{… Even if you try to resist clumsily, you can’t change the outcome.}Eren, who escaped through the entrance and used the key to quickly dismantle the sealing restraint that was binding Ircus, bit his lips at that voice.‘They already recovered!.’He thought that a distraction could buy them a minute to escape but far from it, they recovered from the surprise in a matter of seconds, that was to be expected of James Roental.Seeing the blinding light across the path they were running from, Eren felt rays of hope.However, his face became stiff the moment he saw the spiral stairs twisted like a snake outside the entrance.“It is a structure that makes it impossible to jump. Even if you just run and go alone, it takes a minute.”Said Ircus, clenching his free hands.They thought it might be underground looking from the high ceiling, but they didn’t know that the entrance was made of stairs.‘What era is this? There’s not even a lift…’If it was an elevator, there would have been a lot of
Sirius Black had missed Eren's movement while focusing on Ircus. He just found that Eren stood at the end of the entrance of Ircus’s room, which had collapsed.Naturally, Sirius’s face hardened.“What are you trying to do?”“Can’t you see it? I’m risking my life.”With those words, Eren stared at Ircus as if it could pierce him.‘How can I…’Ircus’s mind after reading his thoughts became complicated, he froze for a moment.“This is an order, Ircus. Forget about me from now on. Your only purpose is to rescue Scarlet.”At the somehow coercive words, Ircus nodded as if he was possessed by something.To point it out, that would have been dignity.It’s not the physical power or any superpower, but the essential presence of a person.From his voice and expression, Ircus gained sure conviction and ran toward Sirius Black without hesitation.At the same time, Eren fell back toward the darkness which seem like the mouth of a terrifying monster, into the bottom of the abyss.Sirius Black had his
The moment witnessed Eren and Ircus break down the stairs and escape, Sirius slightly pressed the surprised Eren's shoulder and ran outside without delay.Left alone to ponder for a short time, he no longer looked at the monitor, and headed out in a wheelchair.But it was not urgent to follow Sirius Black.Sirius even pressed James's shoulder and stopped him because he had such concerns.He didn't mean to behave on his own, ignoring that gratefulness."I will take you, sir.""It's all right."As he left the room, an aide left by Sirius tried to follow behind, but James refused him and led the wheel out of the building.It was a rather chilly and windy December night.James, who came out of the building alone, did not want to be disturbed by anyone.He concentrated through Flowing Wind, he could see Eren's movements from quite a distance and listen to his voice in detail.The wind told James's story much clearer than when he was underground."Ha…"In the dire situation, Eren used Wind
James Rozental wanted to stop and clear up the situation.Judging from the choices already shown by Ircus and Scarlet, along with Eren's actions, his test has long gone beyond the passing level.In addition to the originally planned reward, it is still not enough to even give a gift of apology.Of course, he didn't think that Eren would forgive him for what he did even if it was a test.He shook people's hearts like this and made them desperate.It would have been a good thing if Eren didn't pour out his anger.Thinking so, James began to lead the wheelchair with his quick hands.For some reason, the appearance of Eren pushing a stone knife into his own neck made him feel somewhat uneasy.'He must not really want to die. However… What if things happen?'James Rozental's always closed eyes suddenly opened wide.In the pure white pupils where no black spots are left, the scenery that only he can see is reflected.A lake of red blood covers the view and Eren who fell beside it in vain.S
'How should I do this?'Sirius Black's worries deepened.With a small test, he realized that Erens's Eyesight skill is as powerful as he said.On the other hand, however. The fact that Eren Rozental had no intention of dying now became a certainty in Sirius's head.'There's no way someone so thorough like this would take his own life so easily.'Now he seemed to know a little bit about Eren's style.It's cool-headed, calculating, and never suffers loss.Sirius has experienced several people like this.It was a rather common Rozental family.If there were some differences between them and Eren, it would be the innate bloodline and the inherent charisma, namely dignity.'Even though he is not a Rozental by birth, he sure lives up to the name.'But he can't help but be prepared for one thing.As if he had concluded after contemplating, Sirius loosened his stance which was ready to run away at any time.Then he puts his hand into his inner pocket.Eren wriggled his eyebrows when he saw Si
Watching James screaming angrily, Eren didn't know what to do.'Why are you angry?'In fact, he wanted to ask that first.He didn't really mean to die, but it was James who pushed him so desperately that he decided to pretend to be like that.However, it was not easy to do so when he saw James Rozental's tears flowing under his closed eyes and his sincere expression.'What the hell is it?'Rather, confusion came.Are the owner of the voice that was tormenting him in the room of sacrifice and James in front of him really the same person?Actually, when thinking of the character in the person that Hestia described as James Rozental, this one was more right.James Rozental had a righteous, good, and upright character.He was like a pretty flower that was forcibly cut by someone's hand even before he fully bloomed. But he was a person whose heart was not twisted even though he was buried in ashes.'Rather, the one in the room of sacrifice was weirder.'Therefore, it was quite shocking tha
In the room where everyone left only two people remained in silence. The brothers-in-law's, who sat facing each other, remained silent for a long time. It was James who decided to broke the long silence first. "… You can forget what Captain Black said. Most of what he said was just made up for me." "Well, he didn't say much though." "It's true that the Room of Sacrifice was built by me. And it's my choice to lock you up in that room." Eren who already guessed that Sirius's words were lies from his heart, nodded insignificantly. "So what?" "If you want to resent someone, you can resent me. If you really hate me enough to kill, I'm ready to accept even that." "You told me not to die like that, but I guess your own death is so light." Eren retorted. "…" James's face hardened at Eren's words. "I don't resent you very much. But that doesn't mean I don't hate you. Honestly, I thought it would be okay, but I get angry when I see your face." "…" A slight sadness passed on the f
"The treasure is not far away. It's right here." James stretched out and extended his hand to Eren. Eren initially had a rather skeptical face, but soon became surprised and looked at James. "This… Is this real?" The asking voice was unconsciously filled with trembling. Awakener's equipment in this world is broadly classified into three categories. The first is Made in Earth items that are generally the cheapest and easiest to obtain. Of course, even this varies in price depending on performance and in the case of handmade products made by the craftsmen of equipment production type of Awakeners, the price soars to an enormous level. The equipment currently worn by Eren belonged to this category. The second is the treasures of another world that are purchased from Dimensional Merchants that appear when the awakeners reach a certain stage of growth. Although there are also many items whose roots or origins are unknown, their ability often exceeds those of Made in Earth items.
