“Ugh… ”

“Now, now. First, calm down… ”

Rung and Angela comfort the still sobbing Graven.

Tangaroa stretched and muttered.

“Oh my. If you lose, you should get out quickly. You ruined the atmosphere by dragging your feet here.”

“Don’t do that too much.”

“Shouldn’t we celebrate the winners, not comfort the losers?

They tell me to go out and get some consolation from my friends.”

It is a cold but at the same time perfectly correct opinion.

Cleo looked for the winner, Kyowoon-guk, to deliver the prize.

But he was nowhere to be seen.

“Miss Cleo!”

“Hwayoung?”

Gyo Hwa-young goes down to the main auditorium and comes running in a huff.

“I’ve searched, but I can’t find Unguk.”

“Yes?”

“Oops, looks like he left.”

Lilac sighed.

“Well, the atmosphere must have been awkward.

You’re the one who won, but everyone is only interested in Graven.”

“Well… Unguk isn’t that shy… ”

“Now that I think about it, why hasn’t Coleman come yet?

It was almost 3 hours ago that I sent a message saying I would be late.”

At Tangaroa’s point, Lilac looked at her watch.

In the news delivered by the messenger, there was no mention of when it would arrive or why it would be late.

Hmm. This is not polite to treat your girlfriend.

“Furthermore, there is no contact from President Priestley either.

Although I can’t watch from beginning to end, I promised to stop by.”

Abnormal situations pouring in.

The chairman took a deep breath and began directing traffic.

“Cleo, Tangaroa. You guys take care of organizing the ceremony.”

“But until I find Mr. Unguk… ”

“Graven and Unguk are just representatives of the two forces, right?

If you think about it, the main characters are not those two people, but all the students who participated in the uproar and cried and laughed for two and a half months.”

Originally, it would have been right for him, the nominal representative, to take on this task…

“Hwayoung. You should go to the Kuroshio Dormitory with me.

Please check the Kyowoonguk room with Coleman.”

“Yes!”

An ominous feeling welled up in Lilac’s stomach.

Why do I feel this way?

It feels like something, something is happening…

“Master Saraljit.”

“Ah. Chairman Lilac.”

After sending Hwayoung up, Lilac summoned Saraljit from the supervisor’s office.

“Have you ever seen Coleman and Kyoonguk?”

“Then. It was heading south about 30 minutes ago.”

“Two of us?”

“Okay.”

Instead of being congratulated, Kyowoonguk returned to the Kuroshio Dormitory, and Coleman followed him?

The most hopeful guess is that Coleman took Woon-guk out to comfort him, who was upset because attention was focused on Graven…

no. nonsense. then…

“Chairman!”

Gyo Hwa-yeong runs down the stairs.

“Uh. Hwayoung. They said the two of them have already left.”

“That’s not it… There was a strange book in Mr. Coleman’s room.

Aeorid Chronicles, author Park Ji-hye.”

She handed Lilac a book, but the letters were unknown to Lilac.

“Is it a book written in Bakdalguk letters?

Did the Gyounguk leave it behind? ”

“I took a quick look… I think President Priestley’s name appears in this book.”

“What?”

An ominous feeling that grows stronger.

Lilac thanked Saraljit and then took Kyo Hwayoung outside.

“Read that part.”

“Cove looked at the night sky for a long time, as if he was embarrassed.

This was the first time I knew he had this side.”

“Me? Who is ‘me’ here?”

“Wait a minute… ”

Hwayoung, who was looking through the book, snapped her fingers as if she had found it.

“Athena Melon.”

Mother’s name.

Lilac’s heart stopped at those words.

“Chairman?”

Who wrote it?

It is said to have been written by an imperialist, but it is written in Bakdal-guk script, and Park Dal-in has no reason to write his mother’s love story.

If so, then it couldn’t have been what Coleman said…

“Chairman.”

This world was a novel in my past life.

I believed what he said, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Because I thought it was a story that had nothing to do with the reality we live in.

but…

no. Let’s think realistically. This is a book written by someone in real life.

And there is only one person who can provide information for this novel.

“Hwayoung.”

“Yes.”

“Is Cobb Priestley at the Romelo office now?”

“That… I guess so?”

“Let’s go quickly. I need to get an explanation from that person.”

————————————————– ——

“Colman Cantor. You make this world a card battle… No, it’s my apostle who will be transformed into a miniature battle piece.”

Athena’s words echoed through the president’s office.

“… ”

As I remained speechless, Milton came over and tapped me on the shoulder.

“Isn’t it glorious? To become a key player in rewriting the world.”

“No, just for now.”

I extended my palm and gestured for him to stop.

“There is no trust relationship between you and me right now, right?

They kidnapped Lilac last summer and put her in such danger to test me-”

“I’m sorry about that. Originally, Rosewater would have been under our control.

However, due to Russell Corvus’ intervention-”

“No, why do I have to be tested in the first place?

You made a good game and were playing it!”

“Didn’t Milton say that?”

Athena opened her mouth.

“It’s a matter of qualifications to stand by Lilac’s side.

Do you really cherish Lilac, and can you protect my daughter in the new world that will open in the future?”

“Ah, are you going to pretend to be a foolish mother this time?”

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

“Let’s stop talking nonsense!

If lilac was so precious, why has it never shown its face in the past 10 years?”

“If it is known that I am alive-”

“Using Milton to secretly contact them, or even using his powers to make Lilac escape!

There wouldn’t have been a way like that! But you didn’t do it!”

I caught my breath.

“If you used my power or Milton’s power-”

“Yes. Their plans for miniature battles around the world must have been delayed or disrupted.

Then say so. Now stop pretending you care about lilac.”

Athena finally got angry at my words and raised her voice.

“I just have different priorities, but I have never stopped loving lilac!”

“Love? Parents who love their daughters try to erase her memories?”

“That’s-”

“You were trying to heal your daughter’s wounds? Is that the solution you came up with after 10 years of neglect?

Now I know roughly what kind of parent you are, or rather what kind of creator you are.

You are no different from a potter who destroys pottery he doesn’t like and creates new pottery.”

After that, neither of us said anything.

It was Milton who broke the silence.

“How about asking the person concerned?”

“Party?”

In response to my question, Milton snapped his fingers.

An illusion where the moon’s magic becomes tangled and becomes manifest.

What it contains-

“Lilac?”

“Kyohwayeong?”

————————————————– ————

“Woon Guk. Why are you here?”

“This is this, how do you know about this place… ”

“Traffic Bureau.”

The main gate of the Priestley Wonders branch.

Lilac glared at Kyoyoonguk and spoke firmly.

“There are so many things I want to ask you.

First, where is Cantor Coleman?

Second, did you bring the book The Chronicles of Aeorid?

Third, why are you in front of Governor Priestley?”

“That’s a good choice of question. To answer in order…

In here, yes, to stop you.”

With a flash of light, a light sword of solar magic appeared in Lilac’s hand.

“Who are you?”

“Woon Guk. Why are you like this? What’s wrong… ”

“Excuse me, but I was a little upset about that.”

Unguk narrowed his eyes.

“Our God’s plan requires prophets… Do we need a saint?

Rather, aren’t you closer to a prostitute who blinds the eyes of God and the prophets and leads them astray…? ”

“What?”

“Please prove it. That we deserve to be a part of God’s plan.”

Lilac looked at Kyo Hwa-young as if she were dumbfounded, but she shook her head as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.

“I will come out with strength, right?

good. Then-”

The moment she leapt and swung her lightsaber, Kyowoonguk snapped his fingers.

A small cube sprouts from the fingertips, instantly expanding and unfolding.

A gray subspace swallowing three people.

“Chairman. My order doesn’t go out… ”

“Too!”

The lightsaber went out, but Lilac did not give in and threw a kick.

However, even though Kyowoonguk did not blink an eye, the attack bounced back as if it was blocked by an invisible, transparent curtain.

“Qu… ”

A huge force field table that unfolds while making a clicking sound.

And the voice that comes.

“Both players choose a price.”

“Life… I want to bet, but I don’t think God will allow it…

Like we did before, shall we put two years worth of memories on the line?”

A clear leash connects the lilac and the crocus, making a sound.

“… This is what Coleman did with Rose… ”

“It is much improved since then.

Let’s get started. A game of darkness.”
