chapter 359
359.Even if You Kill It, It’s a Problem, if You Don’t Kill It, It’s a Problem (1)
“…It’s a mess.”
Daesinjeon, which was neat until I set sail, was covered in moss and algae and looked ugly.
Other houses in the city were in similar condition, but it felt that way even more because it was bigger and whiter than any other building in the city.
Should I somehow have killed him as quickly as possible?
[Contractor?]
As I thought about that, I shook my head. Since there were three people in the first place, it would have been difficult to stop them no matter what they did. There was no need for me to feel guilty. From the looks of it, thanks to Karina, casualties were minimized.
Still, hundreds of people would have died…
“John!”
“Milia. Are you okay?”
I patted Milia’s back as she jumped into her arms and checked her condition. Fortunately, it seemed that Milia was not injured.
“Yes!”
“What about Karina?”
“We’re treating people from the inside!”
“Are the other children hurt?”
“I was a little injured, but everyone is safe! What about John?! “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“As you can see, I am fine.”
“Thank goodness…”
Although I’m a little tired. I looked around at the patients lying side by side in the lobby of the main shrine, and then headed to Karina with Milia.
As I entered the main temple, I saw Karina holding the wrist of an old man and using healing magic.
“Marquis Quartz… !”
“Everyone, lie down. “Will it be used only when the patients wake up?”
Why is everyone so scared to stand up and say hello? Suddenly, I feel like trash. I calmed down the patients, feeling more chilled than when I fought the three new siblings.
And because of the commotion, Karina noticed my presence and looked at me with a happy face.
“I’ve been there.”
“Thanks for your efforts. But we’ll talk about it later… “
“Okay.”
I quietly retreated as Karina said.
I had no intention of interfering with the treatment of the patient. After I stepped down, Karina began to focus on patient care again.
“John, then I’ll go too. “I have to go change the bands for the patients…”
Millia seemed to want to cling to me more, but she wasn’t so oblivious that she clung to me even to this point. I looked at Milia’s back as she left, then turned her body and left the temple.
I have to do what I can.
[Where is the contractor?]
“To work.”
I left the main shrine and came out to the square where the smell of the sea was still strong and I shouted softly.
“Production.”
——————————-
“Thanks to you, the reconstruction of the city was completed quickly. “You are the benefactor of this city!”
Archbishop Pierre seemed thrilled by my day-trip urban reconstruction project.
“No. I just wanted to contribute to the rebuilding of the city…”
If you look at it from the beginning, you can’t say that I am not responsible at all.
I tried to calm my uneasiness and looked at the city, which had become fine again and, in fact, was cleaner than before. It was all the result of my skills.
Fix what’s broken. If something is damaged to the point of being unusable, I rebuild it. After traveling throughout the city to repair and construct buildings, Lorelei’s urban reconstruction was completed in an instant.
I feel like the burden on my mind has been lightened a little because I completed something that would have originally taken at least a month to rebuild in one go.
“Then we will go.”
“Goodbye. Next time you come, I will treat you very warmly. And…As you said, I will look for information about the ancient gods.”
After saying hello to Archbishop Pierre, we quietly took the portal and returned to Calon Academy.
“Are the patients okay?”
“Don’t worry too much. “You cured all the dangerous people with your magic, and there’s a priest there too.”
“I thought I was really going crazy. While Karina was praying at the temple, a tidal wave suddenly swept over the city… Even the bottles of alcohol I brought were smashed.”
“Oh, I was so scared…”
“I thought foreign media was really scary. I heard that he went all the way to the Fog Sea, but that means that the fight there had repercussions up to here. I think you had a hard time too…”
The group each expressed their impressions and headed towards Yeomyeonggwan with their exhausted bodies.
In the aftermath of the tsunami, we cared for patients and rebuilt the city without being able to rest properly.
Although I am still cheerful, my companions all looked exhausted.
“Let’s go in quickly and rest. It’s hard… “
“I never imagined that the end of winter vacation would end like this…”
We chatted and walked towards Yeomyeonggwan. The Yeomyeong Pavilion, which I saw for the first time in a long time, was painted pure white, probably because it had snowed in the central region.
“Wow, it’s snowing here~”
“Lorelai was cool, let alone her eyes.”
“The first snow fell later than expected.”
I looked up at the sky blankly.
Is the third year starting now?
I was so busy throughout my third year that I didn’t even think about vacation.
“Hehe, it’s almost third year. “There is no senior above me!”
“Wow, I’m in the highest grade…”
“I’m glad I don’t have to worry about finding a job. Research and development must continue, but…”
“I’m Yohan’s secretary, so getting a job is already a thing of the past.”
It’s a job.
With that one word, everyone’s eyes turned to me.
Why is it so scary?
“I don’t want to be separated from John.”
“Me too!”
“Hehe, I’m fine. “John is my bodyguard.”
Karina and Leni, who were legally able to stay with me, looked like they didn’t care at all about getting a job or anything like that. In the first place, once Karina graduates, she only goes to work such as organizing religious events and volunteering, so it doesn’t really matter to her.
Reniya, my co-worker.
“Hi-Hi. “I’m going to marry Yohan when I graduate!”
Oh, that’s right.
“It’s not a job, it’s a job.”
“That’s a good thing!”
At Viola’s point, Milia hugged her arms and puffed out her cheeks. Have fun. Have fun…
“Oh my, Millia, you can’t cut in line.”
“Chi.”
Don’t have a cat fight here.
I said, touching Milia’s cheeks, puffing them out.
“Let’s stop talking here and go into Yeomyeonggwan and talk.”
I still have work to do.
I sighed as I thought of Sitri, who must have been locked up in the Ryomyeonggwan.
————-
“It looks like you’ve taken care of all the sea gods~?”
“I couldn’t catch one person.”
Ran Inha was secretly worried that she couldn’t catch God, but since her hand was cut off, she probably couldn’t do anything. It wasn’t just cut, it was even burned.
It wasn’t even a hydra, so it didn’t seem like it could regenerate.
“That’s okay~ I won’t be able to do anything on my own anyway. In the first place, the three of us combined were one god~”
“Sitri. “Can you contact Eligos?”
“Huh~? “Why don’t you get some rest~?”
“The only time we rest is after we kill all the foreign media. And…If possible, I would like to know about the foreign media that signed a contract with Harpas.”
If my guess is correct, he is probably the mastermind behind the foreign media invading this country. If he just defeats him, he will probably be able to reach the true ending.
We need to gather information on him as soon as possible and either chase him out or subdue him. If you can do this much damage in dealing with the b*stard gods, the damage that will occur when they appear in person… Won’t be limited to just one city.
“Oh my, that would be difficult without additional transactions~?”
“I guess I should tell them to hand it over before they go to hell and start messing with me.”
“Isn’t that too much~?”
“Then just tell them to spit out information without being a bother.”
“Hmm~ I’ll try to convey it to you first~ But don’t trust it too much~? Even among the devils, there is a fairly large faction that supporters joining the foreign gods~ Eligos is on the other side~”
They are also suffering from factional strife.
Recalling my conversation with Harpas, I decided that I should use another information channel.
Fortunately, the devil wasn’t the only source of information for me.
“Then I’ll go take a rest. Hmm… I have a pile of romance novels.”
“Human imagination is so fun~”
If we confiscate all those books, wouldn’t we be able to exploit them more efficiently? When my eyes landed on the bookshelf filled with romance novels arranged in a chaotic manner out of order, Sitri asked me in a puzzled voice.
“Now, wait~ Are you sure you’re trying to steal my collection~?”
“I will decide after seeing what you do.”
“Hehe, I’m on your side~”
Seeing Sitri act friendly towards me in a subservient voice, I think she’s immersed in a romance novel.
Well, if the devil were to say something like that, wouldn’t you be able to trust him?
“Then I’ll go and stay locked in my room.”
“Goodbye~”
I left Sitri’s room and headed to my room
I guess I should take a breather and have an interview with the status window.
If I don’t get the answer, I have to go see Sabrina.
There was no time for me to rest.
If you run hard now, the future will be easier.
