I Am No King's

Chapter 52 – Night Farewell PT 2

PoV Lacuna

　

"In the midst of this drifting universe, somewhere, yonder. If there's a planet that can pass the prayer, would we head towards there? What would we pray for?"

　

Unconsciously, I was already humming softly, giving an ambiguous answer. This song was my favorite song. For now, I don't know, I feel like this is still my favorite song, but I rarely listen to it anymore.

　

But.. ah. my answer is stupid. I am so ashamed. Lugalgin would've laughed at me. This is the first time I have given an answer like this. Apparently, I've gotten more sentiments. In fact, if in front of others, my cruel and cold figure is still intact. For some reason, I became a sentiment in front of this man.

　

However, unexpectedly, Lugalgin did not laugh at me. What he did next made me turn my eyes.

　

"Unfulfilled promises, noble light we sacred. Even though there's nothing left anymore, right now, I can only move forward to path I trust."

　

Wait, what?

　

"You, how do you know that song, Gin?"

　

Lugalgin gave her sly smile. "I thought so."

　

"Huh?"

　

"Aren't you aware that you sometimes cradle that song in the shower?"

　

Huh huh? That right? No way! I can't believe it!

　

"You're just buzzing, but at least, from there I can search the tone on the internet. And, I got that song."

　

No. I don't want to hear it. This really embarrassed me. Without me noticing, I had already immersed myself in the blanket, trying to remove Lugalgin from sight.

　

"Flowers of hope. Now, an entwined bond is already right here, deep in our heart. And, it will come a power to live that shall not wither."

　

"No! Stopit! I'm ashamed..."

　

I reflexively threw the pillow towards Lugalgin.

　

Lugalgin didn't dodge or catch the pillow I threw. In fact, with his reflexes, he could have easily caught or avoided it. However, he let the pillow hit his body.

　

"So, are you saying that you're looking for a place where your wish can come true?"

　

I stopped when I heard Lugalgin's words. At that moment, all the shame that had appeared suddenly disappeared, pulling me back to reality.

　

Right, the moment I spent with Lugalgin right now is not a reality. Yeah, I mean, it's really happening, but, it's not a decent life for someone like me. After everything that happened, I could only continue walking, continuing my search.

　

When I fell silent, Lugalgin continued the song.

　

"Flowers of hope. This entwined bond will become our power and it will make tomorrow grow and blossom in full glory. No more place to turn back. Gos! Towards a place we must reach. Hoist highly our no-hesitation-flag. We'll continue living the present." Lugalgin was silent for a moment. "I'll stop here."

　

I threw a glance at Lugalgin. A smile was plastered wide on his face. Although she smiled, but I did not feel happiness from her. All I felt from Lugalgin's smile was sadness and loneliness.

　

Lugalgin got out of bed and started wearing clothes.

　

"I won't question your past and your motives any further. I also realize there are many things that only we ourselves can understand, not others."

　

Yes, Lugalgin's speech is correct. There are many things that no one else can understand. People who say 'I understand how you feel' don't really understand. They just pretend to understand. In fact, even if they experience the same thing, the circumstances and background are not the same. Therefore, they will never understand.

　

"However, if one day you are tired and want to stop the search, know that I am still here. You are my teacher and I am your student. I'll always give you a place back."

　

　

Ah, I'm really embarrassing. How can an old woman like me be calmed down by children. Oops, he's not a kid anymore.

　

"Haha, give me a place? Though there hasn't been a week since we exchanged attacks."

　

Half a glass turned the head. "I've made a place to go home for those kids and even protected them from the strongest Mercenary in Bana'an. Don't you think I can do the same for you, Lacuna?"

　

Without waiting for permission from the brain, my face had already relaxed and developed a smile.

　

I got up from the bed and walked towards Lugalgin, hugging her from behind.

　

"What makes you rush? This is our last night together. Don't you want to spend more time?"

　

***

　

It had been a few months since that moment, but somehow, every time I remembered it, a smile spread by itself on this face.

　

Lugalgin, without you, it's hard for me to live. No one cleaned my apartment anymore. I can't possibly hire a cleaning service. I don't want to risk the cleaning service that comes in is a hit man on a mission to take my head.

　

And, because in the last few years I have had Lugalgin, Ukin, and Mulisu, I have forgotten how much it is to work alone. I have to gather information, launch attacks, negotiate, and everything myself. I forgot how hard it is to live alone as a mercenary.

　

After Bana'an, this is the third country I visited. I just got a call last week, saying there's a job that needs a touch of my hand. No. gabe. Need a touch of my hand may be a bit imprecise.

　

The connection that gave this job was someone I knew well. He said he wouldn't give this job to another mercenary besides me. Wh why? Because I know well who the target of this cleanup is.

　

"Wait for me, mom. I'll see you soon."

\============================================================

　

　

This chapter was uploaded Monday night.

　

As always, thank you for all the support, likes and comments of his supporters.

　

Chapters 51 and 52 are uploaded together because they are actually 1 chapter. So, if it's cut off it doesn't taste very good. Wkwkwkwk. In this arc 4, we will retreat a few years before Lugalgin meets the Emir. Actually Arc 4 is a spinoff used to give a little picture of the past and future of Lugalgin.

　

For those of you who are otaku, you may know the lyrics of songs sung by Lugalgin and Lacuna. The song was the ending of Gundam Iron Blooded Orphan performed by Uru, titled Freesia.

　

Back, the author wants to thank the likes, comments, and support of the readers. All of this support means a lot to Author. For those who want to see the illustration, can check in ig @renigad.sp.author

　

And, as always, the author wants to do the endorsement. Currently, the illustrator whose image is used as a cover is a pixiv, ⁇ or QYS3 illustrator. So, before, the author just took a walk in pixiv, looking for original content, trus pm artistnya. Because it is not the result of a commission, but public content, the author also does not spend money.

　

So, the promotion at the end is something that the author does voluntarily because the artist has allowed the author to use the image even though it has actually become public content. So, readers can open the pixiv page and like gallery in https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=7210261 or follow his twitter in https://twitter.com/QYSThree. Both can also.

　

In addition to QYS3, the author has also obtained an eye souvenir from pokarii that can be posted at the end of the story. Once again, thank you to all the readers who have liked and commented. Your support means a lot to the author.
