I could feel the fluctuating feelings of the constellations in the Star Coffee House .  In particular, I was touched the most by Prometheus' emotions .  The cold sadness p.r.i.c.ked my heart like an awl .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' says that 'Remus' will die . ]

[I know . However, you should know . If we don't stop him here . . . ]

Romelana couldn't continue her words .  Kim Sujeong, Gyeonso Dragon, and I also closed our eyes tightly .  The conclusion of the upcoming tragedy rushed like an avalanche .  We wished there was some hope but it wasn't like ice cream that could be taken out at any time .  Kim Sujeong blinked and asked, “Is there really no way?”

“Really, really . . . ”

Prometheus, Raitra, and her constellation, Camille, remained silent .  Sometimes silence was an unspoken affirmation . In that cruel silence, Kim Sujeong cried .  “This is too tragic . This . . . ”

I seemed to know why her heavenly star was Monarch of Desperate Hope .  She was desperately hoping even in this situation .  She hoped that this upcoming tragedy was a comedy that could be laughed at .  Yet sometimes, you have to overcome all of that and move forward .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is giving you the apostle buff . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is lending strength to you with red eyes . ]

Prometheus, Raitra . . .

Sun and lightning dwelled in my legs .  Rising Sun was blazing brilliantly toward the end of this tragedy .  They were hoping that I would end this tragedy .

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is lending her fireflies . ]

Camille's fireflies wrapped around my body .

[The wolf star, 'Romelana,' is sharing the power of the midnight sun with you . ]

Romelana's midnight sun field exploded around her body .  All that was left was a choice .  I saw Kim Sujeong's face .  She was tearfully shaking her head .  She had made her own choice .  She was like the apostle of justice who shouted that even if she was in danger, she couldn't kill anyone .

I remembered Prometheus' words to me when I left the Star Coffee House .  'Old man, you are no longer the selected one . Now you have to choose . I hope you'll make the best choice . '

I see . This was the best option for me .  Yes, if this was the best . . .

I left her behind and jumped toward Romelana's huge back .  The moment Romelana released the power of the midnight sun, my entire body felt like it was about to tear apart .  A huge overload was going through my body but I had to endure it .

[The midnight sun has wrapped around your body . ]

[Your current level is too low . ]

[It is an unbearable strength . A duration of two minutes will be given . ]

[After using this power, you won't be able to move your body for two days . ]

It was a message that seemed scary but I didn't mind .  It was virtual reality anyway .  However, my red eyes that I was unaware of told me that this was reality .  I opened my mouth, “It is only two minutes . This is the time that I can use this power, Romelana . ” 

[I understand . ]

At the same time, Romelana ran .  The black night wolves that had become bigger due to Pandora's power rushed at me but it was fine .  Now I had this . . .

[The constellation skill: Firefly Concerto has been triggered . ]

[Maintains a 5% health recovery per second . ]

[Protective s.h.i.+elds will cover 100 meters around you . ]

“Yip! Yip!”

The black night wolves couldn't penetrate the s.h.i.+eld and fell apart .  We faced Remus who swung his claws .  However, I wasn't going to stand still .  “Lightning Dragon Angle . ”

I didn't just have Camille's power .  Raitra's blue lightning around my legs paralyzed his body .  In the gap, Romelana clawed at Remus' chest .

Remus screamed, [Kuweeeeeoh!]

The ensuing attacks were more devastating than I expected .  I continued to emit lightning while Romelana attacked the paralyzed Remus .  It was just that I was gradually losing strength .  Then a voice could be heard from behind me .  “ . . . I'll help . ”

Gyeonso Dragon suddenly appeared from behind and prepared the lightning dragon .  The next morning, lightning struck at great speed, further wounding Remus .  We continued to attack while biting our lips .  It was the same with Romelana .  She was shedding tears .

[ . . . Honey . ]

Romelana's words were even sadder .  Her heart and mind would've already been shattered .  It was so sad that she had to ruthlessly fight her partner she had given everything to .  Yet in this situation, she was more sober than I thought .  In this situation, wisdom was so sad .

[I'm sorry . . . however, I think you would want this as well . ]

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is closing his eyes . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is looking up at the sky . ]

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is biting her lip . ]

Everyone looked up at the grieving sky and felt a sense of hopelessness .  Even so, I had made up my mind .

[The constellation skill, 'Firefly Concerto,' will end in one minute . ]

[You won't be able to move after one minute . ]

“d.a.m.n, it is already time . . . ”

If the s.h.i.+eld disappeared, neither Romelana, Gyeonso Dragon, nor I would be able to escape a fatal injury .  Remus' power was beyond imagination .  His health had been decreased by half but there was still half remaining .  I watched the vanis.h.i.+ng s.h.i.+elds and bit my lip .  Then a familiar voice was heard, “Firefly Concerto . ”

The disappearing s.h.i.+elds were restored to their original state .  A small voice was heard behind me as Kim Sujeong stared at me, “It can't be helped . . . ?”

I listened to her words in silence .

“I thought I was used to it . After your wife's death, I became numb to people's death . That's why I wasn't going to do anything now . ”

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is looking at her with sad eyes . ]

“However, now I know . I realized there are things in the world that I can't help . It is also important to send it off well . ”

Her hands shone brilliantly .  I could see what she was trying to do .

“This . . . ”

The rating of her constellation was '3 . ' As a third-grade constellation, Camille had some attack power .  Blood flowed from Kim Sujeong's mouth .

“Nonsmoking Fireflies . ”

Two giant fireflies hovered around her .  It was obvious what this was .  It was a constellation attack skill that struck in a long line from a distance .  I watched the luminous light falling from the sky and was immersed .  The two fireflies indiscriminately fired the luminous light .  Since it was a straight line ranged skill, the damage of each one was very low but the story would be different if it attacked a single, ma.s.sive target .  As the name suggested, the fireflies had no smoke .

[Kuweeeeeoh!]

Remus struggled .  Fortunately, we had the s.h.i.+elds and didn't suffer any damage .  Even so, we couldn't smile .

[I'm sorry, Honey . . . I'm sorry . . . ]

The children at Romelana's feet wept .  Fenrir, the first born, cried the most .  There was something quite sad about a wolf's cries .  The cries that were intended to overwhelm someone contained feelings of sadness .

Awoooooo!

We watched it and became solemn .  My arm was around Gyeonso Dragon's shoulder as I was supported by him . Finally, Remus only had 5% health left .  Then it happened . . .

[The wolf star, 'Remus,' has regained his mind . ]

[Romelana . . . ]

Romelana's claws swinging toward Remus stopped .  However, the bombardment was still continuing . The thing that had already begun couldn't be stopped .  This made us sad .

[ . . . I'm sorry, Honey . This is the only way . ]

[Well done . As expected of my wife . . . ]

Remus didn't speak for long .  He too had already foreseen his death .  His eyes turned to Fenrir .

[You have grown a lot bigger, Fenrir . . . ] 

“Father!”

[ . . . It is a pity that there isn't much time . However, I have to say this . Now you are the head of this family . Protect your mother . ]

All the welsh wolves, including Fenrir, cried .  Their roars were an oath . They were also a song for their father .  Remus turned his head and looked at me .  His face seemed calm .  The final radiance before death—I could see that his remaining life was short .  I felt my heart pounding as the giant wolf looked up at the sky with a faint smile .  He didn't show any regrets .  Rather, there was a sense of freedom and relaxed liberation .

Awoooooo!

Remus let out a final howl and the black night exploded .  It was the last consideration for his family and for himself .  He took his own life so that his beloved wife wouldn't feel guilty .  This was Remus' love for Romelana .

The world flashed .  Light and darkness, blue lightning, luminous fireflies—everything was mixed together and a pure whilte light was created .  We couldn't open our eyes at the dazzling light .  The snow that filled the surrounding landscape reflected everything and the world fell into light .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is looking up at the sky . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is looking up at the sky . ]

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is praying to the sky . ]

In the dazzling sorrow, no one could speak .  It wasn't long before we opened our eyes .  Looking up at the sky, a white shooting star was going against the world by rising .  I could tell with one glance that it was Remus' star soul .  He would now be heading to the cradle of the stars .

I remembered the previous words of Psyche and the unidentified man .  I hadn't understood it then but now I do .  It might be a message of hope to be friends with all the stars in the world and not be lonely .  Perhaps Remus would see a myriad of stars as he went to the cradle of the stars .  He wasn't alone and would never be alone .  There would be many stars joining him .

I stood until Remus' star soul disappeared .  A short time later, a message was heard from the sky .

[World: One of the guardians of the world has returned to the cradle of the stars . ]

I opened my mouth with a heavy heart, “Remus, may the protection of the stars be with you . . . ”

Then I closed my eyes and collapsed .
