I walked out, rubbing my red eyes.

Apart from being quite moved by the current situation, I had to do what I had to do.

‘still… ‘Not bad.’

Regardless of the purpose of coming here, the scene just now will remain as an unforgettable memory, even if countless hours pass by.

Because the previous scene left a stronger impression on me than ever before.

‘I should at least say thank you to the Pope later.’

The Pope may say that he is fine and that it is not his job to receive thanks.

That’s the heart of the person who does it.

‘Let’s go first.’

Information about the devil.

As of now, it seems like the Pope knows well, but there was someone who knew them best.

I’m going to go see that person.

A person who has received the power of a goddess like me.

A person called a saint.

***

Saint.

Like the warrior, he was a representative who received the power of the goddess.

However, the difference between a hero and a hero is that a hero is someone who directly kills the demon king.

The saint’s role was to help such warriors.

If you look at it closely, it can be said to be a supporting role, but no one can ignore it.

No, I can’t.

This is because a saint receives as much strength as a warrior.

In the past, the anecdote that some people knowingly or unknowingly ignored a saint and then one saint made all of the family’s private soldiers incapable of combat in less than five minutes is still famous.

In fact, if the hero is the son of the goddess, it feels like the saint is the daughter of the goddess.

In terms of location and symbolism, the saint was a being who could be said to be higher than the warrior.

However, as of now, many people looking for the saint have disappeared.

The reason is because the saint herself announced her retirement.

No one knows why.

I also didn’t know why she retired.

Because he just said something strange that it was time for him to step down.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s been 15 years since you were a saint.’

At the young age of 10.

From then on, she rose to the status of saint and became a symbol of the church.

Although she is currently only 25 years old, considering the years she spent as a saint, it was not strange for her to retire.

‘There was something you said when you left.’

He said that from now on he will not interfere anywhere and will live alone and peacefully in a place where no one is around. It was a situation I couldn’t understand at the time.

Because it suddenly happened just when I was doing well.

But unlike the incomprehensible situation, I respected her choice.

Aside from everything else, I knew that she had been carrying a lot of burden during the 15 years she had been a saint.

‘You used a lot of energy to deal with me.’

To be exact, it was me before I was possessed.

Although I cannot truly define myself as the person I was before I was possessed.

Since I am the owner of this body, I decided to think that way.

The me before I was possessed is the me of the past.

Anyway, to continue, I was trash in the past.

Garbage that cannot even be recycled.

However, she was the only one who embraced me, such a piece of trash.

The past me became a hero when I was just possessed.

So how could I, who had never become a warrior, get to know her, who was a saint?

The answer to that could be found in memory.

‘I lived in the slums.’

However, because there were no parents, it was a time when I was barely able to survive each day due to evil.

At that time, she stopped by the slums and took me in, and it was safe to say that we actually grew up like childhood friends.

‘But this idiot is so disgustingly jealous.’

He was just a born evil bastard.

I still didn’t understand how on earth this bastard had the hero’s emblem.

‘If you look at the fact that I have truly awakened, it would probably be true that I have awakened as a hero.’

Why on earth is this bastard?

Why did the goddess give him the symbol of a warrior?

I sighed and shook my head.

Now I have been reborn as a complete warrior.

Because it wasn’t at the time.

Although it is my memory, the memory of that time, which is not my memory, is bound to remain as a question.

All of the saint’s actions and my situations.

‘There’s definitely no way he wouldn’t know.’

At least among the people I knew, the person who understood the essence of people best was a saint.

There was no way that such a saint would have known that her nature was evil, so I could only wonder why she had taken me away and embraced me.

Especially as I know her personality even more.

‘The person in the world who hates evil-tempered people the most.’

Of course, if the other person is able to fully regret their mistakes and repent, she is the most merciful person in the world.

But when she didn’t, she was more merciless than anyone else.

‘But can I endure my unadjusted disposition for over 10 years?’

Even though she brought it with her, she could have kicked it out in the middle, but she didn’t.

Considering her personality, it honestly doesn’t make sense.

I wanted to ask you about this sometime. I felt like I should take this opportunity to ask.

‘To do that, you need to know the location… ‘

The problem was that I couldn’t really tell where she was because she was completely secluded.

But it wasn’t that there was no way.

‘Basically, those who receive the power of the same goddess are connected to each other.’

It was because of the power characteristics of the goddess.

As a result, I was able to know the other person’s location if I wanted to.

‘I guess in the past I had quite a bit of trouble due to this power.’

Because of the ability to know each other’s locations, my old self often showed up and stopped them before they caused trouble. In the past, I had very little power, so I didn’t really know that.

If you think about it now, you can see that it was due to the power of the goddess.

‘I was also able to find the saint who left.’

But the reason I didn’t do it all this time was because of her last request.

The words she told me, asking me not to look for her.

Even though I am the past me and the current me is not a conscious entity, it is true that in the end I helped people. Since she helped me a lot even after I was possessed here, I quietly nodded to her request.

Since then, I have never even thought about looking for it.

This time, I was in a situation where I had no choice but to visit.

‘I can’t help it.’

No one knew more about demons than she did.

If possible, I would look for someone else, but no matter how hard I tried, there was no one who knew as much about demons as she did.

‘I’m sure I’ll get a lot of nagging, though.’

Since there was already nagging data accumulated over the years, there was no problem in listening to it.

Most of the time, you hear it with one ear and let it out with the other.

It pricks my conscience somewhat, but what can I do?

I’ve been nagging so much that I have no choice but to do that, to the point where my ears are bleeding.

I shook my head and walked away.

To meet her who is now retired.

***

Somewhere in the empire.

In the greenhouse there, nature was blooming.

A scenery that is hard to believe is inside a greenhouse.

It is safe to say that a new form of nature was born. At the center of the scene was a small table. A woman sitting on a chair next to a small table.

Two half-moon shaped gray eyes that seem to be filled with moonlight.

The woman with hair as white as pure snow and as thin as a thin thread gave off a perfect figure as if it had been created by God.

Are we really human?

The woman was so beautiful that it made me wonder such questions.

Each of her actions exuded elegance, and pure white light, sparkling like starlight, burst out.

A woman with such an intense aura and beauty that anyone, regardless of gender or age, would be captivated just by looking at her, was enjoying tea time.

“Umm… It’s delicious.”

A smile appeared on the woman’s lips.

Just as I feel at peace in the comfortable rest and natural air.

The woman closed her eyes and surrendered her body to nature.

It was a time when I was fully resting.

“Hmm?”

Someone enters nearby.

The current location was a place that no one could find because it was hidden by power.

Except for one person.

But the fact that someone set foot here meant only one person.

A being with the same power as her, and a person more special than anyone else in this world.

It was the presence of a warrior.

A smile brighter than ever appeared on the woman’s lips as she realized the identity of the person who came.

The woman’s smile was a smile full of longing, bitterness, and affection.

“I just wanted to see it, and seeing it appear just like this… Am I lucky?”

She uttered words that she did not know to whom she was speaking and got up from where she was sitting.

It simply happened, but that alone spreads light around her.

The nature around her grew even more, and the woman walked away while looking at the natural scenery with satisfaction.

Even though I am not an invited guest.

To welcome the guests who came here, which was more important to her than anything else.
