“Huh? Is that true?”

“Yes.”

“… I’ll leave right away.”

When the light in the crystal ball disappears and what is reflected there becomes your own face.

Elia let out a deep sigh, got up from her seat, and called out to Lucius, who was nearby.

“Lucius!”

Was it because the voice sounded urgent, or was it because it really was hovering near Elia?

Lucius, who appeared in front of Elia in an instant, tilted his head.

“Yes, Madam, what’s wrong?”

“… I think something came up.”

Lucius’s head tilted even further at the sight of the saint sighing as she spoke.

‘… something happened?’

If Elia, who tends to solve things on her own, tells him about it, it’s not an ordinary matter.

“What’s going on?”

“In the palace… .”

“In the palace…?”

Lucius swallowed nervously and waited for Elia to finish speaking.

“Harang-nim attacked you…?”

Elia tilted her head as she spoke.

Lucius’ expression became strange.

“What the heck… .”

What kind of nonsense is this?

The warrior blinked his eyes and continued his thoughts.

The Cheonharang that I know does not have a personality that is evil enough to harm others. On the contrary, he is one of the few people who makes you think, ‘If he is this kind, won’t he get scammed?’

If you think about it, he would sometimes help me with things that were of no help to me at all, using the cute excuse of ‘strawberry’, and he would also look after my attitude even though I had no connection to him at all.

Moreover, didn’t you become close friends with Camilla, who is called ‘Iron-Blooded’?

The character has already been proven.

however.

‘A person like that would raid the palace…?’

To Lucius, what Elia had said to him seemed contradictory, like saying, ‘In fact, fire is cold.’

Elia also seemed to have similar thoughts to Lucius, and she nodded as well.

The silence continued for a long time.

‘… We won’t be able to reach a conclusion if we just talk about it among ourselves.’

It was Lucius who broke it.

Although it was only a short time, Lucius opened his mouth after thinking about many things.

“I guess I should go back to the capital first.”

“Yes… I need to hear the whole story.”

I was worried because Camilla hadn’t come out of the closet yet… .

‘Because this is the north.’

There is absolutely no way to get through it.

It doesn’t seem like I’ll be staying in the capital for that long, so I don’t think I’ll have to worry too much about it.

Above all else.

‘There were no raids into the North during this period.’

Lucius has already experienced the future, and the Demon King’s army will be quiet for the next half year.

“I told Sebas-sama, so let’s leave right away.”

“Yes, I will prepare it.”

The warriors and saints who had taken on the role of shield for the North in Camilla’s stead returned to the capital, and the North’s impregnable shield was temporarily vacated.

And, no one knows how big of a ripple the flapping of a small butterfly’s wings will create.

Even if I knew the future.

* * *

I sighed deeply, feeling like it had been a long time since I felt this way, and looked around.

… It should be around here, oh, there it is.

“Harangnim!”

The sight of Lily jumping around and waving her arms with a big smile on her face made the veins on her forehead pop.

… It’s finally appearing now.

I really had a lot to say, but that’s fortunate.

I slowly walked with my fists clenched. The reason I walked so slowly was to prolong the time Lily was scared.

“Ha, Harangnim… ?”

“Welcome, I had a lot to say, so it’s good.”

As my fist rose, Lily’s pupils began to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.

“Okay, wait!! In our words- Ouch!!!!”

“Because of you, the nameless one…!”

“Ouch! My bone hurt! Why does it hurt if it’s a dream!”

You, my aunt, would know better than I!

“Just get it right!”

“AAAHHHH!!!!!!!”

* * *

He slapped Lily’s forehead without mercy, about five times.

Lily’s forehead was so swollen and red that it gave the illusion that she had three horns.

“Ugh… This is really unfair… .”

Lily, who was shedding tears like chicken poop, rubbed her forehead with her hand while watching me.

…did I hit you too hard?

No, you must not be weak-hearted.

He shook off the blossoming compassion with his head and stuck out his lips poutily.

“What the hell is so unfair?”

“… I didn’t know that either… .”

Lily, who also pouts, turns her head quickly and adds:

“It was originally the sword sheath used by the Demon King, but its shape has changed! This is ridiculous!”

“Huh.”

Look at this guy?

Aside from the fact that you have no remorse at all, there is one more thing that bothers me.

“The sword used by the Demon King…?”

“… Huh? I never said anything like that?”

“Didn’t you say that it was clearly not written by the Demon King, but by a strong demon tribe?”

If my memory serves me right, I’m sure he said that. No, he didn’t.

“Huh?!”

Lily then started to protest, puffing out her cheeks.

“You just said it was hard to get… You never said it was used by the Demons!”

A look of injustice that is so absurd.

But that doesn’t mean what Lily said goes away.

“Didn’t you just say with your own mouth that it was the sword sheath used by the Demon King!”

Lily opened her mouth wide, as if her blind spot had been hit.

“That, that kind of… !”

I smiled victoriously and poked Lily’s cheek with my index finger.

“Tell me honestly, what was your intention?”

“Uh, uh… .”

Lily, whose head moved left and right according to my strength, let out a crying sound and then sighed.

“I don’t know either…! It was the Demon King who asked me to do it.”

“What.”

“Didn’t I tell you when we first met?! That Anonymous was the right person for the job!”

I stroked my throbbing hair at the sight of Lily coming out looking completely different.

“The Demon King probably didn’t have any bad intentions either…!”

“How can you be sure of that?”

Lily tilted her head as if to say, “Of course.”

“After all, it was the Demon King who permitted the establishment of the Cheonma Shingyo!”

“…”

“I have already finished preparing to artificially create a vessel, so there is no reason for the Demon King to harm the nameless one who would be a good force!”

Certainly… it was for that reason that the Cheonma Shingyo was founded.

Of course, if it looks like he’s going to try to make a bowl now, I’ll kill the Demon King myself.

I personally protect the children of the Cheonmasingyo.

… Well, even at that time, it was established with the feeling of overcoming that situation rather than making a sacrifice.

anyway.

“Then, Lily, don’t you know why Nameless became like that?”

“Right… ?”

“… Did the Demon King say anything to you?”

“Neue… Since you were still sealed in the first place, revelations are given once every six months.”

Tsk, so then I have no choice but to watch this nameless body only get worse?

… Doesn’t it feel like it has a limited time?

As her face naturally darkened, Lily smiled faintly and patted my back.

“Don’t worry too much! If only the Demon King wakes up, everything will be resolved!”

Lily’s voice was so clear, I tilted my head and replied.

The voice that came out was bright.

Because it gives hope that the nameless body can be okay.

“… What does that mean? Tell me more.”

Lily, who had been blinking at him, tilted her head.

“I told you earlier, right? That’s the Demon King’s sword.”

“… I made it clear.”

“How can the Demon King, who is your master, not do something to the body of the nameless person?”

Lily raised the corners of her lips to the point of making her feel bad, nodded slightly, and took a step back.

“… Is that so.”

“Yes!”

Lily slowly leaned her head in next to my ear and whispered.

“Do you now have a reason to help the Demon King in his resurrection?”

“Tsk, fall off.”

“Yeah!”

He pushed Lily away, who was laughing heartily, and muttered softly.

“Weren’t we supposed to be partners from the start?”

“That’s right! We were in the same boat from the beginning! Faster than that warrior and saint!”

I sighed deeply at the sight of Lily smiling ‘ahaha’ with her arms spread open.

It seems we can’t just stop the Demon King’s resurrection.

…even for the sake of an anonymous body.

“… What brings you here?”

“Oh, that’s it!”

Lily continued to chatter.

* * *

I woke up and started eating breakfast right away.

“…”

But it didn’t work out, and I know why.

I have so many thoughts right now.

Truly immaturely, I can’t turn off my thoughts even though I know I have a lot of them.

Because it is too difficult a problem for me.

What on earth should I do?

Is it a sin to have lived with such an ambiguous attitude?

Or is it a sin to wish to be good in the end, even though you are so ugly?

I don’t know.

So I’ll do what I do best.

If anyone appears to block my path and the nameless one, I will cut them down.

No matter how much I think about it, this is it.

It’s the only attitude I, an ignorant person, can take.

The thoughts stopped and the morning routine began.

I feel refreshed.
