Chapter 65 Silver Clock
Seraph carrying Yuki's body into the infirmary. Seraph walked into the infirmary, which was a clean white room. There were many white beds arranged in an orderly manner. Curtains were placed around the beds to prevent people from seeing into them.
Seraph walked in and saw that there were many curtains blocking the view of the rectangular shape. All the beds were closed, as if to say that all the beds were full.
Seraph saw that all the beds were full, so he walked to a chair, which was a large, comfortable, black cushion. It was like a guest's gift.
Seraph walked to search the row of beds to find a bed that might be empty. [Sigh, where did the doctor go? The patient came to see him but he's not here. He failed the medical exam. I hope I don't have to start treating him. All the curtains on each bed were closed. Or is he treating him?] "There's a patient. Can someone help me?" Seraph spoke softly to prevent his voice from disturbing others.
But the only response was the sound of the wind blowing in. There was no sign of life.
Seraph stopped in front of the bed with the curtain covering it. [Tch, let me open it and take a look. If I peek, it will be misunderstood as peek. Then, it means that I thought there was an empty bed with just the curtain covering it. Like this, if I open it and don't find anything, that's good. But if I don't, then the doctor must be the one who abandoned the patient and used invisibility.]
Seraph prepared himself and reached out his right hand to open one of the curtains. His right hand grabbed the blue curtain and opened it.
Seraph used his own eyes to stare inside. His extremely cold face exploded inside. BAM!
Seraph's heartbeat was loud.
THUMP!
TUMP!
TUMP!
The image reflected a person sitting on the bed, a familiar face.
Seraph knew the person in front of him. [Is this person alive!? ]
At the bedside, an old woman in a black robe was smiling at Seraph and applauding him. "Excellent, excellent. A genius planner wouldn't be enough for you. It's been a long time, Seraph." The person in front of Seraph was Camilla, the old woman who was swallowed up by the magic lamp.
Seraph maintained a calm expression. "Isn't the lady dead yet? I remember being swallowed up by that magic item." [What happened? Escaping danger and meeting danger again. Life is so unpredictable!?]
Seraph examined the figure of the old woman who seemed to be only slightly older.
Camilla nodded. "Thank you, I know the meaning of time." Camilla smiled gently.
Seraph looked around to see what was in the curtains.
Camilla called Seraph to sit near the bedside, waving with her right hand to beckon him to sit.
Seraph walked over and sat down beside Camilla
"What's wrong? „ [Like this, we have to stall for time for others to come here. At least one person will show up. I guess I have to sit and listen to people tell their own history.]
"Want to know, right? Where did I go after being swallowed by the lamp? „
"Of course. „ [Even though I don't want to know, but what I know for sure is that something definitely happened. My experience living alone tells me this. Something has changed this person.]
"I traveled back in time to the past sixty years ago. Since I was a child, I really liked a certain person. He was a very charming person. But that was the only time I felt that way. Later, I trained to chase after that person, but I failed. While I was training hard, that person advanced so fast that I couldn't keep up with his development speed. And then that man distanced himself from me. Do you know before he left? What did he say? „
"I don't know. „
Camila nodded. "Yes, the answer is the same as yours. I don't know. „
Camila took out something and held it. It was like a white clock whose hands stopped moving. It was silver with black ancient numbers. The three hands of the clock
"Why do people have to leave? Why do people have to meet? Why does time exist? Why do living things die when time reaches its limit? Why does the physical body begin to deteriorate? Why doesn't time stop? This was his question. Tell me. One day, someone will tell me the answer. That person said this because I couldn't find the right answer. „
Camila stared at the clock in front of her. "And so I went back in time to the time when that person was traveling. I saw that that person had his own father. His appearance was very similar. I, who had gone back in time, asked his father for the answer instead. The father told me his name and said that he didn't know. So I knew immediately that this man gave me a strange feeling. The father called his son to listen to the answer. Now I have one thing I want to ask is to go back in time to answer that person's question. After researching to prolong my own life, I understand the answer. The answer is that everything is irrational, nothing is right. There is only the word "choice". Time will pass, nothing can stop it. While breathing, time moves all the time. What do you think is the reason why humans waste time? For their own needs. "Demand. If you don't want to regret it later, start running now. If you start running, it means that breaking may be difficult, but it doesn't mean that breaking is bad. The more you do what you want from your own greed, the time you waste will not be wasted. Humans are like this. Saying goodbye will make you sad. Meeting will make you happy. If time stops, it means that everything will stop. No one doesn't regret choosing, but you have to walk. The meaning of time is that there is no time waiting for us. There is only time walking ahead. This is my meaning of time. Do what you want to do. " [After talking this long, I hope I can delay time. People have their own lives. No one wants to care about helping others. There is only themselves to rely on. Those who walk alone are those who don't have to rely on others. The reason why humans can move forward is to abandon everything to pursue what they want. It is more proud than abandoning your own dreams for others. The winners take everything and the losers lose everything. In this world, the strong are the ones in control. Or did Camila ask for a time travel from the lamp? Just to give this answer?]
Camila handed Seraph a silver watch. "Here, I want to give you this. The journey that passed may have been a waste of time, but I am very proud. My time will soon run out. So I leave this to you. Do whatever you want with it. I hope your journey will be fun. "
Camila handed the silver watch to Seraph's hand.
Seraph took it while Camila's hand used one of her hands to hug Seraph's hand.
The reflection of an old woman who was ready to leave the world with satisfaction and nothing left in her mind.
Camila's body disappeared as if she had been teleported. Whoosh!
Seraph sat looking at the silver watch. [Or is this a thank you for helping to make my wish come true? But I haven't done anything yet. Well, it seems like he's quite pleased.]
Camila disappeared and entered a timeline with a black-legged watch floating around. "This is heaven, not hell." Camila started walking in the timeline
