Episode 220
Oratorio (1)
Night has come to heaven. It is a completely different planet from Earth, a different universe, and a different galaxy, but the sun rises and sets here as well.
Crack, crack.
A bonfire was burning leisurely under the tree. In fact, in my inventory, there was a camping set that was good enough to set up a simple camp. There were also items like mana lanterns that were incomparable to bonfires.
“Nyan. “You don’t know much about romance.”
“… … .”
Jeongdo didn’t understand why he had to look for romance in the enemy’s stronghold, but Raine was already smiling while looking at the fish that was cooking until golden brown on the bonfire. Jeongdo saw the scene and laughed.
Should I say it’s a total loss?
A little while ago, there was a big battle that devastated an entire region. It was confirmed that there were no dangerous elements around, and it was also true that Jeong Do needed some rest.
Jeongdo leaned against the tree trunk and asked Raine.
“So what do you plan to do next?”
“well. “First of all, we’ll find out when that idiot wakes up.”
“Hmm.”
Jeongdo glanced to the side at Laine’s words. Next to the crackling bonfire, the Musinma is stretched out, still fainting.
In fact, he had woken up once in the middle of the night, but as soon as Musinma came to his senses and saw Jeongdo, he attacked once again.
And of course, the Geass restriction activated and I fainted again. This stun lasted for quite a long time, perhaps due to an overlap of penalties for repeatedly violating Geass.
Laine said, shaking his head as if he was pitiful.
“You look like an idiot with no learning ability. Don’t think too badly about it though. “Except for being simple, ignorant, hot-tempered, and not listening to others, he’s not that bad of a guy.”
“… … “There are quite a few things that need to be removed.”
“Nyahaha. Now that I say it, it seems like that.”
“Well, it’s okay. “I don’t have any hard feelings either.”
Because there was no real damage. And to be honest, I quite like hot-blooded idiot characters. Although it was a bit bothersome to have that hot blood directed at him.
Rustling.
It was then.
Cheok Jun-kyung appeared through the bushes. He said to Jeongdo with a satisfied smile.
“That’s it. It was just as you said. The strongest one in the center of enemy lines… … “Keck.”
However, when he saw Laine eating fish next to the bonfire, he frowned. And it was the same for Laine. It was the first time I realized that a cat’s face could express such disgust.
“It looks like another ignorant person has appeared. “The food tastes bad.”
“That’s it. “Why on earth is that damn thing here?”
“… … “Are things not going well between you two?”
Since they both came from the wireless world, it was not surprising that they knew each other, but it was surprising that they disliked each other like this.
‘I don’t think either of them have the personality to be hated.’
Of course, I hadn’t known them for long, so it was funny to think this, but at least that was how I felt.
When I was thinking to myself, ‘Well, something bad must have happened between the two parties,’ Laine said as if it was unfair.
“How can you smile at someone who is arguing for no reason! “That doesn’t mean he has a good personality, he’s just a brat!”
Fighting for no reason?
Jeongdo tilted his head as if he was puzzled by Raine’s words. Cheok Jun-kyung is a little… … No, although he was very belligerent, he was not a man without circumstances. Even within the Triple S guild, everyone likes him.
Jeong Do looked at Cheok Jun-kyung with an expression that said he couldn’t do that, and Cheok Jun-kyung nodded and spoke confidently, as if telling him to trust only him.
“Cats are monsters!”
“It’s a fight!”
It was right to start a fight without any reason. Jeongdo lowered his head for no reason because he was ashamed of himself, and Raine made a sarcastic comment.
“Look. I didn’t do anything wrong. “He’s just a good cat who gets over it even when an ignorant guy starts a fight.”
“I admit it. sorry.”
I’m really sorry, Master, for being old-fashioned. Jeong Do apologized on his behalf.
I looked at Cheok Jun-gyeong with astonished eyes, but he was still confident. He had the expression of a philosopher who was speaking absolute truth.
No, this is some kind of old-fashioned grandpa-like idea… … The moment I was about to say that, I realized it.
Cheok Jun-gyeong is an old man. It is also from a long time ago, the Goryeo Dynasty, 1000 years ago. He said with a solemn expression.
“After all, the only animals allowed to humans are dogs. Loyalty! Reliable! If you train it, it can hunt and is very useful. cat? The only thing this guy can do is catch mice… … .”
“Tsk tsk. You mistake a little tail wagging for loyalty. He is quite an ignorant person. “Do you feel better after luring innocent kids with meat and playing with them?”
“You monster! How dare you insult a dog’s loyalty? “Even just looking at it, the dog is much cuter!”
“I thought it was just ignorance, but I also sprained my eye.”
Ah, this is a scene I’ve seen a lot somewhere.
It reminded me of the scene in the internet community where the ‘dog faction’ and the ‘cat faction’ were fighting over who was better. Well, of course, they were just saying it jokingly because they were both cute.
“I think we need to show some of the majesty of God to ignorant humans.”
“The sea I hoped for. You monster. “I will cut you down with my single sword and make the world widely beneficial.”
… … These humans, or rather one human and one cat, were sincere. Jeongdo sighed. The moment when the two are trying to stop the two from raising speculation towards each other.
“eww… … eww. shit. “My head is pounding.”
As Musinma woke up from fainting, everyone’s eyes were focused on it.
* * * * * *
Fortunately, there was no situation where the Musinma rushed towards Jeongdo again. When he woke up from his faint, he just stared at the bonfire in despair.
“… … .”
And it was the same for Cheok Jun-kyung. After hearing the news that Mu-yeon had died, he became less talkative.
Sometimes, ‘Yeah, that’s right. ‘Wireless is dead.’ He muttered the same words and repeated the action of looking into the distance. Perhaps he, too, was shocked by the meaningless death of someone he thought was a family member.
“What do you plan to do from now on?”
Still, it couldn’t stay like this forever, so Jeong-do opened his mouth first. But Musinma did not answer, and Laine answered instead.
“well? Now that the target of revenge is gone, I personally think it would be better to just call it a day and live in peace. Accumulating too much income is not good in the long run… … .”

“no.”
At that time, Musinma interrupted Raine’s words. I could hear the determination in his voice. He turned his head and looked at Do and Raine.
“I swore to avenge my master. If the Heavenly God has already disappeared… … “I will collect blood money even if it means destroying everything related to him.”
“I don’t really recommend it. “If you accumulate too much karma, it will be a big obstacle to gaining divine status.”
“That doesn’t matter anymore! shit. “What kind of God is this guy who can’t even solve the problem?”
The Musinma suddenly shouted at Laine and continued speaking while glaring at her.
“Surely you don’t plan on breaking your oath? “You clearly told me, ‘I will assist you in your quest for revenge.’”
“Yes, I did. In return, you must keep your oath: ‘Favors are always repaid.’”
Indeed, was this strange combination formed through such a deal? Jeong Do looked at Musinma with new eyes.
Favors are always repaid.
It was a short sentence, but it had great meaning.
There was no explanation at all as to who was repaying the favor. This was the problem.
We must repay the favor not only to Raine but also to all those who have shown favor to Mushinma. Just like the case a little while ago.
“Well, it’s up to Musinma to decide whether it’s a blessing or not. You can’t attack someone you think is your benefactor. “If you attack me, it will be just like before.”
“shit.”
“… … uh. really?”
That means that even when the Musinma rushed towards him, he already recognized it as his benefactor, right?
He was truly crazy.
“Hello. Okay, good. Favors are always repaid. There is no need to swear, it is a natural thing. Calm too. I will definitely repay this debt. But that’s only after I complete my revenge.”
“By revenge, do you mean destroying the heavenly world you mentioned earlier?”
“Yes, I will destroy everything related to the Celestial God. It won’t take that long. 10 years. “I will finish it within 10 years and come back to you.”
10 years. Although 10 years could be said to be an absurdly short time to destroy a universe.
“You don’t have to wait that long. “Because there is something we can do right now.”
“Right Now? “What happened?”
“Well, it’s nothing special.”
I looked into the distance at the night sky. It was a time of darkness, but there was only one place. The tower, which rose high enough to connect the earth and the sky, was shining alone.
Jeongdo said with a grin.
“Just me and one building have to be demolished.”
* * * * * *
The top floor of the Celestial Tower.
The soft melody of the harp filled the space. It was a sweet sound that any being could not help but fall in love with.
The source of the sound was the throne at the very end of the top floor.
A archangel was kneeling in front of a throne from which the sound of a harp could be heard.
A low angel, the first rank among angels. Even within the vast scale of the universe, they were infinitely noble beings, and their pride was beyond imagination.
There is only one being to whom they kneel. There is only one God, the Heavenly God.
But that is only an external story.
Few of the Heavenly Angels knew that the Heavenly God was nothing more than a scarecrow, and that the actual ruler was the master of the 13 families.
Even the archangel kneeling in front of the throne knew this.
in other words.
It could be deduced that the owner of the throne was one of the 13 families. The sound of the harp was still coming from the throne hidden in the shadows. Chicheonja spoke in a polite voice towards the throne.
“I will report to you. “The news is that the forward base was attacked and two people stationed there, excluding the Archangel Sophiel, were killed.”
Pop.
At that report, the sound of the harp coming from the throne stopped. And from the throne hidden in the shadows, a voice of unknown gender flowed.
[is it.]
“yes. “The forward base has collapsed to the point where it cannot perform its functions, and all surviving angels are scheduled to be executed tomorrow for tarnishing the prestige of the Celestial God.”
It was news that the heavens had been shattered, but the words of the angel who delivered the news were not filled with any emotion.
The tone was as if something natural had happened. And the answer of the person on the throne who responded to the news was also unexpected.
[Everything goes according to plan.]
“That’s right. But… … “May I dare to say something?”
[Yes.]
“Wouldn’t it have been a great loss to throw away Archangel Sophiel as food? She will most likely become the best sword in heaven in the future.”
The feeling of ‘it’s a waste’ passed through Chicheonsa’s expression as she said that. But the figure on the throne did not think so.
[Ilshin’s helplessness. Of course it’s important. But what is more important is the offering for Yeokcheon. Can’t you hear this now?]
Ugh.
At that moment, the throne on which the man was sitting glowed and vibrated slightly. Hearing that sound, the face of Chicheonsa, who was kneeling on his knees, turned pale and he lowered his head even more.
[Her soul was noble. It will definitely be the best sacrifice. Her talent with the sword was superb, but the quality of her soul was even sweeter.]
The being on the throne said so, like a gourmet who ate great food. Qi Angel trembled in fear and begged for forgiveness.
“It was a mistake. “Please forgive me.”
[Okay. More than that, what is the identity of the intruders?]
“According to the information about the survivors, there are a total of three. One has bare hands. One is a sword. One is said to be three men fighting with spears as weapons. “There is no other information at all.”
[Only three people took down that base. Did the demon god come directly with the corps commander?]
“We couldn’t see his face because of the mask.”
[Well, it really doesn’t matter if you’re a demon god. Rather, it is something to be welcomed. Isn’t it because the best soul came rolling in?]
The being on the throne said that and laughed.
[Let the final oratorio begin.]
