110. Power Rangers.
As the sun went down and darkness fell, the stalls in the square were preparing to withdraw one by one.

Mactan, which sells yakitori, was also preparing to return after closing.
“Does business go well today?”
“President!”
It was Leon who greeted him.
“Did the business go well?”
“sure. Well done. It was ‘sold out’ today.”
Despite his advanced age, he spoke as if he were bragging to an adult.
Leon, who gave him a second life, was like a benefactor to him.
“I’m glad you seem to be having a good time. Are you uncomfortable with anything?”
“There is not. I’m just having fun and fulfilling each day.”
However, Leon’s expression was strange.
It was as if he was asking if it was real.
“Why is that?”
“ah… … no. I must have misunderstood.”
At Leon’s words, which had an unpleasant aftertaste, Mactan asked curiously.
“What do you think you saw?”
When he asked again, Leon opened his mouth again.
“I don’t know why, but you seem lacking.”
“Am I talking?”
“Yes. There are more things I want to do, but I feel like I just stopped.”
His eyes widened at Leon’s words.
“Did you see that?”
“Yes. What should I express? Well. I wanted to dance, but it felt like the only opponent I had was a child.”

Mactan was taking pleasure in controlling the fire.
‘Will a small brazier for grilling chicken skewers be enough for such a person?’
of course not enough
“… … After all, he is a priest.”
This wasn’t a moderate hit. There was a logical basis.
When Leon cut off the start, he began to answer fluently.
“It is as you said. I feel a strange thirst. I want to use my abilities more… … All I know is this.”
Although he felt thirsty, he did not know how to quench it.
“It was like dancing with fire. Is that right?”
“haha. Thank you for looking so nice. Yes. you’re right.”
“Then there is a way.”
“Yes?! Is there a way?”
Leon nodded.
‘It’s a bad idea for me to ask Mactan for help.’
Leone had to accept Mactan’s request.
“Priest. I know I’m shameless, but can you help me one more time?”
“Would you like to see a bigger fire?”
“… … Yes. If there is a way, I would like to try it.”
It was enough to overcome this, but Leon did not allow it at once.
“Hmm. Most of the places that use big fires are major facilities in the city. We need a process.”
“I will take it.”
The more Leon said it was difficult, the more his desire grew.
It’s a law that makes people crazy to worry about whether it will work or not.
“Then, I will try my best. Give me a little time. I need to talk to the heir.”
“I’m always sorry and thank you. Priest.”
It wasn’t even a thing for Leon to tie him up from here.
* * *
Others have used a similar method.
A tuna that uses the power of water currents.
“Isn’t the lake a bit small?”
“yes?”
“They say the sea is wider and bigger. I think you are somewhat frustrated.”
“… … how to do that… … .”
“When I was talking about the managed sea with the heir, I somehow thought of Tuna-sama.”
This side, too, felt stuffy with the small lake.
“Is there a sea managed by Killika?”
“ah! Well… … There are undisclosed specially managed waters.”
Leon looked at her with an expression that he made a mistake.
“Can I participate there? Maybe I can help you read the ocean currents.”
“As I said, it is a specially managed sea area, so it will be a little tricky.”
“Are you having trouble?”
It can’t be difficult, but Leon answered with a serious expression.
“little bit. However… … I’ll try my best. I brought you to Killika to save you, not to imprison you.”
“Thank you very much! The parish priest.”
In this way, the appeasement continued.
“There are no special crops?”
“haha. Isn’t that something you can get?”
“The Kilica lab should handle special crops.”
“Is it possible?”
Special crops for those who deal with plants.
“I’m glad to see you’re having a good time these days.”
“yes. I am so happy.”
“But there were only a few songs… … .”
“Right. Even if I show my own song, it seems that I am not accepted because I am an outsider.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be okay to become an insider?”
“Is that possible?! They said they never hired outside personnel… … .”
“I’ll find out.”
A lot of songs for Fiona of Harmony.
Each gave what they wanted.
The problem was, the last penum left.
‘This guy just can’t do it.’
It was of an entirely different kind to give to Fanham.
* * *
The skills of the four people who have been conciliated so far are used in harmony with the surroundings.
Fire, water, plants, music.
They are the ones who make their surroundings bigger with their abilities.
But Pannum was completely different.
‘An ability that only affects oneself.’
You can’t help others, you can’t change them. You just win on your own.
‘It’s unclear what kind of ability it is.’
Are you winning the gamble?
Are you winning the match?
Or, I wasn’t sure if I was winning when I desperately wanted it.
‘The important thing is the result.’
Phenom’s ability has one result.
‘If you are driven to the edge of a precipice, you will win.’
The word hero was not enough.
He was a hero in the story.
A warrior who brings light in the end no matter how great the darkness is.
‘Let’s make a real warrior.’
After the gamble, Leon approached Fanham as he returned.
“How you doing?”
“uh?! The parish head!”
As soon as he saw Leon, he greeted him warmly.
“Are you enjoying what I said?”
“Yes! I am trying to have fun every day. Today was quite fun.”
He was confident for a guy who gambled, but Leon didn’t scold him.
“Are you trying to have fun?”
“Well. Like, it’s not enough. A burning thirst persists. I thought it would get better if I kept pouring it in, but it’s getting worse.”
He wasn’t crazy about gambling. I was thirsty, and I was trying to quench that thirst.
“So you’re looking for a game you’re likely to lose?”
“Did you know?”
Leon nodded.
“Yes. I was watching. I was worried that maybe it wasn’t my mistake for calling you here.”
“no. parish priest. I consider myself lucky to have come here. If you were just in town, what would you have done… … I can’t even imagine.”
Even at Phenom’s words, Leon’s expression hardened.
“Gambling will only quench your thirst for a while, but it will not be the solution. Besides, it will gnaw at your heart.”
“… … I know. However, there is no alternative.”
So, I had to change my thinking.
It is not a meaningless game like gambling, but a developmental game.
“Have you heard of the golden mercenary’s seniority method?”
“You mean that practice that you can learn if you only have gold and luck?”
The golden mercenary’s seniority method was famous in many ways.
[A seniority method without any restrictions such as age, gender, talent, etc., if you have gold and luck, you can get it!]
The one called the golden mercenary revealed his technique to the mercenary guild and started selling it together with the mercenary guild.
It’s been 50 years since I started selling like that.
So far, not a single person has succeeded in performing the exercises.
‘Although it was said that it wasn’t a scam.’
The mercenary guild guaranteed that the golden mercenary’s seniority method was incomplete or incorrect.
‘Thanks to that, I gained notoriety. It’s called the crippled seniority method.’

Many people who were blinded by their strength and challenged were crippled by failing at the seniority.
“yes. Shouldn’t this be enough to be called the match of a lifetime?”
This meant challenging the impossible.
“That, what is that!”
Phenom exclaimed in surprise, but his reaction was completely different from what he felt.
“Or are you going to continue gambling like this, consuming yourself all the time?”
Phenom wanted to challenge a match that he could never win.
“If you have to win anyway, do it in a way that will improve you. Doing things others couldn’t do, doing things that would never happen.”
Leon did not stop the devil’s whispering. However, to Phenom, this sounded completely different.
“Thirst and future at once?!”
“Right.”
To Phenom, Leon’s words were nothing more than angelic whispers.
“Ha, but I can’t buy that practice method with my own abilities.”
“Do not worry. I am there.”
devil, no. The angel held out his hand.
“Oren-nim will lend it to you. You will need some collateral, though.”
He is like a warrior who always wins on the edge of a cliff.
‘Basically, I can’t get dirty.’
Unless it’s on the edge of a cliff, Phenom is a hogu. It’s also a special hogu.

An underground secret space created in the church.
Those who had been called by Leon had arrived and were waiting.
“haha. Are you guys here too?”
“Oh, I heard that the old man is farming slowly. What else are you going to do?”
They were acquainted with each other.
When he came to Killica with the help of Leon, he was a comrade who rode a wagon and moved.
“I’m thinking of trying to grow special crops.”
“Huh. Are you serious? I heard that the heir is in charge of cultivating special crops.”
“I heard that the parish headman is supporting us. What did you come here for?”
“Hmmm. I’m on the blacksmith’s side… … Anyway, there is such a thing. How about Miss Tuna?”
“I want to see the sea.”
“I can make my own song!”
It was Phenom who summarized their words.
“Everyone came here to quench that burning thirst, right?”
Everyone nodded.
Soon after, they realized one thing.
“I’ll get help from the parish priest again.”
“haha. I never thought I would have such luck in my later years.”
“you’re right. Who would have understood us?”
“The parish head is different!”
“It’s definitely a different person.’
when you’re talking like that.
Leon came in.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting. It’s a bit late because I’m making some preparations.”
At Leon’s words, everyone shook their hands saying it was okay.
“Then, I will start by talking about the results. The conversation with the heir went well, and everyone was allowed!”
“You mean formally?”
“yes. formally. There are some conditions, but they are not difficult.”
Leon quickly continued his explanation.
“First of all, you will belong to one of your departments.”
“Department?”
“Special department. It’s a power ranger. You can think of it as a department for talented people.”
“Does the department name have any special meaning?”
Leon nodded.
“You can think of it as a person who uses ability (power) and is responsible for the range (range).”
Despite Leon’s explanation, everyone had puzzled faces.
“First, Mr. Mactan.”
“Yes.”
“My code name is Red. I will designate blacksmiths and special blacksmiths as the scope of responsibility.”
“ah! Yes. All right.”
After that, everything went smoothly.
“Tuna-sama’s code name is Blue. I will designate the secret sea area of Killika as the scope.”
“yes!”
“Kimi’s code name is Green. All of the laboratory’s special plants.”
“haha. All right.”
“Fiora is the code name purple. I’m in charge of all idols in the church.”
“I will work hard!”
Now it was the turn of the last penum.
“Penum-sama’s code name is Black. Power Rangers is the scope.”
People looked at me as if that meant something.
“Simply put, Phenom is the one who protects and protects the Power Rangers.”
A security officer in the secret department was essential.
“May I give a blessing to Phenom, who always works hard?”
“I-it’s an honor!”
Dazzling divine power began to emanate from Leon’s body.
“This divine power will clear your mind when you are shaken.”
Among the blessings, the most expensive blessing was the spirit world blessing.
“Oh oh! thank you!”
Phenom smiled happily, as if he knew that. The pure white divine power was absorbed into his head.
“Bixby, Siri. Did you do well not to be noticed?”
[Yes. The divine power coating is perfect.]
[yes! Rage pop when you need it later! I’m ready to explode!]
What was planted in Phenom’s head was anger, not divine power.
‘I don’t know what a person is, so I have to prepare for it.’
After installing a safety device disguised as a blessing.
“ah! And, this is the activewear and mask. It is to hide your identity, so please wear it.”
Finally, after giving out suits and masks, the Power Rangers were officially formed.
‘It’s just the start.’
However, he had no intention of using them only as useful workers.
‘Killaka’s Guardian Power Ranger.’
Leon was painting the bigger picture.
“President! The one called Red!”
“A man named Green… … !”
Reports announcing the start poured in toward Leon.
