199 – I’ve been there, welcome (Wan)
What about 3 days?, Huh? The moment passed by in an instant.
Friendly days that remind me of the old days, playing, eating, sleeping and playing games with each other all day long.
It was about time that I started to miss my colleagues, my teacher, Erina, Yuen, Seolgaram, and finally, the faces of Yurika and Kei.
The man holding the tray came up to me and handed me the food he had prepared for breakfast.
And he casually hinted.
“It’s today.”
“…Mumble…Yes?”
“Today is the day of your resurrection.”
“…Ah.”
I suddenly look at my watch.
Definitely.
I realize that the time has come.
“It’s fast.”
“Because it was three days in the first place.”
Mutter, murmuring―
The man played a passionate folk game that seemed to ignite her last passion, and I also did my best to participate.
“That’s right!”
“GG!”
When the game was finished satisfactorily, the man stood up and tapped me on the shoulder, as if that was enough.
“Then get ready quickly.”
Because it is time to return to where our precious people are.
* * *
“That’s Jin going down to the underworld.”
I turned my gaze towards the direction the man pointed to, shouldering the bag he had given me as various souvenirs(?).
It looks like a shabby magic circle with no sincerity, as if it was drawn by street kids.
“…Goddess Leah’s thing was shiny…But what on earth is it that your brother is the main deity?”
“You bastard… I’m a martial arts fighter in the first place.”
Madoni, asking for something as complex as alchemy is lame in the first place.
A man who grumbles.
Soon, she crossed her arms and said, ‘Ah~’ and brought up a new topic as if she had forgotten.
“Do you know your physical condition yourself?”
“Yes, well… I’m still getting used to the God’s vessel you gave me.”
“Okay, okay. It’ll probably be awkward at first. And it’ll be even more awkward when you go down to the lower world. First, control your strength even if it means staying up all night for a few days.”
Now you are practically a living disaster.
“Well, you can’t just look at a person and treat them as a disaster.”
“There’s nothing you can do about it. Now you’ve become strong enough to take on a Single-handedly? Do you want to touch the people around you and watch them crumble like a cookie?”
Hmm, it gives me chills when you say that.
It certainly seemed like a good idea to follow his advice.
Besides, the man nagged me in various ways like a worried father.
Although they are all stories of flesh and blood.
‘… ‘I feel like I’m going to get neurotic.’
“Hey! This is my senior’s advice. Don’t pout and show that you don’t like it!”
“Nuneunneun~”
“This sherry…”
The man, who was shaking, soon smiled at me.
“Then see you in 50 years.”
I will call you again then.
“Yes.”
She held his hand and shook it slowly.
Turn your body around.
Now it’s time to go back to where I belong… As.
‘…… ‘
Her steps stopped for a moment.
She stuttered out her words to the man who was tilting his head as if asking why.
“Brother.”
“…Huh? Why are you in a hurry to go to the bathroom?”
“Thank you.”
“…What?”
I raised my head towards the sky for a moment.
The sky above the clouds.
The warm sun was shining down as if blessing.
“…Actually, I still feel resentful towards my brother in a corner of my heart. All the misfortunes I’ve experienced…Are ultimately determined by others.”
“……”
“But…I am truly grateful to cover up for that.”
Close both eyes.
Numerous relationships unfold like a fairy tale book.
Memories of a colleague as precious as life pass by like a breeze.
―Choi Si-woo.
―Siwoo.
―Foolish disciple!
―… Siwoo.
―Choi!
―Uh, hehehe…
And……
―I will always pray.
A silver-haired woman smiling at me.
“…For allowing me to meet them…”
For allowing me to live and breathe in this world… Thank you very much.
“………”
Was this something unexpected at all?
The man stuttered as he looked at me with my head down.
I open my mouth to say something, but hesitate.
Finally, he covers his face with his palm and gestures as if to go away.
“…What are you crying?”
“Woah, who cries! It’s because dust got in there.”
“Ah… Hyung. These days, that kind of excuse doesn’t work at all.”
“It’s noisy, hurry up!”
I smiled brightly at her man’s scolding and waved her hand behind her.
Quickly get on top of the transmission line.
I slowly closed my eyes as my consciousness drifted away.

[…] … System check.]
[Check the activation of the special .]
[The 3-day cooldown has ended.]
[Resurrection in progress…… ]
[…] ……… ]
[Choi Si-woo.]
[We sincerely congratulate you on your rebirth.]
“…Hmm.”
It’s still noisy.
Choi Si-woo slowly got up and looked around.
A place where holy chants echo from everywhere.
A place with a white Gothic scenery, huge stained glass, and a statue of a pink goddess offering prayers.
A church dedicated to the goddess Irelua.
It was the headquarters of the so-called religious order.
‘… Fortunately, it turned out as my brother said.’
When I look down, I guess… Coffin? I guess I was lying inside a wooden box.
Turn your head.
Dozens of types of weapons were stuck around the coffin like skewers, giving it the appearance of a tomb of weapons.
‘… This.’
It was a culture I remembered.
A traditional burial method called ‘Hero’s Oath’.
It was originally a culture reserved for southern minorities, but it was an expression of respect that spread through word of mouth.
I understood the situation where the greatest warrior was given the best treatment when he died.
‘It looks like they managed to retrieve the body from that mess… ‘
The Demon God’s Explodes! It would have exploded and normal people wouldn’t have been able to come in.
It appears that Irelua recovered the fragments and restored them to look as good as possible.
And when the people around me saw that, they probably realized that I had blown myself up and defeated the
Demon god.
“…You’re lucky.”
Because the funeral was not held.
But for that reason, a creeping worry lingered in my head.
‘… Indeed… ‘Will they leave me alone?’
I don’t think so.
Not only Erina, but also Wien will probably nag me a lot.
Especially Yurika.
Gulp―
I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
Three years of living with Yurika.
There were just two times when she got really angry… It was so scary that even now, just thinking about that time makes me feel numb.
It was a time when I shivered for a moment.
―Wow!
She turns her head at the sudden cute scream.
A cute doll-like goddess with pink hair and two heads.
Irelua was fluttering and flying with her little angel wings.
“Oh, you are alive as expected. Apostle!”
Irelua, who was happy, flew at her full speed and fell into my arms.
Is it because her eyes are as big as her head is big?
A large droplet hangs and flows down.
“…Thank you for your concern.”
―Yes, I was really worried. Still, I’m glad you came back. –
Irelua was happy, shedding tears.
– Shocked.
She then pulled away for a moment and looked up at me with her surprised face, as if she felt something.
―… She must have met him.
“Oh, do you see it?”
―His protection and the mighty power of the Absolute God are pouring down from you.
She whirled around her, uttering expressions of fear and exclamation.
―I guess I can no longer be called an apostle. No… In fact, I might have to speak more highly… You are the Lord’s successor.
“…Um. I still need to talk about that. Can you call me, Russel and Leah, later?”
―Huh? What… Now that the Demon God has disappeared, it is not difficult to meet him. I get it. Do not convey the news to her younger siblings.
Irelua nodded her head and soon seemed to have realized something, grabbing my shoulder and lifting her up.
―This is not the time to be like this. Shouldn’t we quickly report this news to the warrior and the saint? That won’t work. Let me go first!
Irelua hurriedly finished her words and flew away.
Looking at her like that, I slowly took a step under the sun shining brightly on her.
* * *
Church of Irelua.
Outside garden.
Inside the ruins that were more than half collapsed due to the demonic invasion.
A stunningly beautiful silver-haired woman was on her knees praying.
Normally, this would be a prayer for Goddess Irelua.
There was no suitable object for the prayers offered by the saint.
‘…… Please.’
Just a wish.
‘…… ‘Hopefully.’
I just wish.
‘…… Please.’
Just blind.
It was nothing more than a prayer without an object.
Please, whoever is listening to this, I only ask for one thing.
‘It’s okay just once… ‘
Please let me meet my loved one again.
Prayer continues in a trance.
“Yurika. It’s meal time.”
At that time, a platinum-blonde woman wearing half-torn armor approaches her.
“…Ah, has it already been so long?”
“…Yes.”
We looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Both had haggard faces.
My eyes were swollen from crying all night.
He was quite thin because he couldn’t eat or sleep properly.
Only 3 days.
But those three days were a time of heartbreaking pain for the two people, and indeed for those who were close to Choi Si-woo.
“…I’ll just go now.”
“Are you going already?”
“Yes. There are still many places that need to be rebuilt…And there are many people who want help.”
“…I will also participate in the afternoon.”
“…Okay, see you then.”
Yurika sighed deeply as she watched Erina leave with her words.
‘… ‘3 Days ago from now.’
She still remembered it vividly.
―■■■■■■■■■■■!!!!!
The Demon God’s That screamed so horribly that it could not be expressed.
From Noble mtl dot com
And then, the hero Erina comes out of With a devastated look on her face.
When Yurika saw the person coming out with Erina, she thought it was Choi Si-woo and tried to meet him.
―Uh, uh… you are… Mr. Dedicated B?
―……
·
But the opponent was not Choi Si-woo.
A haughty beauty with a body and face that would make even women jealous.
She introduced herself as dedicated rain, and with a face that looked like she was about to burst into tears -! I was holding back tears.
―Master’s… This is a message from the master.
―…… Yes?
―Must… certainly… hehehehe… Well, I’ll go back.
Just wait a moment.
After that, it was an instant.
The demon god, who was screaming, exploded a massive pillar of demon energy and exploded.
Sharply-
Yurika saw that and fell to her knees without realizing it.
I did not hear any voices around me saying, ‘Saint!’ Or ‘Come to your senses!’
‘… No.’
No.
Choi Si-woo is still in there.
A loved one.
My lover.
The person who will become my husband…
There is someone inside me that I want to walk with even if I have to give my all.
“Huh…Huhuh…”
I think I cried all night one day.
Goddess Irelua did not believe that she had found Choi Si-woo’s left leg and part of his right arm.
She didn’t go looking for it on purpose.
She deliberately did not look.
I thought seriously for two days.
He said he would definitely come back.
The Choi Si-woo he knows is not the kind of person who would say such things, even if they are just empty words.
Obviously. It’s definitely true as they say.
‘I will definitely come back.’
Three days. She vowed to wait.
She made up her mind.
No matter how the passage of time torments you. She swore to herself that she would never give in.
Even if it takes almost eternity and she becomes a wrinkly, ugly old woman.
I will definitely wait.
“…Ha.”
I pray again.
Because that’s all she can do.
But she immediately turned her head at the sound of wings flapping.
―My foot scrubber!!!
“…Yrel…Lua?”
Why are you in such a hurry? … Could it be that the remnants of the Have appeared!?
Yurika stopped her prayer and stretched out her hand to grab her staff.
I had to protect everyone here so that they could feel safe even without him.
But what I heard was completely unexpected.
―Too, it’s back!
“…Yes?”
―Apostle! Your treasure!
I’m back!
Jump-jump-jump-
Yurika turned her gaze without realizing it.
Tears slowly well up as I hear her steps and footsteps.
Choi Si-woo.
He came out of the church and looked around in an awkward posture, covering the light with his hand as if he was dazzled.
Definitely.
It is definitely him.
I’m fine.
This is the same outfit in which he went to face the Without any injuries whatsoever.
“…Ah.”
Moment. Our eyes meet.
Yurika felt her vision becoming blurry.
It doesn’t look right.
Even though she had shed so many tears, the tears that were still coming out were confusing her eyes and causing her to lose focus.
“……”
Choi Si-woo approaches.
One step at a time, he stops right in front of her nose and stops in front of himself.
She scratches the back of her head and looks embarrassed.
Even her actions proved that it was him.
“…I’m sorry. I’m late…”
“……”
“…Because of the restrictions, I couldn’t say that resurrection was possible.”
“……”
“Um…Over there…-“
“-Welcome.”
Choi Si-woo is shocked.
She raised her head.
Yurika was smiling brightly with her arms spread out.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
He slowly approached her and gently hugged her.
“…I’m back.”
“…Yes.”
The two looked at each other.
The gums are in full bloom.
The two met again and smiled at each other with happier expressions than anyone else.
