chapter 141
141 – Saint (1)
I blankly stared at the ceiling.
[Observer Ms. Message asks why she has such a bewildered face.]
“I want to die.”
[…] ? Everyone asks if it was a great performance and didn’t shed tears and runny nose with tremendous applause.]
“That’s why I want to die more.”
The first time I did makeup and dressing up, and until I went on stage, I was like, ‘Hey, this is also a memory! Gaza!’ I did it out of feeling, but after it was over, a sense of shame came over me, along with a sense of shame that made me want to know what I had done.
[The probability (B) of the face is the mind of the owner… I don’t want to help you with this, so you know how to handle it.]
‘Ah, please help me.’
I really wanted to hide in a mouse hole.
With a silent clamor, he covered his face with both hands.
Then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
“It was great… ”
I saw Wihorin, who had a faint smile and a thumbs up.
He let out a deep sigh once more with his two lively eyes shining brightly.
“It was really beautiful, Siu-yang! Last year, we lost to A-class every time, but this time, our S-class will definitely be #1 in popularity!”
As I looked ahead, I saw Seong Ga-yeon spinning around as if she was dancing, saying ‘Oh ho-ho~’ in delight.
He looked at her with cold eyes.
A voice from the corner immediately follows.
“… I want to die… ”
I saw Yuhana, who was crouching down and covering her face with both hands.
A face that was red from not being ripe enough to explode was poking out between the gaps in the palms that were covered.
“… it’s one great job… ”
“… Siwoo. shall we run away? No, have you stopped school for a while? yes?”
She looks at me with dead eyes.
‘For one person to say something like that… ‘
He patted me on the shoulder without saying a word. Even so, Yuhana can’t stop being depressed.
Watching the other two enjoying each other in their own imaginations, he quietly opened his mouth to her ear.
“… It was pretty. really.”
“… !”
She raises her head in shock at his words. His face flushed as red as his own, he scratched his head and looked away.
“… … ”
The girl who was watching put her head gently on his shoulder, smiling as if her feelings just now were a lie.
●
In many ways, the Ernelle Academy Festival, which was both enjoyable and shocking, came to an end.
Children who are slowly dissolving. I was starting to clean up after feeling the sunlight rising beyond dawn.
And far from there, deep in the mountains behind Ernel.
Two men and women were talking.
“Siwoo. I enjoyed the performance.”
“… it’s suho Can’t I just skip it… ?”
“I can’t do that. What a shock!”
Han Soo-ho put on a sinister expression and tapped my shoulder with his elbow.
I was tired all of a sudden…
‘Well, he doesn’t seem depressed.’
I wondered what to do if I spread the distance out of guilt, but fortunately, it seems to be Gifu.
“So I’m just teasing you like this… Why did you call this place? ah! no way… Are you going to give me an extra performance?”
“Um, not that… Suho, I have someone to show you.”
“to me?”
I looked at Suho’s suspicious expression and turned around.
“You can come out now.”
“… Where are you looking and talking? no sign… ”
She couldn’t finish talking.
Along with the cracked space, a vast aura that made the whole body feel terrifying.
It’s clear and clean, but that’s why Han Su-ho’s face hardened naturally at the strange and unpleasant sign.
“Siwoo… ”
“It’s fine. Because I am not an enemy.”
After talking, two women appear.
Her face changed to astonishment when she saw her wearing a pure white outfit and a necklace that symbolized the Allen Empire.
“… A saint?”
“I haven’t seen you in a long time. The hero, Han Su-ho.”
opponent who answers the question. She knew this voice.
A tall woman with dull white eyes and a short girl in contrast.
“… 1st Saint Chris, 8th Saint Artia.”
“I am honored that you remembered me.”
Chris held the hem of his robe with both hands to show his respect.
“… Siwoo, what the hell is this… ”
“Because we got to know each other, and somehow we were able to talk to the two of you.”
“… Kite?”
Han Soo-ho looked at the boy in front of him with suspicion.
However, he did not question anything about his smiling face as if to say not to worry.
“So, Yushi-sama. Are you going to proceed right now?”
“Yes, the sooner the better.”
Siwoo Yu explained what purpose they had come for.
Han Soo-ho listens to the story in silence.
“In other words, right now… ”
“Yeah, do you remember what we promised?”
She nodded at his words.
“Qualifications of a warrior.”
“Originally, I had to go all the way to the Allen Empire in Northern Europe, but… They said that it could be done in an informal way through the saintess. I just want it to go well.”
“I see.”
After being silent for a while, she slowly approached the saintess.
I could feel Chris’ eyes looking at me.
The saintess, who did not show any change in her emotions enough to doubt whether they were the same person, opened her mouth quietly.
“… It feels much more solid. Or should I say that I have become a little more relaxed.”
“Thank you, but… It doesn’t seem like you and I are going to share a good word like this.”
Artia frowns at Han Suho’s words. I was about to say something, but before I could, Chris raised a hand to stop me.
“It is exactly as you said. You probably knew it too. Regarding the disposition of the hero… ”
“… … ”
“That is the reason we came to Korea. However, the contents of the trust have recently changed. As a saint, I have an obligation to tell the hero about it.”
Chris cleared his throat and opened his mouth as if to listen carefully.
“The Goddess was very surprised that you were out of your mind. And if you haven’t lost your qualifications, he told me to continue serving as a hero.”
“so that… You don’t have to give up your qualifications.”
At those words, Han Suho closed his eyes for a moment. A number of thoughts ran through her mind.
However, during the formal sparring, while competing with Yu Si-woo… When she met her father, she came to a realization.
That I don’t deserve it… That I had to do something about my own weakness.
“Thank you for the words, but… For me now, the name of a warrior is a very heavy burden. Even if you keep it like this, it’s obvious that you won’t be able to handle it and will be swung around again. so that… I want to lay down that duty for a while.”
When I turned my head, I saw Yu Si-woo looking at me with a smile.
Thanks to that gaze, she. He raised his gaze as if promising.
“… I’m not a warrior now… I just want to move forward as a person named Han Soo-ho.”
“… I understand if that’s what you mean. Could you give me your hand?”
Han Su-ho shows the back of his hand at her words.
Before long, a low chant resonated through the saintess’ lips.
A vast amount of divine power spread around her, causing ripples.
A holy woman who perfectly controls the torrent of enormous power.
Han Soo-ho burst into admiration at the operation method of power, which is suitable for the word representative of the Allen Empire.
Soon, the bright light went out and something began to be engraved on the back of his hand.
There was a pattern that looked like a chain wrapped around it, and a lock was drawn right in the middle.
“With this, the qualifications of the hero of the time, Han Su-ho, were sealed.”
“… Wait. Is it a seal? Isn’t it payback?”
“Yes, it is sealed. Did you really think it would be excommunicated? There is no warrior prepared except you. That’s why it’s just a matter of putting a seal on it so that the Goddess’ revelation won’t pass through. If you are ready to do so, please release it.”
“… Anytime I want?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Han Suho frowned as he looked at the saintess in front of him.
Something that’s very inconvenient for you.
Suspicion arose.
I thought I would definitely give it to a new hero candidate as soon as I retrieved my qualifications… just sealed?
It’s also a form that you can solve when you want.
“What the hell are you up to… ”
“Until here, we have been delayed too much. I have to go back to my country soon. I hope to part with a good meeting.”
Chris’s attitude is obvious.
Suho Han frowned at the dubious sensation.
I couldn’t go on like this. At least I had to figure out what the opponent’s intentions were.
Even if it’s only because you’ve conceded a hundred times that you’re only hurting yourself… There was no way that the pope, who had obscene desires, and he, the saintess who was the pope’s subordinate, could be passed over so favorably.
It will definitely have a bad effect on Ernel. whether it be students or faculty.
She forced herself forward to speak.
But sooner than that, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Suho. Thank you for keeping your promise.”
“… … ”
A boy looking at himself. She was able to notice it later when she saw his face.
From the sudden appearance of a saintess in this empty back mountain, to all the circumstances that flowed into a good story… That he had made some sort of deal with the saintess…
And surely it must be for the people around you.
A throbbing heart arose. I wanted to ask right away if he was so obedient because of what he promised to hand over.
But he didn’t deserve it. And if so…
‘If it’s Siwoo… He must have made a much better choice than I did.’
“… Of course you promised.”
She swallows all emotions.
Eventually, he silently nodded at his request to go down first.
