smart.

I was awakened from my sleep by a knock on the door in the middle of the night.

I checked the time and saw that it was already past dawn.

No one will come to visit at a time like this.

If it were a colleague, they would have already infiltrated before I got permission.

“Who is it?”

I got up from the bed and opened the door.

The person standing in front of the door was Lee Ji-ah, a saint with black hair and deep black eyes that seemed to contain the universe.

“Saint? Why at a time like this.”

“Ah.. Wow. The High Priest wants to meet the Savior.”

“At a time like this?”

No matter how urgent it was, it wasn’t something that had to be done by waking someone up in the early morning.

You can watch it the next day according to your schedule.

Lee Ji-ah, who read my expression saying it was difficult to understand, said with an apologetic expression.

“That is, the High Priest is not the only one who wants to meet the Savior. Other people also want to meet the Savior.”

“Then, spend the day with that person.”

“Actually… it’s difficult to meet him other than now. I don’t really feel like it, but I have no choice but to follow him now.”

“That person..?”

When I saw Lee Ji-ah’s expression, it was even more difficult for me to understand.

I don’t know who the person who wants to meet me is, but the saintess standing shoulder to shoulder with the high priest in the temple is the person who bows her head like this.

There were only a few people like that.

It is especially difficult to move around during the day. If you think of a person who can only move secretly in the early morning… late at night.

There was only one person I was thinking of.

“Perhaps. Is there someone who wants to meet me other than the high priest… the sun here?”

“….”

When I saw Lee Ji-ah’s eyebrows furrow in an instant, I thought it was the right answer.

“After…”

I just sigh.

I heard it from Bella.

I heard that the king of the game era has already passed away, and now the next generation is taking over.

I also asked other colleagues about the king.

-I don’t know? I’m locked in my room and just creating power.

Kar didn’t pay attention to things that weren’t his business.

-I was busy looking for Ryuk, but it’s not my concern whether that crazy guy dies or not.

Rosellnia treated the king like a crazy person.

-I’m not interested either.

-king? Has there ever been such a person?

Afriye and Limrim also did not pay attention.

-Because the beginner village I was in is not a place where the king has influence.

Ray wasn’t that interested either.

Now the only person left was Arvin, the only hope.

There may be princess sisters, too. Are they rolling hard in the princess class or under Mariana? There is no time to pay attention to anything else.

-Yeah~ It would be more profitable for me to go into the workshop and do my own research rather than paying attention to that guy.

Even Arvin, the last hope, had no interest in the world.

Well, the reason everyone gathered here was because I asked for it.

These are people who would never have gathered without me.

Still, I had to meet the new king at least once.

It’s currently been locked in the guild warehouse for a long time.

An item I brought out just in case.

I looked at the item and spoke to Lee Ji-ah.

“Let’s go. Because I also had to meet the king once.”

“Meeting the king…?”

Why are you looking at me with a strange expression?

“Any problem?”

“Oh, no. There is no problem. Just… let’s go for now.”

I wonder why she made that expression just now.

I followed Ji-ah Lee, who took the lead and started guiding.

The place we arrived wasn’t that far from the room we were guided to.

Because it was only between one building.

smart.

“Please come in.”

Immediately after knocking, I heard an older-looking voice coming from inside.

When permission was given, Lee Ji-ah opened the door and went inside.

The interior was quite spacious, as can be seen just by the size of the door.

The only furniture in that large space was a round table and chairs in the center.

The people sitting at the round table turned their gaze towards me as I entered.

‘One old woman. That person must be the high priest. The young-looking man sitting next to him is the High Priest.’

Besides that, I could tell that the man wearing armor was a temple thief.

Lastly, the person who hides his identity by wearing a cape over his head.

‘That person is the current king of this Shafria continent.’

I couldn’t tell the gender because of the cloak.

However, the appearance and height are slightly visible from inside the cloak. And considering the king’s age.

I could immediately tell that it was a woman and not a man.

How many times have I hugged a woman so far?

This was easy.

Of course, it is limited to colleagues.

The number of people alone was close to 10.

“Mr. I brought a savior.”

“Good job. First, come over here and sit down. Same with the savior.”

At the words of the high priest, I took out the chair and sat on it.

The moment you sit down. No, it’s a man in armor who has been glaring at me from the moment I entered here.

“Why does the temple knight look at me disapprovingly?”

“It goes without saying that I do not think of you as a savior.”

“Um… I mean that now. Does that sound like treason?”

“..what? Where is this guy? Because they say you are the savior. I guess you think it’s real. With you.”

“Shut up. So, why did you call me, High Priest?”

I looked away, interrupting the temple knight captain.

“Infidels..”

“Stop.”

In the end, due to the high priest’s dissuasion, the knight captain had no choice but to clench his teeth.

Even though I tried to dissuade him, his glare at me did not change. In fact, it just got stronger.

“I’m sorry. The knight captain was so loyal that he was rude to the savior.”

“If that loyalty is wrong, wouldn’t it be better to change it or throw it away? Although it would be faster to feed the neighborhood dogs to make them loyal.”

Did my words bother you?

The knight captain slammed the table hard and stood up.

bang!

“He’s like a heretic! Don’t use your mouth like I’m asking where I am. Wow!”

A huge amount of water falling on the knight captain’s head.

I ended up drinking water through my mouth and nose when I couldn’t catch my breath.

“Cough! Cough! This guy…”

“You were just talking about heretics. Now you bastard?”

I do not show mercy to those who oppose me.

That was the only milestone I’ve been following since I came here.

If I don’t set this up, they will just treat me like a brat.

Although this is a game world, it could be called another reality.

There is no friendly explanation like in the game.

“Right away. Kill..”

“Stop it. Knight Captain. I ask you to leave immediately.”

“Why.. Ugh. All right.

In the end, the high priest ended up expelling the knight captain.

Even the moment I left, he was glaring at me with his teeth clenched.

That one. I still can’t come to my senses.

“You have a regretful expression now.”

“I have no facial expression..”

“There was no expression, but I lived a long time too. Just by looking at the person’s mood, you can roughly tell what he or she is thinking.”

It wasn’t wrong.

I felt regretful, and the moment the knight captain pulled out his sword.

I was thinking of cutting it into thousands of pieces right away.

The high priest noticed this right away and ordered me to leave in order to save the knight captain, not me.

“Then let’s start the proper meeting.”

At the words of the high priest, the king took off his cloak and said.

“First of all, I would like to say something. There was a long delay so I had to go back soon. I came out secretly today too.”

“No, you..”

The king took off his cloak.

No, the queen was a face I knew.

Unlike before, time has passed and my face has grown, but the face from when I was young still remains.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out.

“It’s been a while. I was surprised too. no way. The player appears in this world again.”

“At that time, I didn’t know that the little girl would become the king… or queen, did you? I expected it, but I heard a rumor that it doesn’t show up often, so I thought it was someone else.”

“I also want to go out and play, but it’s just a seat. That’s not possible. Because I’m always busy with work and things don’t work without me. And.. I also have a promise I made a long time ago.”

The queen looked at me and slowly stood up.

“Are you leaving now?”

“That’s right. I also saw our savior. I will slowly fall into it. Minister. And even the vicar and the saint. Thank you for listening to my stubbornness.”

The queen bowed her head and walked out of the temple.

“It’s a big deal. If something happens while moving alone.”

The deputy was worried when he saw the queen leaving alone.

It was pointless.

The gaze I felt from the moment I came here.

It wasn’t just the people sitting at the table here.

*

Those who come out of the temple.

Several people hiding in the dark moved simultaneously and circled around the queen.

“Queen. Are you okay?”

“Am I okay? Is there something wrong? Ah.. If it was the fight between the savior and the temple knight captain a little while ago, that was…”

“Sorry to interrupt, but… that’s not what I’m asking.”

“Yes? If not…”

“That savior… is strong. So much so that even if a temple knight attacks you sometimes, you won’t be able to win.”

“Is it to the point where you can’t win even if you fight?”

“…”

The queen’s guard was rumored to be the strongest on the continent.

The fact that such an escort never forgot what he said was enough to answer the question.

“Then I guess I should hurry. Since that person has become a savior, it means that the enemy is stronger. First of all, I need to clean up the surrounding trash. A smell is rising.”

At the queen’s words, the guards moved in unison.
