Rena Ruber’s Abyss

Lynn swallowed Rena’s blood and wounded his own hand.

 

He then made Rena drink his blood.

 

Lynn closed his eyes after confirming that his blood flowed through Rena’s lips.

 

And when he opened his eyes again, he was in an unfamiliar darkness.

 

‘Did I come in properly?’

 

Lynn looked around him in a strange mood.

 

At first he thought he was just in the dark, but as his eyes got used to it, the surroundings looked slightly different.

 

This was an indoor, dark, night-like room.

 

‘Is this the form of human consciousness?’

 

In fact, it was the first time for Lynn too. Invading someone’s consciousness using the power of the Eastern Duke.

 

So he was at a loss in many ways, but now he didn’t even have time to hesitate.

 

“Rena!”

 

Lynn exclaimed at once.

 

“Rena! Are you here?”

 

He didn’t know what was going to happen, so he had to wake Rena up as soon as possible.

 

“Rena!!”

 

When he raised his voice to call Rena.

 

Something fell over Lynn.

 

Lynn sensed its presence and reflexively avoided it, but it followed Lynn’s movement determinedly and swung a thin blade at Lynn.

 

‘A sword?’

 

It was someone with a sword.

 

This someone appeared from the darkness and swung their sword and pushed Lynn.

 

Lynn, who managed to avoid it, reached out to his own waist. He had no sword with him, but he could just make it appear. Lynn thought so and swung his arm, then a sword came into his hand.

 

Kaang! Lynn hit the person who rushed in. However, the unidentified person did not bounce off and came back fiercely with the sword. Kang! Kang! Kang! The swords clashed several times without even having time to catch one’s breath.

 

‘Strong.’

 

Lynn, who was rarely pushed back, became nervous. From there, he leapt once more quickly.

 

Kaang! He managed to stop it, but the shock was so strong that his bones trembled.

 

When Lynn was about to hit again…

 

“Lynn?”

 

The unidentified person muttered in a doubtful voice. Lynn opened his eyes in surprise, and they asked again.

 

“Are you really Lynn?”

 

“You…”

 

When Lynn was stunned, the assailant removed the mask from their face. At the same time, the room, which was as dark as night, became as bright as dawn.

 

Lynn’s eyes widened over the freshly revealed face.

 

“Rena?”

 

The assailant had Rena’s face. But it wasn’t Rena. No, at least it didn’t seem like the current Rena.

 

This Rena was shorter than the real Rena and had shorter hair. And her eyes were fierce.

 

The suspicious Rena looked at her Lynn and murmured.

 

“I thought it was a snake because your eyes are red.”

 

When Lynn heard that, he realized that his eyes were now red.

 

Lynn, whose eyes turned red like a rabbit as a manifestation of his power, looked at Rena in a confused mood.

 

The person whose appearance resembles Rena had a different way of speaking and behavior than the usual Rena.

 

Young Rena suddenly reached out and grabbed Lynn’s chin. Then she said, looking back and forth at his face.

 

“It’s really true. What happened? Why are you here? Is this the power of the East?”

 

“I’m here to wake you up.”

 

Lynn was stunned, but answered. Then he asked again.

 

“Are you Rena?”

 

“No. Ah, what do you call this… If someone asks your right hand, ‘Are you Lynn?’ What would you say?”

 

“I…”

 

“It’s hard to answer, right? It’s something like that.”

 

Rena said so and threw the sword she was still holding into the air. Then the sword did not fall on the floor and simply disappeared.

 

“I am Rena Ruber, but I am not the one you came to pick up. I’m separated from the main consciousness. I’d have to say, I’m like Rena Ruber’s self-protection instinct.”

 

Instinct Rena’s explanation barely convinced Lynn. He thought she was too spicy for Rena, but then he thought that this Rena might look like this because she was part of self-protection.

 

Fortunately, young Lena didn’t attack Lynn further. But that didn’t mean that the boundaries were completely lifted.

 

“If you came to wake me up, does that mean you’re here to help?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“It’s a good thing we formed an alliance.”

 

Short-haired Rena responded coldly to Lynn’s affirmation. Lynn was bewildered, but he nodded softly as he recalled her words that this was not Rena’s main consciousness.

 

“Where is the real Rena?”

 

“I don’t know either.”

 

“You don’t know?”

 

“Hiems Gracia flew her somewhere.”

 

Ferocious-eyed Rena said so and looked back. Lynn followed and looked in the direction she was looking.

 

Because the outside of the window was bright, the shape of the room was clearly visible than before.

 

This was the room for a noble lady to stay. Carpeted, with a wardrobe, with armchairs under pretty curtains.

 

And then there were two doors. Rena was looking at the doors.

 

“Those doors…”

 

“One side is Rena Ruber’s memory, and the other side is Rena Ruber’s heart. She’s there somewhere.”

 

Lynn moved his body straight after hearing that Rena was over there. However, he was stopped by Rena, who was wearing black clothes, before he could take a single step.

 

“Where are you going?”

 

“I have to find Rena.”

 

“No. You can’t go in there.”

 

Rena’s guardian, Rena, adamantly rejected Lynn. So Lynn stopped walking and asked.

 

“Why?”

 

“Because it is directly related to the dignity of the human being called Rena Ruber. It’s an area that’s hard to allow even friends or lovers, not to mention a mere ally.”

 

At Rena’s indifferent refusal, Lynn was a bit perplexed.

 

Rather than simply saying that he couldn’t go inside, the word  “alliance” was deeply ingrained in her heart. Although he wasn’t a lover, he thought he was at least a friend, but he was still shooed away by the instinct.

 

It was quite a blow to him, but Lynn still asked.

 

“Then, is there another way?”

 

“You can call her from the outside. However, in order for that method to work, Rena Ruber must be near the door.”

 

“What if she’s far away?”

 

“Then you have to wait until she comes closer. Keep calling.”

 

As Rena said so, she looked up to Lynn, then added in a brazen tone.

 

“I’m sorry for being picky even though you have the intention to help, but I can’t help it. It’s better to stretch out for a few days than to put someone in there.”

 

“…A few days?”

 

“Rena Ruber’s consciousness will not stay in one place. Time flows faster here than outside, so you should be able to meet the main consciousness in a few days.”

 

“I can’t do that.”

 

“I’ll pay you back several times.”

 

“No, that’s not it, We don’t have time. If you don’t wake up by tomorrow evening, the emperor will kill you.”

 

“What?”

 

Rena’s eyes suddenly widened.

 

Rena’s self-protection instinct reacted seriously to the story, and Lynn pressed more while at it.

“The emperor was outraged that the Doom Palace had collapsed. She put the blame on the South, and we barely bought time, so if you can’t wake up by tomorrow, it’ll be over.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Really. So I don’t have time to wait.”

 

“Ikh…”

 

At Lynn’s persuasion, the girl Rena frowned.

 

Seeing that scene, Lynn understood inwardly why he couldn’t go inside.

 

Rena, whom Lynn knew, and Rena, who was in front of him now, were clearly different.

 

Rena Ruber, whom he usually knew, was kind, polite, well-educated, and bold when needed, the ideal person.

 

This little Rena, on the other hand, had a fierce temper, with a rough tone, and was calculating. As a self-protection instinct, those aspects must have been emphasized, but even considering that, Lynn wondered if the real Rena had this side.

 

Perhaps Rena didn’t want to show her bare face to others.

 

He knew that. And he knew that he might be hated, but Lynn didn’t step down.

 

“Let me in.”

 

“But you…”

 

“Fiance.”

 

“What?”

 

At Lynn’s words, Rena’s eyes widened. She had ferocious eyes, but when she opened her eyes like that, she was just like the usual Rena.

 

“I’m not just an ally, I’m your fiancé.”

 

Rena looked at Lynn with surprised eyes at the unexpected claim. Then she soon frowned and blushed.

 

Lynn was surprised at the same time when Rena’s cold face turned red.
