00120 Peaceful daily life ———————————————- ————————–=
When I entered the temple, the people who greeted me were not the users I saw last time I came with Vivian.
“We salute the users who handle blessings. We welcome your visit. Please tell us your name and purpose of visit.”
The priest, who has a good-natured appearance with neatly organized golden hair, bows his head politely. The man in front of me was not a user, but a resident. He didn’t come to take advantage of the contract anyway, but to report on the expedition, so there were no major complaints. In some ways, it might have been better to report it through the residents.
Users and residents generally have a relationship between nobles and commoners. However, the story is different when it comes to residents who
“The name is Kim Soo-hyun. I am a user with 0 years of experience. The purpose of the visit is to report on the expedition.”
“oh. This is user Kim Soo-hyun. “Please come in first.”
The exploration reporting process is simple from the user’s perspective. Reporting users can summarize what they have explored, record it in a document, and submit it. Then, we first read the records submitted by the residents working at the temple and ask questions about the parts that seem to be lacking.
After all of the processes are completed, an investigation team is formed based on the submitted information, if necessary. In general, the cases in which an investigation team was formed were when there were incidents that could threaten the city and when the user’s exploration could be recognized as performance.
I handed the documents I had written down in my spare time to the man in front of me who was smiling kindly. He received the document with a polite gesture and soon began to read the record with a serious expression.
“hmm.”
While I was reading the records for a while, I heard a resident groan. When I turned my gaze, I saw that his eyes were twitching. Perhaps the overbearing residents in charge of creating the clan would have immediately thrown the records and started screaming, but the residents in the temple were definitely calm.
He frowned as if he was being ambiguous and calmly opened his mouth.
“The report is very complete… . There are no further questions to ask. It’s amazing for a user with 0 years of experience, but… “I can’t believe it.”
Finally, as if he had read all the records, the resident carefully put down the paper. His face looked quite complex. Of course, under normal circumstances, he would have formed an investigation team to find out the truth, but right now he didn’t have the resources to do so. The city’s representative clan was about to vacate its seat, but it was far-fetched for only the residents to leave the city without any protection.
“If you gather an investigation team at the temple, could you guide us to those locations?”
“It’s hard. There are many things to do during the maintenance period. And after maintenance is completed, we plan to go exploring again.”
He looked troubled at my firm refusal and let out a long sigh. However, we had no obligation to guide the investigation team back to that location.
“Then could you please show me the evidence? Oh, please don’t misunderstand. This is because these records are too great and the current situation of the temple is not that good. However, if these records are true, these are issues that must be confirmed. “In that case, if you are going to go to great lengths to form an investigation team, there must be solid evidence to move us.”
“It’s not difficult. “What kind of proof do you want?”
I nodded obediently to the resident’s request. It wasn’t difficult to show evidence, and I had some understanding of their situation. When asked what evidence to bring out, the resident who briefly looked at the records again asked for two pieces of evidence.
“This is the spirit of the Spider Spiritual Order and the heart of Belphegor, a high-level demon, obtained from a dungeon in the Dark Forest.”
I immediately took out each of the beads I could hold in one hand. One round bead overflowing with cloudy magical energy and one dark blue bead with strange magical power. The resident who checked the items immediately became wide-eyed.
After observing them carefully for a while, he raised his head with a much more flushed face than before. Eventually, he looked at my face, the records, and the items in turn, then regained his appetite and opened his mouth.
“It may be presumptuous, but as a result of verifying the facts using the authority they gave us, it was determined that the two items matched what was written in the record. If all of these records are recognized, it will be tremendous proof of performance, but… “It is difficult to form an investigation team right now.”
“hmm. Is it impossible within 2 weeks? I heard you were overdoing it just now… .”
At my words, he shook his head with a face full of regret.
“Two weeks is absolutely too much. no. To tell you the truth, even the formation of the investigation team is unclear. It is difficult with the current state of Mule, and then we have to make a request to a nearby city or Barbara, but as you know, the situation is like this… .”
The resident trailed off and looked at me. I wasn’t embarrassed because I thought something like this could happen, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Creating a clan isn’t something you can do right away if you want to. These records must be verified in order to be evaluated as performance when creating a clan, but if verification is not received now, it will ultimately result in further delay.
As my expression hardened, the resident bowed his head once again and asked for my apology.
“I’m really sorry. However, we hope you understand our situation. To be honest, we have barely received any general exploration reports so far. But this time, because two big things happened so suddenly, it will take twice as long. Moreover, since we have not completely cleared the ancient alchemist’s dungeon, it is too dangerous for us to go out alone.”
I clicked my tongue and decided to do as much as I could for now. It was impossible to force someone to do something they were told not to do. I expected a little because they said it would be too much, but what they were asking for was asking for support from another city. I quenched my appetite and answered what he said.
“phew… If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do. Instead, please conduct an investigation as quickly as possible.”
“thank you. As you said, as soon as the situation is resolved, we will make the investigation of these two dungeons a top priority. Oh, and… .”
“I’m not lying, don’t worry. Because I know what kind of penalty I would face if I falsified a record of this scale. “Then I’ll just get up.”
“Now, just a moment.”
I didn’t want to waste any more time, so I stood up and the resident grabbed me with an urgent voice. I looked at him blankly with the intention of asking why I was catching him.
“Of course, there is such a clause and we plan to make sure we investigate. However, since you have already shown us the evidence, we are inclined to trust you.”
“Ah yes. Then why… .”
“I originally planned to visit you around lunchtime today, but you came at the perfect time. The person who helped user Kim Soo-hyun receive his blessing gave him an oracle. “I think you should stop by the summoning room.”
I thought it was just in case, but it happened as expected. When he heard that Seraph had called me, he nodded and picked up the items on the table.
“All right. “Then let’s go in right now.”
“It’s a great choice. “I will guide you straight to the portal that will take you to the summoning room.”
After speaking, the resident got up after me and carefully placed the record in his arms. As I followed him into the temple, I thought of an angel.
It’s been a while since I saw Seraph, but I didn’t feel excited or happy.
*
After passing the rite of passage, I entered the portal I used to enter Hall Plain. As I went inside, I saw the blue sea color shimmering before my eyes. An intangible energy grabbed my body and guided me, and as I came out of the portal, I saw a familiar sight.
The room of summons where everything began for me. This place never changes. After looking around for a moment, I looked forward and saw an altar that looked familiar. And on the altar, a beautiful angel with transparent wings flapping was staring at me.
A beautiful face and hair that radiates moonlight. The angel with beautiful green crystal eyes was none other than Seraph. The moment I saw her, I felt like her previously okay mood plummeted to the edge of the earth. I felt relieved that I still harbored a hatred for angels. These were beings that could not be liked.
Seraph confirmed that I had entered and opened her mouth in a polite, calm voice.
“User Kim Soo-hyun. Long time no see. Meantime… .”
“What to say.”
I cut off her greeting with a cold voice. Although I hated angels in the first place, I couldn’t regard the Seraph from the first episode as the same as the current Seraph.
“… “Have you been safe?”
She fell silent for a moment at the harsh answer, but continued speaking. She didn’t like that either, so I fired at Seraph even more.
“I don’t know anything. And anyway, even if I don’t know the details, I know roughly.”
“User Kim Soo-hyun.”
“I’m a little busy. “I hope you just say what you have to say quickly and let me go.”
“… … .”
Seraph didn’t say anything or respond, as if he had become completely dumb. Her face is always quiet. Even now, she had the same stern expression as always, but I could feel that she was embarrassed inside.
“doesn’t exist?”
“… … .”
Seraph still remains silent. The Seraph I have been with for 10 years is definitely different from the Seraph I am now. I shook my head at her reaction and turned around. If I continue to stay in this place, my personality, which has been changing slightly in a good direction, will change again in a strange way… No, it seemed like it would go back to the way it was.
“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll just leave. And I hope you won’t waste time like this from next time.”
“User Kim Soo-hyun… .”
I heard Seraph calling out to me behind me, saying something, but I intentionally ignored it. At that time, I heard the sound of something flashing light exploding. The moment when you try to enter the portal without paying attention. I was able to capture the massive movement of mana occurring behind the scenes.
Tsutsu! Tsutsutsu!
Light explodes continuously. At the same time, the movement of mana was about to cover the summoning room where I was. It was not unusual for this level of energy to move. When she quickly turned her body to look at Seraph, she was staring into space with a very angry face.
“Stop it now!”
I know that what Seraph just shouted wasn’t at me. Because she wasn’t looking at me. But what surprised me was that she ended her last sentence with
pop!
When Seraph waved her hand once, the light cluster in the air was greatly distorted, and the sound of exploding fireworks was soon heard. When I turned my eyes towards that place, the mana that had just been gathered was dispersing. With quick and calm hands, Seraph was slaying the clusters of light that appeared here and there in the room one by one. And in the meantime, he was constantly raising his voice as if he was talking to someone.
“You can’t care…” !”
It was also quite refreshing that it wasn’t just the angels’ conversation line as usual. It was clear that there was some internal strife. Meanwhile, in the summoning room I was in, white light kept flashing, hands cutting through the air, and light exploding repeatedly.
Tsutsu! Tsutsutsu!
“Sandalphon. I warn you again. You are not permitted to be summoned here. This summoning room is a space just for me and the user Kim Soo-hyun. “Forcible entry by outsiders is not permitted.”
Tsutsu… Tsutsutsu… .
“This is truly your final warning. The angel in charge of user Kim Soo-hyun is none other than Seraph. We have no intention of exchanging users.”
Tsutsu… .
At the end of that voice, I could see the lights that filled the summoning room completely disappear. At the same time, Seraph, who had been speaking, resumed her conversation with her mouth pursed, and her angry expression began to calm down just like the first time.
I thought it was the first time in a while that I had seen something nice, so I took out a cigar from my arms. Eventually, Seraph seemed to have put an end to the problem to some extent as he put the tobacco in his mouth and almost finished smoking it. Since the current situation seemed to have happened because of me, I felt bad about continuing on.
Eventually, Seraph turned his head and looked at me still remaining and let out a short sigh. I stared at her with her somber face, seeing the relieved Seraph.
“User Kim Soo-hyun.”
“why.”
Hearing my still sharp voice, Seraph exchanged glances with me for a moment and then continued speaking in a soothing voice.
