The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 146: Trials (4)

Rubia slowly approached me and hugged me with natural gestures.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“...Uh, ahh... huff...”

“It was hard... all by myself.”

“Ugh... huff... kk- kkup...”

“Now that I’m here... you can rest a little.”

Her soft body embraces me.

Her gentle hands caress me.

Her body scent makes my heart feel at ease.

Her voice clears my mind.

Her silvery hair flows brilliantly.

Her blue eyes that reflect everything.

Everything about her that I only imagined in my head comforts me.

The smell of death disappears.

The flying ashes scatter.

The world that was soaked in screams is covered in blue snowflakes.

The red scenery is enveloped in the dawn.

In that quiet world, I. In her arms, I poured out all my sorrows.

Tears that I thought would never come anymore poured out, and my weak voice became a heartbreaking scream mixed with all kinds of emotions.

I poured out everything I had experienced, things I didn't want to say, things I wanted Rubia to never know.

I cried endlessly, over and over, over and over.

When the crying gradually stopped,

Rubia's damp embrace slowly moved away.

"If I hadn't been here, it would have been a big deal."

"Sob... ugh... ugh, sob..."

I pulled her into my arms again and tried to bury my face in hers.

Then I stopped.

"...Sob, uh, but... Rubia, uh- here, here, how did you... get in...?"

I definitely came in after destroying the temple.

No, this is my world of trials to begin with. Moreover, it’s my first time experiencing such a sudden change in scenery in less than a day.

“Are you curious?”

“Hmph... Yes...”

Rubia’s forehead touched mine.

Her tear-stained face was reflected in her blue eyes.

“If you’re curious, answer me first.”

“Hmph- Hmph... What, what is it...?”

Rubia smiled faintly, then moved her face away and adjusted her expression.

And then she asked really seriously.

“How is my face?”

“Whoa...?”

“I know it’s weird to say this, but... Noah saw my face for the first time. He’s a little... very, very... curious.”

The tips of his ears, hidden by his hair, turned slightly red, and a faint blush appeared on his pure white cheeks.

“Compared to the image Noah had in mind, how is it?”

Glancing blue eyes.

Inside the endlessly sharp eyes, a gentle gaze.

Silver-white hair flowing down every time she let out a trembling breath.

And pink lips tightly shut.

That appearance.

Really, really.

“You’re so pretty... so much.”

More than the face I’ve seen in games.

More than what I’ve felt when I’ve touched it.

Much more than what I’ve imagined and drawn.

“...You’re pretty.”

“Hehehe...”

Her face brightened.

Her sharp eyes curved ever so gently, and her tightly shut lips also opened slightly, drawing a curve.

Her blush grew even deeper.

As if she didn’t need to hide her shame anymore, her ears, which had completely revealed themselves, were dyed bright red.

It’s beautiful.

That this person loves me.

That I love this person.

The fact that our hearts were the same felt like such a miracle, so I, again.

“Huh... huh... huh, Rubia...”

I buried my face in her arms and cried for a long time.

When my deep, heartfelt tears soaked Rubia’s collar, Rubia gently pushed me away and wrapped her hand around my hand.

“First, should we go somewhere else and finish talking?”

“Huh, huh... huh, uh... where?”

“Um... let’s walk first. Think about it while you walk.”

Rubia got up and took my hand.

She supported my staggering body and gently adjusted my short legs’ strides.

“The buildings are unusual.”

“...Right.”

“What’s that tall building over there? The Tower?”

Rubia tilted her head, pointing to the apartment building in the distance.

“Phew... It’s not a tower... Um, it’s a really tall house. A lot of people live in one building... It’s a really tall and expensive house.”

“Wow... That’s a house. Then what about the red cross standing next to it? It really looks like a tower.”

“Um, that’s a church... Um, if I had to compare it, it’s similar to a religious sect-”

Stop- Rubia’s body stopped.

“...That thing?”

Then she growled with a fierce aura.

“Ugh, no... That, that’s not a place like that...”

I gently caressed Rubia’s clenched fist, and desperately appealed to her that it was definitely not a bad place like Erden, starting with the concept of religion that exists on Earth.

“Oh... Is that so? I...”

Only then did Rubia’s expression soften, smile gently again, and continue walking.

Surprise...

Agak-agak-

Jabak-Jabak-

And after that, I kept walking and walking.

When I left the neighborhood I lived in and came out onto a slightly wider street, Rubia looked at me again with eyes full of curiosity.

“But are the clothes Noah is wearing now clothes that he usually wears in Noah’s world?”

“Uh, uh...?”

After hearing Rubia’s words, I quickly checked my clothes.

Cozy, fluffy, and thick.

Pure white pajamas.

“This, this... uh, that... is what I wear when I sleep...”

“Aha... clothes I wear at night. They look really warm and cute.”

Rubia laughed and continued talking, picking at one of the many white things on my pajamas.

“Is this black thing my nose?”

“Yes. It’s my nose.”

“Oh my, so cute... I think she’s a little cuter than Noah?”

“...Oh, no.”

I buried my head in Rubia’s arm.

Then Rubia, who was gently stroking my head that was touching her arm, opened her mouth cautiously, startled.

“Oh, but... Then... Do you wear different underwear here?”

“Uh...”

“The culture is different, so of course it’s different?”

“That...”

“Show me.”

“Ugh... Ah, no.”

Rubia’s steps stopped.

“Why?”

“Why, why...!”

“I can show Noah my underwear right now.”

And then she started lifting up her top.

“Ugh! Hey, stop! Ha, don’t!”

“No one’s here. It’s okay.”

“Still...!”

“Then, show me.”

Rubia’s discontented gaze was fixed on me.

“Ugh... I can’t show you.”

“If you’re not wearing anything, you can show me. Just a little bit. I can be satisfied with just a little bit.”

I turned my head.

This shouldn’t be happening.

This is really a big mistake...

“Then, just a little bit... I’ll show you. Just °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° a little bit...”

Gulp- I turned my back on Rubia, who was swallowing her saliva, and gently stretched the elastic band that was tightening her waist.

Then.

“Huh... A bear... A teddy bear? A huge teddy bear...”

Rubia’s earnest voice was heard along with a perverted breathing sound.

“Ugh... Don’t, don’t say anything...”

“Oh my...”

“What the hell! Hurry up and walk...”

I yelled at Rubia and forcibly grabbed her hand.

When I was in the other world, I could just pull it along if I tried. Maybe it’s because it’s Earth, but I can’t do anything about it.

A strange phenomenon occurred where my body, which I had been pulling, was instead being pulled toward Rubia...

“Ugh...”

“That kind of taste?”

“Oh, no!”

I had no choice but to wear it.

Well... I don’t know why, but there’s nothing else like this in my closet.

Blue polka dots, or cute pink ribbons... I have a lot of those things...

“I think I can make those things over there.”

“Ugh! I don’t need that...!”

I slapped Rubia’s arm.

Rubia laughed and started walking, patting my head.

The emotions that had been soaked in despair calmed down.

The world where time had stopped was quiet.

There were no people.

No cars, nothing.

A strange landscape where only buildings were lined up.

In this wide street, only me and Rubia exist.

In that quiet world, I slowly asked what I had been curious about.

“...Isn’t it strange?”

“What is it?”

“...Me.”

“Noah? Why? The bear panties are just cute.”

“Oh my... That’s not it! That... I’m someone who used to live in this world. It’s completely different from that one...”

I trailed off and glanced up at Rubia.

She nodded with a steady smile, as if nothing was strange at all.

“It’s not strange at all.”

“...Why?”

“Because it’s not important.”

Rubia’s blue eyes.

Her eyes that seemed to see through everything fell on me.

“Noah is Noah. I love Noah like that. That’s enough. Nothing else matters.”

“...um. um...”

For some reason, I grabbed my body that was trembling and held my trembling breath.

“I see... um, um.”

And then I moved my legs a little faster.

I wanted to hide this feeling.

And yet, sneakily, sneakily.

I looked up at Rubia’s face.

I cautiously stole a glance at Rubia’s body.

Continuously, continuously.

While I could see.

I couldn’t possibly get tired of it, but until I did.

Until it was vividly etched in my mind.

So much so that I could never forget it no matter what happened.

I deeply engraved everything about her.

In my eyes, in my head, in my entire body.

And then, as a habit, I closed my eyes.

I opened my mouth.

“How much time has passed since I started the ordeal?”

Crack- crack-

“Six months.”

“I see... How is it outside?”

“That monstrous Master is dead.”

Crack- Crack-

Rubia’s footsteps begin to lag behind.

“Everyone must be waiting for me...”

“Yes. Sirin-sama came back safely. She looked quite tired, but... she’s fine. Hehehe.”

Crack-

Again-

“Rubia... is it okay?”

Again-

Rubia’s footsteps stopped.

She opened her closed eyes and turned around.

There, smiling brightly, was ‘Rubia’.

“Wow... how did you know?”

How... how.

Well.

I’m not sure how I knew.

One thing is for sure.

“Because I love Rubia.”

That’s how I know.

You.

You’re not the Rubia I know.

You.

Like the ‘me’ that came to mind in my memories.

You’re the ‘Rubia’ from the future.
