-Thump, thump.

Camilla slowly began to open her eyes to the sound of falling water drops.

It was quiet.

It was so quiet that he could clearly hear his own heart beating and his blood flowing.

It was dark.

It was so dark that he couldn’t even see what was right in front of him.

However, this did not cause any difficulties for Camilla.

Her senses, her mana, have reached a new level.

“Whew… .”

Not only did it illuminate everything around it, it also began to relay all information to Camille.

No, rather, it even gave Camilla a kind of omnipotence.

Camilla knew this instinctively.

“Grandma. Even though it was just the tip of your toes, you touched it?”

Camilla raised the corners of her mouth playfully and smiled refreshingly as she stretched out her right arm.

At the tips of Camilla’s outstretched fingers, something cold and rough, with a texture that suited this stillness and darkness, was touching.

“Sigh!”

Camilla grabbed it and pulled it out.

-Hung!

And then he swung towards the thick darkness.

Just one action.

Even that alone was a thin, solid line throughout the cave that held Camilla in deep darkness.

-Quaqua light!

Within, light was scattered all over Camilla’s body.

“Ah! It’s so bright.”

It was the end of the closed-door training.

*

It may seem obvious, but the first thing Camilla did after finishing her closed-door training was…

It was a stop at his own territory.

Of course, even if he had left Ellen in the care of his loyal right-hand man, Sebas, while he was in hiding, wouldn’t there have been problems with the monarch, Camilla, since he was gone?

In fact, I really wanted to leave and go back quickly so I could spread out and get some sleep.

“… Should I have stayed a little longer?”

Camilla forced a smile on her face as she headed towards her castle, Ellen, despite the thought of having to do some work that made her head spin.

Still, since it had been a long time since I saw you, I could feel quite refreshed.

but.

Camilla’s mood didn’t last long either.

“Hey. What the hell is going on?”

“… My lord.”

He was old and wrinkled, looking at himself with shaking pupils, but his loyalty was real.

“Answer me straight. Why are you opening your eyes like that?”

Because he was not welcoming this situation at all, but rather was afraid of it.

“… That’s it.”

Sebas avoided Camilla’s gaze and opened his lips slightly.

An attitude that seems hesitant to speak clearly.

Camilla tried to suppress her nervousness and approached Sebas.

Even at that moment, Camilla’s head was spinning quickly, and she was even assuming the worst.

‘A rebellion in Ellen? A telegram from the capital? Damn it! I should have come back a little sooner!’

“… Huh?”

But, fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn’t the worst situation Camilla had imagined.

However, something unimaginable happened to Camilla.

“What is it?”

A mountain of paperwork.

The name written there was so familiar to him.

There’s no way I wouldn’t know. There’s no way I wouldn’t be confused.

“… Grandma?”

Cheonharang. Because of her, thanks to her, I realized my own shortcomings and went into seclusion for a long time.

Camilla’s head, which had been hot for a moment, began to cool down.

That appearance was truly that of an iron-blooded man.

“Hey. You piece of shit.”

“… Yes, my lord.”

“From now on, tell me everything that happened while I was away.”

◦I will follow the orders of %◦”

Iron Blood declared, and his loyal subjects followed.

So began the story, whether short or long, while Camilla was closing down.

And, as the story was slowly coming to a close.

Camilla experienced dizziness for the first time in her life.

“Hey, Grandma. What the hell are you doing?”

You’re saying the sky is falling? Really?

And, what.

Hostile to the Empire and joining hands with the Demons?

That scared old lady?

Are you serious about that?

Sebas’s absurd explanation made me momentarily suspicious, but it quickly disappeared.

‘No, it must be true.’

Because Sebas would never lie.

So then, what should we do about this?

The worries were short.

“What, I have a ton of work to do as soon as I get out.”

Camilla sighed deeply in front of others, out of place, and slung her greatsword on her back.

“Prepare the carriage… No, I’ll go alone.”

“… Are you leaving?”

“Shut up, I got used to it while I was in the closed office, so it’s okay. Okay, I’ll go and come back.”

Sebas bit his lips as if he had a lot to say, as Camilla added nonchalantly.

A gesture that clearly seems to want to stop.

However, even though he wanted to stop his master, he could not do so.

Camilla, who he had been watching since before she ascended to the throne, had a somewhat sad expression on her face, which he had never seen before.

So, I just nodded my head.

“Yes… .”

“I’ll be right back. Don’t worry.”

So, Camilla left Ellen again to find Cheonharang.

“Before meeting the old lady, should we meet the sloppy warrior and the impure saintess?”

Because I need to hear a detailed explanation.

* * *

A city where the sky suddenly fell and nothing was visible.

Lucius stared blankly at the place, frowning.

It was miserable.

If you think about the usual Cheonharang, this was an extremely tragic sight.

Where was the sky that should have been blue? Thick darkness had settled.

Beyond that, the sun that should have been shining warmly on them only scattered bitter heat.

As if to fill the empty space in the sky, fierce storms rose endlessly from the ground, and the rough waves they created made this place absolutely uninhabitable.

“…”

Lucius was speechless for a moment.

There wasn’t a big reason for it, and I had no idea where to start solving it.

No, leaving it at that, I couldn’t understand why Cheonharang would do something like this.

Lucius, he returned from the future.

It means that you have another chance to change the future through an unknown force.

However, I have never experienced a situation like this.

In the first place, Cheonharang is the Demon King?

Originally, the Demon King would have been a man with a slightly more muscular build and white hair.

“… Where on earth did it go wrong.”

What kind of butterfly effect occurred?

Where did it go wrong?

The moment Lucius’s body collapses due to a sudden surge of dizziness.

“… Are you okay?”

Thanks to the saint Elia supporting Lucius, he was able to avoid falling.

“Saint… .”

Lucius greeted the saint with wide eyes, looking a little surprised.

Why would she be here?

No, just being here can be like that.

In the first place, since you came here with me, it’s not that strange to have you by my side.

But shouldn’t Elia be doing some clean-up work in this area?

As I conveyed that thought, Elia began pointing beyond the city.

“… Camilla is coming.”

* * *

“… This place is.”

This is the place where the warrior and the saint met.

That place where the presence of that unpleasant guy could be felt.

God’s Sword Technique

He frowned and lowered his sword.

First meal

Then, even though I clearly didn’t take any particular stance.

Even though I didn’t take proper supplements.

Cheonharang’s sword soared into the sky and began to bring down the high sky.

Optimism

However, Cheonharang clicked his tongue slightly as he felt no special movement and moved his feet again.

“… Not here either.”

This is my fourth time getting optimistic.

The saint and the warrior, passing by the path they took, continue to bring down the sky.

But, I couldn’t find him.

At this point, a question began to arise in my mind.

Does this guy even exist?

If I recall the words of the anonymous, nameless person of the past, they were somewhat correct.

He said, God.

The warrior and the saint are fictional beings that originated from human beliefs and were born from the intersection of fervent desire and upright heart.

But isn’t it a little strange?

The presence I felt definitely existed.

Maybe that nameless guy just couldn’t find what God was.

Of course, there is little point in seeking God now.

He wasn’t the object of my hatred, and I had no intention of meeting him and doing anything with him.

However, I am doing this because I was asked to do something by Lily and the children.

…and at the same time, my doubts are also resolved.

Don’t you know?

Was the nameless one lying, or was the nameless one also fooled by his scheme and reported the wrong facts?

“… Tsk.”

I sighed at my own misery.

Yes, he is still running away.

It’s still hard to believe the anonymous words.

“No.”

That wouldn’t be so wrong.

This was reasonable.

At first, it would be understandable if there were one or two strange things, but this is too strange.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to talk to him to find out.”

After saying those words, he started walking again.

From far away, the warrior and the saintess’ presence began to slowly approach.

Yes, a disaster occurred where the sky fell after Cheonharang passed by.

Strangely enough, there were no casualties.
