Chapter 239. Hello God
2022.05.17.
Whether they make a fuss or not, Aidan didn’t let go of his arm around me.
‘Kuhm. I’m good… Aidan might be harassed by those humans.’
To make matters worse, I couldn’t let Aidan get stuck in his hatred at this time when he was about to leave for a long way. … Of course, it seemed already too late.
I smiled and put my hand on Aidan’s.
“don’t worry. you idiot.”
Aidan buried his face in my shoulder without answering.
It was the first time Aidan didn’t fall apart like this in front of others, so it felt strange.
Should I say it tickles me…
“Come to think of it, I was supposed to have a birthday party, but I forgot about it.”
I was supposed to throw Aidan’s birthday party, but I forgot about it because I was distracted. I patted Aidan’s arm as if to soothe him.
“What would you like to receive as a gift?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
It could not have been a very difficult condition. Seriously thinking about it, I was soon able to come up with a great birthday present.
I untied Aidan’s arms and held his hand, facing him.
Then he shouted proudly.
“Even if I can’t get a star, I can give you a Veron neck!”
“….”
“….”
For some reason, everyone is at a loss for words, and the person presenting the gift. Aidan nodded softly.
“I look forward to it.”
It was a very satisfactory answer.
Only then did Aidan let go of my hand.
“Then I will go for real!”
I bravely waved my hand and stepped into the pitch darkness.

.
As Mabel entered the rift, the entrance quickly disappeared.
The imperial treasury, which was full of relics, was empty. As if there was nothing from the beginning.
No one opened their mouths. I only stare at the spot where Mabel disappeared.
The first to step forward was Hwang Sangje Esteban.
“let’s go.”
Without hesitation, he climbed the stairs to the exit.
The wind blowing from the ground fluttered the hem of the cloak. Esteban declared to those who looked up at him.
“We must do our part.”
So that everything is ready when the Emperor returns.

‘Where am I?’
As soon as I stepped into the crack, I felt as if I was falling down a precipice.
After a tediously long time, I saw a light in front of my eyes. So, when I held the light in my hand, the sight that unfolded…
“The imperial garden? …Ermano?”
The flowers in bloom and the exterior of the building were different, but there was no way they could not recognize them.
Because it’s my home!
‘It’s been 500 years, but the layout of the building is the same. No, this is not where history and tradition are important.’
ok I touched my forehead.
I guess I made a huge mistake.
yes. Most of them were relics of the Ermano Empire. So, this is natural, but…
‘I was supposed to go to Devlin, but I came to Ermano…’
***
A tavern on the first floor of a lively inn.
The drunken people chatted and clinked their glasses.
braided-!
The tavern was noisy with cheerful sounds mixed with loud voices, so it was enough to drown out the sound of the doorbell ringing from a new customer.
It was by chance that a man witnessed a guest just entering.
He pointed a finger at the group with his eyes wide open.
“Hey, can you see? What fairy girl comes in alone?”
“fairy? It’s funny…it’s a fairy!”
She was truly a woman who could be called a fairy. A lovely woman with pale pink hair, with a delicate body and a calm expression.
It wasn’t long before I became an adult, so there was still a youthful T-shirt left.
A man poked his friend in the side and asked insinuatingly.
“Shall we talk?”
“Arthur. Just by looking at it, isn’t it the young lady of a runaway noble?”
“You came out without an escort?”
“So it’s a runaway.”
“Isn’t that better? When are you going to talk to the noble lady? If we’re lucky, we’ll spend the night together, too…”
He laughed and lifted his butt off the chair.
In the end, the man gained courage from his drunkenness and approached the woman who was just paying the lodging bill for the hostess.
“Hey, if you don’t mind, let’s have a drink together.”
It was at that moment when his fingertips lightly touched her shoulder.
“Kuuk!”
Suddenly, something hit me hard in the face. He rolled over and grabbed my face.
“What!”
“What is it? One who touched the jade body of this body without permission was defeated.”
Of course I won’t allow it either.
“This crazy woman!”
Where did the shy talking go, and the man rushed at her with a wrinkled expression.
‘You must have been lucky. How can you hit me with that thin arm that makes you want to hold a knife!’
It was because his pride was shattered at the thought of being beaten by a weak girl.
“Ouch!”
However, he was quickly knocked out by an invisible attack that could not be reached.
The bustling inn bar became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
“Bar Bilo!”
A friend hurriedly ran over and helped the fallen man. The man glared at the woman with his eyes wide open, but he couldn’t approach her and flinched.
The woman looked down on such a man and made fun of him.
“Are you scared? Come on!”
Touching.
A young woman with her lovely light pink hair tied up in a ponytail wiggled her fingers with a very bad expression.
Day 3 of the past trip.
‘I had an accident and woke up and lost my memory. I started a wandering mercenary life to make a living… but I was unexpectedly strong.’
It was exactly the third inn bar seal break.
***
After unpacking on the second floor, I sat down on the bed and let out a deep sigh.
“I expected it to be like this, but it’s really annoying.”
i’m bored to death
It’s only been 3 days, but I don’t know how many people I’ve dealt with so far.
Every time I threw a divine punch and scolded him, but I wasn’t satisfied.
‘Even if I wear a cape and hat, if I find out that I’m a woman, I’ll change my attitude right away.’
In that case, he came to the conclusion that it would be better to just expose it and lose it all.
Anyway, the place I arrived now was an inn in Devlin Capital.
After secretly escaping from the Ermano Imperial Castle, he was finally able to reach Devlin after moving while using a short-distance movement magic tool.
Devlin matched the situation Michael had previously described.
Right now, the Devlin Empire has only a large territory, but there is not much land that can be cultivated, so the national power was so poor that it was called a kingdom.
It was after the death of Julius III that Devlin began to rise in status. The most likely guess was that there would have been an incident related to Aidan and the taboo before and after that.
Suddenly, Yang Yi’s worrying warnings, which had been lined up until their ears were worn out, came to mind.
[Remember Mabel. The past that has already been decided cannot be changed. Even if you block it, Ades-sama will eventually fall and be bound by Devlin. So don’t do anything useless.]
[Return safely.]
Even if you change the past, what will happen will eventually happen…
It was said that there was nothing I could change.
“okay. As soon as we figure out how to lift the ban, let’s go back.”
To do so, information research was of the utmost importance.
After settling in, I traveled around the capital for two days, collecting stories from passers-by. Of course, I got a little help from my animal friends.
[Red eyes? I’ve seen it before.]
“Where?”
[Human you have. that bread. It looks good.]
“Squeaky, you guys don’t have much personality or pacing even 500 years ago…” When
I handed over the rye bread that was deliberately left visible, Squeaky blew on the information he knew.
The red-eyed man is imprisoned on the lowest floor of the prison in Devlin Imperial Castle.
Red eyes were not a common appearance condition. So, given the circumstances, Aidan was certain.
‘Have you met Ades already?’
Julius III was still alive. Does that mean that the timing of the ban has nothing to do with the timing of death?
Anyway, since the destination was decided to be the prison of the Devlin Imperial Castle, there was no reason to hesitate.
After putting all my belongings in the inn and enclosing a barrier to prevent anyone from entering, I immediately went out to the side of the road.
The first thing I did was go to a fancy restaurant and feast on it.
After filling my stomach, I go straight to the imperial guards!
“I will embroider…”
I embroidered.
***
“How did such a young woman end up here… tsk tsk.”
“Hey. What crime have you committed?”
The female prisoners imprisoned in the same room asked me various things while clicking their tongues as if they were sorry.
Every time that happened, I just laughed helplessly.
“I’m in the same prisoner, so what crime did it matter so much. It looks tough, but just two.”
“Yes, yes.”
The prisoners, who had been whispering amongst themselves, only looked at me with sympathetic eyes and did not speak to me anymore.
Thanks to that, I was able to make a plan quietly.
I spent a few days in Devlin and looked at the standard of living in the Devlin Empire.
Too many people were dying because they could not eat properly due to famine and disease.
Michael once told me about it.
“At the same time as Julius III died, a magic revolution took place within the Devlin Empire. Magic materials that are rare only in the Devlin Empire have been discovered.”
Since the timing coincided with Ades being restrained by the taboo, I thought it might have something to do with it.
It would have been a great harvest if he could find out why the rare magic material could only be found in Devlin while he had come all the way to the past.
‘Then I’ll be able to put more pressure on Veron.’
I crouched down and waited for the early morning hours when the guards would be less vigilant.
I didn’t feel hungry because I ate a hearty meal on purpose.
“It growls…”
When the prisoners snored and went to sleep without knowing the world, I slowly got up from my seat.
‘Oops, my legs are numb.’
I felt numb because I had been crouching down for a long time, but I held it in and erased the signs.
Jailbreaking wasn’t that difficult.
If you put your hand on the bar and extract life force, it will rust and then disappear.
I got out of there effortlessly and headed straight to the lowest floor.
Even though it was early in the morning and the guards were negligent, there was no guard.
So I decided to use a slightly ignorant method.
‘Because it’s too difficult to sneak up and stun…’
Every time you encounter it, hit it with a divine punch and stun it! The important thing is to knock him out before he yells.
“mask…!”
“you…!”
So many guards collapsed in agony after only screaming.
“Sorry sorry.”
As a result of endlessly descending the spiral staircase, leaving an apology with no one to listen, I was finally able to reach the bottom floor.
However, unlike the other floors, the surveillance on the lowest floor was several times more brutal. There were over 20 imperial knights standing guard, not guards.
It was unreasonable for any country to deal with such a number of people at once.
In the end, I decided to write a little shortcut.
“Kyum. Come see me for a second.”
[Kyuu?]
I asked Kyu, who jumped out.
“Can you put those guys to sleep at once?”
[Quiet!]
“Okay. Go Kyun!”
[Quiet!]
Tong Tong. As Kwyul ran, the knights immediately took a vigilant posture.
“What is that?”
“I don’t know. Catch it now!”
However, Kwyi, who evaded the attack, slammed the knights down without hesitation.
In less than a minute, all the knights fell due to Kya’s poison.
“Good job.”
Putting the key back in, I emptied the pocket of a knight with a high position and found the key.
Clicking….
As soon as I opened the heavy door and entered, I saw someone’s figure under the flickering candlelight. He was hanging from chains with his limbs bound.
It was the look of an adult. The same as Aidan’s appearance, but the face and atmosphere of a father’s age who is a little older than him.
Maybe because of that, it seemed like a different being.
And…
‘The sword stuck in the left chest.’
There were countless wounds on his bare upper body, and a sword had pierced his heart.
It was a sword I had never seen before. When I saw Aidan’s memories, it was the sword that young Veron used to pierce Aidan’s heart.
“…!”
I met red eyes. I was dazed as if I was bewitched by the sharp eyes as if they were looking right through me, and then I came to my senses.
I stared straight at him.
“Hello God.”
Aidan or Ades, who still has his ego as a god.
It was my first encounter with God.
