Episode 537
Raon swallowed his dry saliva as he looked at the ground shaking as if it was about to explode and Glenn’s eyes filled with anger.
‘I made a mistake…’
I shouldn’t have called you aunt here.
My status is collateral, not direct. It was natural for Glenn to be so angry since he called Aris, who was at the top of his immediate family, “aunt.”
‘That person’s prank continues here.’
After Aris first heard me call her aunt, she came every hour and made me call her aunt until she got tired of it.
After repeating the aunt sound for a short period of time, the word got stuck in my mouth.
-You idiot.
Lars giggled as he looked at Glenn’s red face.
-So let’s not come here and just eat.
‘I wonder if that will work.’
Raon pushed away Ras, who was flying around, and sighed.
“aunt?”
“Did you have an aunt?”
Runan and Marta tilted their heads as if surprised by their aunt’s voice.
“If you are Lord Budan’s aunt…”
“She is from our family.”
“But who on earth is this aunt… Ah! no way!”
“Aris?”
Gwangpungdae gasped as he remembered Glenn’s eldest daughter, Aris.
“Ah…”
Burren looked over and widened his eyes, probably surprised by the word Aris.
“aunt. “I’m aunt…”
Glenn chewed his dry lips as if he was even more irritated by the word “aunt” that came out of Gwangpungdae’s mouth.
“sorry. “I made a mistake.”
Raon knelt before Glenn and bowed his head.
‘I did what the head of the family hates the most.’
Glenn is a person who values keeping the line.
Even though I became a little closer to her by eating and training with her, we were not yet direct relatives, so I was not allowed to call Aris my aunt.
“…I see you well.”
Glenn nodded with a cold gaze.
“Be careful from now on.”
He let out a deep sigh as if he was letting it go just once.
“yes.”
Raon lowered his head again and then stood up.
“Sigh…”
“Ugh…”
When I looked back at the sound of sighing, I saw Rimmer and Roen shaking their heads while clutching their foreheads.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
But without even thinking about why, the two looked up at the podium again at Glenn’s call.
“Report what you have done from the beginning of the mission until now.”
“All right.”
Raon nodded and took a step forward.
“After the sudden attack by the Holy Sword Master and the White Blood Cult Leader, the Gwangpungdae and I tore down the walls of the city to save the civilians there…”
Summoning Ras and destroying Derus’ factory with the Black Market. Except, I told him everything that had happened so far.
-Hey!
Lars slapped his shoulder and rolled his eyes.
-Why are you leaving out King Bon’s performance? I mean, tell them that the king ripped out the head of that weakling and even treated them!
‘Please stay still!’
Raon was unable to understand the atmosphere again and quickly kicked Ras who intervened.
“You caught the dragon?”
“Kaibar is a dragon that destroyed more than five cities!”
“Crazy…”
“How did they manage to catch the dragon in such a short amount of time!”
Gwangpungdae showed astonishment in his eyes, as if he had never imagined that Raon would come hunting a dragon.
“Ha, you really….”
“Good luck Raon!”
Marta shook her head as if she was dumbfounded, and Runaan clenched her small fists in joy.
“Wow….”
Buren’s reaction was strong today. The guy pointed his finger in this direction and his chin trembled.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
Perhaps because Aris had told him in advance, Glenn calmly nodded without being the least bit surprised.
“You know that the ring Chamber gave you had two abilities, right?”
“yes. I know.”
“The first is to send someone to a location you know, and the second is to summon someone you know to your location. “Why didn’t you call me there?”
Contrary to expectations, he asked questions not about the dragon but about what happened before.
“I thought that if I summoned the head of the family, Gwangpungdae would die even if I lived.”
Raon recited exactly what he thought at the time.
“The condition of the captain and Mark Gotten Dorian was so serious that no matter how much the head of the family came, they would not have been able to treat him.”
“It was just luck that you were thrown out when the barrier broke. “If it was even a little bit off, I would have died.”
“At the time, I didn’t think my life or death was important. “My head was filled with thoughts of just having to save those guys.”
Gwangpungdae listened to Raon’s words and lowered his head, biting his lip or clutching his chest.
“is it.”
Glenn nodded slowly and turned his attention to Dorian.
“Dorian Sepia.”
“Oh yeah!”
Dorian lifted his neck even as his shoulders trembled.
“Weren’t you afraid of Orgos?”
“I was so scared. “My tongue couldn’t move properly.”
“But why did you trick me into saying you were Raon?”
“I was scared of dying, but I was more scared of Raon being killed by that guy.”
Dorian continued, rubbing his stomach pockets with both hands.
“I thought it would be better for me to die, so I forced myself to open my mouth.”
“It seems like everyone is thinking the same thing.”
Glenn nodded, thinking that the answer was not only for Dorian but also for all of the Stormtroopers.
“What do you think are the conditions for a true colleague?”
No one answered his question.
“The question is whether I can put the lives of my colleagues before my own. This doesn’t mean we spent a lot of time together. This is only possible when trust is built between people. “You accomplished such a difficult task at such a young age.”
There is a hint of laughter in Glenn’s voice. It was the softest voice I’ve ever heard.
“At the Festival of the Five Spirits of Shinju, we honor Sieghart’s name, rescue civilians from Ouma’s attack, and award gold plaques and elixirs of reward to all of the Gwangpungdae who risked their lives for their comrades!”
Instead of his usual emptiness, Glenn looked at Gwangpungdae with eyes that seemed to be filled with warmth.
“And all of Gwangpungdae?”
“We also get a gold plaque?”
“Is that what happens?”
“How can this be…?”
“Isn’t this the first time the entire university has received a gold plaque?”
All of Gwangpungdae’s mouths gaped, saying they had no idea they would receive the award of a gold plaque.
“Ah…”
Raon was also caught off guard by the reward that far exceeded his expectations.
‘But is this okay?’
It was obvious that the Jeonjus were going to shout that it was impossible, but Glenn sent a hand gesture to Loen with calm eyes, as if he had already made a decision.
The man known as the King of Northern Death seemed to be more moody than expected.
“I’m ready.”
Roen went up to the stage holding a large board in both hands.
“Raon Sieghardt. from now on.”
Raon looked back. Martha Runan Burren. And after making eye contact with the entire Gwangpungdae, he walked in front of Glenn’s throne.
“You know you’re lucky even if I don’t tell you.”
“yes.”
“You can’t always be lucky on the battlefield. “Think about what you would do next time the same thing happens.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Glenn nodded as if he believed it and handed over the gold plate and elixir he had received from Roen.
“Let’s talk about catching the light dragon separately.”
He waved his hand as if telling me to go down.
“thank you.”
-Oh!
As Raon bowed his head politely to Glenn, Lars’ seizure began again.
-Why doesn’t King Bon have anything? This means that the king killed them all and cured them all!
‘I’ll give you food!’
I went down the podium while persuading Lars to be quiet, as if I were telling a dog to be quiet by saying the word “food.”
“Burren Sieghardt. from now on.”
“Oh yeah!”
Burren looked blankly at this and then hurriedly climbed up onto the platform. His eyes and reactions were strange today.
-Hehe.
Lars giggled as he looked at Buren.
‘Why are you laughing all of a sudden?’
-Something interesting will happen soon.
The guy looked at Burren’s back and curled up the corner of his mouth. It was a laugh that seemed to be both cowardice and anticipation.
‘Ehh.’
Raon shook his head and looked up at the podium.
“Thank you!”
Buren bit his lip and bowed his head to Glenn, as if he was thrilled with the gold medal he received for the first time.
“We will show you even better things in the future.”
Martha, on the other hand, held the gold plate and elixir with a confident gesture as if she was receiving what she received.
“Is there any sweet elixir?”
“…There is no such thing.”
And Runaan was not particularly interested in the gold plate and asked for a cold and sweet elixir.
Since then, everyone in the Storm Troopers, including Dorian Crane Mark Goeton, have received gold plaques and elixirs.
Aside from the gold plaque, it seemed like he had prepared it in advance as he immediately gave the elixir suitable for each Gwangpungdae individual.
“Thank you!”
“Thank you!”
Yua and Julius, who received the gold plaque last, nodded deeply and came down to the stage.
“You have worked hard to fulfill your role as Sieghardt’s prosecutor. “Just go back and get some rest.”
Glenn nodded to the Gwangpungdae and rested his chin on his fist. His eyes fill with gray emptiness. It seemed like it was all over now.
Whoops!
Loen, who had moved to the back, opened the huge door to the throne room.
The Gwangpungdae quietly bowed and went out of the throne room one by one.
“Now wait a minute?”
Rimmer pointed at himself with his finger and twitched his eyes.
“You didn’t give me anything?”
Even when he shouted that he didn’t receive the award, no one cared.
“No, they said they would give it to the entire Gwangpungdae! I’m a Gwangpungdae too! “I’m the one paying for it!”
“….”
The frenzied band left the throne room with their ears covered, and of course Glenn ignored them.
“Hey, matriarch.”
Raon turned to Glenn for the last time before leaving.
“okay. Raon! “Please tell me something!”
Rimmer shook his fist as if asking to speak on his behalf.
“I heard from Aris that you single-handedly stopped the Holy Sword Master and the White Blood Cult Master. Are you feeling okay?”
“Kuh…”
Glenn didn’t reply, but the fist that was resting on his chin was shaking. He covered his mouth with a shaking hand.
‘Why do you feel bad….’
-You idiot!
Lars hit Raon on the head.
-That young man has reached a level that transcends species. I feel bad thinking I’m being ignored! Why don’t you know the obvious!
‘Ah…’
When Raon was about to apologize again, Glenn nodded.
“Okay.”
He waved his hand as if to tell me to leave.
“yes.”
Raon bowed his head and left the throne room.
“hey!”
Rimmer shouted hollowly as he watched the door close.
“Why are you ignoring me? “Can’t you see me?”
* * *
The throne room was quiet after the Gwangpungdae left.
However, Glenn and Rimmer Loen, who remained in the throne room, were all frowning.
“Hehehe…”
Glenn covered his lower abdomen with his large, long hand and curled up the corners of his mouth.
‘I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been worried about someone.’
Is it because of his name as King of North Extermination and his position as Sieghart’s matriarch?
No one cared about my physical condition for a long time.
It’s been a long time since someone worried about me, and since it was Raon, I felt like all my worries, anger, and fatigue were washed away.
‘But my aunt is a bit…’
Although Rimaire took away my first drinking party with Raon, I wanted to hear the family name that he could never use, following Sylvia’s mother, for the second time.
However, while trying to remove the stone that had been stuck, Aris suddenly appeared and robbed me of the family name that I was able to hear for the second time.
Even now, I was so angry that my hands and feet were shaking.
“Call Aris right away. “If he doesn’t come this time, tell him I’ll come find him in person.”
“Previously!”
Rimmer sighed and approached Glenn.
“Why did you tell me not to call you aunt earlier?”
“Of course you can’t do that!”
Glenn shook his head, saying he could never accept it.
“I can’t hear grandfather, so how can you make Aris call me aunt! “I absolutely can’t stand it!”
He frowned, saying that he couldn’t bear such a thing even if dirt got into his ears.
“Haa…”
“Huu…”
Rimmer and Roen sighed at the same time.
“Then, instead of banning Raon from saying ‘aunt,’ you can just make him call the head of the family ‘grandpa!’ Ah-oh! stuffy!”
Rimmer looked up at Glenn and pounded his chest vigorously.
“I thought about that too. Just…”
“Just?”
“Isn’t it a little embarrassing to ask you to say ‘grandfather’ with your own mouth?”
Glenn looked to the right as if he was embarrassed.
“Head of the family….”
“Is there any shame in the relationship between a grandchild and a grandfather?”
Roen and Rimmer shook their heads, saying they did not understand.
“Whoa…”
Rimmer took a breath and called out to Glenn.
“Have you ever heard Buren call you a grandfather?”
“okay. “That child has called me ‘Grandpa’ ever since he was little.”
“It’s the same as that. It’s not something to be ashamed of, it’s natural. Just close your eyes and say it! “You can call me grandpa now!”
“Hmm…”
Glenn cleared his throat briefly and smoothed the armrests of the throne with his fingers.
“I wish I could be called something a little more natural than that…”
“Then we all grow old and die! No, I’m so frustrated that I’ll leave first! Aaaagh!”
Rimmer lay down on the floor and screamed.
“Hehehe!”
Roen seemed to have given up and closed his eyes with his usual smile.
“hmm.”
Glenn bitterly licked his lips as he watched Rimmer struggling on the floor and Loen continuing to laugh.
“I’ll try my best…”
* * *
Raon smiled proudly as he looked at the Gwangpungdae from behind.
‘Everyone has grown up.’
Burren Marta Runan rose to Master, Dorian and his co-pilots reached the master’s wall, and all team members also reached the highest level of Expert.
It’s not because I experienced death. This growth was achieved because he continued to train with all his might even after recovering from his injury.
‘And…’
I saw the back of Mark Goeten walking right in front of me. He broke through the hopelessly thick wall and confidently rose to the level of intermediate master.
When I saw Mark Goeton’s confident gait, I remembered the first time I saw him and naturally laughed.
“Raon….”
While Raon was enjoying the growth of Gwangpungdae, Buren came up next to him.
“Let’s go out and solve the Gaju battle.”
“huh. “I know that, but…”
Buren touched his temple with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.
“What’s wrong with you? “I’m feeling a little strange today.”
He seemed to have forgotten that he had even received the gold plaque, and his brows were severely set.
“What on earth is that?”
Buren pointed to the back of his hand, which had nothing on it.
“What are you talking about?”
Raon looked at the back of his hand and tilted his head.
“What is that greenish thing floating on the back of your hand?…”
Now that I see it, it’s not the back of my hand. Burren pointed with his finger to the exact space where Lars was floating.
The blue eyes that Lars had put in were shining brightly.
“…Can you really see this?”
Raon’s lips trembled as he looked into Burren’s two differently colored eyes.
“also!”
Buren looked at Lars and clenched his fists.
“I was dancing alone in the throne room and making a fuss, but no one noticed! “I thought I was crazy!”
“Ah…”
Now I understand why Burren’s expression was strange today.
Suddenly, a piece of cotton candy started wandering around and causing trouble, so it was natural for it to look like that.
“What on earth is that? “Is it a monster?”
-Woohuhu! You humble eyes. King Bon…
“Oh, this is just cotton candy.”
Raon swallowed Lars, who was trying to introduce himself, in one bite.
-You crazy guy!
“That…”
Buren’s eyes trembled.
“Is it sticking out through your cheek right now?”
-Kyahahaha!
Lars giggled while holding his protruding stomach.
-I asked you why you were laughing earlier? It was because of this!
The guy raised his chin and pointed at Burren’s blue eyes.
-The eyes are full of pure anger! Since I have received the King’s blessing, of course I have no choice but to see him!
‘It wasn’t a coincidence after all.’
-There is no such thing as coincidence with this king! Everything is thoroughly calculated!
Ras pointed his finger at Burren, asking him to feel the greatness of the Lord of Wrath.
-This King is the Lord of Anger and the King of the Demon World! King Bon saved you and healed you! Let everyone know about the existence of this King!
The guy pretended to be dignified and spread out his plump arms.
“….”
But Buren didn’t say anything and just looked at Lass blankly.
“You dance well.”
He actually smiled and applauded as if he thought Lars’ movements were cute.
-What! Why aren’t you responding to the king’s words? This means that you must immediately announce the king’s presence and offer him food!
Lars opened his mouth as wide as he could and screamed, but Burren still blinked in amazement.
-How did this happen…
‘Hey.’
Raon frowned as if he was pitiful.
‘What you made for Burren was snow, right?’
-You’ll know it when you see it!
‘What do eyes do?’
-You’re seeing it!
‘Then Burren can see you but can’t hear you. ‘You didn’t do anything to your ears.’
-uh? Uh… uh! Oh my gosh!
Lars looked into Burren’s ears and let out a scream.
-I didn’t touch your ears!
‘Your calculations are so thorough, Lord of Wrath…’
