Episode 50
The next day, we were ready to go.
The purpose of saving the World Tree was also accomplished, so there was no need for more.
“Thank you, Agent.”
Jihad said that and smiled broadly at me.
“I can’t be with you right now because I have to take care of the World Tree, but I want to help the acting manager someday.”
“Soon?”
Well, until then, I’ll have to diligently take care of the world tree.
Jihad grows big.
That much you can be sure of.
It will definitely be a good power.
“Of course, in order to do that, at least the Spirit King would have to succeed in the contract.”
“The Spirit King…”
Jihad said right away.
“Let’s try it.”
“Of course, archery will have to be much more developed than it is now. It wasn’t bad to pierce the remnants, but the proficiency seems to be lacking yet.”
“I will try that too.”
Jihad smiled brightly.
“If the agent wants it, it must be so.”
“Hmm.”
Even with a sad face, I knew that jihad would grow that way.
So, in the end, I laughed.
“Then try your best.”
“Yes, I will.”
Jihad’s eyes lit up.
It was completely different from the melancholic appearance he had sometimes shown before returning, so he was happy with just that appearance.
But that was then.
“Agent, do you intend to become a hero?”
Jihad asked cautiously.
“I’m thinking of doing that for now.”
“I think it suits you. A hero is one who seeks.”
They said that I, who saved them, was worthy of being a hero.
Jihad said so.
“But if you go to Kyoguk, you’d better be careful.”
“It’s good to be careful.”
“Not all of the Churches are like that, but they once turned the world into a battlefield with false prophecies. We elves also locked ourselves in the fairy forest because of it.”
prophecy war.
Of course I know.
The Church once wielded prophecy as a weapon, and everyone lost faith because of it.
The prophecy has lost its power.
Humanity ceased to unite.
‘In a way, you can say that everything went wrong because of that war… …You can’t miss it A representative example of how much
the world can be broken if humans abuse God’s will.
“If you’re the agent, there’s no way you’ll be swayed by them. It is right to be vigilant.”
“Hmm.”
In fact, Jihad’s concerns were right.
In fact, the Gyoguk tried to use the hero like their own words.
‘Oh damn, I remember it again.’
The war of nerves he fought with those old people before returning.
That bastard who threw shit while saying that Gyo-guk’s will was right, and me who ran around trying to somehow not go the way the old people thought… ….
The price of an indolent childhood was greater than I thought, and the old people did everything they could to become a force to be reckoned with.
Even thinking about it again makes my teeth tremble.
“That’s okay.”
I dismissed Jihad’s concerns.
“Because I’m well aware of how stubborn the nerds of Kyoguk are.”
“Then I’m glad.”
He nodded.
“No matter how they do it, I don’t think their cunning will work against the agent.”
“You have a pretty high opinion of me?”
“Didn’t you save us?”
Jihad said with a laugh.
“You also exterminated the monster that had plagued the World Tree for a long time. Aside from the grace we have received from you, we have firm faith in your ability.”
Saying that, Jihad’s eyes were filled with faith in me.
It is the same as before the return, but different.
“To be honest, I wonder if I can protect what the agent has given me…I have some doubts.”
“are you okay. You will do well.”
yes you will do well
At my words, he smiled bitterly.
“I hope so…As much as the responsibility is heavy, I don’t feel light at all.”
“Do you remember what I said?”
At my words, Jihad tilted his head and asked.
“If you said…”
“Don’t dig.”
A really simple story.
However, it was obvious that it wouldn’t reach properly after one or two attempts, so I decided to say it one more time.
“You don’t have to take responsibility alone. Anyway, it won’t change much just because you do what you do alone. I may have learned a little from this opportunity.”
“….”
The plague of jihad.
He was stuck in my past alone and couldn’t get out of it.
He saved countless people.
Although he moved constantly, if he was really saved.
‘That wasn’t the case again.’
We came to an end with nothing resolved.
Of course, it wasn’t only Jihad that there was a broken corner somewhere in the expedition led by this brave Igor.
In any case, regret is regret.
Now that I have returned to the past like this, I want to make sure that those regrettable things are resolved.
“…surely.”
“I don’t think you can change all at once. But always think about it.”
Of course, even if I don’t say anything, the world tree will lead jihad to the good side.
She is wise and a benevolent mother who has always protected the elves.
“Yes, I will.”
At my words, Jihad spoke as if he had promised himself.
“I will repeat in my heart what the agent said over and over again.”
“….”
I remembered what he had said.
-How could I forget?
Even after being driven to the end of the last, he made a fuss that he would somehow handle it alone.
you were fair
It was painful to watch.
He was the one who made me realize how painful it can be to watch.
haha.
do you really know
That was what I wanted to hear more than anything else from your mouth.
I don’t know you now
I wanted everyone to be happy.
Everyone together hoped that their efforts and sacrifices would be rewarded.
But the reality wasn’t as easy as I thought.
Broken and collapsed… ….
When I looked back, there was nothing left.
I saw the present after leaving the future that had already passed.
Certainly he is different now.
“Yeah, that’s it.”
will grow
Since your original foundation is upright, you will know how to move in the right direction.
No matter what anyone says, he wasn’t a colleague who worked hard to save the world with me.
He said it with such thoughts.
“I wish you blessings in your future.”
“I also wish for the blessing of the World Tree to the agent.”
Jihad and I looked at each other and laughed for a second.
parting for a while.
One will meet again.
Just like before returning.
* * *
The journey towards Gyoguk began again. Even if it was a journey, it wouldn’t take three days.
…whatever
“I’ve roughly finished my work.”
“Roughly…?”
Helen, who was listening to me, said in an absurd voice.
“Rescuing the World Tree and annihilating the remnants of the Demon Gods are far from the norm, no matter how you think about it.”
“No, that’s roughly correct.”
There will be much more than that in the future.
Even if it is a demon, it is only a remnant.
The World Tree was hiding a method, and I just didn’t miss it… ….
‘In other words, I couldn’t find a single means before returning, and that’s what happened.’
It’s not really even funny.
If I had been able to have a conversation with the World Tree even once, if I had known about the existence of a ‘eulogy’.
A lot might have changed.
Now that I think about it, it doesn’t make any sense.
“This time, it was possible thanks to the World Tree. Without her power, it would have been impossible to annihilate the remnants so cleanly.”
“I never even thought of putting a sword on it. damn it.”
Rian interrupted the conversation, scratching her head.
I threw a nag because such a guy was ridiculous.
“A guy who can’t even walk yet is already trying to fly. That’s very off topic.”
“that…”
“What you are dealing with is something that even your opponent cannot do with ordinary power. Of course, you can’t even strike a sword. In a head-to-head match, even the Master can’t guarantee a match.”
“…you did.”
Lian glared at me and spoke again.
“You destroyed it.”
“That’s because I prepared to annihilate him. Did you mobilize all kinds of means to do that while vomiting blood?”
“No, but the difference in human growth rate…“
That’s because I’m more talented than you.”
“Fuck.”
Lian grunted with a horribly distorted face.
But what do you mean?
If you twist it, where did you taste the 10th circle and return?
‘Of course, he’s also a genius when it comes to swordsmanship, something that only comes out once in a few hundred years.’
My starting point is different.
Then suddenly Helen spoke.
“To be honest, I’m starting to seriously wonder what you really are.”
“The only son of Walpurgis.”
“You’re not asking that.”
She sighed and looked at Cassandra for a moment.
However, Cassandra just calmly observes the surroundings as if nothing had happened.
“The world tree or something. or drink To put it bluntly, they are mythological beings. Of course, dealing with them in general is close to impossible.”
[It’s a strange thing,]
Set said with a grin.
[Didn’t I also suspect that you were half-blood? I’m like that, but I’m afraid of humans.]
That’s right.
Walpurgis’ blood is special, but it can’t explain everything with just that.
“I’m curious too.”
Suddenly the butler intervened.
“To be honest, what should I even say, having served the young master close to me…. Do you mean that there are times when I am confused as to whether the young master I served is really right?”
“You’re talking bullshit again.”
“It’s bullshit! Any kind boy I know wouldn’t have left me in an elven prison. yes.”
“….”
He was indeed a butler with a long back.
“Well, in the old days, they wouldn’t even have given me food. I miss the old days.”
“I’m not going to say a word.”
The butler grumbled as if he didn’t like it, but what could he do? that my side is the top.
But I must speak.
I can’t live with these doubts forever.
It’s not enough to trust each other.
“Well, it’s time to tell.”
[Huh.]
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me, and the set also waited for my answer with curious eyes.
I slowly opened my mouth.
“I hear the voice of God.”
“It’s bullshit.”
“It’s bullshit.”
“It’s bullshit.”
Except for Cassandra, the three spoke at the same time. Then he turns his head as if he had no remorse.
“I don’t believe you.”
“of course. In an age when even the saints couldn’t hear the revelation, why did you hear the revelation?”
Lian snorted that he had heard something that wasn’t even funny.
No one else, but a wizard.
It was natural not to believe it.
Well, actually, I have nothing to say that is a lie.
but.
“Then ask the other way around. How ordinary are the things I have caused so far?”
“Uh, that…”
Lian was speechless, but didn’t answer anything.
Not only Lian, but also the paladin Helen.
The butler was the only one who asked back.
“Hmm, so…Are you saying that you really suddenly received a revelation from God one day?”
“Well, roughly.”
At my words, the three of them looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
But I don’t say anything more because I can’t think of anything to refute.
[…] …That’s right, it’s not wrong.]
Set smiled and went into a tirade as if he had lost interest.
But then.
“What revelation was it?”
Cassandra asked.
She stared at me with calm eyes, waiting for an answer.
Helen asked, looking at her.
“…Casa, do you believe this?”
“I decided to fully trust Mikhail. There is no reason not to believe it.”
I don’t know if Cassandra really believes me or if she’s just pretending… ….
There is no reason not to answer.
“I was told to eat.”
“…yes?”
She opened her eyes wide.
“Fuck the Holy Church.”
“What is that…”
Of course, I am not saying this without thinking.
I asked, looking straight at her.
“In your view, Cassandra, is the current Holy Church correct?”
“…!”
her eyes twitched.
Not only her, but Helen too, was clearly agitated.
“If it boils, it will rot. And unfortunately, the current Holy Church is too stagnant.”
“that…”
“So that’s what I’m talking about. Say in the name of God… …”
Raising the middle finger in the direction of Kyoguk in the distance.
“Fuck the Holy Church.”
“…You are not wrong.”
Helen, who had been listening quietly, said with a wry smile.
“It’s actually stagnant. It should flow in order not to rot, but it can’t.”
“Sir Helen.”
“I don’t know if God really came upon you or not, but I agree with you, fuck you.”
she looked at me
“So how are you going to fuck me?”
“How can you fuck me?”
I said with a grin.
“All you have to do is do what the old monsters in the kingdom hate the most.”
“If you don’t like…”
“Breaking the plate.”
The board that the old monsters of the Church of God must have put together.
i will break them
Great mage who transcends by regression
