Satan lost his job today â Korean meme about human acts that are so evil and vicious that it makes Satan lose his job. This meme has a lot of variations and is not limited to âSatan lost his job today.â
The Wild Fairy Queen, Eonelle, raised her head.
The beautiful light shone down from the colorful glass ceiling.
The sunlight was scattered and diffused according to precise calculations, giving off a sense of fantasy and mystery to the viewer.
âWowâŠâ
A childlike voice came out of Eonelleâs mouth.
Surprised by her voice, Eonelle blinked and looked at herself, and she realized that her limbs were much shorter than usual.
She wasnât a Fairy Queen.
She was now her younger self before she became the queen.
It was during the time when her mother was still alive.
Eonelle blinked her eyes and smiled.
She thought like a fairy, not a queen.
Whether she was in a dream or not now, she thought that she should enjoy this moment.
âHow exciting.â
Instead of an elegant smile, Eonelle had a cute and adorable smile before she looked around again.
And she soon remembered where she was now.
This was the greenhouse of the High Elves located deep in Endymion.
Besides magic, the High Elves of the magic kingdom Magellan also attained outstanding achievements in various fields of study.
They created a much more beautiful garden in the underground than the one they had above the ground, and the fairies who were fond of pretty and lovely things would visit their gardens with the permission of the High Elves.
âPretty.â
Flowers of numerous colors filled her sight. There were so many varieties that if it was a garden made by humans, it would have looked disordered because of the too many varieties, but this was the garden of the High Elves.
Numerous flowers and trees were arranged together, but there was harmony in their arrangement.
Far from looking disordered, the flowers and trees complemented each other, forming a very beautiful sight.
âIt smells good.â
Eonelle closed her eyes and enjoyed the gardenâs fragrance. And then came into her ears a voice that she had long missed.
âEonelle.â
âMommy!â
Eonelle reflexively shouted as she jumped from her position and turned around.
There stood her beautiful and caring mother, the previous Fairy Queen, with an elegant smile.
âMommy!â
Eonelle ran like a child and hugged her motherâs waist.
âYouâre still a child.â
âYes, thatâs right. Iâm a child. Hehehe.â
How long had it been since she acted cutely like this?
It had been a while since she spoke and acted like a normal fairy.
The former Fairy Queen had a bit of a lonely smile when she looked at her daughterâs face.
Because in her eyes that could see beyond time and space, she saw the grown-up Eonelle, her daughter who had become the Fairy Queen.
The previous Fairy Queen caressed Eonelleâs cheek with emotions that could only be described as proud, regretful, and affectionate.
âEonelle, do you like this place?â
âYes, I like it. Itâs very pretty.â
âYes, when Magellanâs High Elves left EndymionâŠthey especially asked us to take good care of it.â
The High Elves had already left Endymion when Eonelle was born.
However, the previous Fairy Queen remembered the time when the High Elves lived in Endymion.
âMommy was a friend of the High Elves, right?â
âYes, I was. The High Elves were friends of us wild fairies. They let us use the hot springs and the garden to our heartâs content.â
âI like the hot springs too.â
âYouâre truly my daughter.â
âHehehe.â
The previous Fairy Queen stroked Eonelleâs head, and Eonelle enjoyed her touch.
This moment was just a dream, but as a fairy, she didnât care about distinguishing reality from the dream.
âEonelle.â
âYes, mommy.â
âThis placeâŠtake good care of Endymion. SomedayâŠon the day when the High Elves return, we can be proudâŠwe can say that us fairies have never neglected our friendship with the High Elves.â
It was impossible to manage the entire Endymion.
Even the High Elves had given up taking care of it.
So just the places where the High Elves and fairies shared their friendship, which were the hot springs and gardens, were what they could preserve well.
âYes, mommy. Iâll definitely do it.â
âFufufu, thatâs a good girl.â
âI promise. Definitely. Pinky promise.â
âAll right, itâs a pinky promise.â
âYes, mommy.â
Eonelle prettily smiled, and the previous Fairy Queen hugged her tightly. They shared each otherâs warmth under the sunlight shining down from the colored glass ceiling.
âMommy.â
Eonelle opened her eyes.
And she realized that she was the Fairy Queen now.
But for a moment, she was engrossed in her dream. Instead of facing reality, she chose to escape it for a while.
Tick tock. Tick tock.
She suddenly stood up and left her room, with the hem of her dress trailing on the ground.
She faced the sight in front of her.
âHahaâŠhahahaâŠâ
Didnât they say that laughter sometimes comes out when one faces a very absurd situation?
The sight in front of her did not change.
The scene in her dream only remained in her dreams now.
It was completely ruined.
The site where the great collapse took place could only be described as ruins.
The Fairy Queen struggled to maintain her elegant smile.
She soon felt faint again but turned around and firmly stood. But she couldnât stop her weak voice from coming out of her mouth.
âIt wasnâtâŠa dream.â
It would have been nice if it was a dream.
If it was just a dreamâŠ
If it was just a lieâŠ
âMommy, Iâm sorry.â
Eonelle couldnât keep her promise.
Iâm a bad child.
Iâm sorry.
When tears streaked down the Fairy Queenâs cheeks, there were some who were watching the scene secretly.
âJu-Jude. What should we do? Sheâs crying.â
ââŠThen should she not cry?â
Endymion was completely destroyed.
When Jude spoke with narrowed eyes, Cordelia pouted her lips, timidly pushing her index fingers against each other.
Jude sighed again when he saw her with that appearance and then said.
âHaaâŠin addition to thatâŠare you a real demon? How could you say that?â
âW-whatâŠâ
âEndymion is gone, so no more demons will appear on Endymion⊠Such words made Satan lose his job today.â
It was such a diabolical idea.
No, apart from having such an idea, she put it out of her mouth and said it. And with such a lovely face and expression.
âUhhhâŠâ
Judeâs remarks made Cordelia shrink even further, but she had something to say in her defense.
âY-you taught me.â
âWhat?â
âI mean, thatâŠwhen we broke the bridgeâŠâ
Cordelia was talking about the time when they broke the bridge to defeat Lacto.
Jude was the one who originally said that statement, not Cordelia.
However, Jude clicked his tongue at Cordeliaâs timid rebuttal and said with narrowed eyes.
âIs this the same as that? And isnât there something like a time and place?â
He was correct.
Cordelia shrank even more, and Jude pulled the cheeks of such Cordelia with both of his hands.
âUgueuâŠâ
Cordelia would normally be angry and resist it, but this time, she didnât.
She just accepted her punishment with a bleak face.
But that did not last long.
âI know youâre watching. Come forward.â
At the Fairy Queenâs call, Jude and Cordelia flinched at the same time before they cleared their throats and stepped forward.
âJude, Cordelia.â
âYour Majesty.â
Jude answered in a small voice, and Cordelia bowed her head after looking at the Fairy Queenâs eyes.
The Fairy Queen graciously smiled at their appearance.
âItâs all right. You donât have to make such a dejected face. To defend EndymionâŠno, to saveâŠno, it was for the world anyway.â
Though she was a bit unsettled in the middle, the Fairy Queen still kept her elegant smile until the end of her words.
âTo close the Hell Gate, right?â
âYes, if the Hell Gate had just grown like thatâŠthere would have been a terrible tragedy. Cordeliaâs actions were rather excessive, but there was no other way back then. Because of Cordeliaâs decision on behalf of everyone, she was able to save my life too. If you punish her, let me receive it instead.â
When Jude didnât just stop defending her and even went as far as to say that he would be willing to receive the punishment instead, Cordelia was startled and blinked, and the Fairy Queen shook her head.
âNo, itâs not fair to punish you. As you said, Cordelia saved everyone. AndâŠI think Iâm at fault too for neglecting the management of other areas besides the original areas we maintained. Because I didnât even know of the fact that the Hell Gate opened here.â
The Fairy Queen was also well aware of the Hell Gateâs dangers.
If the Hell Gate had grown just as Jude had said, the fairies would be the first to be at risk.
âSo Cordelia, straighten your chest. Although Endymion is goneâŠisnât it clear that you saved the world and us fairies?â
âYour MajestyâŠâ
Cordelia was deeply moved and began to tear up.
The Fairy Queen laughed a bit at Cordeliaâs response before she continued.
âI know of the name Lena. Holy Angel Lena, one of the five heroes who ended the tragedy of the Paragon Kingdom. But looking at her now, it seems she got the Demon Syndrome.â
âYes, thatâs right. We have to treat Lena.â
Cordelia quickly spoke without thinking, and the Fairy Queen also nodded her head.
âYes, you are right. She is also our benefactor, so she deserves to be helped.â
âYour MajestyâŠâ
Cordeliaâs face was flushed with deep emotions again.
Jude also expressed his admiration of her in his thoughts.
âSheâs a real queen.â
It was unbelievable that the benevolent woman in front of him was of the same race as the fairies he knew.
In any case, the truly gracious Fairy Queen turned around and said.
âDemon Syndrome is a disease caused by the accumulation of hellâs aura in the body. So if you wash away hellâs aura with holy aura, youâll be able to cure the Demon Syndrome.â
What she said was the truth.
In fact, the quickest way to treat the Demon Syndrome in the game was to go a large temple, give as much donation money as possible, and listen to choirâs hymns while bathing in holy water.
âThere is a sacred place not far away. Itâs the place where the golden dragon, the king of the wild gods, interacted with Solari, the ancient sun god.â
âOhâŠâ
Jude unknowingly expressed his surprise.
Because according to the Fairy Queenâs story, it was a land where two gods temporarily stayed together.
It was literally a sacred place among the sacred places.
âIâll tell you the location, so take Lena there to cure the Demon Syndrome.â
âReally?â
âYes, really.â
âWow! Her Majesty is the best! Thank you very much!â
Cordelia was ready to embrace the Fairy Queen at that moment, but their absolute difference in heights prevented her from doing so.
The Fairy Queen laughed a little at the appearance of Cordelia hesitating when she tried to hug her, and she soon looked back at Jude and said.
âJude.â
âYes, Your Majesty.â
âIâm saying this out of concernâŠâ
The Fairy Queenâs words trailed off at the end before she suddenly cleared her throat and said while looking elsewhere.
âYou canât destroy that place.â
The sacred place.
Especially the sacred place.
âOf course. Iâll try to prevent the worst situation from happening.â
Cordeliaâs face turned red at the moment Jude spoke with a determined look as if he was swearing an oath.
After she struggled in that state, she spoke to the Fairy Queen in an urgent tone.
âI-I promise! Iâll just go quietly! Really!â
âYes, I believe in you. Truly. Really. Please. PleaseâŠâ
Her elegant smile remained the same, but at the end, there was some desperation in the Fairy Queenâs words.
It wasnât really just a sacred place.
Because they had to protect that sacred place.
Especially that sacred place!
âI-I promise. ReallyâŠâ
The dispirited Cordelia shrank her shoulders as she made a promise, Jude stepped forward again.
âYour Majesty, I will take responsibility and protect the sacred place from Cordelia.â
âYes, I believe in you.â
âIâm not a demonâŠâ
Cordelia timidly murmured shortly after the Fairy Queenâs worried face and Judeâs determined oath.
The Fairy Queen turned to Cordelia again and spoke.
âIâm sorry. Iâve made you dispirited. As I said earlier, itâs true that you saved us. You can be proud of that. Youâre a warrior who made a decision that couldnât be easily made.â
âSob, sob, Your Majesty.â
She (Fairy Queen) did a grievous harm to someone and then pretended to help her (Cordelia).
The Fairy Queen smiled a little mischievously at Cordelia whose thoughts were clearly revealed in her face, and Jude also smiled.
***
âAh, thank goodness. Thereâs a way to cure Lena.â
âYouâre right.â
The fairiesâ residence, which differed in time and space from ordinary places, wasnât a very good place to take a proper rest.
For this reason, Lena and Kaplan were staying in a bathhouse in the outskirts of Endymion, which did not collapse.
âUfufu, Iâm excited. If we go to the sacred place, Lena will be cured from the Demon Syndrome, then Lena will regain the power of an angel, and weâll be able to obtain Lenaâs blood. Isnât that right?â
On the road to the bathhouse, Cordelia energetically walked and laughed, and she even began to sing.
âLe~naâs blood~ doo doo doo doo doo~
Sacred place~ doo doo doo doo doo~
Angel mode~ doo doo doo doo doo~
Lenaâs blood~.â
Her singing and gestures were seriously cute and adorable, and Jude tried to distance himself from her. And Cordelia having caught such Jude, glared at him.
âWhy?â
âNo, are you asking because you donât know? Look at yourself.â
A beautiful girl was smiling brightly while singing about blood.
âUmmâŠâ
âIsnât it weird?â
âHmph. Itâs not strange though?â
However, she seemed to be embarrassed as her face turned red.
Jude smiled and continued his words.
âMoving on, itâs good. We saved Lena, and if we go on like this, weâll obtain the angelâs blood.â
âYes, Iâll be able to use Ancestral RegressionâŠthen itâll be possible to use this too!â
Cordelia spoke out loud as she took out the Heavenly Judgment, which she had worn on her back throughout their entire trip.
It was one of the hundred swords that the Archangel Auriel himself forged, and a powerful magic item that could use âDay of Judgment.â
It was currently sealed, so it was more of a club than a sword, but once she gained the power of an angel, she would be able to remove the seal.
âItâs a happy event, a happy occasion.â
âYes, I especially like that we saved Lena.â
She had seen her die a lonely death with a painful expression in the cinematic movie, and that scene still remained in her eyes.
But they had saved Lena.
They saved the hero from Legend of Heroesâ first episode, who should have died.
âIt means a lot.â
Among the five main characters in the first episode of the Legend of Heroes, the Ghostblade Kamael was the only one who was active after the second episode.
So if that didnât happen.
If all the five main characters survived and joined the fight to stop ArmageddonâŠ
âWe have to make it happen.â
It wasnât just Lena.
They somehow saved Iron Man Landius even though the cause of his death was still unknown.
âThe other two too.â
Necromancer Velkian and Druid Fran too.
And furthermore, the heroes of the Legend of Heroes 2 too.
âWhat are you thinking about?â
âA good idea.â
âYouâre saying something strange again.â
Jude grinned at Cordeliaâs rebuke, and returned the topic to the sacred place.
âAnyway, I hope that thereâs no dragon vein in the place weâre going this time.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âNo, itâs nothing.â
Jude shamelessly replied and pretended to be ignorant, while Cordelia pouted but it was only for a moment.
âLetâs hurry. I want to give Lena the good news.â
âOkay.â
The two who were walking together began to speed up their pace.
And under the feet of those two.
Deep underground.
The runaway of the dragon veins were continuously causing abnormalities.
