Chapter Index

    Camilla’s words came out as if they were somewhat threatening.

    “…”

    However, upon hearing those words, Moo-myeong looked blank, which made Camilla feel frustrated.

    But Camilla didn’t rush it.

    “Tsk.”

    This guy will need time to think eventually, and even if he delays his reply, he won’t keep his mouth shut all day, right?

    For now, it’s best to wait.

    First of all, according to Lucius, there are no casualties, so there is a little more time.

    Let’s keep quiet for a moment while thinking about that.

    Five minutes passed, then thirty minutes, and the waiting time was slowly approaching an hour.

    “Profit…! What are you trying to do!”

    Camilla, her face flushed red, stamped her feet and shouted at the anonymous.

    “You’re a disciple, so you don’t worry about your teacher?”

    “…”

    “You piece of trash, do whatever you want.”

    Camilla, who expressed her frustration by hitting her flat chest, roughly pushed the nameless man’s shoulder and narrowed her eyes.

    “I’d rather worry about you, who I haven’t seen much of, than you, who I’ve been with for years.”

    At those words, the expression on Camilla’s face seemed to have become even more gloomy, but Camilla ignored it.

    I’m anxious to delay any longer.

    You never know when Cheonharang will make a sudden move, and that means there won’t be any casualties.

    In the tragedy where the sky fell due to Cheonharang, there was no damage to the citizens.

    Oh, the sky is falling?

    Not only would the surrounding buildings be in ruins, but farmers would have lost their jobs.

    So, it would be right to subdue the outrageous Cheonharang as quickly as possible.

    Camilla clicked her tongue once and stepped forward, kicking Lucius’ butt as if urging him on.

    “You rascals, leave this trash alone!”

    “… Okay.”

    Eventually, they left the nameless and went out to find Cheonharang, and the nameless, left alone in the empty ruins, could only watch them leave with their mouths slightly agape.

    “Do you think you can do it?”

    While I was quickly returning to Ellen.

    Camilla, with an unexpectedly serious expression on her face, asked Lucius, who was also stepping forward with all his might beside her.

    “What do you mean?”

    “Hey, are you really that stupid?”

    Camilla, who had been sticking her tongue out in disgust at the sight of Lucius tilting his head in confusion, sighed deeply and added.

    “Grandma, stop talking.”

    As before, Camilla’s voice was low, and Lucius shook his head slightly.

    Lucius didn’t see a future where even ten people with the same level of strength as him could stop Cheonharang.

    Lucius’ pride was not hurt by that.

    Because it’s Cheonharang.

    She is so out of the ordinary.

    Besides, even if the level of mana that Camilla possesses were to increase once, would it still be able to reach that heavenly being?

    … I wasn’t sure.

    At Lucius’ reaction, Camilla smiled faintly and added.

    “Right? Grandma must be quite strong.”

    There is no answer.

    Camilla muttered softly and let out a sigh as if the ground was about to collapse.

    … Honestly, I wasn’t afraid because I couldn’t see a future where she would subdue them or take their lives.

    Well, that’s because it’s Cheonharang.

    She is the type of person who walks very carefully, for fear of accidentally stepping on a bug and killing it.

    They could never have imagined that someone they had developed a certain level of friendship with would pose a threat to them.

    Camilla, who had been thinking for a while, found herself taking this situation lightly and let out a laugh.

    “… Huh.”

    This is an opponent I might end up fighting from now on, and I can’t believe I’m thinking like this.

    It’s a bit absurd.

    Yes, Camilla smiled self-deprecatingly.

    “… Over there.”

    Elia, who had been hanging on Lucius’s back like a burden, called out to the two of them.

    “Wow… Is this okay?”

    “Yeah… Okay, it’s okay- Woof!”

    Her expression was so pale and pale that it was worrisome, as if she was getting dizzy from the shaking Lucius.

    Even in that state, Elia added with her eyes tightly shut, as if she had something she absolutely had to say.

    “Isn’t this a situation where Harang can’t do anything?”

    “A helpless situation? What does that mean?”

    “Think about it carefully.”

    Elia’s point was simple.

    How could she, who was so upright that Camilla thought so, and even Lucius thought so for a moment, do such a thing?

    Honestly, if I had only heard about it through word of mouth without seeing the tragedy, I would have thought it was a lie.

    That’s why, as Elia, no, as all of us, we can’t believe the current situation.

    Lucius and Camilla frowned and muttered after hearing Elia’s words.

    Rather, it was more credible that someone else, as Elia had just said, had told her to do it rather than that she was just going wild.

    Of course, this too was an easy conclusion to draw.

    Control Cheonharang? How?

    Common sense tells you that it doesn’t make sense for someone with her level of power to be controlled.

    As that thought occurred to them, something struck their minds as if by lightning.

    “Pedo test?”

    “Anonymous… ?”

    That’s right, Cheonmu-myeong didn’t say anything to their questions as if he felt guilty.

    If that dark being used some method to take Cheonmumyung’s life,

    You will be able to control the world well enough.

    Of course, to Cheon Ha and her, Cheon Mu-myeong is not just a teacher and student relationship.

    Because the only one who has the value to threaten her is Cheon Mu-myeong.

    If that’s the case, then it makes sense that she’s doing that.

    “And…Lucius, think carefully… .”

    The evil energy that was embedded in Cheonmumyung’s heart.

    The cane that served as the medium.

    As Elia continued to speak, Lucius’s expression began to frown, and now his teeth were beginning to grind.

    “… The nameless one.”

    That was him.

    In the end, this time too, he is the one who caused everything.

    Also, he planned the whole thing.

    “Damn, I got treated the same way last time… .”

    Why did you rule out that possibility?

    I feel like banging my head against the ground because of my own stupidity and dullness.

    I knew this because Elia told me.

    Camilla tilted her head, unable to understand Lucius’ appearance.

    “What? Do you know anything?”

    “… Yes, I will explain.”

    Soon, Lucius began to tell a somewhat long story to Camilla, who had a curious expression on her face.

    * * *

    Anonymous looked around with a blank expression.

    A city that was transformed into a miserable state by his master, Cheonharang.

    When I recalled that old scene, my heart ached.

    The place where the slums where the Cheonmasingyo Church was established were located.

    The place where I first met Lucius and Elia.

    The place where he received the sword from his master.

    The place where the teacher enjoyed eating strawberries.

    The place where we trained together… The place where we toured the village… The place where the Master once saved us from trauma… .

    A place filled with many happy memories.

    That place has now been completely destroyed by his master, Cheonharang.

    So, the nameless heart began to ache.

    It’s as if the Master is saying that my memories with him are nothing. It seems as if he is going to cut off all ties with me now.

    “… Master.”

    I miss you.

    Anonymous couldn’t bring himself to say these words, so he swallowed them in his heart and his eyes turned red.

    I felt sorry for myself.

    As Camilla said, if she stays here, the Master may be in danger.

    It seems like it would leave a huge scar on your heart, rather than a physical danger.

    Well, isn’t the teacher the teacher?

    Even if the whole world rushes at you, I can’t imagine the Master losing.

    But, after subduing everyone, Master.

    Will such a future teacher be happy?

    “…”

    I know it’s off-topic, but I don’t think so.

    No, if you think about the teacher’s kind nature, it can’t be helped.

    So then what should one do?

    How can I make my teacher happy instead of sad?

    One thing is certain, it won’t be a future that comes without you doing anything.

    However, I am not sure if the Master will be happy just because I do something.

    Well… isn’t it true that the reason why the Master acts like that lies entirely with you?

    … It’s not that I don’t feel aggrieved at all.

    Anyway, that’s not what’s important.

    Now I have no intention of saying who was at fault or that I didn’t do it.

    But, the Master said.

    ‘If there is even a single possibility, we must observe it deeply and always be on guard.’

    In other words, as long as there is even a tiny chance that things will work out hopefully.

    We need to watch it, ponder it, chew on it, and find a breakthrough.

    So, isn’t it time for you to do something now? Isn’t it okay to try?

    “ha… .”

    It took me a long time to come to this point, as I was stuck in a swamp of excessive depression.

    Anonymous was a gift from the Master, no.

    He got up from his seat, holding not the sword that was that son of a bitch’s heirloom, but a crude wooden sword that his master had made for him.

    As expected, nature cannot be deceived.

    You have to do what you want to do to feel satisfied.

    It is said that just observing without doing anything is not spiritual.

    “I’ll be there soon.”

    ‘Master.’

    An empty lot, all that was left was smoke rising from the ground kicked by an unknown person.
