496.
Under the gray sky.
The great heroes gasped after finishing their battle with the corps commander.
“I really thought you were dead this time.”
Aron said with a white face.
“I agree. “I never thought there would be a corps commander with such abilities.”
Dweno, who was easy-going in everything, also put down his battle ax and muttered with a serious face.
“Still, with this, I defeated the second most difficult enemy after Jormungand. “Thank you all for your hard work.”
Lisinas took a deep breath and comforted his colleagues.
“Where are Kyle and Luna?”
Dweno asked with a puzzled look.
“Luna took Kyle with her, saying they were going to the library in this district.”
“Tsk. “The person who needed the most rest was taken away by the most sane person.”
Lisinas laughed bitterly at those words.
This corps commander was literally like a natural enemy to Kyle.
On the other hand, Luna had strong resistance to the power of the corps commander.
‘The battle would have been really dangerous if it wasn’t for Luna.’
Lisinas also felt an eerie feeling inside.
“But why does Luna always bring a lot of grimoires from Liberation City’s library?”
Aron, the only party member unfamiliar with magic, asked with a puzzled expression.
“To study magic.”
“Luna is already the greatest wizard in the world. Is there anything more to learn?”
Aron questioned Dweno’s explanation as if he didn’t understand the meaning.
Lisinas said while looking at Aron.
“Wizards have a saying like this. “Even the greatest wizard has something to learn from a street fortune teller.”
“aha. “Then Luna is reading other grimoires to improve further.”
“To put it simply, yes. But before that, Luna has a dream.”
“dream? What?”
Aron tilted his head.
“Luna wants to know all the magic that exists in this world.”
“Isn’t it too absurd?”
Aron opened his mouth.
Even Aron, who doesn’t know magic, knows.
That there is countless magic in this world.
Knowing all of that magic is close to impossible.
“It’s absurd. “Because magic is a study that explores the endless unknown.”
Lisinas grinned.
“But for a wizard like Luna, learning new magic must be an irreplaceable joy.”
Whioooooo-!
A dry wind blew.
“For Luna, a world full of unknown magic would probably be heaven.”
***
“… … “Is this heaven?”
Luna, a second-year student in the Department of Magic, arrived at the library and muttered blankly as she looked at the countless grimoires spread out in front of her.
Luna opened the basic grimoire that wizards learn these days with trembling hands, covered her eyes with the back of her arm, and said, ‘Ah!’ Let out her god voice and stumble.
“I love it so much I think I’m going to die. no. “I don’t mind dying.”
“You are already dead.”
Leo tackled her from the side, but Luna ignored her and focused on reading the grimoire.
‘If it were a spell in the basic grimoire, it would be mainly about the method of activation.’
It was after Leo entered Lumern that he first encountered the magic of this era.
And that was the first time I saw something called an activation spell.
No matter how great a wizard he was, Leo, who had magic knowledge at the level of 5,000 years ago, did not even properly understand what the activation technique was at the time.
“Wow, in the future, there is a magic that can be activated just by memorizing it.”
However, Luna understood the structure in an instant after seeing the activation formula.
“Do you want to try it out?”
“This is the magic department library, so you can use simple magic.”
“Okay then. “Hoyit.”
Luna activated a simple magic using the activation formula.
“oh my god.”
Luna was impressed.
A simple fire spell that creates a flame.
Luna soon created an activation formula on the spot and changed the fire magic into a fire ball.
“It’s still amazing.”
“Hehe. Who do you think I am? This is Luna of the world. “Luna.”
Luna looked triumphant.
You can master it just by looking at the activation formula once.
Luna, who has achieved magic! And she let out an exclamation.
“Is it possible that my lingering regret has prevented me from seeing all the possibilities of infinite magic?”

Leo stroked his chin at those words.
“Maybe so.”
“Hehe. okay. “I had a strong desire to explore magic.”
“I always greedily looked at grimoires I saw for the first time.”
“Are you making really strange vocabulary choices? “Do you think the word ‘greed’ suits me, who is pure and neat?”
“It suits you very much.”
Luna hit Leo’s side with her fist.
Leo, whose face was contorted in pain, said while clutching his side.
“Anyway, you can read the grimoire to your heart’s content later, so leave it at this.”
“I want to read now?”
As Luna spoke while holding the grimoire tightly in her arms, Leo clicked his tongue.
“There is someone you should meet.”
“Who should I meet?”
Luna blinked a few times at Leo’s words.
***
[iced coffee.]
The Fairy King, who had lived for 5,000 years, trembled as he saw his former sworn enemy before him.
[this… … It’s not a dream.]
“You’ve really grown up a lot. Silod. but. “Because 5,000 years have passed.”
[Luna!]
Silod flew to Luna, who was crying and smiling.
Silod, who was hanging on Luna’s hair, shook his shoulders.
“huh. It’s great. “Disability.”
Luna smiled as she carefully stroked Silod’s hair with her fingertips.
There were tears in Luna’s eyes.
Looking at that scene, Leo smiled bitterly.
‘I can’t believe I can see Luna and Silod together again in this era.’
Luna was present at the birth of Silod, and from that moment on, they made a pact.
It was a covenant relationship, but before that, the two were like family.
‘One of Luna’s regrets may be not being able to keep her promise to Silod.’
Before leaving on the final journey.
Luna made a promise to Silod.
I will definitely come back.
But in the end, he couldn’t keep his promise and closed his eyes.
If that remains a regret.
This will definitely be helpful to Luna.
At the fairy king’s residence, the three who wanted to save the world during the Age of Calamity talked.
“So, who did Berkia marry?”
“I married an ordinary elf young man. “It’s unexpected, right?”
“An ordinary elf young man?”
Luna opened her eyes wide.
It was also Leo’s first time hearing this story.
“Didn’t that guy go around saying he would never marry a man weaker than him?”
“huh. “It was definitely like that.”
Luna also looked curious.
“He was an ordinary but very simple and kind young man. “He was the kind of person who suited the new era.”
Silod recalled the past as if reminiscing.
“He was an elf who made you feel comfortable around him. “Maybe that’s why Berkia chose Maid.”
“So you chose it?”
Luna tilted her head.
“Berkiah was very tired at the time.”
Silod sighed softly.
“Rebuilding the world was not easy. We had to reestablish the broken order. “The order of God’s Lawn established by Lisinas turned into chaos after Lisinas disappeared.”
If the great heroes who saved the world had survived, nothing major might have happened after the world found peace.
In the process of subduing the last Erebos, they all disappeared.
The great heroes were clearly the saviors of this world.
But before that, it was also a deterrent.
Not everyone is right.
Some people have a good appearance, but others have a distorted appearance.
However, in a situation where the world is on the brink of destruction, distorted nature is a shortcut that leads to destruction of the world.
Lisinas did not tolerate such people.
‘I took care of those who were operating in the dark.’
[Among the residents of God’s Lawn, there were many who were transformed into villains who were faithful to their desires.]
“I can’t believe it. Everyone in Guardslawn was definitely good.”
Luna looked embarrassed.
[When I think about it now, I think we all suppressed our true nature.]
Great heroes and countless other heroes who sacrifice themselves for the world.
Because they set an example, the world on the verge of destruction was, in a sense, a very good and ordered world.
Many people cared for others rather than themselves.
“Are you saying we hid our true nature because we were afraid of our power?”
Luna was lost in thought at Leo’s muttering, and then opened her mouth seriously.
“I don’t think that’s all. “I guess I just wanted to live a meaningful life in a world where it wouldn’t be surprising if it were destroyed at any time.”
Luna smiled bitterly.
“Every time there was a crisis in Guardslawn, we helped each other. “There was definitely no lie in what we saw.”
After hearing Luna’s words, Leo recalled the past.
To Leo, who was reincarnated, it felt like quite a long time ago, but to Luna, it felt like it was yesterday.
“It’s ironic. “The people of a world on the verge of destruction have a more kind nature.”
“I guess that’s why the world was able to avoid destruction.”
Luna answered Leo’s words seriously.
“So, you made eye contact with the man you met in the process of rebuilding the world and restoring order?”
[yes.]
“Are you happy?”
When Leo asked bluntly, Silod smiled.
[He looked very happy when he was with Maid. Just like when the two of you are together.]
“That’s a good thing.”
Leo chuckled.
“what? Did you argue with Berkia like that? “Why are you worried about your student when you made the absurd statement that you have to go through a lot of trouble to grow up when you meet a strange man?”
“What do you think of people?”
“A character destroyer.”
Luna smiled brightly and answered without hesitation.
Looking at Luna like that, Leo clicked his tongue.
“I also worry about those left behind. furthermore… … .”
“furthermore?”
“That guy seemed to think of me as his father.”
Luna’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.
“you… … Like your father?”
“okay.”
“How do you know that?”
“What did you say with your own mouth? “I heard it in the world of heroes.”
At those words, Luna looked at Leo and laughed.
“It suits you quite well.”
‘I definitely felt like a nagging father and an adolescent daughter.’
Luna, who was giggling, looked slightly excited.
“Then I guess I’m a mother?”
“Mom is a mess. “I guess she just thought of me as a big sister because our level of play was exactly the same.”
Luna kicked Leo’s butt.
Of course, Leo avoided it.
When Luna huffed, Silod smiled and said.
“Berkia thought of the two as her parents.”
“Look! “I thought of Berkia as if I were her daughter!”
Luna crossed her arms and looked triumphant.
“If you had thought of her like a daughter, wouldn’t you have given her some education? “You’ve become arrogant every day since I’ve been asking you if I’m coming.”
Seeing Leo grumbling, Luna covered her ears and didn’t notice.
Seeing Luna like that, Leo clicked his tongue and spoke to Silod.
“Silod, let’s talk for a moment.”
[yes.]
“What secret are you talking about?”
“It’s about Bihar.”
Leo and Silod headed to a corner of the fairy king’s residence.
Leo said, crossing his arms.
“You said the world was in chaos after we died, right?”
[yes.]
“I’ll ask you straight. “It’s predictable, but what was life like in Bihar?”
[…] … .]
Silod closed his eyes at Leo’s question.
And then he opened his mouth heavily.
[I lived a life of punishing those who cause harm to the world. I lived as if I couldn’t allow them to enjoy life. The place where she appeared was always a sea of blood. So people considered Bihar to be more fearful than her demons.]
***
“I see. Berkia guy. She considered me and Leo like her mom and dad?”
The morning of leaving for an expedition.
He thought of the disciple who came to see him.
‘Luckily, I lived happily ever after.’
‘I will never tarnish the names of my teachers. And if there are those who tarnish the names of our teachers, I will never forgive them.’
‘We will definitely come back. Berkia.’
‘Still! Even after you return, aren’t there people who will secretly criticize you? I will never, ever, ever forgive those guys!’
Berkia’s words came to mind.
‘it’s a shame. ‘I wish I had known sooner.’
Luna’s eyes became blurred.
‘I really wanted to see Berkia happy.’
Even though I know I lived happily, I am not satisfied.
I felt even more sorrow, as if I felt more thirsty.
Luna said, feeling regret over not being able to see Berkia happy.
‘Anyway, it’s really good.’
The world they saved was truly beautiful.
Magic has advanced.
Although I only lived for a few days, it was a truly happy world.
‘We’re in big trouble.’
Luna looked at Leo.
‘I think I’ll have regrets.’
