128 – If 3 people approve, it’s confirmed…?
I couldn’t understand how this happened.
The sight that vaguely remained in my last memory was clearly a temple…
“…….”
The place where I was standing now was in the ruins that were more than just Elena’s temple.
It is a place so miserable that it is difficult to even call it a temple anymore…
“Yura…! Are you okay?”
First of all, she quickly moves her body as she sees her younger brother about to be covered in rubble right in front of her.
“Open your eyes! Yura! Yura…!!”
She lifts her head carefully, clearing away the pile of stones above her.
“Umm… Ah… Huh?”
Luckily, he got up when I woke him up, but how should I explain his reaction…
If you were to look around and see someone lying in this situation, you would probably think that they were in a shock coma. I thought that was the case too…
“Uh… Oppa? I think I fell asleep…”
However, looking at Yura’s reaction, she was just relaxed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
There were no injuries, breathing was stable… And above all…
“Haam…”
It was truly peaceful, as if I had just woken up… I was yawning happily and making sleepy eyes, not yet conscious.
“Huh…? Wait… What’s happening around here?!”
After already showing a level of calmness that goes too far for the location, they try to understand the situation later.
“Oppa?! Why are we here?! We were definitely at the temple of Goddess Abne last time?!”
Does Yura think that we have been transported to a strange place, a place so foreign compared to before?

“I don’t know… But I’m sure this is the Temple of Abne.”
Now that the window was blown out, it felt like it was a completely different place, but that bed… Was definitely Abne’s.
“You don’t know? Then did your brother suddenly collapse like me…?”
Also, the two women lying miserably at the end of the field of vision… Were clearly Mir, the darkness eater, and Abne, the goddess.
“I think so.”
“Now that I think about it… That thing over there… Isn’t that oppa’s boss and the goddess?”
I wonder if I’m looking at it wrong, and Yura also sees those two lying down.
“Maybe those two know something, Yura… Will you support the goddess? I will support Mir.”
“Huh…? Um, okay!”
To check the situation of the war, I approach Mir and take a look at his condition.
“…….”
Unlike Yura and I, who were fine, our bodies were truly miserable… It was not enough to simply say that we were completely devastated…
“Oh my god… What happened…?”
There were bruises and burn marks all over the body, and the outer wings were all torn off… It was almost questionable whether he was alive.
“But I’m still alive…”
Fortunately, he was breathing, but he was literally just breathing… If I left him like this… No matter how persistent his life force was, I couldn’t tell for sure.
“Ugh… I brought you here, oppa…!”
They hugged Mir and gathered together with Yura in the middle of her room. Looking at it now, Goddess Abne was in a serious situation just like Mir.
“Please lay them side by side here, and my brother will do the rest.”
I lay them down neatly again and gather magical power with my fingertips.
“Restoration of the sun.”
As I quietly recite the spell, the gentle sunlight spreads through the barren space.
Compared to the beginning, I am a bit more flexible… But my magic is still extreme, so I either use it less or use it completely.
That’s why I collected Mir and Abne because I wanted to use everything as efficiently as possible.
Looking at the condition, both of them seemed to be at a level that was impossible with most recovery magic, so I casted the strongest recovery magic I know.
“……”
“……..”
When they received my recovery magic, they both took deep breaths with a more relaxed look on their faces, and soon the marks on their bodies began to rapidly decrease.
“Ugh?! Wow!”
However, Mir quickly wakes up in an urgent mood…
“Mir?!”
It happened so suddenly, like a horror movie, that I was so startled that my heart ached…
“Ugh…! Not yet, this is just the beginning!”
As he spits out words whose meaning is unknown, his unclear pupils gradually become dilated.
“Huh..? Harold?!”
Mir accepts the situation as quickly as his consciousness has suddenly awakened. When he sees my face, the hatred on his face fades.
“Uh, it’s me… Are you out of your mind?”
Luckily, my treatment was effective and although it was dramatic, I quickly came to my senses.
“To a certain extent… Anyway, where is Abne?! The game isn’t over yet?!”
What are you talking about? The more I go, the more I wonder what happened…
“It’s noisy… Can’t you see what’s here?”
At the end of Mir, Abne also seemed to have come to her senses, whether she liked it or not, and stood up with a displeased look on her face.
“I guess I have to finish it. Looking at the temple repairs and the sky… I think I’ll be very busy for a while.”
He looks quite different from Mir, showing a calm appearance even if he has to force himself to do so, and exuding an arrogance that matches his image.
“Uh… It looks like you lost your mind too?”
Harsh words are exchanged in a strange atmosphere.
“Can’t you see it? This duel will be a draw.”
Although they hated each other, both of them seemed to have no power left to be angry, so they only gave sharp looks.
Speaking of a duel… Did the two of you fight in a big fight…?
Then, I felt like I could vaguely understand why the temple and the world ended up like this…
The head-to-head battle between the final ancient dragon and the Goddess of Wisdom… It was terrifying to even imagine.
“As expected, I don’t like his attitude of criticizing others… I can’t have dealings with you.”
Mir was disgusted by Abne’s words and ended up being the first to stand up.
“I’m sorry, Harold and Uriel, but can you all please leave today? We’ve gone too far to do what we originally planned.”
The original plan was ruined and I was asked to leave… If it wasn’t Mir, what would I have done…
“Yes, if you say so…”
It was Yura who answered Abne’s request before me, and for some reason, she answered in a voice that conveyed many emotions. She followed Mir into the crumbling hallway.
“Then I’ll see you next time…”
I had no choice but to say goodbye and leisurely leave the temple with them.
◆◆◆
To summarize the situation, it was like this.
It is said that Abne tried to put me, Yura, and Mir to sleep with black tea in order to commit something, and that he tried to do something bold to me.
……
I can’t believe something like that could happen to me when I’m unconscious… On the other hand, it gives me goosebumps.
But it is said that Mir, who the sleeping pills did not work for, ended up having a big fight to keep me from being taken away…
In the aftermath, the once peaceful sky now seemed as if it was literally going to collapse.
When I came out onto the street, everyone was looking up at the temple and feeling anxious…
I passed by and eavesdropped… It was clear that a black dragon and a certain figure were rampaging in the sky for a while…
This is a world that has been ruined to the point that it should be called a battle-related crisis rather than a simple duel…
For a while, this street will be abuzz with stories about Mir.
And I….
“My knight, while I wasn’t looking at you for a moment, a terrible smell wafted through me again!”
I will be held by Elena for a while…
“Not one, but two…! I can’t bear it! No matter how much I have to accept the reality, you have to reassure me!”
In the end, even though I didn’t want to, I felt like I had to spend tonight at Elena’s temple…
“Lie down on the bed, I have to cover you again with my harvest!”
I couldn’t run away as long as I was safe from this oath… So I had no choice but to accept it.
“I want to hug my brother too!”
Yu-ra confidently aims at me in front of Elena with sinister eyes…
“Can’t you go away? Harold is mine!”
“hehehe… Oppa ♡”
I was probably going to have the most uncomfortable night of my life tonight…
◆◆◆
Go back in time for a moment, to the temple of a goddess
“……..”
Abne was left alone in the room after all three had left.
“Ha…”
I let out a deep sigh as I look around the sanctuary, which has collapsed to the point where I can almost believe it is a ruin.
“In the end, we don’t have Harold this time either…”
I continue my monologue while looking up at the now empty ceiling.
The wounds of the world left behind when Abne and Mir fought… A sky so strange and miserable, unlike anything she had ever seen, shimmered in her eyes.
“You couldn’t even achieve a victory that could be considered a consolation… Did you not even end up in a showdown with that ancient dragon?”
Then, Abne finally got up from her seat, sat down on her own bed, and let out a breath mixed with her fatigue and lamentation.
“For the sake of the future, it would have been better to decide who has the upper hand either way.”
Even though there were so many disasters, Abne somehow managed to smile with a lot of lingering memories.
Then he breathes her magic into her eyes and sees something of her.
“It’s really… Confusing…”
Although not as good as Tempus or Morione, Abne was also able to see the future to some extent, as she was depicted in the myth.
“Why is there so much good in one man… Well, it’s the same for me…”
And Abne… What kind of future is she looking forward to…
“It’s noisy, but it’s still peaceful.”
In this world, it was not uncommon for a man to have multiple women.
“In order to make at least some compromise, we’ll have to adapt quickly…”
However, since it was only a matter of establishing mutual understanding, if the parties involved do not accept it, endless discord is bound to occur.
“It must be really hard for Harold…”
So, Abne felt the need to get rid of her negative emotions, even if she was someone she truly hated.
For the future she believes in…
“Still, I don’t see a future where I dry up and die… I guess that’s okay, right?”
What exactly did Harold look like when he was seen by Abne, and why did he have such a mixed look in his eyes?
“……”
She just blushed for a while, looking at her prophecy as if she were fascinated.
