I’m Not a Regressor Chapter 297

ㅌㅌI am not a returner Episode 297

Sky Mountains (3)

[Then the main woman will leave.]

After saying hello to Ojin, Vega returned to the sanctuary.

Returning to the familiar temple, she lightly stroked Riak’s head.

[You probably haven’t finished clearing your mind yet, so go in and rest.]

“Yes, Vega.”

Riak nodded and returned to his residence.

“….”

The lone temple left.

Is it because I was making a fuss with Oh Jin just a moment ago?

For some reason, an unknown loneliness filled my heart.

[…In the past, I didn’t mind being alone for years.]

I can’t believe I’m feeling this way just a few minutes after returning to the sanctuary.

Vega stared blankly at the temple wall with a self-deprecating smile.

How many hours have passed like that?

[He must be sleeping by now.]

Suddenly, I had the urge to look at Oh Jin’s face while he was sleeping.

Vega, who was looking around her head as if she was watching for no reason in the empty temple, soon cleared her throat and concentrated her mind.

Her body glowed silver and dispersed like fog.

What was seen in front of Vega, who appeared in a artificial body.

“I am fighting with Kalyque now.”

Oh Jin is concentrating with his eyes closed.

Vega, who naturally thought Ojin was sleeping, trembled.

Without realizing it, she flew behind a nearby tree and hid herself.

Fortunately, I didn’t notice that she had materialized, perhaps because I was concentrating with my eyes closed.

“Whoa.”

The sight of Ojin taking a deep breath, stamping his feet furiously and throwing a spear into the air.

As if he was fighting a real battle, he blocked an invisible attack and was hit and rolled on the floor.

If someone I didn’t know saw it, they would have laughed and asked what kind of live show I was putting on.

[My child….]

She knows.

The fact that Ojin is ‘really’ fighting right now.

[….]

Image training reached its limit.

No, can this really be dismissed lightly as ‘training’?

“Ugh! “Wow!”

As Ohjin groans in pain, the wounds on his body increase.

Although my clothes weren’t torn or blood was gushing out.

The injured area turned dark and the flesh appeared to be necrotic.

I feel pain and get hurt.

As the last line of defense, you just won’t die.

That was the essence of the training Ohjin repeated alone at night when everyone was asleep.

Every day.

Without taking a single day off.

[My body isn’t fully healed yet, so why…]

Vega clenched his fists with a nervous expression.

I wanted to run out and stop him right away.

I wanted to scold him and scold him, telling him that he should rest when he was resting.

But how can that be?

“haha! “Why are you doing this?”

Ojin talking to someone invisible.

He grabbed the spear and twisted the corner of his mouth fiercely.

“If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to protect anything.”

And clash.

Ohjin, who was engaged in a fierce battle with an imaginary enemy, fell to his knees clutching his chest.

“Wow! Wow! Uweeeeeek!”

Ojin is vomiting and struggling in pain.

Ojin, who had been lying on the floor and trembling like an epileptic patient, stood up shakily.

“Ai… you’re so strong. “The difference between whether there is a blessing or not is really big.”

After taking a bottle of potion from his sling bag and drinking it, Ojin continued meditating with his eyes closed, as if reliving the battle just before.

That too for a while.

“Okay, let’s fight while keeping the distance apart this time.”

Even though I was struggling in pain to the point of nausea.

He calmly created an imaginary enemy again, as if nothing had happened.

[….]

How many times do I have to repeat this to become that calm?

How accustomed do you have to be to become so calm?

What kind of time was he spending while she was spending meaningless time guarding the temple alone?

‘It’s my child.’

My heart throbbed as if a nail had been driven into it.

Vega, who was hiding behind a tree and looking at Ojin endlessly, canceled his appearance and returned to the sanctuary.

[…It was such a pain not to be able to do anything.]

I wanted to hand over at least part of my power to Ojin.

The role of the Constellation was to plant the seeds of stigmata in the awakened.

It is up to the awakened person to take root there and spread out the stem.

It was an area in which the Holy See itself could not or should not intervene.

[Sigh.]

Vega sighed deeply and walked out of the temple.

There wasn’t really anything to do.

I just wanted to sort out some of the emotions that had become clouded with thoughts about the misdiagnosis.

I walked slowly as if I was taking a walk along the road leading to the Milky Way.

Constellations were rarely seen wandering the streets.

Most constellations like to stay locked up in their temples and not move, but that doesn’t mean they don’t go out at all.

Constellations also have emotions, and beings with emotions are bound to find someone to share them with.

Among them, there was a constellation that preferred wandering around the sanctuary rather than being in the temple at all.

“Vega-nee?”

okay.

Like the constellation of Virgo, which discovers Vega from afar and runs like an excited cow.

“No, you’re coming out of the temple! “Is the sanctuary going to be swallowed up by the black sky tomorrow?!”

Spica, the goddess with the freshness of buds blooming in spring, made all kinds of fuss as if she couldn’t believe that Vega had come out of the temple.

[I just wanted to get some air.]

“Hey. “Your sister?”

He had never been seen at a large banquet or festival where many constellations gathered, and he suddenly came out wanting to get some fresh air.

Spica looked at Vega up and down as if suspicious.

As the constellation of Virgo, which represents purity and love, I intuitively noticed the pink emotions secretly flowing from Vega.

“Is it because of that kid?”

[…I don’t know what you’re talking about.]

“That’s right! “I’ve already heard a rumor that you’re traveling to the devil’s land with that kid these days!”

Spica claps her hands and bursts into laughter.

Vega’s expression immediately frowned.

[I don’t know where I heard that rumor, but I’m not having a carefree time that could be called a trip.]

“But we’re together, right?”

[That’s true, but.]

“Ah~ The noble star of Jiknyeo Castle has fallen into the hands of a single person like this~!”

Spica wipes away tears with exaggerated movements as if in a musical play.

Vega shouted with a red face.

[Now, don’t play around! How can a constellation be connected to its own child?!]

“Huh? Why not? “I have a cute darling, right?”

[What?]

I’ve heard people talk about people of destiny before.

I would have guessed that they were so close that they called each other by the sweet title ‘darling’.

“Besides me, there are many constellations that are connected to their apostles. “It increased even more after the restrictions of the law were weakened.”

[How can people called the Constellations touch their own children…!]

“It’s not a law that says you can’t touch humans, right? And didn’t you say that you had a special relationship with that child in your past life?”

[That’s it.]

Vega bit her lip and avoided Spica’s gaze.

[Perhaps… it was a misunderstanding on the part of the original woman.]

“A misunderstanding?”

Ojin and his past life had a special relationship that went beyond the relationship between an ordinary constellation and an awakened person.

It must be true because I heard it directly from Ojin’s mouth.

but.

[…Doesn’t a special relationship necessarily mean a relationship between lovers?]

What Oh Jin said was that the two had a ‘special relationship’.

He did not say exactly what the relationship was.

[And even if they were lovers, it was only a past life after all.]

Vega smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Spica’s eyes narrowed.

“Then how are you feeling now?”

[What do you mean?]

“Putting past life and everything else aside, what are your feelings about that child now?”

[That…]

Vega averted his gaze with complicated eyes.

[…I don’t know.]

“You don’t know?”

[When I think of that child, there are times when my heart is overwhelmed with pride, and there are times when I am so worried that my heart breaks as if a nail has been driven into it. I want to protect and protect her, but sometimes I also want to rely on her.]

Her life continued from the distant past.

To the point where I can no longer even remember how long ago I existed.

However, for most of that long time, he stayed alone in the temple and silently performed his duties as a ‘constellation’.

A life like a machine.

At that time, her life was full of colorless colors, like a black and white movie.

and.

I met that child.

Like a windless lake, a ripple of misdiagnosis arose in an inorganic life.

The ripples that were just a breeze gradually became a huge typhoon, swirling in her heart.

[What kind of existence that child is to her… she doesn’t even know.]

It’s an extremely unfamiliar feeling.

In terms of emotions, she was like a child who had just started walking, and had no idea where her heart was headed.

“Wow…”

A short exclamation came from Spica’s mouth.

[Why are you doing that?]

“Oh, yes. never mind. “Even if it’s me, this is a bit embarrassing.”

Spica shook her head as if she couldn’t bear to listen any further.

I never thought Vega would be this sincere.

It was a confession of love so shameful that it made the listener even more distressed.

“Well anyway! Now that things have become like this, I can’t just sit still as the goddess of purity and love!”

Spica approached Vega with her eyes sparkling like stars.

[What are you planning to do?]

“It’s not me, but you who have to do it!”

Her role is only to give advice.

“Let’s think together about how to confess!”

[What a confession! What are you talking about!]

Vega shakes his head with a red face.

Spica pounded her chest in frustration.

“No, if you want to do anything, you have to confess first! Or, I can secretly attack you while you are sleeping and make it a fait accompli!”

It was too radical a way of thinking to be considered a goddess of purity.

[Oh, Oh-jin is just a precious child to me.]

“Heng. Are you coming now? “You said you didn’t know?”

[And…]

Vega lowers her head with a downcast expression.

[That child… already has a lover named Ha-eun.]

“Huh?”

Spica, who had never thought that Vega would have a man in her heart, opened her eyes wide.

“Hey. what? “Could it be that you were targeting a man who owns it?”

[You’re aiming for me! Didn’t you say that’s not the case?]

“This is interesting.”

Spica raises the corner of her mouth with a grin.

“It’s okay, don’t worry, sister! Just because you have a goalkeeper doesn’t mean you can’t score a goal! “I don’t know who Ha-eun is, but in front of her, she’s no better than the starlight next to the full moon, right?”

Vega is someone.

Isn’t the North Star constellation one of the three among hundreds of constellations?

There was no constellation that could compare to her in both ability and appearance.

[…and.]

“Huh? What else?”

[It seems like he recently found a lover named Isabella.]

“…What?”

Two goalkeepers?
