Elicia's Grim Reaper

"Saga?"

Garen, who was waiting for an answer with a dark face, found that his elder brother's hand was suddenly clenched, and his ugly face became even uglier. Garen, who never liked patience, directly pulled up Saga who was lying on the bed pretending to be an ostrich. , grabbed his collar and asked, "Saga, tell me, what happened in the Pope's Hall? Why do you have nightmares every day? Why do you suddenly become like this today? Is it..."

"No! Lord Shion is fine!" Saga, who understood what Garen was referring to, immediately retorted, then lowered his head as if remembering something, and lowered his voice, "He's fine..."

The problem is me.

I did something wrong.

it's me……

Thinking like this, Saga suddenly smiled wryly, what rebirth, what to do again, what to make up for... In the end, I was still hurting the people around me. It was them before, but now it is basically...

I don't, at all...

"Saga, what are you thinking?"

After Saga's strange illness, Garen felt that he couldn't understand his twin brother more and more, and he couldn't even communicate with each other telepathically.

He is completely ignorant of Saga's occasional blank self-blame and pain.

No cause, no effect, no comfort, no thought.

He felt as if he was isolated by Saga's inexplicable emotions, and this feeling made him feel super uncomfortable.

If he is upset, others can't be too!

So it is specifically reflected in how painful the "hardship" life of the other candidates in the sanctuary is.

But now is not the time to focus on this kind of thing, today he must figure out what happened to Saga!

He doesn't want to be kept hidden like this, because they are the most intimate twin brothers in this world!

"..." Saga, who was picked up, took a deep look at himself, his younger brother who was imprisoned by him for 13 years in the last life, and finally took his place in the jihad and died because of it. He decided not to say anything.

Some things just need him to bear them, don't drag Garen into the water...

"It's okay." He heard himself say so, according to his own mind.

But this answer was obviously not what Garen wanted.

So he exploded.

"That's enough Saga! Don't take me for a fool!" Garen tightened his fingers again and pulled Saga towards him. His sea blue eyes, which were similar to Saga but not the same, stared at the opposite. Brother, "You have always been like this...you have always been a good brother in front of everyone...everything is for the sake of me, a bastard who doesn't know how to restrain himself, and everything is for me, no matter what I leave behind. You will clean up the mess perfectly for me...you are a model in everyone's eyes..." And I can only be a negative example.

"Garon..." Saga, who didn't expect to hear words with different expressions but the same meaning as in the previous life, turned pale in an instant.

"...I don't care, Saga!" Seeing Saga's pale face in an instant, the soft-hearted Garen still tried hard to harden his heart, because he knew that as long as his momentum softened, today's goal would come to nothing. , "I don't care about other people's evaluation, because it doesn't hurt me at all."

Only you, the one I can't ignore ignores, only you.

I don't want to be protected by you so repulsively, I want to stand by your side and face the wind and rain with you, even if I'm covered in bruises, as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything...

"It doesn't matter how others treat me, only you..."

"Garon..." Looking at Garen who was holding on to his collar tightly but with a sad expression on his face, Saga suddenly thought of Garen in his previous life. When he turned around and left without hesitation, would he also show such an expression that was different from the previous flamboyant and wanton smiling face, which would make him feel extremely distressed...

"I'm sorry, Garen, I'm sorry..." Thinking of Garen who had been thrown into that water prison by himself for 13 years, Saga, who was filled with guilt and remorse, stretched out his arms and hugged Garen , murmured in such a tone of self-blame, "I'm really sorry...Garon..."

"...I want to hear it, it's not your apology..." Garen, who was being hugged, unconsciously let go of the hand that was holding on to Saga's collar, and rested his forehead on Saga's shoulder, which is still not very deep. superior.

What I want to hear is that you tell me all your thoughts, what I want to hear is all your plans, even if it is to destroy the world, I also want to know.

I just want to help you, Saga.

"Thank you, Garen." Saga, who saw Garen showing his vulnerability for the first time, knew that he couldn't go on like this anymore, he had to get rid of the things in his previous life, just like Master Shi On said, Now that we have a chance to do it all over again...

He also wishes he could take a different path.

Not for atonement, but for a better life.

For the people he cherishes around him, but also for himself.

A few days later, Saga, who stepped into the pope's hall for the first time since that day, knelt down on one knee in front of Shion, and repeated the petition of that day.

"Lord Shi On, please allow me to go undercover next to those brothers."

"... Saga, you know, I..." Shi On, who took a deep look at Saga who was kneeling below, could already feel the changes in the child in front of him, but he still didn't want him to take risks .

"My lord Shion, my lord Pope, such uncertain factors in the sanctuary are a threat to both Lord Athena and the sanctuary. As a candidate for the Gemini gold saint, I cannot ignore it. "Saga with a serious face raised his head, looked at Shi Ang who still didn't agree with him, paused for a while and continued, "... Please rest assured, I will be careful, and I will do everything possible to prevent myself from being hurt. harm……"

"Master Shi On, please entrust this task to me."

……

Saga's clear voice slowly echoed in the huge pope's hall, and finally the dust settled.

"... Saga, you have a good brother." After a while, it was Shi On's voice with a little smile and appreciation that broke the loneliness in the Pope's hall.

"...Yes, I am very glad that he and I are brothers." Saga, who knew Shi On's final decision, raised the corners of his mouth and echoed with a smile, "Also, thank God very much..."

gave me this opportunity.

On this day, Thanadus, who moved his body a bit and was about to start a day's training, suddenly felt a different sight behind him, and the silver-haired dumpling who felt instantly upset was appeased by his own Nissan just before the explosion.

"Hibbs?" The silver-haired dumpling who looked up at his Nissan revealed doubt and dissatisfaction.

"Tani, don't forget our purpose..." Hypnos, who was proficient in stroking his hair with a calm smile on his face, calmly comforted his little brother, and by the way, used the aggressive method, "It's just a Humans, are you scared?"

"Who would be afraid?!" As expected, the silver-haired dumpling jumped up immediately.

"Okay then, let's play a game." The blond Sleeping God, who dug his little brother into the trap he set up step by step, said unkindly, "In the next days in the sanctuary, whoever is the first to Whoever misses the show and is discovered by that human will lose."

"Okay!" Yinmao Tuanzi, who was eager to try, didn't forget to trick himself when he stepped into the trap, "How will the loser be punished?"

"Well... this..." The blond sleepy god, who seemed to be showing timidity, shifted his gaze to the other side.

"Hmph, Hibs, are you afraid of losing?" The silver-haired dumpling who had no idea of ​​the "death" road ahead completely killed himself, "The loser promises the winner one thing, no matter what the request is." Can't defy!"

"How about it?"

"..." Hypnos, who managed to hold back his laughter after looking at a certain dumpling who hadn't realized it since he dug a hole, nodded, but he didn't intend to turn his head back for the time being.

"Ok, deal!"

Completely block the back road.

It's not that Thanadus has no wisdom, it's just that he has always been too lazy to use it, and he has never set up defenses against his dark-bellied Nissan, so...

Please light a candle for Taney's future, and mourn in silence...

Saga, who has been preparing since he got the permission, finally found a suitable opportunity today. The brothers who have been together all this time have a chance to be alone, but Saga's luck is really bad, because he met The one who arrived alone was not the silver-haired dumpling who was easy to deceive, but the black-bellied sleepy god who dared even the king of gods to molest.

"Hello, I'm the alternate saint of the zodiac sign, Saga." Taking the opportunity of helping Hypnos, Saga kindly extended his hand to express his willingness to make friends. The black-bellied sleepy god who watched the theater became a friend who "talks about everything", especially when facing his wayward brother, the two (?) met each other as if they had found a bosom friend, and it was very late. They got acquainted quickly, and they also agreed to bring their younger brother to meet each other tomorrow and train together.

Unexpectedly, it would be so simple. After reporting today's events with Shion and discussing the general route, Saga easily returned to her room, and then, to some extent, she was actually having a farewell with herself. Long told about the meeting with Hypnos and the others tomorrow.

"Hibbs? Saga, when will you... Forget it, it's nothing to make friends with your good face..." Garen, who had expressed his true feelings just once, was habitually stubborn.

"Okay, this time it's not a personal reason, it's a mission." Saga, who knew it was a bad thing to hide from Garen, reached out and rubbed Garen's hair, and then seriously said, "There is a problem with the brothers. Once I approached them just to investigate them, and you came here because it was about you, it’s not good not to explain such things to you, so I remind you first.”

"...Anyway, anyway, you are afraid that I will make trouble for you, right?!" Garen, whose eyes lit up when he heard Saga's explanation, continued to yawn habitually.

"..." Saga, who probably knew how unreliable her younger brother is, smiled, and shook her head helplessly, "You..."
