When I finally got out of the house, I had nothing to do and was able to move around freely for the first time in a long time.

I spent my normal leisure time walking around here and there, meeting and chatting with people who had built a career with me.

‘Everyone is full of personality.’

As much time has passed since I first came here.

There were many faces I saw for the first time, so I had a lot of fun talking to them.

Thinking that it would be nice if more people would come in the future, I left the place where they were and sat down under the shade of a tree to rest for a while.

I leaned against a tree and thought deeply.

“What should I do now?”

In the past, all I did was relax at home and look at photos of my colleagues while chatting with the goddess.

Either that or playing with the archangels.

‘But if you go there, you’ll never see anything good.’

It was clear that if I went, I would end up like the archangels.

You probably spend your days buried in paperwork or overworked like them.

That was something I never wanted to experience.

‘Hmm… Then, should we make direct causality normal?’

Originally, it was impossible.

Because only goddesses and archangels can directly touch the law of causality.

But I had an unfounded confidence that I could do it.

‘The methods are also different.’

The way for me to establish causality is to descend directly from the lower world.

However, you must not encounter the warrior party.

Their fate and ordeal are already over, and if they become entangled with me, the causality will become even more twisted and their fate will be twisted.

‘Okay, I’ve decided.’

We don’t know when the goddess will return.

It was clear that all the angels would fall out in this situation, so my conscience pricked me to just leave it there.

Anyway, I decided to do that and got up.

I headed straight to the passage leading to the lower world.

***

The lower world has come down again.

First of all, in order to properly adjust the causality, you must go to a place where the causality is disturbed.

If you ask how to get there without a map, the answer is this.

‘I just feel it.’

If you think about it, does it make sense that I, a divine being, can’t feel any of this?

It was a really funny question.

‘Currently, there are a total of 10 places where causality is distorted.’

It was spread out all over the empire, and the last place was the Demon King’s Castle at the end of the Demon World, so it seemed like it would take quite some time.

If you don’t get distracted at a normal pace, it will take about 1 to 2 years.

Some might say this time is long.

‘Well, it’s just human standards.’

By celestial standards, it was only a moment.

I made a rough estimate and nodded.

‘Since the goddess above is not there, let’s think of it as a leisurely trip.’

I also felt a sense of regret for leaving the lower world so quickly.

When will we experience something like this again in the underworld?

In times like these, I had to make the most of my time.

‘But you can’t stay too long, so two years is the limit.’

There was no problem with just enjoying it.

‘It’s not okay for a party of heroes to meet… It’ll be okay. Since we have caught the demon lord, we will live in peace.’

Perhaps you will enjoy a peaceful daily life where you laugh and talk happily.

When I thought about it that way, I felt fortunate.

Because those children are so deserving of a peaceful daily life.

Even though I left suddenly, I was destined to leave anyway, and since I was just a porter, I probably wouldn’t worry too much about it.

‘If I come up to heaven later, I’ll see you then.’

I don’t know when that time will be.

I left on my trip with a faint smile.

***

At the same time, a laboratory in the Magic Tower.

Lien, now a magic tower lord and one of only two archmages in the empire, devoted himself frantically to research without sleeping a wink for a week.

This is because they were developing magic to restore the spirit of Irene, a saint who was on the verge of going crazy, and Deanna, a warrior.

It’s not that he never thought about opening the door to heaven, where Yucheon is, but the risk was too great, so Lien decided to develop a magic that would return the two’s minds.

As an archmage, creating magic is not that difficult.

However, the existence of Yucheon had penetrated so deeply into the inner lives of the saint and the warrior that no amount of magic could budge them.

“Aaagh!”

Lien ripped out my hair.

Rojan, the archmage and her teacher, scolds her as she screams in a situation where there is absolutely no answer in sight.

“You’re so noisy!”

“Ahhhh!”

As if his words were not heard, Lien continued to scream, and Rojan sighed, materializing magical power and shooting it.

Pop!

The magic power fired by Rojan hits Lien’s head.

Lien, who came to his senses through shock therapy, stopped screaming.

She stopped screaming, looked blankly into space, and fell down on the desk.

It’s as if he doesn’t want to do anything.

Roseanne said to him.

“If the teacher is doing this and the so-called disciple is doing it, is it okay to use it?”

“… I can’t even see the answer. I can’t sleep, what is this… My happy peace… daily… Give it back… ”

Even if you don’t sleep for a week and research like crazy, you can’t even come up with a clue.

Lien no longer had the energy to continue his research.

It’s exhausting and difficult.

Although she felt the urge to give up everything right now, Lien knew that she couldn’t do that.

‘… I can’t give up.’

Although Lavra and Mer say they each set out to find their own minds, in reality, they know that there is no one but themselves who can solve this situation.

If she stopped, their condition would get even worse, and there was a high chance that it would end up in a bad direction.

So it shouldn’t have stopped.

‘It would be nice to have leaves of the World Tree or something like that.’

How could those confident elves give that to an outsider?

No matter how much she was a warrior and a saint who saved the world, she did not think that Mer would be able to obtain the leaves of the world tree from the elves, whose confidence was sky-high.

Because elves are that kind of race.

‘Mer is unusual.’

Even when I first met her, it was hard to believe that she was an elf, and she did not ignore humans.

At first, Lien thought the information about the elves was wrong, but later realized that it was only Mer.

‘It was truly a gem.’

The only emotions I felt when I stopped by the elf village were shame and contempt.

It still makes me grit my teeth to think about a situation where I can’t even touch it because it could turn into a diplomatic issue if I make a mistake.

‘I’ll blow up the Hellfire right away now.’

Now she too is a superhuman who has joined the ranks of great wizards.

It is something that even the emperor cannot dare to do lightly.

Do elves look down on someone like that?

Even if he fired hellfire right away, he was innocent.

anyway.

To return to the main point, the situation is so bad and he is the only person who can restore the two.

Lien knew that he had to work harder.

No matter how much I hate the current situation where there is no peaceful daily life or such things.

Because the warrior and the saint were her most precious people.

Lien came to his senses by tapping his cheek.

Then he shouted in a loud voice as if he was making a promise.

“Let’s go! you can do it! Cheer up and fix them both! Play around and have fun! There are so many fun things in the world! I have to take the lead with the hero who lived in the countryside and the saint who lived in an orphanage!”

“Noisy!”

“Azuaaaa!”

“Ugh.”

Roseanne couldn’t hide her sigh as she looked at her student who was starting to go crazy.

Who would look at that and think he’s a great wizard?

It was a situation where people thought he was mentally unstable.

‘… ‘

However, Roseanne burst out laughing at the sight of her student coming to his senses.

Although at times he was an unpleasant, foolish, and childlike disciple.

From the moment I first got it, I raised it thinking of it as my daughter.

Even though he was verbally abusive, he was more worried than anything else, so seeing his student’s bad face all week made him feel bad.

It was amazing to see the student come to his senses again.

“Take it easy.”

“Aaaa!”

“Stop it!”

It would be great if it weren’t for the fact that it does that sometimes when I’m excited.

Rojan sighed and shook his head, but there was a clearly visible smile on his lips.

“Still, get some sleep.”

Although her motivation was good, Rojan thought that if she pushed herself too hard, something could go wrong, so she used sleep magic to put Lien to sleep.

It was a magic that Lien could have easily blocked, but due to her current state, Lien fell asleep in an instant.

‘Next time you wake up, don’t overdo it. This teacher will be doing it in advance.’

Rojan picked up Lien and laid her on the bed.

I started researching on my own.
