100 – (Side story) I hope again for a wish that could not be fulfilled.
After the journey, Iris’s condition improved a lot. It’s good that now I don’t suddenly shed tears and laugh from time to time.
Even as I thought so, I remembered the hardships I had gone through, so I distorted the incidents with the brother a little and made fun of them. Unlike the past, reacting right away has a taste of teasing, so I started to enjoy it before I knew it.
Even so, when we decided on a place to spend the night, we were considerate so that we could have some time together just the two of us, using the excuse of scouting the surroundings. I could feel that it was getting brighter and brighter.
Relieved by that, he continued his journey and arrived at the village of the elves. We delivered the corpse and belongings of Ariel, the god of the elves, and obtained the fruit of the World Tree.
The brother’s memory returned and Iris confessed when she confided in him. The brother accepted the confession and their lips parted.
Even though I felt happy and fortunate to see them like that, I felt ashamed because I was doing it in front of others.
Fortunately, the embarrassing time passed quickly, and with the help of the uncle, they returned to Iris’ mansion. I returned to the mansion and headed to my room first so as not to disturb the two of them.
After washing, sleeping in the room, and rolling around for a bit, it was time for dinner. I was thinking about whether to eat dinner alone or all together, but I thought it would be better to eat together, so I went to Iris’s room and heard them whispering love through the door.
Hearing that, he turned around. At the same time, I thought about whether to make fun of Iris and the brothers or congratulate them.
After that time passed and I saw them happy, I felt that my unquenchable thirst was relieved a little.
Satisfied with that, I thought it was time to go back. I thought that, but I also thought that I would like to live here with Iris and Brother for a little while longer.
When I was agonizing over conflicting thoughts, something that shouldn’t have happened happened. The same phenomenon as Iris happened to the brother.
With that phenomenon, we headed to the Holy Land to ask for help from the Elder. As each day passed, the smiles disappeared from Iris and the brother’s faces. I hated it terribly.
The two of them barely made it, and finally my friend’s wish came true, but I can’t be taken away in vain like this.
With that in mind, I speeded up.
That’s how we arrived at the holy place faster than expected, and the high priest entered the sanctuary with the brother.
After a while, I felt an unpleasant energy that made me feel sick, and the energy of the high priest became so strong that I could not touch it. And after a very little time passed, the unpleasant energy disappeared like a lie, and the high priest’s energy began to weaken.
I felt it and tried to enter the sanctuary, but the door would not open. I tried to open that door with my brothers and sisters, but failed every time. While failing like that, the high priest’s energy disappeared.
The brothers and sisters seemed to have sensed it, and a muffled mutter of anxiety began. Ignoring the murmur, I broke down the door and entered. And then, please, I hoped that the ominous idea was wrong.
But that wish did not come true. Apparently, the high priest and the brother went in together, but the high priest was nowhere to be seen, only the traces of the fight and the brother.
I couldn’t believe the sight and denied it in my heart. However, that denial was broken when he looked at the place the brother pointed out.
The will of the high priest remained at the place the brother pointed out. After seeing it, I realized that the high priest had passed away.
That realization is painful. After Master passed away, the death of the High Priestess, who was our only support, is so painful.
I couldn’t clear my mind from the pain and stayed up all night. When I stayed up all night like that, I felt an intense headache. The memory came back with that intense headache.
The day when the filthy scum tried to insult Master Kaian and destroy the place Master loved. High Priestess… No, I remembered what Kaian-sama had said. And I realized that the memory of the High Priestess that I had been remembering had been manipulated by something.
Some of my memories of Master were overwritten by memories of the High Priestess, and I treated the High Priestess according to those memories. To me like that, Kaian-sama was flustered, but treated me accordingly.
That fact confused me even more. I lived in the confusion for days. Then the time came for the brother and sister to leave.
Hiding my confused heart, I blessed them when I saw them off. After watching them leave for a long time, I organized my mind and tidied Kian-sama’s room.
Then I found an old diary. I saw unbelievable things in that diary.
[Daniel’s favorite spring day.
On a spring day, Daniel, my only student, was reincarnated with the name Alik. I watched his birth from a distance. He was born with all his fingers and toes intact. I was relieved to see it. However, if there is anything to worry about, it is that his family is not harmonious.
I’m worried about that, but it’s painful because there’s nothing I can do. I’ve always been a bad teacher
—–
…..
—–
The winter Alik died.
As he wished, he continued with the same companion in this life. However, the companion was born as a descendant of that guy and harbored the damn witch’s curse. My fault for not checking properly. Because of my fault, Alik suffered and died alone.
Also, because of my lack and complacency, he died painfully. This mistake must be rectified. Even if you give up a lot, you have to turn around.
With that thought in mind, I brought the relic of the creator god that he had. And I turned back time by offering my faith and part of my soul as a price.
Time goes back and it comes back to the moment before the guy got married. Now that we have turned back time, we must help to avoid stepping on the same train. I thought so, but I was limited. I couldn’t get out of the holy ground, and I couldn’t even speak to him carelessly.
That’s why I sent his disciple, Rachel. After Rachel was sent, there were restrictions again, and she was unable to observe the world outside.
Now I’m in the same situation as the invoice who can’t really do anything. That’s why I wished that guy to be happy in this life.]
After reading the diary, I realized that the thoughts I had in the past were true. Realizing that, I muttered to myself.
“Your brother was really a teacher.”
After muttering that, I wanted to run to Master, but I couldn’t because I was carrying the title of elder.
Also, I can’t do anything and helplessly wait for the ending. it’s so sad and painful
As I was thinking about that, I heard a familiar voice from behind.
“What are you doing in my room?”
When I turned around at Master Kaian’s voice, Master Kaian looked at me with a mischievous smile.
I couldn’t believe the sight, so I reached out and pinched Master Kaian’s cheek. The warmth was clearly felt.
“I barely came back, but Sason pinched my cheek instead of saying hello. Daniel wouldn’t have taught me that. Strange.”
“Really… are you Kaian-sama?”
When I said that, Kaian-sama smiled mischievously and stroked my hair.
“Yeah, it’s really me.”
“Isn’t he dead? How are you still alive?”
“Never died. He broke the rules and was brought before the creator.”
Kaian-sama spoke in a slightly annoyed voice, then spoke again in a playful way.
“Well, that’s why I’m alive and not dead. Instead, I was stripped of my godhood.”
“Have you been stripped of your godhood?”
“Yes, now I am no longer a god, but a human with strange duties. Eh, my last years were twisted while helping my pupil.”
Kaian-sama spoke so playfully. It was embarrassing to see him like that.
“By the way, let’s see what you were watching.”
Kaian-sama said that and took the diary that was in my hand.
“Ah, that’s it.”
With those words, the diary burned and turned into a handful of ashes. As I stared blankly at it, Master Kaian stroked my hair a little roughly.
“You must have been worrying for nothing after seeing this.”
“Are you worrying for nothing? I’m worried about Master.”
When I retorted like that, Kaian-sama smiled.
“I’ve already overcome those trials and become happy, so it’s useless to worry.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“I came to see them overcome the ordeal. So do not worry unnecessarily, and do your best in the work I have entrusted to you.”
Kaian-sama said that and was about to leave the room.
“Wait. Then, has Master’s curse been lifted?”
“Yeah, it worked out neatly.”
I was relieved by those words. When I put down the biggest burden, I saw the things I had been missing until now.
“By the way, Kaian-sama’s tone of voice has changed.”
“Ah, that was the original tone. The tone of speech that was put off by the time of the chief. Stop asking about useless things like this and do your job.”
“Wait. Master Kaian has returned, so I don’t have to be an elder.”
“What are you talking about? I am no longer your god, nor am I Khaian.”
“What are you talking about? When I asked earlier, you affirmed that it was Kaian!”
“Ah, I affirmed because I had to reveal my identity. The Creator deprived him of his name.”
“Then what should I call you now?”
“Call it whatever you want to call it. And I have work to do, so let’s go.”
“no…”
I tried to catch Kaian-sama, but Kaian-sama disappeared like a ghost. I stared blankly at the spot where Kaian-sama had disappeared and pinched my cheek. The raw pain just told me that it was all true.
I laughed at the pain and went back to work.
As Kian said, I lived my life fulfilling my duties as an elder. And when spring was approaching, Kian-nim suddenly appeared in front of me and threw me a bracelet that gave me strong energy.
“Give that to Alik’s wedding.”
“What is this?”
“It is a blessing to be reunited with the fate.”
“okay. But wouldn’t it be better to tell them directly? Where have you been up to this point? ”
“You would think it was dead, but it suddenly appeared. So you tell me. And wandering from place to place, he performed the duty given to him by the Creator. I’ve answered everything, so let’s go.”
Kaian-sama said that and then disappeared like a ghost. I looked blankly at the spot again and smiled.
With a smile, I took care of my last job and prepared to attend Master and Iris’s wedding.
The day when spring fully arrived. The wedding ceremony between Master and Iris took place.
Watching the ceremony from the front row, I could see that Master was a bit nervous. I almost burst out laughing at the sight, but I managed to hold it in.
After enduring laughter like that, Iris dressed in flowers slowly walked along with her father. The wife, teacher, and Iris stood side by side, followed by officiating ceremony and oath containing blessings. After the oath, Myung-se kissed, and the two showed happy smiles.
I feel like tears will flow when I see Master and his friend looking so happy. I secretly pinched my thighs and endured it. He endured it and opened his mouth.
“Brothers and sisters. You two look so good together!”
At those words, Master and Iris’s eyebrows twitched in harmony. Looking at it like that, the warmth came and I felt like tears would flow again.
Again, he held back his tears and cried out inwardly.
Master, be happy forever in this life.
On a warm and happy spring day, I hoped that my unfulfilled wishes would come true.
