Episode 103
A cracked voice rang out in the empty field.
âI mean it, I donât need anything else. That one just enough.â
The golden eye resembling the tigerâs eyes looked down at me. His eyes were shining brightly like a lake in an old legend that turned into gold.
âYerineâ¦.â
âCassius, donât blame yourself for my injury.â
I said, wrapped his hand and pressed it firmly.
âIt wasnât anybodyâs fault. It was just an accident.â
I raised my head and looked up at Cassius, who quietly bit his lips.
âBut I just keep thinking about it.â
For more,
Cassiusâ voice was sinking low.
With a voice that felt the weight of agony, my heart seemed to be getting heavier.
âI know why you keep saying youâre okay. Youâre a person who canât say harsh things.â
âCassius, no. No one thinks Cassius should feel guilty.â
Cassius tilted his head and answered me with his sparkling golden eyes.
âI donât know if Iâm guiltyâ¦â¦. I canât say there isnât a sense of guilt at all, but I donât think thatâs all I feel.â
Looking at his worried expression, I couldnât figure out exactly what emotion he was feeling.
Perhaps Cassius himself doesnât know how he was feeling.
His expression seemed to be a mixture of complex emotions.
âI wasnât used to keeping things. You were the only one I wanted to keep.â
The face of Cassius, who was crying in the memory of Yerine, passed through my eyes.
The voice that was urgently shouting to save me, and the touch of the small hand that was holding my collar tightly.
âI thought that if I learned the healing magic, you wonât be hurting so much as you were a kid.â
Then Cassius smiled a small smile.
âBut I guess I was overconfident. Even in the last raid, there was nothing I could do.â
âWhat do you mean nothing? You fought hard with the monster. You even take the lead in that.â
I spoke with a slightly cracked voice as I replied to Cassius.
âI donât know. I only thought that my healing magic didnât work.â
For more,
âCall her if something bad happens, what did she mean by that?â
I didnât know how specifically the white woman was going to help.
There I didnât know who she was, and I didnât know her name, so there was virtually no way to call her.
âIs it really just a silly dream?â
Subsequently, people said that there are cases of dreaming like this. Although the dream was so vivid, there were too many strange things to believe that it was real.
When I slightly turned my head, my eyes met with myself in the mirror.
A woman with red eyes, like a woman in a dream, was in it.
âAnd Iâve never seen anyone with eyes of the same colour as me.â
People called me a monster because I had red eyes that no one had.
And Yerineâs parents, neither of them had red eyes.
Of course, the woman in my dream was so beautiful to be a monster. I couldnât figure out what was what even though I thought about it.
Finally, I got out of bed with a sigh and started to change my clothes.

âPhew, why are you so concerned these days?â
I woke up early because of a strange dream, so I had too much time left until class.
Eventually, I decided to practice magic, but I couldnât concentrate because my mind was too complicated.
âAnd the red-eyed woman, and the Cassius and Eugene issuesâ¦â¦.â
I sighed again and closed my eyes.
âI understand why Cassius says so, but Eugene, why does he say he likes me all of a sudden?â
At that very moment, the door to the gym opened.
âHuh? What, were you here?â
Sure enough, Eugene, one of the causes of my troubles, stood there.
