episode_0102

I walked up the long stairs holding the World Tree’s hand tightly.

Why do you have to hold on to the hand of the World Tree?

“It’s too high..”

“I’m holding on to you well so you don’t fall.”

“Can’t you let me go..?”

“You don’t have to worry..”

“Is it real?”

“Yes.”

“If you let me go, I will immediately go to Nyamu and tell her.”

“…I’ll just listen.”

“Oh…”

In the end, I climbed the stairs while being held by the World Tree as a princess.

The Demon World seen from this high position while being held by the World Tree…

“Wow…I can’t help but be amazed.”

“Thank you.”

There was no red to be seen at all.

The colorful colors of nature come together.

“..It’s like the Earth.”

“Cheonhwi, you are talking about the world.”

“Yes. How can a land where there was nothing become so beautiful…”

“Is it beautiful? Hmm~. Thank you for your attention.”

I saw the world tree proudly yet shyly happy, like an artist being praised for his work.

“Yes. The atmosphere is really nice, including the forest over there and the river connected to it. Did you intentionally create a long river between the forests like that?”

To make her feel a little better when she listens, I praise her in more detail.

Stop.

The World Tree stopped while climbing the stairs.

Then he started looking down at me with a look in his eyes that is difficult to explain.

‘Uh… did I say something wrong?’

I thought I had gone too far, and was about to apologize and make up an excuse by saying that I still wanted to say something because it was really beautiful.

“As expected…”

“…!”

“What do you know?!”

“…?”

“The forest over there and the river between the forests are my favorite terrain from the spirit world!”

“Ugh!”

“Have you seen that too?! There are two separate trees in the huge forest over there, right?!”

“Aaaah!”

“The largest tree is represented as me, and it is bigger than the other trees next to it, but the tree smaller than my tree is represented as Nyamu!”

“Ugh!”

“And the trees lying beneath those giant trees…”

flew.

No, it felt like I was flying.

The problem was that he was not flying voluntarily, but rather, he was flying willingly.

The arms of the world tree that had been holding me like a princess turned into huge tree branches and started swinging me around in the air.

“That place…”

“The river next to there…”

“That is the sea…”

“Behind there, purify the few surviving demonic beasts…”

“Aaaa!”

As you swing around on the outside of the stairs, if a tree branch slips, it falls at a height where death is inevitable no matter how much you climb.

“Please save me!!”

It was such a scary experience that the words “help me” automatically came out.

“Achacha. Hmm…”

“Huh…Huhuh…”

“Sorry. I’m so excited to meet someone who recognizes my work after a long time.”

“…! So..is that so?”

My tongue twisted as I took a deep breath out of relief that I had survived.

“Sorry. I’ll hug you again, this time carefully…”

Doridori doridori.

I desperately shook my head.

Cheonhwi Jeon, 25 years old.

He was a man who couldn’t even ride rides properly because he was scared.

The stairs leading up to heaven continued for quite a long time.

Meanwhile, the World Tree, who had been watching me, picked me up again and began to quietly boast about changing the demon world.

I thought it would be better to hear this explanation than to go up the stairs without saying anything, so I quietly listened to the World Tree.

As I listened, I felt at ease as if I was being influenced by nature, and as befits the world tree, which is called the mother of nature, I almost fell asleep feeling the immense warmth in her arms.

“Arrived.”

Before we knew it, we had reached the gates of the majestic fortress that extended all the way to the end of the stairs.

“Welcome, Cheonhwi. We sincerely welcome you once again to the heavenly walls that have never been breached in defense wars that lasted for centuries.”

Let the world tree bow its head slightly.

It seemed.

Hundreds of soldiers salute me from the high walls of the castle.

gulp..

The grandeur makes me swallow my saliva without even realizing it.

Soon the door to the castle wall began to slowly open, and I had no choice but to close my eyes at the sight I saw inside.

That’s right…

Because nothing was visible.

“Unauthorized persons cannot see the inside or enter.”

Even if you close your eyes because you feel blinded by the pure white light shining from inside the castle walls, the heavenly light still shines brightly through your closed eyes.

“Only one.”

“Yes?”

” Just one thing for Cheonhwi, who is basking in this light. We will grant any wish you have.”

“..What are you saying?”

“We are giving you a chance. An opportunity to grant any wish.”

“…Any wish?”

“Yes.”

“That’s me..?”

“Heaven sees you as the person who made the greatest contribution to this conquest of the Demon World.”

“It’s not Suyeon..?”

“Yes.”

“……”

“You can think about it slowly. Because we have a lot of time.”

The worries were long.

however

“I decided.”

The resolution was quick.

“What is it?”

“Please restore Lauriel to heaven.”

“!!…”

“I’ll take that. Today was a great day thanks to World Tree. I can just go home now, right?”

“Sleep, just a moment!”

As I was using chivalry and thinking about going to the PC room with Su-ah today, the world tree caught me.

“What?”

“It’s not..! Any wish is possible? We can even give you at least one depraved wish other than murder…”

“Oh, that’s good. Since it happened like that, please make it so that Lauriel, who was corrupted, did not become corrupted either.”

“!…”

“Chivalry, Lee Soo…”

“You can’t go!”

“I have to go defeat that big boss!”

“That’s not important?!”

“It’s so important?!”

Behind the World Tree, who touched his forehead, the huge castle gate began to close.

“Ah…”

“Why are you doing that?”

“The heavens have acknowledged this wish…”

“Oh, that’s good?”

“There has never been a single person who uses a wish for someone else…”

“I am the type of person who takes first place a lot, both in terms of clear ranking and Sowon. So, I will take the boss in first place.”

“…Instead, I would like to say thank you.”

“Yes! Thank you so much!”

The World Tree laughed at my answer.

“I really envy how a man like you exists on earth.”

“How about coming to Earth sometime?”

“…I should go there sometimes, at least to see the child who will succeed me.”

“Are you not looking at me?”

“I will see you both.”

at that time.

All the huge castle gates were closed.

When I opened my eyes because the dazzling light could no longer pass through my closed eyes…

“I will make room for you.”

I’ve always seen it, but today I saw Lauriel shining especially brightly before my eyes.

“I’m jealous of you, Lauriel, it would be nice if I had a man like this too.”

[…]

Lauriel is looking down at me, paying no heed to the words of the World Tree.

“I’ve always thought that white would look better than black, but seeing it in person, it suits you very well.”

It was only then that I realized it for the first time.

The fact that even angels shed tears.

[…]

There was no conversation, but I could tell.

“Is it your turn to praise me to your heart’s content?”

I could easily tell just by looking at Lauriel’s eyes that she was very grateful to me.

An archangel who carefully hugs me.

As I felt that they were acting cautiously out of fear of getting injured, I suddenly remembered the past time when I received help from Lauriel.

“You don’t have to be too grateful.”

[…]

“For me, who had no skills on the 4th floor before, you saved my friend and me too.”

[…]

“I heard that there. My skill in this episode was a skill that didn’t exist originally and was given to me by Lauriel herself.”

[…]

“I received this much, but I can’t just receive it and run away.”

[…]

“Thank you. Lauriel. I don’t know if I’ll ever see Lauriel in the future.”

For the first time.

“I really enjoyed the time I spent with Lauriel.”

I hugged him.

I was held in the arms of a great angel who was 3 to 4 times bigger than me, and I also hugged Lauriel.

“You’re so big.”

I couldn’t hold her all because she was so huge.

[.my.]

It gets smaller.

[.you.]

She started to get small enough for me to hug her.

[.I missed you.]

A man of a thousand.

I couldn’t remember what my past life was like, but I’m sure if it was me in my past life, I would have answered like this.

“Me too.”

Soon, I hugged Lauriel, who was just about the same size as Sooyeon.

If the World Tree made me feel a motherly warmth, Lauriel seemed to have a scent that purified my mind.

“I don’t know the world after the 10th floor is conquered, so does the tower still exist?”

Lauriel shakes her head from side to side.

“Then is today the last time we meet?”

[…]

She is neither positive nor negative.

“…I’ll miss you.”

I slowly raise my head and make eye contact with Lauriel.

“I will never forget.”

[…]

at that time.

I raised my tiptoes.

Not me, but Lauriel.

When Lauriel raised her tiptoes, I felt the touch of her lips for the first time.

side.

“..The day will come when I can kiss Daecheon Love.”

[.I hope you don’t get sick.]

Then suddenly, huge wings appeared from Lauriel’s back and enveloped me.

[.I hope your future will not be difficult.]

“…”

[.I am always watching you.]

“…”

[.Don’t forget, my dear.]

The wings that covered me disappear.

Not only the wings but also the angel I was hugging disappeared.

“…Huh?”

Is there any way to say goodbye to oneself in a trivial way?

“Oh my!”

Even though he was standing alone in the room, Nyamu, like a ghost, noticed that his father had come and toddled across the door.

“Daddy’s here?”

“Aaaah!”

I picked up Nyamu who wanted to be hugged by me and hugged her.

Then, the moment I gave my magic power to Nyamu and walked out of the door.

“..huh?”

The first person to notice the incident was Suyeon.

“Magic power..?”
