âGuild Master. Guild Master! Mr. Yeri, have you seen the Guild Master? â
âI donât know. I wanted to ask you⌠But is this a dangerous situation? Somehow⌠The last time we were⌠Uncle Ducky⌠â
âKmm. This time it will be true. You shouldnât think like that, Mr. Yeri. No matter how much the Vice Guild Master⌠Well, even if he is⌠â
âOh, right⌠Iâm sorry, I was wrong. Worrying more than doubting. Yeah, I was wrong. Seems strange to think so much these days. Somethingâs contaminated⌠Anyway, Iâm sorry. â
âApologize to the vice guild master. But, uh, I donât know how to do this. I canât see the Guild Master⌠â
Tr ansl at ed by p ď˝ t l.ď˝o m âAnkimo. â
âOh, Seon Hee Young! Just in time. Have you seen the Guild Master? â
âYou left first. Right after the video starts coming out⌠with Dialgia. You can arrive after workâŚ. â
âI see. Did you say something separatelyâŚ? â
âHe didnât say anything else, but I decided to head straight to Lyos with Hyejin. We leave in an hour. â
âYes?â
âAfter canceling all the appointments in the guild, all the party members will head to Lyos. I donât disagree. Thatâs it.â
âOh, yeah. Yes, Iâll pass it on to Young and Chang Ryang. â Tra n s late d by pď˝tl.coď˝
âThen please. â
â âŚâŚ. â
â âŚâŚ. â
âHey, Seon Hee Young. â
âYes.â
âDonât worry too much. The Vice Guild Master will be safe. â
âYes. Th-thanks. â
* * *
âHoly Father. â
âYou useless things! You useless bastards! â
âIâm sorry. â
âHonorable CardinalâŚ. Is the cardinal still lying down? Still⌠What the hellâŚ? Until this happens! What are the Holy Knights doing? Where the temples were doing what they were doing! â
âThe temples still havenât received the signal⌠because he and the other cardinals prioritize the safety of the Holy Father⌠we had no choice but to stay in the Church. â
âSo, youâve been fighting until the Honorable Cardinal couldnât stand it! Stupid fool! Thatâs why I left it there until it became a mess!! You idiots! You idiots! â
T ran s la ted b y jp ď˝ t l.ď˝o m âHoly FatherâŚ. â
âShut up! Useless things! While you were here making your tabletop, the Cardinal was alone against the Devil. I was fighting the Darkness without anyone knowing. Even if the Honorable Cardinal dies, I will not stand idly by. No, now! Iâll go myself. I will stand by him until the Honorable Cardinal arises! â
âYou must defend your place, Holy Father. The Cardinal of Honor wouldnât want the Pope to move. It takes more than a few days to fly a griphon. Youâll be safe.I âm sure youâll be safe with the Honorary Cardinal Lee. DefinitelyâŚ.â
âNo. Then⌠the Honorary Cardinal is this wayâŚ. â
âI heard you need to get as much rest as possible. Now that youâre in Lyos⌠I, too, am feeling intrusive. But even if the Cardinal of Honor were here, he would have said that the Pope should stay in the church. â
â âŚâŚ. â
â âŚâŚ. â
âYes⌠Youâre right. Youâre right. Archbishop Jessica is right. The Cardinal of Honor would not want me to leave. Thatâs who he is. Then it was a person, for someone else. He lived only for the goddess Benigore. He was like that. â
â âŚâŚ. â
âMay you⌠be safe⌠Lady Benigore.â Please do not forsake the servant who follows you. Please⌠This old servant will pray again. Please⌠â

âIâll go to Lyos myself. â
âYes?â
âI told you Iâd go myself. â
âOskar. â
T r a ns l a t e d by Jp m tl .ď˝o ď˝ âIg Young is fighting alone. I canât just sit here. He sacrificed everything for his country, for his continent. We canât let them sacrifice themselves again. I know exactly what you mean. I also know that I shouldnât be away. But⌠but I want to finish the job myself. Lyos speaks first of his alliance. I canât let you do anything after this. As much as youâve done your best for the country, I have to take risks for the continent. Prepare the mission. I will visit Lyos in person. â
âOh, Oskar⌠â
âPlease.â
âIâll be ready as soon as I can. â
âSenator Kathryn⌠â
âI will formally request support from the foreigners. I heard that the Blue Guild and the Holy See are also active. We will also schedule a meeting with King Pristina as soon as possible. We will do our best to get this done as soon as possible. â
âThank you, Senator Kathryn. Please⌠stay alive. But aliveâŚâ
âIâm sure youâll be fine. Iâm sure youâll wake up again as if nothing had happened. Obviously.â
* * *
âPeople are so annoying. â
âWhy, Ji-hye? Oh, itâs because of your secret lover. Are you worried, too?â
âWorry not. Heâll be fine without a scratch. Iâm sure heâs up and dancing right now, but whatâs there to worry about? No, I donât think so. Maybe heâs angry when he hears that the Demon Summoner or poet missed Ginga. Anyway, Iâm not worried. Itâs like showing everyone youâre unconscious in the first place. Obviously.â
âI donât think thatâs what youâre looking at. â
âDo I look like Iâm really worried? â
âThatâs what it looks like to me. You look different⌠Why are you biting your nails again? â
Tr an s lated by Jp ď˝t l.ď˝o ď˝ âWhen did I bite your nails? Youâre funny, too. Do you want to keep climbing? Did you do everything you asked? Are you doing this here after everything thatâs happened? â
âOh, no, itâs not like that⌠â
âThen why isnât he answering? Tell me youâre okay if I get up. Itâs really annoying. â
âYouâre right to be worried. â
âYou!â
âCome on, you should try it. Youâd love it if you could show me your face. I understand that my older sister looks unattractive when sheâs too tired, but if my sister is lying down, I should go to the hospital. Thereâs a lot of strange rivals around. Didnât you see her collapse at the end of the day, working with that wizard woman? Youâre not attracted to being squeamish, but youâre not attracted to pretending youâre not? If you donât hear from her, sheâll probably be waiting for you. â
âI donât think so. â

âButâŚ. â
âStill⌠it shouldnât be a bad idea to go. Of course Iâm not listening to you. I just donât think I have anything to do and I need to show you my face. Something important is going to happen in Lyos. I have to go. I want to know whatâs going on⌠Letâs go right now. â
âYes?â
âCome on, letâs go. If I borrow the griphon from my sister, Iâll be quick. Letâs go.â
âBut Iâm still ready. â
âIf you need anything, you can arrive and buy it anyway. Letâs get going. Come on. â
âOh⌠yeah⌠Ji-hye.â
* * *
âThank you.â
âYou donât have to thank me. Pristina. We didnât even know we were in the mission together⌠Most of all, it wouldnât have happened if it werenât for the desperate prayers of the people of Lyos. â
âNo, weâŚ. â
âAs a result, not all of them lost their lives. Haha.â
âYou must be worried sick. Cha Hee.â
âYouâll be fine. No, Iâm more familiar with it. Heâs supposed to be the type who sacrifices himself for others. When weâre together, we have a lot to worry about. It happened every time like it was nothing, so it must have happened again. â
âI⌠I see. Thatâs what the Cardinal of Honor in the Church was like. â
âRather, Pristina. Why donât you say good-bye to the people in front of the castle? Everyone has their own life. Being together like that for a few days⌠Of course, we are thankful enough, but Iâm not worried about the people who are gathered without food. If someone like that has a health problemâŚ. â
âNo, itâs okay, Cha Hee Ra. They are all gathered by their own will and prayers. Thatâs why the people of Lyos are so grateful to you and the other heroes. Everyone was watching the scene with the goddessâs mirror. Of course, I canât compare it to Cha Hee Ra or the minds of others, but I also want my people and I to wake up quickly. I know God doesnât have much involvement in this world⌠but I hope our prayers reach us this time. â
âButâŚ. â
âYou really donât have to worry. Itâs because the royal family does not hesitate to support those who volunteer. In fact, I donât know if Uranus is being very helpful. People are giving their own food to each other. Of course, itâs not enough⌠but itâs probably because everyone was greatly moved by the sacrifice of the Viceroy of the Honorary Self. Hundreds of years from now, your achievements will be remembered in Lyos forever. Yeah, forever. â
âItâs an honor.â
âNo, Iâm even more honored, Cha Hee Ra. Thank you very, very much. â

âMr. Sora. â
âYes? Vice Guild Master. You calledâŚâ
âWhatâs for dinner tonight? â
âAh! I think itâs been a long time. â
âWhyâŚ. â
âLooks like Casgano Yuno smuggled it in. It wouldnât have been easy if people had surrounded the castle completely⌠â
âWhatever the reason, itâs been a long time since I was able to eat meat. â
âYes. More so, Vice Guild Master. â
âGo ahead, Mr. Sora. â
âWhen are you going to announce that youâre awake? I think there are quite a few people in Lyos right nowâŚ. â
âAh! I think itâs okay if I lie down for three more days. That way people will appreciate it. There is a life-threatening crisis. You can unpack it like that and youâll be fine. Oh, by the way, spread the word. â
âSome rumor. â
âTonight is hard. Thereâs a good chance we wonât make it today. Something like that. â
âOh⌠yes. â
âThe sound of people crying will make a lot of noise outside the castle, but I think the picture that happens the next day will be pretty good. Anyway, bring me something, Mr. Sora. Iâve been lying there for over half a day and Iâm starving. â
âYes, Vice Guild Master. And wh-when did you get transferredâŚ? â
âAs you know, the attention of the tribute is so focused⌠I think we should wait a little longer. Donât worry too much. As soon as weâre done, weâll assign you a job thatâs as safe as possible. Oh, this is really good. Itâs because itâs karma.â
âYes!â
âIt melts in my mouth. Khh⌠Itâs melting! â
âYeah, itâs really good. Thank goodness. Iâm so glad. â
âI think itâs even sweeter to eat when I see people gathering in front of the castle. It seems to melt gently. I⌠I donât know if itâs going to stand up like this. Puhahahaha.â
