The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 33 - "Are You Going Back?"

"I can send Miss to the west." Avrim.

The room was suddenly quiet, Clara who was wearing a veil could not hide her surprise to hear Avrim say that.

Duke Wayne furrowed his brows, "What is your relationship with the western region?"

...****...

That afternoon, Avrim talked about the solution to Clara's problem. And sure enough, the solution from Avrim was immediately approved by Duke Wayne even though they had a moment of disagreement.

That was because it turned out that Avrim was a loyal servant of the Hortensian nobility. Better known as the Western region, the largest region in the entire Herbras continent.

Clara will go to Hortensia to escape from Ranunculus so that she is not beheaded or so on.

What he heard from Duke Wayne, it seems that after the rumors spread. As the defenses at Ranunculus tighten to avoid the fugitive, Clara Scoleths escapes from Ranunculus.

Avrim has teamed up with Duke Wayne to help Clara Scoleths get past the main border defenses. And once outside the main border, it will be Avrim's business.

A problem that had a considerable effect on the Wayne family.

Because Duke Wayne once asked Clara to be the shadow protector of the Wayne family. It will be something that will not happen in the future. Because, if Clara stays in Ranunculus, she will be searched even to the rat hole though.

It's terrible enough that Clara would end up being executed.

"I just want to live! Why do they always threaten my life?!" Clara clucked in annoyance.

TOK TOK TOK

Clara's room door was knocked, which is why Clara stopped packing her goods for supplies when she ran away.

"Hm? Who?" Ask Clara.

"It's me, Allen." Hellen's voice came from outside the room.

"Ouh.. come inside."

Hellen turned the door leaf, entering it slowly. He came here for two reasons. And one of them was about Clara going to Hortensia.

"Sir, Clara..." Hellen said hesitantly, he was a bit afraid to question it. But if not asked, it will only be a rock in his heart.

"Yes?" Clara waited for Hellen to speak.

"Are you really going to the west?"

"That's right."

"And left me... again...?" Hellen this time raised his tone. It sounded hoarse and sobbing, a sign that she was about to cry.

Clara also realized that Hellen's tears had already drenched her cheeks. That's very unfortunate.

"Allen, I'm leaving tonight. Everything is arranged and I can't turn down this opportunity. If I stay here, do you want me to leave you for a long time?"

Hellen flinched, his body already shaking violently due to his endless crying. Then he said very quietly, "Truely, this place is not safe for Clara."

"I'm going home, but I don't know when. Just relax."

Clara takes Hellen into her arms, and rubs Hellen's back in an attempt to calm her best friend down.

"Are you really coming back?" Hellen asked, his voice somewhat muffled due to Clara's chest embrace.

"I'll be back. I promise you. When that day comes I hope we both meet in good order."

"I can take care of myself, it's you who can't do that."

Hellen took off Clara's embrace, at the moment she smiled even though the traces of crying were still clearly imprinted on her beautiful face. She took something from behind her dress.

It was a beautifully carved box. He had two similar boxes, one for storing the hortensia book marker.

And the other one.

"This is for you Clara. I never had time to give it to you. Last time when my courage was gathered you switched consciousness."

Then Hellen gave the box to Clara, "This is a parting gift, so you keep in mind that you have a 'home' place here."

Clara accepted it and wanted to open it. But Clara's hand was held back from opening the box by Hellen.

"uh? Wh why? Can't I open it?"

"Can't! You can only open the box when you get to Hortensia!" Said Hellen while crossing his hands.

"Okay, all right."

Clara then entered the city along with her other belongings. Hellen waited for Clara's packing activities to be completed, he was happy at the end of the time before her departure he could be on good terms with Clara again.

"I'll definitely be waiting for you to come home, for sure!"

"Yes. I'm glad someone's waiting for me."

"All right."

...****...

Before leaving, Clara wanted to see the usual workspace she kept silent to pass the time. It was a bit sad when he could no longer return to this place. Although this workspace always torments him with a lot of documents.

"This place I'll be left at some point..."

"What are you doing here, Clara Scoleths?"

"Um... say goodbye before you leave?" Clara answered doubtfully - doubtfully. The answer sounds like another question.

Hendrick arrived - arriving from behind Clara. But Clara herself had no intention of facing him. He would rather look at this room than its owner.

TUKS

Then from behind, Hendrick's forehead touched Clara's shoulder. Despite his shock, Clara had no intention of removing Hendrick's head from his shoulder.

"Are you coming back?"

The faint voice of Hendrick was heard back after a while they were silent and dissolved in each other's minds.

"I'll be back, I don't know when. But I have promised 'his' to wait for me here."

"Hellen?"

"Yes." Yeah."

A few moments later they fell silent again, and Clara felt that no one else had touched her shoulder.

As he glanced slightly back, sure enough. Hendrick was doing something with Clara's hairband. He added a jade shaped white ranunculus flower.

As he picked up the jade Clara Hendrick said, "Although this place is not safe for you at all. We always hope that when the conflict subsides, you can come back."

Clara showed a grin there, "I wish I could come back here. My relationship with Allen is better now. In fact, the world is against my tranquility."

"The two months I spent with you, will never be forgotten by me."

That's right, huh? I've only been living here for two months. Even if it counted before I wasekai it would be six years over two months.

When Hendrick was done pinning the jade in Clara's hair fastener. Finally Clara could be free to face Hendrick.

Clara raised her head so that her eyes could face Hendrick's face, "Will Mr Hendrick feel lonely when I'm gone?"

"Eitherway. In this world all that can be chaotic and chaotic in front of me is you. This place might be back to nothing."

"Mr Hendrick could have asked Allen to screw up in this room." Clara said with a small laugh.

"Can the conflict in Ranunculus be resolved quickly?" Ask Clara.

He thought, even in a novel even if a conflict takes a long period of time to be completed.

It depends on who provides the solution and the realization of the solution. This country does not need just words.

"Don't know. Viewed from the current King. He might be able to provide the right solution, just that his embodiment would be a little slow."

"so."

Well then, it will be long enough for me to meet with Allen again...

"When are you going?"

"Hjp? Tonight, maybe. The problem is that midnight is getting harder for me to get out. They'll think I ran away in the middle of the night and then tightened up the defense."

A blink of Hendrick's eye stuck his forehead on Clara's forehead. "Just you should come back when the conflict has subsided and there is no threat to you."

Before Clara could respond, Hendrick immediately returned to his original position and immediately exited his study.

Uh..uh? He acted too quickly, even I was late in responding to his actions just now...

"Then I'll see you at the Wayne County border. I'll wait for you there."

"Mr Hendrick didn't go there with me?"

"The lousy old man ordered me to check the situation and conditions there. So you can escape safely."

After Hendrick was out of sight, Clara lowered her head slowly. Mumbled between darkness and silence.

"I've been troubling them a lot. I promise to return to Ranunculus and meet again with everyone!"
