49. The End of a Peaceful Daily Life (3)

” So is it really true that you are Yoo Ji-seong’s younger sister? ”

After coming down from the stage where he had been suddenly called up, Pedro kept repeating those words.

” That’s right!? Do you know how many times I’ve asked that? ”

” Oh, so… ”

” Sigh… I don’t need to count, so can you stop now? ”

As if he thought I was angry, Pedro bowed his head and apologized, and Ara patted Pedro on the back.

” Hey, you should have told me in advance, right? Why did you have to kill the baby? ”

” Oh, no. That’s not what I meant… ”

Seeing Ara taking care of her boyfriend, I could now understand how Yeonseo felt about me.

” Haa… I’m sorry, Pedro. I didn’t mean to get mad… ”

” Oh, no. I’m usually a talkative person. Haha… ”

” What, you want to apologize… Instead, why don’t you go see me? ”

” Yes? ”

” So come on… Ahem, don’t you want to meet Mr. Yoo Ji-seong? ”

When I asked if he wanted to meet his brother, Pedro, who had been slumping with his shoulders down and looking sullen, suddenly raised his head and started approaching me.

” Really?! Can we really meet?! ”

Pushing Pedro away from his face and grabbing his shoulder

” Okay, calm down for a second. Pedro. ”

” Ah! I’m sorry… haha… When I think about meeting the person I’ve always admired… my body just… ”

” I’m fine. But, the other two don’t seem to be like that? ”

At those words, Pedro felt the hot gazes of Hyunseok and Ara watching from behind, so he bowed at a right angle and apologized to the two.

‘ Phew, last time it was just Hyunseok, but now even Ara is here… ‘

So, having saved Pedro’s life, I used the device to ask my brother if I could go meet him with the group, and he said it was okay.

” Okay, everyone, let’s go instead of just standing there. ”

On the way to my brother, Pedro started asking me about my family and Ara also listened to the story that he heard for the first time and started asking me questions when he had any questions. Before we knew it, we had arrived at my brother’s room.

*****

Knock on the door of the room where your brother is, making a ‘knock, knock’ sound.

” Brother. Can I come in? ”

” Huh? Oh, yeah. Come in. ”

I heard my brother’s voice, which seemed flustered, but he told me to come in, so I thought there would be no problem and opened the door.

” Hey? Your sister was here too? ”

My sister, who was in a wheelchair, was next to my brother. It seemed like they were talking to each other.

” Yeah. What about the two next to them? ”

” Ah, this is Kangara, and that’s Pedro. They’re both friends from Mokdong and Seonyudo. ”

After my introduction, the two greeted my older sister and brother, and when my brother told them to sit down, they all sat down on the sofa.

My sister, who was in a wheelchair, said she would bring me something to drink, so I said I would, but she said that this was also rehabilitation training that required moving the body, and left.

” So… why did you ask to meet? ”

” Huh? Oh, that’s right. I’m going to leave Cerberus to Ara. ”

” You mean that fucking puppy? ”

When my brother called Cerberus a fucking puppy, a voice suddenly shouted, “Wow~!” from outside.

” Brother, I told you not to say that. Our Cerberus has such good ears. ”

” Haa… Okay. So why are you leaving it with me? Since you’re the owner, it’s better for you to keep it anyway. ”

” Of course. ”

” Then why… ”

” There is no one in the Mokdong settlement who can fight properly right now. ”

” Ah~ That story? ”

” Ara here is the one who uses her abilities freely there. Normally, Uncle Doosik would be there to help… ”

” Still… I don’t know anything about the old man’s whereabouts. ”

” Yeah. So I’m going to send Cerberus to help. Of course, I’ll come see you sometimes too. ”

” Okay. Then what about that friend from Seonyudo? What are you going to do for that kid? ”

Pedro was coughing as if he had swallowed the water his sister had given him by mistake when he heard his brother suddenly mention it to him.

” Ah~ Pedro… is my brother’s fan. ”

” Fan…? ”

” Yeah. ”

My brother looked at me as if he was wondering what on earth I was talking about, but I ignored his gaze and just drank the water my sister gave me.

And soon after, Pedro, whose cough had stopped, got up, approached his brother, extended his hand and asked to shake it.

” Ma, nice to meet you! My name is Pedro from Seonyudo! I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time! ”

” Oh, yeah. Okay. ”

Pedro, holding his brother’s hand, had an incredibly happy expression on his face as if he had achieved one of his wishes. His brother was flustered by the sudden appearance of a fan, but soon he smiled and continued talking to Pedro as he felt better after hearing Pedro’s story about himself.

” Sister. Are you uncomfortable or anything? ”

” It’s okay. When I woke up this morning, I felt a little more feeling in my legs, so I think I’ll be able to walk around soon. ”

” Yeah… that’s fortunate. ”

” Are those three people really family…? ”

My sister laughed at Ara’s sudden question to her siblings.

” Right. ”

” Then… Charlotte… Unnie… No, Unnie Jisoo? ”

I told Ara, who was confused about what to call my name, that it didn’t matter which way to call me.

” Then, as Sister Charlotte… So… ”

” Jia. My name is Yujia. So you’re… Kang Ara, right? ”

” Yes. Oh, how did you know my name… Oh, did Sister Charlotte tell you? ”

At Ara’s question, her older sister waved her hand and smiled, then said the name of Ara’s father, Mr. Kang Han-cheol.

” How much did Mr. Hancheol brag about his daughter… That was you? Oh, even now, I was in charge of providing information and exchanges related to the settlement. ”

” Oh, I see. Ugh… Why is Dad like that… ”

” Well, that’s what it’s like to have a father with a daughter. ”

In this way, the men and the women were having a good time talking among themselves.

Yes, I had such a great time and it seemed like today would be another peaceful day.

Until I heard that ‘sound’.

Suddenly, there was a ‘bang!’ sound outside, and smoke from an explosion began to appear.

It seemed like it was a pretty big explosion, because we could feel a slight vibration all the way to where we were.

” Brother…! ”

” Haa… Seriously, why on such a nice day… ”

” Pedro and… Ara are stuck to their older sister. ”

” Ha, but us too…! ”

Pedro said he would follow too, but I shook my head

” My sister is not feeling well as you can see. Since it’s you two, I can trust you and leave it to you. And… you came here to play. If something happens, I won’t be able to face Uncle Bin or Uncle Hancheol. Do you understand? ”

” Oh, I got it. ”

” Yeah. Leave Sister Jia to us. Sister. ”

I smiled at them both and snapped my fingers.

Until now… I’ve been sending divine power to Rosario, but now I don’t need to do that.

Unlike before, she was wearing armor with a slightly longer skirt, and her long hair was now tied into a ponytail.

‘Well, this might be convenient for moving around.’

” Then… I’ll go. All three of you, if anything comes up, contact me. Okay? ”

” Don’t worry. These two will protect me and there are others too. ”

Instead of the two nodding, my older sister spoke to me to reassure me, and I nodded my head and opened a portal close to where the black smoke from the explosion was visible with a ‘bang! ‘ sound.

*****

” Gyaaaah! ”

” Everyone come inside quickly!!! ”

” Damn it, why are they here…? Those guys…! ”

As we emerged from the portal, the festival that many people had been enjoying had turned into a cauldron of chaos, and from where the smoke was rising, strange robed men were running towards us.

The ‘Tower’s Symbol’ visible on the robes they wear, strangely mutated.

Because of that, I could tell that they were… Oh Hyuk-jin and… guys connected to Thanatos.

” Everyone will listen quickly to what my brother says, so Hyunseok and I will take care of those guys. ”

” Okay. ”

My brother used his psychic powers to block the path of the approaching guys and told them to run away as he said, leading them to escape. The number of people helping my brother evacuate people increased.

” Charlotte, I’ll go upstairs and look around a bit more. ”

” Yeah. Then… Cerberus! ”

A wolf wrapped in pure white flames runs towards me from afar at my call, barking at the guys.

” Wow! ”

” Cerberus. Help him… ”

” We’re strong with Cerberus. Let’s go! ”

” King! ”

The two then left to check if there were any other threats around.

There is probably nothing here that would trouble him, the Apostle of the Goddess, and Cerberus, the servant of the Goddess.

If there is one, it would be Oh Hyuk-jin, who became the apostle of Thanatos, and Thanatos himself.

[ Then, I will judge your sins here . ]

I took out [Twin Swords. Hauteclair.], emitting a pure white light, and ran towards them.

As the red tail showed and the red flash passed between the guys, there were no more people wearing robes with the ‘Tower’s Symbol’ on them.

There is only ‘pure white ash’ left after being burned.
