega said you don’t know where Ojini is right now, right?”

[That’s right.]

Vega nodded with a heavy expression.

To put it simply, the relationship between a constellation and an awakened person is like the relationship between a tree and a seed.

It is possible to give a seed called stigmata and allow the power of the star to grow within it, but in the end, the stigmata that grew within the awakened person’s body was a ‘different tree’.

There was no way to find out in real time where the awakened person who gave the stigmata was dead or alive, where they were, and what they were doing.

“What about appearing in a small body?”

[I used too much power before, so it will be difficult to manifest for a while.]

“Okay.”

Ha-eun swallowed her sleep.

It was difficult to wait for Hansi to be relieved of her restrictions in such an urgent situation.

“…Then I guess I have no choice but to go to the demonic realm first.”

[How do you plan to go?]

“Well, the crack in Sokcho has closed, so there is only one way to get there.”

Ha-eun’s eyes shined sharply.

“I’m going to the first crack.”

A very large gate with a diameter of 50 km located at the North Pole.

Because of the powerful demonic beasts that flowed out of the Demon World, they had no choice but to cross to the Demon World through the gate, which is said to be the most dangerous place on Earth.

[But.]

“I know. “It’s dangerous.”

Ha-eun continued speaking with a voice full of determination.

“But you still have to go.”

[…Thank you.]

“Heng, I’m not really going to save Vega for you, are I?”

[Hehe. I know.]

Vega nodded with a faint smile.

She looked back at Isabella and Ha-eun.

[Still, it’s too dangerous to go alone with just the two of us.]

“…Then?”

[Follow me. There is a constellation to ask for help.]

Vega walked slowly out of the temple.

The place she arrived at after walking a long path made of starlight.

“Wow… what is here?”

A temple filled with various colorful decorations.

Unlike the temple of Vega, which was desolate and bare of anything, it was a temple filled with all kinds of valuables, as if all the world’s wealth had been gathered in one place.

[Deneb.]

After entering the temple, Vekah called out his name in a low voice.

Wooooow!

A dazzling array of lights filled the temple.

What emerged through the brilliant light was a boy with dark blue hair.

The jewels draped over her small body gave off a sparkling light.

At first glance, he looked unsightly because of the ridiculous amount of jewelry he wore, but the boy’s perfect appearance was so wonderful that even his unsightliness became noble.

“…what?”

Deneb pursed her lips with a sullen expression.

[I have come to ask for your help.]

“What? help?”

Deneb snorted as if it was absurd.

“Do you… do you know what I’ve been like since the last proxy war?”

After suffering a crushing defeat in the last proxy match.

The number of constellations that already doubted his qualifications as the ‘North Star’ increased.

The same goes for human society.

It was the same with the constellations, where if a famous and well-known being made one mistake, they would rush in and bite him.

“It would be better if only I was insulted!”

I am used to being ridiculed and despised.

Because I had to live for a long time being compared to Vega and Polaris.

but.

“My… my children!”

Deneb whimpers.

When I thought of his children meeting an ugly constellation and suffering ridicule they did not deserve, I felt like my heart would burn.

[Aren’t you the one who first asked for a proxy war?]

“That’s it.”

[Well, I agree that my child was overdoing it at that time. I’m sorry.]

“….”

Deneb closed her mouth and lowered her head.

Vega cautiously approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

[Don’t be upset. Didn’t I say this before? No matter what anyone says, you are a member of the North Star.]

“…Hmph. “Do you think I’ll do you a favor like that?”

Deneb crossed her arms and turned her head.

Vega placed her hand on his shoulder and opened her mouth in a low voice.

[…The woman’s child is trapped in the demonic realm.]

“What?”

Deneb’s eyes widened.

The Demon World is an unknown world that is not widely known even to the Constellations.

If you were trapped there, you would have already….

[Save the woman’s child.]

Vega fell from Deneb.

She folded her dress and slowly began to kneel.

[Please kneel like this…]

Before Vega’s knees hit the ground.

“What are you doing now!”

Deneb jumped up and ran forward, lifting Vega up as she was about to kneel.

“The Constellation doesn’t carelessly kneel to others! “What are you going to do if your child hears about this later?”

Deneb said bluntly and turned around.

“You said you were going to the Demon Lord, right?”

He brushed his dark blue hair and snorted.

“I’m waiting for you. “I’m going to gather my children.”

A calm smile appeared on Vega’s lips.

[Thank you.]

“Heng! “I didn’t do that for you! If Noerang dies in vain, the prestige of my children who lost to him will be diminished!”

Deneb clinks with an angry expression.

[….]

Vega looked at Deneb with kind eyes and a faint smile on her lips.
