Antgram Paladins

the urge to dare

Detracting from the initial plan, they should immediately return to the headquarters when completing that special task.

But due to the carelessness committed by Da vinci, it makes her unable to walk, and she also cannot ask Sheilla to carry her.

So they decided to stay in the village they saved just now.

"Sorry, for having made you prepare a room for us"

"It doesn't matter, after all you've saved the village, it would look bad for us if we treated our rescuers badly"

Said the woman with a friendly smile, and Sheilla could only smile wryly here.

"Enjoy your time"

"oh-oh ... Thank you very much"

Sheilla said with her head lowered, and the woman smiled and walked away, after which, Sheilla noticed around where there was no one.

Then he went inside and closed the door.

Walk slowly towards Da vinci who was soundly asleep, although his body was filled with bandages and his right hand could not be used for a while because of a broken bone.

Sheilla slowly sat down while staring at Da vinci, more precisely her staring at her sleeping face.

After which, he hummed while moving his body left and right out of boredom.

(I should bring a book or two if I know this is going to happen)

Afterwards, sighing in disappointment, Sheilla carried her body to the thin bed, and allowed herself to lie there.

As he lay staring at the roof, he turned his gaze to the side where he looked at Da vinci's face once more.

(17 Years old? That means I'm a woman now, right?)

His heart was racing, gulping as he stared at Da vinci's lips.

With a reddened face, she brought her body closer and hugged Da vinci.

(Because it's a little cold .. so this doesn't matter?)

Carrying an excuse by letting the blanket not have its role here, then she closed her eyes and she fell asleep immediately.

When she opened her eyes, she found a roof she was unfamiliar with, noticed the surroundings and did not find Sheilla's whereabouts.

Then he began to wake up and found his body filled with bandages, and he noticed that his hands were also filled with thick bandages.

(Wounds as usual?)

And when she realized her, there was a shirt with a message on top of her, she took it with her left hand and opened it.

"I'm in the kitchen? What a short message"

He put the paper on the floor and took the clothes.

After putting on her clothes, she walked out, staring at the area where the children were playing chase.

(The kitchen .... where?)

He found another room that was right next to the room, this was a large house with a room that split apart like a house.

And there's a small space on the ground to walk to the other room.

So he just decided to walk here, just walking without direction following the route set on the ground.

He continued walking when he finally heard Sheilla's voice talking, stopping his steps in front of the room.

When she tried to open that door, it was a magic sejarah not open, she pushed her stronger but still not open.

Until he finally realized that it was not a push door, but a sliding door.

"Aah"

After realizing that, he shifted that door and his door opened, giving a slight sense of happiness to himself for succeeding.

She finds Sheilla happily chatting with a girl who looks the same age as Sheilla, looking at Sheilla with a plain apron with hair that she accents and bangs she is neat right so as not to disturb the vision.

Realizing Da vinci's arrival, Sheilla twisted her body and gazed towards Da vinci and began to smile.

"Well ... you're finally up, but baby, you need to wait a little while until it's cooked, just sit on the floor"

Sheilla said by arranging like she owns this house, making Da vinci a little awkward about it.

Then realize if the girl next to him looks worried about something.

"Umm .. isn't he still injured, is it okay to make his move like this?"

The girl whispered something to Sheilla and Sheilla just chuckled.

"No problem, he won't die just because of that, after all if it's about the wound then it's used to him"

The girl only smiled wryly when she heard that from Sheilla.

When they finished cooking, and Sheilla brought the soup in the pot to the dinner table, on the other hand, the girl stared with glassy eyes.

"It's amazing, I'm amazed you can cook it so well"

"If you're used to cooking, that's not a problem"

It was a stew with vegetables and mushrooms in it, then she also cooked a red soup made from tomatoes and toast.

Lured with that smell, a man came up with his gardening clothes.

"That's a nice scent, Lily, bring your mentee here"

Say the man where Lily started standing saying "good" and she walked out of the room.

"Sorry, for making you cook for us"

"It doesn't matter .. You guys have bothered thanks to us"

Sheilla took off her apron, put it on her desk and she sat down next to Da vinci, as well as the two children who played chase came because of the fragrant aroma of cooking.

"It looks delicious~~"

Saying man-or you can call him "gus" hearing that, makes the two kids say "good" and start running towards where they're going to clean their hands.

Then Lily came with a grandmother who was at her age, held her hand and walked slowly following the grandmother's speed.

Seeing that made Sheilla remember a little about someone.

Bringing the grandmother to her seat, Lily rushed to her seat where the other children finished washing their hands and began to sit in their seats.

"Well .. let's say a prayer for the great god"

They all clenched their hands, except for Da vinci and Sheilla.

Da vinci has his own god but he does not care about it, on the other hand Sheilla from the beginning even decided not to have a god at all because of the influence of Kareth's memory.

But she respected them, smiling and closing her eyes when the family was nudging her.

"Well .. when we eat this"

After they prayed, they began to take their bread, tore it and carried it to their mouths.

While doing so, Sheilla realizes that Da vinci is in trouble, her right hand has a broken bone so she can only use her left hand here.

And the left hand was not her forte, when she was in distress, she heard Sheilla saying "this, say aaaaa"

Turning his gaze aside and finding Sheilla with a spoon filled with tomato soup, made Da vinci blush.

Swallow her saliva, and she lets herself be consumed by the temptation, opens her mouth and lets Sheilla feed her.

(Sickness is best)

Seeing that, giving a different response from the family, the two children looked at it with glassy eyes, and gus just smiled kindly, and, on the other hand Lily saw that with a reddened face.

"That's delicious?"

"It's so son"

"You're a very compatible couple"

Gus said with his friendly smile, hearing that made Da vinci jerk in surprise and Sheilla smiled mockingly when she saw the reaction given by Da vinci.

"Truely .... tomorrow night, the village will do the old tradition, where we will dance with each other, how? You can come and dance there"

Hearing that made Da vinci thump, gulp his saliva with a flushed face, then he peeked towards Sheilla.

Finding Sheilla thinking at the moment, she expected a slightly different reaction from Sheilla, but it seemed pointless.

Then Sheilla smiled saying "sorry, but as you can see, this guy is dying, so to dance with each other seems like it's going to be a little difficult"

Hearing that made them speechless, as did Da vinci, whom she was a little-no, she was expecting to dance with Sheilla.

He wanted to hit himself in the past who said that being sick was an amazing thing.

Then Gus only smiled awkwardly when he heard Sheillla's reply.

"So yeah .. sorry for not paying attention to that"

Then, they continued breakfast with another little friendly talk.

***

Time passed and night had come, and now in their room, Da vinci and Sheilla were laying their bodies on the thin bed.

Letting them stay awake for a bit longer by chatting a few topics.

"They're a good family huh"

"Right ... is too good until it's unfortunate because they live on an antegram"

"... rather than that, we'll be home the next morning"

"Hey, as long as I'm always curious.... when all this is over, we'll return to our original dimensions, but what about the inhabitants who settled in the antegram? They were born and live here"

"That's ... "

As long as the antegram was completed, and all existing players would return to their world, but to the inhabitants, if they were also followed to the original world of their ancestors.

They will have difficulty surviving, there is no place for them in the world, they are just lonely there.

Sheilla turned her body towards the wall, and began to close her eyes.

Praying for the best tomorrow.

november 19, 713, antegram calendar - day of tradition

"uh? Seriously? You guys still haven't been in a relationship?"

Gus said with a face of disbelief with what happened, they were so friendly but they were not lovers?

It was enough to make him surprised, at this time they were in Gus' private garden, he was planting some vegetables for everyday life and the rest he would sell them to the city.

"Well .. I was too scared to propose"

"U-uh .. but from what I've seen, he seems to like you too, you guys still haven't made any progress because of you!, as men, you should have declared it first"

Said proudly and Da vinci was slightly stunned in embarrassment when he heard that.

"Yes ... "

Da vinci muttered awkwardly, realizing it was Gus, fell silent and began to stare at the sky.

"There's a time in life, when that time is running out, in this antegram, death is common, I hear you get hurt a lot? Have you ever thought about how she felt when she saw you come back hurt?'

Hearing that made Da vinci flinch, and turned her gaze down, even though she never thought about it.

"Tonight is the night of tradition, everyone will gather in the village square, from your condition it seems you will not be able to be there, so stay with him at home, stay with him, when the time is going to be fireworks, you know? Fireworks? It exploded beautifully in the night sky, when then, try to express your feelings"

Gus walked forward towards Da vinci and patted her on the shoulder twice while saying "remember, opportunity doesn't come with its own, you're the one who made that opportunity"

Then she walked away acting cool, touched by his words, she began to respect Gus and lowered her head.

"Sir gus! I'll follow you for as long as I can!"

"Oh!! Make me feel proud of the progress of your relationship"
