Chapter 583  Night on the outskirts 

We came out after our talk with Azmail and yes Rein was afraid and confused and all but, a very long hug and a few long kisses were enough to calm her down… thankfully.

It was a nice experience and yes it was fearful for Rein and others at the end, but it was mostly fun.

\'And a quite unique kind of fun since we saw that amazing place, the pretty mine, the creatures that were also cute from Rein\'s perspective, and the experience of falling into that great pit that we had.\'

Well, that was that, but thanks to Azmail, we were able to create a magic array at the start of the path that we can use to directly teleport down there. And since the only way to climb up that pit was to fly up, we received Queen Fio\'s help once again.

We didn\'t spend a long time down there and just came out by the time it was night since I had a few things to do out here at the night so, we were out now, and

Rein and I were sitting by the shallow lake with a few newly grown trees around us, and a bonfire before us.

"You remembered…"

"Do I forget anything?"

"That\'s true too."

She smiled warmly as she lay in my lap, looking up at the starry sky that looked strangely even brighter and filled with even more stars than the one we saw on that illustration island during our entrance exam.

"It was fun, now that I think about it. It was just a few days ago that we were sitting just like this on that illusionary island, but it seems like a long time has passed already."

I do also thought a long time has passed. Months probably. I would even say many chapters of our life had passed already.

Things were different now. We were academy students, the student council members that were under the task to find a certain lost creature on this island right now.

Which we had already found but that aside, the time right now… was ours.

"Haaa… I was really afraid back then," she said in her sweet low voice, and I smiled at my fiancée and kissed her.

"It\'s alright to afraid, it shows you truly love that person. But I know you also had faith that nothing would happen to me, so, isn\'t that fine? It\'s just a normal response and even I would be afraid if you were in the same situation.

Hell, I would break that barrier or cut right through those restrictions to come to you."

She sighed with a prettier smile when she heard those words and nodded as if realizing something.

"I should have done that."

She said that, but, we both knew she couldn\'t have been able to cut through that barrier and stayed well afterward.

She could certainly cut through anything, even the things that were abstract. She had that power.

As long as anything existed within the common reality, she can cut that with her witchcraft.

But, had she done that during the situation we were in a while ago, she would have weakened significantly, and then she wouldn\'t have been able to handle the restrictions at all.

She would get hurt and, seeing her hurt was the last thing I wanted in this life.

"Haaa…"

I sighed, the night breeze passed through the surroundings, nature was quiet now, and the nightly creatures were singing the song of love.

"What is the meaning of all the things we do, darling?" She asked with genuine curiosity and it was a question I had also thought about in detail for a long time.

Still…

"I do not know either. But, I believe the reason we live, is to find that uncertain meaning.

Probably it is something grand, which I do not want it to be. Maybe it is nothing at all, which isn\'t something you would want it to be.

Then we would think it\'s something normal like, to achieve true happiness and achieve the goals we set for ourselves, which would disappoint both of us since we had given this thing called \'life\' too much for it to not be something satisfactory.

I wish to know the meaning too, but, what does it matter actually?"

I looked at her with that question in my eyes, smiling.

And there was the same smile on her face, showing how she understood those simple-sounding yet complex words.

"Life is like a river, it flows.

Life is like a tree, it grows.

Life is like that sun that has shone eternally but still certainly has an end.

Life, oh dear life. It is a bird that could certainly fly, but, has forgotten this fact after childhood.

People grow, and then they question the meaning of existence.

But they were once young… and the only thing they did back then, was to enjoy this \'life\' with so many diverse meanings."

She quoted a poem, certainly something she just came up with. And yes it didn\'t flow well since she had just spoken it on the spot but, it certainly carried the messages across.

And in response to such a beautiful piece, how could I not respond with something of my own?

"Life, oh dear life. Did death say she loves you?

Death oh death. Did you hear? Life is afraid of you.

Child, oh child of the earth. Did you hear, both life, and death favor you?

Oh men of the earth, did you forget, they both, favored you?"

"Ptfff. It doesn\'t make sense, silly~."

She laughed out loud at my sloppy response but, it was deep if you read between the lines, and something that was abstract, might change according to one\'s perspective, but still something that contained a single message at the end.

And, she knew it too. So, after that cheerful laugh, she smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.

"We forgot. And it\'s unavoidable, perhaps."

"Or perhaps not?"

Was it necessary to change as we grow up?

Yes, change was an eternal truth but, was it necessary when it came to mortal life though?

"Perhaps, we choose to change."

Perhaps, we do it after going through multiple experiments, phases of life, trials and difficulties, pain and suffering that the happiness we receive during that journey seems insignificant.

Perhaps we change because we want to change so that we don\'t have to go through the same thing ever again.

Perhaps we change… to avoid that pain we once felt.

Perhaps… the fear of pain, is the force behind this perpetual cycle of grief.

"Perhaps. But, don\'t some people experience the exact opposite thing? Don\'t those who have suffered, been through something very horrible, been through loneliness and pain, or heartache and self-loathing… find happiness too?"

Her question… she was looking at me, reflecting myself in those clear pink eyes that I loved dearly.

Her question was aimed at the two of us, the miserable duo that had been through a lot, but by some fatal flaw in both our fates, met accidentally, and not long after… became inseparable.

"We did."

We found the salvation that we always needed, the happiness that we deserved, and the love that we both had been thirsty for the entire time we had lived.

We found something people don\'t. We found each other but, it was not something that would have happened had I wasn\'t in that forest on that certain day.

Even grandma, someone who had seen the future, didn\'t know when we would meet. So, it was best to say it was all a coincidence.

"But it was a coincidence that might not happen for anyone else ever again."

What about the people that never found someone? What about the people that found their salvation but were too unprepared to recognize it? What if they already had their salvation but were too dumb to cast it away?

What about the ones who had their salvation, and lived with that salvation, but that person that liberated them from the bounds of the world, left for the afterlife before them?

What we had, what happened to us, was not something that might happen with anyone else but…

"But I hope this great coincidence happens again. For the people who deserve it. For the people like Chry and Alph.

And I also pray the people who have that light already before them, people like my little Alf and Captain Alpha, recognize it before it\'s too late, and accept it if the light is good enough to greet them first."

I sighed and looked at her. And she was smiling, bathing in the light of this bright blue moon, shining like a divine being, exuding her own light that drove me deeper inside her eyes.

"Haaa… fuck everything. Kiss me."

We were alone in this place, Zoe and others were outside, playing with the younger flamingoes, and we were surrounded by these trees that we grew with magic so, aside from these celestial objects, there hopefully was no eye looking at us.

"Of course my lady."

We were alone, so we could do a few things. But still, we could only do a few things.

The time that changes… I long for the day we can do all the things we imagined. All the things that played in our minds. All the bad thoughts, that we were barely controlling…
