Episode 89
Crunchy.
There was the sound of a pen scratching paper.
A man was lying down and drawing something.
It was a bearded man with brown hair and brown eyes.
Even in a prone position, his majestic physique could not be concealed.
He was a big man who looked to be 190cm tall.
The surrounding area is an open grassland.
Sheep and goats were seen leisurely eating grass.
Next to the man, there was a girl sitting on a wooden chair.
Unlike the man, the girl’s body was small.
My arms and legs were as thin as tree branches.
The girl was sitting quietly looking at the livestock, and it seemed like she was either deep in thought or just blankly zoning out.
“It’s done.”
The man stopped moving his hands with a satisfied expression.
He then handed the work he had just drawn to the girl.
“here.”
Finally, the girl’s gaze left the livestock.
The girl looked at the man once with her black eyes that sparkled like glass, then stared at the paper with the drawing on it.
Then he held out his small hand, took the paper, and held it close to his eyes.
The picture drawn on paper was a portrait.
At first glance, it was a very well-drawn picture.
There was a vividness to the drawn characters, as if they would jump out at any moment.
It was as if it had been copied from a photo.
The person depicted was a man who appeared to be in his 30s.
His dark skin and prominent cheekbones gave him a strong appearance.
He was holding a scythe-like weapon in his hand, and a scorpion-shaped tattoo was engraved on the back of his hand.
“what’s this?”
the girl asked, pointing to the weapon in the hand of the man in the picture.
“Side. A side that drank a lot of blood.”
“Hmm.”
The girl nodded her small head slightly.
“Are you a bad guy?”
“Well then. He’s a very bad guy.”
“really?”
“I swear to God I don’t lie.”
“If you swear to God, it’s not easy to believe.”
“Why? Is there anyone who is as devout as me?”
The man smiled and looked up at the girl.
The composition of a large man lying down, raising his head, and looking up at the small girl sitting next to him had a somewhat refreshing atmosphere.
“Why would someone who is a devout believer act contrary to the will of the Iria Church?”
Iria, goddess of life and earth.
It was not the name of a god that existed in this world.
He was a god who existed in the other world.
On the Leiter Continent, he was commonly called the main god.
Because he was the god most people believed in.
As awakened people appeared on Earth, the name of God Iria naturally became known here.
It was natural that more than one person had awakened the power of the priests and monks who served the god Iria.
At first, it spread to the public at an astonishing rate.
It was natural.
Because I witnessed before my eyes the miraculous power of healing that I had never seen before.
Because of this, the relationship with the religions that were already firmly established was so bad that it could be said to be the worst.
Worst of all, religions that normally did not get along well, such as Christianity and Islam, joined forces to keep the Iria Church in extreme check.
Each religion provided spiritual education to its believers whenever possible, saying that the Iria Church was a pseudo-religion and a heresy.
However, it was not because of these checks that the Iria Church’s strength declined.
As time passed, it became known that even if ordinary people believed in the god Iria, it would not give them any power.
Iria’s blessing was only effective for awakened people.
Many people who had initially tried to believe in the god Iria for strength abandoned their faith.
Still, it has succeeded in establishing itself as a religion believed by a significant number of people around the world.
There was also a temple of the Iria Church in Mongolia, where the girl lived.
“What does the Church of Iria mean?”
“The awakening is entirely the will of the God Iria. Therefore, there is no one who has not been awakened by the will of the God.”
“Wow, I know.”
The man smiled warmly, as if looking at his cute nephew.
“Do you think I’m a fool? I also have eyes and ears.”
The girl said in a mocking tone.
“Hahaha. Sorry, sorry.”
The man smiled, apologized, and got up.

This time, I sat down on my butt on the dirt floor, making a noise.
“But what does Iria mean? Even the cardinal, or even the Pope, doesn’t know anything about that.”
The man spoke without hesitation, saying things that would be dangerous for a devout member of the Iria Church to hear.
“Then do you know?”
“I don’t know either. The only person who can understand Iria’s intentions is the silver saint.”
The name of one of the two people that Poahim told Sihyeon to find and ask various questions came from a man.
“So, the Silver Saint is not in the church? Where is she?”
“I wouldn’t know. I guarantee you that if she tried to hide, no one would find her.”
“If I use my powers….”
“No, that won’t work.”
The man declared.
The girl looked at the man with a strange gaze.
“Anyway.”
The man continued.
“I don’t know God’s will either, but I know one thing: bad guys must die.”
“What does the Iria Church say?”
“Until an accurate revelation from God comes, they tell us to stay still and not act recklessly. But that’s just a sign of the powerful powers. Powerful powers like the U.S. and China also have bad guys, so they can’t touch them because they know what they are doing.”
“I don’t think that’s necessarily true. It’s God’s will that these bad guys woke up, so shouldn’t we just wait and see?”
Although the girl was young, she seemed quite intelligent.
He delivered his words clearly.
“Haha, of course you say that. But I told you, I don’t know what Iria means. So I just ran out on my own to kill the bad guys.”
The reason the British man came to Mongolia was not for religious reasons such as evangelism.
After hearing information that there was an awakened killer in Mongolia, he came to punish the killer.
In the end, the blade of punishment was brought down on the killer in the middle of the Mongolian steppes.
And thanks to those actions, I happened to meet a girl in a nearby ger.
The man wondered if it was God’s guidance.
After finding out the girl’s identity.
“Hmm.”
The girl made an incomprehensible snort and handed the picture back to the man.
The man said as he received the picture.
“Did you remember everything?”
“huh.”
“I need to do you a favor.”
“okay.”
The girl closed her eyes.
The man stared at the girl with warm eyes and waited quietly.
The girl seemed to be asleep.
And at some point.
Something red like blood began to flow from the corner of my eyes and down my cheeks.
No, it definitely looked like blood.
The man was unfazed even as he saw the shocking, even grotesque, sight.
I was very surprised at first, but it wasn’t the first time.
After some time, the girl opened her eyes again.
The girl first took out a handkerchief from her bosom and began wiping away her bloody tears.
Of course, it wasn’t wiped clean, but that alone took away much of the strangeness from the girl’s face.
The man opened his mouth.
“great job.”
“Yes, you had a hard time.”
“saw?”
“huh.”
“where are you?”
“37 degrees north latitude, 127 degrees east longitude.”
The world map was perfectly embedded in the girl’s mind.
Of course, the man was an ordinary person in that respect.
“Where is it?”
“korea.”
“korea?”
“Yes, Seoul, Korea.”
It was closer than I thought.
The man’s expression showed that he liked it.
“How’s your face?”
“I can’t draw.”
“Haha, I’m not asking you to draw it. Just explain.”
“It’s a smiling face. But is that a smile that has something sharp inside? Yes, that’s what it feels like.”
“I just felt something.”
“What is it, uncle?”
“As expected, Toya, I have to move with you.”
The man said, calling the girl’s name.
The picture he drew was not what it looked like in this world.
It was the appearance in the other world that was in his memory.
Therefore, even if I knew the location, I couldn’t recognize the face.
The reason the man was able to track down and kill the killer in Mongolia was because he had a picture of the killer.
Even if you use Toya’s abilities, you will ultimately need her to recognize the target.
“Why should I do that?”
“For justice.”
The man blurted out something embarrassing.
Toya’s expression became one of astonishment itself.
“…mister.”
“why?”
“Do you think that’s the reason?”
“Huh? That sounds like a great reason.”
“….”
Toya gave the man a stinging look for a moment, then spoke again with his small lips licking.
“Okay, let’s hang out this once.”
“Hahaha, thank you, Sage of Blood Flow. May the blessings of Iria always be with you.”
The man burst into laughter, put his hands together and gave a blessing.
“I am a non-religious person.”
“Good is good.”
“There’s no need for that. You have to buy me a lot of delicious food. Otherwise, I won’t go.”
Toya said with a pouting face.
“I don’t have any money.”
“Does it make sense for an S-class awakened person to have no money?”
“Haha, how much money can a person who has become a convert to the church have? By nature, paladins are poor. Those who have a lot of money are not qualified to become the Sword of Iria.”
“Then I won’t go.”
“No, no. I don’t have any money, but someone I know has a lot of money. Let’s get some credit.”
The man spoke quickly.
Only then did Toya’s expression relax again.
“let’s go.”
“huh?”
“Let’s go quickly. I want to eat something delicious.”
Toya grabbed the man’s hand.
◈ ◈ ◈
10 days vacation.
Si-hyeon, who had received a vacation that any office worker would envy, was unable to make any plans.
travel?
If he had a girlfriend, he would have chosen her without hesitation, but right now, Si-hyeon doesn’t have a girlfriend like that.
I didn’t really like traveling alone.
My friends were all office workers, so I didn’t really have any friends to go with.
Sihyeon decided to slowly make a plan while enjoying the relaxation she had never experienced before.
I also need to take a break from raiding on the weekend.
That was when I was thinking that.
A phone call came in.
It was grace.
“Hello, Eunhye.”
-Hello brother. “Aren’t you working?”
“Uh, I’m on vacation starting today.”
-I remembered correctly. “I remembered that your vacation starts today, so I called you at this time.”
“I see. What’s going on?”
-It’s none other than the raid this Saturday. “I think it will be a special place.”
“A special place?”
Sihyeon couldn’t understand the meaning.
Are all gates just gates? Is there a special place?
-Yes, I think it will be taken to an island in Incheon. Do you know about Daeijakdo? “It’s there.”
“You know, Dae Ijak. There’s a gate there?”
Sihyeon asked back as if it were interesting.
Gates were usually built on land.
It was not for any other reason, but because the land area was much larger.
Gates often occur on large islands such as Jeju Island or Geoje Island.
However, it was very rare for a gate to be built on a small island like Daeijakdo.
-Yes, it is a D-class gate. “They say it’s very rare for a gate to occur on such a small island.”
“I see. That’s interesting.”
-That’s what I’m saying, brother.”
“huh.”
-That place is famous as a resort. So, there was talk about going to the island on Saturday and having a 2-day, 1-night getaway while also raiding.”
“It’s good.”
Sihyeon said it as if there was no need to think.
Doing raid raids on an island itself was a very refreshing experience.
I wanted to have that experience once.
And I know this from experience, but the winter sea had a different charm from the summer sea.
It seemed like vacationing in a place like that with guild members would be a good memory.
-thank god. Then, I will include you in the raid list.”
Eunhye said with a smile.
“Okay. Contact me again when it’s decided.”
-Yes, you will most likely win, so don’t worry.”
The call was disconnected.
An unexpected plan was quickly decided.
Thanks to this, there is one less thing to worry about.
Sihyeon smiled and picked up a blue pen and marked it on the calendar.
