Red hair and gray eyes?’
I grabbed the neck that had been tightened and thought as I opened up.
There is… someone I know.
But no matter how I look at it, it’s not, right?
The voice is completely masculine.
“Ack! It hurts! Let me go!”
“Aha. I remember your face. Do you still take money from people?”
“L, let go! Let go of me!”
Despite the difference in height and size, the man caught in the boy’s hand couldn’t stop.
“What a madman. You’ve got a whole lot of drugstores in your hands.”
The boy who gnashed his teeth put strength in his hands.
“Argh!”
I opened my mouth wide.
The man’s fingers were all broken and twisted.
“Don’t you know how scary the guard is these days? Even worse trash, like you are doing this while noticing.”
“Eugh, haaa.”
It must hurt…
The man held onto his broken hand and groaned as he knelt down.
Tsk tsk, the boy clicked his tongue and took out something like a business card from his bosom.
Then he put it in the man’s front pocket and said.
“This is a treatment room run by my friend, who is a capable person. They fix broken bones, so go and see it.”
The boy’s eyes bent.
It seemed like he was laughing.
“If you tell them that you came here after receiving mental training from Jem, they will understand.”
“Whoaaa!”
Boy, no! The words of the ‘girl’ finally cleared my doubts!
“But pay for it!”
“Aack!”
Jem kicked the illegal moneylender out of the ass.
“If you run after getting treatment, you’ll go to the end of hell, and I will break all your fingers!”
“Jem!”
I shouted in joy.
Jem pulled down the robe, which was still covering her nose and mouth, and smiled at me.
“You’re Lilith, right?”
****
Jem.
The full name is Jemian Traha.
A commoner mercenary with tremendous ability, who was the head of the “Red Wild Dog” mercenary group in the original!
A man who later swept the battlefield, becoming a comrade-in-arms with the main character, Cheshire!
…That’s what I know.
Jem, our friend who wasn’t a man but a woman and, unlike the original work, graduated from a training school by receiving special tutoring from me!
“What are you!”
“Ahaha!”
It was the first meeting in half a year.
In the temple prayer room, we talked about the past.
“Tall… Why are you so tall?”
“I’ve grown a lot, right? I was surprised, too. When I wake up, I’m tall, and when I wake up, I’m tall again.”
“Amazing. I didn’t recognize you at all because of your height.”
“Haha. I’m sure I’m all grown up now.”
No. You’re going to grow more than 2m in the future…
Of course, I swallowed the word.
“But your voice sounds so different?”
“That’s true. It’s changed a lot in a few months. No, what’s the color of your hair? I didn’t recognize you at once either!”
“Ah! I hid it for a moment!”
I smiled and brushed my bangs back after my Dad.
At the same time, when the magic was lifted, Jem laughed as if it were funny.
“So cool!”
“Right?”
It’s quite thrilling when I reveal my hidden power.
“By the way, Jem! Gerard called you before to see you all together, but why did you refuse?”
“Ah, that.”
When we were discharged from the training center, Gerard decided to treat Cheshire, me, Jem, and Rom to a nice meal.
It’s been delayed because there’s been a lot of noise.
Was it after the Holy Beast crisis had just ended?
Gerard personally sent a carriage to find Jem and Rom, but neither of them came, so it ended up being canceled.
“Sorry. It’s not that I didn’t go then, but I couldn’t go. I was hired by a punitive expedition.”
“Huh, I see. Are you already working as a mercenary?”
“Of course. I joined the mercenary corps as soon as I was discharged. I don’t think I’ve ever rested for a day since then.”
“Really?”
“Eung. I’m pretty good at this! If I don’t join, my mercenary team won’t even accept requests!”
Jem was flattered.
“I know, I know! Jem is the best!”
“Ahaha!”
Of course, it will go well. Who is Jemian Traha?
“But what about Rom? Aside from you, why didn’t Rom come when he invited him?”
“Ah, he’s busy, too.”
Jem laughed and took out a business card from her arms.
“Eh. Didn’t you give this to the debtor earlier?”
“That’s right. Rom opened a treatment room on Seraph Street. That kid, he really makes a lot of money?”
“What?”
“Haha. Should I say it’s all thanks to me? I let all of our mercenaries go to Rom when they get hurt and injured.”
“Wow, that’s great!”
“Right? He doesn’t even stutter anymore. I thought I was going to die of frustration.”
“R, really? Wow, that’s great! It’s really, really good!”
“Ahaha!”
I held Jem’s hand tightly and was genuinely happy.
It’s full of good news!
We laughed and chatted for a long time after that.
* * *
I’m home!
When I got home and got ready for bed, I covered myself with a blanket and laid down, but I couldn’t stop laughing.
‘Today was the best!’
It had been a long time since I had seen Jem, and I had safely reached the purpose of visiting the temple while having dinner with Zadkiel.
The bad emperor’s tricks won’t end with this one.
‘Well, with this, I’ll be able to stop the absurd false revelation that started a war.’
They are the main characters preparing for a revolution, risking their lives to live in peace, but I can’t make them go to war with aggression.
I nodded and went to sleep, but I kept tossing and turning because I thought of big Jem.
The name of the last chapter of the original work, <Revolution>.
“Ugh!”
Those words make my heart feel magnificent!
At first, it was the commoners who ran barefoot on the Capital and started the demonstration.
The Emperor’s powerful men tried to subdue them by force, but they had no clue.
‘Because Jemian Traha blocked everything in a really cool way!’
When I first met her, I didn’t reach her quickly because I was confused.
How should I say it? Thinking of Jem growing up so fast, I feel like the revolution is getting closer?
“Ahaha! Let’s go like this!”
Maybe the subjugation is still not over, as the place next to my bed was empty.
“Good night, dad! I love you!”
Still, with a happy heart, I said goodnight to my dad.
“Be sure to come home tomorrow!”
****
When Enoch returned to the capital after subjugating the beasts in the south.
What was waiting for him was bitter news.
‘How funny.’
Late at night.
At the Capital, where the first snow has covered the whole world in white.
Unlike the serene scenery, the Capital was turned upside down.
‘What do you mean God gave a revelation like that? Do you treat the people of the empire as fools?’
The revelation of God in the temple of Parvil.
In the revelation, God was urging war of aggression and unification of the continent.
Of course, it was the emperor’s trick.
Originally, this winter, the Empire should have started a war of aggression.
The emperor had given the order to take Lilith as a hostage, so Enoch had prepared it in advance.
‘Lilith.’
Enoch smiled as he remembered his daughter.
The good kid did a dangerous act by deceiving her class to keep her father’s beliefs.
Octava…
It wasn’t bad as a result.
Because the emperor could no longer hold on to a secure leash.
However, he didn’t think that the greedy evil man would give up easily.
Holy beast incident.
And this revelation of God.
The struggle doesn’t stop.
‘It’s difficult.’
It seemed that the emperor somehow didn’t want to let this year pass.
Due to the miracle that happened when the sick at the Seraph Temple robbed their position, the people of the Empire reached their peak of faith.
Maybe it will be hard on Enoch if he goes against this message from God and fights against the attack.
“Whoo.”
His weary steps became lighter as soon as the Duke’s house came into view.
Because he had no intention of showing a difficult side to his daughter, who was worried about him.
“….?”
Then.
Enoch found a shadow standing in front of the main gate of the dark Duke’s mansion.
“Cheshire?”
As he got closer, it was Cheshire.
“Why are you here?”
It was a cold day.
Even so, the child was standing in a daze, wearing only a thin piece of clothing unsuitable for the weather.
Enoch, who hurried up, grabbed Cheshire’s cheek. It was cold.
“What is this! Why? Did you come to see Lilith? No, why didn’t you wait inside?”
“Uncle….”
Enoch paused.
Cheshire’s eyes were red. He’s crying.
Besides, it was empty.
Just like when they first met.
“What’s going on?”
“Uncle, I….”
A trembling body.
It wasn’t because he was cold, he seemed afraid of something.
“I, I don’t know….”
“What?”
With trembling hands, Cheshire took something from his bosom and handed it to Enoch.
It had three letters.
At that moment, Enoch’s heart dropped.
He didn’t want to read the obvious content right away.
The familiar handwriting of his daughter.
He could tell just by looking at that.
‘I guess you said it. To Cheshire.’
What this letter will be.
Why Cheshire is so confused and afraid.
He… knew everything.
“By myself, I kept thinking about it.”
“….”
“I’ve been thinking about what I should do, what I should do…”
“….”
“…I don’t know.”
Tears fell from the child’s eyes.
Watching Cheshire, who must have been suffering alone for days and days, made him choke up.
“Tell me. Uncle.”
Cheshire held Enoch’s arm with a trembling hand.
And, desperate enough to feel sorry for him, he began to beg.
“Anything, I’ll do anything. I, I’ll do everything. Please. If you teach me, I will study hard, and if you tell me to, I will do everything. I will do it. “
“….”
“So please…”
Tears flowed endlessly down his frowning face. Cheshire roughly wiped his tears with his sleeve.
“Not killing Lilith with my own hands…”
“Cheshire. What do you mean—”
Enoch’s face is distorted.
“She has to live. Safely. I made a promise. But, eukh…”
“….”
He needs to soothe him.
But Enoch couldn’t open his mouth.
A kid who had no facial expressions and was used to hiding his feelings.
“W, what should I do…”
He was driven to the edge of a cliff and sobbed pitifully.
“Please tell me…”
Red hair and gray eyes?’
I grabbed the neck that had been tightened and thought as I opened up.
There is… someone I know.
But no matter how I look at it, it’s not, right?
The voice is completely masculine.
