285 265 Name of the Seven Days

The Eco Leaflet was lying alone in a wagon shaking with Gotogoto.

Where is the carriage going? We know it's a place called the Hekato Forest, but the journey and distance are still unknown.

How long has it been since we left the town of Ahos? Two or three days? The horse keeps running without sleep.

Eco was asleep all the time on the move. I didn't have any particular drowsiness, but I didn't have anything to do with it except sleep.

I can sleep as much as I want. You can get up as much as you want. Spiritual world is such a place.

……

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

I waited for a while, but there was no sign of moving again.

--Arrived. The sensed ecology slowly exits the carriage.

It was already in the woods. What you can easily see as the road is cut off precisely where the ecology came down.

Beyond this road is the forest of Hecato - a magic where it is said that you will never be able to go back again if you step in a small way.

"Ah"

The carriage turns back.

The exit was denied. It's better than going forward.

"... hey, I don't know what this means."

The abandoned ecology temporarily stood up, looking up at huge trees dozens of times taller.

Thousands and tens of thousands of large trees of trunks as thick as a house grow, overwhelming all who see. The feeling of ecological helplessness in front of me was incredible.

Hostile monsters and humans can usually be defeated without suffering. Whether it was a giant golem, a golden dragon, or a title contestant, she was confident she could defeat it alone.

But... you can't defeat the forest.

Before nature in the Spirit realm, its magnificent scale, ecology was more than just barometric.

Well, here we go.

Restore your mind and speak to yourself towards the forest.

For Eco, the second instruction was absolute.

She likes maneuvers. In her less long life, she has not tried successfully in her own manoeuvres, but not in his own.

A hand stretched out suddenly into that irresistible situation, just every day the gear was dynamiting. It was his operation, to think of it later. But brilliantly and brilliantly, the gears began to mesh and her pedals returned to comfortable weights.

The ecology was destroyed. He was put in his mouth and became his companion, according to his operation.

After that, too. If she moves according to his plan, she will be active, she will be useful, she will feel alive and she will be happy and unbearable.

I've never known whether it feels so good to be useful to others.

So she begged him to do it and follow it. I learned that there was no mistake. That's the lesson of her life that I've learned since I met him.

"... there's something incredible going on."

Therefore, Eco didn't stop walking.

It has already been two full days (...) since she entered the forest of Hecato.

In the meantime, she kept walking.

Why didn't you stop one step?

It's easy. There's nothing in her that stops her. Because that's not what I heard. If you stop walking, you won't go down the road. That's just the reason.

Visit Hecato, the Great Spirit of Water, at the far end of the forest. That was the plan.

That's what the second said, so there's always Hecato ahead. No matter how many days it takes, you'll always see Hecato on foot. Eco doesn't doubt that.

Therefore, even after three days, and even after five days, he continued walking in the forest.

If she keeps calling her second name in her heart, she can endure it for days.

... and seven days have passed.

A frog (...) appeared in front of the ecology without a clue.

Oops?

The ecology that feels uncomfortable observes the frog while tilting its neck.

Observation maneuvers - something I learned a long time ago from the Second. In the first dungeon or hunting area, observe once or twice. Observe anything that bothers you immediately. Observe before acting. Always observe for more than five minutes. This was the iron rule for her and the iron rule for the Ranker.

Rankers who always go to the front lines of the scene will never imitate themselves until some level of tactical information within them has stabilized. Observe more deeply and extensively than anyone. To mobilize all the knowledge and experience you have gained and outperform your rivals, you must keep your eyes on the plate, observe, and invent a strategy.

Very faithful to the teachings of the second, who was the top of the rankers, Eco observed the frogs for more than five minutes and gave one answer.

This frog is an amazing frog with no freaks...

Frogs predominantly inhabit waterfront trees. This means that the water field is close. The proximity of the water field means that there is a place suitable for human life.

I don't know if the Great Spirit lives like a human, but I finally felt like the reaction from the forest came back, and the ecology was happy.

Then, as the frog jumps forward, it looks back at inviting the ecology from time to time, and gradually advances to the back of the forest.

Eco ignored it and headed for the back of the forest.

I didn't hear the word frogs or anything at the tactical meeting. I stopped for observation, but if I was dealing with any more frogs, I would stray from the plan.

Our mission is to meet Hecato the Great Spirit of Water in the deepest part of the forest. It is not to follow the frog.

"-Poor."

"Ho!?

A few minutes after ignoring the frog, the forest suddenly burst out.

As the whole forest trembles and speaks, the voice of a woman can be heard from anywhere.

"Why do you keep going through the woods?

The voice of the forest asked the ecologist.

Why did you go so far through the forest? This is seven days. In normal human senses, it's not time to be serious.

"You, hey!? I want to meet you!

But the ecology is even cheerful.

Why are you so cheerful? The voice of the forest cannot help wondering.

Go home.

The voice of the forest advised ecologists who said they wanted to see Hecato.

"No!

A vibrant eco-rejection.

…………

Silent forest voice.

And again, the ecology walks out.

--This kid is too spiritual. The voice of the forest, watching the ecology over the past seven days, had such an impression.

As far as the voice of the forest is concerned, I am not alone, such as a person who does not suspect anything, does not vomit a weak sound, does not disturb, and pushes through the forest of Hecate with a normal mind for seven days.

What makes her do that? Where does her strength come from? The voice of the forest was very concerned there.

"Is there anything you believe in?

"Yes!

"Is that you?

"No!

So it's someone else.

"That's right!

"Walking for others?"

Nnh, for Jibu

"Do you trust others for yourself?"

"That's right!

Against the walking ecology, the voice of the forest repeats the question.

However, the more I listened to the answers to the questions, the deeper the question became.

I've been walking in the woods for seven days believing in others, but it's for me… If this is true, then ecological beliefs are "following others' instructions".

The voice of the forest knew that every human being acted on his own convictions. Conversely, those who live without faith break easily.

Judging from the ecological appearance, faith was authentic.

So... even if it's for you, can you trust others and keep walking in the woods vigorously for seven days? After all, that's the question.

The voice of the forest bothered me. I noticed the abnormality.

In the past, there have been so many people who have stepped into the woods, and there are no other humans with similar toughness - the ecology can't help but worry.

"- Very well."

Suddenly, the air in the forest changed.

If you think about it, you can see the giant cliffs that flow through the springs. Eco looks up at the cliff so high that he can't see the tip, and he exclaims, "Ooh," and then slowly turns his gaze back towards his eyes. To the voice (...).

There was a big hole in it. Perhaps the entrance to the cave, the hole was reinforced by piled stones and looked like a mossy shrine. Apparently, the voice came from among them.

"Come in."

I hear voices again. And then, ecologically, it felt like a rolling bell.

And I'm sure. The Lord of Voices must be Hecato. Because Raspberry Bell told me Hecato was a female spirit.

The forest ends on a cliff. If there is a cave there, the farthest (...) should be there. Eco decides it's a tactical street and enters the cave bravely.

"See?

There was a lot of talking to myself.

It worked, didn't it? The word to yourself.

In the last seven days, for a few minutes, for a few seconds, I doubted my second.

"... after all, you and I are very similar. It doesn't seem like a coincidence."

Behind the cave stands a woman in a milky white dress. She looked at the ecology and murmured as if she had felt something.

The shape of the body is like a slender model, but the breasts and buttocks insist heavily on the beauty of their appearance, even if it is a homosexual ecology. The dress is a thin body line, with a large gold necklace shining on the neck.

But... strangely, she was wearing a bucket (...) for some reason.

A woman with a beautiful body who cannot see her face at all. It was, in short, "weird."

"Hello! A strange one?

"... hello. He's hiding his face."

The bucket woman replied, gently touching the bucket, returning the greeting after a moment of silence.

"I thought you were going to?

"Yes"

I knew it!

Eco banged and rejoiced, and came closer to Hecato.

"Wait. I have one question for you."

Hekato, who controlled the ecology by hand, opened his mouth with a bucket and kept his face hidden.

"How can you believe him from the bottom of your heart? Don't you think they'll betray you? You don't trust yourself?

"Not one at all."

"... I'm sorry, can I have three?"

Fine.

Three questions from Hecato.

Eco starts talking in about five seconds after taking the pose of thinking "Hmm".

"Sekando, you're stroking so hard. If you don't envy me, I'm done. Sometimes I stroke it."

"... that's it?

"Giggle!

It was a very concise answer.

But it was no longer an expression of ecological feelings.

"... he's not forever. It's not perfect. The time has come to be betrayed. Can you stand it?

Dependent. Hecato could only say that. Therefore, I asked this question.

If ecology and Hecato are the dominant relationships, that's what makes Hecato anxious. The stronger the dependency, the greater the damage when lost. If he had been subordinate at that time, he would have fallen to the same place.

"Yo Nail....."

Behind such Hekato's concerns, Eco stared at Hekato with a jito's eyes.

"... I'm sorry, this is the last time."

Fine.

And I still mouth with my cheerful face.

"There are a lot of things you can't do one day, and you can't. I'm doing it."

Bye.

"I can resist. It's hard to beat."

"... good at"

And, Kafuku, it's a little too much.

Eco chested proudly.

Both endurance and healing are the stunts found by the second.

Hecato finally reinforces his view of dependence as to whether he is involved in the affirmative part of self.

"If there were many things wrong with him, he would not have been betrayed. I've thought it's not enough just to keep believing in the darkness."

"I don't think so. I don't have it. But if that happens...."

Eco kept saying that he categorically denied Hecato's question.

"Sekando, it's going to be good, and it's going to be good soon."

…………

--Can you trust others with this straight feeling?

Hecato was quietly shocked.

Even the hypothesis that he would betray her was her assumption that would solve it.

Even fanatics who are intoxicated by God know more about doubt.

What kind of man does he make her look like?

What kind of woman does she make him do that?

"... tell me your name."

The twitching and swelling interest in the hecat finally surpassed my concern.

"Eko Rifu!

Be healthy and say your name.

"Eco leaflet"

Hecato murmured to bite the name and slowly took one step closer to the ecology.

Then extend your right hand forward and point your fingertips toward the eco heart.

"Eco. Now, imitate it."

"Yeah."

Eco also extended his right hand to the position of Hecato's heart.

"Introduce yourself. I am Hecato, the great spirit of water. Before I became a spirit, I was a dead spirit. And before you become a ghost..."

At the same time, they touch each other.

Shortly afterwards, the ecological consciousness dimmed....

... instantly, I understood everything.

Until Hecat lived, died, wandered, and became a spirit.

When I touched the source of life, I could peek inside the person - yes, I could peek into Hecato's memory with the clarity that ecology itself had experienced.

Eco was therefore convinced. "You and I are alike," she said.

There was a clear reason. That was a good reason.

The beginning dates back to when Hecato was a girl student.
