       Talk About :  

Cycling at full speed, running the buffalo for this time. Happy birthday, Pappi.

We really said Isaac probably doesn't want many gifts. Apart from Avarist's interest in himself alone.

LoL  

In any case, I hope the owner takes a lot of interest in dogs like yours.

Evarist flicked the bloodstained rapier and put it back in its sheath. Amber eyes looked at the murky waters of the lake that the monster named Ubos occupied. The mist was so thick that the tall man could not see the path ahead.

The atmosphere at the lakeside was not good. Even other strange creatures It's not that much of a pleasure. That makes traveling during this period seem unusually depressing.

“Is that good?” asked a doll with curly brown-orange hair. He tugged at the hem of the bespectacled young man's shirt. Evarist raised an eyebrow in confusion. Look at the doll with a neutral expression.

“Today is Isaac's birthday.”

Evarist remained silent. His eyes continued to look at the path ahead after the collision had finally cleared the way. The young man let out a slow sigh. With a sad smile on his face

“Even so, it's not like we'll meet here. Haven't you been able to contact the doll named Kiriya since you entered the lake region?” The doll nodded. As he walked, he led the bespectacled young man on the path ahead.

“Probably something to do with the interference,” Evarist said softly. He thought back to his conversation with the little doll. Said something was bothering me while trying to contact another doll.

They can't contact anyone. Since entering the lake area that Ubos ruled The size of trading with Rudd, which is usually just a doll, is imaginary. The store will appear in front of it. Instead, it can only be done in certain areas.

“By the way, do you remember Isaac's birthday? I remember I never told you. Or did you see it from my memories?” The doll nodded after Evarist finished speaking. As he slowly walked his feet

“Your expression is not good. When something like this came up to me,” the doll herself spoke. In contrast, Evarist was silent. His grip on the rapier in his hand grew tighter and tighter.

“I won't deny that I want to meet you. But there's no other way. Now that can be done I must hurry and leave the lake area.” The young man smiled wryly. The fog was still so thick that it was difficult to see the road ahead. Notice that the doll's footsteps are slowly slowing down. Makes you know immediately that the energy that drives the doll is about to run out.

After a few moments, it was as expected. The doll stood still. He let Evarist carry the body before finding a place to sleep, waiting for the doll he had given up his coat to sleep with to wake up and lead the way.

The young man sighed again. Even the warrior spirit is not hungry But annoying symptoms like thinking so much that his stomach hurts still bothered him. Even if you come to the world of Unlight

The avatar that led the way remained calm. With no sign of him waking up any time soon, Evarist continued to sit and think.

Thinking of the birthday person Too many…

“It's because of Ubos' interference,” said Blau, the young man who had been chosen as an Achilles of the Unlight World. As he opened the next page of the book In front of him was a red bob haired doll with his arms crossed over his chest, along with Isaac who was frowning in an unusual way.

They summoned Blau to inquire about the missing dolls named Kana and Evarist in the Lake Region that Ubos ruled. And it seems that the summoning of Blau this time will help clarify the doubts about not being able to contact. But it doesn't quite help them keep in touch.

“It looks like this time. Ubos will have more power than normal. It has even disturbed the lady's waves as well. It's not like this incident hasn't happened before, young lady. You can rest easy, that side should still be safe.” There was a sound of pounding on the table. The two tea glasses vibrated with the force of the impact. Along with Isaac, he stood up from the sofa impatiently.

“Calm down, Isaac,” the doll next to him said, gently tugging at the hem of his shirt. Make him not go on a rampage any more. He could only let out an uneasy breath.

“Please take it easy. This event was not completely normal. A doll that guides the Avarist position The last time I had contact with Rude was a few days ago. Both of you look safe.” Blau tried to calm the other party down. The hand closed the book that contained the information.

Contrary to Isaac's mind, which became more and more cloudy. Even though today is his birthday

Isaac admitted that since his Guide Doll had been unable to communicate with Avarist's Guide Doll, It made him nervous. He hastened to travel in time to arrive. But it seems that every day dolls have different limits. And he understood that he could not accelerate any further than he was.

When you leave on your own, you can't do it. Because if there is no avatar to guide the way They are just lost. and only lost in this place

“If I can't help you, please contact me. Let's continue on our way.” His voice was so cold it made me flinch. The doll is small, although it doesn't show any facial expressions. But he could well understand the young man's inner frustration.

“Not yet. I still don't know where I'm going.” Tukta shook her head. Even though she's happy to help But the guidance that came from intuition was now fading. Isaac sat down on the sofa in the hallway, looking annoyed once again.

“Today is your birthday, don't act like that.” But it was enough to know that the other party was trying to encourage him. The young man himself wanted to smile to make the other person feel at ease every time he did. But this time, his lips were difficult to stretch into a smile. The only thing that can be done is reduce the hardness of the eyes.

"Sorry for making you worried..."

Isaac's memories were complete. After successfully gathering the Shards of Memory He realized...

About the importance of Avarist equivalent to his own life

“Oh, right… Happy birthday, Isaac.” The boot polisher looked up at the voice who had just closed his file. With a surprised expression, “Did you forget that today is your birthday?” Evarist chuckled. His chin looked at the other person who looked like he still had doubts.

“Today already? I can't remember at all.” The birthday person took his hands off polishing his shoes. Throw all your equipment into the storage basket. before moving to sit on the sofa While pretending to think

After Avarist's career promotion Work seems to pile up more and more. Of course, he was promoted as his right-hand man. Work follows as a shadow until you accidentally become workaholic and follow the person in front of you until you forget the day and forget the night.

"Do you want an extra day off? I approve. Half a day off work." Isaac shook his head. As he picked up this document, he looked at it endlessly.

“No, this is dinner. It would be better to have you as the dealer.” Evarist raised an eyebrow. while his slender hand opened the next document to sign.

“It's so small. Another gift?” Blue eyes rolled up and looked at the ceiling. before laughing back in response to the young man with glasses who was still working at the table.

“If there isn't any now. Another thing I told you. Ava will probably kick my ass.” His slender eyebrows knit together as soon as the other person finished speaking. The young man sighed before hurriedly continuing his work.

“Just playing around. Then save that quota for next year. Oh!! Don't bother, today's work isn't finished. You better prepare yourself, I'm the host for dinner."

"Wow, you're so bold. In short, you're raising horses."

“If you don't bother me until the job is ruined,” Isaac smiled. before laying down on the sofa in a relaxed manner while raising his hand in agreement with the exchange Let the workaholic still focus on finishing work in time for the urgent dinner schedule just moments ago. Opposite the person rolling around on the sofa. Just lay there with a little smile and a big smile like that.

The gift he wanted

There is only one thing…

“Hey, Eva…” The person whose name was called looked up from the pile of documents. With a questioning look in his eyes, a faint smile appeared on Isaac's face once again.

“Can I stay with you tonight?” The pen used to sign the document fell out of his hand. With a face that turned red before the other party nodded lightly. Instead of answering with sound The owner of the black hair pushed up his glasses as if to correct his embarrassment.

“Special case…”

The moment Evarist looked at him

Only one person...

Isaac pulled out a sword from the corpse of the monster in front of him. The young man didn't seem tired. Even if traveling continuously for many hours with their goals It is the lake boundary where the other party is.

After his guide doll sensed the next direction, Isaac did not have a single break in his journey. Again, the speed at which you can eliminate the obstacles in front of you will increase every moment.

He will stop only when the doll remains motionless.

“Which way next?” The doll walked forward, leading the way. You could feel Isaac's restlessness. Ever since I couldn't get in touch with the Kana doll. The owner of those blue eyes seemed to speak very little. It became unusually quiet. The smile on his face faded. Only a plain face remains.

If you say it's getting scarier, it wouldn't be very wrong.

“Are you worried?” Tukta asked after being quiet the whole way.

“More than life.”

young man breathing before pulling the collar of the doll's shirt and swinging it backwards As soon as he heard the sound of trees shaking in front of him, The sword that had been put into the vegetable was drawn again. Isaac stepped forward. Swing your sword at the target to strike first.

The metallic sound of the two swords clashing hard. Isaac uses pressure with his sword to push his opponent back. Before his eyes widened in shock, “Eva?”

The owner of the name raised his head at the sound of the voice. Before he could say anything The doll that was leading the bespectacled man suddenly rushed over. “Ah, Kiriya!” The sound of the doll made the sword fall from his hand.

Suddenly seeing the other party's guiding doll Isaac was immediately certain that the other party was not the lost soul he had encountered before. Then a rough hand will pull the other person into his own embrace.

“Isaac, I can't breathe,” Evarist said in a low voice. while the force of the other person's hug was still tight with no signs of letting go easily Some people's faces lit up when they found their dolls staring at them.

“Eva, Eva, really Eve, it's good that you're safe.” His face was pressed against his small shoulder. The happiness was not hidden like a pet that had not seen its owner for a long time. Evarist acted erratically at first. before trying to let go Allow the other person to hug you until they are satisfied. With a voice that kept calling his name over and over.

“Can you not cry? Today isn't your birthday, right? It's almost the end of the day…” Evarist hugged the other person slowly. with a gentle voice “Sorry for making you worried.”

“I didn't cry.”

"I'll try to think of it as sweat." A soft laugh sounded. of a thin person rang out Evarist turned his attention away from the two dolls. Let the other person In contrast to the eldest, his expression looked like he was dissatisfied with being teased like that.

“I thought you were at the lake.” Isaac still didn't let go of his embrace. I secretly admitted that I actually cried just now. Because I was a little too happy to meet the other person.

“At first it was… But my doll seems to be cooperating a little, so… back to the beginning. in order to meet you Happy birthday, Isaac. A little late, but still in time, right? I'm sorry, I didn't have time to prepare anything for the present either. Especially in a world like that. Wishing you a happy birthday would be a little weird.”

"Are you still listening? Hey, what's wrong, Isaac?" Amber eyes widened in shock. As soon as the other party stops hugging before falling and sitting on the floor. Evaris squatted down and looked at the other person's condition almost immediately.

Then in the blink of an eye Isaac's lips touched gently. on his lips

“It's okay, just a little overjoyed,” Isaac pursed his lips. Move your forehead closer to the other's forehead. Then a smile that had disappeared for several days appeared on his face, along with Evarist's face becoming brighter.

“Seeing your face is enough.”

“Maknoi,” the bespectacled young man's sarcastic voice sounded softly. Letting his hand tremble, he pulled his slender hand into a tight grip. Isaac chuckled. The cloudiness in his heart vanished as if it were a lie.

“Are you going to give it a lot or not?”

The answer is silence. before changing the topic to other matters such as tonight's accommodations And the birthday person himself allowed him to change the subject for good. And he didn't say anything, but he knew...

Know what the answer is

“You can live with a small smile and a big smile. Get up and go find a place to stay, Isaac.”

“Okay, let's go now.”

Isaac's footsteps sounded again. With Avarist walking beside him. along the way And according to the agreement, the two dolls chose to go together for a while. So that the warrior spirits accompanying the two could stay and talk a little more. It's the least gift they can give.

Until each person's journey begins again.

I wish they had time together.

Even a little bit is still good.
