“Paybee! It’s finally here!”

As soon as Joey saw Fabi’s face, he smiled broadly.

The smile was a joy at meeting a friend after a long time, but it was also an anticipation of the various reactions my friend would show in the future.

Even if you are Fabi, if you receive training from the Arn Knights, you are bound to become disheveled!

It makes me so happy to think of laments coming out of the saint’s mouth.

Is this what Lady Arlen felt when she invited us?

I know it’s not a good attitude, but I just can’t stop myself from laughing.

Hehehe. Should we start with sparring with Baek Arn right now?

Joey recalled what he experienced when he first stood in front of Benedick.

I thought I had become accustomed to real combat through constant training with the Knights, but I remember being blown away by Benedick who flew in from an unseen place.

It is true that Faby is more familiar with actual combat than I am, but I still won’t be able to do anything in front of someone other than Benedick.

I’m sure you’ll be very embarrassed.

Joy was looking at Fabi with mischievous thoughts, but unfortunately, reality did not go as she thought.

Even though Fay Bei suddenly joined the sparring match, he seemed to fulfill more than just one role.

It is natural to stand in the rear and provide good support to the front lines.

There is no way that Faby, who was an outstanding priest before being a saint, would not be able to fulfill her role.

What surprised Joy was that Fabie seemed to go above and beyond without thinking about it.

“Thank you! Holy woman! Thanks to you, I survived!”

As soon as he sees the battle line in danger, he immediately creates sacred magic to protect it.

“Huh! Were you prepared?”

“Joy! Magic!”

“…Yes. Four!”

He anticipated and dealt with Benedick’s attack before Joey did.

“A poor saint!”

“Okay!”

Even though Lucy didn’t say it in detail, she understood what it meant and created a variable with her magic.

The appearance that Fabi showed during her sparring with Benedick was not that of a weak saint, but was closer to that of a saint walking around in the middle of the battle lines.

Joy looked sullen because she couldn’t see her friend in trouble, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.

This means that Fabi is someone who commands the respect of many priests.

Joy felt reassured by the fact that Fabi was standing next to her, and participated in the battle more aggressively than before.

“Good! It just got more fun!”

Although they had gained a sense of stability with the addition of an outstanding priest named Faby, the wall called Benedict was still too high.

Lucy’s party was still not enough to deal with a monster that few people could face even if they looked around the entire continent.

“I didn’t even graduate from the academy, but I can’t believe I’m like this! The future of the kingdom is bright!”

After Benedick left, leaving the exhausted people alone, those standing across from Benedick, starting with Joey, began to collapse on the floor.

He had used up all his remaining stamina while holding out against the monster named Benedick.

At this time, it was no different because it was Fabi. She slid to a sitting position, leaning against the wall, and was busy trying to relieve her shortness of breath.

“Stupid Papa is really childish. Does it make sense for a big man to do his best to beat his daughter?”

The only exception was Lucy. Possessing transcendent physical strength from the beginning, she still maintained her composure despite performing the most difficult role in the sparring with Benedick.

“That’s my dad. It’s really annoying.”

The moment Lucy showed her genuine annoyance, a thumping sound was heard from far away.

It was a fairly loud sound, but the only person who was surprised by it was Fabi.

Those who had stayed in the Arn family recently had no difficulty guessing who the owner of the noise was.

“A poor saint.”

Fabi, who was looking around, heard Lucy’s voice and quickly turned her head.

“You look like a stubby dog, so you move better than you think? Don’t you think it’s just full of fat?”

Lucy’s tone was as provocative as usual, but Faby couldn’t pay attention to what she was saying.

The sight of Lucy smiling brightly without any darkness stole her thoughts.

I was amazed when I looked through the crystal ball, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I can’t help but be amazed. How can even a sweaty appearance look so sacred?

It almost feels shameful that I’m the only one who hasn’t seen that before.

Fabi, who was a little jealous, suddenly realized that the divinity residing inside Lucy was different from before.

The warmth of divinity has become softer. And it seems like the amount staying inside of you has increased. Above all, it feels much more natural for the divinity to move around inside the young lady’s body.

You’ve grown even more while I was away. As expected, he is an apostle of the Lord.

“Duntaengi saintess. Have your ears gained weight too?”

“…Ah. sorry. Young-ae. I thought about something else for a moment.”

“How can you think of anything else on such a cute day? That’s really cocky. Do you think that everything is just a little bigger?”

Fabi was not embarrassed by Lucy’s pouting lips.

As I was dealing with dark-hearted people at my church not long ago, I was able to see Lucy’s complaints as cute.

Lucy looked down at Faby’s calm appearance, as if she didn’t like it, and then pulled her cheeks.

“On the subject of a plump saint. Cheeky.”

“Jeseonghae. Lord, please.”

“That’s right. Lucy. Let go of the saint. Instead, play with me.”

While Lucy was chatting with Faby, Frey, who had regained his strength, came to Lucy’s side and pressed his cheek.

Lucy, who saw this, looked at Frey without saying anything and then pulled Frey’s cheek.

“Ahh! Oops!”

“You do it. Perverted prosecutor.”

“…Lucy is bad.”

Fabi, who was watching the scene, burst out laughing without realizing it.

*

A few days after Faby returned, Benedick said that he could no longer spar with her.

“Because I have a schedule with the people of Aln and other nobles around me.”

Benedick explained to me that he didn’t want to go either, but I didn’t care.

Benedick had suffered too much so far for me to just pass this up.

Having succeeded in scaring Benedick into a fearful coward through my brilliantly moving lips and tongue, I gathered my exhausted friends.

Since I can’t spar with Benedick, there’s no reason to remain in the Arn family.

Everyone grumbled about losing their little break, but their expressions changed the moment they heard what I said next.

“Going to conquer a dungeon?”

“Have we got another chance to get out of this hell?!”

“Wanna bet again?”

Is it because the last dungeon raid was relatively leisurely? The three people who were together last time expressed their joy at the simple fact that they were going to conquer a dungeon.

He thought it would be much better to experience actual combat than to go through the hellish training of the Arn Knights.

I watched them rejoice without saying anything.

The purpose of visiting the dungeon this time is completely different from last time. Last time, it was to improve my dungeon exploration skills, but this time, I’m going to do some hard work.

I wonder if he can make that kind of expression even after spending twenty hours a day locked in a dungeon and hunting monsters.

‘is it so? I guess it’s because I’m thinking evil thoughts.’

‘Do we really have to do that? After all, it’s between me and my grandfather!’

The grandfather was silent for a moment, then sighed and lamented in a somewhat complex and subtle tone.

‘What do you mean by that?’

I’m glad I have the Mesugaki skill! How much trouble I suffered because of this crappy skill!

“Lady Aln. Can I join you this time?”

The moment I was about to interrogate my grandfather, a jackal sneaked in from the side.

There was earnestness in his eyes as he asked me a question, as if he was worried about being abandoned last time.

“Do you want to be with me like that?”

“Yes! I don’t want to be left in this hell alone again!”

“You look so desperate. It looks so pitiful, like an abandoned dog.”

“That. Then.”

“But what should I do with this? There is no room for inferior Confucius this time either. Hehe. I guess I’ll have to be alone again. I guess that’s your destiny.”

It’s a pity, but since Fabi returned here, there was no room for the jackal.

He has a subtle relationship and a subtle performance as a character, so he has no choice but to fall out of priority.

Did he care about the jackal, who broke down at the fact that he had been abandoned again? Fabi raised her voice cautiously.

“Stir. Young-ae. Still, can we go together for now? Even if the number of people exceeds, if there are shifts in between.”

“A poor woman. Don’t pity an abandoned dog. There is a reason why a dog is abandoned.”

“…Is that so.”

That doesn’t mean I don’t pity the jackal. Still, the reason I can’t take that guy is not only because of efficiency issues, but also because there is someone else who can take that guy.

Ever since I visited the Burrow family before, Caria had said that she would take the jackal and run it. If he comes, even the jackal will be able to escape this hell.

I don’t know if the place I arrived at would be a hell or a hell similar to this one.

“Employer! It’s been a while.”

Coincidentally, on the evening I decided to go to the dungeon, Karia visited the Aln Mansion.

After meeting Benedick first and talking about various things, she came to me and told me about what had happened between the second queen and Heishan.

“We were very awkward with each other at first, right? But once we started talking, we quickly became friends again.”

The second queen, who had made a mistake in the first place, was thinking of bowing her head first, and Heishan, who had heard the bad story, also understood the second queen’s position, so the two talked in a warm atmosphere from beginning to end without even calling it reconciliation.

“Thanks to you, I was able to easily do business with Queen 2.”

There was a bit of shadyness in Caria’s words, saying that she had obtained various things in addition to informing her of the first queen’s movements.

2Queen. You’ve become a bitch.

I can’t help it. How can you not be a pushover in front of someone who can read the other person’s emotions and thoughts just through their body language?

I’m really glad that Karia is on the same side. If Caria had been on the other side, how bad would it have been?

“The information obtained during that process is that the academy professors on the first queen’s side are actively moving within the academy. I don’t know the exact purpose, but you’d better be careful.”

Caria handed over a note with a warning and the names of several academy professors. Most of the names written there were what I expected.

The people who cooperated with the first queen in the main story were still there.

Even Luca’s name.

I giggled at him and handed the paper back to Caria.

“Isn’t it better to have it?”

“Ajumma. The treason is too harsh. Do I look stupid enough to be bullied by those idiots?”

The increase in events is rather welcome. Because it means I have more room to grow.

So what I need to do now is not to worry about the professors’ movements, but to grow so that I can overcome any hardships that come my way.

“More than that, you knew about the dungeon I mentioned, right?”

“I sent my disciple to take care of the matter. You can use it as you wish until the end of vacation.”

“Really?”

“But employer. What do you do there? They say there are a lot of monsters there, but the rewards aren’t good, so it’s a place people avoid.”

“Ajumma is so stupid that she can only see what’s in front of her? It’s a good thing that there are so many trash monsters.”

It’s perfect for hard work.
