The morning of the day I decided to go back to Korea.
For some reason, there was a call from the Vatican out of nowhere in the morning.
“sister. What did I do wrong?”
“well. I do not know.”
“Don’t you know Sister?”
“well. I do not know.”
“Elena. you know.”
“well. I don’t know either?”
“… … They ostracize me in pairs.”
I thought I was going back home, but Michaela and Elena suddenly came to the hotel room where I was staying.
At first, I was very nervous because it was a call from the church, but seeing as Elena was with me, I judged that it was not a bad thing, so I decided to follow her obediently for now.
The place we arrived at was the Palermo Cathedral.
Inside, there were already a lot of people who seemed to be Catholic officials.
The atmosphere is very bright… … What the hell did you call me here for?
“sister. Shouldn’t I say something soon?”
“Yes, you won’t be able to escape once you’ve come this far.”
run away? who? I?
“In fact, the reason I brought Junior here today is to present him with a medal at the Vatican.”
“… … yes? Do you mean decorations?”
What decorations suddenly?
“Didn’t Junior take care of Fafnir in the past and save the Vatican’s subjects from the horrors of Mount Etna by making great contributions to the invasion of Mount Etna? Because of those things, I put some effort into it this time. I mean, let’s give Junior a medal.”
… … no wait.
The awarding of medals in the report was real, not a joke?
“The event will begin soon. Please take a seat first.”
In the end, I was swept away by the atmosphere and sat at the very front of the cathedral.
He opened his mouth cautiously as he still hadn’t organized his thoughts properly.
“… … sister. But why only me? Didn’t everyone else fight hard besides me?”
“That’s because no one comes to mind other than Junior as the person who will represent the whole. As a result of asking other people, everyone said Junior’s name, so please accept it without burden.”
It must have been a hidden camera that everyone except me knew about.
‘A medal from the Vatican… … Not bad.’
“Eugene Han Carlione forward.”
Then, my name was heard from the front.
The cardinal I saw at Mount Etna is giving me the medal.
In fact, in the Vatican, he was a man with authority second only to the Pope and the highest man in the Vatican even in terms of combat power.
Surely, did he say that Michaela was his teacher?
Standing in front of the cardinal, he began to recount in detail the events that had taken place on Jeju Island and my merits this time.
Apparently, there was a separate record of how I fought and behaved at that time.
“──It seems to have contributed greatly to the subjugation of evil dragons and evil spirits. So, with the meaning of gratitude to Carlione who was Eugene at the Vatican. I, Ambrosio, on behalf of His Holiness Pope Benedict, confer the Order of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great.”
After finally explaining everything, he lifted the medal from the luxurious box.
A medal with a picture of St. Gregory in the middle of a luxurious design.
In response, I respectfully bowed my head and politely accepted the award of the medal.
Is this over now? At the same time as thinking.
“In addition, the Order of the Golden Spur is also awarded.”
Another medal came out of a second box I don’t know where it came from.
… … No, how many replacement medals are there? The moment I was about to feel burdened by the growing weight on my chest.
[Hidden achievement achieved!]
[Achievement: Obtain 「Knights of St. Gregory the Great」!]
[Can deal 10% additional damage against evil properties.]
[Praise to the great Templar!]
[Hidden achievement achieved!]
[Achievement: Obtain 「Golden Spur Knights」!]
[Can deal 10% additional damage against evil properties.]
[Dear. I will become a knight holding the sword of faith and the shield of the word!]
… … Are there any other decorations?

After the awarding of the medal by the Vatican.
At the airport, Ludbio, who greeted me for the first time, and Elena, who made a new relationship here. And Michaela came to see me off as I was about to get on the plane.
“… … I’m sorry to see you leave like this.”
“I’m sure we’ll meet again when we enter Seoul Hero Academy anyway.”
“Nevertheless… … .”
Even so, Elena made a sullen expression as if she was still sad. Behind her, Michaela nodded.
“It’s also sad to think that Junior is leaving. This is the first friend I made outside the Vatican, but parting is sad.”
The corners of her eyes were also quite droopy, unlike usual.
Certainly, Michaela and Elena, after training together and fighting together, I felt that I was really attached to them.
“sister. If you have time later, come to Korea to play. I’ll buy a lot of wine that Sister likes and wait.”
“… … Is that true?”
“of course. What does it mean to be friends?”
“friend… … nine… … !”
After all, sisters like that kind of reaction is fun.
“There is a bishop I know in Jeju Island. It would be perfect to spend a vacation over there.”
“Jeju Island… … Are you referring to Bishop Augustus?”
Is it because the name you know suddenly came out? She looks at me with surprised eyes.
“Do you know Bishop Augustus?”
“Of course. His handling of Fafnir, the evil god, was truly an achievement of the century! Because Junior also became a guest at the Vatican because of that.”
no wonder. Oddly enough, the Vatican was kind to me because of that.
It was a part where I could see why the Catholics were kind to me after the raid was over.
The next person to speak to me was Ludvio.
“Eugene. Thank you very much. Today, once again, I owe a great debt to Carlione.”
The real purpose of my coming here and the gift of great equipment to me.
He approaches me, holds my hand, and smiles. I also shake my head and hold his hand.
“It’s a debt. Didn’t the Maestro do a lot for me too?”
“Isn’t it natural for craftsmen to make good things… … Just like Carlione never forgets her debt.”
The answer that shows his attitude in life.
“I will not forget the debt either. Please see you next time.”
“yes. You must always be healthy. Maestro.”
After holding his hand and shaking hands, he shared a simple hug with the other two.
“Go carefully. Eugene.”
“Don’t be lazy and train hard.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“I hope the Lord will always be by Junior’s side.”
“Sister too.”
After hugging like that, I turned around and looked at the three of them.
“See you at the academy.”
“yes. See you next year.”
“Junior is the one who gave me a big realization. Thank you so much. junior.”
“Sister too. Thank you so much. And, are you friends? Feel free to call me Eugene.”
“Is that okay? In that case, Eugene may also call me by my first name.”
“great. Well, see you next time. Michaela.”
“… … yes. Be careful. Eugene.”

Now is the time to really say goodbye.
He boarded the plane and waved at the three people outside the window.
‘Now I’m really going back.’
And, a system window pops up in front of you.
[Quest completed!]
【Hidden quest complete!】
[Return of Maestro]
[Ludbio, who is said to be the world’s best master at making shoes. He is in a difficult situation due to an incident in the past. Help him solve various problems and become his benefactor.]
[Goal: Complete Maestro’s request]
[Reward: Maestro’s favorability increase, influence on Sicily Island.]
[Maestro Ludvio Marco’s affection has increased to the maximum.]
[There are rumors about you in the back alleys of Sicily. Those located within Sicily feel a slight fear of you.]
[The citizens of Sicily are deeply grateful to you for conquering Mount Etna.]
A trip that is truly full of what you have gained.
Sitting on the plane and looking at the quest window like this, I started to realize that I was really going home.
“You seem to have really enjoyed it. young master?”
Latte sits next to me and smiles at me.
Apparently, he was sorting out the information he had collected in Italy this time.
“Well, it’s because we fought for each other’s lives. I have no choice but to be affectionate.”
It’s not like there’s a word ‘comrades’ for nothing.
“By the way, why are you suddenly saying you’re going to die today? There is still a lot of vacation left.”
“that is… … I feel like I have something to go back to Korea as soon as possible.”
“It’s a job… … ?”
“huh. A very important thing.”
I took out my cell phone from my pocket and entered the ‘Familia’ group chat room.

[diary]
[today. Carlione Jr. leaves. However, writing a report about him has already become a daily routine, so today I wrote a diary to commemorate my farewell.
Today, I ended up getting scolded by the Cardinal of the Intelligence Bureau.
Originally, the mission received from the Vatican was ‘to help the Medici secure the essence of fire’.
Although he failed in the mission, he made a big contribution to dealing with ‘Typhon’. Given his contribution to the ‘exorcism of the heretics’, he received a mild punishment of two days of fasting and prayer, but escaped the monastery to say goodbye to Carlione Jr.
This week with Carlione Jr. and Eugene has been so amazing and exciting.
Became friends with him and went through many adventures. He seems to have been a surprisingly good sage, different from what I thought.
Although it is regrettable that he left today, I have a strong feeling that we will meet again someday.
The one who saved me a few days ago. I thought about ‘Magical Log’.
Obviously, the visor was down when I was falling. But for some reason, he knew right away that I was a girl. In other words, I think I knew who I was.
‘Not everything I learned at the Vatican is right.’
What he said is still stuck in my head.
Indeed, is everything I have learned so far at the Vatican correct?
Perhaps because of that question, I eventually stopped taking ‘Magical Log’. made me think.
Because the person who told the story was not someone else, but a friend of mine.
Michaela’s first diary.
