If you want peace(2)

A strange silence follows.

I know it’s a misleading word.

With a soft sigh, I spoke to Skadi, who was looking this way.

“It’s literally because we don’t have the right clothes. After the treatment is decided, we have to buy something to wear.”

“I haven’t even tried it on yet…”

“Yes?”

“Oh, nothing!”

Is this something that would be so embarrassing?

There were many times when I didn’t know Skadi’s reaction.

She glared with hatchet eyes at the gray hair swaying from the side, then took out a file folder and handed it to me.

“What is this?”

“This is the outline of the ‘strategic consortium’ spoken at the central level.”

Has it already been outlined?

I thought it would take a little longer if it was a public institution, but the public officials here seem to be working faster than I thought.

If it’s not that, it must mean that the fire fell on the instep.

“The central dimension ‘Genesis’…”

Genesis is the headquarters of the Federation, where the ‘Central Police’, the backbone of the Dimensional Union, is located.

Because it is a place where central officials and military leaders come and go, it is a world of another world that is not accessible to anyone.

Are you calling me from a place like that?

I felt a little strange.

“It means that your skills are that attractive.”

“Thank you for being kind, but I don’t know if time will pass.”

From lecture preparation and dissertation review to rotating body kit and other research schedules.

I am so busy that 24 hours a day is not enough.

Even if it was called at the central level, it was tight to bet the time right now.

“I knew it. Well~ I’ll tell you well.”

“Please.”

“huh···.”

His voice sounded blunt, perhaps because he was in a bad mood.

As she crossed her arms and carried the papers by her tail, she suddenly saw gray hair still beside her.

Their eyes met, and when he smiled again, Skadi’s expression frowned.

“Seeing…”

Then, he turned his head and looked at me.

No, it was like looking at the hat I was wearing.

“Lend me too!”

“Yes?”

In an instant, the hat he was wearing was sucked into Skadi’s hand.

She took off her peaked cap and put it on mine, looking at her gray hair with a smile on her face.

In the midst of unknown nerve warfare, the gray-haired expression became sullen.

“Hi-Hi.”

“·······.”

“I’ll return it later!”

Then, he quickly left the office.

Taking my hat and throwing it away.

“I don’t like that woman.”

The grumbling gray-haired man turned his gaze to my face.

To be precise, my mask.

“Don’t even think about it.”

“huh···.”

Why are so many people interested in my stuff?

I swallowed a boiling sigh and checked the time.

Just in time, the pre-order time is approaching.

I put on a spare coat and urged the gray hair to get ready to go out.

“Prepare.”

“…where are you going?”

“Altar of Stars.”

Today was the day to meet Laniakea, who had returned to Helios.

*

The top floor of Helios.

The Altar of Stars, which touched the sky, was as quiet as always.

As if it was a strange place where the whole view of Helios could be seen at a glance, the gray hair ran all over the place with both eyes shining.

“Wow… it feels like the world is under my feet.”

There is admiration in the voice.

The young soul, facing the world for the first time, looked down at the scenery below Helios with curious eyes.

“Do the Constellations live in a place like this?”

“No. The constellation stays in a higher sky.”

Her shoulders trembled at the sudden voice.

When I followed the voice and turned my gaze, Laniakea, who had descended on the altar before I knew it, was looking at me with a smile.

“It’s been a while, my apostle.”

“Yes.”

“And···.”

Laniakea’s gaze turned to her gray hair.

“Nice to meet you too.”

“…!”

Is Laniakea unfamiliar?

She quickly got up and hid behind my back.

Then he just stuck out his head and looked at her with eyes full of vigilance.

“Maria? No… who are you?”

“·······.”

The wariness of the gray hair was considerable.

Laniakea’s appearance is the same as that of the deceased Mary.

Even so, there is a difference in the atmosphere and behavior, so it must be instinctively wary.

As I was about to explain, she raised a hand to stop me.

It was a gesture that he would say.

“I am a constellation with the epithet of ‘the most holy sky’, and I am Maria’s twin sister.”

“Twins…sister?”

“Yes. Her name is Laniakea.”

I wouldn’t normally hear her real name, so would that be okay?

I glanced at the gray hair, but surprisingly, she reacted calmly.

“That’s a strange name.”

She seemed to recognize Laniakea’s name.

When asked what was the matter, Laniakea replied that it was because she was separated from Mary.

Even if it is the ego of the Witchbeast, its essence came from Maria, who was a constellation and her twin sister, so she could hear the name of Laniakea.

“What’s your name?”

“… none. Because no one built it.”

Laniakea’s gaze turned to me.

“I’m not good at naming.”

You can’t just stick to anything, but you can’t use Maria’s name as it is.

After all, they are two different people.

I held my gray hair in front of Laniakea.

It was an unspoken intention to leave it to her.

“Names… that’s a difficult question.”

She took a step forward and stroked her twitching gray hair.

“How about ‘Adeline’?”

“Adeline…?”

“It means ‘elegant woman’. It was one of Maria’s nicknames.”

It’s Maria’s nickname.

I’ve heard it a few times too.

It was a name Kaya often used when teasing Maria…

From what Laniakea knew, it was probably a nickname given to Maria when she was still a Constellation.

“If it’s Maria’s… that’s fine.”

“Whoops. I’m glad you like it.”

She smiled softly and gently hugged the gray-haired Adeline.

They looked alike, but Laniakea was a bit taller and looked like sisters hugging.

“What you did for my brother. Thank you very much.”

“·······.”

“I’ll take good care of you from now on, Adeline.”

Adeline quietly bowed her head and buried her face in Laniakea’s arms.

It was like a child in the arms of its mother.

“···yes.”

After that, Adeline was no longer wary of Laniakea.

On the contrary, since they were Maria’s family, they seemed to have a certain affinity for them.

Laniakea said while stroking the head of Adeline, who was still in her arms.

“I heard that you made a great contribution to protecting Helios this time.”

“I was lucky.”

“Whoops. You’re humble.”

She handed me a piece of paper.

It was the strategic consortium document Skadi had shown me, but it contained more details than that.

“Rotation body kit. Sympathetic nervous system. All of them are great skills, but they are still unfamiliar to existing hunters.”

“That’s right.”

“The central dimension seems to want to use this opportunity to foster a special strategic unit based on Eugene’s skills.”

I followed her words and looked at the documents.

There, the content was stated in the name of ‘Special Operations Task Force’.

In short, he wanted to set up a special course to cultivate key talent beyond magic mathematics.

It’s convenient to think of it as special forces training.

It was as if they had sounded out that they would like me to be the professor in charge of the course.

“I’ll visit you as soon as I have time.”

“I’m sorry. I always leave you with work.”

“I’m doing what I have to do. You don’t have to apologize.”

I am an apostle of Laniakea.

Killing monsters is my job, but it was also one of my duties to devote myself to the work of the professor Laniakea gave me.

I am not an ignorant person to the extent of taking care of my rights while ignoring my duties.

“By the way, where did you go while you were away from Helios? A week seems to be a long time to come back from the battlefield.”

“I came to visit the headquarters of Balthazar, the demon beast.”

For a moment, a chill lingered in Laniakea’s smile as she spoke.

“We gave back more than we received.”

“·······.”

He spoke calmly, but the content was not.

Come to think of it, I always forgot about it because it only showed me a limited appearance.

She is the Empress of the Stars who commands all constellations.

That it is the most powerful constellation.

“Then I’ll ask you to do the rest, Eugene-nim.”

“Yes. Then… Adeline.”

I beckoned her to follow me, but Adeline left Laniakea’s arms with a sad face.

Then, he opened his mouth to us.

“But what’s the relationship between the two of you?”

Before I could reply, she continued.

“Are you in a relationship?”

“·······.”

“·······.”

It was an unexpected attack, so I was at a loss for words.

Laniakea, whose eyes widened for a moment, burst into laughter with her mouth covered.

“Pu-hu-hu…”

“Our relationship is-“

Then, Laniakea raised a finger and covered my mouth.

Then, with a wink in one eye, he answered Adeline.

“A closer relationship than a lover?”

“·······.”

Adeline’s eyes widened.

Then, I nodded my head alone, and with a face that seemed to understand something, I came over here with a clear face.

“So, please take good care of me, Eugene.”

“then-“

She didn’t wait for my answer.

Laniakea, who spread her wings and turned into light, flew straight up into the night sky and disappeared into the outer dimension…

“Kang Yoo-jin.”

“Why are you calling?”

“I’m in favor of that older sister.”

“·······.”

The price of bullshit was the night.

*

Once back to the office.

The only thing left to do was decide on Adeline’s treatment, but it was impossible right now.

Even if you want to be a student of Helios, it is impossible to transfer because you do not meet the basic premise that you must be born with a ‘fate of a star’.

Even so, it is difficult to determine whether she will be able to do her school work properly to be accepted as a faculty member.

For now, it seemed that the situation of staying in my night job room would continue as it is now.

“…paperwork is a problem.”

In fact, it’s what takes up most of my time at work.

Since you have to check and respond to each one, you can’t entrust it to someone else.

‘Even if I just solve this, it will save me a lot of time…’

But it can’t be pointed otherwise.

It’s not like I can use clone magic.

With consortium work coming up, time is running out.

I hurriedly sat down at my desk to finish the paperwork.

“Can’t you handle all of that at once? You can just float something like a pen and use it all at once.”

Adeline said disgruntledly.

Because of this, he himself is tied up, so it is a natural reaction.

“I can use it at once. If only my hair had that many.”

If only I could do it at the same time, I wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble and how nice it would be.

But no matter how competent I am, the human body is incapable of simultaneous computation.

“Can I?”

“…?”

Her mana jumped, and the sympathetic nervous system suddenly opened up.

The target is me and her.

However, this sympathetic connection was not for general communication.

“······!”

She separated the connected consciousness into several channels.

She herself volunteered for the role of a hub, and expanded her consciousness to enable simultaneous computation like a CPU.

I became obsessed with the strange sensation of being able to clearly feel each individual consciousness even though I was separated.

“·······.”

He raised the papers in all directions with his magic power.

It’s over hundreds of papers, but with Adeline’s power, the consciousness could also be divided into the same number.

In other words, through her, I can calculate multiple pieces of information simultaneously.

Crunchy square-

Hundreds of documents are reviewed simultaneously.

After thinking about it, drawing a conclusion, I wrote down the words with a pen that moved with magical power.

Originally, the work that would have required me to stay up all night was finished in less than 30 minutes.

I had to think while looking at the documents that had already been reviewed and piled up one by one.

“Did I do well?”

“·······.”

I turned my head and looked at her.

great.

It’s not just a matter of paperwork.

If you have this kind of power, it means that individual multi-casting of magic is also possible.

It was worth trying to use it for further boosting power.

‘I thought it would be useful, but is it this much?’

I think I finally found the assistant I’ve been looking for for a long time.

“Adeline.”

“yes?”

“You are my assistant starting today.”

With this level of ability, it wouldn’t be difficult to get permission from Helios.

They plan to convince the administration, but Adeline doesn’t seem to know what an assistant is.

“What is an assistant?”

“A person who assists the professor in his work and lectures.”

I answered, but I still tilt my head as if it was cryptic.

“Can I be by your side?”

“It will be hard to fall.”

At those words, a color appeared on his expressionless face.

. . . Such a simple answer seemed to make more sense to her.

“Yeah. If it’s like that, that’s fine.”

I immediately got up from my seat.

Now that the paperwork that was expected to take several days was over, there was no reason to be stuck in the office any longer.

“Prepare.”

“Where are you going this time?”

“Genesis.”

I showed her the documents I received from Raniakea.

The backbone of the central dimension, Genesis.

A place called the heart of the human union, located there.

It was time to go to ‘Central Police’.

“Previously.”

Before contacting Skadi, he looked at Adeline.

Seeing the poor outfit, I naturally frowned, so I changed the route a bit.

“First, I’ll go buy your clothes.”
