NOVEL NEXT chapter 226
226 – 227. Leah Apologizes to Humans.
Disposition has been handed down on Leah.
[‘Oracle’ has arrived]
[God—Hera: Please trust me just once.]
“…Huh?”
A stupid thing that came out without me even realizing it.
But I couldn’t hold back the noise as I couldn’t even imagine that this would result.
‘You probably saw it all.’
Although we don’t know when time was cut off and fell into infinite regression, we will know what happened after that.
So, at the very least, he must have intuited the scene where he tried to do whatever he wanted to Ms. Theia and then turned the knife on me, even though he was a familiar.
Nevertheless, saying this means
Pride as a god
Either that, or I left it there because I thought I really needed it.
And maybe, but if I dare to guess…
“Is it because it’s difficult to retrieve it?”
[The Lord—Hera:…]
Silence.
Perhaps this was the correct answer.
‘I’ve seen a few people so far.’
I thought it would be great because he was the main god.
But when you look at it, what is it?
Should we say that God’s standards and human standards are different?
The work was all sloppy and strangely clumsy.
If it was a step of God, including that part, I would like to fold it neatly and decline, but it seems that once the product has been sleeved, it cannot be returned.
“Then…Yes, I understand.”
Leah does not kill.
“I will ‘store’ it well.”
[Hera: …I’m sorry.]
A trust where only sincerity can be felt, devoid of dignity, honor and all else.
I decided not to worry about too much work anymore and got up from my seat and wiped my knees.
It was a decision that was made in the end, so there was nothing I could do about it. I should live without worrying as much as possible.
The good news among all the misfortunes was that Mai was completely bound under me and that I could trust the agape that Sister Ur had given me.
─Wow…
“Yeah. No.”
Kronos’ scythe, Skyte, trembled slightly.
He says he’s okay now that he’s under my control, but honestly, I think it would be enough if he gave me the back of his head twice.
‘If I go to the Hephaestus Guild, will they change it somehow?’
If you can’t decide, one of the ways was to ask the local god through Ur sister.
I took a small breath as the problem was finally sorted out──
─Suddenly!
“…Hah?”
The wardrobe door suddenly opened.
And beyond. A child coming down to the ground with light steps.
“…It’s done.”
“Is that so?”
“Oh?”
Leah.
I don’t know what they did.
“Then go back.”
“!,Sleep…Ugh…!”
I grabbed the nape of the neck and lifted it up.
I put it in the closet as is.
“…”
“…Haa.”
There is no resistance.
I just quietly bow my head.
It’s like, ‘I know I did something wrong.’
No, it’s not ‘the same’.
“I’m sorry… “
“Do more.”
“…I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
“Okay.”
I know you know.
I spoke to Leah, who bowed at a 90 degree angle and apologized.
“So what?”
“..?”
“What should I do?”
“Sleep──!!”
He was imprisoned again through the cracks of time.
It’s good that you realized your mistake.
But that is that and this is this.
‘If we are released like this, there will be chaos again.’
If you’re going to let me go just because I regretted my mistake and shed tears, then why is Kkamang there and why is there Jaebeom?
I closed the closet door again and made a chain out of it and locked it.
I’ve done this, but I guess it won’t come out.
“Oppa. The food is ready.”
“Already? Time flies.”
Mai calls me to eat.
I followed him and sat down, and dinner today was kimchi stew with spam.
“It’s not delivered?”
“If you keep eating delivered food, it’s not good for your health.”
“Still… “
Rather than eating delivered food because it’s delicious
That’s because they only make things that you can’t eat unless it’s delivered food.
They say I’m the one who cooks for myself, but I can’t imagine Minerva, who was a rich girl, being able to cook.
When she was suspicious of the unbelievable quality that Minerva made, Mai, who sat next to her, helped explain.
“Meal kits are popular these days.”
“Ah.”
“Put ramen soup in there.”
“That’s it.”
I understood.
It’s actually a finished product.
‘Mom’s taste was actually factory-made.’
The taste was literally delicious.
Should I say that it is a taste that has already been proven?
There are also side dishes provided by Teia earlier, so you can have a pleasant meal──
“…”
“..What are you doing?”
─There was none.
Leah came out again.
I’m sure you must have locked the door with Squitte earlier, right?
She quickly went into her room and found that the side of the closet was torn.
I wonder if the expression ‘torn’ is correct for the wooden closet, but the wall was literally torn.
“…Ha…”
Does that mean it can’t be locked up normally?
Should I make the squite into a chain and wrap it around it?
No. And if the same thing happens again…
“I did it wrong.”
“…”
Leah apologizes again.
This time, instead of just bending down, I put my forehead to the ground.
A sign of complete surrender. The meaning of apology.
“I’ll never do something like this again…”
“…Haaa.”
I sat down on the edge of the bed and asked, hearing a voice that even contained tears.
“Tell me honestly. Are you doing this because you know what you did was really wrong, or are you doing it because you feel embarrassed about your situation in front of me?”
“…”
Do not answer.
I didn’t really want an answer.
‘Probably the latter.’
Isn’t that because I’m really sorry?
People don’t change easily, but I don’t think Leah will change easily.
They’re probably doing it to avoid the immediate situation.
“Oppa… “
“If I try to cover you, you go with me.”
“…”
Mai followed me from behind.
He subtly stopped Leah from standing in front of her.
Still. Mai stops on the spot and stares at me.
There was a hint of desire to protect Leah and her her family her in her her eyes her her her, but it wasn’t ‘this’.
“I gave you many chances.”
But it was Leah who ruined that opportunity.
I didn’t want my trust betrayed anymore.
“I’m at my limit now.”
Hera says I won’t kill you, but I certainly won’t kill you.
That’s the least I can do. The line of the lowest point.
I was about to reach out to Leah again.
“…Is this…A mistake?”
“Huh?”
“Leisure, I’m asking if it’s so wrong for me to do it for you.”
“…”
This time I resisted.
It was not physical or armed resistance.
Just raise your head straight towards me and shout.
‘Look at this.’
You cannot realize what you have done.
That’s why I couldn’t release Leah.
“Let’s go in without talking.”
“I am…I am…!”
“…Hmm?”
“I just did it for you…!”
Ugh…
Hmm, black…!
“Because…What’s the problem…!”
“What do you dislike so much that you treat me so harshly?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know. No matter how much you think about it, what you don’t know is what you don’t know!”
“Wow…”
Leah dripping juice.
On the contrary, the words spoken were exactly Leah-like words.
It’s selfish. You only know yourself. Having only one’s own point of view.
A collection of self-consciousness that is just extreme.
“You don’t even think about the harm you’ve done to other people, right?”
“So…Why on earth are other humans!…Humans…Humans…”
“..?”
He takes a step towards me as if he’s about to shout, but then slowly lowers his head.
“Human… Yes. Human. Because we are human…”
He was human.
That’s because we’re human.
Leah asked me as she lowered her head, putting the words in her mouth.
“What will you forgive me if I do something?”
“You want to negotiate with me? Oh, that’s okay. I trust you to negotiate.”
“I’m saying I want to be forgiven.”
“No need.”
“…”
So let’s just go in.
I forcefully grabbed Leah and lifted her up.
A face covered in tears.
It may look pitiful on the outside, but there was no mercy as I was fooled by that face more than once or twice.
[Emergency Mission]
[Last Chance]
-This is an emergency mission given by Hermes
1. Watch one more time.(0/1)
2. Trust one more time.(0/1)
3. Really, really, just trust me one more time. (0/1)
Reward: [Preemptive]
“…?”
However, it seems that heaven has not abandoned Leah yet.
He looks very desperate and struggles to save his life.
“Albanga.”
But it didn’t work for me anymore.
How many times have you trusted that one thing and tried to get stabbed in the back?
Humans are also capable of learning.
It can be said that the time to go wild and focus on the rice cake in front of you has passed.
[‘Oracle’ has arrived]
[The Lord—Hermes: Really?]
“…”
I grabbed the back of Leah’s neck.
Leah no longer resisted.
Eyes that are completely dead. Eyes that have given up on resisting.
[Lord Hermes: Hero, don’t you feel sorry for Leah?]
“…”
It seems like there is one more reason to keep Leah incarcerated.
[The Lord—Hermes: The knight deserved it because he suffered such a thing! But giving just one more chance…
..Ahhh! Okay! Stop! Stop! I’m having a really hard time now!]
“What do you mean it’s difficult?”
Leah was thrown into her closet.
Let’s seal it as soon as possible and do the repairs later.
Let’s make a chain and surround it. Hermes spoke to the oracle again.
[Main God—Hermes: The power of Kronos. You haven’t digested it all yet, have you?]
“…”
The hand that was wrapping the chain stopped.
It would be foolish to ask, “How do you know?”
As he slowly turned his head toward the oracle, Hermes whispered to me.
[Jinshin─Hermes: 1 piece.]
“…Huh.”
I slowly bent down towards Leah.
“Leah. It’s your last chance.”
“…?”
Empty eyes.
Look up at me.
“Apologise to Ms. Theia. Then I will think about it.”
“…”
Leah quietly closed her eyes at my words.
A trembling body. A look of concern.
Still, Leah probably won’t be able to do it.
Because Theia is a ‘human’.
There’s no way Leah could bow down to a mere ‘human’.
I quietly looked down at Leah without any expectations.
“I’m sorry…”
[Yes? Eh, e…]
“I was wrong…”
[…
“…?”
Leah apologized.
I apologized to ‘humans’.
…I spent that night with my eyes open, wondering if I might return.
As an aside
[Main God─Hermes: Kronos’ power can be solved by becoming close to Rhea!]
“As expected.”
[Main God─Hermes:?]
“Leah. It’s actually Kronos, right?”
[God-Hermes:…Isn’t it? Isn’t that it?]
“It’s going to spin, really.”
What on earth do you want from me?
