28 – Revival-11

“He said he could send it back… even tomorrow.”

I knew better than anyone that the Farseer was the greatest wizard.

But I didn’t want to be in debt to her, and there was nothing good about knowing the secret that I was a hero. There was no guarantee that time would be shortened if she intervened in a spell that was already in progress.

However, if my return could be accelerated even a little, that was a manageable problem.

“that is…”

“If you’re saying that just to call me out, I’m sure you’ll be… disappointed.”

“Oh, no! There must have been a momentary misunderstanding. I thought you wouldn’t want to go back like this…”

“Isn’t it obvious? What have you done to me…”

She was embarrassed, but still delighted.

not bad. No matter what she did to me, now the mage was a helpful human being.

Having the same meaning wasn’t bad. Seeing as she was trying to please me, she must have wanted something from me too, but she might have given up on it now.

“In ten days…”

“Ten days?”

My expression contorted a little. I thought I could go back right away, but it wasn’t much different from the time the emperor promised.

Considering that the mage was a different being from ordinary mages, it was a rather disappointing harvest.

“Four, three days!”

“That’s… sure fast.”

Judging by the look in her eyes, it didn’t look like she was going to ruin the ritual.

At least, the wizard has been afraid of me ever since he knew I was a hero.

“Even, I wanted to go back. Ha, I was foolish. Yes, it’s been years since I’ve seen my family and friends, so I guess I’ll miss you.”

“…”

“Didn’t I promise to do everything I can for you?”

The magician’s laughter seemed artificial and crude, but as long as she kept her word, I could laugh too.

Every day was boring, every day was painful.

now i just want to go back I have devoted myself fully to this world.

If I have to stay here any longer, it will only make the people here suffer, and I will suffer too.

“Choi, I’ll prepare it as soon as possible! Even now…”

Still, I was a little relieved. It’s a comfortable life that can’t be compared to the demon lord’s extermination, but it wasn’t happy.

since when The time when this world no longer seemed interesting and I began to think that I would “endure” day by day.

“Wh… what do you mean? Leaving?”

“It’s none of your business, Celia.”

The wizard coldly cut off the saintess’ words.

“Where are you going, do you need the wizard’s magic? Isn’t it Youngji? Is it far away?”

“A place we’ll never see again.”

“Oh no…”

I glared at the wizard with cold eyes.

“Did you come with me?”

“No, it’s just an uninvited guest. Celia, go. I’ll explain later.”

“Oh, no. We can’t part like this. We traveled together. We have to meet again and reconcile…”

I didn’t like it. I hated seeing her. I wish everyone would just leave me alone.

“Are you saying that we should come and reconcile now, saintess?”

“Even if not right away, if you’re angry later… Don’t, wizard! Cancel that statement right away! Cancel it!”

It was funny. How long do you think we’ve been traveling together?

If it was anger that would simply be resolved over time, I would have tried to reconcile first.

I didn’t want to say anything bad, but I didn’t have the strength to choose my words anymore.

“That’s strange. Saint lady, you weren’t that afraid until recently. Did my departure become something that shouldn’t happen? Who thinks so?”

I don’t expect her to realize it on her own. Even this would not be her perfect intention.

“That, that’s…”

The saintess’ voice became quieter as if she had hit the mark. She doesn’t like me, to the point where she can scream at me.

“She must be a goddess. Again, again, again a goddess. A goddess when killing people, a goddess when cursing people, a goddess when criticizing people, a goddess when protecting people.”

“…”

Even if her words were true, I couldn’t give her any more chances.

“Go away. Before you get angry more.”

“I’ll definitely reconcile. I’ll apologize until I can reach my heart…”

The saintess ran away in tears. I closed the door again.

Celia returned to the cathedral alone. The steps on the ground were heavy.

“You, too, were… heavy?”

It was stupid. It was stupid. She, who should serve others at the lowest level than anyone else, joined in hurting someone.

He was right. The reason the saintess realized her mistake was because of the guidance of the goddess.

However, it was half wrong. It wasn’t the voice she could hear, but the feelings of the goddess she had written down as if screaming.

should have known More than she couldn’t stand it, he couldn’t stand it either. It’s just, to be patient.

“It’s stupid…”

Never, never did I hear the voice of the goddess. Feeling impatient, she looked for a way, and eventually pulled out the diary she had been using before.

It is a crumpled diary she wrote when she was an ordinary child, when she couldn’t hear the voice of God.

Because of her status, she couldn’t get proper paper and pens, so she used to write in her diary with discarded paper and dirt that barely gave off a black light.

When she was young, she wrote down her dreams, hopes, and daily life, and someone who visited at night wrote down warm comfort and impressions.

Now that she has become a saint, she knows that she is a goddess, but it has been quite a while since she has not kept a diary.

Because she was a saint who could communicate with the goddess without any means.

However, the diary she reopened not too long ago contained the goddess’ desperate screams.

It was written with her feelings, crying out why she was bothering him and asking him to stop. The diary is in the cathedral, even though the goddess knows she won’t see it.

For several pages, the wrath, hatred, resignation, and cries of the gods were densely written. As if if you don’t let it out, you can’t survive.

And at the end, there was a word written in an apparently different font.

-hi?

“What are you doing?”

Contrary to her cold and indifferent tone of voice, the princess’ actions were full of anger.

Farseer, who was grabbed by the neck by the princess who rushed over, snorted.

“Ha, you don’t have any respect for elders anymore?”

“Leave him alone. This is an order.”

“That’s very dangerous, kid. Can’t you please look at it from a bigger perspective?”

The sorceress snapped her hand once and escaped her grip.

“It’s such a waste of magic to use in a place like this. It’s already been a few seconds since I’m trying to answer you, Eleanor.”

The place where the wizard was standing was a huge basement. By drawing her own blood, she was controlling the changes that would occur if she intervened in this magic.

“It is the property of His Majesty. The property of the Imperial Family cannot be used at will…”

“I received permission. Of course, I would have done it even if I hadn’t.”

“why!”

“Because we have to send the hero back.”

Farseer, who glared at the magic circle for a while, finally raised his head.

From now on, I didn’t want to reinforce the magic circle with a wavering mind. Every single ingredient was valuable.

“Hey, Archmage? Wait a minute, the priests are calling…”

One of the wizards who participated in the ceremony called out to her while looking at her eyes. Farseer waved his hand as if it was annoying.

“Tell them I’ll be leaving soon. Just tell them quickly what your feelings are.”

“Anxiety, fear, hope, victory, gratitude, in that order.”

As befits a reverse summoning ceremony that marks the end of the demon king’s extermination, the emotions that go into it describe the hero’s journey.

“Okay. I’ll take care of my business, you go back.”

“However…”

“Then, why don’t you try to convince this woman?”

When Farseer pointed at Eleanor in annoyance, the wizard bowed his head deeply and went back.

“So, what are you talking about?”

“…Now it doesn’t matter anyway.”

“What?”

Eleanor turned her back coldly, as if she had lost interest.

“I know your eyes. You, with those eyes, have not been persuaded by anyone.”

Eleanor knew from experience. Farseers in that state do not see others as human beings. Even if you listen to someone’s words, you respect their thoughts and don’t try to converge their opinions.

It was just that everything was a problem. It was her purpose to solve the ‘problem’ of that person not listening to me at all costs. Having a conversation with the expectation that the other person will listen is itself, to each other. In particular, it was a serious damage to the wizard who wasted time.

“Well, if you go back quietly, it’ll be comfortable for me.”

“You didn’t even intend to listen to other people’s words in the first place.”

“Thank you for realizing it so quickly. It wasn’t worth listening to.”

“…you will pay for it.”

“We’ll talk about that later. If we can’t draw this magic circle now, we’ll have to give up another day.”

Farseer fixed his gaze on the magic circle again, not looking at the returning Eleanor. Fatigue and tension gripped her, but a soft smile lingered on her lips.

Anyway, she succeeded.

The porter, who thought it was a huge magic bomb, is trying to return to his hometown on his own feet.

At worst, she risked the existence of the Empire to calm him down, and if that was impossible, she risked everything to send him back.

However, the bomb was unexploded.

“It’s true, people’s hearts are so cunning. Things have become so wasteful of materials.”

Even the magic materials she poured into this place were expensive, even if they were a little less than those of the imperial family.

Her research will be delayed by 20 years. She thought that she had earned enough magic materials by defeating the demon lord, but in the end, she only suffered losses.

“Well, I can’t help it.”

The Farseer crushed the ancient golem’s blue essence from his hand and sprinkled the powder on the magic circle.

It’s an inefficient way to spend 20 years for a week, but it was ultimately a faster way compared to the gains and losses.

Despite all the hardships, she succeeded. You have succeeded in dealing with the hero.

There was no chance that the magic would fail now. She got everyone’s permission, and she was able to control unexpected situations with her magic.

Farseer gave a satisfied smile.
