chapter 137
Side story. Lilith 5 years later -4
“Ssibbeol… ! “I’m going to die like this!”
Documents piled up on the table.
The mountains of paper divided into the left and right, like the two major mountains, were payment documents related to the guild and academy, respectively.
Oriha, the guild master and academy chairman who had to take care of everything, died today.
Moreover, her secretary, who was assisting her, was on a business trip to a foreign country for her academy dual training camp.
She had to handle all her work alone.
‘No matter how hard I work, seeing as I’ve shrunk to the size of a booger, I’m sure I’ll be working overtime today.’
Oriha keeps swearing and doesn’t let go of her hands.
She was sipping her cold black coffee and was about to pick up the next document.
She suddenly stopped her hand and turned her gaze towards the door.
Kkiik-!
As if her senses were alive, the door to the chairman’s office opened and someone entered.
“Some kind of swollen bastard didn’t even dare to knock on the chairman’s office…” ….. Uh?”
“Hey! Long time no see. “I’m working hard today too.”
“You, you…” !”
The face of a man I could never forget
Oriha’s face couldn’t help but be distorted as she was still going through all sorts of hardships due to that person.
“You bastard, I met you well!”
Oriha jumped up from his seat and grabbed Han Se-yoon by the collar.
With eyes full of resentment.
“Uh-huh! “Why is this happening all of a sudden?”
“Do you know how hard it was for me because of you?”
“I know.”
“Yes, of course you don’t know…” … What?”
Oriha looked at Han Se-yoon with a dumbfounded look at the answer that was different from what she expected.
Anyway, he was casually picking his nose with his little finger.
“I know.”
“Don’t lie! “What are you!”
“Creator God.”
“Damn… !”
But Oriha’s words did not last until the end.
A card was magically held in Han Se-yoon’s palm.
There was a familiar person drawn on the card.
“Yes, how did you get that card…” ?”
“I just said, you are the creator god. As a being who creates new cards, I am always watching the flow of the world.”
“Was it a true story? ?”
“The card name is Magicsmith Sub Master Mimir. It is a talent that her master, Oriha, cherishes to hand over the position of her next master. Although she has not yet announced it to the public, she will introduce it to the world within the next year and hand over the position of her master to her. “Is it planned?”
As soon as she heard Han Se-yoon’s explanation, her mouth widened and she was astonished.
Not only were the stories he mentioned all true, but he knew no one but himself.
Nevertheless, Han Se-yoon knew the detailed story, which suggests one thing.
He is the creator god.
“I heard that the generation of the creator god was replaced. Could it have been you?!”
“That’s right. To be exact, it wasn’t a generational change, but something that was passed on…….”
Han Se-yoon, Oriha, was given a position he did not want by the Creator God, and a strange sense of kinship developed between the two.
Even so, it seemed unlikely that the two would become close.
“Anyway, if you show up like this, I have no choice but to shed tears and dispose of this card that hasn’t even been born yet.”
“Pfft…” !”
“So you know? “If you don’t want to extend your master’s position, you had better behave yourself.”
This means that if you don’t like it, you will get rid of the support card.
Oriha had no choice but to let go of the hand she was holding on to.
Although he thought it was the position of the creator god, that authority was very sweet to Han Se-yoon.
“So, why did our creator god Nari come to the academy? “If you are here to take over the position of chairman, I will sincerely welcome you.”
“Don’t say horrible things. “Work is hard right now, so why should I suffer for it?”
“Then what did you come for?”
“…… “I came to see the face I missed after a long time.”
“You came to see that child?”
“I can’t call you a child anymore, though.”
The evilness faded from Han Se-yoon’s face, and a compassionate smile took its place.
Five years have already passed since the replacement of the Creator God took place.
In the meantime, Han Se-yoon had to devote all his time to checking the situation in the duel world and creating new cards.
At the same time, I checked the cards I was connected to, and of course Lilith was included in the list.
“That child wasted two years trying to meet you.”
“I know.”
“Why have you never met me?”
“Of course, that was the busiest time. “The power of the new card was such that it had a negative impact on the world, so I couldn’t sleep properly while adjusting it.”
“Still, 10 minutes… No, you can spare about 5 minutes, right?”
“I’m sorry, but a continent could have been destroyed in just 5 minutes.”
Recently, the power balance of the card has been significantly damaged.
As powerful new cards were created to differentiate the existing duel, the balance was lost.
To prevent over-balanced themes, new monster themes are created.
To prevent that theme, another monster was born.
A series of imbalances in which classic cards are losing their positions one after another.
Han Se-yoon almost wanted to go back to the original world and argue with the developers who made the cards.
“Then how were you able to come this time?”
“It was temporarily blocked. Cards flowing in from an external dimension.”
“Is that okay?”
“Honestly, it’s hard. Still, I managed to adjust the balance, so I took the time. “It will soon be opened against my will, so I will have to go back.”
Even the creator god could not defy the flow of time.
Nevertheless, he came to see someone while using the power of the Creator God to its fullest.
I could tell who that person was without having to explain it in words.
“Then you should have gone to that child right away.”
“I plan to do that even if you don’t tell me. “He just stopped by here briefly to appreciate your hard work.”
“You’re shameless for being the one who handed over this position to me.”
“Ahahahahaha!”
Looking at Han Se-yoon leaving with a cheerful smile, Oriha raised her middle finger.
No matter what she said, he was an obnoxious guy to her.
Just didn’t ignore it like before.
***
5 Years.
It was neither short nor long.
But it may have been a long time for Lilith.
How will she react when she sees me?
Should we be purely happy?
Why are you blaming me for only coming now?
Or should I shed tears from the overwhelming emotions?
Even now that I have become the almighty God of Creation, there are still things I cannot understand.
“Teacher Lilith! “I have a question!”
“Me too!”
“Hey! “I’ve been waiting for you since a while!”
He is unable to hide his embarrassed expression while being surrounded by young duelists.
That delicate girl who was so scared of people that she trembled suddenly became a beloved leader.
I was proud of the girl’s growth, but also sad at the same time.
‘Did I leave too early…? ?’
After seeing her Lilith, I felt regretful that I didn’t spend time with her when she was younger.
I should have made Lilith laugh like the kids do now…….
I felt a little guilty even though I knew it was just a meaningless regret.
“Ah… !”
Just as she was scratching the back of her head, a short scream was heard.
When she raised her head, she made eye contact with Lilith.
You recognized me first and responded to me.
Well, ever since I became a creator, my time has been fixed for the past 5 years.
It was the same as it was back then, so it would be strange not to recognize it.
“Oh, hello Lilith.”
I waved my hand awkwardly with a hesitant body.
I feel like I’m going to die of embarrassment.
It’s been a while since we met, and the first words I said were goodbye…….
Even though it came out of my own mouth, I honestly felt like an asshole.
Meanwhile, Lilith stood still and just looked at my face.
It seems like the shock was great because it was an unexpected reunion.
Her children also looked at me and her alternately, revealing their hostility and wariness towards me.
I think Lilith was mistaken as the person who hurt her.
“Teacher. “Who is that person?”
“He looks suspicious just by looking at him!”
“I need to call the security guard.”
“Guys.”
It was a time when the children were ready to kick me out.
Lilith’s mouth, which had been tightly closed, opened and a soft word flowed out.
The children who had been making a fuss just now became quiet and began to listen to her.
“Although the card theory class scheduled for today afternoon is unexpected, I will change it to a field trip.”
“A field trip?”
“Yes. “The person standing over there and the teacher will have a duel.”
“Who is that person?”
“Teacher’s precious person.”
“Are you stronger than me, teacher?”
“Yes, you are much stronger than me.”
With just one word, the children who had been hostile until just now began to look at me with sparkling eyes.
This probably means that the children’s trust in Lilith is high.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was almost at the level of a fanatic.
“Are you okay?”
“Huh? Ugh, it doesn’t matter.”
“Thank you. “Then I’ll see you later this afternoon!”
When I suddenly accepted her duel request, Lilith responded with a bright smile and left.
“Yeah, right…” .”
Unlike what she had expected, her reaction was very simple.
Lilith was not happy, sad, or even angry and behaved as usual.
My touching reunion with her ended up leaving me embarrassed.
“What does that action mean?”
Was it embarrassing?
When I was wondering what Lilith was thinking, my eyes suddenly turned to the floor.
Transparent water droplets that cannot be seen unless you look closely.
It was sparsely connected from where Lilith stood to where she left.
For some reason, I felt like I saw it on the bed often.
