208. Miracles
I leave the dean’s office wiping the spittle from my body.
Seeing the dean salivating, crying, and welcoming me was both sad and a bit embarrassing.
[…] ….]
Outside the dean’s office.
The dark mage leaning by the door, arms folded, was staring at me.
I didn’t expect to react like that, but anyway, it was kind of like ruining a reunion after a long time.
“Isn’t that a very bad name?”
When I affirmed her name, Jenny, she immediately blushed and cried out.
[Don’t call me by that name! You have a wonderful name called the Dark Mage!]
“Haa, did you think that was cool?”
[Oh, isn’t it?]
“Jenny is better than the name Dark Spirit.”
[Called again! Don’t call me by that name! The necromancer is Jenny! It looks like something is missing!]
“Ha, I don’t know.”
[I don’t know what! You know! And where did you find out her real name!? No, where have you been?!]
“Ask one by one.”
She walks past her and starts walking down her hallway, followed closely by her.
[Where did you go? Do you know how upset I am right now?]
“I went to the dream show.”
[Mong, what?]
“… ….”
I wanted to, just in case.
Of course, of course.
Even the 18-year-old Dark Magician must have lost his memories related to the Nightmare and Learic in the end.

After the regretful silence passed, I continued.
“You can say that I fell for the trick of the great devil. It’s a pity, but I couldn’t save the souls caught in his clutches.”
I went there because of the case about Ophelia’s daughter and Claire’s general store, but I couldn’t solve it.
The Nightmare War was such a difficult place.
But.
Remembering Learic, who said I’d see you next time, I promise again that I will save the souls that will be held by him.
[That’s…… I’m very sorry.]
“Yes.”
The dark mage who regrets together.
Comparing the 18-year-old woman who did not know the weight of her soul and regarded her simply as her tool, and now, I felt that she had definitely grown up.
[Then next. How did you know my name?]
“I found out by accident.”
When I added that it was important, the dark mage followed closely behind.
[Do you know how long it’s been since I didn’t mention that name? You found out about it by accident?]
“… ….”
[How did you know! I will be really angry!]
The footsteps on the way back to the lab stop abruptly. As she slowly turns her head to look at her Dark Spirit, her spirited woman recoils.
[…] … I almost got angry, but I held it in!]
“It doesn’t matter. Rather than that, where is Stella?”
I thought I was staring at you because you said you were angry.
[I went to Lucia. You disappeared, and a man is referring to a memorial service, so I think I need help.]
“Yes.”
Of course we could see Luciani Stella who could handle divine power.
Before I came, she was the only woman in the Griffin Kingdom who could solve spiritual problems.
“I have contacted the royal family, so for now… ….”
Since I was away for a month, there were so many things to do.
Thinking of that, the moment I was about to organize the situation.
Wow!
I thought I could see something at the end of the hallway, but it rushed at me with enough speed to leave an afterimage.
When Owen or Perr were stuck, they could have responded by strengthening their bodies, but not this time.
Really quick.
I couldn’t even respond properly, so I fell back and saw a dark-haired girl riding heavily on top of me.
“Professor! You’re a professor!”
“…… Aria.”
Aria came to the academy early because of the grocery store.
“You’re back. The real, real professor is back.”
I felt the warm, moist water on my chest where she buried her face.
Her original ramen tried to push her away.
“Me, really…… I was really patient. I wanted to go out and overturn everything, and I wanted to run right away and tear the guy who was cursing at the professor saying he was a memorial serviceman.”
“… ….”
“But the professor, for your sake, told me not to kill anyone… ….”
Kook.
Aria grabbed my shirt as if it were being rolled up. It was pulled tight as if it would tear at any moment.
I couldn’t shake off or remove her trembling hand.
“So I put up with it. I’ve been waiting here for a long time. I was sure you would come back.”
“… ….”
“Please don’t leave me again. I will follow you wherever you go, so please take me with you.”
Weeping Aria.
As I raised my gaze to the ceiling, I stroked her hair.
“Huh! Whoops!”
“Because I was away… ….”
“Black…… Sniff sniff.”
“… ….”
“Huh. Oh, long time no professor! Churup.”
To see him sniffing like a dog with his nose in my arms while shedding tears.
The feeling of trying to comfort her disappeared, and as I pushed her aside, there was no hesitation.
“Quang!”
“After.”
Looking at it now, the tears are also tears, but it seems that saliva and mucus are slightly stained, so I immediately frown.
“Do it in moderation.”
“Hi-ing.”
Still, she feels sorry for the welcome, but a subtle smile hangs on her lips.
An aria shouting out her arms outstretched as if to cheer her up, while she was sitting down.
“I’m so glad you’re back, Professor!”
I liked her innocent and simple welcome, so I got her up and answered.
“Running in the hallway and running over the professor are penalty points.”
“…… You are a real professor.”
* * *
Wide plains.
Thousands of people were crowded around as if they were at some kind of festival, but all of them were holding their hands together with their mouths tightly closed.
Ordinarily, when a lot of people gather like this, small noises gather and become a huge commotion.
They were just silently praying without making a single sound.
Inhumane atmosphere created despite the dense crowd of countless people.
At that time.
“The memorial service is coming.”
At the same time as the guide, a man wearing an iron mask stands on a huge rock in front of the crowd.
“Wow!”
“I’m sorry!”
“I love you! I am glad to see you!”
“I am not afraid of death! Thanks for being with you!”
Cheers pouring in as if the silence up until now had been a lie.
Deia and Findeneye frowned at the sudden disturbance.
“It’s a surprise.”
“Crazy bastards.”
Mule, a man who calls himself a true memorial serviceman.
Hearing that there was a meeting of his, the two of them hid among the congregation and glared at the man standing on the rock like a strict judge.
Wearing a white robe and an iron mask, he gave the impression that he was suffering.
Mule bowed and took off the iron mask slowly, and white hair fell down and touched the waist.
Cheers pouring in again.
A beautiful figure that God decided and made beautifully. To him, appearance is a level that can be called a blessing from God.
A smile that is both mysterious and warm, but also has a cold side to it.
He was already making the hearts of many people cry with just his appearance with a colorful atmosphere.
“I heard that appearance also plays a part in recruiting believers. It is.”
Since it was for the purpose of investigation, Deia calmly analyzes the Mule.
“Sir, no matter how you look at it, the owner is better, but all these bastards have sprained eyes.”
Fideneye, who came into close contact with the citizens who were secretly repulsed by Deius, showed displeasure.
Actually, the reason the citizens kept their distance from Deius wasn’t because of his appearance or the fact that he was a memorial service, but because he was a black magician.
Anyway.
A month has already passed since Deius Verdi disappeared.
Aiming for that gap, Mule stands up, claiming that he is the real memorial serviceman and that Deus Verdi is a false being.
I ignored it at first, but the steps he took during this month were unusual.
Winning the hearts of the citizens, being silent, he does his job, but he does not hesitate to criticize corrupt officials.
This time, the religious world formally acknowledged him and decided to pursue his path of symbiosis, so he was the hottest being in the Griffin Kingdom.
As cheers swept through like a wave, Mule slowly opened her mouth.
“Everyone, here today. Those who have met a truly pitiful death have come.”
A voice like a sweet performance.
Like a siren’s song that charms sailors, Mule’s voice contained something that attracted people.
“It’s better for a kid to play.”
Pinden Eye pouting.
“Something. I know, so shut up.”
Deia speaks bitterly at Finden Eye. After coming to spy on her, Deia was starting to get annoyed as she was muttering all day next to her.
“I am also in a bad mood. You don’t have to check what kind of impostor he is.”
“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come. I knew how to split his head and brought an axe.”
Findanei sighed as he gently held out the ax that was still in the shape of a single stick.
“Haa, why did you bring the weapon?”
Shaking her head, Deia focused on the mule again.
Three corpses lay on the rock he climbed before he knew it.
“They unfortunately closed their eyes at such a young age. Peter, Ronnie and Charles.”
As Mule gazed at their dead bodies, a tear ran down her cheek.
Seeing that, others began to sympathize with the sadness as if it were contagious.
“Families please come forward.”
A family of three young men rushing out in front of a rock. Even though they shed tears together, they put their hands together and prayed as if begging.
“Today we will lead these children to God. Benevolent people will receive them into their warm arms.”
“Ah! Commander!”
“I believe! I believe!”
Listening to the people’s prayers, Mule slowly stretches out his hands towards his corpses.
A brilliant white light emanated from his hand and began to illuminate the surroundings.
Shortly, the light transforms into the shape of a beautiful goddess with wings.
“God hold these sad souls in your arms.”
A moment when a prayer like Mule’s plea came out.
The white light embraced the corpses.
Soon.
The souls of Peter and Ronnie emerged from their bodies.
“…… !”
“Me, Chin?”
While others were pouring out exclamation and cheers, Deia and Finden Eye had no choice but to be taken aback.
Really, he was bringing out the souls of the dead and bringing them back to his god.
The two felt a similar feeling to Deius Verdi when he relieved Emily’s resentment, a girl who loves flowers.
[Ah, my God.]
[Mom. Dad. I’ll be waiting.]
Laughing brightly, the two of them disappeared as they were embraced by the pure white goddess.
The goddess who embraced the two souls gave a benevolent smile, and then she pointed to the remaining body of Charles.
A goddess talking to Mule as if whispering something.
Mul, who heard that, shed tears and gave thanks to God several times before calling Charles’s parents to climb up the rock.
“The faith of Charles and the believers must have been very deep.”
At Mule’s smile, Charles’ parents once again nodded vigorously while shedding tears.
From noble mtl dot com
“I pray from dawn to evening every day! I sold everything worldly and donated it! But Charles…… !”
“Commissioner. It’s too unfair. Could Charles not be embraced by the goddess?”
Parents worry about Charles, who, unlike the other two, does not have a soul.
But Mule smiled and shook her head.
“The believers and Charles’ faith reached God.”
Saying that, Mule approached Charles, grabbed her hand, and pulled her up as if to raise her up.
“Huh!”
Charles’ eyes flash open and she gets up from her seat with her rough breathing.
A moment of silence.
In the meantime, Mule pointed at Charles and shouted.
“Faith reached God! Ah! What a glorious day it is! Charles followers still have work to do in this land!”
“Uh, mom? Dad?”
Realizing that he is alive, Charles runs towards his parents.
Those who saw the scene of the dramatic reunion with their own eyes immediately spit out thunderous cheers, thanks to God, and blessings towards Mule.
A miracle indeed.
A transfer not allowed to humans.
“Really?”
“Aren’t you a funny bastard?”
The boundary between the living and the dead is clear, and the dead must not cross that line no matter what unfortunate circumstances arise.
That is the belief that Deus Verdi has carried through until now.
Now, the sight of him blatantly denying his beliefs unfolded before his eyes.
Findanei and Deia were feeling complex emotions that could not be put into words.
After miracles, blessings and prayers.
Mule looks at the crowd with a serious expression.
“Everyone, the royal family invited me this time. It seems that I am so dissatisfied with calling myself a memorial service.”
The original ramen.
It was an act that would have nothing to say even if the knights rushed in to arrest him right away.
You dare to call yourself a position bestowed by the king.
However, since the number of followers following him was increasing exponentially, there was a need for the royal family to calmly grasp the situation.
“But I will not lose. No, I would rather go to His Majesty the King and beg him. Don’t be fooled by the evil warlock!”
Wow!
Thanks to the outpouring of cheers, Mule criticized even more harshly.
“Send the dead as they are? Dead is it over? How foolish that is! Do you know how irresponsible that is! I just can’t stand it! How many souls Deius Verdi has let go of the hands of God in the name of a comforter!”
“That’s right!”
“Be cursed, Deius Verdi!”
“God judges!”
Despite the rush of curses and accusations towards Deius, Mule did not bother to stop them.
No, on the contrary, he nodded his head even more encouragingly.
“Even the saintess was tricked by that wicked necromancer! But that Mule hears the word of God! Follow that will! As a doer! Treat your soul as a tool! I will defend the continent from the wicked who extort it and use it as a by-product of their magic!”
“After.”
I didn’t want to hear any more.
He had bitten his teeth so tightly that veins were protruding from Finden Child’s forehead.
His hand holding the ax was itchy and fidgety.
“To judge the evil Deus Verdi! Today God, I, we move…… !”
Taang!
A gunshot cuts off a cry.
Smoke rising and muzzles soaring into the sky.
Underneath it stood Deia, unable to hold back her anger.
“This bastard…… !”
Clap.
As soon as she reloaded, Deia pointed the mule at the mule. Surprised, the surrounding believers tried to subdue Deia.
“If you approach, you will be cut! Are you confident and ask that bastard to attach it to you!”
Charleuk!
The dagger held by Finden Ai assumes the shape of her ax and swings it wide, forcing them to retreat.
“Wow!”
“Back, back! Back off!”
It is a composition that has bitten the followers, but is no different from being surrounded. Even so, Finden Ai grinned.
“With the map weapon.”
“If you are a maid, be careful to talk to the owner.”
“My master is the only one.”
Deia glared at the mule in the distance, letting Findeneye’s smirking words go through one ear.
He responded with a smile.
“Deia Verdi. She is the younger sister of an evil and despicable necromancer.”
“Hey.”
Deia gritted her teeth and gave her heartfelt advice.
“Cut him or me. If you talk again without qualifications, I’ll pierce your head.”
“… ….”
“Let’s see if your god can even fill a gun hole.”
Let’s punish them!
