The Immortal Has a Guardian Spirit - Denpi

Chapter 3: Messenger of Death (3)

"It's ridiculous that we still don't know the name of the guardian spirit. The deadline is... Half a year will be enough."

"...Ah... ."

"Of course, getting the answer directly from the guardian spirit is invalid. The hint is... I'll allow up to one. Since you've been together, you won't need a lot of hints"

Raven glanced up.

[Guardian spirit ??? is glaring at Death.]

"..."

"It seems like my guardian spirit really hates it." 

Seeing that he is sending a message like this even though he is barely able to lend his eyes, weighed down by the energy of Death.

From the first time we met, he didn't want to tell us his name. He just claimed he was my ancestor and asked me to call him his older brother. Whenever he was asked his name, he would avoid it, saying that calling him by his title would suffice.

So this bet may not be very pleasant right now...

"If I've already accepted it, it won't matter."

"That's right..."

Because he's already 'accepted' the bet. At this point, he had no choice but to win. Raven looked down at the cool hand that flicked his index and middle fingers tapped his chest, and then let out a laugh.

The green eyes, which did not show any life even though they were brightly shining, were filled with mockery towards themselves.

"It's been a long time since I forgot my own name, but now I find out someone else's name."

"If you are a stranger, the guardian spirit will be upset. And it won't be a losing bet. Honestly, aren't you curious? Even though you have been together for such a long time, the reason why the guardian spirit hasn't even told you his name."

"..."

"I'm sure you've wondered at least once why he taking such care of you, what his identity is, and what his purpose is... ."

"That's enough."

It's definitely something he's had doubts about at least once, and he still has them, but it's not to the point where he openly shows himself being swayed by the words of Death. Death is something he needs to be more wary of than the guardian spirit that has helped him so far.

Above all, that's not what he needs to worry about now. I slowly closed my eyes and roughly spit out an affirmation."Half a year from now. Okay."He has to prepare to go out into the world again.

Raven lifted his hand and pressed it to his throbbing eye. The vibrations of his slightly trembling hands can be felt on the sensitive skin around his eyes.

"What else do I have to do?"

"Hm?"

"Is this the end?"

... He's been at the gate for too long.

He feels like my eyes are burning. No, he feels like my whole body is burning. He unwittingly sweeps down his arms to see if his body is fine due to the fever that covers his entire body.

An incident from one day in the past, now likely to be forgotten, slowly eroded his memory."Why is there no answer?""...Well."

As he gently clenched his fists due to the phantom pain that was growing in his presence, Death, who seemed to have noticed the situation, smiled and took a relaxed stance.

"Maybe there was more, maybe not. I think I need to think about it for a while."

"......."

...He's getting back the prank he just played.
