Helia, who had been following me silently, was the first to ask a question.

“Hero, have you been having a hard time lately?”

“There is, but it’s nothing special. Helia, just pay attention to Ciel like usual. ”

“Okay, I understand. I will only trust you, sir.”

Helia answered with a bright smile.

‘I would like to borrow the nymph’s powers, but.’

If you use the nymph’s ability to read the minds of others, you will be able to find spies easily.

However, since the force suspected of planting the spy was the most powerful one, Hadron could not act rashly.

‘If Hadron had experience dismantling and studying nymphs, he would have been prepared for the nymphs’ abilities.’

I was worried that I would have to leave it to the young Helia, even though she was an apostle like Helen.

Now, Heliado is my one and only family.

“Then, sir, what business do you have with me?”

“I have a question for you.”

“What are you curious about?”

“Can the Goddess control her warriors as she pleases?”

“Hmm… I didn’t quite understand the intent of your question. What exactly did you mean?”

“I’ll show you first.”

I went to find Colin, my house guard, to explain to Helia how my condition had changed because of Hestia.

“Hey, nephew, what’s going on?”

“Drinking in broad daylight… ”

Lately, Colin has been having fun whenever I’m home.

I hired him for a whopping amount of platinum a year, but he’s not doing his job properly.

I want to kick her out, but I can’t do that because there’s no one around me as talented as her.

Even though he was my father’s disciple, I couldn’t scold him openly.

But now, he had poured all that anger into Robera and swung it at Colin.

visor!

“Nephew, what are you doing?”

“How is it, Helia?”

“Sure… this is a big problem.”

Helia was very surprised to see my attack blocked.

Even though it was an attack that was swung with pure physical ability without any divinity, Colin, a 4th-ranked man, could not block my attack.

Still, the reason my attack was blocked by her was because of Hestia.

“You can no longer attack women.”

“The intention to attack is forcibly stopped, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you being hit by a tree right now?”

“Colin, stay still.”

“Wow, my nephew is too much.”

Colin, who was upset with me, started drinking alcohol again.

It’s not her that’s important right now.

“The moment I was about to kill the mother and daughter I met in the dark forest, this suddenly happened.”

“Window?”

Colin perked up his ears at the word “window”.

“Nephew, tell me more about that story.”

“I’m busy right now, so I’ll do it next time.”

“Okay. Don’t forget your promise.”

“Do your work properly and speak.”

Helia thought for a moment, then explained.

“Among the miracles that a nymph can perform, there is a prayer that suppresses the opponent’s intention to attack.”

“Are they from the same family?”

“That seems to be the case. However, it is unusual for the goddess to directly use it on a warrior. And it only works on a specific target… ”

Helia continued her explanation and became lost in thought.

It looks like they are taking it seriously.

“If a warrior loses his/her qualities, he/she will lose all abilities granted by the goddess.”

“Do you have anything to recover?”

“Ordinary warriors receive various blessings starting from the beginning.”

“I don’t have that.”

“…Because you are special, warrior.”

“That’s not special, it’s discrimination.”

Tomorrow morning, Helia was momentarily flustered, then waved both hands and explained.

“Hey, since this is the first time Hestia has chosen you as a warrior, there’s nothing to give you yet.”

“Has it been almost a year since you became a warrior?”

“That’s… Since there aren’t many believers who serve the goddess Hestia, I don’t have anything to give you separately..”

“Hmm… ”

“I’m sorry.”

I stared at Helia, who was defending Hestia, but all that came out of her mouth was an apology.

“I don’t think it’s something Helia should apologize for. And what I want to ask is, why do you think Hestia did this to me?”

“It seems that Hestia wants to capture you as her hero.”

“I want to catch it, but why did you make these restrictions?”

“No matter how much Hestia favors you, you must not go against her teachings, so it seems she is restricting you in this way.”

“Are you trying to hold on to me by force?”

When you see that people’s personalities are being ignored, it seems that the warrior is indeed a fantasy-style forced conscription.

“I’m quitting Yongsa.”

“I’m sorry, that’s beyond my control.”

“If you ask Helen?”

“…Even the apostles would be helpless.”

“Hestia is a bitch.”

Helia didn’t know what to do when I told her.

It’s also a shame that he has to be mindful of the situation between me and Hestia.

“I’m really sorry.”

“Don’t apologize. Helia did nothing wrong.”

“But why me?”

“I just felt like pinching you.”

In the end, there was nothing I could do about Hestia’s obsession.

‘I don’t know if I’ll get stronger from here.’

You wouldn’t know it if you drank the water again, but finding the water wasn’t easy.

‘Let’s just think of it as a symbiotic relationship.’

Since the protection of the family can be used usefully, let’s do our best to please Hestia.

“How is the child named Greena doing?”

A girl who was treated horribly by men from the same village.

At her friend Lucy’s request, I took revenge on her behalf, but revenge didn’t erase the past.

Maybe she is still wandering in hell.

“Yes, thanks to the grace of the warrior, girl Erina was able to rise above the past.”

“I can’t say it’s a favor, but I’m glad you’re doing well.”

“However, there is one catch.”

“What’s the catch?”

“Sometimes shows strange behavior at night.”

“Explain in detail.”

In response to my questioning, Helia explained what she had seen.

“I wonder if he was sleepwalking or something, he made strange noises at night.”

“How strange.”

“Chittered like a bird.”

“Hmm… ”

It wouldn’t be strange for someone to act strangely when they were under great mental shock.

Especially when it comes to violence.

“Please keep watching for a while.”

“Yes, and I have something to tell you about the girl, Lina.”

“What is it?”

“Among the sinners brought by the lord, there was not a man who impregnated a girl.”

“There is still trash that hasn’t been processed yet.”

There’s no way Baron Hipro could have hidden anything, so did he escape to another village?

‘There’s no need to chase it, but if the opportunity arises, we should catch it.’

When it comes to dealing with the Changgui, living criminals are always welcome.

…

Let’s head back to the room in Helia again.

Colin suddenly came to me.

“Nephew, tell me about the window you saw earlier.”

“Colin, are you still drinking?”

“Huh, alcohol is like air to me. I can’t live without it.”

“We called it addiction.”

Let me write a poem.

Colin, a heavy alcoholic, shrugged his shoulders and answered calmly.

“People originally live while being addicted to something.”

“This is the most savage example of an adult.”

“Yeah, I’m a grown-up who’s been eating. Okay? Now tell me about Chang-gwi.”

“Haa… Colin, don’t you know that your ears are dangerous? No matter how much you try to treat them, your ears are dangerous.”

“I know it’s dangerous. I almost got eaten by a claw once when I was a kid.”

“Was it?”

“Thank goodness I survived thanks to my teacher. My teacher said. How terrible a being Chang-Gwi is.”

“My father didn’t tell me… Anyway, why are you curious about Changgwi?”

“You don’t know that window is my family.”

“Huh?”

Colin’s answer was completely different from what I expected, making me feel a little dizzy.

“The ghost you met could be my older brother who was eaten by a monster, or my mother who was abandoned in the forest by my father.”

“I didn’t know you’d think that way.”

I never dreamed that I would find a family that had become a window. Because a window eats its own flesh and blood.

Even though he knew it, Colin wanted to meet his family who had become his confidant.

‘Colin has a strong love for his family, unlike his behavior towards the village chief.’

On the other hand, because he has strong family ties, he may have hated the village chief who was cold to his family.

“So, did your nephew catch the crows?”

“I didn’t catch them. They were rational enough to have a conversation, so it was awkward to kill them. And killing them doesn’t save them in the first place. ”

“Really? You’re in the Dark Forest?”

“Are you thinking of meeting them?”

“Of course.”

My temples started to tingle and hurt at the sight of Colin running into the dark forest at any moment.

This woman’s brain seems to be full of alcohol, otherwise she wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing.

“No. People who live in Changgwi are prey.”

“Your nephew talked to Chang-Gwi?”

“Well, I’m not an ordinary person.”

At my words, Colin tilted his head with a drunken look on his face.

“Nephew, are you the type that thinks you’re special? You’re so old-fashioned.”
