I became the sick nobelman

Chapter 69 - It's moving (2)

Yum. Yum.

At the feeling of soft material brushing across his face, Ruel frowned and opened his eyes.

"...what's wrong, Leo?"

It was still dark outside.

—Cassion and Ganien are fighting!

"That's how it was back in Setiria. Don't worry and go to sleep."

—I can feel the ground shaking! Look over there! The purple flame...

"...!"

Ruel immediately opened the window and looked out.

It was quite far from here, but the purple and blue lights were visible.

'You crazy people!'

It's not like fireworks in the middle of the night. What is this about?

"Aris!"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Aris hurried inside at the urgent voice of Ruel.

Ruel said, pointing to the lights, "Bring them right now!"

Aris soon swept his chest in relief.

"They seem to be having fun fighting, so why don't you leave it alone?"

"What?"

"After meeting the black-blooded man, both of them seemed to have been deeply troubled. Of course, I am also worried."

Aris closed the door he had opened.

"The enemy... did not die. I felt like everything I'd learned was falling apart. I think that's how those two feel. Please understand."

Ruel looked through the window and inhaled Breath.

"Go."

Aris closed the open window and headed towards the door.

"Are you anxious?"

At Ruel's low voice, Aris breathed deeply.

"Yes, I'm anxious now."

The door opened and closed.

Ruel lay down again.

Leo curled up close to his face, glancing around.

—This body is unstable, too. If this body could purify...

"Okay, I won't force you to do what you can't do."

—Can't Ruel teach this body?

Leo was too desperate to just laugh it off.

Ruel patted Leo on the head.

"At that time, I don't know if I can say it was my instinct, but it wasn't my will anyway. I think I'll get the hang of it if I try it again."

—Instinct?

"Yes, instinct. I still don't know why I can purify it."

—Doesn't this body have an instinct? Why doesn't it show up?

Leo sounded kind of sad.

"Let's go to bed now."

After stroking Leo again, Ruel closed his eyes.

—...instinct.

Leo stared at the sky, reflecting on what Ruel had said.
