Episode 322. Salvation for the Savior (2)
‘Our gods will leave this world in a little while.’
‘… … ?’
‘It’s sudden, right? I understand. But life is essentially a series of surprises. ‘You never know when and where something might happen, so always be prepared.’
This was not something that could be resolved by saying it was sudden.
While I was still worried about Xian, he suddenly appeared in my mind and left a message that he was leaving.
It was a difficult situation for Ellis.
‘What is the reason for you leaving so suddenly?’
‘Because you don’t need us anymore.’
Aquanis’ answer was firm yet concise.
‘I wonder if I should have done this sooner, but what can I do? Just do it now and stop. Still, wouldn’t it be better to find your savior with your own hands?’
‘yes?’
‘This is the last gift we give you.’
Aquanis sent a route to a certain subspace in Alice’s head.
‘Sian Berth. Save him.’
It was only 30 minutes ago that I stopped responding after hearing that request.
Accordingly, Ellis headed straight to Journe with his companions.
Then, I went to the exact location given by Aquanis and opened the gate.
-Kugugung
However, the subspace beyond the gate was already collapsing with a loud noise.
“Is this subspace?”
“Is Papa here?”
“Isn’t there something wrong with going in?”
“But if there is a cyan over there… … !”
Novelty or anxiety.
Most people just looked beyond the gate with blank faces due to the unexpected situation in the space.
“Why are you hesitating?”
Lunav looked at them with pitiful eyes and urged them.
“If there is a senior here, shouldn’t we go?”
Then, without any hesitation, I jumped in first.
“Now, wait a minute, Lunav!”
Without any time to stop Runab, she fell into the collapsing sub-space in an instant.
“I have to go too! People who are anxious don’t have to follow!”
Arin was ready to jump in at any moment.
“Get up here, Arin!”
Arin’s eyes turned to Nana’s voice ringing with the wind.
Nana, who suddenly transformed from a human to a dragon, was ready to pick everyone up.
With no one remaining, everyone threw themselves into subspace to save Xian.
-Whoop!
Lunav, who was the first to jump in, used flight magic to freely fly her body and search for Xian’s whereabouts.
“There is no time! If we don’t find Xian quickly, we’ll be caught up in a collapsing sub-space!”
Ellis hurried everyone, letting them know that time was running out.
“It smells like Papa!”
Nana, who caught Sian’s scent, headed in the direction the scent led.
“Over there!”
Arin, who was the first to spot Xian, shouted.
“draft!”
“… … .”
However, Sian just closed his eyes and made no reaction.
“young master!”
“Papa!”
Others also cried desperately, but to no avail.
“Stick closer, Nana!”
“Leave it to me!”
Nana flapped her wings more vigorously and increased her speed.
“draft!!”
As the distance got closer, Arin called out to Xian louder.
“… … ?”
At this, Xian’s eyes, which had been closed, finally opened.
Xian’s eyes, facing everyone in the collapsing sub-space, were more embarrassed than ever.
Arin’s face was a mixture of joy at having found Xian and urgency that time was running out.
“Hold my hand, Xian!”
I stretched out my hand towards Xian.
Following Arin, Ellis, Hastia, Emily, Brian, Set, Mia, Nana, and Lunav.
To save the savior who created their world,
Everyone stretched out their hands without hesitation.
“… … .”
Xian naturally stretched out his hand as if drawn to that salvation.

-chin!
“Gotcha!”
* * *
A familiar space with black fog everywhere.
At first glance, it was similar to the atmosphere of the sub-space where Aer’s altar is located, but the feeling was very different.
“… … .”
About ten steps ahead, I saw the back of a familiar red short-haired woman.
Eventually, she turned around and I approached her without saying a word.
Even after he got closer, he didn’t say anything.
He just pats my shoulder and comforts me.
It felt like he was trying to console me for my hard work.
Her touch was very soft, and soon she gently cupped my cold, rough face.
“Good job.”
With those words, she hugged me tightly.
hardship.
It’s hard work.
Well, I didn’t really think it was a hard time, but since you said that, I guess it was something like that.
Suddenly, this thought comes to me again.
In this world we worked so hard to create,
I wish you were there too.
With that thought, my mind returned to reality.
“… … .”
As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was Nana sleeping deeply on my lap.
Around them are Brian, Emily, Hastia, and Mia.
Everyone must have been quite tired and were sleeping soundly.
I quietly went out so as not to disturb his sound sleep.
Although it was quite late, there were many drivers outside moving to evacuate the camp.
This camp was prepared to prevent the invasion of the Dark Elves, but now that it is no longer needed, all that remains is to withdraw.
I quickly left the camp so as not to be seen by them.
The night sky sparkles with countless stars as if embroidered.
As I continued to walk aimlessly, I found myself in front of a cliff with openings on all sides.
There was a clear view of the camp below the cliff.
I sat down at the edge of the cliff.
I heard the whole story from Elise as soon as I got out of subspace.
He said that after receiving a message from the goddess to save me, he came to subspace with everyone else.
Supreme beings are shit.
Did you plan from the beginning to let them save me?
Without needing to look any further, I knew right away that it was the will of that stupid god.
[Why did I meet a master like you… … .]
Then, naturally, Kayram’s last appearance came to mind.
I wonder if she knows I’m safe by now?
When I thought about how she shed tears as she mourned the separation from me, my heart sank for some reason.
As if I was being guided by something, I put my hand into my left arm, where I always kept the magic sword.
Well, of course it’s empty… … .
“… … ?”
what is this?
The body of the magic sword proudly and shamelessly held in my right hand.
Why is this here?
I definitely would have given it to Aer… … !
-sssss
Suddenly, a familiar black fog appeared before my eyes.
[Oh my master~! What are you doing here alone?]
All the muscles and nerves of my body twitched at once, as if I had heard the whispers of the Death God.
[Contrary to what I was worried about, your limbs are completely fine. I’m so happy that I don’t know what to do!]
well? Aside from being happy, why do I feel alive in words?
Along with the voice, I felt a cool hand penetrate my back,
-Kwaak
He held my shoulders and head tightly.
As if trying to prevent him from escaping.
“you… … “Didn’t you go?”
[I went and came back, you damn owner!]
She strangled me mercilessly, as if trying to send me back to the depths of hell after struggling with my best efforts.
“Ah, Ammu Type 9… The magic sword… … !”
[Do you think that kind of thing will work now that even the idiot God has left!!]
Oh, I see.
With the owner of the water that provided me power gone, I was now just a weak human being who could not use the power of God.
All you can do in that situation is
The only thing I can do is to quietly receive her punishment.
Kayram’s intense return ceremony(?) lasted for about 30 more minutes.
[after… … .]
After finally calming down, she took a long breath.
“I would have said I would get out alive, right?”
[Shut your mouth? I can’t help but say that I did a good job when I barely got it with the help of the little guys!]
If you’re going to argue, wouldn’t it be better if you argued with that stupid God of Fog, not me?
Thinking of him giggling to himself after anticipating this situation, I suddenly felt irritated.
[When I get back, I’ll start by scolding that idiot! Now that I’ve confirmed that you’re safe, I’m leaving! You can live well or not.]
Contrary to expectations, Kayram only checked my safety and turned around without hesitation.
“what? “It goes like this?”
[Then did you think I was going to throw a birthday party or something?]
“No, I don’t think I’ll shed any tears of farewell like I did then… … .”
-Whoosh!
[Joe, don’t be quiet! Do you want to tear that mouth apart?]
Kayram ran up to me in an instant and covered my mouth.
My face turned bright red, as if I was so embarrassed.
[Where did you go that made me cry? Just go around saying strange things! At that time, I will do whatever it takes to come and rip your limbs to shreds!!]
I just nodded my head a couple of times without saying a word.
A forbidden secret was unintentionally created.
[Ugh! I should have just caught it from the beginning! Well, who are you going to blame now? You should blame me for raising you so carelessly!]
You’re saying things you don’t mean.
“… … .”
[…] … .]
“What are you doing? “Aren’t you going?”
I should have warned you, but now the only thing left to do is to go.
For some reason, Kayram didn’t leave and looked into my eyes for a long time.
[But we still have to leave traces for each other, right?]
Then he suddenly grabbed my face with a sinister smile,
“… … “Inhale!”
He delivered a surprise headbutt to my lips.
He even put his tongue inside and sucked it without mercy.
Unable to resist, I just grabbed the ground with my hands.
[under… … !]
Soon feeling satisfied, she traced her lips with her tongue and smiled seductively.
“what are you doing!?”
I asked with a straight face.
[What are you doing? Of course it left a trace!]
“trace?”
[okay! The traces of me that were on your body! If we leave it like this, wouldn’t it be better to remember that we were together?]
With those words, Kayram quickly turned into fog.
[Here we go, owner~!]
After saying her final greeting with a bright smile, she completely disappeared.
Along with the main body of the magic sword he was holding in his hand.
She really is a woman whose true feelings are unknown to the end.
-Ssuk
Meanwhile, a noise was heard from the direction where Kayram disappeared.
“draft?”
She was so surprised when she found me.
It was none other than Princess Arin.
“Why are you here?”
I just vaguely said I was taking a walk.
“Then why are you here, princess?”
“I just can’t sleep, so… … .”
She quietly came over and sat down next to me.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“There is no particular problem.”
“A world where God has disappeared. I’m still dazed. “If this fact becomes known to the world, there will definitely be great confusion, right?”
“It’s entirely up to us whether we get through that mess or not.”
“You’re right. “I’m sure we can get through it.”
Princess Arin didn’t seem to be too worried, as expected.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
“I haven’t thought of anything else yet.”
“okay? Then maybe… … .”
“You won’t be the princess’s person.”
There was silence for a moment at my firm answer.
“Are you really funny? Who wants you as mine? “I gave up that feeling a long time ago, right?”
“Is that so?”
I felt embarrassed for some reason.
“I thought I needed you before, but not now. “Because now, even without you, I fully know what I need to do and how to do it.”
“what… … Are you saying you want to do it?”
“Isn’t it obvious? “I should become an emperor.”
Her eyes were very firm and strong.
It is incomparable to the foolish and foolish Princess Arin of the past.
“I don’t know when it will be. But if I really become emperor, will you give me a gift?”
“You mean a gift?”
“huh! “Give me one sword as a gift.”
It was an unexpected request for me.
“You said that children of the Berth family receive swords as a gift when they turn seven, right? “It means developing the strength to protect yourself and the world, starting with that sword.”
“You know everything.”
“I heard it from Abama before. You were the first person to advise me to become emperor, right? Maybe that’s why I really wanted to receive it from you.”
The princess waited for an answer from me, her eyes bright as a child.
“Well, I will. If that’s what the princess wants… … .”
“Thank you Sian!”
I haven’t even received it yet, but I wonder if I already need to thank you.
Well, I decided to just leave it alone for now.
As for whether she can really become emperor or not,
We still have to wait and see.
Princess Arin and I, under the night sky with the bright moonlight shining down,
An unconditional promise was made.
* * *
1 year later.
Belias, western front of the Usif Empire.
In the middle of a garden full of rainbow-colored flowers, a memorial was erected to honor someone.
The name ‘Willius Wert’ was written on the tombstone, and in front of it was a white long sword that the owner of the tombstone had used during his lifetime.
“… … .”
Arin and Resimus commemorated the sword’s owner in front of him.
“Any news about the Yulken knight?”
“We often hear eyewitness accounts of similar people seen throughout the empire, but there is no definitive news yet.”
“I see… … .”
Arin looked solemnly at the memorial with sad eyes.
“Did Duke Berthe really fall victim to the power of deception?”
“yes?”
“No, just. I’ve been thinking that way lately. Did Duke Berthe really order Lieutenant Yulken to plan a rebellion? … . In fact, I think he left some kind of ordeal for me.”
“This is Duke Berthe, who lived for the peace of the empire and the continent more than anyone else. It seems entirely possible that he did.”
Resimus agreed with Arin’s thoughts.
It’s already been a year since the nobles’ rebellion led by Prince Ruinel was suppressed.
Arin gave relatively lenient punishment to the nobles who participated in the rebellion, including Prince Ruinel, confiscating only some of their property and territory.
Afterwards, Emperor Dione, who judged that he could no longer perform his duties as emperor due to health problems, declared that he would relinquish the throne, and Arin, who received overwhelming support from the emperor and the people, was elected as the new emperor candidate.
Of course, there were quite a few people who opposed her because she was still young and from humble origins, but compared to a year ago when the rebellion occurred, it was only at a minor level.
Right now, there is just one week left from the emperor’s coronation.
As Arin thought about her future responsibilities, she was already worried and anxious.
But worrying won’t change anything,
“Watch me. Duke Berthe… … .”
Arin left with Resimus after swearing an oath to Duke Berthe, who saved her from the demon world.
“There won’t be time to wander around like this anymore, right?”
“You won’t have enough time to eat.”
“Are you scaring me already, Resimus?”
“This doesn’t even fall into the scare axis.”
While we were walking back and talking about various things,
“… … ?”
Arin suddenly felt a familiar presence and turned her head.
“Why are you doing this, princess?”
“Oh, no, I guess I saw something wrong.”
Arin, who thought she had seen something in vain, turned her eyes back to the direction she was going.
“uh?”
A small tree on one side of the street.
Under that tree branch, an unidentifiable object was hanging on a string.
Arin immediately ran over to check it.
“I think it’s a dagger?”
It was a luxurious dagger with a harmonious combination of black and white.
When I took out the sheath and checked the blade, it was so sharp that it could cut even falling leaves.
The name ‘Arin Sebellus’ was written in the center of the blade.
“Really, it won’t change?”
Arin, who realized the identity of the sword, suddenly ran in the direction where she had sensed someone just moments ago.
“Woe, princess? Where are you going?”
A panicked Resimus hurriedly followed and shouted, but Arin did not respond and just ran around looking around.
The place where we finally stopped was on a hill with wide open spaces.
When I saw a man walking down there wearing a hood, I shouted loudly at him.
“draft!!”
Xian stopped walking and turned around when he heard a voice calling him.
“If you’re going to give a gift, give it yourself! “What are you going to do if I leave you like this without saying anything?”
“… … .”
Sian looked at Arin indifferently, asking, “What more do you want?”
Arin, who met those steady eyes, burst into laughter, but
“Thank you for the gift!”
He waved his hand widely and expressed his gratitude with a sincere smile.
Xian, who was looking at this in silence,
“I heard it’s still the same… … .”
I sighed and laughed.
