Perhaps they cannot see this scenery.

-Is that so? I think the owner was more handsome back then.

I remembered what the old man said to me while I was drinking before.

A woman with short hair and a handsome face. A high sense of divinity is felt from her.

I could tell what it was right away.

I didn’t have enough vision to wait until I got the answer, ‘Why am I the only one who can see it?’

As if my body is not my body. As if the place where I am now is not Earth.

Even moving my mouth was somehow difficult.

“What… business… do you have with me?”

I opened my mouth with difficulty, but this was dangerous. It was obvious that if I lost my senses even for a little bit, I would faint immediately.

[Logs Avant.]

A beautiful woman’s voice, as if playing a harp, rang in my mind.

[You probably know who I am, so let’s get straight to the point.]

Without listening to my opinion, she got straight to the point.

[Kill Ammm.]

“?”

No matter how much I thought about it, I could hear noise in the most important part. Fortunately, the status window on my right explained the reason.

[Parts that may cause mental breakdown will be automatically deleted]

I didn’t say, ‘It makes no sense that you would make an ordinary person like me hear those words!’ Well, even if I wanted to say it, it wasn’t a situation where I could say it.

When my gaze turned to Naiz from the status window, she was looking at the empty space where the status window was, not at me.

[I guess you’ve grown very attached to him. But I don’t want the person who saved my friend to die.]

[Then get out]

[Please don’t be so harsh, I don’t have the ability to go against God’s will like you.]

[…]

‘God? The God I know?’

Was there really such a thing as God?

I was surprised for a moment. I immediately changed my mind.

‘Even if it exists, why should I hear such things?’

[Logs, you will never be able to ignore the ‘words’ of God]

‘D, could you hear?’

[Because this is my space]

‘I wish you had said that from the beginning…’

[sorry]

There was an inexplicable sadness in her faint smile.

[Logs: Unfortunately, in your current state, you will never be able to kill Ammm]

‘Then just die?’

[I also don’t want Ilia to die, except for the person who opened his heart to me. So… It’s not much, but I’ll share my strength.]

Naiz clasped his hands together as he said that.

The yellow aura that had been shining brightly behind her flew towards where my heart was in an instant. What the heck!

It happened so quickly that I couldn’t even resist and had no choice but to allow the light into my body.

[You can have one skill designated regardless of your occupation]

[Skill: Ehoro]

[Restores 10% of health]

[Various curses that lowered your abilities…]

‘A curse? Well, if you drink and smoke like crazy, that might be possible.’

Wait… So now, we can get rid of all these curses!?

So I can finally use my power without any restrictions!

A single sentence from the status window that appears to me, full of hope.

[almost disappeared]

‘?’

[When the body is damaged, it becomes damaged and the curse cannot be easily lifted]

‘I don’t think it makes sense that a person who can even talk to gods can’t even lift a curse like that!!’

[Sub)Save(0/1)] -> [Main)Save(0/1)]

This is a quest that I had forgotten about.

When I first received this quest, I thought it was a message asking me to help Cecilia, but it turned out that wasn’t the case.

I thought about discussing my complaints because I couldn’t understand why they gave me this quest, but I didn’t say anything out loud. I thought it would only be a loss if I took back what I had gained.

With that thought in mind, I looked at the faintly disappearing Naiz.

Could it be because it gave me strength that it is fading away? Or is it because it is time to go?

Although we didn’t meet for long, she was Ilya’s close friend. If such a friend were to disappear because of me, it would be a little heartbreaking.

Even if you think about the reason, there’s no way to know the answer unless you ask Naiz.

The fate that would have blossomed into a flower so great that it would one day cover the entire world, if it had not been captured by heretics, was now fading away before my eyes.

[There is a very simple way to complete the quest called ‘Save Me’.]

I’m not so happy that he read my thoughts again, but I was touched by the fact that the last thing he said before disappearing was how to complete the quest.

I listened to Naiz, reflecting on the past days when I had cursed at her at first.

[Please bake Ilia. Now she has to live alone in this world. Please…]

I was momentarily taken aback by Naiz’s sudden disappearance before I could finish telling the story.

I understood her request and quietly bowed my head.

This was my condolences and apology to her.

… What good do I have that could save Ilya?

No matter how much I wanted to do it, Ilya had betrayed himself for Neyz. Neyz was no longer by Ilya’s side.

There was nothing I could do for her who was so heartbroken. At least not unless I became her new name.

Of course… I don’t think that will happen.

I let out a deep sigh and relaxed my body, which had become much lighter.

[Asbel’s sword clasps his hands together and meditates]

[Kraberg’s fangs retch and vomit in disgust]

It seems that I have fortunately returned to reality, as I can see that my swords are also sending their own condolences. Should I tell Ban the truth?

As I turned my head, my eyes met Ban’s.

“… I was dazed for a moment.”

I don’t think anyone would easily believe such a lie.

I couldn’t think of a good excuse right now and my head wasn’t working.

“Who’s been hitting me for so long!”

“That could be it.”

And what would you say if I said so?

Half of him clicked his tongue at Ilya, who wouldn’t answer no matter how much he kept asking. I followed him and looked at Ilya.

Contrary to my thoughts that I only had to be careful with my hands, the part that I had to be careful with was the monster’s mind. There was nothing I could do about it, but if I had known that, I would have fought it further away from Ilia.

Fortunately, the part of his body that hadn’t made physical contact with the monster was intact, but the other side’s clothes and skin had already melted away.

It’s a serious injury that can never be cured with the healing ability I have. At least, I think it can be cured with the healing ability that Asbel has…

Unfortunately, I don’t know where Asbel is. Even if I were to find him, Ilia would no longer be able to hold out. I calmed my trembling hands and quietly stared at the status window next to me.

‘Surely you didn’t give it to me for this?’

[You can have one skill designated regardless of your occupation]

[Note) You cannot have a skill that copies someone else’s skill]

At this point, I think there is nothing to say even if there is reasonable doubt. And to be clear, it feels too early to use this now.

I couldn’t help but feel that way, especially since there was a phrase that said, ‘regardless of occupation.’

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone’s future is determined by their occupation. To that extent, the framework called ‘occupation’ is like an absolute good in this world.

Simply put, what you’re good at and what you’re not good at. And even your skills and traits.

In this world, everything is divided by occupation.

So now you understand how ridiculously good the phrase ‘regardless of occupation’ is.

In addition, the end was not set. It says that you cannot have a skill that can copy skills, but everything else is possible.

If you think about it a little, it means that even I, who have no attack skills, can get the best skill that a swordsman has for free. Then it’s only a matter of time before I become stronger.

Who wouldn’t hesitate when faced with the choice of ‘throwing up such a precious opportunity’?

‘…’

But why did I make the decision right away without hesitation?

She is the first interracial friend I’ve ever made. And.

Because I was asked to do something.

“Give Asbel the heal skill.”

[If you choose Hill, the blessing of the lower-level god Neyz will be stacked]

[When you gain that influence, you will go with twice the power]

[The ‘characteristic) Heal’ is strengthened due to the user’s abnormal increase in divine power]

‘…?’

The first thing my eyes looked at when I was surprised by the status window that suddenly popped up was the first sentence. Blessing of the low-level god Neyz?

Did you give me that choice on purpose to test me? Wow! I’ll take back what I said about being nice!

It would have been better for both of us if we had given it straight, or if we had given it both.

I almost missed this amazing skill.

As I exhaled in relief, a new message appeared in my field of vision.

[Characteristic] Leader’s Heal]

[We can treat even the most serious injuries]

[Skill] Cure All Diseases]

[There is a rumor that if there is a proper payment, even the dead can be raised]

I instinctively made a face.

‘I never thought the day would come when I would see that word I hated so much in my status window.’

I know there is nothing sinful in words, but every time I see this word, my body instinctively boils with rage.

Holding back that anger, or rather, thinking that I should get used to it by now.

I gently touched Ilya’s cheek.

“Ugh… Ugh… ”

Ilya groaned in pain and twisted his whole body.

“Even if it hurts, bear with it. You’ll get better soon.”

Van, surprised by my story, asked back.

“Chi, can you cure it?”

“Yeah. So hold on tight.”

Fortunately, I nodded to Ban, who held Ilya tightly as I said without any objections, and focused again.

‘It’s okay, you can get used to it.’

[Characteristic] Leader’s Heal]

I clicked my tongue. I guess I’ll never get used to it. Even though I didn’t use my privileges, the word ‘cult leader’ made me think of that bastard’s face.

I heard Ban’s worried tone, as if he had seen my frowning expression.

“Are you okay? You know you can’t die, right?”

“Why are you worrying about me? Do you realize my importance now?”

“Hey! Now, in this situation, a joke is… ”

“Don’t relax, it’s okay. If you keep moving, it will interfere with the treatment.”

“… I’m sorry.”

In this awkward atmosphere, I continued to treat Ilya.

As time passed, the wounds began to heal. Ilya slowly opened his eyes and saw a smile on his face instead of pain.

“z… ”

“… ”

She reached out to me, as if I was a stranger. Her smile was bright and lively.

It was beautiful again.

If I tell him the truth, will Ilya be able to accept it? Will he be able to maintain that smile?

There is bound to be a difference between when you help me and take it as shock therapy and when you actually tell me the truth with your own mouth.

… and yet I have to say it.

A lie is a magic that only works for a moment. In the end, this is the right answer for Ilya, who has to live in reality.

“Ilia. Sorry, but… ”

“Logs… Thank you.”

“… No problem.”

I burst out laughing. I guess I worried for nothing.

“When you wake up, it will all be healed.”

“Yeah… Thank you for forgiving me.”

“I have never forgiven you. I will punish you.”

Ilya said with a cute snort.

“Okay… I’ll gladly accept it.”

I didn’t answer, but took her outstretched hand. Ilya also looked relieved and fell into a deep sleep.

“Is it all over?”

“As you can see.”

“That went well.”

“I saved the traitor, but he didn’t say anything bigger than I thought?”

“No matter how much of a traitor she is… Ilia has helped us so much. In fact, she would have had many opportunities to betray us, but she didn’t. Instead, she gave us only the right information, without a single wrong one. Thanks to that, we were able to come this far… ”

“What, you’re making some weird excuse. So what’s your point?”

Ban glared at me for a moment as I cut him off, then sighed.

“It’s just because of affection. I’m a more affectionate man than you think.”

“Oh… ”

“The reaction is annoying.”

“Then I’m sorry.”

Logs shrugged and stood up, grabbing the sword he had placed on the floor. He looked at it for a moment, then looked back at Ban.

“First of all, I’m going to say this out loud. Thank you.”

“… What?”

Half of them frowned in disbelief.

“I thought so, but it’s true. If you hadn’t brought me this sword, I would have died.”

“… Let me ask you something while I’m at it. Why did you make me do that?”

“… ”

Logs quietly looks down at the class.

Ban swallowed nervously as his answer did not come right away. After a while, he heard the answer he had been waiting for from Logs.

“Of course you did it because you’re strong.”

“… ”

“No, what other reason is there? He’s just strong and looks like he can do anything you ask him to do.”

Logs spoke in a deliberately playful voice, but his words were true.

“I see… Do I look strong to you?”

“Why do I have no confidence when I’ve been able to withstand my ultimate attack? People have always been taught to live with dignity.”

I looked away in embarrassment even after saying that. I don’t know why I suddenly blurted out such words.

This seemed to be a pretty satisfactory answer for Ban.

“Then I have to go and keep my promise.”

After saying that, Logs walked towards the railing.

Looking down, I saw Luca, Gourik, and Yansro lying there, too wounded to fight.

The only ones who haven’t fallen yet are Mars and Tia.

It was surprising that the two hadn’t collapsed yet, but the situation wasn’t very good.

Mars fights to protect the fallen Tia.

Vasas fights as if he is playing with Mars.

I don’t know about anything else, but I could tell for sure that if I was even a little late, I wouldn’t be able to see either of them alive. But I wouldn’t let that happen.

-I don’t know why Dad keeps praising you. I’m stronger than you, so don’t tease me.

A promise is a promise, but Tia’s high nose is sitting there.

I’ll step on that high nose.

[Skill: Ehoro]

[Restores 10% of health.]

“Why are you suddenly taking a deep breath… Just sleep, right? ”

“Is that right?”

I smiled at Ban and answered, then jumped down from the railing.
