The moment I heard from Fabi that it was a church job, I gave up on taking her.

If you think about it, it’s a busy time for the church right now. Because the new year is coming soon.

The month of December, when a new year begins, is a time when important events take place one after another for the Jusun Church, so Fabi, who is considered the face of the Jusun Church, must naturally stay in the sacred place and appear at those events.

During summer vacation, I was able to relax because there wasn’t much going on, but now I can’t.

As my thoughts reached that point, I quietly looked at the divinity within Fabi.

Fabi, who had recently acquired the divinity of the main god, quickly got used to her new divinity.

She has previously shown overwhelming skills in handling divinity.

With her talent and effort, along with John’s help, she learned how to control the divinity of the Lord within a few days.

Even now, on the outside, I can’t find anything unusual about Fabi.

Since I am the apostle of the Lord, I feel the warmth of the Lord’s divinity, but not others.

Even Joy and Arthur, who are by Faby’s side right now, don’t know how Fabie has changed.

So even if Fabi were to head to the Holy Land now, only a few people would realize that she had changed.

The problem is those few humans.

As I kept those variables in mind one by one, I came to the conclusion that it was okay to let go of my worries.

Those who deserve to be called trash won’t be able to guess the change in Fabi anyway.

Fabi herself has achieved some level of growth, and Yohan is planning to support her by her side.

More than anything, it’s clear that the Pope will like Faby’s change.

If that guy with absolute power in the church cares about Fabi, something can’t happen.

…Still, it’s better to have at least one safety device.

I stood up and handed a ring to Fabi, who had a red face and didn’t know what to do.

She looked blankly at the ring on my palm and then slowly raised her head.

“Me. Young-ae. What is this?”

‘It’s a gift? no, I do not want?’

“What is it? Do you hate the gift I gave you? Then there is nothing we can do. Take it back.”

When he pretended to take it back, Fabi quickly took the ring in his hand.

“That. It can’t be! I’m just curious what this ring is!”

‘It’s a contact ring. I’m giving it to you just in case.’

“The poor girl is just like her friend, right? I gave him a contact ring because I thought he might do something strange.”

This is one of the small items I bought when I visited an auction house a while back.

It was just a miscellaneous item in the game, but I kept it because it seemed like it would be quite useful in real life.

Since the magic circle inside is small, it may not be possible to have a conversation like a crystal ball, but it will be enough to communicate when things seem to be dangerous.

“Young-ae is worried about me…”

Faby carefully grabbed the ring I gave her with both hands, bowed her head once, and smiled brighter than ever.

“Thank you so much! I will cherish it!”

No, there’s no need to cherish it, right? It’s not expensive enough for that.

“Lucy. Lucy.”

I was rather embarrassed by the sight of Faby, whom I liked so much, when Frey came up next to me and pulled on my sleeve.

“Am I?”

…you? why are you

“I’m an idiot. A lot of accidents happen. You should be worried.”

So you’re jealous that you only give gifts to Fabi, right?

Hmm. There’s a present in my inventory right now that I bought for Frey’s birthday.

Other than that, there are also things he might like.

I think he would smile brightly if I gave him one of the most appropriate items, but if I just gave him something, it wouldn’t be fun, right?

‘Do you want to receive a gift like that?’

“What is it? Stupid prosecutor. Do you want to receive a gift like that? Haha. Umm. What should I do? I’m worried.”

“Yes! I really want to receive it.”

‘no, I do not want. I won’t give it to you.’

“But I don’t like it. I will never give it to you.”

“You won’t give it to me? You’re not giving it to me?”

…what? Why are his eyes moist?

no.

no. no. for a moment.

I didn’t mean to make you cry, did you?

I was just thinking of having a little fun.

“Sniff.”

Argh! Just wait a moment!

ruler. Frey. Here’s a gift for you.

Yes, it is an item that can be used to decorate the handle of a sword.

There will be no problem since Porcell also advised that there would be no problem when swinging the sword.

“…Gift.”

Frey smiled brightly, as if his earlier crying was a lie. He took my gift as if he had stolen it, put it on his sword, and looked at him with a grin.

Haha. I was trying to make fun of Frey, but it felt like I was making fun of him.

I like it, so I wonder what it’s like.

“Joy. Why is it quiet? I thought you would intervene over there.”

“I already received a gift a while ago. It’s the leisure of a first friend.”

“…huh. That’s right.”

*

Aln Estate.

It is the border of the Kingdom of Soladin and one of the places bordering the Tersha Empire, an arrogant country that calls itself an empire.

The land, where war had continued for several years after the Tersha Empire declared invasion decades ago, had recovered to the point where it was difficult to find traces of the war.

Arriving at the city where the Aln family resided at Lucy’s invitation, Arthur was once again filled with respect for Benedick Aln as he looked at the faces of the people full of energy.

The reason people can smile without even the slightest anxiety despite experiencing war is probably because Lord Benedict stays in this city.

Everyone is forgetting their worries because the knight of knights who single-handedly changed the course of the war is here.

I am truly touched. I can’t believe I got training from his family.

Ever since I saw him fighting against the dragon in the past, I have never forgotten my respect and admiration for him.

The reason I first picked up a sword was because I wanted to follow in his footsteps. As long as you hold the sword, the respect you have for yourself will not diminish one bit.

…Of course, many of the things he showed while staying by Lucy Alln’s side were, to put it bluntly, quite ugly.

If we interpret it positively, wouldn’t that also be a human charm?

Arthur, who was thinking back to how he would smile brightly next to Lucy Aln, then cry, then hold on to his daughter’s feet and pray, shook his head and tried to forget those ugly memories.

“Ugh. Finally, this day has come.”

Meanwhile, Joey, who was staying next to him, was making grumbling noises all the time.

Just as he had been doing until now, he was caught up in Lucy’s scheme and participated in the training of the Arlen Knights.

Arthur tried to comfort her at first, but he was getting fed up with it. He lowered one of his eyebrows when he saw Joey’s slumped shoulders.

“If you get to this point, give up and make up your mind. Haven’t you already asked Duke Patran’s permission?”

“Still, I hate what I don’t like.”

The three people who decided to receive training from the Knights of Arn had to go out for quite a long time.

Even though Arthur is a mere prince, Joy and Frey are respected people in each family.

How could it be possible for these people to leave for almost a month as they please?

So Joey placed his last hope on his father.

I really wanted to do it, but I hoped that my father would say that he didn’t allow it.

Unfortunately, Duke Patran only expressed his admiration for Joy’s story about wanting to train in the Arn Knights and did not dissuade her.

‘I can’t believe I’m going to experience that hell. My daughter has now become an adult.’

hell. That one word uttered by Duke Patran with an expression of boredom confirmed that many of the stories Lucy had previously told were true.

“I’m not a person who admires knights like others.”

“It’s okay. Lady Patran. The harder it is, the stronger you will become.”

“Lady of Kent. I’ll say it again, I don’t want to become that strong.”

“Lucy might be of help.”

“…Ugh.”

Not long after Frey dismissed Joy’s complaint with a straight argument, the Arlen family appeared.

The first person to welcome the three people at the place, which had a simple feel for the famous Margrave’s mansion, was a man who introduced himself as the leader of the Knights of Arn.

It is called “pocell. He is a lucky man who got his current position thanks to the grace of the head of the family.”

“…is that Lord Porcell? During the war, he charged in alone and tore through the middle of the enemy’s ranks?!”

“This was possible because the opponent’s army was weak. It’s really shameful that the story is being exaggerated.”

After Arthur, who had been excitedly telling Porcell various things regardless of whether or not the other two gave him a look of disgust, calmed down, the three followed Porcell’s guidance and met Benedick.

He was processing a pile of documents at a desk that seemed small for his size, and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw the faces of the three people.

“Welcome! Lady Patran! Lady Kent! And the 3rd prince!”

The fear of being called the Fang of the Kingdom in the past did not exist in the face of Benedick, who was in tears as he said that he did not know that his daughter would have a friend.

Nevertheless, Arthur knew that Benedick had not declined.

You can feel it because you have trained for a long time and developed your strength.

Overwhelming strength with no end in sight. I can’t believe this person has declined.

It reminds me how ignorant the idiots in the palace are of the outside world.

Even as Arthur raised his respect for Benedick, Benedick was particularly cold to Arthur.

Although he treats Joey and Frey kindly, he keeps his distance from Arthur.

Arthur, who was quick-witted, roughly guessed what that attitude meant.

You probably think I’m interested in Lucy Alln.

I want to shout out that it’s not like that right now, but I can’t because I feel like Sir Benedick, who is so soft on his daughter, will ask why he doesn’t like her and press me to do it.

Haha. What can I do? For now, let’s just pretend we don’t know anything.

It just gets annoying to mention it for no reason.

“I hope you gain a lot from this training.”

With those words, the three people left the office and were each shown the room they would use during training. After changing their clothes, they went out to the training ground of the Arn Knights.

“The training ground is quiet.”

Let alone the knight, you can’t even see the face of a single soldier. Are you considering our coming?

The person who answered Arthur’s question was Porcell, who was pulling a cart.

“I am visiting the territory to improve my physical strength. You will be back soon.”

“…for a moment. Did you just say that you were circling the entire border?”

“Haha. No way.”

“Right?”

“Then I would have to just run for a few days, which would be too much for a warm-up. During training, I just walk a few laps around this area.”

“…What?”

What I’m saying right now sounds like if you really have to do it, you can do it.

While Arthur was frozen by a story that was so far from common sense, Frey and Joey appeared next.

“Stir. Lord Porcell. Where is Lady Aln?”

“You are training with other knights. Just a little while. ah. It’s coming over there. The lady will be in the back row.”

Arthur turned his head to follow Porcell’s gaze and muttered to himself when he saw the ranks of knights.

“Why does the earth shake every time a person steps on it?”

“This is because a magic tool that increases weight was used. It’s comfortable to think that everyone is carrying a horse on their shoulders.”

“…But that speed?”

“Haha. It’s inherently faster. Everyone is tired now and it’s slowed down.”

Arthur, who was reflecting on the thought that this was not normal, suddenly realized that what was stuffed into the knights’ arms and legs was similar to what was just brought in the cart.

“Lord Porcell. I’m asking just in case, but what’s in the cart.”

“That’s right. Because you need to warm up before proper training. ruler. Please take it”

“…Turn it off?!”

The moment he received the magic tool that Porcell held out, Arthur stumbled under the weight, which was much more than he had expected.
