The Paladin Owns the Relic

196 – Behind the scenes (6)

“I heard the story.”

“What story?”

“I heard you were holding Fabian?”

“…Who did it?”

“Did you tell me everything?”

“These are light-mouthed children.”

The mixed feet are soft. Even the steps are light.

There is no sound in footsteps. It’s like a snake

Camilla’s eyebrows curled lightly.

“That’s right, baby. Are you different too?”

“I’ve thought about it before, but it’s strange to hear someone much shorter than me saying baby.”

“Oops. The original figure is much bigger than this? Don’t get me wrong.”

“Not now.”

“Seeing through the essence is always the most important thing. Baby Don’t turn around.”

“…Is it slightly different?”

“Are you born again?”

“A. Too wrong.”

“My dear. You are imperfect, but you smell of God.”

Camilla sniffed.

“…I want to observe a little more.”

“Isn’t it time to go back to the church?”

“I’d like to say, as I said before, that the Church can’t control me… but…”

Camilla pulled me over. Her tongue stuck out just as her nose was about to touch.

It’s light.

“……?!”

“I think something important is about to begin, so I have to go back to the church. Baby Are you sorry?”

“What, what are you going to do?!”

“Oops. Stop without me knowing.”

I sighed. Following the dance line she had become accustomed to to some extent by now, she turned Camilla around.

“Camilla.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Thank you.”

“…It was just a whim.”

“But you helped me, right? And this…”

Hand over one of the belongings you naturally brought.

“…A cursed branch?”

“This is Mistiltein. Take it.”

“Suddenly?”

“Now I don’t need it.”

“If you give it to me, I will gladly accept it…”

Camilla nodded her head.

“I don’t know about the church, but I really don’t need it.”

“Aren’t you here to get this?”

“What? I was just curious about who had the item that had sunk to the bottom of the water. In the first place, holy relics are of no help to me.”

“…Then.”

“But if you give it to me, there is no reason to refuse it.”

Camilla swallowed her ring. The moment she felt tight, her eyes sharpened.

“…Aha? Is it completely different from what you thought? It’s not a supernatural being… It’s that the holy relic itself is used as a vessel.”

“Please treat me well. Unlike Ra, Naga-sama never cheated on me.”

“Huh. Such a cunning fellow.”

“What is it?”

“Since you can no longer take care of her, aren’t you asking me to take care of her instead of you? To pass it on quietly.”

Camilla tugged at my neck.

“But I don’t hate that kind of kindness.”

Page.

“…….?!”

This time we reached it. Certainly her mouth touched. As she was messing around, Beatrice burst into anger.

-What what what what what?!

“My dear. Isn’t that You are the first.”

Camilla’s body was covered in shadows.

“A person who wants to go on a road together again.”

The image of Camilla, which flowed like her ink, completely disappeared. She is such a snake.

When she leaves, she is sure and leaves.

– Aww!

“…Why are you so angry?”

-Now, if you’re going to mess around with Zahard, you’ll have to ask for my permission!

“Why?”

-My, my teacher’s role is to make sure my student doesn’t go astray…!

Tak.

Caught.

To a person with different right and left arms.

“…President. Bad.”

His warm black hair is tight and he puts his head on his right arm.

“You’ve been looking for a while since the tent.”

The gray hair with puffed cheeks pushes the horn to his left arm.

“Maya and… Amar?”

“Maya. I talked to Amar.”

“It’s a little shameful to be alone.”

“So.”

“Yes. Senior Maya.”

Amar burned Maya with a lantern.

“Maya. Heresy combination.”

“Come on! Let’s dance! Zahard!”

“What are you dancing like this?!”

I laughed. Just because it’s fun

Still, I asked just in case.

“Yes. I’ve been there for about 2 years…”

“President. Turn around?”

“Yes. No.”

“…Is that so?”

I don’t know about the others, but I’ll have to take these two.

“Let’s go together. The three of us.”

. . .

Lunaris, Queen of the Forest, sat on a hill and looked down at her.

A festival of humans. Garnet was shining brightly.

It is more beautiful to live in the moment. How is human life so shiny?

It’s not that I love them. But Lunaris, she sometimes thought they were envious.

Because they have an incomparable time with spirits…

I can brighten up such a short time.

“……”

And…Now I also…

“Your Majesty.”

“It’s okay with Lunaris.”

“How can I?”

Lunaris frowned at her. He snapped her head behind her.

I saw a knight of the forest walking silently in the reversed world. Duran.

A man whose distance has narrowed but remains the same.

“…Why are the distances the same?”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Keep a distance of 2 meters.”

“This distance is the most suitable for escorting His Majesty…”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Where did all that momentum go?

Lunaris patted the seat next to her. The young girl’s appearance did not suit her. There was not much strength in her hand in her slash, which she did not like.

But it was fine.

If only there was a forest knight next to me.

“…I’m sorry if you don’t come.”

“I will go.”

Duran quickly sat down next to me. Lunaris turned her head away.

“…Wait a minute.”

“Yes?”

“I told you to sit next to me…why are you sitting there?”

A close place that almost hugs Lunaris. At a distance where his back and the knight’s chest were almost touching, Duran tilted his head.

“I thought it would be better to sit here if I was going to sit down.”

“Is this a bear or a fox?”

“Yes?”

“…I’m talking to myself.”

Lunaris sighed and leaned the back of her head against Duran. I let go of the arm that wrapped around him quietly.

Rather, it was more comfortable that way. Being embraced by someone like this is a very pleasant thing.

“…Did you pay off all your debts with this?”

“I think there is a lot left.”

“Isn’t it?”

Lunaris thought of a paladin. The one who created a new life based on the last remaining piece of his soul.

It’s like…A person with god-like power.

Lunaris snapped his hand. There wasn’t much power left in the handful of soul fragments.

At most, you can handle hundreds of lower level spirits.

The connection with the rest of the spirits was also severed. He was in a situation where he did not know how the hidden Guardians would treat him.

“…What happened to the elves?”

“I heard you are coming here with an army.”

“Are you trying to subdue the scattered spirits?”

“I don’t know. But… It’s the one who started the war first, so I think it’s hard to see a good attitude.”

“…Isn’t it?”

Take responsibility.

For what you’ve done.

The forest queen sighed.

“…I have no intention of avoiding it. Because it was me who ruined everything around her. So… let’s sort them out one by one.”

“I will help.”

Thank you. Duran. There is only you.”

“It’s embarrassing to say that.”

Lunaris opened her eyes wide. She turned her head toward the sudden sound she heard.

The wind shook.

“Your Majesty. Long time no see.”

“…Why is the guardian here…”

“After restoring her body, I have been looking for it all along.”

Did he come for revenge…?

Did she come to ask for the price for giving an order she didn’t want?

But she didn’t get the reaction she expected.

The dirt was pushed aside. The protruding dragon pushed Duran’s body away.

“Hug with care. Duran. His Majesty’s body has become weak.”

“That’s right. Forest knight. Her Majesty needs absolute stability.”

The water fox yawned lazily.

“I am tired. Your majesty. When will she go back to the forest?”

“…Can I go back?”

“Of course. That is where His Majesty resides. The queen is always one.”

“But I…”

She was tricked. To the fake world tree.

And as a result of that, she hurt countless spirits.

In retrospect, it was downright crazy. It was no different than forcing unrelated spirits to bleed.

“Shh. Your majesty.”

The Wind Guardian whispered.

“Everyone makes mistakes. And we are willing to endure even that and serve Your Majesty.”

“…Why?”

“It’s not because it was made that way. Thousands of years of being by your Majesty’s side. During that long time, we were all taken care of by His Majesty.”

“That’s right. You’re saying the right thing after a long time.”

“Exactly. Guardian of the wind.”

“Did you see when I said something wrong?”

Sounds of laughter come and go. Lunaris blinked her eyes.

“Ha, but I am no longer a spirit…”

“Maybe we can increase our remaining lifespan.”

“Maybe there is a way to shape the body of a spirit.”

“There is a possibility. Your majesty. We’ll take care of it. Just like His Majesty did for us.”

“……”

Lunaris glanced back at Duran.

The knight of the forest smiled lightly.

“Your Majesty.”

“……”

“Our queen is always one.”

Lunaris opened her mouth. Then he shrugged her shoulders.

“…They are fools. Really.”

Lunaris looked up at the moon. She had no more world trees. His empty seat will remain in my memory, and will probably come up sparsely.

But the vacancy is filled.

To a new relationship.

“…Go back. Together.”

. . .

Basmorph stood on top of the castle wall, looking down at his garnet.

The city is being rebuilt. All the wealth they had was destroyed, but most of the most important ‘people’ returned.

Of course, there were also completely dead people. They didn’t come back alive.

Those who should be buried deep in the heart and remembered.

“…Zahard.”

Basmov looked back. He is an existence that does not show the same divinity as when he first saw it.

From noble mtl dot com

As if…

A saint who seems to have given up all of his powers by reviving everyone.

“Are you…A rookie?”

“I would rather do that. But…”

As he leaned against the wall, Zahard smiled.

“Unfortunately, no. Sir Basmov.”

“…I see.”

Basmov felt the wind blowing. It is the wind of change.

This wind will probably spread far. And he will move the stopped empire again.

“…Zahard.”

I saw an army of elves approaching beyond the walls. As they had been told beforehand, they were waiting beyond the walls to take over the identity of the man who had witnessed and resolved all of this.

Exactly 5 days to the time they promised.

That, too, is now only three days away.

“Garnet can fight for you even now.”

“Why are you fighting? It is not a hostile force.”

“If you are taken away by them, you may be imprisoned for your sins.”

“Well… I don’t think they’re vicious to that extent.”

Zahad shook his hand. Someone from the elven camp, far away like a dot, jumped up and down.

“Do you know of any elves?”

“Because I’m kind of close with the daughter of the queen over there.”

“…How else?”

“As you go through life, you are bound to form relationships.”

Basmov laughed involuntarily.

“You are…A really strange person.”

That’s it.

Only one person lifted Garnet from Hell.

“I still hate spirits.”

“It’s more strange not to do it.”

“I want to burn the ancient forest with fire even now.”

“If I had been there, would I have done the same?”

“…But I won’t.”

Basmorph planted his feet firmly on the ground.

“Because you… Showed me that there is another way.”

“Another way?”

“Even in pitch-black darkness, there is a ray of light. Even when everyone gave up and just threw themselves into hatred, there was one man who insisted on a different path.”

Basmorph took a deep breath.

He knelt down. He put his hand on the ground.

Slowly raised his forehead on the wall.

“Thank you.”

On behalf of Garnet.

“Thank you.”

On behalf of the nobility of the empire.

“Thank you.”

As a person.

“You…Are with me…”

Basmov saluted deeply.

“I can never forget…A benefactor.”

“Isn’t this what you did to receive this kind of thanks?”

“Take it. I saw your moves. The path you will take from now on will probably be a thorny road. Hell itself. I saw that being, and I know how you feel about pursuing it. So…”

Basmorph brushed his knees and stood up.

Serious eyes whispered.

“I will always stand by your side. No matter what high person in the empire commands you, I will stand by your side. Life for life. You… Are Garnet’s benefactor. No matter what anyone says, we will all risk our lives for you.”

“……”

“I will say it again. Zahard.”

Basmov gave a small laugh.

Thank you. A hero.”
