Imperial calendar year 394.

Seongguk is crying.

by a woman.

“Saint! Stop it!”

“If the saint goes, who will truly support the religious order!”

“Stop! This is a matter that has already been decided by the empire, so why are you opposing it?”

“The Demon Forest is a cursed forest! This is not a place for a noble person like a saint to go!”

Everyone is crying, but the woman’s will is unbending. The woman is stubborn.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

The woman walks. The path that everyone is extremely opposed to. The path that people cry out for is impossible and criticize as foolish.

The woman’s name is Saint Irowell.

*****

Now, let’s imagine something very interesting.

There was food prepared for breakfast, huh? When I went to check it in the morning, it was completely gone.

“Let’s embroider.”

You shouldn’t just ignore it. I am the head of this place. I am the captain of Aru, the lord of Beatrice, and the leader of Uriel. You should never look ridiculous. This is because my face and prestige are being undermined, and furthermore, the hierarchy of my group is being destroyed.

“Let’s embroider obediently. This is important.”

“Kengkkeong? why? What’s going on?”

“Our breakfast is gone.”

“… ! Wow! Kkkk! Kkkk!”

Aru barks like crazy when he hears that his meal is missing.

You can’t just trust it. That could be acting. Since puberty, Aru’s acting skills have improved considerably, and these days, Aru’s acting skills are at a level that can fool even me.

As a director, I want to praise an actor with good acting skills, but it’s a different story if that actor embezzled money.

but.

“Today’s breakfast was a salad made of vegetables.”

Startle-.

“There is no way Aru, the wolf, stole and ate the salad.”

“Gulp-.”

“Lord Beatrice, why are you shaking your body and swallowing your saliva?”

Beatrice’s eyes narrow at my sharp point. Could it be that you were the culprit? You always pretended to be noble and had a sense of weight, but then you ended up skipping breakfast? Can you still call yourself a knight?

“… I think I vaguely saw it in my sleep.”

“What.”

“Something whitish is moving towards the master’s hilt.”

“… !”

Something whitish!

There is only one white person in our group. Former archangel Uriel, who hasn’t grown any wings in a hundred years and is still a baby angel.

Aru is covered in long navy blue hair that reaches down to her thighs, and Beatrice always sticks to a brown ponytail. Neither of them reminds me of pure white at all.

“Woori LLC?”

Hot-.

“I just heard the heartbeat. Don’t even think about lying. You secretly stole it, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“… Yes?”

“What are you asking? He said I ate it. I’m so hungry.”

Why is this bitch so confident when she steals?

“Could you possibly kill me?”

“… .”

Uriel had a plan.

The plan of An Ha-muin, who trusts others and does whatever he wants.

The plan is so ignorant and perfect that I can’t say anything about it.

“Then you cook.”

“There are no ingredients.”

“Ay, you can go into the mountain yourself and save the day.”

“Ask me to go into the demon forest?”

Well, now that I think about it, Uriel is a bit of a bitch who can’t defeat even most monsters. Even if Uriel dies, it will be the descent of Michael Masurim.

You really have a plan.

Thanks to you, I feel better in the morning.

“Ugh, that’s it. hey! Aru! Come get some food!”

“Kkkk! Today’s meal is for the young demons!”

“My pet dog talks a lot! If you talk back one more time, I’ll give you vegetables for dinner!”

“Cow… Bad demons… Wicked leader… .”

“Where did you learn those words? What kind of company am I? Do you hear the word vice?”

Still, I have a reliable assistant (slave). That’s right, Aru.

If Uriel shows up shamelessly, I also show up shamelessly. Of course, my target is Aru.

If Aru had been a little smarter, he would have passed it on to Beatrice, pointing out that she was a ‘junior’.

“Kkiing… Wicked demons… I always work alone… .”

Aru, who straddles the line between wolf and human intelligence, could not even think of such an idea. With his shoulders drooping, Aru feebly got up and trudged away into the demon forest.

Not long after, the sound of monsters chopping down was heard from afar. Our proud Aru has already grown to the level of a strong man. It has been quite some time since our group became a group of people with a certain prestige in the Demon Forest.

Of course, it has not yet reached the level of the Five Kings. Now, after only two hundred years of training, the balance of the realm of the Five Kings has collapsed.

Actually, I was the one who stole the food, but hehe. No one would suspect that I was the one who watched Uriel eat salad and then skipped other foods in a whitish outfit. This is why you have to act well.

“Master, I have something to ask.”

“Why?”

“A few days ago… You were always excited that you would meet someone in the near future, right? I would like to ask who that ‘person’ is. A person in this magical forest… .”

“I was curious about that too. Young leader, what kind of person are you meeting here in the middle of the demon world?”

Ah, was that what you were talking about?

It’s about time I told you. Okay, since Aru isn’t here, I’ll take this opportunity to explain.

“Sir Beatrice, Mr. Uriel. Have you ever heard of the king of humans?”

“King of humans? What is that?”

“King of humans… I know. But why mention it? There is no human king in this era.”

Why isn’t there, I’m alive and well. They make the king of humans into a man who was not even born without knowing about it.

Every race has a natural ‘king’ of that race. Like the Dragon Lord who rules the dragon race, the Five Kings who are the pinnacle of each race, or the Lang King Aru. Or, like the devil king who stands at the helm of evil.

Humans are no exception. There is a human being born as a natural king, not a formal king, not an artificially created king.

There is no law that says a person must live mixed in with human society.

“Do you know, by any chance, a primitive man who made a fuss in the western part of Masurin about twenty years ago?”

“… I know, I heard it.”

“Do you mean the human who was called Nio among the monsters? It is said to be the only opponent of Endros, the dragon king who reigns in the west. Hmm, could it be that he is the ‘King of Humans’?”

“That’s right. He was famous as a great strongman, but disappeared twenty years ago.”

It is now the year 414 of the imperial calendar.

Twenty years ago, in the year 394 of the Imperial Calendar, a human entered the Masurim. Irowell, saint of reform. With the absurd goal of reforming Masurim.

Everyone snorted, but the saint of reform did not give up. This is because the empire at the time planned a very long-term project of as long as 220 years, ‘annihilation of the forest.’ Saint Irowell argued that burning the entire forest, no matter how cursed it was, crossed the line, and eventually took the stand herself.

Of course, Saint Irowell’s move failed. But she makes time. About a hundred years. In addition, after entering the Masurim, Saint Irowell experienced all kinds of hardships and hardships that she had never experienced while living in the Holy Church, but even through them, she did not forget to spread love and edification.

Then, a primitive man becomes influenced by a saint. A barbaric primitive man who did not even have a proper language, called Nio.

Saint Irowell died. By a group of monsters under the control of Dragon King Endros, the ruler of the western part of the Demon Forest. And perhaps because of her death, Nioh chooses to go into hiding.

Afterwards, after breaking his long silence, he came out into the world and did something incredible… anyway.

Today I meet the Nioh. And it will be embraced.

To be my ‘third assistant’.

hmm? Why a third assistant when we have Uriel? Since when was Uriel my assistant? It’s an embarrassment that you need when you secretly eat late-night snacks.

“I heard that the king of humans is a very strong man. Do you mind?”

“Why, aren’t you confident? Aren’t everyone on our team awesome except for that insectivorous guy?”

“What, what? Young leader! How dare you call me a carnivore!”

“That’s not true… The opponent is Nioh. Twenty years ago, everyone was talking a lot about how the Five Kings might become the Six Kings.”

“What is that! There is nothing that a paladin cannot say to an angel.”

“Are you saying that the person who had his wings torn off because of his blasphemy was an angel?”

“… ! Hey, Beatrice, you… !”

Uriel grabs the back of his neck and is about to fall. I laughed out loud.

“How about you just acknowledge it like I do, Uriel? It’s easy to be corrupted.”

“Don’t say nonsense! I will definitely return to Archangel!”

“I don’t think this would be said by someone who hasn’t had a feather on their wing for the past 100 years.”

“Qu… ! Just wait and see! Your wings will grow quickly!”

“Puhhuh.”

“Are you laughing just now? Being a paladin is such a bad thing… !”

Meanwhile, Uriel reacts violently to Beatrice’s faint smile while ignoring my big smile.

Anyway, when did he turn into such a clown? When I first met him, he was the iron-blooded judge himself, clad in flames. As his status was downgraded, did he degenerate to a mental level? Being teased by a swordsman like Beatrice.

“Of course, it can be dangerous. If Nioh decides to oppose us, there is a strong possibility that all four of us will face disaster.”

He said, stepping between Uriel and Beatrice, who were holding Beatrice by the collar and shaking her back and forth. They both look at me with round eyes. It’s like, but do you really need to contact them? As if silently asking,

“But, when has there ever been a time when we avoided something that was considered dangerous? As long as it’s not suicidal, you should do everything you can!”

I even attempted suicide before for my plan. Compared to that, this is a small thing.

“A hundred years ago.”

Beatrice opens her mouth. A hundred years ago was when she and I first met.

“At that time, my lord, your life was at stake. To subdue God.”

“Did I do that? My memory is vague.”

“My lord, he was weaker than the gods of the time who even used the power of Lucifer, but he proudly stood before me. Even when Uriel was an archangel, he stood before him without using any of his strength.”

“Honestly, I was really scared at the time, but why is the story coming out now?”

“It’s because I have a feeling that my lord will do something similar to what he did then.”

As expected, Beatrice is sharp. I also have a good memory. How can a mere human being clearly remember something that happened a hundred years ago?

“Is that a feeling?”

“Yes?”

“Is it a feeling? What I just said.”

“Ah, yes. It’s a feeling.”

“I have good intuition. He was born a warrior.”

Are you going to do something similar to what you did a hundred years ago this time?

I do not know yet.

I don’t know about Nioh.

What kind of story does King Nioh have? How did he meet Saint Irowell, how did he fall in love with her, and how did he choose to go into hiding?

And two hundred years from now, why did they join hands with the Great Sage ‘Merlin Gregory’ to defeat the Dragon King Endros?

I don’t know yet. Since I haven’t researched the data, I don’t know what color the paint in my hand is, so I can’t predict what kind of picture I will draw.

“First of all, everyone is doing maintenance. I’m going to meet Nioh today. I’m going to go somewhere for a while. When you come back, please praise me for doing a good job.”

“Yes, God will be polishing the great sword.”

“I… .”

“Baby Angel has nothing to do. Just watch Sir Beatrice. You’re nothing more than a carnivore, but you’re pretending to be busy.”

“Well, what do you mean… !”

“Wow, I see you’re talking too hot. Anyway, stay calm. Don’t crash.”

“Qu… ! We’ll see… ! Although I am currently a carnivore, if only I could become an archangel… !!”

“Oh, you’re still living in a cloud.”

In my opinion, it would take at least 10,000 years for Uriel to become an archangel. We can present as evidence that no progress has been made for a hundred years.

Leaving behind Uriel, who gritted his teeth and let out a groan in pain, I left the place and went behind a large tree. Then he took out an object from his pocket.

A black rosary that has been worn for over two hundred years and still shines.

“Tel.”

I placed my lips on the rosary and whispered softly with purple magical power. Soon, my favorite voice in the world will be heard from beyond the rosary.

[I was waiting for you, Joker.]

I just heard the voice, but the corners of my mouth naturally rose up. Is this called love?
