As Harang swings his sword, the once blue sky falls and touches the ground.

As she takes a step, everything around her loses its color.

A world that has lost its light and is completely black and white.

Cheonharang walked and walked there silently.

There was no one to stop her.

The speed of the advance was so fast, and just being by her side was so stressful that it drained my psychic energy.

Harang, who had been walking while staring straight ahead, smiled slightly as she realized that the sensation under her feet had changed.

A snowdrift so high that your feet can sink in.

“… Is this where you met Camilla?”

Harang smiled bitterly as he recalled Camilla, who had entered the closed-door training.

It should be out by now.

Well, then you might end up dealing with yourself.

“I don’t like that… .”

However, that doesn’t mean we can skip Ellen.

Because I wanted to visit all the places that the warrior and the saint had accompanied me to.

Ellen, who had been left out of Camilla’s thoughts, has now visited all the other places.

I couldn’t put it off any longer.

“What… .”

To be honest, it would be most certain to check while facing the warrior and the saint.

It’s embarrassing to look at her face when I think about how I harbored a little hatred due to my own misunderstanding.

…if the person you are looking for is not in Ellen.

But we have no choice but to meet.

“…”

The smile on Harang’s face disappeared.

* * *

“So… what you’re saying, Saintess, is that Iron Blood Lord coming here?”

“… Yes.”

Lucius frowned slightly and turned his head in the direction Elia pointed.

Then, from far away, a small shape begins to gradually grow larger.

Lucius instinctively knew that this was the Iron Blood he was thinking of.

But, still, a question arises.

Why is the Iron Blood advancing here, leaving Northern Ellen behind?

This does not mean that Cheolhyeol should have been practicing closed-door training yet.

This is because the current expected route of Cheonharang is heading towards Northern Ellen.

So, they don’t have to come this way, they will move there… .

“What… .”

Now, since the Iron Bloods are coming to where they are, these things don’t matter anymore.

Judging by Camilla’s speed, it doesn’t seem like there would be any delay even if she came here. Cheonharang’s advance speed is also quite slow.

As Lucius pondered these thoughts for a while, the distance between them grew close enough that he could clearly see Camilla’s expression.

“… It looks like Iron Blood is feeling uneasy.”

“Is that so…?”

Lucius smiled slightly at the sight of Elia cowering in fear, then shrugged his shoulders and faced Camilla, who had arrived right in front of him.

-thud!

“It’s been a while, Iron Blood.”

“Hey, you piece of shit. Enough with the greetings, what’s going on?”

Camilla, waving her hand and approaching Lucius’ nose, added with a frown.

“Tell me everything you know about grandma.”

I also thought that I had grown to some extent.

Lucius nodded awkwardly, looking at his own shabby appearance compared to Camilla’s.

“… Yes.”

At first, I was thinking of telling her everything, because I had no other choice.

“I also don’t know everything because it’s sudden… but I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“Speak quickly.”

“It starts at a place called ‘the end of the world’… ”

Camilla was listening to Lucius’ story, comparing it to the information she had heard from Sebas.

First of all, since ‘The End of the World’ is quite close to Northern Ellen, the time when Cheonharang first appeared was the same.

However, I didn’t know about Cheonharang’s subsequent appearance, actions, or next destination, but Lucius told me.

“… How ridiculous. Grandma? Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Lucius’s explanation to Camilla’s question was concise and powerful.

“So… .”

The sky disappeared at every street that Cheonharang passed by. It was a moment that was almost like a disaster.

In addition, if we listen to her impressions based on the testimonies of those who witnessed Cheonharang.

“You have horns on your head?”

“… Yes, I have not personally verified this.”

“This is driving me crazy.”

Camilla added softly and sighed deeply.

Horns?

Is that really the horns that grew on the head of the girl he knew?

No, is that even possible?

That would be the case, ordinary… not ordinary.

Anyway, isn’t this talking about horns growing on top of humans’ heads that weren’t there before?

A horn on top of a human head that is neither human nor mixed-race!

I would understand if he had worn it as a joke to do something like that with Anonymous, but judging from Lucius’ serious reaction, it seems like it’s a ‘real’ horn.

Yeah, well.

If I give in 100 steps, horns might have grown.

Looking at her distant ancestors, it seems possible that there could be a demon tribe, and as Cheonharang achieved a realm that she could not, there may have been a change in her state of mind.

So, that’s understandable.

but.

“Why is Grandma doing that?”

“… I’m not sure why.”

I have absolutely no idea why she would go out of her way to do such a thing.

At that time, is there anything that comes to mind when you look at your own questioning expression?

“Ah.”

Lucius, who had let out a short remark, began to add with a serious expression.

“… This is just my guess.”

It is said that Cheonharang originally possessed a military group that they did not know about.

And, the source of the armed group was assumed to be the Demon tribe. There was also clear evidence for this.

“At the time, I was in a panic, so I didn’t think much about it, but it was definitely the jackal’s magic.”

“Jackal? Isn’t that the one you were chasing?”

That’s right, the magical energy that Lucius was chasing while he was in Ellen was felt in the cabin where Cheonharang lived.

At first, I really thought, ‘It’s my own mistake, it happened because I was too sensitive.’

Looking at what has now happened, Lucius’s initial guess may have been correct.

“So, what you’re saying is, Grandma approached us with a purpose from the beginning?”

Lucius responded awkwardly as Camilla narrowed her eyes and asked with a sharp expression.

“… That might be the case.”

In reality, even Lucius is not sure about anything, it’s just a hypothesis.

But, it is also true that there is some truth to it.

Camilla frowned at the flood of information pouring in and brought her sword down.

“… Then, where did he go?”

“That guy…? Who are you talking about?”

Camilla added, stamping her foot in frustration, to Lucius’s question, who tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

“There’s that pedo check, grandma’s disciple.”

“Ah. Anonymous.”

Only then did Lucius realize who Camilla was talking about and he made a troubled expression.

Camilla couldn’t understand why she suddenly shut her mouth.

‘You’ve been speaking well so far?’

Why are you so silent about the pedophile test when you talk so much about Cheonharang?

“What the hell is wrong-”

At that moment, he was about to ask Lucius more questions.

In the corner of Camilla’s vision, a suspiciously familiar man began to appear.

“There’s a pedophile test over there?”

“Camilla, wait a minute…!”

It was such a familiar feeling that I didn’t even pay attention to it, but here it is!

“Get out of the way.”

Camilla lightly shook off Lucius’s hand that was restraining her and approached the nameless man.

And then, I faced anonymity.

“Why is he like this again?”

“…”

Not in very good condition.

No, not a little bit.

Anyone who saw him had a red eye with dark circles clearly visible under his eyes, as if he had not slept for several days.

Even a dog passing by could tell that the dog was shedding tears.

But for Camilla, being anonymous was extremely frustrating.

-match!

In the case of Lucius or Elia, they have good personalities and might have left them alone in this situation, but not me.

“Hey. Come on.”

Camilla, who had slapped the nameless man once, grabbed the nameless man by the collar and asked.

“Do you know what your master is doing right now?”

“…”

Still, no answer comes back.

Feeling frustrated with him, Camilla sighed deeply and lowered her voice as she added.

“If you don’t say anything now, it will really mean that Granny attacked the empire.”

Of course, they still attacked now… but there were no casualties, right?

If you somehow manage to get through it, it might be okay.

As Camilla, it was painful to say this, but the immediate solution took priority.

In fact, didn’t this pedophile test, which had been unresponsive until now, show any response?

“You should tell us what you know, so that the Empire can move forward and me and that sloppy warrior won’t have to fight that old lady.”

Camilla, who had witnessed him clearly, began to press him, thinking that this was her last chance.

“If you just tell me nicely, I can give you some leniency, right? Even if you’re a grandma, you know you can’t guarantee anything if you go head-to-head with the entire empire, right?”

In fact, Camilla thought that if they really lost, the Empire would lose… .

If you keep saying that, this pedophile inspector might keep his mouth shut.

Using a little lie as seasoning.

“So, tell me. If you don’t want to get left behind.”
