LVIII.

A space reminiscent of a book cafe with a unique atmosphere. The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting inside makes anyone want to sit down and read a book. There are even quiet carols flowing cheerfully from the ceiling.

“Hmm~. Fall is already over.”

“Yes. Time goes so fast. If you lose your mind, it will be the end of the year? By the way, can I drink that coffee?”

“Anyway, Lee Yi. I’m asking the obvious. Here.”

Those who have made coffee themselves know this. In particular, the first coffee of the day was brewed not by machine-made espresso, but by roasting coffee beans, grinding them in a grinder, and adjusting the water myself.

Asking for it right after you put it down and before you even take a sip… . Should I say that the moment you take the first chopstick of deliciously boiled ramen, it feels like you are shouting, ‘Just one bite!!!’?

I mean, it’s secretly annoying.

Nevertheless, the intelligent and beautiful woman so naturally pushes the coffee towards the man, folds the filter again, pours the coffee powder into it, and boils the water.

“Isn’t it strange? If you put your mind to it, you can make Farmer Juan’s coffee in no time… … . I don’t know why this coffee is better. Is it because you dropped me off?”

“Hohoho. What’s going on today? How can you say such sweet things as honey? Did you do something wrong to me?”

“No. Not at all.”

The man clearly looked annoyed, but he played it off and just drank coffee.

The woman who finished the coffee and sat down thought about it for a while and then, as if something came to her mind, she put her finger and said ‘Snap!’ They rub together making a sound and smile brightly.

“Hohoho. Is it because of gray? Because Gray creates a sweet atmosphere with the clown and the witch? Are you afraid we might be ripped off? So are you pre-playing now? Hohohohohoho.”

“No, what… … . It’s not because of that in particular… .”

The man seemed embarrassed and just drank the coffee that was still steaming.

“Hohohoho. How~. How do you become cuter the longer you spend together? What about our honey?”

It seems that such a man is also cute to women.

Quickly approach the man, hug him with a chair from behind, and press your lips to the man’s cheek until he makes the sound of ‘cheek!’

“Didn’t I do that? Our companion is a kind man who is qualitatively different from the stupid god of magic. I’m just a little awkward at expressing myself.”

A woman who appears as space splits.

First of all, the unique aura catches the eye of the woman, and her voluptuous and healthy breasts and long, ebony-like hair make her aura even more special, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.

“Oh my! Welcome! sister! Hasn’t it been so long? I’m really sad!”

“I was taking care of some work my pet asked me to do… … .”

“Hmm.”

At the same time, the glances toward the man made us guess that this man was her companion and that the task he had asked her to do was not an easy task.

When you see a man clearing his throat for no reason, there seems to be no room for doubt or excuse.

“Here. Sister.”

“Thank you. Good. I feel like I’m finally home now.”

The second time, the freshly brewed coffee was taken away, but the woman made the coffee again and joined the table, looking happy because she was able to give it to him and overflowing with happiness at the reaction of the two people who liked the coffee. .

If you look at this point, you might think that this woman is very gentle and has a kind and generous personality that likes to give to others.

however,

“Me! me too! Coffee too! It’s so cold!”

As soon as the magic god, whom Gray had encountered several times, entered, shouting for coffee,

“Ah~. Get out.”

The woman, who had been soft-spoken until now, refused in a tone filled with annoyance and astonishment. Firmly.

“Oh my. The God of Time, please don’t be too harsh on us outsiders. He’s a little lacking, a little tactless, a little lazy, a little playful, and a little stupid, but he’s not a completely bad person.”

A new woman unexpectedly(?) takes the side of the magic god.

“Hasn’t the ‘little’ already come together to make up the ‘complete’? huh? What do you think of the spirit god?”

Then, he sits down next to the God of Magic, wraps his arm around his arm, and responds to the God of Time’s question with a smile. Then the magic god next to me said,

“Why can’t you speak! This man is my man. Why can’t I say it?”

He dripped, but only became quiet after being punched by the first man who appeared.

“Anyway, it’s been a while since we got together like this, right? What did you call me for?”

“When everyone gets together.”

In response to the man who first appeared, the woman called the spirit god nods in understanding. And the number of men and women appearing one after another increases.

Their appearances and personalities were different, but what they all had in common was that they were both handsome and beautiful. Except for the man who appeared at the beginning.

“Everyone gathered together, right? Well, as you probably know, the players that will be used in this game, that is, the candidates, are the worst. Maybe we should also reflect. Perhaps it was because of all the success so far, but the selection of candidates this time was too easy.”

The handsome men and women look serious at the man’s remark reproaching them. It was not a complaint against the man, but a rebuke to myself.

“Is it that serious?”

“Yes. It’s serious.”

“How much?”

The presence radiated by the gathered beings was extraordinary, but it was felt that they were having a hard time with the man who appeared for the first time.

Yes, like a subject facing an emperor he can never defy.

Nevertheless, the reason why he is asking such questions about the candidate in a difficult tone is not only because the God of Time retrieves the seed of power once passed on to the candidate, but because the God in charge of the seed can purify it and preserve it for a long time. Because you have to make it happen.

To put it simply, it means that it is a hassle.

“Well? No matter how much you say, there is no comparison. Oh, Benialis, do you remember?”

“Are you that bastard when we were on the battlefield before? Is this the idiot who ruined his life while playing politics even though he received enormous power and almost cheat-like help from God?”

“Yes. Severe people are worse than that guy.”

“… Can’t I just kill him?”

“No.”

“Ugh! Working overtime again!”

The faces of the handsome men and women gathered are full of distortions, like office workers who have been notified of overtime work. Well, I quickly realized that there was nothing I could do about it, so I turned my attention to the video playing in the middle of the large, round table.

“Well, all these idiots are candidates? This is the god of magic, you chose it, right?”

“No!”

“Huh? What is he doing? now? Huh? It’s sick. I told you to summon a spirit, so why are you fucking flirting with a spirit?”

“That… . Should I kill him? If you manifest for just 20 seconds, you can burn your whole body to death? Why is a bitch with acceleration skills learning external skills? okay. Let’s kill it.”

“Hold on, just a little!”

.

.

“Captain. How many candidates passed, not how many were eliminated?”

The man who was watching the video without saying a word but with a red face asks.

“8 people passed, 1 person added. A total of nine people.”

“Nine out of thirty-two?”

I already know how this happened. Still, judging from my experience so far, I can tell you that even though human beings indulge in such extravagances, if their lives or interests are threatened, they will try their best to achieve results.

Of course, at first I tried to choose someone who had character or worked hard, but that was the end of the story anyway. Just as humans follow the 20% rule, if you select 30 people, only five or six will be useful. always.

The gathered people, who clearly appeared to be gods based on their conversation, continued to argue for a while. Unexpectedly.

It was a debate and heated debate about whether to accept a new candidate or collect the gift or distribute it to the candidate.

“Good job. The God of Time and the God of Struggle prepare. The God of Magic has descended several times this year alone, so this time he will take a break.”

“Okay~.”

“Yes.”

The God of Magic simply nodded his head in response. In fact, he didn’t like to take on a mortal body, so that was what he wanted.

“And as he descended, he placed an appropriate curse on the so-called emperor of that empire.”

“Ah! The plague?”

“Okay. then. thanks for your effort. Let’s end the party after.”

“Yes~.”

“Yes.”

A sight I saw once. A clear and brilliant pure white radiance enveloped the two gods. And after a while, the mouth of the God of Time opened.

◈ ◈ ◈

The bodies of the witch and the clown come to mind more and more. I was worried that it would hit the ceiling, but it was funny because it broke through the ceiling without leaving any trace and continued up into the sky.

Of course, I went out into the street to see the invisible women. But after a while, I realize that my actions were useless.

Because it reminded me too.

It’s not just me. Other candidates also rose to the skies over Evergreen. Even the candidates who were eliminated but survived.

[Listen… … .]

[Listen.]

“Ugh, ugh! Hey, where is this?! Why do you do whatever you want!”

“Why my power! You guys! Take me down!”

“Ma, that’s right! God is everything!!”

…

[Dada.]

“… what? No, yes?”

[신이면 다라고 이 개새끼야!!]

Rumbling!

Pachichichichik!!

Suddenly, the roar of a thundercloud was heard in the night sky, and as expected, it did not disappoint. A white thunderbolt floats in the air and strikes the idiot who was screaming loudly.

That bastard had his Gift forcibly removed, and as a result, he was recuperating further away from his original realm. Recently, he has been showing his face here and there.

Although the gift was taken away, he was barely able to reach master level.

“… Wow!!!”

The mouths of the other candidates who were talking angrily shut like clams due to the screams of this idiot who looks like he’s about to collapse. But will God really forget that? He’s a god? Even I, a normal human being, remember all the faces of those damn bastards I just saw?

Pajik! Pachichichichik!!!

No way.

The lightning connected heaven and earth into one line.

However, the fact that there were former and current candidates who dared to challenge God was problematic, if we were to call it a problem.

But if you think about it carefully, you don’t understand. What on earth are these bastards?

No, everything else is the same, let’s say I force myself to understand.

Let’s think that you might be angry that God withdrew the gift you gave yourself in the name of competency evaluation. No, honestly, I don’t understand this. Why are you guys angry? The person who should be angry should be the god who gave the gift.

Anyway, I tried to understand. by force.

Let us understand that these idiots created this sad month by not polishing the gift given to them by God, but they insist that they are not at fault.

Just like indoctrination, they force you to say that. just.

But no matter how thoughtless it may be, does it have to be gutsy to not only shout at God like that but also spit out informal language? Or should I say crazy? Or should I just call him an asshole?

[As expected, this ‘law of a certain composition ratio of trash’ applies everywhere. They say that if five people gather together, one of them is bound to have trash.]

crazy.

Did that really exist? Dean Hu didn’t make it up?

The former candidates, who were blackened but still alive, flinched and trembled at the cold voice of the goddess.

[Gifts were definitely recovered from the eliminated candidates. This time, he descended to retrieve God’s grace bestowed on the eliminated trash.]

“Huh? Ugh! Oh no!”

The first guy, who looked like he had been carrying a woman for some reason at this hour, was naked and screaming.

His fairly smooth face became more and more bumpy, his belly bulged out as if his body was swelling, and he turned into something that looked like kimchi.

And the symbol of a man who has become so small that he cannot even be seen. Hehehe! cheer up. They say size isn’t everything, right?

“Ugh!”

“Aaaah! Please! Wow!”

.

.

Every time the heavy male god’s voice pointed out to the witch, the clown raised his hand for the candidate. I don’t know if it was the power of the goddess who descended on her, but all the eliminated candidates were shiny and shiny, and their handsome looks were somehow common. Changed in appearance.

The citizens of Evergreen, who watched their changes in the air that can be seen anywhere in Evergreen, and the nobles who visited Evergreen because of the emperor of the empire are seen astonished. Because I too am at a high place.

Those who live in Evergreen are commoners who most often see the occasional candidate. And the nobles who gathered to discuss the disposition of the empire were also nobles who had come into contact with many candidates because, unlike ordinary nobles, they were leisurely beings.

It may be natural for candidates who were close to good-looking men and fairies to be shocked at not only their meager appearance but also their healthy, muscular bodies that have become unsightly.

But now that I think about it, it’s so unfair, isn’t it?

No, why is my face the same! Are they all good men and good women? huh? What, is this the law of ‘side’ of the Wonpanbul?

My face… … . Even if you say it’s God, you can’t even get an estimate? Is that it?

‘That’s too much!’

[Hohoho. maybe?]

As if reading my thoughts, the laughter of a powerful goddess echoes in my head through the clown’s body. With a statement full of positive meaning.

Not people, but gods. So honest! Sometimes you have to tell white lies and things like that.

[Candidate Benjamin.]

Meanwhile, a man’s voice comes out of the witch’s mouth, glaring at someone and calling her mouth Benjamin.

Not only the candidate who followed the call and gaze and confirmed it, but also everyone who was watching the situation was shocked.

“That’s Ben… Jamin?”

Someone’s self-talk breaks through the silence and shock and hits everyone’s ears.

The first candidate, Benjamin, looked like a drug addict. He had a ravaged and swarthy complexion, bloodshot eyes, a disheveled body, and hair that looked like it hadn’t been washed in days.
