Chapter 138
2-20 Louis Perspective
“What? Are you… really Louis?”
Ah.
“How can the aura and personality change so much in the last three months?”
Theodore opened his eyes with dismay to me with his head down.I slowly raised my face to Theodore, who murmured.
“Not three months. Three years.”
“What are you saying?”
Theodore smiled with her eyebrows up and her neck tilted.When I hold my fist firmly, I will never open my mouth.
“There has been a clear change in the world I know and in this world since three years ago.And in my real world, Rachel is… Rachel is alive. ”
“What?… I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
After the silence between them, I started telling Theodore what happened three years ago.Unlike when I talked to Cyril, I think it was the second time that I was able to have a calm conversation.
Even so, Theodore, who seemed skeptical at first, gradually focused on my story as he stepped forward and sometimes thought, “I see…”.
Especially when it comes to the covenant with the Spirit of Darkness and the protection from the Spirit King of Darkness, Theodore surprisingly sparkled slightly behind his eyes.
And when I told him that I wanted him to help me get back to the original world, Theodore slowly sighed with his hand on his forehead.
“I understand what Louis said.And why Louis suddenly changed. ”
“Why do two worlds exist… why am I in this world?I want you to tell me if you know anything. ”
“… ahh. I didn’t know about the Spirit of Darkness, but I might not know if I looked into it in detail.Of course, I can’t say for sure. ”
Theodore’s words, “I don’t know.””I raised my voice without thinking. But to me, who revealed joy, Theodore shook his neck silently.
“I don’t know anything yet. Including whether or not I will cooperate.”
“Ah, yeah, that’s right.”
Theodore lowered his eyebrows when he looked at me with his shoulders down.
“Just calm down a little bit. We still have a lot of questions to ask and things to think about.”
“Oh, I’m sorry I rushed you.”
Happy to point out Theodore.How narrow my vision was.
Indeed, as I was told, it is true that you are in a hurry.The desire to go to Rachel as soon as possible preceded me, and I realized that I lacked calm.
“I know how Louis feels.Sometimes I want to go back to my old world as soon as possible.But if you’ll help me… I have a few questions. ”
“Of course, I want you to ask me anything.”
“Rachel of the world lives happily ever after.”
Theodore murmured a little after thinking about it.But in a private room with only two people, it sounds like nothing.
“Ahh… I’m alive. Rachel is the only one who knows if she’s happy… but I hope so every day.But, yeah. I laugh a lot. ”
“Really?… I see. Is there such a future?”
When Theodore relaxes his shoulders, he lowers his eyes and laughs.
“Ah, I didn’t think so. I felt like I was expecting something, and I lost my strength.”
The behavior of Theodore, who tapped his index finger against the table to make him feel slightly irritated, as opposed to his cheeks, which were more pale than before, seemed to represent the complexity of his mind.
–It must be complicated. What would you think if you found out that something you couldn’t protect made you happy in a world you didn’t know?
Most of them will be relieved and rejoiced.Still, the feeling of loss does not disappear.The fact that I couldn’t protect myself won’t go away.
I wondered what Theodore was like for nature and Rachel.
“Thanks to you, too.When Rachel lost his magic, when he was in danger.I’m sorry, but you’ve helped me so many times. ”
“… me?”
“Ah. If it weren’t for you, I might not have even made a deal with the Spirit of Darkness.I may not have known the danger.So I really appreciate it. ”
“Ah, that’s me over there. I see you’ve kept your word…. haha, my emotions are so messed up, but I’m jealous of you. ”
Theodore put his elbow on the table and his head on the palm of his hand and glanced at the glass in front of me.A glass of water illuminated by a light above her head melted the big ice and made a noise.
I thought I might have something to think about on my own, and I left the room just saying, “I’ll get you some wine.”
I’ll go straight to the counter and ask the master for two glasses of wine.I didn’t immediately take it out to the room, and I poured only one glass of wine and slowly drank it.
I think it’s time to go back to the private room and open the door, Theodore opens his mouth with his eyes down.
“If that child I couldn’t protect had a future to live happily, at least it would have to be protected.”
I pretended not to hear a small murmur.As I arrived at my seat, Theodore raised his face.The face seemed to have already decided the answer.
–If we can’t get Theodore’s help here….
Correct your posture to dispel the slightest anxiety.But Theodore raised the edge of his mouth like he knew I was in that mood.
Fine, I’ll help you.
“Oh, really… Thank you, Theodore! I can’t thank you enough.”
“It’s unusual for me to ask you a favor.I’m glad you saw Louis. ”
The smiling expression of Theodore was a familiar one, and I felt that the walls that I had been feeling since we met today would disappear beautifully.
Well then, let’s move the place and listen to the details…. ahh, Cyril should be with you?If so, why don’t we go to the castle? ”
As I stroked my chest down, Theodore rose from his chair to the door.And looking back, he hurried me with a lookout jaw that wasn’t up yet.
“Of course… but before I do, may I ask you a question?”
“What is it?”
“Your relationship with Rachel. I wonder if he had given the Magic Division a long vacation to find out what was behind Rachel’s attack?”
Was it such a deep relationship…? That’s what I wanted to ask you, and I couldn’t find the words.
But Theodore understood what I was trying to say without saying, “Ah.”
“It’s a secret. Keep it moody at best.”
Theodore smiles happily, “It’s fun to tease Louis after all” and moves on in a mood.
Not convinced by the answer, I opened my mouth to protest, but exhaled at Theodore, who seemed too happy.Then he chased after Theodore early enough to follow him.
