Chapter 331. Conditional Agreement (1)
“…hmm?”
Archangel Gabriel hesitated.
And I thought.
‘Why does that person change his attitude like that?’
Clearly, he was a person who had been paying attention to this side a little while ago.
I’m afraid I’ll at least hate you for saying the wrong thing.
I wondered if the ugly hair would get stuck and cause damage.
Trying to please this side.
It seemed like he was trying his best not to go against it.
But now?
‘I was just telling you the truth. It is said that angels are only workers in the celestial world, regardless of their rank. It is never an object of worship and should not be. He just told me the truth without hesitation.’
The man’s attitude changed drastically.
eyes on this side?
I didn’t even see it anymore.
The expressions and gestures that were cautious because they might end up being hated?
Now I can’t even find it when I look for it.
Archangel Gabriel asked, feeling as if his salary just melted into his bank account.
“What? The admonition I gave…Would you like to point out point by point how absurd nonsense it is?”
“yes. I’m sorry, but it is.”
Lloyd licked his lips.
I began to put the prepared counterargument on my tongue.
It’s like broth brewed by a craftsman for three days and nights.
It was a parade of objections prepared and refined all the way to heaven.
“First of all, I would like to ask one question to the Minister of Heaven. The jewel of truth, which is a building that is currently being questioned in the heavens. May I know when it was designated as an illegal building?”
“You mean by the time of the summer?”
“yes.”
“It’s not that hard to tell. Exactly 4,640,655 days and 12 hours, 20 minutes and 16 seconds ago.”
“Ummm then…Did you mean 12714 years, 1 month and 15 days ago?”
“Approximately.”
“Anyway, then it must have been designated as an illegal building far in the past from the time I started constructing the Jewel of Truth, right?”
“Yes.”
“But then why was there no prior notice or guidance at the time I was constructing the jewel?”
“what?”
Archangel Gabriel hesitated.
Lloyd’s sharp point continued.
“It certainly was. As I began to build the Jewel of Truth. I had never received any prior warning or notification from anyone, through any means, that Jewel was an illegal building and should not be built. Isn’t this obviously a problem?”
“….”
“Isn’t it? It is said that it is an illegal building designated by the heavens. Didn’t you say that it was an illegal building of an extremely high level? So the act of building it itself is a big problem. It means you’ll get into trouble later on. I heard that from the left angel who first came down to execute the demolition.”
“That of course….”
“Ah yes. Of course that would be correct. I have already heard the reason that the Jewel of Truth is a facility related to the leakage of heavenly secrets. So isn’t this a bigger problem? If it is a high-level illegal building, why did you not give any notice or guidance when construction started?”
“….”
Archangel Gabriel kept his mouth shut.
That guy is definitely a man who built an illegal building.
So, this is what that person did wrong.
Somehow strangely, now that person was rather raising his voice.
But strangely, that person’s words…It didn’t go against the rules!
Lloyd’s voice became more confident.
“So this is what I want to say that there is a problem. Because it is an illegal building. That’s why it’s a building that is tightly managed and banned. No, then, when I was preparing to build it, shouldn’t you have come and warned me in advance, saying, ‘Hey, friend, you shouldn’t build that for two dollars’?”
“Look, that….”
“No, listen to me first. Wouldn’t this be unfair to me? I mean I really didn’t know. No one told me, and there was no notice or guidance at all, so how could I know that the Jewel of Truth was an illegal construction?”
“….”
“It’s real. I was just like, ‘Wow, this is a great building from the Shinhwa Age, so I’d love to build it!’”
“Um sorry about that. but….”
“No, you want to hear me first? They didn’t tell me in advance that this was an illegal building, so I built it with sweat and hard work without knowing anything. What is this?”
“….”
“Seriously, change your mind and think about it. Won’t you open the lid because I’m pissed right now?”
“Um, about that….”
“No, I’m telling you not to interrupt me?”
“Uh, that’s obviously because you asked a question….”
“It is because it is unfair. I do this because I feel unfair. If you’re like the archangel, wouldn’t you feel unfair when something like this happened to you? Aren’t you going to make an issue?”
“….”
“Can you answer me?”
“…Can I answer now?”
“yes.”
“Whoa. You are a very difficult human being.”
“I would appreciate it if you could praise me for being smarter.”
“If you hate me like this, what are you doing?”
“Didn’t you promise that it wouldn’t happen?”
“…Whoa, even if that’s the case, I’m about to regret that promise.”
“But it’s not a promise if it doesn’t work.”
“So I have no regrets.”
The archangel Gabriel stopped laughing bitterly.
In my heart, I wondered if there were all these people.
But on the other hand?
I understood what that man was strongly claiming.
“If you do, you are claiming that the belated demolition order without prior notice from Heaven is unfair in terms of procedure. Is it right?”
“Yes, that is it.”
Lloyd nodded.
It was a problem that I raised strongly as if I was blown away in the first place.
I purposely went out as hard as I could and rammed my opponent.
As soon as I catch the atmosphere that seems to have been eaten.
I just brought out the story I really wanted to tell.
“I do not intend to protest against the fact that the Jewel of Truth has been designated as an illegal building. It must have been decided for a reasonable reason and justification. So I don’t think the decision itself is unfair. Just-”
“Just?”
“I would like to take issue with the fact that there was no guidance or notice about illegal construction at the beginning of construction. I would like to take issue with the fact that the belated demolition order was issued shortly before completion. I would like to say that this is clearly a mistake in the administrative procedure, and that I, the poor summer world, have been harmed by this mistake.”
“Hmm. avoid Can you prove with an example what kind of damage was done specifically?”
“Of course.”
It sounds natural.
One of Lloyd’s lips curled up.
“First of all, I poured the biggest opportunity cost of money, labor and, above all, time into the construction of the Jewel of Truth and the dam.”
“hour?”
“yes.”
Really.
It is unfair.
He said it with an honest feeling.
“First, I would like to state that the Jewel of Truth was constructed to prevent the Restoration of Destiny phenomenon.”
“Hmm good. Keep talking.”
“Yes, thank you. Anyway, so I had to shoot all over the continent like crazy. why? It is said that it is the collection of core materials. From the mermaid kingdom in the Arctic Ocean to the royal road Magenta, to the Dragon Glacier Cave, to the Northwest Great Plains and even to other dimensions.”
“many…It must have taken an effort.”
“Was it just an effort? It took a lot of time. Because I have invested all my time in trying and preparing to prevent the phenomenon of restoration of fate.”
Originally, I tried to speak calmly.
I saw you talking.
The gradation (?) filled with sincerity gradually intensified.
“so! I thought I was going to find out how to prevent the restoration of fate by working so hard and wasting time wasting time collecting all the key materials and now building a jewel. right then! Then the left angel came down and gave a gem! Didn’t you mean to destroy it?”
“Hmm, that….”
“Doesn’t sound like a little bit to you? Do you want to cross the line?”
“….”
“That is my position. You should have given us information or notices related to illegal buildings in advance at the time we started collecting the core materials for the jewel. But in reality? You didn’t. So what happened as a result? I have not yet been able to prevent the restoration of fate, but now I am in a position to dismantle the gem prepared to stop it.”
“….”
“Literally, as I wasted money and time, everything I prepared became a blank sheet and I blew away all the opportunity costs to prevent the restoration of fate. It just ruins your life. This is thanks to the fact that here in the heavens, without giving notice or guidance in advance, the demolition order was later issued as if it were a shame.”
“Hmm, are you saying that you want to be compensated for the lost opportunity cost due to this side’s omission of prior information?”
“Yes, that is it.”
Lloyd nodded vigorously.
“At this rate, even if I die, I will not be able to close my eyes. I lost the opportunity cost and was beaten for not being able to prevent the restoration of fate. Then where should I pour out this unfair loss? There is only here. Who else would notice my injustice except the fair and merciful archangel?”
“I, of course….”
“Yes, I know. What kind of person is the archangel? Aren’t you the one who takes care of poor beings in the underworld like me with the same goodness as Hahae? So that’s it. Close your eyes and save me just once. yes?”
“How can you save me?”
“Please agree to the conditional demolition of the Jewel of Truth.”
“Conditional…Demolition?”
“yes.”
This is the key from now on.
Lloyd spoke cautiously and boldly.
“First of all, as I said before, I have no objection to the designation of Jewel of Truth as an illegal building. I think it’s a reasonable decision from heaven. That’s why I don’t think I’m going to oppose the demolition order itself. Rather, you should follow it. Because that is the rule.”
“however?”
“The fact that you didn’t give me a guide or notice about an illegal building in advance. Because of that, I lost the opportunity cost of time. Considering these points, it would be good if you allow a grace period for demolition.”
“Demolition grace period?”
“yes.”
Lloyd’s voice softened.
“It means that you should postpone the demolition until the point where you can definitely prevent the restoration of fate.”
“…Hmm, I guess you want to protect the opportunity cost you expended for your purpose of building the jewel of truth.”
“Yes that’s right.”
He is also an archangel.
I can’t be this comfortable because I understand the meaning of this side.
Lloyd checked the archangel’s expression in his heart and put his hands together.
He said it as if praying earnestly.
“Just and merciful archangel. For the balance and development of this world, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, I work tirelessly! Are you an angel working hard? Please, I earnestly ask that you look down and take care of the helpless beings of the underworld so that they do not suffer unjust and unfair damage, and that the damage is not caused by mistakes in the procedures of the heavenly administration. And another….”
“also?”
“yes.”
“Do you have anything else to ask for as a condition?”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded as if it were natural.
A spoonful of shameless heart mixed with earnest prayer.
“I would like to ask you one more condition.”
“why?”
“The demolition grace period is just to protect the opportunity cost I spent. From now on, it will be a condition to receive ‘compensation’ for the damage I received.”
“Are you saying there is another damage you received?”
“yes. The psychological damage.”
“….”
“In this way, I was forcibly called to the underworld, even to the heavens, with my sober mind. I came face-to-face with an extremely holy and tremendous archangel-like person. A person from the underworld like me. Have you ever thought about what a psychological impact this would be?”
“As far as I know, I know that you also faced the King of Hell.”
“Oops. How dare you dare to rub the king of hell on the same level as the archangel?”
“….”
“He is the archangel, no one else. How dare I call the archangel the king of hell and…Ugh, that’s nonsense.”
“….”
“That much, the pressure and mental shock I received while facing the archangel was indescribably great, beautiful, or overwhelmingly powerful. That’s why. Now, if I go back to the summer world, I might not be able to properly take care of myself for days and days, and I might suffer from the aftereffects of anxiety. Yes, because the archangel is such a great and holy being.”
“….”
“Hey, Archangel?”
“….”
“Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
“Ah, how did you get such a swindler into my office, so stop it.”
“….”
“Well, I heard your ridiculous flattery. Impressive. But there are also undeniable facts. The damage you claim to have suffered.”
“Ah yes.”
“I don’t know if there is any psychological damage, but it is clear that the Left Angel went down to execute the demolition and attacked you and caused a stir. In fact, your space-time was interrupted because of it. Am I right?”
“yes.”
Lloyd nodded.
Archangel Gabriel smiled benignly.
“good. Listening to your protest, there is no wrong corner anywhere. It is true that you suffered unjust damage because of Heaven’s incomplete administrative measures. I decided to I will accept your request positively.”
“What do you mean?”
“I will grant you the demolition grace period you requested. Also, I will actively review the additional conditions you require. So tell me. What is the one additional condition you ask for?”
…It’s a success.
I finally did it.
The archangel agrees to accept our conditions.
Seeing that benevolent smile, Lloyd let out a cheer in his heart.
However, on the outside, he desperately clamped down on the corners of his mouth.
I promise not to be hasty yet.
I think you need to stay calm at times like this.
I remembered the big picture that I had in my heart.
I took out the puzzle pieces to make the big picture a reality.
He proudly presented it to the archangel as a requirement.
“I would like to ask for your full cooperation so that I can obtain the second new summer eye of the Magentano royal family.”
