56 – Qualifications (3)

Frowning eyes, red face, closed mouth.

A raised voice and slightly faster speech.

The girl in front of me was angry at me.

I got really annoyed and slapped Latera’s hand away.

When he suddenly got angry, my reaction naturally became harsh.

In the first place, where did you learn the habit of grabbing someone by the collar when you feel angry?

“you.”

I stood up, shaking my hands. Due to the height difference, Latera naturally looked up at me.

“That sounds really interesting.”

“…Sounds interesting?”

Latera looked at me with glaring eyes. Right now, I feel like my expression isn’t round and it doesn’t look cool, but this guy didn’t back down or get discouraged.

“If you back away after glaring at me so scary, you will be disqualified as a guardian angel.”

It wasn’t just a glare. I wasn’t happy with what this guy said. The same goes for showing Kylie’s body in front of me, and the other for telling me that the choice I made was wrong.

“Of course it’s all wrong!”

Latera’s eyes widened as if wondering what on earth she was thinking.

“Do you know what a contract with the devil means? They engrave the records of their transactions on their souls! Those traces will never be erased. Even if I’m lucky and reincarnated…”

“Is that the end?”

I interrupted Latera mid-sentence.

“No matter what you say, I don’t understand what harm it does to me to have the fact that I made a deal with the devil etched into my soul.”

I laughed at the girl in front of me.

I felt better when I did back to the little boy what he had done to me.

“Wow, I can’t believe I’m feeling better…”

Latera’s expression was perplexed.

However, it wasn’t long before she wiped the evidence of her embarrassment from her face. I decided that it wasn’t something I had done once or twice. He looked quite skilled.

“If you make a deal with the devil, your soul will be subject to penalty points. “I almost thought the hero might not have been able to come here.”

“Which is more important, being assessed a penalty point or being in imminent danger of death? “At least I think it’s the latter.”

From noble mtl dot com

“There is a possibility of reincarnation.”

“…I see that it is just a possibility. “I guess even that isn’t clear.”

“…”

“What does reincarnation mean if I’m going to die right away? And even though I had so many penalty points, I still qualified. “Then it’s probably still okay.”

I was so annoyed that I habitually massaged the back of my neck.

Meanwhile, a thought occurred to me.

“Didn’t I just say that my penalty points were five hundred points?”

I had a doubt. How many penalty points will it be possible to avoid coming here even if you say the name of a forgotten wizard?

“Oh, no! “What are you thinking now!”

Latera’s relaxed face once again turned into embarrassment.

I smiled as I heard what I was hoping for.

I didn’t care at all that Latera was flustered and flustered. Rather, I decided to say what I wanted to say.

As long as I knew that my thoughts were already being read by the other person, I had nothing to hesitate about.

“Why do you say no?”

“If the hero doesn’t come here… you will definitely regret it.”

“regret? “What can I do here?”

I narrowed my eyes and smiled.

“Since the opportunity has come, I will tell you clearly, it doesn’t matter if I don’t come here.”

Places that were not in my knowledge to begin with had no value to me.

therefore. Even the arrogant little boy in front of me has no value to me.

What I didn’t know was enough to be a potential threat.

“…”

“I think it’s you who is in trouble.”

Unless Latera lied to me, I was the one who appeared after five hundred years and was qualified to enter this place.

Then, when a hero does not appear for such a long time, the value of the existence of ‘me’ gradually increases. Moreover, since the demon god has not yet died, the presence of a hero will be even more necessary.

“Then.”

I bent my legs and made eye contact with the little boy.

“Aren’t I the boss?”

“…yes?”

“I am A, and you are Eul. I was annoyed by your strangely arrogant behavior earlier. “You… can’t grab me by the collar or interrupt me, right?”

I patted Latera’s head. Even when I thought about it, that touch didn’t have any kindness in it.

*

“…”

Latera was so upset, like a little kid.

He sat down on the ground, pulled his knees together, and didn’t even look in this direction.

“…”

You must be reading my thoughts. I was almost embarrassed because he didn’t respond to me teasing him for sulking.

I left her silent and observed the transparent coffin. I was curious about what it was made of, but I didn’t think about destroying it.

Empty-

It just ends with tapping the glass with the back of your hand.

I turned my gaze and looked at the depressed little boy.

“Let me ask you something.”

“…ask.”

Latera nodded, looking downcast. Still, it looks like he has the intention to answer.

“You… said this is a place where souls exist.”

“…yes.”

“Then what is this?”

I pointed to Kylie’s body.

The pale body, motionless and colorless, simply closed its eyes.

“It is a place where the soul exists, so why is there a body that is not even a soul?”

“…Because you are alive.”

Latera answered reluctantly, although she could not shake off her gloomy appearance.

“The name ‘House of the Hero’ is like the final destination.”

“Then it would be better to call it the Hall of Heroes.”

“no.”

Latera flatly denied it.

“I like it better at home. The hall is not a place to return to at all. “This is where the warrior Kylie rests, not a place where she exists to be admired by others.”

“You really like Kylie. “They also think about the situation of the dead person.”

“…It’s a little different from that.”

Latera sighed and smiled bitterly.

“It’s about yearning for the relationship you have with a warrior.”

“You long for a relationship?”

“My goal is to become a wonderful angel like my senior.”

“I wonder who your senior is.”

“I am a guardian angel who is a colleague of the warrior Kylie.”

After saying that, Latera hesitated for a moment. Then he moved his gaze here and there as if he was watching me.

I approached Latera.

As far as I know, the warrior Kylie’s companions were an elf wizard and an alchemist. I’ve never even heard of a guardian angel.

“say it. “I’m curious.”

“…Can I really tell you?”

“If you could read my thoughts, you would understand.”

“…It’s just as you said.”

Latera stared at me and opened her mouth.

“When I was here, my senior told me a story about his adventures. Like when I first met Kylie. “It was a time when we were recruiting colleagues one after another.”

Latera seemed a little amused as she told me the story.

“And their stories were written down in their entirety in the Bible. He became someone whose name was engraved in history. “It is certain that future generations will remember this.”

“Strangely enough, that’s just a guess.”

“I have never left here.”

Latera laughed heartily and wiggled her fingers.

“I really don’t know anything. “All I know is the hearts of the people who came here and the stories my senior told me.”

Then Latera looked at my face.

“When you stay here, you start yearning for adventure at least once. If you keep hearing interesting stories like that. I’ve been here for 500 years. I’ve been waiting patiently for all this time. I was really nice…”

Latera’s eyes became increasingly red as she spoke. The signs were bad.

After reading my thoughts, Laterra tapped my chest with her hand! I hit it.

“I am! It is a ‘guardian angel’ that exists to help the hero and subdue the demon. It is said that the hero’s best friend whom the heavens forged. I just don’t cry over things like this.”

“That’s great.”

I ran my hand over my face.

If you listen to what this guy says, it’s a story about how he’s been a tomb keeper for the past 500 years, waiting for the next great hero…

“that’s right. Do you know how lonely you’ve been all this time? However, think about how I felt when I heard that the warrior I had waited for so long had made a contract with the devil.”

Still, Latera smiled brightly and took my hand.

“I’ve been waiting for you here the whole time. “You are the hero of my destiny.”

Latera’s eyes were wide open and her face was full of anticipation. A burning desire was visible in her purple eyes.

“therefore. Please take me out of here.”

“no.”

“…yes?”

Latera leaned in close and spoke to me questioningly.

The gloomy attitude from before was gone.

“no. Of course, accepting it is a cliché here, right? Perfect! When the mood is good! “Just give me a touching line!”

“calm down.”

“Why are you calming down?”

“…her.”

I was so dumbfounded that I smiled helplessly.

In addition to pretending to be sulky… it crossed the line into shamelessness. This was my first time seeing this type of person. But, apart from that, I had to give a reason why I had to refuse here.

“If I take you away from here right now, you won’t be able to do anything?”

“You can’t do anything? What do you mean by that?”

“I am still 11 years old.”

At my words, Latera narrowed her eyes.

“…Yes?”

“I’m not ready, and I’m too weak to do anything yet.”
