Making a decision isn’t easy.

Even if it is a relatively minor problem.

Honestly, this has to be the case…making a decision about something is no different from declaring that you will handle everything that will happen as a result of that decision.

‘Of course, there are sometimes people in the world who don’t think about such things and just commit them…’

Basically, yes.

Even if it’s a minor issue, it’s okay… but how much worse if it’s a problem that involves a family.

It is family-related issues that turn people who are normally very sharp and cold-hearted into indecisive people.

Therefore, it is normal to hesitate at least a little… but Helena did not do that.

As if it was a waste of time to hesitate, the issue of returning to Europe was settled at once.

As I saw with my own eyes the series of processes leading up to that point, I couldn’t help but feel curious.

Shall I be honest?

I thought that when the situation was sorted out, Helena would return to Europe with the 1st Magic Corps.

No, I was sure.

From my point of view, it was reasonable to think that not only was Helena’s uncle, whom Helena said was the only family she had left, possibly caught up in a terrorist incident in Europe… Aside from family issues, the current Europe is Helena’s Because it was a land of opportunity, with opportunities everywhere.

‘It is unlikely that Helena was a mid-level wizard…’

Through some kind of opportunity, she became so strong that even the members of the 1st Magic Army, who were considered not only the strongest in Europe but also the strongest in the world, wanted to join her.

So what if you followed them to Europe?

He must have achieved tremendous achievements that no one can match.

I don’t know, but I think he contributed greatly to protecting Europe from the warlocks and creating the current union, so he would stand right behind or next to those who are called heroes.

The important point here is that Helena cannot be unaware of such facts.

Even though she couldn’t have known… she didn’t choose to go to Europe.

Instead of choosing to go to Europe, they chose to follow us back to New Castle City.

There was nothing we could do here because the situation was such that we were crowded together, but the thought of having to fight the warlocks in earnest made me feel scared all over again.

From my perspective, Helena’s choice was so unexpected that I even thought about it for a moment, but that couldn’t have been possible.

How can you be sure of that?

That’s right… because I saw it.

The expression and look in Helena’s eyes when she excluded the beings she called devils and the warlocks who were manipulating the magic circle in the rear.

At that time, Helena did not show any emotions.

However, it didn’t seem like he was hiding his feelings.

Emotions are like sneezing, they are noticeable no matter how hard you try to hide them, but I couldn’t find any trace of them in Helena.

Just complete emotionlessness.

There was no anger, hatred, or fear on Helena’s face as she dealt with beings related to black magic.

It was completely emotionless, as if he was saying that there was no reason to put any kind of emotion into it when all he could do was crush and kill bugs that bothered his eyes.

However, he avoided returning to Europe because he was afraid of battle with the warlocks.

I have to say something that makes sense.

So, it means that there is a reason other than fear for deciding to stay with us instead of returning to Europe… but what is that?

What on earth was in your mind that made you choose that option?

As I was thinking of using this opportunity to get a big deal from the coalition, I couldn’t help but be interested in that part, so I carefully asked questions related to it… but I was the only one who was curious about that part. Wasn’t that what I felt?

Hayoung and Cheongpung’s gaze also focused on Helena’s side.

Thanks to this, Helena, who instantly received the attention of the audience, smiled bitterly.

“First of all, let’s dig a little deeper into the group called Demonic Cult.”

“Hmm? Demonic religion?”

“Yes, in that sense… could you help me?”

A statement that doesn’t seem to have even considered the possibility of being rejected.

Cheongpung’s eyebrows twitched greatly at that.

Of course it has to be that way.

In a way, Helena’s comment just now was like asking for information that could be considered confidential to the party.

‘The problem is that it’s difficult to refuse.’

In a way, it was Cheongpung who knew Helena’s strength better than the people of the 1st Magic Corps, who are now gone.

After all, in order to send Hayoung and me to the control room, didn’t he choose to risk danger and remain alone with the monster wearing that girl’s mask?

Therefore, he must have keenly felt how absurd the things called devils are… Even though he had his help, Helena destroyed such an unreasonable being with just a few magic spells, so Cheongpung’s point of view is a laugh. There’s nothing strange about it.

Therefore, he must already be sure of how high Helena will rise within the Magic Tower Alliance in the future… but he blindly refuses Helena’s request?

Since there are quite a few things that are intertwined, it is highly unlikely that this will happen all at once, but as Cheongpung, he would like to avoid doing anything that would make Helena look bad.

Is that why?

The answer that Cheongpung came up with after much deliberation was none other than –

“If it is within the family, it is difficult to take it out right now because it requires the consent of the father and the elders, but if it is outside the family, we can get it out to you right away.”

Would it be okay if records from groups other than our family are related to the Demonic Cult?

Helena, who had been pondering for a moment after hearing Cheongpung’s statement, which was practically speaking like that, nodded her head cheerfully.

“It doesn’t matter. No, it would actually be better that way. If you look at the records written from various perspectives, you will be able to more quickly access the true nature of the group, whether it is a demonic cult or not.”

“In that case… I understand.”

“Of course, you will organize and hand over the Sacheon Group’s records, right?”

“···I’ll try my best.”

“If possible, it would be nice if you could also get me something called a magic craft. As much as possible.”

“I will also try my best.”

Cheongpung said he would try, but honestly, it wouldn’t be that difficult.

Considering the status that the Tang family currently holds among the martial powers, it would not be that difficult to receive information related to it.

What if other factions or families don’t like it?

Rather… wouldn’t you like it?

They may think that they can replace the benefits and support they have received from the party at a relatively low price.

‘It’s not cheap either.’

In fact, it was almost free.

That’s because, from their point of view, records about the Demonic Cult would have no particular value other than that they are records of the history of martial arts in the past.

‘If you feel uncomfortable handing over your faction’s data to another faction, you can keep the original and make a copy and hand it over.’

Even if some ‘editing’ is made during the process, the party will not be too concerned.

Since the Party considers records more important than any other group, you might think that is natural.

Well, anyway, I understand that Helena’s focus right now is on the Demonic Cult and the magic attack that was said to have been used by warriors belonging to the Demonic Cult in the past… but what about the next staff?

In the end, that was the part I was curious about.

So, I had an expression on my face asking me to tell you more rather than ending here… but Helena, who saw my expression, smiled slightly and continued.

“And… after I finish understanding those two… I think I’ll probably head to either Russia or America.”

“Hmm? You mean Russia and America?”

Why does it have to be one of those two?

Feeling that same curiosity…

“This is just my personal guess… but it seems to me that the enemy’s main force is holding out in one of those two places.”

So, I plan to go and beat them up in person.

It was Helena who casually said something that made people’s eyes widen.

“In that sense… could you join us? I think I might be able to do it on my own.”

The love calls aimed at me were a bonus.
