Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 400
Episode 400:
Because I’m Losing My Memory.
It’s too painful to forget the fact that the existence of yourself has put me in your heart, so please kill me.
if that doesn’t work either.
I’d rather leave a trace so that I can remember even my body.
Her cries were so desperate and desperate that I couldn’t bear to watch them.
It wasn’t like this even when I was suffering from the disease.
It wasn’t that anyone who had seen hope once didn’t know how great the despair would feel when the spark of hope goes out again.
She tried to loosen the front of the robe she was wearing.
Grabbing her hand, I frowned and stood up.
Then, holding her back from desperately clinging on while crying, she spoke firmly.
“Be alert.”
At my short words, she flinched greatly.
“no no! I hate this! I just met you! I finally mustered up the courage to meet you! How did I get to Hines!”
But in a panic, her seizures relapsed.
“I remember. Even if the princess loses all her memories, I will remember her…”
“I hate it!!”
With a furious cry, she fell from me.
And rarely got angry.
“I like you more! That I like you more! But why are you the only one who remembers me! Even if you do, I will remember you! I like you more, but I… I adore you more…”
The feeling of desperation came out and made me bitter enough to make me think that choosing to save her was a bad thing.
“You can take everything else, but please take this memory…”
I quietly closed my eyes at her pleading words with tears.
The power contained in the title produced the near-impossible effect of re-establishing her soul in the body instead of taking what Aria valued most in her life.
If I did something hasty here, the miracle of the second month might be manifested.
In the end, there was no solution to the situation.
“Listen carefully. Princess.”
“…”
“Memories are not perfect. Except for special cases, memories are very vague. So just because a memory disappears doesn’t mean it’s completely erased.”
Why do newborn babies grow up and not remember when they were young?
There are many hypotheses about it, but I tend to believe in one hypothesis.
They say that they cannot remember it because they cannot store the memory through language.
If you cannot describe and recall the situation with language, then the memory cannot remain.
that was the theory.
Of course, that memory disappeared, but I believed that it wasn’t.
It cannot be expressed in words, so it cannot be brought out. The memory itself will surely remain, whether through the eyes, smell, or touch.
“Then can you remember me?”
“I will make sure to remind you.”
Even if it was a lie, I wanted to reassure her.
Did my intentions shine through?
Only then did Aria look relieved as if she had endured ten years.
It wasn’t a lie with no possibility at all.
In fact, it was written in the penalty that memories would be erased.
However, it seemed that there were no variables.
Hines estate.
She woke up as a member of the Nine Tails and shouted at me as if screaming.
About the reason for visiting the Hines estate.
She who forgot the Hines estate remembers it? This can only be accepted as meaning that it is not a complete deletion, or that the deletion process itself is very unstable.
The fact that others don’t remember you is really sad.
On the other hand, if she realizes that she will not be able to remember the memories she really cherished.
That, too, would be painful in the same case.
“I can’t solve the memory right away, but I’ll find a way. Before that, I will grant you at least a simple wish.”
At my question, she seemed to be pondering for a long time.
Then, pressing on my chest, I took a deep breath and spoke carefully.
“Just one day…”
she said cautiously.
“Please allow me your heart for just one day.”
It was her last wish to remember me.
After a brief thought, I quietly nodded my head.
“Is that enough?”
“Yes…”
The answer was short.
* * *
Aria had a pure personality.
But that doesn’t mean she’s an ignorant idiot.
I know everything I know, but being ashamed is another matter.
One day out of four days.
In the meantime, I forgot everything else and focused on her, as Aria had wished.
Why am I caring and caring for her so much?
If you think so, there is no other way to express your sympathy for the dazzlingly innocent and pitiful girl.
I really can’t do it when other people see it.
Even in a situation filled with half lies, it seemed that Aria was satisfied.
What she wanted was not my undivided attention.
just being by my side.
Talking to me and making eye contact.
That was enough.
“Prince! Bitten! What something!”
“You are good at it. slowly. Just wind the rope very slowly.”
At my words, Aeria grabbed the wooden fishing rod and trembled and gave strength.
As she, who was born a beast but has a weak body, was swept around in the sea, startled by the pulling power, I hugged her from behind, grabbed her fishing rod, and quickly reeled the line.
“Remove your strength.”
“yes yes!”
“now!”
slam!!
With those words, a large fish jumped into the air with a fishing hook in the sea dyed red.
However, its appearance was unusual.
Airia’s face turned white at the appearance of a giant moray eel that was 1 meter tall.
It was also a grotesque moray eel that ran on four legs and only had a huge head.
Its size, when stretched out, was similar to that of a human being.
Did this world spread radioactivity into the sea?
In the first place, he was not a guy who deserved to be caught with a fishing rod, but the reality happened.
“Kyaaak!”
While holding her as she fell backwards with a cute scream, I gently wrapped my hand around the grotesque moray eel that fell from the sky as if it were about to swallow Aeria in one bite, then swung it around.
[Circle 7]
[Large Discharge]
Ultra-high voltage flashes instantaneously.
The bizarre moray eel, which was fiercely attacking Aeria, was exposed to the 7th circle lightning magic in an instant, was roasted to a golden brown, and fell helplessly onto the deck.
“Ha… ha…”
“It’s a staggering size.”
“Is this what fishing is all about? Risking their lives like the mercenaries…”
For Aeria, who had never seen the lives of anglers, the experience of fishing like this seemed like a refreshing shock.
At this, I was a bit mischievous and smiled.
“of course. The sea is full of dangerous creatures. Imagine a guy with dozens of legs clinging to his whole body while stuttering.”
If you think deeply, ‘I’m selling this baby!’ There were plenty of gaps to make.
However, Aria, who was naive, showed the eccentricity of believing the words straight away.
“Three Gods… I never dreamed that finding edible fish would be so difficult.”
I desperately resisted the urge to burst into laughter.
It was a fresh reaction not seen in Perserk, who was not much different from me in terms of knowledge, or Illina, who had quite a bit of experience traveling around the world.
If this is a fresh reaction, the taste of the dug is very good.
“Kyaaak! Prince! Go moray eels are charred black!”
Elia, who had grilled fish for the first time, immediately burned and ate the moray eels she had worked hard to catch by misadjusting the intensity of the fire.
“Ah… that’s mine…”
Aria, who was hungry because the market was a side dish, showed a constant effort to adapt to eating outdoors.
That situation lasted a couple of times, so now I know how to pout at me for taking away her portion and eating it.
“Cuk-Cuk… What is that… COOK-COOK…”
After realizing that this was also a dream for a while, he played a simple prank on her who couldn’t hide her gloomy expression, and eventually burst into laughter again.
At first, Aria kept trying to hide some of her emotions even for the face she had to protect as a princess.
But after a day, when she realized that there were no restrictions that required her to stay strong.
She showed the appearance of finally throwing away the very thin layer that was covering her.
It will probably be something she will never see again in her lifetime.
One more day passed by.
Two moons floating quietly in the dark night sky and the dreary quiet sea.
Airia seemed to be quite happy because the temperature control magic was used to set the surrounding temperature just right.
Elia, who was crouching down with a blanket wrapped around her, looked up at the sky and said.
“It really feels like a dream. If it’s a dream, I never want to wake up.”
This was a world where no intelligent beings could be seen except me and her.
No, it would have to be beyond the veil, but at least it was like that here outside the veil.
Aria didn’t know that either.
However, even in such silence, she seemed happy to be alone with a simple person called me.
“Prince, do you see that star? That’s what Catherine said. That star wanders the sky making a tail every 10 years, and if you make a wish at that time, it will come true.”
“Are you going to make a wish?”
“yes.”
At my words, she smiled brightly with a flushed face.
“What do you wish for?”
“That’s it…”
At my words, she blushed and buried her face in her knees.
Then he rolled his body a little more and trembled.
“I can’t speak.”
“What is it? Does it have anything to do with me?”
“…”
Do you have?
“What is it?”
“…”
It’s an embarrassing wish to say.
“Now or when will you see the opportunity? tell me.”
Elia, who was embarrassed by my words and didn’t know what to do, carefully opened her mouth.
“…to do it.”
“yes?”
“No knee… I want to lend my knee to the prince.”
At those words, I was silent. Then he smiled and asked,
“Is that a wish?”
“yes? Ah… so.”
Seeing her gibberish, I slowly stretched one hand up to the sky.
Then, as I waved my hand lightly, the stars formed tails and began to circle the sky like an illusion.
It’s hard to turn a real celestial body.
It is not difficult to make it so that it can be deceived as much as possible from the point of view.
I spoke plainly to Aria, who had a surprised face.
“Since the stars have drawn their tails, your wish must come true.”
whether she is surprised or not
I kept a shameless face.
It was then.
It was very brief, but suddenly I could feel a strange gaze as if it were watching Aria and me.
Rather than the eyes of simple life, it felt like something else transcendent.
