23-1. Who are the uninvited guests?

After the commotion passed, the magic club club I visited was noisy.

“Hiya Yayak!! It’s a monster!!”

“hahahahaha, Ariel. They are Richt and Mardol.”

“Uh.. Really..?”

Kinel dressed as a yellow Cerberus and Ariel dressed as a red Cheshire Cat.

“Ah. Aww oh, that wasn’t it Kurrr.”

Yellow next door and a tsundere red cat.

It was a really fitting nickname. I held her spare helm in one hand and tried to watch the spectacle with satisfaction.

‘..I’m really nervous.’

Now I have a rose in the inside pocket of my overcoat, and I feel strange for no reason.

I stopped at the men’s dormitory on the way back, just in case you didn’t know.

A high-grade item in the first place. It will not wither without water. I’ll do something with the mana.

‘I wouldn’t have told you to bring it if it wasn’t possible. Will it be all right?’

I remembered Rin, the dark-haired girl I had just saved. It’s just that it’s strange that he resembles me a little bit.

In addition, he left after saying something meaningful. She buys him a favorite game for Easter. If you have it, it will be useful.

In the game, there was an event where you had to have a specific item to proceed. I thought about it deeply, adding to my worries,

‘..Are you really a child of the future? But why black hair? One side is brown.’

It is proof that I couldn’t connect with the nameless saintess. He shook his head and denied one fact that came to his mind.

Absolutely not. It must have been just an accidental event. Isn’t the cliché of saving a child from being hit by a carriage quite common?

The same goes for lost Mia looking at the main characters and calling them her mother and father. It also appears in romance novels that our saintess likes.

‘It must be because of my mood.’

Not even the slightest possibility. It was a misunderstanding in the first place, and didn’t he just look at the armor and call him dad? A boy named Sei saw me and even apologized.

“..Licht, what are you doing?”

“Nothing.”

It seems that she hasn’t been incorporated into the princess route yet. If so, she would have called Mardol a mother too. That never happened, so she just let her ease her mind.

“Durahan’s makeup looks real. Because the glass completely obscures her head….”

“Thanks to Mr. Mardol.”

Currently, the upper part of my neck is distorted by the glass knight’s magic, making it invisible. Transparent glass was floating around.

Magic expresses images, and Yurira feels sharp and cold. She is like her

“Rich, give me the helmet.”

“Oh, yes.”

I stared at Mardol dressed as a tree monster and she started talking to me.

“Is it okay to put fire magic in here? Mardol?”

“Yes. Ariel. Please.”

Rest. At that moment, blue flames rose. After confirming that the magic was over, Mardol tried to hand me the helmet again.

“Richt, stay here. It’s not hot.”

“..Ah.”

Flames sway inside the black helmet. My breath is choking. Seeing the fire moving like a dance brings memories of the past.

I thought it would be okay because it was definitely magic. Is there a difference between just looking and touching? A cold sweat broke out.

“..Licht?”

“Heo-eok.”

I am still afraid of fire. Mardol noticed that his legs were wobbly. My eyesight spins round and round.

“Licht, are you okay?”

“It’s okay..”

You just need to hold it. If you were this scared, you wouldn’t be able to save our saintess. She bit her molars hard and tried to shake off her fear.

“Hey, are you okay? What is the sweat under the helmet…!”

“Mr. Pugu! What’s the matter!”

Oops, I was caught by a couple of warriors too. Water was dripping from the part connecting the helmet and armor, as if someone had taken a shower.

“Licht.”

“Wait a minute…”

“Licht, if you’re scared, it’s okay not to do it.”

After that, the glass knight dressed as Quer took the helmet back into his arms. She is the one who carefully hugs her as if she is precious.

“I can lift it.”

I lived thanks to you. Barely breathing The feeling of drowning in a place without water is gone. She lowered her head and looked at the floor, calming her startled heart.

“Thank you. Mr. Mardol.”

“Then how do you dress up Dyurahan? Shouldn’t Rich be holding it?”

“It’s okay. I have a way.”

I wonder if I have a good idea. Mardol dispelled the floating magic from my face and tapped the forehead of the helm with his finger.

“Tell me. Licht. Are you okay now?”

“Oh, yes. Thanks to you… Huh?”

My voice began to be heard from the reserve helmet Mardol was holding after a slight delay, as if a speaker had been turned on.

“..Voice modulation magic.”

“Right. Smart.”

That’s the magic on the glass helmet. It sounded like it was talking in a cave, changing into a modulated, humming voice.

“Good job….”

As if I had gotten it right, Mardol inadvertently tried to stroke my hair. A hand decorated with a tree going up.

“Mr. Mardol?”

“Oh, sorry. Licht. I want to be cheering for something….”

Noticing something strange, she stopped moving unnaturally.

Maybe he was trying to cheer me up because of his reaction earlier, but he’s not even a puppy.

‘Unlike Lupus in the sequel, he’s a good person.’

I was tired and laughed out loud. The princess looked confused as she squeezed her little palm and then she opened it, wondering if she was even surprised.

“If this is the case, wouldn’t Mardol have to go out with Mr. Tugu..?”

It was then. The smart red cat put the flag first.

Well, can I break this? He was the one who noticed that I was afraid of fire and was considerate.

In this case, I didn’t want to be the one who repaid the favor with the enemy.

To be honest, I was very surprised. In reality, there are many people who look at evil with this point.

“Okay….”

“I am fine. Ariel.”

Before I could even speak, I got her confirmation, but let her do what she wants just this once.

If it hadn’t been for Mardol, it could have been a big deal. My heart is still beating like a hammer.

“..I believe in Richt.”

“…”

“Certainly out of shape. If it’s a durahan, but only the head is visible.”

It seems that the flag was established a bit excessively, but thinking about it from before, he was a person who even wanted to hand over the dragon heart for me.

It must be a good person. Hope you like me If Mardol had thought of me that way, the status window would have responded right away.

“Then, Mr. Kinel and Miss Ariel, please surprise people together..”

“Okay, Licht. Don’t work too hard today and get some rest.”

“Thank you.”

Because you have to raise the love level of the hero couple, this one will be a little easier. As the tension eased, fatigue set in. Should he sleep in the dormitory?

“..Licht.”

“Why is that? Mr. Mardol.”

“Do you want to eat this?”

It’s candy. Do you still have what you had from the last group assignment? I put on makeup, but I don’t know where they got it from.

“Thank you.”

Mardol staring at me. He handed him the candy, lifted the pack of noodles lightly, and rolled it in his mouth.

“..Ah. What a waste.”

“There is no way. hahahaha.”

I thought I wanted to see your face. Do you hate burn marks? My scars are a little special. I was seriously injured when I was young because I didn’t know.

As she took out the old nightmare and thought about it for a bit, her brows furrowed and the corners of her eyes narrowed. He was dizzy. It seems she still has a long way to go.

‘I don’t regret it, but….’

At that moment, a sweet taste lingered on the tip of her tongue. The sweetness of honey and sugar melted and permeated. It’s an item that restores stamina, so this is the first time I’ve actually tried it.

“..It is sweet. Thank you.”

“Yeah, I’m glad. Licht. It looks fine.”

It wasn’t a penny or two, so I wasn’t eating to give it to our saintess. It’s delicious. Candy put my worries aside for a while.

‘..Eh.’

The golden eyes of Mardol, who looked at me fortunately that I had found stability, looked pretty that day. It shouldn’t be like this. I must have been very surprised.

‘Hyogwanga on the swinging bridge.’

I still couldn’t stop the beating of my heart. Haven’t you calmed down? It must have looked that way because of an unexpected situation, like Cainel in the carriage.

It is absolutely not that I had other thoughts over the saintess.

“..Why? Richt?”

“Nothing.. Not..”

As I gulped down, the sweetness went over, and it seemed to melt into the atmosphere. It was a day to feel infinitely sorry for the nameless saintess.

‘To me, there is only the saintess. Soohyun Lee. Let’s come to our senses.’

I denied the thoughts that popped into my head because my hands were straining.

***

At the time when Richt was suffering, at a fountain in the Empire.

“..There is no way that the current Kainel will destroy my power.”

A gentleman wearing a monocle was flipping through a book and checking something on him.

“A new hero, a new hero…. The gods are in trouble again.”

A man holding a pen and writing something in a notebook as if he is dissatisfied.

“Hey, old man. Just pick up a penny..!”

“Hmm, something else?”

A man with his back bent to the side of the man appeared and begged. He looked like a wretched beggar in tattered rags.

“..Tom.”

“Oh, what? How do you know my name..?”

A man waving his hands as if chasing flying insects, as if he was not particularly inspired by such beggars.

“Well, there are ways.”

“Oh, old man, I don’t know how you know me, but please give me a penny..!”

Even after seeing that, the beggar did not back down. Then the gentleman raised his body with a troubled expression.

“Rather than begging, dig a fountain here.”

“..Yes? Why?”

“Because there must be a ‘treasure’ down there. Let’s have a snack with this and buy a shovel.”

Pointing to the ground with his finger, the man handed him a silver coin and moved on.

“Aigoo! Old man! Thank you!”

“Take care of yourself. Mr. Tom.”

The man holding the sparkling silver bowed his head and bowed to the gentleman as he walked away.

“..If you leave it as it is, you are a criminal who joins a band of robbers and kills people.”

Head Ake writes something in a notebook while walking down the street.

“I hope you will forgive me for this level of consideration. Mr. Tom.”

In the densely written note,

‘The 18th year of the imperial calendar. Around 01:00, Tom digs deep in the fountain and finds the treasure, then falls and dies while trying to climb up with it.’

The sentence

Was written in small letters.

“We are old friends.”

The Demon King of Battery trimmed his crooked clothes as if nothing had happened. He thought of it as trivial as dusting off.

“This time, there are two heroes….”

Putting the note back into his chest, Head headed for Grand Hearts Academy. There is an assumption as to who the person who undermined his authority was,

“Licht of the Black Knight class.”

His steps kept getting entangled.

“..No, no.”

At the moment, the sound of shoes popped out. It rang and the head stopped.

“Should I call you Lee Soo-hyun? That would be more accurate.”

After finishing the calculation, the corner of the demon king’s mouth went up a little. A gentleman in a black suit was approaching a summer festival.
