Being pulled away before he could make a decision was rather annoying.
"Stop!" Eriu immediately pulled back his hand, releasing it from Eros' grasp.
"I didn't even say I would come back." Eros immediately turned around, without changing his flat face, and looked at his now empty hand.
Eros immediately pulled Eriu with all his might. The grip on Eros' hand tightened. Without caring about Eriu's rejection, Eros walked straight ahead without listening to a single word Eriu said.
Annoyed by Eros' arbitrary behavior, Eriu, whose anger had reached its limit, would surely rebel. Eros immediately smiled, showing the normal smile always plastered on his face. However, unlike his sweet smile, his eyes looked at him sharply.
"Eri, do you think I don't know you want to go to the cave?"
"So what?"
"And if you want to go back home, go back alone. Don't drag me with you." Unlike Eros, Eriu immediately showed anger in his face. Eros walked over to Eriu and pointed to the place where Eriu was injured in the past, "Who do you think healed you?"
"Stop thinking outside the box! That secret place you're talking about was dangerous to begin with!"
"Don't think you can do that in front of me!"
Eriu, who did not accept being hit by attack after attack, returned the favor even though he was afraid of Eros who immediately showed his anger like this, "Thank you for saving me."
"And even though this place is dangerous, it's none of your business if I wander here and there!!!"
"..."
"You said it." In the blink of an eye, lightning struck next to Eriu, who instantly stiffened, not daring to look at where the lightning had struck.
Eros crossed his arms and made an annoyed face where his cheeks always puffed out when he was angry, "Why, are you scared now? Speak again."
As Louise said, they were like fire and smoke, so there must be wood to make the chemical content and substance even more terrifying.
One day, Louise accidentally found the two of them having a big fight, and Eriu even locked the door of his room to prevent Eros from coming in.
Eros even cried after Eriu left him alone in the garden. Louise, who heard this fight, approached Eros, who was still sobbing and helped him try to make up with Eriu.
But Eros refused, saying confidently that Eriu would soon find him and they would play together again.
True to Eros' word, the next day Eriu was in his room calling Eros' name and they made up again.
However, Eriu was acting more and more strangely, like suddenly cooking pudding, or when he saw someone cast an electric spell, Eriu immediately shivered and hugged himself.
Eriu was speechless, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Now, Eriu's brain was thinking about the deaths of the NPCs who hadn't even tried to save themselves.
Meanwhile, Eriu's heart rejected the idea of obeying the boy in front of him, who was now like a level 100 boss.
To hell with your repetitive life, if I can't control something that makes me uncomfortable, I won't stop!
Eriu gritted his teeth and said everything in one sentence without sounding nervous, "Do it again, threatening me with lightning won't change anything!" Of course, Eros didn't look like he would give in as usual.
Without looking suspicious, Eros touched his right hand, which now showed a tattoo of a heart with 1.2 written on it.
(Ramiel, do something!!!) Ramiel, who was munching on her chips during the game, immediately had a heart attack at the sight of the bold pink message.
With a very quick movement, Ramiel hit pause and immediately clicked on the notification. Without asking what Eros meant by "do something.
(Do you need help?)
(Because you stopped me and all your 'clever' ideas, I'm in trouble now!)
(Eri became suspicious of me, even though you created this whole problem!)
(...)
(Sorry...)
(Hurry up, do something with that human, and make him come out and solve all his problems!)
(But...)
(But? You still say "but" when you borrowed all my stuff, borrowed my power, and now you're asking me to take care of your follower?)
(Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible...)
Eros immediately turned off the message screen and looked directly into Eriu's eyes, as if he had already decided, "I won't make that green tea you like anymore, I'll donate it all to the God of Hope!"
"Eh..."
"All the food Auntie and Uncle gave me will also be given to him as an offering."
"Wait, wait!"
"All the trouble that's going on right now, I won't tell if you still insist!" Eros immediately looked confident, although his face still looked annoyed, but there was a hint of victory in it. He was confident that this person would give up immediately.
"..."
"You should have told me if you were going to tell me..." Eriu looked away, his voice getting smaller and smaller, "And... you're not going to give it to the god of hope, are you?"
"Um..." Eriu immediately struck a pleading pose in front of Eros, whose face was now full of a triumphant smile, "Forgive me!"
"From now on, I will not disobey any of your orders!"
See, I know your weakness!
Eros walked over and took both of Eriu's hands, clasping them, "I forgive you."
"And look at this mean way of speaking, you're hurting my feelings."
Eriu raised his face to see Eros smiling happily again. Eros immediately held Eriu's hand as he walked slowly towards the exit of the forest.
Perhaps because the two of them had fought and reconciled strangely, they both fell silent without saying anything. It was a silent walk before Eros finally decided to start a conversation.
"There is a family that is said to be harmonious."
Eriu, who ducked down, immediately looked at Eros who was now in front of him and showed the small of Eros' back. As if he was talking about a normal story, Eros continued to recite someone's tragic story like a fairy tale, "But a harmonious family is just someone's words, you never know the inside of a harmonious family."
"After giving birth to the first child, the mother gave birth to the second child. Unlike the older brother, the younger sister had a disease in which the younger sister had problems with interaction and communication, you could say the younger sister was autistic. The father often blamed the mother for giving birth to such a deformed child, while the mother could only accept her husband's ravings. It got to the point where the mother couldn't take it anymore and took it out on her youngest daughter."
"Unlike the younger sister, her brother was able to leave home. The brother was hired to work and had to follow his master to another country. However, he promised her that he would come back five times a year."
"One day, her mother took her favorite doll, she did not accept it, and feeling threatened, she took a fork from the kitchen and started attacking her mother."
Eros paused as if trying to remember something and let Eriu digest what Eros meant by telling the story, "Adults are still stronger than 10-year-olds, the little girl was finally beaten back by her mother. The mother, irritated, stabbed the child's hand with the fork she had brought as punishment."
"The father, who returned to see his daughter dying, scolded the mother and they secretly went to see a doctor, as they didn't want the neighbors to find out about the incident."
"2 years had passed after her brother never returned. His own family even thought he had forgotten them."
Eros' voice was completely calm as if he didn't care about someone's tragic story, Eriu was even confused to ask if Eros was making up stories, "...who is the person you are talking about?"
The two slowly heard the voices of many people, their voices echoing through the forest.
"The cause of all this chaos."
Seeing the existence of the two little children coming out of the forest, the villagers who were still waiting to be informed of the situation approached the two and immediately asked Eros, forgetting about Eriu who was next to him.
"Eros, how are things over there?"
Eros explained the incident, but strangely enough, Eros was surrounded by more and more people until he created a large distance from Eriu, who was still standing at the original place.
Returning to the original location out of concern for her family, Ariadne soon found Eriu standing alone and noticed Eros surrounded by several people. Ariadne immediately understood Eros' situation. A famous doctor in the village was treating him.
"Where is Dad?"
"He's still there."
Eriu immediately explained the situation. Hearing this, Ariadne nodded as if her decision was correct, in her hand she carried a large basket filled with sandwiches and bottles of milk, she immediately took two sandwiches and milk, "Eat this, I know you must be hungry, and give the other to Eros."
"Okay."
"I intend to follow your dad, it would be bad if we involved the villagers to help us and give them nothing."
Ariadne immediately pointed to the mobbed Eros.
"When Madame Quella has finished healing Eros, take him home, and don't forget to take a bath before you go to your room."
Eriu, hearing that Eros was being healed, immediately looked up to the sky. The pure blue color that rose everywhere colored the world with its color. There was not a single dark cloud that had covered the sky. After that, Ariadne went into the forest after telling Eriu several things, such as locking the door, eating in the kitchen if you're hungry, and not opening the door if it's not her or Louise.
Maybe it's because I can't sense mana. Eriu thought as he unwrapped the sandwich wrapped in paper. He ate the sandwich without thinking about anything.
Second life...
I had a second life too.
Because the moment I could wake up in the hospital without smelling blood, I thought it was heaven.
A second life with a normal life...
Eating, drinking, sleeping and playing.
That was my second life.
