by fnovelpia[You guys were really petty and dirty.]
As the frosty voice subsided, everything around me froze.
[The crime of killing something I cared about is by no means light. You mean thing. I don’t want to see this anymore, so die.]
A small spirit with blue hair and eyes shattered a huge ice sculpture in front of him with a single wave of his hand.
One of a total of 24 beings.
The Spirit King is dead.
Tiring!
◎︎ Asratan, the spirit king of chaos, has died.
◎︎ One Spirit King position becomes vacant.
◎︎ The high-level spirit Attrot is appointed as the Ice Spirit King. All ice spirits are strengthened.
◎︎ The power of all chaos spirits is weakened.
Although she achieved revenge, her always arrogant and stubborn spirit was lost.
This is because the earth spirit that took care of him so that he could adapt when he first became a spirit disappeared.
“More… I should have done well.”
It was extremely painful.
Because I always treated you with a cold voice.
For the first time, I regretted my actions.
What have you been living for?
I feel skeptical.
… That feeling reached me.
Jump up!
“Kiyaang!”
I woke up from a dream and let out a roar filled with unpleasant emotions.
And then he stretched out with a sore body.
“Korororong~”
I felt a little dizzy from the dream I just had, so I did some stretching.
And I thought.
‘Artrot… This is already the ninth time I’ve dreamed of you. ‘What are you doing?’
It’s already been a year.
At first, I was annoyed just by seeing it in my dreams, but that’s not the case these days.
If only this was real and not a dream.
She is changing.
“Keyu~”
I don’t want to get involved, though.
I can’t help but be worried.
It just feels bad to dream of him.
“Keu~ Did the black guy wake up?”
Softly~
It’s okay though.
Soon my disciple will be serving delicious food.
If you eat it, you can instantly relieve your frustration.
so.
“Kang!!”
Give me food.
“Yes. Are you hungry? Hang in there. I’ll go right away and cook you food!”
Today’s breakfast was Ronika’s handmade pasta filled with great care. I bit into five cotton stalks each with my small mouth and inhaled them.
The taste was enough to make me forget about the unpleasant dream of Atrot.

“Sister!~ We were playing together.“
A four-story building with flower beds and a yard.
As we entered the orphanage, a crowd of as many as 100 people flocked to Lonika. More than half of them were picked up by Ronica and ranged in age from 5 to 15 years old.
They smiled happily and spoke to Ronica as if asking her to look after them.
It’s like a swarm of ants following a chick.
“Nice to meet you all.”
Ronika briefly said hello to everyone one by one and went upstairs.
A vertically filled paper storage bin.
A bookshelf filled with those archives.
“Keu~ Let’s take a look~”
This is Venus’ information warehouse, and it was created based on the results of infiltrating several Venus organization members and informants trained at the orphanage a year ago.
There were a lot of interesting stories, so whenever Ronika was bored, she checked out the latest news and information here.
It was the perfect place to kill time.
“Hmph~ Looks like Beren has settled into the bookstore safely. Since the Magic Tower is close by, it contains quite a few stories about magic. I’m glad you seem to be doing well.”
Ronica picked up a document on the desk and read the text with her eyes, smiling happily.
I was also bored, so I looked at a random piece of paper.
It was a separate letter sent to Ronica.
[Leader. This is what I felt while I was here, but I kept thinking of the captain. I will never forget that bright smile. I want to see you sometime, so come visit me sometime. I found a delicious restaurant. Let’s go together.]
Courtship letter?… .
“Kang!!!”
Cheesy!
“Oh. Black guy. What if I tear the letter?”
“Keuuu! Krraaa!!!”
“It’s not worth watching?… That’s probably true for black people, but I’m a little curious?”
“Kwang!!!”
“Hehe. Even black people who get angry are cute.”
Ronika and I continued to look at the documents. The organization members had categorized everything from important information to useless information in advance, so I was able to choose appropriately.
[August 1st. 3-day Lisbella Festival. It is said that a famous 6-star wizard will appear and perform in the highlight.]
[Discord between the kingdom and the people of the empire, and small disputes spread due to logging activities along the border.]
[The black coat with red buttons worn by the Duke of Avalon is popular in social circles.]
Information that allows you to easily find out about the current state of the world.
There was an abundance of information.
Ronica personally selected adults who were wandering around in the slums and put them to work, and now more than 200 people are sending in information from all over.
Moreover, these days, the number of information sources solely for the purpose of collecting information is increasing.
Although it is still only a superficial information power.
One day, information may be used as force.
“Huh? This… .”
Suddenly, Ronika picked up a piece of paper.
Looks very focused.
Curious as to what information he had seen that made his eyes so wide, I walked up next to him and took a quick glance.
[Recruiting aspiring warriors for the 32nd class at the Evelyn Warrior Training Center. Regardless of your status, you can pass the three entrance exams. Restricted to ages 12 to 15.]
[P.s. It has high recognition and competition, and unlike the academy, instructors provide individual guidance to each cadet. However, many instructors are arbitrary and cost a lot of money, so this is not necessarily a good thing. Instead, you can climb up to the 4th floor of the tower under the guidance of an instructor, and you will be issued a level 9 warrior certificate just by completing the course.]
… hmm?
Recruiting aspiring warriors?
I slowly looked up at Ronica. The guy was staring blankly at the paper as if possessed.
At that moment, Ronika’s past remarks crossed my mind.
‘I want to become a warrior.’
no way… .
◎︎ Regiment skills are temporarily strengthened.
I feel it.
Ronika has a strong desire.
I can clearly feel the burning eyes that want me to go.
Even though he became the head of the wealthy Venus, his desire to be a warrior still did not go away.
Two mesmerized eyes.
‘… ‘That’s where I want to go.’
Warrior… .
What can you say?
Ronika looked at the paper for a while, and I also watched in silence.
For quite a long time.
*
“… … … .”
dark night.
Ronica, who was lying in bed, thought deeply and said nothing, unlike usual, before falling into sleep.
Did he really want to become a warrior?
Actually, I had to face it at some point.
About Ronica’s dream.
The guy wanted to become a warrior. However, it does not have a specific goal.
Because you won’t be ignored.
Because everyone admires it.
Because in the feud with my father, hero was a word of hope.
He must have wanted to become a warrior from a young age due to many other reasons.
I also had such a trivial reason.
What made me a warrior?
How should I view this?
This guy is trying to take a similar path. Wouldn’t it be better to stop him now?
How much should I interfere in his life?
… You asked me to be your family.
Then I… .
Should I stop your dreams?
Should I help?
Tuk.
As I was thinking hard about it, I felt something special.
It’s a familiar sight.
‘Let me borrow your body for a moment.’
◎︎ Use possession.
Ronika got up and opened the window.
chuck.
“F~”
A woman got down and raised her hand.
It was Erica.
According to my orders, he came to see me every three months to report on his current status.
“Your complexion has improved.”
“Ahm~ After dealing with a monster like you, everything else feels insignificant.”
The guy responded lightly and entered the room.
Then, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, he strangely muttered, “My building has been colored so cutely.”
Without any further delay, I pressed on with the report.
“What are you doing these days?”
“Ah~ About that. I set up a home in the mountains to the east. It’s called bankruptcy debt. The kids there are so sturdy and cute.”
“… You have become a bandit.”
“That’s not all. In a little while, you will be able to take control of a commercial area. To make some money with it. however… Maybe you won’t take the money later?”
“Don’t worry. There is a lot of money.”
“I guess so. I would have just taken the money I saved from Rosetta.”
“There are thousands of times that amount of money.”
“… … … … What?”
Erica was still the same.
Over the course of a year, he became a bandit, grew in size, and created his own faction.
In addition, as if he had not skipped training, he has surpassed the 6-star level, and the warlock sent with him improved his skills by forcibly making Pasanchae’s weapons.
That sounds pretty good.
In times of crisis, Erica’s bankruptcy power can be drawn upon at any time other than Venus.
I’m sure you’ll hate this guy… .
If you don’t want to be dragged around by me, you have no choice but to follow.
“Now that we’re done talking about the current situation, let’s go. My kids are waiting desperately because you don’t have a sister.”
“Wait a moment.”
First, I stopped Erica who was trying to return.
I didn’t call you because I had any special business to do. I simply had one thing to ask.
“Why are you calling me? Is there anything you want me to do?”
“What is your dream?“
“Dream?… That’s a very strange question. I don’t live my life thinking about such things. If you want to do what you see in front of you, do it. That’s why I’m still living well even now.”
“… There’s no solution. There must have been a lot of tiring things.”
“That’s right, but~ It’s better than living your life judging what you like and what you don’t like. The most fun is not knowing when something will happen and discovering it while encountering it.
“It’s fun… .”
“If you don’t like it, quit, but if it’s fun, keep running, isn’t life? Stupid people like you don’t know how fun this is.”
Unexpected advice.
No, it was obvious advice.
Try it or stop.
It is also an experience and a life that pursues fun.
Isn’t that a pretty bad philosophy of life?
Thanks to you, I decided.
“… Thank you.”
“What, what?… … Did you just say thank you? Are you?”
“Don’t come here next time.”
“Huh? What does that mean? Does this mean that you are so grateful to me that you are letting me go?”
“The next place you will visit is Evelyn Training Center. If you understand, leave now.”
“… Evelyn Training Center?”
There were a lot of worries, but when you think about it, it was really simple.
When I think back to my past life, I also realized that I was living surprisingly hard.
As a warrior, I thought it was meaningless.
Was it because you liked it?
No, there were more things I disliked.
however… .
It was as fun as it was chasing my dream.
Even though I thought I hated it later, I did not quit and walked the path of a hero.
Even more than mercenaries who were forced to make a living.
Or even just living quietly.
Because this is fun.
Those days when I was deeply tied down by a false dream and worked hard to come.
It was more fun.
Then, disciple.
Go after your dreams.
I will help you if you don’t give up.
What’s there to worry about when I’m here?
It won’t be as hard as it was for me.
Rather, you may be able to shine brightly as the warrior I truly wanted.
So, disciple.
From now on, I will make you a warrior.
*
morning.
Venus 1st floor.
“Captain? Daejaang?”
“Sister. Are you saying you can’t see us?”
“… uh? Boo, did you call me?”
At the call of Rowen and Golden Fist, Ronica was startled and raised her head. Rowen looked at him strangely at his unusual appearance and continued speaking.
“It’s time to go to training. Everyone is waiting.”
“Oh indeed! yes. Let’s go!!”
Ronika stood up angrily and went outside.
At this time, Rowen saw a piece of paper placed where Ronika was sitting.
[Recruiting aspiring warriors for the 32nd class.]
“This is… .”
“Brown bear. What are you doing if you’re not coming?”
“Go, go.”
Rowen looked at the paper carefully and followed the training.
Afterwards, we all trained together, but Ronica was unable to blend in, as if she was floating alone.
A few days passed like that.
“Sister?”
“… … … ah? Did you call me?”
“Why on earth are you acting like that these days? Even though I have no clue, I can see that he is thinking deeply.”
“Ahaha… Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just a little tired. I need to rest a little.”
“Umm… .”
Ronica’s symptoms continued.
So much so that everyone around you notices.
“Ronika~ Let’s come with me~~~ Huh?… Ronica?”
“Oh, Andro?”
“You often look into the distance these days. What are you worried about?”
“Hysterion Grandfather… lol. it’s nothing. I thought about something else for a moment.”
Nevertheless, Ronica always denied it.
As if he didn’t want to be caught.
But guess what?
Everyone already noticed.
Dawn when Ronica was asleep.
1st floor of Goliath branch next to Venus.
Rowan.
Gold fist.
Andro.
Hysterion.
Everyone gathered in one place.
“I think the captain is doing that because he wants to go to the warrior training camp.”
As a quick-witted guy, Rowen was the first to figure out Ronica’s problem and report it.
“So, my sister!!… .”
“Ronika… I think I understand. I’m definitely sorry about leaving here.”
“Hmm. Have you ever had such concerns?”
Afterwards, they began discussing Ronica’s problem with Rowen.
For your information, I was also present here.
This is because Rowen secretly tipped it off.
The discussion didn’t take very long.
“I want the captain to do what he wants.”
“I’m sad that you’re not around, but… Still, if you have a dream, you should try it!”
“I want to go with Ronika too! Let’s go together!!”
“Andro… Please bear with me, even considering the extra expenses. But anything is possible as long as you help Ronica to be strong.”
Everyone has the same opinion.
The opinion to allow Ronica to go to the training center without burden was overwhelmingly passed.
Because “… How is it. Black guy. I would like to ask the most important opinion of Mr. Black.”
Rowen asked me.
What are you going to do with Ronica? .
What can I do?
He said he wanted to do it himself.
I planned to achieve what I wanted from the beginning.
No one can ignore it.
I will become a strong warrior.
If you think about it, I trained him strongly to fulfill his wish.
Now is the time.
Venus simply gave it to us not to work hard.
I nodded.
For Ronika’s dream.
*
The next morning.
“Huh? What’s going on everyone?”
Rowan.
Gold fist.
Andrew.
Hysterion.
They quietly approached Ronica, who was sitting on a chair on the first floor.
Ronica’s friends suddenly opened their mouths.
“Captain. Come back.”
“Well, what does that mean? Are you coming? Where?”
“Sister. Did you think we didn’t know? You wanted to go to the warrior training camp.”
“What? Well, how is that?”
“Hee hee. Ronica. Do you know that you talk a lot less these days? Just by looking at it, you can tell that he is worried.”
“Did I do that!?… .”
“kkk. Don’t worry and do what you want. My friends and I will take care of this place together.”
“Ah… iced coffee… … .”
Ronica slightly averted her gaze, not knowing what to do. And then he looked at me right next to me.
“I, I… .”
What is there to worry about?
If you want.
“Kang.”
Go.
