After that, it was a breeze.
First of all, Offense obtained the blueprints of the Imperial Castle through the capital’s assassination guild.
Ardwin summoned the spirits of the waiters working in the Imperial Castle one after another, and confirmed in detail whether the drawings and reality match.
Xenia found a route out of the guard’s surveillance by sharing her sight with Agril.
Lissel turned into a spirit and went to trial reconnaissance along that route.
Serena did nothing.
Neil did nothing.
I told both of them.
“Are you not feeling anything?”
Neryl answered.
“This is not about hitting, breaking and destroying.”
“It’s a saintly word of coercion.”
“Can you remove the first letter? Immortal swordsman.”
Then Serena covered her mouth.
“Keep… The Saint of Coercion.”
“Is there anything you want to say? little boy.”
“I just thought that the letters in the front fit very well and the letters in the back do not match. No, I have nothing to say.”
“You did it all. You are very annoying.”
“Ahaha. If it was an old-fashioned party, I would have put up with these words. It’s even better here.”
Blood rose to Neryl’s forehead.
“By the way, you don’t have a different name, don’t you? Shall I build it for you?”
“…Oh, no. Do you have a name for me?”
“You haven’t heard?”
“Well. Well. Oh, yes. How about the girl of God?”
It was a sound that didn’t even eat the seeds.
Rather, Neryl smiled mischievously as if inspired by her words.
“I would prefer a monster of God.”
“yes? Hey, kidding.”
“Your piety is as small as your fingernails, but you have a lot of ignorant divine power. He’s a personality disorder and he’s pretending to be cute.”
“I’m not pretending to be cute, I’m really cute.”
“Considering that contradiction, it must be the monster of God. I will call you that from today.”
I had my mouth wide open.
[Why are you surprised?]
‘Before the regression, we also made up a nickname for Serane at our party.’
[By the way?]
‘At that time, the first person to build it was Neryl.’
The flow of the conversation is very different from back then, but it was Neryl who gave me the nickname anyway.
that’s true
A lot has changed since I returned, but there are some things that don’t change like this.
I said.
“Good. God’s monster.”
“It’s bad! Who likes a nickname like that?”
“Everyone except you.”
“I can’t.”
“Shall we vote for our party members?”
Serena nodded her head confidently.
And that night, at our party, Serene’s nickname was chosen as the monster of the gods.
6 in favor, 1 against.
the next night.
Thanks to the full cooperation of the party members, we were able to stand in front of the gates of the underground palace.
The guards were very strict like a royal castle, but honestly, the skills of our party members were like nothing.
Rather, what is important is now.
Offense had an unusually excited expression on his ordinary face.
“Made.”
“uh. Let’s find out when we get a chance.”
Ardwin had already sang Beyond last night for offense.
Beyond this mysterious gate, in the space beyond, he told me where he had carved a large-area search magic circle.
I said.
“Of course, today is just about seeing where the magic circle is.”
“okay. No matter how much Neryl, it would be difficult to cast that much anti-magic in an instant.”
Neryl intervened.
“Are you talking like I’m going to help you?”
“uh?”
“Remembering that you never formally asked me.”
“Please don’t ask me formally.”
“no.”
I approached the door with the noisy party members behind me.
Then he took a deep breath and grabbed the doorknob.
“Open.”
Everyone shuts their mouths like a lie.
I slowly opened the door.
And I went inside the door with everyone.
It was a pure white world.
A world that is so bright that it seems like the heaven described in the temple is here.
A place where the floor and the sky are indistinguishable, just pure white.
Neryl came over and said,
“Fortunately, we are all safe.”
“Grade was right. Otherwise, I was thinking of killing them until I die in the underworld.”
“How do you beat someone who is already dead until you die?”
“So that means you’re a lifelong fan.”
I glanced around.
There is nothing to see except the pure white space.
“It’s strange. The emperor said there were tens of thousands of gates.”

Jenny asked.“Which emperor are you?”
“Now the Emperor.”
“Did he say that?”
oh This is what I saw through the eyes of the Jeonji.
I shrugged.
“I just thought it was.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Anyway, it is impossible to survive only in such a large space. The Emperor would not want them to die because he was trying to use Serene’s parents as a weakness.”
“It is.”
“It means that you have everything you need to survive. But I was just wondering because they are all pure white.”
Then, Lissel opened her mouth.
“Isn’t it completely white?”
“yes?”
“Something is floating around. there.”
There were countless patterns floating around where Lissel was pointing.
It’s like a stripe drawn on a pure white wallpaper.
I suddenly realized it the moment I saw it.
“Oh my gosh……”
“what’s the matter?”
“It’s floating over there. It’s a doorknob.”
“yes?”
“This space is not pure white. We are now surrounded by countless gates on all sides. To the pure white door!”
So the whole space looked pure white.
The gates that filled this great space.
Is it really over tens of thousands?
I approached one of them.
Then he grabbed the doorknob and turned it.
The group hurriedly approached me and glanced over my shoulder.
“What do you have?”
“Weapons are piled up. It looks like a weapons warehouse.”
“Um… ah!”
Xenia cried out in shock.
“This is my father’s sword!”
“Eh? Dame’s sword? Last time I saw you…”
“It was precisely the sword I used in the past. I broke it on a mission when I was about eleven.”
“……”
“At that time, my father couldn’t sleep for two days. So I remember it very well.”
Dame’s broken sword.
But the sword that Xenia was pointing to was in perfect shape.
Sreung.
When I pulled it out once, the sharpness of the blade was alive.

Just like when it was first forged.“What happened?”
Then Offense opened his mouth.
“It’s a mysterious space, isn’t it? Rather…”
“Okay, okay. Did Beyond tell you to walk twelve steps from the entrance?”
“Well. Twelve steps to the right door.”
We walked as Beyond told us.
The handle was also floating on the right side.
When I opened it, I couldn’t help but be more terrified than before.
“Wow, what kind of space is this?”
A little while ago, the weapons warehouse was a place where it was convincing to say that it was still a warehouse.
However, the place where the Great Wide Area Searching Magic Circle of Beyond was engraved was a field with no end in sight.
Literally, a field overgrown with grasshoppers and weeds!
Even the cool breeze felt inside.
I can’t figure it out.
“Five! This is the magic circle. Neryl, can you copy it?”
“What am I doing right now? You said you can only use it here.”
“I’m just sorry.”
“I think it’s a miracle that I’ve come this far. Were you good at sticking with Maid?”
“Nowadays, it seems like you praise Maid whenever you have time. Well, it was definitely a good choice.”
After fulfilling some of Offense’s wishes, we went out.
‘But the problem is how to find Serrain’s parents in this place.’
[……]
‘Why are you so quiet? What should I do with the eyes of the battery again?’
[Well. Please follow me for a moment.]
Whoops.
Suddenly a screen popped up.
And the screen window gradually moved away from me.
‘Where?’
[Come to sleep for now. I think I know where you are.]
‘uh? Have you ever been in here?’
[no. I’ve been busy beating Idria, what’s that got to do with a place like this? I can’t even explain why… If it’s the way you always say it, I kind of got an intuition.]
I tilted my head and followed the trail first.
Then the companions asked.
“Where are you going?”
“I think I know where Serene’s parents are.”
“yes? How the hell…”
“With the mystery of the hero?”
Trail laughs.
[It’s thanks to me. Hey.]
‘That’s why I answered like that.’
[……]
‘Because I’m looking for you, the oldest warrior, with your mysticism. Am I wrong?’
He was silent for a moment.
Then he answered in a soft voice.
[Only you?]
When I opened the door that Trail pointed out, I saw the kitchen.
kitchen.
…why is the kitchen here?
I think it would be better to stop thinking about it now.
That was then.
The sound of someone gurgling, picking up food and swallowing it was heard.
“gulp. Wow, I have no memory of eating seafood like this in my entire life.”
“It really is. How is this world fed back?”
“That’s right. No matter how much you eat, the food will fill you up quickly.”
“I think I could stay in a place like this forever.”
Serena hears the voice and trembles.
I asked her quietly.
“They…”
“yes. They are my parents. for now.”

Jerk.Serena walked over to them.
The two seemed to have lost sight of their presence because they were preoccupied with the food.
“Still, it can’t be forever. I have to fix Serene someday.”
“Black. What the hell is wrong with that kid?”
“It is because our prayers are not enough.”
“Did you pray all night? Even Youngji people prayed all day long!”
“……”
“After all, Serene must have been possessed by a demon.”
Serena couldn’t take it any longer.
Tata Tak.
All of a sudden, she rushed to the two of them.
And with that momentum, he kicked his father.
perk. Kudang Tang.
“Oh, I was a fool who was even a little worried!”
“Aww! what, what Serene?”
“honey!”
Serene got up and said to her mother.
“You are the same. Fuck!”
“How did you get here…”
“uh? A bird you haven’t seen, are you pretty fat? You must have had a lot of fun even when I was chewing on food in the temple that I had no appetite for?”
“Oh, how could you say that to your mother!”
Serene grabbed Tak’s mother’s arm.
And with all his might, he hit her with a head-butt.
“Gagging!”
right.
I hear the sound of something breaking my nose.
Serene scolded her mother as she spilled her nose and fell backwards.
“You have to be a mother to be a mother!”
“Ugh.”
“I think you guys are all over the good days. When I come home after my errands, I will cook them properly one by one, so wash your neck and wait!”
She took a few deep breaths.
And he turned around and came back to us.
Startle.
The party members, who are somehow scared, tremble.
Serene adjusted her outfit and gave a refreshing smile.
“Shall we go back now?”
We rescued Serene’s parents and returned to the inn.
When I think back to what Serene said earlier, I’m not sure if this is a rescue or a kidnapping.
“What will these people do?”
I stuck my tongue out and pointed to Serene’s parents, who were fainting.
Serena frowned and said.
“It looks like a well somewhere, please throw it.”
“…… Offense. I want you to take over this.”
Then Offense nodded.
“Is it okay if I take you somewhere out of the emperor’s eyes?”
“uh.”
“Then it would be better to use the assassination guild here. There is no other organization that specializes in hiding things like those friends.”
If it is his name, the Assassination Guild will provide the best service with a reasonable reward.
Serene muttered and opened her mouth.
“thanks. Please take care of me, Mr. Offense.”
“Oh, can I talk to you now?”
“Originally, there was still one more month left, but I decided to deduct it for this one.”
“Thank you for that.”
Serena smiled bitterly.
And I took a step back about five steps.
Neryl asks.
“what are you doing?”
“It’s getting farther away until all of you are at a glance.”
“why?”
“I will greet you. By the way, it’s not like saying goodbye, so don’t worry.”
She gripped the hem of her dress with both hands.
“I’m not really good at this, so I’ll just say it once. I dig my ears and listen well.”
“……”
“Everyone, thank you very much.”
“……”
“Actually, from your point of view, there was no need to help me, who was vulnerable to the emperor. You could have just kicked me out of the party. But by joining forces and helping each other…”
After a moment’s hesitation, she continued.
“thank you so much. really.”
Although she was always different from the outside, she was doing her best to convey her sincerity, at least for now.
As if he wasn’t used to that, his ears turned red.
I looked around the party members.
They say, ‘You answer as a representative.’ I looked at it with that expression.
I said.
“Thank you too.”
“yes?”
“Thank you for coming to our party.”
Serena gave a blank expression for a moment.
Then, I washed my face a few times.
When she opened her mouth again, it was after she had returned to her usual serene.
“I am a promising investor. Investors should be treated well.”
“It’s nice to know you.”
“Hmmm. Anyway… Well, I originally intended to do that, but I’ll do my best until the demon lord is satisfied. I wish you all the best in the future.”
“……”
“More than! I’m hungry now, so let’s eat something.”
The party members each nodded with soft smiles.
“Please. God’s monster.”
“Puff. God’s monster.”
“My sister is the pheasant’s agent.”
“no it’s not!”
“Am I the only normal tinnitus here?”
“Mr Offense is not particularly…”
Serene smiled brightly at their voices.
It was her most unaffected smile I’ve seen, before and after her return.
‘He could have smiled like that.’
[Maybe it was thanks to meeting the leader well.]
‘yes. It seem to be like that.’
[Sometimes try to be humble.]
I laughed bitterly.
Anyway, with Serene’s parents rescued safely, our party is no more.
‘Then let’s go see the emperor soon.’
I should tell you that you can’t touch the warrior.
