LV.

In less than two hours after asking the Pope for a retreat and safe house, a space too luxurious to be called a retreat was prepared in the basement of the temple.

Like most temples belonging to the Caligo Church, the temple is unnecessarily large.

The place where I am now seems to be well over 50m in width and height. Let’s say it’s 50m, and roughly calculated, it’s 2,500㎡, or 756 pyeong.

Of course, given that the spiritual power fluctuated and a ‘thumping’ sound was heard during the two hours spent in the room given by the cardinal and visited by the Pope, it appears that the underground space was hastily expanded, but even considering that.

After looking around the training room for a while, I walked over to a luxurious sofa on one side and sat the clown and witch on either side.

“Why did I ask for a training center? You two guess the Pope said he needed some time, right?”

The clown and the witch also guessed the reason, so no particular answer was given. However, because the reason is unpleasant, the clown and the witch just have the faces of soldiers who have to return from vacation.

A warning or invitation from authority.

A level that has risen suddenly.

It didn’t take a long time for me to become a master like other people, but I was an abnormal person who quickly became a master not long after awakening, so he recommended that I unsummon the Arcana using a card.

This is why we came to Caligo Temple rather than the inn that Dean Hu mentioned. No matter how good an inn it is, there can be people who pretend to be crazy and attack you.

But what if I stay in the temple of Caligo? Also in the basement of Caligo Temple?

‘I can’t do that.’

This is even more impossible in the current situation.

Inside the Evergreen Academy, Vice-Dean Fletcher was becoming a superhuman, and outside the academy, two superhumans, the Pope and the Sword of Caligo, were appearing, perhaps because of the aftermath of Vice-Dean Fletcher’s elevation to superhuman status, or because it was revealed that the imperial families of the two empires were behind the plague LOST. This is a situation that stays in Evergreen.

attack?

Even the devil would say, ‘Ah, this is a bit…’ You should say ‘.’

Suicide would be better than attacking this place. At least if you die on your own, you won’t have to suffer the famously harsh torture of the Caligo Heresy Judgment.

“I tried to cancel the summoning of one of them one by one, but you are recommending that I cancel the summoning of both of them to receive the power I received through awakening?”

“Now, honey?”

“Master! It’s dangerous!”

“I know. That it’s dangerous. And I don’t want to come off as pretentious, like some stupid writer who spends both and pretends to be busy while drinking coffee at the end of the year. But I feel like I have to do it.”

Is it because it is an arcana? The two women no longer objected to the words, which even I could not understand, but agreed.

In the end, the witch and the clown, who acknowledged that they had no choice but to do so, looked at me vaguely and then kissed me on the lips according to their respective personalities.

The clown was so passionate as to suck my lips,

“Self. You must never, ever be careful. Okay? You can’t trust anyone.”

Even with her eyes tightly closed and her face red, the witch carefully places her lips on mine.

“Master. Could you promise not to go out?”

Their personalities are clearly revealed not only in their kiss but also in their words of advice.

I love it every time this happens and I don’t know what to do. sincerely.

The confession of the earth.

Aina, who did not receive a Joseon name.

And Rome’s lower class whitena.

What they all have in common is that they were abandoned by their parents. Was that why? This was the first time that I had someone who showed such complete concern and affection for me at every moment that they were on my side with all their heart.

The clown did that.

The witch did that.

So I can’t get used to it. No, it would be more accurate to say that I don’t want to adapt. The sincere hearts of those who will remain by our side even when the world turns its back on us.

“Thank you. Every time.”

“Hee hee!”

“… ♡”

This time, on the contrary, I kissed them one by one,

“ Come back. I’ll be waiting safely.”

First, I said goodbye. Calmly. As if I didn’t feel any anxiety.

“Yes! You have to be careful!”

“Yes. Please be careful.”

Only then did I see that the faces of the two women relaxed, feeling a little relieved.

“Okay. Cancellation of summons.”

Pot! Paaah!

The summons has been canceled. The two women disappeared into the light and were ultimately left alone in a large space.

They didn’t just disappear completely, they just left the place for a while, but the emptiness that permeated my whole body like a cold winter wind made me feel once again how much the two women depended on me.

Sometimes like a teacher, most of the time like a lover, sometimes like a child who needs to be looked after, and like a friend who can be trusted more than anyone else, the empty space left by the witch and the clown was much bigger than expected.

“… Phew. Let’s work. Work.”

We didn’t break up, but they said the best way to forget about the breakup is to do things so much that you don’t even think about it.

◈

He even forgot about time, and sometimes he didn’t even eat his meals on time and instead swung his spear.

Not only Arcana but I also had to get used to the elevated level and newly acquired gifts.

As the newly acquired gift settles into my body and I gradually become accustomed to it, the question that comes to mind is,

“What did the candidates who had this much gift do?”

It was a question about a candidate who possessed such abilities but showed such disgrace over a short period of time, ranging from three to two years.

These difficulties, which I had to deal with in just over 10 days, could not be said to be insignificant, even as a joke.

I don’t think it compares to my power as a card master, but even so, it was a power that gave me absolutely no reason to be panting at the intermediate level of master for three years.

As the name suggests, the power of a gift is.

You should have reached at least the end of Master or the highest level of Master. To a minimum.

‘Well, it’s done. Anyway, it’s none of my business to know what’s going on with those kites.’

I spent every day to the fullest, swinging my spear and berating the former candidates who either died or gave up and became ordinary people.

“Woah! Work hard today too!”

We are now familiar and skillful with the Pope’s visit once a day.

“… … .”

“Ignored!!”

I too have grown to the point where I can ignore it. Great job Gray!

“Still, let’s eat. gray. It’s all about making a living.”

“… Of course.”

Perhaps that’s why, when he realized that I was ignoring him, he started coming to visit me at meal times on purpose.

Meals are very important in training, especially in martial arts training.

A diet with a balanced diet (protein, carbohydrates, fat) and rich in vitamins and dietary fiber cannot be ignored.

In the world of confessions, an athlete receiving an annual salary of tens of billions of dollars would not have a nutritionist for no reason, even producing and thoroughly managing the water he drinks.

“That’s right. Juan, that stupid guy used to say things like that?”

However, if you have any complaints,

“Do I really need to know about Juan Yeongtaengi’s first love, which seems so fresh and lacking?”

The point is that the Pope is a huge talker. Things I don’t necessarily want to know, like stories about Young Yeongtaeng’s childhood or Vice Dean Fletcher’s time when he was in the middle of his second year of middle school.

“Hmph! This is a story that only I know! Listen carefully!!”

“If you tell a sincere story, I will listen with sincerity… .”

“Hey!! I’m the Pope!”

“That’s right. Is the Church of Caligo okay as is?”

After eating while making comical jokes, the Pope leaves the training center without any regrets, waving his hand.

Just like that, time passes again.

“Huh?”

When I discovered a card that suddenly glowed and radiated its presence, it had been about a month since the emperors of the two empires and their subordinates had been forcibly held in Evergreen.

It had been around the same time since I trained in the basement of the Caligo Church temple.

That meant that a month had passed since I had parted ways with the two women, the clown and the witch.

It was a time I had eagerly awaited.

“??”

However, the reason why the question mark appeared in my head before the joy and excitement was because the card appeared in front of me and wanted me to recognize it.

“Three… Chapter?”

Because there were three chapters of The Clown and the Witch, not two.
