Berserk: The Prophet

Green rested his chin on his hand, looking at Goni's eyes and profile, which seemed to sparkle like stars, and a genuine smile appeared on his face, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time.

"Do you like looking at castles that much?"

"Ok!"

Gerry felt an overwhelming surge of emotion as he gazed upon the enormous and beautiful castle, forgetting all his unpleasantness and laughing heartily.

Green had never seen her laugh so heartily, and his mood brightened considerably; as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

Gazing at that dazzling castle at night, it seems that I felt just as awestruck as Goni did when I first saw it.

"Would you like to hear about my dreams, Green?" Green, now in a cheerful mood, seemed to have completely forgotten all the unpleasantness from before, and he wanted to share this surging emotion with him.

“Well, what is your dream, Gunney?” Green rested his head on his arm, captivated by her profile and the way she looked at him with such tenderness, even as she gazed at the castle.

"My dream is... to own my own castle!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gerry shifted his eager gaze from the castle to Green's dark eyes. Perhaps because he longed for someone to share his dreams with, Gerry unusually ignored Green's mispronunciation of his name again.

"No! I want to build my own country!" Gerry's eyes turned to the castle again, his tone unwavering.

That's right, that's exactly it! This is exactly what he wants—a trophy far more dazzling than any of the loot he'd taken in the alley!

"Pfft, hahaha."

Green couldn't help but laugh as he watched her earnest expression. What a cute girl! She wanted to have the castle as soon as she saw it. What an amazing dream!

“?”

"What are you laughing at?" Gerry's surging emotions were abruptly interrupted by Green's laughter. Did this bastard think he couldn't do it?

"Hahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing, you continue, hahaha..." For some reason, Green just found Gunnie's appearance adorable and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That damn guy, he really deserves a beating!" Gerry swung his little fist and punched Green.

"Hahaha..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't laugh anymore!" Green just ran around with a grin, dodging Gerry's punches, occasionally throwing a punch to tease her, dodging with feints like a matador.

"You wretched bastard! Take this!"

.........

"Hoo, ho..."

The two children lay on the city wall to rest, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky, looking very happy.

"Ugh!"

"Hmph! Hehe..." Gerry was clearly not convinced and started to act like a jerk. He took advantage of Green's unpreparedness and punched him in the stomach, then collapsed on the ground and laughed.

Green rubbed his stomach, which was a little sore, and seeing that she was having fun, he continued to lie on the ground with a smile on his face, listening to her happy laughter.

These two, father and son, really do enjoy hitting other people in the stomach, but she's much gentler than Kadi.

I was tired from playing with Goni, so I couldn't bear to tease her for too long. I squatted down and covered my head, letting her do whatever she wanted. Anyway, my body is very strong, so hitting me is like tickling me. Maybe Goni thought it was no fun, because after a while she complained that she was bored and collapsed on the ground. It turns out she was holding back and waiting for me here.

After giving the guy a good beating, Gerry felt much better instantly. Breathing in the cool air on the high wall, he felt exceptionally happy.

"Anyway, no matter what you think, I will definitely have my own castle!" Gerry said confidently, his hands behind his head and his eyes narrowed.

"Alright, since you like going to that castle so much, I will try my best to get it for you."

Green also put one hand to his head, looked at the stars in the sky, took the left hand of the person next to him with his right hand, and looked at Green very seriously with his head turned to the side.

Feeling the texture of Goni's fair and delicate skin and her slender fingers in my palm, every joint felt so delicate, so beautiful compared to my own hands already covered in calluses from swords. It was unbelievable that such beautiful and slender hands wanted to grasp the highest point on a road that was outwardly glamorous but inwardly filled with bloodshed. These hands shouldn't be stained with blood.

Hearing Green say this, Green couldn't help but look at the boy, whose dark eyes were looking at him intently.

Feeling the calloused yet powerful hand stroking the roughness of the back of his hand, he wasn't joking. At this moment, Gerry felt a different kind of emotion towards Green than towards any of his other companions.

Gerry couldn't understand what kind of emotion this was, and he was stunned for a long time.

As if remembering something, Green took the ring off his neck. Although he didn't know what the ring was for, he wanted to give it to Guni as a token of their love.

"This is for you."

Green placed the ring in the palm of Green's left hand. The ring looked like it was made of gold, and upon closer inspection, one could see the color and veins of dried blood on it. On the inside, a bright red mark was written Green's own name.

"What is this? This..." Gerry had never seen such an exquisitely crafted ring before, but this ring must be very valuable, right? He couldn't accept something so valuable.

"Keep it. We're going to be at war again soon, and I probably won't be back for a long time. Just keep it for me." Green noticed her reluctance and casually mentioned his upcoming departure for war.

"...Are you going to the battlefield?" Gerry felt a sudden tightness in his chest for no reason. They had only just met, even though Gerry's abilities were indeed extraordinary.

"Yes, they might not come back!"

Green spoke casually, after all, he had the system's physical immunity card, so he wasn't too worried about any problems. Besides, magic wouldn't appear anytime soon. But things are unpredictable, and he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't die. What if the cannon didn't count as physical damage by the system? And even if he didn't die, living as a cripple would be quite boring.

"What discouraging talk! You must come back! You just said you would help me get my own castle and country!"

Gerry couldn't help but get annoyed. "That jerk!" He sat up, angrily pulled his hand away, crossed his arms, and turned his head to the side.

"Hehe, that's why I asked you to keep it safe for me so I could rush back without stopping." Green sat up and put his hand on Green's shoulder.

"Hmph, then I'll reluctantly keep it safe for you." Hearing Green say that, Gerry felt much better. He crossed his arms and, with an "okay, fine" expression, put the ring and necklace on his wrist.

"Hmm, it's about time, I should take you home."

"it is good."

Gerry took one last look at the castle, perhaps thinking that tonight's events would be an unforgettable memory years later.
