"You, that's...! Do you have to do that far?"

Eugene stormed out of the seat and shouted.

Carefully leaning Cassius against the pillar of the tree, I glanced back at Eugene, who was so excited.

"That prince is right. Why do you always have to suffer? What did you do wrong?"

"Yeah, I'm curious, too."

I replied with a weak voice with a big smile.

"If I didn't have to do it, my life could have been more comfortable."

I looked at Cassius who was asleep and said quietly.

"There would be nothing that would prick inside."

Erica shouted desperately at the words.

"Yerine, there's got to be something else."

It would have been nice.

If there was a way that there was a way with no chance of dying, it would have been great.

Unfortunately, there was no such way now.

I knew it instinctively.

This is the only way I have left.

"Yerine, let's think a little bit. Five hours is still......."

Rachel was crying when she brought it up.

Astra, who stood next to her, was also crying with her mouth shut.

'Five hours.'

We must go back in five hours.

In the end, they were likely to lose their lives five hours later.

'Iker must be eager to find me.'

After the battle at the tower, he would have noticed that I had disappeared with the successors of the 7 Imperial Families.

If they returned to their original world and were discovered, he would have killed them without leaving, citing that they had helped me escape.

I didn't like it.

In the end, the answer was one.

"Hey, you..."!"

However, Eugene could not finish what he said.

After a while, all but the woman fell asleep because of my stun spell.

I closed my eyes and looked down at them who had fallen to the floor, muttering in a low voice.

"Thank you."

It was a pity that I couldn't say this when they were awake.

If I had said that, it was clear that they would stop me knowing that I would risk my own life.

So, I couldn't.

I wiped my eyes with my sleeve and asked the woman.

"Can I hear your explanation in a little while?"

The woman nodded her head.

"Then. Do that please."

Then the fallen children were moved and leaned against the wooden post to prevent their heads from bending.

I didn't use any magic.

"Should I help you?"

The woman got up from her seat and asked with a worried look, but I shook my head with a bitter smile.

"It's all right."

The voice that came out of my mouth was shaking.

"I want to do it myself."

The woman, who opened her eyes slightly wide, nodded and sat down again.

"Yes."

I leaned my fallen friends against the tree and straightened their clothes.

Just in case I forgot their faces, I tried to carefully open my eyes to each and remember them.

Trying to remember when they were talking to me with his eyes open.

"I think this is enough."

When my mind was somewhat ready, I looked back at the woman.

Sitting next to her staring at me, she had a pretty worried look on her face.

"You don't have to choose this method."

It was more subdued than her usual voice.

"I wouldn't dare to tell you... I can't ask you to die for everyone else."

I knew that she wasn't mean that way.

I could tell right away from her eyes when she first saw Yerine on a rainy day and her eyes looking at me in her dreams.

This woman cared for Yerine.

"If you don't want to die, you don't have to choose this way."

Trying to answer her, I shut up again and tried to push back the words that came up to my throat.

If I don't die, or if I don't risk dying, other people could die.

The people who loved me passionately and supported me in my daily life.

"But isn't this the only way you know?"

The words were taken out instead of words pushed deep into the stomach.

The woman's red eyes sank darkly as if she had been stabbed on the nail.

"That's right. There's only one way I know to solve this situation."

She said, staring into my left eye.

"As I said before, how to use your eyes."

"What should I do?"

She stretched out her long white finger and put it on my left eyelid.

I did not back down or flinch.

Because I know that there is no threatening intention in her touch.

"There's a lot of power in these eyes. It's so big and so huge that even I don't know anything about the eyes yet."

The woman said with a small sigh.

"It's more powerful than normal humans, and it releases a lot of mana. You know that, don't you?

I answered yes by nodding my head.

"But now even with this eye, it's hard to beat that monster. I even used magic until I had a fever in my eyes, but........"

The woman who listened to my story quietly raised her hand and put it on my head.

"Right, I think so. But there are times when these eyes show the most powerful force."

A soft hand stroked the purple hair.

"When is that?"

She answered with her hands off my hair and fingers crossed.

"When you want something to return."

"Something to return?"

"Yes."

The woman's voice echoed low.

"Instead, you have to say exactly what and how you want it to return."

I can't believe I'm turning something back.

I didn't think such great magic would actually be possible.

I knew that the world in the novel could do more than the world in my past, but I didn't know it would be this much.

"And when you want to return a particular target, you have to be in contact with it."

"Surely, it's tricky because it's a lot of magic."

"There are limitations to the original great force."

She peeked into my eyes and replied.

"That's why there's something that has always been on my mind."

"......."

She had a face that was hard to say.

Tears seemed to be flowing for a moment in the red eyes of a woman who did not express her feelings well.

"The man who messed up where you live seems to have put most of the monsters together."

The sound of the wind carried her clear voice as if the jade beads were rolling.

"The rest are not hard to remove. There aren't many, so you'll be able to organize it quickly."

"So I need to make a wish while I'm in contact with those monolithic monsters?"

The woman nodded silently.

"Those monsters have a lot of mana. But some beings have the limits of their mana."

She added, blinking her white eyelashes like snow.

"If they absorb your mana of wishes from the present state, the monster will surely couldn't hold out and disperse."

And at that moment, an idea flashed through my mind.

"If, by any chance, I wish that the mana absorbed by those monsters would be returned to their original owner......."

"That's the right answer. If that happens, even if those monsters survive, they will have no mana at all."

"Is this really possible......?"

The woman answered without hesitation.

"It's possible."

After a pause, she moistened her lips with her tongue and continued the story again.

"But you're the same one who has a limit to the mana you can hold on to."

Somehow, as soon as I looked at her sad red eyes, I realized why she said she could die.

"That's because when you make a wish, you may not be able to withstand the mana that comes from your eyes."

"That's right."

The warm wind blew gently.

The woman's veil and my purple hair fluttered softly.

I could see her left eye wrapped gently behind the veil.

"Unfortunately, I've never made such a wish, so I can't predict perfectly what's going to happen. But I'm sure the moment you make a wish, you'll have more mana than you've ever had in your life."

In the end, it was a matter of whether to hold out or not.

I clenched my teeth and clenched my fist in both hands.

I couldn't have collapsed here.

"If I don't die and survive, will there be any other side effect?"

"I don't know exactly."

The woman answered with her hands neatly on her knees.

"Maybe you'll never be able to use that eye's power again. Your spell will return to the level you were born with."

"I don't care if it's that much."

I answered with a tight grip.

"If only I could survive."

If I could not lose them.

If I can live with them again.

If I can see my lovely person again.

If I can see people who love me.

"........ yes, I understand."

The woman nodded my head softly.

"Please say your best wishes accurately. Tell that you want the mana absorbed by those monsters to return to their original owner."

"I will."

"You can say your wish and ask to return it at the end. You must say as I said before. Those eyes are more sensitive than you think, and sometimes they cause unexpected things."

"I'll be careful."

I said with a slight smile.

If I didn't do this, I couldn't stand it.

"Still, it's a shame I can't use these eyes again even if I survive."

She fiddled around my eyes with her right hand.

Then the woman narrowed her forehead and asked with a slightly surprised look.

"Sorry?"

"Yes, because of these eyes, I've been able to protect people who loved me."

I looked at her staring at me, blinking her red eyes.

"I'm grateful for these eyes."

Her eyelashes were shaking.

Breathing out and closing her eyes tightly, she opened her mouth with a trembling voice.

"Your, no, Yerine's mother treated me differently than any other human being who hurt me. She persuaded others who kill dragons that hurt people, for me."

For some reason, at this moment, I was mistaken that she was not a dragon but a human.

"So, I wanted to help her daughter who lost her eyes. I gave my eyes because it didn't work with magic."

Her bloody red eyes reappeared through the white eyelashes.

"I used to regret that choice."

A small trembling finger touched my cheek.

"Thank you very much for telling me that."

She was thinking of Yerine when she saw me.

But apparently, she knew that I and Yerine were different people.

This dragon was distinguishing me from her.

"Why me......... why are you helping me......?"

Her red shimmering eyes drew a line.

"That kid begged me to help you."

In the woods filled with the sound of the wind brushing through the leaves, her calm voice rang out.
