Unlike the battle that took as long as two months. It took only a few days to clean up the mess.

Didn’t they say that creating something is much more difficult than destroying it?

Using the reverse principle, Siron and his party returned the collapsed Colosseum to dirt, and cut off the branches of the trees that were uprooted when the ground was overturned and collected them in one corner of the site.

The reason the trees were processed into lumber rather than replanted was because of Hugo’s mansion.

“Tsu-eup…”

Siron stared with a bitter expression at the mansion that had boasted of its beautiful appearance.

cracked stone wall,

A window that disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps because Eldrina came first, there was no broken glass left on the window frame, but the pieces of glass that could not be collected were strewn on the dirt floor.

“Do I need to repair the windshield as well?”

“I, I don’t know. You told me to remove the barrier.”

Even Seira, who played a very important role in the restoration work, raised her white flag as if she thought this was too much. There was magic to create crystal-clear ice, but the magic to create glass to use as windows did not yet exist.

Seira would have been able to quickly create a magic that created crystals out of thin air, but it was a miracle that the mansion could withstand the impact of being expected to collapse. The mansion had thousands of windows, so it would not have been efficient for Seira to restore that many windows on her own.

“No one told me to ask you. first. Roughly clear away the glass pieces. I need to quickly call the craftsmen and have them repair it.”

“Don’t you have to do it today? I can feel the energy of tremendous anger from the top floor…”

Although Lucia did not look inside the mansion, she was convinced that the true identity of the anger was Eldrina, and she cowered in fear that her anger might go out of hand.

Of course, Eldrina did not have the power to make Lucia tremble with fear, but since Lucia had lived in a separate house for many years and benefited from Eldrina’s favor, she felt that she should do her duty as a child to Eldrina, not just nominally, but half-heartedly. did.

“What’s wrong with everyone? It’s a trivial thing that happened while saving the world, but aren’t you too scared? Be a little more proud and bleed off your shoulders.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right.”

Siron patted the wrinkled shoulders of Seira and Lucia and continued speaking with a calm expression.

“And, Eldrina, would you be that narrow-minded?”

“I didn’t say that much, well…”

“Anyway, when it comes to matters related to my uncle, he doesn’t seem to be a bit excessive. Even if that were the case, nothing would be said. Plus, there’s loot, so why worry?”

booty.

It was a word referring to the armor and hammer left behind by Corax.

The tiger died and left behind its skin, and Corax died and left behind a huge golden armor. The size alone was enough to be three meters long, and the hammer he used was not lost, so if it were disposed of at the right price, it would be enough to not only repair the mansion but also pay Siron’s debt.

‘…the golden giant should have stayed.’

Unlike the by-products left behind by Corax, the corpse of the fifth golden giant disappeared without leaving a trace. If it had remained intact, a palace would have been built instead of a new mansion. As a poetic theory, it was just a shame.

An ordinary person would faint just by being near it, so it would have taken dozens of priests for several days to sell it, but it was not a big problem for Siron, whose divine power was gushing out like fire.

“By the way. Shouldn’t Lucia get ready for school? Siriel says it’s her graduation semester soon, but I’m not sure if attendance will be okay.”

Siron thought of Siriel, who had been called by Hugo early in the morning. No matter how much Siriel declared that she would help Siron, Siron also had her own things to do and was busy, so Siron sent Siriel to Hugo.

“…It’ll be okay.”

A resigned answer. Lucia sighed and lowered her head.

“And, you can just complete the course without graduating. Well, it’s not like I’m going to get a job at a government office. What good is a degree?”

“Are you really okay? He said he wants to go to graduate school.”

“No, I’m not going. Because of this incident, all affection has disappeared.”

“Jeong?”

“Yeah… Like you said, I think swinging a sword is better for me.”

While clearing up the ruined land, Lucia was able to have time to think a lot.

The reason she got involved in this case was the accident of Professor Reynold, who made a good suggestion to her, but as if there was such a thing as a fate that could not be escaped, Sado, the devil’s liaison, ended up getting involved.

The image of Varian turning into dust and scattering as soon as Corax dies. His identity was not a living creature, but a being similar to an alter ego created by an apostle.

It wasn’t that I didn’t know. At first glance, Lucia felt uncomfortable with him, but since he was an elf with a broken spirit, she didn’t feel the need to dig into him any further.

‘My eight arms are so fierce, what kind of degree do I have for my eight arms?’

Lucia, who felt an unfortunate fate, sighed deeply. I didn’t want to hold the holy sword because I was afraid of something like this, but there’s no way that the effects of holding the holy sword 500 years ago would still be felt to this day. It was strange.

‘…Could it be because of the theory?’

-With great power comes great responsibility. If you don’t take up the sword, you might go to hell!

While I was looking at the poem with sad eyes, an old memory suddenly came to mind.

once upon a time. A time when Yura and I were traveling alone. At that time, Kylie was a mentally complete child, so she would sometimes complain to Yura, but every time, Yura would tell her a funny story before going to sleep like a mother.

– Oh, hell?

-okay! That’s not all. People will be torn apart by waves of demons and beasts, and there will be many war orphans like you.

-Well, that’s my fault…

-Even if it’s not your fault, people will blame you in hell? Why didn’t you hold the holy sword?! I died because of you! Wow! Hehehe!

-Kyaaang!

‘…Is this the fate of those with great power?’

Even while she was thinking deeply, Lucia was constantly sweeping up pieces of glass.

That night.

Seira and Lucia laid their exhausted bodies on the bed, but Siron had to move his body at Eldrina’s call. For your information, Latera was also instructed in advance to keep an eye on Lucia, as she could clearly predict what Eldrina would say.

Luckily, my prediction came true.

‘…was I ever this handsome?”

Siron looked at the size of his clothes in the large mirror.

‘I thought makeup was something gay people did, but it’s pretty cool.’

Instead of the tunic and casual pants he usually wears, he wore a stylish tuxedo and makeup that enhanced his appearance to a degree that was surprising even to his own eyes. Although he looked exactly like his previous life, it was just amazing. In addition, even though he did not personally go to a fabric store to have it tailored, he felt no discomfort as if he had found his own owner, so Siron continued to express exclamations even though he knew it was an unsophisticated response.

It wasn’t just Shiron who thought it was okay to look dressed up.

“Shinsu is clear.”

Eldrina was not pretentious but praised Siron sincerely. The mansion’s employees were crowded around her, all of whom had been struggling to decorate Shiron for hours.

“When did you prepare all this again?”

“…I needed a place to turn my eyes for a moment. If you are not buried in these things, it will be difficult to stay sane even when you see the mansion being destroyed right before your eyes.”

“Well… I offer my deepest condolences.”

Siron glanced sideways at the empty window. As I was changing my clothes, the cold wind was blowing in, so it was a disaster that was difficult to ignore.

Eldrina, aware that wrinkles had formed around her mouth over the past few days, covered her mouth with a fan and tried to maintain her composure.

“Now, it’s really over, right?”

“Of course.”

Siron answered immediately without hesitation. The strange clouds in the sky had disappeared, but Eldrina’s hand holding the fan was still trembling slightly as if she was anxious.

“Have you finished organizing it?”

“Of course.”

“Then, just to confirm, did you clean up that ugly amphitheater?”

“Yes.”

“The land that was turned over and in disarray has been re-established?”

“Of course.”

“My flower garden. Can I return the flower garden that I have carefully cared for for years?”

A confident answer follows. Eldrina’s face became brighter, but Siron could not give her the answer she wanted to the last question.

“…Saving the world requires sacrifice.”

Pop!

What does this mean? It wasn’t the sound of Eldrina’s nerves being cut. Eldrina threw back the fan that was broken in two in her hand.

“…I’m just glad that no one died. The mansion almost collapsed… no problem.”

“This is also a blessing from Eldrina for allowing us to fight in the mansion.”

“So?”

“That’s right. Thanks to Eldrina’s ocean-like generosity, mankind has maintained peace.”

Siron bowed his head and gave all the credit to Eldrina.

Hasn’t it been said since ancient times that praise can make even a whale dance? If Eldrina’s anger could be quelled just by talking a little, Siron could talk for hours. As if Siron’s spinning the ball had worked, Eldrina waved her hand in place of a fan.

“Hmm… You can’t save everyone… Hmm… You’re not even a god.”

“Thank you for your understanding. Eldrina.”

“Yeah, looking back, I think it’s funny that I’m so obsessed with just cutting grass.”

Eldrina’s generosity did not end with just words as she smiled. Eldrina walked towards Siron, who bowed her head, and gently hugged him.

“I’m so glad that my son-in-law… is safe.”

“…Eldrina?”

“What is Eldrina? I should call it my mother-in-law. Your mother is fine too.”

“…Can’t we use Eldrina?”

“Oh my, are you shy?”

Eldrina felt a nostalgic feeling at the sight of the youthful youth. Her father-in-law, Hugo, was also clumsy when it came to dealing with women and often showed a youthful appearance like Siron, but Eldrina looked very similar to Siron’s youthful enemy.

“It’s okay. I’m going to get engaged, so what’s the problem? Let’s say you rehearse in advance. Right, honey?”

Eldrina turned her head and looked at the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in a corner.

“…No.”

Hugo closed his eyes tightly and answered. Eldrina was not the only one waiting for Siron at the mansion.

“I… am against marriage.”

“Ah, there you go again.”

“I came here because I heard there was a surprise, but if I had known it would be like this, I would have taken Siriel and gone on an expedition.”

Hugo sat on the floor and glared at the two traitors without moving.

Hugo thought this was such a childish thing to do as he got older, but Hugo was only frustrated because he didn’t have enough time to mentally prepare. If you had just informed me in advance, this ugly situation wouldn’t have happened, so what is all this about?

“Honey, don’t be like that.”

Siron’s whole body was agitated as he avoided the glare, but Eldrina walked towards Hugo at a brisk pace as if nothing had happened.

“It’s not a marriage, it’s an engagement. Siriel doesn’t go far.”

“…That doesn’t matter at all, ma’am. I feel very betrayed now. How can you make a decision without telling me?”

“I was going to tell my uncle, but as you know, Apostle…”

“Poetics.”

Hugo released his lotus position and stood up. Whiiing – the wind blew outside the window. As my forehead widened, red strands of hair began to spread all the way to the top of my head.

“I think you are the person who will lead Changcheon. Why don’t you go to the magic world with me? Maybe Glenn would like to see you too.”

“This is my prophecy, Siriel is the one who will lead Changcheon.”

“Poetics…”

“And, I think I am destined to marry Siriel.”

Siron jumped out of the window leaving only those words. I was wondering what the hell was going on wearing a tuxedo, but I couldn’t help it because Hugo was blocking the door.
