The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 85: I love you.

In the end, I left the dessert.

Rubia stopped eating her fork in the middle, so I couldn't help it.

I tried to finish it all, but it was impossible.

I still talked a lot.

I knew I wouldn't hear the important things anyway.

I just... talked about trivial things.

But it was still fun.

"Ugh, but it's a shame to throw all of this away..."

"You can just take it all home."

"But it feels different when you eat it while sitting down and when you eat it later."

"What is that?"

Rubia laughed and got up with the tray of desserts.

"I'll take one."

"Would you like that?"

This time, she didn't refuse and handed me the tray.

I nodded happily and took the tray.

"Where are we going now?"

"The park. Let's go to the park and chat."

"Chat? Just now-”

“Noah just said that.”

“Oh... That’s right.”

Just like Rubia said, I was the only one talking about it just now.

I guess it’s because I brought up a somewhat heavy topic... But it was something I absolutely had to talk about.

I didn’t want to talk about something heavy right before I left.

“I have a lot to say, so look forward to it.”

“Uh, yeah... Okay.”

Rubia smiled and put the tray down on the counter.

I also put the tray down in a daze.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Rubia immediately turned around and headed outside.

I checked the clock hanging behind the counter and followed Rubia.

It was already 10 o’clock.

Time flies.

“Rubia, is the park far?”

“Um... I have to walk a bit, but it’s not far. About 15 minutes?”

“That’s right.”

Clang-

When the door opened, a different scene unfolded.

The city lights were brightly lit, and there was not a single person left on the street doing repairs.

“It’s quiet. Everyone must be tired.”

“That’s right. After all, there was a lot going on.”

“A lot going on... That’s right. Everyone must have had a hard time.”

Still.

There was something like that.

They must have been so obsessed with the fact that they survived that they would drink and run around, right?

It’s so...so quiet that it’s a little... annoying.

“Still, isn’t it nice that it’s quiet?”

Rubia also hates me.

“It’s like we’re the only two people in the world.”

Rubia, who was walking ahead, turned around and smiled.

“...Really?”

The voice of the ‘Rubia’ I knew overlapped.

That face.

That situation overlapped.

At the end of a world dyed all ashen.

Because it was exactly like what you said in my arms.

Because it was exactly like that expression.

Because the fact that we were going to break up was exactly the same as back then.

I hated Rubia.

So, I rolled up the snow that was lying on the ground.

“Whack!”

I threw it at Rubia.

I didn’t put a rock in it.

“...Oh my?”

Rubia turned her back.

Snowflakes fell down her hair, whiter than snow.

Her expression was...

“T-Rubia... You shouldn’t put rocks in your eyes...?”

She looked like she was going to hit me in the head with a rock right now.

“Noah started it first...”

“Oh, I told you I didn’t put rocks in it?”

“I... I had a snowball fight back in my day?”

“Uh, don’t use your divine powers.”

“My younger brother from before... cried for two days after having a snowball fight with me.”

“Hehe... I’d rather put a rock in. Th, that divine power would be useless if used in a snowball fight...”

First, I sat down and ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) tightly closed my eyes.

I also put in some magic power.

But... that thing melts the snow with divine power and turns it into ice.

If my head caves in, it’ll heal itself, right?

Ha, shit.

I should’ve brought a greatsword.

If I just used my energy properly, I could’ve avoided everything.

But... But today, I’ll be normal.

I wanted to play like a normal person in a peaceful world... There’s nothing I can do.

“Noah. I’ll heal you even if you get hurt, so don’t worry too much.”

“Rubia didn’t see it, but... I won a snowball fight with Tyrant.”

“Yeah. Let’s give it a try.”

Rubia got up from her seat and smiled, and at the same time, a total of 18 snow piles flew in.

Ah, 18.

*****

“Ah, it still hurts...”

“How are you, am I doing well?”

“I hate to admit it, but... I was a little stronger than Tyrant.”

“Hehe, Noah was pretty strong too.”

I sat on the bench, sipped the warm coffee Rubia bought me, and looked up at the sky.

The city lights were so bright that I couldn’t see clearly, but I could see a little bit.

“It’s peaceful.”

“Yeah. Very much.”

“You worked hard today.”

“Rubia... worked hard too.”

Now, there were about 30 minutes left.

“I have a lot to ask you.”

“I see.”

“There really are a lot. But... you’re going to say you can’t answer anyway, right?”

“Most people are like that, right?”

A small sigh is heard.

“Then... I’ll ask you things that Noah can answer.”

Rubia swallowed the sigh she let out and turned her head.

I also turned my head and met his gaze.

I didn’t want to avoid him anymore.

“Noah.”

I nodded and took a sip of my coffee.

“Am I pretty?”

“Phew-!”

And then I immediately let it out.

Fortunately, Rubia used her divine powers and the coffee didn’t splash out.

What the heck... What the heck are you asking...?

“What, what did you say?”

“You can see Noah right now.”

“Right...?”

“That’s why I’m asking. How do you think I look to Noah?”

“Yes, I’m pretty.”

I dropped my gaze.

Rubia’s lips formed a curve.

“Where are you going?”

“Huh...”

I knew this would happen. The Rubia I knew... asked the same thing.

So at that time... what did I say?

“Your sharp eyes that become gentle only when you see me are pretty.”

“Huh...?”

“Your nose that twitches when you smell me is cute.”

“Uh...”

“Your lips that smile so thinly when you call my name are pretty.”

Rubia’s head turns.

“And... I like things that are the complete opposite of me. The white hair, the blue eyes, the confident personality, I like everything about it.”

Rubia’s breath trembles.

My breath trembles along with it.

The emotions I’ve suppressed overflow.

The mask I’ve made so thick cracks.

The person Rubia is looking at isn’t me.

The person I’m looking at isn’t Rubia either.

“Noah is... Noah.”

“Huh?”

“Noah said something like that before. You didn’t see it, but he felt around with his hand and said that.”

“... Really? Such a cringey thing?”

“Yes. You know it’s cringey, don’t you?”

“I know...”

I know, even if it’s such a cringey thing.

I know I’ll regret it later if I don’t say it now.

I just blurt it out.

“Anyway, you’re pretty in Noah’s eyes, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Hehehe... That’s fortunate.”

Rubia took off her robe and let her hair down.

And then... she suddenly blurted out something out of the blue.

“If you follow the flowing water, you’ll always meet at the same point.”

“Hmm... Is that because they all flowed from the sea?”

“Yes. They all start from the same place and flow to the same place.”

“I see.”

“So... even if we break up, we can meet again someday.”

Rubia got up from her seat and stretched.

“Noah.”

“Huh?”

“Noah said that when he wanted to celebrate something, he would set off firecrackers, right?”

“Yeah, right?”

“Still... is that so?”

“Why all of a sudden-”

All the lights that had been illuminating the city went out.

“Huh?”

All the sounds disappeared.

And.

A brilliant divine power shot out from Rubia’s body standing before my eyes toward the sky.

Following the divine power that shot out.

Pub-bung-!

Countless firecrackers.

colored the sky.

The colorful fireworks began to brightly and beautifully illuminate the world.

Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

“Ru, Bia...?”

“How long have I been running around doing this?”

Even now, through the countless fireworks exploding, I could see Rubia’s expression.

Smiling.

More than fireworks.

More brightly than divine power.

“What the heck is this...?”

“A gift. A gift to the hero who saved us.”

A hero.

Also, a hero.

I am not a hero.

I shouldn’t be called that.

I don’t want to be called that.

I am a sinner.

Killing people.

Taking their souls, killing others.

Saying that was the way to save everything.

A hypocrite who deceived himself and the world.

“I don’t know what kind of life Noah lived.”

Behind the fireworks, a flame reminiscent of the sun rose.

“I don’t know what he went through.”

Next to them, flower petals that had nothing to do with the season began to scatter.

“But Noah was here.”

Rubia’s hand reaches for my head.

“I stood here and saved this city.”

She pushed back her hat.

“No matter what others say, no matter what anyone says.”

Black hair.

Hair that was rejected as a demon.

Red eyes.

Revealed to the world.

“Noah is our hero.”

The flames that decorate the sky illuminate the sinner.

“You are both my heroes.”

A blindingly beautiful light pours down toward me.

The light is so dazzling.

I thought I shouldn’t look at it.

I closed my eyes.

“I...”

There wasn’t much divine power left in my body.

My consciousness flickers.

There are too many things I want to say.

There are too many things I have to say.

“...Rubia.”

But.

But... Let’s throw that all away.

What I really wanted to say.

Even if it wasn't the Rubia I knew.

I should have said to her.

I should have said the words I couldn't.

"I'm sorry."

I'm sorry for telling you to hate me.

I'm sorry for telling you to forget everything.

I'm sorry for saying you regret it.

"And."

The nights we spent together, embracing each other.

The words that whispered about the future.

The days we spent together, laughing.

.

“I love you.”

I was happy.

I was precious.

I loved you.

“...yes.”

Warmth envelops me.

A longing scent.

A lovely touch.

It embraces everything about me.

I opened my eyes and looked into those blue eyes.

Inside them.

“I’ll go.”

There was me smiling happily.

“Have a nice day.”

There was you smiling happily.

*****

Someday in the distant future.

When we meet again.

Then.

In a peaceful world.

With many people.

Dreaming of an ordinary tomorrow.

I hope we can live.

Please.

I hope we can be happy.
