Rasha, who packed all kinds of things in her subspace pockets because she was not welcome no matter where she went, dried herself and changed into different clothes.

I gave up on chasing the old man out. Rasha, who had been bothered by the old man for a long time, knew very well that he was not the kind of person who would listen to what people were saying.

Instead of wasting your energy unnecessarily, it would be better to quickly fulfill the old man’s wishes and drive him out. Rasha had made up her mind, but she couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable with the old man humming next to her.

“What on earth is this island that a big man like you rushed to?”

The old man grins at the question he asks while trying to suppress his discomfort.

“There is a miracle left behind by the Lord himself.”

“Ah. As expected.”

Has this person changed anything even after ascending to the position of Pope? Well, he is such a crazy person that he rose to the position of Pope.

“But he’s an old man. Can we take a quick look around the city before entering the dungeon? There’s someone I’m looking for.”

“If you are looking for Heishan, who recently reached A-level adventurer status, he is not here right now.”

“…Really?”

“A group said to have been taken by a noble from the Kingdom of Soladdin. Since he is a talented person, he must be of some use.”

“Ha. Damn it.”

I arrived at the archipelago after swimming like crazy, but instead of meeting the person I wanted, I only ended up in trouble. I don’t know who took Heishan, but just hope he gets caught. I’ll ruin it.

“Go straight to the dungeon. When I’m done, I’ll take you on a boat.”

Rasha was worried after listening to the old man’s words. What’s better, being in the same boat as this disgusting human or swimming back to the continent?

The conclusion was immediate. No matter how strong Rasha was, the experience of crossing the sea was a terrible experience.

“A miracle remains in such a shabby place?”

Rasha, who was examining the crypt, which would not be surprised if it collapsed at any time, tilted her head. No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like there were any birds living here, let alone miracles.

“Take a look.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“Just try it. I can tell.”

Rasha was skeptical, but willingly followed the old man’s words. And then something unknown stopped me.

“What is this.”

“It’s one of the miracles of the past. An unqualified person can never go beyond this.”

Rasha let out a laugh at the old man’s tone of pride.

“Old man’s house. Can I go in?”

“ho. I can’t believe you made a weak noise first. Are you not confident in breaking it?”

“No. Chew. Of course you can destroy it. But then you won’t be flying away in the crypt.”

Although Rasha loved fighting against the strong, she was reluctant to oppose the old man. The moment you earn the old man’s hatred, what will happen will not be a fight but a hunt.

She imagined herself dying miserably without achieving any happiness, and scratched her scaly skin.

“That level of force control…“

“That’s it. Anyway, I brought him here because there was a way. Just open it.”

“Hehe. It’s so hasty. You must also know how to look closely at the beauty of miracles.”

“Isn’t this something you should say to the apostle of the evil god?”

“Even the apostle of the evil god doesn’t have eyes.”

“Ahh! Really!”

When Rasha screamed in disgust, the old man chuckled.

“I understand. Stop playing around.”

“The idiots in the church should have seen this.”

The old man approaches the barrier, leaving Rasha’s muttering behind, and touches the barrier with his divinity.

Contained within the barrier is a miracle that was realized during the war between the evil and good gods. Something that modern clergy cannot even dare to understand its structure.

However, for the old man, all those words were an exception. Because he was one of the few survivors from the Age of Myth.

“Hiya. It’s really disgusting every time I see it.”

“That’s gross. The skill I just showed you.”

“Ah. Fuck. it’s okay. Don’t explain.”

“No. That can’t be possible. I have a duty to preach the miracles of God.”

“Please. Sorry. Because I was wrong.”

“Listen carefully. This is…”

The old man continued his explanation even while Rasha was talking all kinds of nonsense, proving to the world that only an even more crazy person can beat a crazy person.

Rasha, who was exhausted from the voice that was stuck in her ears even though she didn’t want to hear it, jumped up when she saw the barrier flutter and disappear.

“Now! Let’s go inside quickly! Old man, you came for that too!”

“Hmm? No, it’s okay. I need to explain more to you.”

“Ahh! I can not hear you! I can not hear you! Anyway, I’m going in first!”

The old man, who was laughing as he watched Rasha stride into the crypt, slowly got up and followed her.

“What is it? this? Isn’t this an ordinary dungeon?”

Rasha, who entered the crypt first, tilted her head when she saw the entrance to the dungeon. A normal dungeon tends to give off an ominous vibe right from the entrance. Since all dungeons in this world are based on evil spirits, it has to be that way.

However, it was not this dungeon. A faint divinity was felt at the entrance to the dungeon in the crypt. This is the divinity that Rasha once felt while dealing with Lucy.

“Ohhh!”

The old man who followed him late seemed to have sensed him as well, looking at the entrance to the dungeon with a look of joy on his face.

“As expected, my senses were not wrong! This place has definitely been prepared by the Lord!”

“Okay. It does seem like that.”

“Now! Rasha! Come on in! Shouldn’t we keep in mind what will be at the end of this!”

“Huh? hey! Grandpa! Wait a minute! If you go in front, you’ll be in trouble! ah! Damn it!”

Although Rasha grumbled a lot, she wasn’t worried about anything going wrong.

With Rasha, a strong man with no rivals on the current continent, and an old man who is the current Pope, is there a dungeon that cannot be conquered?

“…Wow. Fuck. Really.”

Rasha realized that her thoughts were arrogant when she had almost died about ten times since entering the dungeon.

Rasha, who saw that her arm, which had been blown off while blocking a magic trap, was restored by the old man’s magic, opened and opened her hand and opened her mouth.

“Hey. Old man. Aren’t you mistaken? Is this really where Jushin left something?”

Normally, he would be an old man who would call him cruel, but right now he couldn’t bear to refute Rasha’s criticism.

Even in his own opinion, this dungeon was filled with unimaginably vicious malice, as it was a place where the main god had arranged something.

“The depth of the large dungeon is not this terrible?”

“I know too.”

“It is impossible to move forward any further. Because it would be faster to search through the dungeon than to see the end.”

The old man expressed his agreement with Rasha’s words by smiling bitterly.

Although I only walked for an hour, I faced countless threats of death. Meanwhile, I couldn’t even properly explore the dungeon. Attacking right now is impossible.

“Go back. I think I missed something.”

“Phew. thank god. If we had let go, I was seriously planning to rush in.”

“I may be crazy, but I am not crazy enough to throw away my life senselessly.”

The old man looked beyond the dungeon with lingering eyes, but then turned his head away.

I’ve lived enough to live, so I’m not afraid of death. My life is not meaningless enough to be thrown away in a worthless place.

“Move. Because I have to go out on a boat before nightfall.”

As the old man went back the way he came, Rasha stretched and followed him.

The hellish road that took an hour to get there only took a few minutes to get back.

The next day after returning to the Aln family from the archipelago. Snow was falling from the gray sky.

“Damn. If it’s going to snow, it’ll be so bad that we won’t be able to train.

“…If I had better skills, I would have intentionally created a storm.”

“3Prince! Lady Patran! Don’t complain about just doing what you did one day! While you were resting, I was staying in this hell!”

It was the jackal who welcomed our return more than anyone else. As he was abandoned by the knights and continued training, his eyes were full of venom.

“And do you think that the Arn Knights will get through their training with barely a blizzard?!”

“What kind of crazy talk are you talking about? Even intense training has its limits.”

“That’s right. If the weather gets worse, there is a possibility of an accident.”

Arthur and Joey looked at me while making extremely common sense remarks. As if asking them to quickly agree to their words.

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to add strength to the jackal’s words, not the words of the two people. Because the Arn Knights were a place where the common sense of the general public did not apply.

“Usually he is an inferior Confucius who only says idiotic things, but this time he is right. The stone-headed knights of Aln don’t know the word rest.”

Talking about this reminds me of what happened during the midterm exam. It was truly terrifying when I participated in the knights’ training that continued despite the storm. When I was caught in the wind and my body floated, I thought I was really reincarnated in another world.

The two people who saw my laughter realized that the jackal’s words were not a joke, and their faces turned pale.

“Joy. Can you use magic to repel a blizzard?”

“If that were possible, I would have already entered the Magic Tower instead of being an academy student.”

“…Yes, but. shit. Is there no other way than to pray?”

I fiddled with my necklace while listening to the two people who had changed their words and started praying that the snowstorm would not hit.

In a few days, the anniversary of Lucy’s mother Mira’s death comes.

Last year I couldn’t take care of it because I didn’t know anything, but not this time.

After looking into Lucy’s past and seeing how much Mira loved her, I decided to visit her grave.

Although I had doubts about whether it was right for me to visit the tomb now, the pang in my heart whenever I thought of Mira’s tomb made it impossible for me to ignore the anniversary of her death.

‘Welcome. Lucy. ‘I was waiting.’

‘It’s okay. Someday, someone who will understand your true feelings will come by your side.’

‘It’s because everyone doesn’t know how kind you are. ‘I don’t hate you on purpose.’

‘Lucy. are you okay. ‘Because this mother will always be by your side.’

‘Lucy. ‘My daughter.’

As I felt increasingly depressed amidst the flood of memories of various misfortunes, I remembered that I was not alone and hurriedly came out of my daydream.

“What is it? Why is everyone having strange eyes? Does imagining rolling around in a blizzard make you cry? Haha. All I can do is laugh. It’s pitiful.”

The gazes of those around me were subtle, so I tried to smile as I had trained, but the complicated looks in my friends’ eyes did not change.

I was uncomfortable with those stares, so I quickly got up from my seat and left the restaurant.
