Chapter 166 – 166. Comfort
“You bastard!”
Ugly devil’s horns rising above the forehead. A bold talk and a rough accent that changes in an instant.
“Is it Velika?”
Like a devil named Kihyung. The great devil Velika, whose instincts as a devil have become deformed and joins Stella.
At the time I put Stella to sleep inside me, she had lost consciousness due to the flames of the Holy Grail, but now she seemed to be fine.
“You’re full of energy.”
“It’s natural because he slept a lot after he died.”
Yes, don’t be mistaken.
Stella too.
Velicado.
In the end, he was just a dead man.
I am just lending my body for rest. In fact, their lives have already come to an end.
“Are you thinking of fighting Magan? “Ugh, you’re so big, you bastard.”
“It just worked out.”
“what.”
“Do you have any information about Magan?”
If you think about it, the person who knows the most about Magan is the same archvillain, Velika.
I tried Donggwijin using Remegeton, but I don’t think Magan will die to that extent.
If that were the case, other great devils would have wanted to take Magan’s place long ago.
I thought I had acquired a capable informant, but Velika shouted, showing off her ugly teeth that had grown along with her horns.
“Hey, this disease… … Okay, stop. Stop it, Velika.”
However, instead of the six-headed letter that was about to pour out, a calm, subdued voice rings out again.
“No, Stella! Didn’t you hear what he said just now? You’re saying you’re going to fight again! “Even though I have a sick arm!”
“Well, still! No cursing. “The gods wanted to show mercy to fools, not condemn them.”
“… … Those damn gods. “I guess I should kill him sometime.”
Is this what it feels like to watch a one-person play? Although the two people were talking through Stella’s mouth, it was not difficult to understand because their tone and intonation were completely different.
“I didn’t call you to say something to this person in the first place.”
“But I still have to say what I have to say! I’m not doing it because you can’t! I know you were looking forward to seeing each other after a long time, but… … !”
“and! Wow! Be, Velika!”
Stella covered her mouth with both hands. I pretended not to notice Stella as she glanced at me with her red face, looking at me.
Stella shouted, one of her hands pulling away from the other.
“I was a little excited… … .”
Tup.
I cover my mouth with both hands again.
She pressed her eyebrows as if she was really angry, and then the horns on her forehead disappeared.
Stella, who had been staring at the floor with her mouth pressed down with both hands for a while, raised her eyes and made an excuse.
“She said something strange because Velika is a devil.”
“okay.”
“He never shares my feelings when he’s with me.”
“I didn’t really think about it that way.”
“It’s real.”
“… … okay.”
Rather than that, there was a part of the conversation I had with Velika earlier that bothered me.
“I heard there was a reason you called me.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
After gathering herself, Stella slowly turned around and stretched out her hand forward as if guiding the way.
Then the landscape that was like white drawing paper begins to change. It became an ordinary night sky with the moon and stars rising and clouds floating around.
We seemed to be floating in the sky.
Thump thump.
Tap the floor with your toes. Is it not really that we have been transported to this landscape, but simply a concept like wallpaper?
It could also be seen as a kind of optical illusion effect.
“It’s fascinating, right? “I learned it after trying it several times.”
Stella slowly started walking in the sky. I follow behind him.
“There’s a village there too.”
“… … .”
At the end where Stella pointed, the village scene really unfolded. Is there some kind of festival going on?
Even though it was late at night, it was quite crowded and the lights were brightly lit.
Of course, it’s not a real village.
It’s probably the same as Stella’s imagination.
But it was a very pleasant atmosphere.
“Are the gods looking at us this way?”
“Probably so.”
A village seen from high in the sky.
It was clear that it was a scene that could not be easily seen on a continent where the Internet, aircraft, and satellites were not developed.
“Hehehe.”
Stella covered the smile on her face with her hand, wondering what was so funny.
I’m happy to be reunited after such a long time.

Even though it interrupted her sweet sleep, it was nice to be able to talk to her again.
“I’m sorry Stella, I don’t have time.”
“… … .”
“There are probably people who are worried about me being attacked by Magan. Also, your body must be in a very critical situation.”
“It was very damaged.”
“Yes, we have to go back right away.”
Stella scratched her cheek and sighed in response to my request to get to the point.
“You don’t have to worry about your body. Well, actually, I guess that’s why you’re in such a hurry because I have a rough idea of what your body is going to be like right now, right?”
“… … “He must be dead or on the verge of death.”
“that’s right. In fact, I decided that Magan was dead. “It means that he used his body roughly.”
“is it.”
Although it was shocking information, there was no choice but to react calmly.
Because I have seen the border between the living and the dead. It wasn’t as surprising as I thought, and I always thought that something like this would happen someday.
“But don’t worry. “Because there is someone who will take good care of you.”
“ji… … Turn it on?”
“Yes, so there is no need to be too hasty. “If we’re being honest, you’re not dead ‘yet’ and if you go back now, you’ll just repeat the same thing.”
It was difficult to keep up with what Stella was saying. It was as if the difficult words of the Gospel were being explained to me in a raw way.
But Stella smiled and said that my reaction was natural.
“No need to worry. “I can definitely go back.”
“… … .”
If Stella says this, it is because there is a reason.
The reason why I hold on to myself even though I can go back.
Now I’m curious about that.
“But. How long do you plan on acting?”
“… … .”
“Look at you now.”
I slowly lower my head at her words. Instead of the nobleman’s coat that Deius usually wore, he was wearing a modern suit from the time he worked as an office worker.
“ah.”
I had no idea.
I thought I now knew why Stella had been calling me ‘you’ or ‘this person’ instead of ‘Deius’.
“Hehe, does it look like that?”
Before I knew it, I had become Kim Shin-woo.
“I could hear and see so many things while I was asleep inside you. “The inside of a person’s bed is not as comfortable as you might think.”
“sorry.”
Stella shook her head and smiled at my honest apology.
“No, it was actually good. “Because I could continue to listen to your story like a lullaby.”
“… … .”
Stella didn’t stop there and kept asking.
“Is that why? I listened intently to your moves. “He comforted the dead, guided broken disciples to the right path, and gave value to monsters that were unfairly created.”
“… … .”
“There was a time when I almost took a wrong turn, but you still came back to me.”
“… … .”
“And this time, you brought the arch-demon of the Republic, who sees humans as nothing more than food, to the brink of death. “It is truly a heroic move.”
Listing previous events was not simply to praise me.
Because as she continued speaking, Stella’s expression became increasingly darker.
and.
“Why?”
She asked me a question that felt like throwing a large stone into a calm lake.
“what?”
“Why are you doing this?”
Kim Shin-woo.
My name, which Stella added afterwards, felt like a reminder of the clear boundary between this continent and me.
“Actually, I was curious.”
Stella slowly lowered her body and sat down. It looks like sitting on a cloud in the night sky.
Her blue-green eyes move as if drawing a horizon in the distant sky and eventually reach me.
“You were telling yourself that it was to survive, right?”
“… … .”
“You have too much responsibility to prevent the destruction of the continent just to survive.”
I couldn’t deny it because it wasn’t wrong.
“Actually, you don’t dwell too much on your own death.”
Her every word penetrated me, but what was actually drawn on Stella’s lips was a soft smile.
After a moment of silence, as if to give me time to gather my thoughts.
Stella asked, recalling the past.
“Do you remember the time we talked together at the convent?”
“… … Yes, I remember.”
“It’s the same as that. “I just want to listen.”
Tuk-tuk.
Stella pats the seat next to her with her hand and suggests that we sit down.
I naturally sat down next to her, as if I was possessed by something.
“To comfort your soul, you have heard many stories. But there was no one anywhere on this continent who actually listened to your story.”
Without realizing it, the corners of my eyes start to flutter. Stella makes eye contact with me and carefully holds my head with both hands.
“What is your real reason for serving this world?”
“… … .”
It’s obviously a soul, so I can’t feel anything.
Still, strangely enough, Stella’s embrace was warm, and that warmth quickly spread within me.
“are you okay. Answer slowly. “There’s no problem if you take a short break.”
“ah.”
My body, which had been frozen by the question that penetrates to the core, gradually begins to stabilize.
“You worked hard.”
Warmth enveloped my entire body, and as I slowly closed my eyes, her whisper tickled my ears.
“You who comforted the continent.”
I will comfort you.
