Reached the 60th floor.
Edeline became very excited at the news.
Not only was a first-class hero born, but a party of warriors that surpassed the 60th floor emerged. It is Ronica and her friends’ party.
Therefore, Venus made a large profit by selling strategy information for each floor up to the 60th floor.
Profits are jointly distributed to Ronica’s group. That’s why Ronica’s group felt proud and enjoyed a meal together at Venus Restaurant… … .
“Ha. I just got a bus from those three.”
“That’s right… .”
“Myo… .”
“I can’t keep up with the progress… … .”
Astradic.
Lapis.
Aleph.
The three sighed.
Reaching the 60th floor of the tower is something worth celebrating. If only it were his own strength.
but.
“You all just need to practice more!”
“Let’s cheer together.”
“… … … I guess I’ll have to wait about 30 years.”
Ronica.
Fiona.
Medis.
In reality, these three led the party.
The three of them already had enough strength to enter the upper floors, and instead, they slowly climbed up as a way of training while being considerate of the three behind them.
Honestly, if Ronica had made up her mind to climb the tower, she would have reached the 90th floor.
Because Ronica also has class.
Was it ‘the master of illusions’?
It’s ironic that it only works if I’m there… That too is clear.
What a demigod.
anyway.
As you can see, Ronica Mururi has achieved the dream she had been dreaming of since training camp. We started a party together and set an unrivaled high-rise record in Edeline. And that at only 20 years old.
For your information, I didn’t help. If I had helped in the first place, it would have already been on the 90th floor.
I just watched them grow.
Let’s talk about that level for a moment… .
Ronica is 7-star medium + soul power.
Fiona has early 6 stars + Luna’s power.
Medis is a 7 star average.
Astradic is between 6 stars.
Lapis is early 4-star + Myorin.
Aleph is in the middle of 5 stars.
This is a party of the strongest warriors, all with high skills that are not appropriate for their age.
They are the most notable warriors on the continent.
Also as an aside.
Erica is early 7 stars.
Rowen is early 6 stars.
Andro is a mid-3 star.
However, since I am not a warrior, I did not climb the tower much. Because each of the three has something to do.
Venus.
Goliath.
bankruptcy debt.
As the actual leader there.
To summarize briefly, it is as follows.
Everyone is moving toward their dreams.
And Ronica achieved her dream. Her goal was to gain strength like a warrior and not give in to unreasonable situations.
It’s such a happy thing. Achieving your dreams and spending time with good people.
Maybe that’s why the meat tastes good today too.
Slice the steak and put it in your mouth –
“Now, Aang~”
What?
Before I could lift the meat, Ronika picked up a piece of meat and held it in front of my mouth.
I asked without thinking.
“Negro. Me too!”
As I was chewing the meat, Ronica looked at the meat I had cut.
Just worry for a moment.
I put some seasoning on it and put it in the guy’s mouth.
“Haaaang~”
Tup.
“It’s delicious!~ It’s even more delicious because it’s given to me by a nemesis!!”
Cheer up~
“… … … .”
What can I say?
I got used to it. I have become a body that does not feel rejected by these things.
When did it become like this?… .
“Wow… Blackie shared a very sweet meal with Ronica.”
“Hey. Don’t you know it’s a phantom god?”
“Haha. It still doesn’t feel real. There is a person called Hwanshin in front of us.”
Ronica’s group is buzzing.
It seemed like they had now decided that Ronika and I were lovers.
Ronica’s trap is getting deeper and deeper. It feels so natural that I don’t even feel the need to correct or reject this situation.
really.
How did this happen?
Oh, I don’t know.
Let’s eat something.
“Aang~”
Tup.
*
It’s been a while since Seongju came to Edeline.
The reason is probably to see Ronica. He bought the right to enter on his own.
“Mom~ Let’s all go play together!!”
Then Ronika jumped up and begged me to go on a family trip, and in a few minutes she packed up her large backpack and came out.
castellan.
Lauf.
Ronica.
me.
The four of us got on the Lexia and headed to the forest on the eastern border of Leonis.
The destination is Erica’s bankruptcy house.
It is a huge city in the forest.
“Hey~ Aren’t you Hwanshinnim?”
After arriving, I met Erica separately.
“You are always living well.”
“Cancer~ Hwan. god. You’ve become so strong that you don’t even care about me anymore. By the way, aren’t you here to ask me to do something?”
“I just need a comfortable place to rest.”
“You came here to have fun? Hehe~ That’s easy enough. I’ll give you a very nice place.”
Erica gave me a quiet and elegant villa in the forest, saying it was one of the palaces she used. It was an old-fashioned yet beautiful place.
There was a slight incline, so there was a nice view wherever you looked, and there was no one except the manager, so it had a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.
I guided Ronika’s family there.
“I like it here~”
“If my daughter likes it, I like it too. How about Zane?”
[…] It’s not that bad.]
Ronika loved family trips.
It must have been a lifelong dream since childhood.
That’s why his smile never stopped.
They say laughter is contagious.
Rauf and I continued to sneeze. Seongju’s emotionless face also relaxed slightly. It makes me wonder if I could smile just a little longer.
Afterwards, we all enjoyed our time together.
Nothing in particular was done.
Let’s take a look at the surrounding scenery together.
Talk in a comfortable atmosphere.
On moonlit nights, we ate at a table set up outside and talked about the past in a comfortable atmosphere.
At that moment.
“How did your mom and dad meet?”
[…] … … .]
“… greatness… … .”
Ronika brought up a sensitive topic.
Why did Rauf leave Ronika in another house?
Also, how did Rauf meet Seongju?
It may be a bit reluctant to talk about it, but Ronica persistently asked if it was okay.
Finally, Rauf started talking.
While Rauf was climbing to obtain the tower’s resources, he became lost alone in a forest maze, separated from his men. While wandering there, he found Seongju, who was resting alone in the forest.
Rauf believed that Jeanne was a weak woman suffering from a disease due to her white skin, and led her to protect her. Without even knowing how strong she is.
Thanks to this, even if we encountered a bully in the tower, Rauf took it upon himself to solve it.
At this time, Zane just looked.
I was just deviating.
However, at that time, although Seongju was blunt, she was also a woman who felt emotions.
Perhaps that’s why Seongju seemed to feel pure favor toward Rauf.
However, there were many crises.
Because Rauf was weak.
So at some point, the castle lord showed his power and protected Rauf. Fortunately, even after seeing the castle lord’s threatening and reluctant soul power, Rauf continued to treat the castle lord as usual.
That seemed to increase Seongju’s favor.
Than you think… It’s a similar story to me.
Ronica saved me without even knowing how strong I was, and even after seeing my strength, she believed in me unconditionally.
Because of that, I gave my heart little by little and then… .
anyway.
After this, it’s a pretty normal story.
The two were together for quite some time, and before they knew it, they had such a passionate love that they even spent the night together.
However, Rauf is the monarch of a country. Since he couldn’t stay in the tower forever, he returned to Edeline, and war broke out with Caesar, so he gave up his head.
Seongju, who found out about Rauf’s death in some way, immediately entered Edeline, retrieved Rauf’s body, and revived him as a Death Knight.
But the resurrection of the undead.
As a knight, he could not tolerate this.
So I was in denial at first.
He asked me to kill him again.
At that time, Seongju said:
She said she was pregnant.
Take responsibility somehow.
Because of that fact, Rauf had no choice but to move again even after death.
I decided to live again.
However, some of the countless souls absorbed by the Seongju resided in the fetus Ronica, and to protect her, the Seongju separated his mental body into three.
To Ronica, a person who feels maternal love.
I am a person who can feel love.
To Rauf, the personality that contains all the other emotions.
The castle lord’s personality within Ronika monitored the sealed soul, and Rauf, who had great feelings for his daughter, was able to feel all emotions even after becoming a Death Knight.
and… .
As you can see, Seongju has lost his emotions.
Only one feeling, her love for Rauf, remains as a defense mechanism.
“I see… … Wow… I’m so glad you two are together… I love you both so much… .”
On this day, Ronica cried for the first time in a long time. This is because he acutely realized that he was a loved being before the truth of the two.
And then everyone hugged once.
castellan.
Lauf.
uh… Even me.
Pook.
“Thank you all. I also feel more confident! I won’t miss the nigger.”
“… … … ?”
[…] … … ?]
Suddenly the atmosphere changed strangely.
Suddenly confessing in front of your parents?
I was going well, but then why… .
Seongju even nodded as if he implicitly accepted rather than rejecting it. It’s as if he’s already mentally prepared.
Rauf also pretended not to notice and just turned his head slightly.
That is, there was no denial.
Why?… .
Was this also a ploy?
Are you looking for a showdown?
Whatever it is, I have to take action.
You have to make an excuse for anything.
ha.
okay… .
You can’t put it off forever.
If things continue like this, there is no way to escape, and if we put it off any longer, it will only become difficult for both parties.
Let’s make it clear.
To do that… .
“Ronika.”
“Yes!”
“That… Would you still like me even if I were at least dozens of years older than you?”
“Huh?… ”
“Since everyone has told their secret, I will tell it too. This is something that no one knows except Artrot.”
A story that has been kept hidden until now.
I plan to tell the truth.
I am a regressor.
He lived much longer than Ronika.
This will act as a clear rejection factor and can give you a reason why you are avoiding it. Anyway, Seongju and Rauf are absolute allies. It wouldn’t matter if I told you.
me too… I don’t want to hide my truth from Ronika forever.
Ronika achieved her dream.
I became a warrior and gained strength.
So now I can say it.
Let’s tell it all.
It’s about facing it confidently.
“… I am… … In fact, it regressed. I still have vivid memories of climbing the tower as an ordinary human warrior. I was very weak back then.”
“ times, regression?… … .”
Everyone listened intently.
I continued talking without stopping.
What kind of life did you live in your past life?
How I climbed the tower.
How did he die?
How did you regress?
How did you feel about taking care of Ronica?
The story was by no means short, and the story continued without even realizing that dawn had come.
A quiet atmosphere with flowing moonlight.
Is it because it’s all in the past?
Even though it wasn’t a good story, I somehow felt relieved. I think it was probably more because Ronica listened to it.
The cute sight of him opening and closing his hand makes me feel confused.
Therefore, I told everything without hiding anything.
“… Now you know why I do this, right?”
“Woong… The nigger has a second life… … .”
Ronika tried to comfort me.
Of course, after he waved his hand and said it was nothing, he continued what he said earlier.
“That’s why it’s hard for me to accept you as a lover. Because you are young, and I am like an old man living a second life.”
at las… .
I finally said it!
If this were the case, wouldn’t Ronica also understand?
Wouldn’t Seongju and Rauf also try to dissuade Ronika?
If you look at him with such expectations… .
Cheer up.
“It’s nothing like that!”
He responded lightly.
Attitude as if it doesn’t matter.
… I had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
I immediately asked him what he thought.
“Why… Why do you think that?”
“Black people aren’t even human to begin with, right? It’s nothing compared to that.”
“… … … That’s because it can turn into a human. Age is a different area-”
“Negro! How many years do you think a nigger lives? Maybe it will have a very long lifespan?”
“… Life expectancy?”
The answer was given by Seongju.
[This guy will live for thousands of years just by breathing.]
“Look! So the nigger is still young? Are we both children?”
“No… What kind of sophistry.”
“It’s not sophistry! Sometimes niggers act like normal humans. Even if there is nothing you can do about it because of your past life, black people have already broken out of that mold. It’s just a moment.”
“… It’s not what you want to say, but… … .”
“Of course, it might be uncomfortable right now. But what if 100 more years have passed here? So what do you think about the two of us?”
“That’s… .”
“I’m sure. If we’re together, we’ll definitely be happy!”
Eyes that never waver.
weird.
Even though I put so much effort into explaining this, I am still being persuaded. I feel my values expanding in real time.
In a hundred years… .
Isn’t there going to be a big age difference?
No, why on earth does this guy talk as if he could see a hundred years into the future?
What on earth did I grow?
Here, for some reason, Seongju put an end to it.
[I am over 400 years old.]
“Eek!!?… .”
“Jane?… Isn’t that a fact I didn’t know? … .”
[You care about very trivial things. Once you live long, age doesn’t matter. A difference of several decades means nothing. I don’t regret meeting Rauf. So if you refuse, you will regret it a hundred years from now. ]
“… … … … .”
I was speechless.
I can’t think of anything to refute.
As they say, I will live a very long time. That would be the same for you as well. Because we have already reached a level where we transcend humans. Hundreds of years from now, it will only be considered a few decades. Maybe you’ll consider it like a friend… No, it definitely will.
Seongju and Rauf are living witnesses.
Overcame hundreds of years of age difference.
Rauf himself didn’t seem to know… .
In short, let go of the human perspective. We… Does Seongju look like a young guy?
therefore.
we are… .
“We can be together!!”
“… … … .”
Ronica, who sensed my feelings, answered first.
We can be together.
I really do.
With Ronika… … … .
As I was thinking that, Rauf finally spoke as if he had made up his mind.
“Honestly, I don’t like it, but… There is no one who can protect Ronika by her side other than you. And in conclusion, it’s just a memory of a past life, but if you think about it, isn’t your body a child less than ten years old?”
“… … That means… .”
“We already gave permission.”
At this, Seongju also nods his head.
It means you agree.
Unbelievable… .
Ronika, of course.
Even their parents.
Was I the only one who refused? Was that even an insignificant reason?
ah… really… I am… .
That’s really stupid.
haha… .
I was persuaded.
I never thought I would be persuaded… .
But I felt comfortable.
My values were the problem.
I can’t refute this.
It’s a complete defeat.
It may be uncomfortable right now, but eventually we will be together. In this clear factual situation, I used as an excuse my own values that did not apply to them at all.
and… .
To be honest, I also don’t want Ronika to look at anyone else.
That’s better.
That should be it… .
I… .
decided.
“Phew.Ronika.”
“Yes.”
“Starting today, I will try to change my perspective.”
“That means!… .”
“I don’t want to give you to someone else. However, I am reluctant to accept you right now. Fortunately, this is a problem that will be resolved over time. so… From now on, I will approach you too.”
“Uh, that. Are you asking me out on a date?”
“What… That’s the way it is.”
“… … … Peck!!”
Jump!~
The guy jumped excitedly and hugged me.
There was no resistance. Because I’ve already been affected by all of his affection.
Of course, you won’t be able to live like lovers right away.
Because that’s what values are.
But if you shake it off… .
I am also sure.
We will be happy in the future.
Sigh~
I stroked Ronica’s head as she came into my arms. Then the guy sticks his head out even more. He put his arms between his armpits and held them tightly together.
Let’s not avoid it now.
Let’s try to avoid it.
i love
The most precious being in the world.
An existence that cannot be surrendered to anyone.
The one and only being that I sacrificed my life to protect.
As a family.
and… Now perhaps as lovers.
Did you read my thoughts?
Ronica in my arms looks up at me.
Slightly red cheeks.
That blush looked sweet.
“… … … .”
“… … … .”
Why?
I just changed my mind, but I felt a strange excitement just by making eye contact. I felt like I was also infected because I could feel Ronika’s inner feelings when she said that she liked it and that she loved it.
To put it simply, our eyes met.
When did it become this big?
Disciple… .
So beautiful.
I guess I haven’t seen it properly until now.
When I realized that, for some reason his lips were getting closer.
Flow is really scary.
For some reason I couldn’t refuse.
Without even realizing it, I was with him… … .
“Keuhum!!”
[Hmm.]
Gooo!!!
A terrifying life. He immediately tilted his head back and covered Ronica’s mouth.
Tup.
“Eup!?”
It awakened the survival instinct.
If you look slightly to the side.
Lauf.
castellan.
It feels like a terrifying life.
They said they would allow it, but it’s another thing to show affection right in front of them. They probably didn’t like it very much.
“Giggle… .”
Ronika also noticed this and laughed.
The guy seemed to be in a good mood right now.
I guess… It seems like it won’t be an easy road.
Eat.
But whatever.
We will gradually get better.
I can’t refuse you.
In the end, I can’t help but like it.
As always
we are together
Isn’t that enough?
Oh, the moon also shines down on us so brightly. We there are laughing.
What was more important?
The important thing was us.
If we don’t mind… .
Together for life.
It would be called ‘apparent love’.
Does the sun chase the moon?
Does the moon chase the sun?
Do I see you?
do you see me
In the end, no one will know and we will move forward together.
okay. we are.
It was that kind of fate.
It was meant to be.
we… .
It was fate.
BONUS: Side story – Seongju was also a person.
Seongju John.
She left the Necropolis for a moment and headed to the nearest gate.
It was to stop by Edeline for a while.
but.
[…] … … .]
She suddenly stopped still and stared into space.
Did you feel that unspoken feeling?
Someone appeared in front of her.
[Nice to meet you. Lord of Necropolis.]
[Did Odin send you?]
[yes. There was a message from Odin, so I came here in person.]
Its identity is the Lion of Asgard.
A middle-aged man wearing a neatly dressed monocle bowed his head politely.
[Say it.]
[Your messenger. I would like to meet Dirus.]
[Why?]
[I know he brought back the undead. Perhaps, the seeds of rebirth. You will be dealing directly with the power contained in it. We need that strength and ability. There was an internal war not long ago.]
[Are you saying you need treatment? A chimera doctor can’t treat it.]
[Intentionally replacing attached bodies is a waste of power. We want a method with as few aftereffects as possible.]
[Do you think my lion has that ability?]
[yes. Because Odin said so. If you help us, we will help lift the measures for violating the agreement and convey to the whole world how trustworthy Necropolis is.]
[This is not a very helpful suggestion. Even without dealing with you, the Necropolis has always been self-reliant. It’s you who will lose.]
[Of course, I knew you would say that, so I prepared something special.]
[No matter what you say, it will be of no use.]
[Even if I give you the ashes that raised you?]
[…] … !!]
Seongju’s eyes twitched.
A very short moment.
I reminisced about the distant past.
The person who raised Seongju… … … .
[…] How did you get that?]
[Don’t you know? Odin’s power. He personally used his skills for this negotiation. Because you care about the warriors of Valhalla.]
[…] … Does Edeline have permission?]
[Of course.]
[Follow me.]
The worries didn’t last as long as I thought. The lord of the castle took the messenger of Asgard with him.
By Edeline.
*
“So… Do you need my help?”
[Yes.]
restaurant.
me.
castellan.
Ronica.
And the Lion of Asgard.
We sat at one table.
It was somewhat unexpected.
I was on a date with my disciple and eating snacks in a coastal city, when suddenly the Lord of the castle came with an Asgardian lion and asked me to do some work.
The problem is that guy next to me… .
“It’s a sphere.”
“Do you remember me? They only saw it once that day and didn’t pay any attention.”
“Isn’t he the Lion of Asgard?”
“That’s right. It’s an honor that you remember me.”
You can’t know.
The day Caesar was killed.
Even back then, this guy came with Seongju.
and… I think I understand now.
This guy’s true identity.
It’s a look I’ve heard about in my past life. As you climb the tower, you occasionally hear important news.
The lion with the monocle is Loki. For some reason, he was unable to pretend to be Odin’s son and is now hiding like that.
What did he do next?
Did you use the role of a gatekeeper?
I don’t know anything about that, but… It must be quite important for someone like this to come visit us in person.
“Negro, what are you going to do?”
“… There’s nothing I can do if it’s my mother-in-law’s request.”
Seongju is a helpful person to me.
The great power and help of Necropolis. And even his relationship with Ronika.
We cannot ignore such a request from Seongju.
I plan to listen to everything.
but… .
He said while looking at Seongju.
“What do you get in return?”
[…] … … There was once a precious person who raised me. This is the recovery of the remains.]
Seongju’s eyes waver slightly.
I noticed it right away.
It is a priceless transaction.
“… … I will help you. There is no need for compensation.”
[Thank you.]
“Thank goodness. Then Dirus, would you please follow me? I will guide you to Asgard.”
Loki stood up as if everything went well.
It seems like they want to guide you right away.
This time I asked the guy.
“Maybe it’s not dangerous, right?”
“Don’t worry. Because we don’t want to go to war with Necropolis. I have already been warned by the Lord of the castle several times.”
“Seongju?”
Okay.
I looked at Zane for a moment.
[…] I was sending my messenger to a rough area, and that was a natural measure.]
“Hoo.”
Expressionless, but… I thought I knew one thing. At some point, I entered her enclosure.
Well, is that a good thing?
Sze-
I stood up right away.
I have to finish it quickly and go on a date with my student.
“Geomdungang~ Shall I go with you?”
“No, wait. Because what they need is me. I will finish it soon.”
[Ronika. Please stay with me today.]
“Ah! Then today is a date with mom!!”
I don’t know what’s going on, but the castle owner decided to take care of Ronica in the meantime.
Thanks to you, I left without any worries.
“Go.”
“Okay.”
To Asgard.
*
Tower 85th floor.
A dome-shaped island floating in the sky.
“Is this Asgard?”
“Haha. You don’t know much about our world. This is Bifrost. This is where the entire bridge leading to our world was moved. Haimdal will send you to Balascap. I even guide you to Hildskop, where Odin is.”
“It’s hard to understand everyone.”
“Just follow me.”
I followed Loki
Bifrost crossed dimensions using a different principle from Gate.
Swoowoo!!!-
Thanks to you it arrived quickly
To a place called Balascap, a palace in the sky so high that it cannot even be seen from the ground.
Strangely enough, the structure and location of the palace changed every five steps I took. It seemed to be a much more complex and advanced system than the underground passage where Celesta of Necropolis stayed.
How far did it travel like that?
“I will stay outside. Please go in.”
At Loki’s urging, I entered the room alone.
In a gorgeous palace, numerous pillars, a ceiling made of pure silver, and a throne placed beneath it.
A sturdy white-haired old man sits there.
Strangely, I don’t feel anything.
He looks like an ordinary old man.
It was so well restrained.
It would be difficult for anyone other than me to notice.
“… … Are you Odin?”
The old man looked at me at my question.
That moment.
Huh!!!-
It felt like it was about to wipe out the world.
No, an unknown intangible energy is added, trying to weigh me down. Any normal person would have already fallen to their knees.
As expected, the highest level of deity is amazing.
If it were me in the past, it might have been difficult.
“What… Are we going to have a fight?”
[…] … … Hahahaha!!!!!]
Whiyuuu!!~
The situation has been resolved.
The energy disappears.
It seemed like the purpose was to briefly check on me.
And he said it as if it was fun.
[As expected, I wasn’t mistaken. The one who caused Ragnarok.]
“Ragnarok?”
[Didn’t you bring destruction to the gods of your world and become a god yourself? I too had a similar experience. From the guy who guided you.]
“You mean Loki?”
[Ho… Did you know?]
“It just so happened. But I’m not really interested. Just tell me your business.”
[Hahaha. Rude, but… You deserve full respect. Because he is not a god recognized by the tower, but a true god of one world. The reason I called you is simple. There are many warriors of Valhalla who have suffered unusual wounds and have not recovered. I want you to heal them.]
“Is it just a treatment?”
[It cannot be cured with ordinary power. But with your strength, you can do it. These are warriors I cherish, so I hope they are treated well.]
“You seem to know my power.”
[If you wish, there is nothing I cannot see. I’ve been keeping an eye on you since the Uk people. If I had known you sooner, I would have dragged you here, but it’s a shame.]
“Is there nothing you can do like that?”
[ha ha ha!… He speaks the same way as Seongju. Think what you like.]
“Where are the injured?”
[Loki will guide you. There is nothing particularly dangerous, so stay well. I will have my subordinates treat you as often as possible.]
“That’s it. I’ll go once I’m done with my business.”
Because my disciple is waiting.
[Tsk. The little guy you talk to is really no different from Seongju. okay. Do whatever you want.]
I left the room immediately.
It’s something only I can do, but it’s not difficult.
It’s just a waste of golden energy that recovers slowly.
Let’s finish it quickly and go back.
For our date.
*
“Mom.”
“… Speak.”
A pier with a view of the sea.
Ronika and Seongju. The mother and daughter sat there and talked with the warm sunlight and the sea in the background. Seongju opened his mouth normally and accepted the conversation.
“Mom… Was there someone who raised you and cherished your mother the most?”
“Are you curious about what I said earlier?”
“Yes. If you are a precious person to my mom, I want to know about it too!”
“… … … .”
Seongju looked out to the distant sea for a moment.
As I reminisced about the distant past that I had not even mentioned to Rauf, a person came to mind.
The smell of rotten skin.
Cold and disgusting feeling.
Most people will look at it as ugly… .
The most important person to Seongju.
“Mom?… Ooh, are you laughing? … .”
“… He was more precious to me than anyone else.”
“… … … Can you tell me?”
Is it because of Ronika?
At some point, I started feeling emotions. Maybe that’s why my memories of those days became clearer.
A secret I couldn’t tell anyone.
however… There is no reason to hide it.
Ronica’s eyes.
When I saw that, I wanted to tell you. I wanted to tell you everything.
Because Ronica will understand herself.
Even if you don’t say anything.
He ignored what I said.
Even if you frown.
Even if you show signs of dislike.
Ronica approached me first.
Ronica always approached me with one step and clung to me over such a long distance that no one could approach out of fear. At some point, I got used to it and felt like it was good.
So, Seongju… .
I wanted to be with Ronika.
I wanted to talk together.
I wanted to help with anything.
Just doesn’t show it.
She has already been influenced by Ronica. That’s how strong Ronica’s affinity was.
Same thing this time too.
Ronica asked herself.
Seongju wanted to explain.
Feeling an inexplicable happiness as the distance gradually narrows.
“It happened more than 400 years ago.”
I started talking.
Ronika listened intently.
Amazingly, the story flowed smoothly.
“There was a zombie at that time.”
“Zombie?.”
“It was a zombie that could speak.”
A long ago.
once upon a time.
There was one zombie.
As a mutant, the human zombie was able to think like a human.
Usually, zombies eat any living thing they find and crave blood, or attack a strong opponent without even knowing the subject and die.
Even humans, who were once part of the same species, are eaten like delicacies, whether they struggle or not.
So thought the mutant zombie.
He said he couldn’t hang out with them.
I don’t want to be hostile to humans.
That’s why I couldn’t hang out with anyone. I lived alone in the woods hiding.
Then one day.
A zombie found a child abandoned in the forest.
Unable to just leave the child unattended, the zombie raised the child in a crude shelter he had built.
The child grew up cheerfully.
It is said that he followed the zombies very well.
Has it been about 7 years like that? The child, who had grown up quite a bit, was having fun helping zombies by hunting or gathering them.
That day was unlucky at all, because human hunters came into the forest.
The zombie tried to hide from the hunter… .
It is said that the child, who knew nothing, ran towards the humans without any chance to stop them. So the zombies ran out together to stop them… .
The humans immediately took up arms.
To kill zombies.
I realized something was wrong, but it was already too late. You cannot run away once you are discovered.
Zombies were weak.
Even if you run away, you will be caught.
There is no power to stop humans.
Is it because I realized that?
The zombie didn’t run away. Rather, he rushed at him as if he was trying to kill a child.
Of course, the zombies died at the hands of humans.
He was pierced by a weapon and fell miserably.
Only then did Seongju realize his mistake.
The appearance of zombies and humans is very different. That they cannot coexist.
I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything.
I just sat down trembling.
Then, the humans said it was okay now and not to worry, and offered warm food and water. We took him to the village and calmed him down.
The subject of zombie enemies.
The kid was smart.
I realized I had to fake my relationship with the zombies. He couldn’t understand why the zombie was chasing him as if he was going to kill him.
I held back my emotions servilely.
He grew up under the care of the human who killed his most precious person.
At the same time, he coveted the power of humans.
Learn how to hold a weapon.
I found out it was magic.
And when he realized that he had great talent for magic, he secretly developed his strength by dabbling in black magic to quickly become stronger. He became a necromancer and was able to raise zombies who were like his family and command an army.
The child left town.
They killed hunters in the forest at random.
That doesn’t solve the problem. Afterwards, the child grew up and entered the tower.
Finally, enter Necropolis.
Hundreds of years have passed.
After exploring powerful powers, she became the lord of the castle. However, because he grew up that way, he was unable to reveal his feelings to humans.
I couldn’t talk to anyone properly.
Until I met him.
“At that time… I met your father for the first time.”
“… … Hi… I’m so sad. I’m so sad… … So, I will be by your side.”
Come on… .
Ronika comes to be hugged.
On this day, Ronica realized something.
My childhood and until I met Rauf.
Seongju must have been difficult and painful.
Seongju, who was so scary and emotionless, was ultimately the same person.
Love was hard.
He said he was a lonely person.
Knock knock.
We hugged each other and patted each other on the back.
To share warmth like that… .
“… … I came in a hurry for no reason.”
A little far away.
Dirus looked at the two of them blankly. In the subspace pouch in his hand, the most precious being of the castle lord was kept in a coffin and resting.
However, I thought it would be okay if I delivered it a little later, so I watched the two of them hugging each other.
But it wouldn’t be a good idea to steal too much.
He quietly moved away.
With a gentle smile.
Now, mother and daughter needed some time.
BONUS: Side Story – Medis’s Contrition.
[I feel somewhat frustrated.]
Venus headquarters rooftop.
Atrot muttered to himself.
This is because at some point the enjoyment of watching Dirus disappeared. This is probably because Dirus accepted Ronica’s affection instead of avoiding it.
If you want to keep watching them go on dates… Why did I feel bad?
Originally, I hoped that the two would get along well.
‘I didn’t want you to be that happy.’
Haha~
I sigh.
There is a lack of stimulation.
It was better when it was sad, because it had a tickling taste.
Even though he has become stronger, he doesn’t even care anymore. It was like that originally, but… What a mean and rude person he is!
He sighed again and shook his head.
I did this and that… .
Actually, I’m bored.
Artrot was bored.
blast furnace.
[Pahaha! Knowing this, we secretly obtained these items when the two of us climbed the tower.]
Sigh~
She took something out of her arms.
⊙︎ A faint match that has passed away. (divinity.)
If you light a match and look at it, something unknown may come to mind. It is the most precious truth of other lives that cannot be felt.
-It may not be effective depending on the target.
-Applies only once to each target.
A stick the size of a finger and a match.
This may remind the subject of some of the most important parts of their life. In other words, if you show him this, he may change 180 degrees.
They suddenly get angry and say they need revenge.
Cry and say you want to apologize.
Frustrated or wanting to die.
No matter what we have gone through, we can all be greatly influenced by the truth of what we have experienced in other lives.
For reference, it was useless because it reminded me of the time before the regression that I already knew, but I plan to play with it as a toy instead.
Of course, there won’t be much damage to Dirus.
If you touch Ronica incorrectly, she will get tired.
So, I plan to write this to people around me.
I put it into action right away.
The first target is Fiona.
*
Fiona is resting.
Pak!!
Artrot burst into the guy’s room and immediately took out an unlit match.
[Now, look at this!]
“Woong?… … .”
[Can you see something?]
“Ah… … Umm… … … .”
Fiona looked at the match as if she were lost in it.
At that, Atrot looked at Fiona, expecting her reaction. However, contrary to expectations, Fiona muttered something creepy with blank eyes.
“If you follow the flow that no one can resist, you will inevitably face death, so what is the use of something impossible like the person in front of you being crushed to pieces in three encounters? The direction born in the beginning will grant absolute power, and even if you die a hundred times and lose the path to a new life, in the end it will be right-”
[uh… hmm… … .]
I don’t even know what that means, but for some reason, Atrot avoided his eyes when he heard that the person in front of him would crumble to pieces in three encounters.
This is because an unknown omnipotence was seen in Fiona, radiating soft moonlight.
No, I just had a headache.
What kind of bullshit is that?
“We will come back again, time expands relative to each person’s standards, we-”
[…] … … .]
hook!-
I blew out the match.
At the same time, Fiona, who was making philosophical noises, said, “Ah!” and stopped.
And then.
“Interesting book. It disappeared… .”
He said regretfully.
[…] Were you a philosopher in your past life?]
“… ? What are you talking about?”
[no. done… .]
Atrot left the room.
I felt like I was being punished for trying to have fun.
*
The next target is Rowen.
Even though I didn’t know Rowen, there were many ways to show my match. Where he was working, I put a match in a bowl that looked like a scented candle and waited.
Squeak~
“… What scented candle? Who put it there? I don’t feel any special scent… … .”
Rowen, who opened the door and came in.
He looked at the matches questioningly.
Above him, Atrot, in his fairy state, giggled and secretly watched Rowen’s reaction.
“Ah… … .”
Did you think of something?
He stiffened his face and clenched his fists.
He was looking at the matches, and as if he had decided something, he got up and disappeared somewhere.
[Hehe! It’s a big step!!]
He must have remembered something important.
Atrot secretly followed Rowen.
However, the desired results were not achieved.
“I’ll go to the south. There’s a silver lining that needs to be released. I don’t plan on putting it off anymore.”
“Suddenly?… .”
The place Rowen headed to was Ronica.
No, it was a notice that they were going south.
“Something important came to mind. I’ll be back in a few weeks, don’t worry.”
He even said he would go alone.
I don’t need any help either.
[Hmm… It’s a hassle to follow you there.]
Artrot expressed regret. I thought you would show me something right away.
It was a hassle to follow along.
I had no choice but to turn off interest.
I found my next target.
this time… .
[Phew.]
An idea that seemed interesting came to mind.
It’s Medis.
*
[Watch this!]
“… … … ?”
Medis living in Venus.
While looking at the magic book he had brought in from somewhere, he inadvertently raised his head.
Before I knew it, I saw Artrot’s match approaching.
“… … ah… .”
Medis froze.
Faster response than anyone else.
He looked at the matches as if fascinated.
[Phew… What do you see?]
At that time, Medis shed tears for some reason.
“… If you don’t apologize… … .”
[hmm?… .]
It was an unexpected reaction.
Medis usually spoke little and appeared solemn, but her face suddenly became distorted and sad.
[Why are you doing that?]
“Ah… What item is this? It was like seeing a past life.”
[Past life? What did you see there?]
“Actually… … .”
I opened my ears, expecting an interesting story.
However, when I realized it, Atrot was listening to Medis’s advice about her concerns.
Medis’ concern was simple.
I immediately realized what I had done with Dirus before returning, and felt a sense of guilt that went beyond great guilt. I want to make up for that.
“But… I don’t even know who it is. To find him on this wide continent… … First, ask Ronica to find a list of heroes and name him Dirus… … … uh?… Wait, if it’s Dirus… … no way… .”
However, Medis was not sure that the Dirus of his previous life and the current Dirus were the same person.
Dirus, a human who was a warrior.
Dirus is called a phantom god.
They are of different races and have incredible strength.
That’s why it’s bound to be confusing.
[ha… I never thought I would remember that memory. okay. I will tell you the truth.]
“Truth means… … .”
In the end, Atrot revealed Dirus’ identity.
Because I thought this would be fun in its own way.
Dirus, who killed and killed in his past life, is now the reincarnated god Dirus in Venus.
He has memories.
That’s why I hated you.
However, after realizing the story behind Caesar and Aegis, I have now forgiven him.
“Things like that… .”
Medis became sad and quiet.
He learned the truth about why Dirus hated him and that he had already been forgiven… Medis’ face became even more determined.
“If I had been more honest… … .”
regret.
I was eaten away by irreversible regret.
Medis, who became free, became more emotional than before. Unlike how I always kept it to myself, I sincerely regret it now.
Is it because of that?
“… I also have to apologize.”
[apologize? There is no need for that. Didn’t he say he already forgave you?]
“Still… Only then will I feel comfortable.”
[Sigh – that’s right. Take care of it. It would be fun to watch that.]
“Yes. and… Thank you for taking care of me.”
[What… Could it be that my work also came to mind?]
“Vially.”
[Huh, hmm! Then, please treat me well in the future.]
“Yes.”
Afterwards, Artrot sealed the match.
This is because there were no interesting situations at all, and it just ended up being twisted.
Thanks to this, Medis came up with a plan.
He approaches Dirus and apologizes.
With as much sincerity as possible.
*
Medis secretly followed Dirus. To apologize for one’s mistakes.
however… I couldn’t find the timing.
Dirus.
Sleeping with Ronika.
wake up together
Let’s eat together.
Take a walk together.
Training together.
Talking together.
Even working together, etc.
We are doing everything together. There was no way I could sneak up on myself.
So I followed him around for two days without any results.
Is that why?
While walking down a city street.
“Medis! Why do you keep following us?”
Ronica approached me first and spoke to me.
Hiding was useless. Because the current Ronica is superior to that.
Next, Dirus also added a word.
“Do you have something to say?”
“That… .”
What an ugly sight this is.
I didn’t have the courage to properly apologize, so I couldn’t figure out the timing, and this is what happened.
If I had known this would happen, I would have just approached first… .
But the incident has already happened.
There is no turning back.
Although it was late… .
I raised my head proudly.
“Actually, I have something to say.”
“What to say?”
“There… To Dirus”
“You mean me.”
“… … … … .”
“What do you want to say, why are you following me around all day and not being able to do it?”
“… mi… … .”
“Mi?”
No words left.
Is it right to start by apologizing?
Is this kind of apology right?
This… Isn’t this an escape to make yourself comfortable?
If you’re really sorry… .
You have to be sincere… … .
“Why are you clenching your fist? Are you trying to fight me now?”
“… … … … I’m sorry.”
“… … … ?”
“Really… Sorry… … … .”
“Ah, no, why are you crying… .”
“Ahh… The black bell rang out.”
As soon as I said a word, tears flowed.
Even though I thought I had to be sincere, I couldn’t come out with anything other than “I’m sorry.”
My hair turns white and gray.
How can I cry over something like this after so many years?
It’s so hard to say a word when you’re all grown up that you cry.
How disgusting this is.
It’s shameful and shameful.
But we cannot stop here. It shouldn’t end with a simple apology.
Because I did something I shouldn’t have done.
Fortunately, my heart calmed down as the tears came out.
You must convey your sincerity properly.
He finally spoke calmly.
“Actually, I remembered… What have I done to you?”
“… … memory? No way.”
“I’m sorry for not telling you in advance. I’m sorry for disappearing without permission, and I’m sorry for making you die again. never… I never meant to do that… … … .”
As I was talking, my emotions came to my senses. I was so tormented by a sense of guilt that I wanted to run away right away.
But Dirus chuckled.
“I see… Well, I don’t know how you knew, but don’t worry too much about it. I already forgot.”
saying.
He said it was no big deal.
But how could I forget?
I committed such a big sin.
“I can’t forget it! It may look different, but if that’s you… I did something wrong to you that shouldn’t have happened to you. So I will atone for you. I may not be forgiven easily, but I!-”
[Medis.]
Phew!-
A feeling surrounds the body.
It felt warmer than I expected.
And then.
[I have already forgiven you.]
“… Ha, but… … .”
[There is nothing wrong with you. The culprits were Caesar and Aegis, and both of them were already dead. So now, don’t allow yourself to be eaten by guilt.]
“… … … .”
[You were my colleague.]
“Ah… .”
Something.
Feeling refreshed and comfortable.
Suddenly I realize.
He really forgave himself. I am comforting myself with that evidence.
To something that wasn’t a big deal… .
I was struggling alone.
When I realized that, a faint smile appeared.
What I wanted to say now was not an apology.
Dirus’ words made everything clear. There was no reason to be embarrassed by this.
“… Thank you.”
“You just need to know.”
“I will never betray you.”
“That’s obvious.”
“… So, are we colleagues?”
“That said, the situation is different now. I’ll just use it as a subordinate.”
“Hahaha… It’s an honor. The servant of the Hwanshin.”
I am forgiven.
No, forgiveness was confirmed.
He didn’t blame himself, and all his ill feelings toward him disappeared.
It could get better in the future.
That’s enough.
Eat.
We smiled at each other.
It felt like my heavy shoulders had become lighter.
“Cancer! It’s a nice sight to see. So, let’s take this opportunity to party together! I’m calling Fiona, Andro, and all my friends!”
At the end, Ronica brightened the mood.
I felt happy.
The motivation for life becomes more fulfilling.
I even feel like I want to practice.
If I can help them, I really want to become stronger now.
I am also a member of them.
I have colleagues and friends.
You are not alone.
It was this good.
so… Now let’s try to enjoy life.
*
…
…
…
[what… This is also worth seeing.]
A little far away.
Atrot muttered with a happier smile than expected.
BONUS: Side Story – Grand Master Rowen.
A land in the far south.
A lawless area where barbarians and various tribes thrive.
Or the land of tribes who wield horses, bows, and swords.
“It’s true here too… It’s been a while.”
Rowan.
Carrying an iron club and a subspace bag, he walked alone through the meadow.
This is Rowen’s hometown.
The reason I came back here is simple.
I saw it in Artrot’s match.
Unlike himself, who survived alone and ran away, he saw the back of his father who fought until the end and died.
now… The time has come to set things right.
will prove it
That he had become a great warrior.
That his tribe is still alive.
The great warrior Rowen has returned.
Rowen has been the de facto manager and president of Venus without any shortcomings, but he has continued to train without rest every time.
The reason was because of this past.
Rowen is the son of the tribe chief.
There is a need to avenge the tribe.
The reason he viciously climbed the tower in his past life to become stronger was to become stronger and rebuild his tribe. I haven’t forgotten that goal yet.
blast furnace.
“I will erase all the past.”
He silently went home alone.
*
“This can’t be right… … Is this really Rowen?”
An empty village.
An old woman came out to greet Rowen.
Several nearby villagers also looked at him in disbelief.
My heart was touched by the sight of the people in my hometown.
But warriors don’t cry.
I opened my eyes wide and looked around.
They all look skinny.
A village with mostly women.
Enemy tribe warriors guarding the village.
A kolakseoni who works like a slave every day and donates food and supplies… .
I knew it, but seeing it in person made me angry.
“What is it? You guys.”
“Everyone get together and do something!”
An enemy tribe warrior who occupied his hometown village approaches Rowen, yelling. The villagers had to disperse without even saying hello.
So I couldn’t bear it anymore.
“I, Grand Warrior Rowen, have come to fulfill my mission to protect the Trelia tribe!!”
“Rowen!… … .”
The grandmother who was watching shouted as if to dissuade him.
It probably seemed like an act of throwing away one’s life.
But there is no reason to back down. Because we trained so hard to protect the village.
“Ha. Was it the guy who ran away?”
“I wonder what the young guy believes in installing it.”
Ching!~
The warriors drew out their curved swords.
But even for a moment.
Whoosh!!
Rowen, who lifted the Auror onto the iron club he had brought separately, passed by the warriors in an instant.
Bah!!
Sigh!!-
“Wow!!?… .”
“Geuaaagh!!!!”
Two enemies fell down with a crash.
Rowen is a 6-star swordsman.
He received direct instruction in meteor sword techniques from Dirus and was taught by numerous knights. A tribal warrior who could only use a sword a little was not his opponent.
“It doesn’t make sense… Rowen!… … .”
“Profit!!! Everyone, catch that guy!!”
“Kill it!!!”
About 7 people.
Warriors flocked in, but Rowen calmly swung his club and knocked them out one by one.
Kang!!!!!
Bah!!
“Quaaaa!!”
Whilick!~
puck!!!
“Ugh!!
It didn’t take long.
What knocked out all the warriors watching the village.
However, instead of killing them, he took out a rope from his subspace pocket, bound them all, and threw them on the floor.
And turned around.
“All… Nice to meet you.”
The villagers were gathered in one place.
He was looking at his actions as if surprised.
“Rowen… What happened?”
“Brother Rowen?… Is it okay?”
“How could this happen…? .”
However, there are not many people.
In the past, the tribe numbered over a thousand people… Now, at best, there are less than 200 people.
Because they all died in the war.
If left as is, they would have been taken to enemy tribes and lived like slaves, or they would have naturally blended in and their tribal identity would have completely disappeared.
Rowen wanted to stop that.
I wanted to revive the tribe.
but… Know.
He couldn’t take care of them all on his own, and he didn’t want to keep going through this war.
So I persuaded him.
“Why don’t you all follow me to the north? There is a peaceful land there. Everyone can get along well… It’s a cozy place.”
Let’s all come to the Kingdom of Leonis.
Come to where Venus is.
As the actual boss of Venus, he can take care of and feed them all. If Ronica finds out about this news, she will help in every possible way.
I really didn’t want the people in my hometown to suffer.
but… .
“Rowen… If you really think like that, we will follow suit. Now that you have come back, you are no different from the tribal leader of this place. but… Is that really your truth?”
The oldest grandmother said.
He immediately sensed what Rowen wanted from his powerful strength and stern eyes.
Isn’t there a different meaning?
Why don’t you keep leaving it alone?
Revenge.
“… … … But.”
“We are okay. Wasn’t it your father’s will that you not forget your blessing? We will all be together even if we die.”
“… … … .”
The worries didn’t last long.
Because I will take care of both.
“Everyone, please raise your weapons. It doesn’t matter if it’s farm equipment. But we won’t fight. Please take care of yourself while we are away.”
“What does that mean?… .”
“War alone is enough for me.”
“Rowen! No matter how strong you become, you can’t do it alone-”
“Please trust me. I am… This is Daejeon Temple Rowen.”
“Alternative… .”
“If there is no news for 3 days, go up north first. If you find Venus in the Kingdom of Leonis, she won’t let you go.”
Rowen was determined.
Revenge of my hometown.
To avenge my father.
Their salvation.
Liquidation of silver.
Everyone will finish it with their own hands.
It could be dangerous. Because the enemy is a tribe with many strong people who have trained like you.
But I’ve already made up my mind.
“Brother Rowen… .”
“Rowen… .”
“Rowen… … .”
I see some familiar faces. Many people are worried… .
“Please trust me. I will definitely come back.”
I had no intention of going back on my decision.
I took a step back.
This is something that must be completed by one’s own hands.
Trudging.
I took a lonely step.
If we talk more, it will be difficult for both of us.
He turned his back on everyone and moved out of the village and disappeared into the distance.
But Rowen didn’t know. A wagon train arrived in the village a little late.
“Hello! This is Rowen’s friend.”
“Well, what… .”
“Who?… … .”
Ronica.
After getting off the Venus carriage, she smiled cheerfully and ordered her subordinates.
“Let’s eat first!”
To provide food.
Behind them, hundreds of Venus warriors were fiercely guarding Ronica, and a black-haired man was standing right next to her.
“I guess this is Rowen’s hometown. This is the place I saw through my past life.”
“So you came to the right place?”
“Yes.”
Dirus.
For some reason, a powerful being called the Phantom God followed Rowen without his knowledge.
*
“Lower pressure!!!”
visor!!
Kwakwak!!
Wow!!!
“Kaaaa!!”
This is the 20th person.
He knocked them all out with a club, not a sword.
Rowen, who attacked the enemy tribe alone, looked around at the warriors surrounding him.
There are two 5-star warriors.
There are about 10 3-4 star warriors.
The rest were about 70 ordinary warriors.
They are just one of the large tribal villages made up of many like-minded tribes. Therefore, the number of enemies did not exceed one hundred.
Of course, there is no way that Rowen, who has only just reached 6-star, can beat them all.
Is it because of that?
“Hahaha!! It was pretty amazing, but what are you going to do by coming alone? Stop giving up.”
“Ah- Could it be you? Is this the son of the Trellia tribe chief who died in an unsightly manner? Sigh. It was quite a while ago. The sight of a child running away while screaming.”
“I wish I had lived like this and pretended not to know. You’re bringing four people to yourself for no reason.”
Enemies insulted and provoked Rowen.
But he is the president of Venus.
Sze-
I put my hand into my subspace pocket.
Of course, it couldn’t have come without any measures.
The information here has already been secretly collected. Just as if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win every battle, so I brought with me several tools to prepare for situations like this.
“There are many technologies like this in the North.”
“ha? What are you trying to do… .”
“It’s a magic spell book that you can’t get.”
Squeak!!
I took several pieces of paper out of my pocket and tore them up.
A spell was cast along with a halo of light.
Paaaa!!!-
Pushuuuk!!
In an instant, fog sweeps around.
All kinds of buffs surround Rowen.
Swish!!
In that state, I hid in the fog and ran through the gap in the building.
“Damn it! The guy runs away. Catch it!!”
“Residual talent.”
“Just try to get caught!!!”
There is still a lot of scrolling.
Rowen tore up the spell book again as he ran away.
Each order book is expensive, but to him, it is simply a consumable item.
There was no reason to save.
Faaaa!!-
Flame bomb.
Ice spear.
The shaking of the earth.
Fist of the Earth.
Lightning sphere.
Sticky slime mine.
A cold wave hits.
Kwaang!!
Hiss!!
Kuguk!!
Stop it!!
“Kaaah!!!”
“Blood, damage!!!”
“This coward!!!”
A mountain of confusion.
The warriors were so confused that they were unable to chase Rowen and tried to escape the magic range.
Shoo!!
But the fog spreads again. Perhaps because he brought multiple copies of the same spell, Rowen covered the village with fog endlessly.
Crash.
And then he wore a mask.
An item airlifted from the tower.
⊙︎ The mechanic’s breath.
It blocks radiation and poisonous fog, and allows you to see ahead even in dense dust or fog.
Put the aura on the club again.
fault!!
Charged towards the enemies.
Pak!!
“Aaaah!!?”
I hit him with emotion.
In this way, we defeated each enemy one by one.
*
“Please save me… Please at least have children… … .”
“Whaaaa!!! Mom!!… … .”
“How did this happen…? .”
All warriors were defeated.
Several villagers who were watching came out in front and hugged the child and begged for forgiveness.
Rowen looked at them silently.
Revenge begets revenge.
Rowen knows that well.
Because it is proof that he lived.
Therefore, we imprinted the fact on them.
“Raise your head. I didn’t kill anyone. I just came to let you know that the Trelia tribe is alive and well.”
“Yes?… .”
“Ah, no one died.”
By that time, most of the fog had cleared.
The villager, who was watching, checked the fallen warriors. All had bruises or fractures, but no one was breathing.
Rowen said:
“I don’t want war. I have come to condemn you who have treated our tribe like slaves, and I have come to cut off all ties by myself!!”
“What… .”
“So, let’s see the final result. Tell this to the chieftain. They said they would invade each village one by one. All I want is the head of the great tribe.”
One object of revenge is sufficient.
The one who killed his father.
There was no need to create a revenge monster like yourself by killing others for no reason.
All resentments will be cut off with this.
but.
“Well, that’s funny bullshit.”
Toad deuk deuk.
Plop, plod.
“… … What about you?”
Why?
Near the village entrance.
A large man wearing a feathered helmet and pauldrons appeared.
His true identity is Trakan, the chieftain of Stonecragji.
Behind them were about 200 troops. The tribal leader takes turns inspecting the village every week, and it happened to be today, and the timing was perfect.
‘this… ‘I should have understood it more clearly.’
Rowen swallowed his troubles.
Although we have made many preparations, it is not enough to deal with those troops and the tribal leader right now. In that case, it would be best to run away… .
“Arthur. You are already surrounded. Runaway bloodline of the Trelia chieftain.”
It’s already late.
I had no choice but to face the great tribal chief.
“You remember me.”
“Okay. I knew the look in your eyes. I knew I would come back someday.”
“… … … .”
I was cornered.
I can’t see a way out. I’ll probably die at this rate.
I have to protect my hometown people.
I have to go back to Venus.
All of that goes to waste.
‘under… Dying while fighting in vain like this was unplanned… … .’
It was at that point that my face crumpled like that.
A shout was heard from far away.
“For the great warrior Rowen of Trelia!!!”
““Uuuu!!!!!””
“What… .”
A loud roar was heard from outside the village.
When I suddenly look at that place.
“Rowen is our family!!”
“For Chief Rowen!!!”
“Rowen!! You can never lose!!”
Villagers are coming.
Children, the elderly, and women. Of course, if they are unable to fight, they are willing to run. To share your will.
But it was also disappointing.
If they rush in, I can’t protect them.
In the end, he himself will do his best to kill and everyone will fall into war.
Wrong.
This is something I can’t stop-
“I’m the boss!!!!”
“We are here!!!!!”
What?
Hundreds of Venus warriors were running next to him, as if protecting the villagers. No, now I see that there are children and old people riding on the warrior’s back.
“Huh, what are they talking about?”
“What kind of guys… … .”
The enemies also looked back.
A majestic shout and charge.
At the front, you can see a large golden fist.
Next to him was Lionel, the Knight of Venus.
They are all wearing black military uniforms and running with a majestic appearance. They are even armed with clubs like their own.
“How?… .”
Rowen couldn’t help but feel defeated. I obviously said I was going alone, but why… .
“Ha, hahaha… … These things I’m thankful for.”
It was already being read.
They knew their intentions. What they had prepared, what they were going for, and where they were going. They were keeping all their information.
because.
“Loweeeen!~ I’m here to help!!!”
The sky is a little higher.
Ronica and Dirus are seen riding the Lexia.
Andrew is also waving from the side.
These are already my colleagues. This is because we are a precious second family that helps and helps each other. It was no different from Venus’ unspoken rule.
Ronica used to say this once in a while.
Be together when you can’t solve it.
Then the way will open.
“Really… I can’t stop you.”
I don’t like that they came to help out on their own, but I’m not angry at times like this.
It’s time to be thankful for our absolute allies.
So for now, let’s live up to expectations.
“Everyone follow me!!!”
“Wow!!!”
When he shouted that, the villagers and warriors shouted in unison.
I was thrilled.
There was nothing to be afraid of.
“What strange things… Block it, block it!!!”
“Where are the strange northern peoples!!!”
That’s how the war began.
*
“With this… It’s all over.”
War.
The result was, of course, Rowen’s victory.
There was an overwhelming victory, and only one person died.
Most of them fainted after being hit by the warrior’s club.
High Chief Stonecragji was beheaded and killed after a fierce one-on-one battle with Rowen. The rest either surrendered or were beaten down.
It’s all over.
The situation has been resolved.
There will be no war anymore.
Is it because of that?
The oldest village woman, who had first recognized Rowen, approached.
“Rowen… You grew up beautifully. Your parents will be proud when they see this.”
“No. I was a cowardly fugitive.”
“No! Brother Rowen is the best warrior!”
Before he knew it, the villagers surrounded Rowen. Everyone praised him and comforted him.
A warm sight to see.
“Hehe… If I had told you sooner, I would have helped you.”
“This is a guy who trained with his own will. He probably wanted to end it with his own hands.”
“Still~”
Ronica and Dirus smiled happily.
An all-rounder who takes care of Venus and strengthens his subordinates.
Because I stopped him from going astray.
With this, the war ended.
Now it’s time to go back.
*
The enemy tribe was disbanded, and the Trellian tribe fled upwards in search of freedom.
Polisha Village, where Ronika is the lord.
All the residents welcomed us warmly.
And Rowen… .
Venus Headquarters.
“Ronika. Andrew. thank you so much. Thank you too Blacky. This grace is absolutely-”
“Stop! What is between us?”
“That’s right! If you had told me, I would have helped you a long time ago. Ba~bo!”
I was stopped from thanking Ronica and Andrew.
“I have grown a lot, but I am blocked by a wall. I will help you with your training for the time being. The place is… okay. A bankruptcy house with Erica would be nice.”
“Ugh!?… … .”
He was forced to undergo training under Dirus.
However, I have solved the problem of the past.
Rowen still has a long way to go.
The growth of Venus’ all-round worker has just begun.
BONUS: Side Story – Moon.
Width, width… .
A small child walked through the forest.
Has it been about 5 years now?
A young girl with red hair walked through the forest alone, as if she wasn’t scared.
And at some point.
“… … yes… .”
He made a strange expression.
The place the child arrived at was the entrance to the forest where the village of Polisha was visible. and… It was under the shade of a lushly grown tree.
Tuk.
I sat there.
As if he likes it here.
Ko… .
I had a restful sleep for a while.
*
Early moning.
Kentubria city.
Where Venus headquarters is located.
Squeak~
A customer came into the first floor.
A young child of 5 years old. With her red hair flying, she headed straight to the counter where the Venus employee was.
“Oh my? A cute little customer, huh?”
“… … … .”
“What’s going on? Have you ever lost your way?”
“… I want to find it.”
“Huh?”
Almost accurate pronunciation for a 5 year old. However, he continued to say things that were difficult to understand.
“A person as pretty as the moon.”
“… E?”
“Do you know?”
“Well… Me?”
“… Kuuuu… … .”
“Aren’t you so disappointed!?”
The child lowered his head as if disappointed.
In the end, the waiter calmed the child down well and listened to the story in more detail.
but.
“The moon. A person like the moon.”
“He’s like the moon, but still… … Do you happen to know the name? Even in appearance.”
“… I don’t know. But it will be beautiful.”
“Ugh… Can you tell what kind of relationship it is?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know who you are, but are you looking for me?”
“Yes.”
“… I see… … .”
I had no idea who the child was looking for.
Name unknown.
Not relevant.
The only clue is someone like Gondal.
In the end, the waiter dismissed the child as looking for someone from a fairy tale. It’s nice to look pure, but… I didn’t know how to get along.
Is there money to demand information in the first place?
Probably not.
He must have come here without knowing anything.
In the end, I changed direction.
“Child, what is your name?”
“None.”
“Uh, none?… Who are your parents?”
“None.”
“… Really?”
“Yes.”
“Then where did you come from?”
“… … Moon?”
“month?… .”
“I don’t know.”
“… … … .”
The waiter sensed something strange. A child who does not know his own name or his parents.
in other words.
‘You’re an orphan!’
Venus policy.
If you find an orphan, recruit him as best as you can, take him to the orphanage, and give him food. Following the manual, the employee asked again.
“Don’t you need a place where you can eat and sleep comfortably? Can your sister take me there?”
“… … I decline.”
But whatever.
The child politely declined and turned away.
In “?… … .”
“I’ll just go. Please tell my story to others.”
Toddler~
He left without a moment of hesitation. By the time I tried to catch him, the door had already opened and he had disappeared.
“Why are there all these kids?… … .”
He was a somewhat absurd child.
*
Jump up.
Fiona jumped up from the bed.
It was a strange and mysterious feeling.
This… .
“Attracted.”
Paaa~
For a moment, his eyes turned blue. I felt like moonlight surrounded me.
however… That’s it.
The exact cause was unknown.
There’s definitely something there, but I don’t know what it is.
But you can’t just sit still. I cleared all my thoughts and focused.
I thought about what I should do right away.
To know the right path.
“… 1st floor!”
I don’t know why.
I just felt that way.
hook!!
Get on it!
I ran quickly down the hallway and stairs.
And then arrived at the first floor.
“… Fiona?”
The employee looked at him in confusion at the sudden appearance. Anyway, Fiona looked around and found something.
“… … Illusion?”
I couldn’t see anything.
frustrated.
Master Isabel would have noticed right away.
He can see the right path, but he cannot see the wise path like Isabelle.
What should I do?
What should I do?
I feel anxious for no reason.
Faaaa!!-
I raised my strength.
Moonlight leads the way.
Blue eyes opened and looked into the past, scanning the surroundings.
But now it is morning.
The red moon did not even rise.
A state in which one’s abilities do not work well.
Nevertheless, Fiona opened her eyes wide at the blurry scene.
“… !!”
At first glance, I saw red hair. The moment I saw it, I felt uncontrollable trembling.
My heart beat faster.
The pupils vibrated.
So you can’t move.
Tadadat!!
I went straight out the Venus Gate.
The employee who was looking at this muttered something like this without thinking.
“… moon… … same?… .”
*
“Fiona said that?… .”
“Yes. For some reason, I feel like I need to tell you… … .”
Ronica, who came down for breakfast, opened her eyes wide at the waiter’s report. That’s because I heard the news about Fiona.
Dirus also expressed doubts.
“That’s strange. He’s a calm guy no matter what happens, but he ran away in such a hurry… .”
I wasn’t worried because he was a strong guy, but I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.
If only that were all.
“It was strange that the red-haired child asked if there was anyone as pretty as the moon. It’s like you’re talking about Fiona.”
Listening to Ronika’s words, I found it very strange.
Who was that child, and why did Fiona rush outside alone?
You don’t have to think about it to know.
In times like this.
“Let us help!”
“Sure. Somehow… I think I definitely have to do that.”
She helps directly. Fiona is an indispensable and valuable colleague and friend to the two. If it was something important, I naturally wanted to help.
Therefore, the two called Rowen.
Medis, of course.
Even the military unit was summoned.
It may not have been a big deal, but they were willing to move for Fiona.
In this way, the net spread across the entire city… .
Cheonnajimang (天羅地網).
The net for two people was completed.
*
Toddler!~
The red-haired child confidently walked around the city alone.
The place she headed to was the market.
Snack on snacks.
I was drawn to it without knowing why.
About market food.
I’m sure I don’t know the way, but is it an innate intuition? I just knew it right away.
I walked along the market street.
These are all coveted foods.
I wanted to pick one up right away and put it in my mouth.
Jureuk… .
My mouth is watering.
Oh my~
It seems like he is possessed by greed.
I walked to the front of a store and looked at the snacks. Then the store lady spoke to me.
“Would you like to try this?”
Small cookies cut into squares.
Suddenly.
The child immediately grabbed it and brought it to his mouth.
Grumpy.
Mumbling.
sweet taste.
I felt better.
I looked ahead again.
I wanted to eat more cookies.
however.
“No! Because you can’t buy these snacks without money. Would you like to bring your parents with you later? So you’ll be able to eat more snacks?”
Called.
He thoroughly fulfilled his role as a merchant.
In short, do you want to eat more? If you want to eat, bring your parents who have money… That’s it.
Unfortunately, the child had no parents.
“… … … .”
I just looked at the snack in silence.
“No! Because it doesn’t work anymore. Go now. You have to bring money or bring your parents.”
“… … … I understand.”
Sze-
I turned around with a sad face.
However, before he could take a single step, he noticed someone looking at him.
The blue-haired wizard was looking at herself. Fiona, who seemed to have already shed tears, was making an indescribable expression.
At this moment, the child remembered one keyword.
“month?”
It is certainly.
She is as pretty as the moon.
What he had been looking for so long.
Soon, Fiona approached the child and held his hand without saying a word.
“… … … ?”
Okay.
Side by side, without conversation.
I looked at the store again.
“Huh? Who is it?”
“… The one here. Buy them all.”
“… … What? Really?”
Nod.
Fiona immediately took out several gold coins from her pocket.
“Huh!!… Thank you!!!!”
The lady bowed very politely.
However, as if it didn’t bother her, Fiona held the child’s hand and pointed to the snack.
“… Whatever you want.”
“Wow!”
The corners of the mouth rise significantly.
The pupils opened very wide.
Swish!~
Tup, tup!!
Ahhhh!!
The child eagerly stuffed the cookie into his mouth.
*
“… You didn’t need our help.”
Isabelle eating cookies.
Fiona watches it.
and… .
Ronica, me, and the Venus people who found the back of it laughed helplessly.
“I see. however… Who is that kid? Something… … .”
“Yes. I think I look like Isabelle.”
Ronica answered before she could finish speaking.
“… no way… … .”
I looked at Ronika for a moment.
I felt an unknown certainty.
That kid… .
Perhaps an incarnation of Isabelle.
Or reincarnation.
I looked ahead again.
Two red and blue girls.
As I looked at the innocent child, a smile appeared for some reason.
“That store… Let’s buy it.”
“… That wouldn’t be bad either.”
Without knowing anything about the situation yet, I prepared a gift for the two while feeling Isabelle’s unknown scent.
*
Oh my~
Truly~
Fiona and the child walked down the market street together, holding one hand.
There was no doubt between the two.
The child wonders why Fiona, who suddenly appears, is so kind to him and guides him like this, and why Fiona spends time and money to move with him for a child she has no knowledge of.
No such conversation took place at all.
just… .
The conversation continued with a lot of things skipped over.
“Who am I?”
“… You are Isabelle.”
“Is that my name?”
“… … huh… .”
“Yes. I am Isabelle.”
“And… I am your teacher, Fiona.”
“Master. Master Fiona!”
“… … … .”
When was it?
Fiona closed her eyes and thought.
A fond memory that vaguely comes to mind.
He came to me while I was just walking without knowing anything, told me my name, and gave me food… About his precious teacher.
I finally remembered
The teacher’s expression that day.
A ray of moonlight bloomed in the eyes of a teacher who wanted to die alone and drunk.
The teacher was holding back tears as he looked at himself.
What was he originally?
That’s unknown.
But I know that we are precious to each other. That will continue forever.
Witches take care of witches.
Witches have always been looked after by witches.
It is as soft as moonlight, but it turns gently and blooms again.
I haven’t heard anything.
I realized that it was so.
“Master. I think the red moon will rise today.”
“… together. caliber… Let’s do it.”
“Yes!”
So let’s celebrate the birth of a new witch.
*
Venus Rooftop.
The moon rises.
Isabelle lay down with her head on Fiona’s side and looked at the moon happily.
Fiona hugged Isabelle and looked at the moon.
The moon rises higher and higher.
The two girls looked at the moon.
Time passes.
A red energy rose from Isabelle. The moon began to turn red.
The two girls still just looked at the moon.
We look up at the sky while holding each other.
There was no conversation.
I felt my body temperature.
Time passes again.
The moon has risen high before we know it.
Sreuk~
A blue energy rises from Fiona. The moon gradually begins to turn blue.
At the same time, the moon goes down.
The two looked at the moon together.
Time continues to pass.
Immerse yourself in the quiet moonlight.
Then.
Ugh~
A round disk came in front of the two.
For some reason, the disc that no one was riding stopped in front of them and started shaking as if it wanted to ride. Finely divided ice crystals scattered beautifully around Lexia, tempting the two.
Isabelle and Fiona looked at each other in silence.
I looked at Lexia again.
Ugh~
The worries didn’t last long.
We boarded the Lexia together. Lexia floated on its own and guided the two.
Isabelle cheered.
Fiona’s mouth also opened.
Beautiful snow started to fall.
In a beautiful view. Red Isabelle and blue Fiona laughed together.
Enjoying the moonlight.
In the distant future.
A beautiful memory that Isabelle will remember.
Moonlight also smiled at the lovely appearance of the two.
However, it fades to its original color.
Disappearing into an unseen place.
But it was okay.
Nevertheless.
Because they were both as beautiful as the moon.
They spent the night immersed in the moonlight and fell asleep tightly together.
BONUS: Side Story – Boring Art Trot.
It’s boring.
There is nothing to enjoy.
[Ha~ It’s extremely boring.]
A remote snowy mountain in the north.
Artrot, wearing a scarf made of silver fur and sunglasses, muttered. Unfortunately, there was no one to listen.
I built a hideout looking for a place to rest and cool down, but no one came to play.
I can’t help but be bored.
Is it because of that?
Strangely enough, an ice palace and several ice sculptures were visible at the top of the snow mountain.
Besides that.
A scarf made directly from Dirus’ mane.
Several clothing items purchased from entertainment venues.
My favorite snack that I am now sick of.
The numerous objects lying around were all the result of boredom.
[I’m so bored!]
Atrot is a spirit.
There are many restrictions on action.
In other words, there are few places you can go.
Fortunately, as the string of the soul contract became thicker and the regression side effect was lifted, there were no major restrictions on falling far away, but as long as Dirus did not enter the tower, she had to be stuck in the spirit world or a corner of Edeline.
For Artrot, this world was small.
As you can see, he is playing alone in a remote snowy mountain.
Normally, I would have watched Dirus running around getting hit here and there, or watched the ambiguous romance with Ronica… .
I’m tired of that too.
No, I got bored as Dirus opened his heart and got along with Ronica.
It was fun at first, but… .
I guess it was a taste I got tired of quickly.
It was better in the past, where it was ambiguous, slightly frustrating, and closer to love little by little. Because it wasn’t boring because I was trying to burn my heart out.
So what should we do now?
Artrot is bored.
Building and sculpting ice castles and playing alone in a corner like this is now boring. Because of my pride, I can’t ask him to play, and I don’t feel like going out to the city and eating snacks by myself right now.
New stimulation is needed.
New entertainment is needed.
But nothing comes to mind right away.
I have pretended to be a king many times.
I’m tired of making fun of others.
Showing off one’s strength isn’t a thing anymore.
The beautiful production using sculptures and ice is a level of mastery that can be performed even with one’s eyes closed.
blast furnace… .
[I want to fight after a long time!]
I really wanted to move.
Whilick~
It gained wings and flew into the sky.
As it happens, Dirus is Etheline’s strongest man. Of course, I am stronger!!… He is also the only opponent I can fight comfortably.
So we headed straight to the city.
[I’ll show you the greatness of this body after a long time!!]
I imagined trampling Dirus.
I imagined Dirus kneeling.
It was a simple art lot filled with excitement from a brief moment of imagination.
*
morning.
Kentubria city.
Venus Headquarters.
[I will teach you a lesson!!]
Atrot approached Dirus, who was eating at a restaurant, and suddenly said that.
But the answer that came back was not cool.
“… Are you bored these days?”
“Spirit King… Would you like to play with us?”
Dirus looks at you pitifully.
Ronica looks at her pitifully.
I couldn’t help but be confused as to why he was looking at me like that.
[W-what are you talking about!!]
“You wander alone here and there endlessly, but you don’t last long before you come back.”
“You’re not around us often these days… .”
[that… Okay! Shut up and fight with me!!]
“… … … .”
It’s a bit far-fetched, but… .
Once you achieve your goal, that’s it. In the end, Dirus nodded with a sigh.
The fight between the two was concluded.
*
Snow mountain.
[Pahaha!! Give yourself more strength!!!]
Damn it!!
Kwagwagwagwang!!!
Wow.
This guy is really annoying.
Artrot suddenly came and challenged me to a fight, running wild with an excited expression on his face.
Has this guy accumulated a lot during this time?
Were there a lot of things that made you feel frustrated?
no… Are you really lonely?
When I think about it, he was always watching us alone or going somewhere else to play.
These days, I don’t think I’m satisfied with that either… .
[It would be better to throw away random thoughts!!]
Kwakwak!!
Damn it!!
Atrot excitedly draws out my mana, throws an ice spear, and freezes the entire area near me. He unleashed several blows.
I didn’t use golden energy and only used skills, mana, and morale to deal with him.
It was possible for me to be where I am now.
Because I got stronger.
Shit!
Wow!!
His ice spear and my sword collide.
Every time, his ice tried to freeze my sword as if it were swallowing it, but I can also use ice. It wasn’t that difficult to shake it off before it froze.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Artrot is weak.
This guy has also become much stronger.
The strength against ice has become stronger.
My understanding of spearmanship is much higher than before.
He must have secretly trained because he was inspired by me.
but.
Ice thunder + stacked large slash.
Kugwagwagwagwa!!!
Jwajwajwajwa!!!
Damn it!!!!
Whoa!!-
[Huh!?]
Art Trot flew away with a strong aftermath.
After all, there is no way I will lose.
[Phew… As expected from my contractor, he is quite good. But it’s not enough to overcome this body.]
“… … … ?”
this… .
No matter how you look at it, I’m winning, right?
[Come. I’ll teach you one more trick!]
what?
“… … Don’t you think you’re losing?”
[shut up!! If it were the spirit world, you would already be dead!!]
“This is not the spirit world.”
[Hey!! I go first!!]
Whiik!!
Kwaang!!~
what.
We clashed for quite some time.
It was clear that he would be upset if I won, so I fought as evenly as possible. Of course, that’s right, in reality we clashed violently.
If I let my guard down, I too am a dangerous strong person. Thanks to that, I was relieved of some of my stress. This is because there has been no situation in recent times where there would be a confrontation with a strong person.
The same goes for Artrot.
As soon as the fight was over, the guy looked refreshed, unlike at the beginning.
[Pahaha! How about the teachings of this body?]
“… what… … It was a good match.”
[Of course. Look up to this body. Quickly kneel down and worship me!!]
“I refuse that.”
[Tsk. You are stubborn.]
“Who is more stubborn? .”
Huh~
As we were chatting for a moment, Lexia came down from the sky in front of us. It was Ronica who was watching our match from the sky.
“Spirit King was really cool!”
[Ph, phhaha!! As expected, unlike this black guy, you have eyes to see.]
Swish~
At Ronica’s words of encouragement, Atrot happily lifted his shoulders and climbed on top of Lexia. Then, after lying down comfortably, he gave an order.
[But, I’m a little tired. Now go back and give me some delicious food! I’ll leave the cooking up to you, Ronika!!]
In “… yes Let’s all eat together!”
As expected, Ronika is kind.
It was a good fit for such an unruly Art Trot.
If it wasn’t for Ronika, Atrot would have nagged me all sorts of things.
He’s really the same guy all the time. Well… It seems like you’re feeling a little lonely, so let’s all play together today. For friends.
Whoa~
Returned to Venus.
*
Dinner time.
Venus Restaurant.
Ronika’s own fried chicken, boiled meat, and rich seasoning. And there were plenty of side dishes and desserts laid out on the table.
[Phew! The dish is much more heartfelt and flavorful than the food outside. This is great skill!!]
Artrot likes Ronica’s cooking.
This is because there is an overwhelmingly higher chance that it will taste better than eating it outside. Ronica’s cooking skills were that outstanding. Since I was twelve years old, I trained myself to eat it, so it couldn’t be tasteless.
and… .
There was one being that always appeared when this delicious smell came out.
“I want to eat too! Me too!!”
“Oh, don’t run away on your own!!!”
Little Isabelle.
Fiona is the person in charge.
It’s these two people.
This little Isabelle is one of her students that Fiona brought in not long ago, and may have been her teacher.
Fiona says that that child is Isabelle’s reincarnation… I don’t know if it’s true. However, when I feel the moon’s protection, which is evidence of a witch, and see the food being revealed, I somehow understand it.
That guy… .
Because I really liked eating snacks.
Even now, he looks like a little kid.
ah… .
It’s just very cute.
Anyway, I think she’s Isabelle’s reincarnation, so she and Ronika are taking good care of me.
It’s okay to say she’s Princess Venus.
“I’m going to eat it! Please give me too!!”
“Do you want to eat? Then would you like to sit here?”
“Yes!!”
Width~
Isabelle sat next to Ronica.
Atrot was sitting right next to him, and Fiona came next to him.
“… Isabelle. Phew. Troublemaker.”
Fiona shook her head.
Parenting is not easy. There were some dark circles under Fiona’s eyes.
Did you run out once in the night?
They’re the same witch, but their personalities are completely opposite.
So 5 people.
Ronica
me.
Little Isabelle.
Art Lot.
Fiona.
We sat around the table in order.
“Now, enjoy! Because it’s a special dish that I worked hard to prepare for hours!~”
“Ronika. Always grateful. Good meal.”
“Wow!~ Ronika, I’ll eat well!! Ah!~”
Tup.
Isabelle was the first to pick up the spoon, and Ronika and I looked at her for a moment, then cut up a piece of meat and fed it to each other.
Fiona also started eating her meal.
and.
[Hmm… … .]
For some reason, Artrot, who wanted to cook the most, was the only one who didn’t pick up the spoon.
Her eyes were on Isabelle.
Come to think of it, I stayed in the snowy mountain for a few days.
This was the first time he had met young Isabelle.
I’m watching closely.
Then at some point, Artrot.
Deep~
He picked up the meat and held it out in front of Isabelle’s mouth.
“Puang!~”
Tup!
Isabelle took the meat into her mouth without hesitation.
As if that wasn’t enough, he stuffed another food into his small mouth.
The cheeks look puffy.
[Pfft.]
Did you like that look? Atrot picked up the meat again and fed it to the guy.
“Kua!!”
Tup!!
He looks intent on continuing to eat.
Width~
Next, he placed his hand on Isabelle’s head.
Pat pat~
Isabelle didn’t care and continued to eat her food defenseless.
Does Artrot also like cute things?
The corners of his mouth are slightly raised.
“Nyang~ Nyam. Give me more!”
[Hmm… .]
Thanks to this, an amazing scene was created.
Atrot picked up each piece of food he wanted to eat and offered it to Isabelle, and Isabelle took what he was given without any hesitation.
Isabelle could easily eat several times as much food in her tiny stomach.
me too.
Ronika too.
Fiona too.
I looked at the scene in wonder.
Isabelle’s appetite is great, but… .
I couldn’t believe that Artrot smiled and cared for others like that.
[Phew! What is your name?]
“ja will move here. Mnnyam… .”
Isabelle accepted Atrot’s questions while chowing down on food.
[Hmm? Ijwaville? okay. Ijwaville. Aren’t you curious about who this body is?]
“Puung… A sister as beautiful as ice.”
[Hoo?]
“Banjjang! Pretty sister!!”
[F, pahahaha!!! okay. You know me well. This body is Atrot. Take note!]
“Turn!”
… It was from this time.
What caught our attention was Artrot.
*
city streets.
[Pahaha! How do you feel? Are you cool?]
“Yes! Ice sister is amazing!!”
Little girl Isabelle. The guy rode the wooden horse on Atrot’s shoulder and roared.
It’s summer now.
Atrot’s cool chill enveloped Isabelle.
Art Trot these days looked exciting. This is because she stuck close to Isabelle and took care of her to the point that it seemed like she was her mother.
“… Isabelle… … How can you leave a teacher?”
Thanks to this, Fiona looked down and looked down.
Although Isabelle had a naive side, it seemed heartbreaking that she would blindly follow anyone and leave her side so easily.
Of course, it’s not all bad.
“But comfortable.”
Isabelle is an energetic child.
On the other hand, Fiona has a quiet personality. The burden of raising children, which was so difficult that Dark Circle suffered, was greatly reduced with the advent of Artrot.
In other words, after getting enough rest, you can do your best when playing with Isabelle.
Ronika reminded me of that.
“Fiona~ The Spirit King is also a good person, so he will take good care of you. It will be very safe. So, how about taking this opportunity to take a break and play nice?”
“Positive… But I’m the one really in charge! Can’t lose. Let’s play together!!”
Of course, Fiona is also stubborn.
He was probably worried that Isabelle would follow Atrot more than him.
Tadat!
The guy immediately followed Atrot.
I said this while looking at the three who went ahead.
“Those three will stick together for a while.”
“Yes. I was always worried about being alone, but I’m glad that the Spirit King looks happy.”
“Okay… Thank goodness.”
Happy Artlot.
I felt relieved without knowing why.
Due to his personality and pride, he had a tendency to stay alone and not bend to anyone. The only exception is when you take care of those who are weaker than you.
This is the case with Medis, for example.
I had taken great care of Medis in my previous life.
Next, take care of the weak earth spirits.
I don’t know if I should put it in that category too… I received a lot of help from him when I was weak.
And now little Isabelle.
At this time, Isabelle is full of energy, follows Artrot well, and is even cute. It’s said to be enough to steal Artrot’s heart.
Is that all?
Fiona also follows Artrot well.
Artrot also likes Fiona.
Isabelle is also added to this situation.
The best situation for a bored Atrot.
so… .
“It looks good.”
“Yes.”
I was satisfied with the current situation.
If that guy hangs out with Isabelle and Fiona, he will unintentionally start talking to us more.
The distance will gradually become shorter.
Your self-esteem will also soften.
In the end.
okay.
We can get along well as friends.
Eat.
Ronica and I looked at the back of the three of us.
Isabelle cheers on a wooden horse.
Hahaha~ Artrot smiling.
Fiona follows next to him.
It was like a painting.
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Sure.”
Pook~
I walked holding Ronica’s hand.
Even though the summer sunlight was a little hot, I was helpless against the chill of Art Trot.
I had a refreshing walk around the market.
Let’s all enjoy snacks together.
BONUS: Side story – This is drunk.
[invitation.]
━︎Dear Baroness Ronica Poltricia.━︎
[To celebrate the 5th anniversary of His Majesty’s accession to the throne of Emperor Aselus, we invite you, Baron Plitsha, a distinguished servant of your country. We hope that you will grace the occasion by attending the banquet. Considering the special nature of the Paultricia family, up to three acquaintances are permitted to attend the banquet.]
“Black ahhh!!!~ Let’s go together!”
“A royal banquet?”
“Yes!!”
As soon as Ronica received the letter that had been sent to the capital, she came to me with an excited expression.
royal banquet.
Evaluating art.
Or watch a play.
dancing.
Talking.
Or drinking alcohol.
A party where you can socialize until late at night.
what… To put it simply, let’s go on a date.
The letter said that up to three people could be brought along. Perhaps King Acelus came up with this trick to invite Ronica. If you ask her to come alone, Ronica will refuse.
Thanks to me, Fiona and others. Friends around me can now join in as well. Then, naturally, Hysterion and Andro would also participate.
You used your brain.
Well, Acelus will probably want to become as close as possible to us.
Because it was also the base of his power.
If you go, they will treat you well.
“Then I guess I should practice dancing.”
“Heeheehee… .”
“… … Why are you smiling so much?”
“Do you know how to kiss the back of a nigger’s hand?”
“Why is that… .”
“That’s because a nigger has to escort me! Come and ask me in a nice way. Beautiful girl, dance with me!!”
“… … … … … .”
anyway.
There is nothing wrong with participating.
A special date.
Banquet hall date.
Or public dating.
We will become closer. You will be able to enjoy it to the fullest without worrying about others like before.
So, I made a plan right away.
Banquet participants.
Ronica.
Fiona.
me.
and… .
This is Isabelle, a young 5 year old.
A cute guy who stole Fiona and Artrot’s hearts. He’ll probably feast on them at this banquet.
As expected, this guy is clearly the reincarnation of Isabelle. Maybe Luna reincarnated Isabelle as a final gift.
There are many mysteries about the Moon God’s abilities.
… Anyway, it’s okay as long as it’s cute.
We decided to take it together.
“I also received an invitation.”
For reference, Medis participates.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s an official noble, but he received a separate invitation.
That’s not all.
Astradic.
Lapis.
Aleph.
etc.
They also participate in the banquet.
Let’s exchange news through letters. After hearing about Ronika’s participation, they said they would attend the banquet with their respective families. We all ask to meet together and play again.
but… .
If this happens, there will be as many as three couples.
I feel sorry for Aleph, who is stuck alone.
Of course, it’s none of my business.
“This time, let’s practice with a normal feeling. From kissing the back of your hand!”
“… … … That’s right.”
After the goal was set, I danced under the moonlight at night with Ronica.
A banquet seems like an excuse… .
Well, what do you think?
It would be enough if it was fun.
Holding hands.
Whirring~
“Aaaah~!”
Let’s dance together.
*
afternoon.
Leonis Palace.
Spacious banquet hall.
“Baron Lonika Paultricia is entering!!”
Boom~ Boom~
So la la~
Me, Ronika, Fiona, and Isabelle entered the banquet hall with exciting and cheerful music.
As you can see, today is the day of the royal banquet.
I walked on the red carpet with a light heart.
At this time, young Isabelle tilted her head and followed Fiona, holding her hand tightly. The desire to pet it soars when you see its cute appearance. When he grew up, he looked like a drunkard… .
It’s beyond cute.
Now, if you just hand out a snack, tup! This is an innocent child who holds your hand.
I continued walking while admiring the view.
As I walk a bit, many eyes are drawn to me.
Among them, a group of Ronica, including Medis, Hysterion, and Andro were waving their hands.
Also, a man named Marquis Cardin, Estella’s closest associate from the empire, also participated and slightly bowed his head to Ronica.
and… .
Chalosi instructor at the training center.
She is also present here and is smiling while looking at Ronica.
In the background, children from the training camp were also seen.
Now that I think about it, they said there would be a friendly match.
I guess we’ll have a blast this time too.
“Ronika~”
“Hey hey. Baron Ronica? We are just children of a noble family.”
“What!? Do you keep tagging me?”
After entering, I had a chat with my friends.
After the entrance ceremony was over.
“His Majesty the King will speak!!”
“Thank you all for participating-”
Similar format to before.
After Asellus’ introduction, welcome, and congratulatory address, the banquet began with music.
“This is delicious! I want to eat more!”
“Wow~ It’s cute. Who is this child?”
Pat pat~
“Kkuang?”
At the same time, Ronica’s group surrounded little Isabelle and showered her with affection. I also secretly joined in and stroked my head.
“Stop! Quit! Isabelle, come here.”
“Kkuang~”
Then, Fiona picked Isabelle up and ran away, putting a cookie in her mouth.
[Phew. Let’s go together.]
Before we knew it, Artrot, dressed in a ballroom suit, also appeared and stood by Isabelle’s side. It was a look in his eyes that he didn’t want to give to others.
There is no more to say about this backstory.
Had a great time.
In the meantime, Acelus secretly came to ask how she was doing, and Estella’s close associate, the Marquis Cardin, came and showed his kindness by saying he would invite her to the empire sometime and treat her on a grander scale.
In addition, I met a variety of people.
Lapis’s mother looks warm.
Astradik’s father, who seems serious about everything.
Nobles who entered various political circles.
Unlike before, we talked once in a while.
After spending some time like that, a friendly match was held. For your information, after becoming king, Acelus invited top students from training centers or academies to each of these banquets and had them engage in friendly battles.
It is to raise more outstanding warriors.
For reference, this friendly match will be played in such a way that the winners will face off against senior warriors.
Ronica watched the scene as a senior.
“Would you like to participate to exercise your body?”
“Huh?”
“I already applied and brought my weapons. Hehehe.”
“Ugh~ This sparring villain.”
Astradic broke in in the middle and killed the juniors… Anyway, time passed safely and the night came when the full moon rose.
The proper banquet starts now.
It started early considering the friendly competition and the size of the banquet, but the banquet was originally held in the evening.
After King Acelus’ reign of the warriors was over for a while.
Enter and admire the art while listening to relaxing music.
Someone sings a song.
Simple entertainment such as card games.
We continued chatting over drinks.
And soon after, the ball began.
The music changed and they started dancing one by one. The men and women who made eye contact with each other, or danced out of courtesy, to liven up the atmosphere.
Of course I danced with my student.
“Le, Lady Lonica. Would you please dance with me?”
“Oh. The nigger’s face turned red!”
“… … … .”
Let’s skip these minor issues.
If it’s fun, that’s enough.
We danced the normal dance as we practiced, and Ronica’s group was no different. Interestingly enough, Aleph seemed to be dancing as if she was flying somewhere, probably because she had caught eye with a noble lady.
It looks like that guy has finally found his mate.
After dancing like that, take a short break.
As I was doing that, several people came up to me and said hello and talked to me.
Since Ronica was not well known to the outside world, those who approached her were mainly people from the Empire, nobles who were close to Hysterion, or juniors from the training center.
It may be a bit annoying, but the student accepted the conversation with a big smile.
But there was one problem this time.
Kwadang~
Someone passing by nearby tripped and fell, and perhaps because he was embarrassed, he suddenly started blaming Ronica next to him.
“Keuhum! What are you doing now?”
In “… .”
“It’s because of you that I didn’t fall!!”
However, it is a familiar face for some reason.
He looks like a middle-aged nobleman… .
Flash.
Fiona’s eyes shot up in anger.
“Gregory! Garbage instructor!!”
“What, what!? for a moment… You guys can’t believe it… profit!! Why are you guys in a position like this!!”
Surprisingly, the identity of this person is instructor Gregory.
This is a guy who once taught noble etiquette at a training center, and he failed Fiona’s test and was humiliated again after trying to humiliate Ronica.
I knew he was caught for internal corruption after the training center was reorganized… .
Looks like he was released on bail.
“Ugh… I never thought we would meet in a place like this. I suddenly felt bad.”
“Huh. It’s rude for a young guy to talk! If low-class people like you came to a banquet like this, you should have noticed. Ugh~ Who on earth brought these things in here?”
Of course, no good words were exchanged. He just tried to disparage Ronika’s dignity.
However, it was not a good choice.
Because someone came from behind.
“That’s strange. Is there something wrong with the guest I invited?”
“Hmm? who… Huh!!? Your Majesty!… … .”
King Acelus.
He knows Venus and Ronica well, and has received a lot of help and support. Of course, there was no way I could watch something like this.
That’s all.
A person from the empire noticed it like a ghost and came to visit.
“Who are you to treat a benefactor of your homeland so rudely?”
“Da, are you the Marquis of Cardin of the Empire?… .”
Next, Count Hysterion opened his eyes brightly.
“Who dares act so rashly towards my dearest Baron Paultricia?”
“Count Hysterion!?… .”
The Chalosi instructor came up next to him.
“That’s strange. Gregory. Isn’t it normal for you to be in prison?”
“Ugh… Chalosi. To you.”
Besides that, a bunch of Ronika.
Royalist people.
Junior warriors.
Everyone glares at him.
Gregory felt himself becoming dizzy.
There was nothing to see after that.
Because I had at least some sense.
“Sorry, sorry!!”
Plaster capital sin.
He forgot all the etiquette of a proud nobleman and knelt down and bowed his head as if he was going to bow.
But it was already too late. Acelus was forcibly kicked out of the banquet hall, considering that he made a fuss alone and argued with others.
I’ll ask you again later about the severity of the crime.
You will never see this again.
Hysterion will probably take care of it later.
Let alone entering politics.
You will suffer from poverty in the future.
It’s good if you don’t regret leaving prison.
“Foot.”
“Kya~ Be refreshed.”
“As expected, the king has good sense?”
We returned to the harmonious atmosphere and enjoyed the banquet again, as if it had never been before.
Astradic introduces Lapis to his father, and Fiona kidnaps Myorin without knowing when and hands it to little Isabelle to touch. Aleph made eye contact with a noble lady and began wandering around. Hysterion talking to multiple people.
And so on and so forth.
The banquet, which had been inconvenient before, now went by happily and quickly.
It was not just a place for social gatherings like it used to be.
It was a place of true exchange.
Is it because of that?
It’s already late at night.
The banquet is already over.
After the awards ceremony, greetings, and words of gratitude, they left one by one. But someone says again. The banquet is real now.
This is because close friends who met at the banquet gather separately and continue to interact.
in other words.
“Our party is not over yet!”
Ronica’s group also gathered there.
There was no problem because they provided additional dining tables and rooms for small groups. We all sat at the square table in the well-decorated room.
“Myomyung~”
I took a seat with Myorin creeping up on my head.
On the left was Ronica, next to her was Fiona, and little Isabelle was sitting on her lap, and on the right were Ronica’s group, starting with Medis.
“I want to touch you! I want to touch that!!”
At this time, little Isabelle stretched out her hand to Myorin above my head, her eyes shining.
Sze-
“Myook!?”
I immediately picked up Myorini and handed it over.
“Kkuhahang!!~”
“Myo… … .”
Isabelle hugged Myorin tightly, rubbing her cheeks and playing with her ears and tail. It seemed like she was healing just by looking at her.
Ronica’s group looked at the scene for a moment and then slowly started talking.
However, the topic of conversation is… .
“You guys know how to drink, right?”
It’s alcohol.
widely!!
Astradik took out a bottle of premium-quality liquor and showed it to everyone.
“Alcohol?… I haven’t tried it yet.”
“Hey hey. Are we adults now? I’ve already mastered it, but shouldn’t you try it too? So it’s a bet! Whoever lasts long wins!”
“Grunt… Do you feel good when you drink alcohol?”
“I already tried it. The taste… Don’t expect anything.”
Of course, there was no one who had ever properly drank alcohol except Astradic and Aleph.
No, maybe there is? .
Flash.
“Me, me! Write!… I want to eat!”
Young Isabelle stretched out her hand with sparkling eyes.
Is it an instinct from a past life? You don’t even know what it is, but your mouth is watering.
“Prohibited! Absolutely prohibited! Isabelle is still a minor.”
“Kkuuk… no. I hate Fiona’s teacher.”
“Pfft!!!?… … … .”
Fiona’s face turned ashen.
He seemed shocked by Isabelle’s words.
There was a brief commotion, but eventually everyone drank except Isabelle. If I spoke to the attendant outside, they would bring me some refreshments, so snacks were no problem.
Ronica’s group started talking about various things, starting with the betting on alcohol.
I heard that today’s banquet was fun.
I heard that instructor Gregory was a shame.
The Chalosi instructor has become prettier.
Isabelle touching Myorin is so cute.
etc.
Even though it was a trivial story, it was enjoyable.
This is especially true because of alcohol.
People who tried alcohol for the first time expressed the strange feeling of being intoxicated and even said that it was no big deal and that they could drink more.
and… .
The same goes for Ronica.
“Sigh… Drinking isn’t a big deal hehe… … .”
“Puhaha! That guy took that.”
“No!! Feeling drunk… … Black~ Right? I’m fine, right?”
Pook~
Ronika clings to me.
I held him up to prevent him from falling for no reason. Ronica’s face, flushed from alcohol, came closer.
“Hehe… The black guy is always handsome.”
“… … … .”
Sigh~
I just stroked it without saying a word.
Ronica’s first drink. Like most people, Ronica was nothing more than an ordinary good person. No, the guy who was always so smart and clever showed himself defenseless like this, and it just seemed even cuter.
Did you realize my feelings?
“What about me?~ I’m pretty?”
“Pretty.”
“Hehehe… Tell me again.”
“You’re pretty.”
“Hehehe~ Even black people drink more!”
After a moment of embarrassment, he shifted his weight again and poured a drink into my cup.
Is it because of that appearance?
Suddenly, Lapis made a surprise attack.
“Ronika. When are you going to get married?”
“Hot!!“
“Hmm… .”
While Ronica was startled, everyone’s attention was focused on us except for little Isabelle, who was eating a cookie.
It seemed like a topic I was quite curious about.
however… .
Although we’ve been dating together, we haven’t thought much about marriage yet.
Marriage… A deeper relationship.
A much deeper relationship… .
Tap!
Suddenly, Ronica grabbed my face with both hands.
“Negro… I’m so shy!~”
“… … … .”
“In the world! I’m waiting~ When will the black girl confess~”
“That… .”
For what reason?
My heart started beating rapidly.
Am I also intoxicated by alcohol?
Or, am I just confused?
If not… .
“Please hurry up and tell me.”
ah… .
This is definitely due to the atmosphere.
I was wrong for a moment.
I’m drunk.
He must have been drunk. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to say this.
“Ronika… I was thinking about it a long time ago. I want to promise you my whole life.”
“He, hehe?… .”
“Gyeo, getting married… … .”
“Yes! Let’s get married!!”
Ronika responded before I could finish speaking. For a moment, I felt like I was floating above the world.
There was no proper proposal… .
The die of fate has been cast.
Everyone watched as witnesses.
Now this relationship cannot be reversed.
so that.
“My child~~ must be really cute, right??”
Hearing those words, I had to turn my heated face and avoid eye contact.
BONUS: Side story – Followers of Necropolis.
“Hmm… … .”
Venus 1st floor.
I sat down at the table and touched my chin.
I quietly recalled the situation two days ago.
that day… At the after-party, I promised to marry Ronica and even set a date.
That is, one month from now.
Me and Ronika are getting married.
Confusing.
Of course, I was satisfied to see Ronica struggling the next day with a loud noise… How did it end up like this?
“Phew… .”
“Ha… … .”
hmm?
I looked to the side.
At this time, I saw Rowen sighing with an expression similar to mine.
“… What are you doing here?”
“Oh. Black guy. that is… .”
Honestly, I understand without even asking.
Perhaps a big problem has occurred.
Rowen is a very powerful person.
Information and money. With these two things, everything can be solved in Lowen Sun.
Why does he sigh like this?
There is a high probability that something outside of one’s capabilities has occurred.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to listen to the guy’s concerns as he was in a state of confusion.
Okay.
“Tell me.”
I moved to his table.
I quietly listened to Rowen’s story.
“That… It looks like the followers of Necropolis are up for another fight. After the training camp incident, he seems to have been hiding and gaining strength without anyone knowing, but recently there have been signs that he is about to reveal himself.”
Follower of Necropolis.
Or a group of warlocks.
It looks like they will show up again.
Buy hunting dogs in bulk.
Illegal trade in reagents is increasing.
The distribution of magic materials is concentrated in one place.
All the warlocks recorded as persons of interest have disappeared from their original residence.
It definitely looks like something is going on.
I thought back to the past for a moment.
“Followers of Necropolis… I remember the training camp. If I had stayed a little longer, a terrible massacre would have occurred.”
An ugly ritual to summon an Arch Lich.
If it weren’t for me, an entire city might have been destroyed.
“So you’re trying to stop it?”
“Yes. It must be stopped. In fact, children from the place where a new orphanage was being built went missing. The problem was that it could not be taken care of because it was not completed.”
“Is this what they did?”
“High probability yes. When we traced it, traces of black magic were discovered. They are the only ones who can do this on this scale.”
“Did you come up with an alternative?“
“Yes… It’s not a fundamental solution, but it will reduce the damage. But you never know when and where it will happen… … .”
“… That’s right.”
Followers of Necropolis… .
If you think about it, I am the messenger of Necropolis. Even Ronica is the daughter of the castle lord. Rauf is the husband of the castle lord.
I think it will be easy if you use this well… .
Whatever.
Even though this body is like this, it is Edeline’s strongest.
There is nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it. To calm my anxious mind, I need to do some work.
“I’ll solve it.”
“Yes? Really? Oh, no. Thank you!”
“That’s all I have to be thankful for.”
After making the decision, when Ronica woke up, she told Rowen about the situation, attracted Rauf, and left Venus together.
“That, the drama… Have a nice trip!!”
Normally, Ronica would have said she would go together, but perhaps because of the aftereffects of being shy after drinking, she was able to come out separately this time.
Ronica is shy. Seeing her cute appearance somehow gives me strength.
Let’s finish it quickly and come back.
*
The first thing I did was.
“Well, I don’t know.”
bankruptcy debt.
A production room built in a corner of an old-fashioned palace. I visited the warlock under Erica.
Was his name Regnet?
This guy has already reached a high level of 5-star level, and has now entered the ranks of high-level artifact creators.
Is it because of that?
“I have already lost contact with them for a long time. I really don’t know anything!!”
Almost all connections with the followers of Necropolis have been severed.
It’s plausible, but… .
Is that really true?
Whatever it is, an interrogation will be necessary.
First, I implemented the plan I had in mind.
“Look at this.”
Okay.
I held out the back of my hand to the guy.
“Gasp! Stand, stand, stand, no way!! Ugh, what is that mark!!?”
“Hoo. You recognize me too?”
The mark of Necropolis appears on the back of the hand. The guy was startled and quickly corrected his words.
“Mo, there’s no way you can call me something you don’t know. I’ll tell you everything honestly! In fact, we secretly cooperated little by little to summon the savior!! .”
As soon as he saw the mark, his attitude changed.
Mark of the Necropolis.
As a follower, he recognized him immediately. Thanks to that, things have been smooth since.
“You lied at first.”
“Sorry!!!!!!… If I had known it was Lion, I would never have done that!!… … Well, are you really the messenger of Necropolis?”
“What does it look like to you?”
Whoa!!-
A very deep fraud. A concentrated energy that was close to death itself, along with the likeness of a white bone messenger and an undead king, flowed out at him.
“Heui profit!! Mi, I believe it!!!”
“Then let me ask you a few more questions.”
“Yes! Ask me anything.”
The interrogation continued.
How do they secretly communicate with them and what plans are they making? I could hear everything the followers were doing.
To summarize roughly.
The followers went into hiding after the training camp incident. And they have been preparing and strengthening their power for several years to summon a powerful demon-like undead who will lead them to a worse perception.
When I asked who he was summoning, he said that there was an undead he was currently in contact with.
Really… … … .
There is no development at all.
Isn’t it almost identical to the training camp incident?
“You must have heard. Rauf? Our goal is to kill the devil and bring him back.”
“Ha… I understand.”
Rauf answered from behind.
He had been forcibly brought to me.
To take care of the troublesome cleaning up.
I set off with him.
To find the undead guy myself.
Since there is an activated gate, it is a matter of defeating the devil and bringing it in. It is very easy if the lord of the castle provides information.
We went to the tower for a while.
*
A wooden house built in the mountains.
A laboratory hidden underground.
“Hehe. The great world is not far away.
A man muttered like that.
Gillette Redmont.
He is a person who can be said to be the leader of the current group of Necropolis followers.
Several warlocks sympathized with him around him.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
“Because you can’t live in hiding forever. Hehehe.”
“It is time to show our power to those who do not know the greatness of black magic.”
Currently, 10 outstanding warlocks are gathered here. Of course, this is only part of the story. If you gather all the followers, you will become a group of hundreds of powerful warlocks. If you all gather in one place, you will have the power to easily take over a city.
But that’s not what’s important now.
A very powerful demon he met in the tower.
The devil, who made my stomach tingle just by looking at him, made a suggestion to me. He said that if they followed him, his wishes would be granted.
Therefore, a summons was prepared.
The ceremony had been prepared without anyone knowing.
There may be some sacrifices… .
Let’s use his power to spread their greatness in Ethelin –
Pak!!!!
“I’ll give you 10 seconds. Kneel.“
What?
Someone proudly opened the door to his hideout and came in and arrogantly said something like that.
Of course, this is an unacceptable situation.
“Who are you!!”
When I saw it right now-
Coogoo soup!!!
Hwaaa!!!-
“Ah! iced coffee… … .”
dump.
A powerful energy and force that sweeps through the whole body.
A fraud deeper than that of any demon or undead.
My body suddenly trembled.
At some point, I fell to my knees.
“What on earth… .”
“Ah… Such pure fraud.”
All the warlocks knelt down at once and looked at the mysterious person.
There were two people standing at the door.
Black haired human.
Dirus.
knight in armor
Lauf.
At this time, Rauf picked up something he was dragging and threw it on the floor.
Hook~
Degurrr.
It was a demon corpse with horns and wings.
“Huh!!!?”
Redmont couldn’t help but be surprised.
This is because the demon he had made a contract with appeared as a lifeless corpse and was abandoned.
How did we get here?
No, why is he dead?
I felt my thoughts becoming paralyzed.
At this time, Dirus spoke.
“The guy lived on the 77th floor. name is… Oops, I forgot. But, were you just trying to solidify your position by following this devil?”
“You… Who are you?”
In response, Rauf stepped forward.
“Ha… .”
Had we already discussed it?
He sighed and took off his helmet, revealing the face of a handsome young man.
That moment.
Saruk~
The mark of Necropolis appeared on his forehead.
Naturally, it was a sign that the group of Necropolis followers could not have known. That’s also why they climb the tower.
“… Huh!!?”
“That’s it!!”
“No way!!… Seriously, are you the messengers of Necropolis!!?”
A very confusing situation.
Everyone opened their eyes wide as if in denial.
But I can’t help but believe it.
“Don’t you believe it?”
Phew!!-
“Ah… … .”
It’s a level of shame and fraud that I can’t even imagine. Because this was real.
I felt excited.
This is the situation I had longed for.
Perhaps aware of those feelings, this time Rauf came forward and made the proposal everyone wanted.
“Follow me. I will raise your standing.”
This day was a new starting point.
They were possessed by the powerful energy of Dirus and swore allegiance to the two, and soon all the Necropolis followers gathered together.
All major events have been halted.
Free all hostages.
All rituals were stopped.
Because it is no longer needed.
Stop following it now.
With the great being of Necropolis who will open a new beginning for them.
*
Southeast of Leonis.
If you go down to the bottom of Pasanchae, you will see a mountainous area and a river with nothing in sight.
Because it is a border area, there is not even a village built… Not anymore. Because the followers of Necropolis gathered here.
Village construction costs and materials are Goliath.
Insufficient manpower and labor force lead to bankruptcy.
The village was built in an instant.
and… .
The most important thing.
“My, this is the village you built for us. And we also have a magic tower!!”
“Keuheuk. I was thrilled… .”
Magic Tower.
A black magic tower will be built here.
Foundation work is already underway to build a tower in the center of the village.
The Magic Tower is an institution that nurtures various wizards and develops magic. With this, many warlocks will be tied to the magic tower, and all outstanding warlocks will come under my command.
However, I have no intention of letting them install it as they please.
I need to correct it properly.
Originally, black magic was not evil magic. It was purely a magic to deal with the powers of death and fraud, but rather for medical purposes.
However, because its power is so strong and it is easy to use for other purposes, it has now been transformed.
I will fix that.
It will change the status of warlocks.
As I was also a master of black magic, I wanted to change Edeline’s perception of black magic. To do that, they need to change.
first of all.
No kidnapping.
No stealing.
Just don’t do anything bad.
Obtain permission when summoning undead.
Study of cadavers for personal use is prohibited.
Banishment if discovered, and my wrath.
Work fairly.
Those who pass through the village or wish to settle there will be greeted with warm hospitality.
And so on and so forth.
There are many warlocks and people with the wrong mindset from the beginning, so if they are not controlled, they might do something else.
This level of control is basic.
It would be nice now, but… .
They didn’t know. In Venus, this place is called Rebirth Village.
Their lives will be controlled for the time being.
I will have you use authentic black magic.
If it’s corrected well later, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to open a chimera hospital. Then, with the power of Venus, we will spread the word about this place.
Real black magic is beneficial.
It varies depending on the purpose of writing.
Then, they can move around with confidence, and people can also benefit from black magic. In the end, it will be a win-win outcome.
Now, more warlocks will be properly educated and benefit Edelin.
We will also produce weapons in cooperation with Pasanchae.
The weapon will be sold to a top climber.
Edeline’s power will rise.
In other words, my power has grown.
This is now Edeline’s small necropolis.
In times of emergency, they can be used to their full potential, and although that will no longer be the case, if an invasion occurs, all countries and groups will cooperate.
The country is under the link.
Edeline develops further.
“Phew~ I did it again.”
I am satisfied with this.
Let’s leave the remaining work and surveillance to Rauf and return to the disciple.
*
Do niggers know?
How much you have changed.
“hihi~”
You probably don’t know.
No, I wouldn’t mind.
Because he’s that kind of guy.
Cheee~
Swish!~
With that in mind, Ronica cooked in the Venus Kitchen herself. To feed the meat directly to the Negro who would soon return!
Maybe the black guy will come back and join us as if it was no big deal.
In reality, Edeline was changed like this.
After the Hwansin Church was established.
The Negro expressed his burden and seemed indifferent, but he secretly treated those who believed in illusionism well. He must have gotten used to it, but now he takes action directly when Edeline threatens him.
Like this Necropolis follower incident.
I’ve already heard everything about the situation.
Edeline’s troublemakers were transformed into excellent technicians in an instant. Also, a black magic tower is being built so that the technician can be formally raised.
If it had been in the past, would it have really been like this?
No way.
As expected, black people have changed.
For the better.
Thanks to those efforts, Edeline is entering an unprecedented golden age.
The relationship between the kingdom and the empire improved, and a peaceful balance between the two countries was achieved. Interest groups that benefited everyone appeared in succession, and criminal groups gradually decreased.
So, to put it simply… .
The nigger is the true god.
He is the only god who will take care of Edeline.
blast furnace.
“Ta-da!!~ Black guy. Tonight’s dinner is special cheese spaghetti with meatballs that melt in your mouth!”
Tup!~
As soon as the black dog arrived, I sat him down and clung to him.
This kind of god is his pet.
I wanted to be by your side forever.
Then, the black dog hugged him, flicking his ears and tail, and sniffing.
“I think I will feast today.”
“I knew that would happen and prepared a lot!”
I’m still embarrassed to talk about marriage out of anger… It’s okay now!
Let’s go with this natural flow and ask.
wedding venue.
Outdoor or indoor.
Its scale.
Guest.
dress.
etc.
Because there is so much to discuss.
“Geomdungang~ How many children will we have?”
“Kuhuh!!”
Although I did spit out food for a moment… .
Anyway, enjoyable dinner.
it was good.
I just liked everything.
I was so happy with this life.
After finishing our meal, we talked together and walked along the city streets with a beautiful night view.
Arms folded.
Or carry it on your back.
Putting your fingers into the animal’s ears, etc.
It was fun to joke around together.
After the conversation was completed safely, I followed Rowen and participated in the early morning training.
Unlike in the past, instead of one-sided guidance from one side, we could become training partners for each other. Because I am no longer weak.
Faba Park!!
Whilick~
Percussion!!
I had a lot of sparring with the black guy.
He has been working on controlling the power of his soul for several years, and now he has almost mastered it.
It doesn’t just get pushed around.
Paaaang!!!~
However, I try to relax as much as possible and only compete with technique, but I hear a loud impact sound. To that extent, the black man and himself became stronger than before.
That was also fun.
Being able to practice together.
That we can become stronger together.
Just anything is fine.
Isn’t it like a match made in heaven?
I want to get married quickly.
I want to get married.
and.
so… .
It’s embarrassing, but together in bed… … .
“Kyaaaa!!~”
Wow!!
Whoa!!!~
We bumped our fists together with a somewhat strange spirit. To be able to exchange fists like that… .
“Ah… The training center was taken away… … .”
One corner of the training center.
Rowen muttered lonelyly.
BONUS: Side Story – Another God?
Cheee!!-
Coo coo coo… … .
A volcano with lava flowing.
“Khehehe… .”
Deep inside the crater.
Slurp!!
The lava flowing underground suddenly coalesced and turned into a red-haired man.
“The long training is over. I can become anything. It’s Edeline’s new god!!”
The man’s name is Girgas. He is a unique slime intelligence that can overcome the limitations of all races and imitate or transform anything.
In other words, if you want, you can match what you are seeing in less than a second.
An incredibly powerful ability that even embodies one’s personality.
“Now… When I reveal my power!”
fault!!
After practicing for thousands of years, he soared above the crater with a light body.
There is nothing to compare it to with the God of Edeline.
No, now he himself is a god.
If you are yourself, you can be recognized as a god. Even if they are not recognized, it is enough to prove it by force and knock them down one by one.
He was confident.
If you want, you can easily hide yourself, and you can easily ambush and kill them.
“Hahaha!! This body is coming!!”
He appeared in this world excitedly.
*
Something was strange.
As a result of disguising myself as an ordinary person and asking many people about the God of Edeline, only one being was mentioned as the only god, who was the god of protection or something.
I felt strange about it and asked about it by name, such as Priscilla.
“What are you trying to do by finding that evil god!”
“Tsk. He’s a disaster god. There’s no need to know.”
etc.
He even showed his anger.
I wonder why he is remembered as an evil god… I learned one important piece of information here. that they are all dead. Those who were resurrected were called evil spirits, but were subjugated by a god called Dirus.
“… I need to find out more.”
Thanks to this, the plan was broken.
No, it has changed.
There was a need to learn more about the man named Dirus. Is he really a god, or has he attained his position through long training like himself?
What is your personality like?
What is the power like?
I need information.
So, he questioned people about their ability to change freely.
*
“The appearance of the Silver Phantom God was truly beautiful. Also, according to an eyewitness account of a fight against an evil spirit, he came down surrounded by a huge pillar of light and stopped the evil spirit’s atrocity, which was trying to destroy the city, with a single punch!… uh? But don’t you know that better than me?”
“… … greatness. Oh, no. I have something urgently on my mind, so I’ll go first.”
“Huh? Hey?”
Swish~
A boy ran away from his friend.
So I entered the alley.
Joo Wook… .
And soon after, the man’s body became mushy and turned into an adult man.
“I understand roughly.”
Girgas.
He spent several days researching everything about Dirus. Everything from high-ranking nobles to rumors from ordinary people like now.
It wasn’t difficult with his abilities.
Thanks to this, I was able to learn a lot about Dirus.
First of all, Dirus is a ghost.
The return of the silver mane.
It’s hard to believe that we witnessed him descend from a pillar of light that colors the entire continent, but even if the rumors are exaggerated, if it’s true that he killed Priscilla, it’s clear that he is a powerful being.
Additionally, Hwansu has contact with two characters.
Emperor Estella of the Empire.
Ronica of Kingdom Venus.
I was confident that I would be able to meet Dirus with these two.
To be honest, I wanted to go find Dirus right away, but no one knew his location and there were too few eyewitness accounts.
So, it was decided.
Let’s use those two people.
However, since it was a bit of a hassle to visit the emperor, I decided to visit Ronica.
It was very easy to find.
Venus Headquarters of the Kingdom of Leonis.
I’m staying in the city of Kentubria.
It’s also easy to use. Rumor has it that Ronica has a crush on a guy, and they date together almost every day.
In other words, all you have to do is disguise yourself as a man and approach him.
If you have the skills, you can easily fool them.
“Hehe. I have to go quickly.”
To become a true god.
Join hands with Dirus.
Either defeat him and become the one god.
In the end, you will become a true god.
*
Girgas arrived at his destination. He saw a man and a woman walking around the city.
Ronica.
Dirus.
The sweet appearance of the two people.
In response, Girgas disguised himself as a brick from an ordinary building and watched.
The road leading to the market street.
Two people pass right in front of them.
‘Hehe. Let’s take a rough guess first.’
Thousands of years of training had made his energy sense very sharp. At this close range, you can distinguish between the strong and the weak.
As a result.
Ronica is in the middle of 7 stars.
As for Dirus…
‘It’s normal.’
I can’t really know the level.
He was just one of the ordinary people passing by. Unless one could deceive one’s eyes, the man was an ordinary person.
‘The woman is truly amazing compared to her human age. It must have something to do with this guy named Shin.
So, keep surveillance like this-
“Hmm… .”
“Why are you like that? Black guy?”
“Well. It felt like there was something.”
“Huh?”
Dirus stopped.
I was just one step past the brick where Girgas was disguised, but I suddenly took a step back and looked at the wall where Girgas was.
‘What, what? ‘Could it be that you noticed me?’
For a moment, my composure was shaken. Isn’t it as if you are seeing yourself exactly?
A man who is obviously nothing… .
“Oh. There’s a little bell over there.”
“Little Belle?”
“Isabelle. Why are you alone? eww. Fiona must have sneaked out! Let’s go!!”
“… That’s right.”
Get on it~
The two people disappeared holding hands.
And not long after.
Sreuk~
What was once a brick melted and coalesced in the back alley, forming a human shape again.
“Hmm. Is there something wrong with my stomach? Well, the brick color was a little different… Ha, what are you thinking? I guess he’s just a person with a good sense of humor.”
Girgas shook his head.
He also couldn’t think that Dirus was a person with a much higher level than himself.
If you looked more closely at the man who was originally called Negro, you would have found that he was consistent with the name Dirus… Unfortunately, Girgas did not investigate that deeply.
In other words, surveillance continued.
He watched their every move.
*
‘It’s finally my chance!’
Ronica and Dirus separated. While playing with little Isabelle and eating snacks, Dirus decided to take her to Venus.
Thanks to this, Ronica was left alone on the market street for a while.
Would you miss this wonderful opportunity?
Sreuk~
“Keuhum! Ah.”
Girgas immediately transformed into Dirus.
I’ve already figured out everything about his actions, tone of voice, and atmosphere. Due to his own characteristics, he can imitate things surprisingly well even to himself.
Now all you have to do is trick Ronika and get the information.
After waiting for a few minutes, we charged.
I slowly approached Ronica, who was walking down the market street and greeting the merchants.
“Ronika.”
“Huh? Are you here already?”
I already thought of an excuse.
Because I kept eavesdropping on the story. It’s not a problem to make up their circumstances.
“I met Fiona in the middle. It seemed like he was also looking for Isabelle. So I sent Isabelle away and came back.”
“Aha. Is that so?”
“And… I have something important to tell you.”
“Is this important?”
“I’m too embarrassed to talk about it here. Can you follow me for a moment?”
“Of course!”
Girgas was not quick to ask questions.
Talking about God will definitely raise a lot of caution. If that doesn’t work, you have to threaten them to get information, so you need to lead them to a corner.
So, I entered the quiet alley I had seen beforehand.
Then Ronica came closer and asked a question with an innocent expression.
“So what do you want to talk about? Hi-Hi. Are you even going to talk about marriage?”
“That… There is something more curious than that.”
“What is it?”
“Can you tell me more about the ghost?”
“Return?”
“I suddenly became curious.”
“Welcome… Ugh… … He is a very strong and wonderful person.”
“Is that it?”
“Good. Not many people know about this, but I’ll tell you specifically. In fact, it is said that the phantom god transforms into a white-haired man or a silver phantom beast, but in fact, he can also walk around as a black-haired man!”
Contrary to what I thought, there were no boundaries. Ronica spewed out information about the Phantom God.
‘Hehe. ‘I guess you love this man a lot.’
This makes things easier.
Girgas continued to ask questions.
“Dark-haired man?”
“Yes! So adorable~ so shy~ so cute!”
“… … … ?”
“Want me to tell you something else fun?”
“I will listen.”
“Hwansin likes me very much? The best, the best, the best in the world! I like it the most!”
“You like it?”
“Yes! Hwanshin loves me so much that he can’t do anything without me!!”
“Well, I see… .”
Girgas secretly smiled to himself.
It’s almost certain that Ronica is related to the Hwanshin, but if they’re even close… .
‘Hehe… ‘It’s very easy.’
It’s a very good hostage just in case. After the story is over, you can neutralize Hwanshin just by kidnapping Ronica.
You will be able to dominate the conversation.
Things are going very smoothly.
But not yet.
I need a little more information.
“Then how did you meet Hwanshinnim?”
“Umm~ The Hwanshinnim I first met was very small and cute, so I took care of him. But as I found out, it changed significantly and gave off powerful powers. From then on we loved each other!”
“Love?”
“Hehehe… .”
“Hmm… So how strong is the ghost? Is there a scale that can be compared?”
“Very strong. Stronger than me!”
“More details-”
“And I am stronger than you.”
“… … … What?”
At this point, Girgas sensed something strange. That’s how unexpected Ronica’s words were. What does it mean to suddenly become stronger than yourself?
However, for some reason, I felt an instinctive sense of discomfort.
It feels like something is going wrong.
“Now I’ll ask. Why did you imitate my lovely husband?”
“What… .”
“Don’t you know yet? Who is the black-haired man I am in love with?”
“… … … Huh?”
As soon as I said that, I realized it.
He can transform into a black-haired man, and the being who made love to this woman is a phantom god. in other words… Has he now transformed into the form of a phantom god?
I never thought you would notice.
No, that man is a ghost?… .
‘no way!… .’
Thanks to you, I understood.
It wasn’t that the man from earlier had good eyesight, it was that he had noticed himself.
It’s embarrassing, but… .
First, I asked calmly.
“Since when did you know?”
“Breathing, smell, touch. Everything was different. It’s clumsy to imitate. And there was no love in the eyes looking at me!”
“You recognize it like that?… .”
“Of course, there are some thoughts and feelings that are not shared, and Blackie told me from the beginning. There is someone following me.”
“… … … You knew from the beginning… .”
The sense of discomfort reaches its peak.
Once this happens, there is no turning back.
Now that he is being taken lightly, he quickly overpowers Ronica, kidnaps her, and escapes from here.
A man is strong enough to not even notice his level.
The situation is not very good.
This method is best.
“Then be caught obediently!!”
Slurp!!!
Girgas’ body spread out like a liquid.
The essence of Girgas is slime. You can be anything you want.
First, if he swallows Ronica in a net and then disguises himself as a large man and escapes from here, everything will be over.
For sure… .
It was supposed to be like that… … .
“I told you. You are weaker than me.”
Kuhuuuk!!!
Sigh!!-
Suddenly, I felt a cold sensation that seemed to engulf my entire body. I felt a sense of constriction on my soul.
A blue aura abounds. Ronica is reaching out her hand towards herself spread out as a net. This wasn’t something I could hold on to, so I felt a strong sense of discomfort without knowing why.
And by then it was already too late.
Sreuk!
Whoa!!
The moment Ronica’s hand touched me, a strong current arose and my body moved uncontrollably, as if I was being sucked in.
wind?
enter?
absorption?
Maybe everything.
As if cutting a spider web straight with a stick, or like a long noodle, my body was dragged by Ronika’s fingertips.
Wow!!!-
‘This is ridiculous!!!’
There is no escape from this body shape.
As soon as he realized he was at a disadvantage, he returned to his human male form and clenched his fists.
Now that it’s like this, let’s face it-
Kuguk!!… .
“K!… … … .”
My body was shocked.
A powerful force is pressing down on you.
“I want to see more growth, but if things continue like this, there will be an uproar. So that’s it for now.”
When was it?
Where was it?
He felt a hand grabbing his shoulder.
I didn’t notice it at all. The man who had been walking with Ronica was standing right behind her.
If you move a little more here, you will die.
Such harshness and harshness weighs on oneself.
I could never have known this.
The opponent is much stronger than you. Even Ronica is in front of you right now, and you can’t guarantee a win, so if you fight them both at the same time, you’re sure to lose.
I decided quickly.
run away
Shuuuuk!!!
It turned into a liquid and slipped.
It seeps through cracks in the ground, so you have to evacuate to a faraway place first-
[He’s a very cute guy.]
Damn it!!
What?
The moment the ground soaked, my body froze. I couldn’t move.
I never thought they would freeze the entire ground… .
No, that’s not the problem.
The emergence of another strong person.
A woman who could feel the chill suddenly appeared, stepping on the ground she had soaked.
In the midst of all this, the voice of a ghost comes in.
“If you run away, I will consider you an enemy. What should I do?”
… You can fight back.
You can’t run away.
The answer was already decided.
[Please save me.]
BONUS: Side Story – The Activity of the Phantom God?
Secluded alley.
[I am… .]
“Speak normally.”
“… … Yes.”
Ronika and I brought down an unknown strongman who could change his appearance at will.
Fortunately, the guy didn’t put up any resistance after he was caught by Atrot and I while trying to run away after being punched by Ronica.
He’s probably the type that values his life.
Therefore, the interrogation was not difficult.
“What is your name?”
“This is Girgas.”
“Is that your true self?”
“… I am slime. It is now modeled after the image of the god of disaster.”
“God of disaster?”
“It doesn’t seem to exist right now… Once upon a time-”
I listened to the story all along.
Girgas’ true identity is slime.
It is said that he walks around in this way, imitating the appearance of the author who was said to be the god of disaster in the days when the gods of Edeline were alive and well.
Additionally, it can transcend the slime’s abilities and become whatever it wants to be.
It is possible to be bigger than yourself.
Even small objects are possible.
It is also possible to imitate temperament.
Any shock is nullified.
just… This guy has deceptive specs.
“Then why did you target Ronica?”
“That… I woke up after a long period of training to become a god, but the world has changed so much, hasn’t it? I approached this out of curiosity because all the original gods had died and all I could hear was that they were reincarnated gods… … .”
“There was no intention to kill, right?”
“Yes. Even though I threatened him, I had no intention of killing him.”
“Okay. There was definitely no way to live. So what do you think when you see me? Have your questions been answered?”
“… … Yes, yep. I realized that you are the true God of Edeline.”
“Hmm… .”
“Can you save me? Originally, I didn’t really approach with the intention of fighting… .”
Okay.
Ronika intervened.
“If you let me go, what will you do now?”
“… I will practice. I will become stronger and come to be recognized by you.”
“Recognition? Why?”
“Then I too can become a god!”
Girgas spoke with a burning sense of duty.
This guy… Although his strength and abilities were god-level, his intelligence somehow seemed a little lacking. Maybe it’s a limitation of the slime race.
No, judging from his approach to Ronica, he is smart, but his goals and ideals seem young.
Then what should I do?
Should I save it?
Should I kill him?
If such a strong being were to threaten people around me like before, it would be quite difficult. Given its abilities, if it decided to run away, it would be difficult to encounter it.
however… .
“Boo, please save me… … .”
Looks like a snarky puppy.
If you have great power, you usually become arrogant, but this guy didn’t have that. He probably was greatly discouraged by the gods of Edeline in the past.
Just seeing Priscilla and Gaia was amazing.
I wouldn’t have been able to resist with this guy’s abilities.
Thanks to you, I am worried.
This guy is one of Edeline’s few talented people. Wouldn’t it be quite comfortable if we could hug him?
And above all.
◎︎ Abilities are shared with Ronica.
◎︎ Soul Master is activated.
I can see the color of his soul.
A burning orange on pure white drawing paper.
I felt like I had a passion that was pure and wouldn’t give up, but the moment the passion deteriorated a little, it felt like the white paper would burn up.
what… He seemed like a child prone to corruption.
No, should I say that brainwashing seems easy.
I thought he would be a great subordinate if raised well.
Did you read my thoughts?
Ronika held out her hand first.
“Uncle Girgas. Don’t go to strange places alone; practice next to us. That’s the way to get stronger faster.”
“W, from the side?… .”
“Instead, you must unconditionally follow what we say. Then you will become stronger and become a god.”
“City, Shin… great! I will follow!!”
He’s definitely an easy guy.
I was seduced with just a few words.
A guy who even has useful abilities and powers. You can probably take on most annoying tasks.
That’s why Ronica smiled and said.
“And… Before you become a god, you have to learn what god does, right?”
“Yes? What does God do? .”
“Don’t worry! I’ll tell you.”
It was a time when great workers were created.
*
Under the Kingdom of Leonis.
Kingdom of Titania.
A remote rural town.
[I am the phantom god!]
“Waaa!!!!!”
“Hwanshin has come to help!!”
“Hail!!!!!”
The descent of a phantom god.
People immediately cheered.
This is because a person who took the form of a silver phantom beast appeared in the village sky.
This is a place where a group of marauders has recently appeared and caused trouble. The head of the criminal organization was a 7-star strongman, so it was difficult to hastily subdue him.
As proof, there was a party of strong warriors hired by the village chief at a great cost, but they were stuck in the enemy’s lair, unable to move.
The village has been plundered and all the money to hire warriors has been run out, leaving only despair.
The Kingdom of Titania was not interested in subjugation, and it was difficult to find talented people to subdue it.
How much more damage will there be in the future?
How much bigger will the enemies become?
How far will their magic reach?
A place that no one can know.
At that moment, a ghost came down.
[I came here after hearing that the root of evil is here. I will personally resolve this matter!!]
“Waaa!!!!!”
Naturally, people couldn’t help but be happy.
How could they not cheer that the rumored god himself had come to help them?
Of course, he is not the real Dirus.
There was no way I could take on such a troublesome task.
Busy playing with Ronica.
in other words.
‘Hehe. Everyone looks up to me. This is the perspective of omnipotent God!!’
treason.
It was Slime Girgas.
He continued, imitating Dirus.
[My followers will build a temple here and work toward the revival of this village as it was unfairly plundered. So trust me and wait!]
“I believe it!!”
“Long live the Hwanshin!!!”
Girgas was full of enthusiasm.
I truly felt omnipotent, like I was a god, and enjoyed the gaze of people looking up to me.
‘I will take care of your troubles to become a great god!!’
That’s why I worked hard at what Ronica instructed me to do.
After captivating the residents with his awe-inspiring production and elegant speech, he moved to eliminate a group of criminals who had settled down somewhere here.
They are a very dangerous group that could be considered a second Erica, but… There was no problem with him.
Girgas’ power is truly god-like.
He confidently headed towards the enemy’s lair.
*
Emerging crime den.
A larger and better-built underground living space than expected, created by remodeling a cave and underground.
“Ha.”
Boss of a crime syndicate.
Lavantaros.
He spoke to his subordinate kneeling in front of him.
“Are you telling me to believe that everyone was killed by a phantom god and only you came back alive?”
“Well, that’s… .”
It was absurd.
Why does a ghost suddenly appear here?
I heard that they descended on Leonis and Demitria in the north and prevented the Uk invasion… It sounds like nonsense to hear here.
At least it was that way for me. Because no god has ever looked into his situation.
That’s why I’m running around like this.
Here he is king and god.
What you say becomes law.
That’s what happens when there’s no one who can stop you.
All it takes is for it to spread its roots throughout the kingdom and devour it little by little… .
“Something like a ghost or something has appeared.”
Welcome back.
Perhaps he is the same person as himself.
The direction is different, but it is definitely someone who wants to rule over others.
And he must have reached out to this place.
“You dare to cross my territory. It’s a shame”
Lavantaros is a mid-7-star powerhouse.
Here, he is the strongest with nothing to be afraid of.
… It was like that until now.
[Who are you saying that to?]
Kuguk!!
“Kk!!?… .”
It’s like suddenly feeling powerful.
Looking ahead, he saw that his subordinate had turned into a phantom beast with a silver mane.
“What… .”
Girgas wearing the mask of Dirus. He had deliberately disguised himself as a subordinate to get the reaction.
Originally, I was planning to listen to what he had to say, but for some reason I couldn’t tolerate him daring to say that he found Hwanshin disgusting.
So I just revealed my identity.
To wipe them out.
“Who on earth are you!!… .”
[Don’t you know who I am?]
“Seo, are you really a ghost? that… profit!! Everyone gather together!! Kill this guy!!”
Labantaros, feeling a sense of crisis, called his subordinates. As soon as I saw him, I knew he was an opponent I couldn’t defeat, but if my subordinates could keep me on my toes… .
[no use.]
Kuhwaaa!!-
“Aaagh!!!”
“Ugh!!?”
“Wow!!… .”
Those who had never felt the same punishment. His subordinates fell helplessly.
“Ma, that’s ridiculous. How can you not even touch it? … .”
[That is the greatness of God.]
Whoop-
Before you know it, Girgas’ hand is stretched out in front of Lavantaros, who has turned pale.
Of course… .
I had no memories after that.
*
“Oh my gosh!~ Hwanshinnim. thank you. How dare I repay this favor.”
“Oh my god! You are the benefactor of all of us.”
“I want to become a believer of Hwanshinnim. If a temple is built here, we will make sure to spread the greatness of Hwanshinnim!!”
“Long live the Hwanshin!!!”
The name of the Hwanshin was called endlessly.
The villagers cheered all night long.
It’s not just this village.
Now the rumor will spread widely.
Death of Lavantaros.
Suppression of a group of criminals.
A phantom god came down and personally dealt with the evil group for the sake of the poor people.
This will serve as a ray of light for the corrupt Kingdom of Titania. It will not be long before the Church of the Phantom Gods takes root here.
Is it because of that?
[Chuck. It wasn’t a big deal.]
Proud~
Although he was Dirus’s double, Girgas spread his shoulders wide with great satisfaction.
He was weak to people’s praise.
in other words… He was apt for this job.
No, it was just pure.
Ronika was right.
If he doesn’t become corrupted, he will become Etheline’s hidden guardian.
He left the village with a cool look on his face and a raised nose.
And not long after leaving town.
Crackling!~
[iced coffee. Uncle Girgas. Can you hear me?]
I received a call from a communication artifact in my ear.
The sender is Ronica.
“Ah! I can hear it. Ronica.”
[Get things done faster than you think! If you just keep doing this, I don’t think there will be any problem with becoming a god.]
“Kuhuhuhuh… thank you However, through this incident, I realized how noble and valuable it is to become a god. If Ronica assists me, I, Girgas, will run anywhere!!”
[great! Then, go further south immediately-]
Girgas has already become Dirus and Ronica’s subordinate. At Ronika’s command, he squared his shoulders again and stepped forward to help people.
like that.
Penniless labor for Venus and the Church of the Phantom God… .
No, on the drawing paper, he was heavily painted over with good influence and continued his training to become a god.
At least as long as Ronica and Dirus are around, he won’t go astray. He will become more and more interested in helping people.
iced coffee.
Edeline was just so peaceful.
And it will become more peaceful.
In the name of Hwanshin.
BONUS: Side Story – Wedding (1)
One month was very short.
At some point, I realized that my disciple and I’s wedding day was approaching.
It’s already a wedding.
I didn’t prepare much… .
“Oh my god! Do you have any concerns?”
Girgas next to me asks that question.
Currently, the student is out shopping with Fiona and Isabelle.
It’s just me and this guy in the room right now.
This guy was always attached to me except when I was working. He said he would become a god and acted as my replacement, but before I knew it, he had transformed into a loyal subject.
Thanks to this, I’ve been hanging out with this guy these days.
It was Ronika’s plan, so there was nothing we could do about it.
Let’s get to know each other for the sake of our loyal subordinates.
Perhaps this is Ronica’s plan.
There’s nothing bad about it, but… .
Wow.
it’s bothering.
Should I answer that question?
Even if I say it,
What does this guy know about weddings?
Does he really know that it is love?
It probably won’t be of much help.
blast furnace.
“I thought for a while about how to prepare for the wedding. It’s not something to worry about.”
He said it lightly, as if to just understand.
However, Girgas’ eyes lit up at what I said and he stuck to me even more.
“Oh. As it happens, I’ve been possessed by hundreds of people and even gotten married dozens of times. I might be able to help you with that problem. Please, let me help the Hwanshin!!”
“… … … ?”
I tilted my head.
Girgas is a slime.
But have you ever bewitched someone and even gotten married?
how?
“I can imitate all the characteristics of the target. Not only can you do all the acts of love, but you can also fully feel the fun sensations.”
“… … Huh?”
“Gender doesn’t matter. Because I can be anything! Please tell me.”
I guess I just took this guy lightly. There is a difference between naive and pure. This guy may be pure, but he already knows everything. No, there is no guarantee that the life we have lived so far has been as pure.
Girgas is a slime that has lived for thousands of years.
It is a slime that can imitate anything.
After just a few minutes of observation, anyone can imitate the target’s personality, characteristics, and body language almost exactly. In other words, he must have experienced a lot.
Maybe it would really help?
“Keuhum. Girgas. Wouldn’t it be nice if the wedding was special?”
“Of course. Human women usually like special events.”
“That’s right… okay. I guess I should prepare properly now. so… Artrot?”
Flash!~
[Why am I suddenly calling you?]
“I need your help.”
[Is this my help?]
“Because your abilities are beautiful.”
[Phew. It’s obvious.]
“I want to hold an event at the wedding. I want to leave it to you, but is it possible?”
[It’s annoying, but… Tsk. Instead, give me your fur. There is something I need to make.]
“Oh? Are you listening right away?”
[that… This is only this time!! Just be thankful and move on.]
“Thank you.”
I prepared in earnest.
Girgas and Attrot help me. We were careful not to have our thoughts read by our love, and the three of us prepared for the wedding together.
A wedding will happen only once in our lives.
We need to create as special memories as possible.
Let’s do our best for us.
Let’s decorate beautiful moments.
*
“You have to make eye contact like that. I think it would be nice if it was a little more subtle.”
“You mean like this.”
Should I call it a groom’s class?
Somehow, Girgas corrected my attitude and behavior toward the wedding.
Girgas was very enthusiastic. She transformed into Ronica and made eye contact with me to practice my facial expressions and eyes.
Of course, I didn’t like the idea of Ronika doing that, so I had her change to a normal woman in the middle… It’s not an easy task either.
What on earth do deep eyes mean?
Girgas offered an alternative.
“Then think of me as your enemy.”
“… You mean like this?”
Squint your eyes slightly.
It seems as if every movement is pierced.
I just glared.
“Yes. Imagine seeing Ronica in that same state this time.”
Ugh~
“That’s it! That’s it!!”
“… … What on earth… .”
“If the atmosphere is right, that is the look in your eyes that will make women melt.”
Girgas said.
The basis of an event is the look in your eyes.
So, practice this for a while.
[Phew. This is truly ridiculous.]
Atrot laughed, but… .
Girgas was a better teacher than I thought. With less than three days left until the wedding, I began special training with Girgas, and from this point on, my student also distanced himself from me.
It would be like preparing for a wedding in your own way.
Wedding order and location, guest invitations, food, gifts, etc. It seemed like he was preparing hard with his two friends, Fiona and Andrew.
From the beginning, the entire wedding was planned by my student.
special place.
A special stage.
special audience.
special date.
Now, I guess we’re accelerating the finishing process.
I can’t lose either.
“What should I practice next?”
“Hehe. Do you know well what happened the night before?”
“Well, that’s… .”
“Huhahaha! Don’t worry. I will inform you well for Hwanshin.”
“What on earth are you trying to teach? .”
“First, let me teach you how to tear your clothes.”
“Huh?… .”
We each prepared for our wedding.
*
dark evening.
A villa in a garden.
Todog.
“Hwansin, please relax. Just move as naturally as you practiced, as much as possible!”
“… That’s right.”
Girgas cremates me. Surprisingly, this guy had just as good makeup skills as Andrew.
what.
Finally, this day came.
The wedding is about to begin.
That’s why I’m doing makeup like this.
When we first met, I never thought this day would come.
Before we knew it, Ronica had grown up a lot.
Today we become husband and wife.
My disciple is probably also preparing various things in another villa. And an hour later, the ceremony will be held in a specially decorated flower garden.
Thanks to you, I was nervous.
What is this that makes me tremble already?
After the makeup was done, I put on my groom’s suit.
A neat and sophisticated outfit that a nobleman would wear. My appearance in the mirror looked awkward.
It wasn’t that bad.
If you were my disciple, I’m sure you would view it favorably.
“Ready! Take a deep breath and move to the ceremony hall together.”
“I understand.”
I stood up.
I left the villa and headed to the flower field.
It wasn’t that far. I sat at the waiting area where chairs had been prepared in advance and secretly looked at the ceremony hall.
A wide rainbow flower field.
In the middle of it, there was a white building in the shape of a cage without bars, and numerous people were sitting on chairs prepared in advance, surrounding it as if surrounding it.
The audience is all familiar people.
Those who were painstakingly selected. I saw characters that would have made an ordinary person’s mouth drop.
Emperor Estella.
King Acelus.
Because the absolute rulers of both countries were guests.
They said they intentionally canceled all their plans and rushed to coincide with my wedding date.
They are amazing guys.
Besides that.
Training center leader Magnus.
Chalosi instructor.
Hysterion.
Astradic.
Young Isabelle.
Andrew.
Lapis.
Aleph.
Medis.
Erica.
Venus Knights and Warriors.
Venus’s early employees.
Some of Erica’s favorite subordinates.
Believers who dedicate their lives to the Hwanshinsyo religion? some.
Even the Venus Band from Goa is playing a calm and lingering song.
There was more than I expected.
Even though we tried to select them as carefully as possible, there were still hundreds of people.
And there is also an unexpected person: the messenger of Asgard disguised as an ordinary person.
Rocky.
Why did that guy come here?
Are you here to check my trends?
However, I am breaking into a cold sweat.
Because of the person right next to me.
Seongju John.
She participated in the ceremony disguised as an ordinary person, and was keeping an eye on Loki.
… I feel reassured.
There will be no problem there.
Next, I looked at the central stage.
A building that looks like a white birdcage. A blue-haired woman standing there.
Fiona.
For reference, Fiona is a hidden saint of the Church of the Phantom God.
Let me explain briefly… .
A time when the religion of illusion spread widely.
In my absence, someone was needed to control the Phantom Goddess in case of an emergency, and the mystical Fiona took on that role.
Therefore, I descended on the largest temple built by Estella in the empire and gave an oracle that a saint was born according to the play written by Ronica.
The saint is a mysterious person clothed in moonlight.
In other words, Fiona is the hidden highest authority of the Church of the Phantom God.
Since there is no Pope, Fiona holds the highest authority in the Church of the Gods. Of course, the Pope is scheduled to be created in the Empire a year later… .
That’s not really important.
Anyway, as a ‘saint’, Fiona took on the social role of blessing the wedding.
They are all my people anyway.
Your identity will not be leaked.
If it leaks, just beat it up immediately and that’s it.
I wonder if Fiona, who is not good at speaking, will be able to take charge of society well… .
This doesn’t really matter either.
Because there is no one here to say anything.
Let me just focus on my role.
Let’s finish the wedding safely.
Wow~
At that moment, the full moon fully appeared. It is time for the wedding to begin.
Paaaa!!~
The moonlight surrounds the birdcage building brilliantly.
The blue light is beautifully reflected.
Among them.
“Everyone pay attention. Ronica and Dirus’ wedding begins now. This event was personally hosted by me, who received the oracle of the Church of Hwansin… I will do it.”
Fiona announced the start of the wedding.
The speech was not very long.
The guy immediately turned his head in the direction where I was waiting and said.
“Groom’s entrance.”
Charring~
Taran, taran… .
At the same time, the Venus Orphans, who must have prepared hard, played a calm song.
It’s finally starting.
Sigh~
I moved slowly to match the mood.
Enter the flower garden.
match.
Clap clap clap.
As we reached the path between the flowers, people started clapping.
He must have been nervous… .
The atmosphere is truly amazing.
I felt free.
I headed toward Fiona with a free and noble step that made a loud noise.
Originally, there would have been procedures such as meeting parents and greeting guests, but it was decided to postpone such events until after the congratulatory song.
Because we are the main characters.
chuck.
Arrived at the cage building.
I climbed the low stairs and waited quietly in front.
Then Fiona looked in the opposite direction from where I had walked and opened her mouth.
“Bride’s entrance.”
I also looked there.
Ronica, wearing a beautifully made-up wedding dress, appeared with a bright smile.
Another person came next to him.
Okay.
One hand clasped up and down.
The identity of the escort is Rauf.
One hand to Rauf.
A bouquet of flowers in one hand.
Just like that, the disciple walks over.
Shalalak~
“Ah… .”
I was amazed without even realizing it.
My whole body just floated. That beautiful disciple started walking, looking only at me.
Soft moonlight and flower fields.
Quiet and calm atmosphere.
You can’t even see the rope next to it.
That silence felt very strange.
chuck.
Before I knew it, my student had also reached me and climbed the stairs. We made eye contact like that.
Wearing a pure white dress.
Fresh hair.
Warm eyes.
Moist lips.
It’s beautiful. I just made eye contact and I could feel my heart beating.
This is especially true because it is quiet.
The feeling is that your whole body is heating up.
But is it the same for my disciple?
The guy’s cheeks are stained red. I try to calm him down, but his breathing is a bit heavy.
What are you thinking when you look at me?
Sigh-
Rauf held out Ronika’s hand to me. I was slowly handed his hand.
Warm hands.
small hands.
We held each other’s hands and looked at each other.
We have blocked our love from each other.
Currently, we cannot understand each other’s thoughts.
It was a mutual action to keep the tension alive. But I guess it failed.
We can’t be unaware of each other’s thoughts.
Look into the disciple’s eyes.
like.
‘I really love you.’
It seems to be saying.
Probably the same goes for me.
We are on the same page.
While making eye contact like that, Fiona’s voice was heard.
“God blesses their marriage. and everyone prays.”
People stand up from their seats.
Everyone is watching us.
Among them.
Wow~
A bluish energy flows into the cage-shaped building built just for us, slowly enveloping Ronica and me.
Feeling comfortable.
The power to clear the mind, body and mind.
This must be Fiona’s ability.
Then Fiona’s questions for the vows and oaths began.
“Does the groom love the bride?”
“I love you.”
“Does the bride love the groom?”
“I love you.”
“Will you two always love each other?”
““Yes.””
“Then… .”
I will always love you.
Never look away.
Be there by your side when times are tough.
Always be honest.
Make an oath to yourself to God.
“Do you agree with this?“
““Yes.””
The weight of love expressed here was not as light as I thought.
This is especially true because so many people are watching.
It’s even more so because I can feel Rauf and Seongju’s gaze on me.
I must keep this oath for the rest of my life.
There were more promises than I expected.
Fiona must have memorized it all and forced us to swear, and the time we had been waiting for finally came.
chuck.
He put on a wedding ring.
They clasped their hands and held each other.
I brought my face closer.
“Kiss.”
The disciple’s face was flushed.
That’s the same for me too.
Sreuk~
Close to each other.
closer.
I approach a short but long distance and close my eyes.
Pook~
I put my two lips together.
soft.
It’s warm.
An event that started at that moment.
Damn it!!~
Sharalak!~~
Pieces of ice appear around the building.
Ice crystals flutter with moonlight.
Whirring~~
Moonlight gathers on the roof of the cage building.
It spreads brightly around and illuminates the ice sculpture.
Me with little Ronaka.
How they grew up together.
The series of processes began to sculpt the flower garden. This is an event prepared by Artrot for us.
“Wow… .”
The admiration of the silent audience can be heard.
Clap clap clap~
Then applause is heard.
Meanwhile, we parted our lips and looked at each other again.
I wonder if I took it off too quickly.
Because I felt regretful.
But the event is just beginning.
I took out an item from my subspace pocket.
muffler.
A rich, warm silver scarf modeled after my mane, made by Artrot from silver fur.
“That’s… .”
“It’s my gift.”
Sreuk.
The scarf is very long.
Because they ripped out a lot of my hair… .
After taking off Ronika’s veil, I had her and I drape the scarf from shoulder to shoulder.
In that state, we looked together.
Sararang~
Moonlight and ice crystals.
An ice sculpture filled with the past.
We watched the scene together.
Although the wedding is still far from over, I have a desire to make this moment last longer.
Sigh~
Arm in arm together.
I enjoyed this moment.
and.
“… I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Called.
Now we exchanged very obvious words.
BONUS: Side Story – Wedding (2)
Ice crystals imbued with moonlight.
A sculpture depicting our meeting.
I looked around it slowly.
Wherever my eyes went, Ronica’s eyes followed at the same time.
Our wedding wasn’t a big deal. I was so spellbound by the beautiful sight that it seemed as if all my thoughts would be taken away just by looking at it.
A wedding with such a calm atmosphere.
It was pretty good.
Fiona and Artrot’s events were added to the student’s plan, and it felt very mysterious.
“Wow… .”
While all the guests were admiring, someone walked towards where we were and suddenly started singing.
“There was a girl~”
A clear and pure voice.
Her identity is Lapis.
Belt~ Liring~
different… .
At the same time, the music box rings.
I knew that Lapis would sing a congratulatory song, but… I sing better than I thought.
It stops in front of us, turns around, and continues the song.
“In a difficult life, a man is like hope~”
The lyrics expressed our lives metaphorically. After the first part, the music box became a little brighter with the addition of various instruments.
The Venus orphans played their respective instruments to the song and livened up the atmosphere.
Everyone here quietly enjoyed the song.
The song became more and more urgent, reached its climax, then became calm again after a bit of silence, and ended with a lingering note.
“I didn’t know it was love at first~~ I did… Yes, everything~”
“With this, the two become a couple. Let’s all celebrate together!”
Fiona then spoke and scattered the moonlight.
Dududu~ Dududu~
Follow me!
At the same time with cheerful music.
“Wow!~ Congratulations Ronika!!!”
“Master Fiona is awesome!!”
“Keuuu!! It was an honor to finally see this sight. It’s really nice to see!!”
“It was a wonderful wedding that I will never experience again in my life.”
People each said their congratulations.
The official wedding ceremony is over.
The calm atmosphere was thrown away and suddenly became noisy.
“Negro.”
“Okay. Let’s be together.”
We went down and approached the people.
It’s time to say hello to everyone who came here to celebrate.
To put it simply, it is a banquet.
A banquet where we are the leaders.
Outdoor banquet on a moonlit night.
Comfortable and wise music is played.
Venus people set up portable chairs and tables around and brought food and drinks.
Let’s talk together.
Let’s enjoy this moment.
Sigh~
Holding hands with Ronika.
*
“Mom!”
“Okay… .”
The first place I went to was in front of Seongju.
Although her skin color was normal and her hair was camouflaged, she was watching this scene all along.
However, it has a mixed expression.
There was confusion in emotions.
Seongju doesn’t have many emotions yet. In other words, it seemed like I didn’t know what I was feeling right now.
But you will find out little by little.
I also greeted Seongju.
“Seongju… No, mother-in-law. I will take responsibility and protect Ronica by my side.”
Since the seat is the seat, the honorific was used.
Next, Ronika’s greeting.
“I will definitely show you my grandchildren!”
“Ugh… .”
It was an embarrassing statement, but Seongju slowly raised his eyebrows at Ronica’s words.
that… Are you smiling?
Rauf, who was following us, also expressed his joy.
“I miss you too.”
“Hee hee. Your son will be as cool as his dad.”
He had been standing behind us ever since he escorted Ronica out. His mouth is wide open, as if he is imagining the future.
Do you really want to see your grandson that much?
Seongju looked at us thoughtfully and said.
“How many children will you have?”
“Well, that’s… .”
“Five! How are you, three sons and two daughters?”
Ronika answered quickly. When on earth did such a plan come up? It seemed a bit embarrassing, so I slightly turned my head.
“Good. However, the soul inside you can move at will.”
“Ah!… … .”
“I will solve it then. Since that day, I have found many solutions.”
“Whew… Then I’ll just trust Mom!”
It is said that Seongju has prepared a solution to the soul problem.
Now all I have to do is give birth… .
I mean, it’s easy. Raising children is not easy. Just by looking at Isabelle right now, you can’t tell how tired she must be. Moreover, since they are the ones who inherited our power, we need to educate them properly.
If you have multiple children, you will need to hire multiple people to take care of them with care.
Fortunately, Artrot may be able to help.
He almost became Isabelle’s nanny.
With his experience, it wouldn’t be difficult.
no… .
Why am I worrying so seriously?
It’s still a long way off.
“Huhuhu. Maybe two people. Don’t need a place for your honeymoon?”
“Hmm?”
Loki, the lion of Asgard, who had been quietly watching next to the castle lord, quietly intervened.
The guy made a pretty interesting suggestion.
“I invite you to Asgard! In order to improve our relationship with Necropolis, we will take you two on a special trip.”
“Asgard? What kind of place is it?”
“It wouldn’t be fun if I told you in advance. It will be fun to see it with your own eyes.”
“Woong~ What do you think of black people?”
“Hmm… .”
Asgard.
I can only speak from experience having been there once, but it was a very wonderful and majestic place.
If the two of you can have fun in that atmosphere… It certainly seemed like it would be okay. If you can trust them.
Seongju spoke to my concerns.
“Don’t worry about safety. I bicker with Odin, but I have no intention of fighting. If something happens, Asgard will disappear that day.”
“Hehe. Are you not looking down on us? I don’t think we’ll be the ones disappearing, right?”
“We’ll see about that.”
okay. Seongju is holding on, so why worry?
decided.
“If you say so… It’s decided.”
The honeymoon is Asgard.
“Yay!~”
Ronika cheered.
A special place to visit for the first time.
I can’t help but feel excited.
After talking with the family for a while.
“Well, then Mom and Dad. Now I’ll say hello to my friends.”
“Sure.”
You can’t stay in one place forever.
Because there are many people who came to congratulate us.
The next targets are the emperor and king.
*
Estella.
“Really… It was a wonderful sight.”
“Thank you~ By the way, is it okay for Estella to leave the country and come back?”
“The Marquis Cardin is having a hard time, so it will be okay for a day or so. More than anything… .”
Okay.
Estella looks at me.
“It is a very important day for God, so how could I, as an apostle, miss it? So I’m really jealous. God’s love is… .”
“Ahh! Don’t look at me like that. I mean the nigger is mine!!”
“Fuuhu.”
“Well… ”
After talking for a while.
Estella presented us with a stone that glowed gold on its own, saying it was a heavenly stone. Surprisingly, the stone contained the energy of life.
They say it gives you vitality if you keep it next to you.
Anyway, it is a precious treasure.
Not bad.
Next, I went to see King Acelus. Acelus praised Ronica.
However, since he didn’t know my identity, he patted me on the shoulder and pretended to be king, saying that he was very blessed to have Ronica.
I was a little upset… .
“Giggle.”
Ronika laughed, so I forgive her.
For reference, Acelus gave a treasured sword as a gift.
I gave it to the hero Ronica, but… The sword I gave him was better, so there seemed to be no need to use it.
I guess I can give this to Rowen.
Next is Hysterion, Andro, and Rowen.
“It really is a dream-like wedding.”
“Hehe. I’ll follow you next time. Do you have to come to my wedding too?”
“Good! I will definitely go!!”
Andrew also promised to get married. but… Hysterion shook his head with a sigh, and Rowen tilted his head as if he did not understand.
We continued to say goodbye after that.
Next is Ronica’s group.
“Congratulations!!”
“Wow~ It looks so good.”
“Myoooong… .”
“Where are you going on your honeymoon?”
Pure congratulations.
Besides.
[Phm… Well, congratulations.]
“Congratulations!!… But how does the child get better?
“That’s… .”
“Hehe… … .”
Artrot is Isabelle.
“Kya~ Have you finally reached the goal? Ah~ It reminds me of the times when we were in the thick of dating. I guess I’ll find a good guy and get married.”
Erica is drinking.
“Hehehe. I had a time like that too.”
“Congratulations. You’ve already grown so much.”
Training center director and Chalosi.
“Keuheuk. It looks good.”
Gold fist.
“Congratulations!!”
Venus children.
etc.
After greeting everyone once, the moonlit night banquet began. We sang songs, danced, sat at the table, and enjoyed a cozy meal.
Beautiful flower garden.
Beautiful full moon.
“Everyone enjoy the moment!… Yes!!~”
Fiona awkwardly raised her fist.
Our sweet wedding didn’t end until the moon was high.
*
Shuuuung~
As soon as the banquet was over, we entered the tower and headed to Bifrost.
There was no problem entering the tower.
This is because Venus and Goliath are earning over a million points every month by having public value customers in Edeline and the Tower.
With Seongju’s secret support, we have been maintaining one gate for over a year.
Thanks to this, Edeline’s warriors have become much more numerous.
Of course, it wasn’t installed for them. Of course it’s for us.
In other words, you can go to the tower to play at any time.
blast furnace.
Whoa!!~
I took the Lexia and went up to the 85-story dome-shaped building.
Flash!!~
“We are here.”
“Hoo.”
The place that was moved with the light in Bifrost was a city with cultural styles different from ours.
“This is Midgard. This is where the people of our world live. Among them, this is one of the most developed cities. How is it. Wouldn’t it be better to be something completely different rather than just something special?”
“Wow… The clothes they all wear and the shape of their houses are so different from ours!!”
“There must be a lot of other foods.”
“Yes. So, we have prepared the best hotels and various courses for you, so please enjoy them to your heart’s content. We will take steps to ensure that no one disturbs you.”
“Sounds fun!~”
“Not bad. Is there anything you want from us?”
“No. Right now, improving relationships is everything. Please do not feel burdened.”
Then why hesitate?
My student and I walked down the street holding hands together. Although it was not as big as Necropolis, it was a well-developed city with many high-rise buildings.
Walking through new scenery… … .
“But shouldn’t we sleep now?”
“Ah. Now that I think about it, it was originally time to sleep. I forgot because it’s morning here.”
“Then… Now, shall we sleep?”
“… … Yeah, that’s right.”
Let’s postpone seeing other worlds for a bit.
Because we have work to do now.
First, following Rocky’s guidance, we entered a luxurious hotel that had withdrawn all guests.
One side of the room is made entirely of glass, so you can see a beautiful view of the city at a glance… First, I closed the curtains and went into the bathroom first.
shake.
nervous.
What to do from now on… .
This is the first time for both my student and I to experience this.
Even if you understand sexual knowledge intellectually, the actual experience will probably be different. You should never be strong, but be gentle at first, like letting go… .
“Ugh… .”
What am I already imagining?
I haven’t even started yet.
Let’s clear our heads.
Just do your best.
I changed into comfortable cloth clothes and came out of the bathroom.
“… Joe, please wait a moment.”
“Sure.”
My student couldn’t make eye contact and went straight into the bathroom.
dump.
I sat on the bed and waited.
Not much time.
The time feels very long. I keep imagining the future and my body gets hot.
Let’s be patient. I have to endure it for now.
After a while.
Squeak~
“Uh… .”
A disciple dressed in something sexy appeared.
With cat ears headband.
A clingy piece of clothing that appears translucent.
Seems like it won’t be visible… … .
“… Don’t look at me too much.”
gulp.
I looked away for a moment.
Then my student passed by and sat down on the bed and looked at me.
“… … … .”
Looks very embarrassed.
So I turned off the lights in the room and placed a weak yellow lamp on the table.
And then he approached his disciple.
Quiet and dark atmosphere.
But I feel like my insides are going to explode.
We slept together every time… .
Today is not just about sleeping. I wondered if it could really be like this.
however.
“… Black boy.”
Sigh~
Ronika stretched out her arms.
His arm naturally wrapped around my neck and pulled me towards him, and in response, he got up on the bed.
Sreuk~
Ronika lay down on her back.
I lay down on top of him and faced him.
Thanks to you, I can see it clearly.
It’s dark, but the blushing and shy disciple is waiting for my action. I can feel his heartbeat up to here.
Ronica’s eyes were trembling but desperately asking for something.
… okay.
Let’s not make you wait any longer.
Let’s not embarrass ourselves further.
When you do it, you do it.
Wow!!-
“Kya!!?”
I tore the guy’s clothes.
*
…
…
…
Flash!!
“… … … .”
I opened my eyes and looked to the side.
I see Ronica sound asleep.
He is sleeping with a comfortable face, one arm wrapped around me, and one arm wrapped around me.
what… .
committed.
Finally, this day came.
I felt like a bad guy, but at the same time, I wanted to do more. That’s what it means to sleep with someone you like.
so… .
“I guess I’ll have to improve my skills for a while.”
“… What?”
Startle!
The disciple also opened his eyes.
Did he wake up too?
Although he seemed quite confused, he laughed and hugged my neck with both arms.
“Black Aang~ I… .”
Tup.
I covered the guy’s mouth.
I felt like I knew what you wanted.
blast furnace… .
hook!!
I raised my upper body.
I grabbed my disciple’s waist.
“Kue?… .”
“It will be different this time.”
“… … … Ugh.”
It seemed like he had something he wanted to say, but before that, he nodded with a blush on his head.
Eat.
Approach me gently and kiss me.
Round 2 begins.
BONUS: Side Story – Afterwards (1)
dark night.
A city in the empire.
A man walked down the street.
The man’s name was Fred. He was a native of this city and was returning home late at night after talking business with a friend for the first time in a long time.
and.
Sigh~
“Hmm?… Who is that kid?”
While walking on the side of the road, he noticed a kid who passed him by.
The prompt came.
This kid is absolutely not ordinary.
Was it six years old?
black hair.
Precious attire.
At first glance, I knew it was a precious piece of family.
However, why is such a young master wandering the city streets at night like this?
Public safety isn’t that good here.
After Empress Estella ascended the throne, the security of the entire country improved greatly, but the security situation in this remote and old city is still the same.
No, it got worse. This is because criminals flock there looking for a safe place. It’s a dangerous place for a child like that to wander around alone.
Even on a night like this.
They are even going into remote alleys.
I don’t have a child from a slum organization… .
In the end, I couldn’t control my curiosity and followed along.
just as expected.
“Hehehe.”
“Can you get a share of that?
People who looked bad at first glance appeared.
4 men. They slowly approached as if surrounding a child… … .
“Uh, huh?… .”
What is it?
The bullies are coming towards him.
The child was already gone. Their target was clearly themselves.
By the time you think it’s too late, it’s already too late.
They have already surrounded themselves.
While trying to look at the child, I inadvertently went deeper. This is near the residence of bad organizations. This is a place where a 7-star strongman has established himself as the boss.
Therefore, there is only one action that can be taken.
gulp.
“Woah, what do you want?”
“Haha. Isn’t this person good at communicating well?”
“It looks like you took the wrong route. Please leave everything you are wearing and all your money for the toll fee. Then, I am willing to send it to you in kind.”
“Oh, I understand.”
It’s servile, but it can’t be helped.
Isn’t it much better to not get hit and get taken away than to get hit and get taken away? In a city like this, there’s nothing good about having high pride. To be exact, to the strong.
Every day, in order to do business, I argue with people and raise my voice, and I can’t even remember if I did something wrong to these people.
That’s reality.
People say the empire has improved, but… .
It’s all bullshit. The center doesn’t even care about this. With the influx of criminals, this city has reached its worst.
The worst crime city in the empire. This situation will continue for at least a year.
There are still many cities that need to be reformed.
To reach this far… .
“Hey. What are you doing? Shall we take it off?”
“Ugh… Sorry.”
Fred bowed his head humbly, took out a money bag from his chest, and put it down.
Fortunately, I don’t carry a lot of money around to prepare for situations like this. There is no big problem as I have a safe at home with my assets hidden away.
It’s just servile.
Next, clothes… … .
“Stop!!”
What?
Suddenly, a kid appeared in front of him.
It was a black-haired boy who appeared to be a nobleman who passed by him earlier.
“Hang? What are you?”
“Oh? The clothes look kind of expensive?”
“Hey. If this guy does well, he’ll make some money, right?”
“Kkkkk. You are a very big hit today.”
The bullies laughed happily.
Either way, the kid frowned and said, as if it was not appropriate.
“Mother said! Develop the strength to stand against unreasonable violence. You are evil. So, I will judge it myself!!”
“… … What?”
It sounded somewhat absurd.
There was silence for a moment.
“Puhahahaha!!!! What is he saying now?
“Kid. Have you seen any hero narratives these days? Did your mother read it to you?”
“Moon. answer. radish. For.”
Swish!!
Suddenly the child disappeared before my eyes.
“Huh?… .”
The moment you do it, it’s already over.
Because the child who jumped up behind the head of the man who was provoking him was swinging his palm.
Power factor area.
Missing teeth.
Baaa!!
“Wow!!?!.”
Surprisingly, it was just one room.
The kid knocked out an adult man.
“Well, what is it… .”
“That kid just-”
Whilick!!~
Surprise and confusion, not alertness. The fate of third-rate scoundrels has already been decided.
Babbabak!!
“Kaaaa!!!”
Time to blink.
They all fell down on one child.
“Ah… how… … .”
Fred, who was suddenly saved by the child, looked at the child with his mouth open.
At that moment, the child also turned to look at him.
“You! Do you believe in illusionism?”
“… … … ?”
“I asked you if you believed it!!”
“Yes, yes! I believe… … .”
Fred was pressured by the child’s unknown spirit and used the polite term.
However, I couldn’t understand.
You suddenly believe in a religion of illusions?
But was it important to the child?
“Cancer! You are a good person. hmm. Hehe… .”
“… … … Yes?”
By what logic?
No, why are you smiling all of a sudden?
There was a lot I wanted to say, but I held it back.
Ah, the child was strong enough to easily defeat an adult man.
“Ho hum!”
The child cleared his throat incongruously.
Then he asked the question again, pretending to be solemn.
“I heard that there are many evil organizations here. Do you know where they are?”
“Yes?… .”
“Speak up quickly! I have to get it all done before tomorrow comes. That’s how you get scolded!… No, guide me. I will deal with the evil here.”
“… … … .”
“Come on!!”
“Eep!… … .”
How on earth did this happen?
Without even knowing why, Fred guided the child to a forbidden area where enemies should never enter. It’s dangerous, so he should tell them to go back… Overwhelmed by spirit, I became a guide without even being able to open my mouth.
But fortunately, I didn’t have to go any deeper. Because something appeared.
Todog, todog!!!
Adorable mane.
A four-legged animal with brown fur.
Although it looks similar to a cat, it is different. It is an animal that is absolutely not ordinary. Such an animal was coming this way.
That moment.
Flash!!
“Onii-chan!!!”
“Gasp!?”
What was clearly an animal transformed into a brown-haired girl who looked about four years old.
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
“… Girls?… … .”
How could something that was clearly an animal become a human? .
Even though it looked like a child, it was running very fast.
The distance becomes closer in an instant.
but.
Da da da da da!!
Cheolpudeok.
“… … … Hoood
“… … ?”
He fell alone.
I was so angry that I started crying bitterly.
It’s a really embarrassing situation.
“What’s going on? Veronica.”
“Onii-chan!!! Those guys over there are harassing me!! Whoa!!!!”
The girl got up and was hugged by the boy, pointing behind her with one finger.
Ta-da-da-da!!
Tabababaak!!
“found. That monster!!”
“Everyone be careful. That little guy’s strength is not normal. Don’t let down your guard and surround the child because everything can be blown away with one punch!!!”
For some reason, a group of delinquents who seemed to have a strong grudge against them appeared in droves.
However, I couldn’t understand what was being said.
Brown hair.
A 4-year-old girl.
A cute and delicate woman who looks like she’ll fly away if you hit her is a monster. Some of them are even cowering as if they’re scared.
Why would a child run away while crying like that?
bang!!
“Don’t swear!!!”
Suddenly, the girl stomped her foot hard as if she was angry.
Whiik!!
The road was dug up and a piece of rock cut into Fred’s cheek.
Blood is leaking out.
“… … … .”
Grumbling.
Fred gave up on the idea.
Meanwhile, the boy came forward as if to cover the girl.
“They dared to harass my younger brother?”
“Yes! Please scold me!! They are very mean people!!!”
“Good. I will destroy them all within today.”
A look of great spirit.
Even in front of a gang of more than a dozen people, there was no sign of fear at all.
It’s not that I’m fearless.
Confidence that comes from great power.
It was the leisure of the strong.
“These crazy kids.”
“Kill me!!”
The gang rushes in.
The boy also took a stance.
“Father said!! Let power kneel before greater power!!”
“That’s right!! Brother is coming!!!”
Hook!~
The boy jumped first.
A whitish spirit was rising from the child’s body.
Even at first glance, the energy is unusual.
An unrealistic fight has begun.
*
“After. This is the end.”
“Long live my brother!~”
grasp!! grasp!!
Fred shivered behind him.
This is because the girl grabbed the man by the hair and hit the floor like a whip in excitement. How strong does it take to do something like that?
Even if it’s a mana test of 3-4 stars or higher, something like that… .
This was just violence.
Fred saw it all. The sight of two children one-sidedly beating dozens of men.
However, the problem did not end there.
“Ha, I can’t believe I got knocked down by a kid. They are my subordinates, but they are truly absurd.”
A man who looked strong at first glance appeared, leading dozens of subordinates with a sword draped over his shoulder. They were real people, not extreme people.
‘iced coffee… This would be too much for those children.’
I know Fred well because he is a native.
The boss of this organization is a 7-star strongman.
He is famous for hanging all those who attacked him to subdue him. No matter how strong the kid is, this is different.
Absolutely dangerous.
I never thought he would show up in person… .
Nevertheless, the kid stepped forward confidently.
“You are the leader of these guys!”
“ha? What kind of kid talks like this?”
“Shut up! If you are an evil villain, you will be punished!!”
“Oh my~ Nunndu. That’s scary. therefore… Should I get the scary things out of my sight? Guys. What do you think?”
“I will kill you.”
“Please leave it to me!!”
“Ugh!… Don’t you dare fool around!!”
Swish!!
Is he still a child after all?
The boy easily got caught up in the provocation and leapt at the enemy boss.
And the boss smiled and put a knife on the child’s neck-
Kuguk!!
“Inhale!?… … .”
What?
The boss’ movement stopped.
In that moment, the child angrily thrust his power into the boss’s face.
Paaah!!!!
“Kaaaa!!?
No matter how you look at it, it is an unnatural situation.
The boss was obviously much faster and stronger, so why did he stop at the last moment?
No, wait.
“Ugh… .”
“Ah, ah… … .”
“Kuheu!!… .”
dump.
Cheolpudeok.
For some reason, the gang members are falling down.
Even though he wasn’t hit by the attack, he fell to the ground with foam in his mouth.
Another incomprehensible situation.
Fred was starting to get confused.
Is it a dream?
Is it reality?
slap.
When I hit my cheek, it hurts.
Surprisingly, it was real. I just stared blankly at the scene unfolding in front of me.
“Ugh… This energy. No way, mother!?”
The boy looks around as if surprised.
That fleeting moment.
Wow!!
“Oh my!!”
“Yay!!~”
“Guys~ I’m sure we’ll all be going together tomorrow, so I told you to go to bed early~ Didn’t you~?”
A woman appeared behind the two children and pinched their ears. Although he was speaking calmly, there was a bit of anger rising from deep inside, as if this was not the first time something like this had happened.
“Uggyagggg~”
Hanging on the woman’s head was a small child who looked to be about 1 or 2 years old.
Surprisingly, it is very stable.
There was no sign of falling at all.
Moreover, if you are a mother of such strong children… .
gulp.
‘Oh, it must be very strong, right?’
Fred slowly took a step back.
It was because I was afraid that it would be dangerous if I stayed here for no reason and got caught up in them.
but.
chuck.
“Ugh?”
I bumped into someone behind me.
“Who are you?”
“Ugh!!?”
I obviously didn’t feel anything. But a black-haired man was standing behind him.
It felt like the bell of life was ringing.
Considering the current situation, this person is probably the father of those children. In other words, it is impossible to estimate how incredibly powerful it must have been.
Rattling.
My body is shaking uncontrollably.
Therefore, he told me about the situation so quickly that I wondered if he had ever spoken so quickly in his life.
“I’m just a citizen walking down the street!! I was just worried about the child, so I followed him and ran into a bully. At that time, the child saved me. I was asked to give directions, so I came here and ran into the bullies again – ”
Tup.
“… stop. Don’t be scared because it won’t hurt you. Actually, I was watching everything.”
The man covered his mouth.
It just looked like an annoyance.
“… … … Yep!”
“Do you believe in the Church of Phantom Gods?”
“Yes?… Yes.”
“He’s a good guy.”
“Yes?… … .”
The man ignored himself and approached the children, as if he had no intention of harming them. Although I thought I was lucky, I was curious about who they were, so I glanced over and overheard their conversation.
“Daddy!!! Mom, please stop me!!”
“Guuk… Ha, it doesn’t hurt at all!… … .”
“… Ronika, leave it at that. Although he causes trouble, as you can see, it is true that Veros saved people. You can’t just scold me.”
“No, nigger! You are the problem too. You already knew, but you just watched and pretended not to see.”
“Ugh… … But it’s great.”
“If you do it one more time, I will destroy the city?”
“… … … I’m sorry.”
“Anyway! The stronger you are, the more you need to raise it properly. So even if you give praise, the mistake must be identified separately and punished before it is done. So, let the black guy take over after this!”
“That… I understand.”
“Good!”
Tak~
Ronika let go of the two children.
“Keueh… Daddy!!”
“Ugh… How men don’t cry.”
A girl named Veronica ran to Dirusae, and a boy called Veros pretended to be strong, hiding his tears.
Width~
Dirus hugged Veronica.
Then, as if he was conscious of Ronica’s words, he patted her head and questioned her.
“Veronica. Why did you come out on your own?”
“Wow… sorry… … My brother asked me to kill the bad guys together… .”
“Beros?”
“Guuk!!… .”
Veros flinched.
It seemed like there was a lot of stabbing.
“Okay. Veros. Why did you do that? We all decided to experience dealing with the bad guys together tomorrow, right?”
“That… .”
“If you don’t say something, there will be no dinner today.”
“I wanted to become an adult!!”
“Adult?… .”
“Because I treat you like a child every day… I want to show my cool side, but I don’t have a chance to do that, and they just cover me up every day. If we had all gone together, we would have just looked around.”
“… … … .”
Take a peek.
Dirus looked at Ronica.
“They say so?”
“That’s… .”
It would be a lie to say that Ronika was not stung by anything.
I loved my two children so much that I always wanted to keep them by my side and raise them properly. In fact, it was no different from overprotection, and they had no choice but to see the world filtered through the shadow of their parents.
realized that.
Dirus spoke energetically.
“I think sometimes you can just let it do what it wants. Although Veros is young, he is thoughtful and strong compared to his peers. Even if we discuss faults and praise later, our children will be able to fully understand them.”
“Yes… I was wrong this time. Unlike me, I wanted my child to grow up in warm arms.”
Ronica received cold love from her fake parents and eventually ran away from home.
So it may have been an obsession.
Let’s give warm love to our children.
That became the problem.
“Ronika… .”
“Yes! Let’s destroy all the organizations here that have come to this. Veros, Veronica! You both still have that much strength left, right?”
“Yes!!”
“Yes!!”
Parenting is not an easy task.
However, it is a problem that can be fixed.
Communicating together is the first step.
The second thing is to understand and come to a conclusion.
Once the goal is set, helping is the third step.
Ronika kept this principle well. It will only get better as time goes by.
I wonder if they are maintaining a harmonious family.
but.
“Then now I have to see Veros’s skills.”
“Heh! Watch me. Father, mother!!”
“Umm… Can’t you just call me dad and mom?”
“No! Because I’m a grown adult!!”
“… … … .”
Take a peek.
This time Ronica looked at Dirus.
This is because Diruski had the greatest influence on that tone and atmosphere.
“That… I will refrain from doing so.”
Dirus avoided eye contact.
It was a family that still had a long way to go.
however.
Eat.
The two smiled at each other.
And then we all headed to the slums together.
To destroy evil for the education of children.
“Ah… … … .”
Fred.
At some point, he watched the whole family scene as if it were not there.
I was just dumbfounded.
Who exactly were they?
“… … Let’s pay attention. What am I supposed to do if I find out?”
Okay.
So I turned around.
That moment.
“Hmm?… .”
It was strange.
He had a bag of money in his hand. It was his own money bag that he had put down earlier under the threat of a former bully, but for some reason it was very heavy.
“When is this?… … .”
Flash.
I remembered the moment when the man was behind me.
“Could it be then?… .”
Sigh!
Fred quickly opened his pocket.
The pocket contained several gold coins and a tile with a silver phantom beast drawn on it.
Return card.
It’s a bit of a legend.
A grace that is said to be secretly bestowed by Hwanshin.
If you bring it to the Temple of the Phantom Goddess, you can immediately become a high-ranking priest or receive great rewards… .
“Huh?… uh?… … Huh?… … … .”
The man stood blankly for a long time.
It took quite a while to understand the situation.
… after.
Soon, a temple of the Church of the Hwanshins was built in the cleansed city, and Fred became the bishop of the temple and is said to have contributed greatly to reforming the city.
BONUS: Gaiden – Afterwards (Complete)
Near Polisha village.
A spacious and luxurious mansion.
Among them, a nicely decorated room.
“Fact… I have concerns!”
The first son of Dirus and Ronica.
Veros.
He sat down with Isabelle, who was already 11 years old, and asked for advice on her concerns.
Isabelle accepted without batting an eye.
“What is the price?”
“Heh. I’ve prepared everything.”
As if Beros knew this, he took out a subspace pouch from his chest and held it out.
Sigh~
Isabelle suppressed the corners of her mouth from twitching as much as possible and took the pouch and opened it. There were a lot of snacks and candies.
“Hehehe… greatness! good. that’s enough. At this rate, I can eat for another month without Master Fiona knowing.”
“Then are you listening to my concerns?”
“Yes! Tell me!”
Soon the consultation began.
With a serious face, Veros revealed a secret he could not tell anyone.
“I seem to have found a girl I like. But I don’t know how to confess it!!”
“A girl you like? Ugh~”
“Ho, do you know who this is?”
“Of course. You love your mom!”
“Ugh!! As expected, it’s amazing. How on earth could you know such a thing?”
“Heh!~ The moon teaches me.”
“Is it really a secret?”
“It’s true… … .”
“Then I will ask. How should I confess to my mother!?”
“Simple! If you go and kiss her cheek and tell her that you love her, she will respond positively too!”
“Right pole. A kiss on the cheek… That’s something only kids do. It doesn’t suit me.”
“No, no! When I become an adult, I tend to do a lot of things like that secretly. lets think. You’ve probably seen a scene like that too.”
“Inhale!! Come to think of it, my mother and father used to keep us apart and kiss us secretly!!!”
“Really!? What did you do next?”
“I was caught and kicked out.”
“Ugh. anyway! Adults are like that. Actually, I prefer that kind of thing. So don’t hesitate!”
“As expected, sister! Thanks to you, I gained courage. I’m going to give my mother a kiss on the cheek right now!!”
“Yes, yes. Good!”
Swish!
Slap!!
Veros left the room with a determined look on his face and went to where Ronica was.
“hihi~”
Isabelle looked at the spot where Beros had disappeared.
A glimpse of the future was visible in her eyes. Ronica, who was greatly touched, returned Veros a hundredfold kiss on the cheek and prepared a delicious meal for dinner.
“Dinner tonight is delicious. Hehehe.”
In other words, it was all Isabelle’s trick.
I wonder if the buds are already yellow.
Knock knock.
At that time, someone knocked on Isabelle’s door.
The next person to be consulted has arrived.
“Come in!~”
Come on!
“This is so cute!!~”
“Gyagaga!!~”
Veronica, a 4-year-old girl, appears.
On top of his head was his younger brother, a 1-year-old boy named Bayroof.
At this time, Isabelle patted her shoulder with a tired expression, as if she had been waiting.
Knock knock.
“Nika~ My shoulder is sore.”
“Hah!! I’ll massage it for you!!”
“Do I have to be gentle?”
“Yes!!”
Veronica immediately moved behind Isabelle and massaged her shoulders and patted her back. Veronica was 4 years old, but her strength was stronger than that of her older brother, Veros. Of course, force control is essential.
Rub, rub, rub~
“Ugh~ It’s cool.”
“Hehe. Sister~ I actually-”
“You’re a good dad, right?”
“Oh! How did you know!?”
“I know everything!”
“Well, then how should I confess!!?”
“It’s simple. That’s while kissing the cheek-”
Dirus and Ronica’s children seem to be smart, but are still somewhat lacking.
The biggest beneficiary was Isabelle.
Her counseling continued.
… Until I got caught by Fiona.
Come on!!
“Lee. ruler. Bell.”
“Ugh!!? I clearly couldn’t see it!?”
“I, I’m done!!”
Fiona witnesses an illegal counseling session.
Little Isabelle was very embarrassed.
Veronica escapes immediately.
There was nothing to say about what happened after that.
“Confiscation.”
“Nooo!!!!”
Fiona took the bag of snacks that Isabelle had worked hard to collect and dragged her away.
The reason is simple.
I gained weight from eating too many snacks.
The number was limited, but Isabelle ate it secretly.
The plan is to eat only vegetable porridge for a week.
“I just hate that!!!!~”
Isabelle’s scream rings out.
But nothing changes. Fiona can’t watch Isabelle get chubby, so this control is expected to continue for a while.
*
The mansion of Ronica and Dirus.
The front yard.
[Everyone follow me!!]
“Ice I can eat as much as I want in front of my sister, but Master won’t say anything. Hehe.”
“After. Now I just follow the words of the strong. Someday we will escape this oppression.”
“Cool sister. Joaaaang!!!~”
“Kkugyagaga!!”
Art Lot.
Isabelle.
Veros.
veronica.
Bayloop.
Artrot and the four children arrived at a large empty space in the yard.
This mansion, built near Polisha village after Dirus and Ronica got married, was Baron Ronica’s official residence as well as everyone’s home.
Therefore, it was very large and spacious, and the yard was suitable for running around and playing to your heart’s content.
Is it because of that?
Artrot, who is now playing the role of another parent to the children, showed off his power.
Damn it!!
Sharalak!~
An ice slide created in an instant.
A small ice castle.
Ice sculpture.
An icy road that slides as much as you want.
Even various ice rides.
An ice playground was created.
“This is my place!”
“After. I have no choice but to blend in a little.”
“Wow!!!~”
“Piya~”
The children immediately rushed to the playground.
Isabelle goes into a small ice castle and secretly takes out snacks to eat.
Berros is the first to climb the slide, saying that the children’s playground isn’t that great.
Veronica rolling around on the icy road.
“Kkugukka?”
Bayroof being hugged and patted by Artrot.
[Phew~ Everyone is playing so hard. This is how I raise the children to be on my side and give Dirus a beating. Pahahaha!!]
Artrot also laughed excitedly.
This was for an operation to make Dirus tired by enticing the children.
It would be correct to say that Atrot fell in love with children before that, but… .
anyway.
She played well with the children.
If you do this, the day disappears in a flash.
And when children fall like this… .
Inside the mansion.
“Geomdungang~”
Startle.
“Let’s make it fourth! You decided to have up to five children.”
“… I’m tired now-”
“Tired!! Yap!!!~”
Ronica forced Dirus into her arms and ordered her to head to the bedroom.
“Go!!”
“… … … .”
Dirus thought.
‘I’m sure I have a lot of stamina… .’
Why is it already difficult?
Called.
The reason was unknown.
I was just drawn to Ronica.
As soon as possible.
A fourth child may be born.
*
“Seeing Grandpa and Grandma!”
“Big mom! Mom’s mom! Mom!! Daddy Daddy!!!”
Ta-da-da-da-da!!
The children ran out. The reason is that Zane and Rauf came to the mansion to visit.
Eat.
The Lord of the castle also smiled at the lively appearance of Veros and Veronica. He then picked up Veronica, who came towards him, and sat her on his shoulder.
The corner of Seongju’s mouth appears to be tickled while looking at his grandchildren.
Probably happiness.
Seongju almost regained his emotions.
Maybe that’s why you can smile like that.
“You’ve arrived at the right time. The children were eager to see the two.”
“And I wanted to see it too!”
Ronika and I followed the children and greeted the castle owner and Rauf.
After the children were born, Zane somehow managed to find time to come visit them at least once a month. Rauf also came to visit with Seongju every time, as they were living with him as he regained his feelings for her.
Therefore, whenever the two came, Ronica smiled brightly and cooked with her own hands.
It’s still the same now.
“I’ll prepare delicious food! Black guy. Please welcome the two of you.”
“I understand.”
Normally, the chef hired by the mansion would cook the food herself, but on special occasions or when her parents came over, Ronica would show off her skills herself.
Is it because of that?
Isabelle, who came out late, drooled when she heard about Ronica’s cooking.
Jureuk… .
Write “. lol… .”
You can tell just by looking at that reaction.
How delicious Ronika’s cooking is.
I’m going to feast today.
Except for one guy.
[Phm… .]
Art Lot.
She followed suit, wondering what was going on.
However, this guy is not very close to Seongju.
Due to my high self-esteem, I find it difficult to face Seongju. No matter how you look at it, you don’t want to get embarrassed by confronting Seongju, who is stronger than you.
Did he realize that? Seongju spoke first to Atrot, who looked awkward.
[I’ve seen you several times, but I’ve never had a proper conversation with you. I heard that you have a special relationship with my messenger and that you are taking care of the children.]
[Well, it’s special!! This guy is my subordinate!!]
“Artrot?… When did I become a subordinate?”
[Joe, be quiet!]
“… … … .”
Eat.
Seongju laughed again.
[You two get along well. So, why not take this opportunity to become friends with me?]
[Huh?… that… Phm… … If you say that first, I have no choice but to accept it. Because I am very kind and generous!]
[I will continue to take good care of my children.]
[It’s boring~ I’ll take care of you when I have time.]
[okay. Thank you.]
This was a pretty amazing scene.
I never thought Artrot and Seongju would have a conversation like this.
I never thought it was Seongju that bowed first.
Was having a child the right thing to do? People who are difficult to become friends with are becoming friends.
Nothing bad.
If you’re in the same fence, it’s better to be friendly than to avoid them.
We all entered the mansion together.
*
Me and Ronika.
Rauf and Seongju.
Fiona and Isabelle.
Artrot and his three children.
All family members living in the mansion, excluding the employees, sat around the huge dining table.
For your information, Fiona and Isabelle live together in the mansion and have already talked to the lord of the castle several times. Rauf knew Fiona from the beginning.
and… Girgas also lives in this mansion, but is currently on a business trip.
To play the role of a ghost.
That guy Girgas was treated quite well too.
I’m glad you’re satisfied… .
anyway.
Seongju is also kind to Fiona and Isabelle, who have become friends with the children.
Therefore, there is no problem with the dining table.
“Enjoy everyone~ Because I tried my best.”
“Mom sooo!!!”
“As expected, my daughter’s food looks delicious.”
“Ronika food. I want to learn too!”
Grumbling… … .
“Hehe. Come on, eat it.”
I started eating.
Conversation was also no problem.
“I am following in my father’s footsteps and training to mix the sword with the sword!”
“I can handle souls now!!”
“Kgya gaaa!!~”
“Wow~ I’m so touched by this expense.”
“Rauf. You are too young to me. Don’t act old.”
“Ja, Zane?… .”
The children were very active, so the time passed easily just by listening to their stories.
How can Artrot play with you?
Isabelle has magical fortune.
Fiona teaches you magic.
And so on and so forth.
We talked about everyday life for a while.
Looking at that scene.
“hihi~”
Eat.
Ronika and I laughed together.
I just liked this sight itself.
Being able to eat, talk, and laugh with the whole family or friends.
so… .
What I want to say is simple.
I have no regrets.
that has returned.
Meeting Ronica.
For protecting Ronica.
What I did with Ronica.
therefore.
Forgive Medis.
Become friends with Artrot.
Meeting Seongju and Rauf.
I gained friends called Fiona and Isabelle.
In the end, I ended up starting a family that I had never thought about before.
There may not be only good things, but in general, there will be no bad things. Because we have the ability to deal with any situation.
Even after all this, I am Edeline’s god. The people around me are also strong people.
There is nothing to worry about.
So what we’re going to do next is simple.
It is about raising children well while protecting the family.
Our children have a bright future.
Children who inherited the powers of me and Ronica.
It will become a very powerful being in the future. So much so that he became the god of Edeline after me.
The same goes for my child’s child.
Ah, I’m already excited just thinking about it.
I think I understand why Rauf is making such a fuss. I hope that day comes quickly.
I let my imagination run wild.
To smile so happily… .
“It’s Ronika.”
“Yes, Mom! Do you have anything to say?”
“Don’t you want to have a younger sibling?”
“… Yes?”
Stop.
Ronika and I looked at each other, not easily understanding what the Lord of the castle meant.
Do you suddenly want a younger sibling?… .
In “… that… … Are you asking me to have a fourth child?”
“No. I’m talking about your younger brother.”
“… … … ?”
“Jane?… .”
Rauf also looked at Seongju in confusion.
What this means.
“Rauf. I wanted to have a second child.”
“Jaaan!!!?”
“Um!?!”
Ronika and Rauf screamed loudly.
This is a completely unexpected development.
He said he would give Ronica, who already had three children, a younger sibling.
What kind of genealogy is this? .
“Haha… .”
Shaking my head.
I shook my head.
It’s really confusing… .
He told us to abandon the human perspective. In other words, it’s not that strange for a couple who are already hundreds of years apart to have a second child… .
No, let’s not think about it.
It’s obviously strange.
It just gets more confusing.
what… .
Still, let me summarize.
“Rauf. Eat a lot today.”
“Really?… Zane?… Jaan!!?… … .”
Our family is expected to expand significantly in the future. With a very twisted genealogy.
If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.
just… .
Let’s eat something.
BONUS: Review.
Dear reader.
thank you
The side story is already over.
Although I am still a poor writer, I will write a review with a bit of confidence that I have completed over 200 novels.
This novel was planned to be completed in 100 to 150 episodes, and the planned completion was also different.
Climbing the 99th floor of the tower.
Queen Ronica ending.
One of the two was planned, and the continuation of Ronica and Dirus was an additional element.
However, now it is quite the opposite.
The ending I had planned ended up being an additional story or a story from a distant future, and it ended with the main story involving Ronica and Dirus.
Content added here and there.
This and that has been added.
It was very difficult to write it as planned. This should have been developed quickly or cut off, but it’s a shame that a lot of boring parts were left behind.
anyway.
As I was writing it, I thought it would be better to focus on Dirus’ purpose.
It was about keeping Ronika safe, and it developed and ended in the form of a lover. Therefore, there was no reason to make Ronica queen, and the 99th floor of the tower… I gave up because my idea was not specific and seemed like it would take a long time.
That’s why it became the novel it is today.
Still, I’m satisfied.
Because it was completed with love.
There are many things I felt while writing this work. I feel like my imagination has improved.
I also feel that there are things that need improvement.
For example, the invasion.
It had less substance than I thought and was just a boring fight without much motivation.
In fact, the invasion episode should have ended with the death of Thunder Ice after 3 or 4 episodes, but I was too greedy to write in detail the growth of the surrounding characters, and it ended up being a failure of control.
There’s a lot I want to show, but I don’t have the skills to put it all in an interesting way. At first, I thought I had worked hard to divide it into 20 episodes, but as the content changed, I was only able to write about 10 episodes and other episodes took over.
Therefore, starting with my next work, I plan to bring out an interesting story as much as possible within my capabilities. From here, we gradually increase the limit.
Fortunately, I have some sense of it now.
I think I can use the next one well.
I’m glad you’ve grown.
If possible, I will continue to take steps forward, dreaming of becoming a star writer. So, if you point out my shortcomings, I will take note of them.
And this work… .
What do you think about posting more daily side stories like the last part?
I think I’ll write it down and upload it when it’s forgotten. If I think of something interesting, I’ll write it up as a short story and post it.
Anyway, that’s it.
Thanks for reading.
I will come back by planning harder for the next work so that it is fun on the other hand.
Be happy always, everyone.
BONUS: New work notice! – A broken goddess is trying to raise me.
I brought you a new work!
A broken goddess is trying to raise me.
It is a novel titled.
To briefly introduce it, it is about the main character who has become a plant and lives in a waste dump with a broken goddess on the 0th floor of the tower.
Of course, this is no ordinary plant.
It absorbs people or anything else.
The main story is what happens at the dump and pure love.
If you are interested, please move on to view the author’s other works!
Have a happy every day.
