140 – Dislike
Did you say that you have to listen to the end to understand what a person is saying?
Although there is a blind spot in that the subject speaking to me through the reconnected consciousness is not a person.
-···Tweet.
I was able to listen to Tweet’s words to the end and confirm several facts through Tweet’s perspective.
-I was sorry about earlier. I misunderstood.
I sincerely apologized to Tweet and thought about the information I gained thanks to Tweet.
Where Ras is hiding,
The fallen warriors who gathered there, the sin of sloth wearing Mort and a robe, even the existence of Sloth.
I didn’t know what they were talking about inside, but I could at least know that they were planning something.
Plus, I don’t know what they did, but the fact that Mort was walking around looking exactly like me.
-And good job.
[Yes… Hmph…!]
When I praised him, Tweet made a nasal noise and pretended to be very upset.
-For now, just stay there and watch for a little longer. Because I was wrong, when I come back later, Dad will definitely grant me one wish. Oh, Tweet has prepared a gift just for you, so you can look forward to it.
[Really? No, hum…!]
Fool. My consciousness is connected and I clearly know what emotions I am feeling.
I chuckled and laughed at the voice of Tweet, who was clumsily pretending to be upset.
For your information, the gift I prepared for Tweet was a honey chestnut baptism called ‘Punishment for the bird that misunderstood the saint.’
‘Anyway…’
After disconnecting from my consciousness, I was lost in thought for a moment.
‘I thought Mort might come here…’
I never dreamed that the sin of sloth would remain here.
‘Slos.’
This guy was lazy and slothful in everything and had a tendency to hate doing anything. Because of that nature, it was hard to see him even in games.
Whether a colleague dies or not,
Whether the Chaos Church burns or not,
This guy never appeared until the end, and ironically, if you didn’t kill him, the game’s ending credits never rolled up.
‘It was hard to find.’
There was only one way in the game to face this elusive legendary Pokémon.
Waiting in a specific place at a specific time, with specific conditions met.
Then.
-[Kill me.]
I was able to meet Sloth, who spread his arms wide and asked me to kill him.
-[It got annoying.]
When asked why, Sloth answered like this.
If the request was not met due to doubt, Sloth committed suicide.
Even I, an old man, had all the information I knew about Sloth, but what I additionally learned today was that Sloth was staying in Ijesti.
-“I’ll say it again, don’t be a bother and do it yourself. “I won’t get involved.”
From what Sloth said from the underground passage connected to the butcher shop, I learned that Sloth would not cooperate with Lars and Mort.
‘What is this guy doing…?’
I had doubts, but the conclusion was clear.
He is a sinner and should have been killed anyway.
In order to do so, certain conditions had to be met, and those conditions were very difficult.
But, I found out about his activities without meeting those conditions.
‘Good.’
It was only natural that I was willing to accept this situation.

Click!
While the teacup held in the hand of the Sword Saint, Yan, was turning into powder and scattering.
“God of Heaven, why did you not grant me the starlight to cut down those merciless bastards…!”
Yan sighed and remembered the bitter smile the emperor had shown this morning.
-“No matter how much it is that child, with two of the Seven Deadly Sins baring their teeth, it will be difficult for that child to survive here. “I don’t know if it will grow further later…”
-“So, that kid.”
The emperor ordered Yan.
-“You take responsibility and take him there.”
Take that child who will become a light for humanity and run away.
-“They won’t be able to harm me right now anyway. Even if it hurts me, I will maintain this empire. “Until what they call ‘Doomsday’ comes.”
When Yan asked how he could leave His Majesty’s side, the Emperor smiled bitterly and said,
-“Jan, who do you think will be needed more in the future? A child with starlight, and an emperor without. “Of these two.”
-“Jan. I appreciate your loyalty, but aren’t you a knight of the empire? Think about it. “The day you swore your honor and pride on your sword, the first verse you recited to the sky.”
-“Okay. “What your pride and honor truly must protect is not this wretched emperor, but the safety and peace of this empire.”
If you understand, please leave. I will take responsibility for this place.
“···.”

Yan recalled the emperor’s last words while roughly wiping his face.
-Crash.
Without a word, he put his sword on his waist and went out to the door.

Deren’s office.
After receiving a call from Sword Saints Yan and Deren, I came here and had to ask Yan while tilting my head.
“Why me?”
The more I thought about it, the more doubts I had. Lars called me, so let’s not fight and run away with the sword saint himself. Even in this situation where Evil is captured by Lars!
“It is to protect you from that evil until you fully bloom.”
Jan said.
No matter how strong I am now, I won’t be able to face two of the Seven Deadly Sins. So let’s run away together.
This is the emperor’s command to himself, and he will carry it out.
“I understand what your intention is.”
Me dealing with starlight,
I have far greater potential than Fran,
Rather than losing it now, they think it would be a better choice for humanity to postpone that period through the sacrifice of the emperor and consul.
“I don’t like it.”
So I answered.
“I’ve explained it to you so far, but you really continue to be a fool!”
“I’m not a fool. I’m going to kill Lars tomorrow. If possible, the sin of sloth, that one too.”
After interrupting Jan, I turned my head towards Darren and continued speaking.
“And Mort, that guy who greatly contributed to the empire’s decline.”
“Morte…?”
At my recitation, Darren narrowed his eyes and asked back.
“I confirmed that he came here. He also confirmed that he had come into contact with Sloth and Las two sins.”
“What? Really?”
“What is that…”
Deren asks in surprise,
Yan hesitates to speak as if his thoughts have hardened.
I quietly whispered something to those two.

Whoa.
A cloud of pure white smoke exhaled from the woman’s shallow breath.
“Ha…”
Lily was smoking her cigar because her feelings were complicated.
Soybeans.
She soon blamed herself, hitting her own head with her delicate fist.
“You idiot…!”
Lily, who became her sister-in-law, asked a question that her own younger brother had asked her not long ago.
-“Sister, why are you doing this to Camel these days? “If anyone saw her, she would think Carmel was a rapist.”
She was so confused that she was trying to think of an answer.
-“Go on, because he’s a rapist…!”
Lily knew that wasn’t true, of course she knew…
Lily was so ashamed and embarrassed that she was shown her naked body and told to touch and rape her, so she kept avoiding Carmel’s gaze and could never say that she didn’t speak properly.
-“Yes, I heard it from my familiar…”
Without realizing it, she ended up telling Duran the story she heard from the blue bird.
So I was worried.
Unlike my own heart that was pounding just by looking at her, I was worried about her frozen expression and speechless speech whenever she stood in front of Camel.
“If it were Duran, she would definitely have told Mr. Caramel everything.”
Now the situation has become more uncomfortable.
“Haa…”
Sighing, Lily could do nothing but look at her window and imagine Carmel coming through that window and saying, ‘I’m here to clear up a misunderstanding.’
****
A deep night with clear moonlight falling.
I was looking up at the window of the apartment where Lily was staying, deeply troubled.
The reason I came here was clear.
I met Lily, who probably misunderstood me as a familiar rapist because of the tweet, to clear up the misunderstanding and restore her relationship to how it was before.
“We need to resolve the misunderstanding…”
At least it had to be like that until I left Ijesti. The most important thing to save Lily from the Holy Kingdom was none other than Lily’s trust.
“I think today is the right time…”
The sin of anger and the fallen warrior Mort.
Unless something happens tomorrow, these two guys will definitely die by my hands.
And, the news will spread throughout Ijesti and even reach the Holy Kingdom.
After hearing this, the Holy Kingdom will hasten the schedule of the pilgrimage group under the pretext of protecting the saint.
So today was the right time to resolve the misunderstanding with Lily. A quiet today would be better than a tomorrow when the world would be in chaos.
“···Maybe tomorrow will be better?”
After thinking about it, I thought it would be much better to solve it tomorrow, so I quickly turned around.
It was not an impulsive choice, but a thoroughly calculated one.
No matter how much Lily thinks I’m a rapist, she won’t spew harsh words at me while I’m lying in bed with serious injuries while defeating Lars and Mort.
It was a much better choice than climbing through that window now and saying, ‘Lily, I’m not a rapist!’
“···.”
I wasn’t avoiding this situation because I couldn’t figure out what to say. Really!
****
Could it have been an ancient temple?
When we arrived at a place where only the remains of old marble remained, the man who was standing firmly opened his lips, pulling out a greatsword stuck in the ground.
“Are you here?”
It was Las, the sin of anger.
