232 – Pain (5)
Because of the snout of chaos, I had doubts about whether I would be able to explain well, but fortunately, that was unfounded.
I guess I felt something was strange, so I hurriedly came up with an additional explanation. Anyway, more explanation was needed.
Anyway, after hearing all the explanations from Luna, I had only one thought.
From Noble mtl dot com
“······Is that real?”
“Yes.”
“Without lies? Without exaggeration?”
“I told you exactly what the saint said. It’s true.”
This is absurd and embarrassing. What on earth happened to this body?
It is absurd that a devil who cannot give birth to descendants has descendants, but their true identity is this body.
It was understandable that the demons had been quiet for hundreds of years and then ran rampant at some point. Since his motive was clear, he must have acted quickly.
Of course, that’s it. It’s not like there aren’t some parts I don’t understand. First of all, how does the saint, Rize, know these things?
‘In Soul World, it’s clear…’
I remembered Rize’s actions in Soul World. As one of the devil’s opponents, she is a strong helper.
A person who is no different from a hard counter to demons based on strong divine power.
But there is something incongruous about Rize being related to the owner of this body.
‘Anything but the details…’
I couldn’t remember very well. Now that we meet like this, Rize is close to a legendary Pokémon.
She provides great help every time she appears, but she is rarely incorporated into the story.
I tend to advocate neutrality unless it is a devil-related situation in the first place. It is truly a decisive battle weapon against demons.
‘······I don’t know. ‘What happens?’
I racked my brain. The deeper I dig, the more my head hurts.
Still, one thing is certain. There is something hidden in this body, and Rize knows it well.
Also, Gaia, who is revered as the goddess of life, has a dirty side. For some reason, there was no answer from the temple.
‘I’m just a person from Earth.’
This is the part I don’t understand the most. I was living a normal life on Earth when I was suddenly taken in.
I was also infuriated, but the relationships involved in this body were so complicated. My memories seem to be all mixed up.
Every time I came into contact with divine power, especially Gaia’s divine power, my brain reacted. Memories that seemed to have been forcibly blocked came pouring out.
‘If I ask Rize, she won’t give me a proper answer… And there’s nothing I can do right now.’
There is no problem with the Gaia Church dispatching to interrogate us in the near future. As Luna said, if you show me the lightning from the Gulag, it’s over.
But if you still don’t believe it… You’ll have no choice but to rely on Chaos. Unlike other people, I cannot use divine power directly.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s strange. Rize is definitely…’
The reason why Rize was active as an anti-demon decisive weapon is the same as mine. When she unleashes her fist containing her divine power, her demon melts.
It literally melts, not metaphorically. Even demons of indigo or higher can leave big scars.
And I am receiving divine power consistently and my body is fine. Only Gaia’s divine power caused a rejection reaction.
‘Erica also accepted chaos because she is using Gaia’s divine power…Um…’
I tilted my head to the side because I felt like I was missing something. What did I miss?
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing in particular came to mind. The relationship between the owner of this body and Rize. And divine power.
‘It’s a real contradiction.’
The situation seems to be getting more complicated because not much has been clearly revealed. It would be best to leave this part at ease.
For now, let’s do what we have to do until the Gaia Church arrives. I put aside my worries and asked Luna.
“Luna.”
“Yes. Tell me.”
“How many days has it been?”
“You collapsed? Not even a day has passed.”
“Really?”
If it’s unexpected, it’s unexpected. Usually, when I faint, I lie down like I’m dead for at least a day.
He even complained of pain after being hit by Gaia’s divine power. It was a dangerous moment both physically and mentally.
Nevertheless, seeing as he woke up quickly, it would be appropriate to say he ‘adapted’. Apart from the pain, the body recovers very quickly.
“Ah. And don’t tell this story to anyone else. The saint said it’s still too early.”
“Okay.”
“Do you have any more questions? I think you have a lot of questions.”
I stared at Luna. Her innocent face caught my eye.
If you think about it, it’s strange that Rize only told Luna. Where on earth did she see her and let me know her secret?
Rize alone knew too much, and she didn’t even reveal the secret properly. She just holds it all by herself like a treasure chest.
‘Could this also be related to Chaos?’
It’s not like there’s no possibility. Rather, it should be considered high.
I stared at Luna and drew out her answer.
“Nothing.”
“Nothing?”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
There really is none. Of course, it’s not because I really don’t have it, it’s because I think it would be better to ask the person directly.
It was clear that even if I asked Luna, I would only get an ambiguous answer. She doesn’t know the situation completely either.
It is better not to know as it could only cause unnecessary confusion. What I will do is continue the story in some way.
I think we should also consider our relationship with Rize. Until now, I was afraid of her and avoided her, but not anymore.
You have to actively get closer to what Rize will say. I am carrying quite a heavy load.
“If there isn’t anything, there’s nothing to say… But there really isn’t anything, right?”
“Yes. None.”
“Okay. Oh, and the saint said this.”
“What?”
“Uh… Ah, no. It would be meaningless to tell you.”
No. Why do you stop talking when people are curious? That snout is always a problem.
It is very suspicious that they just ripped off Chaos’s mouth and stuck it there.
However, I was not chosen by Chaos. Wouldn’t Luna be the true chaos?
‘Isn’t there something about this guy too? ‘I can’t believe my eyes right now.’
Luna is the main character who acts as a blessed being. She is a character full of talent and grows as she overcomes crises and hardships.
In Soul World, it was thought that it was natural for her to have special abilities. Because she is no one else and she is the main character.
But she was chosen by her teacher, and the reason she fluttered her snout in a strange way.
If she is miraculous, she is a miraculous being. A being close to chaos in a different way than I am.
“Then take a good rest. I’ll go outside for a bit and come back.”
“Can’t I be discharged from the hospital?”
“Of course not. You can rest well today and be discharged tomorrow.”
I feel a little anxious about tomorrow. We don’t know right now when Dan Ye-rin will be assassinated.
Now that the fight is over, Dan Yerin must have met with people from the East by now.
After that meeting, her eastern allies will use her tactics to assassinate her.
Lee Yeon-ju is also included here. If you think about it, she too was taken advantage of by the snake.
‘You’ll try it at dawn, right? The problem is that it could be today…’
How can we protect Dan Ye-rin from the threat of her assassination? If you stay here, you may miss the opportunity.
It is also frustrating to have to rest for a day. In my heart, I wanted to escape from here.
‘Um… Should I sneak out at dawn? ‘I can’t sleep anyway.’
It was about time I thought about that.
[Faith rises!]
“?”
What happened again?
******
When Sivar was resting in her hospital room, Luna headed toward her companions who had left before her.
People who went out to harass Erica from her group. But when I went outside, Erica was not there.
Instead, there was only Ellie, who seemed to have come in a huff after hearing the news. As soon as she saw Luna, she asked urgently.
“Si, what about Sivar? Sivar is okay?!”
“It’s okay. I’ve come to my senses now. My body seems to have recovered.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Whew… I’m glad… I was surprised to hear that Sibar fell again…”
After hearing Luna’s report, Ellie felt her heart sink. She came in such a hurry that her clothes became disheveled.
Luna lightly adjusted Ellie’s clothes. Her already large breasts stood out even more because of her clothes.
“But what about Erica? She definitely didn’t go out together?”
“She was taken away by the saint earlier. It looks like she’s going to get scolded a lot.”
“That’s right. The atmosphere was scary. I guess that’s exactly what a cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse would have been like.”
How scary must it have been to make an analogy like that? Luna suddenly became curious.
But after hearing the explanation from them, it turns out that it was Erica who broke her promise first.
Rize told Erica not to fight with Sivar if possible, but she went against that lightly and ended up causing an accident.
She was a bit unfair from Erica’s point of view, but the result turned out to be the worst. She will definitely be watched by the Gaia Church.
“But why is Sivar like that? Is there any reason?”
“That’s right. There’s no fuss right now because it reacted to her divine power. There’s even some saying that she might be a devil.”
“Oh, I’m not a devil. Gulag-nim even gave me lightning. If that’s the case, am I a devil too?”
It’s the devil. To be exact, they are descendants of the devil.
Luna’s mouth was itchy, but she held back as much as she could. This story shouldn’t be brought up yet.
You can trust these people, but you don’t know who will listen now. It would be better if no one knew about it. This is a hallway.
“There is not much I can tell you. The saint asked me to keep it a secret.”
“I guess there’s something?”
Kara, who is quick to notice, guessed it right. Luna did not specifically deny it.
If you make a fuss about her, you will only receive suspicion. She was able to remain calm.
Kara also knew that she was not in a position to reveal secrets, so she did not pry any further.
“Instead, the saint said, Sivar is a child who needs affection.”
“Affection?”
“Yes. Affection.”
She said the right thing. The Spout of Chaos wasn’t even activated.
But the problem is the people who heard it. A strange current settled between them.
Luna was one step away from her, so she couldn’t read the atmosphere. She just says what she has to say.
“I know that Ellie, your sister, and Grace have a crush on Shivar. So I think the three of you will have to work hard.”
“······In what way? Even stamp it?”
“If you’re talking about a relationship… Yes. The saint said it doesn’t matter though.”
“··· ···”
As soon as those words came out, the three people except Luna glanced at each other. No matter who comes first.
Checks that existed until now, knowingly or unknowingly. It was like a kind of powder keg.
But Luna ignited the powder keg with a flint. Literally a close call situation.
“Would you like to decide with rock, paper, scissors?”
Ellie was the first to hang her buns.
“What is Sivar? Let’s decide it with rock, paper, scissors?”
“Then Grace, I guess you can give in.”
“There’s no way around it. I’m living with Mr. Sivar. So, I go first…”
“Don’t talk nonsense, and I’ll report it to the top immediately.”
The ensuing fight of wits and words. The powder keg began to catch fire more and more.
“··· ···”
And Luna slowly took a step back.
Even though my senses were poor, my senses were useless.
