I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

175

In the centre of the library, where red books were scattered, Elahah slowly opened his eyes that had been closed while floating in the air. Elohim, who was sitting next to him and reading the red book, quickly noticed that Elahah had paused his recording and opened his mouth.

"What do you think?"

"It's okay now."

Elahah, who answered in a drowsy voice, looked at the open book floating in front of him. The book, which hadn't yet to be coloured, was half filled with open pages.

"I don't know the end yet."

"Cheon Sa-yeon, what about that child?"

"He's got some anticipation, just like us... It's the first time he's gone through this kind of thing, he looks anxious."

"Um..."

"El."

Elahah hesitated, then he cautiously opened his mouth.

"If the end of this clash is dangerous..."

"Then we must find a way to overcome it. Even at any cost."

Elohim answered firmly, closed the book he was looking at, and got up.

"Don't worry too much and keep watching. I will go see Se-hyun."

"...alright."

Elahah sighed as if he had no choice but to close his eyes again. At the same time, the page began to write on its own.

Elohim looked at him for a moment, then turned his back.

Piii.

"Um?"

As soon as the heavy library door opened, something soft tapped his ankle. One of the white children looked up at him and wept bitterly.

"Oh, my. What's happen?"

When asked affectionately, this time he bit the hem of his trousers with his teeth and pulled it with a whimper. For a moment, Elohim was puzzled by an action he had never seen before, but soon understood his intention and stretched out his hand.

"Yeah. Let's go see him, Fox."

Elohim, who was holding the child with the name Kwon Se-hyun gave, made a hasty step toward the first room of the temple.

Squeak, a dark room was revealed through the crack in the open door. He could see Han Yi-gyeol panting as he crouched slightly on the large bed.

"Se-hyun-ah."

Elohim took one step closer to the bedside and touched Han Yi-gyeol's cold sweaty forehead with a soft hand. Fox, who had escaped from his arms and came down onto the bed, also rattled its tail and let out a small cry.

"Huu... gasp..."

As long as Han Yi-gyeol was still wandering in his dream, he couldn't hear Elohim's call and twisted his body with a frown on his forehead. Beneath his disheveled hair, cold sweat exposed pale cheeks and nape of the neck.

Elohim gazed sadly at Han Yi-gyeol, who was gasping, crushed by the painful dream, but didn't wake him up.

The dream that came with the power of candy couldn't be ended prematurely, no matter how hard it was. If he forced himself to wake him up because he was worried, he could have mental problems.

Elohim continued to caress Han Yi-gyeol's face as if cheering him on and silently stayed by his side. There was a thick shadow fell on him as he stood with his back to the light leaking through the half-open door.
