6.
-mother?
The Saegi tribe spoke to the paladin.
The paladin was casting his gaze somewhere. The Saegi people also looked at the same place with their webbed feet on the rock, flapping their tails and splashing about in the water.
-Mother, why are you interested in where the fairies are… ?
“no. It’s so absurd. “After talking about parents and children for a long time, that person really can’t help it.”
-…….
There was a bitter smile on the paladin’s mouth. That seems to have stimulated the anxiety of the Saegi people.
-We know a lot about our mother, but we don’t know much about that person. Are you a good person?
“He is a sad person.”
The Paladin simply defined the count like this.
“And a bright person.”
And the paladin was lost in thought. He seemed to briefly remember his past.
It wasn’t for long.
“hmm.”
The paladin picked up the helmet he had left on the edge of the rock. Crash. Without a word, she put her helmet back on.
Inside the helmet, chatter from the world was filtered out. The dazzling colors of the world have become narrower. The filtered and narrowed field of view was small enough to remind me of only the things I had to do.
“You Saegi people.”
The paladin stood up and looked around.
In the river where the rocky island sank, there were countless mermaids swimming or backsliding, and the number of mermaids looking up at the Holy Knight quickly grew into tens of thousands.
“Thank you for comforting me when I was a mess and praising my mistakes as beautiful. “The stories you told me tonight, the sight of you crossing the dark waters, I will keep in my heart for the rest of my life.”
-Are you leaving, Mom?
“I’ll come visit you sometimes.”
The paladin nodded.
“I have a lot of work to do too. Can not help it.”
-…….
There was silence.
The river and sea water where the Saegi people lived always flooded irregularly. The Saegi tribe developed a habit of holding each other tightly and whispering to each other. This time too, they gently grabbed their compatriot’s shoulders, one by one, and then one by one to ten, and the whispers were contagious.
-mother.
The whispering is over.
A mermaid spoke on behalf of the Saegi tribe.
-Aren’t you going to take us with you too?
“…….”
-You said there was a place called a tower. He said it was a place we would soon see. If her mother’s hometown is there, wouldn’t it be okay for us to follow her mother there too?
-We love water. But we love the land we can’t swim a little more. If that is the land where my mother lives, I will love it even more.
-Please take us with you.
The paladin was speechless.
I touched the hilt of the sword without saying a word.
“There are a lot of mean people in the tower. “I don’t want you to be hurt by those people.”
-What kind of mean people?
“They will call you fish just because you have a tail. “I’m going to call it a fish not because I think it’s a funny joke, but because I simply want to make you feel bad.”
-…….
“There are many, many people who live their lives thinking that as long as they can ruin other people’s feelings, nothing else matters. so… .”
-mother.
The Saegi tribe looked at each other, and then looked up at the Paladin.
-There are a lot of ordinary people like that here too.
The paladin kept his mouth shut.
-There are many among us.
– Weak people.
– Sick people.
-There are many people in the world who bully others because they are bothered.
-Such people are everywhere at any time and will continue to exist in the future.
-Not beyond them.
-Between us.
The Saegi people spoke together.
-So that can’t be a reason why we shouldn’t see our mother’s world.
“I am… … .”
The moment the paladin hesitated.
“Wait.”
Someone grabbed the paladin’s shoulder.
The hands were gentle and full of consideration, but with a firm will.
The paladin only knew of one person who grabbed his shoulder like this.
[The Death King has descended.]
7.
“You don’t have to be so scared, senior.”
“… … “Death King.”
The paladin turned his head and looked at me.

“What do you mean, I’m scared?”
I didn’t answer.
For example, he did not say that he was afraid that the Saegi clan would find out that the Holy Knight himself was just one of those ‘ordinary’ people.
I just said cheerfully.
“How about something like this?”
“what kind of thing?”
“Instead of inviting the Saegi children to our tower all at once, after the 11th floor. We are sending you to study abroad in the Aegim Empire. “Mermaids live there too.”
“ah.”
The paladin opened his eyes wide.
I nodded.
‘It’s unlikely you’ll be able to think of it. Because the Paladin did not participate in the attack at that time.’
Something like that happened.
At that time, as a warrior, I gathered a ghost. But the Aegim Empire did not know this fact yet. They formed a multi-ethnic alliance and chased after the witch, saying they were going to catch her, and among them was this person.
『In Socheop’s view, the issue at hand right now is simple. I,”
『Is the young man really the Emperor Shi Huangdi’s predecessor? Are those women really witches? All you have to do is check these and the problem is over.』
『This is a soul gem given by the wise king of mermaids.』
『If you drop a drop of blood here, you can find out whether the owner of the blood has a [good soul] or an [evil soul]!』
As everyone knows, I coolly sprinkled my blood on the jewel.
“ah? Uh, uh… ?』
『Uh, how… … . How can a soul be like this… . How many lives have been saved? This pure white thing… This is literally… … !” “this person is… … He is light… … !』
Shining Confucius.
That was the moment I ascended to that position.
“The mermaids who live on the 15th floor there are very friendly to me. I think I am a true apostle of God. No, well, the god there is the [Guardian Goddess], and this guardian goddess has become glitter and is on my belt, so it’s not a particularly wrong analysis… .”
The sheath of the sword on my waist was shaking. It was like she was protesting to take better care of herself.
Do I meet the owner of the tower, raise the children well, mediate between colleagues, and joke around with Bae Hu-ryeong? There’s a lot of work to do. Shiny. Please be patient a little longer. Someday, there might be a spin-off about a gourmet travelogue starring you, like ‘Twinkle Goddess’ Tower 1st Floor Dining Diary’.
anyway.
“The point is that there are mermaids living in another world who are very friendly to me.”
“…….”
“Like a kind of tutorial. “Wouldn’t it be a suitable study abroad destination for Saegi people?”
The paladin looked into my eyes.
“Can you give me a leg?”
“of course. Networks are meant to be used for times like this, but are they there for other times?”
“Death King… No, Gongja Kim.”
The paladin’s expression changed.
Because there was so little change in facial expression, even I could only read the facial expressions as [Are you in a good mood] or [Are you in a stiff mood], but the expression the paladin showed this time was read so clearly.
“Show respect.”
“no no. There is nothing to be thankful for. “I’m just doing the obvious.”
“Gongja Kim. No, Light Confucius. “You are really kind.”
“Ahaha… I have to be kind. Um, anyway—”
“You’re kind and handsome. “They say a person’s life is revealed on their face. Is that true?”
“no… “I needed to come back to life, so I didn’t bother to do something like that.”
“Even your voice is beautiful. It would be suitable for me to become a singer right now. Is this Natural Born Singer? “Sing Gongja.”
“Xinggongja? hmm… uh… senior. hey?”
“He’s kind, handsome, and sings well, so I think he’ll do well to avoid military service. I heard there is military service in Korea. Are you a military veteran? Military Confucius.”
“No, it changed to a volunteer military system when I was young!? And the story of celebrities skipping military service is a really, really old story. Above all, since he is a top ranker, even if there was a conscription system, there is a high possibility that he would have been exempted from military service to promote national prestige or something… .”
“I’m sure so. A person of national merit.”
“Yes, as a person of national merit… No, anyway, senior! Are you kidding me!? Just like when I first made the blood drama!?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The paladin made a fool of himself.
I sighed. The paladin smiled slightly at me and grabbed my shoulder.
pulled.
“Tsk,”
Naturally, I bent my back.
With his arms around my neck, the Holy Knight showed my face to the Sagittarius.
“It is Death King. He is the god of the designated tribes and the ranker of our tower. As you can see, he is my junior and also my friend.”
The Saegi tribe chattered.
-Death King!
-God of designated tribes!
-Mother’s junior!
-Mother’s friend!
-A person of national merit!
Damn, my face feels like it’s going to catch fire…
“So, Death King.”
The paladin released his arms from around my neck. A soft smile was on his lips.
“Thank you for the really good comments. hmm. “Let’s try planning according to the Death King’s eye.”
And the paladin quickly put together a proposal.
Selecting some international students and sending them to [Mermaid Falls of the Aegim Empire].
The idea is to observe the problems or conflicts that arise there, create solutions, and then gradually increase the number of international students.
After that, we will gradually increase the number of study abroad destinations, and ultimately invite the Saegi people to [Babylon], the city on the first floor of our tower.
“Hehe.”
The paladin laughed slightly. The Saegi tribe seemed to be convinced by this proposal and decided to follow the Holy Knight’s words without any opposition. “What would a mermaid from another world look like?” “They live not in the sea, but in a huge lake.” “Is there really a lake that big?” I got excited.
Just like children going on a school trip.
“You really don’t know what life is like.”
“yes?”
“Even though it’s just a metaphor, wouldn’t I end up in the shoes of a parent raising children? Wouldn’t I reconcile with the Black Dragon Master and become friends again? My relationship with other guild leaders… .”
The paladin looked at me with a smile. However, the gaze was directed somewhere other than me.
“… … really. “Things like that happened.”
The paladin’s voice suddenly became distant.
Are you reminiscing about old times?
“…….”
I kept my mouth shut this time too.
Before reaching the 15th floor of the tower where the mermaids’ lake exists. When I first climbed to the 13th floor of the tower, we were divided by the traitor inside.
had been divided.
“…….”
I guessed who the traitor was. However, instead of revealing the traitor, they buried it deep by changing the stage itself to prevent such a thing from happening.
At that time, I sometimes wondered whether it was a good thing to not investigate the traitor’s identity, but the moment I saw the side face of the paladin, I was able to think without wavering.
‘okay.’
It was a good thing.
‘That’s enough.’
The early morning fog was slowly rising in the jungle. Under the palm tree, the Heretic Questioner was continuing to talk about something with the Sanwa tribe. The Heretic Questioner’s expression was serious, but occasionally he smiled like he always did.
On the other hand, the Count was stroking the fairies’ heads. Is this some kind of loyalty oath? Or is it the first expression of affection a parent shows to their child? Probably both, but the Count was smiling and the fairies looked happy.
“thanks.”
The paladin said.
And looked at me.
“You are a good friend. Gongja Kim.”
“…….”
“Patricia.”
There was silence.
“That’s my real name. Patricia. From now on, you can call me Patricia when no one else is around. “If the vigilantes hear about it, there might be controversy over favoritism in various ways.”
“…….”
“The children you raised will definitely understand you. “Me amigo.”
The paladin walked to the stream where mermaids were splashing in the water. Then he took off his heavy armor, helmet, and gloves and dived among the mermaids. [Quest progress.]
[Voting for new members begins.]
with a splash!
[Vote counting completed.]
[Vote percentage 2: 01.32 percent]
[Vote rate 1: 98.68 percent]
[Please note that number 1 received more than half of the votes.]
From afar, the sound of the Saegi tribe laughing was heard.
I’ve heard of a God who walked with me, I’ve heard of a God who carried me on my back, and I’ve even heard of a God who danced with me… … .
A god swimming with them would be a happiness only available to the Saegi clan.
[Stage cleared.]
[The 42nd floor stage has been cleared!]
I watched for a long time the sight of gods, tribes, parents and children swimming in a river filled with palm trees.
and.
“Ugor.”
The familiar voice of a familiar child was heard from behind me.
“Abby.”
Uburqa.
I nodded.
‘okay.’
The Heretic Inquisitor, Count, and Paladin cleared the stage one after another, so now it is the Black Dragon Master and my turn.
As the Black Dragon Master left the waiting room, he said, ‘Never peek! Gongja Kim! If you peek, I’ll poison you!’ And he made a promise to me. He doesn’t want anyone to see him talking openly with vampires in parent mode. What can I say?
Anastasia’s seriousness was felt in the fact that she mentioned specific methods such as ‘poisoning’ rather than simply killing her.
What should I do?
A brat who doesn’t have the skill to kill poisons and stings should be squeezed out.
“Whoa… … .”
But unlike Anastasia, I am not embarrassed at all. How close am I to children? Rather, I hope that everyone will be envious after seeing how harmoniously I chat with my children and how strong the relationship between parents and children is. I would appreciate it if you felt jealous.
“Oh, Uburkaya—.”
I slowly turned my back and opened my arms, planning to hug Uburka.
The Heretic Questioner showed mental growth by showing sympathy for the children, the Count showed off his capitalist virtue of providing children with jobs, and the Holy Knight showed off his mentality of always prioritizing children’s hearts.
I, Gongja Kim, are literally heaven.
So to speak, Sky.
They have the confidence to show their spiritual growth, capitalist virtues, and even their mentality.
Of course.
Unlike other parents, I knew from the beginning that my true self would one day be revealed to my children.
If you get tired, it’s a disaster.
In some ways, the biggest enemy in life is one’s own children, and in that sense, children from designated tribes are absolutely no enemies for me, who already has insight into everything.
‘Ugor! Even when her colleagues laughed at her and asked why she chose goblins, Abby steadfastly chose our designated tribe… … !’
Or something.
‘I heard it was a legend that Abby taught us all about letters and tattoos, but seeing it in person as an image in my head was truly moving! Ugor! How can it be that Abby hasn’t taken care of everything for us?’
Or something.
‘Abby’s grace is like heaven, there is no way I can repay it… . If it weren’t for Abby, we wouldn’t have been the losers of the continent, and we would have been even more grumpy than we are now. Abby is a true friend.’
etc.
In my ears, hundreds of thousands of designated tribes, including Uburka, are already shouting, ‘Abby! A voice was heard singing a hymn, ‘Abby!’
Of course, regarding this praise, I
‘no way. What are you talking about? ‘It’s all because you’re so successful.’
‘It’s enough for this father to see you grow up and grow up… .’
‘I love you, children…’ !’
And I am ready to humble you.
It’s perfect.
From now on, I am no longer the light. It is a sky filled with light.
Sky, not The Shining.
The glorious moment when you will be reborn as a true sky prince will unfold now.
I looked back, widening the business smile trained by the Black Dragon Master.
Anticipating a passionate hug from your child.
“Honey, don’t you want to be hugged by me—.”
“Abby.”
There was something passionate about it.
“The back was completely empty.”
A huge ax flew towards my chest.
“—Mom, what the f*ck!?”
Tit!
The reason I was able to avoid that blow was purely thanks to my advanced state. Maybe it was because I had a premonition of something unusual from Bae Hu-ryeong’s table, who had been watching me with an expression of inexhaustible pity, but even if that were the case, I wouldn’t have been able to avoid it if it weren’t for my mysterious footwork.
“Ugh.”
Uburka, wielding an axe, frowned.
And then he spat on the floor.
“Abby’s movements are reminiscent of a squirrel running around in the forest. “I thought the attack went perfectly.”
“What are you doing? Uburka!”
I looked over Uburka’s shoulder in confusion. The children who had followed Uburka, the designated tribesmen whose hearts were now red as well as their skin, were standing in droves.
Unless my eyeball was seriously damaged, they also had a weapon in each hand.
It could be said that it was a very inappropriate type of item to equip when meeting parents.
“A touching reunion!? “Didn’t you see a video of me taking care of you and cherishing you for thousands of years!?”
“I saw.”
“I saw it, but why are you swinging the ax?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Uburka bared his fangs.
“I’ve known for a long time that Abby cares about us, so now that I’m watching it on video, I’m not particularly impressed.”
“W-what?”
“Think about it. Ugh. Whenever we are bored, we go to the theater and watch a blood drama. The topic that comes up every day in blood dramas is the story of Abby’s love, trials, and friends. “The blood drama with Abby as the main character has been worn down so much that now all designated tribes can recite it with their eyes closed.”
“…….”
“You seem to have forgotten that people have a threshold, Abby.”
Unbelievable.
What is this?
Is this a phenomenon where if you give too much love on a daily basis, you take that love for granted and don’t feel filial piety toward your parents?
“No way!”
“do.”
Buuuuung!
Uburka swung his ax once again. This time, I even carefully wrapped the aura. As he absorbed the Qi Dragon, his level as an Auror grew to a higher level, and his attack power, which he had not been able to achieve before, became fabled.
“Hi!? “Save Abby!”
“Oh oh! “I’ve been waiting so long for a day like today to come!”
Uburka’s biceps were throbbing.
“I was defeated by Abby on the first day we met! Even after ascending to the Constellation, I was attacked by Abby! But, but, today! “Today, after eating the turtle’s head, I will finally show Abby my true worth!”
“You crazy guy! “You should have lost twice, but you still cherish that in your heart!?”
“Ugor. “Who do you think I am, Abby?”
[A muscle pig dreaming of becoming a leader roars.]
“I am the chairman of the Huaxia Council who only dreams of hitting Abby, the warrior general of the Four Kings, and Abby’s child, Uburka!”
Look at this kid’s nickname?
etc,
