"I feel a little sorry."
Yuna carefully brought up the topic of Quintia.
"Oh, I'm not saying what Sanghyuk is saying to you."
"Know."
I thought about it as I slurped the udon into my mouth.
The reason why Yuna sides with Quintia...
"You were a fan of Quintia, right? Yuna."
"Huh."
Rather than being emotionally upset by Quintia's actions, Yuuna seemed to feel a little sorry for her.
『Landscape Cutting』 is Yuuna's main skill, modeled after Quintia.
"When I entered the first year of Quintia, I fell in love with the swordsmanship she used. I remember trying hard to follow her because I wanted to become like her."
"Did the second year learn from the first year?"
"Oh, I didn't ask you to come and teach me! I just looked at you.
I saw it too.
Quintia's swordsmanship is beautiful. It's amazing how a person can show such movements.
Did she inherit her mother's swordsmanship?
If she had a good personality, she would probably be loved by many people.
If you look closely, Quintia is alone, even when she eats.
She is alone during class and during exchanges.
"Yuuna, she was on Quintia's side back then, right?"
"Ah. During the exchange war? Yes! I was the queen."
"Queen Tia protected me... What did she say to you back then?"
"…"
Yuuna scratched her head shyly.
"Just don't let her come out of the queen's room because it won't help."
"You said that? To your senior."
"… Ah… Um… I'm not angry because it's true. If it's just Quintia, then she's okay! I think she was watching with the same feeling.
"… You're a pretty big fan, huh?"
"Hmm… Well, there is no one among the prosecutors who hates Quintia. I guess."
Thinking back,
Cybele and the imperial army from Infinite Gapjil Village came to bow their heads and ask us to rest at our inn.
She remembers that she did that because Quintia indifferently asked if she knew anything about your situation.
Until now, there has been a steady accumulation of problematic behavior.
Finally, the womb started to emerge.
Is that what it feels like?
Yuna, who likes to be looked after...
It seemed like he was looking at Quintia with a generous heart, just like her mother.
"Please be a little lenient on what he's doing. I'm not saying you did anything, but I think someone needs to be a little gentler."
"Why?"
Why do I have to be gentle?
"But…"
Yuna let out a sigh.
"She lost both her parents when she was about 5 years old... I have a mother, but she...
"It might be worse to sympathize that way."
"Yes…?"
"I gave you a mission, and if you complete that mission, you will be her companion. I just said that and didn't even intervene. Quintia will take care of the rest."
"…"
I smiled slightly as I looked at her downcast Yuna.
"Okay."
"Yes?"
"I will judge you somewhat leniently."
"Ah… Thank you. Please keep the fact that I said this a secret."
"If you ask, I'll say it was an anonymous fan of Quintia's swordsmanship."
"Hmmmm! There is no sin in swordsmanship!"
The Quintia story is over.
Henna, who hesitated, pulled my sleeve.
Kuuk. Kuuk.
"Huh? Why, Henna. Do you have something to say?"
"Animated film…"
"Huh?"
"A fun new anime has come out."
…
The academy seems to be peaceful.
Her otaku talk after a long time.
"Shall we watch it together after class?"
"Uh, yes. Yuuna too…?"
Yuna was startled and waved her hand.
"I-I'm fine…"
"Ehe, Sanghyuk, and I... Just the two of us."
"…Fun…?"
"What I saw before was fun."
"Ugh. It's the same writer and director this time. It's a story about the main character who gets a time-stopping clock and lives at an academy."
… It's an intro, like anime?
"Ah! I know what that is."
Unexpectedly, Yuna reacts.
"A pink toy watch—that's the porn that men like!"
"How do you know that?!"
"Did you think women wouldn't know? Hehe!"
It's gotten to the point where, when I think of time stopping, the face of a pretty blonde goddess smiling mischievously, huh, huh, comes to mind.
Wait, time stops?
"Ah. I have to go to the workshop."
Is it time to leisurely eat lunch?
I had an idea of where I needed to go.
Wait! Cheap but similar!
* * *
"Mom. Where are you going?"
Quintia remembers her mother from her childhood as a sweet and warm person.
"Go to work with Mom and Dad."
"Can't you go? Can't you just stay with me?"
Even though Sword Saint Justia looked embarrassed at Quintia's tantrum, she did not lose her smile.
"Mom, I want to do that too."
Even though she was young and didn't know anything, she had a vague understanding.
The world wants her mother at her core.
There are people who come to your doorstep and break the peace in your home. Quintia was very disgusted with them.
This was before I even knew about the feeling of disgust.
"Geomseong should take responsibility for her talents!"
"Clear the area quickly!"
Quintia thought that the protestors had changed her mother's answer by threatening to kill her if she didn't save her.
"I'll come back from work."
"Mom, when are you coming? Huh?"
"Hmm... after Queen Tia swings her sword 10,000 times?"
Her father, who was watching from behind her, laughed as if it were ridiculous.
"What are you trying to make a 5-year-old child do? It's child abuse 10,000 times over. You."
"Hmm! Well, the future swordsman has to do that!? My daughter can do it, right?"
"Yes, you can. Come back. Swing 10,000 times and then come back."
Mom didn't come back.
While conquering the realm of space, Justia went missing after a fierce battle with her queen, and her father was found dead.
Was Quintia sad at that time?
She wasn't sad.
Because everything happened so smoothly that she didn't even understand it. She had no time to be sad.
Her father had left her a huge amount of money that she could never spend, just in case Quintia was left alone, and she was ready to hand it over to her relatives.
People talked about the Sword Saint's sacrifice every day, and every time people saw her face for the first time, they came up to Quintia and said,
"Your mother was truly a great woman."
… I had to hear her wipe away tears as she said this.
"She must grow up strong even without her mother. Because you are the daughter of that hero, Justia."
'What are you talking about? 'Mom can't come back.'
She said it would come back after 10,000 swings.
It's not easy for Aggie, who doesn't even have blisters on her hands yet, to swing her wooden sword 10,000 times.
Her wooden sword only weighed around 800g, but even an untrained adult would start to feel pain in her arms if she swung it a hundred times.
"Quintia! What are you doing?"
"I want to learn the sword."
Quintia let out a grunt and gripped her wooden sword.
She started swinging.
Not because she felt like she was training her sword skills, but because she said that if she swung it, her mother would come back.
Until 10,000 times become 20,000 times, 20,000 times become 50,000 times, and 50,000 times become 100,000 times.
Of course, Justia did not return.
By the time she entered elementary school, Quintia had begun to show off her skill with a sword that was second to none, and her knighthood had begun.
The article also got to see Quintia, who had now developed her literacy skills.
『daughter of the sword saint, Quintia. She wields her sword to avenge her dead mother.』
She vaguely remembers an interview from her childhood.
Reporters who came into her house asked young Queen Tia through her microphone. Everyone was trying to figure out why her child was wielding a sword and what his innocent intentions were.
"Uh, mom…"
The one word that came out of Quintia's mouth was "Mom."
It was just one word.
The next day's article said:
She said, "She never felt sad. All I think about is avenging her mother.』
『Like Justia, who saves people,
『Daughter of the Sword Saint, surpassing children her age with overwhelming talent』
『Korea's Hope, Future』
What journalist would write a novel that wasn't even false in the first place?
Finding the source is pointless.
This was Quintia's concept, determined by the country and public sentiment.
The daughter carries on the legacy of Justia, who unfortunately lost her life while trying to protect the country.
The daughter misses her mother and becomes a piece of trash that does not fit into her society.
As if she would not allow herself to be remembered as a failure of Korean society.
People put a strong frame on Quintia.
A swordsman-genius girl who avenges her mother.
That made her price skyrocket, and her pretty face, resembling her mother, made her even more valuable.
A teenage girl who develops the strength to avenge her mother.
How much of a concept resonates with people?
"Mom… Come back…"
Quintia swung her sword nine million times at the age of 13.
She never once forgot to count.
To change her mother's answer, gravitational waves were an object of hatred, and Quintia handled it all with the usual overwhelming skill.
YouTube, which she watches alone, was Quintia's friend.
『We are always exposed to risk. Look at the carefree people. Even though monsters are pouring into our cities, we still see it as money. I don't think it's a sign of despair.』
"…"
Her mother was strong.
Quintia is now old enough to know that.
The monsters in the gravitational wave were so powerful that even the mother had no choice but to collapse without being able to respond.
Quintia was handling her duties as if they were her own.
'Because I am a girl who has to avenge her mother and cultivates the blade of revenge.'
What?
'Uh?'
Was it like that?
Quintia did not question her sword.
'I see.'
I have lived to avenge my mother and her father.
Quintia accepted her concept meekly. I'm tired of pretending that it's not the case anymore. She decided to make it happen.
The sword she wielded every day, crying out for her mother's return, became a sword to avenge her mother, and all her monsters fell at Quintia's feet.
As if it were natural.
She speaks as if it is a task given to her by her world.
'Everyone has a role.'
Will the child who thinks about eating tteokbokki during lunch be able to avenge Justia's grudge?
This is something no one can do. I have to do it.
Stay out of the way, and get out of the way.
I mean, Vicky...
'As for Isolde, she was a hard-working girl.'
Quintia deeply regretted her own remarks.
After taking some time to look back, I realized why Sanghyuk asked me to apologize.
Her heart ached.
I didn't mean to say that.
…
A sincere apology. Can I do it?
It's not something you can do by rushing in, and a sincere apology takes more courage than you think.
Prepare your mind. Prepare your mind.
Quintia looks at Isolde and sees her opportunity.
"Quintia is glaring at you."
Isolde almost dropped her cup after hearing Sarika's words.
'Why are you doing this to me? …'
Of course, Isolde also felt sorry for slapping her.
However, there is a feeling that the other person was at fault first, so an uncomfortable atmosphere continues.
In the meantime, Quintia was staring at her as if she were going to eat her, so she didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry. When Quintia pulls out her sword, I'll fight with you."
"Don't be scary. Sarika!!"
"Why? What happened?"
Serena sticks her head out.
"Yes, Serena… You know. Just before…"
After hearing her whole story, Serena opened her eyes and blinked.
"Quinthia said that?"
"Yeah. I'm crying too, so stop."
This story is also relayed to her sister's community, where she shares information about her brother.
[Stellar]
The base guys are free and fighting like that.
[Serena]
Stella is talking like Hilaria.
[Stellar]
You can go in alone, like me.
Stella, the queen of single players, smiled.
[Serena]
Don't you make a squad? Stella is
[Stellar]
I don't raise her like that; she's her brother's cute little sister.
[Serena]
I guess it has nothing to do with being her cute little sister.
Stella and Serena were watching the situation from a step away.
It is a matter between the parties. A difficult situation to intervene in.
However, everyone was realizing that Quintia was starting to feel like talking to Isolde.
"Sorry."
"…"
Quintia approached and spoke honestly.
Isol De sits at her desk and looks at her Queen Tia.
"…What?"
I know they came to apologize for some reason, but the inertia from which they argued remained the same, so Isolde responded bluntly even though she wasn't angry.
"I said it in a way that I didn't know much about and that wouldn't be of any help to you."
"…Whew."
Isolde stood up and faced Quintia.
"I'm really sorry. I hit you.
"It's okay. It didn't hurt."
I don't think it's a matter of whether it hurts or not.
Anyway, Isolde accepted Quintia's apology.
"Right now, you are stronger than me, but I am also developing my abilities together with senior Sanghyuk... So I will be of help to you someday."
"It already helped. You accepted my apology."
"Huh?"
"I'm going to go to Senior Sanghyuk and tell him that you accepted my apology."
"What are you talking about?"
Sol, who ran out at that time, was unaware of the situation and tilted his head.
Her expression changes when she hears her friend next to her whispering.
"… You said you would accept me if Sanghyuk came back with an apology?"
"Okay. You accepted my apology, right? Don't say anything else later."
Isol De had a strong desire to turn everything around, but she held it down and swallowed it down.
Her eyes were suddenly burning with hostility.
"… Did you take advantage of my answer? Did you just act sorry?"
"Oh, no… I didn't mean to be sorry."
Quintia stuttered in embarrassment, thinking she had made a mistake.
Still, my eyes are drawn to the clock ticking toward lunch time.
"I have to go to senior Sanghyuk."
"Are you really playing with people? Are you only thinking about yourself?"
"Well, the time limit is until lunch time. The apology was sincere.
"You want me to believe that?"
Isol De, who tried to raise her hand again, held it back.
"Okay. I won't say anything else. Go to senior Sanghyuk and do whatever you want."
"Isolde… I'm really sorry.
"That's it! Don't talk to me again."
…
Quintia quietly lowered her head.
"I'm sorry. Let's talk again when I get back."
Isol De turned her head.
At that moment, Quintia saw everyone's cold gaze.
The look in his eyes seemed to scold him, asking why someone like you was here.
Quintia runs out of the classroom.
'Anyway, I have to inform senior Sanghyuk of the results.'
