[The powerful divine power surrounding the statue has been destroyed]
[Asbel’s sword is unable to escape the impact]
[Kraberg’s fangs retched in return for destroying a statue with strong divine power with their imperfect power]
‘It was an unavoidable situation.’
[Asbel’s sword says that there was a way to prevent it from breaking]
[It is said that Asbel’s sword could only absorb the magic power of the magic stone if it used its own power]
‘That’s…well…’
[Asbel’s sword says you just didn’t listen to him]
[Asbel’s Sword is greatly disappointed in your actions]
[Asbel’s sword says you are not a priest]
[Asbel’s sword says it won’t talk to you anymore]
Oh… you look really angry…
[Kraberg’s fang says he can’t help with this either]
‘Hmm… I guess it’ll be okay.’
[Kraberg’s fangs say that this time it really doesn’t seem to be okay]
‘…’
It’s annoying, so I’ll just leave it.
I kept silent for a moment and then shook my head slightly.
‘But I still feel affection for him.’
How can I solve this?
Asbel’s sword liked being tied to the god I hated the most. Then why can’t I do it for you…
I can’t pray for you… or rather, I can.
At least you’ll feel nauseous, at most you’ll break one of the things in there.
Is it really necessary to do something like that?
[Asbel’s sword gazes at you]
‘I guess I should…’
I guess I’ll just ask you.
Let me give you one thing you want me to do.
[Asbel’s sword smiles brightly and is pleased with your words]
Asbel’s sword is unsettlingly simple.
Thinking, ‘Isn’t it good if it’s good?’, I asked her again without saying anything.
‘What do you want me to do?’
[The Sword of Asbel calls for prayers in the temple on Sin Friday, which will be this Friday]
‘…Should I go all the way to the temple? Is that really going to work in the first place?’
[Asbel’s sword nods its head]
[Says Asbel’s sword is so good]
[Kraberg’s fangs make a disgusted expression]
[Asbel’s sword tells him not to get involved]
‘Why are you two fighting again…’
And if you’re going to fight, I’ll fight with you.
[…]
“What.”
***
The incident that occurred last night, where the plant-type demons scattered the moment the magic stone broke and could have caused great casualties, ended quietly like that.
The next morning, the villagers held a festival to commemorate the events of the previous day, and I spent that time examining the stone statues in the temple.
The stone statue, which simply appeared as a god, had a huge secret hidden within it.
It was a stone statue that had both light magic and black magic used on it.
The outside is made to look like an ordinary stone statue using light magic, and inside is a magic stone with the nature of Abganu, which is made so that ordinary people cannot feel it using black magic, and plant-type demons are transmitted up to a radius of several tens of kilometers.
Since it was a magic stone that didn’t have much magical power to begin with, the people of this village didn’t notice it.
In a way, it means that even among the reverse crosses, there are people with high magic skills that are no less than heretics. In a way, they could be even more difficult opponents.
Well, I guess I’ll never meet him.
Even if it exists, it will run away.
After finishing my simple thoughts, I went to the village chief’s house to say hello and prepare to leave.
“Thank you so much for yesterday.”
“What did I do, if I hadn’t had gold on the statue, I wouldn’t have been able to break it.”
“Being humble…”
The village chief spoke to me with a small smile.
“It’s very different from the rumors. Mr. Logs Avance.”
“…Yes?”
How on earth does this person know my true identity, which I’ve never told him about?
Did Steven tell you? Or is it because of that little bastard Wyle?
I looked at Steven and Wyle, who were standing behind me.
But they both shook their heads and denied my gaze.
‘Then what…’
While all the guesses were going through my head, the village chief noticed it and spoke.
“It may not seem like it, but I was once a priest. And how could I, who received the grace of the Avant family, not recognize his divine power?”
“Ah…”
“I have no intention of telling anyone.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“I don’t know why you’re hiding your identity, but please accept this.”
“What is this…?”
“This is a magic book.”
I know that too. But… why?
A grimoire is a book that contains the history of once powerful magicians and the magic they created.
It means that it contains a wealth of knowledge about various types of magic, including magic that is not yet known to the world.
That’s why there are many wizards who are fascinated by books of magic.
Because no one knows what great magic lies within it.
If there’s a downside, it’s that it’s difficult to interpret.
Even in the case of grimoires with a long history, the time period is 100 to 1000 years, or in some grimoires it is impossible to interpret.
Why are you giving that grimoire to me instead of selling it?
The village chief answered the question for me before I could ask it.
“This is not a book I should have. Isn’t it time for this grimoire to find its own owner?”
“I’m not a person who interprets grimoires. I’m just a strange priest.”
“Then give this book to a friend who can interpret it. That, in a way, is the book’s fate.”
“…I won’t give it back even if you ask for it again.”
“This is a gift with a thank you note. I won’t do the ugly thing of asking for it again.”
“Then I won’t refuse.”
“I have a favor to ask, Mr. Logs.”
“I will listen to what I can.”
He handed me the grimoire and a small, bitter smile appeared on his lips.
“It’s not difficult. Just be careful with it.”
“I have that level of courtesy too.”
“I’m sorry for this.”
He laughed and said goodbye to me. Logs also went up to the town and took Wyle and Steven with him as they walked away from the chief’s house.
Gale, who was looking at those logs, muttered quietly.
“Manners…you’ve changed.”
Angel.
I pray that your will will continue to the next generation.
***
Flutter!!
A griffin descending into the entrance of Artarun with a fluttering of wings.
Kadira said, her head sticking out from above.
“You’ve arrived, Yasha.”
She reached out to Yasha, who was trembling as she got off the griffin.
“Still scared?”
“Yeah…a lot…”
“It’s a shame I couldn’t see that beautiful scenery…well, I’ll see it when I go back, so let’s get used to it then.”
Yasha, who landed on the floor holding Kadira’s hand, opened his mouth with dilated pupils.
“When will you go?”
“Of course.”
“Ah…”
There was one thing that Yasha learned as he became close to Kadira.
The thing is, Cardi is basically a cool person, but very occasionally, in certain situations, she acts stubborn like a child.
And then the moment you see the eyes opening.
“Okay.”
I feel like I’ve been asked a request from a child so pure that I absolutely cannot refuse it.
“I was counting on you to say that!”
Yasha burst into laughter.
Who knew that beneath her cool looks, there was a child so innocent and different from me hiding? However, I didn’t hate this appearance at all.
I was just amazed and thankful that the cool chief was so open to me. It would have been against the rules of the business to not be able to grant her such a small favor.
‘But when I went, I wanted to go with Logs…’
That person who came to mind unconsciously.
Yasha covered his face with both hands and shook his head strongly.
What am I saying…
Logs is a noble and also a benefactor.
He is not someone I can dare to overlook.
Still… wouldn’t it be okay if I like it?
Who knows? Logs likes me too…!
“Yasha, are you okay?”
“Huh!? Huh! Of course.”
Kadira, who was looking at Yasha with concern as he took a step back in surprise, answered with her usual faint smile.
“Then that’s good. If you’re really sick, I’ll give you some medicine.”
“Thank you.”
As Yasha scratched the back of his head and smiled faintly, he heard someone’s voice behind him.
“Did you come out to pick us up?”
“Oh! When did Lina come?”
“We just got here, you guys?”
“We just got here too.”
While Lina and Kadira were talking, Yasha looked around.
‘Didn’t Logs come?’
…I guess there’s nothing we can do since they left later than us.
Yasha followed Kadira into the gates, suppressing his regret.
Step by step, step by step.
At that moment, a carriage came into view behind them. It was the carriage the senior boys had ridden in.
‘no way!’
I know that Logs started out separately from the others.
Still, Yasha stared intently at the carriage, expecting that there was a small chance that they might have met in the middle and come together.
However, starting with Sarah getting off the carriage, who was throwing a tantrum, other children got off, and last of all was Adele, who was struggling to get off the carriage, creaking open the door.
Asengerogs was nowhere to be seen. Well… I thought so…
Yasha died like a withered flower.
“Does this mean all the seniors are here?”
Kadira nodded in response to Lina’s question.
“The seniors are all here.”
“Logs are still there, right?”
“Him? He’ll probably be here much later than us. He’ll tease us a lot using this opportunity.”
Having never been able to defeat Logz verbally, she was confident that she had finally defeated him this time. And Cardi smiled devilishly as she promised to tease him as much as he had teased her.
Lina smiled awkwardly and agreed with her words.
The children who got off the carriage approached the space where Lina and Kadira were gathered, one by one.
Even though they had only seen each other for a few days, the kids greeted each other more warmly than ever before and went inside after completing immigration procedures at the entrance.
The first thing they saw when they entered the city walls was the bustling cityscape.
The next thing I saw was the 10th and 9th warriors waiting for the kids on the side.
“Who, sister?”
Warrior Sana was delighted to meet Sarah and hugged her tightly.
“Ah… My little brother was lacking vitamins.”
“Sister! It hurts!!”
“Wouldn’t you be patient for a little bit for this older sister, little sister? Sniff sniff.”
“Ah! Don’t sniff me!!”
The only one who was bewildered by the sight was Yasha, while the rest of the kids quickly passed Sana as if they were used to it and stood in front of the 9th warrior Ella.
“Are you the only ones who arrived?”
“Yes.”
“…That Shanno…no, Logs Avantche didn’t come with you?’
“Logs…I think they’ll be a little late.”
Ella felt a turmoil of emotions at Lina’s answer.
If Logz doesn’t come this time, the senior will definitely lose interest in him.
On the contrary, if he didn’t come, Adrian would have to investigate this place alone.
And no matter how you think about it, it was dangerous.
If that shang nom arrives late, he’ll automatically be eliminated and go back with the others fairly. Then this operation will end in failure…
Senior, you must be disappointed in me for participating here, including Logs. That is absolutely not possible!!
I’m already annoyed that I’ve been separated from my senior, and now my senior’s trust has been lost because of that guy, even though it’s not my fault?
That kind of future absolutely cannot happen.
I’m trying to find it even now…
Did he run away? What if he never left in the first place?
Even if it were me, I don’t think I’d be able to bring it on time… Ah! And there’s no senior either!
it’s annoying!!
“, Ella?”
In response to Lina’s worried question, the angry woman from earlier disappeared like the wind and answered with a calm expression.
“Of course. So… those logs are leaving, right?”
“I don’t know how to do that either…but wouldn’t I have done it anyway?”
After Lina answered that she was not sure, Kadira opened her mouth.
“By the way, didn’t you tell us to go first because you had something to do?”
“That’s right?”
“Isn’t that an excuse to run away? Sometimes, there are kids who don’t even leave because they don’t think they’ll make it.”
“Hey…no way…”
“He could definitely do that.”
“Is that so?”
Lina nodded as if she had a point, convinced by Kadira’s words. The other children also did not refute her words, but quietly agreed with her.
Thud thud.
at that time.
Someone approached them.
“Can’t you at least give me a rebuttal?”
He seemed to be enjoying the city, with food in both hands and wearing fancy casual clothes instead of a uniform.
It was Logs Avance.
As they stared blankly at Logs with their mouths wide open, Logs spoke as if nothing had happened.
“Why are you guys so late?”
