“I went there.”

“Welcome. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Welcome.”

An ordinary greeting.

But that’s why it feels precious.

If it weren’t for here, I would never have known how welcoming it feels to be greeted like this when entering a designated place.

‘I guess Feria hasn’t returned yet.’

“I will report it.”

I regretted Peria’s absence and reported today’s events to Enin.

Enin received the report in a restrained manner, perhaps because he was in front of Noan.

“… So the work was completed successfully, whether it was the ritual or the dealing with the attackers, but Hygenics thinks that since the attacker was a wizard living in this city, there may be more of their colleagues elsewhere in the city. So, Priest and Deshade said that it would be better for us to take charge of it for the time being due to stability issues. Above.”

After briefly explaining the situation, he handed Enin the paper Hygenic had written on it.

“Hmm… I see.”

After carefully looking at the contents written on the paper one by one, Enin raised his head to see if there were any problems.

“Hygenic wrote a summary of only the necessary information. I don’t think there will be any problems in terms of the procedures since the documents were written so neatly. Well done! Oh, I also suffered from presbyopia. Senior Florian will be in the communications field, so you can go back and see him.”

“Yes. Then let’s go. I am also really indebted to my brother today.”

“Well, you had a hard time too. Then go in carefully.”

“Yep! Then let’s go.”

Presbyopia. A muscular and polite kid.

The respectful treatment ended in a state that I still can’t get used to.

When Noan left, Enin relaxed his body and sat down in the chair.

“Phew. You really, really worked hard. Lee Lim. Oh my goodness, something unexpected happened.”

“I think I had a hard time. I guess I didn’t expect to fight a wizard when I went to catch a goblin.”

“How was your presbyopia? I have always heard various stories from senior Florian through letters, but this is my first time seeing him in person.”

“The kid is nice. It was also reliable.”

As we began to talk in earnest, Master, who had been sitting quietly on one side, came to the side.

“Irim. What on earth happened along the way for that person to call you brother?”

It seems that the nicknames we used between us seemed strange to Master, who did not know Noan’s age.

“Ah. I forgot to tell Hwarim. Presbyterian is now 15 years old.”

“Oh my…”

Master sighs at the answer Enin gave on his behalf.

“10 years old. Didn’t you come here at a very young age? How much suffering must it have been like to come to that age? Still, seeing as he’s behaving so bluntly, it looks like his heart hasn’t broken yet…”

“…”

Master spoke as if he was sorry, but Enin didn’t say anything and just kept his mouth shut. Then he changed the topic.

“Yeah, that’s right. God has come?”

“Oh, now that I think about it, it was parked in front of the door. Come in.”

As we were talking outside, Deshade came in carrying Thistle on his shoulder.

“Why is the priest like that?”

“’Ah.’ He made a sound and fell down.”

“… It looks like you’re sleeping?”

“I dozed off a bit in the security forces office earlier, but I guess that wasn’t enough.”

It looks like Thistle’s remaining stamina while walking this far has finally run out.

He is being carried by Deshade like a piece of luggage, and although he is in a very uncomfortable state, he is sleeping peacefully.

“Please pass it to me. I lay it down inside. Ah, Master, Enin. This is Deshade, the recently appeared god that Thistle worships, who came down today after performing the river god ritual. This armor is the body that contains God.”

After briefly introducing God to the two people, he receives Thistle from Deshade, lays him down on a large chair inside, and brings him a blanket.

The moment thistle is laid down, it makes a yapping sound and immediately wraps itself completely in a blanket.

Meanwhile, Deshade and two others exchanged greetings.

Deshade looks at Enin first and speaks.

“Yes. You guys are definitely handsome. This is a person with a small but calm mind who is expected to grow, and I like the fact that his body is sturdier than expected.”

“Chi, thank you for the compliment?”

Enin is embarrassed by the sexual harassment coming from the god in full armor. After saying those words, the god then turns to the teacher.

“And is this a human being who has entered the same body as the Straight Talker over there? However, the vessel is noble and has a very nice body. If I were to touch her just a little bit, I think her beauty would be at the top of the list among all the people I’ve ever seen. What do you think? Would you like to entrust your body to me?”

“… What is it? This rude person… No, the armor, um… God?”

A review like that of an old man with a lot of taste that shoots at rapid fire.

‘Wow, this is really the worst.’

As it is a first impression, it is okay to exchange greetings with a lot of social and etiquette, but he only says what he wants to say.

When I think about it, I think that’s because I already forgot my image from the first time I met God.

The teacher, too, must have been frightened by the appearance of God, which was different from his usual perception, and frowned, looked at God in front of him, and whispered openly in my ear.

“Irim. Is this God? I’m worried that the soul of a passing drunkard may have been brought here by mistake.”

“To be honest, I can’t believe it, but I think it’s God. Even though it may seem like that, at first he was able to see through things and read minds.”

“What is it? What what what story? Is this a magic story? Clairvoyance is something I can do as long as the moon is up.”

Just as I was chewing Deshade with my teacher, Peria came in after finishing her errand.

“Welcome.”

“…”

“Why?”

When Peria came in, I said hello and she stopped before coming in.

“… No. I didn’t hear you, can you do it one more time?”

‘Are my ears bad?’

“Welcome.”

“Yes. I’m back!”

I don’t know if it’s because he really didn’t listen well, but he said he would be happy to do it again. And then he speaks softly to himself.

“This feels better than I thought.”

“What?”

“That happened.”

“Then that’s it. Anyway, I guess you earned a lot?”

Peria had a luxurious pouch in her hand.

“Because the customer was a magic tower owner. The harvest was pretty good.”

Peria opened her pocket and showed it to me.

8 dwarven coins.

“I guess they sold expensive information.”

“He asked about the current status of the imperial schools. He seemed frustrated because he couldn’t hear any news, perhaps because communication had stopped recently.”

“You worked hard. Then take this too.”

Put the additional 11 dwarven coins I brought into Peria’s pocket.

“Huh? what. Where did you get all this?”

“I also met a wizard today. To be exact, it’s a slap in the face, but you’ll need it more than me, so take it.”

Peria began to really like it, physically jumping around with her pockets getting thicker. Looking at it, I think I made a good decision to take care of it.

“Wow! Thank you so much, brother! To be honest, he doesn’t seem to have any talent for making money, but seeing him like this makes me like him a little.”

“Really? Then, from now on, please treat me with respect.”

“I just went back to square one with that.”

“It’s too much. Still, if you use gold, it’s almost 110 gold.”

“It’s a joke.”

Peria seems to be in a very good mood, unable to keep her feet still even for a moment.

He deliberately placed the heavier bag on his palm and was truly happy to feel its weight.

I don’t need much money anyway, all I need is the magic core or magic core that Noan picked up.

“Oh, and Peria. Say hello. This is the body that contains the God I spoke of.”

“Huh? Where?”

I introduced Deshade to Peria.

While Peria and I were talking, Deshade went up to Master and was massaging his thighs, and Master was slowly asking me with his eyes whether he should punch me or not.

“Do you mean that is God?”

“Yes. I appeared in that armor.”

“…”

Peria looks at Deshade, whose entire body is covered in armor, for a moment and then approaches without fear.

It was a different reaction from Enin, who was startled when black armor walked around.

Soon, Peria walked towards Deshade with polite steps and showed him a sight he had never seen before.

“Nice to meet you. God who loves humans. I am the one who continues the lineage of the humble trickster. It is called Feria.”

“Hmm? trickster? Isn’t he the prodigal son of the God of Knowledge who wanders the earth collecting rumors and gold coins? okay. Are you living a happy life?”

It was a very formal and polite greeting. Peria, who introduces herself by bending her knees and putting her palms inward, seems very unfamiliar.

“Why are you suddenly so calm?”

When I saw that and said something, Peria poked my side and whispered.

“Be quiet. The gods are good business partners.”

‘Doing business with God?’

Peria leaves me alone and continues talking.

“It’s not a happy life, but as you can see, I have a slightly problematic body. So even though it is not fun, I am working hard for the future.”

“It’s a shame that I can’t enjoy my short life in peace. However, if you live hard, there will come a time when your efforts will pay off. I hope that this prodigal son gains the insight he needs for his future.”

“The origin of God. I don’t know what to do with myself.”

After expressing her gratitude, Peria extended her hand forward as if making a suggestion.

“But my God. Is there any news you would like to know? We may seem profane, but the Tricksters always handle even the information the gods want. The God of Wind, who is said to have the widest feet, also sends priests to ask us things we don’t know. Give us a little and we’ll tell you what we know.”

‘I can’t believe you have the idea of selling something to God. ‘That’s amazing.’

I admired Peria’s courage regardless of the person or location.

“Hahaha. You know a lot about God. right. We are not omniscient and omnipotent, but that is why we want to be omnipotent. I feel really proud of you guys who know full well that we are more greedy than any other intelligent being. This is the result of trying to intuit God more than any other priest.”

“If you feel proud, I would appreciate it if you could give me some pocket money.”

Hahaha-

Their laughter overlapped.

Deshade seemed to have finished massaging his teacher, so he turned to Peria and started talking happily.

Master stood up without hiding the expression on his face that the dirt on his body had fallen.

After that, Deshade straightened his arms and waist, which he had been touching, and looked at me in surprise.

“Hmm? My body has become much easier to move. What can I say… It’s more flexible, as if the joints were greased.”

“Is that so? So, even though it was a little weird, I thought it would be nice to have someone close to me, so I brought it with me.”

A god who is deeply interested in humans, or more precisely, the ‘human body’.

Therefore, he is a god who has extensive knowledge about the human body and our bodies that mimic humans.

It is said that the body of the soul bottle is already complete in itself.

Wizards and alchemists who constantly seek to explore and advance spoke in unison.

‘The soul bottle’s body is a completed technology that does not allow any further distortion of the magic circle’s magic or material ratio.’ Called.

This is a technology that has already been discussed enough for both sides to give a definite answer.

Soul disease is created from a certain combination that nothing else can touch. As soon as it is touched even slightly, the body of the soul bottle cannot be established.

However, to newcomer Deshade, even if it was a combination of humans putting their heads together, it was nothing more than an uncomfortable and crude-looking body.

As the existence of such a god appears, if this technology is noticed to be in a stagnant state, research will begin again.

‘The technology to circulate souls by binding them to fixed laws is now becoming obsolete, and people are returning to research on battle dolls, golems, and homunculi. This will be good news for those who were selling this.’

So, he is a very important person to both the teacher and me. It’s important to stay close somehow.

As I was watching Deshade with that thought in mind, it seemed like the chat had finally ended.

“Then let’s go back to the story from before.”

“Of course.”

Peria finally succeeded in seducing Deshade.

The two beings, a god and a trickster, settled down and began to talk.
