Mentor(3)
After Corin Locke’s suggestion was delivered by Edna Ilusan, the mound shook loudly.
This would normally be a suggestion that would have been ignored.
However, he knew the existence of the mound and even knew its members and the location of the Danashes.
Above all, the saint guaranteed this.
There was also an opinion to follow the suggestion. These are people who are tired of a long life of self-sufficiency and a harsh life of hiding. But they are a minority.
Most of them had credibility because they were vouched for by saints, but they did not necessarily want changes.
There were those who vehemently opposed this proposal. The problem is that those few people are the ones with the loudest voices on the mound.
“What is that old leprechaun thinking!”
“You should have rejected it right away! That Ilusan b*tch who brought that offer is also a traitor!”
“It must be the kingdom’s dirty work!”
Werewolves.
To be exact, they are beast-human demons, boasting the highest level of combat power, and are the actual force of Mound compared to vampires.
“Kush. What do you think, Kush?”
The prisoners’ attention is focused on what someone said.
Suppressing all the heated arguments, resentment, and anger. I waited for the decision the alpha of the pack would make.
If vampires are led by elders who have lived a long life, beastmen are led by evidence of long-standing lineage.
The noble blood of the king unites the wildlings who have wandered the world avoiding the full moon for a long time.
Shiny silver fur. Evidence that he was awakened as a demon in ancient times and continued to pass on pureblood blood.
The gold and silver fur wolf is a symbol of power and legitimacy for the beast people.
“I am······.”
Kush cautiously opened his mouth.
The incident from 10 years ago was clearly his own mistake. That is now pushing the clan into the abyss of extinction.
But I don’t regret it. If I went back then, I would have made the same choice.
Although there may have been tragedy as a result, it was inevitable.
Now, some people who escaped the saint’s purge and went to the Catholic Church will be talking about this place.
And the cause of that anger is undoubtedly yourself.
‘If I turn around now, I won’t be able to stop.’
It would be nice if it ended with just this body…
Because of Eunrang, the clan can be united as one.
Led by Eunrang, the clan pursues one cause.
We have come too far to feel guilt and responsibility.
“One of us and Princess Miriam must become extinct.”
If one side must be destroyed, it is very clear which one to choose.
“I cannot coexist with her. Even if this is a sin, I am willing to become the evil servant of the world.”
Ultimately, it is an extension of what happened 10 years ago.
Just as they took everything from Miriam,
Just as Miriam hunted them for 10 years.
In order to survive, we must kill each other.

After taking Estelle to Mag Mel during summer vacation, her condition was unusual.
I was worried about how a saint who had served God all her life would react when she realized the true nature of her faith, but I thought it was fortunate that there was no reaction.
She said she had to go straight back to the shrine and have work to do…
“Saint Estelle, punish the corrupt apostates!”
“······What is all this?”
What I heard was that Estelle entered the Holy Land and broke the pots of the Pope and cardinals.
This was good news.
Unlike the Catholic Church, the Protestant Church was a half-‘Hydra’ group that was not completely controlled by the forces of the Paradise Arrival Sect due to the presence of saints.
The saint’s role in the final battle was to organize the church against the people who invaded the area shouting ‘Hail Balthazar!’
It’s a good thing they were cut in advance, but…
Wasn’t this sister like this kind of character?
Anyway, on Saturday morning, I stood in front of the clock tower square.
-Dang! Dang! Dang!
The bell of the clock tower in front of the square signals 12 o’clock.
“Excellent, warrior! “A mere human can endure this much against the real king!”
“What does a tyrant who ruined the country and was kicked out say?”
A star so huge that it seemed as if it would burn the world. I remember the power of the sun wielded by Ohad Breath.
‘The situation is definitely superior to the scenario in the game.’
The magic tower was subdued, Klau Solas and Undri were captured, and the new church’s Hale Balthazar was also eliminated.
Marie, Alicia, and Hwaran are all in excellent condition, and the teacher and saint are actively supporting me.
What about the wolf siblings? They were originally Doon Skyes’ subordinates.
‘But why? ‘Why do I feel so chilled?’
Could it be that something is going wrong? There is such an eerie feeling.
Anyway, as I was thinking about such random things, I saw Estelle getting off at the carriage stop.
“Little brother~!”
Estelle recognizes me from afar and runs towards me.
Since Estelle is such a famous person, I thought she might not be noticed, but since people around her don’t seem to pay much attention, it seems like some kind of magic or prayer is at work.

“hand!”
Estelle asked for my hand as if it was natural.
“Why?”
“no?”
The thing you say as soon as you meet is to give up your hand. It’s not that I don’t like it…
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but…”
“Then give it to me!”
Estelle grabbed my hand, almost snatching it away. Well, we’ve all seen the ball, but isn’t this too bold?
“Wow, this is surprising. Corin’s younger brother’s hands are really big. They’re big, rough, and dependable!”
“Oh, don’t pet it!”
Estelle looked up at me with her signature sly smile.
“He said he would save me someday, so I asked him to kiss me.”
“Kiss the back of the hand, kiss the back of the hand. I’m not that rude. This man’s dream is──”
“It was my first kiss.”
“Ugh…”
He smiles cutely and forces you to pay as if he had given you something great. No, it is true that the first kiss of a saint and princess is something great…!
“Little brother, I’m hungry. Buy me food.”
“Whoa… do you like pasta?”
“Oh my, it’s delicious, you know?!”
“Let’s go fill our bellies first.”
······
···
After finishing our meal at a suitable pasta restaurant, we naturally came to a cafe.
For me, coffee is all I want, but for girls, I recommend the fresh strawberry milk latte.
We took about 70 people, including the previous one, and everyone said it was delicious, so even the picky eater would enjoy it.
“Wow, this is delicious! Where did you find a place like this?”
“When I stopped by Professor Dana’s house, I happened to go in.”
This is the cafe where I went to get mugwort rice cake in the previous episode, but since he was living in such poverty, I dissuaded him from buying me food and went to get coffee.
I mean, this was an unexpected alley restaurant. Next time, should I bring Hwaran and Arishana?
“Little brother Corin. Are you thinking about something else?”
“Hmm? Oh, I’m sorry.”
When I didn’t deny it, Estelle stared at me with a sullen expression.
“When I’m with my sister, I should only look at her.”
“No, but why do you keep calling me sister? You’re not even my real sister.”
“Uh… is it someone else?”
Estelle quickly becomes sullen at my words. Is that…acting? The acting is correct…but the hurt expression on his face makes me feel weak for no reason.
“I’m not a harsh person. Like a friend.”
“We even kissed?”
“A little more than a friend…”
No, what’s the deal if we go further than just being friends?
“Hmm, I can’t help it if we are more than just friends.”
“If you’re trying to open up the ambiguous space of being less than lovers…”
“Younger brother, marry me when you graduate, okay?”
“Why is it like that!”
No, why is this sister like this? I almost spilled the coffee I was drinking!
“Think about it carefully, younger brother Corin. You are the hero who rescued the princess from the evil wizards.”
“The words are different, but they are similar. So?”
“It’s been a tradition since ancient times for a hero who saved a princess’s life to be in a relationship with the princess. If you owe him your life, wouldn’t you compensate him accordingly?”
Estelle tempted me with a wicked smile. Just like Princess Mir, there is something magical about these princess sisters’ eye smiles that excites men.
“I’m giving you a chance to woo the most noble and beautiful princess on this continent, my hero~”
It makes me dizzy to hear someone like Estelle, who is like a cheat from head to toe, say something like this.
Estelle rested her chin on both hands and proudly showed off her face.
It’s surprising, but it’s really pretty.
Estelle is like a teaching material for beauty that has long passed the standard of beauty.
From the lovely pink hair to the clear features, jade-white skin and voluptuous lines.
A genius of beauty… no, she is a beautiful woman of all kinds, so much so that even the word goddess is not enough.
“how is it?”
“Yes? What is it?”
“What was your little brother thinking when he looked at my face?”
······The beautiful pink saint’s eye smile penetrated my core.
“You know lying doesn’t work on me, right? Be honest.”
“······It’s pretty.”
“That’s it.”
“Yes, well… you’re very pretty.”
“Tell me more.”
“You are so beautiful, sister.”
“Lovely?”
“Yes? Well, that’s right…”
“Do you really want to kiss me?”
“Isn’t that molestation?”
“It’s okay for Corrin’s younger brother!”
“Oh, really, please don’t play pranks like that!”
When I shook my head in disgust, Estelle instead raised the corners of her mouth and smiled as if she could tilt the country.
“Younger brother, you have a cute side~”
“······.”
“But it’s not a joke.”
Estelle taps the tip of my nose with her index finger.
“The joke ends here.”
Estelle changes the topic as if she was having fun after teasing her to her heart’s content. It’s disgusting.
“Just as my brother said, there were a lot of rats in the religious order. Those were cardinal level and higher.”
“I heard from Master that they even dealt with the Pope.”
“Yes. Pope Sicari… that apostate betrayed us all. Of course, I know it is the true faith, but he is not ‘on our side’, is he?”
“······.”
It seems that the saint was not as frustrated as expected after witnessing the truth of faith…
“Corin.”
She immediately grabbed my hand. And what you said was so unexpected.
“We must lead.”
“yes?”
What does that mean all of a sudden?
“The poor believers who worship false beliefs, who know the wrong god. It is our duty to lead them.”
“Uh… Is that so?”
“Right now, I’m working on little by little changing the doctrines and interpretation of the Bible of the new denomination.”
“······What did you say?”
“It may not be long, but it is not difficult to change the direction of faith from ‘Lord’ to ‘Danan’ in about 10 or 20 years.”
“yes?”
“And then, we become the owners of a new faith. Because we deserve it.”
······What should I say?
“When that time comes… the church’s followers will worship you as a god.”
“······uh?”
I couldn’t say anything for a while.
really. It took me a while to understand what was going on, and even after I did, my mind froze.
So… is this the saint who told me to become the god of the new world?
Is this what I understand right now?
Now, the saint, a believer who was more faithful than anyone else, has become corrupted and is trying to make me a god?
“hehehe, I’m looking forward to that time.”
Estelle grabbed my hand and pulled me towards me. I kissed his cheek with affection.
“Did I do well?”
“ah······.”
Is this… right?
* * * *
Estelle is a saint.
In both the original work and the previous episodes, he was a person of faith who believed in God more than anyone else.
One of Choi Jong-jang’s assistants who led the remaining Holy Knights to block the paradise-arriving faction of the church who were shouting Hail Balthazar.
Aside from her faithfulness, she was literally a saint with a good heart, so I expected a positive response when I told her the identity of God.
“······But why did it become like this?”
new world? New God? You’re going to worship me?
Uh… why is this connected like this?
“That’s because you are the heir of the sun. “The moment Klau Solas recognized you, it was the same as inheriting Nuada’s divine power.”
Suddenly, what Lou Rabada said in Magmel came to mind.
The successor of the sun… inherited the divine position. And above all──
“Children, this is not a fight between Goidel and Danan. Danan and Danan, an honorable battle between warrior and warrior.”
······The reason they recognize and support me is definitely different from the game. And above all, Nuada, Dagda, Lu… everyone’s long-cherished wish will come true regardless of whether they win or lose this fight.
“no way······.”
Because unlike the original, I was chosen by the sun?
‘If you think about it, Master keeps saying that I will succeed him…’
Didn’t that mean to continue the six choirs?
-smart!
It was a time when my thoughts started to become complicated. A knock on the door. At this late hour… is it the Netherlands?
-Squeak!
“Who are you…?”
A truly unexpected person came outside the door.
“Hello, Lord Corrin. Did you enjoy your date with Estelle?”
With a cold smile, she unfolds what she is holding in her hand. What is in her palm──
“Do you want this? Make a deal with me.”
──It was Lia Pal, the capstone of fate.
